1084. The most legendary champion!(1/4)
On May 5th, at 8 pm, the second game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks started at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland.
The Mavericks, playing away from home, gave the Trail Blazers a powerful first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 11 points 28-17 in the single quarter.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers exploded and beat the Mavericks 34-26, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.
But after returning from the halftime break, the Mavericks gave the Trail Blazers a 35-27 quarter score, once again widening the point difference to 11 points.
In the final quarter, the rhythm of the two teams slowed down and turned into defense + star singles. Liu Xiu and Anthony performed well in singles, but Nowitzki and Terry held it back head-on!
The score was 24 to 22 in the final quarter. Although the Trail Blazers took the initiative with Liu Xiu and Anthony, they failed to defeat Nowitzki and Terry.
102 to 111, the Trail Blazers lost in G2, and the score was 1 to 1!
After winning the game, Carlisle and Nowitzki embraced and celebrated, extremely excited.
The shadow of a famous tree, the 'God of G6' is so prestigious. Carlisle emphasized after G1 that they only have two ways to win, one is 4 to 1 and the other is 4 to 3.
4 to 1, you have to win 4 games in a row and directly eliminate the Trail Blazers after losing in G1.
This difficulty is even greater than sweeping.
The other is to win 3 of the first 5 games and enter G6 with a big lead to have a greater chance of winning.
Admitting that he is afraid of the performance of Warden G6, Carlisle is not trying to boost others' ambitions, but Warden is already recognized as the best in active service. Era-level superstars such as Big Shark, Stone Buddha, and Great God... have all been surpassed.
, this is called deterrence and dominance.

On May 10, the series between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks continued at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
This time it was the Mavericks who took the initiative at the start, leading 30-28 in the first quarter. Nowitzki made 4 of 6 shots and scored 9 points and 2 rebounds.
The Mavericks' style of play has changed. They no longer use the Silver Horn King as the main force in the third and fourth quarters as before, but let the Silver Horn King attack from the beginning.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks, who improved their defense, scored 25-22, taking a 5-point lead at halftime!

hit.
Killer!
Liu Xiu scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists tonight, Ray Allen had 24 points, Anthony had 17 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, Bosh had 16 points, Outlaws came off the bench and scored 14 points, Gasol had 7 points and 8 rebounds.
3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block...
111 to 109, the Trail Blazers won two consecutive away games, with a big score of 3 to 1 and entering the match point!
Liu Xiu scored a triple-double in two consecutive games, raising the number of triple-doubles in his career to 18 in the playoffs!
There is still a big gap between Magic's 30 games, but Kidd, who is currently in second place, is already 7 games ahead.
At Kidd's age, he is not a threat to him. On the contrary, James, who has already scored 9 triple-doubles in the playoffs, is a greater threat.
The gap of 9 times is very likely for James to catch up in one season. For example, from the first round to now, James has already scored 3 triple-doubles.
The year in which Liu Xiu had the most triple-doubles in the playoffs was only 4 times.
However, Liu Xiu didn't take it too seriously when he heard Brother Dong talk about it. He averaged a triple-double per game, so he has no obsession with it now.
It is the same concept as 'enrichment'.
Compared with data, winning is his pursuit. Anyway, the data is not much different...
On the 13th, at the Portland Rose Garden Arena, the Trail Blazers returned home for a match point battle with the Mavericks.
After the 2 hours and 28 minutes of the game, Liu Xiu scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals, Anthony had 21 points, Ray Allen had 19 points, Bosh had 13 points, Gasol had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, Hill had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

, Barea had 9 points, Chandler had 8 points...The Mavericks team scored 111 points.
111 to 107, 6 players of the Mavericks scored in double figures, narrowly beating the Trail Blazers by 4 points, chasing the big score to 2 to 3!
This time, the Mavericks relied not on Kidd or Terry, two of the most dominant players in the playoffs in the past two years, but on the concerted efforts of the entire team.
Veteran Peja scored the second-highest score in the Mavericks team!
Liu Xiu scored a triple-double for the third consecutive game, bringing his career playoff triple-doubles to 19, but unfortunately failed to win.
But the Mavericks' victory pushed their series to a climax!
Can the title of Warden ‘God of G6’ be continued?
Can the Mavericks end Warden's legendary performance in Game 6?
If the opponent were to change, even if it was the Spurs, the media would probably hype the Trail Blazers to advance in 6 games.
But the opponent is the Mavericks, who were invincible in the playoffs last season and are in super strong form this season!
At 8:30 pm on May 15th, Game 6 of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks started at the American Airlines Center in Dallas!

Leading advantage.
The Mavericks' performance tonight reminded people of last year's scene when they lightly tortured Shi Fo in the second round, defeated the greats in the Western Conference Finals, and defeated the Little Emperor in the finals.
powerful!
The performance of the Mavericks was extremely strong!
Their performance tonight will probably be beaten by the other six teams that entered the second round.
However, the Trail Blazers held on!
Even though the Mavericks fought like that, the Trail Blazers were still only 5 points behind.
Because after the first three quarters, Liu Xiu made 6 of 8 three-pointers, plus 3 of 6 mid-range shots, scored on two counterattacks, and made 7 free throws... He played 32 minutes in the three quarters and scored 35 points and 8
5 assists on the board!

Harvest!

After the speed upgrade was completed, he turned off the system screen and celebrated the victory with his teammates.
