There is a saying that any team in the Western Conference that can reach the playoffs can beat the runner-up Nets. This statement is definitely impossible. The Nets and Spurs both reached G6. In G6, Duncan had 21 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

After an epic triple-double in the Finals, the Nets were defeated.

Relying on Duncan's exaggerated averages of 24.2 points, 17 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1 steal, and 5.3 blocks per game, the Spurs defeated the Nets with a difficult score of 4-2.

During the regular season, the Nets lose more than they win against the Western Conference playoff teams. This does not mean that the Western Conference can defeat the Nets in a series by randomly recruiting any playoff team.

The resilience in the post-game was obvious to all.

But most teams in the Western Conference naturally suppress the Nets. This is true, just like Duncan played an outrageous 24+17+5+5 performance against the Nets in seven games of the Finals.

When the Trail Blazers found the feeling of the game, the twin towers of Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, played by Kenyon Martin, really made me want to cry!

Tianzun's body shape is almost the same as Duncan's, one size larger than Kenyon Martin.

Randolph, who is about the same height as Kenyon Martin, is also a bit bigger than him.

The Trail Blazers started 2-11 and ended the first quarter 25-27. That is, they scored 23-16 in more than 8 minutes. The Blazers were very powerful. In the first half of the second quarter, the Nets

Very difficult.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Nets led the Nets 38-34 by 4 points and entered the official timeout. During this period, the Trail Blazers attacked the Nets again and scored 13-7.

The Nets averaged less than 90 points per game this season, but scored 31 points per game on counterattacks, fast breaks, transitions between offense and defense, more than one-third of their total points.

The basis for supporting the Nets' performance is their defensive performance.

When you can't defend yourself, there's no way to fight back.

However, the Nets are very resilient, and Kidd has been encouraging his teammates and waiting for opportunities.

The Nets are now suffering a blow, leading 11-2 by 9 points at the start and reaching 34-38.

That is, Kidd, the superstar who joined the Nets in the summer of 2001 and led the Nets from 26 wins to 56 losses to first place in the Eastern Conference and the finals, can keep his teammates patient.

The opportunity came in the second half of the second quarter!

The impact of the Trail Blazers' back-to-back is coming. Their positional battle performance and counterattack effect are greatly reduced compared to the first half!

The Nets went ahead with an 11-5 run and regained a 2-point lead over the Trail Blazers at 45-43.

Maurice Cheeks tried his best to adjust and replaced the double point guard combination of Xiaofei Squirrel and Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu caught Corey Kittles guarding him and hit him twice, forcing Kidd to switch to him. Then, it was the Flying Squirrel's turn to fight the Nets in isolation.

The little flying squirrel doesn't play much time every night, but his physical reserves are quite good.

In the last 3 minutes of the first half, Liu Xiu and Xiao Fei Squirrel each scored 4 points.

The characteristics of the Nets are revealed again: if their opponents score well, their scoring performance is poor.

Fortunately, they did not continue to counterattack this time and performed well in positional warfare, scoring 7 points during this period.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers entered the halftime break trailing the Nets by 1 point, 51 to 52!

…

After a hard-fought quarter, the score difference was only narrowed by 1 point. Randolph complained a bit when he returned to the locker room at halftime.

Liu Xiu shrugged and responded: "It's better that the gap continues to widen. At least we narrowed the gap by 1 point."

After hearing this, Randolph thought for a while and nodded: "The warden is right!"

The representatives of the team's internal and external talents are so open-minded, and the teammates who were a little frustrated at first felt that it made sense.

During the halftime break, the Trail Blazers coaching staff and players all used their brains to think about how to play the second half of the game and actively offered suggestions.

It is difficult to make major adjustments during timeouts and breaks between sections. Now we can take advantage of Liu Xiu's outstanding counterattack performance tonight.

It is not a new thing for Liu Xiu to lead his teammates to counterattack, but he was in particularly good form tonight, so there was no sense of disobedience when his teammates cooperated.

Travis Outlaw learned something again and wrote it down in a small notebook...

The lawless fanatics firmly believe in what the warden said and are not afraid of discovering their own ignorance. It will be even more terrifying when one day you feel that you don’t need to learn anything.

…

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers regained their strength and once again launched a wave of fierce attacks.

Randolph was fierce in the positional battle, Tianzun did a good job in supporting and following up the counterattack, Liu Xiu grabbed the basket and the Nets counterattacked surprisingly well... When Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Tianzun were on the court at the same time in the half quarter, the Blazers

The team beat the Nets 17-8!

At the official timeout of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers had an 8-point lead at 68-60!

With more adjustment time, more rest time, and better use of their advantages, the Trail Blazers' performance is completely aimed at destroying the Nets' confidence.

However, with the experience in the second half of the second quarter and Kidd, a superstar who impressed every Nets player, the Nets players held firm!

In the second half of the third quarter, Liu Xiu and Randolph were still on the court, and Tianzun went down to rest... It seemed like they were just missing one strong point, but the actual loss was more than half of their strength!

No one in the Trail Blazers can make up for Tianzun's role in protecting the frame!

The Nets defeated the Trail Blazers 17-9 in the second half of the third quarter!

After three quarters, with Kidd’s 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, the Nets tied the score and entered the inter-quarter break!

…

Tied and entering the final quarter!

After three quarters, it was rare for both teams to be very happy with this result.

The score is 77 to 77. No matter what, the two teams will fight to the end.

Kidd stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and looked at the data comparison on the big screen.

The best performance of the Nets is naturally his ranking first in the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists.

Trail Blazers...Liu Xiu! 13 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal!

Liu Xiu grabbed rebounds many times tonight and started counterattacks. Kidd watched with great admiration.

It's not about those 8 assists, it's about Liu Xiu not starting a fast break with the purpose of getting assists, but with the purpose of creating better fast break scoring opportunities for the whole team.

This is what Kidd admires about Liu Xiu.

If Liu Xiu starts a fast break with the purpose of getting assists, based on Liu Xiu's passing status tonight, Kidd feels that Liu Xiu will definitely have double figures in assists.

Kidd didn't want to see his first-place performance of four triple-doubles in his rookie season tied, but now it seems like he has no chance to run.

Inexplicably, Kidd became competitive... He wanted to compete with Liu Xiubo!

Kidd, who had just emerged, and was already in his thirties, immediately took control. He was already past that age...
Chapter completed!
