Healing Basketball

Chapter 186. Chapter 186. The back is gradually heavy
Liu Xiu and Nowitzki came to teach Chinese for a while, but they couldn't really teach it all at once.

Liu Xiu thought of a way, and used pen and paper to make out the sound of each word in English, which was almost enough.

It is worth mentioning that he did not write Chinese characters on it...

When the two were teaching Chinese, the Trail Blazers players were watching from a distance.

Hasn't an opponent come to their Trail Blazers' training ground for two years?

Is it still the German guy?
Little Flying Squirrel felt unbelievable, and said to Al Harrington: "We used to beat our own people, and when someone stole things, they also stole from our own locker room. We drank ourselves into pigs because of drinking... Others were so afraid us.

The warden was playing someone from another team. How could a good guy like the German not be afraid of him? "

Al Harrington sweats in a drop...

Was this team so outrageous before the warden came?

Fortunately, it was late!
……

At 7:40 p.m., at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks entered the stadium.

After the players entered the field, Jamison took the initiative to chat with Liu Xiu.

The topic of conversation is that if there is time during the offseason, I will ask Carter and the three families to go fishing or something.

Jamison and Carter have multiple relationships, college teammates, best friends, brother-in-law...

Liu Xiu felt that after the All-Star weekend, there was a big change, and more opponents took the initiative to contact him.

Black people have smart people too.

Antawn Jamison, in Liu Xiu's opinion, is a smart man.

It's not that he came to chat with him this time. He thinks Jamison is smart, but the choice of Jamison and Anthony Walker this season.

In the same situation, Jamison made a completely different choice from Anthony Walker.

Play well as a substitute, show your excellent qualities that you are willing to sacrifice for the team, and show your teamwork.

There must be losses, and Jamison minimized his losses.

And Anthony Walker has a bad reputation.

In the two games after the All-Star break, the Mavericks showed a new look. People can blame Anthony Walker for their poor performance.

Liu Xiu remembers that when Jamison was almost 34 years old and went to partner with James, they still had an annual salary of more than 1000 million dollars. Anthony Walker, who was a little younger than Jamison, had already stayed away from the NBA.

……

The game is about to start, and the referee notifies the starters of the two teams to play.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup has been adjusted. Tonight's starting center is Dale Davis, and the other four have not changed.

Liu Xiu was on the technical stage, putting on some chalk, thinking who should copy tonight?
Nowitzki copied it, but it didn't work. The second time he played against the Mavericks, he copied Anthony Walker, which was not bad, but this guy was traded away.

Today is different from the past. In the previous two matches against the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers had an obvious advantage in strength. At that time, the Mavericks were in different states.

This time, the opposing team started - Nash, Finley, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Ratliff.

The starting lineup has what it wants, and there is no one who occupies whose running position or scoring area. There is also a player like Jamison who can average 25 points per game on the bench.

But Liu Xiu looked around and really didn't know who to copy...

'Just point guard! '

Because of the huge differences in all aspects, Liu Xiu never thought of copying Nash. If he met Kidd, he would not hesitate to go to Kidd.

"The great magician:
...

Opponent: Steve Nash, 30 years old, 191 cm, 85 kg, PG, ability rating 86...Average 14 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists per game...35% matching...

Feature conversion talent: technical flow (outside), bonus effect: 1. Slightly improved ball feel, 2. It is easier to find the rhythm when the host uses outside player technology. "

Liu Xiu clapped her hands, this level of matching, this characteristic transforming talent, is better than nothing.

Maybe copying Nash next year will be different?Son of the Wind!
However, if the Mavericks really go directly to the championship this year, it is hard to say whether Nash will leave.

In both cases, Liu Xiu is looking forward to it.

At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air.

Ratliff easily beat Dale Davis to win the jump ball, Nash caught the ball and advanced, and the Mavericks went first.

Nash was close to the three-point line, Liu Xiu pressed up and defended hand-to-hand.

Directly on the pressure, Nash's movements were squeezed crookedly, but the ball was well protected, he took advantage of the situation to open up a little space, took a step horizontally, and shot the ball quickly... Liu Xiu was swayed away!
Nash's super sense of the ball and rhythm, coupled with an almost perfect technical flow breakthrough, passed Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu turned around and chased after Nash. After the start, he couldn't catch up with him, but he still chased after him with all his strength.

With such enthusiasm, the teammates are also very active in defense... although it is useless.

Nash grabbed the ball from inside the free throw line, took off with a leaping movement, and took the ball out...a big throw was made!

2 to 0, the Mavericks took the lead first.

Liu Xiu licked the corner of her mouth, received the serve and advanced.

It's still the long-haired Nash, the same person... But the difference from the previous two fights is too big!
That kind of smart, free and easy, freehand brushwork...

You said it was just a son of a version?
But it's not shocking either.

He never really felt that Nash was only as good as 'No-handcheak'.

It's not that Nash is the only one who enjoys that rule, why don't others get an MVP.

And in the past three seasons, Nash has had two three teams and two All-Star substitutes.

The top scoring ability that Nash showed just now, Liu Xiu thinks it is normal.

Coming to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu didn't feel the effect of 'slightly improved ball feel', but when he leaned over to make a breakthrough, he felt good!

The effect of making it easier to find the rhythm of the technical flow is triggered!

Nash, who was keeping one step inside the three-point line, saw Liu Xiu's squinted eyes suddenly widen and looked at him, as if he had malicious intentions...

Liu Xiu still has a little confidence in his technical progress over the past half season... Playing Nash should always feel a little invincible, right?
Liu Xiu chooses to rush!

On the defensive end, Nash had accurate predictions, quick feet, a positive attitude, and fearlessness...he was tricked by Liu Xiu and jumped out.

After Liu Xiu changed direction, he was careful to guard against it. It would be embarrassing if he was blocked by Nash, but they all rushed to the low area on the left sideline of the three-second zone, and no one blocked him... Oh, here we come!
The inside line is over!

Liu Xiu really didn't expect Nash's defense to be so bad, a change of direction came directly to the inside!
Ratliff made up, and Liu Xiu subconsciously grabbed the ball and jumped horizontally.

Ratliff deserves to be the league's top defense master, he quickly turned around and took off to block the shot...

Ratliff thought that when he turned around, Liu Xiu had already taken two steps to take off and shoot, but Liu Xiu just took the second step!
And, it's the Eurostep!
Liu Xiugang stepped to the top of the arc in the reasonable collision zone, and bounced back to the left sideline of the three-second zone with force with his right foot.

Ratliff didn't give up. After landing, he quickly turned around and rushed towards Liu Xiu again, even if he fouled...

Overhead!

Liu Xiu took the third step after Ratliff saved the three-second zone and made a layup!
It's too slow, and it's in the sense of Ratliff, a top defensive leader with sharp reflex arcs, top athletic ability, and excellent dynamic vision.

Others looked at Liu Xiu as a slower paced European step, but Ratliff, like a jumper who had just entered the NBA, was tricked by Liu Xiu's footsteps.

The Mavericks players were very surprised by this ball - in the previous two matches, Liu Xiu did not know this.

Although the Blazers players knew that Liu Xiu imitated Wade's moves in the game a few days ago, at that time, Liu Xiu's footsteps were not so much European steps, but a few blind jumps.

But this time, it is a true European step with obvious rhythm online, clear lines, and technical movements!
The old players are okay, the new three...

Liu Xiu patted her chest and backed off—copying Nash is still useful!

Thanks to the talent of 'technical flow', he found the sense of rhythm directly, otherwise the ball just now was blocked by Ratliff.

Mistakes and being blocked are all very likely.

On to the Mavericks offense.

Would Nash, who had just been reversed by Liu Xiu, be burning with rage and want to take revenge?
Of course not.

Nash has long been used to it, and the Mavericks have long been used to it. Even Ratliff, who has just joined the Mavericks for less than half a month and only played two games, got used to it quickly, so he was able to make up for it immediately.

Nash made a choice calmly, and sent the ball to Josh Howard with a beautiful singles breakthrough.

Josh Howard cuts from the baseline and makes a catch and throw!
Frame...

Liu Xiu watched the Pacers team's battle report. Tianzun joined the Pacers and played two games. The first game was played for 15 minutes. Trying to feel it, he scored 10 points and 4 rebounds. The second game played for 31 minutes. With 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 blocks, the Pacers beat the Raptors 74-62.

The offense and defense switched, the Blazers attacked, and Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt.

At the basket, Nowitzki squatted under the basket, and Ratliff assisted in defense. The combination of the two was quite good.

It's not easy to fight defense, so play offense!

Liu Xiu looked for Randolph, and Randolph waved his hand and squatted at a close distance.

Thinking of the scouting report, Liu Xiu glanced at Ratliff's player scouting report, and suddenly became concerned.

Continue to rush to the basket and walk up!

Ratliff successfully blocked the footsteps that were not as good as the footsteps that came out subconsciously in the last round.

Liu Xiu scored the ball, and Ruben Patterson came to the left side of the free throw line tacitly, but unfortunately he only ran out of the receiving space and was followed closely by Finley when he shot.

Kobe Bryant's Terminator misses a jumper!

Liu Xiu and Randolph rushed to grab!

Nowitzki blocked Randolph and Dale Davis, defended rebounds, and he was able to play 8.9 to 1 back and front rebounds, and he was extremely stuck.

But Ratliff got stuck...

Liu Xiu bypassed Ratliff and grabbed the rebound first, and made a layup on the second attack...hit!
4 to 4 level!
Liu Xiu and Randolph took advantage of Ratliff's flaws!

Ratliff is good at everything on the defensive end, with top-notch individual defense, top-notch assist defense, positive style of play, top blue-collar...but he doesn't do well in defensive rebounding.

Average positioning awareness, not enough weight... In contrast, his offensive rebounding is exceptional...

When it came time for the Mavericks to attack, Nowitzki singled Dale Davis face-to-face and missed a two-point shot... Ratliff grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up, giving the Mavericks a 6-4 lead.

Ratliff is a wonderful player who can average 3 offensive rebounds + 4.3 defensive rebounds per game!

Before receiving the serve, Liu Xiu invited several teammates to gather around for a discussion.

The Trail Blazers attack, Randolph checks the bottom line, saves energy, and Dale Davis is on the left side of the three-second zone, ready to pick and roll or cut for teammates without the ball.

Liu Xiu continued to break through in singles, but Nash did not stop, but retreated again and again. Liu Xiu had a chance to take a step inside the free throw line to shoot, but he did not stop, but chased after Nash.

Ratliff, who was about to give Liu Xiu a cap, had no choice but to chase after the basket.

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Dale Davis, and Dale Davis split the ball again, and the extrajudicial man caught the ball from the left baseline...

Facing Josh Howard's supplementary defense, he made a mid-range shot!

Morris Cheeks sighed silently on the sidelines. This ball really depends on the bounce + luck of the outlaw lunatic.

It’s no wonder that Liu Xiu’s ability to organize offense is not good. It’s difficult to find such a good attacking master Liu Xiu in tactics, but Dell Davis, a high-level setter, needs to see his teammates move before passing the ball.

But it can't be blamed on Dale Davis, he didn't eat this bowl of rice in the first place.

Compared with the excellent touch of the outlaw lunatic, Nuo Tian... Big-King's start feels a bit cold.

Nash singled the ball from the outside, Nowitzki slid out of the baseline to face Randolph and missed a close-range shot!

Seeing that someone rushed inside immediately when Nowitzki made a shot, Dale Davis stopped grabbing the rebound and stuck Ratliff with all his strength.

Randolph turned around and blocked Nowitzki, the outlaws also actively blocked Josh Howard and the basket, Liu Xiu accepted the defensive rebound!
Defense is bad, but do what you can!

With the guards like Liu Xiu and others, unless the ball bounces far away or is about to fall on the opponent's head, the defensive rebound can be said to be very stable.

But such a guard strategy means that the Trail Blazers don't even want to fight back.

Liu Xiu was on the court, and he grabbed defensive rebounds, but did not threaten to counterattack, which was a big loss for the Blazers' offense.

But there is no way, there are gains and losses.

The Blazers' fast break is gone, but the Mavericks can still play anything.

Nash's pass control, Nowitzki's singles and catch-up shots, Josh Howard's air cut + singles, Finley's catch-and-shoot + singles... In theory, under such circumstances, the Mavericks have a clear upper hand.

But that's not the case.

Nowitzki was 3 for 0 in the half quarter!

When Nowitzki's cold hands were not exposed, the Mavericks did take the initiative.

But after Nowitzki missed two consecutive shots, the Trail Blazers really chose to let him go and actively flank others.

The Mavericks, who scored 6 points at the start, only scored 4 points in the next 5 minutes!
After the first half, they led the Mavericks by 15 points 11 to 4!
Entering the official timeout, Liu Xiu saw that he had 4 rebounds in half a quarter, 2 offensive rebounds + 2 defensive rebounds, and felt that the stadium tonight was extraordinarily dim, with the sound of running water...

The system prompt is coming!

"Mission: Put on the tortoise shell and trigger..."
