   Chapter 443 443. Warden VS Demon Sword (4000 words yesterday's second update)

   Just now, when Maurice Cheeks read out the list of players who played in the last 34 seconds, Liu Xiu received a system prompt!

   "There are only 34 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers where the host belongs is 5 points behind the Spurs, and the host gets the chance to play at the last minute. Talent: Maimang triggers.

   Bonus effect: During the rest of the game, the host will enter a state of hot feel, and each time a ball is hit, the hot feel will be further improved until the shot is missed or the game is over. "

Because there is no 'Maimang' in the 'Buff' section, and there is only 'Grand Magician' in the talent section, the talent tendency card 'Maimang' is placed in the warehouse with a bunch of food. Ten games have passed, and before it becomes a talent, it can only be triggered when playing against the Spurs, and the trigger conditions are quite harsh... Liu Xiu didn't take this as part of his regular strength at all.

   The game idea of ​​normal people is to win the game by playing an advantage. Who will point to this?

   But now it is triggered, at this moment, this talent is a god-level talent that is not lost to any talent!

  Maurice-Cheeks watched Liu Xiu rekindle his fighting spirit and radiate his fiery confidence, and it also ignited.

   After a little thought, Maurice Cheeks let go of the tactical board.

   He really doesn't have any good tricks. He can set up a regular three-point tactics. There are as many key ball tactics as possible, but having tactics and being able to hit good shots are two different things. It's hard to say whether the tactics can be played.

   In the face of the Spurs, the key ball tactics are really not as important as personal ability.

   Liu Xiu didn't expect the coach to give him the tactical board directly, but he did not hesitate, took the tactical board and adjusted the lineup and tactics.

  The onlookers coaches and assistants watched Liu Xiu's arrangement... Good guy!

   Warden's arrangement, should this be said to be arranging tactics? Or take the losing pot on yourself at the last moment?

  …

   Players from both teams returned to the field.

  Duncan brought Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bowen, and Mohammad on the court. The Spurs' best defensive and most comprehensive lineup was their starting lineup.

   was finally going to win, Duncan looked at the warden as he stepped onto the field. He was already thinking about which motorcycle to ride tomorrow morning to invite the warden to breakfast.

   The four teammates Liu Xiu chose to play with him were Momo, Rahim, Randolph, and McDyess.

   After the timeout, the Blazers chose to serve in the frontcourt. The referee blew the whistle to continue the game and sent the ball to Rahim who was out of bounds.

   Momonga immediately started to move.

   Muhammad interferes with Rahim's serve.

  Duncan stays at the free throw line, and can retract the rim guard at any time and expand to the top arc area to prevent shots, and the flank defense is also within his defensive coverage.

   Parker followed in the footsteps of Momonga, Ginobili went around the front defender McDyess to catch the ball, ready to switch to the screen of the pick-and-roll master, Bowen stuck close to Liu Xiu.

   The Spurs' defense, mainly defending the three-pointers of Momoko and Liu Xiu, as well as mid-range and basket defense, but the Spurs don't think the Blazers will choose to shoot from the mid-range.

   Neither Liu Xiu nor Momo had the first chance to catch the ball, and Rahim sent the ball to Randolph who was a step beyond the free throw line.

At the same time that Randolph received the ball, the mouse, who was screened by McDyess on the left side of the three-point line, attracted the Spurs' defensive attention.

   At this time, the Spurs' defensive attention to Liu Xiu, who was still in the three-second zone and was followed by Bowen, was greatly reduced.

   For the three-pointers of Momonga and Liu Xiu, the Spurs mainly defended Momonga.

  Liu Xiu scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, but the shooting situation...only 8 of 23 shots, including only 2 of 9 three-pointers, plus 7 of 9 free throws.

   Momonga's three-point shooting was also not good tonight, 2 of 6 shots, but on the basis of always hitting the iron, the probability of Mumbai's touch breaking out is higher than that of Liu Xiu.

  The primary and secondary order, clear targeting, and firm execution of tactics... This is the key to the Spurs' stable defense for many years.

Liu Xiu rushed towards the top arc when Randolph received the ball. Randolph's body was facing the left sideline, but his eyes were aimed at Liu Xiu. He turned around and used his thick body to block the chasing Bowen!

   Liu Xiu catches the ball and uses a screen to rush out of the three-point line!

   Duncan is Duncan. When he saw Liu Xiu rushing from the three-second zone to the top arc, he realized the true purpose of the Blazers' attack, and immediately followed Liu Xiu's footsteps and rushed out.

But there is always a gap between the speed of the center and the point guard. Duncan is no longer the super-physical man with short-range acceleration comparable to that of a guard last year. The timing of the prediction was also late. Duncan bypassed Randolph and Bowen to chase three points. One step inside the line, before Liu Xiu had time to reach out, Liu Xiu had already turned around and thrown in!

   The smooth take-off and stretched shooting action after turning around... As one of the strongest defenders in the league, Duncan immediately judged that Liu Xiu's shooting feeling is excellent!

   As Duncan expected, the boos from the fans suddenly stopped.

  11 minutes and 30 seconds, the Blazers chased the score to 90 to 92, and the difference was reduced to two points!

   in? Just got in like that?

   Don't say that the fans on the scene were confused, the players on the field were just as stupid. The Blazers players looked at the warden who pulled his knee pads on the way back to the backcourt, and didn't react at once.

   Just now, they were disappointed that they were 5 points behind the Spurs for more than 30 seconds, and in an instant, the difference was only two points!

  Popovich called timeout after two seconds!

  The Blazers players were convinced at this moment that the Warden's three-pointer went in! The difference is only two points left!

   Not to mention the reactions of the other members of the Spurs team. Duncan, who was just thinking about what motorcycle to ride for breakfast tomorrow, has a premonition that he will make headlines again...

  …

   When Liu Xiuzhi stood up and his eyes flashed again, Maurice Cheeks rekindled hope.

   But he never imagined that Liu Xiu would go up to catch the ball and throw it, and then throw it and score!

   It seems that Liu Xiu has a good shot this time, and has a completed shot.

   But having a completed shot and being able to make a shot are two different things. It is said to be a complete shot, but in fact, Liu Xiu turned around and shot the ball at the fastest speed he could maintain stability, and there was no chance for adjustment.

   There were several opportunities like this before, but he made 2 of 9 three-pointers.

   Encountered high-intensity defense and high-intensity defense against the opponent at the same time, and the hand felt cold.

If there's an open catch-up shot that lasts more than a second or even two seconds, that's still possible, so Maurice Cheeks initially planned to have Fred Jones or Derek Anderson take the big shot, and then It's okay to be an extrajudicial fanatic or Raheem. Momonga and Liu Xiu, who hit 2+ three-pointers per game, can't have enough shooting opportunities at this time.

   At this time, Liu Xiu wanted to come by himself, and Maurice Cheeks was just looking forward to it. He really didn’t know how Liu Xiu would play.

   I didn't expect Liu Xiu to be so direct and enter so simply!

   Maurice-Cheeks naturally entered a state of ecstasy after being shocked.

   That's right, he entered the timeout, surrounded by the team members, and looked at the tactical board in the hands of the warden who was surrounded by him... Why did he have an inexplicable sense of crisis?

   came back from the suspension, the Spurs did not make any substitutions, they were still their starting combination.

   This lineup is their strongest lineup, both offensively and defensively.

   At critical moments, Popovich is still very stable...

On the Blazers side, Liu Xiu arranged for Payton, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess to play with him this time.

   This substitution surprised Maurice Cheeks, who was looking forward to what Liu Xiu could do.

   This warden is too stable!

   Even the heartbroken Popovich looked at the opposing lineup without reacting.

   He was very worried about the opponent playing something he didn't expect, something unexpected, he didn't know how to deal with it.

   But the opponent was so stable, and they sent the best defensive lineup in theory... But it was even more unexpected...

   The Spurs serve in the frontcourt and serve in the backcourt seems to consume more time, but the backcourt serve is very likely to be pressed by the whole court, and once a mistake is made, points may be lost immediately.

  The Spurs are also stable!

   The referee blew the whistle to continue the game and sent the ball to Manu Ginobili who was out of bounds... The demon sword was unsheathed!

   The first time he caught the ball, Ginobili dropped the ball directly!

  The position where the ball landed was on the left side of the basket, and Muhammad hit the basket!

   Another unexpected goal. It was so fast that the fans on the scene didn't even react to the goal and wanted to cheer.

  Others on the field didn't react the moment the goal was scored. The Spurs' offense was over, including the other four Spurs players... yes, including Mohammad himself who scored.

  If Mohammed hadn't looked up at that, Ginobili would have hit the rebound directly.

   The whole process of Muhammad's take-off and air-reception was as hasty and hasty, and he had to be in a hurry.

  Other people on the field didn't realize that there was such a chance, Ginobili found it, and passed it on!

   This kind of thing is shocking, the demon sword can't let the warden alone be beautiful!

   It took a second after Muhammad's aerial catch to score, and the fans on the scene responded and cheered.

   But the cheers immediately turned into exclamations, and Liu Xiu, who was the first to react, rushed towards the front court while shouting 'Pasmi'!

  Old Jianghu Payton reacted first, and on the right side of the three-second zone, he immediately picked up the ball and served a long pass.

   Payton's basic passing skills are very good. Liu Xiu crossed the center line and just received a pass from Payton.

Liu Xiu's counterattack caught the Spurs' frontcourt players by surprise. Bowen responded quickly. When Liu Xiu shouted 'Pasmi', Bowen was the first to keep up, but with long distance moves, Bowen was useless. .

   However, Manu Ginobili, who was at the center line, retreated! Parker also chased after Liu Xiu, and was rapidly shortening the distance between him and Liu Xiu!

Parker and Manu Ginobili had a very good defensive tacit understanding. Ginobili retreated to the middle distance. Parker followed Liu Xiu closely, trying to block Liu Xiu in the free throw line area for a pincer attack... But Liu Xiu didn't run to the middle, he Run to the right sideline!

   Manu Ginobili hurriedly moved over from the middle, but when he was approaching the right sideline, he was blocked by the teammate Parker who was equally unexpected and was also chasing hard!

   Liu Xiu made an emergency stop and turned outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right side, facing Parker's defense, and shot a three-pointer...

   This feeling is coming again!

   The last time I shot, I didn't feel deeply. This time, Liu Xiu felt that when he shot, the ball seemed to be part of his body.

   The silky feeling of throwing the ball out...the picture of the ball falling into the rim...

   At this moment, Liu Xiu became obsessed with three-pointers.

   This feeling is really no worse than the feeling of dunking through Duncan!

   Three-pointer hollow hit!

  Liu Xiu's personal score increased to 31 points! At the same time, help the team to chase the score to 93 to 94 with 24 seconds left!

   Popovich tried to call a timeout again, but his assistant coach Budenholzer stopped him in time, and their timeouts were exhausted! If you really call a timeout, you have to eat a technical criminal.

  On the court, Ginobili and Parker both looked like they had eaten something dirty. Under the urging of the referee, the two went to serve, and Liu Xiu pressed the defense Parker to receive the serve!

   Manu Ginobili passed the ball well, Parker was fast, and successfully completed the serve.

  Liu Xiu pressed Parker. Although Parker's mentality was blown up now, he still protected the ball very well. Liu Xiu failed to grab the ball.

   Trail Blazers foul count has come, Parker gets two free throws!

  …

  The commentators of the TV station were amazed at Liu Xiu's reaction speed.

   Clearly, the Blazers' goal when they came back from a timeout was to play steady, try to defend against the Spurs, and then play the final shot.

This is a very calm and correct choice. The Spurs' key ball ability is really bad. Even Manu Ginobili is not a stable key ball player. Expect him to give you an iron crit when he scores a goal.

   As a result, I didn't expect Ginobili to make such a pass!

   But Liu Xiu made adjustments immediately, taking the opportunity to switch between offense and defense, chasing the difference to 1 point!

Moreover, after reducing the point difference to 1 point, the mind is very clear that the attack time is only 24 seconds left, and the Spurs have the opportunity to run out of time without pausing. Sent to the free throw line, and when fouled, it is also ruthless.

   When Parker received Liu Xiu's slap on his forearm, his face twitched in pain.

   Parker walked to the free throw line at the urging of the referee. At this time, Liu Xiu came to the sidelines to discuss with the coach.

   The cheers at the scene turned into cheers, Liu Xiu turned to look at the technical platform, and Parker made the first free throw.

   Looking at Parker who was taking a deep breath and moving his wrist, Liu Xiu estimated that the opponent should make two free throws, which is a bit regrettable. Parker's key free throws have always been good.

   But you still have to be prepared, what if?

   When Parker was about to make the second penalty, the sound of a substitution sounded from the technical table.

  The Blazers replaced Momoko, Rahim, Randolph, and the extrajudicial fanatic and Liu Xiu continued to play.

   Liu Xiu came to the sideline of the three-second zone on the side of the free throw line, clamped Duncan with Randolph, and Rahim and Muhammad on the other side.

   The referee gave the ball to Parker again, and Liu Xiu suddenly shouted at Parker, "Has the price of gasoline increased tonight? Why don't you step on the accelerator when driving a sports car?"

  …
