Healing Basketball

  Chapter 884 884. Middle-aged blood of coaches

   Leading by 6 points at halftime, the morale of the Trail Blazers soared!

   After returning from halftime, the Blazers were ready to take the game with a bang...and then got beaten 25 to 17.

   The 6-point lead in the second quarter was gone, and it was overtaken by two points!

   Garnett made 3 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws, 10 points in a single quarter!

  However, Garnett's 10 points were scored in the last two minutes, and he beat the Trail Blazers 10-2 alone.

   In the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, Garnett played for 7 minutes and made 0 of 3 shots in 7 minutes.

  Before his wave of 10 to 2, the two teams tied 15 to 15 in the first 10 minutes.

  That is to say, the Trail Blazers held the advantage at the beginning, but Garnett broke out and threw in all three points.

   Liu Xiu calmly analyzed the current situation, and at the end of the quarter, he led his teammates to attack!

  As he expected, they have indeed suppressed the Bulls' offense.

   Garnett is indeed a top scorer. In the first 8 playoff games of his career, he played a total of 47 games and averaged more than 20 points per game.

   But wanting Garnett to continue to explode and continue to play the performance of the last two minutes of the third quarter, it really kills him...

  The Bulls returned to their performance in the first 34 minutes in the final quarter, scoring 19 points on 7 of 20 shots in the entire quarter.

   For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu, who averaged 8 shots in the first three quarters, finally made a shot in the final quarter!

  In the final quarter, Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws, 15 points in a single quarter, plus 4 assists!

  Simple and rough singles throw the ball in and attract pincers to score. There are also assists to help teammates get 12 points.

   The final quarter score was 27 to 19!

He made 14 of 33 shots, including 3 of 10 three-pointers and 9 of 13 free throws. Liu Xiu scored 40 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. 1 to 2!

  …

  G3 won, and the whole Trail Blazers team breathed a sigh of relief.

  After the game, the coaching staff continued to meet.

  Now they are working overtime every day.

  Liu Xiu’s efficiency tonight seems to be far less than the second game where he scored 39 points on 14 of 29 shots, but in the eyes of the coaching staff, his actual performance is far better than the previous game.

Liu Xiu’s style of play in G2 is back to what he did in the first two years of his career, relying on the abilities of his teammates and scoring with the help of his teammates. This is a style of play he is very good at. The statistics and efficiency are not low, but it can’t raise the upper limit of the team. role.

  Liu Xiu was inefficient tonight, but he was the one who supported the team, and he was the one who broke out and reaped the victory in the end.

  Tonight’s style of play, in the eyes of the coaching staff, is the safest choice. I believe in Liu Xiu’s strength, and believe in their offensive and defensive adjustments... But even so, winning is still very thrilling.

  As the coaching staff of the quasi-dynasty team, they are not afraid.

  The first two games were more torturous, but now that I have won one game, the pressure has eased a lot.

   They have now entered the state of "meeting the challenge", staying up all night to study the game, scratching the cocoons, looking for every possible point that can be used!

In the afternoon of the second day, when the Trail Blazers were preparing for the game, the coaches helped the players to adjust with dark circles under their eyes but full of energy. !

  Liu Xiu didn't expect that it was the coach who ignited first...

  From the boss throwing money to the coach's middle-aged blood, these unexpected episodes are really very important to their ongoing championship journey.

  …

  June 13th, at 8 pm, the Trail Blazers ushered in the fourth game of the Finals against the Bulls at home.

  After the game started, the Bulls took the lead in making adjustments!

   The Trail Blazers are not surprised. The Bulls lost the last game.

   It is the adjustment of the Bulls, which surprised the Trail Blazers-it is to strengthen the offense!

   The routine is good, use Ben Gordon to lead Liu Xiu away from the bottom line, reduce Liu Xiu, a second-level defensive helper, to shrink from close range, and Hinrich and Garnett pick and roll to attack the frame!

   Hinrich slammed into the basket tonight. The first quarter really had a miraculous effect. He only made 1 of 4 shots, but 10 of 10 free throws!

   Bo got 5 fouls, 2 shooting fouls, and 3 fouls when Bo got defensive fouls and made free throws. It doesn't matter whether he shoots or not.

   Hinrich scored 12 points in a single quarter, Garnett scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Bulls to a score of 28-24 in the first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 4 points!

  Morris Cheeks looked at Scott Skiles on the opposite side. The adjustment of the other party was very surprising, but he was really not surprised by the adjustment made by this guy.

  The two played against each other in the player era, in the same position.

  In Morris Cheeks' cognition, the opposite head coach is a weirdo!

  Looks like a mature and stable player, but from time to time, he can do tricks, such as getting 30 assists in a single game and killing an opponent by 40 points, this guy can do it.

  It was the same when they were coaching. The two of them entered the NBA coaching at the same time. They were both considered "young coaches" and regarded each other as competitors.

  In Maurice Cheeks' perception, this opponent is stable most of the time, but he often has tricks...tonight.

   It seems to have achieved good results, but a flaw also came...and Morris Cheeks discovered the opponent's flaw!

   In the second quarter, the Bulls wanted to continue to expand their advantage.

   Will Hinrich fight too hard? If you keep playing like this, will it be seen through by the opponent, and it will be difficult to use in the future?

These are not important. Everyone in the Bulls thinks it is not important. What they want is to win this game, then it will be 3 to 1, and if they get the match point, they will be the champion if they win another game, even if they win this game. Everything after the finals was seen through by the opponent. They have already won the championship, and that doesn't matter. They have worked hard until now, just for the championship!

   As the main attack point, Hinrich did a really good job.

  Stable shooting, sharp pick-and-roll, assisted by Garnett, controlled by Ben Gordon, and eaten by Chandler, the Trail Blazers couldn't think of a good defensive strategy for a while.

  However, Maurice Cheeks found that Hinrich was not very good at defending Liu Xiu's counterattack when he was in the main attack.

  Since you can't guard against it, go crazy!

  The more the Bulls score, the more points they get!

   Liu Xiu started the defensive counterattack mode!

After scoring 12 points in the first quarter, Hinrich made 6 of 9 shots in the second quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 16 points in a single quarter and 28 points in the half. It took only half a quarter for the top three scoring in a single game in the playoffs.

  Under his leadership, the Bulls scored 30 points in a single quarter!

But on the other side, Liu Xiu made 5 of 8 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter. Get 39 points in the first quarter!

  63 to 58, the Trail Blazers overtook the Bulls by 5 points and entered the intermission!
