In the past 5 games, the Trail Blazers have allowed a shockingly low average of points per game!

The Lakers were definitely not as easy to defend against as their previous opponents, but the Trail Blazers' suddenly improved defense still caught the Lakers off guard in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, although Kobe Bryant scored 8 points on 4 of 9 shots, the Lakers only scored 16 points!

As for the Trail Blazers, after Liu Xiu started the game, he shot 5 of 8 from the field, including 1 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 11 points in a single quarter without any free throws!

In addition to Kwame Brown's 4 points, Randolph's 2 points, Hill's 2 points, Korver and Ray Allen each scored a three-pointer, the Trail Blazers scored 25 points in the first quarter, leading the Lakers.

Team 9 points!

The Lakers had problems on the offensive end, so they have been looking for ways to improve their offense, which is why Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' situation was still bad. Zen Master couldn't think of a way for a while. Deron and Kobe were forced to take turns in singles in the second quarter, and their performance could only be described as average.

The Trail Blazers made timely adjustments and surged in the second quarter!

Liu Xiu scored 8 points, Outlaw 7 points, Ray Allen 10 points, Randolph 2 points, Diaw 2 points, Gasol scored 4 points in two mid-range shots, and even Hill's three points from the corner

All the points were scored... he scored 36 points in a single quarter and limited the Lakers' scoring to 22 points.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 23 points, 61-38!

All the fans at the scene went crazy!

The TV commentators were all screaming and yelling.

This gap was as big as the NCAA finals, and it was beyond everyone's expectations!

Even the fans of the Trail Blazers, who have won 14 consecutive games, did not expect that the game would end like this. They were already prepared for the team to fight until the last moment, and they were ready to cheer or boo until the last moment.

As a result, the game was ruined at halftime!

But in the third quarter, the situation suddenly turned.

After returning from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers players were a little distracted, including Liu Xiu.

Leading by 23 points at halftime, 73 wins seemed to be in hand, and anyone else would be affected.

They have all started thinking about how to show off in post-match interviews.

For a moment, they felt like someone who had just written a note and just wanted to imitate the warden and yell - who else!

Then, their offensive performance declined in the third quarter. Liu Xiu and Randolph each scored 7 points, but the others only scored 8 points combined, and only 22 points in a single quarter!

For the Lakers, the overall offensive performance also collapsed. Wang Zhizhi scored 4 points, Odom made one of two free throws and scored 1 point, and Deron only scored 5 points. No one else scored, but Wang Zhizhi scored 1 point in a single quarter.

6 assists! 5 of them went to Kobe!

Kobe made 7 of 11 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 18 points!

With a single quarter score of 28 to 22, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 17 points at the end of three quarters!

This gave the Lakers hope, and Kobe Bryant took a shot in the third quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Lakers scored 20-11 in the first half of the quarter. When the official timeout entered, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 8 points!

The Trail Blazers were stunned and the fans at the scene were also stunned.

Just after reaching the top, I was suddenly fucked down. It felt like a roller coaster.

After the official timeout came back, Ariza stole Liu Xiu and passed it back to Kobe during the counterattack. Kobe caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, which increased his score in this quarter to 10 points and helped the Lakers narrow the point difference to 5 points.

It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, and the fans at the scene were trying to cheer them on.

Panic, Trail Blazers fans really panic!

Liu Xiu was extremely upset during the official suspension.

Although the point difference was reduced to 17 points at the end of three quarters, they did not become too vigilant. After all, Kobe played so well in the third quarter and the Lakers only narrowed the point difference by 6 points.

Who knew that in the final quarter, Kobe had 7 points and 2 assists in the first half, coupled with the teamwork of Deron, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi, they could really catch up with the score.

But after the official timeout came back, he had already re-entered the game and put aside the emotions that affected the game.

Even if he was intercepted and Kobe made a chasing three-pointer, he is still calm now.

He knew there was no use regretting, he could only make the damn ball!

When he came to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through. Facing Odom's change of defense, Liu Xiuqiang broke into the close range and made a throw off the board...hit!

Moreover, after he threw the ball, his arm was slapped by Odom, and the referee's whistle sounded in time. His goal was valid this time, and there was an additional penalty!

Standing on the free throw line, Liu Xiu adjusted for several seconds. The Lakers were complaining. Liu Xiucai threw the ball amidst the referee's urging...hit!

The score difference comes to 8 points!

Immediately after Kobe passed the basket, Wang Zhizhi caught the ball and hit a throw.

Looking back, Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown used a pick-and-roll, took a step forward and hit a three-pointer from more than half a meter away from the three-point line.

Kobe Bryant hit a high mid-range shot after receiving a baseline pass from Deron, Liu Xiu passed the ball to the wing, and Ray Allen took the ball and hit a long two-pointer... After scoring two goals in a row, Liu Xiu helped the team regroup, and his teammates also began to make steady progress.

The ball is up!

It didn't help that the Trail Blazers were crushed, even if Kobe almost chewed up his collar to pieces, he could only lead the team and continue to charge wildly!

From 9 minutes and 34 seconds to 11 minutes and 30 seconds of the last quarter, the Lakers scored another 8 points in less than two minutes, 5 of which were scored by Kobe.

But during this period, the Trail Blazers also scored 7 points, and there is still an 8-point point difference! The Lakers trailed 101 to 109!

Zen Master signaled the players to initiate foul tactics, and the foul was committed on Randolph.

Randolph was unlucky and made two free throws, but Liu Xiu squeezed into the basket from the blockage of Wang Zhizhi and Kobe. Randolph's second free throw bounced high, and Liu Xiu jumped on the spot and pointed the ball back to the basket.

!

111 to 101, the Trail Blazers' lead reached 10 points again!

The Zen Master, who had stood up to direct the game at the last moment, sat down in despair... on the floor.

It's still a bit far across the bench.

Zen Master was helped up by the players and coaching staff who quickly gathered around him. He didn't even call a timeout. There was nothing he could do.

The warden is so tough!

After being beaten 51 to 33 in one and a half quarters of the second half, that guy was still able to get tough!

Back then, those players should have been used to replace Warden, who was just selected with the 13th overall pick.

Bastard logo man, give me back my dynasty!

In the Lakers' last attack, Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer. His score in the single quarter increased to 20 points, and the Lakers scored 38 points in the single quarter.

However, the score displayed by the technical desk - 104 to 111, there is still a 7-point difference!

Liu Xiu pushed forward after receiving the serve, and Kobe clapped his hands in the backcourt to tell his teammates to foul quickly. The reason why he didn't do it by himself was because he had already committed five fouls after fouling Randolph just now.

But his teammates didn't react for a while... By the time Kobe was so angry that he rushed forward to hug Liu Xiu, there were only 8 seconds left.

Kobe was sent off for 6 fouls, Liu Xiu went to the free throw line!

"MVP...MVP...MVP..."

Kobe walked to the bench and was about to sit down and cover his head with a towel. When he heard the unanimous shouts of "MVP", he turned and walked towards the tunnel.

Before entering the dim tunnel, Kobe heard the explosive cheers and screams. He looked back and saw Liu Xiu raised his hands high after making the first free throw, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

Without continuing to watch, Kobe walked into the tunnel. He wanted to find a dark, quiet place where no one would disturb him to lick his wounds.

8 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the second quarter, 18 points in the third quarter, 20 points in the fourth quarter... Kobe made 19 of 37 shots in a single game, including 5 of 12 three-pointers, plus 12 of 14 free throws, scoring 55

Scored 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, defeated!

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu scored the second free throw.

With a few seconds left, the Lakers rushed to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer. After Randolph got the rebound, the Lakers stopped fouling and there were only 3.6 seconds left.

Soon, the long whistle sounded, and the 20,000 fans at the scene cheered wildly again!

Liu Xiu scored 11 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the second quarter, 6 points in the third quarter, and 16 points in the final quarter... He made 14 of 30 shots in a single game, including 6 of 12 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws.

41 points, not as many as Kobe, but he still has 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks!

The tip-in that wiped out the Lakers' last hope was his 10th rebound of the game!

The score was 29 to 38 in the final quarter. The Trail Blazers held on to win and narrowly defeated the Lakers 113 to 104. They won 15 consecutive victories and improved their record to 73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the Bulls' historical record of 72 wins and 10 losses!

The moment the final whistle sounded, reporters poured into the court and surrounded every Trail Blazers player.

Some journalists who took advantage of the situation ran into the visiting team's tunnel, but the door was locked. If it weren't for the help of the staff, no Lakers players who were returning to the locker room could get in.

On Liu Xiu's side, after listening to the reporters asking a lot of questions, he had completely forgotten how to act cool and how to deal with the media.

He saw Anne Hathaway holding flowers grown at home on the sidelines, and thought... "The roses will bloom again!"
