Chapter 862: 862. Beautiful ending!
Chapter 862 862. Beautiful ending!
They were suppressed by the Trail Blazers in the opening stage... This was just as Nash expected.
Although their overall performance is better than that of the Trail Blazers this season, they lose more in direct games than they win.
But this time Liu Xiu's style of play was very different from before.
Previously, Liu Xiu was the first to charge and carry the team alone. The rest of the Trail Blazers slowly entered the state under Liu Xiu's protection.
This time, Liu Xiu can enjoy the help brought to him by the strength of his teammates as he did in the previous three seasons!
A warden in such a playing environment is at his strongest.
Nash, who has performed at the peak of his career this year, feels like he is on fire!
If the Trail Blazers are really finished for this season as those media said, and they only rely on Liu Xiu alone to support their record in the regular season... then Nash will be very sorry.
He can feel that this season he has reached the peak of his overall performance. He also has a strong heart and is eager to play against the strongest opponents at this time.
In the second quarter, Nash used accurate long-range shots and sharp passes to tear apart the Trail Blazers' defense, and led the team to give the Trail Blazers 33 points in a single quarter!
The 8-man rotation is a big hidden danger for the Suns. Once someone is injured, it will have a great impact on the overall strength.
But it has huge advantages in terms of offensive continuity and burst probability.
The Trail Blazers' offense declined slightly in this quarter, scoring 29 points.
63 to 61, the Trail Blazers entered the second half with a slight lead.
In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took the initiative to increase their intensity and stopped confronting the Suns on defense. In the first half of the quarter, they beat the Suns 13 to 9!
The defense was very successful this time. The outlaws made great contributions. Nash was prevented from all three singles. He and Kwame Brown also did an excellent job in preventing the pick-and-roll.
However, now that the Suns are facing this kind of thing, they are no longer as helpless as they were in the past two years.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Suns sent out a combination of Nash, Raja Bell, James Jones, Marion, and Kurt Thomas to prevent the Trail Blazers from scoring only 10 points in the half!
The defense of this lineup of the Suns is mainly rough, with big moves and strong confrontation.
Most of the time in the regular season it was difficult because the coordination skills were poor and the focus was more on intensity and the foul rate was extremely high.
But by the end of the season, the Suns' defensive performance improved a lot! By the playoffs, intensity was no longer an issue.
For the Suns, defending means scoring! The counterattack begins!
Under the leadership of Kurt Thomas, the Suns scored a 15-11 half-quarter score.
After three quarters, the two teams were tied 87 to 85, and the Trail Blazers still led by two points!
…
The Suns have become a real championship-level team!
In the original time and space, Liu Xiuchang saw people squeezing the Suns in the 2007 playoffs, but now he understands.
It's really awesome!
Normally, the Suns' overall performance in the third quarter was average. This is not a problem this year, it has been like this since the 2004-05 season.
We worked hard for half of the first half, and our physical strength was exhausted. During the intermission, we could not guarantee the continuity of our state. In the third quarter, when the opponents strengthened their defense, the Suns' positional warfare offense was bound to be affected, and they had no defense and could not prevent it.
The opponent was unable to counterattack...just like in the first half of the third quarter.
But now the Suns can play defense. When facing top teams, not to mention having an advantage in the third quarter, at least they have the ability not to fall behind!
Entering the break again, Liu Xiu emphasized the situation to his teammates, and the entire Trail Blazers team did not dare to be careless.
Sure enough, in the final quarter, the Suns, who had survived the third quarter, began to surge, starting 7-4 and leading the Trail Blazers by 1 point, 92-91!
Nash was about to go all out to widen the point difference, but Liu Xiu immediately responded with a powerful 2+1 from the basket, and the Trail Blazers regained the two-point lead.
Liu Xiu has always felt that it is not accurate to say that the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score. In the playoff defensive battle, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score. This is more in line with the actual situation.
In the third quarter, the two teams played excellent defense, and the confrontation has already begun!
After being scored three consecutive goals by the Suns from the outside, the Trail Blazers decisively strengthened their outside defense, leaving the basket to Kwame Brown, and the offensive end allowed Liu Xiu and Randolph to attack the frame wildly.
This failed to completely limit the Suns' offense, but Liu Xiu and Randolph's extremely aggressive offense at the basket made the Suns even more unable to guard against it.
After the official timeout came back, the Trail Blazers relied on several rounds of outside shooting performance to fluctuate, and played sharp counterattacks and positional battles inside to attract double-attack three-pointers. The super backcourt of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen fired at a rate of
The team beat the Suns to a 14-6 climax, widening the 3-point deficit at the official timeout to 11 points!
At this point, the Trail Blazers established the victory, and the Suns launched a counterattack, but were stifled by a three-pointer from Ray Allen, a tip-in by Randolph, and a dunk by Liu Xiu through the bully...
Liu Xiu scored 12 points in the first quarter, 10 points in the second quarter, 7 points in the third quarter, and 14 points in the fourth quarter. He made 14 of 26 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers. Plus 12 free throws, he scored 43 points.
He scored 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to beat the Suns 122-115 and win the final game!
…
"...the overall score is S-, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 900 healing value."
“Nice finish:
The host has led the team to win the final game of the regular season. Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: a random equipment, which was automatically drawn... Congratulations to the host for getting the equipment: Hamilton's Mask."
"against the wind:
Host score: 43 points, Amare Stoudemire score: 31 points; Host rebounds: 8, Shawn Marion rebounds: 11; Host assists: 5, Steve Nash assists
:13.
The mission has been completed, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 4000 healing points."
The task of Headwind only completed one goal. Before the game started, I thought it was 18,000, but after the game, it was only 4,000... But winning the game is so difficult, who still has the mind to brush up the data?
Moreover, he received the 15th S-level rating this season and the 30th time this season with 40+ points in a single game!
I have already scored 40+ points in a single game 29 times. I finally took the opportunity to complete this achievement against the Suns.
What makes him happiest is the new equipment he got!
Equipment in a position that has never been obtained before!
Full of anticipation, he issued the instruction to read the detailed description...
"Hamilton's mask: The host can wear it after a head injury. It will ignore the negative effects of the head injury and be protected during the game to avoid further head injuries."
Liu Xiu was silent. The equipment is good equipment, but there is a high probability that it will not be used!
When the reporter came, he put aside his entanglements and pretended to be cool... No, he was going to be interviewed.
On the other side, Nash, who regretted losing by 7 points, was about to explode, but he could only restrain himself and not show it, so as not to affect his teammates... Not to mention not getting 60 wins, he still had to face the Spurs in the second round.
Team!
Chapter completed!
