Healing Basketball

   Chapter 693 Chapter 693. This guy definitely wants to grab the assist king

   At 11 minutes and 45 seconds into the first quarter, the score was 31 to 25. The Suns beat the Trail Blazers 16 to 10 in more than 5 minutes after returning from the timeout!

On the final attack of the first quarter, Liu Xiu suddenly gave McDyess a point. McDyess missed a catch and shot. Fortunately, after Liu Xiu passed the ball, he drilled inside and grabbed an offensive rebound while Tim Thomas and Marion were off guard. Pass to Ray Allen, Ray Allen catches the ball and shoots a 3…

  Go in!

   A few seconds, hand it over to Ray Allen!

  With 1.7 seconds left in the first quarter, Nash caught the ball in the backcourt and threw it out...out of bounds.

  After the first quarter, the Suns led the Trail Blazers 31 to 28 and entered the intermission!

Liu Xiu walked back to the bench resentfully. It's not that they didn't play well offensively. Tonight they played better than usual in the first quarter. Their offense has been slow this season, and their scoring average in the first quarter was low. The average level of the league, 28 points in a single quarter is not bad.

  It can be like facing Gundam. In the first 81 games, the first quarter averaged 32+! League number one!

   However, the Suns averaged 111.4 points per game, which is also the first in the league, and the first since the 1992-1993 season, surpassing their own last season and the Magic in the 94-95 season.

   Liu Xiu has checked, the last time the team with higher scoring average than the Suns this season was the Suns, the Suns averaged 113.4 points per game in the 92-93 season.

Liu Xiu felt that although he and his teammates were in a good state tonight, they were not bad. They could not be called explosive. Facing the Suns, which had the strongest offensive firepower in the league in the first quarter, when the opponent was in good form, Can bite the score... It doesn't seem to be a bad game!

Thinking of this, he became emotional, and praised Ray Allen who was drinking an energy drink next to him, saying that Ray Allen was the best three-pointer in the world. What did you hear.

  Ray Allen doesn't like such a compliment, but he doesn't hate it either.

  But he smelled a sense of crisis: Is the warden trying to work **** the three-pointer?

no! He thinks he has to work harder!

  …

  After the intermission, Liu Xiu sat on the bench.

  The coach sent a combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Ray Allen, Stevenson, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.

  Tonight, the Trail Blazers starters played significantly more minutes than they have in the past month.

  The final game of the regular season is over, and there is no need to rotate as before.

  Liu Xiu looked up at the big screen. He made 2 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists. These are the statistics of Nash in the first quarter.

   Liu Xiu looked at himself again, 2 of 4 shots, 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, not bad, but the offense and assists... He found that Nash said no, but his body was very honest!

  Opposite, Nash continued to start.

   It is obvious that the Wind Son is very eager to win the assist king.

  The other four players of the Suns are Barbosa, Diaw, Marion, and Kurt Thomas.

  After the start of the second quarter, the Suns continued to gain the upper hand, and their offensive firepower was upgraded to a higher level!

   Little Momonga fought hard to resist, but his chaotic combat ability was not so prominent when facing the Suns.

  The Suns blasted 15 points in more than 4 minutes, played a 15-10 climax of the Trail Blazers, opened the point difference to 8 points, and stopped the Trail Blazers with a score of 46 to 38!

  After returning from the timeout, Maurice Cheeks changed into a defensive lineup, and the combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Aaron Williams, and Mourning played.

  After this lineup came on the field, the major commentators were generally not optimistic.

  The reason they stated was quite recognized by the audience-when the Trail Blazers played against the Suns before, they tried to rely on defense to suppress the Suns' scoring operations more than once, but most of the time the effect was not good.

   But this time, the situation still hasn't changed...

  In the middle of the second quarter, the Suns scored 10 to 6. At 8 minutes and 11 seconds into the second quarter, the Suns scored 56 to 44, leading by 12 points! Stop the Trail Blazers again!

  The commentators are saying that the Trail Blazers still have a chance, and the 12-point difference in more than two quarters is not a natural barrier.

  The Trail Blazers changed the lineup and played the faces of the commentators.

Their predictions were wrong again. The Trail Blazers did not deploy an offensive lineup. Instead, they intensified and sent a lineup with a worse offense-a combination of Liu Xiu, Stevenson, outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess. Replaced by Maurice Cheeks!

   On the other side, D'Antoni sent a combination of Eddie House, Barbosa, Diaw, Tim Thomas, and Kurt Thomas.

   Nash, who scored 13 points and 11 assists in 20 minutes, was replaced for a rest. The number of Suns finally reached 8. In the first 20 minutes and 11 seconds, the Suns played with 7 players.

  The timeout is over and the game continues. Few commentators are optimistic about the lineup of the Trail Blazers.

   Even if Liu Xiu came back from a timeout and forced Barbosa to score 2+1, reducing the point difference to 9 points, no one cared.

  Then, Eddie House hit a three-pointer from Dior's goal, and once again opened the point difference to 12 points. The score came to 59 to 47, and there were more voices to look down on the Trail Blazers.

   Some commentators who didn't like the Trail Blazers made an evaluation: "There is an essential difference between a 70-win team and a 69-win team..."

In the rest of the time, the offensive firepower of the Suns was still fierce. Tim Thomas and Barbosa each scored a mid-range shot. Points... plus Eddie House's three-pointer, the Suns scored 10 points in the remaining 3 minutes and 49 seconds!

   After halftime, the Suns scored 66 points!

but!

  When Barbosa hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Suns' lead was not as big as when they entered the timeout at 8 minutes and 11 seconds!

After playing a 2+1, Liu Xiu made another mid-range shot with a step back, a counter-attack layup, and a three-pointer with a lateral move in singles. Without Raja Bell, without Marion, whether it is Eddie Howe Whether it's Barbossa or Barbossa, Liu Xiu is catching and beating each other!

  In 3 minutes and 49 seconds, Liu Xiu scored 10 points by himself.

  In addition, a layup by the extrajudicial fanatic and Kwame Brown made a dunk.

   In less than 4 minutes, the Trail Blazers scored 14 points!

   After halftime, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to single digits again, 58 to 66 behind the Suns by 8 points and entered the intermission!

  Although the Suns scored 35 to 30 in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers lost as much as 5 points in this quarter and were even more behind than the first quarter.

  But the Trail Blazers players are much more excited than at the end of the first quarter at this time, and they are determined to move forward!

   But when it entered the halftime break, the Trail Blazers grabbed the camera again-Stevenson slapped him on the forehead like crazy after the second quarter, and his teammates couldn't help it.

  Because Barbosa's three-pointer against the defense was made against Stevenson...
