67. Auburn Hills Rose Garden Event!(1/2)
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead.
Liu Xiu received the serve...with some surprise. He advanced close to the opposite three-point line before encountering Hamilton's defense.
Just before the break, in the last attack, Billups was pressing in the half court. If it was Hamilton, a physical freak, shouldn't he be guarded tighter and try to steal?
Liu Xiu passed the ball to the little flying squirrel and ran inside.
The Trail Blazers launched an attack and opened up space. Rasheed Wallace went to the right sideline, Liu Xiu cut in from the middle, Randolph was on the left side of the three-second zone, and Ruben Patterson was ready in the middle distance on the left side.
Lift it to a higher position.
The little flying squirrel was very satisfied with this treatment.
Put aside all the grudges and grudges, now, he is the most handsome kid on the field!
Facing Billups' tight defense, the little flying squirrel didn't think about anything else at all and only had eyes for the basket!
It started to show off as soon as it came up. The little flying squirrel's fake breakthrough turned into a real breakthrough. He suddenly took off one step inside the free throw line and threw the ball... a big throw hit!
Fierce cheers erupted from the scene!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this kind of little flying squirrel. Last season, the little flying squirrel was plagued by injuries and performed poorly. This year’s preseason performance was not good either. People thought they would never see such a free and unrestrained little flying squirrel again.
Unexpectedly, the little flying squirrel drove low and went high tonight!
Just shoot! Organize offense? No! Don’t consider it at all!
Unlike at the beginning of the game when there were more tasks assigned, now the Flying Squirrel only has two things to do offensively - respond at the best three-point shooting spot when there is no ball; and put the damn ball into the basket when holding the ball.
Now with his style of play and his ability, it is very difficult to take into account both organizing offense and scoring, unless he is in extreme condition.
But he is only responsible for scoring. All the efforts of his teammates are to help him score. He can do it!
And he is getting better and better tonight, and now even the Pistons can't stop him!
57 to 56, the Trail Blazers overtook the Pistons by 1 point!
When the Pistons attacked, Billups advanced to the frontcourt at high speed and then dribbled the ball outside the three-point line.
The fans at the scene booed quickly. Billups played for a very long time tonight. It was not the Pistons fans who were really upset.
Suddenly, Billups collected the ball, took off, and shot a three-pointer...
Billups wanted to catch him off guard, but!
Liu Xiu hit the ball immediately. Billups collected the ball and took off, but it did not have the effect of a surprise attack. His jump was affected by the confrontation, and his shooting power was also affected. He missed the three-pointer!
This ball was obviously made by Billups independently. Even the Pistons insiders did not react. The ball hit the edge of the basket and bounced back toward the top arc. The ball flew quickly over Ben Wallace's head.
When Ben Wallace reacted and reached out, Liu Xiu had already grabbed the ball in one step inside the top arc... Billups didn't expect Liu Xiu's concentration to be so high! So many rounds had pressed for time before, and now it's here.
Even now, Liu Xiu can still react immediately!
The little flying squirrel reacts extremely quickly, starts quickly, and strikes back!
Liu Xiu pinched the spot and released the ball. The little flying squirrel received the ball when it was close to the three-point line. Billups tried hard to retreat. However, when he rushed back to his top arc, the little flying squirrel had already completed the ball and took off in one step.
A series of actions for pursuing three-point shots...
In!
60 to 56, the Trail Blazers lead the Pistons by 4 points!
This goal completely ignited the Trail Blazers' confidence!
After scoring the goal, the little flying squirrel ran back to the backcourt like crazy and celebrated with Liu Xiu, Reuben Patterson, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace by high-fiving or bumping their chests one by one.
At this moment, from Little Flying Squirrel to Liu Xiu to Randolph to Reuben Patterson... no one cares about their off-court relationships. They all have only one thought - kill the opponent! Win the opening game!
When the Pistons attacked, Billups advanced beyond the three-point line and encountered Liu Xiu's defense.
Although his defensive ability is not good, Liu Xiuzhen is good in terms of awareness. He knows that if the opponent's touch is cold, he must defend harder and harder to prevent the opponent from regaining the feeling of the game.
But what surprised Liu Xiu was that Billups seemed very impatient!
Not only that, Hamilton is also very impatient!
Liu Xiu heard Hamilton's call for the ball from behind!
Billups wanted to pass the ball, but as soon as he grabbed the ball, Liu Xiu pressed closer.
In the era when defense was possible, confrontation was raised to the extreme. In the final quarter, Liu Xiu was not afraid of being called for a foul... and if he was called, he would be called.
Unexpectedly, this actually blocked Billups from catching the ball. Billups grabbed the ball and was about to pass it when he was caught by Liu Xiu. He subconsciously leaned over, held the ball with both hands and placed it on the right side of his waist to protect it.
!
The Trail Blazers players are now in a state of high excitement and react very quickly, adjusting their positions immediately upon seeing the situation.
Randolph squatted under the basket.
Rasheed Wallace and Reuben Patterson moved to both sides of the free throw line to cover the wings at any time, or even directly steal the ball that might occur from the wings.
The little flying squirrel quickly jumped to the top arc and flanked Billups with Liu Xiu!
Billups can't move or dribble. As for passing the ball, the Trail Blazers' defense is not bad. It's a top-notch defense. He can only choose to force the shot... "Pop"... the little flying squirrel hits the ball!
Billups reacted quickly and hugged Liu Xiu directly. The ball was swatted away by the little flying squirrel and no one was in control. The referee blew the whistle and it was determined that it was not a physical foul. The Trail Blazers had the ball in the backcourt.
Billups did the right thing when he committed the tactical foul, but he looked annoyed when he returned.
The little flying squirrel went out of bounds to wait for the serve. Liu Xiu was the one who received the serve. While waiting, he asked: "They seem to be panicking?"
Finally spoke! The little flying squirrel is resentful...
"Healing value +99, from Damon Stoudemire."
This increase in healing value shocked Liu Xiu!
But the ice was broken, and the little flying squirrel immediately regained his complacency and responded: "Of course, if we score one more goal, we can defeat them!"
The tone of taking it as a matter of course made Liu Xiu a little confused. These were the Pistons' Five Tigers, the king of civilian basketball, the light of leadership, and the strongest point guard in the forum... Chauncey Billups!
'Is it because I haven't won a championship yet and don't have that kind of confidence and composure?'
The referee's whistle blew, and the ball was given to the little flying squirrel, who passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu immediately regained his concentration as soon as the whistle blew and advanced with the ball.
Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to the little flying squirrel, and then cut in from the middle.
The little flying squirrel is now like a fish in water. He is very suitable for playing like this, and naturally puts huge pressure on the Pistons.
When Liu Xiu cut in, he clearly felt that the Pistons were different from the previous team - impatient!
Liu Xiu now believed what Little Flying Squirrel said - score one more goal and defeat the Pistons!
The little flying squirrel beat Billups in isolation from beyond the three-point line. In terms of scoring methods, the little flying squirrel is really comprehensive. From outside the three-point line to the basket, he can shoot from every position.
The little flying squirrel made a feint, Billups pressed forward, and the little flying squirrel took the opportunity to break through!
You can imagine how nervous Billups was after taking the bait with such a simple fake move.
This is the epitome of the Pistons!
Before the little flying squirrel broke into the free throw line, Ben Wallace came forward in a hurry.
Pass the ball?
No!
The passing button of the little flying squirrel is broken, he comes here to score!
The moment he burst in and saw Ben Wallace pressing up, he made a decision, pressed his fingertips on the bouncing ball, and ducked to the left... hitting the ground and passing the ball, passing through the crotch!
Nice one versus two!
Maybe it was too impulsive, but if the little flying squirrel definitely can't pass the ball, then there is nothing wrong with Ben Wallace rushing to cover the ball.
Rebrasha, who is under the basket as a European center, naturally has a good sense of defensive coordination. When the defensive core Ben Wallace moves, he moves with him to coordinate the defense.
This time the little flying squirrel broke through, attracting the attack of three people... and threw the ball!
Liu Xiu!
Liu Xiu got behind Rebrasha and took off, holding the ball in the air...Hamilton, who was chasing him, got anxious and pushed Liu Xiu on the back of Liu Xiu, who was taking off. Liu Xiu was immediately overturned.
But a beat later, Liu Xiu couldn't stop Liu Xiu from holding the ball. Liu Xiu and the flying squirrel completed the connection and hit an alley-oop layup!
The referee's whistle blows, Liu Xiu's goal is valid, and there will be an additional penalty!
Liu Xiu, who was pushed to the ground, had no problem. Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu slapped the floor and jumped up, causing the fans at the scene to exclaim again. Both male and female fans were red-eyed - what a great waist.
!
Little Flying Squirrel excitedly rushed up and bumped chests with Liu Xiu to celebrate, which made him extremely proud.
62 to 56, the point difference has reached 6 points. If Liu Xiu hits the extra free throw, the point difference will reach 7 points, then it is possible to open the point difference to 10 points in one round!
Among the players on the court of the Trail Blazers, others are either aloof, reserved, or not expressive... Last season was terrible for the whole season, and the little flying squirrel who continued to be suppressed in the preseason this season was completely released tonight, laughing.
That's called a devilish madman... If not, something will happen!
Rebrasha, an Eastern European center with a bad temper, had just been teased. The opponent's point guard was so arrogant... When the little flying squirrel finished celebrating and wanted to run to the outside, Rebrasha hit the little flying squirrel on the head with his arm.
The little flying squirrel staggered!
To be continued...
