Healing Basketball

Chapter 127 127. The advantage is still inside

This three-pointer is really lucky!Liu Xiu received the ball only because Kenyon Martin hadn't retreated back from the defense. His team started with enough physical strength to rush down quickly and try to throw one.

There was not much spectrum when he shot, and he counterattacked and chased the three-pointer. He had never practiced the simulation training, so he would usually make a super-long three-pointer at the buzzer...

After being hit, it was even more unpredictable. I didn't expect to get in.

Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line amid the cheers and made an extra free throw. This time it was the Nets' turn to call a timeout.

The Trail Blazers played a wave of 8 to 0! 10 to 12 scores, the two sides are back to the same starting line.

Entering the timeout, Liu Xiu quickly sorted out these rounds.

The impact on teammates during counterattacks and the enhanced awareness of positional movement without the ball in positional battles are the bonuses brought by 'ghost talent'.

But on the defensive end, how to defend, how to make choices, and how to create opportunities for rebounds and counterattacks are up to him.

The Nets' positional offense is not outstanding, and he made good use of this!

During the suspension period, Maurice Cheeks did not make substitutions, nor did he emphasize anything for the counterattack. Instead, he emphasized the details of offensive and defensive positional warfare, giving Randolph, Tianzun, and Ruben Patterson three main points. Adjusting the details by hand.

However, Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw, the two "tops" on the scoring end, were not assigned heavier scoring tasks.

The key training is the key training, the tactical focus, Morris Cheeks has always been the strongest in the lineup.

……

The Nets made substitutions, Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin continued to play, the shooting guard position was replaced by Rodney Rogers, the center position, the big guy came——Alonzo—— morning.

莫宁00-01赛季换肾报销，01-02赛季复出打了75场表现还可以，场均15.7分8.4板2.5盖帽，但02-03赛季打完又换了个肾，上赛季再次报销。

The Nets' center signings have been unfavorable. Mutombo was introduced last season, but Mutombo was beaten by Duncan in the finals.

The Nets, which have only been out in 6 games, lose at the center position.

After learning from the pain, they first cut Mutombo, and then used the precious two-year mid-level contract to Alonzo Mourning, who has been reimbursed for two seasons in the past three seasons.

It is worth mentioning that Malone said during the finals last season that if the Nets power forward was replaced by him, Duncan would definitely be overthrown; Payton is Kidd's big brother...

这赛季莫宁到现在只打了5场比赛，这是第6次登场，前5场比赛场均7.4分2.6板。

Barkley laughed when explaining the Nets game-the Heat were worrying about how to deal with Mourning's contract extension, and the Nets sent money.

The game continued and the Nets attacked.

Kidd and Kenyon Martin continued to play pick-and-roll offense, Richard Jefferson found an opportunity, cut in from the wing, Kenyon Martin made a second pass, Richard Jefferson caught the ball and scored two points.

Kenyon Martin can actually send assists, which makes every player in the Trail Blazers want to complain-playing with Kidd is really a second helper!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Travis Outlaw didn't understand-they just scored 6 points by counterattacking. He thought the coaching staff would start the fast break mode. They had done that before, but they didn't this time.

But Liu Xiu, who got 4 points and 1 assist by counterattack just now, did not play fast after receiving the serve. Instead, he resolutely implemented the coaching staff's arrangement, pressed the rhythm, and played positional warfare.

Sure enough, in this positional battle, Ruben Patterson missed a high catch and shot.

Mourning held up Randolph's impact, grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Kidd, who immediately started a fast break.

Although Travis Outlaw was puzzled, he was an obedient child, and execution arrangements were his first choice.

He has strong athletic ability, and he was the first to retreat in place. Together with Liu Xiu and Tianzun who retreated, they prevented Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin from attacking fast breaks.

Kidd held the ball and didn't have a chance to get the ball. He quickly advanced to the top arc and didn't shoot directly. Instead, he fell into a positional battle and sought stability.

In the next few minutes, until after the official timeout, for a long time, the Nets had the advantage in positional battles, and the Nets had more opportunities to start a fast break.

After being substituted during the official timeout, Travis Outlaw wondered why he wasn't playing fast.

At 9 minutes and 46 seconds into the first quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Nets scored 16 to 23. The Trail Blazers were 7 points behind the Nets. It was Liu Xiu who launched two fast breaks and scored 10 points.

At 10 minutes and 05 seconds, Kidd scored two points from a close-range throw, 25 to 16, and the point difference came to 9 points.

Looking back, Randolph received a pass from Liu Xiu, turned around through the defensive Mourning, and hit a hook on the right sideline of the three-second zone! At 10 minutes and 14 seconds, the score was 18-25.

At 10 minutes and 34 seconds, Richard Jefferson caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and missed a three-pointer. Randolph blocked Mourning. After Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound, Randolph got up immediately fight back.

In the counterattack, Randolph quickly received a point from Liu Xiu, attracting the retreating Nets players to pinch and pass back. Ruben Patterson stood at a high position on the left side of the free throw line to catch the ball...hit!The score was 20 to 25!

Finally, as the game deepened, Randolph and Ruben Patterson, whose shooting performance has been poor, found their feeling!

From one goal, the point difference can be expanded to double digits, and the point difference is only 5 points. Now, it has become the Nets in a panic!

But the Nets are a two-consecutive team after all. Kidd organized a positional battle and attacked steadily. The ball came to Mourning. Hold the situation.

Later, Liu Xiu missed a jumper from the free throw line. Tianzun grabbed an offensive rebound and passed it to Xiao Feishu, who replaced him.
23 to 27, the Trail Blazers can finally bite the score in the regular offensive and defensive battle!

With 17 seconds left in the first quarter, it was the last attack. With 12 seconds left, Richard Jefferson caught the ball and made a fake shot.

Randolph protected the rebound and immediately passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu saw the teammate who was quietly running up the court at a glance... long pass!
Passing accuracy +10, the help given to Liu Xiu tonight is too great, and his passing accuracy has been increased from 86 to 96. When passing the ball, the ball is as obedient as a part of the body.

Flying Squirrel received the ball in the frontcourt and threw it immediately. Less than a second after the ball left his hand, the whistle for the end of the first quarter had already sounded...the ball fell into the frame!

The little flying mouse who made the buzzer shot ran around the field amidst the increasingly frenzied cheers of the fans, and then returned to the bench to give high-fives to his teammates to celebrate.

Little Flying Squirrel just jumped off after confirming that Richard Jefferson would definitely make a shot and that rebounding had nothing to do with him. At that time, he didn't think about how stupid he would be if he didn't receive a fast break long pass... this It's not the first time either.

I didn't expect to catch the ball this time!
But if Randolph grabs the rebound slower, plays the ball slower, and Liu Xiu hesitates after receiving the ball, these two points will be gone!

After hugging and celebrating with Liu Xiu, Little Flying Squirrel thought—"How about buying a cart of tomatoes for the warden?"No, no, why don't you give him a piece of land to plant all the tomatoes?He seems to have complained that his application to turn the yard into farmland was rejected by the road administration...'

Relying on the little flying mouse to score 5 points in a row at the last moment, after the first quarter, 25 to 27, the Trail Blazers fell behind the Nets by 2 points and entered the intermission!
The Trail Blazers are very excited. Finally, they got over the bad start!

Back-to-back second rounds, there are always a lot of questions.

Physical strength and state are difficult to guarantee.

Tonight's Trail Blazers players were not only affected by their physical strength, but they also performed poorly in the opening stage in terms of shooting touch and game feel.

After patiently staying up for a period of time, the feeling of the game finally came back!

Looking at the teammates, looking at the score, listening to the coaching staff making adjustments for the inter-section break...

The extrajudicial lunatic learned a good lesson tonight-what the coach arranged and the tactical core executed, no matter whether he could understand it or not, he just did what he was told.

Let's leave it to the warden to use his brain, he is not worthy of being an outlaw.

Fortunately, he just wondered silently and didn't open his mouth, otherwise he would look like a big fool.

"It's better to be the warden, always smiling, as if he knows everything..."

……

The coaching staff made the adjustments for the inter-section break and left some time for the players as usual.

Liu Xiu was eating yellow peach-flavored candied haws, and Randolph came up to pick one. While eating, he pointed to the big screen: "Look, warden! Your score is the highest in our team!"

Liu Xiu was speechless...

He played nearly 9 minutes in the first quarter, made 6 of 3 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. His performance surprised the coaches and teammates!
When Warden's points, rebounds, and assists are all excellent, it is rare to score more than both rebounds and assists!
However, although he was eating candied haws, Liu Xiu's physical exertion was not as high as in the usual games.

When starting a counterattack, the teammate’s awareness of counterattack is improved, the enthusiasm for counterattack is improved, and the feeling of catching the ball and attacking becomes better; when fighting in the field, the awareness of finding a position is better, and the thinking is clearer.

Moreover, his non-technical and non-basic skills improvement, and his style of play have not actually been adjusted... His teammates cooperate very well, but it is difficult for his opponents to find more ways to deal with them.

So he played more easily and consumed less energy. It's just that he doesn't have to worry about eating candied haws and lunch boxes.

It's time to play, Liu Xiu opened the main interface of the system, and took a look at the eye-catching and refreshing ability evaluation...

With the talent of 'Ghost Talent', he needs to play more cautiously, to avoid hot-headed fast breaks, and to avoid thinking about the main attack when he thinks he can find better shooting opportunities.

Their Trail Blazers didn't rely on him to lead the fast break to win, nor did they rely on him to score that point in positional battles.

They rely on the twin towers!They are among the top twin towers in the league!
……

……

There is a saying that any team in the West that can make it to the playoffs can win the final runner-up, the Nets. This is definitely impossible. Both the Nets and the Spurs reached G6, and Duncan scored 6 points, 21 rebounds and 20 assists in G10. In the finals, the epic triple-double hammered, and the Nets were defeated.

靠着邓肯夸张的场均24.2分17板5.3助攻1抢断5.3盖帽，马刺队才以4比2的大比分颇为艰难的击败篮网队。

In the regular season, the Nets play the Western Conference playoffs. The teams lose more and win less. The resilience of the post-game is obvious to all.

But most teams in the West naturally restrain the Nets. This is true, just like Duncan's outrageous 24+17+5+5 performance against the Nets in seven games in the Finals.

When the Trail Blazers found the feeling of the game, the twin towers of Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, Kenyon Martin really wanted to cry!
Tianzun's size is almost the same as Duncan, one size bigger than Kenyon Martin.

Randolph, who is about the same height as Kenyon Martin, is also a circle bigger than him.

The Trail Blazers started 2 to 11, and ended the first quarter with a score of 25 to 27, that is, they scored 8 to 23 in the next 16 minutes. very difficult.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers overtook the Nets 38 to 34 and entered the official timeout. During this period, the Trail Blazers made another wave of the Nets, scoring a score of 4 to 13.

The Nets averaged less than 90 points per game this season, and scored 31 points per game in counterattacks, fast breaks, and transitions, more than one-third of the total.

The basis for supporting the Nets' performance is their defensive performance.

When you can't prevent it, you can't talk about counterattack.

However, the Nets are very resilient, and Kidd has been encouraging his teammates and waiting for opportunities.

篮网队现在备受打击，11比2领先9分开局打到了34比38。

That is, Kidd, the superstar who joined the Nets in the summer of 2001 and brought the Nets from 26 wins to 56 losses to the number one in the Eastern Conference and the finals, can keep his teammates patient.

The opportunity came in the second half of the second quarter!

The back-to-back impact of the Trail Blazers came, and the performance of positional battles and the effect of counterattacks were greatly reduced compared with the first half of the quarter!

篮网队一波11比5将比分反超，45比43重新领先开拓者队2分。

Maurice Cheeks tried his best to adjust and replaced the double point guard combination of Little Flying Squirrel and Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu caught Corey Kittles defending him and hit him twice in a row, forcing Kidd to switch to him. Then, it was the turn of Little Flying Squirrel to fight against the Nets in singles.

Little Flying Squirrel doesn't have much time to play every night, but his stamina reserves are pretty good.

In the last 3 minutes of the first half, Liu Xiu and Xiao Feishu each scored 4 points.

The characteristics of the Nets are revealed again-the opponent's scoring performance is good, and their scoring performance is poor.

Fortunately, they did not continue to fight back this time, and they performed well in the positional battle, scoring 7 points during this period.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers entered the halftime break behind the Nets by 51 point 52 to 1!
……

After working hard for a quarter, the point difference was only narrowed by 1 point. Randolph complained when he returned to the locker room at halftime.

Liu Xiu shrugged and replied, "It's better than the gap continues to widen. At least we narrowed the gap by 1 point."

Randolph heard the words, thought for a while, and nodded: "The warden is right!"

The team's internal and external talent representatives are so open-minded. The teammates who were a little frustrated at first felt reasonable after hearing the words.

During the intermission, the Trail Blazers coaching staff and players all used their brains to think about how to play the second half of the game and actively offered suggestions.

The major adjustments that are difficult to make during timeouts and inter-section breaks have now been made-more use of Liu Xiu's excellent counterattack performance tonight.

It's not new for Liu Xiu to lead his teammates to counterattack, but tonight's state is exceptionally good, so there is no sense of disobedience when the teammates cooperate.

Travis Outlaw learns a few more things, gets a little notebook and writes...

The outlaws firmly believe in what the warden said - don't be afraid to discover your ignorance. It's even more terrifying when one day you feel that you don't need to learn anything.

……

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers regained their momentum and once again played a wave of onslaught.

Randolph was fierce in the positional battle, Tianzun did a good job of coordinating and following up counterattacks, Liu Xiu caught the Nets and did a surprisingly good counterattack... When Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Tianzun were on the court at the same time, the Trail Blazers The team beat the Nets 17 to 8!

When the official timeout of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took an 68-point lead 60 to 8!

With more adjustment time, more rest time, and better use of advantages, the performance of the Trail Blazers in this wave is completely aimed at breaking the confidence of the Nets.

However, with the experience in the second half of the second quarter, and Kidd, the superstar who convinced every Nets player, the Nets players stabilized!
In the second half of the third quarter, Liu Xiu and Randolph were still on the court, and Tianzun went down to rest... It seemed that there was only one weak point missing, but the actual strength loss was more than half!
No one in the Trail Blazers can make up for Tianzun's role in protecting the frame!

The Nets returned the Trail Blazers 17 to 9 in the second half of the third quarter!

After three quarters, relying on Kidd's 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, the Nets tied the score and entered the intermission!
……

A tie enters the final quarter!

With such a result after three quarters, it is rare for both teams to be very happy.

The score was 77 to 77, no matter what, the two teams were going to fight to the end.

Kidd stood on the sidelines and looked at the data comparison on the big screen.

The best performance of the Nets is naturally the number one in scoring, rebounding, and assists. He basically doesn't attack.

Trail Blazers...Liu Xiu! 13 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal!

Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound many times to counterattack tonight, and Kidd admired it very much.

Not because of those 8 assists, but because Liu Xiu didn't start the fast break with the goal of getting assists, but with the goal of creating better fast break scoring opportunities for the whole team.

This is where Kidd appreciates Liu Xiu.

If Liu Xiu started the fast break with the goal of getting assists, based on Liu Xiu's passing state tonight, Kidd thinks that Liu Xiu definitely has double assists in assists.

Kidd didn't want to see with his own eyes that his rookie season's 4 triple-double performances were tied, but now it seems that there is no need to run.

The inexplicable Kidd showed a competitive spirit...he wanted to compete with Liu Xiu!
Kidd, who had just emerged and was already in his thirties, immediately controlled it. He was already past that age...

Moreover, just him and the rookie on the opposite side, one shot 20 of 8 shots, and one shot 11 of 5, what a blast!
