Healing Basketball

Chapter 592. Chapter 592. The end of the early season
Liu Xiu is not very familiar with the high post-up routine, but facing the 76ers' relatively weak defensive inside group, he turned around with pick-and-roll + high post-up to play!
Taking advantage of the deterrent power of turning back and breaking through, he made a high-position shot that was almost open at the critical moment.

At the critical moment, whether to give the ball to McDyess or to find a way to shoot, Liu Xiu chose the latter and chose to believe in herself.

Liu Xiuhua hit a jumper with a high post, turned around and stepped back, detonating the cheers of the fans.

19投11中，其中三分球5中3，外加5中5的罚球，刘秀数据提高到了30分11板12助攻！

The highest scorer is Iverson, who made 25 of 11 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 11 of 9 free throws. He has 33 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Iverson received the serve and advanced.

The fans at the scene applauded this opponent, looking forward to the key ball matchup in the last tens of seconds.

Liu Xiu defended cautiously. For the epic scorer in front of him, the first choice at critical moments must be to shoot by himself. This is an absolute exception among breakthrough players who concentrate on the ball.

When Iverson came outside the three-point line, Liu Xiu immediately posted it.

TV commentators were chanting "this is a smart defensive choice."

The point difference is 3 points, and in the last few tens of seconds, the key point of defense is to defend against three points.

Iverson took a step back and began to dribble the ball with a wide swing of his arms.

Liu Xiuqiang resisted the urge to reach out, he knew that as long as he made extra movements, he would be thrown away by the opponent immediately.

However, even if he held back and was not fooled, he moved his feet immediately when Iverson moved laterally, and Iverson still got the chance!

Iverson started like lightning, took a big step forward to the right, stopped and jumped outside the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer...

Liu Xiu was in place, but Iverson seized the momentary gap and successfully threw the ball.

The ball draws a beautiful arc in the air, right in the frame!
艾弗森得分提升到36分，超过了他赛季平均得分2分，帮助76人队以102比102追平比分！

The TV commentators are saying that Liu Xiu did nothing wrong with this ball, and there is no problem in defending against Iverson's change of direction and breakthrough, because Iverson's style of play is simply undefendable!

Restricted by his height, Iverson has been in a situation of 'difficult to get a good shot' since he was a child. Seizing the momentary opportunity to throw the ball and make it is just an ordinary offense for him. .

With 18 seconds left, Maurice Cheeks did not call a timeout!Liu Xiu, as the captain, did not take the initiative to call a timeout, and directly hit the key ball after receiving the serve!

The current lineup of the Trail Blazers is Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Stevenson, Randolph, McDyess, which is already a very good offensive lineup; the opposite 76ers are the starting lineup, Maurice Cheek Si and Liu Xiu have a tacit understanding not to call a timeout, because they don't want the opponent to replace Steven Hunter with Dalembert's defensive twin towers, which will make the offense more difficult.

Iguodala is guarding the top arc and watching Liu Xiu who is pushing forward. This season, his defensive progress has received good evaluations, but whenever he meets those top outsiders, he really feels that those praises are not necessary for him.

Every top perimeter player is 120% focused when they meet him, just to blow him up for fun, who can bear it?

If there is any advantage, he has a pretty good relationship with those two in Salt Lake City and Orlando...

At the critical moment, Iguodala used cranky thoughts to suppress his inner anxiety and fear.

"Prison for a long time" has become more and more famous. Defending the warden at critical moments is a joy for Iguodala and represents the team's trust in him.

But more than that I'm afraid...

After Liu Xiu reached the top arc, Iguodala was ready to defend the pick-and-roll... not good!
Iguodala glanced back subconsciously, looking at the positions of McDyess and Dalembert, who was defending the pick-and-roll on the opposite side, but just turned his head and saw Liu Xiu pressing towards him!
Iguodala turned back quickly, but it was too late, and the opposite side really accelerated to the right to break through!
Iguodala quickly moved laterally to the left, but Liu Xiu accelerated suddenly and got stuck in the first step. When the two confronted each other, Iguodala was knocked back a step, and Liu Xiu advanced in an arc!

The center was directly pierced, and the 76ers shrank in a panic, but it was too late. Liu Xiu suddenly stopped at the free throw line, took off, and made a mid-range shot!

104 to 102, the Trail Blazers regained a two-point lead, with 6 seconds left, the 76ers called a timeout!
...

Liu Xiu and his teammates clapped and hugged in celebration, very excited.

Besides being excited about taking a two-point lead, there was another thing.

Just now, when Iguodala glanced back, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to break through. He just wanted to hit the opponent by surprise and give it a try. Time to play overtime is also possible.

Unexpectedly, this operation actually met the condition of 'changing direction to obtain a breakthrough space', triggering the 'butterfly step', and when competing for the breakthrough space, it exploded and accelerated, completing this breakthrough.

When playing against Iverson next time, there will be another way to use the 'butterfly step'.

After letting the players celebrate briefly, Maurice Cheeks called the players together, and the coach began to arrange key ball defense.

Pause back.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Stevenson, outlaws, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

The 76ers sent a combination of Iverson, Willie Green, Korver, Webber, and Steven Hunter.

The game continued, and the 76 team served from the center line.

Iverson ran quickly to receive the ball, and the final 6-second countdown began.

In this defense, the teammates handed over the burden to the outlaw lunatic. The outlaw lunatic who came back from a few minutes of rest defended very hard and did not disappoint his teammates!
Iverson's crucial retreat was two points long, and the extrajudicial fanatics followed closely. Iverson was forced to increase his back. The ball missed the basket, passed the net, and flew out of the baseline!
The Trail Blazers players did not celebrate in a hurry. With 1.2 seconds left, taking advantage of the out-of-bounds dead ball, Maurice Cheeks replaced Raheem and Ray Allen with serve.

Maurice Cheeks' last operation was so stable that the commentators of the major TV stations were crazily complaining.

But stability is definitely good.

Raheem sent the ball steadily to the running Ray Allen without any mistakes. It took the last 1.2 seconds, the final sounded, 104 to 102, the Trail Blazers defeated the 76ers and raised their record to 22. 5 wins!
刘秀20投12中，其中三分球5中3，外加5中5的罚球，豪取32分11板12助攻3抢断的三双数据，力压拿到36分10助攻的艾弗森，赢得比赛胜利！
...

After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu and the family members who entered the stadium clapped or hugged, and then took a group photo to enjoy the joy of victory together...During this period, Liu Xiu checked the system prompts.

Triple-double, key ball hits, wins, high shooting percentage, got an S-score, no higher, he guessed it was related to the overall strength of the opponent.

The situation of Iverson's teammates this year is comparable to that of Kobe, the 96th class.

"Dancing With Legends:

The host has led his team to defeat the 76ers, won the Christmas game, and avenged the loss of the last match.

Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: talent fragment*1.

Statistics for this game:

宿主：32分11板12助攻3抢断；阿伦-艾弗森：36分2板10助攻5抢断。

The total score + assists of the host is 44, which is lower than that of Allen Iverson; the number of steals of the host is lower than that of Allen Iverson, and the additional target fails, and the host does not receive additional rewards. "

Not bad, already very good, almost overturned by Iverson, but fortunately, he scored 4 points at the last moment, and withstood the counterattack of Iverson who scored 5 points in a row.

In these two goals, Liu Xiu himself can feel his progress in the use of talents and buffs, and his deterrent power at critical moments has become bigger and bigger!
The last defense of the outlaws is also very important.

After taking pictures, the family members left first.

At the last moment of the game, Iverson looked as if he owed him [-] million, but after the game, he took the initiative to find Liu Xiu after losing the game. After Liu Xiu and his family took pictures, he gave Liu Xiu gave a hug.

Iverson was not polite: "Warden, what a pity, I still wanted to sweep you to enjoy myself, but it was a little bit worse... You won't be so lucky next time."

Liu Xiu was even less polite: "It's hard, you're getting old, and your teammates are so weak."

Iverson did not refute: "You are right, in the future..."

Liu Xiu hurriedly said, "The future has nothing to do with me."

Iverson laughed a few times and said, "Yes, that's right, now is your time."

Iguodala next to him has a black line.

The warden said he was weak in front of him, but the boss still didn't refute, Sang Xin!
Later, Liu Xiu, who won the triple-double, accepted the post-match interviews of Chaoting TV and Time Warner Cable Sports. The questions were similar, and they were all related to the topic of winning streak.

After the Trail Blazers defeated the 76ers, they won 6 consecutive victories. Three hours ago, the Pistons won 13 consecutive victories.

In fact, Chaotingtai was not asking questions, but asked Liu Xiu to comment on the Pistons' 13-game winning streak.

Liu Xiu started the bragging group mode: "The Pistons have the best center in the world, which is their unparalleled advantage.

The other of their twin towers, the best defensive player in the world, Big Ben's defense may be one of the best in the entire NBA history, the greatest active defensive player.

Their small forward Little Prince, every time I watch the Pistons play, he reminds me of outlaws. I am curious which of them is better.

They also have a great flying man, the best shooting guard in the world, Vince Carter.

Their point guard is seriously underrated, and I think Billups is the best point guard in the hidden East.

Why am I the best point guard in the East, you ask?Guess what position I played? "

The questions and answers of ESPN and Liu Xiu were much more concise.

ESPN asked: "Do you think the Pistons can continue their winning streak?"

Liu Xiu replied: "Of course, I hope they don't lose before they fight me."

ESPN asked: "And you ended their winning streak yourself?"

Liu Xiu replied: "Yes."

ESPN: "Thanks to the Warden for the interview..."

...

After the game tonight, Liu Xiu was not busy for too long. In fact, there may have been some interviews, but he asked the boss who was walking around in the arena after the game, would it be bad for him to run away? The boss said no, so he ran away.

I got home at 11 o'clock, just in time for the fourth quarter of the Christmas game between the Lakers and the Heat.

After the first three quarters, the Heat led the Lakers by 70 points 58-12.

第四节湖人队反扑凶猛，科比9投5中，其中三分球2中2，加上4中4的罚球拿到16分，带队单节狂飙34分。

The Heat only scored 27 points in the final quarter and lost 7 points in a single quarter, but their 12-point lead before the start of the final quarter gave them the last laugh.

尽管科比拿到45分7板7助攻，拿下本赛季第13次单场40+，但湖人队依旧92比97不敌热火队。

Wade was miserable tonight, he was shot 29 of 16 by Kobe, and he was only 15 of 5 by Kobe and Deron.

The matchup between Deron and Wade was a hot topic before the Christmas game. After the matchup, Deron's defense was really good, and his body was bumpy.

不过德隆被韦德防得更惨，打了27分钟6投1中，只拿到2分2板4助攻。

The Heat won the game thanks to O'Neal's invincible dominance. He made 18 of 10 shots and made 12 of 8 free throws. O'Neal scored 28 points and 17 rebounds. Wang Zhizhi, Lamar Odom, and Mihm wanted to escape... ...and can't escape.

With the Lakers losing at home, another year's Christmas game came to an end.

After the live broadcasts of the major TV stations ended, they all announced the same thing. Tomorrow, December 12th at 26:12 noon, the voting for the All-Star Weekend will begin!
This also declares that the NBA2005-2006 season has entered the middle stage!
