Healing Basketball

Chapter 809 809. Against the Trend
These four stars, plus role players such as Prince, Webber, Ronald Murray, Muhammad, Mark Hill, Lynch Hunter...

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, it takes such an opponent to be energetic!

On the other hand, the Pistons players are full of confidence. They currently have 11 consecutive victories, ranking first in the league, and they are in full swing!
Moreover, before the Trail Blazers won 8 consecutive victories, they lost to the Pistons.

Now the Pistons want to be the one to end the Blazers' eight-game winning streak.

Avenge last season!

This is how the Trail Blazers treated them last season!
In the Christmas game, there was no pre-match greetings between the two teams. The more times the two teams played against each other, the deeper the grievances.

Soon, at 7:58, the referee informed the two teams to start.

"The Great Mage: Game Status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Ray Allen, characteristic conversion talent: quick shot (full blood)...

Opponent: Chauncey Billups, trait conversion talent: top-arc killer..."

"Talent: Sharpshooter is temporarily activated..."

"Talent: Giant Killer temporarily activated..."

Liu Xiuting wanted to copy Carter. Carter's "challenge" was quite interesting. He challenged the opponent's strongest skill and gained bonuses for that skill. With so many domestic fans watching the game, he chose the most suitable two talents to copy.

That's right, Liu Xiu was speechless looking at the insiders on the opposite side. The Pistons' new insiders Webber and Muhammad, both of whom are less than [-] meters tall, couldn't trigger the giant killer.

A good talent for whoring for nothing is only useful to female Zhao Riyue.

After a wave of slander, Liu Xiu stepped onto the court after putting on her chalk and high-fiving Ray Allen.

Here comes the mission!

"People generally put the host's team out of the ranks of the championship team, the host needs to prove to everyone that you are still a strong team... Mission: Triggered by the certificate of a strong team."

"Evidence of a strong team:
Goal: To continue the winning streak and get at least 10 consecutive victories.

Reward: Winning streak multiplied by 2000 healing value. (at least 10 consecutive victories)"

"The Bad Boys Legion show their sharpness and make waves in the alliance. The host, as the warden of the prison team, needs to show the Bad Boys Legion what it means to be more waves... I am the warden series mission: teach the bad boys a lesson."

"Teach the bear children:

Objective 1: The host must score higher than Yao Ming.

Goal 2: The number of dunks by the host must be higher than that of Vince Carter.

Goal 3: The host needs to make more three-pointers than Chauncey Billups.

Reward: Every time a target is completed, bounce +1, if the host's bounce has reached the top level, it will be converted into a normal bounce card. "

There are tasks, Liu Xiu is not surprised, but these two tasks...he doesn't need to prove to other teams that they are still a strong team for the championship!

They won two consecutive championships, and they still need to prove this?
I wish others would not regard them as a championship team, okay!
There is a second task, what does the description mean?
...

Liu Xiu came to the field, and not long after, the game started.

The starting lineups of the two teams are the same as the finals half a year ago. The Trail Blazers: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, Kwame Brown; Pistons: Billups, Carter, Prine Adams, Ben Wallace, Yao Ming.

Kwame Brown defeated Ben Wallace to win the jump ball, and Liu Xiu quickly advanced to start the fast break.

The Pistons defended very well. Yao Ming retreated to the basket, Ben Wallace made a mid-range defense, Prince met Liu Xiu, Carter and Billups rushed to the wings, blocking the Blazers' opening fast break.

But Liu Xiu didn't slow down. He rushed inside against Prince and made a pass back. Ray Allen caught the ball and took a two-point shot...missed!
Yao Ming got stuck, Ben Wallace took the defensive rebound and passed it to Billups, Billups pressed the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, the Trail Blazers started a hand-to-hand defense!
Billups quickly made a judgment, controlled the rhythm, and hit the success rate.

Time was running out. Yao Ming went to the low post on the left side of the three-second zone. Billups lobbed the ball to Yao Ming. Bottom line, avoid Randolph's left-handed hook!

There was no temptation in this match, and the two teams directly started a rhythm battle from the very beginning.

The Trail Blazers' style of play-speed up, strengthen confrontation, and fight a war of attrition.

The Pistons' style of play-positional warfare, offensive and defensive, steady and steady, balanced offense and defense.

At the official timeout of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed the Pistons by 9 points 13-4.

During the timeout, the Trail Blazers replaced Stevenson and Millsap, formed a tough frontcourt trio with Kwame Brown, and continued to deploy Liu Xiu and Ray Allen on the back line.

The Pistons replaced Ben Wallace and Carter with Ronald Murray and Webber. Billups, Prince and Yao Ming continued to play.

Because of age, Ben Wallace's playing time dropped from 35.5 minutes per game last season to 30.5 minutes per game.

After returning from the timeout, seeing the Pistons deploying this lineup, Liu Xiu immediately issued an order...Unfortunately, the 'Kobe Time' failed to start, and the Trail Blazers failed to score for several minutes after returning from the timeout.

However, the Pistons' offense was also pulled down, and the scoring was also declining compared to the first half.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 7 points and the Pistons scored 11 points.

16 to 24, the Trail Blazers entered the second quarter behind the Pistons by 8 points.

After the start of the second quarter, Liu Xiu saw that Yao Ming was replaced for a rest, and gave another decisive order to start the West Coast mode.

This time Liu Xiu went crazy!

A pull-up jumper, a counter-attack dunk, a two-pointer after a pick-and-roll, three goals in a row to start Kobe's time, and then a long two-pointer against the defense, a throw-up shot that burst into close range, until the Pistons advanced Putting Ben Wallace and Yao Ming on, Ben Wallace made up defense and fanned Liu Xiu to the basket and slipped to the bottom line for a backhand layup, which interrupted Liu Xiu's continuous scoring.

But in the first few rounds of the second quarter, Liu Xiu scored 10 points. During this period, he and his teammates defended against the Pistons and only scored 4 points.

26 to 28, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to two points!

In the rest of the second quarter, Liu Xiu missed three shots and scored two points only by free throws. After the Pistons contained Liu Xiu's point, their strength advantage was revealed again.

However, the effect of the Trail Blazers' iron-blooded tactics has become more and more obvious. Even Liu Xiubiao's stages are still hitting the defense.

In the next 9 minutes of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers only scored 14 points, but they also limited the Pistons' scoring to only 17 points.

24 to 21 in a single quarter, after halftime, the Trail Blazers and the Pistons scored 40 to 45, 5 points behind and entered the intermission!
Everyone in the Trail Blazers is very excited!

Although they failed to overtake the score in one fell swoop with the momentum of the warden scoring 10 points in a row, they also gained an advantage in a single quarter!
