Healing Basketball

Chapter 583. 583. The Amazing Son of the Wind
So fast!

When the Suns scored a goal, 25 seconds passed the game. When Liu Xiu scored a goal in the last round, the Trail Blazers took 18 seconds to attack. It took 7 seconds.

Although he had repeatedly emphasized before the game that he had made enough mental preparations, Liu Xiu was caught off guard by the opponent's 7-second attack for the first time against the Suns who had adjusted and entered the state!

The action speed of the extrajudicial fanatic who picked up the ball and served was obviously faster than usual. When Liu Xiu advanced to the front court, he almost couldn't hold back and started playing singles directly. Enter the positional battle and launch an attack steadily.

Raja Bell puts up on Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu sideways and easily carries the oppressive defense, Kwame Brown pulls out to pick and roll, this time it is Marion who expands to defend, Liu Xiu sees this and directly passes the ball to Raheem , Raheem singled Kurt Thomas, feinted a shot and made a layup!
Rahim's singles attack was very fast this time. He didn't even dribble the ball, and he added an assist to Liu Xiu in the singles.

As soon as Raheem made a shot, Liu Xiu took the lead to retreat. However, the Suns did not continue to attack for 7 seconds this time. Kurt Thomas picked up the ball and served. Although Nash advanced quickly, Nash advanced to the frontcourt and launched a pick-and-roll attack Although the rhythm is fast, it is not to continue to play 7 seconds of offense.

This was another rhythmic discomfort for the Trail Blazers, who were stimulated by the previous round and desperately retreated. Nash rushed to close range, hit a horse-riding archery jumper, and caused a foul by Kwame Brown who was defending!

Nash's rhythm control!
Nash, who is 31 years old and less than two months away from turning 32, has made such a huge improvement!

It's not the improvement in technology, but the control of the running and bombing rhythm and the use of the rule that the defense above the free throw line cannot be used has become better.

But Liu Xiu is not too surprised. Nash, who has entered the new era and joined a suitable team for more than a year, should have such progress.

With Nash plus a free throw, the Suns overtook the Trail Blazers by 5 point 4-1.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Ray Allen. Ray Allen understood Liu Xiu's meaning and played singles.

Ray Allen is still a little excited. In the past two years, his teammates have been named by the Trail Blazers, and now...he has joined!
The object of the roll call is naturally Steve Nash, the son of the wind who ranks at the forefront of the league in defensive enthusiasm!

Ray Allen broke through to the middle distance and hit a jumper with an emergency stop, which was very easy.

The Suns' defense is still unlimited one-on-one defense + cutting off the passing line.

Nash is the defensive loophole of the Suns. Ray Allen was tired of playing Nash. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen picked and called Nash. Nash went to defend the outlaws. Pulling it up and throwing it away, Nash jumped up so hard that he couldn't even touch the elbow of the outlaw.

Dior's defensive weakness is not easy to take advantage of, but Liu Xiu can also use the pick-and-roll offense or help Rahim create misplaced singles opportunities.

The Trail Blazers have adapted to the rhythm of soaring points against the Wizards in the last game. Tonight, they played like a fish in water and soared again!

雷-阿伦4投3中拿到7分、拉希姆6投5中拿到10分、夸梅-布朗2投2中外加2中2的罚球拿到6分、法外狂徒拿到5分……加上刘秀的5分3板3助攻，开拓者队首节拿到37分！
The Suns' defensive strategy was implemented, and they did not waver because of the Blazers' singles hurricane, but responded on the offensive end.

Facing the Blazers' top defense, the Suns also scored 30 points.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Suns by 37 points 30 to 7!
...

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers used strong singles to crush the Suns' team offense.

But the good times didn't last long. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers withered in singles!

Payton, who got the chance to play tonight, did not perform well in singles. He took two games off to recharge his batteries and defend against Nash. But it was the first time Payton saw Nash's style of play. He couldn't defend on the defensive end and was beaten badly. No, the offensive singles performance was not good. He played 4 minutes and made 3 turnovers. He only scored 2 points and 3 turnovers, and was replaced.

Little Momonga played normally, and it's normal for him to be unable to defend, but he also had a bad offensive touch tonight, and was replaced with 3 of 1 shots.

For the usual game, the little flying mouse made 3 of 1 shots, and Maurice Cheeks would also be patient, waiting for the little flying mouse to get back to the feeling.

But tonight is different, the Suns' offense in the second quarter is still going wild!
纳什6分2助攻、巴博萨9分、蒂姆-托马斯6分、马里昂2分2助攻、迪奥6分2助攻……太阳队第二节再次单节30分！
As for the Trail Blazers, although Ray Allen scored 6 points and 3 assist on 7 of 1 shots, Liu Xiu made 4 of 3 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus an additional penalty, and scored 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. , but apart from the two of them, the teammates only scored 5 points in total. The teammates' singles offense was ineffective, and they made mistakes again and again. The team made 10 turnovers in a single quarter and only scored 20 points!
半场打完，靠着纳什的13分5助攻、巴博萨接应投篮拿到15分、迪奥的9分4助攻……太阳队以60比57反超开拓者队3分进入第二节！

刘秀13分5助攻、雷-阿伦14分4助攻、拉希姆10分，开拓者队三大球星得分上双，还是被反超了。

Everyone in the Trail Blazers was shocked. The seemingly inconspicuous defense of the Suns was so powerful under certain conditions!

The ability to cut off the passing and receiving lines is simply amazing!
When Payton, Raheem, and Momonga couldn't play singles in the second quarter, the Suns' defensive power to cut off the pass and receive lines became more and more powerful!
...

If you change your opponent, you may really be hit by the Suns' performance in the second quarter, but the Trail Blazers will not.

Maurice Cheeks has great trust in the scoring ability of his own players, and Liu Xiu, the core of the ball, also trusts in the singles ability of his teammates.

Since the opponent's single defense is a loophole, due to their lack of connection between the inside and outside lines, it is difficult to play a team defense that combines inside and outside lines, then continue to attack singles!
Persistence is correct, relying on Ray Allen's 7 points in a single quarter, Liu Xiu's 5 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, Flying Mouse's 8 points in a single quarter, Raheem's 6 points in a single quarter, plus Kwame Brown's 2 points, The Trail Blazers relied purely on individual singles attacks by stars, scoring 28 points in a single quarter!
On the Suns side, the performance was stable in the third quarter, scoring 28 points.

85 to 88, after three quarters, the Trail Blazers clenched the score!

The Suns' idea of ​​taking advantage of the victory to establish a clear lead fell through!
However, neither D'Antoni nor Nash was surprised.

The opponent is not so easy to deal with even if Randolph is absent. The super backcourt combination of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen is too fierce!
Ray Allen scored 13 points on 8 of 21 shots in three quarters, the highest in the game!
Everyone thought that Ray Allen went to the Trail Blazers as a supporting role, and became a luxurious version of Fisher next to Liu Xiu.

But I didn't expect that during Randolph's injury, Ray Allen became the first offensive point of the Trail Blazers.

The most important thing is that the opponent was playing tricks, and Raheem cut his salary by a large margin to stay on the team. When Randolph was away, the Trail Blazers also had a top scorer Raheem inside, scoring 16 points in three quarters.

Although Raheem's performance is always sluggish when facing a tough inside defense, their Suns defense can't be said to be tough, relying on skills.

The current situation makes Feng Zi extremely excited, and the decisive moment with the warden is here!

After returning from the intermission, Liu Xiu, who played 30 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 18 points and 6 assists, stepped onto the court excitedly.

Liu Xiu and Nash looked at each other. At this moment, although they were not aligned, they could still see the sympathy in each other's eyes.

At the start of the final quarter, the Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Stevenson, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

The Suns sent a combination of Nash, Raja Bell, James Jones, Tim Thomas, and Kurt Thomas.

After the preparation of the third quarter, the confrontation between the two teams entered a fever pitch!
太阳队打出了全场比赛他们最强力的一节进攻，纳什4投2中，进的俩球都是三分球，加上4中4的罚球，单节拿到10分3助攻，加上马里昂的8分、蒂姆-托马斯的6分、迪奥的10分2助攻……末节狂飙38分，超过了开拓者队首节的37分！
开拓者队方面进攻打得也很猛，雷-阿伦末节12分1助攻、刘秀末节9分2助攻，两人携手带队在末节拿到33分。

But unfortunately, the Suns performed too well, and the basic work on the defensive end was also done extremely well.

刘秀14投8中，其中三分球5中3，外加10中8的罚球，拿到27分11板8助攻、雷-阿伦33分、拉希姆23分、夸梅-布朗13分9板3盖帽……还是不敌拿到太阳队。

Nash's second-highest 32 points and 13 assists were even better than Liu Xiu's shooting performance of 14 of 9 shots.

Under the leadership of Nash, the Suns beat the Trail Blazers 126 to 118, giving the Trail Blazers their fourth loss of the season!
...

"This time I was lucky. If we missed a three-pointer or missed two three-pointers, the situation would be completely different."

"Of course, you are just lucky, I am the champion."

"..." Why didn't Nash see that this guy was so stingy before?

Oh, by the way, I didn’t know that well before. After losing, this guy left early. How could he come to say a few words after the game? that!

Obviously won the game, but Nash felt healed at this moment.

After cured the son of a storm, Liu Xiu's mood improved a lot.

Sure enough, helping others is the happiest thing.

Losing is very uncomfortable, but Liu Xiu has tried his best, and his teammates have also tried their best.

But the firepower is still a little bit worse!
It’s luck, but it’s inevitable. After the three musketeers of the Sonics were disbanded, the Suns were the strongest three-point team in the league, averaging 10+ three-pointers per game. Tonight they made 27 of 15 three-pointers. , but not to the extent of exaggeration, just powerful.

It was night, Liu Xiu entered the simulation training mode, calmly replaying the game.

After some thinking, he understood why the Lakers' 06-3 lead in 1 could be reversed by the Suns in the original time and space; Invited to deal with the Suns.

The Suns defense is too extreme!
The Suns' defense always allows opponents to have singles opportunities, and has a singles advantage, allowing opponents to be in a situation where singles are more favorable than team offense.

Therefore, in the 06 Western Conference finals in the original time and space, the Mavericks with unlimited singles could narrowly beat the Suns 4-2, but the Lakers, which led the Suns 3-1 in the first round, would be reversed.

The Lakers were able to go 3-1 because of Kobe's rise to C in the playoffs that year, but when Kobe's C stopped moving, his teammates were not as capable as Nowitzki's teammates, so they couldn't stand up to help.

In the Spurs in 07, Duncan was at the critical point of decline in strength. He was blown up in the matchup with the bully. At that time, the Spurs still played with the defense and the dead grass troika. It really wasn't the Suns who had the top-level defense ability of cutting and receiving the ball after Raja Bell and Kurt Thomas. His opponent, even if he used an outside move, was almost overthrown by the Suns.

After analyzing a wave, Liu Xiu discovered an amazing thing!

In the original time and space, if it wasn’t for Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Terry, Stackhouse, etc. who were too fierce in singles and restrained the Suns, the Suns might have been the season of this year. The number one favorite in the playoffs!

In terms of the configuration of the Heat team, it is unlikely to be the opponent of the Suns. The Heat lost to the Suns 98 to 107 two days ago. They were beaten by Nash, who had 18 points and 14 assists. Got 21 turnovers.

Liu Xiu couldn't believe this conclusion.
