Chapter 444
444. Let the ball fly a little longer
Parker, who had made all three free throws before, heard this and unconsciously increased his strength when taking the second free throw!
If Liu Xiu turns on the taunting mode, even if he is insulting, Parker will not be affected. It should be said that Popovich learned from Larry Brown's curse to vent his emotions, and used it on Parker, which actually helped Parker develop more and more skills.
Mental toughness.
But Liu Xiu seemed to recognize Parker's strength, and it had an unexpected effect!
Parker's shot was very straight, with no problem in the direction, but it hit the inside of the basket and bounced back in the direction it came from!
When Parker threw the ball out, he secretly screamed, but before he had time to be upset, he saw the ball flying back towards him, but before he could feel surprise, the ball was passed by Liu who reacted faster.
Show snatched!
The defensive awareness and discipline of the Spurs players are incredible. Parker immediately turned around and retreated, catching up with the flying squirrel!
The flying squirrel received the ball and was unable to get rid of Parker's pursuit. Bowen and Ginobili also retreated quickly. Ginobili retreated to the basket. Bowen intercepted Liu Xiu at the three-point line, but Liu Xiu had already charged up.
Xiu sideways knocked Bowen away and rushed inside to receive the ball!
Bowen was almost knocked out of breath! But the referee did not call. Bowen endured the pain and turned to chase after Liu Xiu. He followed Liu Xiu closely and cooperated with Ginobili, who had retreated to the basket, to double attack Liu Xiu!
Liu Xiu performed the European step. Ginobili was too familiar with this move. When Liu Xiu started his second step, he predicted Liu Xiu's landing point and blocked Liu Xiu with the same amazing burst of horizontal movement!
Bowen also attacked from a flank immediately! He also predicted the landing point of Liu Xiu's European step!
Liu Xiu took advantage of the European Step talent bonus of the 'Snake Step' talent. He could step with all his strength every time he took a European step. Ginobili and Bowen still formed a circle!
but……
When Ginobili's blocking defense + Bowen's pursuit were about to form a pincer attack, Liu Xiu landed with his left foot on the left arc of the reasonable collision area and jumped directly, smashing the ball into the basket through Ginobili.
!
The referee's whistle came a little late, and after a slight hesitation, the whistle was finally given. Ginobili blocked the foul, and Liu Xiu's goal was valid and an additional penalty was imposed!
Ginobili was knocked down by Liu Xiu and sat on the floor. He stared blankly at Liu Xiu falling after dunking... He also saw Liu Xiu take a few steps away and even tried to hide his feet when he fell.
Bowen.
"Talent: Snake step triggers, the host attempts to end the attack with a dunk after this European step, bounce +3, bullet speed +3..."
The bounce is temporarily increased to 90, the bounce speed is temporarily increased to 92, and the European step + dunk, and the take-off of the dunk are also included in the three big steps of the European step! Take off with all your strength in the best condition!
This talent is copied from Ginobili's characteristics, but if it is used well, it will be difficult for Ginobili himself to achieve the effect!
All the teammates excitedly rushed over to celebrate with Liu Xiu.
95 to 95, Liu Xiu scored 8 points in a row to help the Trail Blazers tie the score, and there were extra penalties!
As the players were celebrating, the coach interrupted them and started taking turns.
Payton, McDyess, and Kwame Brown were substituted again. Flying Squirrel, Randolph, and Raheem only stayed on the field for a few seconds before being substituted again.
It is very common to predict many possibilities, but the actual direction is beyond many possibilities.
With these two substitutions, the "fashion status" of the Trail Blazers players was very clearly demonstrated.
Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line, calmed down quickly, and made the extra free throw steadily.
96 to 95, the Trail Blazers took the lead for the first time after playing for more than 3 minutes in the second quarter!
There were 16 seconds left on the clock and the Spurs didn't call a timeout because they didn't!
The Spurs' frontcourt players quickly ran forward to get into position. At every moment, the Spurs did not lack stability. Although they did not have exquisite offensive tactics, their regular offensive positioning was always very good.
The Trail Blazers rotated their lineup and calmed down the restlessness caused by Liu Xiu's dunk on Ginobili.
Liu Xiu continued to press the defense throughout the court!
This time, Parker was eager for Liu Xiu to foul, but after Liu Xiu failed to interfere with the return of serve, he just stayed close to Parker to fight. At this time, it was the Blazers' turn to slow down the pace.
Parker did not compete with Liu Xiu and immediately passed the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili advances quickly!
When Ginobili rushed to the three-point line, there were 10 seconds left on the clock. Payton went to the corner to defend Bowen's three-pointer, leaving the task of guarding Ginobili at the critical moment to the outlaws.
The outlaw maniacs steadily stay one step inside the three-point line, mainly interfering with shooting. Of course, they will definitely stick up if necessary, but there is still such a long time, so they must mainly focus on preventing breakthroughs + interfering with shooting.
But as soon as Ginobili reached the three-point line, he pulled up and threw a three-pointer!
It was too late for the outlaws to interfere! Parker and Liu Xiu had just passed the center circle, and Ginobili threw it away. Who could react?
However, there is no need to interfere. Maybe if you interfere with the other party, they will actually enter.
With a "bang" sound, Ginobili's three-pointer hit! And it hit the basket!
McDyess protected the defensive rebound. Bowen on the wing reacted promptly and immediately went in front of Payton to cut off the passing and receiving line. However, McDyess had good vision and threw the ball towards the center line. Liu Xiu just ran past the center circle.
Get the ball!
Liu Xiu called me stupid in his heart, how dare you throw the demon sword?
He immediately turned around and started a fast break. Parker actually had a chance to steal the ball, but he didn't react and was run over by Liu Xiu!
Liu Xiu did not rush to the opposite basket, but went straight to the right sideline. When he arrived at a 30-degree angle on the right side, he had slowed down, stopped very steadily, turned around with a great sense of rhythm, and took off very smoothly.
It's that silky feeling when the hand feels so hot...
Just when Liu Xiu was about to hit the ground after throwing the ball, he was knocked over!
Bowen?
No! It couldn't be Bowen. Although the collision was not small, it was just a pure confrontation. And if it was Bowen, he wouldn't have hit him. He would have stretched his legs... It seemed that his arm was also injured after the shot just now.
Take a shot, but he was knocked down... Also, how could Bowen catch up at such a long distance...
In an instant, Liu Xiu had a series of thoughts. When he was knocked to the ground, he saw the demon knife that fell to the ground after stumbling a few steps due to inertia!
As the ball plunged into the basket, Yaodao fell to the ground and hugged his head.
Liu Xiu fell to the ground. The fall was very painful, but the system determined that there was only a slight contusion on the shoulder muscles. With 200 healing points, rapid treatment could be completed in tonight's simulated training mode.
This three-pointer went in, the score was 99 to 95, the lead expanded to 4 points, and there were less than 4 seconds left. Then the Spurs were allowed to score. Even if they threw in a three-pointer, they couldn't come back... None of this
Important, important is that the warden has already scored 12 points in the past 30 seconds! And there are additional penalties!
At this moment, the boos at the scene were much lower.
It's not that the Spurs fans were defeated by Liu Xiu, it's that the mentality of the Spurs fans was shattered at this moment!
However, what Liu Xiu is thinking about right now is not the possibility of scoring 13 points in a row, or the great feeling of making a comeback, but - the Demon Sword is really a trick!
…
After Liu Xiu was helped up by his teammates who came over, he briefly celebrated and walked to the free throw line.
The fans at the scene finally calmed down and began to boo Liu Xiu with all their strength.
Popovich is now squatting on the sidelines holding his head, the same scene as Ginobili holding his head and afraid to see anyone.
Parker looked at Liu Xiu, who was shooting the ball to get a feel for it, and his view of basketball was somewhat shattered.
Just now, what was the score of the Trail Blazers? 87 points. What is the score now? 99 points!
Liu Xiu's personal score has also increased from 25 points to 37 points... Oh, no, Liu Xiu took a few shots and made an extra penalty, making it 3+1! Liu Xiu's personal score increased to 38 points, pioneering
The entire team scored over 100 points!
Muhammad sent the ball, but Duncan didn't even run forward. Parker just held the ball after receiving it and did not continue to attack.
The Trail Blazers players, who were already crazy with excitement on the sidelines, rushed into the court after Liu Xiujia made the free throw. The referee saw the reaction of the Spurs players and did not stop them.
The voices of the Spurs fans at the scene quickly fell silent after Liu Xiujia hit the free throw. It wasn't the boos that were quiet, but all the Spurs fans who were quiet. Everything happened too fast and too suddenly.
34 seconds of game time, from leading by 5 points to falling behind by 5 points and losing the game...a nightmare! It must be a nightmare!
Spurs fans were already celebrating the victory, but in the blink of an eye, the game was lost!
The scene was so quiet that the celebrations of the Trail Blazers players and the cheers of the few hundred Trail Blazers fans who came to the scene could be clearly heard.
The moment the final whistle sounded, reporters quickly poured into the stadium and surrounded Liu Xiu.
A group of 200-pound fat guys from the Trail Blazers were pushed away by a group of reporters.
The reporters now feel that God has given them happiness!
A good part of the media are officially organized by the NBA to support the scene. The NBA and sports media can also be regarded as partners. Occasionally, if there is such a demand, the major media will give face.
But those who come are usually the interview teams that are least valued by the major media. Although it is a duel between the warden and the basic skills, the duel between the two of them is not bad in the Rose City. It is definitely a good match at the home court of the Spurs.
Ugly and ugly.
This is also true. The first 47 minutes and 26 seconds of the game can be described as ugly.
The shining points in the game were the Demon Sword Unsheathed, Warden's 10 points in the first quarter, Duncan's steady performance, Little Flying Squirrel leading the team's counterattack in the final quarter...you can count the beautiful rounds on your fingers.
During the game, reporters kept complaining about unfair fate, but they didn't expect to see the craziest 34 seconds of the season at the end of the game!
After surrounding Liu Xiu, the reporters were noisy with uncontrolled questions. Some reporters asked friendly questions, some were excited, some were excited, and some, probably from the local media, asked questions full of hostility...
…
This was obviously not a regular post-game interview. Liu Xiu just picked the answer he liked.
"I feel very good now."
"With 34 seconds left, does that mean the game is over? But at that time, I felt like the game had just begun."
Chapter completed!
