Healing Basketball

Chapter 515 515. Leave it to me and leave it to you

In tonight's game, Maurice Cheeks made a bold arrangement—using Liu Xiu and Randolph as checkpoints, dragging the Nets into the quagmire of positional warfare and slow-paced defense!
Regardless of how bad the performance of the three will be, do this on the premise that the Nets will not take the bait.

If there are only two stars who are strong in singles, this idea is terrible. Liu Xiu doesn't need to consider physical issues, but no matter how strong Randolph is, it will be difficult to play like this in the finals, but it doesn't matter. The boss has money. A striker Raheem with a salary of more than 1400 million US dollars!

刘秀首节2分2板，投篮表现糟糕，4投1中；兰多夫首节3投1中外加2中2的罚球拿到4分，也说不上好；拉希姆半节只靠着罚球拿到2分，两次成功出手都铁了。

The three tried their best to fulfill the coach's request.

But someone has to score like this, right?
At this time, let's talk about Liu Xiu's 4 assists in a single quarter, Randolph and Raheem each have an assist!
And these assists are given to other teammates.

Driven by a total of 6 assists from the three, Payton scored 5 points on 3 of 6 mid-range shots; Kwame Brown scored 3 points on 1 of 2 shots, but he let his teammates first for the 'main attack point' They got used to how to play. Later, when McDyess came on, his teammates cooperated more smoothly. McDyess also had a mid-range shot. He made 3 of 2 shots and 1 of 1 free throws. He got it in half a quarter. 5 points, plus a mid-range shot from the outlaw lunatic... The team scored 23 points in a single quarter!
Although financial ability is important, it is more important that Payton and McDyess live up to the trust of the coaches and teammates!
After entering the intermission, Kidd analyzed the opponent's tactical thinking and did not know how to evaluate the opponent's style of play.

Kidd told McGrady about his analysis, and McGrady responded confidently: "Since they want to fight like this, let's play with them and see if their unique moves are stronger, or we are stronger!"

McGrady's confident appearance made Kidd very excited.

In the previous two finals, they also encountered similar problems. They needed a scorer to stand up and withstand the pressure, but no one could stand up.

Now, he has such teammates!
...

Back from the intermission, the Nets sent Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Richard Jefferson, Clifford Robinson, and Mourning.

Mourning only rested for 4 minutes in the first quarter, and should have rested for a while. Kidd, McGrady, and Richard Jefferson should also rest for a few minutes. From the second quarter to the third quarter, the three should take turns One person rested for a few minutes. The three stars of the first and last quarters did not have to rest. It was because of the three of them that the Nets could reach the finals and have the capital to compete with the Trail Blazers.

But this time the three of them go together!Mourning is also together!
Because they want to beat each other in the second quarter!
But... Looking at the opponent's lineup, the three stars cursed in unison.

Shout out to the prison team!
The lineup of Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown is on the field!
There is no problem for Liu Xiu to continue to play. Liu Xiu only rested for 3 minutes in the first 6 games. Randolph and Kwame Brown belong to the regular rotation. The Nets replaced Mourning in advance. Ford Robinson, just to narrow the gap inside.

But Payton, who played the first quarter, continued to play!

The young outlaw fanatic also continued to stay on the court.

The defense of the Trail Blazers' lineup has doubled the pressure on the players of the Nets.

Facing the defense of the Trail Blazers lineup in the first half of the first quarter, they only scored 9 points in the half quarter!
Although Payton is old, this is the finals. Since Payton continues to be replaced, it means that Payton is confident to continue to perform well, just like Mourning took off his training uniform without hesitation after receiving instructions Same.

Originally, the Nets wanted to rush forward at all costs, not to gain much lead, as long as they could disrupt the pace of the Trail Blazers.

But the other party seems to have predicted their purpose.

The bad premonition of the Nets players came true, and Payton made a contribution when he came up!When defending Kidd alone, he quickly reached out and shot the ball off Kidd's hand!

Liu Xiu rushed forward to grab the ball sharply, and Payton succeeded in stealing it!

Liu Xiu pushes forward to counterattack. Kidd has rich defensive experience. Instead of worrying about his mistakes, he immediately presses up on Liu Xiu who has grabbed the ball and confronts him. fight back.

After Liu Xiu arrived in the frontcourt, he met McGrady's pincer attack who quickly retreated and scored the ball!

The Nets defended well against the outlaws, Kwame Brown's quick play, and Randolph's follow-up, but one person was overlooked...Payton!
Payton cut inside and received a point and made a layup!

Veteran Payton actively played fast and became the only lifeline in the fast break that was defended against death, scoring two points!

25 to 21, the Blazers lead by 4 points!
It was a coincidence that the Trail Blazers scored at the beginning of the first quarter and Payton also scored in the second quarter, but the Nets did not start the second quarter as comfortably as the first quarter. On the second attack, Kidd Mistake again!The tacit understanding with Mourning was not enough. Kidd passed the ball directly to the basket, but Mourning missed the ball and the ball flew out of the baseline!
Kidd, who felt that his tactical thinking was predicted by the opponent, was a bit messy in these two rounds, making consecutive mistakes and performing poorly.

But for his poor performance, at least it feels right.

Liu Xiu really predicted that Kidd might do this during the intermission!

From the point of view of the Nets, he analyzed that the Nets must have the idea of ​​​​breaking the game and do not want to be led by the nose, so it is the best choice to take advantage of the rotation stage to rush. He decisively proposed to the coaching staff His immature suggestion, seeing that the bold coach recognized the warden's immature idea, Bu Shuai and Huo Tu did not put forward any disagreement, but quickly reached an agreement and made such a rotation adjustment.

The prediction was correct. The Trail Blazers players were very excited as soon as the second quarter came up, making two consecutive mistakes by the Nets. Now, the morale of the Trail Blazers skyrocketed and the momentum was full again!
接下来的11分钟时间，开拓者队将篮网队限制得只拿到17分！麦迪9投4中拿到9分，才在上半场结束时勉强将分差保持在10分以内。

这11分钟时间开拓者队拿到22分，单节打出了24比17的比分，半场打完，开拓者队以47比38领先篮网队9分进入中场休息！
...

第二节刘秀拿到3分4板4助攻1抢断，佩顿打了7分钟拿到6分1助攻、兰多夫4分1板2助攻，夸梅-布朗7分，拉希姆和德里克-安德森各拿到两分，加上团队防守，开拓者队半场打完时奠定了明确的领先优势！
半场打了19分钟，9投5中，外加2中2的罚球拿到全队最高的12分，佩顿中场休息时感觉走路都带风。

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers made persistent efforts. The defense was not as good as the previous two quarters. The Nets did a good job of adjusting the offensive end during the halftime break. They scored 24 points in a single quarter, but the Blazers did a good job offensively. Better than the previous two quarters, scoring 26 points in a single quarter!
Payton, who only got two assists in 19 minutes in the first half, made good use of his threat of 9 of 5 shots in the third quarter. He scored 9 points and 2 assists in 4 minutes in a single quarter. , Helping the team sort out the team's offense, Liu Xiu scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. With the help of Payton, he made 4 of 2 shots and finally returned to his normal scoring performance.

靠着佩顿的14分6助攻、刘秀的12分8板10助攻、夸梅-布朗的11分11板、兰多夫的10分6板4助攻……三节打完，开拓者队以73比62领先篮网队11分进入最后一个节间休息！
麦迪第三节拿到6投3中拿到7分，加上首节5投3中拿到8分、第二节9投4中拿到9分，三节打完20投10中拿到24分，表现已经非常好了。

This time it wasn't him who was dragging the team down, but the team's tactics were dragging him down!
But this time McGrady did not blame his teammates. After entering the intermission, he found Kidd and said, "Jason, leave the next game to me!"

Kidd is very helpless now, and McGrady's words light up Kidd's heart gradually engulfed by helplessness and fear!
That feeling came again, the sense of powerlessness in the final battle of the two finals came again!
Moreover, this time it was his own fault. Up until now, the opponent had predicted many adjustments. After the round of the series reached the 4th round, he had already been thoroughly understood by the opponent's luxurious coaching staff. One thing - although he is called a 'ghost', a 'coach on the court', and a 'head coach with over 90% adaptability on the spot', he is just a player after all, and his 'coaching ability' in most cases It's enough, but it's really not enough after reaching this level in the finals.

He clearly realized that it was his tactical adjustments that were dragged down by the opponent's successful predictions!

After realizing this, Kidd was very helpless, accompanied by fear, he is a very strong person, otherwise in the summer of 03, he would not have rejected Popovich's invitation to sign first and then trade , but the stronger a person is, the more helpless he will be after his self-confidence is broken.

However, Kidd is no longer alone.

Conceit is not without its benefits. McGrady played well in the first three quarters, and it feels like his sky has cleared up... The visible conceit has returned.

McGrady's arrogance and strength, at this moment, became Kidd's reliance!

Kidd feels that the situation is not yet desperate, because he has Tracy McGrady!
On the other side, Liu Xiu put his hand on Little Flying Squirrel's shoulder: "McGrady left it to you, are you confident?"

Little Momonga, who had been wearing training clothes for the first three quarters, is now relaxed.

Little Flying Squirrel sneered, didn't answer the warden's question, and said, "Sure enough, it's up to me to win the game!"

After finishing speaking, Flying Squirrel flung the training clothes in his hand behind him, and just threw it in front of the staff, who caught it effortlessly.

Liu Xiu felt so handsome seeing this scene!He threw it a few times, but he couldn't throw it right, and he had to run to pick it up, otherwise it would be too rude.

no!The warden is competitive, he has to take some time to practice, he also wants to be so handsome!
