Chapter 500 500. This opponent is so strong!

Returning to the bench, Liu Xiu drank vegetable juice. This was a drink that his teammates were unwilling to try. Even the outlaw found it unpleasant to drink because he had squeezed all kinds of vegetables himself and they were all unpleasant to drink, especially Liu Xiu.

Show the lush greenness brought by it.

But the vegetable juice produced by the system is very delicious, Liu Xiu can only enjoy it by himself.

Entering the inter-session break, the first half to one minute is the time for the team members to wipe their sweat and relax.

Morris Cheeks came to Liu Xiu's side: "Warden, how do you feel?"

Liu Xiuying said: "Too bad, they were too stable. We seemed to have a climax at the end, but that was a loophole on the Spurs' defense. It was just because their defense was so good that we couldn't find that loophole until the end.

And take advantage of it, which Popovich probably expected."

"Oh, yes, the Spurs are the best defensive team I have seen in decades of being in the industry, but we don't have to worry about the Spurs playing better, right? This should be their limit.

"

"Yes, the Spurs almost lost to the Sonics in the first round, but they still relied on Bowen's iron heel to win."

"Iron hoof? Cool, I like that word."

"But we can't expect much fluctuation in the strength of the Spurs. No matter how the Suns impacted in the second round, the Spurs did not fluctuate at all. Even if the Suns won an upset, the G5 Spurs will still be stable."

"..."

Maurice Cheeks suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

Seeing Liu Xiu's brows unfurling, Maurice Cheeks felt that his goal should have been achieved. He came to talk to Liu Xiu before making adjustments, hoping to help Liu Xiu relieve the pressure.

However, watching Liu Xiu humming a song and handing the empty drink cup to the staff...

Bridge beans sack!

Maurice Cheeks felt the pressure rising in his heart...

Damn Vaco!

The bastard warden put the pressure on him!

Maurice Cheeks took a deep breath. As a coach, the ability to withstand pressure is a must. This is part of his job.

At least, you don't have to worry about the warden being overwhelmed by the pressure...

…

After receiving the healing value from the coach, Liu Xiu suddenly felt brighter.

But the pressure can never go away, the Spurs are so strong!

Liu Xiu understood why the Suns couldn't defend two home games, and couldn't beat them at home in G5.

too strong!

During the adjustment period during the inter-session break, the coach made rotation adjustments and made targeted adjustments on the defensive end according to Coach Bush's suggestions. However, on the offensive end, this time a large framework was laid out.

Leave the offense to the players themselves!

What Liu Xiu learned from the operations of the coaching staff was that the coaching staff had no idea what to do on the offensive end.

There is nothing wrong with the tactics of one round, but not every round can be called timeout, and even if it can be done, the power of the Big Three of their coaching staff is not enough.

At the end of the interval, the Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Delfino, Randolph, and Varejao; the Spurs sent out Parker, Bowen, Ginobili, and Mohan.

The combination of Mulder and Nesterovich.

The second quarter started with the Spurs attacking first.

Parker received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Ginobili did not ask for the ball, and Parker started to play singles.

Parker faced Liu Xiu and made a change of direction to break through, but his straight breakthrough failed to get rid of Liu Xiu's amazing lateral acceleration. When Parker did not break away from the defense and forced a breakthrough to the bottom line, it felt like Liu Xiu's steps back were faster than before.

A lot.

However, these shocking things could no longer scare Parker. He stopped suddenly at close range and took a feint shot. Liu Xiu didn't take off, but just stayed close to him. Parker didn't give up. He changed hands and threw a step-over shot, hitting the basket.

The inside of the frame popped out.

When Parker saw the ball hit the basket, he immediately turned around and retreated, throwing the ball away with his left hand.

The ball didn't go in, but he was still a little happy. He thought this move could work! It's a style of play worth developing, but it's difficult to develop throws with your non-dominant hand, and you need to practice better emergency stop skills. It's difficult.

It was bigger... But seeing Liu Xiu receiving Varejao's pass, Parker felt that he had to develop new technologies no matter how difficult it was.

During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Bowen's defense.

Bowen mustered up the courage to talk trash: "You can't score with my defense! You can only wave your arms."

Liu Xiu responded casually: "No, no, no, I can also step in."

"..."

Bowen didn't know what to say anymore. At this time, Liu Xiu suddenly accelerated to break through. Bowen followed closely and did not get distracted by the trash talk. Liu Xiu did not come hard like Parker, but took the ball.

The pass was passed back to Derek Anderson who moved to the top arc to receive the ball, and then began to move without the ball.

Seeing Liu Xiu start running again, Bowen cursed the street and chased after him.

He was a great candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year, a great defensive expert who was selected for the first defense for two consecutive years, but he was reduced to defending without the ball.

Derek Anderson did not choose to play in singles, but directed the offense honestly and signaled Randolph to catch the ball.

Randolph attracted a double attack with a single and passed the ball to Delfino. Delfino enjoyed a full confrontation and missed two points.

The blacksmithing feast continues in the second quarter!

The Trail Blazers are led by Randolph, while the Spurs are led by Parker. The West Coast style of this game is particularly strong.

The Spurs' troika keeps two people on the court, but Ginobili only performs well for about 20 minutes in each game, which is only a short period of time. His positive data is almost all in those 20 minutes.

According to statistics, in the first two rounds of this season, Ginobili's performance in each game has improved significantly. His average performance in 20 minutes was 15 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists with a 53% shooting rate.

Jordan's efficiency in the playoffs was similar to that of the 28-year-old Jordan. Of course, Jordan averaged 31+6+8 in 40 minutes per game in the playoffs that year, more than doubling the number of minutes.

But Ginobili won the title of 20-minute Jordan after the second round. Thanks to their opponent being the Warden, the media even touted the Spurs players, letting more people know about it.

Ginobili's performance in this year's playoffs was indeed very crazy. As a result, Ginobili became the second Spurs player to have a fan base other than Spurs fans. The first one was naturally a starter in six consecutive All-Star games.

Tim Duncan, according to statistics from the past two days, Duncan became the first player to endorse more than 200 brands with 202 endorsements this year, more than Jordan and O'Neal.

Therefore, Parker's frequent shots are caused by objective conditions.

Duncan rested, and when Ginobili was in the invisible stage 20 minutes away, he could only point at Parker.

Liu Xiu's defense against Parker was effective, and Coach Bush developed a targeted defense for Parker based on this point. Parker once again began his journey of forging.

But the Spurs are not afraid of Parker hitting the iron, because they can rely on defense to make the opponent hit more iron!

The Trail Blazers are the passive one in terms of the rhythm of the game. Through Coach Bush's defensive adjustments and Maurice Cheeks' excellent personnel rotation, the Trail Blazers can keep up with the Spurs on the defensive end.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers struggled to hold on to the score 8-9, trailing the Spurs by 3 points 24-27, and did not allow the opponent to widen the gap.

After all, the Spurs were more adaptable to this style of play. In the second half of the second quarter, Duncan hit a mid-range shot after receiving the ball, and Ginobili hit a single three-pointer. The Spurs went on a 5-2 run and took the lead.

Expanded to 6 points, leading 32 to 26!

It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, with more than two minutes left in the second quarter. The Trail Blazers team consisted of Liu Xiu, Little Flying Squirrel, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown, and the Spurs team consisted of Parker and Gil.

Composed of Nobili, Bowen, Duncan and Mohammed.

After Liu Xiu advanced past half-court, he gave the ball to Flying Squirrel and continued running with Bowen.

Bowen, who had kept his mouth shut until now to avoid being beaten to death by Liu Xiuqiu, couldn't help it anymore: "You will be our stepping stone, just like the Suns..."

"Like you stepping on Allen? Shut up, I don't want to hear you spitting shit." Liu Xiu angrily shouted and accelerated from the left side of the three-second area to run around the free throw line.

Bowen was so angry after being scolded that he followed Liu Xiu's footsteps and wanted to do something. However, when he saw the surname "Liu" on the back of the person he was chasing, he immediately chose to endure it and thought

What's the difference between giving yourself a mouthful and scolding him just now? He vowed not to talk too much anymore and to focus on defense again.

But that moment just now still affected Bowen's defense. Liu Xiu received the ball in the top corner on the right side of the free throw line and used the screen to break through in the mid-range!

Bowen was so distracted that he didn't notice Kwame Brown's movement and was blocked. Liu Xiu took advantage of the pick-and-roll and triggered 'Buff: General'. He accelerated two steps and grabbed the ball. He Euro-stepped to avoid Muhammad who was coming up to defend him.

Germany, went straight to the basket, took off, and dunked... Duncan entered the basket when Liu Xiu dunked the ball into the basket. Not only did he not have a substantial defensive effect, but also because he was in a position when confronting Liu Xiu in the air.

While moving, a blocking foul was called!

Liu Xiu's goal was valid and he got an extra penalty!

Liu Xiu celebrated with high-fives and high-fives from his teammates, and walked to the free throw line to make an extra free throw amid the cheers of the fans.

29 to 32, the point difference narrowed to 3 points!

When he entered the basket to receive the ball and exited the baseline to serve, Duncan patted his thigh.

It's obvious that it can't be repaired in place, so I have to put this leg up by myself!

He always thinks about what if, if the opponent is careless, if he attacks the frame casually, his seemingly useless defense will be effective, and there are indeed successful cases.

It's just that most of the time this is the case.

Liu Xiu's dunk boosted the morale of his teammates. In the last two minutes, the Flying Squirrel hit a single three-pointer. Kwame Brown grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu then passed it to Randolph. Randolph

After scoring a layup, the Blazers went 5-5 with the Spurs at the last moment of the first half. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers trailed the Spurs by 3 points, 34-37!
Chapter completed!
