   Chapter 223 223. Demon Sword VS Demon Sword? (The 1st more ask for a monthly pass)

   Liu Xiu smashed the ball into the basket and stepped back two steps. Randolph excitedly rushed to hug Liu Xiu.

   He thought that Liu Xiu's layup would be the end of the matter, and he was worried that Duncan, who was too quick, would take his cap off.

   I didn’t expect it to be deducted!

  Empty baskets for counterattacks are not yet deducted, but there is a super frame guard in front of him who actually deducted!

  Wait, it seems that Shaquille O'Neal, Yao Ming...he also buckled.

   Oh my god…

   The fans on the scene were also shocked, pleasantly surprised!

   They also thought that Liu Xiu would finish the basket, but they saw Duncan!

  Although it is not uncommon to dunk Duncan, this moment is too important for their team.

   Fighting spirit is rekindled!

   Confidence is steady!

  46 to 51, in such a **** battle, the difference is still not small.

The   man Spurs had a clear initiative from the beginning, and they have been in the lead all the time. It took two and a half quarters to lead by 9 points. It is not easy to overtake the score.

but!

   Blazers players, fans have renewed hope and confidence - we're not as strong as Duncan, but we have the most talented rookie general, Warden Jayce!

   A layup or a dunk, a seemingly simple choice, has a completely different impact.

   When the Spurs attacked, Duncan went to the frontcourt and then leaned on Randolph for the ball at close range!

  The coach didn't arrange it like this, but due to the evil demon king's arrogance, Parker passed it on without hesitation.

   Duncan singles against Randolph, and he can't hit him, but it's just a fake action. Randolph lowers his center of gravity, Duncan turns around quickly, and his flexibility is no less than Randolph's. Randolph can't keep up with his center of gravity.

  Duncan easily got rid of Randolph's decent defense and came to the right sideline of the three-second zone.

  Duncan's heart ignited with pride.

People have forgotten that when he confirmed his candidacy, he was said to have the height and wingspan of Marcus Camby, the running and jumping ability of Rasheed Wallace, the brain of Grant Hill, With all-around technology like Chris Webber... Deluxe Edition Big Dream!

   He is a devil flying in the sky to play..."Pop"... Duncan's pride was awakened by the crisp sound of blocking.

   was capped!

  Duncan nearly fell when he lost his balance and landed.

   Antonio McDyess!

  This hat is clean and beautiful!

  Randolph grabbed the ball and passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiuqi counterattacked and was fouled by Parker.

   Has not been able to surpass the opponent's position, common tactical fouls, good defensive options.

   Although Parker's single defense is not good, his overall defensive awareness is excellent. He has done a good job in tactical fouls, and continues to suppress the rhythm on the field.

   Tossed the ball to the referee, Liu Xiu took the lead and gave McDyess a high five.

  The teammates followed up and gave McDyess a high five to celebrate the block just now.

  McDyce was excited, and his sense of responsibility became heavier and heavier.

On the other side, as the Spurs ran back to the backcourt, Popovich roared on the sidelines, and Duncan calmed down again.

   To get Duncan out of the top state, it's that simple.

  The Blazers continued to attack, and Liu Xiu really felt the difference in the state of the 'Demon Sword' and continued to play singles.

   Taking advantage of the opponent's perimeter defense strategy and his own attacking frame threat, Liu Xiu broke through to a close range and successfully attracted a pinch attack!

   He had already noticed the opponent's defensive adjustment before he launched the attack. He felt that it was difficult to score under the iron wall of the opponent's main defense target, and he chose to take the initiative to fall into the pinch.

   Scoring Reuben Patterson!

  The tactics played very well, but unfortunately we didn't make it.

  The Spurs’ defense is not easy. Although the Trail Blazers are on the rise, it is difficult to completely narrow the points difference for a while.

  Randolph tapped his chest towards his teammates when he was retreating, saying that it was his fault for not grabbing the offensive rebound.

   When the fight is good, the warden praises it, and when the fight is bad, the butcher takes the initiative to take the blame, and cooperates quite tacitly.

   Next, the two sides stalemate for a while, each got 4 points.

   At 10:08 of the third quarter, the score was 55-50. The Spurs continued to maintain a 5-point lead and held the ball.

   The strength of the Spurs is really strong. The situation just now was a bit like the game the Blazers played against the Celtics. Liu Xiu entered the "demon knife" state, which has broken the balance on the court, and the Blazers are still gaining momentum.

   But Duncan's absolute stability suppressed the momentum of the Blazers.

   Parker's big throw and Duncan's left-handed hook that turned right and turned back, also competed on the offensive end.

   Driven by morale, the Blazers played so well, but they were still held by the opponent. Fox Sports commentators were lamenting that the Spurs were too strong and Duncan was too fierce.

   However, on the court, it was not the Blazers who couldn't sit still first, but Popovich!

  Popovich gestured to Ginobili on the sidelines!

   Manu Ginobili came to the front court to catch the ball and attack.

  The Blazers Players The Blazers players, who had just been hit head-on by the stability of Duncan's leadership, were immediately refreshed.

coming!

   One of the situations that was prepared when preparing for the battle - the stage where Ginobili was arranged for the main attack, appeared!

   Although it may not appear, for example, if they did not have Liu Xiu and Duncan to boost morale, they would not have survived this stage, but the Blazers are ready for this.

   is waiting now, which means that the turning point may come!

   The X Factor of a Robust Spurs - Manu Ginobili!

  Manu Ginobili singles Ruben Patterson, Ruben Patterson defended hard.

   Manu Ginobili, as the main attack point, his teammates didn't know what attacking options he would make, and his opponents couldn't even think of it.

   Manu Ginobili at this moment is like a No. 8 player who doesn't want to reveal his sexuality.

   There is no difficulty in creating difficulty!

   Breakthrough in singles + emergency stop to collect the ball + quick shot and retreat after receiving the ball... If the referee's eyes were not sharp, the whistle would have almost sounded.

   It's so much like walking!

   Ruben Patterson was shaken!

   At this moment, Ginobili seems to be possessed by the souls of Iverson and Tim Hardaway!

   Ginobili made a three-pointer shot from the left side of the top arc after taking a step back…

   is not in the rhythm at all!

   This is also the reason why Ruben Patterson couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was knocked over.

   However, amid the horrified shouts and boos of the fans on the scene, Ginobili's such a beautiful singles feinted a three-pointer and made a three-point shot!

  Duncan, Randolph, Liu Xiu, McDyess, Malik Rose and other players: "…"

That's it?

   Watching a breakthrough that is even more flamboyant than Tim Hardaway, the result is this?

   The boos of the fans at the scene also stopped abruptly, and then burst into laughter!

  Liu Xiu thought of a sentence—one operation is like a tiger...

   Ruben Patterson, who got up, had a complicated mood, and the humiliating anger was gone. He didn't know whether he was more humiliating or the Argentine defender on the opposite side was more humiliating.

  The referee is professional, signalling the game to continue.

   Popovich started roaring from the sidelines again, stimulating the enthusiasm of the players.

   The effect is very good, Duncan's enthusiasm is very good, and the teammates listen to Duncan's words again. If you don't listen, you will move your head. Are you afraid?

  Although Duncan was very friendly, his teammates just thought it was a dangerous move.

  Although there is no evidence, some things do not require evidence.

   However, the Spurs defended very well. Next, the Blazers only relied on Liu Xiu to make two free throws for fouls and scored two points, but the Spurs also only relied on Malik Rose to rush for a tip-up and scored two points.

   With 11 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs touched the ball out of bounds and the Trail Blazers made the final play.

   put on the little flying squirrel, and the little flying squirrel received a pass from Liu Xiu, and made a three-pointer in danger!

   The referee confirms that the goal is valid!

   In the last two minutes of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers played a 5-2 by relying on the three-pointer received by Momo in the last 11 seconds.

  55 to 57, the Trail Blazers narrowed the difference to 2 points and entered the break!

  …

  This season, who is the team that has been overturned the most within 10 points leading into the final quarter?

   is the opponent Spurs in front of the Blazers!

   is not a probability, the probability is actually not high.

The main reason is that there are too many situations where the Spurs lead into the distal quarter, and their style of play is destined that they will rarely have that kind of game with a big lead, so they have been overturned more often in the distal quarter. This season, 8 games were overturned and lost in the distal quarter. , and they only lost 18 games in total.

   Not only this season, but also in their championship year last season. In the championship year, their regular-season margin of victory was only 5.4 points.

   After three quarters, the Spurs did not allow the Spurs to widen the point difference to more than 10 points, and even narrowed the point difference to two points.

  The morale of the Blazers players has reached its peak! It is even more vigorous than after Liu Xiu led the team with 2 points and 2 assists at the last moment of the first quarter to narrow the point difference!

   The fans at the scene also cheered wildly regardless of how their voices will be tomorrow.

  Tomorrow, the price of Portland anti-inflammatory drugs will inevitably rise...

  Are the Blazers players sure they have the ability to come back? Are the fans so confident?

   Actually not.

   They just have the momentum of a young team!

   Although their trade this season has been underrated.

But look at now, they have Randolph, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Harrington, Miles and others as the main force in rotation, and Momonga is also a man who beats the waves. All the players whose hearts were dying were brought back to life!

   Young players are not afraid to lose.

  Raheem, McDyess and other players who have been losing can also endure losing.

   Losing words is inevitable for anyone.

   But sweating towards victory, no one can stop him.

   The inter-season break ends soon, and the final game begins.

   Blazers lineup: Momo, Liu Xiu, Miles, Raheem, Spantania.

   Spurs lineup: Parker, Bowen, Turkoglu, Duncan, Nesterovic.

  The Trail Blazers attacked, and the Mumbai squirrel + warden's sudden and auxiliary control play started.

   Bowen's stick ability is one of the best in the league. Liu Xiu didn't get rid of the defense when he came out of the pile, and he was stuck when he received the ball.

   Bowen could keep up with Liu Xiu, but his strength couldn't stand it. Liu Xiu came to the close range and made a shot... Still interrupted by Bowen.

   One defense boss is amazing!

   Liu Xiu misses the throw…

  Myers made up for the dunk!

   So positive!

  57 to 57.

  Myers' dunk tied the score! The prelude to the final battle has begun!
