Healing Basketball

  Chapter 658 658. Fastest 50 wins!

   Randolph made a tip-up and caused a foul by Nesterovic!

   The referee confirmed that Randolph's goal was valid, and a penalty will be added!

The butcher, who had been aggrieved for three quarters, roared angrily, shaking his flesh and drooling. The referee was very experienced and turned his head away immediately, so as not to be tempted to give the technical offender... in the first half, he had already given the parallel champion a technical due to similar scenes. It is not appropriate to give two players a game, even if it is given to two different players.

   After celebrating, Randolph walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw.

  With 3.6 seconds left in the clock, the Spurs sent a shot to the center line, and Ginobili caught the ball and threw it out... A "clang" sound hit the basket's neck, which startled the Trail Blazers and caused sighs from the fans.

   After three quarters, the score was 87 to 77, and the Trail Blazers led by 10 points!

   Entering the intermission, Popovich first caught Parker and scolded him.

   Everyone is used to it. Although they sympathize with Parker, let Popovich vent his anger first, and see if the old man can come up with something.

   After Popovich finished scolding, he began to think of a way, but he hadn't figured out how to adjust his own side, but first thought of how the other party might adjust.

   Subconsciously looking across, Popovich wanted to scold Parker again.

  The opposite player who took off his training uniform and surrounded the defensive assistant he didn't remember was Payton, Stevenson, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

  Familiar taste, familiar formula... As Popovich expected, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers slammed defense from the beginning.

No matter how Popovich makes adjustments, the Trail Blazers are unmoved, insist on playing defense, insist on slamming, and the lineup rotation is only replaced by Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, McDyess and other defensive players. Liu Xiu strengthened both offense and defense. In terms of actual defensive effect, Liu Xiu is the one that the Trail Blazers defended best against Parker...

   With a 10-point difference, the Spurs couldn't catch up!

   Even in the middle of the fourth quarter, Bowen and Barry scored two consecutive three-pointers to narrow the point difference to 3 points. The Trail Blazers also relied on Liu Xiu's two strong inside shots to get 5 points...

  Popovich persisted until 11 minutes and 26 seconds into the game. Ray Allen received a long pass from Liu Xiu and hit a two-pointer. The Trail Blazers once again opened the gap to 8 points. Popovich broke the defense!

  Spurs bench, Popovich cursed "shameless", "shameless"...

  The fans behind the bench were ashamed when they heard the words, and when they had an advantage, they slammed the defense. Isn't this what the Spurs usually do? Why are you still cursing?

  When the fans were about to turn black on Popovich fans, he saw the time and point difference on the big screen. He understood and sympathized with Popovich.

  The current score difference is 8 points, and there are 34 seconds left...

  The miracle failed to reappear in 34 seconds, and the two teams did not even score in the last 34 seconds.

  Relying on Liu Xiu's 8 points and 2 assists in the final quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 18 points.

   The stability of the Spurs is really stable. The Trail Blazers have defended like this, and the Spurs still scored 20 points in the final quarter.

   However, winning by 10 points or 8 points is a win, and the narrowed 2-point difference has no effect on the final outcome.

  In the end, the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Spurs 105 to 97, improving their record to 49 wins and 9 losses. At the same time, they gave the Spurs their 13th loss this season, further consolidating their No. 1 throne in the Western Conference!

  …

  Although it was a fierce duel, the ratings of the game did not go high, only low...

  The Trail Blazers can't afford the ratings, and Time Warner Cable Sports is planning to give up the next few live broadcasts of their next few games against the Spurs.

  The post-match interviews were not lively, and the Trail Blazers returned to the hotel early to rest.

   After washing, Liu Xiu lay down and quickly fell asleep to enter the simulated training mode.

   "Competition score...comprehensive score A+, congratulations to the host for receiving 850 healing value rewards."

   "The so-called stability:

  Tim Duncan's game data: 10 of 16 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, 8 of 14 free throws, a total of 29 points, plus 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks.

  Tim Duncan's data has reached the average level of this season.

  Host data for this game: 15 of 33 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 10 of 12 free throws, a total of 42 points, plus 8 rebounds, 14 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks.

  The data of the host has reached the average level of this season, and the goal has been completed. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 5000 healing value.

  Remaining healing value: 41997. "

   Sure enough, it is too difficult to lower Duncan's data below the season's average performance in a strong matchup!

  Liu Xiu checked Duncan's data characteristics. When playing against weak teams, Duncan can only play for about 30 minutes.

  But when you play against a strong team, you usually play more than 40 minutes, and the data will increase by 20 to 30 percent!

  It seems that Parker is the Spurs scoring leader this season, but when it comes time to play a strong team, Duncan will perform to prove why he is a superstar and Parker just became an All-Star.

  This task, when Liu Xiu triggered the task, he didn't expect that the most difficult thing was rebounding!

  But I knew it when I was playing the game. With Duncan on the opposite side, Randolph, Kwame Brown, Raheem, Mourning and others didn't have time to help him block and counterattack.

  The opponent is very good at defending against fast breaks. If they don't have the ability of the Suns or Nets, don't always think about counterattacks.

  The most important thing is that Duncan's rebounding efficiency is among the top in the league all the year round, and he dare not get stuck in front of Duncan.

   His few counterattacks were basically when Duncan was replaced and rested before grabbing the rebound and rushing.

   Tonight can get 40+ in a single game. After reviewing the game, he felt that the butcher was suffering...

   Randolph made 4 of 9 shots and scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. The statistics are not good, but without his restraint in the paint, Liu Xiu guessed that he would not have so many high-post shooting opportunities.

  Reviewing the game against the Spurs, Liu Xiu felt overwhelmed, but also looked forward to continuing to play against the Spurs, such as a series or something.

  He could only mutter this thought in his heart, but he dared not say it.

  After the Western Conference Finals last season, he said that he wanted another round of the series against the Spurs. After speaking, he felt the eyes of his teammates wanting to rebel...

  …

  At noon on the second day, the Trail Blazers left San Antonio and came to Houston. They had a rest overnight. On March 5, the Trail Blazers came to an away game against the Rockets. The game started at 7:00 p.m. and ended at 9:27 p.m.

Liu Xiu played 39 minutes and made 10 of 21 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to an easy 102-84 victory. Team Rocket!

  Liu Xiu successfully set a record for the number of triple-doubles in a single season, raising it to 11 times.

  The Trail Blazers' record improved to 50 wins and 9 losses, becoming the first team to win 50 wins this season! Refreshed the record for the fastest 50 wins in the new century!
