Chapter 884 884. The middle-aged passion of coaches

Leading by 6 points at halftime, the Trail Blazers' morale soared!

After returning from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers prepared to win the game in one go...and then were beaten 25 to 17.

The 6-point lead in the second quarter was gone, and we were even led by two points!

Garnett made 3 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws, 10 points in a single quarter!

However, Garnett scored these 10 points in the last two minutes, beating the Trail Blazers 10-2 on his own.

In the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, Garnett played 7 minutes and made 0 of 3 shots in 7 minutes.

Before his 10-2 wave, the two teams were tied at 15-15 in the first 10 minutes.

That is to say, the Trail Blazers maintained their advantage at first, but Garnett broke out and threw in three points.

Liu Xiu calmly analyzed the current situation, and at the end of the quarter, he led his teammates to attack!

As he expected, they had indeed suppressed the Bulls' offense.

Garnett is indeed a top scorer. In the first eight playoffs of his career, he played a total of 47 games and averaged more than 20 points per game.

But if Garnett continues to explode and continue to perform like he did in the last two minutes of the third quarter, it will really cost him his life...

The Bulls' scoring in the final quarter returned to their performance in the first 34 minutes, scoring 19 points on 7-for-20 shooting in the entire quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu, who averaged 8 shots in the first three quarters, finally made a shot in the final quarter!

In the final quarter, Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter, plus 4 assists!

A simple and crude single shot, after throwing the ball in, attracted a double attack and assisted the ball, helping his teammates score 12 points.

The score in the final quarter was 27 to 19!

14 of 33 shots, including 3 of 10 three-pointers, plus 9 of 13 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 40 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, leading the Trail Blazers to a narrow victory over the Bulls 87-81, chasing the big score

1 to 2!

…

G3 won, and the entire Trail Blazers team breathed a sigh of relief.

After the game, the coaching staff continued to meet.

Now they work overtime and overtime every day.

Tonight Liu Xiu's efficiency seemed far inferior to that of the second game when he made 14 of 29 shots and scored 39 points, but in the eyes of the coaching staff, his actual performance was far better than the previous game.

G2 Liu Xiu's style of play has returned to the way he did in the first two years of his career, relying on the abilities of his teammates and scoring with the help of his teammates. This is a style of play that he is very good at. His data and efficiency are not low, but it cannot raise the team's ceiling.

function.

Liu Xiu's efficiency was low tonight, but he was the one who supported the team, and it was he who broke out and won the victory in the end.

Tonight's style of play, in the opinion of the coaching staff, is the safest choice. I believe in Liu Xiu's strength and their adjustments on both offense and defense... But even so, winning is still thrilling.

As the coaching staff of a quasi-dynasty team, they naturally have nothing to fear.

The first two games were more torturous, but now that I have won one, the pressure has been relieved a lot.

They have now entered the state of 'meeting the challenge', staying up late to study the game, peeling off the cocoons, looking for every possible advantage!

On the afternoon of the next day, when the Trail Blazers were preparing for the game, the coaches, with dark circles under their eyes but full of energy, helped the players adjust. The players actually felt the "blood" from a group of middle-aged people, and they started to get fired up and were full of energy.

!

Liu Xiu didn't expect that it was the coach who got angry first...

From the boss spreading money to the middle-aged coach's enthusiasm, these unexpected episodes are really important to their ongoing journey to win the championship.

…

On June 13, at 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers hosted the fourth game of the Finals against the Bulls at home.

After the game started, the Bulls were the first to make adjustments!

The Trail Blazers are not surprised. It was the Bulls who lost the last game.

It was the Bulls' adjustment that surprised the Trail Blazers - they actually strengthened their offense!

The routine is good, use Ben Gordon to lead Liu Xiu away from the baseline, reduce Liu Xiu, a second-level defense leader, to close the distance, Hinrich and Garnett pick-and-roll to attack the frame!

Hinrich tried his best to hit the basket tonight, and it really worked wonders in the first quarter. He only made 1 of 4 shots, but he made 10 of 10 free throws!

If you get 5 fouls, there are two shooting fouls. After the 3 fouls are reached, you get a defensive foul and you will get free throws. It doesn't matter whether you shoot or not.

Hinrich scored 12 points in a single quarter, and Garnett had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the Bulls to a 28-24 score in the first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers by 4 points!

Maurice Cheeks looked at Scott Scales on the opposite side. The opponent's adjustment was surprising, but the adjustment made by this guy really didn't surprise him.

The two have played against each other since they were players, playing in the same position.

According to Maurice Cheeks, the opposing coach is a weirdo!

He seems to be a mature and stable player, but from time to time he makes some crazy moves, such as getting 30 assists in a single game and killing his opponent for 40 points. This guy can do it.

It was the same when coaching. They both entered NBA coaching at the same time. They were both considered "young coaches" and regarded each other as competitors.

In Maurice Cheeks' perception, this opponent is very stable most of the time, but often makes shady moves... and that's what happened tonight.

It seemed to have achieved good results, but a flaw also came...and Maurice Cheeks discovered the opponent's flaw!

In the second quarter, the Bulls wanted to continue to expand their advantage.

Will Hinrich fight too hard? If he keeps playing like this, will the opponent see through it and it will be difficult to use in the future?

These are not important. Everyone on the Bulls thinks it is not important. What they want is to win this game. Then it is 3 to 1. They have got the match point. If they win one more game, they will be the champion. Even if they win this time

After the finals, everything was seen through by the opponent. They had already won the championship. It didn't matter. They had worked hard until now just to win the championship!

As the main point of attack, Hinrich did a really good job.

With solid shooting and sharp pick-and-rolls, with Garnett assisting, Ben Gordon controlling, and Chandler taking the cake, the Trail Blazers couldn't think of a good defensive strategy for a while.

However, Maurice Cheeks discovered that Hinrich was not very good at defending Liu Xiu's counterattack when he was mainly attacking.

If you can’t defend yourself, then go crazy!

The more Bulls score, the more points they get!

Liu Xiu turned on the defensive counterattack mode!

After scoring 12 points in the first quarter, Hinrich made 6 of 9 shots in the second quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 16 points in a single quarter and 28 points in the half. This was the first time in his career that he scored 16 points in a single quarter and 28 points in the half.

The three highest scores in a single playoff game only took half a quarter.

Under his leadership, the Bulls scored 30 points in a single quarter!

But on the other side, Liu Xiu made 5 of 8 shots, plus 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in a single quarter. He helped Ray Allen make 3 of 3 three-pointers on the fast break, leading the Trail Blazers in a single quarter.

Scored 39 points in the quarter!

63 to 58, the Trail Blazers went into halftime leading the Bulls by 5 points!
Chapter completed!
