Healing Basketball

Chapter 121 121. Arenas' Counterattack!

But isn't this task already here? There's no way it can't be.

Liu Xiu focused on observing the game and preparing herself for playing.

On the court, after the start of the second quarter, the Wizards' style of play changed-Princeton go!
When Arenas partnered with Stackhouse, he mainly played with the ball, and when he partnered with Larry Hughes, he mainly played off the ball.

At this time Arenas and Randolph competed.

In the second half of the first quarter, Randolph scored 7 points, and his personal score increased to 13 points. Arenas "only" scored 5 points in those 5 minutes, and his personal score is currently 14 points. Randolph surpassed. Although Arenas didn't know that someone was pushing Randolph to score with him behind his back, he just cared about it right now.

After fighting for a while, Arenas got into a fight with Little Momonga again. He's a guy who fights the air, and fights with everyone.

At 8 minutes and 44 seconds into the second quarter, the score was 50 to 51. The Trail Blazers trailed the Wizards by 1 point. The Trail Blazers called a timeout for a lineup rotation!

In the past 8 minutes, the Trail Blazers and the Wizards played a score of 18 to 20. Larry Hughes attacked with the ball and Arenas played without the ball. .

When Liu Xiu was watching the game from the sidelines, he felt that the Wizards had a feeling that they would reach the second round in the future.

Arenas and Larry Hughes are in really good shape tonight.

But, now, the Trail Blazers' chance has come!
Back from the timeout, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Wizards sent a combination of Steve Blake, Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown and Haywood.

Blake, like Liu Xiu, is a rookie point guard with a good ability to organize offense, but after returning from a timeout, he only serves as a wing shooter, and he doesn't have a single shot opportunity in 3 minutes and 16 seconds. After halftime, he has nothing to do up.

Stackhouse and Larry Hughes playing together, what a disaster!The two played singles in turn, but without the mediation of Arenas, they did not pass the ball to each other!
As for the rest of the team, Blake, ignore it; Kwame Brown, look down on it... just Haywood is a passer, but Haywood's offensive talent is compared to Kwame Brown...

Kwame Brown, if you don't train him, look down on him, scold him, whatever you want, he can average 21+ points per game at the age of 10.

As for Heywood, you tried your best to feed the ball, but you couldn't even average 10+ points per game.

So it's two people playing singles.

This is the opportunity the Trail Blazers have been waiting for. As a strong team with 50 wins, the Trail Blazers will face a young army with a high probability of upset like the Wizards.

In the opening stage, after the three outside stars of the Wizards showed outstanding performance, Maurice Cheeks has been trying to find a way to play the advantage, and at the same time, he is also ready to wait for Arenas to go down to rest, The time period when Stackhouse and Larry Hughes played together!

As for whether the Wizards will only send one of the two when Arenas rests?
impossible.

Compared with most role players, even a few random shots by top stars are more accurate than those role players who are cautiously shooting in singles.

If the two go together, at least we can expect that both of them are in good condition and can fight five...

Clearly not tonight!

In the last 3 minutes and 16 seconds of the first half, the Wizards only scored 3 points!And it's not a sports battle score!

Tianzun protects the frame, Ruben Patterson defends Larry Hughes alone, Travis Outlaw interferes with Stackhouse's shooting, Dale Davis and Liu Xiu together attack and make up defense, Wizards During this period, only Larry Hughes made two free throws for a foul, Haywood rushed to an offensive rebound and made two free throws for a foul to get 3 points.

During this period of time, the Trail Blazers played a wave of 9 to 4!
With Liu Xiu's counterattack at the halftime buzzer, three points and three points, after halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Wizards by 59 points 55 to 4 and entered the intermission!
Liu Xiu walked towards the player tunnel with some regrets. Tonight, he made 3 of 0 three-pointers!
看着系统里‘2003-2004赛季三分球投篮表现：15/51’，的眼泪在飞……命中率跌破30%了！
"I knew the second person who would learn the history of the future, what kind of buzzer throw..."

Liu Xiu's heart aches when she thinks that she has at least six or seven three-pointers with a 99.99...% probability of not scoring!

But next time he is given a chance, he will still choose to vote... What if he gets in?
Back in the locker room, Liu Xiu took out an all-purpose nutritious lunch box with braised pork and ate it...

"...

吉尔伯特-阿里纳斯：20分2板4助攻1抢断0盖帽。

宿主：5分6板3助攻1抢断0盖帽。

... "

"Both me and the male gun are in trouble. Steals. My steal seems to be a free gift from the parallel import champion. No matter how I score, I can't catch up with him. He shouldn't be able to catch up with me in rebounds. The key is assists or steals!"If he can't get a block, then I must win an assist and a steal! '

In the first half, Liu Xiu played a total of 13 minutes and grabbed 6 rebounds. He was fighting for it!
But he took the rebound and protected the ball, and the choice and timing of the fast break were very good, and his teammates were also helping him rebound.

Randolph, like Arenas, played a little over 20 minutes in the half, scoring 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

With Arenas scoring, Liu Xiu completely handed over to Randolph...

……

Back from the halftime break, Liu Xiu and Derek Anderson, Travis Outlaw, Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace started together.

The Wizards survived the time when Arenas needed to rest and sent a combination of Arenas, Juan Dixon, Stackhouse, Laettner, and Kwame Brown.

The game began in the second half, and the Trail Blazers, who lost the jump ball at the beginning, went first.

Liu Xiu advances to the frontcourt with the ball. The first choice is to give the ball to Derek Anderson to take control. He, Liu, intersperses and runs to support... But before reaching the three-point line, Liu Xiu found an opportunity , through the ball...

Randolph turned back from the baseline and bypassed Kwame Brown and went straight to the basket, received the ball and made a layup!
Kwame Brown chased to the basket, and he didn't press up to interfere when the chance of the shot was slim.

It can be said to avoid fouls, but it can be seen that Kwame Brown's current defense is no longer excellent.

Liu Xiu already understands why Kwame Brown's defensive rating is 84...

61 to 55, the Trail Blazers lead extended to 6 points!
In the transition between offense and defense, Arenas quickly advanced with the ball and came to the outside of the three-point line. Before Liu Xiu came up, one meter away from the three-point line, Arenas made an emergency stop, took off, and made a three-point shot...

in!

Arenas' personal score increased to 23 points, the score was 58 to 61, and he helped the Wizards narrow the point difference to 3 points!
Just now, Liu Xiu passed the ball directly to Randolph and hit it. The TV commentator, fans, and the Trail Blazers all thought that the Trail Blazers should rely on this good start to really take advantage.

This sudden shot...

When it came to the Trail Blazers' offense, Kwame Brown was scolded again just now. When his frustration reached the extreme, he was scolded again, which had a positive effect. He didn't want to continue to be scolded, no, he was scolded for cutting into the bottom line Time to follow more closely.

Randolph didn't have a direct chance to score. Liu Xiu advanced halftime and didn't pass the ball to Derek Anderson, choosing a singles breakthrough!
Arenas was passed by Liu Xiuna's breakthrough relying on brute force and unexpected ability to stop and change direction, and Arenas continued to chase and defend normally.

The teammates quickly got used to Arenas' defensive characteristics of accepting the reality of being undefendable but actively defending and never giving up. Liu Xiu rushed to close range, Kwame Brown made up for it, Liu Xiu shot the ball immediately, Lan Dorff made an empty layup!

It's still Kwame Brown who hit it!
With Kwame Brown's height, wingspan, bounce, and defensive awareness, he has the ability to block Liu Xiu and then cover Randolph with this ball. He may even block shots and make Liu Xiu's breakthrough useless. .

But at this moment, Kwame Brown seemed to have become Heywood, purely using his physical fitness and "positivity" to supplement the defense, but if he blocked him, he couldn't care about the back.

63 to 58, the Trail Blazers once again opened the point difference to 5 points.

But immediately after, Arenas took advantage of the three-point threat just now, and when Liu Xiu pressed ahead of time, he made a horizontal pull, changed direction, made an emergency stop and then changed direction, went straight to the inside line, and defended in the middle of Travis Outlaw When Travis Outlaw's forearm hits Arenas' hand, Arenas has already thrown the ball...The referee whistles, and Travis Outlaw hits a foul .

Going to the free throw line, Arenas also made a free throw!

61 to 63, while Arenas' personal score increased to 26 points, he once again helped the Wizards narrow the point difference to 1 goal to tie or even overtake!

When it came time for the Trail Blazers to attack, Randolph caught the ball and passed it to Tianzun, and Tianzun caught the ball and took two points...no goal!
Arenas' offensive threat has been raised to the extreme. A breakthrough attracted outside pincers and inside defensive moves. He distributed the ball to Stackhouse on the sideline. Stackhouse caught the ball and made a three-pointer...Go in!
64比63，1分40秒的时间，奇才队打出了一波9比4，反超比分！
It came so suddenly that the Blazers didn't even have the time to call a timeout.

When Maurice Cheeks wanted to call a timeout, he held back when he saw the picture of Liu Xiu calmly receiving the serve.

Calling a timeout now means being stopped directly, which is a huge blow to morale.

Arenas and Stackhouse, two waves, this wave of consecutive three-pointers is too exaggerated.

But if it is not called a timeout, it is a gamble. If you enter, it is naturally very good, and you can withstand the pressure.

But if this attack misses, then the chance to call a timeout is gone, and the opponent may hit another ball!It could really collapse!
