  Chapter 996 Chapter 996. Narrow victory in the first battle! (4000 words)

   Played 45 minutes. As the main ball handler and the one with the most passes in the Trail Blazers team, he made only 3 turnovers.

   This was difficult for Liu Xiu last season.

   Liu Xiu's attitude of making great strides in many aspects at the same time made Nash numb.

   In another two years, when this guy reaches the peak of combining technology and physical fitness, will there still be any shortcomings?

   This guy even improves his defense every year!

   His judgment on the situation has become more mature!

  If Liu Xiu fires infinitely tonight, there will be Raja Bell on the outside, O'Neal on the inside, and the front line will attack... Nash feels that they have already established the victory.

  However, Liu Xiu chose to play the ball of opportunity, giving the ball regardless of whether his teammates shot well or not, so that his teammates could shoot boldly and find a touch.

   Being targeted at defense and open shots by teammates, Nash admires Liu Xiu's choice this time.

   During the preparation time before overtime, Zonda and Xiaobawang stood on the sidelines with their hips crossed like that. Terry Porter didn't bother the two, and replaced Barbosa, Raja Bell, and Dior.

   On the other side, the Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Korver, Randolph, and Chris Anderson.

   Soon, overtime began. The bully overwhelmed the Birdman to win the jump ball, and the Suns went first.

  Nash singled Liu Xiu, took one step horizontally to seize the time difference and quickly throw the ball. Liu Xiu could directly fly the racket with just one drop, but it was just a little bit short, and Nash hit a hollow three-pointer!

   47% three-point shooting rate, the big guy who averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, I really can't afford to provoke... Liu Xiu clapped his hands and ran back to receive the serve.

   After advancing to the frontcourt, facing Raja Bell's defense, Liu Xiu's excellent rhythm and acceleration as if the game had just started, changed direction in front of him and passed Raja Bell!

   Dior expanded to cover the defense, Liu Xiu took the initiative to lean forward, knocked Dior away with a back kick, then turned around and rushed inside, and took off! The little bully couldn't dodge in time, Liu Xiu rode the little bully and smashed the ball into the basket!

  The referee didn't give a whistle, and Liu Xiu turned around and retreated directly after landing.

  But the Suns did not start a fast break, but advanced slowly, pressing the rhythm.

   Liu Xiu, who retreated to the backcourt, felt very strange seeing this scene...

  Is this because the positional battle went smoothly tonight, forgetting that they originally played fast break?

In the regular time, O'Neal scored 36 points and did not play 10 minutes. The speed of the Suns seemed to be getting slower and slower. In the 4 minutes that O'Neal did not play in the final quarter, the Suns seemed to be slow. When he pulled it back completely, Liu Xiu didn't pay attention.

  Looking at it now, it turns out that playing basketball is not as simple as imagined.

  He began to think that the Suns could switch between two different stages of play when O'Neal was on the court or not. When O'Neal was on the court, he would grind the position, and when O'Neal was resting, he would play fast...

  The actual situation seems to be quite difficult.

   But this is not important tonight. Nash, who scored 28 points and 8 assists in regular time and just made a three-pointer, made another long two-pointer and raised his score to 33 points!

  Liu Xiu put aside distracting thoughts, he also chose to do it by himself, and hit a short-range throw!

  The cheers of the fans at the scene boiled up.

  MVP showdown!

   The two MVPs are constantly responding to the ball!

Then the Trail Blazers began to pinch Nash. The two pitchers Raja Bell and Barbosa made 0 of 3 shots in overtime, but the little bully received an even-pointed goal and made a mid-range shot and a cut to eat pie, scoring 4. point.

  Nash scored another long two-pointer after a pick-and-roll.

  Nash scored 7 points on 3 of 3 shots, and the Bully scored 4 points on 2 of 4 shots. The Suns scored 11 points in overtime!

   On the other side, Liu Xiu was also flanked after scoring two goals in the start, but this time he chose to rush! To die!

  O'Neal couldn't move anymore, and he couldn't reach out to interfere with the frame guard. At this time, Liu Xiu broke through, which is the strongest offensive method of the Trail Blazers!

  Liu Xiu made 4 of 7 shots in overtime, including 1 of 1 free throws, and Randolph scored a tip-up.

  11 to 11, the Trail Blazers and the Suns tied in overtime! The referee continues to work overtime!

The referee blew the whistle to enter the rest time. Nash put his hands on his knees. He made 12 of 21 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 35 points and 10 assists. He felt that he was going to be useless. .

   If you take 35+10 at a fast pace and feel as good as tonight, there is no problem. He is willing to add two extra time, maybe it can be 40+10, or even 50+10...

   But the slow tempo is killing him!

   As far as the increase in confrontation is concerned, it is a big trouble for a guard who is not strong like him.

  The Suns don't have Finley on the outside to take on the opponent's main defense.

  He looked at Liu Xiu, who was drinking vegetable juice, and he finally understood why Kobe, who was physically stronger than him and far stronger than him, was thrown up by this guy.

   This product's recovery ability is simply inhuman!

  Obviously everyone spent a few rounds of positional warfare together, and they were as tired as dogs together, but when they came back from a pause, they recovered...

  When the Suns played running and bombing before, the two teams also played overtime, but they played fast at that time, and Nash didn't feel much.

   This time in the positional battle, he felt the difference in physical strength for the first time in his career!

  …

  Nash wanted to rest for another two minutes, but the second overtime still started as scheduled.

  Kwame Brown, who only played 1 minute in the last overtime, started the second overtime. In the jump ball, he defeated O'Neal, who seemed more tired than when the regular time was over, and won the jump ball.

   After resting for more than ten minutes, O'Neill can't move anymore.

  Liu Xiu received the ball and charged at full speed!

  Go to the free throw line to grab the ball, dodge the defense with a European step, enter the inside line flexibly and quickly, take off and put in the basket to score two points.

  Hunting time is on!

Little Overlord’s performance plummeted due to his physical strength. His playing time was actually not bad, including the first overtime game, it was only 40 minutes, but he was never a strong man. Like O’Neal, he played in the playoffs for 5 consecutive years at his peak. With an average playing time of more than 40 minutes per game, it can kill the bully.

   O'Neal and the bully played together, and they didn't need the ball for singles. The offensive end stood on the edge of the three-second zone and watched, and they couldn't grab offensive rebounds.

   Only Nash is left to hold on.

  Nash took 9 shots in overtime and only scored 2 goals. Nash made 2 of 5 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 7 points.

   On the other side, Liu Xiu reached the second overtime and performed even better than the first overtime!

Except for Kwame Brown's missed layup, Liu Xiu took all the shots taken by the Trail Blazers in the second overtime game, making 6 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. Liu Xiu beat the Suns by himself. 14 to 7!

   At 10:58 p.m., the final whistle sounded.

   Made 20 of 31 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. Liu Xiu played 55 minutes and scored 52 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks!

  118 to 111, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns in double overtime and defended their first home game!

   "...comprehensive score S..."

   "Four unlikes: ... 1 win, 0 losses..."

  After the game, Liu Xiu was prompted by the system, and almost lost the best reward for this mission.

  Although he may not necessarily choose the talent of 'Son of the Wind', if he loses the chance to get the reward of 'Needed Talent Fragment -1' in the first match, it will indeed be very uncomfortable right now.

   The defending champion lost in the first game of the playoffs, and it was embarrassing.

   This time he scored 52 points. In addition to winning, his 50+ times in a single game also tied with Iverson, and tied for the first place in the 50+ times of active players in a single game in the playoffs!

  He didn't remember the record, but it was posted on the big screen.

  Teammates poured into the court, surrounded him, and celebrated this hard-won victory.

  He didn't think about how difficult the game was, and enjoyed winning! Enjoy 52 points to lead the team to reverse!

  …

   On the first day of the playoffs, the games were very good, and the fans were not disappointed.

  Want to see defense, yes!

   James made 2 of 18 shots, including 0 of 6 three-pointers and 8 of 12 free throws. He only scored 12 points, but he had 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals and 2 blocks!

   James' defensive performance tonight is more than top-notch!

  The Cavaliers already have a top-five defense in the league. When James, the core defensive core they surround, defends, only from the defensive end, they are comparable to the Bulls!

  But the Cavaliers can only score Larry Hughes and Big Z. The former scored 16 points and the latter scored 18 points, which is really not enough.

  On the Bulls side, only 3 players scored in double figures. Garnett made 13 of 22 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

   Hinrich 15 points and 6 assists, Pierce 17 points.

  79 to 72, the Bulls narrowly beat the Cavaliers by 7 points.

  Let’s not talk about some whistleblowing issues on the offensive end, just look at the defense. Time Warner Cable sports commentators Hubie Brown and Bill Walton called the defense of the two teams a textbook level.

   This kind of defense can be played under the current rules. If the defensive rules before 2004 are used, it will become a nightmare for the league.

  Want to watch the match, yes!

  In the final game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Iverson scored 38 points and Anthony scored 37 points. The two scored 75 points together and led the Nuggets to 119 points. The offensive efficiency is astonishingly high.

But for the Lakers, Deron had 22 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, Odom had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Fisher had 5 points and 3 assists, Wang Zhizhi had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Luke Walton had 6 points and 5 assists. , Frye 10 points and 2 assists, Joe Smith 8 points and 2 assists... There were 10 Lakers players on the field, 9 of whom scored 32 assists together, and the other lone wolf only sent 1 assist.

   Kobe made 16 of 25 shots, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 46 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

  The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 128 to 119 in the soaring score battle!

   There are also those who want to be funny.

   The game between the Pistons and the Magic was a game in which Beast doubted his life.

  When Yao Ming was on the court, Howard made 1 of 5 singles shots, 2 of 9 overall shots, and 0 of 2 free throws, scoring 4 points.

Yao Ming only played 28 minutes, while Howard played 46 minutes. Howard took a rest of two minutes when Yao Ming was on the court, that is, the time for the two to go to work was 20 minutes. In these 20 minutes, Howard scored 20 free throws. 8 of 20 free throws...

  The Pistons defended the same way as in the regular season, and the defensive response focused on the shark-killing tactics.

  Howard made 4 of 14 shots and 8 of 22 free throws. He scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. The Magic's offense collapsed directly, and the team only scored 72 points.

Pistons, Yao Ming 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Billups 12 points and 8 assists, Carter 17 points, Mark Hill 12 points, James Jones 10 points, Ben Wallace 5 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks …

  91 to 72, the Pistons beat the Magic.

   But the most popular game after the game was the game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns that received the least attention today!

  In double overtime, Liu Xiu scored 52 points in a single game, Nash had 42 points and 10 assists, O'Neal had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks...

  Before the start of the playoffs, people thought this series was the least suspenseful of the 8 series.

  The series between the Bulls and the Cavaliers was intense, and some people expected it. The Cavaliers' style of play is the **** stick style, and no one wants to encounter it.

   Didn't expect the Suns to push the Trail Blazers to that point.

   Shark fans are shocked!

  The Sharks can still play in the playoffs—this topic is even hotter than Liu Xiu's record of 50+ times in a single playoff game tied with Iverson!

  …

  Liu Xiu didn’t watch the news, play with his mobile phone, or touch the computer, and his family got used to his habits. Dad watched live broadcasts and news, but he always went back to his room to watch.

   At this time, everyone chose to talk to Liu Xiu about other things.

However, he still learned from Randolph how Yao Ming bullied Beasts during training in the afternoon. The hottest topic last night was that O'Neal scored 20+10 and his role in the playoffs was still very strong, but as of today , the hottest topic became the Pistons' shark-slashing tactic against Howard.

  Liu Xiu called Yao Ming and congratulated each other. After winning the first victory, Liu Xiu joked: "How could you do such a thing? Do you know how much damage the beast's young heart has suffered?

  Too brutal! "

  Yao Ming asked back: "Then the next time you play against the Magic, what will you choose to do?"

"Cough cough", Liu Xiu's voice was much softer: "Tell me about the method of getting Howard's mentality and the choice of the timing of the foul...cough cough, what is stealing, Howard will represent the US team in this year's Olympic Games, we are teammates, Fu Runde, this is the necessary information for our Olympic campaign..."

   After chatting with Yao Ming for a while, Liu Xiu hung up the phone, then isolated himself from the outside world, and practiced 200 more three-point training tasks before returning home.

   However, although he wanted to isolate the outside world from information, the first round of this year's playoffs was so exciting, another unexpected thing happened!

  After 10 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiu took a shower and came to the bed. Anne-Hathaway looked at Liu Xiu's figure in the most perfect stage, her complexion was ruddy. The two were about to do something that could not be broadcast, when there was a knock on the door! Knock and shout!

   is the voice of the unlucky sister! Fortunately, the young couple used to lock the door behind them!

  Anne Hathaway put on her pajamas and tied them up, came to the door and asked, "My dear? What's the matter?"

   "Brother, Annie, upset! The Spurs were upset by the Warriors in G1!"

   3 more 12,000-character begging tickets!
