Healing Basketball

   Chapter 999 Chapter 999. Their stability is gone

   When the bullet speed reaches 90, Liu Xiu decides to replace the 'Xiaobawang's Knee Pads'. For him, the top bullet speed is enough, and he is going to put on silk stockings... no, it's 'Peter Pan's leggings'.

  The balance is slightly improved when jumping, the stagnation is slightly improved, and the rhythm of the pull-bar shooting is slightly improved... The role of this equipment, the stronger the strength, the better the physical fitness, the better the effect.

  However, after the bullet speed reaches the top level, if you want to improve it, you need 3 bullet speed + 1 attribute points.

   Later, I drew another attribute point that can be used immediately—explosive power +1, raised from 86 to 87.

   There are also 2 bounces, 1 speed, and 1 stamina, all converted into attribute cards.

  After lunch, Liu Xiu called the staff to ask about the departure time, and took off back to Portland in the evening.

  Being free, he checked the news to find out about the situation in the first round.

  The Spurs, after a 0-1 start, defended the second home game, and the Warriors returned to the first game at home to defend the home court advantage they had grabbed.

Ellis 30 points, Gay 23 points, Baron Davis 16 points, 12 rebounds and 17 assists, Harrington 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Pietrus 11 points and 7 rebounds, Biedrins 15 points and 10 rebounds ...The Warriors played like the bandits returned to the village, defeating the menacing Spurs 118 to 112.

  The two teams will continue to play against the Warriors at home tonight, playing the fourth game of the series.

  The Trail Blazers were not the only team that swept the promotion, and the miners were also killed.

   The Nuggets lost because of the soaring points and did not soar to win.

  In 4 games, Anthony averaged 27 points per game, Iverson averaged 25 points per game, and JR-Smith averaged 20.5 points per game.

   Lakers side, Bryant averaged 33.5 points, Deron averaged 21 points, David - West averaged 22 points.

  The average score in 4 games is 119.5 to 111. The biggest difference between the two teams is that the Lakers averaged 28.5 assists per game and the Nuggets averaged 19 assists per game.

  The Lakers mainly rely on team offense to score, and the Nuggets rely on star singles and counterattacks. However, the Lakers' shooting percentage is too high, with a 41.6% three-point shooting rate. The Nuggets have no counterattacks, only singles.

  The Spurs are the only team in the West at a disadvantage, and the Jazz also firmly suppressed the Mavericks 2-1.

   Nowitzki is also back!

  The development of singles is in good shape, and if you give him some actual playoffs, he will not be far from Dacheng.

  But the first actual target in the playoffs is Andrei Kirilenko who restrained him very much!

   Nowitzki averaged 21.7 points per game in 3 games, and his performance was not bad, but his 40% shooting rate and 31% three-point shooting rate were holding back the team.

However, Liu Xiu looked for some game highlights and found that Nowitzki is very different from the playoffs in the past two years. He averaged 21.6 points per game with a low shooting percentage. The king of horns has now dared to face Kirilenko with a large number of shots.

   The strongest performer in this series is of course Paul!

  50% shooting rate, averaging 24.7 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals and 1 block per game, his performance was impeccable.

  In the East, the Bulls and Cavaliers tied 2-2, and the number one in the East and West is at risk of being upset.

Although James only made 36% of his field goals and 25% of his three-pointers in the 4 games, his free throws were not bad. He averaged 13 free throws per game and made 9.5 of them. The most amazing thing is his improvement on the defensive end. Compared with Prince, it's a huge improvement!

  Although with the help of Larry Hughes and Big Z, James, who just faced Pierce, defended Pierce with only a 35.3% shooting rate. The efficiency is low, not to mention the second brother.

On the side of Little Giants and Beasts, the Pistons led the Magic 3-1. In the game that the Magic won, Lewis made 6 of 8 three-pointers, Turkoglu made 4 of 5 three-pointers. Eat cake, 8 of 14 free throws were okay, and he didn't make a move.

  The Raptors and the Knicks are currently leading 2-1 with the Knicks...

  Liu Xiu went to the Raptors forum and found that they were all talking about 'carelessness'.

   In G1, the Knicks lost 88 to 115 to the Raptors, but in G2, the Knicks narrowly won 90 to 86, and in G3 the Knicks won again 95 to 89, leading 2 to 1.

   With such a score, the Raptors didn't have any major injuries. Liu Xiu felt that the Raptors might have been careless.

  The Eastern Conference series that he cares most about is actually not the little giant and the beast, but the little apprentice's first playoff trip.

  The performance surprised Liu Xiu!

  The Eagles were not beaten and are currently 1 to 2 behind the Pacers.

  Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Bibby led the Eagles and Pacers to play very anxiously.

  Yi Jianlian played better than expected, played more time than the regular season, averaged 24 minutes per game, and scored 10.3 points and 4.7 rebounds.

The shooting rate is a bit miserable, only 41.4%, which is much lower than the regular season, but the opponent is the Pacers team with the most terrifying frontcourt. This shooting rate is also acceptable. Josh Smith's shooting rate is only 39%. .

  Liu Xiu also saw the news about their Trail Blazers team. He won three consecutive MVPs and swept the promotion. The mainstream speech is naturally exaggerated.

   But in forums with more information and more exchanges, fans have mixed reviews on their performance.

  The Suns performed so poorly after the All-Star Weekend. When it was determined that the Suns would play against the Trail Blazers, most people believed that the Trail Blazers would beat the Suns 4-1 or even sweep.

  Although it was true that they swept in the end, fans who watched the game know that it is not easy for the Trail Blazers to win every game!

  …

  In the evening, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team on the "Rose Bay Prison", and there was another wave of celebration after arriving home.

He didn't expect much for the three consecutive MVPs. He was very nervous when the awards were announced, but he never felt that his chances of winning the award were high, and he never mentioned the three consecutive MVPs to his family. Son, if you mention it, the family will have expectations, but if you don't get it in the end, what a disappointment.

   Now that it has never been mentioned but won the award in the end, it can give the family members a sense of surprise.

  Happy time is always short, really short. The next morning, Liu Xiu received a notice from the team to take another day off and go to Los Angeles tomorrow morning.

  Last night, when Liu Xiu’s family was celebrating, the Spurs and the Warriors played G4 in the series. The Warriors defeated the Spurs 109 to 95, who only made 4 of 15 three-pointers.

  Liu Xiu went to check the data. Not only did the Spurs shoot poorly from the three-point range, but the entire outside shooting felt like it had been frozen in the refrigerator overnight. The team made 31 of 80 shots, a 38.8% shooting rate.

   After reading the battle reports, news, and analysis, Liu Xiu discovered one thing—the Spurs players were in a panic when they failed to make a shot. There were 16 turnovers and 25 fouls in a single game!

   Could it be that this system has not been proven successful in the playoffs, so the Spurs players fell behind 1-2 and lost stability?

Thinking back to the Spurs in 2011 in the original time and space, apart from the fact that their opponents, the Grizzlies, were too fierce, Liu Xiu felt that the Spurs players had no confidence in whether the 'offensive basketball' could play well in the playoffs. big relationship.

  The Grizzlies were not in their best form that year. Gay was reimbursed, and Battier could only be used as the starter, which led to a decline in the defense of the rotation...otherwise the Spurs would not have won as many games as they did in two games.

  The current Spurs give Liu Xiu the feeling that they are not confident, playing chaotically, and losing their strongest stability in the past 10 years.

  …

  Going to Los Angeles tomorrow is nothing to Liu Xiu’s family. After receiving the team’s notice, the family immediately started packing their luggage and contacted the families of their teammates to ask if they want to go to Los Angeles together.

  The family members of the teammates were contacted out of politeness. Not surprisingly, except for Little Flying Squirrel and Hill, the family members of other teammates were not going to the away game, because Little Flying Squirrel and Hill had real estate in Los Angeles.

Randolph also bought a beach house at a low price in Los Angeles, but he has other girlfriends in Los Angeles, so he won’t take the one here, and give the girlfriend here space to go to his private life…

  In the afternoon, the three families took the "Rose Bay Prison" to Los Angeles. Liu Xiu, Hill, and Little Flying Squirrel still waited until tomorrow to set off with their teammates.

  The next afternoon, after the Trail Blazers arrived at the Villa Hotel in Los Angeles, they immediately put themselves into a state of preparation.

   Time passed day by day. On the Eastern side, the first team to advance was the Pistons, but the other teams had to wait for a long time to advance...

  In the West, the Jazz advanced to the third team. The Spurs returned home after falling behind 1-3 and won Game 5. However, after coming to Oakland again, the Spurs failed to continue and lost to the Warriors 106-111 away.

  The Warriors completed the miracle of the Black Eight and became the last team in the West to advance to the second round.

   The sensation of this matter is no less than Liu Xiu's three consecutive MVPs!

  Duncan felt the heat of the world. At the end of the regular season, he was evaluated as better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Now, it is said that he has lost his dominance in the playoffs...

  The Spurs' highly praised "Spurs system" was criticized as inferior to D'Antoni's running and bombing, saying that it was just Popovich's parody of D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics.

  In addition to attacking and mocking the Spurs, people turned their attention to the Bulls, the number one team in the Eastern Conference.

  The Bulls also had a tough first round.

However, the Cavaliers fans were disappointed. Although the Cavaliers dragged the series into the tiebreaker, in the tiebreaker, Pierce made 13 of 23 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. Minutes, James failed to respond.

   Plus Garnett's 13 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, Hinrich's 18 points and 8 assists.

  97 to 92, the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers, won the tiebreaker, and advanced to the second round 4 to 3.

The Raptors finally woke up after falling behind 1-2. Milicic averaged 22 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.7 blocks in the next 3 games, leading the Raptors to win 3 games in a row. 2 reversed the Knicks and advanced to the second round.

   In the first round, there is still the last series of undecided games-the Pacers, the second in the East, and the Eagles, the seventh in the East.

   But this does not affect the approaching of the second round. On the day of the tiebreaker between the Pacers and the Eagles, Liu Xiu has already arrived at the Staples Center, and they will also start the second round today.
