Healing Basketball

Chapter 336 336. Nobody Thinks About This

The bottom line fans directly scolded the street, Kwame Brown's ball is too wild!Even Trail Blazers fans couldn't help spouting swear words.

The Blazers players on the sidelines all jumped up. The bully is definitely the top physical fitness, but just looking at the physical fitness, Kwame Brown is even more vigorous!

Kwame Brown screamed twice after landing, beating his chest like a chimpanzee in celebration.

Stoudemire was so angry that he ran to the frontcourt and heard Liu Xiu praise Kwame Brown as "worthy of being the No. [-] high school student". ball!

Nash just needs singles, and he is still entangled in happiness for Joe Johnson or Stoudemire or himself. Now he is entangled, find the right time to hit the ball and send it, relying on Kwame Brown's Kwame Brown was so excited, he believed that he could defend... Little Overlord broke through at close range, turned around, and took off quickly under Raheem's defense. The ball hits the hoop!

This ball is so beautiful!Clean and neat, crisp dunks, perfect combination of technology and physical fitness, Stoudemire recovered the scene, and also helped the Suns offset the morale suppression brought about by Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown's lob cooperation.

When it comes to the Blazers' offense, it is not difficult for the Blazers to score, but even if the Suns face the Blazers' defense, even if they fall into a positional battle, they can rely on the pick-and-roll offense launched by Nash, Stoudemire or Marion to get the score. Also not a difficult scoring opportunity.

The game was once again dragged into a stalemate by the Suns!

……

'Drag' might seem like an inappropriate word for a leading team, but the Suns are such an amazing team.

In the middle of the month, even the Spurs were dragged into the quagmire by the Suns. The Spurs, who averaged 97 points per game and conceded 90 points per game so far this season, lost to the Suns 107-115.

Weak teams can't feel the "drag" of the Suns, and they are directly beaten. It takes strong teams to feel it, and the Trail Blazers felt it tonight!
In singles, the Trail Blazers star group does not lose to the Suns; in team battles, the Trail Blazers have their own advantages compared to the Suns; but the Suns are stronger than the Trail Blazers in terms of grasping counterattack opportunities!

The Trail Blazers are very experienced in defense against counterattacks. Not only are they defending against counterattacks tonight, they also defended well against the Suns. Scored a goal.

The most difficult thing about the Suns' "drag" is that their "drag" is an effect of play, not a subjective purpose. It's just that they happen to have invincible offense and they can't defend against any strong team. defense.

The Suns have only one goal - to score!Their players have believed that as long as they run, as long as they run forward, they will definitely win.

Tonight, the Trail Blazers, who played against the Suns for the first time, were also dragged into the quagmire.

In the first quarter, the Suns led the Trail Blazers 34 to 26 by 8 points. In the second quarter, the Suns led the Trail Blazers 27 to 24 by 3 points. After halftime, the point difference was pulled to 11 points. The Suns 61 to 50 lead!

……

Entering the intermission stage, Liu Xiu was called by the coaching staff when he returned to the locker room.

In the first half, the coaching staff had tried their best. They ran out of timeouts and made constant adjustments. From tactics to lineup rotation, there was no way out. Let's seek the warden's immature advice.

Liu Xiu had a brainstorm and asked, "How about we try to attack the opponent?"

Defensive assistant coach Bzdelik feels unreliable-can't the offense let the Suns take off?
Needless to say, Liu Xiu himself felt that this strategy was unreliable. In his impression, he said that the Suns would stop when they encountered a strong defensive team, but in a real fight, that was not the case!I can't prevent it at all!
Liu Xiu only knew that the Suns lost 2005-1 to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in 4, but what she didn't know was that even in the playoffs, the Spurs couldn't really limit the Suns' offense.

马刺队靠着邓肯场均27分、吉诺比利场均22分、帕克场均20分带队在系列赛中场均拿到108.2分，靠进攻干翻了太阳队，当然这是基于马刺队能在季后赛把太阳队系列赛场均得分限制在104分，以场均108.2分击败场均104分的太阳队。

The Suns swept the Grizzlies with an average of 113.8 points per game in the first round, and defeated the Mavericks 117.5-4 with an average of 2 points per game in the second round, reaching the Western Conference Finals!
Before and after the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs averaged 84.9 points per game in the finals and 98.7 points per game in the second round. Even the Spurs had to rely on offense to deal with the Suns.

Duncan, Ginobili, and Paxie all averaged 20+ per game. It is precisely because of this performance that Ginobili and Parker are honored to be used alongside Duncan as a "troika" combination.

Based on the actual situation, Liu Xiu felt that it would be better to give it a shot if he couldn't defend himself, so he proposed this suggestion; the defensive assistant coach rejected this suggestion based on common sense, and there is no problem. The final decision rests with the coach Maurice Cheeks. Reference opinions, meetings, there must be different views.

No one proposed to attack, and the coach didn't think about it. Just like Bzdelik, after the first month of the game, the public opinion about the Suns in the outside world was discussing how to defend the Suns. Almost no one Discuss how to fight the Suns offensively.

The coach recalled that in the second quarter, he used Randolph to play a small lineup at the center to press the speed. Although the restricted Suns scored 7 points in a single quarter, they still scored 3 points less than the opponent, and the point difference continued to be widened. ...if the small lineup is for offense?
No one has brought up this kind of thing, and maybe no one has really thought about it.

The coach decides!Give it a go!
……

Back from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Joan Barry, Raheem, and Kwame Brown; the Suns sent Nash, Barbosa, Joe Johnson, Marion, Steve The Wen-Hunter combination.

Liu Xiu saw that the Suns have only played 8 players so far, so he is very fond of D'Antoni.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Marion ran to the bottom line to catch the ball after the pick-and-roll, and faced Little Flying Squirrel with a two-point shot...Miss!Liu Xiu retracted from the flank and grabbed the defensive rebound, and counterattacked!

The Trail Blazers almost did not counterattack in the first half, and kept pressing the rhythm. The Suns were caught off guard and retreated hastily. After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, Rahim attracted Barbosa and Ma Lyon's pincer attack, followed by Momo and Joan Barry, attracted the defense of Nash and Joe Johnson. Raheem passed the ball to the left of the three-second zone, and Liu Xiu returned the pass and made a layup!

When it came time for the Suns to attack, the unexpected situation made them lack of concentration on the offensive end. After the ball came to Joe Johnson on the wing, his pass to Barbosa in the middle was too careless, and the small flying mouse in the middle contracted to steal it!Barbosa immediately turned around to grab the ball and slapped it on the arm of Little Momonga. A tactical foul prevented the Trail Blazers from counterattacking.

Although Bzdelik denies the suggestion of playing offensively, it is just an opinion in the meeting. He is a professional. The coach decides to play offensively. Of course, he must emphasize the defensive goals that the players can achieve based on the lineup, use speed to play height, and create Opportunities in the middle, the Suns have played a lot of this move, and now they don’t consider comprehensive defense. These small-scale defenses that may be restricted were mentioned by Bzdelik. When the opportunity comes, they seize the defensive opportunity!
Falling into a positional battle, the Flying Squirrel catches the ball and launches an attack quickly, Liu Xiu moves quickly, and when he catches the ball, he finds that his teammates have a chance, and passes the ball in a predictive way... Joan Barry runs back and uses the screen to catch the pass from Liu Xiu, turn around and hit a three-pointer!

一波5比0后，开拓者队将比分追至55比61，分差缩小到6分！
This attack took only 13 seconds for the Trail Blazers. Seeing this situation, the Suns already understood what the Trail Blazers wanted to do.

But this matter, they are not afraid!
When the Suns attacked, Nash and Marion picked and rolled and passed the ball to Barbosa. Barbosa cut into the basket and dunked for two points. Kwame Brown missed the defense and fouled. Barbosa added a penalty Hit, the score was 64 to 55, the point difference was opened to 9 points again, and the offensive battle between the two teams kicked off!

In the first half of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 18 to 15 in the half quarter, the score was 68 to 76, and the point difference was tight in single digits, but in the second half of the third quarter, the bully made 4 of 3 shots and 3 free throws. 3, scored 9 points and 1 assist, helped the Suns return the Trail Blazers with 18 points in one and a half quarters, and scored 18 to 14 in the half quarter. After three quarters, the Suns led the Blazers 94 to 82 by 12 points. Holiday break!
During this break, the warden chose to use the spirit of Ah Q to improve the fighting spirit of his teammates--after losing so many points in the first and second quarters, the Suns scored 33 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and they lost 1 That's already a big improvement.

These words are really true, and the team members actively choose to think that the warden is right!

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers really had a chance, and the Suns' flank shooting accuracy fell!

The Trail Blazers used this to limit the scoring efficiency of the Suns' positional battles and counterattacks, limiting the Suns' scoring to only 25 points, which was the Suns' lowest score in a single quarter of the game.

同时，开拓者队这边也在努力追分，打到末节11分43秒，刘秀投进了本场比赛个人投进的第三个三分球，8投4中、其中三分球2中1、外加4中3的罚球，单节拿到12分2板2助攻1抢断，在加上兰多夫的单节7分4板3助攻，帮助开拓者队单节拿到31分，开拓者队单节追了6分分差！
But unfortunately, the Suns scored 25 points in the final quarter is still too much, and Liu Xiu and his teammates tried their best to counterattack and stopped at Liu Xiu's last three points.

At 9:27 p.m., the final whistle blew.

尽管刘秀全场25投13中，其中三分球7中3，外加14中12的罚球狂飙41分7板5助攻2抢断，不敌纳什的19分4板15助攻1抢断。

119 to 111, the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers and improved their record to 14 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank first in the league!
