Healing Basketball

Chapter 110.

On the importance of being one step ahead.

Warden Liu works so hard every day, and he is still stuck at the middle level of the 74 ability evaluation.

The No. 71 pick took one more step, and the three major steps that had just reached a good level at 80 directly jumped to an excellent level of 90, and the layup soared from 93 to [-], and the ability evaluation rose by two points!

People are more popular than people...

Seeing James advancing, Liu Xiu called his teammates to pay attention to shrinking and flanking.

James attacked with the ball. As Liu Xiu expected, James still chose to continue to break through and attack the frame in three steps.

The teammates heard Liu Xiu's call, and so did the opponents.

Boozer decisively pulled away when Randolph moved his position, actively looking for opportunities to catch the ball, and James passed it!
Boozer catches the ball and takes a long two-point shot...hit!
17 to 21, James led the team to bite the score.

Looking back, Randolph continued to attack in the low post, and Liu Xiu circled the baseline to catch and distribute the ball.

The Cavaliers' defense is also adjusting, shrinking the frame, Wagner retracts and Kapono pinches Travis Outlaw to break through.

But this defensive move was too obvious. Liu Xiu saw the opponent's movement when he cut in. After receiving a hand-off pass from Randolph, he made a long pass at a 45-degree angle to the left, and Matt Carroll received the ball for a three-pointer...

The opportunity is good, but it's a pity that it's iron!
Liu Xiu received a prompt of 'no response 1 time in a row'.

Randolph and Liu Xiu charged, although they failed to grab an offensive rebound, they prevented the Cavaliers from counterattacking immediately.

Matt Carroll missed a three-pointer, and was very annoyed when he retreated. Tianzun, who retreated, patted the rookie on the back to comfort him: "Don't worry, keep defending well, like this..."

After comforting Matt Carroll, Tianzun also said a few words to Travis Outlaw, and said a few more words when Randolph and Liu Xiu came back.

It is rare for Tianzun to direct his teammates to act on the defensive end!

James received a pass from Chris Mihm and advanced, his eyes were full of excitement, and he continued to break through!
Liu Xiu can only play a role in preventing James from directly breaking through the middle, and occasionally can prevent James from breaking through on the right side that he is used to, but he can't do more.

James continued to rush to the right side of the three-second zone, close to the low position, grabbed the ball, and made three big strides...

Randolph retreated to the bottom of the basket, Tianzun just followed James, just didn't jump!

Randolph is the No. [-] roadblock, and Tianzun is in the air!
After James' three big steps, he didn't make a shot and felt completely covered by Tianzun. He looked for opportunities to pass the ball.

Wagner stood on the right sideline and did not move, Liu Xiu was still behind James, and it was too risky for James to pass.

Boozer was switched by Travis Outlaw and Kapono was switched by Matt Carroll.

James passed to Chris Mihm who was close to the free throw line on the left side of the three-second zone!

This is obviously not such a good choice...

Chris Mihm made a mid-range shot and hit the basket heavily on the neck!
Randolph receives a defensive rebound.

Tianzun's command made a great contribution on the defensive end. Looking back, Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and saw Tianzun leaning against Chris Mim on the left baseline of the three-second zone, pointing his right hand to the back...

Liu Xiu nodded, seized the opportunity to play the ball, and went to the left side of the hoop.

When Liu Xiu played the ball, Tianzun had already turned around Chris Mim and cut in.

Tianzun took off on the left sideline of the three-second zone, jumped high, gliding in the air to catch a dunk!
The scene was instantly ignited!
Tianzun roared to the ground: "Basketball doesn't lie!"

"beep"

The referee whistled and made a T sign to Tianzun.

But this time the referee ignored Tianzun's subsequent expression that could scare a child into tears.

Don't look at the frequency of Tianzun taking technical offenders in the game this season is still very high, but most of the technical offenders were canceled after the game.

It's just that the referee couldn't help but give Tianzun a whistle...

Of course, free throws given to the opponent on the court will not be cancelled.

23 to 17, the Trail Blazers continued to maintain the point difference at a relatively safe level.

Kapono executes technical free throws.

Liu Xiu and Tianzun discussed how to defend, and took time to look at the mission.

Just now Liu Xiu and his teammates defended against James once and added 100 healing points, but it still showed 'no response once in a row'.

"When LeBron James scores or assists under the host's defense, the host needs to respond immediately. If he fails to respond immediately, the second round will be invalid.

When LeBron James scores or assists again under the defense of the host, the host can try to respond again. If it responds, the number of consecutive non-response times will be cleared; if it fails to respond again, the task will fail. "

Looking at the task prompt, Liu Xiu thought that if he could earn more healing points, he would earn more, and he could not be defeated... Defeating James was more attractive to him than responding to a few more balls.

Kapono's free throw was very steady, helping the Cavaliers chase the score to 18-23.

The Cavaliers attack.

Even though James' breakthrough offense has been greatly enhanced, the Trail Blazers' initiative has not been weakened!

The threat of James' breakthrough has become greater, and Tianzun's response idea is very simple, just block the basket and interfere with James' scoring after breaking in.

Naturally, this cannot completely lock James. James has a high ball quotient and a strong ability to seize opportunities to shoot or pass.

However, the preparations of James' teammates were not so good, and the defensive cooperation of the Trail Blazers became more and more proficient. The improvement brought by James' "improvement" to the Cavaliers was quickly adapted by the Trail Blazers.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers by 31 points 24 to 7 and entered the intermission!
……

打了7分多钟，拿到6分2板3助攻，帮助球队打出了20比17的比分。

The data is far from James's 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter... But Liu Xiu is already very satisfied.

'Let's face the No. 30 pick! 'This task has not failed, Liu Xiu completed an assist response and a [-]-degree free throw line jumper in the remaining time of the first quarter, continuing the task.

In the second quarter, Liu Xiu did not continue to play, and James was also replaced for a rest. The Cavaliers sent Ricky Davis as the core.

The Trail Blazers sent the twin towers of Tianzun and Dale Davis, with Little Flying Squirrel, Ruben Patterson, and Travis Outlaw to defend.

Ricky Davis leads the team alone, has the ball in his hands, and his performance is no worse than James who has liberated his feet!

But the teammates of the partner are worse than James.

Good teammates, Cavaliers coach Paul Silas left for James...

By the middle of the second quarter, when James replaced Ricky Davis, the score was 41 to 30, and the point difference widened to 11 points.

At this time, Wagner, Kapono, Boozer, and Big Z are replaced by four players who are more suitable as the core of the team.

James' breakthrough offense 'strengthened', Cavaliers players will feel embarrassed not to use it?Of course it is impossible. Cavaliers coach Paul Silas took the lead in directing so as not to embarrass James.

However, the Trail Blazers are also prepared, defending better than in the second half of the first quarter.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers scored 55 to 41, and the point difference widened to 14 points!
The Cavaliers adjusted independently in the second half of the first quarter. In fact, there are still some changes. Boozer can pass the ball after receiving the ball, because it is not arranged by the coach to "play how to play".

But when the Cavaliers coach arranged for such a play, the priority must be to follow the tactics, but the details of this temporary arrangement are too vague, and the experience of cooperation is too little!
Paul Silas's adjustment this time is not so much to play better, but to further consolidate James' core low position, and-to make his teammates get used to James' inside footsteps.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, just like not giving Ricky Davis even a well-coordinated teammate. Paul Silas decided to do it immediately after seeing the signs.

Although they won't play poorly this season, he will try his best to find ways to win more games, but the game can be given up... and the players didn't fight randomly, they just didn't cooperate well.

……

In the third quarter, Liu Xiu, who ate strawberry-flavored candied haws, continued to take turns with Ruben Patterson to defend against James.

Unfortunately, the mission of "Let's face the No. 1000 pick" who contributed 900 healing points in the first quarter and [-] healing points in the second quarter was terminated by Boozer's two consecutive mid-range shots in the third quarter.

Boozer turned around and made two consecutive catches, added two assists to James, and also helped the Cavaliers hit a small climax at the beginning of the third quarter, and then James directly threw a three-pointer from the top arc. After entering, the Cavaliers narrowed the point difference to 7 points in a wave of 0-7, trailing 48 to 55.

James scored a three-pointer, and Liu Xiu got a three-pointer that went around the baseline and ran to the bottom corner without anyone watching!

The Cavaliers had just started, but they were beaten back by Liu Xiu's unexpected three-pointer...

Facing James' breakthrough and scoring style, the Trail Blazers got used to it in the second half, and their defense became more targeted.

Big Z moves slowly, Wagner is unwilling to move, and Kapono is weak...Only Boozer moves diligently and can maintain a high catch-and-shoot percentage.

Although the task has almost no impact on Liu Xiu, he is very calm when playing and takes winning as his first goal, but he still cares about the task when his strength advantage is obvious.

When the mission was over, he did a better job on the defensive end, doing a better job of blocking bottom line cuts on both sides.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Cavaliers 79 to 64 by 15 points and entered the final quarter.

In the first three quarters, the Cavaliers still held a sliver of theoretical hope. At the end of the quarter, the Cavaliers continued to dare to fight!
The official timeout in the fourth quarter also narrowed the point difference to the Cavaliers by 2 points. The Cavaliers scored 13 to 11 in half a quarter, 77 to 90, reducing the point difference to 13 points.

But the official timeout came back, Randolph stormed, Tianzun led Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw to defend desperately, and in more than two minutes, the Cavaliers made a wave of 10 to 2 ...

With a score of 100 to 79, the Trail Blazers beat the Cavaliers to surrender!
……

In the end, the score was fixed at 106 to 85, and the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Cavaliers by 21 points.

"The game between the Trail Blazers and the Cavaliers is over, the host has ended its competitive relationship with the players of the Cavaliers, and the talent: the bonus effect of the low post turnaround jumper is over."

Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 700 healing value. "

"The remaining healing value is 11236."

The overall rating of B+... Forget it, I got 1900 healing points by relying on the task of "Let's face the No. 2600 pick" tonight, adding up to [-], breaking through [-] again!
Breaking [-], it's natural to have a wave of krypton... Liu Xiu was thinking about what flavor of candied haws will appear, while walking towards the player tunnel...was stopped by the staff to accept an interview.

兰多夫今晚19分14板，天尊也有12分7板5助攻2盖帽的表现，小飞鼠打的时间虽少，但17分钟出场时间有13分入账……但电视台要采访谁，是电视台说了算。

Not only Liu Xiu was interviewed, but also James who lost.

Losing a game, James is very unwilling, but what can be done?Just can't beat it!
Happily, he made 29 of 14 shots tonight, including 2 of 1 three-pointers and 14 of 11 free throws. He scored 40 points, plus 7 rebounds and 8 assists!

He didn't get a 40+ triple-double, and there was still a gap compared with Liu Xiu's 52 points in a single game, but James broke his own scoring record in a single game and scored the first 40 points in a single game of his career!
In the direct dialogue with Liu Xiu tonight, James must have a considerable advantage.

All in all, after a game, Liu Xiu's performance can only be said to be without embarrassment, and his performance is steady.

Liu Xiu and James gathered in front of the camera, and James said, "Congratulations, you guys won, but I must be the one who wins next time!"

Liu Xiu responded, "I wish you good luck."

James wants to smash the headband!
At this time, the ESPN reporter's reporter came, James took a deep breath, ignored the gradually irritable mood, accepted the interview, and greeted the praise...

The reporter asked: "Warden, I heard you want to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water?"

"???"

"???"

Liu Xiu's question mark is a real question mark.

James felt bad when he heard this question-am I going to be half of the NBA?
