In the first round of the playoffs in 2003, the Blazers changed three different ways to die in the first three games.
In the first game, the Trailblazers decided to steadily grind their positions. At half time, they suppressed the Mavericks to lead by 10 points, but in the third quarter, the Dallas people set the trailblazers to a rarity with their foot accelerator. Nowitzki scored 46 points in the whole game, and the trailblazers.
In the second game, the Blazers decided to hit the inside line. Bonky Wells slashed the playoff career with the highest score of 45 points. The Blazers gave more than 37-18 free throws to the Mavericks, however, Nash suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter and got 11 points. In the 29 seconds before the final match, he locked in a three-point victory. The Trailblazers × 2
In the third game, the Blazers decided to fight with the Mavericks. As a result, Nowitzki scored 42 points happily, and the Blazers × 3.
The rose garden was covered by boos, and angry Portland fans shouted out their dissatisfaction: If NBA hadn’t changed its first round competition this year, the Blazers would have been sent away by the Mavericks (McGrady next door: yes, yes, you are right), of course, the situation is not much better now, because there were 68 3-0 situations in NBA before, and none of the leaders overturned.
Nowitzki’s comments after the game were more anxious than the 42 points he scored. “I am very surprised that there are so many open shots tonight.” The pioneer coach Morris Chiks answered this question like a fan, “it’s not just him, I’m also surprised.”
In addition to the elements of showing off, what King notian wanted to express was that the Lone Ranger conducted smoothly and his teammates shot accurately, so that the Blazers were unable to focus on him. From the perspective of chicks, there was only helplessness left. Because of the injury, he was forced to use three different starting lines in three matches.
Even if the whole staff are healthy, Portland is also a headache Legion. The law goes on for a whole season: Rashid Wallace, Damon Stoudemire and quentle Woods were summoned by the police for carrying marijuana; ruben-Paterson was accused of beating his wife and paid a fine of 100000 dollars. During training, Randolph fought with Paterson and was fined 100000 dollars. The team banned two games; wallace was banned for seven matches because of threatening a match official.
It is not shameful to take these suspects out of the Mavericks who won 60 in the regular season, but it is another matter if they don’t win. If you choose to lie flat and lose the fourth game, the Blazers will be swept in the first round for three consecutive years, and will also catch up with the record of 11 consecutive playoff losses held by Baltimore Bullets and Denver Nuggets.
Of course, chicks didn’t want to be nailed to the humiliation column of history. As a Cainiao boss, he needed to prove himself as soon as possible-rumors had already spread before, and the Blazers were dissatisfied with their achievements and were ready to take him for an operation. But in any case, chicks was not optimistic: Derek Anderson had a cartilage tear on his left knee in the second game, and then he underwent arthroscope surgery. The season was reimbursed, and Pippen was suspended for a knee injury, sabonis has a back spasm and can’t wear it at jumpsuits. There are only nine people left on Portland’s list.
Whether it’s passive seeking for change or biting his teeth to gamble, chicks made a bold decision to put Randolph on the lead, playing three towers in the front court with Dale Davis and Rashid Wallace, the back court was led by bunchy Wells and Stoudemire, a set of starting lines they had never used.
Three towers vs three towers (mavericks are also laferentz + Bradley + Nowitzki three towers), and the Blazers are the doctors. In the first half, the two sides were not shocked, but in the third quarter, the pioneers suddenly began to understand and hit a 21-to-0 climax, leading 24 points at most.
The media described the situation at that time as follows: “The Pioneers packed up the Lone Ranger, and their methods were layup, dunking, grabbing the offensive rebound, going round and round until Dallas collapsed.” The Mavericks scored only 10 points in the third quarter, setting the lowest score in the Young Pioneer Team history playoff.
Rashid 23 points vs Nowitzki 26 points: a rare power forward at that time.
A long-lost victory made chicks smile. This time it was his turn to show nonsense art, “What did we do right? It is nothing more than we invested, they did not.”
In the fifth game, the Pioneers finally waited until the return of Pippen, and chicks still followed the line up of the previous game. It was not until the second quarter of Pippen that the substitute came on stage for three minutes. During the intermission, he had been pedaling behind the bench, and he didn’t play again until the last 17 seconds of the third quarter. The cautious use of Pippen was effective in the fourth quarter. His personal attack and series helped the Blazers bite the score. Another core Wallace made the Lone Ranger understand that cooked ducks not only speak hard, but also fly.
At 1 minute 5 seconds before the end of the game, Wallace wrote a three-point goal in his life and changed the score to 99:98. This was the first time that the Blazers took the lead in the game. At the most critical moment, all the Mavericks were dumb. Nash made 2 of 11 shots and Van Exel made 1 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter. Although Nowitzki scored 35 points, however, there were two penalties for one in 32.8 seconds left in the game, and the free throw was the only score for the team at the last 2 minutes 36 seconds.
The whistle rang, and Damon stadamer raised his arms and passed bellow to every corner of the stadium. At that moment, the American Airlines Center, which sat 20438 fans, was dead. What was embarrassing was that they refreshed the playoff home audience record for the third consecutive game. Dallas fans couldn’t figure out how the previous vulnerable Blazers could pull two games in a row?
Pygmy flying squirrel stadamer G5 scored 19 points, including 13 points in the third section.
If the first three games were the Dallas Giants winning the game by attacking fire, then the basis of the trailblazers turning the game was enthusiasm and aggressiveness, and their momentum continued to the sixth game. In the first half, the Blazers were hit again. Dale Davis pulled his groin and limped back to the dressing room. First, the center came to an unexpected end, but the Blazers still beat their opponents in the rebound under the leadership of Randolph. In the first half, they were 29 to 9, far ahead, Nowitzki, lafentz and Bradley, three seven-foot-long men, combined to Rob only one. David Aldridge joked that the Blazers did not continue to expand the advantage of rebounding because they were tired of jumping.
The game lost suspense early. The Blazers were up to 32 points ahead, and 6 people scored double points. Their body language was full of ridicule. Ruben Patterson danced to victory after scoring in a penalty area, after the game, he said the Mavericks players looked very scared.
The picture chased three games from 0-3 to 3-3, with an average of 22.6 points and 11.3 rebounds in Randolph games, with a hit rate of 56%, a hard one
In the third quarter, Nowitzki looked at the water dispenser with a depressed face. 11 shot 2, 4 points, 0 rebounds, notian King played the most outrageous playoff game of his career, the media mocked him as soft as Eddie Curry’s belly.
After the Knicks in 1951 and the Denver Nuggets in 1994, the Blazers became the third team to draw the score 0-3 behind, which greatly increased their confidence. After the sixth game, I don’t know who wrote a sentence in the memo of the dressing room-running to Sahara Mento (The King eliminated Jazz 4-1 and was waiting for the winner of The Lone Ranger and pioneer).
But the pioneers were happy a little early.
Before the start of the G7, the Blazers reduced their staff again due to injury. Dale Davis could not compete for seven. Veteran Sabonis took his place. Chicks discharged the fifth set of starting lineup in this round of series. The pioneers did not change their strength, which made them enter the fourth section with the advantage of 2 points.
However, in the 12 minutes that decided to live and die, the Cowboys who slept three times finally woke up.
Perhaps Don Nelson’s thundering rage had an effect, and fan exier, who was depressed before, suddenly came to his spirits. Just like beating the Timberwolves a year ago, Van Exel suddenly entered the zone in the fourth quarter. The first seven goals of the Mavericks all came from his personal attacks and assists.
After that, Nowitzki took over the game completely. When he broke his arm and fought in the Forbidden Zone, the balance of victory turned to Dallas, at 1 minute 21 seconds before the final match, he almost killed the match with the three-point goal hit by Nash’s assist.
On the contrary, after hitting Pippen in tossing to draw the score 93, the Blazers fell into the scoring shortage, and only relied on Wells’s free throw to get two points in the remaining three minutes.
The beep at the end of the game rang again, and this round of ups and downs series was over-this was the final song of the Pippen playoffs. After leaving Jordan for 5 years, he only won two rounds of series, it can be regarded as “completely proving yourself”. (PS: This is also the last game of Sabonis’s NBA career)
“We still haven’t done it. It’s too disappointing.” Stadamer said, “however, this past week has been full of fun, and we have shown our character and courage.”
Stadamer (middle) is now the teaching assistant of Celtics
In the past two decades, the fourth team, which was 0-3 behind and even played three games, appeared.
This time, did Jimmy Butler get the script of King noir, or did Tatum write a new legend?
