Healing Basketball

Chapter 598
The little prince was also very helpless when he heard fans scolding him at the bottom line.

He is the one with the best defense and the calmest. His teammates got two free throws. In order to prevent his teammates from missing free throws and being counterattacked, he didn't give high-fives during the free throws of his teammates and directly retreated to the backcourt.

But in the face of the impact of a small guard who weighs 100 kilograms and 190 centimeters, who can withstand it?
Do you have to let him take his life to bear the blow of the warden?

Just scold, scold, who cares...

Billups encouraged Prince when he ran back to the backcourt to receive the serve, but Prince didn't care, the most important thing was to play hard.

The Pistons made the last attack. In 12 seconds, Billups received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to start an attack. The Blazers actively defended. Lynch Hunter received the ball and passed it to Ben Wallace, who made an empty basket Although he scored, he had just received the ball and hadn't thrown it yet. The whistle for the end of the single quarter had already sounded.

After the first quarter, relying on Liu Xiu's counterattack dunk, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 26 to 27, 1 point behind the Pistons and entered the intermission.

The Trail Blazers' bench was full of joy. Although they were behind by 1 point, Liu Xiu and Mourning's final 7-3 play was very encouraging!

Liu Xiu scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter. Ray Allen played nearly 7 minutes and scored 7 points and 1 assist. When he encountered the strongest twin towers in the league, Randolph's offensive role dropped sharply. Lun stood up again and formed a powerful backcourt with Liu Xiu!
...

After the intermission, Liu Xiu came to the bench and sat down. He was replaced by the coach to rest.

He did not force him to play, and it is also important to sit on the sidelines to observe the game and analyze calmly.

Another thing is to trust your teammates. The opponent has already gotten used to his style of play. He scored 4 points at the end of the first quarter, purely relying on his personal ability, and the opponent has already figured out the tactics dominated by him.

At this time, the coach replaced the nerve knife of Little Flying Squirrel. Liu Xiu felt that he did the right thing. At the very least, it could disrupt the opponent's defensive thinking.

And there is Ray Allen escorting Flying Squirrel, Stevenson, Kwame Brown, and McDyess are three defensive champions in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming needs to rest for a few minutes on the opposite side, so there is no need to worry too much.

Maurice Cheeks dared to make such an adjustment, relying on his understanding of the opposing coach.

Sure enough, Philip Sanders sent a combination of Lynch Hunter, Maurice Evans, Carter, Amir Johnson, and Kevin Cato, with a solid rotation.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead, and the Flying Squirrel singled out Lynch Hunter and hit a three-pointer!
"Hey..." Carter ran forward, he knew it was going to be difficult now, the pressure was coming!

That little flying squirrel became more and more demonic with age.

虽然本赛季场均8.4分2.8助攻的表现，是小飞鼠职业生涯第二差数据，仅比02-03赛季快退役一般的场均6.9分的数据好一些，但这家伙可以一场比赛5投0中拿到0分，也敢单场15分。

Moreover, Carter knows that after the Trail Blazers have Raheem playing the sixth man this season, the little flying mouse is no longer a conventional offensive weapon. , but the Trail Blazers didn't care even if the Flying Squirrel was replaced after only two or three minutes in some games.

But the pressure is coming, and Carter is not afraid!
He's Flying Carter!
The Pistons attack, Carter catches the ball from the top arc and singles Stevenson, changing direction and breaking through!
Stevenson followed Carter's footsteps, and Carter made an emergency stop on the right side of the free throw line... suddenly got up and pressed forward to the right!
Others almost chose to retreat if they did not get rid of the defense when they made an emergency stop. When Carter made a pressure, Stevenson did not expect that he was passed.

Carter made a mid-range jumper!
29 flats!
Offensive and defensive transitions, Little Flying Squirrel continued to play singles.

In different situations and with different teammates, Ray Allen is always adjusting his style of play according to the actual situation, or chooses to sacrifice, or chooses to take responsibility.

Now playing singles with Flying Squirrel, Ray Allen is not as active as when he partnered with Liu Xiu in the first half of the first quarter. Instead, he moves honestly, trying to ensure that Flying Squirrel can not make singles shots. He can be in the supporting position.

This time the opportunity came very early. Ray Allen imitated Liu Xiu slipping the bottom line, and the flank came to the free throw line with the cover of McDyess.

The Pistons contracted quickly, and expanded to defend in a timely manner.

Ray Allen sees Amir Johnson fill in as soon as he catches the ball.

Ray Allen doesn't have Liu Xiu's court vision, and he can't notice where there are opportunities after this kind of running position that he is not good at, but he can face the defense and take off decisively...

When Amir Johnson pounced and stretched his hand in place, Ray Allen's free throw line jumper had reached the highest point and began to fall, and it fell firmly into the frame!

The flamboyant little flying mouse was so eye-catching that Carter forgot that there was a top star opponent hidden in the corner.

What he has to deal with is not just the little flying mouse, but the two muskets set up by the Trail Blazers!
Ray Allen averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.4%; Flying Squirrel averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.1%.

Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are the strongest backcourt.

Ray Allen and Momonga are the two guns!
Carter felt that he was about to ignite, and looked at the head coach on the sidelines.

Philip Sanders nodded slightly, and Carter's eyes lit up. At this moment, the head coach in his eyes seemed to be shining!
When the Pistons were attacking, Lynch Hunter advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Carter. Carter made a gesture, and his teammates quickly moved.

Carter's desire to fight was full, and he forced Stevenson to go straight to the basket. Stevenson was focused on defending the shot, but was left behind by Carter. Carter went straight to the basket and took off towards Kwame Brown... ...The benefits of small hands are reappearing, and this ball Kwame Brown has a clean cap!

Flip Saunders rolled his eyes slightly, walked back to the bench and did his job.

The emperor was not in a hurry with the eunuchs. Seeing Carter's style of play, Yao Ming was very nervous, and asked the leader next to him, "Changxi, is it okay for the trapeze to fight like this?"

Billups shook his head: "It's okay, we need him to play like this now. The butcher has no injuries. There is a clear gap between our second team and the Trail Blazers. We need the flying man to do something special."

Yao Ming was still very worried: "If he fights like this, he won't be able to get it back?"

Billups laughed: "Don't worry, he's Vince Carter."

The leader said so, Yao Ming can only relax, take a good rest, and wait for his time to play.

Billups recalled that when Larry Brown was coaching, although Carter played more maturely, he was very depressed. Larry Brown always imposed strict restrictions on Carter's favorite things, such as shooting three-pointers.

Carter is obviously getting happier this season.

But in fact, Philip - Sanders on Carter's restrictions than Larry - Brown to be more.

Larry Brown didn't have too many restrictions except to prevent Carter from shooting three-pointers and preventing Carter from rushing when the opportunity is not good.

And Philip Sanders restricted a lot of things. Larry Brown restricted what he restricted. Larry Brown didn't know what should be restricted, and he also restricted it.

But there is a qualitative difference. Larry Brown is a dead-brainer, while Philip Sanders occasionally allows Carter to do what he likes to do, and even uses Carter's preferences as part of his tactics.

Not only Carter, but Billups thinks about himself too. Larry Brown strictly forbids him to move the ball in a wide range, avoid mistakes, and avoid being counterattacked. Philip Sanders also emphasizes this point, but he often arranges it in tactics he does that...

On the court, Carter began to break through the frame and began to shoot mid- and long-range shots.

The top game between the East and the West, the Chinese Derby, a highly anticipated game, Carter not only did not have stage fright, but played more excitedly and hilariously!
After being blocked, Carter played harder, and he wanted to get back the scene!

As one of the four major shooting guards in the eyes of fans, Carter's personal ability is obvious.

Although the honor is the worst among the four, only he has not been selected for a while. Iverson, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady have all been selected, but in terms of comprehensive skills and shooting range, he is the fourth player of the Iko McCarthy team. The strongest of the big guards!
In more than 3 minutes after being blocked, Carter scored 7 points and 1 assist. After feeding the pie, the Pistons soared by 9 points during this period.

but!

Ray Allen, who is also of the Pan-96 generation, is very clear about Carter's strength.

Anyway, Ray Allen is confident, one-on-one, he is not Carter's opponent.

So he has been urging Little Flying Squirrel to work harder, and his own running positions are also more active, looking for shooting opportunities more actively.

Little Momonga is very aggressive when talking to anyone, and loves to hate each other, but Ray Allen is the type that Little Momonga is not good at dealing with.

This is a person who always sits in a fixed seat on an airplane!
Little Flying Squirrel scored 2 points and 1 assist, Ray Allen scored another three-pointer, Kwame Brown made a dunk and scored two points... The Trail Blazers also scored 7 points during this period!
When the timeout was entered again, the score was tied 38-38!
The head coaches of the two teams were not very satisfied with the situation. Both teams sent a wave ratio. With such a decision, they both wanted to be the one with the upper hand.

At this time, if either Little Flying Squirrel or Carter played badly and the team fell behind, their head coach might not be so awkward.

But Carter counted the mid-range shot at the beginning of the second quarter and scored 9 points and 1 assist; the flying mouse counted the three-pointer at the beginning of the second quarter and scored 5 points and 2 assists. They performed very well. It hurts as a coach to play well and not have an advantage.

At this time, the courageous people will always be the first to make a response, and the timeout is called by Morris Cheeks!
He replaced the starting lineup of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown in advance!
On the home team's bench, Philip Saunders also replaced Yao Ming without hesitation, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so ruthless, so he started directly at this time!
