   Chapter 259 259. Why didn't you vomit tonight? (2123 plus more)

   Looking at Liu Xiu who picked up his jersey and ran back, Payton was about to collapse, wouldn't this rookie get tired?

   As if he heard Payton's voice, Liu Xiu spit out his jersey and turned to Payton and shouted, "I'm done warming up, come on, have a good run!"

  Payton and his teammates: Convex

   Teammates all looked at Kobe, and then they remembered that the rookie on the opposite side was an existence that could spit out their physical fitness.

   It's time for the Lakers to attack, and now they're finally on their toes!

  50 to 56, it was almost half a quarter before they got 4 points!

Kobe Bryant received a pass from Payton who was advancing. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer the little blacksmith. He clearly judged the opponent's defensive strategy - shrinking and attacking, blocking O'Neal, and blocking the basket by shrinking and attacking. Give them the Lakers a chance to rush the offensive rebound.

  Regular style of play: Let O'Neal attract pinch hits to separate out, and teammates shoot open shots.

   Kobe's tactics: I'll shoot, don't let the inside line be blocked, and give O'Neal a chance to grab offensive rebounds.

   Kobe made a defensive three-pointer against Ruben Patterson at the top arc...Tonight's Kobe finisher really became the finisher, Kobe made a three-pointer!

   However, O'Neal responded to Kobe's trust, grabbed an offensive rebound, and scored two points from a tip!

   2 points and 1 board!

   Kobe's method of warfare was established!

   Payton and Malone wanted to give a thumbs up, they just couldn't think of how to play, and the Blazers' strategy confused them both.

   Now they both know why OK is the champion and they just cuddle.

  Bryant often creates difficulty without difficulty.

   But when there is no chance, Kobe can create opportunities!

  The sharks are still there, giving the Lakers a shot in the arm.

   When the Blazers attacked, the Lakers' defense was significantly more ferocious.

   Liu Xiu gave the ball to Rahim, who received the ball and attacked!

  Rahim was extremely excited. He never imagined that he would be able to become the main point of attack against the Lakers today.

   But indeed, he is the one best used by the Trail Blazers against the inside line guarded by O'Neal in the positional battle.

   It's just that he was too excited this time, he suddenly turned around and threw at close range, and he actually crossed the bridge!

  Strength!

   Fortunately, Randolph scored an offensive rebound behind O'Neal and crossed the road!

  O'Neal's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he turned around and pressed his arms around Liu Xiu who jumped up towards him.

   The foul will not let Liu Xiu be deducted again!

   Putting Liu Xiu on the ground, O'Neal viciously hummed at Liu Xiu.

  Liu Xiu shook his hands and walked to the free throw line. When he was about to grab the jersey, he was a little disgusted...but he still grabbed it.

   The consumption of sprinting and jumping just now eased quickly... Thanks to Lao Tie's 'physical rush'!

   Liu Xiu made two free throws, 58-52, and the Blazers continued to maintain a 6-point lead!

   When the Lakers attacked, Kobe wanted to do the same and continue to shoot. If he scored, he would have 3 points. If he didn't, he might have 2 points and 1 rebound... But Kobe's tactics failed this time.

   He really didn't expect the Blazers to dare to defend like this - Raheem and McDyess contracted directly!

  Except for Peyton, who had a good shot tonight, who was stared at by Liu Xiu, the Blazers just let everyone else empty!

   The other party really did it!

   And his 3-pointer missed!

  Rahim grabbed the defensive rebound, advanced the counterattack, and Liu Xiuchong rushed!

   Liu Xiu received the ball in the frontcourt, was blocked, and returned a pass. Ruben Patterson followed up and received the ball and made a layup.

  60 to 52, the Lakers called a timeout and entered the official timeout stage!

   But calling a timeout is useless, even a long official timeout!

After the official suspension came back, although Kobe no longer played 'Kobe's tactics', the Lakers made good use of O'Neal's advantage and took advantage of Payton's good state tonight. In the second half of the third quarter, The two teamed up to score 9 points, but the Lakers had no one else to score!

   The Lakers did a good job defending in the second half of the third quarter, only allowing the Trail Blazers to score 11 points, but the Lakers themselves only scored 9 points!

  The Blazers played quite simply. The defensive end was playing hard to block O'Neal, Payton, and Kobe. Kobe still had to block. If this guy gave him a chance, he would not be easy to shoot.

  The Lakers are dominated by veterans. The veterans rest too long, are complacent, and shoot so casually on the offensive end. So far, they still score 9 points in half a quarter. The Big Four are really powerful.

But relying on Liu Xiu's crazy rush in the third quarter, relying on the excellent use of Raheem, relying on the younger core of the core, relying on the depth of the lineup... The Blazers finished the third quarter and overtook the Lakers by 10 points 71-61 !

   The Lakers made 6 of 21 shots in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers made 11 of 23 shots in the third quarter, and the Trail Blazers scored a single quarter score of 29 to 15!

   Liu Xiu made 6 of 14 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, 18 points and 3 assists in a single quarter!

   After the three quarters, Liu Xiu made 12 of 29 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, soaring 33 points, tying the highest score in a single game of the playoffs of the active player rookie season maintained by Duncan!

Duncan had 33 points and 10 rebounds against Malone in the second round of the 1998 playoffs. Although the Spurs lost that game and the Spurs almost got swept in the entire series...but that series was in front of Malone with the peak. In the confrontation, Duncan was only slightly disadvantaged, which really established Duncan's status as a superstar in his rookie season.

   Now, Liu Xiu has only played 3 quarters to tie the highest score in a single playoff game of the active player rookie season maintained by Duncan!

  Thanks to ESPN, now the league is trending those 'original records'.

  Although there is a bug in this 'record', some stars did not qualify for the playoffs in their rookie seasons, such as Shaquille O'Neal.

   But after the inter-season break, when Liu Xiu tied Duncan was posted on the big screen, the fans on the scene fell into a frenzy again, the morale of the Blazers players continued to rise, and the Lakers players wanted to scold!

   In the first round against the Grizzlies, they can only score more than 20 points at most, against the Lakers, they are the Lakers! 33 points in three quarters!

  O'Neal has already scored like this, with only 31 points in three quarters!

  Although the 12-for-17 shooting rate is better, O'Neal's efficiency must be several files higher than Liu Xiu.

   However, with the Trail Blazers leading by 10 points, Liu Xiu's score is worthwhile.

   Most of the scores were scored in the crucial third quarter!

  …

  The magic stick posture of the Zen master calmed the team members a lot, but the pressure was still too great.

   However, with the OK combination, Payton performed quite well tonight, scoring 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting in three quarters, the second-highest scoring player on the Lakers tonight.

still have a chance!

   Kobe kept hitting the iron in the third quarter and made 0 of 7 shots, but both Zen Master and O'Neal, who knew Kobe best, could see that Kobe was about to find the feeling.

   However, after returning from the break, the Lakers collectively scolded the street…

  The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Extrajudicial Fanatics, Miles, and Dale Davis!

   After the five-person team of Payton, Kobe, Fox, Horace Grant, and O'Neal went up, most of their confidence collapsed...

   The opposing lineup is not that strong, however! Just to restrain them on the defensive end of the Lakers.

   As for this lineup on the opposite side, the offense is absolutely bad, so what? Opposite lead by 10 points!

   Soon, the fourth quarter began, the OK combination began to smash, Payton tried his best to deal with Liu Xiu, the Lakers attacked and defended aggressively... Successfully limited the Trail Blazers' score to less than 20 points in the final quarter.

Liu Xiu made 2 of 5 shots in the final quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and only scored 8 points. , the team only scored 15 points in the final quarter.

   But they also limited the Lakers to under 20 points!

O'Neal made 2 of 4 shots and 3 of 6 free throws and scored 7 points, Kobe scored 1 of 4 and scored 2 points, Fisher scored 3 points, Payton scored 2 points, Fox scored 2 points, Malone scored 2 free throws 1 gets 1 point, only 17 points in a single quarter!

  The Trail Blazers gave up their play style in the third quarter at the end of the quarter. No matter how well they played in the third quarter, they used infinite pinching and switching to deal with the OK combination + Payton from the very beginning.

   It turns out they made the right choice! They defended like this, and the Lakers played better than the third quarter after the break!

   Not greedy for too much, and adhering to the idea of ​​winning by 1 point, the Trail Blazers held on to the lead created in the third quarter!

   At 9:22 pm, the final whistle sounded.

   The referee confirmed the score and gestured that the game was over and the Trail Blazers won.

  The score between the two teams was played on the big screen, and the word 'win' appeared on the Trail Blazers logo!

  The Trail Blazers reversed the Lakers 86-78 and won the first victory of the series!

  Rose Garden Arena is full of fun!

  4 years! Since June 2, 2000, in the playoff matchup between the Blazers and the Lakers, Blazers fans finally saw the word appear on their team logo again!

   But this is not the most concerned thing in the minds of Blazers fans.

  The Blazers of the past are already the past, and now is the "Darkest Age", the age of the Warden!

   14 for 34 in a single game…

   Liu Xiu's efficiency tonight is much better than Kobe, who scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks on 5 of 23 shots.

   14 of 34 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 11 of 11 free throws, Liu Xiu hurricane 41 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, leading his team to victory!

   Looking at Liu Xiu's data, the Lakers players have already scolded the streets!

   It's them again!

   They are the background for this rookie!

  O'Neal, who scored 38 points, hated why he didn't make two free throws with 8 of 15 free throws...

  O'Neal was about to leave with a dark face, suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and asked, "Kobe, why didn't you vomit tonight?"

   Kobe was annoyed and almost jumped up when he heard this.

   Without waiting for Kobe to answer, O'Neal said to himself: "Oh, I didn't play double overtime tonight, and I didn't trigger the condition for you to vomit."

  “???”

  Bryant's language talent showed, 6 languages ​​​​are fragrant!

   After the two vomits, the good feeling brought by O'Neal's hug disappeared!

  …

  …
