Chapter 411 411. This is my territory! (5500 words added)

Relying on 5 points in the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, after the three quarters, Liu Xiu made 11 of 21 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 8 of 9 free throws, his personal score increased to 33 points.

Anthony failed to score a single goal in the final singles stage, and was tied by Liu Xiu for his personal score!

Entering the break, the atmosphere on the Trail Blazers bench was high.

The situation has been restored!

And it was not a single star who turned the situation around, but everyone working together to withstand Anthony's explosion and the impact of a group of ferocious Nuggets players!

Now, they really feel - the advantage is on me!

There is always a need for someone to pour cold water on. Payton said to his teammates: "Are you happy enough? We haven't won yet. If we lose in a while, you will cry."

Payton has been restraining his "nature". He has always been able to control it before, but as he works with his teammates longer and longer and gets to know each other better, many of his bad habits have gradually become apparent.

As he became more and more familiar with the situation, and tonight he faced the coach who coached him during his most glorious period, and the game was so intense, his 'nature' finally couldn't be suppressed, and he started to rant when he got excited, regardless of whether the opponent was a teammate.

If someone else had said these words, they would definitely arouse the resentment of his teammates.

But when Payton said this, although everyone had negative emotions, not many were disgusted!

Because he is Payton, the best defensive point guard in NBA history. Everyone in the basketball world knows how bad his mouth is.

If you do this once in a while, the effect will be immediate and everyone will be alert.

Only one person was cured.

The warden bit his hand and grabbed the cake: Hey! Someone is robbing business!

…

After returning from the break, the Trail Blazers continued to use the backcourt combination of Liu Xiu and Flying Squirrel, and the frontcourt combination of Outlaws, Randolph, and McDyess.

As expected by the Trail Blazers coaching staff, the Nuggets sent Boykins as the main point guard, and his four teammates were Bagner, Anthony, DeMarre Johnson, and Nene.

The energy displayed by the Nuggets players let Liu Xiu and others know that the opponent had not given up.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Nuggets attacked first.

Falling into a positional battle, Anthony caught the ball from the right side of the three-second zone and hit the Outlaw with his back. The Outlaw was ready to defend Anthony when he turned around and stepped back to shoot. McDyess was ready to defend Anthony when he turned around and broke through, but Anthony had two options.

Without making a choice, he bumped into the outlaw!

The outlaw maniac failed to hold on and was knocked back. Anthony turned left and shot a jumper...hit!

97 square meters!

A talented offensive player! Regardless of his physical condition after playing the first three quarters or the current state of the game, Anthony's choice to play from behind is not a bad choice.

Liu Xiu chatted with Payton for a few words before going on the court, and they happened to talk about how if Anthony was smart enough, he would choose to play from behind.

After the goal, the Nuggets retreated quickly. Not only their expressions, but also their actions declared to the Trail Blazers how much they wanted to win.

During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu quickly advanced to the frontcourt. This speed made the opposing Nuggets players very excited.

But after quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu slowed down and waited for his teammates in the frontcourt to get into position before passing the ball to the little flying squirrel.

Several healing value increase prompts made Liu Xiu happily run towards the bottom line and activate the auxiliary control mode.

The person who knows Liu Xiu best is my brother Dong, who gave him a healing value of 99. Only Anthony is sure that Liu Xiu is deliberately teasing their mentality.

Facing the Nuggets' quick rotation of defense, it was difficult for the Flying Squirrel's sudden points + Liu Xiufu's control play to create an opening. But at this time, the two were actually instigating a Princeton play, not to create openings, but to create mismatches!

When Liu Xiu came out to catch the ball in the top arc, the one guarding him became DeMar Johnson. Facing this determined and tenacious opponent, Liu Xiu showed the greatest respect and went all out in front of him.

Change of direction and breakthrough!

The breakthrough rhythm he learned from Kobe, the forward-changing skills he learned from Baron Davis, and the perfect combination he had always wanted when facing DeMar Johnson came to him!

Liu Xiu faked a move and then pulled it horizontally. DeMar Johnson jumped out in the opposite direction of Liu Xiu's horizontal pull as if he had discussed it. Liu Xiu retreated from the three-point line and shot a three-pointer from the right side of the arc... big

A gaping three-pointer!

In this quarter, Liu Xiu and Anthony faced each other from the beginning. The two new generation talented stars each scored a goal, which kicked off the final battle.

After Liu Xiu scored, Nene quickly picked up the ball and served, and the Nuggets started to speed up again!

rush!

Just rush!

This style of play that shows off one's physical fitness makes everyone on the Nuggets very excited.

When it comes to positional warfare, tonight, George Karl no longer has any illusions.

If he could, he would even want to go back before he laid out the tactics for the first quarter and give himself a kick to prevent himself from making such pre-match preparations.

McDyess led his teammates to retreat and called his teammates to pay attention to the defensive formation.

Anthony received the ball in the frontcourt, turned around, was flanked, and distributed the ball. Boykins received the return pass and took a three-point shot... but missed!

McDyess trapped Anthony, Liu Xiu defended the defensive rebound, and Bagner actively rushed to try to force Liu Xiu to pass the ball quickly, forcing the Trail Blazers to speed up the pace.

But Liu Xiu saw that Boykins and Nene had already run out of the three-point line, separated Bagner sideways, and steadily advanced with the ball.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt to pick and roll, McDyess came out to block Anthony, Liu Xiu used the screen... and threw a three-pointer from the right side of the top arc! DeMar Johnson didn't even react, and it was too late to pounce on the ball.

It flew over his head.

Hit again!

West Coast Rule - If you make one shot, you will have to make another shot in the same position if you have the chance!

103 to 97, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 6 points!

This shot shocked the Nuggets players. What kind of magical play is this? It's too much!

If Liu Xiu was a top shooter like Ray Allen and he shot like this after scoring a three-pointer, the Nuggets players wouldn't think there was anything wrong, but Liu Xiu is not the case! He is just a player with a pretty good three-point level.

It was Anthony who roared, "Serve the ball quickly, GOGOGO..." before the Nuggets players reacted and quickly speeded up.

As a user of the West Coast Power, Anthony actually likes to continue shooting in the same area after scoring a goal. He does not make more attempts until the iron is struck. He also knows that if he scores consecutively, it will bring great pressure to the opponent.

, Liu Xiu’s two consecutive three-pointers just now are the most extreme version of this style of play! He felt that the emotions of his teammates were obviously affected.

Anthony comes to the frontcourt and wants the ball for a single. The next attack must be made, otherwise it may collapse at the beginning of the final quarter.

He believes in himself more than a team attack with interspersed movements!

When Anthony was playing in singles, the attack came very quickly, but he still chose to believe in himself and faced the attack and shot a close throw...

Confidence is a good thing, but this time Anthony's confidence was too blind and he failed!

But Nene made a back-up dunk through the lawless maniac and smashed the ball into the basket!

It's not just the warden who has helpers! The bandit leader also has double magazines!

99 to 103, the Nuggets clenched the score!

In addition to keeping the score tight, Nene's violent catch-up dunk also greatly boosted the morale of his teammates!

The Nuggets used this to stabilize their mentality after being almost defeated by Liu Xiu's shot, and the whole team worked together to start a counterattack.

Naturally, the Trail Blazers refused to give in at all and went all out to gain an advantage.

The Nuggets want to speed up, and the Trail Blazers want to press the pace and play a positional battle. Both teams insist on their own style of play and start a tug-of-war!

Relying on the backcourt duo of Little Flying Squirrel and Warden, the Trail Blazers went on a 7-3 run in the following period, bringing the score to 110-102, extending their lead to 8 points.

But then, the Nuggets' Kenyon Martin was replaced after resting. Kenyon Martin and Nene's twin towers rushed 11 to 5, chasing the score to 113 to 115, narrowing the gap.

Re-scaled to 2 points and entered the official pause!

…

In half a quarter, the two teams played a high-scoring battle of 18 to 18!

After the official timeout came back, the two teams did not have such a violent climax of 4-6 points difference in a short period of time. After a 6-6 tie, the Nuggets called timeout again! The game reached 9:22 of the fourth quarter.

Seconds, the score is 119 to 121, the Nuggets are still 2 points behind. The good news is that they still have the ball!

But the bad news is that even if they run and fight, they can no longer run!

George Karl carried out the lineup rotation with a calm face, replacing Nene and Boykins, replacing Andre Miller and Camby, and Voshan Leonard, Anthony, and Kenyon Martin who were already on the court continued.

beat.

The Trail Blazers also replaced Little Flying Squirrel and sent out a lineup of Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaw, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

After the timeout, the Nuggets attack.

The pace has obviously slowed down.

At this point in the game, both teams have figured out the specific situation of the opponent tonight. When they saw the opponent's lineup, the Trail Blazers knew that the opponent would definitely engage in a positional battle.

As the Trail Blazers players expected, Anthony came to the frontcourt and relied on the lawless maniacs to ask for the ball.

After scoring two points at the beginning of the final quarter, Anthony scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the next 9 minutes. He has already scored 39 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals!

Anthony caught the ball and hit the outlaw maniac in isolation, and shot a fadeaway jumper...hit!

The outlaws had a disruptive effect, but the disruptive effect was just a disruptive effect after all. Anthony made the shot!
