Chapter 882 882. The Strongest Front

I lost two points in the first quarter, 1 point in the second quarter, and 1 point in the third quarter... I still give my all.

Faced with this collapsed situation, the Trail Blazers collapsed.

The Trail Blazers only scored 15 points in the final quarter, Liu Xiu made 1 of 6, Randolph made 1 of 3, Lei Allen made 1 of 4, the sound of wind and rain made irons, and the sound of tribute to Los Angeles.

The Bulls played 21-15 with the Trail Blazers in the last 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, and Nosioni's 19 points... The Bulls scored 4 players in double digits, defeating the Trail Blazers steadily 98-88, defending their first home court!

After playing for 44 minutes, 8 of 26 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, I scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block...

Liu Xiu's G1 data is OK, but his hit rate is very poor.

In fact, although it was not bad for 7 of 20 shots in the first three quarters, it was still barely acceptable. After all, it was 2 of 8 in the beginning, which means 5 of 12 in the second and third quarters, but 1 of 6 in the last quarter...

After the game, he became the target of the media's siege.

Although he refused to take the initiative to accept external information, he still learned about this situation when he was talking to Anne Hathaway.

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

If he loses, he still can't make a profit. Of course, he has to take responsibility.

Anyway, he doesn't go to read the news.

But teammates will watch the news. Now that the media raises fire to attack him, the pressure on teammates will be less.

As he expected, with such an opinion environment, and their departure 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 actively prepared for the game.

Unlike playing against the Suns, although the players of the Blazers have the confidence and belief to win, they have made a good psychological construction of losing.

As for Liu Xiu... he doesn't read the news, and the media will squirt as much as they like.

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

The only thing he felt distressed about was that the talent tendency of "roaring" was gone.

…

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

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

That was a safe way of playing. Judging from his performance in the last game, when he played like that, he could clearly disrupt the Bulls' defense and give Randolph, Ray Allen and others more opportunities to perform.

Randolph scored 25 points in the last game, Ray Allen scored 19 points, and they were all very efficient. Randolph made 10 of 20 and Ray Allen made 6 of 14.

But seeking a stable gambling feel is not in line with Morris Chicks' style, so he chose to change!

It was still Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown who played the pick-and-roll, but after the pick-and-roll attracted Garnett, Liu Xiu passed it to Kwame Brown in the high position. Kwame Brown passed it to the right side of the three-second zone at the high position. Randolph attacked Chandler from close range to launch an attack, and Liu Xiu assisted in organizing the attack.

The Trail Blazers are familiar with this style of play!

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

Such a change caught the Bulls off guard. It was not that the offense was so fierce, but that the Bulls' rhythm was affected through this change.

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 22-20 with the Bulls!

But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were down...

Randolph has improved a lot compared to two years ago, and he can play well against the Bulls, which have Garnett and Chandler.

But his playing style was like this. He played against the Nets inside two years ago. He had no problem chiseling 40 minutes in one game, and faced the Bulls' double towers... and he was depressed in the second quarter.

Not to mention him, O'Neal couldn't keep chiseling this way of playing to get out the situation.

Their body size is the most preferred, occasionally playing a few singles, eating cakes, and snatching.

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

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers continued to have a bad situation. The Bulls took advantage of the victory and scored a 25-20 score, widening the gap to 13 points!

The Trail Blazers broke out in the last quarter, to be precise, Liu Xiu broke out. In the middle, he made 7 consecutive shots, 9 of 13 shots in a single quarter, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 26 points, leading the Trail Blazers to score 41 points in a single quarter.

But unfortunately, the Bulls also played in the second and third quarters. Ben Gordon scored 10 points in the last quarter, Sinrich scored two three-pointers and a mid-range shot to score 8 points and 3 assists, Garnett scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists... He scored 34 points in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu made 14 of 29 shots and scored 39 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Randolph scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Ray Allen scored 23 points... Lost to Ben Gordon with 28 points, Garnett with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, and Hinrich with 17 points and 16 assists.

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

...

...

Come in a fierce manner and walk in shame... I am talking about the current Trail Blazers.

Liu Xiu was also quite frustrated. It turned out that the feeling of falling behind 0 to 2 is like this!

I also had a 0-2 experience before, but that was already a rookie season.

However, after he arrived at Portland International Airport on the Rose Bay Prison, he threw away this emotion.

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

The first two games were not completely rewarded, but they gained a lot.

First of all, they have the ability to win, 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 burst out and score. They have advantages in both the inside and the outside...

But the opponent's overall strength is also very strong and the stars are also very powerful.

Mainly Garnett…

When Garnett had good teammates, his support ability was too strong!

Ben Gordon was brought to Jordan by Garnett.

The most important thing is that Garnett has its own defensive system, which is matched by the Bulls’ lineup accumulated over 6 years of play, perfect fit and seamless connection...

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

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

Now he discovered that those were just appetizers!

The Bulls in front of him reminded him of the Pistons who fought in the finals last year and the Spurs who played in the tiebreak in the Western Conference Finals the previous year.

Gripping that the dynasty was not easy, Liu Xiu put the things in place, threw the backpack to the extra-legal madman, got up and walked towards the cabin door.

After walking a few steps out of the hatch, I saw my teammates gathering at the exit of the bridge.

Liu Xiu walked up and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong before... I'm lying on the horse!"

Liu Xiu looked at the advertisements on the wall outside the bridge and became messy with his teammates...
