Chapter 975
If Liu Xiu knew what McGrady was thinking, she might have been speechless all night.
That will inevitably affect Liu Xiu's performance tonight. The Knicks may be able to quickly overtake the score and widen the gap. For the first time in team history, the Knicks beat Liu Xiu at home...
Although he started to complain again, after the holiday break, McGrady quickly accepted the reality and re-entered the game. After playing, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Xiu with a hot look.
He regained the feeling of fighting all the superstars in the league five or six years ago.
When I first saw Liu Xiu, McGrady didn’t like the casual look that was as casual as him, and she still didn’t like it now.
But he has always liked playing games with Liu Xiu and wanted to win!
Liu Xiu didn't know that McGrady had thought about so many outrageous things in just a few minutes, felt McGrady's fighting spirit, and also opened her eyes wide and looked at the other party without hiding her equally passionate fighting spirit.
Unlike the usual playing time between 38 and 45 minutes, tonight, if the score difference is not widened, Liu Xiu is ready to play the whole game.
The Knicks sent Nate Robinson, McGrady, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, and Jared Jeffries to the court.
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Blake, Liu Xiu, Korver, extrajudicial madman and McDyce.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks attacked first.
Little Potato was forced to thrust Blake, and after being hit by a pincer attack, David Lee passed the ball. The latter took the ball and turned around and hit the hook with his right hand.
As a left-handed general, David Lee's right-hand hook is also very powerful.
The backup defense was in place, but he couldn't defend it. Mike Dais played very actively on the offensive end. After helping Liu Xiu pick-and-roll, he pulled it to his good position, and took the ball and shot decisively... he entered!
Then Blake made a three-pointer on the wing and received the ball, Korver scored a three-pointer from the top arc, and the extramarital madman had a tip-in... After a few rounds, the defense emphasized by Knicks head coach Isaiah Thomas during the break between the quarters collapsed.
The Assassin's defensive strategy is to try to let go of a player of the Trail Blazers and move and attack Liu Xiu in advance.
However, the Trail Blazers players have a very good offensive awareness. After detecting the opponent's movements, they actively move towards the best response point. With the excellent feel tonight, they make good use of the Assassin's defensive strategy.
The Knicks players directly gave up the Assassin's defensive strategy, and relying on instinct defense is stronger than the Assassin's defensive strategy.
Fortunately, although the defensive end was tortured for a while, the Knicks continued to perform well on the offensive end.
McGrady scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the second quarter, leading the Knicks to score 33 points in a single quarter!
Liu Xiu scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the second quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to score 32 points in a single quarter.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Knicks by 2 points 68-66.
In the second quarter, it seemed that the game was going back and forth, but Liu Xiu was under pressure.
If there was no 10-5 wave sent by the Assassin at the beginning of the second quarter, the score would have been overtaken!
In the next 9 minutes, the score was 22 to 28!
Although the offensive state is good and the coaching staff reduces the defensive requirements to maintain offensive firepower, the impact of 4 games in 5 days on their Trail Blazers is still visible.
The start was fierce, and the shooting efficiency fluctuated greatly afterwards!
Liu Xiu was not confused about this situation. During the intermission, he took the initiative to communicate with the coaching team to adjust his playing style...
In the third quarter, the Knicks, which had been opened, continued their offensive firepower in the first half!
However, the Trail Blazers stopped the momentum of declining offensive firepower - Liu Xiu started the West Coast mode, shot wildly, and successfully shot 13 times in a single quarter!
On the Knicks, McGrady made 3 of 5 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, plus David Lee's 8 points, Big Q's 6 points, Fred Jones' 4 points, the weather seemed clear in the third quarter and the Sharks scored 8 points... The Knicks scored 34 points in a single quarter!
On the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 7 of 13 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter, and carried the team forward with his own strength!
If your teammates are less motivated to run, then stand still and wait for the ball to catch and shoot. Do the simplest running position. Be bold when passing the ball, and don’t be afraid of mistakes.
With this style of play, Blake scored 6 points and 6 assists in a single quarter!
Liu Xiu scored three goals, which was passed by Blake. Liu Xiu received 5 passes from Blake in the crowd. He didn't expect the Flash to be so bold... He deserves to be the boss who can beat the future first point guard.
Korver played an important role tonight, scoring two three-pointers in the third quarter and scoring 6 points, and the Birdman and the Extraordinary Madman each scored 2 points... The Trail Blazers scored 32 points in a combined 5 players!
After the third quarter, the Trail Blazers withstood the Knicks' counterattack. Although the lead was gone, they were at least not behind.
100 to 100, the Trail Blazers tied with the Knicks and entered the break!
…
40 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. The Warden scored this data in the third quarter and barely withstood the situation.
Morris Chicks blames himself a little and despises the Knicks too much!
But he felt that anyone who came would make the same choice - fight against the Kings and rest when playing against the Knicks, let Liu Xiu get rested.
Because Liu Xiu is the god of the holy land of basketball!
Look, Liu Xiu performed another god-level performance tonight.
but!
McGrady on the opposite side, with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in three quarters!
The Knicks' singles masters all withstood Liu Xiu's terrifying pressure under the leadership of McGrady and performed well.
Morris Chicks didn't expect that he would lose the battle against the Kings and Bucks, and the situation tonight was worrying.
In fact, the winner and loser of this game is not important. He can accept it even if he loses 3 games in 5 days and 4 games.
But Liu Xiu's "unbeaten myth" in the basketball holy land was shattered, and he even blamed himself for thinking about it.
Fortunately, the warden is in good condition...
In this case, Morris Chicks had a bold idea and decisively implemented it...
After returning from the break between the festival, the two teams rotated their teams to play.
The Knicks, Crawford, McGrady, Fred Jones, David Lee, and Eddie Curry's starting lineup are back on the court.
Liu Xiu watched McGrady continue to play for 32 minutes in the first three quarters... Beside Kidd, although McGrady degenerated a lot of abilities, she also learned a lot.
For example, the very forward-looking king's tactic - give up defense and put physical strength into the offensive end.
It’s okay to work efficiently for more than 40 minutes.
The rotation on the other side is very traditional, just to compete for strength. On my own... Liu Xiu looked at several teammates, and he felt that he underestimated the boldness of the sloppy coach.
The ones who played with him were Ray Allen, Korver, Hill, and Birdman!
The referee blew the whistle, and the fourth quarter started, and the Trail Blazers attacked first.
Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, King McGrady's tactics were further upgraded, and the matchup was eliminated, and Fred Jones was in the top arc.
Liu Xiu rushed to the right side of the top arc quickly, and began to slow down two meters away from the three-point line. When he reached the right side of the top arc, he directly pulled out a three-pointer and made a move...
Fred Jones pounced on it very actively, but he only rushed on it after seeing Liu Xiu jump, which did not interfere with the bold Liu Xiu at all.
Liu Xiu made a three-pointer!
Wave to the extreme!
Chapter completed!
