252. The warmest man - the warden (18/23(1/2)
After the final whistle sounded, there were only a few hundred Trail Blazers fans in FedEx Arena shouting "Warden" excitedly.
There was also the sound of the Trail Blazers players celebrating.
Grizzlies fans were unusually quiet, and Grizzlies players left silently.
0 to 3!
This represents the Grizzlies' first playoff journey in team history, which is about to come to an end.
Extreme 4-3 comeback?
The first three quarters tonight were like this, and they could be overturned by the rookie on the opposite side.
What kind of magical performance do they need to come back from 0 to 3 down?
Moreover, the opposite side is the Trail Blazers!
Anyone with a little brain knows that the Trail Blazers are the opponent least likely to underestimate their opponent at 3-0.
After the Mavericks led 3-0 in the first round last year, they must have been careless and underestimating the opponent, which is why they gave the Trail Blazers so many opportunities.
When it comes to the Trail Blazers themselves, it is impossible to underestimate the enemy.
Moreover, the Warden on the opposite side, the Grizzlies have had the Warden for less than a day, how much they hate them!
With a 2-0 lead, everyone remained focused and calm. When the opportunity was bad, they would act as a supporting role. When the opportunity came, they would catch the Grizzlies and beat them to death!
Watching Liu Xiu being interviewed after the celebration, Grizzlies fans' emotions were unprecedentedly exciting and complicated.
Before, Grizzlies fans were very determined that we wanted to be here. Now, we have enough talent, we need immediate combat capability, and we need to convert talent into record immediately. There is no problem in trading a rookie for a top-notch swingman at positions 2 to 4.
We have won 50 times!
Now, Grizzlies fans have discovered that their talent alone is stronger than the immediate combat ability you have been thinking about!
If the Warden were theirs, what would be the situation now? The lineup structure of their Grizzlies team is no worse than that of the Trail Blazers!
…
The Trail Blazers reversed the Grizzlies away game and took a 3-0 lead. After the game report came out, people were not surprised.
The Grizzlies were beaten by 58 points in a single game, which means the Trail Blazers still maintain the respect they deserve for their opponents. Others have long regarded the Grizzlies as a laughing stock.
Even if the Grizzlies will make a comeback when they return home, not many people think the Grizzlies have a chance to make a comeback.
The Grizzlies led for a long time, and the Trail Blazers made a comeback, but it was difficult for people to pay attention.
but!
Liu Xiu got a triple-double! In his rookie season, he got a triple-double in the playoffs!
The last rookie to get a triple-double in the playoffs was nicknamed Magic!
And Liu Xiu's 15 points and 7 assists in the last quarter made everyone who saw it have their first reaction to curse.
A die-hard Warden fan posted on major portals and forums analyzing Warden’s 15 points and 7 assists in the final quarter. The 7 assists were really nothing to look at, and 4 of them were after Liu Xiu was unreasonably flanked.
The ball was thrown in by a teammate.
But among those 15 points, 8 of them were scored. Basketball fans who read the analysis believed that these balls were talented balls!
And unlike the kind of talent that can jump high and have easy throws, these 8 points were obtained by relying on brains and talent in terms of golf intelligence.
You can only become so good by relying on your intelligence and brains. Work hard on your basic skills and keep up with your skills...and so on!
The fans who thought about this suddenly remembered that the warden of the prison team is notoriously lazy.
It is because of laziness that his talent is more widely known!
But now that the Trail Blazers have won, 3-0, Warden has just become the first player in 23 years to get a triple-double in the playoffs in his rookie season, and no one is paying attention to the topic of criticizing Liu Xiuzan.
.
Mocking the Grizzlies and mocking the CEO award for the man with the logo are the topics that can get traffic on websites and forums, and win ratings on TV shows or news.
But not everyone likes to add insult to injury.
In an interview, the warden gave his opponent heartwarming comfort:
"My resentment towards the Grizzlies has all dissipated, and I hope Grizzlies fans and people in the front office don't need to pay too much attention to this matter.
After all, although eyes are good things, not everyone has them, and it is normal for them to misjudge their eyes.
There is a saying in our country: Don’t bully young people into poverty.
The Grizzlies are just a new team that has been established less than 10 years ago. Grizzlies fans should not be so sad because of the difficulties they are facing now.
You will face many hardships in the future, and if you can’t bear it now, what should you do in the future?”
ESPN titled the news "The Warden Comforts His Opponent." Fans who watched the interview video or written news could feel the Warden's full kindness.
As a bystander, I feel healed!
For a time, the ‘Warden Body’ spread on the Internet, among the small circle of basketball fans, and spread to other sports, and even to a wider area...
…
…
"We can't let up!"
"Who is that? Oh, you are so short, there is no one else except the little flying squirrel. In the last game, you missed two catch-and-shoot shots. There was a big gap at the free throw line. Why don't you practice hard?"
"You can't be lazy! You need to rest? The season is over and you have plenty of time to rest! Are you tired? You didn't perform well yesterday and only played 9 minutes in total. Why are you tired..."
"We don't have to think too much about our fans or the boss's income. Tomorrow, we will let the first round end!"
"..."
"..."
On the afternoon of the second day of Game 3 with the Grizzlies, Warden's voice kept ringing out from the visiting team's training ground at FedEx Arena.
Like Grizzlies fans, other fans also agree that the team least likely to be overturned when leading 3-0 is the Trail Blazers.
When this topic reached the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers' coaching staff and players also became more cautious.
If we really get overturned, not only losing the series, but losing two more games would be humiliating.
Liu Xiu is the most active...the one who urges his teammates.
This afternoon, the Trail Blazers only conducted 20 minutes of team offensive training and 20 minutes of team defensive training, and spent the rest of the time training independently.
Then there is the scene of the warden leading his teammates to train in a united and friendly manner.
Looking at the warden who got a battery-powered speaker from nowhere and whirring, his teammates were very unhappy that you asked us to train hard, and you actually sat down to eat ice cream!
But I think before the playoffs started, I practiced for two days and developed my fadeaway jump shot...
No one has the nerve to come out and argue with the warden. Moreover, what the warden says may occasionally be nonsense, but most of it is right to the point!
They couldn't refute with their mouths and... didn't dare to refute. The teammates could only send sincere greetings to the warden in their hearts.
Liu Xiu was in a happy mood as he watched his teammates prepare hard for the game and the series of prompts from the system!
…
All games ended on the night of April 27th, and the playoffs this season have been played for a week.
Each series has played 3 games.
There are two sets of series in the Eastern Conference that are 3-0. The first-place Pacers lead the Celtics 3-0, and the second-place Nets lead the Knicks 3-0.
Relying on Reid's outstanding performance of 30 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game, the Bucks defeated the Pistons 94-87 in G3 and tied the score to 1-2.
Billups is fully responsible for his disappointing performance of 6-for-20 shooting in Game 3, but with a player like him, you have to accept his occasional performance like this.
The Bucks only made 10 three-pointers as a team. Billups made 12 shots alone and led the team in 25 shots. He was teased for watching too many Grizzlies games. I heard that Larry Brown
I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.
Although the score was 2 to 1, not many people felt that the Bucks had the strength to defeat the Pistons. There was a certain possibility, but Ford was reimbursed at the end of the season and could not play in the playoffs, which caused the Bucks to lose the ability to counterattack.
At least 20% of the playoff strength will be lost.
With the same score of 2 to 1, the series between the Heat and the Hornets is regarded as the most intense series in the first round of this year.
The Hornets currently lead the Heat 2-1. Baron Davis, who averages 18.3 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, has a hard time with Wade, who averages 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.7 steals per game.
Due to Odom's continued distraction and Eddie Jones' continued degradation, Wade was forced to become the team's leader in the playoffs of his rookie season and was a bit immobile.
In the Western Conference, the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies are the only series with a big score of 3-0.
In the series between the Lakers and Kings, the Lakers easily defeated the Kings 98-84 in G2. After the Kings united and lost, they returned to the state of "boss taking turns". In G3, Peja made 13 hits.
7 three-pointers, winning a game against the Lakers 102-95, but judging from the fact that Webber was only defended by Malone and only shot 37% from the field, unless Peja breaks out every game and allows his teammates to attack with an extremely wide space,
Otherwise, the Kings have little hope.
The Nuggets trailed the Timberwolves 1-2 and won G3. Anthony scored 29 points, Andre Miller had 24 points and 8 assists, and Nene had 19 points... The Nuggets relied on the team's offensive explosion to win an upset 104-99.
One game against the Timberwolves.
The tightest series in the East is 4th and 5th, and the same goes for the West!
To be continued...
