After the official timeout came back, the Trail Blazers attacked, Randolph played a low single on the right side of the three-second zone, stepped back and made a shot... The action was beautiful, but it was a pity that he didn't make it.

When the Sonics attack, Ridnour and Nick Collison pick and roll the attack, Ray Allen runs around the pile, catches the ball from the sideline, takes a step and turns around, and faces Randolph who is changing defenses and makes a three-pointer...hit !

48比52，超音速队打出一波8比2将分差追至4分！
Payton was not here for more than 7 minutes, Ray Allen scored 12 points!Liu Xiu and Lynch Hunter defended Ray Allen successively, but the effect was not good, and Ray Allen still had to wear gloves.

But Payton played the first quarter and sat down. The half-time rest is obviously not enough. Now the playing state cannot be guaranteed, and it will also affect the performance of the second half.

Consuming Payton and making Payton unable to play for most of the second quarter, this is the strategy of Supersonics coach Nate McMillan who started the first quarter and played the entire quarter. The Trail Blazers have actually discovered it in the first quarter, but It’s not that you can change anything if you discover it. The Supersonics’ trick is for the Trail Blazers to keep up. If the Trail Blazers replace Payton, Ray Allen will definitely attack in the first quarter. The Trail Blazers can’t continue to expand in the first quarter The advantage is hard to say.

Under balance, the Trail Blazers chose to play out their advantage first in the first quarter, and the advantage they got is the advantage. At that time, the Trail Blazers would also think that even if Payton was not there, Liu Xiu, Lynch Hunter, and the outlaws , Derek Anderson can limit Ray Allen?

Just hope in vain.

After the skier made a three-pointer, Lynch Hunter received the ball and glanced at the sidelines. The coach shook his head. He understood that although he was worried, he advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu received the ball, and the Sonics' defense was immediately affected. Kwame Brown came out to block Ray Allen. Without hesitation.

Nick Collison directly pressed out to block the defense, trying to block Liu Xiu on the three-point line together with Ray Allen. In the blink of an eye, Liu Xiu's Kobe-style rhythm flow breakthrough was combined with the bearded man's forward-changing breakthrough Well done, Nick Collison was tricked by a feint, quickly dialed the ball with his fingertips, pulled it horizontally, and changed direction to the left to rush inside!

Ridnor immediately let Lynch-Hunter go off the line to intercept, which was lonely. The two stepped on the free throw line at the same time. foul.

Liu Xiu rushed into the inside line, grabbed the ball and stepped up at a big step outside the arc of the reasonable collision zone.

Reggie Evans hastily retracted to the basket... He wanted to rush directly to the basket when he landed, but it was too late!
Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the basket through Reggie Evans!
The moving Reggie Evans couldn't withstand Liu Xiu's large-tonnage impact and was knocked over. The referee whistled, Reggie Evans blocked the foul, Liu Xiu's goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!

Maurice Cheeks, who was in a state of suspense for a while, immediately assumed a sitting position of a big boss, and the coach on the opposite side took aim at this scene and started to spray in situ.

Seeing this, the Trail Blazers' own assistant coaches accelerated their pace towards the technical table.

8 of 8 shots... No, Liu Xiu is already 9 of 9, which is the source of confidence that Maurice Cheeks has just stabilized!
Who doesn't have a star?

不算即将进行的加罚，刘秀9投9中、其中三分球2中2，加上2中2的罚球，半场没打完已经已经拿到22分5板6助攻1抢断！

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Trail Blazers made a rotation, replacing Lynch Hunter with Derek Anderson.

After high-fiving her teammates, Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw, 55 to 48, and the point difference returned to 7 points!
Maurice Cheeks got it right this time!If they were stopped just now, it would be a huge blow to their morale. Liu Xiu knew at a glance that the offensive score of the shot was still 2+1. , even higher than before.

In the following time, the Trail Blazers and the Sonics played back and forth.

The Sonics continued to show their powerful offensive firepower, and Ray Allen continued to attack while Payton was away.

The team offense of the Trail Blazers is inferior to that of the Sonics. The league dares to say that there are not many team offenses that are better than the Sonics, but the stars are stronger!Standing up is... Randolph!

During the official timeout, the SuperSonic team managed to stabilize the defense again, but Liu Xiu smashed them into pieces with one ball.

9 out of 9!23 points after halftime!Sonics players are afraid!No one wants to be the next Celtics.

The North Shore Garden Arena has become a place for scorers to check in this season. I am ashamed to say that I am the leading scorer for a certain team without getting a 30+ score there.

But the Supersonics really didn't expect that Liu Xiu, who had a 100% shooting rate, could not hold back and focused on sorting out the offense. Team offense...but, when he really needs to shoot, he steps up again!
At 10 minutes and 54 seconds into the second quarter, Liu Xiu caught the outlaw lunatic and cut into the pot thrown out by the ball, and made a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle on the right... If the shooting speed is a little slower, he will be rested and rotated Lewis came off the field, but Liu Xiu relied on his 'Talent: Quick Shot' to shoot fast enough. Lewis' bounce was limited, and Liu Xiu shot it!

And it's still in!
刘秀投进本场比赛第10球，10投10中，其中三分球3中3，加上3中3的罚球，无损26分！
The point difference had just been narrowed to 4 points by the Sonics, and Liu Xiu's three-pointer hit opened the point difference to 7 points again! 65 to 58 lead.

When it came time for the Sonics to attack, Ray Allen stood up, retreated in singles, and made a three-pointer behind the defense of the outlaws...Go in!
11投7中，其中三分球4中3，加上3中3的罚球，雷-阿伦单节20分了！

In the transition between offense and defense, the Sonics chose to flank Liu Xiu. The opportunity came from Derek Anderson on the flank. Unfortunately, Derek Anderson missed two points.

With 31 seconds left in the first half, Ridnour advanced to the frontcourt to press time, not wanting to leave too much time for the Trail Blazers, who theoretically will make the last attack in the first half.

But this deliberate tempo-pressing style of play destroyed the brisk offensive rhythm of the Sonics. The Trail Blazers moved forward infinitely + defended forward Ray Allen. , Iron!

Liu Xiu took it back as soon as Lewis received the ball, and it was impossible for Lewis not to shoot when it was free. Liu Xiu used Randolph to trap Reggie Evans to guard the defensive rebound and counterattack!

Liu Xiu rushed all the way, and Ray Allen chased all the way. Ray Allen's awareness of retreating and his defensive tenacity were really good. When Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt, Ray Allen was still in front of Liu Xiu. With the sacrifice, Ray Allen gambled and quickly moved laterally, and the bet was correct, and Liu Xiu was stuck in the space for a large change of direction!

Liu Xiu didn't panic, she stepped forward when blocked, squeezed into close range, jumped up and shot... Ray Allen tried his best to reach out to block the shot... just a little bit!

Liu Xiu's layup flew past Ray Allen's fingertips, hit the backboard, and bounced into the basket! 67 to 61, the Blazers led by 6 points!
The moment the ball fell into the basket, it seemed that the heart of the Sonics players could be heard cracking.

With 3 seconds left in the first half, Ray Allen didn't give up. He wanted to throw another one. He quickly picked up the ball and sent it to the second teammate Ridnour who came back from chasing. Sometimes it's good to give up. Ray - Allen was too anxious to serve this time.

Liu Xiu hadn't turned back after scoring the goal. Seeing Ray Allen serve, Liu Xiu immediately pressed up on Ridnour...he really took the ball down!
Ridnor short-circuited just now, and after realizing it, he quickly grabbed the ball. The ball was snatched by Liu Xiu, and Ridnor reached out to grab it... "beep"... the referee blew his whistle!

The Sonics fouled 4 times in this quarter, and Liu Xiu just grabbed the ball, theoretically speaking, he couldn't make a shot.

But Ridnor made another mistake!
At the same time, there was a long whistle at the end of the game. The Sonics coach shouted from the sidelines that it was timed out and the foul was invalid.

The referees also gathered around the technical stage to watch the replay, but the replay was obvious. When Ridnor grabbed Liu Xiu's arm, there was 0.5 seconds left in the time!
The referee confirmed that the foul call was effective, and Liu Xiu got two additional penalties!

Seeing Liu Xiu walk to the free throw line, the hearts of the Supersonic players were not cracked, they were all broken!

Liu Xiu made two free throws, the score was 69-61, and the Trail Blazers led by 8 points.

The Supersonics had just received the ball, turned around and hadn't thrown it yet, when the long whistle sounded again!
