   Chapter 610 610. The Power of the Surging West Coast

   Accepting that the winning streak is ended is actually a strong mentality.

  The fans can also see that they have tried their best in the first half.

Liu Xiu made 2 of 5 shots in the first quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws and scored 8 points. In the second quarter, he made 4 of 7 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws and scored 12 points, 20 in the half. Scored 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals... The warden has already hit this point, and is still behind, and the opponent is obviously more and more at ease in the second quarter.

   They have good reason to accept reality.

   However, it is more important not to give up easily!

   At the beginning, they were 8 points behind with only 30 seconds left, and their warden could make a comeback.

   It's only half time!

  Although Kwame Brown is missing, the interior defense has plummeted, but they have a warden!

   The expectations of the fans and teammates were conveyed to Liu Xiu. He was very excited, but he still tried to calm himself down, devote his attention to the game, and reviewed the scoring in the first half.

   The players who started the third quarter of the two teams came to the court.

   Mavericks lineup: Harris, Daniels, Stackhouse, Ratliff, Dampier.

   Blazers lineup: Blake, Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Randolph, Scotishvili.

Liu Xiu looked at the lineups on both sides. Although Randolph was present, he couldn't rely too much on him. He needed to create opportunities for the strongest inside teammate to draw the water. The center is still a pit... In such a situation, you don't need to care so much. .

   The third quarter started on time, and the Mavericks took the lead.

   Harris pushes forward to give Stackhouse the ball, then pulls away to maintain a cutting threat and take away Blake.

  Daniels calmly moved to the bottom line shooting area, he knew that his singles Liu Xiu was very difficult.

   But they still have Stackhouse!

   The former Jordan successor did not disappoint his teammates. Stackhouse made a strong shot from close range and scored two points!

  Stevenson is not too uncommon to scold Scotishvili, and the pace of defense is maddeningly slow.

   The difference is 10 points!

   Offensive and defensive transition, Blake advanced to the front court and passed to Liu Xiu, who was leaning on Daniels high on the right side of the free throw line.

  Daniels defended very hard, but still couldn't hold Liu Xiu's tyrannical power, and was turned around by Liu Xiu.

   But as Daniels expected, Liu Xiu's start after turning around made Daniels feel dazed, forcing Daniels to retreat.

   Liu Xiu made an emergency stop on the right sideline of the three-second zone. Daniels retreated too hard to make up for it. Ratliff made it up, but Liu Xiu's 'talent: Jets' triggered! Bounced up quickly, Ratliff failed to interfere in time to fill the position.

  Liu Xiu hits a close-range pull-up jumper against Ratliff's supplementary defense!

  It was the Mavericks’ turn to attack. Stackhouse continued to break through with the ball, attracting Liu Xiu’s flank to make up the defense and giving it to Daniels.

  Daniels scored the inside line from the bottom line, Randolph actively filled it up, Daniels scored Dampier, Dampier squeezed Scotishvili and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Liu Xiu was also speechless. He felt that Sgotishvili was so miserable as the No. 5 pick of the center Danian. He should have something different, counterattack or something. Tonight is the last day of the 10-day short contract. Now, why should we have a goal or two?

   is really no reversal at all.

   Offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu continued to catch the ball from a high position and play with his back. Daniels prepared to retreat in advance to avoid being panicked when Liu Xiu turned around and attacked, and did not want to give Liu Xiugang such an easy emergency stop jump shot.

   Liu Xiu keenly discovered the opponent's defensive intention, turned around and feinted, tricked Daniels into retreating, then took a step forward, turned over, made a jumper...hit!

  59 to 67, the point difference narrowed to 8 points again.

   When the Mavericks attacked, Blake and Liu Xiu actively contracted the inside line. Daniels received the ball to Harris, who was half a step outside the free throw line. Harris took the ball and made a two-point shot...missed!

  Liu Xiu got stuck on Cattriff, 'Buff: Rock solid' was triggered, the take-off interference caused by the confrontation when grabbing the rebound was greatly reduced, grabbed the defensive rebound, and fought back!

  'Talent: Momonga' triggers, counterattack speed +3!

   Harris, who was chasing and defending Liu Xiu, felt his scalp tingling. They were basically the same height, but the opponent was a lot stronger than him, and his speed was not worse than that of a player known for his speed!

  Although Harris struggled to keep up with Liu Xiu, and bravely stuck to Liu Xiu after Liu Xiu entered the three-point line, but he just stuck, barely able to limit Liu Xiu's speed...

  Liu Xiu took Harris into the basket and made a layup!

   The referee's whistle blew, Liu Xiu's goal was effective, and Harris blocked the foul!

  The fans booed Harris.

   The bottom line has fans shouting "Useless rookie, not even qualified to let the warden dunk".

   Harris is so sad: I'm in the second grade! Not a rookie!

   Taking advantage of Liu Xiu walking to the free throw line, the general replaced Harris with Terry.

The general found that Harris is really not very useful when the team's offense is not good. The defense can't be defended, and the offense can't be a threat point. There are only occasional counterattack opportunities, but he is strong on both sides of the offense and defense. Harris was exceptional when his starting teammates were paired together.

  Liu Xiu also made a penalty and scored 7 points in a row, helping the Trail Blazers chase the score to 62-67, narrowing the point difference to 5 points!

   When the Mavericks attacked, Terry advanced to the frontcourt and came by himself. Blake's horizontal three-point jumper shot in the singles...in!

  Terry's take-off speed was comparable to that of an extrajudicial fanatic. As soon as Blake stood on tiptoe, Terry had already thrown the ball in the air.

  70 to 62, the point difference came to 8 points again.

   When the Trail Blazers attacked, Randolph thought that he should make a move, but just as he was about to get into the position, he heard Liu Xiu shouting "waiting for the cake" in the top arc.

  'Wait', Randolph didn't understand, he forgot what it meant, but he remembered 'eat pie'.

  Randolph didn't refuse, just keep paddling, looking for opportunities to cut in or pull away.

  The Mavericks' tyrannical offensive firepower kept pressing the Blazers at all times, but Liu Xiu didn't care about this pressure at all.

  What's the matter with love, anyway, he fought hard, he can beat him if he can, but he can't be beaten down!

  Liu Xiu continued his singles onslaught without any pressure, and gave full play to his scoring ability and offensive desire that he had never fully demonstrated this season.

  You have to vote if you have a good chance, if you don’t have a good chance, you will vote hard, if you don’t have a chance…

In the second half of the third quarter, Maurice Cheeks replaced Ray Allen, Outlaws, and McDyess, and partnered with Liu Xiu and Randolph. Liu Xiu's style of play remained the same. ! Just vote!

came back! The familiar feeling of teammates is back!

   The surging power of the West Coast is back!

   Continuing the momentum of scoring 7 points on 3 of 3 shots at the beginning of the third quarter, Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots in the next 10 minutes, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, soaring 13 points!

   The mid-range shot is the main choice, and the frame attack is the secondary choice. There are not many counterattack opportunities, so try to seize them.

   This is the attacking method Liu Xiu thought about by reviewing the situation in the first half before the start of the third quarter.

The second pass of Randolph and the Extrajudicial Maniac is very important at this time. The Mavericks did a good job of defending Liu Xiu when they attacked Liu Xiu. The two sent a lot of beautiful passes at this time. Ray- Allen scored 6 points in this half quarter, plus Randolph's 4 points and McDyess' 5 points. Although the Trail Blazers only had 4 points, they scored 35 points in a single quarter!

  The performance of the Mavericks is not bad. The defense has done a good job. The Blazers did not let the Blazers step on the accelerator and they performed very well on the offensive end.

   Stackhouse, who held up Liu Xiu's offensive at the beginning, and Terry, who fought against Liu Xiu in the middle, played extremely well.

In the second half of the third quarter, when Liu Xiu led the team, Daniels took advantage of Dirk Nowitzki's restraint to pull the extrajudicial madman to the sideline, and took advantage of Terry's singles threat to score or Create scoring opportunities for Dampier and Josh Howard... 33 points in a single quarter!

   After three quarters, the Mavericks led the Trail Blazers 96-90 by 6 points and entered the final quarter!

  …

  The Mavericks had a big blowout tonight, and normally, tonight is a night where they shine.

   But... 14 of 24 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 10 of 11 free throws, Liu Xiu soared 40 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in the third quarter!

   King Silver Horn looked up at the data on the big screen. He really didn't feel much. He saw something even more violent not long ago.

   It's a big deal to get more than 60 points by the warden, what a big deal!

   Win!

  He wants to win!

After getting 75 points by Kobe Bryant, the Mavericks went through the most fearful period of time. The last time they played against the Blazers, it was the stage they were most afraid of. After they didn't score many points, they were not afraid. Not only were they not afraid, but they also had confidence... This was the source of the Mavericks' initial winning belief when they stepped onto the court.

   After entering the inter-season break, listening to Terry roaring "that guy is not our opponent with 40 points in three quarters, we will definitely win...", the teammates thought that was the case!

   The core lineup of the Mavericks has not changed. Most of the players who participated in the playoffs last season and were beaten by the Trail Blazers are there. At this time, they are extraordinarily united and their desire to win is extraordinarily strong!

  The same thing is completely different to different people.

   In the face of Liu Xiu, who scored 40 points in three quarters, he could still maintain a 5-point lead, so the Mavericks continued their previous confidence and were encouraged.

  For the Trail Blazers, it was also encouraging - they felt like they were going to collapse, and the Warden narrowed the 2-point gap by himself without letting the opponents ruin the game!

   When the last intermission ended and the players stepped on the court again, the players on both sides were very excited.

   Blazers lineup: Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Outlaws, Raheem, Randolph.

   Mavericks lineup: Terry, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier.

In the fourth quarter, the game started on time. Liu Xiu used Randolph to cover and break into the inside line. Randolph's pick-and-roll quality was not good enough. Josh Howard got a chance to attack Dampier. Liu Xiu passed the ball, and Stevenson, who responded Missed a straight shot under the basket.

Nowitzki protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Terry. Terry advanced to the front court and then passed it back to Nowitzki, who was a step inside the three-point line. Nowitzki received the ball without stopping, and took advantage of the trend to take a three-point shot. …

   The extrajudicial fanatic didn't get distracted, and the interference was in place at the first time. Nowitzki was already prepared, and he added a back and threw the ball... in!

  Nowitzki turned his head and clenched his fists to cheer himself up, trying to retreat.

  Liu Xiu recalled Nowitzki's attack just now when he received the serve and pushed forward... Simplify it?

   King Silver Horn did not give up, he has been working hard to improve.

   It’s just that the goal just now was just luck.

   After advancing to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu continued to play pick-and-roll with Randolph. This time, he did not leave any room. After the pick-and-roll, there was only one goal - the basket!

Liu Xiu took the initiative to turn his back around Dampier. Sure enough, Randolph did not block the person, mainly because Josh Howard defended well. In the face of Josh Howard's supplementary defense, Liu Xiu directly faced Josh Howard to the inside. sudden.

However, although the pick-and-roll failed, it was not completely useless. Liu Xiu took advantage of the bonuses of 'Buff: General' and 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Guard', and used Josh Howard to dash into the interior at a faster speed, reducing the A chance for Josh Howard to make defensive moves!

   At close range, Liu Xiu forcibly took off, "Talent: Jets" triggered, the bullet speed, bounce improved, shooting stability improved... Against Josh Howard, he forced a layup!

  It is purely personal ability!

  98 to 92, the Mavericks still lead by 6 points, but they dare not be careless.

   When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki was going to do it again, but as Liu Xiu expected, although Nowitzki had an idea for the ball just now, it still depends on luck.

   But Josh Howard rushed to grab an offensive rebound and made a tip-up, and the difference came to 8 points again.

   It's Liu Xiu's turn to attack, he is not impatient now, and his thoughts are not complicated, just one thought - bite the score, bite the score, bite the score!

   As long as you can bite the score, you still have a chance!

   Attack! attack! Still attack! If you can't defend against it, then attack with your life!

   This time, Liu Xiu did not play singles, but tactics. The extrajudicial fanatics caught the ball at the top and Randolph stuck in the low position. Liu Xiu started the offense mode without the ball.

Randolph, who had been paddling for a long time, finally got his job done. He did an excellent job of catching the ball and making a setter. Liu Xiu turned around and got a short chance to catch and shoot the ball. Randolph tacitly sent the ball to Liu Xiu's hand. inside.

Liu Xiu received the ball from the 30-degree three-point line on the right and took a jump shot against Stackhouse, who was in the defense. With the addition of the 'Jets', he successfully avoided Stackhouse's interference and hit a three-pointer. !

   When the Mavericks attacked, Terry singled against Liu Xiu, suddenly jumped into the free throw line, and made a mid-range shot without a sense of rhythm... also scored!

   Liu Xiu is playing for his life, so is Terry!

   Not only the two, but the other players of the two teams have already entered the state of 'it's impossible to breathe'.

   The coaches of the two teams are actively thinking about tactics, analyzing the game, and seizing the opportunity of tactical replacement and lineup rotation, and do not want to be delayed in these aspects!
