The sexy operation feels great for a while...

Just looking at Hinrich's 28 points at halftime, Scott Scales was really happy.

But the opponent is even more fierce!

Seeing that the momentum was not right, after returning from the halftime break, the Bulls switched back to their regular style of play, and Scott Scales became the mature and steady head coach again.

If the Bulls really want to play defense, the Trail Blazers can only follow.

Hinrich is also very capable, and he can adapt to such temporary adjustments.

Under the leadership of him and Garnett, the Bulls successfully limited the Trail Blazers to 24 points in the third quarter, but they only scored 22 points themselves.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 7 points!

However, the next development was different from what Scott Scales thought.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup in the final quarter was the combination of Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Outlaw, Millsap, and Kwame Brown...

In the final quarter, the Bulls successfully defended the Trail Blazers and only scored 16 points, but the Bulls were also defended by the Trail Blazers and only scored 18 points!

Liu Xiu made 8 of 21 shots and scored 25 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Randolph made 8 of 15 shots and scored 20 points and 11 rebounds. Kwame Brown had 15 points and 13 rebounds. Ray Allen had 19 points and 6 assists.

Madman 11 points...

Six players from the Trail Blazers scored in double figures, defeating the Bulls 103-98 and evening the score!

Hinrich scored a Bulls-high 38 points tonight, breaking his personal playoff scoring record of 34 points in the 2005 playoffs in his sophomore year.

But facts have proven once again that it is difficult for a player like him to score high points to win.

…

Another team is complaining about the schedule of the finals!

In the G4 post-game press conference, the Bulls head coach did not say anything about the game itself, but the 2-3-2 schedule arranged by the crazy diss league.

The Bulls have a better regular season record, but due to the 2-3-2 schedule, the two teams are now tied at 2-2. The Tianwangshan battle is played at the home court of the Trail Blazers, who have a worse record.

At 2-0, the world is invincible.

When it was 2 to 1, the advantage was mine.

It’s 2 to 2... How is the MMP League’s schedule arranged?

However, such complaints divert people's attention.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers are in full swing!

There is a two-day break between G4 and G5.

The next afternoon, Liu Xiu attended the team meeting.

They have no team training scheduled today... I heard from the staff at the Willamette Gardens training facility that the Bulls came to the training facility before lunch and had already started training in full swing in the afternoon.

Scott Scales is indeed a ‘mature and stable’ head coach on the surface.

Compared with this kind of head coach who looks very stable but gets angry from time to time and is easily impatient when things happen, Liu Xiu still prefers the straightforward type of Maurice Cheeks.

Maybe it's because Maurice Cheeks is his coach, so he has a preference...

But during the two days of rest, he took one day to rest without arranging any training and to recover his physical strength. This operation, he thinks, is a better arrangement for him who is playing in the finals for the third consecutive year.

Today's tactical meeting is about reviewing the first four games, and also raising some issues that the coaching staff failed to think of solutions or the solutions they thought of were not good, so that the players can think about them. There will be another meeting before the start of training tomorrow morning.

Of course, this thinking is not mandatory. Most players will not think about it and will focus on it. There are only a few people in the team.

The gap in tactical literacy among players is reflected in these details.

…

The two days of preparation time flew by, and on June 16th, the fifth match day of the finals arrived.

Liu Xiu is still in a state of not actively accepting information from the outside world.

How long such a choice can be made is difficult for him to predict. When smartphones appear, the situation will change.

At that time, a lot of information will come to you unsolicited.

And 99% of that information is junk information. If you don't see it, it will have no impact on your life at all... No, if you don't see it, life will be more enjoyable and there will be less unnecessary anxiety.

Therefore, except for the occasional pain in his balls, he enjoys his current 'quiet' living environment.

However, without accepting outside information, he can also learn about the direction of external public opinion from his teammates.

If nothing else, the media who said a few days ago that their dream of a dynasty was shattered began to praise them again.

In the evening, after finishing the warm-up and entering the court, Liu Xiu clearly felt that the fighting spirit and morale of his teammates were even stronger than in G1.

As a side with a worse record, after falling behind 0-2 at the beginning, the Battle of Tianwangshan after chasing the score to 2-2 was their biggest advantage in the 2-3-2 schedule.

If we don't seize this advantage, we go to the away game 2-3... Anyway, Liu Xiu is not very confident that it will be a tiebreaker.

The Buff of ‘Shenzhou VI’ is very good, but if you place your hopes on it, the pressure of this Buff will be too great.

It just raises two levels of three-pointers. He needs to rely on him to improve all-round performance around the raised three-pointers...

After entering the stadium, the hostility between the players of the two teams deepened. Even before the game started, the players of the two teams already felt like there was smoke.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' last home game of the Finals began.

The first quarter was... very ugly.

Liu Xiu made 1 of 4 shots, Ray Allen made 1 of 4 shots, and Randolph scored 5 points and 5 rebounds on 2 of 4 shots, the most points scored by the Trail Blazers in the first quarter.

But the Bulls' performance on the other side was similar.

Hinrich made 2 of 7, Garnett made 1 of 4...

Scott Skiles wanted to use Hinrich's Raptors to make another sneak attack. As the saying goes, they suffered a loss the day before yesterday. He bet that the opponent's gun had no bullets... No, he was betting that the Trail Blazers would not.

Prepare defense specifically for this purpose.

But he was wrong, and Bushai had predicted his prediction.

The score was 14-15 in the first quarter, with the Trail Blazers trailing the Bulls by 1 point.

In the second quarter, the two teams still continued the style of play in the first quarter.

With the experience of 4 games, the defense of both teams has improved to a point where fans of their own teams are in pain.

However, the clash of muscles, the merciless foul, the flying arms and pulls... all made the fans at the scene excited.

Even people like Garnett and Liu Xiujin who yelled and screamed at the mid-range shot made people who would normally think, "Is that the case?" now feel excited after seeing it.

Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Garnett, and Hinrich were severely limited in scoring. Both sides could only rely on the relatively stable scoring of Randolph and Ben Gordon to support the scene. It looked like another low performance.

Score game.

Rose Bay fans are ready for the 60-70 game.

But the X factor always comes so suddenly...

After the official timeout in the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks boldly replaced the little flying squirrel and let the little flying squirrel play Ben Gordon alone!

The Flying Squirrel lived up to the trust of his coach and teammates. He made 2 of 4 shots in the half, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 10 points in the half!
Chapter completed!
