Healing Basketball

Chapter 996 996. Narrow victory in the first battle! (4000 words)
After playing 45 minutes, as the main ball holder and the one with the most passes in the Trail Blazers team, he made only 3 turnovers.

This was difficult for Liu Xiu last season.

Liu Xiu's attitude of making great strides in many aspects at the same time made Nash feel paralyzed.

In another two years, when this guy reaches the peak period of combination of technology and physical fitness, will there still be any shortcomings?

This guy even improves his defense every year!
The judgment of the situation is becoming more and more mature!
If Liu Xiu fires infinitely tonight, there will be Raja Bell on the outside, O'Neal on the inside, and the front line will attack... Nash feels that they have already established the victory.

But Liu Xiu chose to play the ball of opportunity, giving the ball regardless of whether his teammates shot well or not, so that his teammates could shoot boldly and find the touch. Only then did Lu Wei explode in the third quarter and bloom more in the final quarter.

Nash admired Liu Xiu's choice this time because he was targeted at defense and his teammates made open shots.

During the preparation time before overtime, Zonda and Bully stood on the sidelines with their hips crossed like that. Terry Porter didn't bother the two, and replaced Barbosa, Raja Bell, and Diaw.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Korver, Randolph, and Chris Anderson.

Soon, overtime began, and the Bully overwhelmed the Birds to win the jump ball, and the Suns went first.

Nash singled Liu Xiu, took one step horizontally to seize the time difference and quickly threw the ball. Liu Xiu could directly fly the racket with a single miss, but it was just a little bit short, and Nash's three-pointer was hollow!
With a 47% three-point shooting rate and an average of 2.2 three-pointers per game, I really can't afford to provoke... Liu Xiu clapped his hands and ran back to catch the serve.

After advancing to the frontcourt, facing Raja Bell's defense, Liu Xiu's excellent rhythm and acceleration as at the beginning of the game, the front of the body changed direction and passed Raja Bell!

Dior expanded to cover the defense, Liu Xiu took the initiative to lean forward, kicked Dior away with a back kick, then turned around and rushed inside, and took off!The little bully couldn't dodge in time, Liu Xiu rode the little bully and smashed the ball into the basket!
The referee didn't give the whistle, and Liu Xiu turned around and retreated directly after landing.

But the Suns did not start a fast break, but advanced slowly, pressing the rhythm.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu, who retreated to the backcourt, felt very strange...

Is this because the positional battle went well tonight, forgetting that they originally played fast break?
In the regular time, O'Neal scored 36 points and did not play 10 minutes. The speed of the Suns seemed to be getting slower and slower. In the 4 minutes that O'Neal did not play in the final quarter, the Suns seemed to be slow. When he pulled it back completely, Liu Xiu didn't pay attention.

Looking at it now, it turns out that playing basketball is not as simple as imagined.

He began to think that the Suns can switch between two different stages of play when O'Neal is on the court or not. When O'Neal is on the court, he will grind the position, and when O'Neal is resting, he will play fast...

The actual situation seems to be quite difficult.

But this is not important tonight. Nash, who scored 28 points and 8 assists in regular time and just made a three-pointer, made another long two-pointer and raised his score to 33 points!

Liu Xiu put aside distracting thoughts, he also chose to do it by himself, and hit a short-range throw!
The cheers of the fans at the scene boiled up.

MVP showdown!
The two MVPs keep responding to the ball!
Then the Trail Blazers began to pinch Nash. The two pitchers Raja Bell and Barbosa made 3 of 0 shots in overtime, but the little bully received an even-pointed goal and made a mid-range shot and a cut to eat pie, scoring 4. point.

Nash scored another long two-pointer after a pick-and-roll.

纳什3投3中拿到7分、小霸王4投2中拿到4分，太阳队在加时赛中拿到11分！
On the other side, Liu Xiu was also flanked after scoring two goals in the start, but this time he chose to rush!To die!
O'Neal couldn't move anymore, and he couldn't reach out to interfere with the basket guard. At this time, Liu Xiu broke through, which is the strongest offensive method of the Trail Blazers!

Liu Xiu made 7 of 4 shots in overtime, including 1 of 1 free throws, and Randolph scored a tip-up.

11 to 11, the Trail Blazers and the Suns tied in overtime!The referee continues to work overtime!
裁判吹响哨声进入休息时间，纳什双手撑在膝盖上，21投12中、其中三分球10中6，加上7中5的罚球拿到35分10助攻的他，感觉自己要废了。

If you take 35+10 at a fast pace and feel as good as tonight, there is no problem, and he is happy to come to two overtimes, maybe it can be 40+10, or even 50+10...

But the slow pace is killing him!
As far as the increase in confrontation is concerned, it is a big trouble for a guard who is not physically strong like him.

The Suns don't have Finley on the outside to take on the opponent's main defense.

He looked at Liu Xiu, who was drinking vegetable juice, and finally understood why Kobe, who was as physically strong as him and far stronger than him, was thrown up by this guy.

The recovery ability of this product is simply not human!

Obviously, everyone had spent a few rounds of positional warfare together, and they were as tired as dogs together, but when they came back from a pause, they recovered...

When the Suns played run and bomb before, the two teams also played overtime, but they played fast at that time, and Nash didn't feel much.

For the first time in his career, he felt the difference in physical strength in this positional battle!

...

Nash wanted to rest for another 2 minutes, but the second overtime game started as scheduled.

Kwame Brown, who only played 1 minute in the last overtime, started the second overtime, and won the jump ball by defeating O'Neal, who seemed to be more tired than when the regular time was over.

After resting for more than ten minutes, O'Neill couldn't move anymore.

Liu Xiu received the ball and rushed at full speed!
Go to the free throw line to grab the ball, avoid the defense with a European step, enter the interior flexibly and quickly, take off and put the basket to score two points.

The hunting time is on!
Little Overlord’s performance plummeted due to his physical strength. His playing time was actually not bad, and it only took 40 minutes to count the first overtime game. With an average playing time of more than 5 minutes per game, it can kill the bully.

O'Neal and the bully played together, and they didn't want the ball to play alone. The offensive end stood on the edge of the three-second zone and watched, and they couldn't grab offensive rebounds.

Only Nash was left holding on.

In overtime, Nash took 9 shots and only scored 5 goals. Nash made 2 of 3 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 7 free throws, scoring [-] points.

On the other side, Liu Xiu reached the second overtime and performed even better than the first overtime!

Except for Kwame Brown's missed layup, Liu Xiu took all the shots taken by the Trail Blazers in the second overtime game, making 8 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. Liu Xiu beat the Suns by himself. 14 to 7!

At 10:58 p.m., the final whistle blew.

31投20中，其中三分球4中2，外加11中10的罚球，刘秀打了55分钟，拿到52分15板6助攻3抢断3盖帽！

118 to 111, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns in double overtime and defended their first home game!
"...comprehensive score S..."

"Four differences:... 1 win, 0 losses..."

After the game, Liu Xiu was prompted by the system, and almost lost the best reward for this task.

Although he may not necessarily choose the talent 'Son of the Wind', if he loses the chance to get the reward of 'Required Talent Fragment-1' in the first round, it will be very uncomfortable right now.

The defending champion lost in the first game of the playoffs, and it was embarrassing.

This time with 52 points, in addition to winning, his 50+ times in a single game also tied with Iverson, and tied for the No. 50 number of 1+ times in a single game among active players in the playoffs!
He didn't remember the record, but it was posted on the big screen.

Teammates flooded onto the court, surrounded him, and celebrated the hard-won victory.

He didn't think about how difficult the game was, and enjoyed winning!Enjoy 52 points to lead the team to reverse!

...

On the first day of the playoffs, the games were very good and did not disappoint the fans.

Want to see defense, yes!

詹姆斯18投2中，其中三分球6中0，外加12中8的罚球，只拿到12分，但有10板10助攻6抢断2盖帽！

James' defensive performance tonight was more than top-notch!
The Cavaliers already have a top-five defense in the league. When James, the core defensive core they surround, defends, only from the defensive end, they are comparable to the Bulls!
But the Cavaliers can only score Larry Hughes and Big Z. The former scored 16 points and the latter scored 18 points, which is really not enough.

公牛队那边也只有3名球员得分上双，加内特22投13中，外加2中2的罚球，拿到28分8板3助攻3抢断4盖帽。

Hinrich 15 points and 6 assists, Pierce 17 points.

79 to 72, the Bulls narrowly beat the Cavaliers by 7 points.

Let's not talk about some whistleblowing issues on the offensive end, just look at the defense. Time Warner Cable sports commentators Hubie Brown and Bill Walton called the defense of the two teams a textbook level.

This kind of defense can be played under the current rules. If the defensive rules before 04 are used, it will become a nightmare for the league.

Want to see the match, yes!

In the final game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Iverson scored 38 points, Anthony scored 37 points, and the two scored 75 points together, leading the Nuggets to 119 points, with an astonishingly high offensive efficiency.

但湖人队那边，德隆22分3板8助攻、奥多姆12分7板6助攻、费舍尔5分3助攻、王治郅11分5板6助攻、卢克-沃顿6分5助攻、弗莱10分2助攻、乔-史密斯8分2助攻……湖人队出场的球员有10人，其中9人合力拿下32次助攻，另一位独狼只送出了1次助攻。

科比25投16中，其中三分球9中6，外加8中8的罚球，拿到46分14板1助攻2抢断。

The Lakers beat the Nuggets 128 to 119 in the soaring score battle!
There are also those who want to be funny.

The game between the Pistons and the Magic was a game in which Beast doubted his life.

When Yao Ming was on the court, Howard made 5 of 1 shots in singles, 9 of 2 overall shots, and 2 of 0 free throws, scoring 4 points.

Yao Ming only played 28 minutes, while Howard played 46 minutes. Howard took a rest of 2 minutes when Yao Ming was on the court, that is, the time for the two to go to work in a staggered peak was 20 minutes. In these 20 minutes, Howard scored 20 free throws. 20 of 8 free throws...

The Pistons slammed the defense as in the regular season, and the defensive response focused on the shark-killing tactics.

霍华德全场14投4中，外加22中8的罚球，拿到16分8板1抢断3盖帽，魔术队进攻直接崩盘，全队只拿到72分。

活塞队方面，姚明19分8板3助攻3盖帽，比卢普斯12分8助攻、卡特17分、马克希尔12分、詹姆斯-琼斯10分、本-华莱士5分8板3盖帽……

91 to 72, the Pistons beat the Magic.

However, the hottest game after the game was the game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns that received the least attention today!
双加时，刘秀单场52分，纳什42分10助攻，奥尼尔20分10板3助攻4盖帽……

Before the start of the playoffs, people thought this series was the least suspenseful of the 8 series.

The series between the Bulls and the Cavaliers was intense, and some people had expected it. The Cavaliers' style of play is the shit stick style of play, and no one wants to encounter it.

I didn't expect the Suns to push the Trail Blazers to that point.

Shark fans are shocked!
The Sharks can still do it in the playoffs - this topic is even hotter than Liu Xiu's record of 50+ times in a single playoff game tied with Iverson!

...

Liu Xiu didn't watch the news, play with his mobile phone, or touch the computer, and his family got used to his habits. Dad watched live broadcasts and news, but he always went back to his room to watch.

At this time, everyone chose to talk to Liu Xiu about other things.

However, he still learned from Randolph how Yao Ming bullied Beasts during training in the afternoon. The hottest topic last night was that O'Neal scored 20+10 and his role in the playoffs was still very strong, but as of today , the hottest topic became the Pistons' shark-slashing tactic against Howard.

Liu Xiu called Yao Ming and congratulated each other. After winning the first victory, Liu Xiu teased: "How could you do such a thing? Do you know how much harm the beast's young heart has suffered?
It's brutal! "

Yao Ming asked back: "Then the next time you play against the Magic, what will you choose to do?"

"Cough cough", Liu Xiu's voice was much softer: "Tell me about the way to get Howard's mentality and the timing of the foul...cough cough, what is stealing, Howard will represent the US team in this year's Olympic Games, we are teammates , Fu Runde, this is the necessary information for our Olympic campaign..."

After chatting with Yao Ming for a while, Liu Xiu hung up the phone, isolated himself from outside news, and practiced 200 more three-point training tasks before returning home.

However, although he wanted to isolate the information from the outside world, the first round of this year's playoffs was so exciting, another unexpected thing happened!
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiu took a shower and came to the bed. Anne-Hathaway looked at Liu Xiu's perfect figure with a ruddy complexion. The two were about to do something that could not be broadcasted, when there was a knock on the door!Knock and shout!

It was the voice of the unlucky sister!Fortunately, the young couple used to lock the door behind them!

Anne Hathaway put on her pajamas and tied them up, came to the door and asked, "Qinger? What's the matter?"

"Brother, Annie, you're upset! The Spurs were upset by the Warriors in G1!"
