Healing Basketball

Chapter 34 34. Of course we must win the championship! (4000 characters please collect, please vote!)
When the dominance of the Trail Blazers gradually became prominent, the game moved in an interesting direction-hands-on-hand combat!

Pat Riley's Iron Storm isn't fun, but it's a simple and powerful play.

Fouls, rough movements, the scale of testing malicious fouls... These are all one of the execution strategies of the iron-blooded foul play.

As the game progressed, Matt Barnes found that they were becoming more and more passive, and decisively pulled Kaman together to lead the team to strengthen the confrontation.

Kaman is stronger, but he doesn't have any opinions. It's always how the coach arranges how to play; Barnes is a player with mediocre strength, but he has excellent leadership on the defensive end.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers trailed the Trail Blazers by 28 points 33-5. After the second half began, Barnes led the team to play defense and played a wave of 5-7 in just over 4 minutes!

In this situation, there is only one way - to break the deadlock with personal ability!

To deal with opponents who play iron and blood, relying on personal ability is the easiest way, and it is also the most effective way.

Liu Xiu did not hesitate. At 5 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked. His teammates pulled away, prepared to cut in, and kept in touch... Liu Xiu fell to the low position on the left side of the three-second zone and hit back. Take the Clippers' college point guard by force!

The point guard named Jack Jane is 190 centimeters tall but weighs only 84 kilograms.

Liu Xiuqiang took a step, turned right and walked to the bottom line, and hit the throw before Kaman's defense was in place!

Kaman's response is fast and the start is also very timely.

I just didn't expect that Liu Xiu would be able to knock Jack-Jian back to the arc of the reasonable collision zone in one step.

39 to 35, when the point difference was about to be tied, Liu Xiu made a low post to open the point difference again!

Since the Clippers have a center like Kaman under the basket, Liu Xiu has never played in the low post tonight.

Obviously sorting out the team's offense is a better choice than him going to the low post to challenge Kaman's supplementary defense.

In addition, if other methods can score and are sure to have an advantage, it is also a good choice to save the low post for the critical moment...

When it came time for the Clippers to attack, Kaman stood up!

Although he wanted to become a defense-based center after he entered the NBA and before the start of the summer league according to the suggestions of Mike Dunleavy, his agent and others, but in high school and college, he was also a super center who swept a place.

Kaman made a beautiful mid-range turn to the three-second zone and made a flying layup!
Previously, Kaman has been catching and shooting, cutting shots, and focusing on defense...to give the Trail Blazers an illusion-this is a defensive center.

I just remembered now that this is the talented center in the 03 draft who is known as the strongest insider this year!

A big center with excellent skills... This kind of player may not be able to lead the team to achieve good results in the summer league, but!That sense of dominance is scary.

Liu Xiu whistled and asked for the ball to advance.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was not in a mess, the panic in the hearts of the teammates who already regarded Liu Xiu as the backbone calmed down.

Liu Xiu knew that there must be another one at this time. He went to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Travis Outlaw at the top arc, and continued to play in the low post!
Jack-Jane still couldn't defend, Liu Xiu easily ran into it with a back kick, and just when he was about to continue to make moves, Liu Xiu saw the opponent's player move... Decisively speed up, turn left, walk in the middle, turn around and take a lucky step , After turning around and facing the basket, he grabbed the ball and stepped forward!

Liu Xiu started from a little bit inside the left sideline of the three-second zone, took two consecutive steps towards the right side of the three-second zone, followed the feeling, and took off on the third step. , throwing the ball at the backboard...

At this time, Kaman was in the air, but his position was on the left side of the basket, and Barnes was squeezed together with Jack Jane in a reasonable collision zone!
Seeing Liu Xiu almost throwing the ball with his back to the basket, the three members of the Clippers were all looking forward to not going in... But their expectations were in vain!

Liu Xiu made a three-for-one shot!And it's a swipe shot like looking back at the moon!
This ball doesn't have any explosive power at all, it's just flexibility, timing judgment, bold choices, gambling feel...but it's quite entertaining!
41 to 37, the point difference came to 4 points again!
Finally, the female fans who came to support Liu Xiu saw a handsome goal!

The two major NBA rookies have become the background, and the Clippers still have to attack.

Kaman wanted to return one. This time the Trail Blazers were prepared. It was a very simple defense. Liu Xiu asked his teammates to close in when Kaman received the ball!
Kaman passed the ball, but unfortunately, Barnes who pulled away not only opened up a lonesome, but also almost missed a three-pointer. The ball hit the outer edge of the right side of the basket and bounced directly towards the floor at 90 degrees. , Travis Outlaw protects the defensive rebound and advances himself!

Liu Xiu did not force the ball, but followed the position where he could receive the ball. He already knew Travis Outlaw's passing ability very well.

The Clippers played an iron-blooded defense and did a good job chasing and defending. Travis Outlaw was blocked on the left side of the free throw line. He saw Liu Xiu running to the right corner at a glance and passed it immediately.

As soon as Liu Xiugang received the ball, Barnes, who was chasing him, jumped into place immediately.

Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and raised his hand. Barnes didn't jump, and he had a good defensive awareness. With a height difference of more than ten centimeters, he didn't eat it.

Liu Xiu also tried, and continued to fight on the ground without flying and fast break.

Travis Outlaw stretched to the top arc again and helped Liu Xiu serve and play low back.

It's true that the Clippers are playing iron-blooded tactics, but it's just a group of college students who got together impromptu. When they play well, they are pretty good, but the offense launched from the low post...is too advanced for them!

Liu Xiu hit a lob with his back, Travis Outlaw caught the ball and passed it again, and Matt Carroll on the wing made a three-pointer!
44 to 37, the point difference came to 7 points!
At this point in the game, the Clippers are really out of luck!

Barnes didn't expect their iron-blooded style of play to be broken twice!

Fortunately, last time, Liu Xiu used the team style of play, and the trio formed with Travis Outlaw and Matt Carroll was really powerful.

This time Liu Xiu actually relied on his own strength to forcibly open the situation!
Liu Xiu, who is not famous for playing basketball but famous for picking up girls, most players see his news is about Anne Hathaway and playing college students. Is not very famous...

Barnes still wanted to struggle—he went to defend Liu Xiu and used rough fouls to influence Liu Xiu.

But as soon as he went up to get in a rough position, he was called a foul by the referee!

The whistleblowing is decisive and the attitude is firm.

The referee just said it straight-you can play high-confrontation defense, but it is not allowed to play edge balls and small moves to create conflicts.

Summer league is very suitable for iron and blood defense, and the number of fouls per player is 10 times.

Matt Barnes played with the mentality of finding a way to win and get a contract if he caused conflicts, and successfully won the appreciation of Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy.

It's just that his idea didn't work out, but the referee really didn't give him a chance. Under the current situation, Barnes had absolutely nothing to do.

The Jagged style of play is simple and easy to learn, but the lower limit is really not high...

The Clippers started with a tight score and fought against each other, and the two teams launched a counterattack, but Liu Xiu broke the two counterattacks in various ways!
The Trail Blazers' final scoring ... created a new low for the Blazers in two Summer League games this summer -- 74 points in a single game.

刘秀17分6助攻、特拉维斯-奥特洛28分、马特-卡罗尔11分，三人就拿到了56分，开拓者队没有第四个人得分上双。

But they won!The Clippers only scored 65 points in the end!
74 to 65, the Trail Blazers defeated the Clippers and advanced to the top 4 of this year's Rocky Mountain Summer League!
The moment the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu's system notification came.

"Match Rating:

S grade rating!
It is the first time that the overall review breaks through A+!

Although just arrived at S-...

’ Does that mean I can really dominate in the Summer League stage? '

A little excited, but Liu Xiu quickly controlled the excitement and accepted the post-match interview of the imperial court.

"Long time no see, Jess, your performance tonight is really beautiful."

It was Su Qun who interviewed Liu Xiu. He had met him many times. This was the first Chinese reporter who conducted a live interview after the NBA and NCAA games.

Yes, the player Su Qun interviewed for the first time after the NCAA game was not Liu Xiu.

It was an interview with Michael Olowokandi on February 1998, 2.

It was the first time Liu Xiu accepted an official interview with the court TV when he was in his third year of madness. Afterwards, Liu Xiu couldn't find the news at all, which means that the interview was just accumulating material and had no place to broadcast it.

Liu Xiu responded, "Thank you, I also enjoyed tonight's game."

Su Qun liked this way of answering.

Weak and weak for many years, Chinese people are always very humble, even inferior... In terms of sports competition alone, China is already one of the top three sports powers in the world, but it is not as confident as the two neighbors, North Korea.

But Liu Xiu has always been confident.

It's not the kind of arrogance or arrogance, but what I have done well, and I will not deny that I have done well.

Su Qun continued to ask: "Recently, your performance has been getting better and better. Can you tell me how you did it?"

Liu Xiu likes reporters from the imperial court to ask questions. After all, she is the mother of the Central Committee. She doesn’t ask questions about gossip news, but they are just questions. People who read the news may not think there is anything, but the people who are asked...

This is the same as being asked 'why did you do something wrong in the exam' during the exam.

I can really say something, but it really hurts to answer this question.

But I still have to answer!Mother Yang!
"I think it's the support of the fans, I love hearing the screams from the fans..."

Liu Xiu looked at the place where the largest number of female fans gathered - directly opposite the technical platform.

The game is over. Although the venue is not full tonight, it is the NBA home arena after all, but the number of fans on the scene has exceeded [-], and most of them left.

However, there are still hundreds of female fans who have not yet left.

Liu Xiu pointed his gun with his left hand and blew kisses towards the fans, causing screams.

The cameraman thought Liu Xiu was going to do something, but it turned out like this, speechless...

The interview ended like this. In fact, there will not be too much space for Liu Xiu. It would be nice to have a ten-second interview clip on the sports news of the court sports station.

After Liu Xiu accepted the interview, he saw that Travis Outlaw, who scored the highest score in the game tonight, was being interviewed by the media in Colorado... It felt good, so he quickly slipped away.

Now that American reporters are interviewing him, it must have nothing to do with the game.

Now, it's not uncommon for American reporters to report on his games, so they want to add more words.

He had already achieved what he wanted, so naturally he wouldn't 'work' for those reporters in vain.

……

On the 2nd day, all 4 quarter-finals of the Rocky Mountain Summer League finals were played.

Before the Trail Blazers, the Spurs defeated the Suns to advance, and the Knicks defeated the Mavericks to advance.

At 7:[-] p.m., still at the Delta Air Lines Arena in Salt Lake City, the Bulls, recognized as the most powerful team in this summer league, started their game against the host Jazz.

The Jazz only ranked seventh in the preliminaries. However, facing the Bulls who won all 4 games in the preliminaries, the Jazz won an upset!
爵士队在次轮第18顺位选中的控卫莫-威廉姆斯打了35分钟，21投15中，其中三分球7中5，在没有罚球的情况下狂飙35分8助攻，率领爵士队以92比88爆冷惊险击败公牛队，挺进4强。

For the Trail Blazers, after 5 games in this summer league, basically any type of team has played.

Luke Wharton played steadily and organized offense as the core of the Lakers, the Suns led by Barbosa, an assault-type outside core, the 76ers and Pacers who were not very strong, and the iron-blooded defense. Clippers...

Now, Liu Xiu is playing the dominant power for the first time in the summer league... After the dominance that is not so easy to be noticed by others, he is confident that most opponents will not be able to cause them real trouble unless they are in poor form, Or the opponent is super god.

He is now looking forward to the final against the Bulls.

But they didn't expect that they didn't encounter the situation of poor state or super god opponent, but the Bulls did!
On August 8th, the Trail Blazers ushered in the semi-finals against the Spurs.

The Spurs only had one first-round pick this year and no other draft picks, but they signed a total of 4 undrafted picks, all of them from South America... They all played well!One of them, a combo guard named Alex Garcia, got a two-year partial guarantee contract of $2.

But it’s not bad to play well. Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, and Matt Carroll have already played a dominant performance, and they are very confident and go forward!

At this point, Liu Xiu and others are here to win, to win the championship!
1小时33分钟比赛后，在刘秀11分6板4助攻、特拉维斯-奥特洛17分、马特-卡罗尔24分的表现下，开拓者队以93比82轻取马刺队，挺进决赛！
