At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Spurs at home amid the enthusiastic cheers of fans at the Rose Garden Arena.

Like the Trail Blazers players, the fans had already strengthened their faith when the game went from 1 to 1 to 3 to 1. Even if they were beaten 3 to 3, they were annoyed, aching... and had all kinds of negative emotions.

But it will not shake their confidence in their own team!

Facing the aggressive Spurs, who had won two games in a row, the Trail Blazers gave the opponent a showdown. In the first quarter, Randolph made 2 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter.

3 of those rebounds were offensive rebounds!

Under the crazy impact of Randolph, Kwame Brown, and Liu Xiu who combined to score 7 rebounds in a single quarter, the Outlaws scored 4 points on 2 of 4 shots, but the most important thing was the little flying squirrel who came off the bench!

He played 7 minutes in the first quarter and made 3 of 5 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers. Plus 3 of 4 free throws, he scored 10 points in a single quarter.

The Trail Blazers performed well on both offense and defense in the first quarter, ending the first quarter with a 3-point lead over the Spurs 26-23.

T.N.T sports live broadcast, during the break, Barkley asked his partner: "Kenny, is there something different about the Trail Blazers tonight?"

"Yes, they took the lead in the first quarter."

"Oh, leak! Kenny, you are so insensitive. No wonder I get an annual salary of 3 million and you only get 1.2 million."

"...But I have two championship rings."

"Damn it, Vaco! I'm discussing professionalism with you! Who is discussing the championship with you..."

Kenny Smith didn't see anything wrong? Of course not.

Anyone who has watched the previous games will notice the difference in the Trail Blazers tonight - it's not because Liu Xiu took the lead!

In each of the three games the Trail Blazers won before, they took advantage of Liu Xiu.

In G1, it was Liu Xiu who scored 29 seconds and 5 minutes. The others were just responsible for holding on to the score.

G3, relying on Liu Xiu's threat at critical moments, relied on defense to win the game.

In G4, Liu Xiu again scored 5 points in 31 seconds and scored 9 points and 1 assist on 3 of 6 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in overtime.

Every victory must rely on Liu Xiu and operate around Liu Xiu's performance at critical moments.

Popovich was completely unabashedly sour in the press conference after Game 4. Maurice Cheeks was lucky.

In response to this, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, who has become a serious loser, responded positively - "I am just lucky, I just have the warden to feed me."

Tonight, Liu Xiu made 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter and scored 2 points and 3 rebounds. Although he had two offensive rebounds but they were not converted into points, the Trail Blazers still took the lead!

Finally, after 6 games, Liu Xiu ushered in a night when his teammates were in top form!

Duncan, who had two games in a row, couldn't hold back in the first quarter tonight. He only scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 1 of 4 shots!

The Spurs made 8 of 23 shots in the first quarter!

This kind of opening momentum has continued for the Trail Blazers!

In the second quarter, Randolph made 4 of 7 shots and 3 of 3 free throws to score 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the quarter, leading the team to another 26 points in the quarter.

At the same time, the Trail Blazers limited the Spurs to 22 points in a single quarter, 1 point lower than the first quarter!

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 7 points, 52-45!

In the third quarter, Liu Xiu, who made 2 of 7 shots in the first half and was led by his teammates for half the game, was so impressed by his teammates that he took off.

The Spurs' performance in the first quarter was unfavorable. In the second quarter, Popovich endured and continued to play steadily. Unlike the Trail Blazers, who won the three games by relying on strange tricks, the Spurs won three games with steady play, but the midfielder

I just couldn't bear it when I came back from a break.

The Butcher scored 17 points in the half and the Flying Squirrel scored 15 points in the half. At this time, they were strictly guarding against the Warden who was 2 of 7 in the half...Popovich chose to focus his defense on the Butcher and the Flying Squirrel.

As a result, Liu Xiu continued to receive shooting opportunities in the mid-range, making 5 of 7 shots, including 4 of 6 mid-range shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. Without a counterattack to score, Liu Xiu made a single shot.

A 13-point surge in the quarter!

In addition, the Flying Squirrel unreasonably scored 10 points on 4 of 6 shots. Raheem took over Randolph's offensive banner and scored 9 points in a single quarter... Not many people in the Trail Blazers scored in the third quarter.

Five players scored, and Kwame Brown and Randolph only had two points each.

But the combined scores of Liu Xiu, Flying Squirrel, and Raheem were already 10 points higher than the Spurs' score in a single quarter!

36 to 22, the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs by 14 points in a single quarter!

Whenever there is a desperate situation, Yaodao can always stand up, and it was the same tonight. When the rest of the Spurs were not shooting well in the third quarter, Ginobili made 4 of 7 shots in a single quarter and scored 11 points. His performance was very good.

, but he couldn’t stand up to the fact that there were three people on the opposite side who performed similarly to him!

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, but the demon sword faces six hands!

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 21 points 88-67 entering the final quarter!

…

From a 28.6% shooting rate on 2 of 7 shots to a 50% shooting rate of 7 of 14 shots, Liu Xiu played too comfortably in tonight's game.

In every game, he can feel his progress in game experience, and he can also feel the progress of his teammates in many aspects.

Tonight, these improvements reached a critical point, and they played their best game since entering the playoffs this year!

While steadily limiting the Spurs' scoring to the average level in this series, their own offensive end seized on the opponent's pain points to hit hard-all kinds of mid-range shots!

The Trail Blazers broke out in the mid-range shooting tonight. The Spurs are still stable and still unable to deal with the opponent's explosion. As they have always been, when they fail to suppress their opponents, they will have a very difficult time.

They don't have the ability to chase such a big point difference!

The Trail Blazers, who had been fierce for three quarters, returned to normal performance in the final quarter. They were defended by the Spurs and only scored 19 points in a single quarter. Liu Xiu, who was favored by his teammates, was led by Liu Xiu, who made 3 of 6 shots and scored 6 points, 2 assists and 1 steal.

But even if the Spurs defended the Trail Blazers by 19 points in the final quarter and scored 28 points themselves, beating the Trail Blazers by 9 points in a single quarter, they still could not make up for the huge point difference in the first three quarters.

At 10:22 pm, the final whistle sounded, and the Rose Garden Arena became a sea of ​​joy.

Won!

Finally won!

Randolph scored 31 points and 16 rebounds with 12-of-21 shooting from the field. The Flying Squirrels scored 26 points and 3 assists on 10-of-17 shooting. Liu Xiu was stunned from 2-for-7 to 10-for-20 and scored 26 points and 8 assists.

6 assists on the board...The Trail Blazers defeated the Spurs 107-95 in the tiebreaker, eliminating the Spurs 4-3 and advancing to the finals!

The performance of the Trail Blazers team in 2000 has been surpassed by the current team! The moment the final whistle sounded, in the eyes of Trail Blazers fans, it truly opened a new chapter in their team history!

The Trail Blazers players were overjoyed, and many players even cried.

Little Flying Squirrel's tears seemed to burst out. He held Liu Xiu's arm and kept saying, "It's not easy..."

Liu Xiu didn't expect that the one who cried the most was the little flying squirrel.

But let the little flying squirrel cry. The words he said, "It's not easy," made Liu Xiu want to slap him with earwax and kick him twice.

Liu Xiu was not surprised at all by the reaction of his teammates.

In the first two home games, without his 5-point comeback in 29 seconds, they would have started 0-2, rushed to 3-1, and were tied again... Indeed, they have suffered greatly both physically and mentally in this series.

Training, butcher, outlaw, McDyess, Raheem... and his warden and a bunch of other players with little playoff experience were all baptized in this Western Conference Finals.

They also developed their tenacious belief and indomitable spirit in this series.

But the pressure has always been there, but they relied on various motivations to withstand the pressure.

The moment they won the Western Conference Finals, all the pressure was released and they burst into tears uncontrollably. It was normal.

Lu Xun once said: It is not a sin for a man to cry...

In the post-match interview, Liu Xiu said to the camera: "This is a victory for the team. Each of us has made his own contribution. Everyone is a part of the team...Won three games with my performance? No."

, I don’t think so, yes, I performed very well at critical moments, but that was relying on my teammates to hold on to the score. We have a clear division of labor. Without our collective performance, there would be no chance for me to score the key ball. I just

At that time, it was just about throwing the ball in and winning the game..."

After the celebration and post-game interview, NBA Vice President Joke came to the court to present the Western Conference championship trophy to the Trail Blazers.

Being pushed to the front by his teammates, Liu Xiu did not refuse and took the division championship trophy from Joke.

When he lifted the trophy amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the system prompted!

"The host led the team to stop Tim Duncan, the king-level player of this era, from the finals, and started Tim Duncan's exclusive series of missions: the future.

Future series of missions: I'm Watching You has been triggered.

Goal: Launch a career challenge to Tim Duncan who is watching the host!

Reward: 5000 healing points."

Career challenge? Launching a career challenge to a player who entered the NBA at the age of 21 and has already played for 8 years? This... seems to be nothing wrong. Liu Xiu remembers that there is a statistic in the future. Duncan said to James in 2007, 'The future is yours.'

, as a result, 60% of the 2007 rookies retired earlier than Duncan.

Eh, that’s not right!

Liu Xiu looked around, and his actions caught everyone's attention.

When Liu Xiu turned his attention to the rear, his teammates who noticed that Liu Xiu seemed to be looking for something consciously stepped aside.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu saw that man!

There was a man with facial paralysis secretly sitting on the technical stage and watching the warden!

Following Liu Xiu's line of sight, others were surprised to find that Duncan was hiding here.

Liu Xiu walked towards the technical platform, and Duncan stood up when he saw this.

The live broadcast footage and the large screen at the scene immediately gave the two people a panoramic view, and the staff pushed the radio to the two of them in a tacit understanding.

With everyone watching, the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds. Finally, someone spoke!

Liu Xiu said to Duncan: "A new era has arrived. Are you ready to be ruthlessly crushed by the wheels of history?"
Chapter completed!
