"Talent: Giant Killer is triggered, the host completes a dunk against the 226 cm tall opponent Yao Ming, and the morale of the host's team is greatly improved..."
In the last 1.6 seconds, the Pistons called a timeout to set up their tactics and developed an excellent receiving and shooting tactic, but the combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Outlaws, and Kwame Brown came up and killed them.
The Pistons could not find an ideal target to serve the ball. The ball finally went to the substitute point guard Tony Delk. His mid-range shot after receiving the ball was slapped away by the outlaw who was covering the ball.
The referee blows the whistle to confirm and enter overtime!
Delk held his head in frustration and came on at the critical moment. He failed to seize the opportunity. As a veteran in his 10th year of his career, he is now very frustrated.
So far this season, he is averaging 0.9 three-pointers per game and shooting 41% from the field, which is why he was replaced at critical moments.
None of his teammates paid attention to him. Only Yao Ming patted his back and gave him some comfort.
On the other side, the Trail Blazers players celebrated excitedly amidst the cheers of the fans. It was so difficult, but they still dragged the game into overtime!
The outlaws and Stevenson helped Liu Xiu wipe his sweat, while Liu Xiu drank a drink and looked at the system prompts.
During the game, he was a little depressed. Yao couldn't go anywhere, but he went to the Pistons.
Judging from the way Yao Ming and Carter are holding each other's back, you can tell that these two guys are having an affair behind his back.
The Pistons, who have rebuilt their offensive and defensive system around Yao Ming, a super center, are very strong, but Liu Xiu is not depressed about this.
Ben Wallace, Mark Hill, Amir Johnson, Samaki Walker, apart from Yao Ming, the Pistons' tallest player is only 206 centimeters, and some still call themselves taller.
Therefore, his "Giant Killer" talent can only be triggered against Yao Ming when he plays against Yao Ming. But as a point guard, how can he have so many opportunities to supplement the center? Tonight, it was triggered twice in total, one was to steal around the pile.
, the one time was this buckle just now.
He actually had another dunk tonight, and it was a dunk by Mark Hill, which was purely based on his personal ability.
But now he is no longer depressed. The dunk that just equalized the score was thanks to the 'Giant Killer'!
Fortunately, there are bonuses of +3 bounce and +3 bullet speed, otherwise there is a high probability that I would have been blocked just now!
Of course, four of the Pistons' five rotating big men are each short. For Liu Xiu, apart from not being able to trigger the 'Giant Killer', it's a pain in the butt, but there are many other benefits.
For example, in rebounding, the Pistons are a weird team that holds the rebounding title but has a net negative rebound average per game. For example, in the 2002-03 season, Ben Wallace averaged 15.4, the strongest game since Rodman.
In terms of rebounding, no one has been able to break the rebounding performance for more than ten years. The Pistons were still averaging a net loss of 0.7 rebounds per game. They averaged 40.6 rebounds per game that year, and their opponents averaged 41.3 rebounds per game.
Liu Xiu took advantage of the rebounding threat of Kwame Brown, McDyess, Mourning, and Raheem to grab 15 rebounds in regular time tonight!
5 rebounds in the final quarter!
28 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block!
Apart from him, the Trail Blazers only had one player who scored in double figures - Ray Allen, who played 35 minutes and scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
In such a tough battle, Ray Allen played better than when he played against top teams before!
After the players rested for one minute, Maurice Cheeks began to make adjustments to the lineup and tactics.
When it comes to overtime, all it takes is perseverance and star strength. Maurice Cheeks is really not afraid of this! He is not afraid of beating anyone! Even Kobe Bryant, he is still full of confidence.
Because he holds the strongest key, Mr.
The Trail Blazers players are now full of energy for this reason!
Liu Xiu is also confident because... the talent of 'Maimang' is still open!
…
At the end of the break, under the urging of the referee, the starting lineups of the two teams for overtime came onto the court.
The Pistons continued to send out the starting lineup of Billups, Carter, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Yao Ming; the Trail Blazers sent out Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDay.
A combination of Si.
The referee blew the whistle to start overtime and threw the ball in the air. Kwame Brown beat Ben Wallace to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers scored first.
Liu Xiu advanced quickly and failed to hit the fast break, but the rhythm of the advance was picked up.
When Liu Xiu approached the top arc, McDyess had already moved to the free throw line. Prince, who was guarding the top arc, and Ben Wallace, who followed the extension, were ready to defend the pick-and-roll. Yao Ming at the basket was also ready.
To guard against Liu Xiu's impact... Prince glanced sideways to see when McDyess would come up to block the attack. When his eyes returned to the top arc, he saw that Liu Xiu had already jumped up!
Prince quickly pressed forward to interfere, but it was too late, Liu Xiu had already thrown the ball!
This shot was successful, and the fans at the scene screamed in exclamation. The Trail Blazers players did not expect Liu Xiu to be so reckless.
Then... I saw the ball fall straight into the frame!
The scene was instantly detonated!
After the game dragged into overtime, the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was already ignited, and now the fans' reaction is almost crazy.
Even Billups and the little flying squirrel on the sidelines could only curse at this ball.
When they were wandering, they would at least move forward, dribble, make breakthroughs or fake moves, etc. The two of them did not do these actions to get shooting opportunities. In their eyes, as long as they can throw the ball without being blocked, it is an opportunity.
Doing these movements is purely for the feeling.
Their romantic move was not sudden, but Liu Xiu's was sudden!
How confident is this direct three-point shot without any forward movement?
But no matter what, the other side entered!
As soon as overtime began, the pressure came on the Pistons.
When the Pistons attacked, Carter took Billups' breakthrough pass and broke through again. After another point, Yao Ming stretched to the two-point area, caught the ball and hit a tiptoe shot. 84 to 85, the Pistons clenched the score.
During the transition between offense and defense, when the Pistons players retreated from defense, Flip Saunders shouted on the sidelines to instruct the defensive positioning to adjust, without backing up anyone.
There was no need to back up anyone. The Pistons defended the basket, followed Liu Xiu, chased Ray Allen, and let the Outlaws and McDyess shoot from distance.
After Liu Xiu picked and rolled, he passed back to McDyess who was on the left side of the free throw line. Prince and Ben Wallace flanked Liu Xiu. McDyess caught the ball in the high post and shot... but missed!
When the Pistons attack, Yao Ming, who has opened up space on the wing, seizes the opportunity to cut in. Carter breaks through and passes the ball to the right side of the basket. Yao Ming dunks with both hands and scores two points!
McDyess made up for it and was knocked out by Yao Ming and fell to the floor!
Yao Ming scored 25 points!
If the ball was called more strictly, McDyess would have to be called for a blocking foul, and Yao Ming could get another free throw.
Yao Ming first retreated to the backcourt, then fist bumped with Ben Wallace in celebration.
86 to 85, the Pistons lead by 1 point!
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through. He wanted to continue to trust the veteran, but he saw that Ray Allen was running particularly aggressively. When Ray Allen ran to the top arc and turned around, he passed the ball back to the top.
At the arc, Ray Allen caught the ball and turned around, but failed to get a good chance, but he still took off a jumper towards Carter!
The timing is just right. Under the interference of Carter's blocking, Ray Allen will successfully throw the ball before being slapped down.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, with a little more force and hit the inside of the basket, but it didn't matter, the ball went in!
Ray Allen's personal score also increased to 25 points, 88 to 86, and the Trail Blazers took the lead again.
Entering overtime, the situation has changed!
The game only lasted a few minutes, and the advantages of the super backcourt pair of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen were immediately apparent.
They don't need to consider the so-called overall situation, just take the ball and just do it!
When the Pistons attacked, under Liu Xiu's hand-to-hand defense, Carter suddenly shot from close range! The gap between cousins and Aiko can be reflected here.
Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound and protected it. He did not force a counterattack. Under the pressure and defense of Carter who immediately came to interfere, he steadily protected the ball and advanced. Before it reached the opponent's three-point line, Liu Xiu released the ball and Lei
- Allen caught the ball and went straight to the basket, and made a pull-up throw under Ben Wallace's defense!
Ray Allen scored 5 points in a row, raising his personal score to 27 points. The Trail Blazers led the Pistons by 4 points 90-86!
The Trail Blazers took a clear lead!
4 points difference, regular goals, the Pistons need at least two goals to overtake!
Neither side scored in the next two rounds. At 3 minutes and 44 seconds of overtime, with Ben Wallace's tip-in, the Pistons scored two points and chased the score to 88-90.
Finally a goal was scored, and the Pistons players were refreshed!
The Trail Blazers attack, with Ray Allen holding the ball.
Liu Xiu, who had not been the main attacker for several rounds, hid himself at this time. In conjunction with Ray Allen's breakthrough movement, Ray Allen tacitly distributed the ball to the wing, and pulled out Kwame Brown, who was not paying attention, to block the opponent on the wing.
, Liu Xiu took advantage of the screen to receive the ball, turned and shot a three-pointer from the right sideline...
The best three-point shooting area, 'Maimang''s hot touch bonus, 'Marksman''s three-point +2 bonus when playing without the ball... Liu Xiu hit another three-pointer!
93 to 88, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 5 points!
The Pistons didn't give up yet. Billups singled out the outlaws and hit a layup from close range, chasing the score to 90-93. With a 3-point difference, the Pistons still had a chance.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu attacked with the ball from the top of the arc. When McDyess used the pick-and-roll to break through, Carter also came over from the wing. Liu Xiu passed the ball to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen received the ball and made a three-pointer.
Fall, hollow hit!
Thanks to Ray Allen's three-pointer after catching the ball, Liu Xiu's assists increased to 10 in this game.
With 11 of 20 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws, Liu Xiu soared with 34 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 1 block!
96 to 90, with 29 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers relied on Liu Xiu and Ray Allen to score 14 points in overtime to seal the victory!
