Chapter 443 443. Warden VS Demon Sword (4000 words yesterday's second update)
Just now, when Morris Cheeks read out the list of players who played in the last 34 seconds, Liu Xiu received a system prompt!
"There are only 34 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers team where the host belongs is 5 points behind the Spurs, the host gets the chance to play at the last moment, talent: Maimang triggers.

Bonus effect: During the remaining game time, the host will enter a hot state, and the hot state will be further improved every time a ball is hit, until the shot is missed or the game is over. "

Because there is no 'Wheat Mang' in the 'Buff' section, and there is only 'Great Magician' in the talent section, the talent tendency card 'Wheat Mang' is placed in the warehouse with a bunch of food. It's been ten games, and before it's activated as a talent, it can only be triggered when playing against the Spurs, and the triggering conditions are quite harsh... Liu Xiu didn't regard this as part of his regular strength at all.

Normal people's game thinking is to play the advantage to win the game, who would point to this?

But now it is triggered, at this moment, this talent is a god-level talent that is not inferior to any talent!

Morris Cheeks watched Liu Xiu rekindle his fighting spirit and radiate fiery confidence, and he also ignited.

After a moment of thought, Maurice Cheeks let go of the tactical board.

He really has nothing good to do. He can arrange a regular three-point tactic. There are as many tactics as possible for key shots, but having a tactic and being able to hit a good shot are two different things.

Facing the Spurs, key ball tactics are really not as important as personal ability.

Liu Xiu didn't expect the coach to give him the tactical board directly, but he didn't hesitate, took the tactical board and adjusted the lineup and tactics.

The onlookers coach and assistant coaches looked at Liu Xiu's arrangement... Good guy!

The warden's arrangement, should it be said that he is arranging tactics?Or take the blame for the loss on yourself at the last moment?
...

Players from both teams returned to the field.

Duncan played with Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, and Muhammad. The Spurs' best defensive and most comprehensive lineup is their starting lineup.

Finally about to win, Duncan looked at the warden walking onto the field. He had already started to think about which motorcycle he would ride to invite the warden to have breakfast tomorrow morning.

The four teammates that Liu Xiu chose to play with him were Flying Squirrel, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess.

At the end of the timeout, the Trail Blazers chose to serve in the frontcourt. The referee blew the whistle to continue the game and sent the ball to Raheem who was out of bounds.

The little flying mouse immediately started running.

Muhammad interferes with Rahim's serve.

Duncan guards the position of the free throw line, can retract the basket at any time and expand to the top arc area to prevent shots, and the flank defense is also within his defensive coverage.

Parker followed the flying mouse closely, Ginobili went around the front defense McDyess to catch the ball, ready to switch to the screen target of the pick-and-roll master, and Bowen stuck close to Liu Xiu.

The Spurs' defense, mainly defending the three-pointers of Xiao Feishu and Liu Xiu, and the defense of mid-range and basket, but the Spurs do not think that the Trail Blazers will choose mid-range and short-range shots.

Neither Liu Xiu nor Flying Squirrel got the chance to catch the ball immediately, and Rahim sent the ball to Randolph, who was one step outside the free throw line.

At the same time that Randolph received the ball, the little flying mouse covered by McDyess in the left three-point line area attracted the Spurs' defensive attention.

At this time, the Spurs' defensive attention to Liu Xiu, who was still in the three-second zone and followed by Bowen, was greatly reduced.

For the three-pointers of Fongshu and Liu Xiu, the Spurs mainly defended Fongshu.

刘秀是拿到了25分8板7助攻没错，但投篮情况……23投仅8中，其中三分球只有9中2，外加9中7的罚球。

Little Flying Squirrel didn't shoot 6-pointers well tonight, he made 2 of [-] shots, but on the basis of always hitting the iron, Little Flying Squirrel had a higher probability of breaking out than Liu Xiu.

Orderly primary and secondary, clear pertinence, and firm execution tactics... This is the key to the stable defense of the Spurs for many years.

When Randolph received the ball, Liu Xiu immediately rushed towards the top arc. Randolph's body was facing the left sideline, but his eyes were aimed at Liu Xiu. At the right time, he threw the ball behind his head and took advantage of the opportunity Turn around and use your generous body to block the chasing Bowen!
Liu Xiu caught the ball and ran out of the three-point line with a screen!
Duncan is Duncan. When he saw Liu Xiu rushing from the three-second zone to the top arc, he realized the true purpose of the Trail Blazers' attack, and immediately followed Liu Xiu's footsteps and rushed out.

But there is always a gap between the speed of the center and the point guard. Duncan is no longer the super-physical man who burst into short-distance acceleration comparable to a guard last year. The timing of the prediction is also a bit late. Duncan bypassed Randolph and Bowen to chase the three-pointer One step inside the line, before Liu Xiu had time to reach out, Liu Xiu had already turned around and shot!

The smooth take-off and stretched shooting movements after turning around... As one of the strongest defenders in the league, Duncan judged Liu Xiu's shooting feeling very good at a glance!
As Duncan expected, the boos of the fans stopped suddenly.

At 11 minutes and 30 seconds, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 90 to 92, and the point difference was reduced to two points!

in?Just go in like that?
Not to mention the bewilderment of the fans, the players on the court were just as bewildered. The Trail Blazers players looked at the warden who pulled his knee pads on the way back to the backcourt, but didn't react immediately.

Just now they were desperate for 30 points behind the Spurs in more than 5 seconds, and in an instant the difference was only two points!
Popovich stayed for two seconds and called a timeout!

The Trail Blazers players were convinced at this moment that the warden's three-pointer scored!The point difference is only two points left!
Leaving aside the reactions of the rest of the Spurs team, Duncan, who was still thinking about what motorcycle to ride for breakfast tomorrow, had a premonition that he was going to make headlines again at this moment...

...

When Liu Xiu straightened up and his eyes sparkled again, Maurice Cheeks regained hope.

But no matter what he didn't expect Liu Xiu to go up and throw the ball directly, and score as soon as he threw it!
It seems that Liu Xiu's shooting opportunity is very good this time, and he has a completed shooting opportunity.

But having a shot opportunity and being able to make a shot are two different things. It is said to be a complete shot, but in fact Liu Xiu turned around and shot the ball as fast as he could maintain stability, without any chance to adjust.

There were several such opportunities before, but a total of 9 of 2 three-pointers were made.

Encountering high-intensity defense and at the same time conducting high-intensity defense against opponents, the hand feels cold.

If there's an open shot that lasts more than a second or two, that's still possible, so Maurice Cheeks initially planned to let Fred Jones or Derek Anderson take the key shot, and then It doesn't matter whether it's an outlaw fanatic or Raheem. Fongshu and Liu Xiu, who averaged 2+ three-pointers per game, can't have such sufficient shooting opportunities at this time.

At this time, Liu Xiu wanted to come by himself, and Maurice Cheeks was just looking forward to it. He really didn't know how Liu Xiu would fight.

I didn't even expect Liu Xiu to be so direct and enter so simply!
After Morris Cheeks was shocked, he naturally entered a state of ecstasy.

That's right, he entered the timeout, surrounded by the team members, looking at the tactical board in the hands of the warden who was surrounded by him...why did he have an inexplicable sense of crisis?
After the timeout, the Spurs did not make any substitutions, and they were still their starting combination.

Regardless of offense or defense, this lineup is their strongest lineup.

At the critical moment, Popovich is still very stable...

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu arranged for Payton, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess to play with him this time.

This substitution surprised Maurice Cheeks, who was expecting Liu Xiu to come up with some wonderful tricks.

This warden is too steady!
Even Popovich, who was heartbroken, didn't react when he looked at the opposite lineup.

He is very worried about the opponent's unexpected defense, unexpected things, and he doesn't know how to deal with them.

But the opponent is so stable, they sent out the best defensive lineup in theory... It was even more beyond his expectations...

The Spurs' frontcourt serve and backcourt serve seem to consume more time, but the backcourt serve is very likely to be pressed by the audience, and once they make a mistake, they may lose points immediately.

The Spurs are equally stable!

The referee blew the whistle to continue the game, and sent the ball to Ginobili who was out of bounds... The demon knife was unsheathed!

The first time he caught the ball, Ginobili lobbed it directly!
The position where the ball fell was on the left side of the basket, and Muhammad made an empty catch and made a layup!
It was another goal that caught people off guard, so fast that the fans at the scene didn't even realize that the goal was scored and they had to cheer.

Others on the field didn't realize that the Spurs' offense was over the moment the goal was scored, including the other four Spurs players... yes, including Muhammad himself who scored the goal.

If Muhammad hadn't looked up at that glance, Ginobili would have hit the backboard with the ball.

The whole process of Muhammad taking off and lobbing was hasty and hasty, and how flustered and flustered it was.

Others on the field didn't even realize that there was such a chance. Ginobili found out and passed it on!

Shocking things like this, the demon sword will not let the warden be alone!

It took a second after Muhammad scored in the air before the fans reacted and cheered.

But the cheers immediately turned into exclamations. Liu Xiu, who was the first to react, rushed towards the front court while shouting 'Pasmi'!
The old Jianghu Payton reacted first, and he immediately picked up the ball on the right side of the three-second zone and made a long pass to serve.

Payton's basic skills in passing the ball are very good. Liu Xiu rushed across the center line and just received a pass from Payton.

Liu Xiu's counterattack caught the Spurs' frontcourt players by surprise. Bowen reacted quickly. When Liu Xiu called 'Pasmi', Bowen was the first to catch up. However, Bowen was useless when he moved for a long distance. up.

However, Ginobili, who was in the center line, stepped back!Parker also chased after Liu Xiu, and quickly shortened the distance with Liu Xiu!
Parker and Ginobili's defensive chemistry was very good. Ginobili retreated to the middle distance, and Parker followed Liu Xiu closely, trying to block Liu Xiu at the free throw line and carry out a pincer attack...but Liu Xiu didn't run to the middle. He ran to the right sideline!

Ginobili hurriedly moved from the middle, but when he was close to the right sideline, he was blocked by his teammate Parker who was also unexpectedly and struggling to defend!

Liu Xiu stopped and turned around outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right, facing Parker's defense, and shot a three-pointer...

This feeling came again!
The last time he took a shot, he didn't feel it deeply. This time, Liu Xiu felt that when he shot, the ball seemed to be a part of his body.

The silky feeling of throwing the ball...the image of the ball falling into the hoop...

At this moment, Liu Xiu became obsessed with the three-pointer.

This feeling is really no worse than the feeling of dunking through Duncan!

A three-pointer hit in the air!
Liu Xiu's personal score increased to 31 points!At the same time, it helped the team chase the score to 93 to 94, with 24 seconds left!
Popovich tried to call a timeout again, but his assistant coach Budenholzer stopped him in time, and they had run out of timeouts!If the call is really suspended, it will be a technical offender.

On the court, Ginobili and Parker looked like they had eaten something dirty. Under the urging of the referee, the two went to serve, and Liu Xiu pressed hard to defend Parker to receive the serve!

Ginobili passed the ball well, Parker was fast and successfully completed the serve.

Liu Xiu presses and robs Parker. Although Parker's mentality is blown now, he still protects the ball very well. Liu Xiu fails to grab the ball. The referee whistles. After Liu Xiu fails to steal, he slaps Parker's right forearm heavily.

The number of fouls for the Trail Blazers has arrived, and Parker gets two free throws!
...

The TV commentators were amazed at Liu Xiu's reaction speed.

Clearly, the Blazers' goal when they came back from the timeout was to play it safe, try to defend the Spurs, and then play the final play.

This is a very calm and correct choice. The Spurs' key ball ability is really not good. Even Ginobili is not a steady key ball player. Expect him to give you an iron crit when he scores a goal.

I didn't expect Ginobili to make such a pass!
But Liu Xiu immediately made adjustments, took the opportunity to switch offense and defense, and chased the point difference to 1 point!
Moreover, after narrowing the point difference to 1 point, the mind was very clear that there were only 24 seconds left in the attack time, and the Spurs had a chance to run out of time without a timeout. When sent to the free throw line, he is also ruthless when he fouls.

When Parker received Liu Xiu's slap on his forearm, his face twitched in pain.

Parker walked to the free throw line under the urging of the referee. At this time, Liu Xiu came to the sidelines to discuss with the coach.

The sound of cheering on the scene turned into cheers, Liu Xiu turned to look at the technical stage, and Parker made the first free throw.

Focusing on Parker, who took a deep breath and flexed his wrist, Liu Xiu reckoned that the opponent would make two free throws. It was a pity that Parker was always good at key free throws.

But you still have to be prepared, what if?
When Parker was about to take the second free throw, the sound of a substitution sounded from the technical table.

The Trail Blazers replaced Little Flying Squirrel, Raheem, and Randolph, and the outlaws and Liu Xiu continued to play.

Liu Xiu came to the sideline of the three-second zone near the free throw line, clamped Duncan together with Randolph, and on the other side were Raheem and Muhammad.

The referee gave the ball to Parker again, and Liu Xiu suddenly shouted at Parker: "Has the gas price increased tonight? Why don't you step on the accelerator when you drive a sports car?"
