Healing Basketball

Chapter 378. Chapter 378.
"Best Newcomer?: Lord of the Ages series of quests.

Goal 1: The host needs to have more rebounds than Emeka Okafor in this game.

Reward: Reward 1 healing value for every more than 1000 rebound. "

Is anyone currently discussing who is the most popular candidate for the 03 Best Rookie and the 04 Best Rookie?

no!
"Emeka Okafor, 22 years old, 208 cm, 113 kg, C/PF, ability rating 83, offense 79, defense 86... averaged 14.8 points, 11 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game... shooting percentage 43 percent, 58 percent from the free throw line..."

Liu Xiu looked at Okafor's player detection report again. He is a very good rookie, but it only meets people's expectations for a 22-year-old No. None of it matters.

The important thing is, what can't be compared, why is it better than rebounding?

For such a task, Liu Xiu didn't even think about it... He shook his head and discussed it with his teammates. If he could win three or five rebounds, he would be able to catch up with a brilliant performance against an opponent with a grudge and heal the opponent's player.

The teammates who had no interest in an opponent like the Bobcats immediately became excited when they heard that the warden was going to play with the rookie again.

……

The game is about to start, Liu Xiu copied his talent.

Teammates, Flying Squirrel, go; opponents, opponents like the Bobcats, of course pick the strongest copy-the second pick Okafor.

"...

Opponent: Emeka Okafor, matching degree 25, characteristic transformation talent: wall standing (residual blood), bonus effect: the host's awareness of the impact of offensive rebounds is improved. "

This talent is really... just a talent.

But there was still something to gain, Liu Xiu immediately told his teammates to prepare themselves.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Blazers played against the Bobcats at home.

Trail Blazers starting still, Bobcats starting: Blevin - Knight, Keith - Bogans, Gerald - Wallace, Okafor, Brezek.

Kwame Brown narrowly beat Okafor to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers went first!

The rookie's second place jump ball is basically on par with Kwame Brown!

Moreover, after losing the jump ball, he retreated to the defense immediately, and his style of play was positive...

With such a rookie, the prison team players are even more excited.

Payton advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Liu Xiu.

"Keith Bogans, 24 years old, 196 cm, 98 kg, SG/SF, ability rating 76, offense 67, defense 84... averaged 9.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game... shooting 38%..."

Liu Xiu is a second-round pick in the same class, in the same competition area in college, and played against him twice in college. He is not familiar with him. He is a defensive genius. He has been a defensive genius since college and NBA, but he lacks offensive ability extremely.

Another opponent with a height of 195+ centimeters and a weight of 95+ kilograms came to defend against him, and Liu Xiu was more motivated to complete the task of getting the healing value.

The more draws, the more opportunity to draw more speed cards!
It would be even better if the explosive acceleration, that is, the starting speed, can be improved. Let's see who dares to use such a tall defender to defend him...

Kwame Brown pulls out as soon as Liu Xiu catches the ball. Liu Xiu uses the cover to circle the post. Okafor expands to defend the pick-and-roll and stays one step inside the three-point line. After Liu Xiu circles the post, he shoots immediately!
Although there are tasks, the original plan still needs to be done as normal - facing the weak team, we must strike hard!Leveling on the court has to point to such an opponent.

Okafor didn't expect Liu Xiu to throw it like this, and although Liu Xiu threw it decisively, and the addition of three points + 1 within 3 second after the "General" pick-and-roll raised the three-pointer to 76, he didn't make it... But Okafor was pulled out by Liu Xiu. Raheem and Randolph rushed to grab the offensive rebound.

When Liu Xiu retreated to the defense, he quickly recalled the poor three-pointer after the pick-and-roll just now.

Although there is no condition to develop the ball-handling pick-and-roll ability during the season, mainly because there are no outside players who are good at this in the team, but the use of the "General" BUFF, he will find a way to develop it when he has time. There is no condition for complicated ones, and simple ones. The rush after the pick-and-roll, and the three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, the former has been practicing in actual combat, and the latter has also begun to do it in the middle of the season.

Offensive and defensive transition, Blevin Knight advanced to the frontcourt, facing Liu Xiu's defense, Blevin Knight chose to break through!
The speed is very fast, comparable to that of the over 30-year-old Flying Squirrel. Blevin Knight, who is at his peak, still has top-level cross-step dribbling skills. Liu Xiu was passed without any suspense.

Payton moved ahead and blocked Blevin Knight in time.

Blevin Knight points the ball to the wing, and Bogans catches the ball with a long two-point shot... Miss!
Okafor judged the landing point of the offensive rebound and moved it in place in time!

He averaged 3.8 offensive rebounds per game so far this season, ranking second in the league, comparable to Ben Wallace, second only to Zach Randolph's 4 offensive rebounds per game.

Relying on the precise judgment of his teammates, and the opponent's contempt for their big team... eh?What about contempt?
As soon as Okafor reached the point of the rebound, Randolph and Kwame Brown blocked Okafor, and Okafor was sandwiched left and right, watching Liu Xiu rush into the inside to get ahead of Gerald Wallace Take the rebound.

Needless to say, the Bobcats' defensive discipline is really good!
Okafor and Gerald Wallace rushed, and the two combined to score 5.8 offensive rebounds per game, which was a huge threat. Brezek led Brian Knight and Bogans to retreat. Cafu and Gerald Wallace can do it if they rush to grab it, but it's not too late for their excellent physical fitness to return.

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Payton and ran forward. He glanced at the opposite bench. Bernie Bickerstaff, the general manager and head coach of the Bobcats, focused on operating the team, building the lineup, building the system, and coaching. Capable and capable coaches, but none of them are top-notch, all-round weakened versions of Popovich or Larry Bird.

When the Trail Blazers were attacking, Payton gave the ball to Liu Xiu and asked Liu Xiu to practice the pick-and-roll and then shoot. Kwame Brown continued to pull out the pick-and-roll diligently.

This time it was not Okafor who came out with Kwame Brown, but Gerald Wallace!
Gerald Wallace switched to the pick-and-roll and stuck close to Liu Xiu. Without fear of confrontation, Liu Xiu squeezed forward and broke through to the right!
For a perimeter player like Gerald Wallace who is fast and has a good defensive awareness, Liu Xiu lacks the ability to explode and accelerate if he takes an empty step. Got the upper hand.

Gerald Wallace wanted to press up but was blocked by Liu Xiu abruptly!
Liu Xiu rushed to the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone, and no one was defending. He stopped suddenly at the middle distance at a 30-degree angle on the right side, turned around and made a mid-range shot...a hit!
Gerald Wallace felt that his 201 cm + 98 kg body was on the dog... wait!This seems to be heavier than him!
and many more!

As a genius with top-level defensive talent, Gerald Wallace has a very keen sense of defense. He found that the Warden's body, playing pick-and-roll offense, and sticking it to defend most outside lines cannot withstand the Warden's strong attack. You can only withdraw from the space to prevent breakthroughs. If the warden can practice the three-pointer after the pick-and-roll... Isn't the warden practicing the pick-and-roll and shooting?

At the basket, Okafor watched Liu Xiu make a mid-range shot. It didn't matter. Their team had 7 wins and 27 losses. Since the start, they have been beaten by various opponents. He has no extravagant hope of winning the game tonight.

What he cares about is the positioning of the frontcourt players of the Trail Blazers... What does it mean for Randolph to grab an offensive rebound and get stuck?He is not afraid of the ball bouncing out, and he counterattacks directly?He fought back fiercely.

When it came time for the Bobcats to attack, Bogans received a high post from Blevin Knight and made a second pass.

The Trail Blazers made up in front of Brezek at the end was Raheem, who couldn't stand up to Brezek to catch the ball and kick up high. Okafor is not surprised by this. Their Bobcats are the second last in the league. It's normal for the opponent to underestimate the team. Anyway, they made up for it at the end. When the Suns beat them, their Bobcats scored more than 120 points, but the opponent scored more than 140 points.

But Okafor looked at Randolph and Kwame Brown who were stuck next to him when Blazek received the ball just now... He felt bad from the first ball, and now, the bad feeling has been confirmed!
……

Okafor has a very high IQ. He obtained a bachelor's degree in finance from Connaught University at the end of his junior year. He also studied social relations when he entered the university. He also obtained a bachelor's degree in social relations when he graduated from university. The Bobcats were also admitted to Duke University for a master's degree in social relations; not only high IQ, but also high basketball quotient, excellent basketball talent, with the muscles and hard work of Ben Wallace, and entered the NBA after graduating from college. Be a low-key person... With the 03 Zhuyu in front, he has developed in a low-key manner, and there are really no big-name players to target him.

The big guys who want to target young stars are all staring at Liu Xiu and James. Okafor is very happy to see this situation. He is not the type of Anthony who feels that he is underestimated and seeks abuse everywhere.

Unexpectedly, the legendary warden is a real dog!
The prison team led by the warden actually targeted a rookie like him!
In the first quarter, Okafor made 3 of 0 shots, only 1 rebound, grabbed an offensive rebound, got a foul, made 1 of two free throws, played 9 minutes in a single quarter, 1 point, 1 rebound, 1 foul and 1 turnover.

The insiders of the Trail Blazers would rather have their rebounds taken away by Brezek, Gerald Wallace, Melvin Eli who came off the bench, and others than give the No. [-] pick!

But the score in the first quarter was 27 to 22. Even if the Trail Blazers played like this, they still led by 5 points.

On Liu Xiu's side, the shots in the first quarter were basically focused on mid-range and long-range shots.

首节7投3中，其中三分球3中1，加上2中2的罚球，单节9分3板1抢断！

If you really want to rebound, it is possible if you are lucky. Normally, it is difficult to compare rebounds with Okafor. Although his teammates intend to block him for the warden, but the need for counterattack will give some Liu Xiu a chance to take it directly. The rebounds... In this case, it will be more difficult for Okafor to grab rebounds!As for Okafor's scoring was also targeted, it was just incidentally. It is troublesome to let teammates target Okafor's rebounds alone, so let's target them together!
