Healing Basketball

Chapter 481 481. Young General
The questions the warden asked were always so unexpected.

Who would ask such a question?
The outlaw lunatic was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

The warden said that if you think you can do it, you have to show confidence to let others think you can do it.

As for what if it is overconfidence and actually can't do it?
Throw your face back!What's the big deal?
Only talking about single defense from the outside, outsiders think he must be better than Liu Xiu.

Received an affirmative answer, and Liu Xiu was very satisfied.

Another high school student on the team, Kwame Brown, surprised Liu Xiu by defending Nowitzki twice in singles!

With the offensive and defensive strength of the Mavericks, in this wild offensive and defensive battle tonight, the Trail Blazers can hold the score tightly, not only because of his warden's few wild shots, but because of the concerted efforts of multiple links. work together.

After two previous matches against the Mavericks, Liu Xiu has seen Kwame Brown learn how to defend Dirk Nowitzki from outlaws, and learn basic skills such as the footwork of a mid-range and long-distance face-up shooting guard from Payton... …

Liu Xiu remembers that he only mentioned "the Mavericks will be our strong opponent for the championship in the next few years", and Kwame Brown listened to it and has been working hard!

Shaking his head and putting aside distracting thoughts, he began to adjust his lineup and tactics.

Of course, continue to take the wild attack mode!

His wild offensive mode is not to force a shot at a disagreement, but to throw it when he thinks there is a chance. He scored 6 points in more than 7 minutes, and he also had assists. Although there was only one, the ball passed was really More than one, what a good chance to pass the ball, of course he passed, playing very freely, very free, so free that the Mavericks didn't know how to respond, so they could only follow along with full momentum.

Liu Xiu discovered one thing, the young general Johnson is really suitable for this Mavericks team, even more suitable than the old Nelson!

A bunch of singles players, the old Nelson should be really not used to it.

Liu Xiu reckoned that with the current lineup of the Mavericks, there might not be another coach who can combine the characteristics of the major scorers so well like the general.

However, General Johnson is still too young.

In other words, the little general discovered the problem, but chose to continue shopping in order to win a winning streak.

This is also understandable, 18 consecutive victories, for a rookie coach, is completely irresistible temptation... And this has become a breakthrough in Liu Xiu's eyes!

The warden wants to let the little general know tonight that the little general is just a little general after all.

A true general, in Rose Bay!

Onlookers Morris Cheeks listened to Liu Xiu's aggressive lineup rotation and looked at his empty hands...

Forget it.

This kind of game, this kind of adjustment method, even if he is as bold as him, he can't do it.

So immature!
The coach said to Huo Tu: "Record the adjustment of the warden..."

...

In the past month, the Mavericks have been the team with the best competitive state and overall performance in the entire NBA, not one of them.

16 consecutive victories, invincible!
They played the Trail Blazers tonight. Although they were pressed for more than 50 seconds at the beginning, they had the advantage in the next 6 minutes.

After returning from the intermission, Avery Johnson sent out the strongest singles lineup of Terry, Marquis Daniels, Stackhouse, Nowitzki, and Ratliff.

Obviously, he didn't drop the opponent by a dozen or so points as in the first [-] or [-] games, and the little general became impatient.

Seeing the warden on the opposite side change into this lineup, he took a deep breath. This is what he wanted to see, but the pressure also came.

Next, he will join forces with Little Flying Squirrel, Outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown to challenge the strongest five-man team of the season!

The lineup of the Mavericks is definitely not the strongest five-man team throughout the season, but if you only look at the last month, it is!

The game continued, and the Blazers played very firmly on offense. Flying Squirrel and Liu Xiu took turns to attack. When Flying Squirrel was attacking, Liu Xiu was in charge. Extrajudicial lunatics respond at mid-range, whether they score goals or not, their tactical execution is extremely strong.

The Trail Blazers are very lucky, the little flying mouse is in a pretty good state tonight, and playing against Stackhouse, who also has a high salary as a substitute, the little flying mouse is so excited.

Under the leadership of Flying Squirrel, the Trail Blazers played a score of 5 to 11 against the Mavericks in a little more than 12 minutes after the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers were only two points behind the Mavericks 28 to 30!

The Mavericks clearly had the upper hand, but after entering the intermission, the little general was more impatient.

Their infinite singles team, the strongest five-man team, actually only had the upper hand on the scene when facing the Trail Blazers without Payton and Randolph. The toes touched the three-point line. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't even open the 1-point difference!

The reason is that their two strongest players inside and outside are in trouble!
Although Kwame Brown's speed and agility are inferior to the Outlaws, it is enough to deal with Nowitzki, who is moving horizontally at the center. His wingspan is not as good as the Outlaws, but his height makes up for it. Kwame Brown is better than the outlaws in judging the timing of interference... Kwame Brown caused Nowitzki a lot of trouble!

The situation on Terry's side is better than that of Nowitzki, but Iverson will be affected to a certain extent by the interference flow defense of the extrajudicial fanatics, and so is Terry.

Singles scorers are not afraid of a defensive player who wants to lock you down, unless the defensive player is as strong as Artest or Bowen, but there are few defensive masters of that strength in the league.

They don't even want to encounter the kind of defensive players who only want to make shooting difficult, especially for skilled singles players.

The Wolf King, who has had a miserable life recently, is one of the best. The previous Sirius King almost led his team to upset the Mavericks.

Tonight, the two high school students of the Trail Blazers also played a defense similar to the Wolf King!

Although they are much worse than the Wolverines, the Trail Blazers' advantage over the Timberwolves is that they have two high school students with explosive defensive talents!Can interfere with Terry and Nowitzki at the same time!
But now, the little general's annoyance is not that the Trail Blazers have outlaws and parallel importers.

The bad thing about him is that Ratliff played the entire first quarter!

The intermission is over, the little general replaced the twin towers of Nowitzki and Dampier, and sent Harris, Finley, and Stackhouse on the outside.

As he expected, Randolph was replaced on the opposite side!The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Van Horn, and Randolph!
...

coming!

Here comes the power!

Looking at the Silver Horn King + the second center in the Western Conference, Butcher felt the strength emerge!

After the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers started Randolph's main attack mode as the general expected!
In the 03 playoffs and the 03-04 season, Randolph exploded as long as he played against the Mavericks. It wasn't until Ratliff that the Mavericks were able to limit Randolph.

Because he didn't have an advantage in the score, the little general let Ratliff play the first quarter. When Randolph didn't play in the second half of the first quarter, the little general didn't replace Ratliff. After the replacement, the Trail Blazers will replace Randolph as the main attacker.

With Ratliff on the court, the Trail Blazers did not replace Randolph, which is actually a successful defense.

The little general wanted to be stable, but he didn't have an advantage on the offensive end, so he stabilized first on the defensive end, firmly held the initiative in his hands, and looked for opportunities to widen the point difference.

But they failed to really take advantage in the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter, the situation changed, and the Trail Blazers relied on Randolph to take the initiative!
With 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the half quarter, Randolph led the team to score 15 points in the first half of the second quarter!
Nowitzki and Dampier are not fast, and the Mavericks have been pressing the rhythm, playing a slow-paced offensive and defensive game, and taking advantage of the number of singles stars.

In this case, the Trail Blazers actually scored 6 points in 13 minutes and 15 seconds!The Mavericks scored only 13 points.

When entering the official timeout, the Trail Blazers tied the score!The two teams tied at 43!
In the second half of the second quarter, the wildness of the Trail Blazers who tied the score has not diminished in the slightest!
Tonight, the tone of the Trail Blazers was established from Liu Xiu's first few shots, and he insisted on carrying it out.

In contrast, the Mavericks played very 'complicated'.

Tactics are not complicated. To put it simply, the Mavericks' tactics are singles + other people's running support.

This 'complicated' refers to the little general's coaching ideas!

He wants to be stable, but at the same time wants to play a very large lead to open up the point difference in one fell swoop. While he is highly confident in the strength of his team, he is also worried about this and that...

That is to say, the Mavericks players are in really good condition. Relying on Stackhouse's 6 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, the Mavericks regained a 1-point lead at halftime, leading 56 to 55!

...

During the intermission, the home team locker room of the Rose Garden Arena.

Liu Xiu was watching the halftime report.

16 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in the half.

Like other teams that haven't played against Liu Xiu for a long time, the Mavericks are also hurting Liu Xiu's fiery state, and meeting the warden in the explosive stage.

Liu Xiu in the 'staged outbreak' mode, in the eyes of others, means that he is in good condition recently and is in the explosive stage.

But Liu Xiu also felt pain for the crazy state of the Mavericks players.

The 16-game winning streak is really not for nothing!

Liu Xiu has watched the videos of every game during the Mavericks' 16-game winning streak. Although he only watched it roughly, he still felt the Mavericks' recent state that can be described as 'terrible'.

Tonight, the Mavericks continued their recent invincible state!
Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu was very happy to be able to close the score, but the close score was not his happiest thing. His original plan was to be behind by a dozen points at most...Of course it would be natural to close the score better.

刘秀看着对手的半场战报，诺维斯基打满上半场，8投3中拿到8分；特里第二节一开始休息了3分钟，半场打了21分钟；拉特利夫也打了18分钟……
