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

An explosion of mentality visible to the naked eye.

Kidd didn't feel like leading his teammates for a while. He understood how the Spurs felt. He didn't know how strong the Spurs players must be mentally to withstand being beaten by Liu Xiu many times at critical moments.

Only after being hit like this can we chase the big score from 1 to 3 to 3 to 3 for the tiebreaker.

There were only a few minutes of rest time. McGrady's mentality exploded. Kidd stood aside and said nothing. Seeing that overtime was about to begin, Nets coach Lawrence Frank could only make tactical adjustments by himself.

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

The Trail Blazers made personnel adjustments. Payton, Kwame Brown, and Outlaw were replaced. Liu Xiu and McDyess continued to play, and the lineup focused on light defense came on.

When the referee blew the whistle to notify the players of both teams to come on the court, Kidd reacted and quickly greeted his teammates to cheer them up.

Everyone on the team can have an explosive mentality, but he can't! His loss in the last game was directly related to his mental explosion after he realized that his coaching ability was not that good.

However, even if Kidd came to his senses, he just stood there with a cold expression and McGrady smashed the towel, which had a huge impact on 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 are not like Kidd and Tracy McGrady who are carrying such great pressure.

.

But now the two of them have passed their negative emotions on to their teammates!

Moreover, McGrady did not have Kidd's comfort, and his mood was not adjusted well when he came on the court.

After the overtime started, Kwame Brown won the jump ball. Liu Xiu quickly cut in to receive Payton's long pass and went straight to the basket with a one-handed dunk to score two points. McGrady's flank defense was very poor!

When the Nets attack, McGrady, when the score is behind, as long as he is in a hurry, he has only one choice... face the defense and shoot a three-pointer!

Known as a 'talent that only appears once in ten years', Tracy McGrady's physical fitness is indeed impressive. He has played for 44 minutes, and the Outlaws still can't hit the ball on pull-up shots, but! The Outlaws have given enough.

Interference, Tracy 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, who took the ball and took a step to slam the ball into the basket with one hand.

Caused a foul on Richard Jefferson.

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

With Kwame Brown making a steady free throw, 102 to 97, the Trail Blazers' lead came to 5 points!

The Nets collapsed!

…

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

But after the regular time, he made a mistake and failed to gather his emotions and lead his teammates immediately. 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, his teammates woke up and Kidd's lead was

It started to have an effect, and teamwork was played, but Richard Jefferson on the wing was helpless and caught the ball for a three-pointer.

Although Tracy McGrady and Richard Jefferson's cooperative defense interfered with Liu Xiu's forced shot after the pick-and-roll, interrupting Liu Xiu's "Long Time in Prison", the bonus effect of the talent "Maimang" was temporarily

It was over, but then Kwame Brown pinned the ball thrown by Mourning on the backboard with a big shot by Kwame Brown. Payton received the pass from Kwame Brown to promote the counterattack. Liu Xiu finally

Rush up, counterattack without the ball, ultimate speed 99!

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

104 to 97, the score difference came to 7 points!

This time, it seemed that what Liu Xiu hit was not a ball, but a bomb, and what was hit was not the basket, but the last belief of the Nets players.

The Nets are completely ruined! Even the hope of a comeback is gone!

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

No one else from the Trail Blazers scored. They failed to score long-range shots. When attacking the basket, the Nets team shrunk. Only Liu Xiu scored a goal. Although after hitting an iron, the bonus effect of 'Maimang' was over.

However, after gaining a clear lead and sealing the victory, he relaxed and hit a top-curve pick-and-roll three-pointer.

At this point in the game, the Nets' defense became more and more careless. Those who were defending without the ball collectively shrank to close range. Liu Xiu took advantage of the screen to shoot a three-pointer and no one came out to defend the pick-and-roll. This is a good illustration of the Nets' defense.

The current state of the Nets; on the other hand, although the Trail Blazers can't make any shots on the offensive end and cannot continue to widen the point difference to completely lock the game, there is still the possibility of being eliminated, but it is only possible, and their

We need to work harder and harder on defense. From Payton to McDyess, from position 1 to position 5, everyone is working hard to defend and prevent the Nets' rare chance from becoming a reality.

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

The cheers of less than 1,000 Trail Blazers fans who were drowned out during the 48 minutes of regular time overshadowed the 20,000 Nets fans at this moment! Gradually, the fans who were watching the excitement were not too interested in the Nets.

Fans who felt that they were just supporting the local team also started cheering.

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

The Trail Blazers bench was cheering wildly in celebration!

At 9:06:44 in the evening, Liu Xiu grabbed his 8th rebound of the game. With 6 seconds left, he stopped pushing and protected the ball. No one from the Nets team rushed to grab it.

A few seconds passed quickly, and the long whistle sounded on time to end 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, with a big score of 4 to 1, defeated the Nets and won the championship!

The moment the whistle sounded, hundreds of Trail Blazers fans at the scene began to scream and cheer crazily. Nets fans left the court silently. Trail Blazers players on the sidelines rushed into the court immediately and started talking to the court.

The equally crazy teammates celebrated together.

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

The young players of the Trail Blazers only care about being happy, and their age is only happy after achieving achievements. Their thoughts are the same - our glory has just begun!

The veteran is very different. Payton has mixed feelings. Although he has been playing for 10 years, McDyess, who only turned 31 in the summer and has several years of career ahead of him, is in a completely different mood than Payton. McDyess is excited and excited.

His teammates celebrated, while Payton looked at the big score of 4-1 on the big screen and the Trail Blazers logo that said victory. He stayed there for a few seconds, then smiled, and finally fell down as if he had lost all strength.

Sit on the ground.

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

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

Warden!

Payton was distracted for a moment, but he immediately reacted and pulled Liu Xiu to stand up.

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

Payton no longer had a bad mouth at this time and said: "Congratulations to you too, our MVP!"

…

The Trail Blazers players celebrated the end, and when David Stern walked onto the court, most of the fans had already left.

From a certain perspective, when comparing G3, the number of live fans who agree with the Nets is much larger.

The Trail Blazers players lined up and stood in line. David Stern looked at Liu Xiu who was standing at the front to receive the award. A smile appeared on his face. His smile turned into a chrysanthemum, and his facial features almost touched each other.

We went there together, and it was a bit strange. Where is the owner of the Trail Blazers who works for love?

This fanatical fan who pays tens of millions of dollars in luxury taxes every year to win the championship did not come to watch the game when he was leading 3 to 1 and the warden shouted to win in 5 games. David Stern felt it was incredible.

.

But that's not important!

The award 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 and took the championship trophy from David Stern. He held it high and enjoyed the cheers of the away fans, onlookers, newly conquered passerby fans, and the teammates behind him.

of celebration.

Liu Xiu handed the trophy to Randolph who was standing aside, and everyone took turns being photographed by the official photographer.

Soon, the last award of the season was announced.

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

David Stern opened the envelope and read out the unsuspicious name: "Warden of the Trail Blazers, Jace Liu, Liu Xiu!"

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

There is no surprise. Liu Xiu scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals tonight. This time in the finals, he scored a total of 150 points, 50 rebounds, and 51 assists. Calculated per game, he averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 10.2 assists, averaging a triple-double!

Liu Xiu was shocked when he saw this data. In fact, his performance in the finals was not that comprehensive. The situation in G1 and G2 was special. The opponent was in chaos. He took the opportunity to score points and performed well, but in G3 the opponent returned to normal.

, after the defense performed as it should, he only got 5 assists.

But in G4 and G5, the number of assists came up again. In G4, 4 of Liu Xiu’s 13 assists were passed to Payton, and 3 of them were passed to McDyess. Half of the 10 assists tonight were with his

It doesn't matter much if you organize the offense, it's just that your teammates respond well and shoot well.

However, luck is also a part of strength. He is already part of the team. If his teammates perform well, he deserves help.

Relying on everyone's concerted efforts, Liu Xiu averaged a triple-double in the first finals in NBA history! An unprecedented performance! Not even the Magic 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 awards, David Stern and Liu Xiu hugged, congratulated each other, and then left the scene, leaving the spotlight to the players who won the championship without stealing the show.

A reporter from American Cable Sports who got an interview opportunity after this year's award ceremony came to Liu Xiu immediately and asked: "Warden, congratulations on winning the championship and becoming the new FMVP... You seem to be distracted.

Yes, can you tell me what you are thinking?"

Liu Xiu came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "I didn't think 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, those

The roses should be in full bloom..."
