Healing Basketball

Chapter 246 246. Give Me a Chance!
Liu Xiu's two assists at the beginning were like drinking water!

The fans at the scene exclaimed in disbelief, and the Trail Blazers players didn't understand what was going on in the way the game unfolded.

Getting along day and night, training and playing games together every day, in the past two days, the teammates have discovered that Liu Xiu's unbelievable state in the past half month has passed.

But the Grizzlies don't know!
Because it is impossible to judge whether Liu Xiu is in good condition from his style of play.

The team comes first, even in the month of April when the state was unfathomable, Liu Xiu's style of play has not changed much.

Although the Trail Blazers players didn't immediately figure out what was going on, but the opportunity came, of course they had to make good use of it.

Halfway through the first quarter, Liu Xiu had 5 assists.

Hubie Brown worked hard to adjust, but the opposite coach was also taking advantage of this unexpected joy to make full adjustments.

At the end of the first quarter, Liu Xiu's assists increased to 7 times, 4 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. He also scored the first steal in the playoffs of his career, leading the Trail Blazers to a 32-16 lead over the Grizzlies by 16 points!
The game is almost spent!

"The opponent gave us a chance in the first quarter, but we can't pin our hopes on this. We must be prepared to be counterattacked. The opponent is a 50-win team, and we cannot underestimate them..."

Veteran Dale Davis hustles his teammates during the break.

戴尔-戴维斯提醒效果非常好，开拓者队去年就是那支差点下克上的球队，50胜的他们首轮遇到了60胜的小牛队，从0比3打到3比3。

The 3-0 score is still in danger of being almost overturned, not to mention leading by more than ten points in the first quarter of a single game.

There is a warden in the town, a butcher to mobilize the enthusiasm of teammates before the game, and a gold medalist during the game. A veteran like him uses his experience to urge and warn his teammates not to be careless...

This allows the head coach of the Trail Blazers to fish again after changing players during this intermission.

It also made the coach on the opposite side jealous just seeing those players of the Trail Blazers!
Without a leader, Hubie Brown already knew.

This leader does not lie in strength or weakness, it can be an experienced locker room veteran, an indomitable sixth man, even if it is just an old fish next to the advancing guard.

The problem is they the Grizzlies don't!
not a single one!

For several games, Hubie Brown lamented the lack of that one person.

But the record of 50 wins and 32 losses means that they are winning most of the time. As a youth team and an emerging team, there are many problems to deal with. It has not yet reached the point where it cannot continue to improve without a leader.

Hubie Brown sees this as a problem for the future.

But tonight the question became extraordinarily serious.

After playing one quarter, Hubie Brown discovered that it is hard to say whether the Trail Blazers are the weakest of the top five in the Western Conference, but they are definitely the most restrained one.

His team members are afraid of what to do when they see the rookie on the opposite side?
Seeing the rookie on the opposite side, his team members thought of that 52 points, and thought of the Lakers being hammered for 62 points not long ago...

Also, this rookie should have belonged to them!
Not to mention the players, he, the coach, has great mood swings every time he thinks of this matter!

……

Back from the intermission, the Grizzlies sent Earl Watson, Dengtai Jones, Battier, Stromile Swift, and Jack Chakalidis.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, outlaws, Raheem, and Dale Davis.

The Trail Blazers took the lead, and Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced.

88公斤的厄尔-沃特森、95公斤的邓台-琼斯、100公斤的巴蒂尔，配上水货榜眼斯威夫特、218公分+129公斤的对付奥尼尔用的查卡利迪斯。

The Grizzlies' coping strategy can be seen at a glance-hand-to-hand combat!

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Derek Anderson after arriving in the front court, and started running without the ball. Derek Anderson launched an attack, Liu Xiu looked for a chance to respond, and Raheem was the first finisher.

Raheem was blocked by Chakalidis at the top of the arc in the reasonable collision zone, and he really couldn't impress the Grizzlies Krandorff, but Gasol was not the only one.

After Hubie Brown's repeated emphasis and scolding during the intermission, the Grizzlies' defense is normal this time.

However, there is always a chance!

Liu Xiu got a chance with the cover of Dale Davis on the flank. When Raheem stopped the ball, his first goal was to find Liu Xiu, and he passed it immediately.

Liu Xiu took the cover and rushed to a position close to the bottom line on the right to receive the ball, turned left 90 degrees to face the basket and took off, Deng Tai-Jones switched defenses and made up, but Liu Xiu's turn and shot had a fallback!
In addition to the 25% shooting speed bonus of the 'catch and shoot expert', when Deng Tai-Jones' hand covered Liu Xiu's release point, the ball had already flown over his head...

It feels good, Liu Xiu's catch the ball and turn around and make a jumper!
The bottom line fans started to cheer wildly after seeing this scene for a second!

The fans at the scene didn't see the details clearly at first, so they played it back on the big screen, and the whole scene was excited!

The Grizzlies' thoughts are -- are you kidding me?

If Liu Xiu's agency hadn't said that he didn't have time to participate in the interview while developing the fadeaway jumper, no one would have thought about it.

Coupled with the fact that other Trail Blazers players seem to be proud of their ability to develop a backward jumper, it is impossible for the Grizzlies players not to think about it!

34 to 16, the point difference came to 18 points!
To the Grizzlies offense.

Earl Watson organizes the offense, has a very strong commanding ability, and has a good grasp of the timing of the ball.

After Battier's pick-and-roll from the flank, he pulled to the left corner. Swift cut into the pick-and-roll without the ball to attract the defense. Earl Watson passed the ball to Battier, and Battier made a three-pointer!

19 to 34, the point difference narrowed to 15 points.

The tonnage is large, stable, and the action is not easily affected.

Hubie-Brown's rotation has been praised by the commentators of major TV stations. This lineup does not look like a star, but it is practical!

On the defensive end, the Grizzlies' lineup is more practical. Raheem tried to attack from a longer distance. The Grizzlies' defense adjusted in time. Raheem had to pass the ball to Dale Davis first. Make a transition, it's easy to pass the pass, but the ball can't come back!
The Grizzlies put a pass-cut defense on Dale Davis.

It was Liu Xiu who found the opportunity to respond!

But this time the chance was much worse. Liu Xiu received the ball at a big step beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and Battier moved in time to block his offensive line.

There was not much time left in the attack, so Liu Xiu had to come by himself, and quickly dribbled towards the right sideline, and came to a position at an angle of about 30 degrees on the right. Seeing this, Battier immediately pressed up. He knew that this angle was Liu Xiu's COSCO Cast the most accurate point.

Liu Xiu took a step back when catching the ball, retreated to the outside of the three-point line, and avoided Battier. Battier continued to press up without jumping. Liu Xiu had no way to retreat, and there was no time. Fadeaway jumper shot...

Relying on the raised right leg, Liu Xiu got a little space for his shot and threw the ball in time.

When Battier rushed forward, he accidentally bumped into Liu Xiu's raised leg and knocked Liu Xiu down.

Originally the referee didn't intend to blow the whistle, but the ball went in!

Seeing this, the referee blew his whistle, Battier made a defensive foul, and Liu Xiu's three-pointer was valid, and an additional penalty was required!
The fans at the scene went crazy!
37 to 19, the point difference came to 18 points, and Liu Xiu got an additional penalty!

Liu Xiu herself didn't expect to score this goal, pure luck.

The Grizzlies players don't think so either!
The fans at the scene are purely supporting their own team.

The Grizzlies players focus on the details. As professional players, they can see that Liu Xiu has really learned the fadeaway jumper!
What have we lost?
The confidence of the Grizzlies players has been hit!
What came to mind was the scene of them getting 52 points by Liu Xiu at the beginning of the season.

There was also a scene where they watched the live broadcast a while ago, and Liu Xiu beat the OK team with 62 points in double overtime and scored the first in history.

Watching Liu Xiu go to the free throw line and make extra free throws, scoring 6 points in a row to increase his personal score to 10 points, and at the same time widen the point difference to 19 points, Hubie Brown scolded + repeatedly exhorted, so that the players could be well The normal defense, at this moment, collapsed!
The defense is normal, the defense is so good, Liu Xiu still scored 1 points in 6 minute, and continues to defend. Do you want to become bigger and stronger and create more glories so that Liu Xiu can also break the record in the playoffs?For example, the first rookie in history to score 50+ points in a playoff game?

Block him!Can't let him score again!
……

"I'm really lucky, don't do this."

"give me a chance!"

"I only cast once!"

"It was an accident just now. I was passing the ball. He just fell into it. Who would shoot like that!"

After Liu Xiu scored 1 points in 6 minute, the defense he encountered was even more brutal than the first quarter!

No mobile phone opportunities were given at all, and there were even situations where he slipped out of the baseline without the ball and was double-marked, and Rahim went into the basket to catch the ball and dunked directly.

The more frequent double-marking without the ball was due to a counterattack. At that time, Liu Xiu was chased by White Chocolate, who was playing in rotation, and there were Grizzlies players waiting to block Liu Xiu on the three-point line. When the top arc was more than one meter away, the lob was given to the outlaw lunatic who was about to come down from the wing... The ball fell directly into the basket, and it was considered a three-pointer.

For his playoff debut, although Liu Xiu didn’t expect to score 36 points in his playoff debut like Rose did, he still has to make a 20+ point in a single game. He scored 1 points in just one minute of the second quarter. Then 10 points at halftime...

It is not only the scoring that is affected, but the assists are also affected. It is better for the opponent to flank tightly and pass the ball out to let his teammates take charge of him to take care of the team. After seeing the effect, he felt that it was really fragrant!

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies played really well offensively. They scored 25 points in a single quarter. It felt really good. They actually scored 25 points in this kind of slow-paced hand-to-hand combat.

But the Trail Blazers scored 33 points in a single quarter... 1 point more than the first quarter!
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led 65 to 41, and the game was ruined at halftime!
