Healing Basketball

Chapter 510. Chapter 510.
"The New Jersey Nets are facing a huge internal crisis. In the midst of chaos, the host must not miss the opportunity to defend the home court advantage. Mission: Trigger your death while you are sick."

"While you are dying of illness:
Goal: The host needs to lead the team to win the upcoming second round of the finals.

Reward: 3000 healing value. "

At 7:46 p.m., after the entrance ceremony, Liu Xiu received a reminder of the task, adding another point of motivation.

Tonight's Rose Garden arena, the atmosphere is even higher than the day before yesterday!
The victory of G1 brought infinite confidence to the Trail Blazers fans, and the performance of the warden gave the Trail Blazers fans blind trust in him.

Now, the thing that Blazers fans worry about but also wants to see most-after winning tonight's game, the Blazers will not return to this stadium to play games this season.

The confidence of Blazers fans has reached this level.

This time the players of the two teams did not exchange pleasantries after they played. Before, it was just that Butcher and Little Flying Squirrel were at odds with McGrady. After the finals, the real grievances about the championship had been established.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the second game of the finals began.

The two teams still started, Kwame Brown steadily defeated Mourning to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers went first!

Kwame Brown took Mourning out to pick and roll with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu made a pass to the bottom line in the pick and roll. Randolph forced Jason Collins to hit a small hook and scored two points.

After winning G1, the Trail Blazers did not carelessly underestimate the enemy. Instead, they learned from the experience of playing well in G1 and reflected on what they did not do well in G1. For example, they made better use of Randolph's inside advantage .

Now they are confident that as long as their players are in a normal state, even if the Nets can still perform in the first half of G1 tonight, they will not be scored 22 to 61 by the opponent in 52 minutes.

When the Trail Blazers were preparing for the game, they prepared for the Nets to be able to play the performance of the first half of G1. The finals are coming. Since they are confident, they will prepare for the worst.

However, the performance of the Nets tonight was far inferior to the first half of the previous game. It was different from the two situations expected by the Trail Blazers. Strongly switch back to the original style of play, but chaos!
A mess!

Playing singles tactics for a while, wanting to play a team for a while, making the whole team messy and disorderly... It can't be seen that it is a regular season Eastern Conference championship team, let alone the Eastern Conference finals team .

When the Nets finally found a feeling from the chaos and started to play teamwork in an orderly manner, the point difference has been opened by the Trail Blazers to more than 20 points!

At 11 minutes and 46 seconds into the second quarter, Kidd received a pass back from McGrady and made a second pass to Richard Jefferson who cut in from the left baseline. The latter made a flying layup and caused McDyess to foul. In the next 14 seconds of the first half, the Trail Blazers scored no offense. Liu Xiu turned around and scored two points. However, after halftime, the Trail Blazers still led the Nets by 57 points 39-18 Go to halftime!
With the help of Liu Xiu, Payton, outlaws and others, Randolph showed his inside advantages to the fullest. He played 18 minutes in the half, made 13 of 8 shots, and made 4 of 2 free throws. 18 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist!

Randolph's 18 points in the half had a lot to do with Liu Xiu's threat after his performance in G1.

Not long after the start of tonight's game, the Nets replaced Jason Collins with Clifford Robinson. Jason Collins couldn't guard Randolph in one-on-one defense, let alone a thin and old man. Clifford Robinson?But in order to increase the speed inside and avoid being counterattacked by Liu Xiu, the Nets can only do so.

Offensively they are a mess, but from the defense, it can be seen that McGrady wants to cooperate with the team and has been actively cooperating with his teammates on defense, but he can't let go of his face on the offensive end, and he is not so ambitious. He wants to prove that he is capable of leading the team, but he is also worried that he is not good enough, arrogant, hesitant, contradictory...

McGrady's willingness to cooperate is the reason why Kidd has hope. After losing Kenyon Martin, Kidd does not want to lose McGrady again...

The Nets' defensive goal tonight has always been clear-to limit Liu Xiu's counterattack.

But it also gave Randolph a better singles opportunity.

At the same time, the Nets did not expect that the Trail Blazers would give up Liu Xiu as the main offensive point tonight, using Liu Xiu as a threat to create better opportunities for Randolph, and Liu Xiu is going all out to do this Things, did not show any dissatisfaction on the pitch!

上半场刘秀仅出手7次，7投3中，外加6中5的罚球，拿到11分2板7助攻。

The Nets defended Liu Xiu's fast break and paid great attention to Liu Xiu's defensive rebounds. McGrady made 10 of 3 shots in the first half. He didn't grab a few offensive rebounds, but he kept pestering Liu Xiu.

With Liu Xiu's help, Randolph played a very dominant halftime performance, beating the Nets, and the point difference reached a maximum of 21 points.

However, seeing Liu Xiu's performance, McGrady gradually began to accept his fate in the second half of the second quarter...

McGrady began to accept his fate, which is why the Nets gradually came out of chaos and returned to normal.

As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend a dead sheep, but the sheep that was taken away by wolves deserves to die.

In the third quarter, the Nets' offensive performance picked up a bit, scoring 23 points, and they did a good job on the defensive end. They were in high spirits in the third quarter, and their defensive effect was greatly improved, limiting the Trail Blazers. To 22 points, the difference was narrowed by 1 point.

But the Trail Blazers still led the Nets by 79 points 62 to 17.

At the end of the quarter, after adapting to the more active Nets' defensive strength, the Trail Blazers scored 25 points in the final quarter and limited the Nets to 20 points. The reason for the restriction is quite simple—— Maddie is tired.

In the fourth quarter of the last game, McGrady's performance was astonishingly bad. In addition to the good defense of the Trail Blazers, McGrady's physical strength could not support him to play the whole game like that is also a very important reason.

At 10:22 p.m., the final whistle blew.

104比82，开拓者队屠杀篮网队22分，将大比分打成2比0！

兰多夫20投12中，外加14中10的罚球，爆砍34分！外加14板4助攻1抢断，成为了今晚的MVP。

不过刘秀17投8中，外加11中9的罚球，拿到25分6板12助攻1抢断1盖帽的表现也不差！

After the Nets defended better against three-pointers and air cuts in the second half, they relied on Liu Xiu and Randolph to score. Liu Xiu scored 14 points and Randolph scored 16 points. The two cooperated in the second half. A tacit understanding, four of Liu Xiu's five assists in the second half were passed to Randolph, and two of Randolph's three assists in the second half were given to Liu Xiu.

...

During the competition, Liu Xiu happily received more than 1600 healing points.

Liu Xiu took advantage of the Nets' defense and gave up the shot to Randolph to help the team play better. This incident touched McGrady.

But the more McGrady learned, the more unhappy she became with Liu Xiu!
He couldn't accept that he needed to learn how to play in the finals from Liu Xiu!
At the end of the competition, Liu Xiu received a system notification, the reward for A-level scoring, and the reminder of 3000 healing points of "killing you while you are sick". She got more than 5000 healing points in one night, and Liu Xiu was in a good mood!
In the post-match press conference, what the reporters said was also very nice.

Before the start of the finals, the media overwhelmingly supported the Nets to win the championship. Compared with the bad image of the Trail Blazers, the image of the Nets is much better, and there is another saying-Kidd should also win the championship, that's it It doesn't make sense, the saying 'should win the championship' can be said. When Liu Xiu saw this report, he felt that Shuangsha wanted to beat someone.

But after G2 was over, the media had a unified argument-the Nets were about to be swept by the Trail Blazers.

Touting Liu Xiu's teammates, bragging that the Trail Blazers are going to sweep the Nets, and attacking McGrady are the three main points of reports on major basketball forums, related portals, and TV sports channels tonight.

Last night, Payton just sent McGrady to the forefront.

Now that the Nets are 0 to 2, McGrady has been set up by the media and roasted repeatedly.

That night, McGrady stayed up all night, but it was not because of public opinion.

After the game, McGrady didn't say a word from leaving the court to returning to the hotel. At one o'clock in the morning, he knocked on Kidd's door and apologized to Kidd.

Kidd also planned to talk to McGrady, otherwise he would not have accommodated McGrady in these two games. His plan was to talk about it after returning to Jersey City to see how much McGrady can change through these two games. He thinks it is worthwhile to help the strongest teammate in his career learn something in one game.

The 32-year-old Kidd is at his peak. He is confident that he can continue his state for another 3-5 years. If he can handle McGrady, help the team renew the contract with McGrady, and help McGrady grow... The league's strongest perimeter trio formed by Ferson will always be a favorite for the championship in the next few years.

If McGrady really can't be dealt with, Kidd also admits that he has played in the NBA for more than ten years and has experienced too many things, so this blow is not bad.

Unexpectedly, Maddie came to knock on the door!
Fortunately, I didn't order takeaway because I was in a bad mood, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Kidd readily accepted McGrady's apology, and the two opened their hearts, sat down and chatted all night, talked about everything, communicated how to fight next, and finally reached an agreement.

After dawn, Kidd looked at the back of McGrady who yawned and left. Now he really felt that it was not a loss if he lost the first two games!
He really felt McGrady's growth!
Kidd is very curious about one thing-have the Raptors and Magic never trained McGrady as the core?

McGrady was 25 years old when he joined the Nets last summer, very young, but he has played in the NBA for 7 years, but he has played for 7 years, won two scoring titles, was selected to the All-NBA Team 4 times and was once a team twice... ... McGrady doesn't even have the slightest bit of basketball thinking as a core player!The psychological quality is even more hip...

But growth is not afraid of coming late, but of not having it!
Although two sheep have died, it is not too late to make up for it!
