Actually got the MVP vote!

Liu Xiu was quite happy.

It's tragic to say that the last time a Trail Blazers player got an MVP vote was in the 1998-99 season, and Tianzun got a fifth vote.

In the end, Duncan still failed to win three consecutive MVP awards. Living in this era, Liu Xiu felt very regretful to see Duncan play the most efficient season in his career but failed to win three consecutive MVP awards.

Garnett's performance is indeed amazing...

After sighing with emotion, Liu Xiu no longer focused on these things that were far away from him, and concentrated on preparing for the next series with the Lakers.

In the evening, two more games were played in the playoffs.

The Kings, who were trailing 1 to 3, were on the verge of elimination. The players had the idea of ​​​​cooperating together again, but the Lakers were worthy of being an aristocratic team. They started loosely and sloppily, and the Kings scored 37 points in the first quarter!

The Kings entered the second quarter with a 13-point lead over the Lakers, 37-24.

The Lakers regained consciousness in the second quarter and scored 33 points in a single quarter, but they were also scored by the Kings with 30 points. The Lakers chased the score to 57-67 at halftime.

In the second half, the Lakers continued to chase points, 33 to 29 in the third quarter, narrowing the point difference to 6 points. In the final quarter, relying on Kobe's 13 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, the Lakers scored 28 to 22 and scored 61 to 51 in the second half.

.

As the Kings missed their last attack, the Lakers tied the Kings 118-118 and entered overtime!

In overtime, the Kings only had Bibby with 5 points, and the Lakers' OK combination led the team with 12 points.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings 130-123 in overtime and advanced 4-1 to meet the Trail Blazers in the second round!

Kobe scored 40+ points in a single playoff game for the third time in his career, with 42 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

In another game, the Heat, trailing 3-1, returned home to face the Hornets.

Wade couldn't stop crying.

He's such a rookie that he can't move!

Why is it that the Warden often has teammates playing C, but here he is the only one playing C?

He can't even deal with Baron Davis, let alone anyone else.

But this man's luck, that's it. Before, Odom was distracted, Eddie Jones regressed, Caron Butler lost his temper...everyone was in a panic tonight!

Odom had 14 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Eddie Jones made three consecutive three-pointers in the opening game and ended up with 25 points. Caron Butler made 9 of 17 shots and scored 21 points and 11 rebounds. Wade had 11 points.

4 rebounds and 4 assists...The Heat defeated the Hornets 89-83, chasing the big score to 2-3!

Only then did Wade realize that his teammates were so aggressive with each other! He was really just a younger brother!

…

…

"Newcomer King (Endless Mode):

Current status: The host has led his team to the second round and is about to play against the Lakers.

In the series with the Lakers, the host can receive rewards every time he scores data.

Scores, rebounds, and assists will be rewarded with 50 healing points for each additional value. Steals and blocks will be rewarded with 100 healing values ​​for each additional value.

Each time the team wins a game, 5000 healing points will be awarded.

When the host leads the team to gain match point, subsequent goals will be launched.

Charge, Newcomer King!"

After the Lakers were promoted, Liu Xiu received an update on the mission content.

Comparing the goal related to the Grizzlies and the goal related to the Lakers, it truly feels "endless".

Time has arrived in May, and a new competition month has arrived.

When the Lakers advanced to the second round and it was truly confirmed that their opponent was the Lakers, the Trail Blazers became more active in their preparations.

Liu Xiu, who was playing in the playoffs for the first time, was very enthusiastic in preparing for the game and was full of energy every day. He felt that he could learn something every day, which made his teammates envious.

This energy, this physical strength...why are you so lazy?

Let’s not talk about laziness. I don’t train myself, but I still urge my teammates to train. But this guy is really good at guiding others to train! Not only do his teammates not want to refuse, but they have to take the initiative to ask for advice when they encounter problems in training... especially when practicing boxing and playing games.

In terms of children's equipment, this guy's professionalism far exceeds that of the team's trainer!

The Trail Blazers, Lakers, Nets, and Pistons, these four teams clearly know who their opponents are, and preparations for the game are in progress in an orderly manner. The Pacers are in pain, and the Heat, with Odom waking up, seems to be

They won't lose easily, but the Hornets still lead 3-2.

On the other side, the Texas civil war between the Mavericks and the Spurs became increasingly fierce, and the Timberwolves failed to crush the Nuggets to death even if they wanted to.

On the night of May 1st, Anthony and his teammates rose up. Anthony had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Nene had 19 points and 14 rebounds, and Andre Miller had 20 points and 8 assists... relying on Anthony's accuracy in the last 11 seconds.

The buzzer-beating mid-range shot was made, and the Nuggets took a 91-90 lead at the last moment.

Cassell missed the buzzer-beating mid-range shot, and the Nuggets narrowly won by 1 point, chasing the lead to 2-3.

Anthony invited some family and friends from his hometown to watch his first playoff game.

These relatives and friends discovered that Anthony had changed his mind at some point.

In the past, Anthony was easier to give up, but now it is different. Even if he knows there is no chance, he still has to give it a try.

After the Nuggets fell behind 3-1, Anthony said in an interview, "The fact that we are about to be eliminated means we haven't been eliminated yet."

From what Anthony's relatives and friends knew about him, Anthony as a child could not say this...

…

Time passes day by day, and no matter how intense and anxious the series is, it will eventually come to an end.

On May 2, Odom scored 14 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Caron Butler scored 23 points. The two of them dragged the rookie Tiehanhan, who only scored 13 points on 5 of 18 shots, to an 85-77 victory.

The Hornets tied the score.

On May 4, with Odom's 13 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Wade 14 points and 5 assists, Eddie Jones 16 points, Alston 12 points, Caron Butler 15 points, 5 Heat players scored

In double figures, the Hornets were crushed, 93-69!

The Heat reversed the Hornets 1-3 and advanced to the second round.

After this series, the values ​​of Odom and Caron Butler have been rising steadily. Especially Caron Butler, who averaged only 9 points per game in the regular season, has become a target for teams aiming to strengthen pitchers.

Sweet pastry in the eyes.

Everyone can see that the Heat definitely want to trade Caron Butler.

After the Nuggets struggled for one game, in G6, they were happily kicked out by the Timberwolves 75-100. After winning two games, the Nuggets fans were already very satisfied.

The first round of this year reached the theoretical limit of the schedule. On May 1st, the Spurs won the battle of Tianwangshan at home. On May 3rd, the Mavericks tied the score 3-3 at home, and the two teams entered the tiebreaker!

…

…

Whoever wins between the Spurs and the Mavericks, the Timberwolves should have a headache, while other teams are more just watching the fun... and there are also headaches.

Taking too long a break is also a worry for happiness.

Many of the young players on the Trail Blazers are getting tired of waiting.

They are very enthusiastic, and the more enthusiastic they are, the easier it is to become restless.

It’s been too long!

Finally, on the morning of May 5, the Lakers' charter flight landed at Portland International Airport, which cheered up the Trail Blazers players! They became more active and patient in the afternoon training.

Tomorrow, they will face the Lakers at home!

After the afternoon training, the coach said to the chief assistant: "Kevin, I'm right, don't worry, they will adjust themselves."

Kevin Plitchar said angrily: "Aren't you worried that we have rested for too long and are in poor condition?"

"Have you rested for too long?" Maurice Cheeks looked around after hearing this and found: "Warden, are you worried that we are not in good condition after resting for too long?"

"Ah?" Liu Xiu was suddenly stopped. After reacting, he replied: "I would be happier if we could rest for another week."

Kevin Pritchar asked strangely: "Aren't you all impatient with waiting?"

"We are impatient to wait, but it's just because we want to play against the OK combination and can't wait any longer. If rest affects the state, the Lakers are definitely more anxious than us. Malone is almost 41 years old."

After the warden finished speaking, the coach looked at the warden, and the warden looked at the coach. At this moment, both of them felt that the other was a close friend!

The chief assistant coach feels that this is a myth, but I have to say that it really makes sense!

From the warden's tone, the chief assistant teacher could hear the feeling of 'I have the advantage'.

Not only is he the chief assistant coach, but after the Lakers came to Portland this morning, when his teammates chatted with Liu Xiu about the upcoming game, the more they talked, the more they felt that they had a great chance of winning.

I don’t know why, but my self-confidence just increased.

…

Speaking of confidence, we have to mention the Lakers, who just came to Portland today.

As for the Trail Blazers, they need their 13th overall pick to help the coach whenever anything happens and help his teammates improve their confidence.

The Lakers' 13th overall pick doesn't have to put in any of this effort.

Other teams do not have home field advantage, so they will go to the away game in advance to feel the atmosphere of the away game, get used to the hostility of the away fans, and put themselves in that environment...

Lakers no!

They were promoted on April 30. After confirming on the 3rd that the first game of the second round would start on the 6th, they only came to the away game on the 5th today.

This can't even be called self-confidence. It can be described as arrogant and conceited, but no one thinks they are wrong.

At night, the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki's 22 points, Finley's 18 points, Nash's 17 points and 10 assists, Ratliff's 7 points and 13 rebounds and a career playoff record of 8 blocks.

Defeated the Spurs 102-93, 4-3, and eliminated the defending champion in the first round.

After learning that the Spurs were eliminated in the first round, the Lakers players, who were already highly confident, felt that they had no opponents in this year's playoffs!

Not only the Lakers players thought so, when the Spurs were eliminated in the first round, public opinion generally believed that the Lakers had no opponents in the Western Conference!
Chapter completed!
