Healing Basketball - Chapter 815

  Chapter 815 815. Super God!

   Liu Xiu’s personal score reached 59 points, and at the same time helped the Trail Blazers chase the score to 81 to 85, with only 4 points remaining!

  Ex-teammate Fred Jones, Liu Xiu is too familiar.

During his two years in the Trail Blazers, Fred Jones has received very good defensive training. He has no defensive talent. The focus of his training is to use his physical condition. Since he has no ability to predict, he should wait for the opponent to do it first. When making moves, relying on physical conditions to block defenses, not blindly ‘predicting’, and not chaotic defenses leading to loopholes in the overall defense is good.

  This defense is actually quite good against role players. All NBA teams need such ordinary and stable defensive players.

  It can also do a good job of defending against the opponent’s star suddenly.

   But Liu Xiu knows Fred Jones’ defense too well. As long as his physical condition meets the standard and he plays decisively, Fred Jones’ defense is free!

   When the Raptors attacked, Milicic hit Mourning with a low back and hit a hook that turned towards the baseline.

  87 to 81, the Raptors stabilized their position.

  At the transition of offense and defense, Liu Xiu caught Fred Jones’ defensive loophole and broke through to the free throw line with an emergency stop jumper!

  61 points!

  Fred Jones tried very hard to guard Liu Xiu but still couldn’t!

   Liu Xiu seized not only the loopholes of Fred Jones, but also the loopholes of the Raptors’ overall defensive strategy tonight.

   Didn’t see it at first, but by the end of the third quarter he totally figured it out—the Raptors were too serious about the ‘don’t take the lockout warden too seriously’ thing.

  That’s why he was able to score 8 points efficiently in 8 minutes after a crazy start in the first quarter.

  He was able to score 11 points in a single quarter when the team’s scoring environment was so bad in the second quarter.

  That’s why he was able to score 19 points in the second half of the third quarter when his teammates couldn’t score…

  Extreme things must be reversed, too much is too late!

  The Raptors missed the next second attack, but Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through to a close-range throw and made it!

  85 to 87, Liu Xiu’s personal score increased to 63 points, and at the same time helped the Trail Blazers narrow the point difference to two points.

  This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that “Kobe Time” is on again!

  In the first quarter, after Liu Xiu started Kobe’s time, the Raptors held on.

  But in the third quarter, the Raptors did not hold on.

  This time, the Raptors didn’t hold back either!

   In the next 3 rounds, Liu Xiu made all 3 shots, hit a three-point shot after a pick-and-roll, succeeded in a counter-attack dunk, followed by a catch-and-turn jumper from the bottom line, and scored 7 points in a row!

   During this period, the Raptors scored 1 goal, and Milicic scored a 2+1 in a post-up single.

   Liu Xiu played the Raptors 7-3 alone again, the score of the two teams came to 92-90, and the Trail Blazers overtook the Raptors by two points!

  The Raptors call a timeout!

  From the middle of the third quarter to the present, in less than one quarter, the Trail Blazers went from being behind by 21 points to leading by two points!

   However, the live fans don’t care about this now.

  70 points!

   After Liu Xiu turned around and made a mid-range shot, his personal score has reached 70 points!

  All the fans at the scene were either yelling ‘Warden’ or ‘MVP’.

   Not to mention the fans on site, even the Raptors players are crazy.

   Milicic returned to the bench and said to Bosh: “Chris, what are we trying to do? Is it really possible for us to win the warden? Now that the game is not won, the warden is really going to break the record…”

“Uh-huh?!”

   Bosh gritted his teeth and responded, but the tone of the second voice suddenly became higher.

  He also has similar thoughts. He believes that most of his teammates have such thoughts.

   But if Milicic said this, it would be bad!

  Although I don’t understand why, Milicic often plays very well in a game if he doesn’t say a word.

  When Milicic started to complain about himself, the problem really exploded!

  …

  After returning from the timeout, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

  The Raptors sent a combination of Ford, Anthony Parker, Morris Peterson, Bosh and Milicic.

  The Raptors are fully attacking and defending… Just double-pin Liu Xiu!

At this time, Sam Mitchell couldn’t care about the stability and instability of the defense. He chose to gamble, betting that Ray Allen’s three-pointers and Randolph’s mid-range shooting were cold, so he wanted to pinch Liu Xiu .

However, the Trail Blazers players had a chance, and they didn’t shoot. They just wanted to throw the ball to Liu Xiu. The Dragons don’t have four defenses and one defense. With that defense, even Milicic can’t handle Randolph and Kwame Brown rushing to grab rebounds.

In the next 7 minutes, Liu Xiu took 13 shots. The number of 13 shots hit was not as many as the 6 shots made at the beginning of this quarter. He only made 4 of 13 shots, and one of them was a tip-up. 2+1, but also scored 9 points.

   During this period, the Trail Blazers also scored 6 points by relying on the second offense.

  The Trail Blazers players passed the offensive rebound to Liu Xiu if they could pass it to Liu Xiu.

   On the Raptors side, the offense collapsed! Only 8 points were scored in more than 7 minutes.

   Relying on this wave of 15 to 8, the Trail Blazers opened the point difference to 9 points, leading 107 to 98!

   It was the Trail Blazers offense again. Liu Xiu broke through in singles, and Calderon, who played in rotation to defend against shots, was caught by Calderon in a panic.

  The scene boiled instantly! The fans at the scene held their breath and immediately cheered up!

  The number of fouls by the Raptors has already arrived, and Liu Xiu gets two free throws!

  Calderon yelled ‘leak’, hugged his head and knelt on the ground. You don’t need to see his expression, but you can see his current pain only from the state of his limbs.

   “MVP…MVP…MVP…”

  After the fans cheered frantically for a while, Liu Xiu hadn’t stepped onto the free throw line and was celebrating with his teammates by high-fiving.

  After celebrating for a while, Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line and made two consecutive free throws amidst the uniform and rhythmic MVP chants of the fans.

  The big screen posted Liu Xiu’s data.

   33 of 53 shots, including 5 of 12 three-pointers, plus 10 of 12 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 81 points, surpassing Kobe’s single-game scoring record of 80 points in a single game for active players last season!

  The game has reached 11 minutes and 02 seconds. Liu Xiu made two free throws to open the point difference to 11 points…Sam Mitchell called a timeout!

   Surrender! 58 seconds miracle? nonexistent! Don’t ask for this!

  The big screen was given to Sam Mitchell, and the fans immediately booed Sam Mitchell, but immediately started shouting “We want the warden” and “The warden will fight until the end”.

  The big screen shifted the camera from Sam Mitchell to Liu Xiu, and the screams and cheers of the fans rang out again.

  The Raptors players also focused their attention on Liu Xiu.

   Milicic looked at Liu Xiu on the big screen and pouted with regret, then smiled, turned and walked to the bench.

   Just when Milicic was about to look away, he saw Liu Xiu raised his right hand as he walked, and the other three fingers were naturally bent, only the index finger was raised high…

  The cheers of the fans who had just cooled down were boiling again!

  The ESPN reporter who had the opportunity to interview after the game didn’t care whether the game was over or not, and rushed to Liu Xiu with the cameraman. The recording party of tonight’s live broadcast was also ESPN, and the director cut the camera to the live screen.

  The reporter was incoherent with excitement, but Liu Xiu replied calmly: “Chris said that it is impossible for me to score higher than their whole team. He was right. I lost this time. I will work harder next time.”
