Healing Basketball

  Chapter 695 695. Iron Mountain!

   When the third quarter entered the official timeout, the Suns led the Trail Blazers by 5 points 80 to 75, and the advantage was still there.

   The score of 14 to 17 in the half quarter is not that bad. The opponent scored an extra three-pointer.

  But the official timeout came back, and in the second half of the third quarter, the Suns only scored 9 points!

  The Trail Blazers "scored an extra three-pointer" in this half quarter and scored 12 points.

   After three quarters, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 87 to 89, narrowed the point difference to two points, and scored a single quarter score of 29 to 23 in the third quarter!

   Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 7 assists in the third quarter, which was higher than Nash's 6 assists in the first quarter!

   After three quarters, Liu Xiu's data increased to 27 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.

  Nash scored 5 points and 2 assists in the third quarter, and the data increased to 18 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists.

In the second half of the third quarter, D'Antoni called two timeouts, but he couldn't improve his offensive performance. He only scored 9 points in 5 minutes and 08 seconds. At that time, his face was flushed red like an ant on a hot pot. In general, tactical adjustments are actually not done well.

   After entering the intermission, he realized that he had been fooled!

  The physical strength of his team members has declined significantly!

   Looking back at the past three quarters, D'Antoni's pupils dilated.

  It was only then that he realized that the opponent's strategy had never been to increase their offense and confront them, and the opponent was not so stupid.

  The opponent is just using various strategies to interact with them!

  From the first quarter, the opponent was fighting them with all their strength, and it was the same for most of the second quarter.

  And he is very confident about offense, and has been using running and bombing to deal with it.

   But the problem is that he only has 8 people in rotation, and the activation list of 12 people on the opposite side takes turns!

The Suns continue to attack and charge with all their strength. They have no problem in one quarter, and they are okay in the half. When the festival entered the official suspension, it was already beyond what it wanted!

  D'Antoni thought of the expressions of the players at that time. The players were looking forward to and looking forward to the early arrival of the official timeout.

   After entering the official timeout, the relieved expressions of the players... He didn't notice it at the time!

  …

  The mentality of the coach of the Suns has exploded. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are actually not easy, and they dare not relax their energy!

  If Liu Xiu is given another chance to choose again, he will definitely think of other ways.

  As long as the Suns are in better condition, or their Trail Blazers' strategy execution is not firm enough, they will not be able to survive this time.

   After returning from a timeout, Liu Xiu and four teammates, Flying Squirrel, Outlaw, Raheem, and McDyess, walked onto the court.

  Forget about the difficulties ahead, it's time to reap the victory!

   I just don’t know what kind of adjustments the opponent will make... Well, Liu Xiu found that he was thinking too much, and the coaches and teammates also thought too much.

  The 5 players on the field are Nash, Raja Bell, Barbosa, Dior, and Marion!

  Moustache on the opposite side still hasn’t replaced the ninth player, even though he has James Jones, Jim Jackson, Brian Grant under him...he still needs 8 players to rotate around the world!

   Little Flying Squirrel slapped his hands and roared: "Don't underestimate the enemy, we are still behind, they are the one in the lead, let's overtake the score first!"

  The extrajudicial lunatic complained: "Your words sound careless."

   Little Flying Squirrel snorted, turned around arrogantly, and asked Liu Xiu for the ball. Liu Xiu smiled and signaled to the referee that she was ready.

  The referee blows the whistle and sends the ball to Liu Xiu, who then sends the ball to Flying Squirrel. The fourth quarter begins!

   Little Flying Squirrel advances to the frontcourt to singles Nash, breaks through the emergency stop and hits a jumper, which also causes Nash to foul and gets an additional penalty!

  Following the little flying mouse made an additional penalty, 90 to 89, the Trail Blazers went ahead by 1 point!

  D'Antoni reacted, regretted it, and finally put all his eggs in one basket, but the Suns players hadn't realized what happened, and the score was overtaken!

  At this time, Nash stood up and attacked with Dior in a pick-and-roll, breaking through the wing to score the ball. Raja Bell caught the ball and made a three-pointer...also scored!

  92 to 90, the Suns regained a two-point lead.

   But then Liu Xiu cut to catch the ball from the bottom line and smashed the ball into the basket through Marion, and the Trail Blazers tied the score again!

Then, the two teams played a few rounds, and the play was back and forth. The Suns scored 4 points, Nash made a mid-range shot, and gave Marion a cake. Although Marion didn't score, he won. Raheem fouled and made two free throws, which is not bad.

   But the Blazers are better at this stage!

Liu Xiuer passed the top arc to Rahim. After receiving the ball, Liu Xiu passed it back to Little Flying Squirrel. Little Flying Squirrel made a mid-range shot from a high position. The Trail Blazers scored 97-96, leading by 1 point and holding Ball!

  Without Kurt Thomas, Marion alone can't do basic frame protection at all.

  When Liu Xiu pressed down, the Blazers in the high zone were full of opportunities!

   It was the Trail Blazers attacking again. Flying Squirrel was the main attacking team for a few rounds. It was about to slow down. After halftime, it took the initiative to pull away and did not ask for the ball from Liu Xiu.

   Seeing this, the teammates began to adjust their positions. McDyess pulled to the top arc and helped Liu Xiu block Raja Bell. Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through!

  Marion, who expanded to defend against the pick-and-roll, was significantly slower than in the third quarter. Liu Xiu easily passed Marion, broke through on the right, and came to an emergency stop on the right side of the three-second zone.

   Raja Bell made it up!

  After being blocked by McDyess, he did not switch defenses with Marion, and retreated directly, and then rushed towards the advancing Liu Xiu.

   Liu Xiu grabbed the ball after an emergency stop, and Raja Bell rushed towards him. The fans on the scene were extremely nervous. Can the warden throw the ball under Raja Bell's defense?

  The on-site director also quickly directed the camera to adjust the lens, and the big screen switched to a panoramic close-up.

   At this moment, the tension of the fans turned into panic!

   Raja-Bell jumped towards Liu Xiu with a particularly ferocious expression... that's not the point! The point is that he didn't block the shot, but jumped up and clenched his fist, bent his arm, and threw his elbow towards Liu Xiu...

  A fan from beyond the baseline let out a piercing scream, then covered his eyes.

  The players on the field were also frightened by Raja Bell's actions.

but…

   Just when Raja Bell was about to hit Liu Xiu's head with an arm, Liu Xiu retracted the ball, with a cat waist, and lightly got under Raja Bell's body, and pushed her shoulders up...

   Raja Bell, who flew forward and swung his elbow, lost his balance before he was pushed up half a meter, and then fell heavily behind Liu Xiu, and slid a certain distance.

   In this scene, the whole scene was quiet.

  But in the next scene, everyone on the scene cursed in unison—after Liu Xiu overturned Raja Bell, he took off again, shot, shot...

   At this time, don't forget to turn the opponent's foul into a foul on shooting!
