513. Rise up!

Before the start of G3, when the Trail Blazers players were interviewed, they did not reject the idea of ​​sweeping the championship. Liu Xiu certainly would not reject this idea. He may be the one who wants to sweep the Nets the most.

As a result, they lost the away game by 13 points. Judging from the whole game, it was considered a disastrous defeat. At this moment, Liu Xiu felt a little pain in his face, which was slapped on his face.

In addition, seeing the description of the reward for sweeping and winning the championship in the "Far Ahead" mission dimmed, Liu Xiu was really heartbroken!

The talent limit breakthrough card! He only got it once!

The media's clumsy nature is still the same. On the way back to Greentown Villa, Little Flying Squirrel, who attended the post-game press conference, complained wildly that the Nets had won only one game. The reporters' questions made him feel that the Nets had completed the Mavericks' style.

It was the same as the 4-2 reversal.

Then diss why Liu Xiu won the highest score in the game but didn’t attend the post-match press conference.

Liu Xiu tilted his head and whistled while looking at the stars in the sky, as if he didn't hear anything.

It was night. After entering the simulation training space, Liu Xiu, who entered a highly clear-thinking mode, reviewed the first three games. The next day, on the morning of the rest day, his teammates were all sleeping in. Liu Xiu went to the small building where the coach lived.

, join the coaching staff meeting and discuss together.

Maybe it's because the older you get, the shorter the sleep time you need. Payton, Lynch Hunter, George Lynch, Van Horn, Flying Squirrel, McDyess... and other veterans also got up early and gathered at the coach's residence.

The small building and finally the small living room seemed crowded. Everyone went to the courtyard together, Liu Xiu laid out the skewers, and everyone discussed while playing the skewers.

Not every player has a coaching mindset, and not every player even knows how to analyze the game. Players like Little Flying Squirrel, McDyess, Van Horn and others do not have such ability. It is rare for everyone to gather together to form a coaching staff.

During the meeting, these few people discovered that their team is really full of talents. They may not know it, but it does not prevent them from feeling how good their team's krypton gold effect is.

Huo Tu is like a walking tactical library, having analyzed all the tactics the Nets played in G3.

George Lynch, who played under Larry Brown, was surprised by Coach Bush's defensive coaching skills. He felt that Coach Bush was a bit like Larry Brown, but not as tough and domineering, but no matter what

You should never be just a teaching assistant.

In fact, it was originally the case. The Nuggets really wanted to keep Coach Bush as their coach, but the salary they offered was too low. As a team in a small market, a little-known coach was unwilling to give a high salary, but Coach Busch did.

The pursuit of money is greater than the pursuit of team status. Simple and pure, Paul Allen's charm is obviously higher for Coach Bush than the entire Nuggets team.

There are also Lynch Hunter and Payton’s game experience, Liu Xiu’s ability to coordinate and analyze the three games like an outsider, and Chris Irving, the shooting coach, should pay attention to the shots based on the Nets’ defensive characteristics.

details...and Maurice-Cheeks' ability to make decisive decisions.

After a morning of analysis and research, there has been no pre-game preparation meeting or tactical training, and no one has come out to mobilize, but the players who participated in this impromptu coaching staff meeting have regained their confidence!

In fact, these things have always existed before, but everyone is used to the excellence of the coaching staff, to Payton's experience, to Liu Xiu's leadership...

…

"The Nets have bottomed out and their fighting power is very fierce. They are indeed the strongest team in the Eastern Conference. I feel the pressure, but it doesn't matter. We are still in the lead. I feel very much about the Nets' resistance.

Excited, I hope they can resist more fiercely..."

After a day of preparation, on June 20, the game day of Game 4 of the Finals between the Trail Blazers and Nets arrived.

After the morning pre-game preparation training, Liu Xiu accepted an interview and answered his thoughts on the Nets' G3 performance.

When the teammates heard Liu Xiu's words, they didn't know why, they seemed to hear the sound of the engine, but they felt Liu Xiu's arrogance!

They admired the warden's arrogant and domineering style.

After resting all afternoon, at 6:10 in the evening, the Trail Blazers continued to step onto the court with the belief that they would win.

Even if they lost G3 the day before yesterday, they are still leading 2-1. They will not lose the championship even if they lose all three away games. What are they afraid of losing one game?

It's really rare to be so stubborn even after losing a game.

Anyway, the Nets players were very surprised when they saw the Blazers' fighting spirit and confidence.

They thought that the big victory in G3 would dampen the Trail Blazers' spirit, but they didn't expect that the opponent's fighting spirit seemed to be even higher!

However, core Nets players such as Kidd and McGrady were surprised, but not surprised.

If it were so easy to frustrate the Trail Blazers, they wouldn't be the most amazing team in the new century.

On Liu Xiu's side, when he entered the stadium, he felt the change in the atmosphere of the Air Force Arena.

The boos really feel like playing on the road!

Although there are still a large number of Trail Blazers fans who grabbed the tickets, because the Nets started selling G3 and G4 tickets after reaching the finals. Nets fans who bought tickets after G2 were selling not only G3 tickets.

The tickets for G4 also sold a lot.

But the cheers of these Trail Blazers fans were completely covered up by the boos of Nets fans!

Liu Xiu doesn't think fans "only care about winning" because that's what they should do. Is it possible for fans to spend money to buy tickets to watch the home team lose?

When the home team, the Nets, took the field, the cheers and cheers from the fans were completely different from the previous game.

There was still no communication before the game, and both teams were doing their final preparations.

On the Nets bench, Kidd helped the coach with the tactical emphasis in the opening stage.

The victory in G3 and the enthusiasm and strength that Tracy McGrady showed after returning to his normal style of play made Kidd even more excited.

His goal is to win G4, tie the score, and fight in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain!

As long as they win G4, the Nets will have a clear advantage!

The most criticized aspect of the current 2-3-2 finals system is this. The team with a better record will play two games at home first, even if they win both, and then play three consecutive away games. If

They lost the first two away games and tied 2-2. The team with the better record had to play the Battle of Tianwangshan away from home. After losing two games in a row, they continued to play the Battle of Tianwangshan away from home... Anyway, the finals format was changed to 2-3.

After -2, if the first 4 games are tied 2-2, the team with a worse record has a higher probability of winning than the team with a better record.

Teams with a good record have won both home games, but there are also situations where they lose the next four games and lose the championship.

Just when Kidd was lost in his thoughts, he was awakened by several incomprehensible roars from the other party.

Kidd couldn't understand it, and most of the people at the scene couldn't understand it either, but some Americans who knew Chinese or the overseas Chinese who came here to watch the game understood it.

The "rise" of Sichuan dialect!

During the warm-up, Liu Xiu was thinking about what he should yell before the game to enhance cohesion. "Trail Blazers dogs" seems too tacky. "Bit the Nets", the Nets are not worthy of it.

... Suddenly these two words came to mind. When the Sichuan sports team competed, the scene of the audience shouting "Xiong Qi" left a deep impression on him.

Americans think Chinese is very foreign. When they heard Liu Xiu's suggestion, they shouted along decisively regardless of what it meant...

Not to mention, the words he didn't understand, coupled with the passionate voices of the Trail Blazers players, really gave Kidd a slight sense of oppression and felt the heroism of the opponent.

However, after yelling, Liu Xiu got out of the crowd with a curse.

He stood up and called his teammates to gather around him. He raised his fist to guide his teammates, but he was overwhelmed by his teammates!

With a strong sense of camera, he felt that the camera was focused on them, but he was blocked by his teammates and the camera could not capture him at all!

Anyway, if he had any negative emotions now, Liu Xiu would bring them into anger towards his opponent. When Tracy McGrady came on the court, he was confused by Liu Xiu's resentful eyes.

Didn’t I just win a game? How could it make it look like I had done something evil?

I can’t win if I mention Mai?

…

At 6:30 in the evening, with a strange scream from Kwame Brown, the game started!

Payton received the ball dialed back by Kwame Brown and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.

Nets starting lineup: Kidd, McGrady, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, Mourning.

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

Coming to the frontcourt with brisk steps, Payton didn't throw the ball. He came by himself and broke through from the right side of the top arc!

The impact of the Trail Blazers' frontcourt trio and Liu Xiu's flank follow-up pushed the Nets' defense inside. When Payton reached the top arc, Kidd had just come out from the inside and before he could stand still, Payton was

Passed.

Kidd turned around and pursued the defense vigorously, keeping up with Payton, who was old after all.

But Payton had already anticipated it. He slowed down in advance, turned around in the process, leaned towards Kidd, then turned around to the middle with his back, and took one step inside the free throw line to turn around and shoot a jumper...hit!

Payton's iconic breakthrough followed by a back-up turnaround shot!

Kidd watched the ball fall into the basket and couldn't help but clap his hands to cheer for his big brother.

Even as his opponent in the finals, Kidd has to admire his big brother's ability to seize opportunities.

Kidd felt that Payton really gave everything he had in this finals!

Seeing Payton high-fiving his teammates as he retreated from defense, Kidd's mood became even higher.

The Nets attacked, Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, faced Payton's defense, and chose to break through!

Payton easily predicted Kidd's breakthrough route, and moved his steps laterally enough to keep up with Kidd... but failed to keep up! He was blocked by Richard Jefferson!
Chapter completed!
