Healing Basketball

Chapter 47 47. Stop hitting the iron and give the ball to Malone! (Today’s [-] words, ask for tickets~)

Liu Xiu immediately figured out why the opponent didn't double-team.

Spantinia is similar to Medvedenko. They are both traditional European centers. They know a little bit of everything and are a good check point.

Randolph, the Mavericks played in the playoffs last year. The Mavericks almost overturned with a 3-0 lead. If it weren't for the Trail Blazers, Randolph's performance in the playoffs last season was blown as a power forward position O'Neal.

Ruben Patterson, a very good high spot-up shooter; Travis Outlaw, an extremely athletic, cutting edge.

If Liu Xiu can attract pincers in the low post, the Trail Blazers may run the offense smoothly.

This, the Lakers have already learned, so the Lakers chose to consume him.

With his size and spirit, he looks like a rookie with a broken body... Most rookies can't do well in the distribution of physical strength.

This guess, he himself is a bit unbelievable, he is just a rookie, why would the other party target him for this?
It was precisely because it was unbelievable that Liu Xiu never thought of this possibility at first.

But after thinking about it, he was not surprised.

Championship teams are always different.

The Lakers have always done a great job in many details, stifling a lot of possibilities for the opponent... As for the fact that a rookie substitute on the other side can make such targeted adjustments, Liu Xiu thinks that this may be the reason why the Lakers can win in the future. One of the reasons for completing the three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century!

These thoughts flashed through Liu Xiu's mind. He felt that the Lakers were really good, but...

Who let the Lakers have Kobe?
If another opponent did this, Liu Xiu had to fight back for several rounds before he could react, and his game would collapse.

However, he has not realized that the opponent's defensive strategy is like this because of his declining physical strength, but because Fisher provided a wave of violent 99 healing value...

Keep hitting!

The copy of Kobe's 'Physical Pentium' showed a powerful effect!
Just like Liu Xiu's analysis, the Lakers really want to consume his energy.

Fisher takes on heavy responsibilities and is very confident. Considering his 185 cm and 91 kg weight, he has quite good strength for the same body size, plus excellent low-post defensive skills. Even if Liu Xiu looks like a low-post singles master, Fisher Er also felt that he could at least consume Liu Xiu after a few rounds.

but……

Liu Xiu forced himself again, turned around and took a step to avoid Malone's supplementary defense, and hit a backhand layup!

If Ma Long made up the defense a little faster this time, he would be able to limit Liu Xiu's turn, but Ma Long chose to take care of Randolph's catch and mid-range shot first, and then shrink when Liu Xiu turned around and did not pass to Randolph's angle of view. , For Liu Xiu, whose back-up skills have reached an excellent level, and with Randolph's back-up talent bonus and his layup ability increased to 92, it is tantamount to an ineffective defense!

Not only that, Fisher failed to stop Liu Xiu and turned around to give Liu Xiu a hand. The referee's whistle came a little later, but it still blew.

Liu Xiu's goal is valid and there will be an additional penalty!

With Liu Xiujia's free throw, 64 to 62, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers by 2 points, and Zen Master called a timeout!
Both teams regarded this game as a very important game-a matter of face.

No one on either side expected the current situation.

The Trail Blazers can overtake the score, but it’s nothing. The game is like this. If one side throws a three-pointer and scores three or four in a row, the game situation with a big difference can be reversed. Kobe did this before, only 2 With a point difference, it is not surprising that the Trail Blazers overtook the score.

But Liu Xiu played a wave of 9 to 5 alone, which surprised the Trail Blazers!
The Lakers were caught off guard. They thought that the exhaustive tactical arrangement against Liu Xiu was an unexpected emphasis on this rookie.

As a result, Liu Xiu was able to score 4 consecutive rounds with backs against Fisher!
Payton has already proved that it is not a good choice to rely on skills to back Fisher, and it is feasible to rely on strength to eat Fisher raw, but the entire league can do it, only Andre Miller last season... a rookie actually did it arrive!And it is continuous strong eating!
……

At first, when Liu Xiugang came on the field, although the fans were very happy, it had nothing to do with basketball. It was just because Liu Xiu threw O'Neal in his arms, and the fans looked very happy.

It feels like a Lakers player is just a strong and reckless man.

But the 9 minutes or so that Liu Xiu played together made the people present realize that this rookie can also play.

It looks mediocre, and there are no bright spots in physical fitness... The main reason is that there is no running and jumping ability, and the technique is also very simple.

But when they are on the court, they can play a very strong role!
The home team fans at the scene, after Liu Xiu's wave of backs, at this moment, they became very interested in their rookie.

After a timeout, Liu Xiu continued to play on the Trail Blazers side, and the combination of Wesley Person, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Dale Davis was replaced.

When she first played, when she saw the opponent's rotation lineup, Liu Xiu saw the task completion reminder floating in front of her eyes. She had a visual experience of 'flying by', but in fact she knew the completed content all at once.

"My last name is Liu: Let Kobe Bryant remember your name!
Goal 1: Counting only from when the host comes on in the third quarter, when the host and Kobe Bryant are on the court at the same time, the host's score reaches at least half of Kobe Bryant's score. (9 points for the host, 5 points for Kobe Bryant, completed.)
Goal 2: Stop Kobe Bryant from trying to widen the gap. (Completed, leading by 2 points.)
Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 1000 healing value. "

The difficulty of the task is not particularly high, and the rewards are not particularly special. This is completed, and Liu Xiu is a little surprised. The main point of surprise is that the opponent actually replaced Kobe at this time!
Zen Master replaced Kobe, and O'Neal was not replaced. A few years ago, he just gave up the rhythm of the game.

But now, without the OK combination, the Lakers still cannot be underestimated!

The Zen master sent a combination of Payton, Kareem Rush, Devin George, Malone, and Horace Grant to play.

Looking at Payton who was waiting to receive the serve, Liu Xiu was a little excited.

Although the strength is not enough, and he knows it well, but it is always exciting to play against those famous and famous old superstars.

It's a pity that Liu Xiu can't match up with Kobe, but with Payton, he can match up!

At this time, the system prompt came again!

"Mission: My surname is Liu Advanced goal trigger."

"My surname is Liu:

Advanced goal: The host needs to help the Trail Blazers win the game.

Advanced rewards: Double the basic rewards. "

'wipe!Good luck, if the old fish next door didn't foul me just now, and I didn't make the penalty, it would be too bad...'

Liu Xiu is not thinking about losing now, but thinking about how to win.

His strong fighting spirit easily infected his teammates.

The players of the Trail Blazers, no matter what they do off the court, as long as they are on the court, everyone wants to win.

The environment of their team is like this. If you perform well on the court and can help the team win, you will get more opportunities.

The opponent must have not given up, otherwise Payton and Malone would not be replaced. Watching Payton receive the serve and advance...'Let Payton and Malone help Kobe and O'Neal reduce consumption, let the two come Carrying some anxious stages? '

Liu Xiu felt that Master Zen was still a bit ruthless in doing things, squeezing two veteran superstars whom he was not familiar with like this.

However, even though Payton is 35 years old and Malone is 40 years old, the pressure they put on their opponents is still huge.

The Lakers launched an offense, and Payton advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kareem Rush.

Ma Long held back the inside defense very well in the low post area, and Payton was backed by Liu Xiu in the high post and played back singles after receiving the return pass.

Back hit, turn over, jump shot... Hit!
Peyton came up and gave Liu Xiu a positive response!

"Gary Payton, 35 years old, PG, 193 cm, 82 kg, ability rating 87..."

The score was tied at 64!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Trail Blazers attack, Liu Xiu receives the serve, and Payton presses all the way!
"Oh, rookie, seeing how tender you are, it's not just female stars who like you, right? I heard that there are many men in Portland who like men?"

"Thank you for your reminder, old man, I will avoid them, but why are you so clear, old man? Oh, sorry, I accidentally poked your wound."

Peyton was short of breath. Today he was facing a rookie and wanted to show off his veteran demeanor and engage in some trash talk of literary criminals, but the other party was no worse than him in this respect!And he is so courageous, it can only be said that he is a rookie who dares to hug O'Neill?
Payton stopped talking trash and chose a more oppressive defensive action.

Liu Xiu was not bluffed by Payton's extremely oppressive defense. Payton's strength was unexpectedly large. It didn't seem like he could have more than 80 kilograms, but Liu Xiu could hold it, and Liu Xiu didn't rush forward quickly, but It is to protect the ball steadily and move towards the frontcourt.

The full-court press was invalid, and when Payton retreated to the three-point line, he took a step back and directed his teammates' defense.

Obviously, very obvious, when Payton, who once won the best defensive player, is on the court, the Lakers' team defensive positioning, movement, etc., have become better!

But... As the saying goes, breaking through a thousand games with one effort, when Fisher couldn't defend against Liu Xiu's back attack, facing Payton, Liu Xiu's multiple-choice questions became very simple.

Keep hitting!

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Travis Outlaw, went to the low post to catch the ball, and continued to play with his back...Turn around and make a throw!
I can still come!
Peyton thought that he was here to reap the fruits of abuse created by Fisher, but he turned out to be even worse than Fisher!
With this move, the farther you are from the basket, the more important your height is, and the closer you are to the basket, the more important your strength is.

Payton has the defensive ability of a skillful post-up, but the low post-up with strong defense is really ineffective.

Mainly unexpected!Payton himself felt bad enough to back-hit Fisher for four consecutive rounds. How could he have thought that Liu Xiu would continue to back-hit Fisher like a normal person?
There is actually nothing wrong with the rotation of the Lakers tonight. The analysis, prediction, and adjustments are also very good. The stars are strong and the coaches are excellent. But Liu Xiu, which seems unimportant, is to play them well. Don't want it.

The Lakers always thought 'this is the best that rookie can do,' and then, it became like this...

Immediately afterwards, Payton passed a single to Malone, who missed a mid-range shot.

Liu Xiu continued to play back and finally succeeded in attracting a pincer attack. Wesley Persson received the ball in a wide gap. Wesley Persson didn't score in the first half. ! 69 to 64, the Blazers' lead expanded to 5 points!
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers wanted to play a wave of fast offense in order to get another round of offensive opportunities, trying to tie the score at the end of the third quarter.

Dare to do this because the Lakers have confidence in their own strength, but they didn't do it.

Dale Davis completed the steal in the middle, and the Trail Blazers pressed the rhythm. With 9 seconds left, Liu Xiu hit back and gave the ball to Wesley Persson, who cut in the middle, and Wesley Persson scored. The bottom line of the ball, Rasheed Wallace catches the ball and makes a mid-range shot!
With Kareem Rush missing a three-pointer from the sideline, after three quarters, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers 71 to 64 and entered the intermission!
Liu Xiu scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the half quarter!

Playing a total of less than 13 minutes, Liu Xiu scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Maurice Cheeks felt rich.

Big heart, no stage fright in big scenes.

After clarifying his own advantages, he decisively seized the advantages and pursued them fiercely.

In the event of a flank attack, decisively return to the role of the team's offensive comber.

He can still use his own way to make those rebellious teammates obey... Although it's only temporary, but it's the first time, so why not have a second time?

At the end of the quarter, although leading by 7 points, Maurice Cheeks did not feel relieved at all when looking at the superstars on the opposite side.

but……

"Jess, what's the matter, can you continue to fight?"

As the main point of attack and the starting point of the attack in the past half of the game, Liu Xiu's style of play, just by looking at it, can tell that the consumption is not small, and the physical distribution is obviously not done well.

Liu Xiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice. If Maurice Cheeks would not let him continue, he would definitely take the initiative to fight for it.

As for whether it will cause discomfort to the teammates at the point guard position...

"Healing value +13, from Derek Anderson."

"Healing value +21, from Jeff McGinnis."

"Healing value +42, from Damon Stoudemire."

……

After returning from the intermission, both teams made personnel rotations.

The Lakers re-dispatched the starting combination of Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, and O'Neal!
The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace. Except for Liu Xiu, the other four were also starters.

When Kobe saw Liu Xiu being replaced, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and O'Neill also smiled, very ferociously.

Liu Xiu has a feeling of 'finally waiting for this moment'.

I definitely didn't think too much at the beginning, it was just a preseason game with the F4 Lakers, I didn't expect to hit this point.

But that's where it hits.

After Kobe was replaced in the third quarter, Liu Xiu played more aggressively, in order to take the lead in the final quarter to play, otherwise he really didn't have to play.

7 point lead...

After the start of the final game, the OK combination started to exert its strength!
Payton and Malone are very numerous. They are ready to hug their thighs when they come, and they need to do more things. For example, when their teammates are injured or their teammates are not in good condition and need to rely on them, they will stand up, but they Ready to be a supporting role.

Payton and Malone fully cooperated with the OK combination of offense and defense, plus Rick Fox's core support... With Kobe facing Ruben Patterson's three-pointer from the sideline, the Lakers started the fourth quarter. Bo 11 to 5, the score was chased by the Lakers to 75 to 76!

The Trail Blazers have only 1 point left in their lead!

In fact, during this period of time, the Trail Blazers' tactics were played out. Kobe returned to the defense in the second half of the second quarter at the end of the second quarter, defending against Liu Xiu.

Kobe's defense against Liu Xiu and the Trail Blazers team's offensive play are quite difficult, but it is better than Liu Xiu's continuous back-beating of Payton and Fisher.

But during this time, Malone and O'Neal blocked the entire mid-range and short-range!If it weren't for Randolph's offensive rebound 2+1, and Rasheed Wallace's cut-in to catch the ball and hit a defensive throw, the score would have been overtaken by now.

After Kobe scored, Liu Xiu immediately called several teammates and said a few words. Maurice Cheeks was about to call a timeout, but hesitated for a while, and decided not to call.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu first lobbed the ball to Randolph who was leaning on O'Neal in the low post, and then ran in along the middle with Kobe chasing him.

Some players cut in the middle, always attracting defensive attention, but Randolph did not pass to Liu Xiu, but passed to Travis Outlaw behind Liu Xiu and Kobe!
Travis Outlaw received the ball and made a second pass. Liu Xiu ran around the bottom line from the right side of the three-second zone and attracted Malone's pincer attack, but Travis Outlaw passed the ball in the direction of Right sideline!
Rasheed Wallace catches a 79-pointer...hit! 75 to 4, the point difference came to [-] points!
The power forward's three-pointer, except for the king, is always not so stable, but Liu Xiu made the right bet this time!
The Lakers thought that Liu Xiu circled Randolph's stake for a close-range shot, and Malone retracted it. Rasheed Wallace had an absolute gap, and it was useless for Payton to pounce... In!

Apart from coming up with an idea, he dribbled the ball across the court and slid under the basket. The rest had nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

But Rasheed Wallace smiled excitedly at Liu Xiu after scoring the goal...so scared that Liu Xiu almost grabbed the referee's whistle and blew him twice.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, the Lakers scored their 6th consecutive goal...

O'Neal caught the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and threw it back. Malone caught the ball and made a low-handed layup.

Liu Xiu looked at Rasheed Wallace and felt a little headache-he could only care about the offense but not the defense.

Liu Xiu discovered that this teammate, who is solely responsible for offense or solely responsible for defense, is at the top level, but doing the two together seems to be not only a matter of physical strength, but also the brain cannot keep up with the switching of play styles!

There are tens of thousands of weird athletes in this world, but Tian Zun doesn't seem to be particularly weird.

After Ma Long scored, Liu Xiu called his teammates together and said a few words.

Maurice Cheeks wanted to call a timeout again but stopped. He called a timeout because he wanted to make more detailed tactical arrangements for Liu Xiu's long-distance main attack by Liu Xiu, and at the same time find a way to solve it. Liu Xiugang figured out the problem of defense and Rasheed Wallace. As a coach, he has long understood it, and his old teammates have long been familiar with it.

When Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, Maurice Cheeks saw a scene that surprised him—Rasheed Wallace did not go to the running position to serve as a possible support point, but went directly to the Open up the space outside the three-point line!

This is exactly the adjustment Morris Cheeks wants to make!
Malone still didn't follow Rasheed Wallace to expand, but let Rick Fox expand to defend.

After Liu Xiu passed the ball to Randolph, he didn't cut in the middle. According to the actual position movement on the field, he ran to the right sideline to give Rasheed Wallace an off-ball pick-and-roll!
Rasheed Wallace came to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone on a pick-and-roll, and received a second pass from Travis Outlaw, who was at the free throw line and received a pass from Randolph, to the wing, two points long shot...

Kobe's defense was in place, but Rasheed Wallace received the ball, and Kobe was in place. There was no way to face Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shot.

Rasheed Wallace feels good now, and he will hit two points again!
On the sidelines, on the bench of the Lakers, Zen master saw this scene, and kept touching his index fingers. He knew that a troublesome situation was coming!
Liu Xiu scored 5 goals in a row before and scored 11 points. Now Rasheed Wallace shot from a long distance and scored 5 points in a row. This means that the Trail Blazers have two threats. Coincidentally, these two People correspond to the two major defense points of the Lakers!
Kobe defended Liu Xiu, and when Rasheed Wallace pulled the perimeter, it was Malone to defend. O'Neal, who is now overweight, cannot be allowed to defend a flexible center's mid-range and long-distance running and catching the ball...

When Ma Long contracted twice in a row, causing Rasheed Wallace to score two goals from a long distance, Liu Xiu can really sort out the team's offense!
Although Liu Xiu didn't think so much, but the success rate of post-ups at the beginning, and the sudden inspiration to let Rasheed Wallace be a long-distance catcher or even a spot-up pitcher, these have become Liu Xiu An important factor to sort out the team's offense at the critical moment of the fourth quarter!
Ruben Patterson's high spot-up shot, Randolph's second attack, Travis Outlaw's drive to the rim, Rasheed Wallace's long-range shot from the sideline... This lineup can be used, naturally It's about the tactics of this lineup, but it's not easy to play against the Lakers. Now, it's done!

The most important thing is that Liu Xiu told Rasheed Wallace not to think about more things on the offensive end, only responsible for shooting, let Rasheed Wallace focus on the defensive end, that is, let Rasheed Wallace The Warriors have entered the Pistons style of play... focus on protecting the frame!

Not only Rasheed Wallace focused on protecting the frame, Randolph, Ruben Patterson, and Liu Xiu also shrank to the mid-to-short range, and as long as someone entered the mid-to-short range, they would attack.

Payton on the wing can throw a three-pointer at will, and Malone leaves the mid-range, allowing Ruben Patterson to expand... Travis Outlaw, a rookie, single-handedly defends Kobe!If Malone goes to help Kobe pick and roll, let Ruben Patterson switch defenses. If Malone catches the ball and plays singles, he will attack if he rushes in. Well, Ruben Patterson was blown away by Malone's long-range singles, and Malone scored two goals in a row.

but!

Ma Long's age... 40 years old is always a hurdle that cannot be passed.

In fact, last season, Malone's assist rate was close to 5%. Last season, he averaged 7.3 goals per game, 3.5 of which were catches and shots, and 1.1 goals were second offenses. 3 balls!
Sometimes, having more stars is not necessarily a good thing. Some things seem to be good things, but the actual effect may not be so good.

Like now, O'Neal is full of big men, and his chances of scoring inside are extremely poor. In previous years, when Kobe needed a break in singles, O'Neal would do it even if he was surrounded by a group of people. Now he is more willing to hand over the ball. Kobe and Malone can Take turns.

But in these few rounds, Malone scored two goals, and Kobe only scored 3 of 1!

If Malone hadn't scored in both singles, the Trail Blazers, who scored 7 points during this period, would have opened up the score!
It was the Lakers offense again. Kobe singled out Travis Outlaw, but couldn't get in, so he chose to step back and shoot.

Travis Outlaw knew that Kobe would not rush up, and if Kobe made a foul at this time, it would definitely work, but Kobe didn't choose the easy shooting method, jumping backwards and leaning back long The two-point shot...it was too difficult, Travis Outlaw's bounce made Kobe feel a bit outrageous, Kobe shot it hard this time!

Randolph and Rasheed Wallace struggled to get in position, and Liu Xiu picked up a rebound in the hand-to-hand fight of a group of big men.

Looking back, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to play the ball. There was no tactics at all. Randolph suddenly turned around with his back against O'Neal on the left side of the three-second zone. Liu Xiu reacted sharply and seized the opportunity to pass to the basket. Dorff caught the ball and scored a throw, and caused a foul by O'Neal who turned around and blocked the shot!
88 to 81, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 7 points, and Randolph has an additional penalty!
Randolph made an extra free throw, Liu Xiu retreated directly to the backcourt, glanced at the sidelines, found a group of girls, saw the opponent wearing the jersey of his own team player, and decisively leaned forward, screaming at the opponent I said a few words in...

Randolph added a penalty and made a steady hit, 89 to 81, and the point difference came to 8 points!
When it comes to the Lakers offense, Kobe is now in a state of rage, and he feels that he will soon find the feeling from the iron, and he feels that he will be able to make the next shot.

Just when Rick Fox passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe was in a singles posture, there were shouts from the sidelines...

"Give the ball to Malone! We want to see Malone play singles!"

"Don't vote! You can't make it!"

"Oh shit, we're down by 10! Give Malone the ball!"

"Pass to O'Neal! O'Neal is the MVP!"

The shouts of this group of people spread quickly. Some Lakers fans really thought so, but most of them were fans of the home team, and they all aimed to influence Kobe.

Kobe was shaking and cold, so he didn't pass it on!His mentality was also affected. How to rely on skills and feints to get a shot that he had just thought about just now turned into a strong shot... long two points and missed!

O'Neal missed a tip-up, and Rasheed Wallace protected the second rebound.

Liu Xiu received the ball and felt that the female fans were awesome!Only the first sentence was taught by him, and the rest are free play by the female fans!
