Healing Basketball

  Chapter 1083 Chapter 1083. Fight King Silver Horn again!

   Trail Blazers fans are very satisfied with Liu Xiu's average of 22.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 180 club performance this season.

  If there is any regret, it is that Liu Xiu failed to break through the 20,000-point mark in one fell swoop after finishing this season.

  At present, his total score is 19093 points, 1845 points this season, and 2755 points last season.

  After last season, some people said that he will score more than 20,000 points in the new season, which is based on the points scored last season.

   And after he finished this season, his career scoring average dropped to 29.65 points per game, falling to third in history.

  With Anthony and Bosh joining, Trail Blazers fans feel that Joe boss may be happier than them...

  Compared to others, their warden is really enjoying basketball and games, and is really willing to give up a lot of things when everyone needs to sacrifice together.

   The scoring champion has been dominated by Iverson, McGrady, Kobe, and Liu Xiu for 10 years. After the start of the new 10 years, there is finally a newcomer.

   Durant averaged 27.2 points per game to win the scoring title. The last time the scoring title was lower than this was in the shrinking season of the 98-99 season. Iverson averaged 26.8 points per game and won the scoring title for the first time in his career.

The rebounding leader, Howard averaged 14.1 rebounds per game, the second is Randolph, averaging 12.4 rebounds per game, the third is Griffin, averaging 11.8 rebounds per game...Love averaged 10.1 rebounds per game, and the Clippers had two games Even inside the double-double, Griffin averaged 20.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, and Love averaged 17.1 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, but their records ranked last in the league...

  Assist king, Nash came from behind, averaging 11.1 assists per game, beating Deron, who averaged 10.9 assists per game, and Rondo, who averaged 10.7 assists per game, and won the assist king again.

Except for the three of them, no one else averaged double figures in assists per game. The fourth Liu Xiu averaged 9.4 assists per game, the fifth Paul averaged 9.3 assists per game, the sixth turtle averaged 9.2 assists per game, and the seventh Rose averaged 9.3 assists per game. assists.

   In the steals list, Liu Xiu continued to dominate the list, beating Rondo (2.5 steals per game) and Paul (2.4 steals per game) with 2.8 steals per game.

   In the block list, Kwame Brown defeated Oden, who averaged 3 blocks per game, with 3.2 blocks per game, interrupted Oden's rule, and was crowned the block leader.

  Oden's defensive efficiency has actually improved this season, and his defensive performance has become closer to that of Beast and Kwame Brown. The number of blocks has decreased because there are fewer unnecessary jumps.

   Misplacements and fouls have been reduced as a result, and injuries have been better controlled.

  The Grizzlies, in order to take good care of the big baby super genius they finally got, took great pains.

The primary school student recommended by the logo man has also become Chris Wallace’s baby. In order to train the primary school students, he is ready to give up Conley and Mayo. free up.

Originally, Chris Wallace wanted elementary school students to play shooting guards and form double point guards, but Curry's body, weight and core strength are not enough for confrontation. He is always injured because of the intense physical confrontation at the shooting guard position. Need to free up the point guard spot...

   In the three-point list, elementary school students dominate the list, with a 40.6% three-point shooting rate and an average of 3.2 three-pointers per game!

At the beginning of the season, the elementary school student threw three-pointers crazily. He averaged three three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of less than 40%. After that, he continued to increase his shots, and his hit rate increased by a little bit.

  This also has something to do with the role the Grizzlies gave him—that is, to shoot! Conley organizes the offense, David West tandems the offense, and the elementary school students are responsible for shooting.

It is very different from the training method of the Warriors in the original time and space, who wanted to train the elementary school students into an enhanced version of Nash... When Liu Xiu learned about the situation of the elementary school students, she was also very curious that the elementary school students trained in this way would be different from the original time and space. what a difference.

  He is not worried about losing this formidable opponent. Elementary school students with such talent and perseverance have been cultivated with emphasis, and their direction is basically not bad, so it is impossible to abolish them.

   In terms of record, the Spurs won the regular season championship with 69 wins and 13 losses.

West: Trail Blazers 68 wins and 14 losses second, Mavericks 57 wins and 25 losses third, Timberwolves 53 wins and 29 losses fourth, Thunder 50 wins and 32 losses fifth, Nuggets 50 wins and 32 losses sixth, Jazz 47 wins and 35 losses Seventh, the Grizzlies 46 wins and 36 losses beat the Rockets with 44 wins to enter the playoffs.

East: Pistons 63 wins and 19 losses first, Heat 60 wins and 22 losses second, Eagles 55 wins and 27 losses third, Celtics 55 wins and 27 losses fourth, Knicks 52 wins and 30 losses fifth , Magic 50 wins and 32 losses sixth, 76ers 45 wins and 37 losses seventh, Pacers 44 wins and 38 losses eighth.

   After the Bulls sent Hinrich away to save money, their record plummeted, finishing the regular season in tenth place in the Eastern Conference with 40 wins and 42 losses.

The playoff schedule has been released. On the 21st, the Pistons and the Pacers, the Celtics and the Knicks, the Trail Blazers and the Jazz, and the Mavericks and the Nuggets will take the lead in four series; on the 22nd, The Heat and the 76ers, the Eagles and the Magic, the Timberwolves and the Thunder, and the Spurs and the Grizzlies started a four-group relay game.

  When Liu Xiu saw this matchup list, there were three series that she was most interested in—Pierce vs. his old club, the matchup between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, two talented clubs, and the elementary school students vs. the Great vs. the Great God and Shifo.

  The strength ranking of the 16 teams in the playoffs is also out.

   By convention, the defending champion Mavericks ranked first.

   To Liu Xiu's surprise, including Sports Illustrated, they ranked their prison team second.

  The reason is also quite simple-invincible at home!

   With 68 victories, they all had home court advantage before meeting the Spurs.

  This means that they may go straight to the conference finals.

   And the warden is the king of the Western Judgment!

  4 trips to the Western Conference Finals, never lost!

  If the Mavericks were not the defending champions, and the Mavericks performed so well in the last two months, the closer they got to the playoffs, the better the media would want to put the Trail Blazers directly in the first place.

  The record is second but the strength list is the first. It needs to be logical and topical.

   It’s the 20th. Yesterday, Liu Xiu finished the team’s season celebrations and fan appreciation activities. Today, he started to prepare for the first round with the team.

  Today, the main topic of news is to predict the situation of the playoffs, as well as the attribution of major awards.

   After looking at it casually, Liu Xiu took her attention back from these things, stopped caring about the news from the outside world, and focused on the upcoming first round.

  The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Although he has a great advantage in playing small cannons, he still has to devote himself wholeheartedly to prevent any possibility of being upset!

  …

   On April 21, the playoffs began, and the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Jazz at home.

Paul averaged 15.5 points, 4 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game this season. It was his worst season in four years. He changed his style of play after injury. Although the change went smoothly, in the first year, it was inevitable that he encountered various problems... But it is still The top performance at the point guard position is expected to be selected for the best team.

  Bagnani averaged 22 points per game, shot 48% from the field, 41.4% from the three-point range, and 89.3% from the free throw line.

   But averaged 5.5 rebounds per game... Yinjiao Dawang is not bad at rebounding at the age of 25. Ren has averaged 9+ rebounds per game since the third grade.

  Paul was stunned to use Bargnani out of the peak Peja feeling.

   DeRozan, averaging 16.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, has made great progress and has become one of the most improved players.

  The three of the Jazz performed well in the regular season, but the others were not so good.

Affected by back injuries in the middle and late seasons of the season, Okafor's performance plummeted, averaging 9.5 points, 9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game; Aminu, a member of the Nigerian royal family, was in trouble, averaging only 5 points and 3 rebounds per game, and refused to execute Kirilenko The player option of $17.82 million in the last year now seems to be the biggest failure.

   Kirilenko, who joined the Mavericks in the middle class for two years, averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, becoming the backbone of the Mavericks' front line defense.

  The most critical statistic is the number of appearances. He has played 74 times this season, which is the only time in the last seven seasons that he has played more than 70 times, and his injury has improved.

Aminu, who was selected at the beginning, looks so talented, like a brand new Kirilenko, the Jazz management gave up Kirilenko... If Kirilenko is still there, plus Paul, DeRozan, Bargnani, and Okafor, who has declined a lot but still has some strength, it is not a problem to reach 50 wins.

   Wouldn’t have met the Trail Blazers in the first round…

   It would not have been such a miserable first two games in the series...

  In the first game, the score was 29 to 16 in the first quarter and 36 to 23 in the second quarter. After halftime, the game lost its suspense.

Liu Xiu Liu Xiu had 11 points and 6 assists, Ray Allen had 17 points, Anthony had 10 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol Jr. had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Bosh had 9 points...the top five starters scored 45 points in the half, more than the Jazz team. Score more!

In the second half, only Gasol Jr. played in the five starters of the Trail Blazers. The score was 25 to 26 in the third quarter and 26 to 27 in the fourth quarter. The Jazz players tried to struggle, but the gap in strength was too great. The Jazz players struggled It is based on professionalism, but the confidence has collapsed. When I make a shot, I don't think of 'this goal can be scored', but 'don't be too hard'...

  116 to 92, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Jazz and won the first game!

  Paul's bread-feeding ability is amazing. He gave Bargnani a performance of 32 points in a single game. He made 12 of 25 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws.

  But the rest of the Jazz were not as lucky as Bargnani. Except for Bargnani, only Paul, who scored 17 points and 12 assists on 6 of 15 shots, scored in double figures.

   On the 23rd, the Trail Blazers ushered in the second game of the series against the Jazz at home.

  Originally, people thought that the Jazz's first game was bad enough, but they didn't expect the second game to be even worse!

The first quarter was good, the Trail Blazers led 29 to 26 by three points, but the situation got out of control again at the beginning of the second quarter. Liu Xiu scored 7 goals in a row and scored 18 points in a single quarter, leading the team to a 41 to 25 victory. The score in a single quarter was 70 to 51, and the Trail Blazers beat the game for another half!

   In the third quarter, Liu Xiu, who scored 24 points at halftime, missed the game. The score was 27 to 26, and the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 20 points.

   So far, the Jazz have completely collapsed, only scoring 13 points in the final quarter!

  The Trail Blazers played blindly in the final quarter and only scored 23 points, extending their lead to 30 points.

  120 to 90, the Trail Blazers had a 30-point advantage and slaughtered the Jazz, with a big score of 2 to 0!

   The average point difference is 27 points per game. This huge gap makes everyone dumbfounded.

  Actually, the Trail Blazers themselves feel that their strength advantage is not that great.

  The Jazz were simply scared of being beaten, and then lost their fighting spirit. They didn't seem to want to resist any more.

   Not because of this game, but because of the confrontation over the years, the Jazz saw that the situation was unfavorable in this series, so they chose to give up from the bottom of their hearts.

On the 26th, the Trail Blazers beat the Jazz 118-113 in an away game. The big score was 3-0, and the difference was 15 points. 84 defeated the Jazz again, with a big score of 4 to 0, sweeping and advancing to the second round!

   24 points, 30 points, 15 points, 19 points, the average point difference reached 22 points per game, the Trail Blazers contributed a rare massacre in history for the fans!

   But as early as G2, this topic has been hyped. During G3 and G4, the topic's popularity reached its peak, and Xiaopao became the unlucky guy who was ridiculed by the crowd.

  How hard the media praised Xiaopao at the beginning, now it is so slanderous.

  Up to now, the heat of this topic has dropped instead, and people's attention has been attracted by another matter...Liu Xiu's career playoffs total score broke through the 4000-point mark!

  G4 he scored 22 points, raising his total score in the playoffs to 4012 points, becoming the 8th player in the history of the NBA playoffs to score more than 4000 points!

   In front of him, only Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, Malone, Jerry West!

  The only active players ahead of him are O'Neal, Kobe, and Duncan.

  With O'Neal confirming that he will retire after this season's playoffs, in his eighth year of career, Liu Xiu will also enter the top three active players.

   It is worth mentioning that this G4 is the 115th playoff game of his career, with an average of 34.8 points per game. This round of the series successfully lowered his average score in the playoffs to below 35 points...

  Many fans were in a daze when they saw Liu Xiu's record. Before they knew it, even the warden had almost finished his 8th season of his career, and had entered the stage of "accumulating career achievements"!

  Duncan, Kobe and others have been playing for 14 or 15 years, and they are already 'old-fashioned' to the stage where they want to team up against young opponents.

  However, on May 2nd, the group of classic cars that have been lamented as 'old-fashioned' made another big event!

   On May 2, 2011, the NBA officially announced the last two individual awards.

The best defensive player was won by Dwight Howard. There is no suspense this time. Kwame Brown’s record is not good, Duncan’s playing time has dropped sharply, Garnett’s 4 starting teammates have all left the team, and Oden still needs to continue to grow , Artest did not make the playoffs... This year is Howard's worst season in recent years. Unexpectedly, it was the season he got the most votes, and his first-choice rate exceeded 90%.

Regular season MVP...Kobe Bryant got 41 of 115 first picks, accounting for 27.9% of the total points, defeating Liu Xiu, who accounted for 24.2% of the total points, Yao Ming, who accounted for 16.9% of the total points, James, who accounted for 13.2% of the total points, and Nowitzki, who accounted for 10.8% of the total points, won the regular season MVP!

Kobe played full attendance in the regular season this season, averaged 34 minutes per game, scored 25.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, shot 52.9% from the field, 41.6% from the three-point range, and 88% from the free throw line. Efficiency, offensive efficiency is the highest in his career, and his defensive efficiency is second only to the 02-03 season.

   125 points per 100 possessions... Kobe, at the age of 32, played a season comparable to Michael Jordan's peak.

  Under the Spurs system, Kobe is like the ultimate luxury version of the demon knife.

   What Ginobili can only do when he explodes, when it comes to Kobe, it is a routine performance.

  When Kobe needs to rest, Yaodao can still go up and show the same performance.

  …

   Liu Xiu is very sorry that he did not get the MVP.

   Just a little bit.

  His warden has higher assists, rebounds, and steals, and Kobe has higher scoring and shooting percentages. He is slightly better, but his record is more on the Spurs side.

  Although there is only one game short, it may be that one game that determines the MVP.

   In fact, the votes were lower, Liu Xiu is not unacceptable, his data has indeed dropped too much, and he is only a few points away from overtaking Kobe, he is quite surprised.

  If you only look at personal performance, he can't overwhelm James so much.

   It seems that the record is still the key to determine the MVP!

  He chose not to pay attention to MVP-related topics for the time being, so as not to affect his preparations.

  Other awards

   Best Manager, John Nash wins again!

  Liu Xiu heard that the vice president wanted to fire John Nash, and wanted to do it herself.

John Nash is the kind of regular general manager who rarely makes mistakes, but has no creative operations, so once the team encounters unexpected things, such as injuries or man-made disasters caused by the team doctor, there is basically no solution. …really picking up all these best manager trophies for nothing.

  The warden attracted Bosh and Anthony to join, and John Nash did almost nothing except to be a microphone between the big dog and the two players.

What John Nash defeated was RC Buford of the Spurs. Buford ranked the best manager in the votes by introducing Kobe, Blake, Matt Barnes, Joe Smith...etc. two.

   When it came to the best coach, Maurice Cheeks lost to Popovich, who won the best coach.

  The Most Improved Award was won by Aldridge of the Hornets, which increased from 15.9 points per game last season to 20.9 points. Aldridge has also become a top insider with an average of 20+ per game.

This, thanks to Liu Xiu's desire to get a triple-double in the middle of the season, the number of triple-doubles this season has reached a new high, with 26 times, and the one who has benefited the most is to cooperate with Aldridge, who is becoming more and more familiar .

  Best Sixth Man, Jason Terry got 82 first votes and won the Best Sixth Man Award without any suspense.

His two biggest competitors are Odom and the outlaws. The former ran away because of the team's two starting insiders. , very powerful, but did not play a game as a substitute; the latter, the average scoring dropped to 10.1 points per game this season, although it is the fifth highest scoring in the team, but it has dropped a lot, because Hill came to play as a substitute, everyone's appearance Time is more even.

  Best rookie, Griffin won 109 first ballots.

  Wall did nothing wrong. His performance was the best in the same class, but he did not have the absolute strength of Evans. The best rookie was taken away by a former student.

  The time came to May 3rd, at 7:30 p.m., the first round of the playoffs was over, and half an hour later, the second round would also kick off.

  Eight teams advanced to the second round, East: Pistons, Heat, Eagles, Knicks; West: Spurs, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Timberwolves.

  The Spurs eliminated the Grizzlies 4-2. The tough stick brought a lot of trouble to the Spurs. They went from 2-1 to 3-2. In the end, they won 88-84 in the away game to advance, avoiding the tie-break.

  The Mavericks won easily. The Nuggets were fierce in the regular season and played 50 wins. But in the playoffs, they were quite mediocre. The Mavericks swept the Nuggets 4-1 to advance to the second round.

The series between the Timberwolves and the Thunder is the most watched matchup in the first round, Evans VS Rose, Roy VS Durant, Gasol VS Ibaka, the Timberwolves played 3 games in the first 5 games 2 Leading the Thunder, G6, Durant made a quasi-lore three-pointer and overtook the score 94 to 93, but Roy's 1.8-second buzzer three-pointer ended the Thunder's hopes and sent the four players to go fishing.

   The series between the Pistons and the Pacers has a huge gap in strength, and it is the only series in the East that has been swept.

   There was no suspense in the series between the Heat and the 76ers. They advanced 4 to 1, and the 76ers won 1 game 83 to 79 by relying on defense when they were behind 0 to 3.

  The Eagles almost swept the Magic, just a little bit, and finally advanced 4-1.

  The hottest topic in this series - Beast is not happy and wants to change teams.

  The Knicks are the only team that is down and up. The fifth in the Eastern Conference killed the Celtics in the fourth in the Eastern Conference.

   He left the team without winning the championship, and Pierce didn’t have that deep affection for the Celtics. On the contrary, his Celtics career in his memory was just beating Fat Toutuo’s hands, and then kept doing badly…

  He hasn’t won the championship yet, Pierce is like a resentful woman, resenting the sky and the atmosphere, seeing that his old club still has a bit of "mother team love", he can't wait to die.

  4 to 2, the Knicks beat the Celtics on the road.

  The current predicament of the Celtics is similar to the original Grizzlies-no playoff superstar!

   Rondo is very good, and Turkoglu is also great, but when the two add up, their scoring ability in the anxious stage is not as good as Pierce alone.

In general, after two or three years of seasons in which the strengths of the teams were very close, last summer, the NBA reshuffled. In that way, only the strengths of the fourth and fifth places are close, and the other series are basically hanging.

   The Grizzlies can play 6 games with the Spurs. This is really the type of team that can mess up.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers, who were the first to advance to the second round, started the series opener with the Mavericks.

   After the Trail Blazers finished the first round of G2, they have already begun to think about the series with the Mavericks.

Mavericks starting lineup consisting of Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, Kirilenko, Nowitzki, Chandler; Barea, Terry, Beaubois, Butler, Peja, Haywood , Mahinmi, plus Cardinal and Pavlovic guarding the drinking fountains, the league's most expensive $105 million lineup is indeed strong, it can fill a truckload of dollars, and there is no waste.

In the last two months and the first round of the regular season, the Mavericks once again demonstrated the tyrannical strength they won last season. Nowitzki even relied on his performance in those two months before returning to the MVP rankings after many years. five.

   But for tonight's game, the Trail Blazers are very well prepared!

  In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers, centered on Gasol Jr., launched an offense around the mid-range shooting ability of the five starters, scoring 31 points in a single quarter!

  The Trail Blazers are determined to send away the parallel import champion who may win the best defensive player if they stay in the team, because of Bosh and Anthony's mid-range shooting ability.

   To deal with the Spurs and Mavericks, the two western rivals, you have to rely on the CIC.

   The Trail Blazers have been preparing for this tactic for a year, and it finally came in handy. They directly defeated the Mavericks' defense in the first quarter!

  The Trail Blazers also used this trick when they played against the Mavericks and Spurs in the regular season, but at that time it was just an attempt, the effect was not obvious, and some ideas were even wrong.

   Now, there is enough time to make targeted adjustments for an opponent who will play multiple games. The Trail Blazers really bring out the mid-range shooting ability of the five starters!

  The Mavericks were beaten dizzily and only scored 22 points in the first quarter.

  31 to 22, the Trail Blazers led by 9 points in the first quarter!

In the second quarter, the Silver Horn King began to show his power. He made 5 of 7 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers. Without free throws, he scored 12 points in a single quarter and led the team to 32 points. More points in the first quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, they had long guessed that the Mavericks would have a fierce response. There was no fear, and there was no rush to counterattack. They carried it steadily, scored 27 points in a single quarter, and still maintained 4 points at the end of the half. The lead was 58 to 54.

After returning from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers maintained continuity and scored 27 points in a single quarter again. The Mavericks, in the second quarter, entered the rhythm of the Silver Horn King singles leading the team. They did not adjust for a while and only scored 21 points. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 10 points, with a score of 85 to 75!

  In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 25 to 20, beat the Mavericks 110 to 95, and defended their first home game!

   Nowitzki scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. His performance was still excellent, but facing the Trail Blazers, he still lost his composure in last year's playoffs and this year's first round.

  He did help the Mavericks narrow the point difference in the second quarter, yes, but he also disrupted the Mavericks' entire game rhythm.

But Carlisle can understand Nowitzki's restlessness - he has been suppressed by the Trail Blazers for so many years, and because of the Trail Blazers, he suffered the darkest years of his career, and finally has the strength to beat the Trail Blazers. He is in a hurry.

   After all, Silver Horn King turns 33 next month.

  Even if the silver horn king can do it, his teammates are very old. Terry will be 34 years old this summer, and Peja will retire... and Chandler, who just turned 28, has just reached his peak.

  The Silver Horn King was also very speechless when he knew Chandler's age. He seemed to remember that Chandler was a player who entered the NBA at the same time as him. After playing for so many years, he was only 28 years old! Just reached the top!

   This growth period is too long.

  High school students are enviable, jealous and hateful...

  Carlisle looked at the data of the opposing players, Liu Xiu 27 points, Ray Allen 14 points, Anthony 16 points, Bosh 18 points, outlaw 17 points, Gasol Jr. 8 points and 6 assists...

  He really didn't expect the opponent to use such a concentrated tactic, 6 people shot 80 times!

  But they scored 100 points 80 times, and the other 4 players on the Trail Blazers made 10 shots and only scored 10 points.

  With their level of strength, Carlisle saw through the Trail Blazers' strategy in just one game—to smash the CIC advantage to death!

  But seeing through it doesn't mean it can be dealt with.

  The warden, the three-point king, the society east, and the long-necked dragon, these four can all be regarded as CIC experts in their respective positions!

   After the game, Carlisle analyzed the whole night and came to the conclusion that there is no clear chance of winning!

  This actually made him excited.

  Last season, they were invincible in the playoffs.

  Finally, someone who can fight has come!

   It has to be his warden!
