Chapter 203 203. Worth Your Expectations! (Update 1415)

The rest of the Supersonic team had already completed their tactical moves. Before the ball reached Ray Allen, Brent Barry came by himself and missed a jumper with an emergency stop under the defense of Miles!

Reggie Evans was really fierce, and the direction of the ball was also in his favor, and he grabbed the offensive rebound again.

Dale Davis was stuck in a bad position, but he didn't jump around when he grabbed the rebound this time, and moved to Reggie Evans in time. After Reggie Evans grabbed the offensive rebound, he jumped up and shot directly, going straight. Dale Davis slapped the ball down!
Rahim came back to grab a defensive rebound, passed it to Liu Xiu, and then quickly ran to the frontcourt.

I admire a little...

After he failed to defend in the last round, he heard Liu Xiu say 'don't jump' to Dale Davis. He didn't hear the others clearly, but he heard this one.

He personally felt what the outlaw fanatics said - the longer you partner with the warden, the more you will know how talented he is.

Rahim can only describe Liu Xiu as a genius, because he is just a rookie, the legendary rookie who went to the school team for trial training on a whim in his junior year...

He felt so deeply because he basically didn't have the ability in this area.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and the Sonics' defense also changed.

The Supersonics began to shrink their defense. Liu Xiu quickly pulled the ball and changed direction to break through. Miles blocked Ronald Murray. Liu Xiu broke into the inside and scored the ball on the left side of the three-second zone. ...Miss!
Ray Allen struggled to hold Liu Xiu's rush, and Reggie Evans protected the rebound.

Ray Allen took the initiative to catch the ball and pushed himself into the frontcourt.

Liu Xiu still presses up to defend, Ray Allen crosses and changes direction, passes Liu Xiu, attracts Miles' supplementary defense, and passes the ball to Brent Barry, who catches the ball and makes a three-point shot... Iron!
This is not the rhythm of Bai Feiren's game tonight!
Dale Davis finally protected the defensive rebound, not easy.

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the man defending him became Ray Allen.

Liu Xiu is not good at playing, he is not good at pick-and-roll, Ray Allen defends him, it is difficult for him to create opportunities for his teammates to take the initiative to pick-and-roll, so he made a decisive decision and handed the ball to Raheem.

Raheem was stuck by Radmanovic, he turned and wiped Radmanovic to the basket, Brent Barry interfered in place and missed!
Reggie Evans got the 4th rebound.

Raheem's offensive selection is not good. This is his old problem. He is very good at scoring routinely, but once the game is in a hurry, or when he needs to score at a critical moment, if he is singles, he will always be stuck.

When it came time for the Sonics to attack, Ray Allen chose to come by himself, broke through and hit the basket, and made a layup with a pull bar!

62 to 57, the Sonics took a 5-point lead, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout!
……

The game has entered the rhythm of the iron fight. Maurice Cheeks didn't blame anyone for not playing well, just adjustments.

The opponent followed Liu Xiu to strengthen the confrontation, played a shrinking defense, and used Ray Allen to defend against Liu Xiu, so they sent Little Flying Squirrel.

Need rebound protection, then put Randolph.

The opponent's tactics lack the link of Ray Allen attracting the pincer and then releasing the ball. If it cannot be opened, the team's offensive performance will decline and rely on the touch of the flank to catch and shoot. Then strengthen the confrontation and consumption, and replace it with outlaw lunatics...

It's very simple, just see the trick and break the trick.

The combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and Dale Davis played together.

Opposite, Ridnour, Ray Allen, Brent Barry, Lewis, Calvin Booth played.

Back from the timeout, the Trail Blazers played the ball in the frontcourt, and the flying mouse caught the ball and played a single, and made a two-pointer after an emergency stop.

The fans at the scene cheered excitedly, and the little flying mouse came up and broke the scoring shortage of the Trail Blazers.

But when it came time for the Sonics to attack, the cheers got louder...

With Ridnor holding the ball, Liu Xiu opened up a defensive defense that repeatedly dragged and dragged, hindering Ray Allen from receiving the ball and consuming Ray Allen's touch.

Ray Allen felt that Liu Xiu's defense was better than before the timeout, and he had a feeling of being bitten by Billups or Artest for a while.

But at this time, the Sonics had another player with an average of 20+ points per game-Lewis.

Lewis runs to catch the ball and makes a quick shot before the defense sticks...a long two.

64 to 59, the Sonics continued to maintain a 5-point lead.

But Lewis scored, and the Blazers were not in a hurry.

This guy is different from Ray Allen. He is a pure scorer. He needs his teammates to feed him the ball.

When it came to the Trail Blazers' offense, the game was very simple, and the little flying mouse continued to wave!

Liu Xiu slid the bottom line, and with Randolph's pick and roll, Ray Allen went around the line to chase Liu Xiu. Seeing that the little flying mouse easily threw off Ridnor and rushed in, he had to make up.

Flying Squirrel made a pass from the baseline on the left side, Liu Xiu caught the ball, and made a catch and shot within one step from the free throw line...Goal!
Playing team offense tonight, Liu Xiu felt very comfortable, and suddenly felt like he was back in college.

When it came to the Sonics offense, Lewis scored a goal in the last round, but failed to bring much help to the Sonics team offense.

Brent Barry was exhausted under the entanglement of the outlaws, and he passed back to Ridnour, and Ridnour singled out Momo...he couldn't single it out!

The advantages of Ridnor are accurate catch and shoot, both three-pointers and mid-range shots, and good passing vision. The only advantage of his breakthrough is his fast speed, but he has to compare his speed with Little Flying Squirrel?

Ridnour's strong shot under the confrontation!

When it came to the Trail Blazers' offense, it was a pity that the extrajudicial madman missed a two-pointer in response to the shot.

But even Ray Allen felt that it didn't matter if the Trail Blazers didn't make a shot. He felt that the Trail Blazers were gradually gaining the initiative.

I can only come by myself!

The Sonics attacked, Ridnour passed the middle circle, and Ray Allen pulled out to ask for the ball.

Liu Xiu stepped on the three-point line to defend, and Ray Allen came within one step of the three-point line, and Liu Xiu clung to him.

Ray Allen chose to break through, and Lewis actively looked for opportunities to catch and shoot.

The two cooperated well, and Lewis caught and shot again!

But Ray Allen's choice means that the Sonics' offense is directed at the two of them. In the first half, the situation where all four pitchers lined up outside can score is gone!
This is bound to cause Ridnour and Brent Barry's good touch to cool down.

But there is no way, if we don't fight like this, Ray Allen can't think of any other way!

After Lewis was replaced, he and Ray Allen played the main attack for the entire quarter. Relying on Ray Allen's 9 points and Lewis' 7 points, the Sonics scored 22 points in a single quarter.

The Trail Blazers scored quite low, mainly because they played too badly at the beginning and only scored 3 points in 2 minutes. Strong singles, rebound protection... 24 points in a single quarter!
After three quarters, the score was 79 to 80, and the Trail Blazers narrowed the difference to 1 point!
……

Trail Blazers fans have many impressions of Liu Xiu, some good and some bad.

But the defensive end is not very impressed with Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's defense does not have many steals. He averaged 1.3 steals per game, and he has blocked shots in more than 50 games. The total of 5 blocks is less than 0.1 blocks per game, and they are not included in the statistics.

But there is almost no case of being scolded for poor defense.

Which means no one noticed his defense.

Even if he is a diehard fan who cares about this aspect, he thinks Liu Xiu's defense is not bad, but he won't say how good it is.

But tonight he did a great job against Ray Allen alone!
Skills are not good, relying on the body to attack, relying on teammates' supplementary defense and assistance defense, but not the kind of dependence that hinders the legs. After the teammate supplements defense and assistance defense, Liu Xiu also did a good job in the next thing. When it's time to switch defenses, switch defenses, and when it's time to withdraw to grab rebounds, then withdraw... 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter!

None of the Trail Blazers fans thought that one day Liu Xiu's defense would be needed to turn the situation around.

And it's really dependable!

Warden, you deserve any expectation!

Ray Allen scored 27 points in three quarters and Lewis scored 21 points in three quarters. The two scored unknowingly more than 60% of the Sonics' team's points.

In the third quarter, he was still able to move C, but in the fourth quarter, he really couldn't do it.

27分5板8助攻2抢断1盖帽，雷-阿伦拖着疲惫的身体上场，却看到对面那个典狱长斗志昂扬的盯着他……

When he was the core of the ball, he was not good at dealing with the type of defensive players like Francis and Baron Davis.

But playing against these two is okay, he can use off-ball play to deal with them, and those two are easily distracted in defense against off-ball.

But this rookie in front of him is more difficult to deal with than those two. This guy's enthusiasm for defending off the ball is no less than that of defending the ball!
To be precise, this rookie is more diligent and conscious when defending off the ball than with the ball...

In addition, in the away game, the referee didn't give face. Liu Xiu defended like that, and he fouled once in the third quarter.

After the start of the last quarter, the Sonics, who were still able to hold on in the third quarter, collapsed!
As expected by the Trail Blazers, when the role players' shooting touch declined, the Sonics' offensive efficiency gradually collapsed...

The Trail Blazers quickly overtook the score in the final quarter and kept it.

At the end of the game, Ray Allen made strong outside shots for four consecutive rounds, which scared Liu Xiu so much that he didn't want to. Fortunately, he didn't make a single shot.

In the end, the Sonics only scored 18 points in the final quarter, while the Trail Blazers scored 25 points in the final quarter.

靠着小飞鼠的17分5助攻、拉希姆的12分、兰多夫的24分9板、刘秀的16分7板4助攻2抢断……开拓者队有惊无险的以104比98击败超音速队，拿下3月份的第一场胜利！
When the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it was too dangerous!

If Ray Allen actually scored two of the last four three-pointers, it would be hard to say. The Trail Blazers also scored few points in the last few rounds, and they might have been overtaken at that stage.

Moreover, he almost missed the mission!With such a defense, Ray Allen scored two three-pointers in the second half!

But Liu Xiu is more excited about his defensive improvement!
