Healing Basketball

Chapter 387 387. More exaggerated than the legend (326 update)

After shaking his head for a while, Arenas came up with a firm idea - so what?
Arenas also had the same question during the game: Can I do the Warden's emergency stop jump shot?

He gave himself an affirmative answer: I can!
Just so confident.

Liu Xiujia made a free throw, 24 to 27, and the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

The Wizards attacked, Arenas attacked with the ball, and Larry Hughes opened up to respond.

Why did Liu Xiu once substitute the situation of the Knicks' backcourt double guns into the Wizards' backcourt double guns?Because the Wizards are also two guards taking turns to attack with the ball.

Of course, there is a big difference. On the nursing home side, it is 'we will divide the world equally', and on the side of the Guards, it is 'we cooperate to win'.

After falling into a good position, the Wizards launched an offense, and Arenas continued to launch a triangle offense.

The Trail Blazers' defense is obviously different. Before the Trail Blazers did not dare to let go of the Wizards' wing shooters, now, when Jamison pulls up to the high post Arenas to support the ball, Raheem directly empties Stephen Jackson to meet Liu. Show double-teamed Jamison together to prevent Jamison from breaking through with the ball.

Jamison points the ball to Jarvis Hayes, who catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer... Iron!
Randolph protects the defensive rebound!

Seeing this scene, Trident remembered, this guy is a trap!

"Jarvis Hayes, 23 years old, the 2003th pick in the first round of 10, 201 cm, 100 kg, SF, ability rating 72, offense 79, defense 65... averaged 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game... ...shooting 38 percent from the field..."

A genius in college, he entered the NBA after graduating from college. He averaged 28 points per game in the last two years of the NCAA, but became more and more mediocre after entering the NBA. He became an inefficient substitute. ...you can only float and cast, but it's not allowed.

This is the opportunity for the Trail Blazers!Most of the Wizards' substitutes are pitfalls!

In the offensive and defensive transition, Payton received the pass from Randolph and advanced to the frontcourt under pressure. With a success rate, he landed the ball and handed the ball to Randolph in the low post.

Jarvis Hayes' defense was too slow to have any effect at all. Randolph singled Jamison into the basket. Jared Jeffries shrank and flanked Randolph, and he put After staggering himself, Randolph forced a layup and easily scored, chasing the score to 26 to 27, and narrowing the point difference to 1 point!
When it came time for the Wizards to attack, it was still a triangle attack, but Liu Xiu could tell from the eyes of Arenas who was holding the ball that the ball would not be a team attack.

Liu Xiu made gestures to move ahead of the pincer attack, call it out, it will not work well if the opponent hears it, but gestures, offensive call tactics are no problem, if it is defensive, it is normal to not be able to see...

I didn't see it this time. Arenas singled Liu Xiu, and the Blazers' defense was a regular pincer. Raheem made up defense in the middle. After Arenas passed Liu Xiu, he faced Raheem's supplementary defense and made an emergency stop jumper. Before Raheem blocked the shot, Arenas just shot the ball. The ball flew past the highest point Raheem touched and plunged into the basket!
Arenas scored 10 points in a single quarter!The Wizards lead the Trail Blazers by 29 points 26 to 3!
As expected of a top scorer with a 95 offensive rating, Liu Xiu was not at all surprised that Arenas scored such a goal.

Liu Xiu felt that it was time to think of a tactical slogan. It took half a season to get the offense running well. Now it's time to improve the defense. Let's start with the slogan... Eh?Can some simple Chinese be used as tactical slogans?

Call Kobe Bryant when you throw it out and find yourself wanting to hit the iron?

Call Lebron when you want to pass the ball at a critical moment?

This is a very constructive thought...

Arenas scored in double figures in a single quarter and did not hit the Trail Blazers. Payton continued to control the ball steadily and came to the frontcourt. Randolph continued to attack from the low post. After Raheem's high pass, the ball came to the Fred Jones on the wing here.

Forget about the first-rate opener!
After missing someone, seeing Fred Jones catch the ball, Arenas on the left side of the three-second zone and Jarvis Hayes on the left baseline both pinched the past, and Fred Jones scored the ball... …

Liu Xiu, who cut in from a 45-degree angle on the left, had a smooth journey, and Larry Hughes, who was struggling to chase Liu Xiu, was not well.

Liu Xiu received the ball and entered the three-second zone to make an emergency stop and jump, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand before Jared Jeffries made the defense!
At the same time as the dunk was made, Jared Jeffries slapped Liu Xiu's arm to block the shot. The referee blew his whistle and fouled the thug.

Larry Hughes's defensive mentality was teased again-doesn't this thin bamboo pole have any points for his own bounce speed?What a hand!
The Wizards' starting lineup has Stephen Jackson in the lineup. Although the defense is not strong, it is stable and can give the opponent the interference it should have.

But Stephen Jackson wasn't there, not even Haywood, and Larry Hughes had strength but no leadership.

Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line.

'Perfect brake full blood version' is simply a miracle!

When he made an emergency stop at the basket just now, he also triggered the bounce compensation bonus of 'perfect braking'.

This talent has been exploited by him!Coupled with the "Little Overlord's Knee Pads" bullet speed increase bonus, the quick stop and jump dunk just now was completed.

Amid the boos of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiujia made a free throw, 29 to 29, and the score was tied!

The Wizards are a little panicked now. In the next two rounds of offense, Arenas first received a pass from Larry Hughes, turned around and made a three-pointer, and then Larry Hughes made a breakthrough dunk that caused McDyess to foul. Into 2+1.

These guns are really strong!The offensive state in these two rounds is also good, and it should be an advantage.

However, they were frightened by Liu Xiu who scored 17 points in a single quarter!

This guy exploded so hard, and it was nothing like what the Wizards players had seen on tape!
Most of the Wizards' defensive attention was attracted by Liu Xiu. Payton sensed this and launched an offense. Fred Jones made a cut and layup. Raheem caught the ball and made a close-range jumper. Larry Hughes fouled and made one of two free throws.

The Wizards scored two goals and they missed both possessions!
Finally, the Wizards stars broke the scoring streak. Jamison missed a three-pointer after catching the ball from the wing. The rebound was received by Payton. With 13 seconds left in the first quarter, Payton stopped pressing the rhythm this time and pushed forward quickly. A complete offensive fit.

The Wizards players focused on defense. The current score is 35 to 32, and they still maintain a 3-point lead.

The spirits of the Wizards players have been affected a little bit-the 3-point lead is also very good, as long as there is a lead...

When the Wizards players retreated to the defense, they had a quick discussion about not being too influenced by Liu Xiu. When the Trail Blazers launched an offense, the Wizards players kept hinting to themselves, thinking not to blindly pinch and make up defense... ...Then, Liu Xiu's chance came!
Liu Xiu noticed that the opponent's defense was weird, and keenly judged that the opportunity was coming, and moved around the basket at a 30-degree angle to the right with a screen. Jared Jeffries was on the baseline and Arenas was at the free throw line. But neither of them went to make up for Liu Xiu. Although they saw that Larry Hughes was blocked by McDyess, they both felt that the other party would make up for it. Then, Liu Xiu received the ball at a 30-degree angle on the right, turned around and made a three-pointer. ...

In!With 3 seconds left in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers tied the score at 35!
With Arenas missing a three-pointer from the center line, the Trail Blazers tied the score after the first quarter!
……

Obviously the score was tied, 35 to 35, and both teams played excellent offense in the first quarter.

But the atmosphere on the bench for the two teams was quite different.

On the one hand, the momentum is like a rainbow, and on the other hand, it seems to be about to lose.

The Wizards are the latter.

Since they are players, when everyone gets together in private, there must be a lot of time to discuss people or things related to basketball. Warden Liu Xiu, who is regarded as the leader of the new generation after his rookie season, is naturally the object of their discussion.

As one of the youth teams, the Wizards are mostly young players. After this year's results, the players are all excited. If they want to challenge those strong teams, the Bulls and Trail Blazers, who are also representative teams of the youth team, naturally became their target.

The Wizards have successfully surpassed the Bulls, and now their eyes are naturally focused on the Trail Blazers. When they want to defeat an opponent, they always want to find the opponent's flaws, and subconsciously magnify the opponent's flaws... nothing special...

Then tonight, I met the runaway warden. After the first quarter, many stars of the Wizards have been beaten into a daze!
This guy exploded and what he saw from the video was even more exaggerated!

9投6中，其中三分球5中3，加上5中5的罚球，刘秀单节狂飙20分4板2助攻1盖帽！

Arenas scored 9 points on 5 of 13 shots in a single quarter, which is already very good. He tried his best, but compared with Liu Xiu, he was beaten miserably!
On the other side, the Trail Blazers are naturally the one with the momentum.

Little Flying Squirrel took off his training uniform, Outlaw Outlaw and Kwame Brown were put on again, together with Liu Xiu and Raheem, they entered the next round of rotation.

There was no extra celebration, the Trail Blazers players focused on eating the candied haws brought by the warden, expressed their deep respect to the warden, and asked if they could take two candied haws back for their son or daughter or wife or girlfriend , The ones bought outside are not as delicious as those made by the warden... By the way, listen to the coaching staff's tactics.

The warden ran away. Although the teammates were still more excited than anyone else, they were able to use some methods to divert the excitement and avoid being too much affected.

Too strong positive emotions will also affect performance.

The intermission passed quickly, and the second quarter began.

The Wizards sent a combination of Blake, Larry Hughes, Stephen Jackson, Ethan Thomas, and Haywood. As always, at least three of the five starters were on the field.

However, the Wizards did not perform as usual. On the first attack in the second quarter, the Wizards had the ball. Larry Hughes rushed inside and got a big cap from Kwame Brown!
