Healing Basketball

245 Chapter 245. Assists come too easily
Liu Xiu ran out from the player tunnel, and the cheers on the scene were louder and louder.

After not showing their faces in public for a few days, the enthusiasm of the Trail Blazers fans has not declined, but has become more and more violent!
Moved!

Legend has it that their warden actually trained hard for the playoffs!
I heard it was practicing fadeaway jump shots?

Although few people believed it, there was some news that a serious player should have.

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers still played regardless of the starters and substitutes. When the butcher finished, there was another burst of crazy cheers.

After the players of the two teams entered the arena, the cheerleaders performed another round of performances, and NBA vice president Adam Joke came out to present the Pacific Division regular season championship banner to the Trail Blazers.

The banner of the division champion was raised, and the fans cheered again.

Unlike the Lakers and Celtics, who have so many division championship flags that they hang on the court, for most teams, this is already a very rare honor.

At least half of the teams have never touched the conference championship banner.

It may be possible to make it to the playoffs, it may reach the second round, it may be upset to reach the division finals, but the division champion in the regular season must maintain a strong competitiveness in the long season.

The players of the two teams did not have any greetings before the game. The Grizzlies players wanted to say hello, but they felt murderous eyes before they passed the center line.

Amidst the uncontrollable cheers of the fans at the scene, the pre-match preparation time was almost over, and the referee informed the two teams to start the game.

Gasol is still thinking about playing in the playoffs for the first time, and going to say hello to the opponent, everyone is a playoff player.

He walked over from the technical table, and when he was approaching the opposite bench, he heard the second old butcher of the prison team mobilize before the game:
"Do you know that the group of playoff rookies on the opposite side said that we are the easiest opponent to beat in the first round!"

"They humiliate the warden, saying that the warden is useless to them."

"It's time for them to suffer..."

Gasol was about to blow up on the spot, and he was about to retort, "When did we say that?"... A group of people on the other side turned their heads to stare at him like a roe deer, but he didn't move his upper body, and walked back to the other side of the technical table with sliding steps. side.

Is Randolph talking nonsense when he mobilizes the emotions of his teammates?No, the Grizzlies said in an interview that compared to other teams, they have more advantages against the Trail Blazers; their general manager personally said that they have white chocolate... ...He was just exaggerating.

The playoffs are about to be played, and everyone is very excited. Coupled with the fire that Randolph ignited, the enthusiasm and competitive spirit of the teammates exploded!
……

The game is about to start, and the referee notifies the two teams to start.

Liu Xiu rubbed chalk in front of the technical stage and chose the duplicating objects, Zach Randolph and Mike Miller.

"The great magician:
...

Opponent: Mike Miller, characteristic conversion talent: catch and shoot expert, bonus effect: mid-range and long-range shots within 2 seconds of catching the ball, if you shoot directly without dribbling, the shooting speed will be accelerated by 25% without affecting the shooting itself; mid- and long-range fixed-point catch When the ball is shot, if it is in the neutral position and has time to make a complete shooting action, it must enter a hot state. "

The Grizzlies sent a starting combination of Jason Williams, Mike Miller, James Posey, Lorenzen Wright and Gasol.

The Trail Blazers sent a starting combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Miles, Randolph, and McDyess.

Looking at Gasol, Randolph's head got big. Don't look at his yelling just now, the Trail Blazers are the most uncertain about matchups, but he is the one.

Against Gasol, his offensive power has been weakened by more than half!
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Lorenzen Wright narrowly beat Miles to win the jump ball, and the series between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies began!
The Trail Blazers directly started hand-to-hand combat!

Randolph, relying on his excellent speed and agility, entangled with Lorenzen Wright who won the jump ball; McDyess fought fiercely with Gasol; Miles and Ruben Patterson also Hand-to-hand defense against Mike Miller and James Posey.

White Chocolate was the worst, encountering Liu Xiu's oppressive defense!
White Chocolate can feel that this rookie's defense has improved significantly compared to two months ago!

Fortunately, the white chocolate is very stable now, and the ball was lobbed to Gasol, who was entangled by McDyess and came to the free throw line.

Gasol lifted the ball, bullied McDyess with his height and wingspan, and passed the ball to Lorenzen Wright on the wing.

Lorenzen Wright just gave Mike Miller a pick-and-roll, Randolph switched to Mike Miller, Ruben Patterson shrunk, Lorenzen Wright was empty, and the left side of the three-second zone received the ball and made a mid-range shot shot...

Originally, the mid-range shot was not good, and the hit rate of 34% was just enough to shoot. In the first two seconds, he was still fighting with Randolph, but now the mid-range shot is hard!

Gasol rushed to no avail, and Ruben Patterson protected the defensive rebound.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

When Randolph reached the frontcourt, he squeezed Gasol for a position at the basket.

There was a question mark on Gasol's head, but watching Liu Xiu receive the serve and advance at full speed, Gasol had to compete with Randolph for position.

White Chocolate's defense was trained very steadily by Hubie Brown, averaging a career-low steals per game and a career-high defensive efficiency, steadily blocking Liu Xiu from beyond the three-point line.

Liu Xiu didn't stop, pulled horizontally, and changed direction to the right. Bai Chocolate followed steadily. Liu Xiu continued to pull a step to the right. blocked!
Liu Xiu speeds up in a diving style, and uses Miles' cover to break into the inside line!

Lorenzen Wright blocked one step inside the free throw line, and Gasol also took two steps up. Randolph, who was still fighting for the position just now, was almost thrown by the 'removal of the chair', and he didn't respond at all. What the hell is going on here.

Liu Xiu and McDyess reacted and made an alley-oop connection... McDyess took off vigorously and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The body movements of this dunk are very stretched, quite a bit of the demeanor of the "League's No. [-] Springer" back then.

Listening to the fans cheering for McDyess, Randolph who retreated was envious.

With the ball just now, his chances should be better, but he didn't react just now.

After retreating to the backcourt and waiting for Lorenzen Wright to come over, Randolph fought back with more rough moves!
This is the process of testing the referee's penalty scale. The referee did not blow the whistle, nor did he intend to warn. Randolph knew that it was not the end, so he could continue to probe.

The top arc oppresses Liu Xiu, who is defending White Chocolate, doing the same thing as Randolph.

White Chocolate is ready, take a step back and change direction to break through!

Failed to get rid of Liu Xiu!

Bai Chocolate was surprised to find that his speed advantage against Liu Xiu was gone, not only was it gone, it seemed that the rookie on the opposite side had a faster movement ability than him!
James Posey came to meet him, and Myers did a good job blocking James Posey's shot, but the breakthrough space was exposed, and he was still much worse than the outlaw lunatic in single defense.

But Randolph + McDyess did a good job supplementing defense.

Randolph blocked, McDyess interfered, and James Posey broke through to a close-range emergency stop jumper!

Liu Xiu, who received a step inside the free throw line, held Lorenzen Wright and triggered the 'rock-solid' trigger, which greatly reduced the impact of the jump caused by the block confrontation and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Grizzlies retreated quickly to avoid Liu Xiu's counterattack.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly!

They are also worried about the butcher being restrained by Gasol.

Morris Cheeks talked about this in an interview, saying that there is a way to deal with it.

This is how the Trail Blazers dealt with their strongest star Randolph being restrained by Gasol!

Not exactly subtle, but it looks to work!

However, this style of play definitely hurts others and hurts oneself. Anyone who knows the ball knows that in the iron-blooded battle, the end is to see which star can score more stably. Role players will be hard to count on...

As soon as the fans on the scene had new worries about their team, they saw Liu Xiu running without the ball and slipping to the baseline from the right side of the three-second zone to receive the ball and pass it straight to the center. Myers cut in from the center and was inside the free throw line. Received the ball in one step and took off directly, and scored two points by gliding and dunking.

Fans who knew the game felt slapped in the face, but they wanted to take the initiative to stick out the other side of the face to get hit!
Just as Randolph received the ball in the low post, Liu Xiu came out around the baseline, and Gasol couldn't help but make up for Liu Xiu who was around the baseline...

Fans are so underestimating their Warden!The warden beat the Grizzlies, and the threat got an N-fold increase!
The logo man and Mickey Mouse, the two general managers who refused Liu Xiu to join the team, were scored 52 points and 62 points by Liu Xiu respectively.

The Lakers players can face the game calmly, but the Grizzlies players can't!
The Lakers have Kobe who can compete with Liu Xiu, but the Grizzlies don't!

Hubie Brown was jumping and howling on the sidelines, and they all walked into the court, but the referee didn't blow his whistle, and even wanted to appease the old man.

This old coach with gray hair and wrinkled face, the referee was really afraid that a whistle would send the old man away.

Hubie Brown was genuinely annoyed.

He knew that there was such a mood in the team, and he repeatedly told the players not to pay too much attention to Liu Xiu on the defensive end, but looking at it now, his advice was in vain.

The Trail Blazers lead 4 to 0!

When it came time for the Grizzlies to attack and trail behind by 4 points, the defensive end was not calm, but Gasol was very calm on the offensive end, knowing that he needed to stand up and stabilize the situation at this time.

Gasol came to the left side of the three-second zone and leaned on McDyess to ask for the ball. McDyess defended very roughly, but Gasol had excellent low-post singles skills. He found the opportunity to turn around steadily, walked up the line, and took the initiative to stay away from the basket. One step, one jump, one shot...

The technology is good, but iron!
Randolph protects the defensive rebound!

He was consumed by McDyess when attacking, and was consumed by Randolph when defending in the past two rounds. Gasol felt nothing!
As for why Gasol didn't pull out to defend against McDyess, then the Grizzlies' inside defense would be useless!Which coach will point to Lorenzen Wright's rim guard?

The old coach Hubie Brown didn't jump again this time. He found a big problem-his team didn't have a qualified leader!
