247. The Rose Garden Massacre(1/2)
He had 4 points and 7 assists in the first quarter, and finished the half with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. During halftime, the coach wanted Warden to score a triple-double on his debut... but was rejected by the chief assistant coach.
The players on the opposite side were already irritable, and Kevin Pritchar was really afraid that the players on the opposite side would eventually be beaten by the warden.
It doesn't matter to the head assistant if the opposing player gets beaten.
What if their warden is banned?
As a result, the coach was regretful, the warden was speechless, and the Flying Squirrel and Derek Anderson happily shared all the playing time in the second half.
Trailing by 24 points at halftime, the Grizzlies players didn't feel they had the ability to come back.
When morale was declining, no player on the Grizzlies team could stand up and perform strongly.
There is no player with leadership qualities and rich experience to help the core players adjust their mental state. During the halftime break, no one on the Grizzlies stepped up to do these things.
On the contrary, Wells, who has a bad temper and sensitive mind, felt the "disdain" from his teammates. In fact, they didn't think he was not good enough. It was just that someone sighed, "The Warden should have been our player." Wells said
I almost got into a fight with this teammate.
Liu Xiu didn't play in the second half, and the Grizzlies players just wanted to end the game as soon as possible.
Then the problem comes...
The confrontation has started, and the Trail Blazers will not let up. They are very sensitive to being overturned.
As a result, the Grizzlies only scored 13 points in the third quarter! The shooting percentage of 5 of 18 in a single quarter was too bad to look at.
The Grizzlies didn't play well offensively and lost momentum on the defensive end. The Trail Blazers scored 28 points in a single quarter!
After three quarters, the score was 93 to 54, and the point difference reached 39 points.
This is not over yet. At 11 minutes and 28 seconds of the final quarter, Earl Watson missed a three-pointer. The Grizzlies scored only 65 points at this time and only scored 11 points in the final quarter! And the Trail Blazers had already scored.
It’s 120 points!
In these 11 and a half minutes, the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies scored 27 to 11!
It seemed that this time was the last attack. The little flying squirrel had no intention of launching an attack. It wasted time. When there were 4 seconds left, he casually threw a ball more than one meter away from the three-point line on the left side of the top arc.
.
Both sides felt there was no problem, and the Grizzlies players couldn't say that asking the other side to commit a 24-second violation at this time was wrong.
This goal is scored!
The point difference has long been widened, with more than 30 points after three quarters. Players from the two teams and the fans at the scene no longer care about the point difference.
The Grizzlies players wanted to leave quickly, while the Trail Blazers players and the fans were ready to enjoy the victory... After the little flying squirrel made the ball, a data list was posted on the big screen.
Ranking of the largest point differential in a single game in the NBA playoffs.
First place, in G3 of the 1973 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers played against the Warriors, the score was 126 to 70, and the Lakers slaughtered the Warriors with 56 points.
Second place, in G1 of the first round in 1986, the Lakers played against the Spurs, the score was 135 to 88, and the Lakers slaughtered the Spurs with 47 points.
After displaying these two data, the names dropped one place each.
The new largest point difference in history is here!
The Trail Blazers currently lead the Grizzlies by 58 points!
When Liu Xiu saw this difference, he called me "Hey!" He didn't pay attention at all!
Looking at the little flying squirrel, he didn't know what was going on, so he just threw it when the time came, and the difference was exactly 58 points!
The Grizzlies quickly tried to grab one, but there was not much time left. White Chocolate quickly missed a long two-pointer. The final whistle sounded and the score was fixed, 123 to 65!
Relying on the Flying Squirrel's 27 points and 5 assists, Harrington's 13 points and 7 assists, the Outlaws and Miles both scored 12 points, Randolph had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists... The Trail Blazers scored 58 points.
The point difference slaughtered the Grizzlies, setting a new record for the largest point difference in the playoffs in NBA history!
…
58 Miserable Eucalyptus was born!
Immediately after the final whistle sounded, reporters rushed to... the Trail Blazers bench.
Liu Xiugang stood up and was surrounded by reporters before he could applaud his teammates.
"Warden, you led the team to beat the Grizzlies by 58 points. Is this your revenge against the Grizzlies?"
"When I was substituted, the difference was only 24 points..."
Before Liu Xiu finished speaking, another reporter asked questions.
"Warden, you have been cheering for your teammates from the sidelines in the second half, hoping that they can widen the point difference even wider. Does the current 58-point point difference meet your requirements?"
"I just applauded from the sidelines..."
"Warden, that super fadeaway three-pointer when you led your teammates to start the massacre mode was great!"
"That ball was almost 24 seconds away..."
Once again, before Liu Xiu finished speaking, reporters rushed to ask new questions.
Well, Liu Xiu understood that these reporters would not give him a chance to express himself. The questions they asked were actually the answers they wanted.
Later, I stopped adding questions and used declarative sentences directly.
Liu Xiu gave up resistance and started answering questions that made reporters climax.
"Yes, this is what I want."
"Revenge is over? That's a good question. Have you forgotten that the playoffs have just begun?"
"Would you like to go to Memphis in the future? In fact, I like the environment there very much. I want to get a piece of land of my own to grow some of my favorite crops. It is not convenient here in Portland. I applied for a long time but didn't get it.
Response...but I will never join the Grizzlies, they hurt me and my wounds haven't healed yet."
"The resentment is so deep? Of course! This is just the beginning, their retribution will be me!"
…
…
"The Warden's Revenge"
"The Warden leads his team to slaughter the Grizzlies for 58 points"
"Rose Garden tragedy, the largest score difference in history"
"The Warden's Revenge Has Just Begun"
"The Grizzlies' Nightmare Era"
"..."

On the first match day of the playoffs this season, Liu Xiu stole all the limelight!
The series between the Pacers and the Celtics was nothing to watch. The gap in strength was huge. The Pacers easily defeated the Celtics 104-88. Tianzun’s new team scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 rebounds in their first playoff appearance.
Excellent performance with assists and 4 blocks.
But the favorites after the other two games should have been very high.
Rookie Wade scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game, and in the last attack, he hit the European step + dunk to kill the Hornets, leading the team to a narrow victory of 81-79.
The battle between the Lakers and the Kings should have been the center of attention, even higher than the series between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies.
The Kings may not see much improvement if they change their opponent. Internal strife continues, and disintegration in the new season is a foregone conclusion... But it is different if the opponent is the Lakers. The entire Kings team works together and leads the Lakers 73 to 72 after three quarters.
1 point!
But in the final quarter, Kobe scored 12 points and 3 assists, leading the team to a 31-25 score in the final quarter.
Although O'Neal only made 6 of 16 shots tonight due to the crazy blockage of Divac, Brad Miller, and Webb, and only scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, Kobe had 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, and Malone had 13 points. With 10 rebounds, Fisher and Payton both scored 14 points, and the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings 104-97.
In this game, people seemed to see the so-called most gorgeous team in the league again. Although the Kings lost, people saw the hope of the Kings getting back on their feet.
The Lakers' F4 also showed its strength. When all four superstars were healthy, they showed super dominance.
However, almost all sports media headlines were given to Liu Xiu!
The most popular discussion topic on major sports forums and sports portals is Liu Xiu!
The next morning, as the newspaper sent the news that the Grizzlies were defeated by Liu Xiu by 58 points to sports fans who did not like the Internet and had not seen the news since they went to bed early last night, the influence further expanded!
Liu Xiu looked at the headlines of the sports newspapers that his sister had compiled in advance while preparing breakfast... He had expected it.
He argued that this had little to do with him. He only had 13 points and 10 assists, and he only played half of the game, but there was no news report.
Everything he said later when he let himself go was reported.
But seeing these news...he is happy!
The biggest score difference in history! He was not the one who was slaughtered, so why was he unhappy?
As for whether this will offend his opponent...is the warden still afraid of offending his opponent?
This opponent is still the Grizzlies. He slaughters the opponent and offends the opponent. His warden's excitement index doubles!
Liu Xiu noticed something that was not popular but he was very curious about. Some media mentioned in the news that the Trail Blazers won 58 games in the regular season this year and slaughtered their opponents by 58 points in the first game of the playoffs. Liu Xiu scored 62 points in that game against Kobe Bryant. Scored 58 points...
