Chapter 732 732. The Miracle Reappears!
Losing this 1 point in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers players are very painful.
With 3 seconds left, the Trail Blazers actually overtook the Pistons by 1 point 75 to 74.
But hell, Billups caught the ball from the three-point line and dribbled two steps to the middle circle and threw it directly, and he actually scored!
The referee watched the replay. When the ball left Billups’s hands, there was still 0.2 seconds left. The ball was counted, and the Pistons ended the third quarter with a 77-75 lead by two points.
The ball failed to hit the morale of the Trail Blazers, and the teammates followed Liu Xiu to ‘bah’ and stepped on **** luck on the opposite side.
Of course, the performance of the three major stars of the Pistons in the third quarter still put great pressure on the players of the Trail Blazers.
The buzzer hit a three-pointer, Billups scored 9 points in a single quarter, got 9 points and 3 assists, Yao Ming scored 8 points and 2 rebounds, Carter scored 5 points.
The Trail Blazers players are very clear that the coaches have been emphasizing during the intermission and timeout that they can play back and forth with the Pistons tonight, relying on rebounds and hard work!
Soon the fourth quarter began, and Liu Xiu still played as he wanted, and hit the iron when he hit the iron. Anyway, he shot when he felt the opportunity came, and passed when he was flanked.
The same as the first three quarters, the Pistons didn’t stop defending him because he was playing iron, and they had to defend how to defend.
With 76 points in a single game and the deterrent power of scoring 12 points in a row at the start of G1 in the finals, Liu Xiu enjoyed the benefits this time!
Liu Xiu’s performance of 3 of 9 shots in the final quarter was not bad. In addition to 2 of 3 free throws, he only scored 8 points. The score was lower than the number of shots…but there were still 2 rebounds and 5 assists!
Ray Allen scored 9 points in the final quarter after scoring 11 points in the third quarter.
The two joined hands to lead the Trail Blazers to 28 points in the final quarter.
At the same time, the Trail Blazers team worked together to limit the Pistons to 26 points in the final quarter!
With two seconds left in the regular time, Billups got another chance to catch and shoot the ball in the half court. He turned around and threw it after receiving the ball. There was no timeout, but luck can’t be so good every time. This time he made a three-no Dip…
Liu Xiu made 14 of 37 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 37 points, 9 rebounds, 13 assists and 5 steals. In addition, Ray Allen scored 34 points on 11 of 24 shots. The two scored 71 points with 56 rebounds in 48 minutes of the team. They tied the Pistons 103-103 in regular time and entered overtime!
…
Billups’ half-time three-pointer went out of bounds, and Ray Allen looked at his data on the big screen, and he felt crazy, really crazy.
The rhythm of the game tonight was not right. When he found that the hand feeling was not good, he was ready to reduce his shots and run more towards the containment point instead of finding mobile opportunities.
It seems to be “shoot when it is time to shoot without being affected by the quality of the hand”, but in fact there is still a choice. It becomes that he does not refuse or hesitate when he needs to shoot, but he does not take the initiative to ask for the ball.
But Liu Xiu told him that he had to shoot tonight, and he had to shoot crazily. If he grabs the offensive rebound so well, he won’t lose money…
He originally refused, but seeing Liu Xiu’s crazy throwing, he couldn’t bear it anymore, and then threw a 4 of 12 in the half… In the second half, he smashed the jar, unexpectedly, he really felt the throwing, the halftime Get 20 points.
Liu Xiu had 9 assists in the second half, 5 of which were made by his three-point leader!
Looking at Liu Xiu who was just one rebound away from a triple-double, and was about to play overtime… He felt that the FMVP competition this time seemed impossible.
Liu Xiu didn’t hinder him from competing, like tonight, she kept encouraging him to shoot more, kept feeding him the ball, and helping him find his hand…
To be touched, for Ray Allen, it is just a momentary thing. After he calms down, he is not going to change his style of play, and he will not change his style of play, because his current style of play is effective. It is beneficial to Liu Xiu and the whole team.
After a while, overtime began.
When it came to overtime, the Trail Blazers were full of momentum and full of confidence!
Because they have a warden!
Others only need to be responsible for the defense, everything in overtime is handed over to the warden!
Under the defense of the Trail Blazers, the Pistons made 5 successful shots in overtime and only scored 1 goal, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 6 points. These 6 points were all scored by Carter. At this time, the Pistons The team can only point to Carter.
But Liu Xiu scored 8 points by counterattacking 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws! He also sent a three-point assist to Ray Allen and a pie to Randolph in the positional battle.
In overtime, the Trail Blazers scored 13 to 6!
With Liu Xiu making 17 of 42 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 45 points, 11 rebounds, 15 assists and 6 steals, plus Ray Allen’s 37 points, the Trail Blazers Narrowly defeated the Pistons 116 to 109, making the big score 3 to 1!
The moment the final whistle sounded, the coaches and teammates all rushed towards Liu Xiu.
The finals are not over yet, and they didn’t “consider which finger to wear the second championship ring on”, even though the opponent is the Pistons, leading 3 to 1, at this moment, they should think about it this way.
The reason for their excitement, on the one hand, is because they won the game with difficulty and got the match point.
But more importantly, Liu Xiu’s 40+ triple-double!
After a lapse of one year, they once again saw Liu Xiu get a 40+ triple-double, and it was the finals again!
On the other side, the Pistons players looked at Liu Xiu’s statistics, looked at Liu Xiu’s number of shots, and thought of Liu Xiu’s style of play tonight… collectively cursing!
…
In the early morning, Liu Xiucai went back to the hotel room and lay down.
Once again he got a 40+ triple-double in the finals. He was really surprised. Whether it was 40 points or a triple-double, it was unexpected.
He kept shooting because the team really needed more shots tonight.
However, there is still a big difference between when you say “guts” and when you do it.
This is the finals. Raheem and the outlaw lunatics don’t dare to shoot if they can’t shoot correctly. Even veteran players like Payton are the same.
Playing the Finals against the Pistons is just like playing against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. The further you go, the greater the physical exertion and the worse the hand feeling…a vicious circle.
So he has to shoot, and he has to let Ray Allen, who has sufficient physical reserves and the best physical energy distribution ability in the team, to shoot more.
As a result, the shots were 40+. With Ray Allen contributing 7 assists, he had a triple-double…
Thanks to the rebounds from the insiders!
Tonight they got 62 rebounds, 20 more than their opponents!
He took out his computer and checked the battle reports of the first three games. In terms of rebounds, the Trail Blazers did have the advantage. With Yao Ming, the Pistons finally became top-notch in rebounds. When Ben Wallace won the rebounding title, the Pistons The average rebound difference and long-term net loss are far behind their Trail Blazers, which averaged the league’s first rebounds this season.
But the total number of rebounds they won in the first 3 games was only 16. This game tonight is more than the previous 3 games combined.
It was a fluke to win, and a 40+ triple-double is also lucky!
