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

Chapter 95 Needle-pointed wheatgrass, three points against

In the third quarter, Lillard's three-pointer was still unsolvable.

三分球5中5，两分球2中2，罚球3中3。

One scored 22 points.

Almost invincible, Xiu turned the audience.

Coupled with the fact that Lillard effectively restrained Liu Ming's energy, it was equivalent to liberating McCollum's offense here.

CJ's jumper and flip shot were all in the battle, 6 of 5 shots, and 2 points were soft.

Fortunately, on the Lakers side, Liu Ming and James also began to feel bored.

Liu Ming made 5 of 4 three-pointers, 12 points in a single quarter, and 7 assists.

老詹的三分3中1，两分球8中7，罚球2中2。

This is so that they will not be attacked by the Blazers' double guns and once again widen the score between the two teams.

But chasing points is also very difficult.

The point difference has been maintained at around 13 points.

This is the result of Liu Ming's decisive decision.

If Liu Ming hadn't given up his plan to kill Lillard in time in the second half of the quarter, and resolutely implemented his tactics of forcing him to be strong and refreshing Foshangang, the Lakers might have completely collapsed.

During breaks.

In the Dongguo NBA live broadcast room, there was a lot of buzz about Lillard on the barrage.

"Guide Li is unstoppable! It's a fool's errand to vote, but no matter how you vote, there is no solution!"

"Liu Ming is also jumping blindly. Damn, he didn't touch the ball once. How can he learn from Super Mario?"

Mina was a little anxious and said, "I don't think the Lakers have experienced such a heart-wrenching moment in so many years. I feel that if it weren't for the hard work of Lao Zhan and Liu Ming, the Lakers would collapse in minutes."

Teacher Su shook his head, "Lillard is going crazy, and this cannot be judged by common sense. The Lakers have nothing to do in a short period of time, they can only continue to consume his physical strength, and finally gamble on the hit rate."

Director Du continued, "But this is not the way to go. While Liu Ming is consuming Lillard's energy, Lillard is also consuming his energy."

"The Lakers' outside shooting percentage has always been relatively low. Before Liu Ming's sudden emergence, it had to rely on James to shoot three-pointers."

"It dragged on until the fourth quarter. Lillard's physical strength was almost exhausted, but Liu Ming also did it. At this time, no one can stand up for the Lakers. It's still a loss."

During breaks.

Vogel made decisive adjustments, "Liu, let Pope guard Lillard in the fourth quarter. I want you to focus on offense. Once you have a chance to make a shot, make a shot immediately. Don't hesitate, understand?"

Liu Ming nodded, "I know."

He also said to Pope, Caruso, Kuzma and others: "You have also seen Liu's shooting rate, so whether it is inside or outside, when Liu has an opportunity, you must pass the ball to him as soon as possible! Try not to let the Blazers continue to widen the point difference when LeBron is resting."

Rest time is fleeting.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James sat on the bench to rest, and Lillard was also replaced by rotation.

The Lakers' backcourt combination is Xiao Hei and Liu Ming.

Xiao Hei is an extremely emotional player, whether he is a person or a player.

Liu Ming didn't have any major conflicts with him, and since Liu Ming successfully suppressed Booker for Schroeder on the court last time, the two have reconciled.

But if Liu Ming implements Vogel's plan as soon as he comes up, it may arouse Schroeder's narrow-mindedness again.

Therefore, after the opening, Liu Ming did not directly make a "single" show, but chose to let Xiao Hei take the lead first.

Since the Blazers' defense was not very good, it was easy for Schroeder to rush in after receiving a pass from Liu Ming.

It's just that when he rushed in and faced the opponent's big center, the height disadvantage was obvious.

Two passes, only one was played.

The second was directly blocked by the Blazers' Nurkic.

Fortunately, Pope was very reliable this time, he protected the ball and passed it to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming took the ball near the 45-degree three-point line.

Facing McCollum, a feint moved forward.

While blasting the ball vigorously, follow up with a retreat step to complete the dry pull.

Three-point shot!

McCollum wanted to jump up and block the shot, but it was too late.

The shot is soft and has a beautiful arc.

Swish!
The point difference was reduced to 10 points!
Seeing this, Bill, the on-site commentator, immediately extended his voice: "Three points——Liu! Ming!"

Although the home fans did not cheer, they all clenched their fists.

Turning around, McCollum attacked with the ball.

He played a pick-and-roll with center Nurkic and dribbled to the inside.

The Lakers insider Harrell hurried over to make up for the defense.

McCollum hit the ground and passed the ball to Nurkic who was running down.

Immediately afterwards, Nurkic made a single-handed dunk.

The point difference was pulled back to 12 points again!
Looking back, the Lakers attack.

Liu Ming points the ball to Schroeder at the top of the arc.

Through the skill bonus of [King of Flash], he once again ran out of space in the bottom corner.

Schroeder reciprocated with peaches, and served him comfortably with a wonderful biography.

After Liu Ming received the ball, without even thinking about it, he shot a three-pointer from the corner!
"Shh!"

The difference is 9 points!
Less than one minute into the fourth quarter, Liu Ming made two three-pointers.

With the live DJ's passionate broadcast, the auditorium, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to ignite the hope of recovery again!

It also played a timeout for the Blazers.

……

In the Dongguo NBA live broadcast room, a 666 screen was swiped.

"As soon as Lillard goes, I, Ming'er, will start the day again, and the horn of counterattack has already sounded!"

"I actually felt a kind of violent aesthetics from Mingye's two three-pointers just now. This feeling is too burning!"

"Seeing that you have never seen the world, sit down for me. I don't know if my Master Ming's fundamentals understand this!"

"The Blazers may have to allow Li to play. Otherwise, three points and two points, I, Ming'er, will get the score back soon!"

"Damn it! If Lillard goes up, aren't these two going to make a three-pointer against each other?"

Hearing Mina reading the barrage, Teacher Su took the initiative to ask: "Director Du, what do you think? Will the Blazers let Lillard play?"

Director Du nodded, "From the coach's point of view, Lillard must be allowed to play. Otherwise, once the home team's momentum rises again, I'm afraid it will not be easy to hold back."

"This is already the fourth quarter. If the Lakers even out the point difference under the leadership of Liu Ming, it will definitely be a dead end for the Blazers."

"After all, it's hard to say whether Lillard's touch can continue, but James will take over the game immediately once he plays."

I have to say that Lao Du is still very good at being a coach.

After returning from the timeout, the Blazers really sent Lillard.

It seems that the hero sees the same thing.

The coach of the Blazers does not want to easily ruin this hard-won lead.

This time, Lillard still chose to play off the ball.

Tear City's best green leaf McCollum played quite alike, and it seemed that he was trying to play mid-range with center Nurkic in the pick-and-roll.

But when the Lakers assisted in the defense, after CJ protected the ball, he passed the ball back to Lillard outside the three-point line with a wonderful pass.

Facing Pope's defense, Lillard raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

Bang!
The arc of this ball is very flat!
Like a heavy cannon, it slammed into the basket.

Bang!
The baskets were smashed with a trembling sound.

This three-pointer seems to be a counterattack to Liu Ming's two three-pointers.

The Lakers home fans are gnashing their teeth at Lillard again at this time.

Every time the Lakers are close to catching up with the score, this guy will jump out and make trouble.

"This guy is so annoying!"

"Without a doubt, Lillard is absolutely the most hated person in my life."

"Damn it, why is he so accurate!"

Liu Ming glanced at the expressionless Director Li, his lips moved slightly.

In fact, he really wanted to say, "I wipe!"

But endured it, and swallowed it.

Looking back, the Lakers organized the offense.

Liu Ming bypassed the screen and hit the ball back with a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The three-pointer also hit!

Lakers coach Vogel took a sharp breath, and then suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

Instead, James patted Vogel on the shoulder and motioned him to relax.

Vogel glanced at James.

The two looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant - it was such a damn good feeling to have such a guy on the team.
