2 hours and 21 minutes after the game, the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Suns 88-81.

Bully 15 points, Marion 16 points, Contemporary Jordan 12 points, Barbosa 11 points, Jahidi White scored 10 points off the bench... The Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, who was halfway through the game, was about to get his nerves in control tonight. collapsed.

No matter who goes up, the defense seems to be very good, and the offensive performance is good. In such a fragmented playing time, 5 people can score in double figures.

The rookie on the opposite side threw 27 times under the siege and intercepted, and made 12 of 27 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 11 of 10 free throws that he made continuously to the basket, and scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. 2 steals 1 block...

The biggest contributors to the Blazers' win-Zach Randolph and Harrington.

The number of rebounds between the two teams was an exaggerated 59 to 51. Randolph had 15 points and 17 rebounds, and Harrington had 10 points and 13 rebounds.

On the second day, April 16, the two sides of the war were unchanged, and the home and away games were replaced. At 7:30 pm, the Blazers challenged the Suns back-to-back.

Liu Xiu, who has completed the scoring target of 35/60, has no more shots tonight. He is confident that he will score more than ten points in each of the next two games.

But the Suns are in really good shape!

They have too many scorers and they all have a tough style of play! It's just a matter of someone connecting them.

Just picked the wrong person at first, mistakenly thinking that Marbury was their rightful son.

The last game D'Antoni tried to suppress, but this one couldn't be suppressed.

Bully 25 points, Jordan 22 points, Marion 16 points, Barbosa 10 points, Howard Eisley 13 points and 11 assists... The Suns narrowly beat the Blazers 96-91 at home!

Liu Xiu's performance tonight was actually pretty good. He made 8 of 20 shots, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. Overall, he was very good. He lowered his shooting percentage to 0 of 4 three-pointers.

Tonight was Randolph and Momo. Randolph made 6 of 17 shots and only scored 14 points and 10 rebounds. Momo was 3 of 9 and almost missed the outside shot.

With the concerted efforts of the Trail Blazers, they narrowed the difference to 5 points in the final quarter, but it was still a little short.

After this wave of back-to-back, the Trail Blazers' record became 58 wins and 23 losses, and missed 60 wins!

It's not just the Blazers who missed 60 wins.

All teams in the Western Conference missed 60 wins.

On the night of the 16th, the Timberwolves also suffered their 23rd loss of the season.

The Trail Blazers moved up to the second place in the Western Conference after a back-to-back record of 1 win and 1 loss. Because of the outcome of the game, they ranked behind the Timberwolves, who were both 58 wins and 23 losses.

The Spurs suffered a three-game losing streak.

Played against the Hornets, Baron Davis ran away with 35 points and 8 assists, and the Spurs lost 96 to 98.

Playing the Bucks, Reed ran wild, scored 8 points in the last 3 minutes, and played a wave of 8-0 alone. The Bucks went from a 6-point deficit of 86-92 to a 94-92 Jedi reversal.

Playing against the 76ers, Iverson went berserk, made 9 of 15 field goals, scored 40 points and 6 assists in a single game, and the 76ers beat the Spurs 83-79.

From the first place in the Western Conference with 57 wins and 21 losses, he was beaten to 57 wins and 24 losses.

So, on April 17th, Liu Xiu followed the team to Los Angeles. When watching the live broadcast of the Spurs and SuperSonics game at night, he saw that all five of the Spurs' starting five were rested, and Ray Allen made 14 three-pointers in a single game. He made 8 of the shots and scored 34 points and 5 assists in a single game, leading the team to slaughter the Spurs 108 to 87.

The Spurs suffered a 4-game losing streak at the end of the season, with 3 negative points within 5 points, and 2 games were overturned at the last minute.

After the loss to the Sonics, the Spurs were 57-25.

Liu Xiu hasn't paid attention to the rankings for a while. She's been busy these days, with constant interviews, back-to-back, training and competition.

He went to check it out of curiosity. In the past two days, the Lakers have also played back-to-back.

Against the Kings, Kobe Bryant had 38 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, O'Neal had 22 points and 20 rebounds, and the Lakers slaughtered the Kings 115-91.

Against the Celtics, Kobe Bryant scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, O'Neal's season-high 38 points in a single game, and the Lakers slaughtered the Celtics 117-83.

After two games, the Lakers record became 56 wins and 25 losses.

Liu Xiu sympathized with the suffering of the two teams that were hanged by the Lakers, and firmly refused to admit that it had anything to do with him.

Liu Xiu analyzed the current playoff ranking situation, and came up with a strange idea - the Spurs have been beaten by outside stars in a few consecutive games, are you afraid of his warden?

This idea, he thought it was too absurd!

In order to avoid him, it would be ridiculous to pick the Kings or the Mavericks for the first round!

However, Liu Xiu is not the only one who thinks so.

After the Spurs rested for the last game and gave the Lakers a chance to enter the top three, the Spurs game itself did not cause much discussion, and their choice aroused people's discussion.

Liu Xiu overlooked a problem, even if the Spurs are third in the Western Conference, they have to face the Kings or Mavericks in the first round.

He didn't realize how much pressure he has put on the Spurs by averaging 34.3 points in 8 games since April!

The Spurs have just been upset by the three All-Stars, Baron Davis, Reed, and Iverson. With Liu Xiu's current competitive state and the depth of the Blazers' lineup, the Spurs chose to give it a try. Can you fall to fourth in the Western Conference and enter the playoffs?

This is the Lakers' curtain call win. On the curtain call day of this year's season, Popovich is a Lakers fan!

On April 18, 2004, the last game day of the regular season of the season arrived.

The hottest game tonight is the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers.

Liu Xiu shocked the basketball rookie with 62 points in a single game, just a few days ago.

Originally, this game was not a popular game for the curtain call. The most popular game for the curtain call was the one between the Mavericks and the Kings.

But what the league is pushing now is this game.

Under the spotlight, at 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers' away game against the Lakers started.

The Lakers are fierce tonight, and the Blazers are also high-spirited.

The Lakers want to rush to the third place for many reasons, one of which is to continue to play against the Blazers in the playoffs.

The Blazers want to hit the top spot in the Western Conference. Although the Timberwolves were leading the Jazz 45-33 at halftime when their game started, what if...

But the life-threatening Lakers are too brutal!

After halftime, relying on O'Neal's 13 points and 5 rebounds, Kobe's 6 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Malone's 9 points, and Fisher's 10 points off the bench... The Lakers led the Trail Blazers 49-35 at halftime by 14 point.

Liu Xiu made 2 of 7 shots in the half, scored 8 points and 3 assists on 4 of 4 free throws, Randolph made 3 of 9, scored 6 points and 4 rebounds...

In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 18-16 in a single quarter, widening the difference to 16 points.

Forcing Kobe to join hands with Malone to fight against the enemy, Liu Xiu is also.

Such a Lakers team, the Blazers chose to avoid its edge...

In the end, relying on Kobe's 14 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, O'Neal's 34 points, Malone's 16 points... The furious Lakers defeated the Blazers 100-87 to complete their revenge!

With the last regular season game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies, the 2003-2004 regular season came to an end!

You come and I go, you go up and down, you advance and I retreat... The playoff seat and ranking competition has come to an end.

The final team that advanced to the playoffs:

Eastern Conference: 62-20 Pacers first, 48-34 Nets second, 51-31 Pistons third, 41-41 Heat fourth, 41-41 Hornets The Bucks were fifth at 41-41, the Knicks were seventh at 39-43, and the Celtics were eighth at 37-45.

West: 59-23 Timberwolves 1st, 58-24 Blazers 2nd, 57-25 Lakers 3rd, 57-25 Spurs 4th, 55-27 Mavericks 4th 5. The Kings are sixth at 55 wins and 27 losses, the Grizzlies are seventh at 50 wins and 32 losses, and the Nuggets are eighth at 48 wins and 34 losses.

The 44-38 Rockets, the ninth in the West, and the 42-40 Jazz, the tenth in the West, missed the playoffs; The Dragons and the 76ers are only a little short of overtaking the Celtics.

The Spurs got their wish and fell to the fourth place in the Western Conference!

The league announced the first-round matchup list that night.

The playoffs began on April 21. The Pacers and Celtics, Heat and Hornets, Trail Blazers and Grizzlies, Lakers and Kings took the lead in the four-group series.

The four-group series between the Nets and the Knicks, the Pistons and the Bucks, the Timberwolves and the Nuggets, and the Spurs and the Mavericks started on April 22.

Various data lists are also fixed tonight.

McGrady won the scoring title with an average of 28.2 points per game, followed by Iverson with 26.5 points per game, Kobe Bryant in third with 24.5 points, Garnett in fourth with 24.3 points, and Perry in fifth. Jia, averaging 24.2 points per game.

This scoring list, in the past ten years, has shrunk the season worse than this.

Because Iverson has only played in 48 games, and if it is evenly distributed to the 56 games that compete for the scoring championship, he will only average 22.7 points per game, not counting the 25+ scorers per game.

The official scoring list, this season, McGrady is a 25+ scorer per game.

According to media comments, this is the most maddening year for the Alliance since the Jagged Age.

Garnett won the rebounding championship with an average of 14 rebounds per game. The second-place Duncan averaged 12.4 rebounds per game, a big gap.

Kidd averaged 9.2 assists per game and won the assists king. Like scoring, assists were also affected by the intensity of defense this season. It is very difficult to get assists in positional battles.

Ratliff leads the league in blocks with 3.6 blocks per game.

Both Iverson and Baron Davis averaged 2.4 steals per game, but because Iverson played only 48 games, the data needed to be spread to 56 games, and Baron Davis interrupted Iverson's 3. Even the steal king.

However, since these data kings have long been determined, when the media use these data as news reports, the popularity is far less than that of the rookies' data lists.

Anthony averaged 23.6 points per game, James averaged 21 points per game, and although Liu Xiu only scored 12 points in the curtain call, he still ranked among the 20+ players with an average of 20.14 points per game.

3 rookies averaged 20+ per game, the first time since 1971!
