Healing Basketball

Chapter 315. The Warden Squeezes His Teammates (Updated)

"The Great Mage: Game Status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Damon Stoudemire.

Opponent: Mike Miller, characteristic conversion talent: catch and shoot expert, bonus effect: mid-range and long-range shots within 2 seconds of catching the ball, if you shoot directly without dribbling, the shooting speed will be accelerated by 25% without affecting the shooting itself; mid- and long-range fixed-point catch When the ball is shot, if it is in the neutral position and has time to make a complete shooting action, it must enter a hot state. "

Or Peja's talent name is more foreign, it's called "Spot Sniper", and Mike Miller's talent name, Liu Xiu thinks it's too common.

Effect Well, each has its own merits.

While rubbing chalk, Liu Xiu copied her talent.

Ready to play, Liu Xiu saw the people beside the technical stage, paused, and said, "James, aren't you starting?"

James Posey, who was applauding his teammates on the field, seemed to be stagnant for a moment. He realized that as an opponent, he should refute a few words, but he didn't even think about how to respond, and the opponent left!Turn around and go to the court!

There are rumors that the Grizzlies put Battier on the bench last season in order to save money and lower the price, and successfully signed a six-year, $6 million contract extension with Battier in advance.

This season, the Grizzlies seem to want to do the same and put James Posey, who has performed much better than Battier in the past few years, on the bench. Full attendance in the game, 82 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals, solid shooting, top single defense, excellent assist defense, first-class defensive master, 1.7 years old is at the peak, not too far behind Ruben Patterson, market price is six $27 million annual salary...

When Liu Xiu came on the court, he harvested a wave of healing value, which was provided by James Posey himself, as well as the members of the Grizzlies coaching staff and some players who heard his words.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Blazers and the Grizzlies at home began!

The Trail Blazers sent a starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

The Grizzlies sent Jason Williams, Mike Miller, Sean Battier, Lorenzen Wright, Gasol starting combination.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown beat Lorenzen Wright to win the jump ball, and the Blazers went first!

Payton received the serve and advanced, the Trail Blazers pressed up as a whole, and the Grizzlies fell into a defensive formation in an orderly manner.

The offensive position of the Trail Blazers is very different from what the Grizzlies learned, but the Grizzlies players are mentally prepared. Defense is more about testing actual combat response, and the Grizzlies are good at it.

White Chocolate carefully guarded the top arc defense.

Payton is old, but White Chocolate is still afraid of its matchup. Since entering the NBA, he has been hammered by Payton. The two have played against each other more than 20 times. Payton averaged 21+5+9+2 per game. Dunton averaged 36 percent shooting from the field and 3.5 turnovers per game under defense.

Payton's performance plummeted last season, but coincidentally, the Grizzlies and the Lakers played against each other 4 times, all of which were in the middle of the season when Payton was still in good shape. White Chocolate scored 8 of 1 in one game and 16 of 3 in one game. The two performances can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Peyton came to the top arc and faced White Chocolate, cheers erupted from the scene.

Some people think it’s a loss to replace Payton with the Kobe Terminator. Some people don’t like Liu Xiu because of Payton’s change of position. It’s okay to change positions, but why is it that the warden gave up his position... But Payton played for the team for the first time, fans They still choose to cheer for Payton.

Peyton cheered up and handed the ball to Raheem who was pulled out to respond. Raheem held the ball in the top arc to respond. Peyton of Chocolate.

Payton back hit White Chocolate, White Chocolate defended very actively and hard, but Payton relied on top back hitting skills and top back hitting rhythm, turned around and passed White Chocolate!
But Payton did not go inside. After he turned right and entered the three-second zone, he took a step to the left facing the basket. Liu Xiu, who ran out from the right side of the three-second zone, received the ball. Battier just chased to the right sideline of the three-second zone. Seeing Liu Xiu catch the ball, Battier chose to block the ball in the middle, and Randolph was rushing in. Battier concluded that Liu Xiu would pass to Randolph. Randolph, who rushed up like this, could not stop Gasol, who had not moved up in advance.

Although Battier felt that it was useless for him to block him, he had to try... No!
Battier blocked it only to find that Randolph was in a rushing posture!
Turn your head just in time to see the ball fall into the box.

Liu Xiu catches the ball from the bottom line and turns over and hits a jumper!
The fans at the scene cheered and applauded. Payton's first statistic in the Trail Blazers career-assistants!
The Blazers surprised the Grizzlies players on the first attack.

I thought it was to give face to the veteran superstar, but there was just a saying, but I didn't expect Liu Xiuzhen to play shooting guard!
Shooting guards and small forwards can also have a lot of assists, and power forwards and centers can all have high assists.

But not playing point guard, in fact, it can be seen at a glance, such as Iverson in the 97-98 season and Iverson in the 98-99 season, look at his games in the two seasons, the difference can be seen directly .

Offensive and defensive transition, the Grizzlies attack.

White Chocolate advanced beyond the three-point line and encountered Payton's post defense.

A teammate had an opportunity to respond, but the opportunity was not good. White Chocolate didn't pass directly. He felt it. If the pass was passed, the ball might not return to his hands!He is not sticking to the ball, but looking for a better opportunity.

Payton, who rushed to no avail, was a little disappointed, not because of the defensive defeat, but because of the lost youth... But he did not relax at all. After the white chocolate passed the ball, he began to stick to the white chocolate and refused to catch the white chocolate. The opportunity to shoot the ball and pass the ball in the middle, lock this point.

But White Chocolate found a better opportunity to take the ball. Battier received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and passed it to Gasol who was pulled to the free throw line. Gasol made another pass and Lorenzen Wright cut into the basket. After receiving the ball, hold it high and hit the basket!
The Grizzlies team cooperates very well, the point guard has a good rhythm control, the small forward has an excellent transition ability, the power forward has a strong support ability, and the role players have a good ability to eat cakes.

Hubie Brown came back to coach in person, the confidence of the players came back, and the team played well offensively.

Under normal circumstances, during the regular time of the game, the Grizzlies and the division champion team will not lose the wind just head-on.

They continued to demonstrate their ability tonight. From the perspective of their general manager, they were showing off their sister-in-law's body, trying to seduce a star outsider to join.

The Trail Blazers just completed the transaction and asked the warden to make way for Payton to play shooting guard. The Grizzlies are more confident than the warden himself in whether the warden can change to a shooting guard. .

However, this matter has just begun, and the Grizzlies are looking forward to taking advantage of this game tonight.

But unfortunately, failed!

Payton's integration and display of strength are better than the Grizzlies expected!

Rather than pushing the ball past Kobe or O'Neal for most of the Lakers' games last season, Payton is actually running the offense.

The coaching staff of the Trail Blazers temporarily arranged a lot of tactical problems for the new lineup. Payton used his rich game experience to drive his outstanding teammates to cooperate.

Liu Xiu's catch-and-shoot and setter, Raheem's response, Randolph's singles, Kwame Brown's pie-eating and rushing... The Blazers' offense is simple, but they play very smoothly!

比赛打到6分11秒，靠着刘秀顶着防守强突到篮下接到球擦板上篮命中，开拓者队以16比13领先灰熊队3分进入官方暂停！
The Grizzlies, who came here with the mentality of taking advantage, brought a trace of contempt they shouldn't have, and they didn't please them!

At this time, the shadow of last season emerged in the hearts of the Grizzlies players... Can the warden hang us no matter what?

Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown has a headache. Their team's situation, if they don't have an advantage in the early stage, then...

On the other side, the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers were ecstatic—as expected of a veteran superstar at the MVP level!

In the past two games, they only made tentative tactical adjustments, and the offensive end was a mess.

In the regular offense, Lynch-Hunter couldn't achieve a good organizational offensive effect. He still had to return to Liu Xiu's organizational offense in the end, and had to rely on the little flying mouse to play in the second team to chase points. , under the leadership of Payton, although the game is simple, it is like a metamorphosis!Liu Xiu also really started to feel like a shooting guard.

The changes brought about by Peyton's joining and Liu Xiu's adjustments in the past few days are all an indispensable part of the changes shown tonight.

In addition to the changes on the offensive end, there is also defense.

Payton played very hard, the effect is quite good!The overall defensive performance is a little better than Lynch-Hunter, almost equivalent to Liu Xiu's role as a point guard. Instead, Liu Xiu plays a shooting guard and needs to adjust to opponents who are always taller than him.

But don't worry about Liu Xiu's defensive end, just adjust later. He is still exploring whether Liu Xiu can play shooting guard.

If adjusting the position is really feasible, then their road to the championship will become smoother!
It is easier to form a championship lineup if the head star is a shooting guard than if the head star is a point guard.

In this way, the point guard can organize the offense, the small forward can organize the offense, and the power forward or center can support the offense.

The point guard is the team's strongest player, and of course no one said that the strongest player cannot compete for the championship if the point guard is the strongest player.

It's just that, as Liu Xiu's strength has grown, he has already begun to expose a problem when he plays point guard-all-inclusive.

Teammates will inevitably become more and more functional as a result.

Maurice Cheeks, as a famous point guard in NBA history, understands how serious such drawbacks are.

This is the main reason why he tried to promote the adjustment of Liu Xiu's style of play.

……

The official timeout came back, Payton was replaced, and the Trail Blazers were replaced by a combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and McDyess.

After Payton was replaced, he took the initiative to communicate with the old players in the team and continued to understand the details of his teammates' games. With rich experience, he knew where to start.

Payton's performance surprised the Trail Blazers coaching staff, but does Payton have any shortcomings?
Of course there are.

Three-pointers are an old-fashioned problem. This cannot be solved, but the Trail Blazers don't need him to shoot three-pointers. They are not a three-point team, and the importance of three-pointers is not so high at this stage.

Payton's biggest flaw at present is-physical strength!
During the half quarter, Payton went all out to attack and defend, and the coaching staff could see that he was tired from playing.

However, Payton didn't do his best on both ends of the offense and defense, and he couldn't perform so well.

The chief assistant looked at Payton and expressed concern to the coach: "Gary plays like this, and it is estimated that he will play a maximum of 20 minutes in a game."

Unexpectedly, the coach's eyes lit up: "Can you last for 20 minutes? That's great, enough to help the warden adjust his style of play."

"Uh...yeah..."

The chief assistant coach also realized that they didn't want a core at the point guard position, and Payton was just a 36-year-old former superstar who had passed his peak.

What kind of bicycle do you need if you can have 20 minutes of performance close to that of a first-class star?
On the court, Liu Xiu started a new version of the sudden score + auxiliary control game with Little Flying Squirrel.

Ever since he decided to play shooting guard, Liu Xiu has been thinking about how to adjust, and at each stage of his playing, he has begun to make as detailed an adjustment plan as possible.

In the starting stage, because I didn't know the situation of Payton, I didn't even know when Payton would join before, and I didn't know how to adjust it, and I was still experimenting.

On the contrary, it is the second team. He has already planned how to cooperate with Little Flying Squirrel. He is very proficient in cooperating, and he clearly knows what the teammates of the second team can do.

Little Flying Squirrel, Randolph, and the outlaws all felt that the warden was 'oppressing' them.

Not only do they need to score, but they also have to take on more passing tasks.

And the evil warden starts 'shooting the ball', playing more simply.

Little Flying Squirrel is still the main attacker, and Liu Xiu goes around the pile to respond, but if Liu Xiu receives the ball, the role of organizing the offense is reduced, and the first choice is to change the team's offense from sorting out the team's offense to shooting!

It's hard to say what will happen after that, anyway, tonight, the Trail Blazers second team caught the Grizzlies by surprise!
The Grizzlies didn't take advantage of it in the opening stage, which had already hit the mentality of their players. They worked hard against the Trail Blazers' second team in the rotation stage, and they were stunned again!

They are ready to deal with Little Flying Squirrel + Warden's sudden point + auxiliary control tactics, but the opponent's style of play has changed drastically!

首节后半段到第二节3分58秒，接近10分钟时间里，开拓者队打出了一波27比19的进攻高潮！
43 to 32, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 11 points, and the Grizzlies called a timeout!

Both Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel were replaced. The Trail Blazers coach sent Payton, Derek Anderson, Joan Barry, Raheem, and Kwame Brown to let the players cooperate with Payton on the field. , and see what happens.

Butchers, Momonga, and outlaws who were 'oppressed' and 'exploited' during the rotation were very excited when they returned to the bench to sit down!They feel like they have a bigger role in the game!
