Healing Basketball

  Chapter 713 Chapter 713. Five Fingers Mountain

  The Spurs continued the starting lineup of the second round of G7, Parker, Finley, Bowen, Duncan, Nesterovic.

  Popovich slammed the defense at the beginning, just as people originally expected, the Spurs will not change their play just because they are forced to play offense in the second round and play the offense well.

  In order to defend well, Popovich did everything he could. He made 3 of 11 shots in the half quarter and was willing to score 7-8.

  And the Spurs are playing harder and harder on defense, because the Trail Blazers' performance in the opening stage is really poor!

   Throughout the first quarter, the Trail Blazers only scored 5 goals in 18 successful shots. Randolph made 1 of 3 shots, Ray Allen made 1 of 4 shots, and only Liu Xiu made 3 of 7 shots, which is still normal.

  The reason is simple. Liu Xiu discovered it not long after playing—the rest was too long, and she couldn't enter the state for a long time.

  His warden uses his 'physical strength' to the extreme every day, his status is online, and his teammates are really affected.

   On the other hand, the Spurs just finished the second round on the 21st, and the two-day rest time is not too much, just right, the physical strength is not bad, and the state is still online.

   Ginobili also appeared in the second half of the first quarter, making 2 of 4 shots and leading the team to a 9-5 score.

Ginobili, who played as a substitute, performed really well. He didn't have to directly face off against the starters, and he didn't have to play defense to consume energy. He could also watch the state of his teammates and opponents tonight and the actual progress of the game on the bench, and think about himself. How to fight.

  Teammates collectively cheated, and the opponents were all Gundams. Liu Xiu was very distressed at the beginning, but calmed down after entering the intermission.

  From the 14th to the 23rd, he rested for a full 10 days. When he was warming up, he thought of the worst situation, which is the current situation.

   He has a solution too—just do it!

  The Trail Blazers coaching staff was also very helpless. They did everything they could. They mainly practiced offense when preparing for the game. The most fundamental reason was that they were worried that their offensive state would be lost after a long rest.

   But Maurice Cheeks is not messed up, he is on the same channel as Liu Xiu, on defense, let Liu Xiu activate the power of the West Coast!

  After the start of the second quarter, Liu Xiu came up and issued an instruction to use the 'Kobe Time'...and failed to activate it.

But the derivative effect of "paranoia" is very good. He didn't deliberately suppress the high conceited mentality and jealous desire to make a shot. Instead, he took the initiative to immerse himself in it. 0 of 2 points, plus 3 of 3 free throws, scored 13 points in a single quarter, leading the team to a single quarter score of 23 to 20.

   At halftime, the Trail Blazers tied the Spurs 36-36!

   But in the third quarter, Ginobili made 5 of 10 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers. He returned Liu Xiu's 13 points in a single quarter and led the team to 25 points in a single quarter.

  The Spurs also returned the Trail Blazers with 20 points in a single quarter on the defensive end.

   After three quarters, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 5 points 61 to 56.

At the end of the quarter, Liu Xiu, who hadn't really started the 'Kobe time' for two consecutive quarters, didn't go up and start again, but looked for an opportunity, waited for the opponent's fierce defense, found the right time, and issued the 'Kobe time' ’ command, finally, successfully opened Bryant’s time midway through the fourth quarter.

   But at that time, the Trail Blazers were 11 points behind the Spurs 66 to 77. Although the Trail Blazers played a 19-10 climax in the remaining time, they were still short of the final victory by the last goal.

   In the final quarter, 29 to 26, the Trail Blazers lost to the Spurs 85 to 87, and lost their home court advantage.

Liu Xiu scored 13 points in the second quarter and 14 points in the final quarter, plus 6 points in the first quarter and 8 points in the third quarter. He scored 41 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 14 of 33 shots. .

  But Duncan's performance of 3 of 5 shots in the final quarter and 4 of 4 free throws in a single quarter of 10 points, withstood Liu Xiu's impact in the final quarter. Duncan made the best interpretation of the word "stable".

  But the best performance of the Spurs tonight was Ginobili, who made 10 of 22 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 31 points and 4 assists in a single game.

  …

   "I am engaged in Laozhuang:

  Goal: The host needs to lead the team to win the first game of the Western Conference Finals. (failed)

  The host has not received the reward, and the next stage of the future series of missions: Reversing Wuzhishan will be triggered. "

   "Fight against Wuzhishan:

   Goal: Win the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

  Basic reward: Precision Strike (Talent Tendency).

  6 promotions, 1 extra talent fragment will be rewarded, 5 promotions, 1 advanced random attribute point will be rewarded, and the rewards will accumulate. "

  During the game, Liu Xiu forgot about this task. When the game was over and the system reminded him, he remembered this, and his heart was broken.

  The home field advantage of the Western Conference finals is gone at the beginning, and Shifo's talent tendency is gone!

   But there was a second reminder later, he saw it, good guy, this reward is too generous!

   This made him wonder if the reward would be better if he won the first battle, and he got a negative answer.

  Win the first battle, but there will be a 5000 healing value reward for the first battle mission itself.

   After thinking about it for a while, he understood.

   If you win the first battle, the difficulty of completing this task will be lower, and you will be able to advance if you win 3 of the remaining 6 games.

  But the first game has been lost, and there are 6 games left to win 4 games.

  For the opponent of the Spurs, there is no need to increase the difficulty of the mission, it is already extremely difficult!

   Now Liu Xiu is even more surprised by the performance of the Suns in the second round. They can actually push the Spurs to that point.

After entering the simulated training mode at night, he analyzed the performance of the Suns in the second round with a highly clear mind, and came up with a very simple answer - the Suns almost upset the Spurs, relying on It is to be fearless and to rush forward!

   The bully was reimbursed, Raja Bell was reimbursed for evil, the Suns lost the team's scoring leader, the team's most accurate three-pointer, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

   At this point, their Trail Blazers didn’t…

  …

  Although the game between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs was ugly, full of hand-to-hand combat and fouls, the game was fierce and the point difference was very close.

  This makes people have higher expectations for the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

   On the 25th, after two days, the game day for the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals arrived.

  Originally, there should be only one day off between the first two games, but when it comes to the conference finals, in order to increase ratings, the league gave the Pistons and Heat an extra day off, and staggered G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals and G1 of the Western Conference Finals.

  Liu Xiu didn't want to receive outside information, but it was impossible not to watch the live broadcasts of the Pistons and Heat.

  He was in front of the TV ten minutes before the live broadcast started.

The divisional finals are over, and the Eastern Conference finals are about to start. The commentators must talk about the Western Conference finals. Naturally, they have to mention that the Spurs took the home court advantage and took the initiative. necessary.

  Liu Xiu couldn't hear this, and pressed the mute button directly, which caused bursts of laughter from the family members.
