  Chapter 977 Chapter 977. God of Basketball Holy Land

   It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, with 58 seconds left, Liu Xiu advanced past the half court and dribbled the ball at the top arc. McGrady had become the one defending him.

  At this time, McGrady's defense is no longer the level of focusing on defense and having the best defense level in the 2005 finals.

  He himself knew about this, and had already accepted such a change.

  However, with defensive awareness, height and wingspan on the table, at critical moments, he still confidently chose him to defend Liu Xiu.

  After the teammates settled down, Liu Xiu didn't waste time and broke through directly!

   McGrady stepped back quickly with small steps, Liu Xiu braked, stopped suddenly, retreated, returned to the top arc, and shot a three-pointer...

  McGrady had expected it, and immediately put his feet back and jumped up, took off, and stretched out his hands to cover Liu Xiu's shot line.

   But this time difference was enough for Liu Xiu. He leaned back to avoid McGrady's block and threw the ball!

   Seeing Liu Xiu leaning back so much, McGrady thought that such an effective interference should be prevented... No! He saw the smile on the corner of Liu Xiu's mouth after throwing it!

   This smile was seen by McGrady when Liu Xiu threw a pick-and-roll three-pointer last round!

   "Talent: Kobe's time is on..."

  Liu Xiu, who was feeling hot, took a step back and hit a lying three-pointer!

   Score 5 goals in a row and score 12 points in a row!

When he came back from the timeout at 8 minutes and 55 seconds, he issued the command to start the 'Kobe time', so when he hit the big Q, a big pitcher who has become a defensive black hole, he chose to use a retreat to face McGrady's defensive choice After breaking through the throw, he also made a strong counterattack and threw the ball in, successfully opening the 'Kobe time'.

  So, his two three-pointers can be as turbulent as possible, and he is all high.

   With 43 seconds left, it was the Knicks' turn to attack, and the assassins did not call a timeout.

  Although the opponent feels hot, McGrady feels hot now!

   McGrady didn't want to call a timeout either, and he was too excited now, enjoying the duel with Liu Xiu very much.

   It is impossible to get 60+ points like Liu Xiu did tonight, but he has already scored 47 points so far, and with another three-pointer, he will have 50 points in a single game.

  What he has to do now, what he must do, is to retaliate to Liu Xiu's three-pointer just now!

  Crawford advances to the front court and passes the ball to McGrady, Liu Xiu presses up to stick to McGrady.

   McGrady grabbed the ball sideways with one hand and held it horizontally, avoiding Liu Xiu's steal.

   There is another reason why the Assassins did not call a timeout. They were afraid that the Trail Blazers would replace the outlaws.

  Although the outlaws did not perform well on defense tonight due to fatigue, the assassins still guarded against the outburst of the outlaws at the critical moment.

   Let Ray Allen or Korver defend McGrady... Liu Xiu also chose to come by himself.

   This made McGrady even more excited. He has been a little depressed tonight, which can't be solved-he occasionally defends Liu Xiu alone, and he doesn't know how many times he has been shot, but Liu Xiu hardly defends him alone.

  Now, Yan Ye's chance as the warden finally came!

   Seeing David Lee and Jared Jeffries in the rushing position, McGrady leaned over, separated Liu Xiu with a Kobe-style head-on-the-ball, and made a three-pointer..."snap"...not a block!

  McGrady suddenly raised the ball, and when he was about to launch a sniper three-pointer, Liu Xiu quickly reached out and dropped the racket that McGrady had just brought to his waist!

   Actually captured it! Liu Xiu was also very surprised, but he reacted quickly and pressed up to grab the ball immediately.

   McGrady reacted quickly, but he was not as strong as Liu Xiu. He bent down to grab it, but was pushed away by Liu Xiu.

  McGrady's defensive awareness was shown, and he immediately retreated. Liu Xiu controlled the ball and pushed forward to counterattack. McGrady followed Liu Xiu closely until Liu Xiu rushed to the free throw line, and McGrady did not lose his position.

   At the critical moment, McGrady's defense also broke out!

   Just when McGrady thought he was defending, Liu Xiu threw the ball to the top arc.

  Ray Allen followed up and caught the ball!

   Jumping up, ignoring Crawford who was jumping up, chasing after him and making a three-point shot...

  Crawford's cap was empty, and Ray Allen hit a three-pointer!

  140 to 134, the Trail Blazers led by 6 points, and the Knicks called a timeout!

  The whistle sounded, and the Trail Blazers players poured into the court, celebrating the victory around Ray Allen and Liu Xiu.

   There are 25 seconds left in the game, the Knicks are not without a chance, the Trail Blazers started to celebrate at this time, the fans at the scene... cheered for the visiting Trail Blazers!

  "Warden", "MVP", "Mr. Jess", "Flying Man"... and so on!

  The New York fans who regarded Liu Xiu as an enemy before the game are now turning their backs!

   Made 22 of 38 shots, including 8 of 14 three-pointers and 12 of 14 free throws. Liu Xiu scored 64 points tonight.

Originally, New York fans wanted to rely on McGrady to conquer Liu Xiu. In the summer of 2010, he joined the Knicks at the age of 28. At that time, their junk contracts and premium contracts almost expired. Three superstars, the goal is Tim Duncan of the Spurs, and then they will form the Big Three.

  I don’t know who gave this confidence. Anyway, in the circle of New York basketball fans, the Knicks’ team building plan is like this.

  But after seeing Liu Xiu pressing down on McGrady tonight, the New York fans began to waver. After Liu Xiu scored 50 points, there were cheers on the scene. After scoring 60 points, the situation was out of control...

  When Ray Allen followed up with a follow-up three-pointer and Liu Xiu also scored double figures in assists, the fans on the scene were completely rebellious!

  60+ triple-doubles!

  The idea of ​​New York fans wanting to break Liu Xiu's undefeated record at Madison Square Garden was completely dissipated!

  Spike Lee on the sidelines excitedly rushed to the camera on the sidelines and shouted: "The warden is the **** of the holy land of basketball!"

  …

   In such a game, McGrady made a mistake at a critical moment, and McGrady was extremely annoyed, feeling like he was about to burst.

   But there are 25 seconds left and he is not willing to give up!

  Liu Xiu has a miracle of 34 seconds and 13 minutes, and he Timai is confident that he also has that ability!

   The timeout came back, and the Knicks played the ball in the frontcourt.

   McGrady catches the ball and continues to attack. This time it is not Liu Xiu who defends him, but as the assassin expected, after the ball is dead, the Trail Blazers will definitely replace him with an outlaw.

   Facing the defense of the outsiders, McGrady confidently made a three-point shot... The outsiders tried their best to interfere, and the interference was in place!

   McGrady hit the basket's neck with a three-pointer!

  Tonight, Morris Cheeks reduced the playing time of the outlaws, mainly because the offensive performance of the outlaws was average, and the effect was not as good as Millsap or McDyess, Birdman, Hill and others.

   If McGrady can't be guarded, it is definitely impossible to guard. McGrady's super fast first three steps, even the outlaws can't stick to it.

   The outlaw lunatic interfered with McGrady's outside shots, and he did a good job, but McGrady is not stupid. He must choose to break through when playing against the outlaw lunatic.

   LaFrentz and McDyess got stuck, Liu Xiu retracted to the basket and grabbed a defensive rebound.

  The Knicks players rushed up to steal Liu Xiu or make a tactical foul...but they all stopped, and no one dared to press up to steal or foul.

   After Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound and stood firm, he held the ball with both hands and frantically swung the unicorn arm!

   Not to mention the opponents, even LaFrentz and McDyess took a step away in fright.

   Liu Xiu's action, the referee almost whistled!

  Who procrastinates in this way?

   Warden!

The time was delayed for a few seconds. Liu Xiuzai lobbed the ball to Ray Allen in the middle circle. Ray Allen hurriedly crossed halftime to avoid the 8-second violation. Nick was chasing after Ray Allen. The Sri Lankan players saw that Ray Allen didn't intend to make a fast break, nor did he intend to continue to press for steals or fouls, and waited for the end of the game.

   At 9:25 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

  Liu Xiu scored 64 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to a 140-134 victory over the Knicks!
