Healing Basketball

Chapter 293 293. He is still the same as before! (full 2200 monthly ticket plus change)

The warden who observed secretly found that the butcher's mentality was on the verge of collapse on the first day after the implementation of the parallel import champion reform plan.

At this time, he found that his three apprentices were really cute, they learned what they taught, no nonsense, no doubts.

Seeing that Randolph has really taken over the mess of the parallel import champion, Liu Xiu doesn't care about it.

He has already figured out a way for the parallel import champion. In this case, the parallel import champion does not know how to redeem himself, so it is none of his business.

A day of preparation time passed, and at 7:50 in the evening, the Trail Blazers players entered the stadium, and they were about to start the preseason game against the Kings away.

The Trail Blazers played 5 preseason games, 4 wins and 1 loss. The lost game was overturned by the Warriors who threw 14 three-pointers in a single game.

The speed at which the Blazers adapted to the new regulations has been recognized by the mainstream media, which is normal.

The Kings are very surprising. They were in an avalanche in the second half of last season, and they won 5 consecutive victories in the preseason!

One of the rare teams that scored more than [-] points on the first game day of the preseason was the Kings.

But if you look at their game a little bit more, they look good only because they almost give up on defense.

The other team that scored more than [-] points on the first game day was the opponent of the Kings.

In 5 games, he averaged 112 points per game and conceded 107 points per game.

With this performance, converted to the regular season based on the experience of previous years, the precipitous average of over [-] points per game.

The Trail Blazers studied the specific situation of the Kings' 5 preseason games, and speculated that the Kings players should have reached a certain consensus and cooperated well.

At 8 p.m., after the game started, the Trail Blazers confirmed their speculation.

When Divac was poached by the Lakers with a 2-year middle class, Brad Miller successfully took the position, and the twin towers formed with Webber, the offensive end support and the high-low position switch, compared with Weber + Divac, the upper Brad Miller and Divac are both better this season.

Contradictions -1. During the long offseason, everyone had unsatisfactory communication, and everyone still has the common goal of winning the championship... We did reach a consensus and started to cooperate.

But only on the offensive end.

It requires more cooperation, hard work, and mutual trust in defense. The players of the Kings really have a tacit understanding, and the tacit understanding does not work hard.

The referee whistled a particularly strict preseason game. The Kings, a team with a very strong offense, grasped the new rules that high-post defense cannot be used, and used the skilled Princeton style of play. In the first quarter, they played 6 minutes and 03 seconds. 11 of 8 shots beat the Trail Blazers 21 to 13 in one and a half quarters, and called the Trail Blazers a timeout to enter the official timeout period.

Liu Xiu saw a post in her previous life saying that Princeton is one of the ultimate forms of small ball tactics.

Twenty years after taking the 02 Kings, it will definitely be a king-level team.

Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it should be close.

From Liu Xiu's point of view, the current whistleblowing scale is a bit like 18 years later.

However, after 18 or 20 years, the team that can really win the final still depends on defense.

02 The Kings' defense ranked in the top three in the league in the 01-02 season. The defense of this Kings team is probably the bottom three?

The Trail Blazers were in a mess in the first half of the first quarter. They played a few blind shots and still scored 13 points, which shows that the Kings have defended many times.

After returning from the timeout, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess.

The Blazers' defense has improved a lot, but in the preseason, when the referee is suspected of fouling, it is still too reluctant to defend against the Kings who have been further liberated from Princeton.

But the little flying squirrel + warden's auxiliary control play style, against the king's defense, was also liberated!
In the second half of the first quarter, relying on the flying mouse with 6 points and 1 assist, Liu Xiu with 4 points and 2 assists, and Raheem with 5 points, the Trail Blazers made a 19-16 counterattack, narrowing the gap by 3 points. , Chasing the score to 32 to 37, still 5 points behind the Kings.

The Kings sincerely rely on the rule changes to have the possibility of revival. If it weren't for the management of the Kings after the All-Star Weekend last season, they steadily allowed Brad Miller and Divac to complete the transition. It is also possible to become a team version of the Suns if it continues to be strong for several years.

But even the seemingly incongruous Kings, the offensive end is really fierce.

Moreover, they have found the confidence of a strong team in the past few games. Facing the Blazers' counterattack, they are not afraid to fight against the Blazers!

The Trail Blazers had a hard time chasing points, but they did not give up. Maurice Cheeks made timely rotations and made just the right tactical adjustments. Bzdelik and Kevin Pritchar provided tactical contingency support... the key Time still depends on the personal ability of the players.

第二节4分22秒，兰多夫补篮2+1，帮开拓者队以41比50将分差咬紧在10分以内。

At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, Liu Xiu received the ball from the flank for a three-pointer, triggering the "spot shot" feeling hot, and hit the three-pointer. At 8 minutes and 24 seconds, Liu Xiu steals the ball from Weber, counterattacks and hits a layup with a European step, scoring 5 times in a row The score hit a wave of 5 to 0, chasing the score to 57 to 61, and finally narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.

A point difference of less than 5 points basically means that the two teams have returned to the same starting line.

The Trail Blazers clinging to the score tightly, the Kings desperately wanted to widen the point difference. At 6 minutes and 37 seconds into the third quarter, Raheem scored two points with a tomahawk dunk from Randolph. The score caught up to 81 to 81, and finally tied the score!

At this moment, the Trail Blazers are in full swing!The morale of the Kings, who had led for more than two quarters, suffered a huge blow.

However, the Trail Blazers have a lot of stars, and there are constantly people who can stand up, and the Kings also have no shortage of stars!

Immediately afterwards, Bibby hit a three-pointer from Liu Xiu's top arc in the singles, which attracted cheers from the fans, and withstood the pressure brought by the Trail Blazers to tie the score.

If he failed to make a successful start, if he changed to a second-year player to lead the team, he might rush to make another wave, but Liu Xiu, who clearly judged that the opponent's offensive end was better, was not impatient and steadily controlled the team's rhythm. Well, wait patiently for the next wave of opportunities.

On the offensive end, the Kings made better use of the blessings brought by the new regulations.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity!
At the end of the third quarter, the players of the Kings, who had a lead of 6 points, became a little slack, thinking that they would enter the inter-quarter break soon, and they could win by waiting for another quarter in the final quarter.

This kind of thinking made their offensive shots too relaxed, and they didn't control their accuracy!

Raheem and Dale Davis got stuck, Liu Xiu grabbed the rebound, and the rotating little flying mouse and the outlaws made a fast break. At the end of the third quarter, Liu Xiu scored 2 points and 2 assists, leading the team to play a wave 7 to 0, the Trail Blazers overtook the Kings 98 to 97 and entered the final quarter by 1 point!
At the beginning of the final quarter, the Kings were in a hurry and wanted to take the lead back immediately.

结果又被刘秀和小飞鼠冲了一波9比4，分差被拉开到6分，到了第四节过半的时候开拓者队以117比107领先国王队10分！
In the second half of the final quarter, the Kings made a desperate move, playing shrinking defense, blocking the basket, and letting the Trail Blazers shoot outside. They really won their bet. At the end of the quarter, they played a wave of 9 to 3 and scored 10 points in the final quarter. At 58 seconds, the score was chased to 124 to 128.

With more than 1 minute left, the Kings really created a chance with the gorgeous and fierce Princeton!
but!

At 11 minutes and 18 seconds, Liu Xiu received the ball from Randolph at the free throw line and made a steady jumper.

The score was 130 to 124, and the point difference came to 6 points!
The king's idea of ​​overtaking the score with two goals was shattered!

Bibby made another contribution, and made another three-pointer in singles from outside, helping the Kings chase the score to 127 to 130, with 26 seconds left, defending the Trail Blazers, they still have a chance to tie the score!

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Ruben Patterson and Raheem opened up, Randolph and McDyess were ready to move at any time, and Liu Xiu played singles from the outside.

Facing Bibby's defense, Liu Xiu turned forward and broke through, easily breaking into the inside line!
The Kings continued to shrink their defense, leaving the two sides open. Randolph still had a chance to catch the ball, but Liu Xiu didn't pass it. He analyzed it and couldn't come back after passing it.
At the critical moment, the defensive cooperation of the Kings players has returned. Webber blocked a step inside the free throw line at just the right time, very good defense, but they all underestimated Liu Xiu's rhythm breakthrough!

Because the impact of the new rules is too great, people have long forgotten the fact that Liu Xiu asked Kobe to learn a breakthrough.

Liu Xiu made a rhythmic pause at the free throw line, and Weber was immediately sent flying!
Liu Xiu originally planned to continue to break through, but when he saw Weber jumping up, he couldn't resist the temptation, grabbed the ball, and stuck it towards the falling Weber...

'Damn it, I'm dirty...'

Webb, who fell, knocked Liu Xiu back, and Liu Xiuqiu threw the ball out of nowhere, but the referee still gave the whistle.

It's just the whistle, the referee seemed to hesitate.

Weber made a defensive foul and Liu Xiu got two free throws!

Walking to the free throw line, Liu Xiu's heart was pounding in shame.

Although it was a bit late for the referee to give the whistle, Liu Xiu found that no one seemed to notice that he couldn't help using the trick of the king just now, so he was relieved.

After receiving the ball from the referee, Liu Xiu immediately put aside her distracting thoughts and focused on free throws.

Free throws, the points sent up, just don't want it if you are stupid.

Liu Xiu made two free throws, 132 to 127, and the point difference came to 5 points!
The Kings call a timeout!

After the timeout, the Kings arranged a tactic for Peja, but at the critical moment Peja paid tribute to Kobe and made a shot across the bridge... The rebound was protected by Randolph, and with a few seconds left, the Kings did not struggle anymore.

最终，靠着刘秀的29分7板9助攻3抢断、小飞鼠的21分5助攻、拉希姆的19分、兰多夫的18分12板4助攻、法外狂徒的12分6板2盖帽、夸梅-布朗的8分8板2抢断1盖帽……开拓者队以132比127击败国王队，终结了国王队的季前赛5连胜！

……

Originally, in this preseason game, the coaching staff of the two teams did not pay much attention, let alone thought that they would fight until the last moment.

But the Trail Blazers players played very motivated because of their reputation as "the most gorgeous team in history"; the Kings players also played very hard because of the grievances of last season, and the players of the two teams played very hard.

After fighting, the coaches of the two teams also changed their minds.

Generally speaking, the preseason games are adjustments, experiments, and summaries of the first few games. The last preseason game is played as a regular season for real testing and final experiments. There are usually four games before the last preseason game and the regular season. Five days to make final adjustments.

But there are real games with real knives and guns. It is also good to start a game in advance to test the running-in effect.

Liu Xiu's performance tonight made the Trail Blazers coaching staff very satisfied!
When he needs to score, he can stand up.

When the opponent is strictly guarded against and the opportunity is not good, he will choose to make good use of the opponent's defensive strategy, connect the team, help his teammates score, and even don't care about assists.

The control of the situation on the field is even better, which is the improvement of control brought about by the improvement of strength.

The coaching staff of the Trail Blazers worried that because of last season's results, because of the achievements in the international arena, because of the improvement of the team's status... Liu Xiu would drift away and no longer play like before.

After this unexpectedly intense and tense game, the biggest stone hanging in the hearts of the Trail Blazers coaching staff landed smoothly.

He is still him!Nothing has changed... oh, better figure, Vaco...
