Healing Basketball

Chapter 302 302. Am I just a Tool Man?
10 to 8, the Trail Blazers continued to maintain the lead.

When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki felt that it was coming, and his position was raised to the left of the free throw line.

This Kwame Brown is even more uncomfortable.

This area is the 'NO-handcheck' area!Can't get started!

Nowitzki received the ball for singles, pulled horizontally and changed direction.

Kwame Brown is not retreating, it is easy to foul when pressed, and it is a dilemma.

Nowitzki seized the opportunity and used his excellent sense of rhythm to pass Kwame Brown. He took a step outside the three-second zone, and facing Raheem who was defending, he stopped and shot a jumper...hit!
Randolph, Karatliff, and Liu Xiubai actively contracted... It can't be said that it was in vain, and Randolph picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu is convinced. Nowitzki is not a power forward at all. He has a proper shooting guard style of play. It was not so similar last season. After the rule changes this season, he is completely liberated.

Coming to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu focused on the offense.

Finley chose to expand outward this time, oppressing Liu Xiu with his body.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to fight against Finley, who was pressing up, and then withdrew. Finley continued to press on Liu Xiu. Lost Finley!
Liu Xiu broke into the inside, Ratliff expanded, Liu Xiu firmly broke into the half-step inside the free throw line, and made a jump shot from the middle...

The ball flew past the fingertips of Ratliff, who was jumping forward, almost, but the difference was thousands of miles away!

Josh Howard retracted to the basket and stuck on the guard with Nowitzki, feeling very guilty. The three frontcourts of the Trail Blazers are scary just looking at them.

But they were worried for nothing, Liu Xiu made a quick stop and hit a jumper inside the free throw line!

Liu Xiu once again demonstrated a talent that even the system cannot digitize—the use of her own abilities!
The bouncing +3 and projectile speed +3 bonuses of the talent 'Jet' were perfectly utilized by him.

The opponents present, except Terry, who is only 188 in shoes, is a little shorter than Liu Xiu, and the other opponents are taller than Liu Xiu. Anyone who hits can turn on the jet mode!

Therefore, the copied talent matches the target being copied. Terry Langbi's style of play, with his talent, must have the same wave to exert the greatest effect!
Liu Xiu made a mid-range shot in singles, and when Finley singled out + Ratliff expanded to make up defenses, his consecutive singles started to be accurate, which caught the Mavericks by surprise.

As far as the Mavericks' defensive system is concerned, if the opponent can make a shot, if the opponent can make a shot, they have no way to do more restrictions!
A few more rounds passed, and Josh Howard made a close-range throw in singles, and the score came to 15-16.

When it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Liu Xiu felt that it was time to lick, but he had to hold on, his expression couldn't reveal the exhaustion of several rounds of singles in a row, hold on, force it!

The opportunity is coming!

Josh Howard on the flank moved up early to pinch, Liu Xiu broke into the three-point line and lobbed the ball, Raheem received the ball from the low post on the left, Nowitzki blocked it, Ratliff had to defend the interference, Raheem Mu pressed up a step and made a second pass to Randolph.

Randolph made a short-range jumper from the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone!
The Mavericks call a timeout!

18 to 15, the Blazers lead by 3 points!
……

While eating candied haws, Liu Xiu listened to the discussions of the coaches... her body quickly recovered to a state of full strength.

The energy consumed in half a quarter is actually not that great. The physical energy of 91 is allocated reasonably, and there is no problem in maintaining continuous output for 35 minutes of playing time.

But for several rounds in a row, the extremely exhausted physical strength will have obvious physical effects in a short period of time. There are a variety of snacks in the warehouse, and you can eat them when you want to eat them. I still prefer candied haws. The memories of the same year that can be enticed... Trying to ensure the strongest state output is one of the guarantees for his super-level performance.

The morale was full at the beginning of the dunk, and then led the team with 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the half quarter to continue the morale.

Although this performance is only 3 points ahead, but in terms of the strength shown by the Mavericks, this is already very good.

Sure enough, there is a big difference between watching the battle report and watching the video, and the actual situation of the fight.

The Suns played against the Mavericks. Seeing the Suns playing so freely and recklessly, now it seems that the Mavericks can't do it... Liu Xiu and the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers raised their estimates of the Suns' strength by a few points.

Perhaps there is a reason why Nash went berserk against his former team, but for a team that can win the regular season championship, Liu Xiu believes that the Suns should have the strength of last season's Pacers or Timberwolves in the regular season.

Knowing the specific situation is better than guessing blindly, and the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers will make adjustments according to the actual situation.

With sufficient manpower, they have made corresponding adjustments in each position. Whether they play well or not depends on their performance, and they just need to prepare as well as they can.

But there is one position that can't be helped-Nowitzki!
This Liu Xiu thought about it before, and interjected to suggest: "Coach, do you think it's okay to let the lunatics have a try?"

The outlaws sat at the end of the bench, eavesdropping on the arrangements of the coaching staff.

In the new season, his playing time is not too small, but the importance of playing timing has been reduced, and Raheem has taken on a more important role.

Hearing Liu Xiu's suggestion, the outlaws were so moved that they were about to cry!
"Even if he can't defend, it doesn't matter. He can't defend anyway. It can liberate Kwame and return to the basket, which can reduce Sharif's consumption. If it doesn't work, the madman is young and has good physical strength. It is also excellent to consume Nowitzki. .”

The grief and indignation of the extrajudicial lunatic: I'm just a tool man?
……

The Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu, Lynch Hunter, Raheem, Outlaws, and Randolph.

The coaching staff adopted Liu Xiu's opinion. The extrajudicial fanatic was very sad and angry, but he could play early, so he went to follow Nowitzki.

Liu Xiu looked at the opposite side, and as he expected, the outside trio of Marquis Daniels, Jerry Stackhouse, and Josh Howard came on!
The inside line sent Nowitzki and Dampier.

The same is true for the opponent, the adjustment starts from the defensive end.

As expected.

The new regulations are of great help to the offense. They can make good use of the rule that the hands cannot be used in the area above the free throw line, and can definitely make the offense play out.

But after all, it was not long before the new rules were officially implemented, and the Suns had the sense of sight that a rule was specially customized for them. Other teams just started to change their framework, and the on-the-spot response was still the same, even for mad scientists.

The mad scientist is also desperate!As the general manager, he has already negotiated a five-year 5 million contract extension with Bill Duffy for Nash, but Cuban is unwilling to give this price.

Although he has been thinking about resigning since the summer, since he hasn't left yet, Old Nelson is still trying his best to make adjustments.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Mavericks attack, Nowitzki continues to attack in singles!

With 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the half quarter, Silver Horn King's performance was not lost to the warden.

Facing Nowitzki, who is known as the most scoring insider in the league, the outsider is under tremendous pressure.

But his actions were extremely calm. The warden said: You can fail to make shots or fail to defend, but you can't fight in a panic. You have to let teammates who want to help help you according to their habits.

Nowitzki made a fake move, and the outlaw man didn't move, he didn't reach out blindly, Nowitzki lifted the ball and jumped... Nowitzki's feet were off the ground, paying attention to this point, the outlaw maniac quickly Jump up!
Nowitzki, who jumped up, saw the outlaw lunatic jumping up and raising his hands, swearing, and temporarily leaning back... Not only did he lose his strength, but he also lost his direction.

Nowitzki faced the outlaw lunatics and made a fadeaway jumper!

Randolph protects the defensive rebound.

Liu Xiu catches the ball and advances to the frontcourt, where he is caught by Stackhouse.

Liu Xiu changed direction forward and successfully broke through the space, but failed to get rid of Stackhouse.

"Jerry Stackhouse...speed 90, strength 88..."

The Feitian player produced by North Carolina has excellent athletic ability at the age of 30!

Liu Xiuqiang broke into the free throw line, and Stackhouse began to hold Liu Xiu to make up for the gap in strength.

Junior Jordan's defensive moves are wild!

The fans at the scene saw a completely different defensive style from Finley, and started cheering and screaming loudly!
Liu Xiu turned and leaned against Stackhouse, protecting the ball to prevent it from being intercepted.

Stackhouse sprayed: "Why didn't you break through? Are you afraid of me?"

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Rahim who was responding, squinted his eyes and glanced up, then turned around and cut inside.

After receiving the ball, Raheem followed Liu Xiu's cut-in route and rushed forward. Seeing that Nowitzki couldn't keep up, Stackhouse, who was chasing Liu Xiu, pressed up to defend Raheem.

Nowitzki's ability is not good enough, the defensive awareness is there, and the defense is changed immediately.

Rahim passed back to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu received the ball from the bottom line on the right side in the middle distance, and Nowitzki just switched defenses after Liu Xiu received the ball.

Liu Xiu received the ball with his back to the basket and took a step towards the sideline. Nowitzki followed closely. Liu Xiu turned over and took off. Nowitzki was about to continue to press on it. The leg, jumped up and kicked to that position, and the movement of pressing it up subconsciously restrained the strength.

Liu Xiu turned over at a 30-degree angle on the right and leaned back to hit a two-pointer!
Nowitzki turned to the baseline referee and complained, "He's going to kick me!"

The bottom line referee waved his hands and ignored him. He was also surprised by Liu Xiu's leg stretching just now.

a little shameless...

But he was a professional, the rules didn't say it couldn't be done, and he didn't blow the whistle.

Nowitzki didn't get entangled and ran to the frontcourt.

Although the relationship is good, Nowitzki knows that if he argues with Liu Xiu during the game, he will definitely be more angry.

Just now Stackhouse was almost ignited by Liu Xiu's eyes.

But you have to find an outlet for your emotions.

After venting for a while, Nowitzki ran to the frontcourt, leaning against the outlaw lunatic to ask for the ball in singles!

After his teammates pulled away, Nowitzki turned around and faced the outlaws in a three-threat posture... At this time, the problem came.

Nowitzki feels that he has shooting opportunities everywhere, but he can't start anywhere!
