Chapter 224 223. Demon Sword VS Demon Sword? (First update, please vote for me)

Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the basket and took two steps back. Randolph rushed forward and hugged Liu Xiu excitedly.

He thought that Liu Xiu would be done with a layup, but he was also worried about being blocked by the fast-handed Duncan.

Unexpectedly, it was deducted!

There were no dunks on counterattack empty baskets. There was a super rim protector in front of me, and he actually dunked!

Wait, it seems like O'Neal, Yao Ming... he also dunked.

Oh my god...

The fans at the scene were also shocked and surprised!

They also thought Liu Xiu would make a layup to finish the job, but they saw Duncan dunk on him!

Although it is not unusual to dunk Duncan, this moment is too important for their team.

Fighting spirit rekindled!

Keep your faith!

46 to 51, in such a fierce battle, the score difference is still not small.

The Spurs took the clear initiative from the beginning and were always in the lead. It took two and a half quarters to lead by 9 points. It was not easy to overtake the score.

but!

Trail Blazers players and fans have rekindled hope and confidence - we are not as strong a player as Duncan, but we have the most talented rookie General Warden Jayce!

A layup or a dunk, seemingly simple choices, have completely different impacts.

When the Spurs attacked, Duncan reached the frontcourt and leaned on Randolph to ask for the ball from close range!

The coach didn't arrange it like this, but due to the evil devil's power, Parker passed it without hesitation.

Duncan hit Randolph alone and couldn't hit him, but the hit was just a fake move. Randolph lowered his center of gravity. Duncan quickly turned around and his agility was no less than Randolph's. Randolph couldn't keep up when he raised his center of gravity.

Duncan easily got rid of what Randolph could only say was a decent defense and came to the right sideline of the three-second zone. He pulled up directly and flew toward the basket with a tomahawk...

Duncan's heart was filled with pride.

People have forgotten that when he confirmed his candidacy, he was said to have the height and wingspan of Marcus Camby, the running and jumping ability of Rasheed Wallace, and the wise mind of Grant Hill.

With the comprehensive skills of Chris Webber...a deluxe version of a dream!

He is a devil flying in the sky and playing basketball... "Pa"... Duncan's pride was awakened by the crisp sound of the block.

Hatred!

Duncan almost fell when he lost his balance and landed.

Antonio McDyess!

This hat is so clean and beautiful!

Randolph grabbed the ball and passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu counterattacked and was fouled by Parker.

Not able to surpass the opponent's position, ordinary tactical foul, good defensive choice.

Although Parker's individual defense was not good, his overall defensive awareness was excellent. He did a good job in making tactical fouls and continued to suppress the rhythm on the court.

Throwing the ball to the referee, Liu Xiu took the lead and gave McDyess a high-five.

His teammates followed up and gave McDyess high-fives to celebrate the shot he just blocked.

McDyess was very excited, and his sense of responsibility became heavier and heavier.

On the other side, when the Spurs ran back to the backcourt, Popovich roared on the sidelines and Duncan calmed down again.

It's that simple to get Duncan out of his upper state.

The Trail Blazers continued to attack, and Liu Xiu now really felt the difference in the state of the 'Demon Sword' and continued to play singles.

Making good use of the opponent's outside defensive strategy and his own threat to attack the frame, Liu Xiu broke through to close range and successfully attracted a flanking attack!

He had already noticed the opponent's defensive adjustment before launching the attack. He believed that it would be difficult to score against the opponent's iron-clad defense with him as the main defensive target, so he chose to actively trap himself in a pincer attack.

Score the ball to Reuben Patterson!

The tactics were very good, but it's a pity that we didn't score.

The Spurs are not an easy team to defend. Even though the Trail Blazers are gaining momentum, it will be difficult to completely narrow the point difference for a while.

When Randolph retreated from defense, he tapped his chest toward his teammates, indicating that he was to blame for not grabbing the offensive rebound.

The warden praises when the fight is good, and the butcher takes the blame when the fight is not good. The cooperation is quite tacit.

Next, the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, each scoring 4 points.

At 10 minutes and 08 seconds of the third quarter, the score was 55-50. The Spurs continued to maintain a 5-point lead and had the ball.

The Spurs are really strong. The situation just now was a bit like the game between the Trail Blazers and the Celtics. Liu Xiu entered the "demon knife" state and broke the balance on the court. The Trail Blazers were still gaining momentum.

But Duncan's overwhelming stability suppressed the Trail Blazers' momentum.

Parker's big throw and Duncan's back-turning left-hand hook also countered them on the offensive end.

Driven by morale, the Trail Blazers played so well, but were still held back by the opponent. Fox Sports commentators lamented that the Spurs were too strong and Duncan was too fierce.

However, on the court, it was not the Trail Blazers who became restless first, but Popovich!

Popovich motioned to Ginobili from the sidelines!

Ginobili came to the frontcourt to receive the ball and attack.

The Trail Blazers players, who had just been hit head-on by the stability of Duncan's leadership, immediately cheered up.

Coming!

One of the situations prepared during the preparations for the war - the stage when Ginobili was assigned to be the main attacker, appeared!

Although it may not happen, for example, if they didn't have Liu Xiu dunking on Duncan to boost their morale, they wouldn't be able to show up at this stage, but the Trail Blazers are prepared for this.

Now that we have waited, it means that a turning point may be coming!

The X-factor of the solid Spurs team - Manu Ginobili!

Ginobili played Ruben Patterson in isolation, and Ruben Patterson worked on defense.

With Ginobili as the main offensive point, his teammates don't know what offensive choices he will make, and his opponents can't even imagine it.

At this moment, Ginobili is like a No. 8 player who doesn't want to reveal his gender.

Even if there is no difficulty, create difficulty!

Singles breakthrough + emergency stop to collect the ball + quick shot and step after collecting the ball... If the referee hadn't had sharp eyes, he would have almost blown the whistle.

It’s so much like walking!

Reuben Patterson was knocked over!

At this moment, Ginobili seemed to be possessed by the souls of Iverson and Tim Hardaway!

After taking a step back, Ginobili shot a three-pointer from the left side of the top arc...

Not in the rhythm at all!

This is also the reason why Reuben Patterson's body couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was knocked down.

However, amidst the horrified shouts and boos of the fans at the scene, Ginobili feinted in such a beautiful singles and made a three-pointer without touching it!

Duncan, Randolph, Liu Xiu, McDyess, Malik Rose and other players: "..."

That's it?

Watching a breakthrough that was even more impressive than Tim Hardaway’s, this is the result?

The boos from the fans at the scene also stopped abruptly, and then the whole hall burst into laughter!

Liu Xiu thought of a sentence - one operation is as fierce as a tiger...

Ruben Patterson got up with mixed emotions. The shameful anger was gone. He didn't know whether he was more embarrassed or the Argentinian defender opposite him was more embarrassed.

The referee was professional and signaled the game to continue.

Popovich started yelling from the sidelines again to stimulate the enthusiasm of the players.

The effect is very good, Duncan's enthusiasm is very easy to mobilize, and his teammates listen to Duncan's words. Are you afraid that if you don't listen, they will kill you?

Although Duncan's move was friendly, his teammates felt it was a very dangerous move.

Although there is no evidence, some things do not require evidence.

However, the Spurs defended very well. Then the Trail Blazers only relied on Liu Xiu's foul and two free throws to score two points, but the Spurs also only relied on Malik Rose's rush and tip-in to score two points.

With 11 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs touched the ball out of bounds, and the Trail Blazers made their final attack.

The little flying squirrel was replaced, and the little flying squirrel received a sudden pass from Liu Xiu and hit a three-pointer at the last minute!

The referee confirmed that the goal was valid!

In less than two minutes of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers went 5-2 thanks to a three-pointer from Flying Squirrel in the last 11 seconds.
