Healing Basketball

Chapter 367 367. Unstoppable!

At 4 minutes and 27 seconds into the second quarter, the 76ers called a timeout early.

In nearly 4 and a half minutes, the 76ers only scored 8 points!
艾弗森3投1中外加罚球2中2拿到4分1助攻，给科沃尔喂了个踩着三分线的长两分，还有两分是马克-杰克逊趁着夸梅-布朗补防艾弗森补扣拿下的。

The Trail Blazers scored 11 points during this time!
这波11比8过后，开拓者队将比分打成了42比35，领先优势扩大到7分。

Rahim took advantage of the opponent's lack of single-defense strikers to attract flanking attacks. Liu Xiu took the opportunity to make 3 of 2 shots. One of the goals was a three-pointer, plus 2 of 1 free throws to get 6 points. The score increased to 16 points!
Entering the timeout, when Liu Xiu walked back to the bench, he saw that the score comparison between him and Iverson in the task was 16 to 11, and the lead expanded to 5 points, which was a bit low.

Soaring points, increasing the difficulty of scoring for the opponent is tantamount to creating an advantage for oneself.

The ability to make good use of teammates is itself part of strength.

However, after gaining an advantage, Liu Xiu still dare not be careless, and the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers also dare not be careless.

Maurice Cheeks said after making lineup adjustments and tactical arrangements: "We must pay attention to Iverson's passing. He will definitely make good use of our defensive strategy. Our defensive rotation must be fast, no matter who is receiving the ball on the opposite side. , we all have to appear in front of the receivers as soon as possible to put pressure on them..."

...

Back from the timeout, the two teams made personnel adjustments.

76ers: Iverson, Iguodala, Korver, Mark Jackson, Dalembert.

Trail Blazers: Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, McDyess.

The 76ers attacked and Iverson advanced with the ball.

The extrajudicial lunatic is ready to fight. After a few rounds, he already has some experience in single defense. He knows how to cooperate with his teammates and how to use his teammates' assistance and supplementary defense.

McDyess and Liu Xiu, one inside and one outside, are ready to help outlaw fanatics at any time. At the same time, they must make good use of the mobility of this lineup to guard against the opponent's wing pitchers and cake eaters.

However, the lineup of the 76ers made Liu Xiu and his teammates feel that something was wrong...

After advancing to the frontcourt, Iverson began to attack in singles.

The extrajudicial fanatic defended very hard and defended well. He did what the team needed him to do, and even better.

Liu Xiu and McDyess also did a good job of supplementary defense. During the timeout, Jeff Bzdelik improved Liu Xiu's defensive strategy, doing a better job in assisting defense and cutting off passes.

But Iverson didn't care about this, he jumped to the bottom line on the right side, turned sideways and changed direction, took two steps with his left foot on the right sideline of the three-second zone, jumped up like a spring on his foot, and quickly smashed the ball into the basket frame!
The dunk was successful, and Iverson hit the chest with Iguodala and high-fived Korver when he retreated. The faces of the two young teammates were full of admiration.

The Trail Blazers' defensive adjustment is very good, and he appreciates the second-year high school student, the extrajudicial fanatic, but he is Iverson!

Will he be afraid of this?

Can this stop him?
Dalembert on the other side of the three-second zone has better conditions to catch the ball and play high. Iguodala in the high position also has the conditions to catch the ball and make a shot. Iverson doesn't care. He felt that he would not be as good as himself if he had any chance!
Iverson's arrogance and conceit, the Trail Blazers players can see what Iverson is thinking without much thought, and clearly feel Iverson's arrogance.

In the transition from offense to defense, Flying Squirrel advanced to the frontcourt and met Iguodala's defense, and passed the ball to Liu Xiu.

Iverson, who was defending Liu Xiu, glanced at Little Flying Squirrel unexpectedly, and immediately threw himself into defense.

Iverson defended very hard, and then was pulled by Liu Xiu with an early change of direction.

Korver made up the defense in time, but Liu Xiu's speed was obviously faster than he expected!
Korver couldn't make up enough, so he had to keep retreating. His original purpose was to make up the defense and block the opponent's breakthrough. Now it has actually become a single defense. Korver couldn't keep up with Liu Xiu's footsteps and dragged the middle. The back leg of the inside teammate who made up for it, Liu Xiu went straight to the inside and wiped the board and made a layup!

Liu Xiu retreated quickly after scoring a goal, and celebrated with a high-five with Little Flying Squirrel on the way.

Good luck with this ball!Relying on the bonus of starting at full speed when the "butterfly step" changed direction and broke through, Korver was caught off guard and disrupted the opponent's defensive rhythm.

But he knew that it would not be so simple in the future!

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson continued to attack, but he passed the ball this time, and Mark Jackson vacated the bottom line. He received the pass from Iverson...the opportunity was very good, but it was a pity that Randolph's fierce confrontation was felt by the backhand Influence, iron!

Liu Xiu protects the defensive rebounds. This time the defense is confirmed. Korver and Mark Jackson are the targets that Iverson is willing to pass the ball to. Iguodala and Dalembert are not at least for now.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Iguodala's defense.

"Andre Iguodala, 21 years old, 198 cm, 94 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 72, offense 68, defense 79, passing 76... Averaged 8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game... "

It was worth a hammer, but Liu Xiu still passed the ball to Little Flying Squirrel.

In the last round, Flying Squirrel passed the ball to Liu Xiu, and the two understood each other's meaning without verbal communication.

The 76ers team has poor offensive ability and relies on Iverson alone, but there must be a reason for them to switch to this lineup-good defense!

The 76ers' rotation was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the Trail Blazers, but Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel immediately found a way to deal with it.

Isn't Iverson great?He defends whoever is the main attacker!
After Liu Xiu passed the ball to Flying Squirrel, he immediately started assisting the running position, and switched to the double point guard play with Flying Squirrel.

Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene were all excited!
The Warden + Little Flying Squirrel confronted the answer!

...

The defense above the free throw line cannot reach out and touch the player with the ball at will, and Iverson's defense was slashed.

But Iverson's offensive end has reached a new peak!
As far as scoring is concerned, no one in the NBA is better than Iverson this season!Even sane Trail Blazers fans confirm this.

Facing the defense of the Arrowhead, Liu Xiu and McDyess, Iverson performed violently!

从暂停回来后9投4中，加上4中3的罚球，狂飙11分！算上前4分多钟的4分，单节拿到15分3助攻！

Under the leadership of Iverson, the 76ers scored 29 points in the second quarter!
Iverson scored 22 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in the half!

Iverson's performance can only be described as terrible, because the 76ers focus on defense at this stage!

For Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu scored 7 points from that breakthrough layup, and Little Flying Squirrel scored 5 points. Although the two scored 12 points at this stage, the combined score was 1 point more than Iverson, but in reality The above two combined and Iverson did not have the upper hand, but they have a better helper - the butcher!
The 76ers sent Mark Jackson and Dalembert inside. Randolph could not score in singles, but he calmly chose to help the two guards create singles opportunities. Teammates are emboldened when they make waves.

But even so, the point difference to 7 points was narrowed.

后面这7分半钟时间，开拓者队只拿到了17分，第二节开拓者队和76人队打出了28比29的比分。

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the 59ers by 56 points 76 to 3 and entered the intermission.

...

刘秀首节10分、第二节开局拿到6分、后面对飙阶段拿到7分，半场18投8中，其中三分球5中2，加上6中5的罚球，拿到23分，16比11领先的开局，差点在7分半钟时间里被反超……

Although Liu Xiu didn't tell his teammates that he was going to score points with Iverson, but Liu Xiu attacked so fiercely, his teammates knew Liu Xiu's intention to compete with Iverson without anyone telling him.

The teammates could see Liu Xiu's strength disadvantage in the face of Iverson, but after entering the intermission, the teammates did not feel frustrated from Liu Xiu, they only saw Liu Xiu's strength from the moment he entered the player tunnel. He actively communicated with his teammates on defense, and when everyone was resting in the locker room or went shopping in the business district to relieve their tense nerves, Liu Xiu and the coaches chatted and discussed the game.

The teammates had complicated emotions. They first provided the warden with a wave of healing value. They thought that Liu Xiu was a lazy man who squandered his talents, but just like this, this guy was still the leader of the new generation.

But Liu Xiu is never afraid when facing strong opponents. Even in the second round of last season's playoffs against the four kings of the Lakers, he still has passionate enthusiasm... The feeling of admiration is burning!
...

Come back from the halftime break and start the third quarter.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.

The 76ers sent a combination of Willie Green, Iverson, Iguodala, Mark Jackson, and Dalembert.

Willie Green advanced to the frontcourt, and the ball-holding task was completed.

Iverson received the ball and attacked, and Liu Xiu, who was defending, felt amazing. The feeling of a real match is still very different from seeing the playing time and ball possession rate. These two data of Iverson are exaggerated, but they seem even more exaggerated.

When Liu Xiu was playing against Kobe, he was able to launch more than a dozen attacks in one quarter like Iverson, which is impossible at ordinary times. He has to slow down for two or three shots. Even if he eats nutritious food, he must have rest time. .

Iverson continued to suppress the rhythm of offense and defense, and it took a few seconds. When there were 9 seconds left in the attack time, he began to play singles, and the cross step changed to a breakthrough!
This time Iverson took the initiative to press up on the outsider, the outsider hurriedly retreated half a step but quickly pressed up again, Iverson made a quick stop and made a fake move but actually pulled the ball with his right hand 360 degrees to the right Turn around and playfully pass the outlaw lunatic!
Payton made up for it in the first place, and Iverson performed the butterfly step again, pulled the ball sharply to change direction, accelerated to the bottom line and turned left to attack the frame... Raheem and Kwame Brown's double attack!
Iverson is very familiar with this situation. He jumped up and passed the ball to Iguodala. Iguodala caught the ball and took a two-point shot... Iron!
