Healing Basketball

Chapter 105 105. The Selfless Warden
The second quarter begins.

The Trail Blazers sent Damon Stoudemire, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Person, Dale Davis and Rasheed Wallace.

The Bulls sent Janaro Pargo, Jaylen Rose, Pippen, Donyell Marshall, and Eddie Curry.

The Bulls play, Jaylen Rose and Eddie Curry take turns playing singles.

Before the start of the season, people expected Pippen to connect the offense and defense of the Bulls, just like joining the Trail Blazers in the summer of 1999 to transform the Trail Blazers.

But the young people of the Bulls did not have much respect for Pippen, the second man in team history.

Usually, I will definitely give face. Whoever Pippen's suggestion is beneficial to, this person will listen, and will say 'this is what Batman said' when he is fighting for things on the court with his teammates.

But no one cares about who is asked to reduce shots and hold the ball less.

"My grandma and Jordan can win the championship together", this sentence is too lethal.

The Trail Blazers' style of play is actually more poisonous...but they are used to it. The Flying Squirrel is the main attack, Dale Davis steals, Ruben Patterson seizes the opportunity to catch and shoot the ball around the high post, and Wesley Person receives the ball from the wing. The ball is shot or passed, and Tianzun catches the ball from the wing and shoots or goes around the high position to support.

Played for half a quarter, it seems that in the second quarter, the moon came out, and Eddie Curry played very fierce singles in this half of the quarter.

Eddie Curry's offensive performance is as good as the name of the little shark. With a body size of 213 cm and 133 kg, he has flexible feet, soft touch, low back frame, hook hand... and even a turnaround jump shot.

Eddie Curry's offensive comprehensiveness made Randolph on the sidelines unable to curl his lips.

Look at Eddie Curry, and then look at Liu Xiu next to him. Randolph regretted it. He worked a little harder in the past two years. The offensive skills at the basket are not as comprehensive as Eddie Curry, but at least he will not There is such a great sense of crisis in front of Liu Xiu.

Eddie Curry scored 7 points in the half quarter, helping the Bulls score 14 points in the half quarter, and beat the Trail Blazers by 1 point in the half quarter.

With a score of 50 to 40, the Trail Blazers still maintained a 10-point lead.

'If today is an odd-numbered day, I will not change the game. If today is an even-numbered day, I will change to the teammate's all-pitcher style... Ah, today is No. 4! '

When entering the timeout, Liu Xiu made a difficult decision.

After Maurice Cheeks finished reading the rotation list, he said two words similar to "play well", without making substantive arrangements, leaving most of the rest time between the festivals for the players who are about to play to discuss and play.

It is also one of the coach's jobs to observe how the players like to play and how to play efficiently when they play independently.

Liu Xiu pulled a few teammates who were about to play—"You move like this, you run like this and this way on the outside, on the wing, so...so...so...you shoot the ball when you receive my pass!"

……

After the official timeout came back, the coaches of the two teams saw the lineup sent by the other side and smiled at each other.

For the Trail Blazers, the combination of Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Zach Randolph and Spantonia played.

For the Bulls, the combination of Hinrich, Kendall Gill, Marcus Fizer, Corey Blunt and Chandler played.

Everyone tacitly dispatched the training team.

The Bulls go first.

The Bulls actually had substitutions in the first half of the second quarter, but the five players in the lineup led by Hinrich did not play in the first half. Scott Skiles asked a few of them to sit together to summarize the play.

The effect of the adjustment is remarkable, and the position movements of Marcus Fizer and Corey Blunt are much better.

After Chandler finished his outside work, he went outside the reasonable collision zone to receive the ball and gave it to Kendall Gill, who made a mid-range shot from the wing!
When it came time for the Blazers to attack, Liu Xiu didn't drop the post. He made a quick dribble horizontally. After gaining a little space, Liu Xiu made a strong tank attack!

This is a brute force, and Hinrich really can't bear it.

However, Liu Xiu's speed was almost the same as that of Hinrich. After driving Hinrich away, Qiangtu couldn't get rid of the opponent, and was flanked by Chandler.

Corey Blunt and Marcus Fitzer get back to the basket and block the cut, Chandler covers the receiving space of Randolph and Spantonia who moved to the lower limit, Kendall Gill and Matt Carroll was tight, only Travis Outlaw was free, and Liu Xiu passed the ball immediately.

Travis Outlaw received the ball to the left of the free throw line, Chandler received the basket and blocked Travis Outlaw's drive.

Contrary to the expectations of the Bulls players, Travis Outlaw adjusted the ball and pulled up the mid-range shot...'哐'...Iron!
The Bulls guarded the defensive rebound.

The Trail Blazers players retreated quickly. Liu Xiu said to Travis Outlaw during the retreat: "You shot very well. Next time, keep working hard. When defending, you can rest assured that Zach will be blocked in the middle. Leave the supplementary defense of the wing cut to me, and you pay attention to judging whether the opponent's receiver is within his shooting range..."

The Bulls' offense was actually quite simple, the same as the previous round.

Chandler moved outside the three-second zone and was blocked by Randolph when he received the ball one step away, but this time Travis Outlaw did not rush to attack, but cut off the pass between Chandler and the high post player. catch line.

Chandler wanted to find Hinrich, but Liu Xiu had already made up for it. Chandler could only shoot from a place far from the basket... Iron!
The ball bounced towards Liu Xiu and Hinrich. Hinrich did not struggle and turned around to retreat. Liu Xiu received the fourth defensive rebound of the game.

After Liu Xiu caught the ball, he started a fast break and played the transition!
It really caught the Bulls by surprise. Liu Xiu hadn't played like this in the second half of the first quarter, and he was steady.

Hinrich is well aware of Liu Xiu's stability and active defense. He just wants to be an example and use his weak influence to gradually change the team, not to prevent Liu Xiu from leading the team to counterattack.

Who knew that Liu Xiuzhen would fight!
Travis Outlaw and Randolph rushed from the flanks, Liu Xiu advanced in the middle, Matt Carroll was a little slower and hung behind, and Spantina... Come on from behind!

Liu Xiu has slowed down when he entered the three-point line, stopped at the free throw line, Hinrich defended in place, Liu Xiu scored the ball...

The Bulls players had all retreated to the basket. Randolph made a fast break first and charged from the right side. The Bulls players all thought that Liu Xiu would pass to Randolph.

but!

Liu Xiu passed to Travis Outlaw who rushed to the free throw line on the left baseline!
The extrajudicial lunatic made another shot... The shot point was too high, the height of the ball was almost as high as the backboard when it was thrown out, and it hit the hoop straight and straight. After two or three laps, it slowly stopped at the hoop Come on, fall into the frame!
The goal was scored, but Hinrich was at a loss - what kind of operation is this?
Obviously betting on luck!

Randolph cuts to catch the ball from the wing, sprints, dribbles casually, plays with his feet, finds a confrontation, regardless of the Bulls guarding the basket with two people, but Hinrich himself does not feel that Chandler and Marcus- Fizer can block Randolph's catch-and-shoot drive to the rim without hindrance.

It was nothing more than Randolph catching the ball and rushing to the frame to find confrontation and play with his footsteps. Liu Xiu had no assists.

Liu Xiu played like this to get assists?

Hinrich immediately denied this idea. In the final eight months ago, he left a deep impression on Liu Xiu, the core point guard of the team that defeated him.

After Liu Xiu was unexpectedly selected in the lottery, Hinrich followed every game of Liu Xiu's summer league, preseason, and regular season, and he watched all the live games.

Even in the game with 52 points, Liu Xiu focused on stability.

Hinrich suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Hinrich thought about the two offenses of the Trail Blazers just now. Travis Outlaw's exaggerated shot point really practiced his shooting. How can he interfere with his shooting before his running and jumping ability declines?
And looking at Travis Outlaw's hand shape, he has definitely been practiced and has a poor sense of rhythm, but it can also be seen that he has practiced and has certain basic skills... This prison, nicknamed an outlaw fanatic, is extremely powerful. The evil person is also a rookie high school student with super talent,

New chicken time wow a self touch hey many times——

This opponent is helping Travis Outlaw improve in the same session!
Courtside, the Trail Blazers bench.

"Morris, are you saying that Jess is helping Travis improve himself?"

"I think so, Travis is very suitable for this kind of play that catches the ball and has a jumping space and shoots directly, but this kind of play needs to find the feeling in the game, adjust in actual combat, but it needs someone to pass the ball to him... …Jess knew very well that Travis was allowed to play like this when he met a team with the lowest strength like the Bulls.”

"Jess also needs actual combat training..." Kevin Pritchar's tone was a little worried.

"Don't worry about it, Kevin, you see, if the Bulls don't shrink the pinch, Jess will choose to play alone."

"But this kind of thing is really rare... Oh! Look, he chose to pass to Matt! Hey... didn't make it... Matt has three-point talent, but he played too little time. He has two goals this season. Four points at a time!"

"It's okay, it's almost the middle of the season. We can arrange targeted training for Travis and Matt this month. After Christmas, we can increase the playing time of the three of them. This month, we will play the underdogs and make the main players work hard." Give them an advantage and give them more time to practice..."

……

Liu Xiu increased the time of holding the ball, passed it out and let his teammates shoot immediately after receiving the ball... Since the opponent's defense is not very good, the teammate's chances of catching and shooting the ball are not bad, but the strength is not enough, the time of shooting after catching the ball is rushed, and the efficiency is quite poor.

半场打完，分差被公牛队追到了54比59，分差缩小到5分……被打了一波14比9！

Liu Xiu originally thought that collecting assists in this way would arouse negative opinions from coaches and teammates.

But, it seems not?
There was no increase in the healing value, and when he entered the halftime break, he felt the coach's admiring eyes, the appreciative eyes of some teammates, the appreciative eyes of veterans, and the eyes of players with bad relations in the team were also very complicated...
