Chapter 497 497. Win for a while! Enter the Western Conference Finals! (8800 words)

"In the world of basketball, there can only be one general, and that's me."

"When he was nicknamed Little General, it was destined that he would be a tragedy."

"..."

"..."

Liu Xiu said a lot during the interview, but he repeatedly emphasized that his nickname is General, and not many people seemed to care.

All everyone cares about is-"I'm already thinking about my opponents in the next round."

This sentence sounded very familiar to the onlookers.

The last person said this, and I went fishing a few days after saying it!

When McGrady saw this interview, he was shaking with anger.

After league officials became aware of the interview, they forwarded it on the official website and mobilized media resources to expand publicity.

Originally, not many people paid attention to the G5 game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks. Although the game was highly topical, the game itself was too unsuspicious.

When Liu Xiu made such an incident, the officials, media, and fans all became alarmed!

If the Mavericks are really stimulated by the Trail Blazers, will they make a huge comeback?

These are two teams with 60+ wins, and their playing style is very likable, not a comeback from the Pistons back then.

If it turns over this time, the current public opinion situation of the Mavericks will be reversed!

Nowitzki was furious when he saw this interview, but soon he saw this as an opportunity!

Nowitzki was defeated in the last game and began to doubt himself. After two days of rest, he gradually calmed down.

He knew that his style of play was indeed exploited by the Trail Blazers... no, that man found a weakness.

It's not about holding grudges. If he discovers the opponent's weakness, he will definitely seize it and hit the opponent critically.

But of course he wants revenge and comeback on the court!

Although he doesn't know how to adjust his playing style now and is confused and just can't use it in the game, he believes that other teams can't learn the way the Trail Blazers deal with him right now even if they want to.

learn.

Therefore, as long as they get past the Trail Blazers first, they will still be the favorites to compete for the championship.

At dinner time, Nowitzki gathered his teammates together, took the blame first, and conveyed to his teammates the idea that they would still be the favorites to compete for the championship after surpassing the Trail Blazers. This statement was recognized by his teammates.

After reaching a consensus, Nowitzki and his teammates analyzed the problems in the first four games, admitted that their inability to shoot in the last three quarters of G4 was the reason for the collapse, and carefully analyzed the things they did well in the first three games.

…

Driven by Nowitzki and stimulated by Liu Xiu's words, the unwilling Mavericks players entered a state of agitation!

Of course they are not willing to give in!

They are a team with a 16-game winning streak, the strongest winning streak in the regular season this season. They fell behind 2-0 in the first round and were able to come back in four straight games.

Although they were unwilling to give in, they didn't know what to do. After being stimulated by the opponent's warden, Nowitzki put down his core attitude and led his teammates to actively adjust.

…

When other people saw Liu Xiu's interview, they had various reactions.

When the Trail Blazers management, coaching staff, players, and fans saw it, they had the same reaction - OMG! It started to create difficulty again!

But I'm not surprised at all.

No matter how arrogant Liu Xiu was, they all thought it was normal.

The reason why they said "f*ck" is because they thought Liu Xiu's words were unlucky...other than that, there was nothing else.

Although they were not careless, their arrogance was written on their faces.

Regardless of whether the Mavericks will be outraged by this, they are confident of winning the game!

At 10:27 pm, another hot topic came out. This time, it had something to do with Liu Xiu.

The opponent Liu Xiu is considering in the next round has basically been determined - the Spurs!

The Suns, who were trailing 0-2, lost to the Spurs 92-102 in the away game. They were trailing 0-3 and were on the verge of elimination!

Although trailing 0-2, many people still had expectations for the Suns before this game, because the G2 Suns only lost by 3 points.

Unexpectedly, I lost even more painfully in G3, and I couldn't even increase my points.

Duncan scored 30+ again, with 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

After three games, Duncan received extremely high evaluations. He has really adjusted. Neither the decline in athletic ability nor the changes in rules can prevent him from returning to the MVP level.

But the Bully, who has the highest scoring average so far in this series, has been criticized endlessly.

Xiaobawang scored 34 points in G1, 37 points in G2, and tonight he scored 41 points. After 3 games, he averaged 37.3 points per game, but! His assists in the 3 games combined were only 3, and

The number of mistakes was 13!

Xiaobawang's scoring data in this series are very good, but you can see from the game that he scores by eating cakes, eating cakes, and eating cakes. In the third grade, he does not have many other scoring methods.

And the most important thing is that when he encounters a double attack that he can't hit, most of the time his passes end in mistakes.

The Bully has many opportunities to eat pie, and the Spurs did this deliberately to reduce the Suns' mid-range shooting opportunities.

Moreover, the Little Overlord's pie-eating efficiency is not high, with only a 55% hit rate. The pie-eating scoring efficiency is about the same as Duncan's singles.

Regardless of the fact that the Bully averaged very high points per game this time, in fact, under the Spurs' defensive strategy, he became a black hole for the ball. When the ball came to him, he would either shoot it or make a mistake.

Iverson reached the second round, the defending champion Pacers performed weakly, and the Suns and Mavericks, two teams with 60+ wins, were beaten miserably.

The second round of this year's playoffs surprised fans.

But it's the surprise that makes fans more curious about what will happen next.

…

…

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu woke up on time.

Looking at the calendar, today, May 18th, is the day of Game 5 of the series against the Mavericks.

Anne Hathaway had already gotten up to take care of her children. Liu Xiu got up to take a shower and extract the simulation training results.

There are many benefits to improving physical strength. The simulation training time can be longer. After the team training on rest days, there will be a lot of physical strength left for simulation training. Of course, the ability to continue fighting during the game is also related to his own basic physical strength.

"...Congratulations to the host, the jump shot after catching the ball has been improved from 64 to 65."

There has been a little progress in playing without the ball!

Liu Xiu, who was taking a bath, couldn't help humming a song... "I love bathing and my skin feels so good, oh oh oh..."

Anne Hathaway, who took the time to go upstairs to help Liu Xiu get a bath towel and change of clothes, quickly shouted: "Husband, I am one of my own, don't shoot!"

Liu Xiu had no choice but to end the fun time angrily.

Come on, check out the to-do list and get some stress!

"The host has even become close friends with Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki's fatal flaws on the offensive end have been exposed to the world. The host knows that Nowitzki's offensive limits are more than that. As a close friend, he needs to let Nowitzki

Sky clearly realized his shortcomings and made a decisive breakthrough...The Blooming Rose Mission: The false Silver Horn King triggers."

"False Silver Horn King:

Goal: Defeat the Mavericks in Game 5 of the next series and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Reward: Dirk Nowitzki's advanced fadeaway jumper skills - Golden Rooster independent qualification level training method.

Advanced goal: publicly announce that you are considering the Western Conference Finals and complete the basic goal.

Advanced reward: Golden Rooster independent supporting first-class training method for post-up singles.”

Nowitzki is also good at fadeaway jumpers now, and he is very good at it. Liu Xiu is now using Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper, which is quite different from Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper a few years ago.

Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper is mainly suitable for face-up singles. The advantage is that he has a good sense of rhythm and does not require high athletic ability. The disadvantage is that he has sufficient wingspan when facing height, excellent bounce speed, and good defensive awareness.

It is extremely easy to be disturbed by opponents.

It is estimated that it will still take a few years for the Silver Horn King to develop the Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper and the supporting post-up singles. In the original time and space, after 2007, the Silver Horn King, who became more technically proficient, spent three or four years...

Point out King Silver Horn’s offensive flaws and then teach King Silver Horn how to play? Liu Xiu felt excited just thinking about it!

When he saw the advanced goal, he decided to implement it without hesitation.

It's just the basic skills of a Golden Rooster, which won't be that helpful to him.

But with the supporting back-up skills, he has the possibility to further improve in this area.

As for the fact that the series has become more difficult... he has great confidence in his team, just like his teammates only thought his words were slightly ominous.

When Liu Xiu thought about it, he felt that he was really the best person in the world.

Not only do we have to help King Silver Horn point out technical flaws, we also need to complete tasks to obtain technology that can be used to show King Silver Horn in the coming year, so that King Silver Horn knows how to make up for the technical flaws...

When thinking of Nowitzki's technical flaws, Liu Xiu will think of mad scientists.

This veteran coach is very good at cultivating functional players and helping core players hone their basic skills.

But when the player's strength reaches a higher level, he will no longer be able to train him.

The madman back then, now Dirk Nowitzki, has obvious technical flaws after his strength has reached the level of an All-Star.

Webber, who was already very mature when he entered the NBA, made noises about leaving after his rookie year. On the one hand, he did not like the coaching philosophy of the mad scientist, and on the other hand, he did not accept the development direction arranged for him by the mad scientist.

…

After eating breakfast and moving Anna for a while, Liu Xiu came to the Rose Garden Arena and followed the team in their pre-game preparations.

The Trail Blazers are preparing for today's game with great enthusiasm. Warden is already thinking about the next round. As teammates, you must help Warden maintain his face!

The morning training went very smoothly, and by lunch time, the Trail Blazers players gathered in the restaurant to watch TV.

"Butcher, why are we watching the live broadcast in the restaurant instead of going to the lounge? The environment there is much more comfortable." Kwame Brown was puzzled.
