Healing Basketball

Chapter 557. Chapter 557. The Magic Team has a bright future
Cheap!He couldn't resist the urge to copy the beast, but fortunately he could cancel the copy. Although he couldn't re-select another opponent, he didn't have such an outrageous negative bonus anyway.

Forget it, playing the Magic, it doesn't matter if you lose one talent. Isn't there Ray Allen's "sharp shooter".

After walking onto the field, Liu Xiu felt someone staring at him, and looked around, it was a beast!But, why is the beast's eyes so hungry?

On the other side, Howard was very angry. Just now, Liu Xiu came to their bench and Hill was injured. He thought he was the new boss of the Magic team and reached out to say hello to Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu ignored her hand and went straight to Hill. Chatting and laughing with Hill.

Now, his mood is not unhappy, but angry, unhappy!

However, when Howard withdrew his gaze from Liu Xiu and concentrated on walking to the middle circle, it was his turn to feel the hostile eyes.

Parallel champion Kwame Brown!

The picture of being targeted by the Trail Blazers insiders last season emerged. Howard flashed a little timidity, but then turned into anger.

he!
The strongest high school center in history!

To be frightened when faced with a parallel importer!

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Howard beat Kwame Brown to win the jump ball and the Magic went first.

Nelson received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu guarded the top arc.

"Jamil Nelson, 23 years old, 183 cm, 91 kg, PG, ability rating 78, offense 84, defense 69, three-pointer 79, mid-range shooting 81, layup 91, speed 88, strength 87..."

Nelson in the second grade, Liu Xiu seemed to see himself in his rookie year. He was strong, and his speed was acceptable but not fast, but his explosive acceleration was better than his, mainly because his skills were more comprehensive than his back then.

In the first few games of the new season, Nelson and Batty played very well in the pick-and-roll offense, and Liu Xiu was careful.

But Batty didn't pull it out, and Nelson passed the ball!
Liu Xiu turned her head and saw that Batty stretched to the middle distance of the baseline on the right, and Howard caught Kwame Brown in the low post on the left side of the basket!

Howard fiercely slammed into Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown's heels seemed to be on the floor, but Howard slid half a step out when he hit him.

"..." Liu Xiu was speechless for a while, seeing Howard's expression was a little confused, he quickly shouted "Kwame, I'll help you", and then double-teamed Howard.

Hearing this, Howard immediately forgot about the fact that he just couldn't be knocked down. Seeing Liu Xiu attacking, he was inexplicably excited that he was "I was double-teamed in singles", and continued to attack, struggling towards Kwame- Brown hit it, and this time Kwame Brown retreated a little bit, but this little distance couldn't reach the effect of being close to the basket.

Seeing that Liu Xiu had already pinched up, Howard was heartbroken, jumped up on the spot, and was about to dunk forcibly through Kwame Brown... "Pa"... Kwame Brown slapped the ball cleanly, completely Didn't touch Howard's dunk hand!
Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound. He had great trust in Kwame Brown for this ball. He decided that it was either a blocked rebound or an iron rebound.

After winning the rebound, Liu Xiu immediately counterattacked.

Howard immediately chased after Liu Xiu, but he stopped as soon as he rushed out of the three-point line.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was a circle older than Nelson, but kept increasing the distance between him and Nelson, Howard cursed, this is so unreasonable!
Seeing Liu Xiu go straight to the opposite basket and hit a layup, and then turned his head to look at Kwame Brown, who was beating his chest and screaming and spitting, Howard was extremely annoyed.

It was still the Magic's offense. Nelson advanced to the frontcourt and saw Howard went to the low post to ask for the ball again. This time he hesitated.

He didn't notice it in the last round, and now he finds that Howard can't squeeze Kwame Brown at all!

The Magic started with 2 wins and 2 losses, a very good performance. In these 4 games, Howard had many very domineering inside attacks, which made his teammates feel that he was very powerful.

But now against Kwame Brown, only to find that the inside defense encountered in the first 4 games was too poor.

Magloire of the Bucks, Pachulia of the Eagles, Murphy of the Warriors, 17-year-old rookie Bynum of the Rockets, Howard played against each other when playing these centers.

Now against Kwame Brown... Nelson took a closer look. Howard's arms, shoulders and back seemed to be stronger than Kwame Brown, but his lower limbs were much weaker!

Moreover, Kwame Brown's upper body is not weak, he has a very balanced upper and lower body, and the evaluation he received in the draft was a talented insider with no physical shortcomings, who is competent for two positions inside.

If there is something wrong with this evaluation, then the only thing that the NBA doesn't like to measure the size of the palm...

But Howard had already sat in the low post and asked for the ball, Nelson hesitated and passed the ball.

Howard still can't be hit by force this time, but he forced his shot and at least he didn't get blocked directly. Needless to say, the lever is still very good, but the shot is hard...it's hard again!

Randolph recovered from the baseline on the right side, grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Liu Xiuqi, Liu Xiuqi counterattacked...

Good guy, Nelson and Turkoglu have retreated to the middle circle!

Liu Xiu didn't slow down, but advanced quickly.

The adjustment of the team system, change the bad ones, and keep the good ones.

Their tempo change is well controlled, mainly because Liu Xiu, the person who controls the tempo, can control the tempo and drive his teammates well, and this has been retained.

Fall into positional warfare.

"Zach, teach him what it means to play a low post!" After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he lobbed the ball to Randolph who was leaning against Howard in the low post on the right side of the three-second zone.

Randolph immediately shook his body and hammered the high school student!

Randolph played very hard. After turning his back and entering the basket, he explosively knocked Howard away by a step, took off and made a layup!

"That's the low post!" Randolph slobbered and flung out some trash talk to retreat.

Randolph actually thought to himself—'Holy crap, these high school kids are crazy, and this dude turns 20 next month?If you don't bully him well in the past two years, you won't be able to bully him anymore! '

Although Randolph was confused by the operation of Howard's offensive run and the league's top low-post defensive insider, but Howard's defensive progress surprised Randolph.

Playing against Howard last year, he didn't need to take an extra step, as easy as scoring. This year, he has to be very serious.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Magic attack.

Nelson advanced halfway and passed to Turkoglu who wanted the ball from the top arc.

Nelson used Batty to cover the flank, received Turkoglu's top arc to support the ball, and made a high throw shot!

This card is dealt beautifully!A very simple style of play, purely relying on the timing of the supporting players!
Turkoglu finally got his chance to show his talents this year.

Liu Xiu noticed a detail. Just now Howard wanted to play singles, but Turkoglu asked for the ball. Howard didn't continue to ask for the ball. Instead, he moved to the right side of the three-second zone, maintaining a rushing posture.

From this detail, Liu Xiu feels that Howard's success is justified. This high school student has many flaws in character, but he is not lacking in basketball talent and hard work.

However, Liu Xiu's focus will not be on Howard in the future. Howard is similar to Kenyon Martin. When he meets a thinner opponent than him, he looks extremely fierce in singles, but when he meets someone who hits him, he becomes pure. Blue-collar, and Howard has no pick-and-roll ability, and his offensive role is not as good as Kenyon Martin.

Howard is quite good at rushing to grab offensive rebounds, but the Trail Blazers are a strong team inside, and their defensive rebound protection is one of the best in the league.

When the freshness of the beast has passed, Howard is just a young top-level athletic center for the Trail Blazers. Now he can't defend Randolph and Raheem alone, and can't defend against Liu. Xiu and Little Momonga can also deal with it relatively easily...

The real threat to the Trail Blazers is the pick-and-roll combination of Teg Crew with Nelson and Batty. The three of them, paired with a wing shooter, plus Howard's rushing and pie-eating threats, the team's offense played quite well. good.

On the defensive end, the Magic are also remarkable. From the awareness and enthusiasm of Nelson and Turkoglu when Howard missed the second storm just now, it can be seen that their defensive discipline is really good.

Compared with last season, the Magic has indeed undergone a qualitative change, which comes from their new head coach-Brian Hill.

The most successful stage of this coach's career was when he trained O'Neal more than ten years ago. Now that the Magic have a good center seed, they brought him back to coach. The ability to build a team around the center is really good.

The Trail Blazers scored 27 points in the first quarter, and the Magic did not fall behind too much at home, scoring 23 points. After Howard stopped playing singles, the Magic and the Trail Blazers tied!
Turkoglu 5 points and 2 assists, Nelson 8 points and 2 assists, performed quite well.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead. Liu Xiu first ran without the ball to receive a pass from Blake and scored two long points on the right side of the three-second zone. Then he cut into the ball for two consecutive rounds and fouled and made 4 free throws. , played a wave of 6-0, and relied on personal threats to help Raheem, who came off the bench, score 8 points and Momonga scored 6 points. After the entire game, the Blazers soared 29 points.

However, the Magic drove low and went high, scoring only 10 points in the first half of the second quarter, but soared 18 points in the second half, losing only 1 point to the Trail Blazers in a single quarter.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Magic by 56 points 51 to 4 and entered the intermission.

刘秀首节4分1助攻、第二节10分3助攻，半场打了19分钟，拿到14分3板4助攻1抢断，表现相当不错，魔术队那边的特科格鲁打得也很好，半场拿到7分6助攻。

Turkoglu had 4 assists in a single quarter in the second quarter, sorting out the offense of the Magic team in an orderly manner, and made the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers pay attention to it!

It can be seen that this organizational striker swingman relies heavily on pitchers and individual players to organize offenses, but the Magic have all of these!
