McDyess protected the rebound and passed it to Liu Xiu, who received the ball at the free throw line and immediately counterattacked.

Carter was further outside and retreated to the basket first, but after entering the free throw line, he turned around and saw that Liu Xiu had slowed down after passing the center circle! He immediately pounced back... and braked quickly, but it was too late.

Liu Xiu took a horizontal step to avoid Carter, stopped suddenly and rushed into the paint. Carter turned around and failed to catch up. Liu Xiu jumped up high and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

64 to 57, the score difference came to 7 points!

After Liu Xiu retreated from defense, he and Randolph excitedly took off and bumped into each other.

Teammates and fans were extremely excited. Paul Allen, who was standing next to the bench, muttered in confusion: "Is such a simple dunk so exciting?"

Liu Xiu's mediocre dunk made him quite regretful. The one who defended him was Carter! Flyer! The best dunk king!

Coach Bu thought for a moment and felt that with such a high salary, he should help the boss to clear up his doubts. He explained: "The warden is happy because the opponent's defense is messed up. Carter has a size and a jumping advantage. The ball just now was able to retreat to the right place."

, Carter should stick to the basket no matter what, but he saved it, which means that the Pistons' defensive discipline has been disrupted due to pressure."

Paul Allen slapped him, that’s it!

Next time you take your girl to watch a game, if you encounter a similar situation, you can act cool.

Also, the opponent's defense is in chaos, and the Trail Blazers' lead has expanded to 7 points. Doesn't this mean that there is hope for tonight's party?

Ben Wallace ran back to serve and yelled at Carter.

The matter was the same as what Bush explained to Paul Allen, but from the perspective of the other party, neither of them was happy.

Carter received the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt to Billups. Paul Allen on the sidelines came to his senses and booed like a fanatical fan. The nearby fans followed and booed even more enthusiastically.

Paul Allen could see it, and the opponent's attack speed became faster!

Drawing inferences from one example, he still knew how to do it. He also saw that the opponent not only made undisciplined choices on the defensive end, but also stopped pressing the rhythm on the offensive end and seemed to want to rush.

Rushing means that a flaw may be exposed!

Billups' control of the court was still so strong. Even if the previous steady rhythm was broken, the Trail Blazers were unable to widen the point difference for a while.

Instead, at 4 minutes and 11 seconds, Carter received a pass from Billups and dunked Randolph to make it 2+1. The Pistons chased the score to 67-71, narrowing the point difference to 4 points, forcing the Trail Blazers to call

pause.

The Trail Blazers replaced Ray Allen and Kwame Brown, leaving Liu Xiu, Outlaw and McDyess.

The Pistons also replaced Yao Ming and Maurice Evans, leaving Billups, Carter, and Ben Wallace.

Yao Ming came on the court and the Pistons' offense continued. In the next 4 minutes or so, the Pistons scored 12 points and beat the Trail Blazers 12 to 11.

By 8 minutes and 55 seconds, the Pistons chased the score to 79 to 82, and the point difference narrowed to 3 points again!

In the third quarter, except for the 4-0 start, the Pistons always seemed to have the upper hand, going 22-18. This made Paul Allen, who was cheering on the sidelines, wonder if he was being beaten.

Did his defensive assistant cheat?

But Liu Xiu had been waiting for the opportunity for most of the festival, and it finally came!

Billups played most of the quarter on offense and defense, scoring 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal. He was already breathing hard!

Liu Xiu came to the top arc and started playing singles directly, breaking through with fake moves, and taking a step back three-point shot...

On this ball, his fake action was really fake. Billups predicted it perfectly, but his steps were a beat slower! He couldn't keep up! He couldn't keep up!

Liu Xiu's step-back three-pointer was not substantially disturbed. The 'Top Arc Killer' was triggered, and the three-pointer was +3, temporarily raising it to the top level of 95...

Liu Xiu's step back made a three-pointer!

The 5th three-pointer of the game!

85 to 79, the Trail Blazers' lead reaches 6 points!

When the Pistons attack, Yao Ming catches the ball in the low post and attacks... This is a fake move!

Mourning was tricked into lowering his center of gravity, Kwame Brown contracted with all his strength, and Yao Ming turned over and made a close jump shot... and it also went in! 81 to 85, the Pistons held on to the score.

During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu continued to play singles from the top of the arc, making the same fake move to break through, then step back, and hit a three-pointer...

Billups knew that Liu Xiu's breakthrough move was a fake move, and he felt humiliated because Liu Xiu's fake move shouldn't be so fake. Obviously, the opponent didn't even want to deal with it, knowing that he couldn't guard it.

But he didn't dare to retreat. What if Liu Xiuzhen just rushed in from the middle like that? What should Yao Ming do?

He could only pray to God that the hateful warden's hand would cool down.

It’s a pity that God failed to answer his prayers…

Liu Xiu retreated and made a three-pointer! 88 to 81, the point difference came to 7 points again!

Flip Saunders didn't dare call a timeout at this time.

At this time, a timeout is called, and the mentality is going to collapse!

I played hard for 8 minutes and made up for the 0-4 start. Now I have scored two goals again. If I enter the timeout to figure this out, my fighting spirit will definitely fall to the bottom!

He tried to maintain a calm expression on the sidelines, clapping his hands and making gestures to indicate defense.

Steady first!

The Pistons players were already panicking. Seeing the coach's clear instructions, everyone seemed to be grasping at straws.

Yes! Defense! Defense wins championships!

In the next two minutes, the Pistons' desperate defense pulled back the Trail Blazers' scoring momentum. During this period, the Trail Blazers only relied on Liu Xiu's counterattack and layup to score two points, but the Pistons also only relied on Liu Xiu's counterattack and layup.

Ben Wallace rushed for an offensive rebound and was fouled and made one of two free throws.

The score was 90 to 82, and the score difference came to 8 points.

Then Billups was guarded by Liu Xiu and made another three-pointer. However, the Pistons quickly retreated and the defense was in place. There were 76 seconds left. Just defend it!

At this time, the Pistons players had accepted the 8-point difference, and they had not given up yet. Reggie Miller could chase 8 points in 8 seconds, and Warden could score 13 points in 34 seconds...

They pin their hopes on the last moments...

As soon as they returned to the backcourt, the Pistons players saw Liu Xiu dribbling the ball and rushing towards them.

Is this? A fast break charge of one versus five?

Billups said something slang, he believed Liu Xiu could do this! Attack decisively!

When Liu Xiu rushed to more than one meter away from the three-point line, he was stuck by the expanded Billups. He did not stop moving and forced his way to the three-point line.

At this time, Carter rushed up from the flank. Seeing the actions of Liu Xiu and Billups, how could he not guess what Liu Xiu wanted to do?

But Liu Xiu did not withdraw from the confrontational force exerted by Billups. Instead, he stood up against Billups and shot a three-pointer before Carter's double attack was in place...

When the ball hit the neck of the basket, the buzzer sounded at the end of the third quarter.

But after the ball bounced up, it fell into the frame!

The referee confirmed that the goal was valid, and the big screen posted the data that had been prepared in time.
Chapter completed!
