Healing Basketball

Chapter 468. 468. Warden VS Miller
Tianzun is obviously better than Dale Davis and Jermaine O'Neal at critical moments. From this perspective, Crohill is also a more suitable key player than the current pair of twin towers, but 6 minutes behind With 14 points, putting the expectation of winning on a veteran who is about to turn 40, Carlisle is completely following his heart, and this wave of rotation is also following his heart.

Follow your own heart, this may sound vulgar and rustic, but you must not lack this on the road to pursue your dreams!

And dreams are indispensable.

After a fierce 17-7, the Pacers chased the score to 87-91 and stopped the Trail Blazers!

The Pacers played really hard this time. The Trail Blazers worked hard for three and a half quarters, but the Pacers rushed away in a few minutes!

The Trail Blazers scored, in fact, not much different from the first half of the quarter, the normal scoring performance after suppressing the rhythm.

But Reggie Miller who played at this time was too fierce!
It's not that the Trail Blazers have never encountered such fierce opponents. Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Nowitzki, Terry, Pierce, Ray Allen... have the ability to play Reggie Miller's performance just now There are a lot of people, but which one of them is not a first-line star in his prime?
Reggie Miller, a veteran who will turn 40 years old, burst out with such energy, and the Trail Blazers were beaten badly.

Reggie Miller made people feel the meaning of that sentence-old soldiers don't die, they just wither!

The huge pressure made the Blazers players as opponents almost out of breath.

Reversal or being reversed, everyone has seen and experienced it. Right now, this is the situation of being reversed!
However, the huge pressure did not cause a substantial blow to the morale and confidence of the Trail Blazers players... The warden's eyes widened, and his face was full of excitement!The tremendous pressure was no match for the appeal of the warden's joy that seemed to be overflowing!

The warden enjoyed the state of the game and successfully infected his teammates!

Of course Liu Xiu also has pressure. As a team leader, his pressure is no less than that of his teammates.

but!

Such Reggie Miller is the ace killer he wants to fight!
After entering the NBA, Liu Xiu had a 'regret list', a list that unfortunately failed to match him in his peak period.

Reggie Miller is definitely at the top of the list.

This is not a superstar in the traditional sense. The number of times he has entered the All-Star team is only one hand. The best team is only three times and three teams.

Not pleasing, not very popular, not many fans.

Jermaine O'Neal, who has been called a softie, has won more trophies and fans than Reggie Miller.

However, ten years later, not many people may mention the name of Jermaine O'Neal again, but basketball fans will definitely not forget Reggie Miller!

Time is cruel. Reggie Miller will retire after this season. This is already a fact. Such a game will not have an impact on Reggie Miller's career. retired.

But for Liu Xiu, this is the first and possibly the only chance to compete with Reggie Miller, who seems to be dreaming of returning to the top!
...

Maurice Cheeks thought it was time for him to show his charisma as a leader. As a result, he contributed a wave of healing value to the warden...

Forget it, the leader is like this, and as the coach, he also saves a lot of saliva.

Don't worry about motivation, don't worry about the ability to withstand pressure, then it's time to test the resilience of the coaching staff.

The Trail Blazers replaced Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

The Pacers did not make any substitutions. In the last minute or so, Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Dale Davis, and Jermaine O'Neal continued to play!

Carlisle looked at players who should have been on the field at critical moments, such as Crosher, Tianzun, and James Jones, cheering for his teammates. He felt that this "follow the heart" rotation adjustment, no matter what the result was, it was worth it !The moment when the soul of the group is ignited!At the end of his career, Reggie Miller once again gave the team an assist, igniting the flame of a new team spirit.

Of course, it would be even better to win. With a big reversal of 14 points in half a quarter, winning such a victory will definitely burn the team spirit even more vigorously!

However, Carlisle looked at the fighting spirit on the other side, especially the warden on the other side, and he knew at a glance that this guy ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates.

Carlisle really wanted to knock open Liu Xiu's brain to see what was inside.

Anyway, panic and mess up!You are about to be reversed, you have been beaten 17 to 7!

But as soon as he thought of it, he crushed it by himself.

He felt that his head should not be as hard as Artest's, and could not withstand that arm...

Back from the timeout, the Blazers attack.

Payton chose to serve from the backcourt, and the warden took up the pressure, and the control thinking of the glove was also running more smoothly. No matter what the game situation was, they were still ahead, and now it was time to calmly press the speed, and he slowly advanced After halftime, he slowly came to the three-point line, back and forth, 12 seconds passed, and half of the offensive round was gone!
Those who don't know think they are watching the Pistons game. Payton's bald and shiny brain is a bit like Billups.

After being scored 4 points by the Pacers in the first 17 minutes, he was really anxious after being beaten by the Pacers' crazy counterattack. Now that he calmed down, Payton found that, sure enough, the opponent was indeed more anxious than them.

Tinsley pressed up to defend!
Payton turned around and pouted his butt, as if he was going to play for 24 seconds, which made Tinsley's rush and pressure defense more anxious. Payton turned around suddenly and accelerated the breakthrough!
Dale Davis' mid-range defense was timely and in place, but at the same time, Liu Xiu, who was wandering on the left side of the three-second zone, moved across the three-second zone to the right side of the three-second zone. When Smith defended Payton, he helped Liu Xiu block Artest. Randolph pressed inside to contain Jermaine O'Neal. Payton formed a pincer between Dell Davis and Tinsley. In the middle distance on the right side of the first point, Liu Xiu received the ball!
Almost perfect on-the-spot coordination!There is a perfect understanding!

Reggie Miller made up from the bottom line on the right at the first time, but Liu Xiu faced Reggie Miller's supplementary defense, and his jumping and shooting movements did not waver at all, and he shot the ball in one go...

He clearly judged that Reggie Miller must not be able to block him, and the fact is also the same. The highest point Reggie Miller reached out and touched was still a long way from the line where the ball flew out.

The ball was flying and spinning in the air, and its final destination——in the basket!
Accompanied by the turbulent net flowers, the referee went to the technical table to confirm that the goal was valid, and it was a two-pointer.

93 to 87, under tremendous pressure, Liu Xiu finally helped the team widen the two-point gap again!His personal score has reached 39 points!
After the offensive and defensive transition, Tinsley advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Artest.

In the end, the game finally returned to the duel of the star players.

The extrajudicial lunatic went to cover Reggie Miller. He concentrated his output in just over 4 minutes. Although Reggie Miller is a big threat now, he can no longer run. Of course, his presence is still very important , Standing there, he can form a 4 on 4, plus the flank off the ball after the offense is launched, it is not a problem to form a 3 on 3 situation, it just depends.

Artest is not cowardly at critical moments, let him team up with Big Bird, God, Snake, and Big Mouth, and he dares to compete for key shots.

But facing Liu Xiu's defense, Artest felt like he was being targeted by a wild beast.

He had felt this feeling the last time they played against each other, and he continued to feel that pressure tonight.

But he still didn't hesitate. Facing Liu Xiu's defense, he chose to jump inside and get closer to the basket to create a chance to score the ball!
This time Liu Xiu defended very well, and his teammates also trusted Liu Xiu very much. Artest failed to create a chance to score the ball, so he had to make a strong shot... and missed!
but!Dale Davis grabs the offensive rebound!

Without thinking, Dale Davis instinctively passed the ball to the left at a 45-degree angle. This passing direction is neither the running direction of the opponent's counterattack nor the common direction of the opponent's flank defense. He passed the ball successfully. Get out, that man, there it is—Reggie Miller!

Reggie Miller catches a [-]-pointer...hit!
Reggie Miller spread his hands blankly and looked at Liu Xiu's wide-eyed eyes, then turned and retreated.

The fans at the scene continued to boil!

It's been a long time since I saw Reggie Miller like this, and many old fans were moved to tears.

连砍11分！带队打出了20比9的反扑，90比93，分差缩小到了3分！
For another opponent, encountering an explosion like Reggie Miller is tantamount to encountering continuous explosive hammers.

But the Trail Blazers didn't!

Listening to the warden's "GOGOGO" shout, the teammates had no time to feel negative emotions and were pushed forward to settle down.

Payton is still calmly pressing the time, whether he has 6 points or 3 points, the lead is the lead.

Now Payton is still so calm... Yes, he is envious, envious of players like Reggie Miller. At this age, as long as the touch comes, he can still shine like a superstar.

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to win tonight's game, and he didn't want to see Reggie Miller's annoying face to have the last laugh, so he handled the ball more calmly at this time.

Payton advanced to the frontcourt, Tinsley's defense was still impatient, and Payton got another chance to break through.

But after Payton broke into the inside, the Pacers' defensive cooperation became better. After Payton was blocked by Dale Davis, there was no good chance to score the ball. He did not choose to continue to go deep into the basket, but It was Liu Xiu who protected the ball and withdrew, and passed the ball to the top arc to respond.

Artest did not lose his position this time and followed very closely.

Due to time pressure, the Trail Blazers had only 7 seconds left in this attack. Liu Xiu ran to the top arc and received the ball without stopping, and launched an attack directly!
