Healing Basketball Chapter 491

Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the hoop, did not smash the rebound, but smashed the confidence of the Nuggets players... No, there is one person who did not give up!

Just now Kenyon Martin gave up chasing Liu Xiu to fight back. After standing firm, Anthony did not give up. He tried his best to chase back, but he didn't catch up.

After Liu Xiu made a dunk, Anthony rushed in to pick up the ball, sent it to Kenyon Martin who had not yet made the 3-point line after running back, and then rushed out and yelled "give it to me".

After receiving the ball, Anthony quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

9 seconds is not time?

The miracle of 8 seconds and 8 minutes, since it has been done before, it is something that people can do. When a similar situation is in front of us, Anthony feels that he is the one who can do such a thing again!

Score a goal, foul a free throw, score another goal, tie the score or even make a lore... This is Anthony's plan.

However, after he rushed to the shooting area, the extrajudicial fanatics were already blocked.

A calm high school student, he didn't relax because he locked the victory, he was always on guard and didn't give Anthony a chance.

Anthony made an emergency stop in front of the extrajudicial madman defense, took off, and shot a three-pointer..."Pop"...The extrajudicial madman jumped vertically and fanned Anthony's three-pointer!

rushed back to pick up the ball to serve and then rushed over to shoot. Anthony was supported by hopes and dreams. He was so excited that he didn't notice that his take-off height was similar to Yao Ming!

The hope of the Nuggets team was shattered by Liu Xiu, and Anthony's last extravagant hope was also slapped by an extrajudicial fanatic!

The ball was fanned to the other half of the court, bounced a few times after landing, and rolled slowly on the floor. No one went to grab the ball.

Anthony fell to the ground exhausted after being blocked. He sounded at this time. Even if he made this three-pointer, they seemed to have run out of timeouts, and there was no condition to give him a miracle of 9 seconds and 9 minutes...

The countdown resets to zero, and the long whistle sounds!

12 of 26 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws, Anthony Hurricane 38 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, but lost to Liu Xiu at the critical moment.

Liu Xiu made 10 of 21 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. He led his team to defeat the Nuggets 103-99 and won the first victory of the series. !

Anthony fell on the floor and felt that the lights on the court were really dazzling. He wanted to find a dark corner to hide and lick the wound... The light was blocked.

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand towards Anthony, Anthony shook his head slightly and smiled, took Liu Xiu's hand and stood up.

Influenced by Liu Xiu, Anthony developed a winning character during his college days, but outside of the game, he is still the Carmelo Anthony who likes to enjoy life, make friends, and be loyal.

"Friends come from far away:

Target 1: … (Host scored 31 total points, total offensive rebounds 3; Carmelo Anthony scored 38 total points, total offensive rebounds 4)

This mining bandit leader has a total of 7 rebounds, and 4 of them are offensive rebounds! As for so hard?

On the second morning of G1 with the Nuggets, Liu Xiu woke up early, had breakfast and listened to the newspaper as always.

Today's newspaper is Anne Hathaway.

While listening to the news, Liu Xiu glanced at Dongge's mission and thought that the offensive rebound in goal 1 would be an advantage, but as long as he played without the ball, he was rushing for his life, and he still couldn't beat Dongge. , This cargo has more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds!

After a bit of slander, Liu Xiu felt that, according to what he thought at the beginning, the main target was target 2!

Most of the news on the first game day of the playoffs was related to the G1 between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets. The Syracuse Brothers battle attracted a lot of attention and ratings. Dragon smash game...Bill Walton's evaluation - Liu Xiu counterattacked and dunked twice in this game. No matter how many times she watched it, she was still full of emotions.

That's right, the media and fans' attitude towards this series is very different from Liu Xiu's feeling.

Public opinion generally believes that the Nuggets have the hope of completing the Black Seven, and this round of series will inevitably become more intense, but Liu Xiu feels that the Nuggets are not so tenacious.

When the most tenacious star of a team is Dongge, it is really difficult for Liu Xiu to associate this team with the word tenacious...

And, although the process was bumpy, the Blazers really had a lot of confidence after G1!

The Nuggets definitely had an explosive performance last night. Anthony became the first member of the empty cut group in the playoffs this season, but their Blazers still won!

Liu Xiu's performance at critical moments is the confidence of his teammates in critical moments of the game.

Payton's performance in the second half of the last quarter is also informative. The Nuggets have two veterans, Person and Byron Russell, as well as the Trail Blazers!

Moreover, compared to the two role players of the Nuggets, Payton can occasionally even be in the core position when he is in a state!

Another game last night also attracted a lot of attention after the game.

If this game is the same as the other three games, the team in the top half wins, no matter how intense, in the case of the Kings without their balloon star Chris Webber, there will be no special attention.

However, this game is the only next game on the first game day!

95 to 84, the Kings beat the Mavericks away, Peja made 12 of 24 shots, including 6 of 8 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, Hurricane 34 points to lead the team to win!

After breakfast, Liu Xiu went to the forum for a while. People were surprised by the performance of the Mavericks. After watching the commentary and all the clips of the game, Liu Xiu had a general understanding of the situation of the Mavericks without watching the video.

After the Mavericks lost to the Jazz in the curtain call, Liu Xiu speculated that the Mavericks would continue to be weak in the playoffs?

During the winning streak, the Mavericks can keep gritting their teeth and keep their state from collapsing.

But after the 16-game winning streak was ended, in the curtain call, the Mavericks played so badly that collective malaise was not enough to describe their bad state at that time.

I just guessed like that at the time, and the result really extended to the playoffs!

Liu Xiu feels that Dong Ge is really miserable. If the Nuggets can rush to sixth in the West, it is really possible to reach the second round.

But Dongge met their Blazers, he would not give Dongge a chance.

As for the Nuggets, they were already ready to play the Mavericks. It was the Blazers who rushed to the second place in the West, which made the Nuggets miss the opportunity to meet the weak Mavericks... Once again, Liu Xiu will still fight. , to be second in the West, of course, to be second in the West.

Not to mention the matter of securing the home field advantage in the second round, the third place in the Western Conference enters the playoffs, and the bonus is more than 20,000 dollars less than the second place in the Western Conference, so he will lose several hundred dollars. bonus!

Liu Xiu thinks, Dong brother is still young, so there is no rush to enter the second round...

After playing a playoff game, Liu Xiu completely entered the playoff mode. Apart from listening to his girlfriend or sister reading the newspaper in the morning, and brushing the battle report, the rest of the time, he no longer cared about other series of events and focused on the front.

After a morning rest, in the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the Rose Garden Arena and followed the team to prepare for the second game of the series against the Nuggets tomorrow.

Winning G1 in such a situation, the Blazers team was very excited and highly motivated to prepare for the game.

After the team training, Peyton, McDyess, Lynch Hunter, George Lynch, Van Horn and several veterans took their teammates for a small-scale cooperative training.

The vice president looked at the positive looks of the players and said to Huo Tu: "The victory last night was not in vain."

Huo Tu nodded: "Yes, that kind of victory, sweeping away our careless and impetuous emotions, is just too dangerous. The strength of the Nuggets is stronger than we expected."

"Yeah, last night's game plan was obviously wrong..." The vice president said and looked at the coach.

The coach said loudly: "There is nothing to worry about, losing a game is not a big deal."

The vice president said angrily: "It's really not a big deal to lose a game. We won 62 wins anyway, and this confidence is still there. It is impossible for morale to collapse, but it will definitely be affected, and it will also give the Nuggets a chance to gain momentum. What if we end up capsized in the gutter because of this game?"

The coach waved his hand: "Didn't we win? Fight for the stars, fight for strength, and defeat the Nuggets who are fully prepared and in explosive form. Do you think Karl will regret that he did such a full game preparation? "

The angry vice president couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Yeah, his on-the-spot response is a little bit worse, and his rotation preparation is not so good, the Nuggets won't last that long, and their players won't. There was so much hope, and in the end it wasn't so disappointing.”

"But if Carl didn't, our confidence-building program wouldn't have been so successful!"

"Even so, we can't have the slightest carelessness..."

"Yes, yes, you can't be careless, you don't have to worry, our boys will definitely not be careless, the Nuggets performed so fiercely last night, our players must know better than us how much the next game is going to be. Be cautious and don't be careless."

"It's you, not us..."

Huo Tu and Bu Shuai are used to the sudden quarrel between the vice president and the head coach when they disagree, then they suddenly reach an agreement, and then they suddenly fight again...

A day of preparation time passed quickly. At 8 pm on April 25th, the second game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets was played at the Rose Garden Arena as scheduled.

In the past 48 hours, the Nuggets have been very optimistic about the series games between the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers in the basketball circle.

It was better at the beginning, it is a pity to say that Anthony scored 38 points in an empty space; the Nuggets lost 4 points, and their strength was better than expected.

can be more outrageous the further back you go.

Now, public opinion has turned into the strength of the Nuggets to suppress the Trail Blazers, and Black Seven is in sight.

I didn't know that I thought the Nuggets won the first game of the series.

The public opinion of is really beyond the expectations of the two teams. The world has gradually entered the Internet era, and the news has become more and more magical.

This gave the Nuggets players confidence, but this confidence, unlike the positive emotions brought about by the despised anger at the beginning of the series, was false confidence that didn't come back. They blurred the perception of their own strength.

Such confidence is like rootless water. After the start of the game, the Blazers scored 29-18 in the first quarter, leading the Nuggets by 11 points in a single quarter, making the Nuggets players doubt their lives!

Originally, the confidence of the G1 Nuggets players was destroyed by Liu Xiu's counterattack dunk that killed the game. If you calmly adjust your mentality, not to say confidence is restored, but it should be no problem to stabilize your emotions. After all, it is 50 wins. level team.

But they are influenced by public opinion, and their cognition is biased. People like to listen to what they like, and they will subtly think that it is right. In this case, they are attacked again, and their confidence is completely shattered!

The Blazers' defense in the first quarter was not as good as preventing the Nuggets from scoring less than 20 points in a single quarter, but the more the Nuggets played, the more explosive their mentality became, and they collapsed early.

It was Momonga who broke the Nuggets!

From being replaced at 3:44 in the first quarter, to being replaced at 10:58, in more than 7 minutes, he made 4 of 6 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, soaring 12 points and 2 Assist!

The best performer for the Nuggets was still Anthony, who made 3 of 8 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and 4 offensive rebounds in a single quarter grabbed a question mark in Liu Xiuyi's head.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets, who had collapsed in belief, did not make effective adjustments, while the Blazers made appropriate adjustments and made better use of the current favorable conditions.

Liu Xiu scored 8 points on 2 of 5 shots and 4 of 4 free throws in a single quarter, Mumbai Squirrel scored 10 points and 4 assists, and Randolph scored 10 points on 3 of 3 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. The three continued to play their individual abilities. Advantage, led the Blazers to get 34 points in a single quarter.

Anthony continued his blood C in the second quarter. He made 2 of 6 shots in a single quarter, plus 1 of 1 free throws, and scored 5 points and 5 rebounds. He is already the player with the highest score in a single quarter for the Nuggets. The Nuggets team has 14 in a single quarter. point.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Nuggets 63-32 by 31 points, almost twice as many as the Nuggets scored!

The TV commentator didn't know what to say, and the fans in front of the TV were stunned.

The fans at the scene and the Blazers fans in front of the TV were naturally excited.

But those fans who were expecting the Trail Blazers to be sacked were just as dumbfounded as the Nuggets players—what if the Nuggets had already made sure they were sacked?

Taking a closer look, the Trail Blazers scored 1-0, and the game was 63-32 at halftime…

In the third quarter, the Blazers did not replace Liu Xiu and Randolph, but Momo and Rahim led the team.

Anthony threw 11 times in the third quarter, scored 13 points in a single quarter, and led the Nuggets to 30 points in a single quarter, but the Blazers also scored 24 points in a single quarter. After the three quarters, the Nuggets still scored 87 points. A 25-point lead over the Nuggets by 62.

In the last quarter, Anthony threw a few goals, all of which were 3-pointers. He scored 2 goals in 6 3-pointers, and scored 6 points. He was replaced halfway through the third quarter. During this period, the Nuggets had no other points. Get 6 points, while the Trail Blazers score is not high, but get 9 points.

96 to 68, the Trail Blazers' lead extended to 28 points!

After the official suspension in the fourth quarter, Anthony, who had made 29 shots, was replaced, and the Nuggets completely surrendered!

At 10:21 p.m., the final whistle sounded.

108 to 84, the Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets to win the second game of the series, making the big score 2-0!

After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu got up and gave a high-five hug to his teammates to celebrate the victory.

Like the Nuggets in his impression, once the start is bad, this team has no resilience at all, and it is normal to collapse.

In the original time and space, before Anthony was assisted by Billups, although he entered the playoffs every year, no matter how good or bad his record was, he was swept out 1-4 or even 0-4 in the first round and lost by a big score. The ball also happens from time to time.

Moreover, the Nuggets are often like this series, with high fighting spirit at the beginning, an explosion of mentality after losing a game, and a broken jar at the end...

That's right, one thing is different from the Nuggets in Liu Xiu's impression - the brother who refuses to give up!

11 of 29 shots, including 3 of 11 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws, Anthony scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 5 fouls tonight.

The focus is on those 11 rebounds, 4 of which are defensive rebounds. As a scoring small forward, this guard can perform well.

But that means my brother has 7 offensive rebounds...

"Friends come from far away:

Target 1: … (Hosts scored 45 total points, total offensive rebounds 5; Carmelo Anthony scored 71 total points, total offensive rebounds 11)

Tonight, his warden only played 19 minutes, scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. It was a pleasure to clock in at halftime and get off work. The two home games were held firmly, and the confidence of the Nuggets players was further damaged... But Data!

This kind of competition is really not good enough for society, my brother...

Momonga went for an interview after the game, and Liu Xiu walked back to the player tunnel.

Payton has caught up with Liu Xiu, and now he is very excited, he finally has a chance to avenge the Nuggets before retiring!

Although it has been more than ten years, he will never forget the hatred of the black eight.

Most of the Nuggets have retired, and there is only one Mutombo left, who is still not playing for the Nuggets. It's not really a powerful revenge.

However, playing against each other in the playoffs is an unavoidable event. Many people do not know that Magic and Stockton, the two super point guards in the West, have only played against each other once in the playoffs. , Payton has played against the Nuggets once in the playoffs in the first ten years of his career, and he has no chance to retaliate later.

Now this revenge, although it is just a passing scene, is finally a grudge in his career.

Peton wants to chat with Liu Xiu, although he may be cured, but today he is happy and bears it!

However, if he won, it was still a crushing victory, which laid the foundation for the victory in the subsequent games of the series, but Payton saw Liu Xiu frown.

Peton asked: "Warden, why are you still so depressed after winning?"

Liu Xiu replied: "I'm not depressed, I'm very happy."

"Yeah...Is it? I really can't see it, what are you thinking?"

"Mero."

"Carmelo Anthony? He had a great performance tonight, again showing his skill and toughness, he's so tenacious, looking at his smiling face at all times, I thought he was kind of loose An unruly person, I didn't expect him to be so resilient. Tonight, the Nuggets were almost driven by him again. Fortunately, Momoko scored 30 points tonight and pressed the Nuggets back again... Ah, no, warden You also have a smiling face all day long, and you look very loose, but in fact you care more about winning or losing than anyone else, and you are worthy of being good brothers."

Liu Xiu didn't answer, and Peyton couldn't stop his broken mouth when he was in a good mood: "Warden, you always have a smile where everything is under control, what's the matter today? Oh! I understand! You are Because I can't bear to see my good brother being abused so badly? It's not right, you are the one who fought the hardest in our team, you are the one who abused him the most..."

Peyton's broken mouth, Liu Xiu also accepted it, decided to interrupt the other party and help the other party find something to do, and replied: "It's not because of this, I'm worried!"

An unexpected answer made Peyton stop his thoughts immediately and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"You said it just now, Melo almost reactivated his teammates, and they'll be back at home next, I'm worried they really cheer up..."

Peton said disdainfully: "Just them, they are not our opponents even if they are in their best condition!"

"Yes, you're right, but look at them..."

Liu Xiu pointed to his teammates. Payton followed Liu Xiu's guidance and looked at his teammates. The teammates were all laughing and joking... In fact, this is similar to the scene after winning the previous game. It is like this after winning. .

But after what Liu Xiu said earlier, Peyton felt that everyone was too complacent when he saw such a picture again!

Furthermore, Payton felt that revenge on the Nuggets was in danger!

Although the probability of being overturned is extremely low, Payton cannot sit idly by such a danger!
