Healing Basketball

  Chapter 793 793. The game was overwhelmed in one section!

  The referee signaled Liu Xiu to touch the ball out of bounds, and the Cavaliers played the ball in the frontcourt.

  The Cavaliers continued to attack, with 9 seconds left in the clock, James ran outside to catch the ball, and was stuck by Liu Xiu to prevent interference.

   James did not give up, turned around and ran inside, received the ball during the cut, but lost the sprint distance, entered the basket and was pinched by Liu Xiu and Millsap to stop the ball.

  Looking at the high position, there is no teammate to respond, James forced a throw...Iron!

  Millsap grabbed the defensive rebound, James rushed to grab the ball actively, Millsap protected the ball, and was not intercepted. After James backed away, he gave the ball to Liu Xiu.

   When Liu Xiu received the ball, he praised Millsap, "He did a good job protecting the ball."

   If the counterattack opportunity is gone, it will be gone. With Snow and Larry Hughes, it is difficult to rush for a fast break alone.

  Although James is not good at defense, he is not lacking in attitude and talent. There is nothing wrong with Millsap's steady choice.

   Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt to look at the defense on the opposite side, and then looked at his three teammates in the frontcourt. This offense is not easy to play!

No one in the Cavaliers asked James, a super genius who is not yet 22 years old, to practice defense. James himself has never suffered a real blood loss and has no motivation to practice defense. There is a reason. James entered the NBA at the age of 18. Now less than 22 years old, at this age, the offense has not yet been developed, so there is no time to strengthen the defense.

  The other is the defensive lineup of the Cavaliers. For the time being, James doesn’t need a good defense.

   Offense is not easy to play, it doesn't matter, defense is fine!

   Facing Larry Hughes' defense, Liu Xiu thought about it, raised her left hand and made an '8'.

   Larry Hughes has a flash of confusion—does the Trail Blazers have this tactical gesture?

  Thanks to his strong offensive reading ability and keen defensive sense, from Liu Xiu's small body movements, it can be seen that Liu Xiu is still playing pick and roll!

  The warden is so despicable!

  Larry Hughes moved quickly, not giving Liu Xiu a chance to sneak attack.

  Liu Xiu came to close range, leaped sideways and made a stride throw...Missed!

  Big Z protected the rebound, Liu Xiu clapped his hands and retreated quickly.

  The shot just now was already the best offensive line he found with the improvement of the defensive reading ability of "Prison Kill", but unfortunately, the stepping throw shot was a little bit close.

  During the retreat, Liu Xiu wondered if he would have time to learn this trick from Nash or Iverson. Parker is the strongest, but they and the Spurs have become sworn enemies...

  The Cavaliers started to attack, Liu Xiu put aside distracting thoughts, and devoted himself to the iron-blooded defensive battle with the tough frontcourt trio!

   In the next few rounds, Liu Xiu hit the iron soaringly, which was worse than he expected. He missed all 5 shots in the first half of the first quarter and scored no points.

   Fortunately, the teammates performed well. Ray Allen made a counter-attack layup, Kwame Brown made a dunk, Millsap had a catch and dunk, and the Trail Blazers scored 6 points in the half quarter.

   Only 6 points but still saying yes, because the Cavaliers only scored 6 points.

   James' 4 shots in half a quarter are also all-iron!

   Moreover, James performed worse than Liu Xiu, and there were two turnovers!

   James had 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers in the half quarter, and Liu Xiu had 0 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block in the half quarter.

  However, some people become iron, and they are always iron.

  After the official timeout came back, James took 4 more shots in the second half of the first quarter.

   James took 8 shots in a single quarter. There is really no way. The Trail Blazers did a very good defense.

   With Liu Xiu around, there is no need for mid-range delays to defend against James. Although Liu Xiu can't carry James hard like last season, he can slow down James' breakthrough speed and guide James' breakthrough direction.

  After the inside line cut off the pass, the Trail Blazers did a very good job.

   Throughout the first quarter, James made 1 of 8 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers.

   On the other side, Liu Xiu started with straight irons. Under the infinite siege of the opponent at the beginning, he hit 7 irons in a row, and once made 0 of 7 shots.

   But playing, when the big Z was replaced, and the inside twin towers became Donyell Marshall and Drew Gooden, Liu Xiu started to score!

   Liu threw in a breakthrough throw and then decisively issued an order... Although the 'Kobe Time' was not triggered, the confidence or paranoia of shooting was stronger.

Liu Xiu made 4 of 7 shots in the second half and scored 10 points in the half. Raheem, who came off the bench, also seized the opportunity to grab 3 offensive rebounds in the half and got 4 points and 1 assist. The assist was for Ray Allen Made a three-pointer.

   In half a quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 17 to 8.

  After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 9 points 23 to 14!

  …

  Liu Xiu has strong strength and good performance. The Cavaliers don't think there is anything from the coaching staff to the players.

   In the first 8 minutes, Liu Xiu was defended with 0-of-7 shots. Under the defensive formation built around Big Z and Larry Hughes, Liu Xiu wasted 8 minutes. At this time, it’s okay to replace Big Z and rest, right?

   At this time, Liu Xiu's touch should be almost exhausted, right?

   Taking over the next 4 minutes, Liu Xiu made 4 of 7 shots and scored 10 points, which is too much!

   In the second quarter, Big Z still had to rest at the beginning, and the Cavaliers were full of concerns about defense.

   Their fears became reality!

   In the second quarter, although the Blazers' offensive performance declined somewhat, not as good as the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, it improved a lot compared to the first half of the first quarter!

   Fortunately, James performed well in this quarter. Although he only scored 1 goal from 4 shots, he scored 6 free throws in 10 minutes, made 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 6 points and 3 assists in three quarters.

Damon Jones made 2 of 2 three-pointers in the half quarter, and scored 9 points with 3 of 4 free throws. Big Z, who played in the second half of the second quarter, made 2 of 4 mid-range shots in the half quarter, plus 2 of 4 free throws. 2 free throws for 6 points...

  The disadvantage of the Cavaliers in the second quarter did not continue to expand, but narrowed the difference by 1 point, beating the Trail Blazers 25 to 24 in a single quarter.

  But the TV commentators are saying that the Cavaliers have a lot of free throws in this quarter!

  The Cavaliers made 15 free throws in a single quarter, and scored 9 points in free throws alone.

  The Trail Blazers team only made 5 free throws in a single quarter, and only relied on free throws to score 4 points.

   After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 8 points 47 to 39!

The Cavaliers made more free throws in the second quarter, which is one reason for their high score, and there is another more important reason-when James rushes in and can cause fouls, the Trail Blazers shrink their defense tighter, and Damon Jones and Big Z catch up. The ball can be shot!

   In the third quarter, when the Cavaliers' outside shooting touch was exhausted by the Trail Blazers, the **** moment came...

  James made 2 of 8 shots in the third quarter, including 1 of 5 three-pointers. He played 9 minutes in a single quarter and scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 4 turnovers and no assists. These 5 points have already exceeded half of the Cavaliers' single quarter points!

  Liu Xiu played a full third quarter, scoring 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block...Leading the Trail Blazers to a single quarter score of 18 to 9!
