Healing Basketball

Chapter 1059 1059. An Opportunity to Continue the Peak

"The Great Mage: Game Status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Ray Allen, characteristic conversion talent: quick shot (full blood)...

Opponent: Chris Paul, characteristic conversion talent: Fireworks (full blood), bonus effect: absolute leader, synonymous with talent, teammates will always feel more at ease when the host is on the field, and the shooting confidence of the shooter partnered with the host will increase. The partner's inside teammate passes and catches the ball and has a clearer shooting idea, and the tacit understanding with the host's teammate who executes the pick-and-roll is greatly improved. "

"Prisoner (Buff) triggers..."

"Talent: Sharpshooter is temporarily activated..."

Although he has absolute confidence, Liu Xiu will not be careless when he comes to the field and looks at the small cannon at the opposite free throw line.

"Chris Paul, 23 years old, 183 cm, 80 kg, PG, ability rating 95, offense 92, defense 93, passing 97... Played 55 games, averaging 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.91 assists, 2.79 steals and 0.1 blocks per game... Shooting 50.3% from the field, 36.4% from the three-point line, 86.8% from the free throw line..."

In the second generation of assassins, Paul's current performance gave Liu Xiu the same feeling.

Except for more injuries.

Now, here comes the mission!
"Chris Paul, who is only 23 years old, is dazzling and gorgeous, and has reached the most brilliant moment... The Superstar in Chaos Series Mission: Fireworks trigger."

"Fireworks:
Goal 1: In this series, the host needs to limit Chris Paul to less than 20 points per game.

Goal 2: In this series, the host needs to limit Chris Paul’s assists per game to less than 10, or the host’s average assists per game is higher than Chris Paul’s.

Goal 3: In this series, the host needs to average more steals than Chris Paul.

Reward: Every time a goal is completed, the healing value will be rewarded with 3000.

Advanced goal: Quickly eliminate the Jazz and advance to the second round.

Advanced rewards: 5 promotions, the rewards of the first 3 goals are doubled; the first 3 goals are completed, and the promotion is swept, and an additional special card is rewarded: adaptability. "

"Adaptability (*): When the host suffers from injuries, decline in physical fitness, rule changes... and other situations that may lead to a precipitous decline in strength, he will get an opportunity to enhance his adaptability. Whether he can adapt depends on the host's physical condition, basic skills, and technology. Depends."

This is a bad mission, why didn't the first target come with a 'or his average score per game is higher than Xiaopao'?
But the highest reward, he wants to win!
So useful!

This card is useless for players with pure physical fitness. For that type of players, if their physical fitness declines, it is not a matter of adaptability.

But he is confident that he is already one of the best basketball players in the world, but his current goal is not just one.

If in the future, due to the decline in physical fitness, the decline in strength, the lack of self-adjustment ability... and other reasons, you can no longer adapt to the game again, this card may become the key to continue the peak period.

Whether it can continue is hard to say, an opportunity is just an opportunity, but if you can have multiple opportunities, naturally you can't miss it!

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Kwame Brown beat Chandler to win the jump ball, and the Blazers went first!

Jazz starting lineup: Paul, CJ-Myers, Larry Hughes, Boozer, Chandler's starting lineup.

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Although Chandler lost the jump ball, he actively retreated, blocked the opponent's flank to cut into the line, and recovered to the basket in time... The defensive end performed quite well.

Liu Xiu quickly advanced, Randolph and Hill used Kwame Brown to rush in the middle to threaten the opening fast break of the opposite basket. They were blocked by Chandler, Larry Hughes and Paul. The Trail Blazers fell positional warfare.

Sloan nodded on the sidelines - playing the Trail Blazers, we should give Chandler some face, he will play harder when facing the No. [-] pick in the same class.

For Chandler, the second-best high school student, Sloan has also been disappointed.

本赛季常规赛，钱德勒场均7.8分8板0.5助攻0.3抢断1.3盖帽，场均出场时间还高达32分钟，和对面同届状元根本没法比了。

But now there is an opportunity to arouse Chandler's fighting spirit, Sloan is also based on the principle of not wasting, use it when it is needed, not to mention cashing out Chandler's already elusive talent, as long as Chandler wants to compete with Kwame Brown It's okay to play at a better level than usual in the playoffs. It would be even better if the trade value can be improved. Chandler will enter a contract year next season, and this summer is when he has the highest trade value.

Sloan's decision was paid off tonight. Under Chandler's hard work, the Jazz played a very strong defense!

The Blazers' counterattack in the opening stage was restricted everywhere, falling into positional battles, Larry Hughes' single defense at the top arc, CJ Miles' off-ball pursuit, Paul and Chandler's flank and short-range supplementary defense Very well done too.

科沃尔替补上场三分球3中2拿到6分、法外狂徒5投3中外加2中2的罚球拿到8分，两人合砍14分，开拓者队首节却仅拿到21分！
雷-阿伦4中0、兰多夫2中0，刘秀首节也被空位投篮连连打铁的队友们给拖累了，4投1中只拿到2分。

Fortunately, they did a good job defensively. Kirilenko, who came off the bench, scored 11 points and 3 assists. The Jazz only scored 21 points in the first quarter.

The two teams tied at 21 in the first quarter!
After a tie start, the players of the two teams felt completely different. The Trail Blazers were a little dumbfounded, unhappy and angry.

They won 73 victories, but they were tied in the first quarter by the 46-win Jazz!

During the preparation meeting, they were still emphasizing that as long as any team enters the playoffs, it is a "championship contender". reached the finals.

But after the playoffs really started, the Trail Blazers players who won 73 wins were inevitably careless.

Their remarks in the interview and their offensive attitude at the beginning completely ignored the Jazz players.

Now in a passive state, their mentality is even worse.

In addition, Liu Xiu's worries about the state of his teammates two days ago have now become a reality.

The offensive state is really bad!
During the intermission, the coach and Huo Tuo made very good adjustments on the offensive end, but the players of the Trail Blazers performed very generally, and their shooting performance was also poor. Compared with the performance in the first quarter, it did not continue to decline. Under the high-intensity confrontational defense, the Trail Blazers only scored 21 points in the second quarter.

While the Jazz, taking advantage of the time when the Trail Blazers put their energy into the offensive end and reduced their defensive investment, they maintained a high-intensity defense and played their offense. At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers led by 29 points 21 to 50!
In the third quarter, the Blazers' offensive end finally began to improve. Their shooting performance and tactical execution improved. After halftime, their offense finally entered the state and scored 26 points in a single quarter.

But the defensive end was still very bad, and the Jazz scored 27 points in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed the Jazz by 68 points 77 to 9!
...

This game was played, and the fans of Rose Garden were a little skeptical about life.

Is it really not good for a strong offensive team in the playoffs?

Trail Blazers fans who preached for a season that 'offensive basketball is the future' are now questioning their own thinking.

The fans in San Antonio were all excited to watch the live broadcast!

After winning the first place in the league and setting the best record in team history, they were hammered in the first game of the playoffs. They are familiar with this plot!
Their being hacked is something that has already happened and cannot be changed. They have already been nailed to the pillar of shame.

But if other teams are hacked, their attention will be diverted a lot.

Just like in the original time and space, after the Bulls were also hacked in 2012, the Spurs were hacked in 2011. Many people forgot about it. Out.

Tonight, people are Jazz fans, especially San Antonio people, and they are Jazz fans in place.

In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead, and Liu Xiu came up and hit an iron. The screams of hundreds of Jazz fans at the scene were extremely ear-piercing, and were immediately covered by the voices of the Blazers fans.

But the joy of the hundreds of Jazz fans who came to watch the game represented a large part of the fans in front of the TV.

But when it came time for the Jazz to attack, the combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, outlaws, Kwame Brown, and Gasol made it very difficult for the Jazz to play!
In the end the ball came to Boozer, Boozer caught the ball and made a layup... "snap"... Gasol was the top man, and the outlaw lunatic blocked the block!

Gasol protected the defensive rebound, Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and made a strong shot in the last round. "Kobe Time" directly failed, but he did not stop attacking, and continued to shoot three-pointers after the pick-and-roll with Gasol... ...hit!
71 to 77, the point difference narrowed to 6 points!
Sloan didn't mess up, and signaled from the sidelines-press the rhythm, play positional warfare, rely on the stars, and hit the success rate.

A very simple and traditional way of coping, nothing new, but it is a very good choice when leading the playoffs.

When it came time for the Jazz to attack, Boozer made a long two-pointer, opening the point difference to 8 points.

But immediately after, Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a two-pointer, returning a goal!The point difference was reduced to 6 points again!
After getting the buff of 'that touch of back', he used the back jumper, his waist and abdomen strength increased, his movements became smoother, and he played more freely, especially when he added the step back, turning over and other actions, the feeling of the back shot That's called a silky smooth.

It was the Jazz's offense again. Paul scored two points after the pick-and-roll, but was interfered by extrajudicial lunatics.

Kwame Brown and the outlaw made a bold decision. When Paul and Boozer picked and rolled, the outlaw went out to defend the pick and roll, and Kwame Brown switched to the small forward.

The effect is very good!
Paul's small fight against Kwame Brown is even easier than playing against the beast, but facing the outlaw fanatic who claims to be the "no. 1 interference flow defense", Paul's shooting is more affected!

Liu Xiu pressed Boozer to protect the defensive rebound, and the Jazz advanced quickly. After Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt, he was flanked and split the ball to the flank... Ray Allen caught the ball and jumped up, and took a long two-pointer...hit!
75 to 79, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 4 points!
The Jazz tried to suppress the Blazers by pressing the rhythm and relying on the stars, but the Jazz stars scored, and Liu Xiu followed suit. The Jazz stars couldn't make shots, but Liu Xiu could still make shots!

The Jazz did not attack Liu Xiu as intensively as in the first three quarters, so he had more chances to score at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This is because the Trail Blazers played a good team performance in the third quarter.

And this was predicted by Liu Xiu during the break after the third quarter. His adjustments during the break-the whole team defended, he came to swing, the opponent flanked him, whether he could shoot or not, If the opportunity is really bad, he will pass it on, and his teammates will be confident and bold to vote. It is everyone's credit for the win, and he, the person who gave the idea, is responsible for the loss.

The butcher slapped the chair, almost breaking it, and said loudly: "How can you let the warden bear the blame alone? The responsibility for the loss is all of us! We fought with them in the last quarter..."

Then, the butcher was not sent, and he was not suitable for the defense.

But with his voice, and the confidence of their teammate 'The Greatest Player Ever' Warden, the Blazers regained their confidence and played hard and confident in the final quarter.

It is so easy to regain confidence, the most important thing, of course, is that they have the best record of 73 wins in history, and they have extremely strong self-confidence.

After the point difference narrowed to 4 points, they panicked and turned to the Jazz!

Sloan called a timeout and shouted to the players, "Steady, don't mess up, don't worry, we are still ahead", trying to appease the uneasiness of the players.

An old coach with more than 20 years of coaching experience, coaching experience in two finals, and his ability is really admired by the players, Sloan's shouting smoothly calmed down most of the players.

Indeed, leading is leading, even if you win by 1 point in the end, you are still winning.

They suppress the rhythm, reduce offensive and defensive rounds, try to ensure scoring, and drag to the end-this is the current thinking of the Jazz players.

However, although the goal of this style of play is clear, the pressure is also very concentrated-to ensure scoring, it depends on the stars!
Rely on, of course, the two big stars Paul and Boozer.

Boozer is okay, hard enough and strong enough to score stably against Kwame Brown's defense.

But their more critical scorer Paul panicked!

Paul is one of the few Jazz players who can't calm down!

For the past three years or so, every time Paul and Liu Xiu played against each other, it was like having a nightmare, or an endless loop...

Paul did not give up, nor did he hesitate to play, but played more resolutely and harder after returning from the timeout!
He performed very well, and his excellent form tonight is still there. In the rhythmic positional battle, he maintained a fairly good performance. Before the official timeout, he made 5 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws to get 6 points, helping the Jazz lead the Trail Blazers by 89 points 84 to 5 before the official timeout.

12 to 16, the Jazz, under the leadership of Paul, worked hard to withstand the Blazers' counterattack.

However, after the official timeout came back, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers chased the score to 87-89.

Paul shouldered the heavy burden again, he chose to play Bo, hit a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll... blocked!

Liu Xiu rushed out to grab the ball before Paul and counterattacked!

Paul turned around before he could stand still, and chased Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt and stopped outside the three-point line.Paul rushed over his head and entered the three-point line, but he turned around and pounced on Liu Xiu again relying on his powerful explosive power...

Facing Paul's attack, Liu Xiu chased and hit a three-pointer from a little bit to the right of the top arc!
'Splash' opened!
One for Ray Allen and one for Liu Xiu. The two teamed up to score two three-pointers in a row, helping the Trail Blazers overtake the Jazz by 7 point 41-90 at 89 minutes and 1 seconds of the fourth quarter!
...

Finally, I don’t have to go to the hospital anymore, and I’m discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. I finished writing a chapter at the buzzer tonight, and almost stopped updating.

Thank you for your support and understanding, and we will resume normal updates tomorrow~ Thank you!
