Healing Basketball

Chapter 569 569. Is this really useful?

Question marks circled around Paul's head.

How to prevent this?
After he was caught by Liu Xiu in the low post, he worked his brain quickly, thinking about how to defend against Liu Xiu's back attack, how to go forward, how to steal, and how to counterattack. It's all out.

Then, he couldn't even bypass Liu Xiu, and the opponent didn't play technical moves at all, and just ate it raw!

Offensive and defensive conversion, Paul received the serve and advanced.

He pushed forward at a low speed, took a deep breath to adjust his emotions.

Paul smiled slightly when he encountered an outlaw lunatic defense in the frontcourt. He already had a way to deal with this defensive genius-pick and roll!
Boozer pulled up from the middle distance to block the outlaws, and Paul bypassed the two to break through. Not surprisingly, it was Kwame Brown who expanded to defend.

Kwame Brown's defense ability is also very good, but the gap is obviously not small compared with the outsiders. Paul faced Kwame Brown, slowed down, caught the ball, shot after the pick-and-roll...fake!Kwame Brown pressed the defense to shoot, Paul's speed suddenly increased, he shot the ball quickly, and broke through!

Kwame Brown immediately turned around to chase after being passed by. Paul could quickly stop and jump and shoot. Kwame Brown’s mid-range chasing and defending interference was not as good as that of the outlaws, but Paul chose to rush to the basket out of caution... When he was close to the close range and immediately reached his shooting range, he was blocked!

Liu Xiu's flanks shrink to block defense!

Paul bumped into Liu Xiu, nothing happened on the other side, he himself was knocked back half a step, relying on his solid basic skills, he caught the ball without making a mistake, but stopped the ball.

Paul's first choice is to pass to the weak side, but Randolph firmly resists Okur; looking for Boozer, the outlaw lunatic is good at switching to the [-]th position, and it is too easy to cut off the passing line like this; I can pass on Kirisek... I can't pass it on!Because of Paul's move, Kwame Brown has already flanked him and completed the encirclement with Liu Xiu, and the line from the right corner of the pass was cut off!

Just when Paul was about to make a strong shot to avoid being stealed, his eyes lit up.

It has to be Kirilenko!
Kirilenko started to move when Liu Xiu shrunk and blocked Paul, and was about to pass the free throw line. Paul was ecstatic, and the mistake was about to turn into a second pass. He turned around and pushed the ball out, and Kwame Brown blocked the pass to the right. The space is gone, no one cares about the direction of the top arc of Paul's pass, Kirilenko catches the ball and rushes to the frame like this, Ray Allen who is chasing and defending can't do anything, Kirilenko has already appeared in Paul's mind. The snapping picture...

"Snapped"

The picture in Paul's mind shattered with the crisp sound of hitting the ball.

When Paul turned sideways, Liu Xiu let go of Paul's shooting space and circled up. When Paul pushed the ball out, Liu Xiu stretched out his long arms and took the ball!

The ball bounced on the floor, Paul rushed to grab the ball, but was pushed away by Liu Xiu!
Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and was about to counterattack when Paul grabbed his arm in a panic. The referee whistled and Paul fouled.

Question marks circled around Paul's head, what kind of defense is this opposite?
Although there were question marks in his head, Paul retreated immediately.

The team is strictly disciplined, and has already made mistakes + fouls, let alone continue to make mistakes. It is more important to retreat and settle the defensive position.

Kirilenko directed Paul to switch defenses. Paul did not refuse, and he simply gave up after only one round.

Sloan on the sidelines was very satisfied with Kirilenko's defensive mobilization ability on the field. He originally wanted to see if Paul, a rookie with exceptional physical fitness and strength far superior to his appearance, could block the opposing warden. It's his fault... But the rookie has to be blamed. He actually hesitated to arrange the defense like this, but the rookie is very confident in his defense, and he has to try everything. That's why he arranged it that way.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu came to the frontcourt, saw Kirilenko guarding the top arc, and waved to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen happily ran to the right of the free throw line, and Paul, who followed him, found that things were not easy...

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Ray Allen, commanding the outlaws to go around the baseline to the right baseline, Randolph to the left side of the three-second zone, Kwame Brown to the left baseline, and finally Liu Xiu ran to the left side At a 45-degree angle, bring Boozer and Kirisek out, and bring Kirilenko and Okuru to a far position with good defense. The teammates set up a triangle offensive position to create for Ray Allen One-on-one opportunities.

Torturing small cannons is such a beautiful thing, the warden can't enjoy it all alone, it's better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone, everyone abuses cannons together!
After two years, Xiaopao has the strength to defend the formation, and Ray Allen's singles ability degrades with age + role changes, it will be difficult to beat Xiaopao.

Of course it is very easy now, Ray Allen has not regressed in singles, facing Paul's hard defense, Ray Allen made a mid-range shot in singles!

Watching the ball fall into the basket, Paul turned his head to look at Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, who were clapping hands. The former could not be defended, and the latter was also difficult to defend.

Who else is coming from the outside line?

An outlaw as tall as Boozer...

Paul received the serve and pushed forward. He didn't pay attention before, but now he finds that everyone on the opposite side looks at him with ill intentions!

There is also the position on the opposite side. Before, he only felt that the position on the opposite side was a bit scattered, not worthy of the second in the Western Conference and the third in the league in defensive efficiency. Maybe he underestimated them. Now he found that the opponent was not defensive, but aimed at him!
With top-notch personal offensive talent and organizational offensive talent, he didn't see the intention of the opponent's position before, but he never thought that he was a rookie, and the opponent would target him like this.

After realizing this, Liu Xiu's tendency to supplement defense on the flanks, Randolph and Ray Allen's favorable conditions for cutting off passes and receiving the ball, and the single defense and pick-and-roll defense of the outlaw lunatics and parallel importers who are difficult to deal with... ...He can see so clearly now the defensive routines that are aimed at him one after another!

After advancing past halftime, Paul took a deep breath, his eyes became firmer, and his advancing steps became calm again.

With lofty ambitions, he regards this as a test of his basketball career!

He believes he can do it!

When he came to the top arc, he began to direct his teammates to move.

Possessing extraordinary talent and outstanding combat power, he has won the trust of his teammates in just 10 games. Under his command, the movement of his teammates disrupted the defensive position of the Trail Blazers.

Almost there, Paul started to attack. He still chose to avoid the defense of the outlaw fanatics that seemed to cover the entire sky, beckoning to Boozer, and using the cover to break through!
After using Boozer to block the outlaws, Paul once again used a feint to trick Kwame Brown into the lane, from the right side of the paint, and there was no evil warden in his breakthrough route... But, there was Ray Allen!

Ray Allen shrinks in time and sticks to Paul who is rushing in. Paul points the ball to the right corner...

At this time, Xiao Pao suddenly thought of a question. Is it really useful for him to ask his teammates to adjust their positions?

The teammates adjusted their positions, but Kirisek went to the position where Kirilenko originally stood in the middle distance on the left, and Kirilenko went to the bottom corner on the right, which is still the position in the tactics.

And in the original position, Kirisek is good at shooting from the right sideline, so he goes to the bottom corner on the right. Kirilenko can shoot from the left side of the three-second zone, so he goes to the left side of the three-second zone, and now he goes to the bottom right. Corner did catch the ball, but...

Kirilenko received the ball, didn't make a shot, and chose to advance from the baseline. He was blocked by Randolph one step inside the right sideline of the three-second zone. Take-off layup..."snap"... Kirilenko's layup was swung out of bounds by Kwame Brown.

The Jazz have the ball, and there are 4 seconds left on the offensive clock.

The Jazz served from the bottom line. This time Paul encountered Liu Xiu's defense. In Liu Xiu's rough confrontation and interference, Paul failed to receive the serve. Boozer received the ball from Kirilenko. Unable to use it, he shook his eyes twice and looked at the violation. Boozer faced Kwame Brown with a strong shot... "snap"...Kwame Brown gave another big cap!
Boozer grabbed the ball himself, but the 24-second violation whistle had already sounded.

Kwame Brown double caps in one round!

It was Kirilenko and Boozer who were capped, but everyone, including Paul himself, knew it was his fault.

Paul already felt Sloan's stern gaze.

He hurriedly retreated, and only then did he realize that the Blazers' defensive positioning was not decided by the Blazers players, but the Jazz's starting lineup's offensive positioning is fixed. The forward pulls out to pick and roll, the center moves on the left baseline, and can extend as far as beyond the three-point line, and there is a player in the middle distance on the left and a player in the corner on the right... The opponent didn't have to use Liu Xiu to block him from the beginning, It's just a defense against him based on their Jazz's offensive tactics.

Don't think so much anymore, let's invest in defense first!

The head coach said that defense is the foundation of standing.

Paul respects Sloan as a famous coach. Sloan has brought out a super point guard like Stockton and reached the finals twice. In his opinion, not winning the championship is just bad luck. God, and he firmly believes that he is not bad luck, and he is very talented in pick-and-roll offense, and he will definitely have a head start under Sloan.

However, after retreating to the backcourt, Paul looked at Kirilenko with helpless eyes.

Fortunately, the seniors have a way!
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt. It was surprising to see Paul defending him again, but he immediately saw through the opponent's thinking.

He stopped going to the low post, and played singles with the ball in the top arc!
Paul is ready for Liu Xiu to move to the low post. He switches defenses with Kirilenko after Liu Xiu passes the ball, cooperates with his teammates' shrinking pincers, and actively fills up the flanks or mid-range shots. With Kirilenko defending in series, this is They are good at defense.

So, when Liu Xiu took a cross step and broke through to the front right, Paul didn't react all of a sudden!
When Paul moved sideways towards Liu Xiu and posted it, Liu Xiu had already occupied the breakthrough space!
Paul's strength is 183 cm + 80 kg in weight, and he has a strength of 81, which is very powerful among players of the same height. However, after losing his position, he was forced to move laterally against Liu Xiu, and he was violently opposed I lost my balance when I hit it, and fell to the floor with a "paji"!
