Noisy! Noisy! Fanatical!

The Nets players stood at the entrance of the tunnel, watching the cheerleading performance outside, feeling the extremely noisy atmosphere at the scene. They were surprised, it was even more noisy than the Palace of Auburn Hills!

Even Kidd and Richard Jefferson, who have played in two finals, were shocked when they felt the manic atmosphere at the scene.

The Devil's home stadium of the Jazz back then was nothing more than that, right?

They had heard about the Rose Bay Devils home court and saw it for the first time. The veteran Nets players were really surprised.

The Jazz relied on the two evils, relying on Sloan, and more than ten years of accumulation to have the devil's home court.

The Trail Blazers have only been around for two years, which is too exaggerated.

From this point, Kidd felt how special Liu Xiu was and how influential he was.

At this time, having no experience of the world + being confident is a good combination.

McGrady felt the mania at the scene, and he was naturally not afraid. He won two consecutive scoring championships, and his confidence had been built up. He just wanted to win!

His eyes were looking at the entrance to the players' tunnel on the opposite side... As a short-sighted person, he couldn't see anything.

But he seemed to be able to see that man in his eyes - the warden of Rose Bay Prison.

I don't know since when, the objects of his competition have changed from the Mesozoic bosses who have gradually entered the ranks of veterans to the leaders of this new generation.

Because, Iverson, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady have never been on the same level of competition. Iverson is the MVP and has led the team to the finals; Kobe is the second leader of the team in the dynasty and the leader of the double team, truly reaching the top of the league.

For a long time, McGrady's real rivals have been Carter, Pierce, Ray Allen and others. But Carter and Ray Allen don't like to compete with others in this aspect. Ray Allen has an aloof temperament, and Carter likes it.

In the duel, I had no time to deal with McGrady. Pierce had never won a second-team title and McGrady looked down on him.

He has never had that kind of real, particularly desired rival.

Now there is!

Once upon a time, Tracy McGrady didn't care about how talented others said he was. He didn't care about being rare in ten years or being ranked No. 1 in NBA history.

However, when Liu Xiu appeared, all these evaluations were transferred to Liu Xiu, and his talent was even more criticized.

McGrady doesn’t have to care, but he can’t live without her, and it can’t be someone else!

At 7:40 pm, the admission ceremony began, with the Nets taking the lead.

The first one to appear was Tracy McGrady, who immediately ignited boos from the fans at the scene.

McGrady is competing with Liu Xiu, and Trail Blazers fans are also very afraid of this "former most talented player". Liu Xiu is not that fond of the "number one genius" title, but the fans are particularly concerned about it.

Moreover, McGrady's unrestrained and often demeaning talk made Trail Blazers fans hate this opponent.

What McGrady said originally had many flaws, but it was modified and polished by the media before being published. It’s no wonder that Trail Blazers fans didn’t get angry after seeing it.

Generally speaking, when a visiting team player comes on the field, the boos are loud at first, gradually decrease in the middle, and finally reach a climax.

This was not the case when the Nets entered the Rose Garden Arena. When Kidd entered the arena, there was still some applause. There were fans at the tunnel exit shouting to Kidd, "Let's have a wonderful showdown..."

Who told Kidd to praise the warden even when everything was fine?

Of course, the idea of ​​deliberately stoking the relationship between McGrady and Kidd cannot be ruled out. Whether it will be effective is another matter. The atmosphere at the Trail Blazers' home court is indeed very good for the Trail Blazers.

When the home team came out, the Nets players felt that the manic atmosphere at the scene had actually gone up to a new level!

The fans cheered wildly, that kind of pride, pride, trust... Kidd was sour!

He has been working hard for the Nets for so many years, but the fans in Rutherford Town do not have such high enthusiasm.

There was no way, the fans at the scene were really excited. Under the influence of Liu Xiu's 'My Territory' BUFF, they became even more excited and fanatical.

Not long after the Trail Blazers entered the NBA, they became a top team. They won championships in the 1970s, had a good record in the 1980s, and reached the Finals in the 1990s... But it was more than ten years ago since the last Finals.

It’s been too long! It’s been too long!

Finally the day we have been waiting for has come!

Liu Xiu, who ran out of the tunnel with his teammates, felt the atmosphere of the scene and was filled with pride.

He just thought it was funny before, but now he really feels that Yao Ming is so miserable. The atmosphere at home is completely unlike playing basketball. The atmosphere of playing at Toyota Center. As a player, he feels like a monkey being watched by people in the zoo.

Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return.

Liu Xiu's ambitions, which have gradually grown during the regular season and playoffs this season, have now come to a head.

Pressure and responsibility have also come to his shoulders.

But compared to before entering the stadium, the pressure now is not that great and has become a more pure motivation.

Championship, I... No! Liu Xiu glanced at his teammates and thought to himself: Championship, we are here!

…

"You have been beaten by me since childhood, and it will be the same this time!"

"Everyone ages. Gary, you are already old. You were no longer my opponent in 2003!"

After the entrance ceremony, the players from the two teams had a cordial and friendly exchange.

It was mainly Payton and Kidd, long-time friends, who exchanged greetings, and the others basically didn't interact with each other.

Butcher + Little Flying Squirrel VS Tracy McGrady's pre-game scolding created a hostile atmosphere between the two teams.

The friendly exchanges between Payton and Kidd were quite ruthless and showed no mercy at all.

But even though Kidd's retaliate was so harsh, he was indeed very afraid of his opponent Payton.

In the 2003 playoffs, many people remember Duncan's epic performance of 24+17+5+1+5 per game in the finals. What they remember is McGrady's "I'm already thinking about the next round."

The most dominant performance that year should be the Nets sweeping their opponents in the second round and the Eastern Conference Finals. The Nets only lost two games in the Eastern Conference that year, defeating the Bucks 4-2 in the first round.

In two games, the man who led the Bucks to two wins over the Nets was Payton.

So Kidd won the match between the two, but in turn it also proved Payton's strength and Payton's restraint on Kidd. Billups led the Pistons, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, to a defeat by Kidd.

Germany swept, Payton led the Bucks, seventh in the Eastern Conference, to the Battle of Tianwang Mountain with Kidd.

Although Payton is older now, Kidd does not look down upon him at all. As Payton said, he has been beaten by Payton since he was a child, and there is a shadow in his heart...

Next, the two teams made the final preparations before the game. The game was about to start, and Liu Xiu's task prompt came.

"The 2003 generation is full of heroes and geniuses. As the leader of the 03 generation, the host has led the team to the finals. He should take the lead and become the first player of the 03 generation to win the championship as the core... The Master of the Era series of tasks: far ahead trigger

.

Goal: Win the 2004-2005 season championship.

Reward: Controller (talent tendency), if you win the championship in 6 games, you will be awarded an additional 10,000 healing points; if you win the championship in 5 games, you will be rewarded with 1 designated attribute point (if the designated attribute reaches the top level, it will be converted into an attribute card);

If you sweep and win the championship, you will receive an additional designated technical talent limit breakthrough card (no level limit)."

Seeing the players who won the championship in 2003, Liu Xiu thought of James Jones, who had already won the championship with the Pacers.

But the core is not there yet.

I don’t know if Wade’s 18th fall in 2006 will continue, but that’s not important, he will win the championship this year!

Regardless of extra rewards or anything else, you have to win first!

Liu Xiu chose the copy object of the ‘Great Magician’.

His teammate, naturally, is Little Flying Squirrel, who copies the talent of 'Flying Squirrel', and his plan is to use it to counter the opponent's defensive counterattack.

Opponent... Thanks to Kidd's absence in the last match, Liu Xiu tried to copy Nets players other than Kidd and Tracy McGrady, and this time he still copied that player.

"The Great Magician:

…

Opponent: Richard Jefferson, characteristic transformation talent: wing, bonus effect: 1. Positional battle, the host wing’s cutting speed without the ball +3, layup +3; 2. Fast break, when the team initiates a fast break

, if the host does not have a ball coming down from both sides, it will start at the fastest speed, speed +3, bounce +3, and bullet speed +3.”

Liu Xiu counted and found that his speed was 93, 'Flying Squirrel' counterattack +3, 'Flanker' counterattack without the ball +3, plus the fastest start... who else!

Just ask who else!

…

Liu Xiu finished applying powder and stepped onto the court with infinite pride.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaw, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Nets starting lineup: Kidd, McGrady, Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins, Mourning.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown responded with all his strength and beat Mourning to win the jump ball. The Trail Blazers attacked first!

After landing, Kwame Brown screamed and rushed towards the opposite basket, but was blocked by Kidd who moved out in advance. Mourning took the opportunity to move towards the basket.

Randolph on the flank entered the encirclement of Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins. After Mourning retreated to a close distance, Richard Jefferson immediately let go of Randolph and headed for the Outlaws.

Make up for it there.

At the same time, Kidd returned to the middle to guard Payton's advancing route. McGrady's defensive task was the simplest, just defend Liu Xiu quickly.

The Nets defended the opening fast break driven by the Trail Blazers' twin towers. They were well prepared and executed very well! But Payton showed excellent offensive organization skills and immediately passed the ball to the lawless maniacs.

After receiving the ball, the Outlaws rushed inside without hesitation. Richard Jefferson actively made up for it but was a little slow and was passed by the Outlaws.
