Healing Basketball

   Chapter 246 246. Give me a chance!

  Liu Xiu's two assists at the start are like drinking water!

   The fans at the scene exclaimed in disbelief, and the Blazers players didn't understand how the game unfolded.

   Get along day and night, train and play together every day. In the past two days, teammates have discovered that Liu Xiu's incredible state of the past half month has passed.

   But the Grizzlies don't know!

  Because it is impossible to judge whether Liu Xiu is in good condition or not from his playing style.

   Team priority, even in the month of April when the state was against the sky, Liu Xiu's style of play did not change.

  The Blazers players didn't immediately understand what was going on, but the opportunity came, and of course they had to make good use of it.

   Halfway through the first quarter, Liu Xiu had 5 assists.

   Hubby Brown worked hard to adjust, but the opposing coach was also making all-out adjustments by taking advantage of this unexpected joy.

   At the end of the first quarter, Liu Xiu's assists increased to 7 times, 4 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. He also scored the first steal of his career in the playoffs, leading the Blazers to a 32-16 lead over the Grizzlies by 16 points!

  The game is almost over!

   "The opponent gave us a chance in the first quarter, but we can't pin our hopes on this. We have to be prepared to be counterattacked. The opponent is a 50-win team, and we can't despise them..."

  Veteran Dale Davis urged his teammates during the break.

   Dale Davis reminded that the effect was very good. The Trail Blazers were the team that almost fell last year. The 50-win team met the 60-win Mavericks in the first round and went from 0 to 3 to 3 to 3.

   The big score of 3-0 is still in danger of being overturned, not to mention the lead of more than ten points in the first quarter of a single game.

   There is a warden in the town, a butcher to motivate teammates before the game, and a gold medalist during the game. He uses his experience to urge his teammates not to be careless...

   This allows the Blazers coach to fish again after the inter-season break has changed.

   also made the coach on the other side jealous just by seeing the players of the Blazers!

  There is no leader, Hubby-Brown knew it.

   This leader does not depend on strength. It can be an experienced locker room veteran, an indomitable sixth man, or even an old fish next door to the defender.

   The problem is they don't have the Grizzlies!

not a single one!

   For several games, Hubie Brown lamented the lack of such a person.

   But the record of 50 wins and 32 losses means that most of the time is winning. As a youth army and an emerging team, there are many problems to deal with, and it has not reached the point where it is impossible to continue to improve without a leader.

   Hubby-Brown sees this as a problem to be solved in the future.

   But tonight the problem became extraordinarily serious.

After a period of   , Hubie Brown found that the Blazers were the weakest in the top five in the Western Conference, but it was definitely the one that restrained them the most.

  What should his team members do when they see the rookie on the opposite side?

   Seeing the rookie on the opposite side, his players thought of the 52 points and the 62 points the Lakers were hammered not long ago...

   Also, this rookie should have been theirs!

   Don't talk about the players, he, the coach, is very emotional every time he thinks about this!

  …

   Back from the break, the Grizzlies sent Earl Watson, Dante Jones, Shane Battier, Stromaire Swift, and Jack Chakalidis.

  The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Outlaws, Raheem, and Dale Davis.

  The Blazers took the lead, and Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced.

  88kg Earl Watson, 95kg Dengtai Jones, 100kg Shane, paired with Swift, 218cm + 129kg to deal with O'Neal.

   The Grizzlies' strategy is obvious at a glance - hand to hand!

   Liu Xiu passed the ball to Derek Anderson after arriving in the frontcourt, and started running without the ball. Derek Anderson launched an attack, Liu Xiu looked for an opportunity to respond, and Rahim was the first end point.

  Rahim was blocked by Chakalidis at the top of the arc in the reasonable collision zone. He really couldn't beat the Grizzlies Crandorf, but Gasol was not the only one.

   After Hubby Brown's repeated emphasizing and scolding during the break, the Grizzlies' defense was normal this time, and it was time to switch defenses.

   However, there is always a chance!

   Liu Xiu’s flank got a chance with Dale Davis’ cover. When Rahim stopped the ball, his first goal was to find Liu Xiu, and he passed it immediately.

  Liu Xiu took the screen and rushed to the position close to the bottom line on the right to receive the ball, turned left 90 degrees to face the basket and took off, Dengtai-Jones switched to the defense, but Liu Xiu turned and shot with a back!

   With the addition of the 25% shooting speed bonus of the 'catching and shooting expert', when Dengtai-Jones' hand covered Liu Xiu's shot point, the ball had already flown over his head...

   Feels good, Liu Xiu's catch turns around and makes a jumper!

   The bottom line fans started to cheer wildly after seeing this scene for a second!

   The fans at the scene didn't see the details clearly at first, but they played it back on the big screen, and the whole scene got excited!

   The Grizzlies players' thoughts were—just kidding?

   If Liu Xiu's agency hadn't said before that he didn't have time to participate in interviews while developing the fallback jumper, no one would have thought about it.

   In addition, the other players of the Blazers seem to be proud of their development of the fallback jumper, and the Grizzlies players cannot be allowed to think about this!

  34 to 16, the score difference came to 18 points!

   to the Grizzlies offense.

  Earl Watson organizes the offense, has a very strong command ability, and grasps the timing of the ball very well.

   Battier flanked the pick-and-roll and pulled it to the left bottom corner. Swift cut the ball without the ball to attract the defense. Earl Watson passed the ball to Shane, and Shane received the ball and hit a three-pointer!

  19 to 34, the point difference narrowed to 15 points.

  The tonnage is large, stable, and the action is not easily affected.

   Hubby-Brown's rotation has been praised by the commentators of major TV stations. This lineup does not look like a drop, it has no star flavor, but it is practical!

On the defensive end, the Grizzlies' lineup was more practical. Raheem tried to attack from a longer distance. The Grizzlies' defense adjusted in time. Raheem had to pass the ball to Dale Davis first. Transition, it's easy to pass, but the ball doesn't come back!

  The Grizzlies cut the pass defense against Dale Davis.

   It was Liu Xiu who found the opportunity to meet up again!

   But this time the chance was much worse, Liu Xiu received the ball at a big step outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Shane moved in time to block his attacking line.

There was not much time left for the attack, so Liu Xiu had to come by himself, quickly moved towards the right sideline, and came to a position of about 30 degrees on the right side. When he saw this, Shane immediately pressed up. He knew that this angle was Liu Xiu's long distance Cast the most accurate point.

Liu Xiu took a step back when the ball was combined, retreated beyond the three-point line, and avoided Battier. Fallback shot...

   Leaning on his raised right leg, Liu Xiu got a lot of space to shoot and threw the ball in time.

   Shane accidentally bumped into Liu Xiu's raised leg and knocked Liu Xiu down.

   Originally, the referee did not intend to sound the whistle, but the goal was scored!

   The referee blew his whistle when he saw this, Shane Battier fouled defensively, Liu Xiu's three-pointer was effective, and he would be fined!

   The live fans went crazy!

  37 to 19, the difference came to 18 points, and Liu Xiu also got an extra penalty!

  Liu Xiu never thought that this ball could be scored, it was pure luck.

   Grizzlies players don't think so either!

  The fans at the scene are simply supporting their own team.

   The Grizzlies players are looking at the details. As professional players, they can naturally see that Liu Xiu has really learned the fallback jumper!

   What have we lost?

   Confidence of the Grizzlies players took a hit!

  What comes to mind is the picture of them being scored 52 points by Liu Xiu at the beginning of the season.

   And they watched the live broadcast a while ago, and Liu Xiu beat the OK combination with 62 points in double overtime and the first scene in history.

Watching Liu Xiu go to the free throw line and hit the free throw line, he scored 6 points in a row to raise his personal score to 10 points, and at the same time widened the point difference to 19 points, Hubie Brown scolded and repeatedly urged the players to do well. The normal defense, at this moment, collapsed!

   The defense is normal, the defense is so good, Liu Xiu still scored 6 points in 1 minute, and continued to defend. Do you want to be bigger and stronger and create more glory, so that Liu Xiu can also set a record in the playoffs? For example, the first rookie in history to score 50+ in a single game in the playoffs?

   Block him! Can't let him score again!

  …

   "I'm really lucky, don't do this."

"give me a chance!"

   "I only vote once!"

   "It was an accident just now. I was passing the ball. He just fell in. Who would shoot like that!"

   After scoring 6 points in 1 minute from Liu Xiu's wave, the defense he encountered was even more brutal than the first quarter!

   He didn't give a chance at all, and there were even situations where he slipped out of the baseline without the ball and was double-marked, and Rahim entered the basket to catch the ball and dunk directly.

The double-marked off-ball appeared more frequently, thanks to a counterattack. At that time, Liu Xiu was being chased by a rotating white chocolate, and there were Grizzlies players waiting to block Liu Xiu on the front three-point line. Liu Xiu was on the other side. When the top arc is more than one meter away, the lob is given to the outlaw madman who is fast on the flank... The ball falls directly into the basket, which counts as a three-pointer.

It's his playoff debut. Although Liu Xiu didn't expect to score 36 points in his playoff debut like Rose did, he must rush for 20+ points in a single game. He scored 10 points in just 1 minute in the second quarter. And then 13 points at halftime...

It was not only the score that was affected, but also the assists. The opponents attacked closely, passed the ball out and let his teammates take charge of the reception. It was better for the team. He did it. To the effect, he felt really delicious!

   In the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked really well. They scored 25 points in a single quarter. They felt really good, and they actually scored 25 points in this slow-paced hand-to-hand combat.

   But the Trail Blazers scored 33 points in a single quarter... 1 point more than the first quarter!

   After halftime, the Blazers led 65-41, and the game was over at halftime!
