Healing Basketball

Chapter 301 301. This is a difficult decision
If there is only Yinjiao Dawang, the buckle is meaningless this time.

But with Ratliff, it's completely different. It's still a big defensive player who gets dunked.

Liu Xiu pulled a bow towards the basket after landing, and the fans boos broke out!

Kick off!

Fans who often watch Liu Xiu's live broadcast in front of the TV found that Liu Xiu's new season seems to have become more violent!
Before Liu Xiu was said to be violent, he was referring to people, not playing football.

He has several iconic dunks, but that is because he has good timing and excellent physical fitness, but his running and jumping ability is not good.

But the new season seems to be different.

The one chasing James, and this dunk, are obviously different.

Seems to jump higher and faster!

This is not an illusion.

Liu Xiu's bounce has risen to 85. Compared with the bounce that can be dunked when he was in his early 70s when he first entered the NBA, there has been an earth-shaking change.

But this time the dunk was successful, thanks to the talent of 'jet'!
'Shooting against opponents taller than you...'

Unexpectedly, taking off and dunking against the inside line can also be regarded as shooting against an opponent higher than himself.

Thanks to the bullet speed being temporarily increased to 91, otherwise Ratliff would have made up the cap. Ratliff's bullet speed + wingspan + defense awareness + blocking sense are too strong.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Mavericks attack.

Terry aggressively advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Xiu quickly posted it.

Terry pulled to get rid of it, and Liu Xiu clung to him tightly, giving enough confrontation and pressure, and there was no foul move!
Terry adapted to the defense under the new regulations, Liu Xiu not only adapted, but also really defended effectively!
There was no chance for Terry to go inside from the outside line, and Liu Xiu's confrontation still had an impact on Terry's start.

When Terry rushed to the middle distance to get rid of Liu Xiu, Kwame Brown had moved to a suitable position at close range and did not make a save, but a defensive threat formed.

Terry pulls up for a jump shot from a big step inside the free throw line...

Miss!

Randolph overwhelmed Ratliff for a defensive rebound.

Liu Xiu catches the ball and advances to the frontcourt, and wants to continue to play Terry. How happy!This time, hit with your back!

But Terry has calmed down and went to follow Ruben Patterson. Liu Xiu glanced at Terry regretfully, focusing on dealing with the former Jordan successor in front of him.

Finley is very confident...he was broken by Liu Xiu's quick horizontal pull in front of his body!

Finley was caught off guard, and stretched out his hand in a panic. The referee whistled, and the foul was drawn!

Back to the table, the Blazers continue to attack!

Finley can't believe he can't keep up with Liu Xiu!
Last season, he was the best defense against Liu Xiu by the Mavericks. He has sufficient mobility, rich experience, and excellent height and wingspan.

Liu Xiu received the serve and continued to attack, while Finley concentrated all his attention on defense... Liu Xiu's body changed direction and quickly pulled horizontally to accelerate past!

This time Finley was very focused on defense, he didn't reach out blindly, turned around to catch up, but he couldn't catch up, the speed gap was obvious, and he couldn't even interfere with Liu Xiu's emergency stop jump shot.

But Finley didn't believe that he couldn't defend, his teammates believed it, Ratliff expanded to cover the defense, Liu Xiu scored the ball!

Ratliff emptied Randolph's mid-range shot, but Randolph still chose to cut to close range with a mid-range shot.

After receiving the ball, Randolph slapped the ball and jumped, and his skillful face-up footsteps swayed Nowitzki, and he got up and made a layup.

Nowitzki's other defenses are quite poor, except for the frame protection. At the peak of his athletic ability, he has just reached a good level of comprehensive defense by relying on one-handed frame protection.

But to deal with Randolph attacking the frame, isn't it embarrassing.

But this is not to blame Nowitzki's poor defense, nor to blame Ratliff for missing people.

It's not even Finley's failure to defend, but Liu Xiu's athletic ability has improved so much!

For a player with beastly physical fitness like James, there is no difference between top-notch speed and just top 90 speed.

But for Finley, who has a speed of 87 and was just enough to face Liu Xiu last season, Liu Xiu's speed has improved from first-class to top, the difference is too big!

Unexpectedly, the muscle lines of the second grade came out, and the athletic ability has improved so much!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Mavericks attack.

The Mavericks players put away their surprise, failed to defend in two rounds, and fell behind 0 to 4. The best way to deal with this situation is of course to score.

Burning with raging anger, Terry continued to attack with the ball!

Facing Liu Xiu's defense, Terry continued to dribble the ball under the crotch.

Liu Xiu stepped on small steps and didn't move easily. Being at a disadvantage in speed, he didn't think about defending Terry alone, just give him the limit that should be given.

Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't respond, Terry accelerated towards the right after dribbling the ball under his crotch!
Only then did Liu Xiu move, and the breakthrough space was already occupied by Terry, but Liu Xiu didn't panic at all, and just let Terry go on the flank as much as possible.

Terry didn't break through, grabbed the ball, stepped back, and returned to the three-point line!
After Terry grabbed the ball, Liu Xiu immediately judged that Terry was going to retreat, rushed forward in time, took off and reached out...

Terry stepped back to face the defense and took off, leaned back to avoid Liu Xiu's interference, and made a three-pointer...in!
Terry ran back to the backfield with his arms outstretched, and the Jets started!

The atmosphere that had been suppressed for a while was ignited by Terry!
Both Nowitzki and Ratliff gave Terry high fives after retreating back.

Terry's three-pointer boosted morale, no weaker than Liu Xiu's dunk!
After receiving the serve, Liu Xiu took a deep breath and moved forward.

It's not the first time Terry has been beaten like this. Terry also encountered it when he was playing for the Eagles, and he was already prepared.

But when he was really beaten, he would still be irritable.

But this took away the fluttering emotions brought about by his first two goals.

It doesn't matter if you play the Cavaliers or the Warriors.

It's the Mavericks!
Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and when he calmed down, he was keenly aware of the reason why the offense was so smooth in the first two rounds - the combination of Terry + Finley's backcourt defense slowed down.

The Mavericks probably didn't think it would be a hindrance at the beginning. They didn't expect him to deal with Finley so easily, so they arranged such a starting lineup.

This time period must be seized!

Facing Finley's defense, Liu Xiu continued to break through in singles!

The Mavericks were already prepared and contracted the flanking attack in time. Randolph responded to Liu Xiu's pass, Nowitzki topped and Josh Howard flanked.

Rahim responds to Randolph, catches and jumps from the left baseline...the opportunity is very good, but unfortunately he didn't make it.

Nowitzki protected the defensive rebound and it was the Mavericks' turn to attack. Finley responded and made a high jumper!
5 to 4, the Mavericks lead by 1 point!
The Mavericks' offense is very fierce!Much stronger than when they played against each other last season!

At the beginning, the Trail Blazers seemed to suppress the Mavericks. In fact, Terry missed the first attack, and there was no real suppression at all.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu reacted quickly, got out of that illusion in time, made good use of the time period when the opponent's back line alone defense could hardly affect him, and led the team to launch an attack.

This 'illusion' was not without its benefits. Liu Xiu dunked the opponent's twin towers at the beginning, which boosted the confidence of his teammates. Facing the strong counterattack of the Mavericks, he did not feel afraid.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu continued to break through.

It was Raheem who responded, this time Raheem missed the shot, caught the ball and took two steps to the left of the three-second zone, flew up and made a layup!
6 to 5, the Blazers regained the lead by 1 point.

When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki ran to receive the ball, but he didn't have a chance to turn around and shoot when he received the ball. He didn't get rid of Kwame Brown's defense. Kwame Brown's athletic ability is leveraged.

But Kwame-Brown's outside defense against Nowitzki's face-to-face singles is too difficult. Nowitzki successfully used the rhythm to go off the line and break through, and entered the three-second zone to pick a basket... a little too strong, and he didn't make it!
Raheem protects the defensive rebound.

Nowitzki is having fun, and he can pass a pie-eating ball to Ratliff with this ball.

But it showed that the Mavericks actually played with ease.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too sharp. The opponent didn't score a goal, and Liu Xiu felt the pressure from some details.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, after a few rounds, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Randolph, and he went around the baseline without the ball.

The first point of contact appeared again at Raheem, but Raheem was almost intercepted when he received the ball.

A small defensive trap for the Mavericks - Terry goes to block!

Fortunately, Raheem has rich experience. He raised the ball to the front of his chin in the first time without the ball, and he can shoot at any time.

Terry rushed to no avail, and stood in front of Raheem, as if he would fall if he dared to touch it.

Raheem stopped the ball briefly, and the Mavericks' defense at other positions also began to move. His passing line was about to be blocked, and he quickly passed the ball to Ruben Patterson.

The Mavericks switched defenses very quickly, and Ruben Patterson was blocked by Finley as soon as he received the ball.

Ruben Patterson didn't foolishly shoot against the defense either. When Finley was still standing still when receiving the ball, Ruben Patterson chose to break through and throw a shot outside the three-second zone...Miss!
but!

Kwame Brown jumps high and presses the ball that bounces in his direction straight back to the basket!

As the butcher said, you must be brave to grab offensive rebounds, don't be afraid of buttery hands, and don't be afraid of being intercepted.

If you are worried about buttery hands, or if you fail the basic passing skills and are easy to be cut off, then just press the ball back.

Kwame Brown suddenly realized: You are right!

8 to 5, the Blazers lead by 3 points!
But looking back, Nowitzki singled Kwame Brown face-to-face at close range, swayed Kwame Brown with a fake move, bullied and pushed the ball in with one hand, and caused Kwame Brown to foul. Get to the free throw line.

Nowitzki also made an extra penalty, and the Mavericks tied the score!
The coaches of both teams had bad expressions.

Let's not talk about the mad scientist side.

For the Trail Blazers, they chatted with Liu Xiu about tonight's game this morning. After talking about one thing, they were very worried-the Mavericks' infinite singles.

If the Mavericks really play as a team, the Trail Blazers actually have a good chance of winning. The Mavericks have changed their outside core, and it will be difficult to get it done without a month or two of actual combat. After all, Nash has played as a starter for 6 years, and the Mavericks' team play has long been fixed.

But it takes turns to play singles... In the second round of the playoffs last season, the Mavericks played unlimited singles and beat the Timberwolves!

It is worth mentioning that in that series, the old Nelson suffered a recurrence of his back injury and was unable to coach on the spot. It was the trainee assistant Jr. who temporarily led a round of the series.

Liu Xiu on the field also found out that the opponent started playing again and again.

After catching the ball and advancing to the frontcourt, he felt tremendous pressure!
The opponent's defensive cooperation is very good. Even if the guard combination of Terry + Finley made mistakes, they all adjusted well under the leadership of Ratliff, a top defensive center, to maximize the defensive effect.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Liu Xiu quickly reviewed the previous rounds, opened her eyes, gestured firmly to her teammates, and made a firm move—break through!
The Mavericks began to rotate defensively. Finley turned around after being passed and chased after him. He was ready to switch defenses according to the command of the defensive boss Ratliff...but!
Liu Xiu rushed to the free throw line and made a jump shot... Ratliff pounced, and Liu Xiu shot very resolutely!
'Talent: Jet' is triggered, and Liu Xiu's bullet speed has been improved!
Ratliff was a little short of blocking the shot, but Liu Xiu successfully threw the ball.

The ball flew over Ratliff's head... and hit the rim's neck with a "bang" sound, with great force...but Kwame Brown completed the dunk again!

A genius who plays by instinct - Kwame Brown!

The teammates actually didn't understand what gesture Liu Xiu made. They didn't have the tactical gesture of '2' and '4'.

But Kwame Brown didn't care about tactical gestures. He thought very simple-cut in to eat when the basket was empty, and rush for teammates to shoot.

Liu Xiu's idea of ​​playing this way is also very simple--teammates are not good at responding to long-range shots.

In order not to let his teammates hit the iron too much and affect his confidence, he made a difficult and selfless decision-he will hit the iron!
The power of the west coast... I can't suppress it!
