Healing Basketball

Chapter 975. Chapter 975. Myth will be shattered?
If Liu Xiu knew what McGrady was thinking, she might be speechless all night.

That will definitely affect Liu Xiu's performance tonight. The Knicks may be able to quickly overtake the score, widen the point difference, and beat Liu Xiu at home for the first time in team history...

Although he began to complain again, after the intermission, McGrady quickly accepted the reality and re-entered the game. After playing, he looked at Liu Xiu with wide-eyed and hot eyes.

He regained the feeling of fighting against all the superstars in the league five or six years ago.

The first time I saw Liu Xiu, McGrady didn't like that loose look in his eyes, and I still don't like it now.

But he has always liked to play against Liu Xiu and wants to win!
Liu Xiu didn't know that McGrady thought about so many outrageous things in just a few minutes, felt McGrady's fighting spirit, and looked at him with wide eyes, making no secret of the same passionate fighting intent.

Unlike her usual playing time of 38 to 45 minutes, tonight, if the point difference is not widened, Liu Xiu is ready to play the whole game.

The Knicks sent a combination of Nate Robinson, McGrady, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, and Jared Jeffries.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Blake, Liu Xiu, Korver, outlaws, and McDyess.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks took the lead.

Little Tudou made a strong breakthrough to Blake, and after encountering a flank attack, he divided the ball to David Lee. The latter caught the ball and turned around and hit a hook with his right hand.

As a left-hander, David Lee's right-handed hook is also very powerful.

The supplementary defense was in place, but he failed to defend. McDyess played very aggressively on the offensive end. After helping Liu Xiu pick and roll, he opened to a position he was good at, and made a decisive shot from the catch...Go in!
Then Blake made a three-pointer receiving the ball from the wing, Korver made a three-pointer with a pass back from the top arc, and the outsider made a tip... After a few rounds, Knicks coach Isaiah- The defense that Thomas emphasized during the intermission collapsed directly.

The assassin's defensive strategy is to try to let go of a certain player of the Trail Blazers and move ahead to pinch Liu Xiu.

However, the Blazers players have a very good offensive awareness. After sensing the opponent's movement, they actively moved to the best receiving point. Coupled with the excellent touch tonight, they made good use of the Assassin's defensive strategy.

The Knicks players directly gave up the Assassin's defensive strategy, relying on instinct defense is better than the Assassin's defensive strategy.

Fortunately, although the defensive end has been tossed, the offensive end of the Knicks continued to be hot.

McGrady scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the second quarter, leading the Knicks to 33 points in a single quarter!
刘秀这边，第二节拿到了10分3板2助攻1盖帽，率领开拓者队单节拿到32分。

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Knicks by 68 points 66 to 2.

The second quarter seemed to be played back and forth, but the pressure came from Liu Xiu's side.

If there is no 10-5 wave sent by the assassin at the beginning of the second quarter, the score will be overtaken!

More than 9 minutes later, the score was 22 to 28!

Although the offensive state is good and the coaching staff has reduced the defensive requirements to maintain offensive firepower, the impact of 5 games in 4 days on their Trail Blazers is still visible.

The start was fierce, and the shooting efficiency fluctuated a lot later!

For this situation, Liu Xiu didn't struggle, and took the initiative to communicate with the coaching staff to adjust the style of play during the intermission...

In the third quarter, the already open Knicks continued their offensive firepower in the first half!

However, the Trail Blazers also stopped the decline of offensive firepower-Liu Xiu turned on the West Coast mode, shooting wildly, and successfully shot 13 times in a single quarter!
尼克斯队那边，麦迪5投3中，外加2中2的罚球，拿到8分，加上大卫-李的8分、大Q的6分、弗雷德-琼斯的4分、第三节天气似乎晴朗了小鲨鱼拿到8分……尼克斯队单节拿到34分！
开拓者队这边，刘秀13投7中，其中三分球2中1，外加1中1的罚球，单节拿到16分3板2助攻2抢断，以一己之力扛着球队前进！

Teammates are less motivated to run, so stand still and wait for the ball to be shot, do the simplest run, be bold when passing the ball, and don't be afraid of making mistakes.

With this style of play, Blake scored 6 points and 6 assists in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu scored 3 goals, which were passed back by Blake. Liu Xiu received 5 passes from Blake in the crowd. He didn't expect The Flash to be so bold... He deserves to be the number one in the future Big shot guard.

Korver played an important role tonight. In the third quarter, he scored two three-pointers and scored 6 points. Birdman and the outlaws each scored 2 points... The Blazers scored 5 points with 32 players!
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers withstood the Knicks' counterattack. Although the lead was gone, at least they were not behind.

100 to 100, the Trail Blazers tied with the Knicks and entered the intermission!
...

40分8板7助攻3抢断1盖帽，典狱长三节打出了这数据，才堪堪扛住局面。

Maurice Cheeks blamed himself for underestimating the Knicks!

But he felt that whoever would switch would make the same choice—play hard against the Bucks and Kings, take turns when playing against the Knicks, and let Liu Xiu get restless.

Because Liu Xiu is the god of the holy land of basketball!

No, Liu Xiu played a god-level performance tonight.

but!

McGrady on the opposite side had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in three quarters!

Driven by McGrady, the singles masters of the Knicks withstood Liu Xiu's terrifying pressure and played outstandingly.

Maurice Cheeks did not expect to lose the fight against the Kings and Bucks, and the situation tonight is also worrying.

In fact, winning or losing this game is not important. Even if he loses 5 games in 4 games in 3 days, he can accept it.

But Liu Xiu's "undefeated myth" in the holy land of basketball was shattered, and he blamed himself even thinking about it.

Fortunately, the warden is in good condition...

That being the case, Maurice Cheeks had a bold idea and decided to implement it...

Back from the intermission, the two teams played in rotation.

For the Knicks, the starting lineup of Crawford, McGrady, Fred Jones, David Lee, and Eddie Curry is back on the field.

Liu Xiu watched McGrady, who played 32 minutes in the first three quarters, continue to play...Beside Kidd, McGrady has degraded a lot of abilities, but he has also learned a lot.

For example, a very forward-looking king's tactics-giving up defense and putting physical energy into the offensive end.

It is no problem to fight efficiently for more than 40 minutes.

The rotation on the opposite side is very traditional, it's all about fighting for strength. On my own side... Liu Xiu looked at his teammates and felt that he still underestimated the boldness of the sloppy-looking coach.

Playing with him are Ray Allen, Korver, Hill, and Birdman!
The referee blew his whistle, and the fourth quarter began, with the Trail Blazers going first.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and King McGrady's tactics were further upgraded, and the matchup was avoided, and Fred Jones guarded the top arc.

Liu Xiu quickly rushed to the right side of the top arc, and started to slow down two meters away from the three-point line. When he reached the right side of the top arc, he directly pulled up a three-point shot...

Fred Jones jumped forward actively, but only after seeing Liu Xiu take off, and did not interfere with the bold Liu Xiu at all.

Liu Xiu hit a three-pointer!

Wave to the extreme!

With this lineup, the defense is completely gone, and the offensive end will naturally be as much as possible!
