Healing Basketball - Chapter 814

   Although Liu Xiu scored 34 points in the first half, the Trail Blazers still trailed the Raptors by 14 points 49 to 63.

  With such a score, when they came back from the halftime break, the overall mood of the Trail Blazers was quite unstable, and neither Liu Xiu nor Maurice Cheeks could suppress the instability.

   As for the Raptors, the morale is high and the fighting spirit is high!

   On this basis, Sam Mitchell was still very cautious. At the beginning of the third quarter, Sam Mitchell sent the twin towers together.

  The outside trio sent the steady Calderon, Anthony Parker who shot the most accurate back line tonight, and Joey Graham who did the best defense on the forward line.

   Taking advantage of the impatience and instability of the Blazers, the Raptors scored 14 to 7 in the first half of the third quarter.

  77 to 56, the Raptors extended their lead to 21 points!

At this time, Sam Mitchell finally dared to replace Milicic, who had played for 30 consecutive minutes without a break, to rest for a few minutes, but Bosh, who played 24 minutes in the first two and a half quarters, still stayed on the court. Playing Nesterovic partner.

   Felton, Morris Peterson, and Joey Graham were sent to the outside line to strengthen the defense.

  The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Blake, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess.

  Liu Xiu was not replaced because the point difference had reached the point of ‘garbage time’. Seeing Milicic sit down on the opposite side, he knew that there was finally some hope.

  The opponent is so well prepared for the battle, in such a good state, and has such a strong desire to avenge him, and is extremely firm… Their “paper”-like “11-game winning streak” empty shell was suddenly punctured.

  However, he himself realized how ’empty’ their 11-game winning streak was.

   But in the game, he didn’t think about it deeply, but focused on finding ways to win the game.

   Whether or not you can succeed is one thing, and if you have a possible opportunity, you can’t give up.

   After returning from a timeout, the Trail Blazers attacked. Liu Xiu changed direction and passed Felton, went straight to the basket and made a layup against Nesterovic, causing a foul!

   After Liu Xiu broke through and defeated Felton in singles, his speed was directly off the charts. Bosh + Milicic can defend well. After all, Liu Xiu is tall there.

   But become Nesterovic…Liu Xiu can finally dig inside!

  His extra penalty was also added, his personal score increased to 6 points in a single quarter, and his overall score increased to 40 points!

  59 to 77, the point difference narrowed to 18 points!

   When it came to the Raptors’ offense, Bosh made a breakthrough throw in a face-to-face singles, 79 to 59, and the point difference came to 20 points again.

  Transition of offense and defense, Blake advances with the ball, Liu Xiu moves without the ball, Blake organizes the offense.

  When Liu Xiu ran back and used McDyess to cover and run out of opportunities, Blake passed the ball in time!

  Liu Xiu caught the ball from the right corner, turned around and took a step up the line, and made a two-point shot…hit again!

   Next, although Bosh’s singles step back and mid-range shooting technique is very beautiful, it is iron.

   Liu Xiu’s high post on the right side of the free throw line turned around and made a short-range emergency stop jumper and then hit it!

   Liu Xiu scored three goals in a row, and the Raptors players panicked a bit, but with a score of 79 to 63 and a 16-point lead, the Raptors players quickly calmed down.

It’s just that the scoring pressure is still coming. After they lost to the Trail Blazers last time, they almost watched the Trail Blazers’ games this season. out of hand!

Felton felt that he could do it again, and forced Blake to enter the inside lane. Before reaching the close range, Felton suddenly accelerated and threw Blake away, and flew to the basket…”Crack”…Kwame Brown shot the ball Cover!

   Liu Xiu retracted to grab a defensive rebound and counterattacked!

   Felton, who was hated, immediately turned around and chased… The distance between the two was getting farther and farther…

   Felton felt as if he saw Ford galloping ahead, but the guy on the opposite side weighed more than him!

  As Liu Xiu counterattacked and hit a layup, ‘Kobe time’ started!

   This is the third ball of his ‘Kobe time’ command!

  65 to 79, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 14 points!

  Every 5 points is a ‘hurdle’. When the point difference changed from 16 points to 14 points, the feeling of the Raptors players changed immediately, as if the point difference was about to be reduced to less than 10 points.

   After the Raptors players opened the point difference to 21 points, their mentality had already relaxed, and suddenly tightened up, becoming extremely nervous.

  So, in the next 4 minutes, the Raptors only scored 6 points!

   Liu Xiu only lasted for two rounds after turning on ‘Kobe Time’. In the third round, he failed to score because of the opponent’s attack, but he also scored 5 difficult points by relying on ‘Kobe Time’.

   But in the later time, Liu Xiu made 2 of 4 shots and 1 of 2 free throws to score another 5 points, plus Blake scored a three-pointer.

   During these 4 minutes, the Trail Blazers played another 13-6 climax!

   In the third quarter, Liu Xiu made 9 of 14 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 22 points in a single quarter, scoring as much as the opponent’s team alone!

   29 to 22 in a single quarter, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 7 points, 78 to 85 behind the Raptors!

  …

  The fans at the scene had already recognized it and had to accept this fact.

  The opponent is really strong. They have won 11 consecutive victories, and they may lose at any time. It is not shameful to lose to such a talented team.

   Trail Blazers fans already have ‘strong team confidence’.

   I didn’t expect that they would turn the situation around!

   Chased 14 points in the half quarter and scored 22 to 8 in the half quarter!

   Among the 22 points, 19 points were obtained by the warden alone!

  The three-pointer Blake scored was still a pass back from Liu Xiu. It must be said that the Raptors team did a really good defense.

  After entering the intersection, Sam Mitchell also emphasized the need to stick to team defense.

“We want to lock up the rest of the Trail Blazers! We can’t defend like we gave Blake the opportunity just now! The warden is very good at scoring consecutively, but he can’t keep scoring! Stick to the defense, play the team’s offense well, and we can’t be chaotic. With this 21-point lead, we can now regain that advantage…”

  Sam Mitchell was actually stunned by Liu Xiu in the third quarter. He was in a hurry for a while and didn’t know how to deal with it.

   His adjustments, the assistants think there is no problem. After a period of disorder for a team, the best adjustment is to stabilize again.

  If you don’t even have this, let alone a good response.

   Then, after the break, the fourth quarter began. Liu Xiu came up and saw that Fred Jones was defending him, so he pulled up and made a three-pointer without hesitation…

   Hit!

  59 points!
