Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 97 The Insane Data Brush

It may be that the post defense has played a role, or it may be that Lillard's physical exertion has caused the hit rate to drop.

In the next shot, although Liu Ming failed to block Lillard smoothly, he added another block stat for himself.

But Lillard missed the three-pointer.

Liu Ming's side was very stable, and made another 45-degree three-pointer.

The head coach of the Trail Blazers had no choice but to request a timeout.

At this time, the Lakers were still 6 points behind.

But in the heart of the Blazers coach, not only was there no joy, but was full of frustration.

You know, from the beginning to the present.

Lillard has hit 13 three-pointers against the sky.

What is the concept of 13 three points?
The league's current single-game three-point record is 14 created by Tang Shen of the Warriors!
No.2 is 13 of Ku Ritian!
So Lillard has tied the league No.2.

At this time in the past, it is said that the opponent should have been defeated long ago.

But the magical Liu of the Eastern Kingdom that I met today was so fierce.

Under his outstanding performance, not only were the Lakers not overwhelmed, but their morale was immediately boosted.

And strictly speaking.

The three-point game against Lillard was briefly suspended due to Lillard's failure.

This really makes the Blazers coach feel like a dog.

However, hitting each other for three-pointers is a huge drain on Lillard's physical strength.

The man of the yellow race might have had a worse time, and he had definitely reached the limit of his physical strength.

So as long as James is guarded next, the Blazers can still take the game away.

In fact.

The coach of the Blazers is very accurate!

Liu Ming had long been gritting his teeth and persevering.

Insufficient upper body strength has always been his shortcoming.

Therefore, in the process of soaring three-pointers, he also consumed a lot of physical strength.

Seeing that Liu Ming was sweating profusely and his chest was heaving violently, the head coach of the Lakers quickly threw a towel to him, "Liu, can you keep up with your physical fitness? Otherwise, you can come down and rest. This is just a regular season. If the overdraft causes serious injuries, it will not be worth the loss."

Liu Ming was panting.

To be honest, he was a little tired.

But at the critical moment when the game came to an end, even if he gritted his teeth, he had to stand up.

Otherwise, all previous efforts may be wasted in a blink of an eye.

That's right, you can always trust James when you are in the Lakers.

But Liu Ming hated the feeling of putting his own destiny in the hands of others!

What's more, he also has the super recovery of [Physical King].

The more exhausted the physical strength, the higher the recovery efficiency will be!
Gritting your teeth, you can really hold on!
So, facing Vogel's question, he nodded firmly and said, "No problem, I'm fine."

Vogel seemed to sense Liu Ming's desire to fight.

He nodded, indicating that Liu Ming would not be replaced.

In fact, Vogel started from his heart, so why not have high hopes for this game.

The timeout is over, and both sides return to the court.

When the Trail Blazers were attacking, CJ dribbled the ball across half court and did not look for Lillard immediately.

Apparently, the latter was also tired.

Lillard played longer than Liu Ming.

And before Liu Ming posted his defense, Xiao Hei and Pope had been double-teaming, so his energy consumption was greater than Liu Ming's.

The Blazers ran three straight, with pick-and-rolls from McCollum and Nurkic turning the offense.

On the Lakers side, Zhan Huang began to control the field.

Perhaps it was because of Liu Ming's difficulty in chasing points, which aroused Zhan Huang's strong desire to protect.

After taking over the game, LeBron fired full fire.

Three-pointers, two of three shots.

Then there is the line of a famous funny commentary-Lao Zhan breaks through with the ball, Lao Zhan strategizes, Lao Zhan is full of fake moves, James is invincible, so lonely...

Soon, the 6-point difference between the two teams was evened out.

At this point, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Lakers called a timeout.

When looking back, James continued to kill the inside and hit a goal.

The momentum is like a rainbow!

The goal was scored, and the Lakers roared to the sky!

The two commentators on the scene were also crazy about it, "Look, this is the performance of the greatest player in the NBA! I said, as long as James is in the Lakers, you can always trust him!"

The sound of the scene rose again.

When the Blazers were attacking, Lillard missed a three-pointer under the interference of Liu Ming.

The rebound was grabbed by McCollum, and finally made a successful tip-up, tying the score again.

The Lakers lost a key backcourt rebound, Vogel hurriedly called a timeout, and then yelled at the Lakers.

"What are you all doing! In such a critical situation, a guard with a height of less than 190 was allowed to get a backcourt rebound..."

……

In the Dongguo NBA live broadcast room.

Mina was a little annoyed, "What time is this! Old Zhan Mingming is stuck in the backcourt, why just wait and not grab it."

Teacher Su sighed: "Oh, the thick eyebrows are not there, the Lakers' backcourt rebounds are really deadly! What a great opportunity this time, if you get the rebounds and go fast break, you have a 4-point advantage, and the next game will be much easier."

Director Du is also quite regretful, "Competitive games are like this. The more you get to the end, the more you will test the hard strength of the team. A little inconspicuous small mistake can often be magnified infinitely."

"The Lakers have to deal with their backcourt next."

"Now that Lillard is seriously exhausted and the three-pointer is not accurate, the Blazers must give priority to playing around CJ."

"Although CJ's three-point ability is not weak, he is obviously better at breakthroughs and mid-range! In this way, if the Lakers lose backcourt rebounds, I am afraid that it will be really dangerous in the end!"

"You know, the closer the game is to the end, the more bizarre Lillard's performance is! There is not much time left for the Lakers!"

on the field.

Listening to Vogel's warning about "rebounding in the backcourt", Liu Ming couldn't help but feel his heart move.

Lillard missed a three-pointer and is recharging his energy, and his chances of making calls are bound to decrease.

And even if Lillard makes a shot, he may not be able to seize the timing and complete the block.

On the contrary, rebounding seems to be a good idea.

But it is limited to the frontcourt board, the backcourt board must be left for Zhan Huang to pick up...

Don't ask why.

This is the "ball quotient" that a younger brother must have!
The game is over with 1 minute and 45 seconds left.

The two teams finally stood on the same starting line!

When the Lakers coach emphasized the importance of backboards, the Trail Blazers coach was writing and drawing on the tactical board at this time.

"On the defensive end, keep an eye on No. 11 of the Lakers. Don't let him shoot three-pointers. Force James to play inside, foul when necessary, and prompt him to make free throws!"

"On the offensive end, Damien seized the time to recover his strength, and the whole team played around CJ!"

"CJ, you boldly shoot, boldly shoot, shoot if you have the opportunity, and shoot if you don't have the opportunity, don't hesitate!"

"The Lakers' backcourt rebounding is a weakness. When you can't make a shot, whether it is Nurkic or Carmelo Anthony can grab a rebound and make a tip!"

At this time, all Zijin fans on the scene put their hands together and prayed secretly.

All the fans in front of the screen also had their hearts racing and adrenaline soaring.

After returning from the timeout, the Lakers organized an offense.

James took the ball to reproduce the bulldozer style of play.

Carrying the 37-year-old veteran Melon with his body, he fought bravely to the inside.

But the Blazers' Nurkic has long been waiting inside.

Seeing that the timing was bad, James made a back pass to Liu Ming who was outside the three-point line in the left corner.

But Lillard and McCollum obviously won't let Liu Ming make a smooth shot.

In desperation, Liu Ming had no choice but to pass the ball to Pope at the top of the arc, and he quickly squeezed into the inside line with the skill bonus of [King of Flash].

Before Liu Ming reached out for the ball.

Seeing that no one was coming to defend, Pope directly shot a three-pointer.

Bang!
Three-point strike!

The basketball hit the front of the rim hard and bounced high.

The Blazers couldn't help but chuckle.

Center Nurkic took the lead and waited for the basketball to fall.

However, at this time.

Liu Ming suddenly jumped up high from behind Nurkic and directly took the basketball out of the air.

Immediately afterwards, he planned to make a tip-up.

But Melon jumped high on the side, if Liu Ming made a shot, it would definitely be blocked.

Liu Ming had no choice but to throw the ball and continue to look for the outside Pope.

Pope took the ball and made another three-pointer!
"Oh!"

Still strike!

But it has not waited for the Trail Blazers to be happy.

Everyone saw that Liu Ming jumped up again like a spring man, picking up the rebound.

Nurkic roared angrily, joined hands with Melon to form a double-team, and the two reached out to cut the ball at the same time.

Liu Ming was facing the basket but didn't have any chance to make a shot, so he had to flick his wrist to pass the ball.

Don't look at the pass!
Immediately afterwards, Pope missed a three-pointer.

Liu Ming let out a low cry and soared into the air. In the fight with Nurkic, he bravely took off the rebound for the third time.

And when he was in the air, he passed the ball to James who was waiting for an opportunity.

Once James gets the chance to accelerate, it is impossible to stop him!

The helpless Anthony had to foul to block this must-have layup.

"beep!"

Defensive foul!

Liu Ming fell to the ground and roared to the sky, "Ah..."
