Healing Basketball

  Chapter 872 Chapter 872. There is still a defense for a while

   The first game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers has attracted much attention.

  Compared with the Nuggets, the Lakers, which has a complete tactical system and better coordination among players, have a higher upper limit in the eyes of the media and experts.

  After the game, the evaluations given by the media were similar—the Lakers improved a lot compared to last season, while the Trail Blazers, compared to last season, had a very obvious decline in strength.

   This has been evident in the regular season.

  Raheem is more adapted to the role of the substitute and has become a better substitute, but he has lost the star attributes of Ginobili, Odom and others.

   Little Flying Squirrel, there was a significant decline last season, and this year it has fallen even more. Occasionally, it can be C, but it is really only occasionally.

  In addition to these two, players other than the Trail Blazers' starting lineup are either Blake's capable but not top-notch players, or functional players. Compared with last season's lineup, it is indeed much worse.

The outlaw lunatic and Kwame Brown in the starting lineup are also functional players, but they are more comprehensive when they cooperate with the three major stars, such as Kwame Brown's bottom line mid-range shot and support, and the outlaw lunatic's straight Sudden points.

  Based on the fact that the G1 point difference is only 3 points, the judgment made by the media-the Trail Blazers may lose to the Lakers in the second round.

   When Liu Xiu learned about this kind of public opinion from his family, he felt too familiar and used to it.

  When they won 70 last year, as long as they lost a game, there would be such public opinion.

   This is also the reason why he was unwilling to actively receive external information during the playoff round series. His mentality would be affected to some extent, and there would be almost no positive feedback.

  However, he agrees with what the media said about the situation of their Trail Blazers this time, because it is indeed the case.

   Received the honor, the human touch of the big dog is as strong as it is, one summer, half a season of the regular season, there is no deal...

   But Liu Xiu is used to this situation and accepts it.

   They are indeed not as strong as last season's overall strength, but he is stronger!

  If there is any difficulty in front of you, just break through it!

  …

   After a day off, on May 10th, the game day for the second game of the series arrived.

   At noon, the NBA officially announced the final award of the regular season-the best team.

   All-Rookie Team.

  First team: Roy and Foye of the Timberwolves, Gay of the Warriors, Bargnani of the Supersonics, Garbajosa of the Raptors, and Aldridge of the Hornets were selected.

  Second team: Rondo of the Celtics, Terrence Thomas of the Bulls, Adam Morrison and Walter Herman of the Bobcats, and Millsap of the Trail Blazers were selected.

  Teammates may win prizes, and Liu Xiu also came to the lounge to watch the live broadcast at noon.

  Seeing this best rookie team, he didn't know how to describe this rookie.

  Anyway, Rondo is quite interesting, averaging 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

   Best Defensive Team.

  A round: Hinrich, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Kwame Brown.

  Second Team: Liu Xiu, Raja Bell, Bowen, Artest, Camby.

   Seeing this list, it was beyond Liu Xiu's expectations.

   Hinrich and Kwame Brown went straight to the first defense!

   Fortunately, Hinrich said that he has that ability.

  Kwame Brown...Liu Xiu thinks it's almost.

   But on closer inspection, the center position is indeed empty!

  Liu Xiu can understand why in the original time and space, Camby can brush up two first defenses by swiping data... But if there is one who can support it, it will not be Camby's turn.

  However, both double 21s were placed in the forward position, and Bowen and Artest, who stood at the small forward position to defend the fixed point, were sent to the second defense!

   Best team.

   One team: Liu Xiu, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Second team: Nash, Billups, McGrady, James, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Milicic, among them Billups and McGrady have the same vote, Milicic and Stoudemire have the same vote .

   Three teams: Arenas, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Howard.

  The Blazers team has only Liu Xiu as a single seedling!

   Randolph is okay. He performed very well in April and the playoffs were very fierce, but he was not worthy of the best team in the first few months of the regular season.

  But Ray Allen is really not seen by the media!

   Liu Xiu remembers that Ray Allen in the original time and space averaged 25+ per game in two seasons, but he was not selected to the best team. He was in the best team twice in his 18-year career.

   It is the All-Star substitute selected by the coaches. Ray Allen has been selected 10 times and has the capital to enter the Hall of Fame.

  However, there is only one seedling in the best team with 60 wins, and it is not only the Trail Blazers, but also the Spurs and Bulls.

  On Yao Ming's side, there is Billups, a second-team teammate.

   Liu Xiu is the only one who cares about the number of players in the best team. Others, including Ray Allen, are already used to this kind of treatment.

   It's not surprising that Liu Xiu won the award. He was selected as the No. 1 champion of parallel imports, and was "blackmailed" by the butcher to treat guests to Las Vegas after the playoffs.

   Randolph heard that during the All-Star Weekend, Kwame Brown was taken by Anthony to a members-only nightclub to have fun.

  Millsap was selected to the rookie second team, thanks to his 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in the 2006 class.

   Good luck, so more happy.

  …

  At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers once again ushered in the challenge of the Lakers at home.

  The morale of both sides is very high now, they won the prize.

  Both teams have first team and first defense. The Trail Blazers have Liu Xiu first team and Kwame Brown first defense.

   It is still more aggressive to defend first. After the game started, Kobe took the lead and led the Lakers to a score of 35 to 28 in the first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 7 points and entering the intermission.

   7 of 8 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, 18 points in a single quarter, Kobe was extremely brutal in this quarter!

   But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers suppressed the Lakers' scoring. The method was very simple, double-teaming Kobe, and the wing pitcher caught the ball and threw it into the Trail Blazers.

  Unfortunately, the Lakers' wing shooters are not accurate tonight. Of course, this is also related to the Blazers' high-intensity defensive strategy.

   But it was suppressed, mainly compared with the first quarter. In this quarter, Kobe made 4 of 8 shots and 1 of 1 free throws to score 9 points. He led the team to score 25 points in a single quarter. His performance was still good.

  But the Trail Blazers also scored 25 points in this quarter, Liu Xiu scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph 9 points, Ray Allen 5 points, Kwame Brown 6 points...

   In the third quarter, the Blazers' defensive strategy of strengthening confrontation really took effect!
