MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1054 Full suppression!

  Chapter 1054 1054. Full suppression!

   Stern looked at the Trail Blazers with 11 games left and thought of an incredible situation.

   Not only him, many people thought of that possibility.

  The topic of media hype, after the Trail Blazers won 60 wins, also shifted from 23VS24 and NCAA March Madness to them.

  The entire basketball world is analyzing the Blazers' style of play.

  Some people say that the Trail Blazers are imitating the Spurs system and have received a lot of recognition. From the perspective of team play, the Trail Blazers can see a lot of Spurs' shadows.

  But there are many who disagree with this statement, because the performance of the Trail Blazers is stronger and more amazing than last year's Spurs.

   Fans who support the Trail Blazers imitating the Spurs system give a counterargument to this view-the Blazers have a stronger lineup than the Spurs.

  Some people say that the Trail Blazers are the first strong offensive team in the contemporary basketball era that no longer regards shooting three-pointers as a "tactic".

Whether it was the Suns during the running and bombing period, or the current one-star Cavaliers and the one-robber four-shot Magic, it can be seen that their three-pointers are mostly tactical choices, and they have tactics. Depends, they need to shoot a good three to win.

  Even for the Lakers, the three-pointer tactic is a very important part of the latest version of the triangle offense system.

  Teams with three-point shooters will build tactics around three-pointers that can "get 1 more point".

But the Trail Blazers are different. For them, three-pointers are just an option. They can win by making 15 three-pointers. Three points win.

Some people say that the Trail Blazers have shown people what is called a real "point forward". KING's offense is called a "point forward". Husband Francis.

  The Trail Blazers here, Hill and Diaw, are really combing the offense in series.

They take on the important task of organizing and attacking in the game, but they are not the focus of the ball. Even when they do not perform well with the ball, they can play off the ball. When the state is really poor, the team can even use them. There are also other ways to play a good offense, instead of losing their team's offense and collapsing.

  There's so much more to say these days about what sets the Blazers apart from other teams...

  Before the Trail Blazers won 60 wins, people's attention was focused on the extremely hot 23VS24 head-to-head and air competition.

  At that time, there were not so many sayings.

   But when they had a record-breaking possibility, the rhetoric sprung up.

  …

Being the focus, the new players were very restless at first, but seeing the attitude of the old players on the team, the new players felt that their reaction was too 'earthy', and imitated the old players, pretending not to care Accepting interviews and talking with the media... It feels extraordinarily cool!

   This is a process, every new player who came to the Trail Blazers in recent years is like this, and you get used to it over time.

   Two days of rest passed, and on March 27, the game day for the Trail Blazers vs. the Lakers arrived.

   At 7:40 p.m., the Lakers entered the court first

  "Los Angeles Lakers, 60 wins and 11 losses, averaging 106.9 points per game, conceding 97.3 points per game, shooting 48.4% from the field, limiting opponents to 44.9% from the field..."

  After defeating the Nuggets in an away game the day before yesterday, the Lakers became the second team to win 60 wins this season!

   There are 11 games left. Although the Lakers lost the chance to tie the Bulls' highest wins, they still have a chance to surpass the Trail Blazers' 70 wins and 12 losses, the second highest wins in history.

"Kobe Bryant, 30 years old, 198 cm, 96 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 99...Played 70 games, averaged 30.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.5 assists...Shooting 51.3% from the field and three-pointers 40.2 percent shooting, 87 percent free-throw shooting…”

   With the assistance of Deron, Wang Zhizhi, and Odom, Kobe played the season with the highest offensive efficiency in his career so far this season.

  Although the scoring average is the lowest in four seasons, the shooting percentage is a career high in all aspects!

This month, Kobe was full-time, averaging 33 points per game in 14 games, and achieved a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, second only to the Trail Blazers' 12 wins and 1 loss, and his personal scoring average rose rarely in March The star returned to average 30+ per game.

  After reading the Lakers team report and Kobe's player detection report, Liu Xiu was excited and felt tremendous pressure.

Tonight's game is highly anticipated. So far this month, the Best Player of the Month Award in the Western Conference has been locked between him and the Great God. The performance of other players in the Western Conference has been separated by him and the Great God. qualitative gap.

  Of course he wants this award!

   When the home team entered the field, when Liu Xiu led his teammates into the field, he also felt the hot gaze from the opposite side... He could feel that the Great God is also determined to win the best of the month!

After entering the arena, the two teams exchanged pleasantries. As usual, Liu Xiu pointed out the direction for Sun Yue to improve, and greeted Brother Da Zhi without chatting too much. Finally, he and the noble and glamorous Great God exchanged opinions. wave.

The starting lineup of the two teams has not changed. The Lakers sent a combination of Deron, Kobe, Ariza, David West, and Wang Zhizhi; the Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kua. The May-Brown combo.

Before the All-Star Weekend, the two teams actually had quite a lot of injuries, but Zen Master’s physical strength distribution has been very strong. There are many minor injuries but no one suffers major injuries. Before the All-Star Weekend, I really don't care about the record. During the 20-game winning streak, the players should rest and never be greedy for the record... To get 20 consecutive victories, the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers was also very surprised.

   Now, even Zen Master, who has won 72 wins, wants to win all the remaining games!

  Especially tonight's game and the final game of the regular season against the Trail Blazers, he must win!

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

   Kwame Brown defeated Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball. The Lakers had full confidence in Wang Zhizhi's jump ball, and directly prepared to defend against the opening fast break, forcing the Blazers to fall into a positional battle.

  Different from the brisk offense of the Trail Blazers, the Lakers averaged high points per game, but had a moderate rhythm and focused on positional warfare.

  Liu Xiu's offensive performance at the beginning was not good. Although he had a "reasonable" bonus copied from Kobe, he tried to choose the best shot, but he still made 0 of 3 shots in the start.

  The Lakers started off very well defensively.

  However, Kobe’s performance at the beginning was similar. He made 0 of 2 shots and got a foul, but Kwame Brown made a serious foul. Kobe missed the first free throw and only made the second free throw. He only scored 1 point in the half quarter.

  In the second half of the first quarter, Ray Allen worked hard and scored two three-pointers in a row, which ignited Liu Xiu's shooting touch!

At 9 minutes and 58 seconds, Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a three-pointer, followed by a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, scoring 5 points in a row. He and Ray Allen played a wave of 11-7 together, and the Trail Blazers Overtake the Lakers by two points!

After the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 2 of 7 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, beating Deron who scored 6 points and 2 assists, leading the Blazers. The Boston Celtics entered the intermission with a 24-23 overtake of the Lakers by 1 point.

   Although Kobe scored 5 points in the first quarter, he only made 1 of 5 shots, and only scored 5 points by making 3 of 4 free throws.

   In the second quarter, Liu Xiu and Kobe continued their inefficient performance in the first quarter, but the two teams made better use of each other's defense against the opponent's strongest scorer.

David West made 3 of 5 shots, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter. Deron scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists. 3 of 3, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 7 points... The team scored 30 points in a single quarter!

   On the other side, Randolph also scored 10 points in a single quarter! The efficiency of 4 of 9 shots and 2 of 2 free throws does not seem high, but he has 3 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, so that his teammates can safely and boldly shoot.

Liu Xiu made 1 of 4 shots in this quarter and scored a three-pointer. In addition to Wang Zhizhi's three-second defensive free throw, he scored 4 points, but he still had 2 rebounds and 5 assists. Ray Allen scored 5 points, France 6 points from outsiders... The Trail Blazers scored 32 points in a single quarter, once again overwhelming the Lakers!

  The Lakers are in very good condition and performed well. When the defensive goal is achieved, the offensive performance is also online, but the performance of the Trail Blazers is even better!

   After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 3 points 56 to 53!

In the third quarter, the Lakers did not start from the offensive end. They tried in the second quarter, but failed. Randolph, Ray Allen, and the outlaws performed very well. Rhythm, they succeeded in this, but the offensive efficiency of the Trail Blazers in the second quarter continued.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on their offensive rebounding advantage and faster pace. They took as many as 26 shots in a single quarter. In the third quarter, they only took 16 shots in a single quarter, but they made 8 of 16 shots and a shooting rate as high as 50%. 2 of 5 points, plus 7 of 10 free throws scored 25 points in a single quarter!

In addition to outstanding offensive performance, the Trail Blazers made good use of the inside defensive lineup of Birdman, Kwame Brown, and Gasol to prevent the Lakers from making 8 of 20 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 3 of 5. free throws and only scored 21 points!

   After three quarters, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 7 points, leading the Lakers 81 to 74!

In the final quarter, the Lakers gave it a go. Kobe started the West Coast style of play, and after being blocked by the Trail Blazers for 3 quarters, he soared. Got 14 points.

  But the teammates continued their inefficient offensive performance in the third quarter. The teammates took 12 shots and only scored 10 points.

   On the other side, Liu Xiu did not follow Kobe, he chose a reasonable way of playing for Ray Allen.

  Ray Allen made 5 of 9 shots in the final quarter. Although he did not make free throws, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers and scored 13 points in a single quarter!

  Liu Xiu scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in a single quarter. He did his best in defense and passing, and led the team to win the Lakers by 25 to 24 in the final quarter by 1 point!

   At 10:25 p.m., the game ended.

Kobe made 9 of 25 shots tonight, including 3 of 9 three-pointers and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game. Scoring is limited.

   Liu Xiu made 8 of 23 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He only scored 24 points on 23 shots, but he still had 12 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks!

  The Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers 106-98, won 5 consecutive victories, and improved their record to 63 wins and 9 losses!

   The Trail Blazers and the Lakers scored 2 wins and 1 loss this season!

   After the final whistle sounded, Kobe left with a shake of his hands. It was too aggrieved to lose!

The points are almost the same, just 8 points, but the Lakers lost every quarter, 1 point, 2 points, 4 points, 1 point, and only lost a little bit in each quarter, but that is the little bit, the Lakers lost every quarter. The morale of the team is declining because of that little point difference, and the confidence is also declining.

  Kobe failed to drive the team with 14 points in the last quarter because of this.

   But it also shows the strong strength and stability of the Trail Blazers!

  …

  The Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers head-on, and the balance of the Player of the Month award was tilted towards the Trail Blazers. Public opinion generally believed that as long as the Trail Blazers did not lose all of their last two games, Liu Xiu's Player of the Month award would be decided.

  In addition to this, there is another topic about Liu Xiu that is very hot-the warden is bullying the "new triple double king" from the air.

On the 25th, when the Hornets defeated the Thunder, Guigui scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, and won his 10th triple-double this season, tying Liu Xiu’s performance in his rookie season and tied for second place in the rookie triple-double list .

  The nickname of "Little Warden" has been hung on Westbrook this year.

   As a result, Liu Xiu immediately got her 11th triple-double and once again occupied the top spot in the triple-double rankings this season.

   Don't give any face to the turtles who use him as a template!

  However, Guigui's new template is the warden. This matter is not well recognized.

  Liu Xiu's rookie year of play was selfless and non-sticky. He had 10 triple-doubles and averaged only 4.6 assists per game. Turtle's possession rate was higher than Paul and Wade, and second only to James.

  And Liu Xiu's shooting rate in his rookie year is quite good, with a performance of 46.5%, and Guigui's shooting rate is less than 40%.

Turtle fans are also dissatisfied with this nickname. In their minds, Westbrook will surpass Liu Xiu in the future... The Hornets still have 11 games to play, and may surpass Liu Xiu's triple-double in his rookie season. It is equivalent to surpassing Liu Xiu...

But Liu Xiu has no time to care about the number of triple-doubles of Guigui... It doesn’t matter whether it is right or not, there is no chance to educate Guigui again, and the regular season has finished all 4 matches, unless the Hornets reach the second round of the playoffs , it is possible to play against each other again, and the Hornets can't fall to the seventh and eighth positions.

   Now, Liu Xiu has a bigger goal...

   After a day off, on March 29, the game day for the Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks arrived.

   At noon, an interview made the Trail Blazers fans into a carnival, as if the man's rhetoric had come true...

   "Yes, I am ready, our goal is to surpass the Bulls!"
