Healing Basketball

Chapter 250 250. Stamp the sister-in-law!
This situation has been expected by the Trail Blazers. After all, they are the rare team in NBA history that can drag the series to the tiebreaker after falling behind 0 to 3 in the start.

Under the leadership of the coaching staff and the team's veteran players, the Trail Blazers did not slack off in preparing for the game.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, as Myers narrowly beat Lorenzen Wright in the jump ball, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Grizzlies kicked off in G3!

Lorenzen Wright hadn't had time to make eye contact with Miles, who was worthy of my opponent, when he was stuck by Randolph.

Gasol was also entangled by McDyess. He had an obvious speed disadvantage and couldn't get rid of it at all. He could only be forced to fight to find opportunities.

Under the leadership of Randolph and McDyess, the Trail Blazers started another defensive battle!

The Grizzlies did not hesitate. Seeing the Trail Blazers playing like this, they took the initiative to keep up.

Under the current rules, if a team wants to fight an iron-blooded battle and has the ability to fight, then unless the opponent's offense is as strong as the Kings before Weber's comeback, or as unstoppable as the Lakers, they can only keep up.

If you don't follow, you will suffer.

This is the reason why the league directly banned 'hand-check'. In the past 10 years of development, the coaches have thoroughly understood the iron-blooded combat method, and anyone with the right lineup can play.

The Grizzlies finally came to their senses tonight, they stopped staring at Liu Xiu alone, and chose to defend normally.

Liu Xiu looked for an opportunity to attack two goals at the beginning, a low post turnaround jumper, and a European step. Hell, he didn't score, allowing the Grizzlies to truly enter the normal defensive mode.

In the middle of the first quarter, Liu Xiu missed another shot, 3 for 0, and he unilaterally declared in his heart that he had failed to break the record of God today.

However, his shots are all necessary shots. As before, there is no situation in which he is in a hurry to shoot, and it does not have much negative impact on the team's overall offense. Instead, it maintains the stable operation of tactics.

It's not just that the Trail Blazers can't make shots, and the opposite Grizzlies can't make shots either.

After the official timeout came back, Liu Xiu was replaced, and the double guard combination of Little Flying Squirrel and Derek Anderson was replaced.

The performance is not good, and the warden has to be replaced for a while.

At 11 minutes and 46 seconds into the first quarter, Gasol caused a foul and made two free throws. The Grizzlies led the Trail Blazers by 18 points 16-2.

Taking advantage of Gasol's free throws, the Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu, Flying Squirrel, Harrington, Raheem, and Randolph.

Raheem and Randolph were full of impact and threats, and Little Flying Squirrel and Harrington started the game of sudden points + auxiliary control. Liu Xiu seized the opportunity and came to the bottom corner on the right, and Harrington's setter was timely and in place.

Liu Xiu catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer...Goes in!
'Catch and Shot Specialist' hot catch-and-shoot bonus is here!
As the Grizzlies missed a three-pointer at halftime, after the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Grizzlies by 19 point 18 to 1 and entered the intermission!
……

Back home, with their own fans cheering, the mentality of the Grizzlies players is different.

In the first two games, Liu Xiu scored such a three-pointer to overtake the score. Their mentality will definitely fluctuate violently.

But tonight they looked at this quite calmly. After the start of the second quarter, they continued the offensive and defensive rhythm of the first quarter and increased their investment in the offensive end!
The turning point of the game came back from the official timeout in the second quarter. Hubie Brown’s tactics were subtle and created two corner three-point opportunities for Battier. Battier made two shots!

这波6比0，点燃了灰熊队的士气，打到第二节末尾的时候，灰熊队以47比37领先开拓者队10分！单节29比18！

But at the critical moment, when Liu Xiu saw another chance to run around the baseline for a three-pointer, the Grizzlies players still unconsciously cut Liu Xiu's chance to pass and catch the ball, to block Liu Xiuwan's shot after receiving the ball... …No way, the shadows are too deep.

At the end of the second quarter, Raheem, who replaced Randolph, cut in the middle to receive the ball, and Gasol smashed the ball into the basket through the supplementary defense.

The whistle sounded, Gasol fouled, Rahim dunked and scored effectively, and there was an additional penalty!
With Rahim making an additional free throw, Battier caught the ball at the last moment and missed Harrington's long two-pointer. After halftime, the Grizzlies led the Trail Blazers by 47 points 40 to 7 and entered the middle. field break.

……

With 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the half, Liu Xiu's scoring was limited tonight, but he has been doing what he should do.

The numbers aren't great, but the comments from the TV commentators at halftime were pretty good.

Everyone can see that Liu Xiu's shooting is restricted badly, which leads to his poor attacking effect, but he didn't let himself be the point that the Grizzlies can use to attack!
This rookie is really too stable. He has 62 points in a single game. In the playoffs, he can only take 10 shots per game!

Also tonight, only 7 shots in the half, 4 in the first quarter and 3 in the second.

And this is exactly where Hubie Brown, the oldest coach in the league in the Grizzlies locker room, hurts.

He wanted to use Liu Xiu as a breakthrough. He could tell from the beginning that Liu Xiu was no longer in the end of the regular season, but Liu Xiu didn't have to "prove himself" like other rookies after his state declined.

Hubie-Brown is really helpless now, they lead by 7 points, right, but the rebound ratio in the first half is 15 to 24, their rebounds are 9 less than the opponent, Gasol has 2 rebounds in the half, the offensive end is more Consumed by McDyess or Raheem, and defensively consumed by Randolph or Harrington, the series has played two and a half games, and the combined rebounds are less than 10...

They took the lead by making 11 of 7 three-pointers in the half!

When the Trail Blazers adjusted to the iron-blooded style of play, the Grizzlies' advantage in the center position was greatly weakened.

As for the Trail Blazers, although it hurts to fall behind by 7 points at halftime and lose the feeling of how to play in the first two games, they are mentally prepared, and they lead 2-0 without panic!

Liu Xiu was a little anxious, but he knew very well that the more he was like this, the more calm he had to find an opportunity.

In the third quarter, the warden's opportunity still hasn't arrived... In a single quarter, there are only 3 shots that should be made, 1 misses, [-] foul and [-] free throws, no other points, but [-] steals!And the team's defensive performance is excellent!

In this quarter, although the Grizzlies made 5 of 2 three-pointers, they only made 19 of 8 shots in the whole quarter, and only made 2 of 1 free throws. They only scored 19 points in a single quarter.

Driven by Liu Xiu Harrington with 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, the Trail Blazers scored 21 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the three quarters, the score was 61 to 66, and the point difference was reduced to 5 points!
……

Be patient in the game. Liu Xiu's patience has always satisfied the Trail Blazers coaching staff, and they will be even more satisfied in the playoffs.

Tonight, Liu Xiu played a total of 21 minutes in the first three quarters. He was replaced when he needed to fight, and was replaced when he didn't need it. Better defense.

就算三节只有10投3中只拿到8分，但8板5助攻4抢断的表现，非常好的利用到了场上铁血对抗的打法节奏，以及对方对他依旧重视的防守。

The Grizzlies' low emphasis on Liu Xiu's defense is compared with the previous two games. If we really want to say that the Grizzlies' defense of Liu Xiu is not as important as it should be for a player who made 10 of 3 shots.

Back from the intermission, the Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess.

The Grizzlies sent Earl - Watson, Mike - Miller, Battier, Swift, Gasol combination.

chances are for people who are prepared.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu went straight to the basket, walked up with a European step, Gasol turned around to make up the defense, Liu Xiu took off and made a layup, 63 to 66, and the point difference narrowed to 3 points!
When it came time for the Grizzlies to attack, Gasol turned around and hit a jumper in a post-up single, and he returned the favor.

Gasol is the leader of the new generation of power forwards in the league, and Liu Xiu is known as the 'No. [-] rookie in history'.

Tonight's game was so intense, the Grizzlies captain time to maintain the lead, Gasol came to a response ball, the fans shouted 'Warden'.

Liu Xiu really went to sit in the lower seat!Hit back!

Gasol is very smart and knows that Liu Xiu wants to attract him to flank.

Liu Xiu predicted Gasol's prediction, caught the ball decisively and played singles, and did not act like the previous two low backs to be afraid of who and who. Zhan suffered a loss in weight, and Liu Xiu was still leaning back. He had no choice but to rely on his 88 kg weight to prevent Liu Xiu from turning around and going to the bottom line for an easy layup.

When the ball was thrown, Liu Xiu was pounced on, and the second-best blocker missed and was dodged by Liu Xiu's back.

With the sound of the referee's whistle, the ball fell into the frame.

If the goal is valid, a penalty will be added!

There were bursts of cursing at the scene!
Although the fans at the scene shouted Liu Xiu's nickname, they wanted to make Liu Xiu irrational. They could clearly see Liu Xiu's poor performance tonight.

When Liu Xiu went to the low position, many people felt that even though Liu Xiu was mature and talented, he was still too young to be on the stage of the playoffs.

But it's not that the top is not important anymore, people invested in it!
Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line, and the fans booed frantically, but Liu Xiu steadily made an extra free throw, 66 to 68, and the point difference narrowed to 2 points!
The opportunity came!After Liu Xiu scored 5 points in a row, his score increased to 13 points, second only to Raheem's 16 points, the second highest in the team.

When it came time for the Grizzlies to attack, Liu Xiu continued to lead the team in iron-blooded play.

Earl Watson advanced to the front court and was entangled by Liu Xiu. Isn't this rookie tired... Oh, yes, this is a rookie who can make Kobe vomit, mother Fake!
The team's offense can't be played, and the first three quarters are full of three-point opportunities. Even if the Grizzlies have a good three-pointer, they can't run now under the exhaustion of the Blazers' hand-to-hand combat.

The ball continued to come into Gasol's hands. Gasol played singles against McDyess, turned around and couldn't squeeze in, so he had to turn around and come back.
Randolph protected the defensive rebound, the Grizzlies retreated quickly, Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, and fell into a positional battle.

The Grizzlies defense is ready, and Gasol is ready for Liu Xiu to continue to drop down and he will definitely make up for it.

But Liu Xiu gave the ball to Derek Anderson and did not go to the low post. Derek Anderson used McDyess to pick and roll and then broke through. Blocking Battier, Raheem used the cover to go around the free throw line and cut in the middle, and Earl Watson moved in advance to block it.

Derrick Anderson stopped the ball, didn't shoot it, and didn't pass it to Raheem to use his height to hit Earl Watson on the outside.

Hitting the ground and passing the ball to the left baseline, Liu Xiu received the ball, jumped behind Gasol, rode on Gasol's back and smashed the ball into the basket!

Time Warner Cable sports commentator Bill Walton shouted: "Stamped! The general recognized Gasol's strength, stamped Gasol!"
