Healing Basketball

Chapter 118 118. The King of Emergency Stop Jump Shot
The entrance ceremony is over, and the excessive manic cheers of the fans have already cooled down.

But the shocking feeling when the Trail Blazers players came out has already left a deep impression on the fans.

The players of the visiting team also came back to their senses.

Withdrawing from that emotion, Arenas was ashamed and angry.

He actually felt the oppression from a rookie!

Fortunately, he heard a few teammates say that Yunyun was scared just now, and he felt much more at ease.

He just felt oppressed, not scared!This kind of thing must be made clear, the difference is very big!

Moreover, the competition on the court is playing basketball!Even Bill Laimbeer is an All-Star player and a rebounding leader.

Arenas looked at the rookie opposite who was sitting on the bench after entering the court, and cursed again.

When the rookie looked at them, Arenas had already put on a haughty stance, but the rookie's gaze didn't stay on him even for a second!
Although it is said that he is very talented and lucky enough to score 52 points in a single game, isn't he just a rookie who averaged less than 15 points per game?He wants to blow up this rookie!

……

On Liu Xiu's side, the attention was not on Arenas.

Competing with Arenas in strength, then he is... far behind.

Only two months older than Liu, Arenas already has an ability rating of 84, which is close to the level of a first-class star.

When playing against each other on the court, just try your best to deal with it. He is very decisive.

If you can learn something, even better.

But he didn't want to have any interaction with Arenas outside the court, so apart from the game, he had no interest in Arenas.

What he is more curious about is Kwame Brown, the No. [-] pick on the opposite side...

"Kwame Brown, 21 years old, 211 centimeters, 118 kilograms, C/PF, ability evaluation 76, offense 67, defense 84, three-pointer-, mid-range shot-, layup 88, speed 84, strength 93, bounce 94, Flexibility 88... averaged 10.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game..."

Liu Xiu looked at the corners of her mouth twitching—"This physical fitness is like a joke. '

He saw the last insider with such speed, strength, and bounce was Tim Duncan.

'The 21-year-old center has no skills and can average 10+7 per game based on his physical fitness. He was not popular in the first two years. At this age, he can still have a defense close to the first-class level. This is much better than Jordan. !

At the age of 22, Jordan averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds per game and seems to have received an annual contract worth tens of millions. Judging by this performance, the parallel champion seems to be working hard after Boss Joe retired. Why is it getting worse and worse... Uh, I almost forgot , Two years after Boss Joe retired, the champion of parallel imports met a man who was more domineering than Boss Joe...'

Thinking of this incident, Liu Xiu didn't find it strange.

Really, why should high school students make things difficult for high school students, and why should little hands make things difficult for little hands?
Liu Xiu sympathized with the high school student Xiaoshounan for three seconds, and at the same time silently condemned the high school student Xiaoshounan for three seconds.

Liu Xiu glanced at the opposing team, Arenas, Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, this outside trio, it's hard to deal with!

After paying attention to the opponent she cared about, Liu Xiu collected her thoughts, reviewed the scouting report and the information she found, waited for the start of the game, and prepared for the game through the actual situation of the game...

At this time, the system prompts!
"The two counterattack geniuses in the eyes of the people are standing on the court for the first time in their careers. Neither of them is willing to back down... Mission: Trigger the cross knife immediately."

"Hengdao immediately:

Goal 1: The host needs to ensure that the player with the highest score in the game is on the host's team.

Target 2: At least three of the five statistics of the host, including points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks, are higher than or equal to Gilbert Arenas.

Goal 3: Win the game.

Reward: 1.3000 healing value, 2. Open follow-up tasks.

Failure Penalty: For every missed goal, the Overlord will have a season of extremely low form against Gilbert Arenas. "

"..." Liu Xiu looked at the mission that came out suddenly, and was silent for a while, and said, "I'm on the horse, when will I not give in!"

Little Flying Squirrel sitting next to Liu Xiu heard that word again, and asked a question—the warden likes to eat tomatoes?
Back then, Little Flying Squirrel was also the most popular player in this city, with the height of an ordinary person and his strength close to the All-Star level.

But since Sean Kemp came to their team, everything changed. Little Momonga followed Kemp, from on-court performance to off-court news, and became hateful.

Last season, some media interviewed on the streets of Portland. Trail Blazers fans hated the team's players most, and the little flying mouse topped the list.

At that time, he no longer cared what the fans thought of him. At the preseason stage of this season, all he cared about was whether he could get a contract extension, didn't want to be robbed of the starting position, and wanted good statistics...

Now, he has rediscovered his love for basketball, enjoys the game, and loves the cheers of the fans.

His numbers fell to the worst of his career this season, but his reputation has improved a lot, and he has also won the love of a new generation of Trail Blazers fans.

But he didn't participate in such a lively event these days!
He regrets it now. If he had known that he had a good relationship with Liu Xiu from the beginning, then he would have entered the core circle of the "Rose Bay Seven People" and would be the first to appear. Then it would be the "Eight People"... …

……

The Trail Blazers sent Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace to the starting lineup.

After a lapse of more than a month, the extrajudicial fanatics once again got the chance to start.

The Wizards sent Arenas, Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown and Brandon Haywood to the starting lineup.

At 7:[-] in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. The game between the Trail Blazers and the Wizards started... Tianzun lost the jump ball!

Kwame Brown takes the ball away from Tian Zun's head!The Wizards go first!
Kwame Brown's bounce speed and jump height reminded the old fans at the scene of the Spurs' newly retired No. [-] pick, with the body of the center and the bounce of the guard.

The Trail Blazers retreated with good discipline, retreated steadily, and fell into positional defense.

Wizards start the first offensive tactic - Arenas singles.

Jeff McGinnis pressed up when Arenas was close to the three-point line, constantly bumping Arenas with his body.

This is different from what Arenas knew when he was preparing for the battle, but he would not be cowardly, but became more excited because of the constant collisions.

Arenas crossed and changed directions, made a sudden move, pulled horizontally, accelerated again, and made an emergency stop jump shot with one step inside the free throw line... Tianzun's defense was in place, and Arenas made an emergency stop jump shot!

Randolph protected the defensive rebound, and when the Trail Blazers attacked, the twin towers made contributions again, and Tianzun came out to catch the ball and hang it under the basket.

Kwame Brown was taken out by Tianzun, and Randolph turned around and hit a small hook under Heywood's defense.

When the Wizards attacked, the person holding the ball changed, and Stackhouse received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt singles.

The Wizards' opening tactics-the three outside stars take turns playing singles, and the double center hits offensive rebounds.

In singles, if you encounter double-teams, pass the ball if the pass opportunity is good, and play it to the end if it is not good.

This is really purely relying on the personal abilities of the three major stars to play the game.

The Trail Blazers are a team offensive tactic in which Randolph initiates an offense in a low position and Tianzun supports the ball in a high position.

In terms of cooperation, the Trail Blazers are much stronger, and the play style with the twin towers as the core is theoretically more stable than the Wizards' outside three-star rotation singles.

But the Wizards' twin towers composed of two defensive centers of two meters and a few meters have caused big trouble for the Trail Blazers' twin towers.

Randolph can still score relatively stable inside, Tianzun can only pull out to find opportunities to respond.

Fortunately, Heywood couldn't expand to defend, Tianzun pulled to the outside, Kwame Brown was brought out, Randolph stood firm inside, Travis Outlaw cut in and compressed the outside players to defend inside, Tianzun, Jay Jeff McGinnis and Ruben Patterson have more outside shooting opportunities.

It's just that under such circumstances, the Trail Blazers' offensive end can barely maintain stability and cannot hit an offensive climax.

However, the ability of the Wizards' three outside stars was enough to reach 3 minutes and 41 seconds of the first quarter. Arenas hit a three-pointer with a sudden stop and a retreat step, 11 to 10, and the Wizards overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point.

Maurice Cheeks called a timeout with a headache!As soon as the timeout sounded, he saw Liu Xiu immediately stand up and take off his training clothes, and he immediately laughed.

I'm really not afraid that I won't replace you?
According to the usual rotation habits, he usually replaces Liu Xiu after the official suspension.

It is not uncommon to call a timeout at this time, but most of the time it is to adjust the lineup and adjust the style of play, rather than change the style of play and rotate in a large scale.

But this time he is really going to do a large-scale rotation. It can only be said that this kid's ability to judge the situation is too good.

……

The Trail Blazers made personnel adjustments, and the combination of Damon Stoudemire, Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace was replaced.

Liu Xiu looked at the other side, and the other side also made personnel adjustments.

The combination of Blevin Knight, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown and Haywood played.

"Damon, look, there's someone on the opposite side who seems to be shorter than you!"

Little Flying Squirrel clenched his fists—he felt that it wasn't his fault that he didn't have a good relationship with Liu Xiu at the beginning, but that this rookie really owed it too much!
Little Flying Squirrel ran onto the stage with his arms open, very angry, causing bursts of cheers.

Only the cheers of the fans can soothe his wounded heart.

When Liu Xiu stepped onto the court, the system prompt came, and he made a choice, a very simple choice.

"The great magician:
...

Copy opponent: Gilbert Arenas, 21 years old, 191 cm, 87 kg, PG/SG, ability rating 84, offense 90, defense 78, speed 90, strength 84, jumping 92... averaged 19.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game 5.2 assists 1.9 steals...

Good at technology conversion talent: perfect braking.

Bonus effect: When emergency stops are required in technical movements such as breakthroughs and direction changes, the strength of ankles, knees, waist and abdomen... will be greatly enhanced. "

Sure enough, this is it!
Among Arenas' skills, Liu Xiu thinks this is the strongest.

It's a pity that there are no bonuses such as the ability and bounce of the emergency stop jumper itself.

These require a higher degree of matching, like the 95% matching of Baron Davis, which is rare.

Here comes the curious thing again... How come Kwame Brown's defense is only at an excellent level of 84?

As far as the performance in this half of the quarter is concerned, it is properly first-class!
If there is no Tianzun such an insider who can pull the shot outside the three-point line, Heywood is the top man, Kwame Brown blocks the shot, and two big centers who are two meters tall and weigh more than 115 kilograms are guarding the basket, and the no-fly zone All right!

The timeout ends and the Trail Blazers attack.

This wave of rotation is naturally the main attack of Little Flying Squirrel.

But Blevin Knight can keep up when the mouse changes direction!

Little Flying Squirrel didn't get a chance to make an emergency stop or a step-back jumper, and chose to make a deep breakthrough. Seeing this, Ruben Patterson rushed from the baseline to a high position to catch and shoot the ball. Larry Hughes followed, but he didn't always Follow Ruben Patterson, but pinch Flying Squirrel!
The timing of the pincer was very good, the positioning was also very good, and in a split second, Momo didn't have a chance to pass the ball to Ruben Patterson!

But a veteran is a veteran after all, Little Flying Squirrel didn't panic, he rushed into the inside line, and shot in the crowd... "Crack"... got hated!

Little Flying Squirrel didn't know who was blocked, and the technical station had to spend some time carefully looking at the statistics.

The ball was finally snatched by Haywood, and the Blazers' attack failed, but Kevin Pritchar on the sidelines was nodding, and Maurice Cheeks also showed appreciation.

As he got older and was healed by the warden, his hostility began to dissipate. Although there were still troubles off the court, Momonga played smarter and smarter on the court.

The choice of Little Flying Squirrel prevents the ball from being robbed directly, and also prevents Arenas or Larry Hughes from counterattacking by throwing bombs too far.

In the transition between offense and defense, Blevin Knight did not hold the ball to organize the offense after advancing to the frontcourt, but passed the ball to Arenas, and then drilled inside.

This style of play is completely different from that of the Flying Squirrel. After Blevin Knight passed the ball, instead of pulling away, he interspersed with running positions, wandering around within the three-point line, circling the pile, and using pick-and-rolls.

"Blevin Knight, 28 years old, 178 cm, 78 kg, PG, ability rating 77, offense 70, defense-, passing ability 93...speed 94..."

Blevin Knight drills inside like a loach. Although the little flying mouse is faster, it is still very difficult to chase. The teammates cannot let Blevin Knight easily run out of opportunities. On Blevin Knight.

The purpose of Blevin Knight's running position is not to get opportunities, but to create singles opportunities for Arenas on the outside!
On the outside line, Arenas was caught by Liu Xiu as soon as he received the ball.

Arenas took a step back, pulled horizontally before Liu Xiu posted it again, made another cross step, got a big gap, and broke through!
Liu Xiu, who was continuously shaken away, did not give up, turned around and chased hard, Arenas made an emergency stop at the free throw line and shot a jump shot...

Liu Xiu almost fell because of Arenas' emergency stop!
Arenas is like a sports car with perfect braking, and it stops suddenly during the acceleration breakthrough!

This scene made Liu Xiu, who played against Arenas in person, feel pain in his knees.

Blevin Knight restrained Tianzun, and when Arenas shot, it was no different from a big gap...in!
