Healing Basketball

Chapter 520 520. Roses in Bloom!

McGrady returned to the bench, took the towel handed over by the staff, rubbed it frantically on his head, and threw it heavily on the chair.

A mentality explosion visible to the naked eye.

Kidd was not in the mood to lead his teammates for a while. He understood the feelings of the Spurs. He didn't know how strong the psychological quality of the Spurs players was to withstand the blows of being beaten by Liu Xiu many times at critical moments. Only in the case of being hit like this can the big score be chased from 1 to 3 to 3 to 3 for a tie-break.

The rest time was just a few minutes, McGrady's mentality exploded, Kidd stood aside and didn't speak, seeing that overtime was about to start, Nets coach Lawrence Frank could only arrange tactical adjustments by himself.

The Nets did not make personnel adjustments. The lineup of Kidd, McGrady, Richard Jefferson, Clifford Robinson, and Mourning is the best lineup they performed when they played the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers made personnel adjustments. Payton, Kwame Brown, and outlaws were replaced. Liu Xiu and McDyess continued to play, and the lineup mainly played brisk defense.

When the referee blew the whistle to notify the players of the two teams to play, Kidd reacted and quickly greeted his teammates to cheer them up.

Everyone in the team can explode mentality, but he can't!The loss in the last game was directly related to his burst of mentality after realizing that his coaching ability was not that good.

However, even if Kidd reacted, he just stood still with a cold face and McGrady exploded and smashed the towel, all of which had a great blow to the confidence of his teammates.

Originally, it was just tied and dragged into overtime. Even if Liu Xiu scored 6 points in a row, the blow to the non-core players was not that big. They didn't carry so much pressure like Kidd and McGrady. .

But now the two of them passed the negativity on to their teammates!

Moreover, McGrady did not have Kidd's comfort, and his mood did not adjust well when he played.

After the start of overtime, Kwame Brown won the jump ball. Liu Xiu quickly cut in and received a long pass from Payton and went straight to the basket to score two points with one hand. McGrady's flank blocking was very bad!

When it comes to the offense of the Nets, McGrady, when the score is behind, as long as you are in a hurry, there is only one choice... Facing the defense, make a three-pointer!
Known as "a talent that only appears once in ten years", McGrady's physical fitness is indeed not blocked. After playing for 44 minutes, the outlaws still can't block the shots, but!The extrajudicial lunatics interfered enough, and McGrady almost missed the ball!

McDyess protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Payton. The Trail Blazers counterattacked. Payton used Liu Xiu's restraint to pass the ball to Kwame Brown. Foul by Richard Jefferson.

The goal was valid, and Kwame Brown got an extra penalty!

With Kwame Brown making an extra free throw, 102 to 97, the Trail Blazers led by 5 points!
The Nets collapsed!
...

Tonight, Kidd did not make any wrong decisions at other times. Even if Liu Xiulian scored 6 points and dragged into overtime, his decision was correct, but there was a warden on the opposite side...

But after the regular time was over, he made a mistake and failed to calm down and lead his teammates in the first place. Just such a mistake sounded the death knell of the Nets!
He reacted and actively mobilized the morale of his teammates before going on the court, but it didn't work for a while. After the Trail Blazers scored 5 points in a row and gained a clear lead, the teammates woke up. It started to work and played teamwork, but Richard Jefferson on the wing had no choice but to catch the ball and made a three-pointer.

Although McGrady and Richard Jefferson's cooperative defense later interfered with Liu Xiu's strong shot after the pick-and-roll, interrupting Liu Xiu's "long time in prison", the bonus effect of the talent "Mai Mang" is temporarily It was over, but then Kwame Brown hit the ball from Mourning on the backboard with a peg block. Payton received a pass from Kwame Brown to push the ball back. Liu Xiu finally Rush up, counterattack without the ball, the limit speed is 99!

Liu Xiu rushed to the opposite side like a bolt of lightning, caught the ball and took off, dunking with both hands to score two points.

104 to 97, the point difference came to 7 points!
This time, what Liu Xiu dropped seemed to be not the ball, but a bomb, and what was hit seemed to be not the basket, but the last belief of the Nets players.

The Nets completely collapsed!There is no hope of a comeback!

In the remaining 3 minutes of overtime, the Nets did not score in a sports game, and only relied on Mourning's rush to cause a foul and made two free throws to score two points.

The Trail Blazers didn't have anyone else to score. They couldn't make a long-range shot, and the Nets team shrunk when attacking the basket. Only Liu Xiu scored a goal. Although after hitting an iron, the bonus effect of 'Mai Mang' has ended Already, however, with a clear lead to seal the victory, he relaxed and hit a top-arc pick-and-roll [-]-pointer.

At this point in the game, the Nets' defense became less and less distracted. People without the ball collectively shrank to close range. Liu Xiu used the cover to shoot three-pointers and no one came out to defend the pick-and-roll. The current state of the Nets; on the other hand, although the Trail Blazers just can't make shots on the offensive end, they can't continue to widen the point difference and completely lock the game. Defense requires hard work and hard work. From Payton to McDyess, from No. 1 to No. 5, everyone is working hard to defend, so as not to let the Nets' chance in case become a reality.

The cheers and boos of the Nets fans at the scene gradually quieted down as the overtime progressed.

The cheers of less than 48 Trail Blazers fans who were submerged in the 1000 minutes of regular time overwhelmed the [-] Nets fans at this moment!Gradually, the fans who watched the excitement and the fans who didn't have much sense of identity with the Nets and just supported the local team, also started to cheer.

The scenes on the benches of the two teams were also completely different. The Nets were lifeless, and some players even hugged their heads and wept.

The Trail Blazers bench was cheering and celebrating wildly!
At 9:06:44 in the evening, Liu Xiu grabbed the 8th rebound of the game. With 6 seconds left, he stopped advancing and protected the ball. No one from the Nets rushed to grab it.

A few seconds passed quickly, and the long whistle sounded on time for the end of the game. Liu Xiu roared and threw the ball heavily into the air.

107 to 99, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nets by 8 points, a big score of 4 to 1, defeated the Nets, and won the championship!
The moment the whistle blew, hundreds of Trail Blazers fans on the scene started screaming and cheering frantically, and the Nets fans left the field silently. The same crazy teammates celebrated together.

When Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound, many Nets players walked or ran directly to the player tunnel, not wanting to see the cruelest scene.

The young players of the Trail Blazers only care about being happy, their age is only happy after achievement, and they think the same-our glory has just begun!
Veterans are very different. Payton has mixed feelings. McDyess, who has played for 10 years but only turned 31 in the summer and has several years of career, is in a completely different mood from Payton. McDyess is excited to share with him. The teammates celebrated, while Payton watched the big 4-1 score on the big screen, and watched their Trail Blazers logo mark the victory. sit on the floor.

The pain caused by the close contact between the buttocks and the floor finally made Payton wake up, ready to get up and join the celebration of his teammates. At this moment, he was the happiest one.

Just as he was about to get up on the floor, a hand was stretched out in front of him.

Warden!
Peyton was distracted again for a moment, but he immediately reacted and pulled Liu Xiu to stand up.

Liu Xiu said: "Congratulations, you have won the championship."

Payton didn't have a bad mouth at this time, and said: "Congratulations to you too, our MVP!"

...

By the time the Trail Blazers players celebrated and David Stern walked onto the court, most of the fans had already left.

From a certain point of view, compared with G3, the number of fans who agree with the Nets is much larger.

The Trail Blazers players lined up and stood up. David Stern looked at Liu Xiu, who was standing at the front to receive the award, with a smile on his face, his smile became a chrysanthemum, and his facial features were close together. It's a little strange to go together, where is the owner of the Trail Blazers who generates electricity for love?
This fanatical fan, who pays tens of millions of dollars in luxury taxes every year for the championship, did not come to watch the game when he was leading 3 to 1 and the warden yelled at him to win 5 games. David Stern felt incredible .

But it doesn't matter!

The awards ceremony began, and David Stern suppressed his joy and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the team that won the NBA championship in the 2004-2005 season is the Portland Trail Blazers!"

Liu Xiu did his part, took the championship trophy from David Stern, held it high, and enjoyed the cheers from the away fans, onlookers, newly conquered passer-by fans, and the teammates behind him the sound of congratulations.

Liu Xiu handed over the trophy to Randolph, and everyone took turns to accept the official photographer's shooting.

Soon, the last award of the season will be announced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Most Valuable Player of the 2004-2005 NBA Finals is..."

David Stern opened the envelope and read out the unsuspecting name: "The warden of the Trail Blazers, Jess Liu, Liu Xiu!"

David Stern has obviously practiced. Compared with when Liu Xiu's name was pronounced in the draft two years ago, his tone is much more normal.

没有什么意外，刘秀今晚拿到了28分8板10助攻2抢断，这次总决赛总得分150分、50板、51助攻，场均算下来，是30分10板10.2助攻，场均三双！
Liu Xiu was also stunned when he saw this statistic. In fact, he didn’t play that comprehensively in the finals. The situation in G1 and G2 was special, and the opponent was chaotic. He took the opportunity to score points and performed well, but the opponent returned to normal in G3 , After the defense played its due level, he only got 5 assists.

But in G4 and G5, the number of assists was brought up again. Four of Liu Xiu’s 4 assists in G13 were passed to Payton, and 4 were passed to McDyess. Tonight’s 3 assists are also half of his It doesn't matter much to organize the offense, it's just that the teammates catch up and shoot well.

However, luck is also a part of strength. He is already part of the team. His teammates performed well, so he should be helped.

Relying on everyone's concerted efforts, Liu Xiu scored the first triple-double in the finals in NBA history!Unprecedented performance!Not even a magician has done it!
Seeing Liu Xiu holding the O'Brien Cup in one hand and the FMVP trophy in the other, Randolph was extremely envious...

After the award ceremony, David Stern and Liu Xiu hugged and congratulated, then left the scene and handed the spotlight to the players who won the championship without stealing the scene.

The American Cable Sports reporter who got the interview opportunity after this year's awards ceremony came to Liu Xiu immediately and asked, "Warden, congratulations on winning the championship and becoming the new FMVP... You seem to be distracted Now, can you tell me what you're thinking?"

Liu Xiu came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to go home quickly and share my happiness with my family and fans. I really want to see the streets of Portland. The roses should be in full bloom too..."
