   Chapter 718 718. Small goals for the playoffs

  52 points + lore, the warden smiled slightly, Yao Sha fought, he can still steal the limelight.

   Refreshing the Trail Blazers single-game scoring record in the playoffs, Liu Xiu also realized it later.

  He went to check afterwards and found that the Trail Blazers had said that they were a traditional strong team, but their playoff records were dry. The four lists of points, rebounds, assists, and steals were all occupied by glider.

   But the statistics are not high, with a total score of 2015 points, 670 total rebounds, 640 total assists and 190 total steals in the playoffs.

  Liu Xiu is only in the third year of his career, and his total score in the playoffs has reached eighth in team history, with 769 points, only 5 points away from the seventh Buck Williams.

   Not surprisingly, Kevin Duckworth, Clifford Robinson, and Tianzun, the three Trail Blazers who scored less than 900 points in the playoffs, will surpass them this season.

  The glider's 2015 points, Terry Burt's 1527 points, and Jeremy Kersey's 1392 points are still far away.

  Before, he set a small goal for his total number of steals in the regular season. The goal was more than a thousand steals, surpassing chief assistant Huo Tu.

  Now the playoffs have also set a small goal, and this year they rushed to the fourth place in the playoffs scoring list in team history!

  …

   Both the East and West finals were tied 1-1, and both teams began to change home games in the series.

   On the afternoon of the 27th, Liu Xiu went to San Antonio with the team.

  The vice president didn't start with the team today, and he won't go until the day of the game.

   Liu Xiu learned from Bill Duffy that their Trail Blazers will conduct the first batch of trial training today and tomorrow.

  With a 30th pick in the first round, two second-round picks, and three draft picks, they are one of the teams with the largest number of sign-ups for trial training.

  Liu Xiu went to the coach and asked for the list of sign-ups for trial training. There were more than 60 candidates for this batch of trial training. He remembered the name of only Jordan... Farmar, the "King of Los Angeles".

   Others who came to the trial training, Liu Xiu felt, could not be said to be fake, but most of them had never experienced beatings by society.

  This time is a registration trial, and in a few days there will be a Chicago joint trial hosted by the Bulls, as well as an invitation trial from their team.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was paying attention to this matter, the coach asked him if he had any promising rookies. Liu Xiu remembered that he promised Bill Duffy to name a few names, and some of those people were from him and Bill Duffy. I mentioned it during chatting, so I reported those names to the coach.

  The coach wrote it down, and called those people when the time came to invite the trial training.

  The remuneration for inviting a trial training and signing up for a trial training is still very different. The invitation to a trial training is all inclusive of food and beverages in the hotel, and the registration for the trial training is responsible for everything. Generally speaking, the agent pays for the money.

  The coach didn’t just come out to play around, of course he knows who gave the name Liu Xiu provided, but it’s not a big deal, the boss is responsible for the expenses...

Liu Xiu paid a little attention to this matter, put it aside, found a place far away from his teammates playing cards, pulled out the embedded TV and DVD newly installed by the boss, and watched the first two games. video...

  …

   After going to San Antonio for a night's rest, on the 28th, the Trail Blazers prepared for a day at the rented indoor training ground.

The reputation of big dogs, stupid people and rich money has spread to San Antonio. When Paul Allen’s secretary was renting an arena in San Antonio, he was made trouble again. Paul Allen bought the arena with full price at the current market price. , another indoor court under his sports fund.

  The seller who finally sold the indoor court was overjoyed, but Paul Allen is definitely not at a loss.

  The indoor arena he chose for the secretary to rent, the location, the year the arena was built...all carefully selected.

  Although it was bought at the market price, there is no room for decline in that location, even in San Antonio.

  The money was well spent, and because of the crazy money dumping, it was on the news, and it was hotly discussed by fans and even non-sports fans on the Internet. Paul Allen, who came to San Antonio with the team, was so loud.

  In the evening, G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off in Miami.

   San Antonio is not suitable for tourism, and Liu Xiu's family did not come here.

   Security matters.

  So Liu Xiu watched the live broadcast with his teammates this time.

  Fans don’t want to miss the Yao Sha matchup. When Liu Xiu checked the domestic forums, he found that many people skipped work or classes to watch the live broadcast.

  Tonight’s game can be described in one word—iron!

  Philip Sanders and Pat Riley thought of it together, and they both filled the defense.

Yao Ming played 41 minutes, more than the previous two games. He took 23 shots, more than the previous two games. He made 10 of 23 shots and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 5 cap.

   O'Neal was blocked by Pat Riley for 44 minutes. He made 10 of 22 shots and 6 of 12 free throws. He scored 26 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

   Every time these two score, it is extremely difficult.

Not to mention the others, Wade played so well in the last game, tonight scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 6 of 14 shots; Carter was not much better, scoring 19 points and 4 rebounds on 9 of 22 shots 2 assists, 1 free throw, no three-pointers.

  Ben Wallace had 5 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block tonight, and he was not particularly outstanding.

  But Billups C got up and made 9 of 17 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, plus 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 24 points and 5 assists.

  Yao Ming and Billups scored 52 points together, leading the Pistons to a 95-88 away win over the Heat, regaining the home court advantage and taking a 2-1 lead!

   Seeing Yao Ming win, Liu Xiu was very happy.

   But in this case, the pressure is all on his side!

  G3 has one more reason to win!

  …

   At 8:00 p.m. on May 29th, the third game of the Western Conference finals between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs started at the ATT Center Arena.

  With the deepening of the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers players can feel their condition is getting better and better during training.

  With the determination to win G3, the Trail Blazers players stepped onto the court.

   The Trail Blazers players didn’t feel wrong. Their condition had indeed improved. Liu Xiu failed to start the ‘Kobe Time’ in the first quarter, but his style of play in the ‘paranoid’ stage drove the momentum of his teammates’ impact.

Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 2 assists with 3 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in a single quarter. He led the team to score 25 points in the first quarter and successfully limited the Spurs to only 20 points in a single quarter. Both offensive and defensive in one quarter did a very good job!

And it's not just Liu Xiu who performed well alone. Ray Allen scored 4 points on 2 of 4 shots, Randolph scored 5 points on 2 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. The mid-range shot from the bottom line made a steady beep, and Liu Xiu scored 9 points efficiently in the first energy saving. The performance of the two is indispensable!
