It was the Trail Blazers' own offensive rhythm that was dragged down.

There's something about Terry Porter...

At the end of the game, O'Neal could no longer play any role other than his usual deterrent effect.

Compared with the Mavericks, the Suns' pace is outrageously slow, which is completely another extreme compared to before.

After playing for a few rounds, Liu Xiu's guess came true.

This regular season, Liu Xiu has become one of the players with the highest ball possession rate.

Before the game started, Liu Xiu copied his talents, Ray Allen's full-blooded 'quick shot', and Nash's full-blooded 'skill flow'.

Liu Xiu made 3 of 5 shots in the first quarter and scored 8 points, but his teammates only made 3 of 13 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers...

They know that the Suns have changed coaches, but normally they won't change their style of play immediately. Even if they do, it will only be detailed adjustments. After all, when D'Antoni was 'sick', the regular season was over.

Maurice Cheeks dared to let him "brush" the data with confidence, and he took this into consideration.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns took the lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead and Kwame Brown cut to the basket and caught the ball for a layup and scored two points.

Facing Kirisek's defense, Luwei broke through and hit a long two-pointer!

The warden gave him trust, and Luwei lived up to that trust!

The little bully saw Nash playing like this and understood the opponent's thoughts. Then he and Nash started an infinite singles game with one ball and one ball for me!

After halftime, the Suns led the Trail Blazers by 8 points 48-40!

The Suns used O'Neal to squat under the basket, flank Liu Xiu, and followed Ray Allen's defensive strategy, defending 5 from 3, leaving two people open, and they actually defended him!

Liu Xiu made 2 of 4 shots and scored 8 points on 4 of 4 free throws. His teammates scored 12 points on 5 of 18 shots.

He was thinking of the dozen championship banners at Staples Center and the North Shore Garden Arena.

The Trail Blazers scored 28-25 in the final quarter, tying the Suns 93-93 and dragging the game into overtime!

Nash and O'Neal are both veteran players who have been playing for more than ten years. They know how to adjust their mentality. They chose to believe that this is the right answer for them.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 65-68, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

The Bully made 4 of 6 shots and 2 of 3 free throws to score 10 points.

Seeing the division champion above my head, and even seeing the regular season division championship banner... it's a bit annoying.

Nash had 7 points and 3 assists, and James had 5 points. The three of them scored 18 points together, once again leading the Suns to a score of 24-20.

Nash was also aware of this. Facing Liu Xiu's defense, he chose a single and hit a mid-range shot from a horse-riding archer to stabilize the situation and not give the Trail Blazers a chance to overtake the score by one goal.

O'Neal caught the ball, turned around and pushed Randolph away, feinted a shot to avoid Birdman's defense, got up and made a layup.

When the Suns attacked, Nash advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to O'Neal, who was leaning on Kwame Brown in the low post. O'Neal received the ball, took a step, turned around and hit the hook.

Liu Xiu recalled that when he first entered the NBA, he won the first place in the regular season division. When the flag was raised, he was so happy.

But I didn’t expect to actually beat the Trail Blazers!

O'Neal had 8 points and 2 rebounds in the first quarter, Nash had 5 points and 2 assists, and the Bully had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. The three of them performed extremely well!

Maybe, this is the right answer tonight?

If they had scored one more counterattack in the third quarter, if they had defended one more single from that high school student in the third quarter, if O'Neal had come to them one year younger... Looking at the technical table confirming that it had entered overtime, Nash felt a tightness in his chest!

Liu Xiu made 10 of 16 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 3 turnovers.

Guard against the warden?

Nash doesn't think so. They just succeeded in reducing Liu Xiu's shots. Liu Xiu shoots the ball quickly and accurately. Now in the playoffs, Nash can feel the improvement of Liu Xiu's passing. Last season in the Western Conference Finals, Liu Xiu's outstanding performance

Accurate shot + solid passing selection, and the mistakes are controlled at a good level.

Now, Liu Xiu's passing choices are still very good, and his passing accuracy has also improved significantly compared to last season's Western Conference Finals! The turnover rate has also been reduced as a result!
