Healing Basketball

Chapter 441.

Dream steps!

Randolph, who followed Duncan's footsteps and rushed to the basket, was stunned to see Liu Xiu's low-post footsteps.

But let alone Randolph, Liu Xiu was dizzy herself.

He felt that if the pass had a high probability of being a mistake, it would be basically useless to get into the basket, so he might as well throw it away-it was the West Coast.

The result is in!
The past two years of back hitting and turning around were not in vain!

Muhammad reacted very quickly, yelling at the referee to walk and make whistle gestures.

But the referee saw it very clearly. Liu Xiu took only two steps to turn around after grabbing the ball, and took off with both feet connected. It was a good ball and Muhammad was ignored.

Muhammad just tried it, without too much expectation. Although there is an eventuality, the main purpose is to slow down the rhythm of the game and reduce the possibility of his teammates getting restless because of Liu Xiu's ball.

To press the rhythm, you must first start pressing from your own rhythm.

Popovich is very satisfied with Muhammad's control of these details.

For the Trail Blazers, if they get Muhammad, they will just get a McDyess with a weakened shot, stronger defensive confrontation, and less mobility, but for Popovich, this is a baby!
In the transition between offense and defense, Duncan sent the ball to Parker, and Parker's advancing rhythm was obviously slower than the start.

Taking advantage of this time, the TV commentators analyzed Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll attack just now.

Compared with "dream footsteps", Liu Xiu's crotch piercing is actually more impressive to the audience.

Other people's crotch piercing is light and nimble, but the warden is different, violent and brutal, full of wild and unruly temperament.

Parker pressed the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that Parker's speed had slowed down, Liu Xiu whistled towards Parker. Parker was not stimulated, and quickly ran to the right, handing a hand to Ginobili who ran out. Follow Liu Xiu to move.

Parker's 64.6% shooting rate at the basket is two points higher than that of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu dare not let go, but follows closely, always paying attention to whether the ball will come.

Payton focused on defending Ginobili, paying attention to the details of Ginobili's every movement, trying to predict... Ginobili passed!
Duncan leaned on Kwame Brown to catch the ball in the low post!

Once, Duncan relied on his explosive power to face Kwame Brown's oppressive low-post position since he entered the NBA, and his position was very stable.

Now, Duncan has improved a lot of static strength and excellent power-generating skills, and his defensive position against Kwame Brown is still very stable.

Feeling Kwame Brown's defense, Duncan felt that it had improved compared to December, and he praised it in his heart-as expected of the warden, a high school student who is in trouble can play with him.

But, his stone Buddha has improved even more!
Facing Kwame Brown's top low-post defense, Duncan relied on his excellent rhythm and used a turnaround fake to trick Kwame Brown into moving his center of gravity.

Duncan turned around, blocked Kwame Brown's way to make up for his position, stepped on the left sideline of the three-second zone and made a layup!

Randolph was dumbfounded again - it's fine that the warden has improved so fast, but you are almost 30 and have suffered facial paralysis twice, how much technical progress has been made!
Is there any reason?

Duncan's moves seem ordinary, not as many tricks as Liu Xiu, it seems very simple.

However, he has already stepped into the ranks of first-class insiders last season, and this season he has become a top butcher, knowing that this is a manifestation of his skills.

He knows very well how difficult it is for Duncan to change his style of play!It's no worse than the amazing feeling that Liu Xiu brought him!

Is it really as the warden said?When Duncan performs a technique on the court, must that technique Duncan be top-notch in the league?
When Randolph was thinking about things, he almost jumped up with a word from the good student.

Kwame Brown followed Duncan who retreated, and shouted at Duncan: "Poker face, you have fallen! How tough you were before, why are you playing as soft as toilet paper now?"

Randolph:? ? ?

If you want to die, don't pull me on your back!
But why does this tone seem so familiar?
Randolph looked at Duncan. Fortunately, Duncan was not angry, and his expression was calm... What a fart!It's more scary if this guy doesn't have an expression on his face!The anxious, irascible Duncan who faced Nowitzki the night before was easier to deal with.

Liu Xiu is also paying attention to the center of the two top picks. Seeing Duncan's reaction, he feels a little regretful.

As for the others...it's not him playing against Duncan.

Liu Xiu came to the frontcourt, received the ball and continued to play pick-and-roll offense with Kwame Brown.

Muhammad still couldn't stop Liu Xiu's breakthrough after using the cover, but he knew very well that he was not the one who could defend big and small, regardless of his physical fitness and defensive talent. In fact, his defense was quite like an outlaw lunatic. Make defensive decisions easily and focus on interference, so you won't lose your position easily. Continuous interference is the coach's favorite type.

In the last round, Payton just moved to the free throw line and responded from a more accurate shooting position. As a result, Parker moved in to block the defense. This time Payton took the initiative to cut from the left side of the free throw line to the left side of the three-second zone, allowing Parker to have a better shot. Good opportunity to make up for Liu Xiu.

But when Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through to the depths, it was Duncan who made up for it first!
Parker also wanted to make up for it, but when he saw Duncan move, he immediately stopped and followed Payton well.

Liu Xiu points the ball to Randolph, and Muhammad switches defenses in time to make up for Randolph. He stepped on the left sideline of the three-second zone and just received the ball. Muhammad has already posted it in place, but Randolph also has The target - Kwame Brown!

Kwame Brown cuts in the middle, receives the ball in one step from the free throw line, jumps up immediately, doesn't even come to a run-up, and directly throws up a flying dunk with both hands... Interrupted by Duncan who is actively withdrawing, Kwame Brown is affected, and his little hand Slip, the ball flies!
Duncan grabbed a defensive rebound in the crowd by relying on his wingspan advantage!

Liu Xiu launched a rush towards Duncan. Duncan lifted the ball up and did not rush the ball. Liu Xiu interfered and waited for his teammates to retreat and retreat. Duncan passed it to Parker.

TNT Sports commentator Kenny Smith gave the two very high evaluations for these two seconds: "Both of them achieved their goals. The Warden created good opportunities for his teammates to retreat. Duncan It also eliminates the risk of mistakes.”

Barkley answered in seconds: "The two of them are really boring. They are killing the viewing of the game. Such a good chance to block and counterattack was destroyed by the two of them."

Kenny Smith immediately retorted: "Not all fans want to watch, many fans also like this kind of details."

"The detail? The detail is that the warden locks up Parker? God, oh, here we go again... Are the warden and Duncan trying to ruin this game? The warden locks up Parker, and Duncan is going to lock up Lan Dove revenge? These two people are so narrow-minded..."

Just now, facing Liu Xiu's defense, Parker once again displayed a high-speed change-of-direction breakthrough, but was once again caught by Liu Xiu without any suspense.

This time, Payton did an excellent job of defending Ginobili off the ball. He seized the opportunity. When Parker had a chance to pass the ball, Payton gave Ginobili a countermeasure to interfere with Ginobili receiving the ball, and waited for Ginobili to receive the ball. When Billy turned his back and bypassed Peyton, Parker was already caught in the pincer circle of Liu Xiu and Raheem, unable to pass!

Parker was forced to stop the ball and had to make a forced shot, which was photographed by Liu Xiu. Raheem grabbed the ball and pushed forward to counterattack, and passed it to Liu Xiu on the way. I was disturbed by Duncan who was actively retreating back!At the same time, Duncan also held the defensive rebound himself!
When he saw Parker being surrounded, Duncan judged that the ball was either a strike or a mistake. Randolph was stuck in the position, and it was difficult for Duncan to charge, so he simply chose to retreat.

In fact, Liu Xiu defends Parker from breaking through and completes the block, which is a very entertaining scene. Duncan, a big center, retreats to block the opponent's fast break, which is also a very powerful scene.

But when Duncan interfered with Randolph's fast break, he didn't take off. He just stood on tiptoe and used his body to fight and interfere with his body... It was too simple. It has become a simple confrontation + interference, and a predictive retreat and interference fast break.

In the previous round, Duncan interfered with Kwame Brown's one-step flying dunk with both hands inside the free throw line. It was purely based on his super strong wingspan of 230 cm. Sticking to Parker on the outside and cooperating with teammates to lock Parker have become stifling game viewing.

The fans at the scene are fine, their team has the same style, the better the defense, the happier they are, the Larry Brown team is like this, the worse the offense of both sides, the higher their chances of winning; but the TV Many fans were drowsy after watching it... At this time, Barkley's sarcasm commentary combined with Kenny Smith's professional explanation made the fans who watched the live broadcast of the two of them understand that this was a reflection of who played well. With the commentary of these two people, the game really seemed to be so interesting.

Barkley's ability to analyze the situation and predict the situation was also shown next.

Liu Xiu restrained Parker, the second leading scorer of the Spurs, and the Spurs' offense was paralyzed by half, so Duncan would work harder to defend close range and the basket. The most affected was naturally Randolph, and Randolph Husband is also his team's second-leading scorer, and the Blazers' offense is also paralyzed by half!

As the top scorers of both sides, Liu Xiu and Duncan are the ones who attach the most importance to the opponent's defensive end. They can only score by their individual ability. The team's defense has a team offense below the league average.

At this time, the burden of scoring fell on the third scorers of the two teams - Raheem and Ginobili!
Ginobili has Parker on the flank, Duncan at the basket, and Muhammad in the middle distance. He defends Rahim fairly well; Payton does a good single defense and makes good use of Ginobili. The team's defense against Raheem is about the same.

The two teams did not score well at the beginning. They hit the iron continuously and made successful defenses consecutively, resulting in extremely low scores.

Both teams have been waiting for the player who played a key role in the other side to make a mistake, and in the end, both of them were steady!
Just when everyone thought they were going to enter the official timeout like this, Ginobili broke out!
First, he suddenly made a three-pointer with a pull-up and throw while facing Payton's defense, and then a stepping layup that broke into the inside line caught Kwame Brown by surprise. Nobili wanted to perform the Eurostep, watching the Trail Blazers and the Spurs play a 9-8 half-quarter score, and Ginobili played a 5-0 spurt alone!

After 6 minutes and 32 seconds, when the Trail Blazers called a timeout and entered the official timeout, the score was 9 to 13, and the Trail Blazers were 4 points behind the Spurs!
...

Ginobili suddenly went into a rage, and the Trail Blazers fell into a passive position.

Although Liu Xiu also felt pain and pressure about Ginobili's soaring, she was not surprised.

This is part of the strength of the Spurs.

7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, this is Ginobili's score in half a quarter, that is to say, without this wave of 5 points in a row, Ginobili only had 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in half a quarter, Payton's defense was very successful .

However, Ginobili just went berserk and scored 5 points in a row. I really don't blame Payton's defense. As the X factor of the Spurs, Ginobili didn't stab his team this time, but slashed hard. Killed the opponent!

Back on the bench, Liu Xiuben planned to wait for the coach to adjust the lineup and tactics before delivering a speech from the warden to ease the pressure and worries of his teammates.

Playing iron-blooded defense puts a lot of physical and mental pressure; I have already played well, and I thought I was evenly matched with the opponent, and I am about to enter a timeout. You can try to rush to the opponent after returning from the timeout. After a wave... The Trail Blazers players really need leaders to stand up to boost morale and heal their wounded hearts.

The warden is very good at things like healing teammates!
However, after Morris Cheeks made adjustments, the Trail Blazers players have already stood up!
It's not what Maurice Cheeks said, but his serious expression...

His appearance is sloppy, his facial expressions are not well managed, he is unkempt, and he doesn't look like a coach when he talks... Describe his appearance at this time in detail. It gives people the feeling that if they don't play well, their coach won't do anything. If he can do it, although he doesn't know what he can do, it is deterrent.

Even Liu Xiu felt that the deterrent effect of their coach getting angry was greater than Ginobili's 5-0 alone!
This is the special talent of their coach!
Liu Xiu has noticed this feature before, and he has always thought it was a good thing, and appreciates his coach's special way of leading the team.

But now, he feels that the coach is stealing his business!

He is the healing master of the team!

……

Pause back.

The Spurs sent a combination of Udri, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, and Muhammad.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess.

The rotation of the Spurs was not as expected by Liu Xiu-whoever played well would be fucked to death.

Once, when he first entered the NBA, Liu Xiu had a wrong perception when he played against the Spurs - he substituted Popovich's employment method in the old troika era many years later into the present.

But after fighting many times, he knew that at this stage and earlier, Popovich basically kept playing whoever played well, like Muhammad and Ginobili tonight; they were replaced Yes, it is usually a bad fight, such as Parker who just entered the official timeout and was scolded by Popovich by pointing his nose.

But Duncan seems to be quite special. Compared with last season, Duncan's average playing time decreased by more than 3 minutes per game. Compared with last season, Duncan's average playing time per game has decreased by more than 3 minutes. Minutes of playing time, and there is a further downward trend.

However, Duncan's playing time has decreased in most games, and he is still the one with the most playing time in strong duels. For example, he played 41 minutes against the Mavericks the night before yesterday.

The game continued, and the Blazers attacked.

Little Flying Squirrel received the serve from the center line, advanced beyond the three-point line, and passed it to Liu Xiu who pulled to the top arc.

Bowen and Muhammad are ready to continue the interference defense that they did well in the first half of the quarter, and start a team defense around Duncan's close-range defense.

Seeing that McDyess might have the best overall pick-and-roll quality among all NBA substitutes, the Spurs decided that Liu Xiu would play a pick-and-roll with McDyess.

Thinking of Liu Xiu’s pick-and-roll before the All-Star Weekend, and thinking about it now, he didn’t start from scratch, but became a qualified pick-and-roll ball handler from scratch... Bo Wen contributed a wave of healing to Liu Xiu Well, he hates these super geniuses who seem to be rewarded by God the most.

For Liu Xiu, he didn't dare to do anything. He didn't do anything now, and McDyess glared at him several times when he walked onto the court.

What's more, the warden himself took revenge on Artest's terrifying elbow...

But as the strongest perimeter defender in the world, he can deal with Liu Xiu with his strength!

During the timeout, Popovich arranged an anti-pick-and-roll strategy!

Then, Liu Xiu contributed a wave of healing value to Bo Wen... Liu Xiu passed the ball and passed the ball to the outlaw lunatic on the left side who was leaning against Udrih!

Udrih also provided Liu Xiu with some healing values, but more of the 'fuck' was aimed at the outlaw lunatic, a high school student who didn't speak martial arts.

This body can be used as a power forward. How shameful is it to catch the ball and attack him as a small guard?
As for the fact that he wants to use his speed to limit the opponent's reception... the essence of human beings is double standards.

However, the extrajudicial lunatic didn't care what the people behind him thought. After receiving the ball, he grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched it away from the basket. This posture was learned from the warden, and he felt very handsome.

After Liu Xiu, who passed the ball, moved Bowen to the right side of the three-second zone, the extrajudicial lunatic turned around and forced Udry!

What Udrih thought was that he would keep up with the footsteps of the outlaws who turned around, then stand still, and fall straight down after being hit by the outlaws, making him an offensive foul... But his body movements and It wasn't the same thing he was thinking at all.

He didn't have the strength to squeeze up to block the outlaw lunatics, and he was directly pushed away!

Youdry can't do it even if he wants to steal. The extrajudicial lunatic's breakthrough is quite simple, and he has big feet and fast explosive speed. He entered the free throw line in three steps from the start, and Udry was thrown away!
Muhammad has a good defensive awareness, he extended from the bottom line on the right in advance, and blocked the outlaw lunatic one step inside the free throw line, and the outlaw lunatic split the ball... Liu Xiu happened to catch the ball after circling the pile from the middle distance on the right To the ball, before Bowen aggressively swooped in place around the pile, he made a mid-range shot...hit!
Because the defender is a small guard, he actually used the high school student's ability to follow up and cut off the ball directly to break through the top arc?How can you still play like this?Popovich looked at the scribbled coach on the opposite side, feeling like he had learned something!
As everyone knows, the scribbled-looking coach on the opposite side has the same idea as him...
