Healing Basketball

Chapter 104 104. The Alternative Showdown of Geniuses

The acting is so bad that even high school students can tell that the other party is acting hard.

When anyone can't see that Liu Xiu's back hitting is learned from Randolph...

But seeing it, Chandler was even angrier!

Hinrich was also angry, but calmly patted Chandler's arm.

Chandler looked at Hinrich's stern expression, then calmed down, picked up the ball and served it, and ran forward.

Liu Xiu, who retreated, looked at the small movements of the two geniuses on the opposite side, and guessed that the trash talk would not have any effect in the end... Oh, Hinrich might be more focused...

After fighting for two rounds, Liu Xiu thought of the Kansas leader who became tougher and more unfavorable eight months ago.

But it doesn't matter, these two have already contributed a few rounds of healing value.

The Bulls attacked, Hinrich continued to play pick-and-roll with Chandler, encountered Travis - Outlaw changed defense, went straight inside.

Liu Xiu and Randolph continued to shrink, and Chandler learned it and executed it to pick and roll Kendall Gill.

Kendall Gill ran to the top arc and used the pick-and-roll to receive the ball. He took advantage of the situation and rushed to the inside. A road in the middle led directly to the basket. Liu Xiu, Randolph, Spantina, and Travis Outlaw had a tacit understanding ...blocked together, Kendall Gill has excellent vision, lob...Kirk Hinrich catches the ball behind the crowd and hits a layup!
16 to 24, the Bulls bite the score.

These outrageous teammates, Spantina can't help it. The old player of the 98th class is just an ordinary substitute. He was signed for a total of 185 million US dollars in two years. His ability is just like that, and everything is quite satisfactory.

But Randolph, Travis Outlaw, Matt Carroll all have a lot of room for improvement.

In other games, there are Tianzun, thug Davis, and Kobe Terminator. The defensive end of the three always directs teammates to move and helps teammates defend. It is not obvious.

As long as the five of them went to school together... it seemed that they needed to be taught well.

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched and he took the serve and pushed forward—"I didn't expect that I, as a rookie, would need to teach my teammates how to play! '

It's Randolph's turn to attack.

The conversation between the two after the last round of offense was indeed intended to stimulate the opposing two geniuses of the same class, but it was also true that Randolph asked Liu Xiu to show off his back-to-back jumper skills.

But it is really inappropriate for Randolph to use Chandler to practice turnaround jumpers. Chandler, who just turned 10 in October, is a defensive genius. After the round, you will know how to defend.

Randolph still missed the shot!
And Chandler prepared the shield, and Corey Blunt grabbed the defensive rebound before Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw rushed.

Without further pressing, Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw retreated immediately.

Spantinia did not rush to grab the action. When Randolph made a shot, Spantinia retreated immediately.

Hinrich and Chandler, two geniuses with extremely high defensive talents and no problem with the best defensive team in the future, can see at a glance that the Trail Blazers' defensive discipline is really good.

Hinrich catches the ball steadily and advances in no hurry.

Rigid, meticulous, but not static - Kirk - Hinrich.

On the other side, after crossing the center line, Liu Xiu shouted to his teammates: "Vladimir doesn't have to leave the basket when shrinking the defense. I will cover both sides. Travis, you can cover wherever the ball goes!"

The Bulls attacked, and the ball finally came to Chandler. Chandler cut in after a pick-and-roll without the ball.

This goal was scored, but it was purely because Chandler bullied Spantinia, who was not explosive enough and suffered from a height and wingspan. Spantinia was only 213 cm tall with a head height of 213 cm and a wingspan of [-] cm.

But Hinrich felt the change on the Blazers' defense.

Do whatever you want, be unexpected, but the core is to seek stability - Liu Xiu, the warden.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Randolph ran to the frontcourt and came to the right elbow of the three-second zone. One step away from the free throw line on both sides of the bottom line is Spantonia's fixed-point mid-range shooting area.

The new technology has not yet been developed. Randolph might as well rely on brute force to beat Chandler raw. Then it is unnecessary. It is better to let Liu Xiu practice more on the court.

Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw knew what this friend meant when they saw Randolph's actions, and immediately started moving.

Liu Xiu hit Hinrich with a low back, turned over and made a jump shot...missed!
Chandler shrinks in time and protects the defensive rebound.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Bulls attack.

Hinrich continued to run the pick-and-roll with Chandler, and Kendall Gill cut to the basket around the top arc.

This is a very good tactical coordination, but the other two teammates did not cooperate well and played a 3v5 situation.

This time Randolph blocked the middle, Spantina defended the basket, Liu Xiu covered the wings, and Travis Outlaw interfered with the shot's defensive strategy successfully!

Randolph blocked Chandler, who was cutting in after the off-ball pick-and-roll, and Travis Outlaw leaped high and blocked the shot like a volleyball!
The ball bounced high on the floor and then fell. Liu Xiu held off Corey Blunt near the left baseline to grab the ball.

The offense and defense switched, Liu Xiu continued to receive the ball in the low post and attacked, Chandler made up the defense, and Liu Xiu passed the middle.

Travis Outlaw quickly cut in from the middle after passing the ball, and took off directly after receiving Liu Xiu's return pass. He jumped high with a big step inside the free throw line, and scored two points by gliding and dunking.

Chandler's defensive ability is very strong, but he just moved to Liu Xiu, turned around and Travis Outlaw had already taken off, and he couldn't stop it at all.

This ball can’t be blamed on Chandler rushing to flank Liu Xiu. Even if Hinrich has a height advantage, a sense of style, and mature basic defensive skills in four years of college, one-on-one defense can hardly affect Liu Xiu’s back-up turnaround jumper. .

Liu Xiu didn't make that goal in the last round, but Liu Xiu's basic skills of shooting after turning over were not good enough, so he didn't score.

However, even if Liu Xiu's basic skills are not good enough, Liu Xiu's close-range shooting is very good, and Hinrich's one-on-one defense will cause too little defensive interference to Liu Xiu. To defend against Liu Xiu, it is really watching Liu Xiu practice back hitting on the court.

After testing each other for two or three rounds, the two teams have found a suitable style of play.

The Trail Blazers clearly have the upper hand!
Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, and Zach Randolph are all too familiar with Liu Xiu's low-post attacking style. They also cooperated together in the summer league. The teammate of Spantinia Advantages, know a little bit about everything, listen to the arrangement, and cooperate quite well.

And the Bulls, their players look great.

Chandler and Hinrich are the inside and outside core of this lineup. In the lineup of both sides, the strength is online.

Marcus Fizer, the No. 00 pick in the 4 class.

Corey Blunt, a 10-year veteran.

Kendall Gill, the No. 90 pick in the 5 class.

But Marcus Fizer was stunned, Corey Blunt was not good at all, he was 34 years old, and Kendall Gill was no longer the average 7+21+6 per game in his peak period 4 years ago Top combo guards... After both sides are in good shape, the Trail Blazers have a clear initiative and their advantages are highlighted.

However, regardless of the situation on the court, the coaches of the two teams did not call a timeout or make a substitution, and let Liu Xiu and Hinrich direct the teammates and let them lead the team to play.

The Trail Blazers have an advantage in strength, and the Maurice Cheeks lineup is to allow the three rookies to exercise more.

As for the Bulls, their new coach Scott Skiles created an opportunity for Hinrich to level up.

Scott Skiles is the Bulls' third head coach this season.

The original coach of the Bulls was Bill Cartwright, a master of bad performance. This was the starting center of the first dynasty of the Bulls. , a video editor, took two temporary games before finding Scott Skiles as the coach.

After he came, he quickly asked the Bulls management to build a team with Hinrich as the core.

Bulls have trade rumors, in addition to Hinrich, everyone is a tradeable object.

But there is no deal yet, and the veterans are still there. These people will not listen to Hinrich's command at all, and they are not as easy to conquer as Chandler.

Now this old and weak lineup with weak strength is something that Hinrich can command.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers looked down on their Bulls and sent three rookie partners to practice in the backcourt, Scott Skiles would not change players casually, so he asked Hinrich to practice hard.

When there is a player with a height of 206 cm and more than 120 kg paddling on the field, the performance of the two teams is basically equal to the pecking of chickens.

Different from the ordinary rookies pecking at each other, the two teams played very well. Hinrich was a rookie with a charismatic personality and strong leadership qualities. As the warden, Liu Xiu naturally couldn't let the team play chaotically.

The chicken pecking at each other is about strength, the scene is still very good, Hinrich and Liu Xiu, the two are in charge, and there is a feeling of watching the NCAA basketball championship finals, but both of them are stronger than before, Liu Xiu Show progress is much faster.

Moreover, the younger and better-coordinated Trail Blazers had the upper hand, and the fans at the scene watched happily, cheering and booing endlessly...

After the first quarter, the score was 37 to 26, and the Trail Blazers successfully opened the point difference to more than 10 points.

In the half of the game just now, the score of 17 to 14 was not important, even if the difference of 8 points was tied, it didn't matter.

Maurice Cheeks has seen improvement in the defensive habits of Zach Randolph and Travis Outlaw at this low level of play!
This is difficult to do in a higher level of competition.

For a higher level of competition, the coaches will only make rotations, adjust defensive strategies, and train according to the actual situation, which is impossible.

Moreover, even if it is a low-level competition, it doesn't mean that you can cultivate it if you want to!
It is impossible for the coach to direct the players to move every round, right?Only leaders on the field can do it!
Entering the intermission, Maurice Cheeks patted Liu Xiu on the back with satisfaction: "Jess, you did a great job. Although your assists are not as many as the rookie on the opposite side, you are more effective than him!"

It's okay to praise, but when Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately looked at the big screen, and it was his and Hinrich's data that was posted.

Hinrich, 5 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

Liu Xi remembered that Hinrich had 1 assist in the first half of the quarter, that is, 4 assists in the second half!
He, Liu Xiu, played for more than 5 minutes, scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, which is very good, but he only had one assist!Just the assist that goes directly to Travis Outlaw's gliding dunk, the other offense, either he shoots himself, or he just initiates the offense!
