The first game between the Trail Blazers and Lakers attracted much attention.

Compared with the Nuggets, the Lakers, which has a complete tactical system and better cooperation among its players, has a higher ceiling in the eyes of the media and experts.

After this game, the media gave similar evaluations - the Lakers have improved a lot compared to last season, while the Trail Blazers have seen a very obvious decline in strength compared to last season.

This has been evident in the regular season.

Raheem became more adaptable to the role of a substitute and became a better substitute, but he lost the star attributes of Ginobili, Odom and others.

The little flying squirrel dropped significantly last season, and dropped even more this year. It can occasionally get a C, but it's really only occasionally.

Except for these two people, the players outside the Trail Blazers' starting lineup are either capable but not top-notch players like Blake, or they are functional players. Compared with last season's lineup, they are indeed much worse.

The Outlaw in the starting lineup, Kwame Brown, is also a functional player, but he is more comprehensive when working with the three major stars, such as Kwame Brown's baseline mid-range shot and support, and the Outlaw's straight line.

Sudden division.

Based on the G1 point difference of only 3 points, the media made a judgment that the Trail Blazers might lose to the Lakers in the second round.

When Liu Xiu learned about this kind of public opinion from his family, he felt too familiar and used to it.

When they won 70 games last year, they would still have this kind of public opinion as long as they lost one game.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to take the initiative to receive external information during the playoff series. His mentality will be affected to some extent, and there will be almost no positive feedback.

However, this time, he quite agreed with what the media said about the situation of the Trail Blazers, because it was indeed the case.

After getting the honor, the human touch of the big dog must be as strong as possible. In one summer and half of the regular season, there was not a single transaction...

But Liu Xiu has become accustomed to and accepted this situation.

They are indeed not as strong as last season as a whole, but they are stronger!

If there is any difficulty standing in front of you, just break through it!

…

After a day's rest, the game day of the second game of the series arrived on May 10th.

At noon, the NBA officially announced the final award of the regular season - the best team.

All-Rookie Team.

First team: Roy and Foye of the Timberwolves, Gay of the Warriors, Bargnani of the SuperSonics, Garbajosa of the Raptors, and LaMarcus Aldridge of the Hornets.

Second team: Rondo of the Celtics, Terrence Thomas of the Bulls, Adam Morrison and Walter Herman of the Bobcats, and Millsap of the Trail Blazers were selected.

Teammates may win prizes, and Liu Xiu also came to the lounge to watch the live broadcast at noon.

Seeing this All-Rookie lineup, he didn't know how to describe this rookie class.

Anyway, Rondo is quite interesting, averaging 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. At first glance, he doesn’t look like much, but when you take a closer look, there is something very special about him.

All-Defensive Team.

First team: Hinrich, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Kwame Brown.

Second team: Liu Xiu, Raja Bell, Bowen, Artest, Camby.

Seeing this list, it was beyond Liu Xiu's expectation.

Hinrich and Kwame Brown went straight to the first defense!

Fortunately, Hinrich has the ability.

Kwame Brown...Liu Xiu thinks it's close.

But if you look closely, there is indeed no one in the center position!

Liu Xiu could understand why in the original time and space, Canby could get two first defenses by using data... As long as there was someone who could stand up, it was not Canby's turn.

However, Double 21 was placed at the forward position, and Bowen and Artest, who were standing at the small forward position to defend the fixed point, were moved to the second defense!

Best lineup.

One team: Liu Xiu, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Second team: Nash, Billups, McGrady, James, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Milicic, Billups and McGrady voted on the same ticket, Milicic and Stoudemire voted on the same ticket

.

Third team: Arenas, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Howard.

The Trail Blazers only have Liu Xiu!

Randolph was okay, he performed very well in April and was very strong in the playoffs, but he was so sloppy in the first few months of the regular season that he didn't deserve to be on the All-NBA team.

But Ray Allen is really not popular with the media!

Liu Xiu remembers that in the original time and space, Ray Allen averaged 25+ per game for two seasons, but was not selected for the All-NBA Team. He only made the All-NBA Team twice in his 18-year career.

On the contrary, the All-Star substitutes selected by the coaches, Ray Allen, was selected 10 times and has the capital to enter the Hall of Fame.

However, there is only one lone player in the best lineup with 60 wins, and it is not just the Trail Blazers, but also the Spurs and Bulls.

On Yao Ming's side, Billups is a second-team teammate.

Liu Xiu is the only one who cares about the number of players on the best team. Others, including Ray Allen himself, are used to such treatment.

It's no surprise that Liu Xiu won the award. He was selected as the number one draft pick in the first defense and was 'blackmailed' by The Butcher into treating him to Las Vegas after the playoffs.

Randolph heard that during the All-Star Weekend, Kwame Brown was taken to a members-only nightclub by Anthony and had a lot of fun. He was itchy and wanted to experience everything.

Millsap was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team thanks to his average of 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in the 2006 class.

I'm lucky, so I'm even happier.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers once again faced the challenge of the Lakers at home.

The morale of both sides is very high now, they won the award.

Both teams have one team and one defense. For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu plays one team and Kwame Brown plays one team. For the Lakers, Kobe plays one team and one defense.

After the game started, Kobe took the lead and led the Lakers to a score of 35 to 28 in the first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 7 points into the intersection break.

He made 7 of 8 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 18 points in a single quarter. Kobe was extremely brutal in this quarter!

However, in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers suppressed the Lakers' scoring. The method was very simple. They double-teamed Kobe and the wing shooters caught the ball and scored.

Unfortunately, the Lakers' wing shooters are not accurate tonight. Of course, this is also related to the Trail Blazers' high-intensity defensive strategy.

But it was said that he was pushed down, mainly because of the comparison with the first quarter. In this quarter, Kobe made 4 of 8 shots and 1 of 1 free throws to score 9 points. He led the team to 25 points in a single quarter. His performance was still good.

But the Trail Blazers also scored 25 points in this quarter. Liu Xiu had 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph had 9 points, Ray Allen had 5 points, and Kwame Brown had 6 points...
Chapter completed!
