Healing Basketball Chapter 801

Chapter 801 801. Four pairs of miracles!

D'Antoni feels his team is being prey!

As long as they give them a chance, the warden will bite them hard.

He didn't like this feeling, so he chose to strengthen his offense!

Nash, who scored 10 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, was assigned the task of scoring mainly.

Nash felt that he should not be in a hurry, but seeing that Dior was sent together and the organization of the offense was guaranteed, he didn't say anything.

After the start of the second quarter, the Suns' offense was stronger than in the first quarter. They scored 20 points in the first half and scored 20 to 13 in the half quarter. They opened the score to 54 to 45 in one fell swoop, extending their lead to 9 points!

Nash scored 9 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, scored two mid-range shots, one three-pointer, and two free throws. His performance was a domineering one.

After all, it is the player with the highest score in a single game in the playoffs that is higher than the regular season.

However, when Nash's offensive end focuses on scoring, it will be more tiring than organizing the offense. After entering the official timeout, D'Antoni replaced Nash, let Dior play the point guard, and sent Barbosa, James Jones, Marion, Bully, guaranteed offense.

For the Trail Blazers, Blake, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Raheem, and McDyess were deployed.

Liu Xiu looked at the opposite lineup and was shocked, the opportunity finally came!

After the official timeout came back, Liu Xiu scored two goals in a row. After attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, he sent 3 assists in a row, plus a steal and counter-attack dunk... The Blazers quickly took the initiative.

In the next 4 minutes or so, the Suns played very well offensively, scoring 10 points and breaking through 30 points in a single quarter.

But during this period, the Trail Blazers scored 15 points!

60 to 64, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 4 points, stopped the Suns, and forced D'Antoni to replace Nash!

After Nash came on the court, he hit a long two-pointer to help the Suns stabilize their lead.

But Ray Allen immediately responded with a three-pointer, reducing the difference to 3 points! 63 to 66!

Immediately after Liu Xiu steals Barbosa in a one-on-one defense, Rahim catches Liu Xiu's ball in the counterattack and scores two points with a gliding dunk. The point difference is reduced to 1 point!

Thanks to Nash's three-pointer at the buzzer in the end, the Suns maintained a lead that could not be overtaken by one goal.

Nash scored 14 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in the second quarter, leading the team to 35 points in a single quarter. Liu Xiu led the team to 33 points in a single quarter with 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Suns led the Trail Blazers by 4 points 69 to 65!

After working hard for a quarter, the advantage created is only two points!

Nash, who played 19 minutes in the half and scored 24 points and 8 assists, felt more and more pressure.

At the beginning, he just felt that they could not relax, and if they relaxed, the opponent would catch up with the score.

But now, he feels that if they don't play hard, they will be overtaken immediately!

All of this is due to the guy opposite...

Halftime 26 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals!

For a while, Nash complained about D'Antoni's adjustments in the second quarter. If he hadn't played too hard in the first half, the second half would not have been so weak.

However, people have very different views on the same thing!

All D'Antoni wants is to win, the process doesn't matter, as long as he can win!

I'm a little tired. Their Phoenix Suns need this victory and need to defeat the two consecutive defending champions to further boost their confidence.

After D'Antoni's confident intermission 'speech', 7 of the Suns' 8 main rotation players were all high-spirited.

This is what D'Antoni wants!

Run and bomb is a fearless rush!

However, after returning from the intermission, the Suns' offensive performance has declined significantly compared to the previous two quarters.

It's been halftime, and the very targeted adjustments made by Bu Shuai during the halftime break have somewhat helped.

The Suns played too hard in the first half, and failed to enter the state immediately after returning from the intermission.

After playing three quarters, the Suns scored less than 30 points in a single quarter for the first time. Nash scored 8 points and 2 assists. He didn't play well in the first half of the quarter, but only got stronger in the second half. He scored in 8 minutes in the third quarter. With 4 points and 3 assists, Dior supported the offensive organization task in the first half of the quarter. The two joined hands to lead the team to score 28 points in a single quarter.

On the other side, for the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 26 points in the half, Ray Allen scored 14 points in the half, and Raheem scored 9 points in the half. Opportunity...and Confidence!

During the halftime break, the adjustments at the tactical level are based on the adjustment of the coach's defense.

Morris Cheeks' adjustment was very simple. He said a word to the team members—“The three of them, Warden, Ray, and Sharif, can compete with the Suns. If the others score more points, we will win!”

Throughout the third quarter, Liu Xiu only managed 3 shots, 1 of 3 shots, and 3 of 4 free throws, to get 5 points, but he still has 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block!

Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers team scored 32 points in a single quarter, 97 to 97, and the Trail Blazers tied the score at the end of the three quarters!

The Trail Blazers who tied the score were full of momentum, and the morale of the Suns players who were tied suffered a serious blow.

But at this time, instead of complaining about D'Antoni's 'mistakes' during the intermission, Nash actively encouraged his teammates to continue to rush!

When the score was really tied, Nash, who was hit hard, calmed down instead.

He thought back to the second and third quarters. The head coach seemed very stubborn and blind, but what could he come up with instead?

When he thought of this, his mind went blank.

But he believes that this is just a lack of experience. When he is a head coach in ten or twenty years, this kind of small problem is absolutely easy to solve.

Anyway, what he thinks now is that what the Suns rely on for survival is offense, and only offense.

With the instinct to retreat, this is very good, and it has brought a qualitative change to their strength.

but!

If there is no offense, their defense that brings a "qualitative change" to their strength is just ridiculous.

So, attack firmly! Everything else is just extra!

Soon, the fourth quarter began.

As Nash expected, their Suns' offense declined further.

He now understands that this is not caused by D'Antoni's tactical adjustments, but because the opponent has bitten too tightly from the beginning.

He felt lucky that Blake, who scored 8 points in the third quarter, and Stevenson, who scored 6 points, also missed their shots at the beginning of the final quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams scored 2 to 2 in 3 minutes. After the two teams scored a goal at the beginning, they failed to score in two minutes and fell into a stalemate.

It's the Suns' offense again. Nash misses a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll. It's iron!

Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound, landed and looked forward, and immediately gave instructions in her heart, and her body moved at the same time, starting a fast break!

Liu Xiu rushed to the opposite side like a bolt of lightning, Barbosa tried his best to chase and defend, but was thrown away by Liu Xiu!

A double-handed dunk, Liu Xiu broke the deadlock!

101 to 99, the Trail Blazers scored the first hundred points!

With 33 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, Liu Xiu is only 1 rebound away from a triple-double!

It was the Suns' offense again, but Nash still chose singles.

This time, Nash's shot also scored! Three points hit! 102 to 101, the Suns overtook the score!

Transitioning offense and defense, Liu Xiu hits Barbosa in singles, easily breaks into the middle distance, facing Marion's defense, Liu Xiu makes a jumper with an emergency stop...adding a fadeaway...Iron!

But Randolph squeezed away the bully and made a tip-up!

The defense of the Suns is still the same as in the third quarter. Liu Xiu's "Kobe time" can't be played again, but the opponent's defense is determined, and it will be easy to play.

In the following time, the Suns offense gradually found their sense, and scored another 6 points before the official timeout. After the official timeout came back, they continued their outstanding performance.

The game reached 11 minutes and 29 seconds in the fourth quarter, Nash made a two-pointer, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout!

Nash increased his scoring to 16 points in a single quarter, helping the Suns to score 122 to 121, overtaking the Trail Blazers by 1 point at the critical moment!

But after the timeout, the Suns players happily returned to the court, and immediately received a blowout.

Has not scored for 4 minutes, and Liu Xiu, who only scored 4 points 11 and a half minutes before the final quarter, took advantage of Ray Allen and Raheem to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer against Nash!

124 to 122, the Trail Blazers lead by two points!

The moment the ball fell into the basket, the cheers from the fans who had been holding back for several seconds erupted instantly!

Warden Hour!

In the last minute, the opponent overtook the score. At this time, the fans knew that the Warden was coming.

And the warden did not disappoint them!

When it came time for the Suns to attack, Nash called his teammates whose confidence had been hit to run quickly.

At this time, it should be called a timeout, but they have no timeout.

They really didn't think they'd get to the point where they ran out of timeouts.

Running out of timeouts means that they have been calling timeouts and making adjustments. If they can't beat this situation, it can only show one thing—their Suns' stars are not as good as those of the Trail Blazers.

That is, he is not as good as the warden... Nash absolutely does not admit this kind of thing!

He is the one who became the MVP earlier, and he is the only member of the 180 club so far this season!

Nash did not rush to attack after advancing to the frontcourt, but kept making psychological hints.

This is his experience as a veteran, and his psychological hint is very important.

Look at the number one parallel importer on the opposite side. Being scolded by God every day is equivalent to being hinted to be a parallel importer. It's really about time. Beside the warden, the butcher praises every day and the coach often encourages him.

With 6 seconds left in the attack time and 10 seconds left in the game, Nash started to move, and Stoudemire also tacitly moved to the top arc at this time to help Nash block the outlaws.

Liu Xiu made an instant judgment—at this time, if Nash was just shooting, the person who received the ball after the pass could only shoot immediately...

Make a decisive decision, Liu Xiu shrinks towards the center, when Nash uses the cover to break into the three-point line from the right, Liu Xiu rushes forward, and takes out the ball that Nash bounced off the floor!

The extrajudicial fanatic reacted sharply and snatched the ball at the first time, but did not immediately play the ball. Nash went around the former Liu Xiu and Xiaobawang to grab the extrajudicial fanatic.

Liu Xiu gave up catching the ball and ran directly to the frontcourt.

The outlaw lunatic successfully passed the ball, and it was Ray Allen who received the ball, and Ray Allen sent it out... This is a beautiful pass!

Liu Xiu received the ball when he was one step outside the three-point line on the opposite side.

After Nash stopped, his first reaction was to look left and right. Liu Xiu didn't charge...impossible! Nash turned his head to look to the right side of the top arc, just in time to see the adjusted Liu Xiu take off and shoot a three-pointer...

The state of 'Wheat Mang' continues, feeling hot...

'Sharp Shooter' trigger, catch and shoot, three-pointer +2…

Under Nash's unbelievable eyes, Liu Xiu shot the ball and plunged into the basket!

After the steal, Liu Xiu quickly chased down and hit a three-pointer. Liu Xiu prevented Nash from scoring 50 points, and at the same time increased his number of steals in a single quarter to 3 times... 10 steals in a single game!

The score was 127 to 122, with 3 seconds left, the Trail Blazers led by 5 points!

On the last attack, Nash received the ball in midfield, and the Trail Blazers had no one to defend. Nash passed the center circle and ran out of time to directly shoot a super long three-pointer...missed.

The final whistle sounded. Although Nash made 15 of 26 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws, he scored 48 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists, but still lost to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists, 10 steals and 2 blocks, leading the Trail Blazers to a 127-122 victory over the Suns, improving their record to 10 wins and 6 losses!

Get a quadruple double with 8 seconds left!
