Chapter 882 882. The most powerful striker

Lose by two points in the first quarter, lose by one point in the second quarter, and lose another one point in the third quarter...still at full strength.

Faced with this devastating situation, the Trail Blazers collapsed.

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers only scored 15 points. Liu Xiu made 1 of 6, Randolph made 1 of 3, and Ray Allen made 1 of 4. With the sound of wind and rain, and the sound of iron, everyone paid tribute to Los Angeles.

The Bulls and Trail Blazers tied 21 to 15 in the final quarter.

In the end, with Garnett's 24 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, Hinrich's 15 points and 7 assists, Ben Gordon's 22 points, Nocioni's 19 points... four Bulls players scored in double figures, finishing with 98

Beat the Trail Blazers steadily by 88 and defend their first home court!

Played 44 minutes, made 8 of 26 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block...

Liu Xiu's G1 data is okay, but his shooting rate is very poor.

In fact, although 7 of 20 shots were poor in the first three quarters, it was still passable. After all, 2 of 8 started in the beginning, which meant a good performance of 5 of 12 in the second and third quarters, but 1 of 6 in the final quarter...

After the game, he became the target of siege by the media.

Although he refused to take the initiative to accept outside information, he still learned about the situation during a video chat with Anne Hathaway.

There are negative emotions, but he thinks the situation is good.

If he loses, it's because he couldn't make the shot, so of course he has to shoulder the responsibility.

He doesn't watch the news anyway.

But his teammates will watch the news. Now that the media is focusing on attacking him, the pressure on his teammates will be less.

As he expected, with such a public opinion environment and the fact that they were starting the finals away from home this time, it was normal for G1 to lose. When preparing for the game the next afternoon, Liu Xiu felt that his teammates were not affected and were actively preparing for the game.

Unlike the game against the Suns, in the game against the Bulls, although the Trail Blazers players had the confidence and belief to win, they were mentally prepared to lose.

As for Liu Xiu...he doesn't read the news. The media can spray whatever they like.

As long as you win in the end, flowers and praise will come.

The only thing that bothered him was that his innate tendency of 'roaring' was gone.

…

After a day's rest, at 7 pm on June 8, the second game of the finals started.

The Trail Blazers adjusted their play style and no longer used Liu Xiu's mid-range shot to open up the situation.

That is a safe way of playing. Judging from his performance in the last game, when he plays like that, he can clearly mess up the Bulls' defense and give Randolph, Ray Allen and others more opportunities to perform.

In the last game, Randolph scored 25 points and Ray Allen scored 19 points, and both were very efficient. Randolph made 10 of 20 shots and Ray Allen made 6 of 14 shots.

But seeking a sure bet didn't fit Maurice Cheeks's style, so he chose to change!

Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown were still playing the pick-and-roll, but after the pick-and-roll drew Garnett out, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Kwame Brown in the high post. Kwame Brown passed the high post to the right side of the three-second zone, and Randolph came close.

Chandler starts the attack from a distance, and Liu Xiu assists in organizing the attack.

This style of play is familiar to the Trail Blazers!

This is how they played against the Nets in the 2004-05 season finals.

This change caught the Bulls off guard, not because of how fierce the offense was, but because of this change, it affected the Bulls' rhythm.

After the first quarter, with Liu Xiu's 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, Ray Allen's 6 points, Randolph's 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists... the Trail Blazers tied with the Bulls at 22-20!

But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers collapsed...

Compared with two years ago, Randolph's strength has improved a lot, and he can perform well against the Bulls team with Garnett and Chandler.

But with his style of play, when he played in the Nets two years ago, he could play for 40 minutes a game without any problem, but when faced with the Bulls' twin towers... he collapsed in the second quarter.

Don't talk about him, even O'Neal couldn't keep opening up the situation with this style of play.

With their body type, it is best to occasionally fight with a few of them alone, eat cakes, and rush for grabs.

The Trail Blazers only scored 19 points in the second quarter. They failed to play well offensively and failed to disrupt the Bulls' rhythm. Instead, they were busy adjusting their offense and their defense was affected... 19 to 29 in a single quarter, and were overtaken by 8 by the Bulls.

point.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' bad situation continued. The Bulls took advantage of the victory to pursue a score of 25 to 20, widening the point difference to 13 points!

In the last quarter, the Trail Blazers broke out. To be precise, Liu Xiu broke out. In the middle of the game, he hit a wave of 7 consecutive goals, 9 of 13 in a single quarter, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws.

26 points, leading the Trail Blazers to 41 points in a single quarter.

But unfortunately, the Bulls also performed well in the second and third quarters. Ben Gordon made 3 of 6 shots in the final quarter and scored 10 points. Hinrich scored two three-pointers and a mid-range shot and scored 8 points and 3 assists.

, Garnett had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists... 34 points in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu made 14 of 29 shots and scored 39 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. Randolph had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Ray Allen had 23 points... He lost to Ben Gordon who scored 28 points. He scored 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists.

Garnett, Hinrich with 17 points and 16 assists.

108 to 102, the Bulls won two games in a row, leading 2-0!

…

…

Come in strong, leave in despair... this is the current Trail Blazers.

Liu Xiu was also quite frustrated. It turned out that this was how it felt to be behind 0-2!

There was a 0-2 experience before, but that was already in my rookie season.

However, he put aside such emotions after arriving at Portland International Airport on the Rose Bay Prison.

Such negative emotions are meaningless for the next preparations and have only negative effects.

It’s not that the first two games were all without gains, in fact there were quite a lot of gains.

First of all, they are capable of winning, which is very important.

They have ways to limit the Bulls' offense, the ability to score stably when the Bulls' defense is full, and the ability to score suddenly. They have advantages both inside and outside...

It's just that the opponent's overall strength is also very strong, and the stars are also very powerful.

Mainly Garnett...

When Garnett has good teammates, his support ability is too strong!

Ben Gordon was led by Garnett to look like Jordan.

The most important thing is that Garnett's own defensive system, coupled with the Bulls' lineup accumulated over the past six years, fits perfectly and seamlessly...

In Liu Xiu's opinion, Duncan should be considered a center, while Garnett...is really the most powerful forward in active service!

Before the finals, Liu Xiu felt that this playoff journey was very difficult. There was a risk of being upset in the first round, but he encountered a real challenge in the second round.

Now he realized that those were just appetizers!

The Bulls in front of him reminded him of the Pistons they played against in last year's Finals, and the Spurs who reached the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals the year before last.

Sighing that the dynasty was not easy, Liu Xiu put away his things, threw his backpack to the outlaws, got up and walked towards the cabin door.

After walking a few steps from the hatch, I saw my teammates gathered at the exit of the corridor bridge.

Liu Xiu walked up and asked, "What's the matter? Did something happen in front of you... He was riding a horse!"

Liu Xiu looked at the advertisements on the wall outside the corridor bridge and became confused with his teammates...
Chapter completed!
