Chapter 866 866. Fighting for personal ability, I like it!
On the 25th, the league announced the best coach award.
Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell defeated Spurs head coach Popovich to win the Coach of the Season award.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home.
After two hours and 27 minutes of play, the Nuggets defeated the Trail Blazers 105-99 away from home, with the score tied at 1-1!
Iverson made 15 of 27 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 41 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Anthony made 10 of 21 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 assists. Among the 12 rebounds, he had 7 offensive rebounds... Although he was blocked 6 times in a single game.
Second-rate……
The two combined to score 71 points and led the team to defeat the Trail Blazers!
Back in the locker room after the game, Blake and McDyess led their teammates to briefly review tonight's game.
Liu Xiu scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Blake had 9 points and 7 assists, Randolph had 14 points and 15 rebounds, the Flying Squirrel had 14 points, and Ray Allen had 14 points... The team scored 99 points, which is not a bad performance.
, continuing the stable performance of the previous game.
But the explosion on the other side was too fierce!
Blake concluded: "Warden, Butcher, Ray, we need more personal offense from you, our overall strength is stronger, but they have Iverson and Anthony, who have the ability to upset us, so that they can
If we continue to fight game after game, we may encounter something bad."
Liu Xiu also had this plan, and Ray Allen was thinking about it.
Randolph... After hearing this, he patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me in the next game, I'll beat them up!"
Others also recognized Blake's suggestion, and the coach who was watching also nodded.
If the three major stars reduce their tactical coordination and focus on their individual abilities, it means that others will perform less. But when Blake makes such a suggestion, it is difficult for others to object, because if adjustments are made in this regard, he will be the one who is most affected.
, he is the person who holds the ball the second longest time on the team.
…
The next afternoon, the Trail Blazers left Portland and came to Denver. This time they had two days of rest between home and away games. The Trail Blazers came to Denver one day early to adapt to the plateau environment here.
After a night's rest, the Trail Blazers started preparing for training on the 27th.
In the tactical meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning, the coaching staff adjusted the strategy based on the suggestions put forward by the players - with an unreasonable and troublesome team like the Nuggets, there is no need to be reasonable and fight the team, just go straight.
But relying on stars also requires the cooperation of teammates. It is not easy to play well, unless you play like the Cavaliers with four sudden shots.
The Noon Alliance announced three individual awards.
The Most Improved Award was won by Deron Williams of the Lakers, defeating Monta Ellis, Andres Biedrins, and Tyson Chandler.
Deron's scoring rate of 27.9% was only 3% more than Monta Ellis. The first votes were still the same, both receiving 33 votes.
The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Lamar Odom of the Lakers.
Odom averaged 13.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game this season.
He defeated Ginobili who averaged 19.1 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, Barbosa who averaged 18 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and David Lee who averaged 10.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
The Rookie of the Year award was won by Brandon Roy of the Timberwolves. There was no doubt that he received 104 of the 125 first-place votes.
The league has already given out five awards, and they have nothing to do with the Trail Blazers.
The little flying squirrel and Rahim sighed repeatedly today.
The three consecutive Sixth Man Awards that the two of them jointly completed have now been snatched away.
During the break in the afternoon training, when discussing today’s awards, the little flying squirrel sighed and said: “The young people nowadays are so shameless. Odom, Ginobili, Barbosa, Lee... these people actually
Playing as a substitute?"
Rahim kept nodding his head after hearing this.
Liu Xiu complained: "When you two were on the bench, others should have thought the same thing..."
Only then did the teammates remember that there was such a thing, and they all joked about how the two bullied other substitutes in the past three years.
Liu Xiu was a little nervous now.
Of the NBA’s official regular season individual awards, only MVP and Best Defensive Player have not yet been announced...
The closer the awards were announced, the stronger the desire became.
However, his concentration and adjustment ability was excellent. On the 28th, the G3 game day arrived, and he re-invested in the playoffs.
There is still pressure.
They have very strong self-confidence, and the two home games tied 1-1 cannot affect their calm thinking, but if the home advantage is robbed, it is robbed, and if they are behind, they are behind.
At 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers and Nuggets started the third game of the series at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

After a day of rest, on April 30, the last day of this month, the Nuggets once again challenged the Trail Blazers at home.
George Karl, who learned from the experience, chose to start from the defensive end tonight.
In the first quarter, under George Karl's exquisite defensive command, the Nuggets defended the Trail Blazers and only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
The defense was very successful!
But the Nuggets lost their own offensive rhythm and only scored 18 points in the first quarter!
George Karl was so anxious that he wanted to send someone to guard the landing point of the warden's jump.
Chapter completed!
