Healing Basketball

Chapter 729
The World Cup is still the most popular event in the Chinese sports market at the moment, but this time, with the help of Liu Xiu and Yao Ming, the basketball industry has taken a big piece of cake... The happiest person about this is David Stern, continue to increase Intensive publicity.

No. [-] point guard!No. [-] center forward!

This gimmick was announced by the NBA officials in the Chinese market, and it soon spread to the American market.

Stern doesn't care about how Liu Xiu and Yao Ming will be chased and intercepted by their opponents next season. Anyway, he added another fire to the hot finals.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, the second game of the Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Pistons began.

Liu Xiu, like before, issued an order from the beginning to activate the power of the west coast.

But this time the start was bang bang and two irons, and it was not until the third ball that he hit.

The Pistons slammed the defense at the start!

Billups stuck close to Liu Xiu, defended against shots, and let Liu Xiu break through. This defensive strategy is completely different from that of the Spurs.

The Spurs Duncan made up for the mid-range, and the defense at the basket was miserable. Muhammad was good at protecting the frame, and Nesterovic... In the finals, this center with an annual salary of nearly tens of millions of dollars was only as tall as he was. Can carry the weight.

As for the Pistons, Big Ben can expand without any worries.

But even if Liu Xiu only made 3 of 1 shots from the West Coast in the start, the Pistons have always guarded him strictly and dared not give him a chance to shoot.

Liu Xiu made good use of this point. He didn't like continuous singles breakthroughs with physical strength. If he needed to slow down, he would let Ray Allen or Payton who came off the bench make do.

This forced Ben Wallace's help defense range to concentrate on the free throw line area, and Yao Ming's frame protection increased pressure!
The high-intensity defense has also affected the shooting touch of the Pistons. Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and the outside defense of the outsiders are not vegetarians.

The two teams played back and forth in the opening stage, but when Yao Ming was replaced halfway through the first quarter and had a 4-minute break, the Trail Blazers opened the gap to 5 points in one fell swoop, leading the Pistons 10-15!
Although Yao Ming scored two goals in a row after returning to the field in the last minute or so, and one of them was a 2+1 with a turn and hook, Liu Xiu also took advantage of Ben Wallace's replacement to rest and hit close range consecutively. European step layup.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Pistons by 24 points 20 to 4!
In the second quarter, Liu Xiu scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to score 20 points in a single quarter. At the same time, the Trail Blazers followed the rhythm of the first quarter and played defense with the Pistons.

As long as the iron-blooded battle starts, unless both sides stop at the same time, it will be difficult to stop. Of course, if one side can play an offense that defeats the opponent's defense, but the Pistons did not in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, Carter scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, which was a good performance, but all 4 rebounds were defensive rebounds, which did not really help the offense much!The Pistons only scored 17 points in a single quarter!
半场打完，刘秀12投5中，其中三分球3中1，加上3中3的罚球，半场拿到14分4板5助攻，帮助开拓者队以44比37领先活塞队7分！
...

Entering the intermission, Philip Sanders began to make drastic adjustments.

He said to the team members: "Our contingency was all predicted by them. If we are behind, we can only continue the contingency we are used to before, and the only way to lose is not to worry about failure. Go all out!"

Encouraged by him, in the third quarter, Yao Ming, Carter, and Billups started the bombardment mode!

They also felt that no matter what they did in the first half, they were restrained everywhere. The opponent's iron-blooded defense was happy, and they felt stuck between their teeth when they drank water.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons caught the Trail Blazers by surprise. They relied on Yao Ming to score 3 goals in a row, and Billups and Carter scored two points each. 10 lead the Trail Blazers by 2 point!
The Trail Blazers called a timeout as appropriate, but failed to regain the advantage.

By the end of the third quarter, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the score was 72 to 73, and the Trail Blazers were still 1 point behind the Pistons!
姚明单节9投6中，因为上半场的肉搏战，裁判放松了吹罚尺度，但他愣是靠着低位强攻和精准的中近距离投篮单节拿到12分，加上卡特的9分、比卢普斯的4分4助攻、以及其他人吃饼或接球投篮得分……活塞队在第三节打了开拓者队一个36比28！

Throughout the third quarter, the Pistons made 25 of 13 shots, grabbed 6 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, and added 4 shots.

However, at the end of the quarter, the Pistons withered... They shot 25 times in the third quarter with a shooting percentage of over 50%. By the end of the quarter, they only made 22 of 8 shots. Free throws and only scored 8 points.

As for the Trail Blazers, they basically lost their scoring at the basket in the final quarter. Yao Ming squatted at the basket, and Ben Wallace was too exhausted to expand, and he squatted at close range.

But Ray Allen, Flying Squirrel, and Liu Xiu made 9 of 6 three-pointers in the final quarter!
末节开拓者队一共20投8中有6个三分球，在没有罚球的情况下，单节打出了24比18的比分！
At the last moment of the game, the Pistons threw four three-pointers in a row. Yao Ming grabbed two offensive rebounds, Ben Wallace had one offensive rebound, and Billups and Carter threw around the three-point line, but both missed. one.

最终，靠着刘秀的26分7板8助攻1抢断2盖帽、单场投进7个三分的雷-阿伦的28分、夸梅-布朗的16分13板、兰多夫的10分12板……开拓者队以96比91反逆转活塞队。

姚明20投11中，外加6中5的罚球拿到27分、本-华莱士14分14板、卡特18分、比卢普斯15分8助攻……核心球员表现很不错，第三节的应变很成功，但延续性不足……主要是末节雷-阿伦进了4个三分，直接把活塞队投垮了！
With a big score of 2 to 0, the Trail Blazers will hold two home games!
...

After the two home games, the Trail Blazers got two days off, played G14 on the 3th, and the next 3 consecutive games were the home games of the Pistons.

The next morning, Liu Xiu got up early to watch the video of last night's game.

The Trail Blazers will not be leaving for Detroit today and are planning to go tomorrow.

After watching the video, Liu Xiu still felt that the win was thrilling. Without Ray Allen's 4 three-pointers in the final quarter, they might have given up.

However, G1 Ray Allen also scored 25 points and performed well...

Unlike Randolph, who almost wrote 'I want to grab the FMVP' on his face last year, Ray Allen came here!
Regarding this, Liu Xiu just smiled. If a teammate really performed well and snatched the FMVP, it was his ability. The ball is shot!
