Healing Basketball

Chapter 500 500. This opponent is really strong!
Back on the bench, Liu Xiu was drinking vegetable juice. This was a drink his teammates were unwilling to try. Even the outlaws found it unpleasant, because he squeezed all kinds of vegetables himself, and they were all unpleasant, especially for Liu Xiu. Show brought this green.

But the vegetable juice produced by the system is delicious, so Liu Xiu can only enjoy it by himself.

Entering the inter-section rest, the first half minute to one minute is the time for the team members to wipe off their sweat and relax.

Maurice Cheeks came to Liu Xiu: "How do you feel, Warden?"

Liu Xiuying said: "It's terrible, they are too stable, we seem to have a climax at the end, but that is the hole in the Spurs' defense, just because their defense is so good, we can't find that hole until the end And take advantage of it, and that's probably what Popovich expected."

"Oh yeah, the Spurs have the best defense I've seen in decades, but we don't have to worry about the Spurs playing better, do we? That should be their limit. "

"Yes, the Spurs almost lost to the Sonics in the first round, and they won with Bowen's iron hoof."

"Iron hooves? Cool, I like that word."

"But we can't expect much fluctuation in the strength of the Spurs. No matter how the Suns hit in the second round, the Spurs will not fluctuate at all. Even if the Suns win an upset, the Spurs will still be stable in G5."

"..."

Maurice Cheeks suddenly felt the pressure double.

Seeing Liu Xiu's brows stretched, Maurice Cheeks felt that his goal should have been accomplished. He came to talk to Liu Xiu before making adjustments, in order to help Liu Xiu relieve her pressure.

However, watching Liu Xiu humming a song and handing the empty drink cup to the staff...

Bridge Bean Sacks!

Maurice Cheeks felt the pressure surge inside him...

Mare Facco!

The asshole warden put the pressure on him!

Maurice Cheeks took a deep breath. As a coach, the ability to withstand pressure is a must, and this is one of his job contents.

At least, you don't have to worry about the warden being crushed by the pressure...

...

After receiving the healing value from the coach, Liu Xiu's mood suddenly brightened.

But the pressure cannot be dissipated, the Spurs are so strong!

Liu Xiu understood why the Suns couldn't defend both home games, and couldn't even play at home in G5.

too strong!
In the adjustment link of the inter-section rest, the coach made rotation adjustments and made targeted adjustments on the defensive end according to the coach's suggestion, but on the offensive end, this time the layout is a big framework.

Leave the offense to the players themselves!
What Liu Xiu read from the operation of the coaching staff-the coaching staff is also on the offensive end.

There is nothing wrong with the tactics of one round, but not every round can be called a timeout, and even if it can be, the volume of the Big Three of their coaching staff is not enough.

After the intermission, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Delfino, Randolph, and Varejao; the Spurs sent Parker, Bowen, Ginobili, Muhan The combination of Mulder and Nesterovic.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead.

Parker received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, but Ginobili didn't ask for the ball, and Parker started playing singles.

Parker faced Liu Xiu and made a breakthrough with a change of direction, but his straight breakthrough failed to get rid of Liu Xiu's amazing lateral acceleration. When Parker didn't get rid of the defense and forcibly broke through to the bottom line, he felt that Liu Xiu's backward steps were faster than before. a lot.

But these shocking things can no longer scare Parker. He stopped suddenly at close range and shot a feint. Liu Xiu didn't take off, but stuck to it. Parker didn't give up. The inside of the frame popped out.

When Parker saw the ball hit the basket, he immediately turned around and retreated, and shook his left hand that threw the ball.

The goal was missed, but he was still a little happy. This trick, he thought, would work!It is a style of play worth developing, but it is difficult to develop non-dominant-handed throws, and the basic skills of emergency stops need to be practiced better, which is more difficult... But seeing Liu Xiu who received a pass from Varejao, Parker felt that he could It is difficult to develop new technologies.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Bowen's defense.

Bowen plucked up the courage to talk trash: "With my defense, you can't score! You can only wave your arms."

Liu Xiu responded casually: "No, no, I can still step on my feet."

"..."

Bo Wen didn't know how to spray a few more words. At this time, Liu Xiu suddenly accelerated his breakthrough. Bo Wen followed closely and didn't lose his mind because of the trash talk. Passed back to Derek Anderson who moved to the top arc to respond, and then began to move without the ball.

Watching Liu Xiu start to run again, Bao Wen chased after him cursing at the street.

His dignified candidate for the best defensive player and a master-level defensive master selected for the first defense for two consecutive years has actually been reduced to defending off the ball.

Derek Anderson did not choose singles, but commanded the offense honestly and signaled Randolph to receive the ball.

Randolph's singles attracted a pinch attack and gave the ball to Delfino. Delfino, who had enjoyed full confrontation treatment, missed two points after receiving the ball.

Blacksmithing feast, the second quarter continues!

The Trail Blazers were led by Randolph, and the Spurs were led by Parker. The West Coast style of this game was particularly strong.

The Spurs troika kept two players on the court, but Ginobili only performed well for 20 or so minutes per game, which was short or not long, and his positive statistics were almost all in those 20 or so minutes. According to statistics, in the first two rounds of this season, Ginobili's performance in each game has improved significantly. The average performance of 20 minutes is 53 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists with a shooting rate of 4%. It is similar to Jordan's efficiency in the playoffs at the age of 28. Of course, Jordan averaged 40+31+6 in 8 minutes per game in the playoffs that year, and the time doubled data more than doubled.

But Ginobili won the title of Jordan for 20 minutes after the second round. Thanks to their opponent being the warden, the media even praised the Spurs players, so that more people can understand Ginobili's performance in this year's playoffs is indeed very crazy. Ginobili has also become the second Spurs player with a fan base other than Spurs fans. The first one is naturally 6 consecutive All-Star starts Tim Duncan, according to statistics from the previous two days, Duncan became the first player to endorse more than 202 brands with 200 endorsements this year, more than Jordan and O'Neal.

Therefore, Parker's many shots are caused by objective conditions.

When Duncan rested and Ginobili was in the invisible stage 20 minutes away, he only pointed at Parker.

Liu Xiu's defense against Parker was effective, and Shuai developed a targeted defense against Parker around this point, and Parker started his journey of ironing again.

But the Spurs are not afraid of Parker hitting the iron, because they can rely on defense to make the opponent hit more iron!

The Trail Blazers are the ones who are passive in the rhythm of the game. Through the defensive adjustment of the coach and Morris Cheeks' excellent personnel rotation, the Trail Blazers can keep up with the Spurs on the defensive end.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Blazers struggled to win the score 8-9, trailing the Spurs 24-27 by 3 points, and did not allow the opponent to widen the gap.

After all, the Spurs are more adaptable to this style of play. In the second half of the second quarter, Duncan made a catch and made a mid-range shot, and Ginobili made a single three-pointer. Expanded to 5 points, leading 2 to 6!

It was the Blazers' turn to attack, with more than two minutes left in the second quarter. The Blazers were composed of Liu Xiu, Flying Squirrel, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown. The Spurs were composed of Parker, Kyle Nobili, Bowen, Duncan, Muhammad.

Liu Xiu gave the ball to Little Flying Squirrel after advancing halfway, and continued to run with Bowen.

Bo Wen, who kept his mouth shut all the time and didn't say much to avoid being killed by Liu Xiu, couldn't help it now: "You will be our stepping stones, just like the Suns..."

"It's like you stepping on Allen? Shut up, I don't want to hear you spit shit." Liu Xiu sputtered angrily and ran around the free throw line from the left side of the three-second zone.

Being scolded, Bowen became angry and followed Liu Xiu's footsteps and wanted to do something, but when he saw the surname 'Liu' on the back of the pursued target, he immediately chose to endure it, and wanted to Give yourself a slap, what is the difference between just now and scolding?He vowed to stop talking and refocus on defense.

But just now, it still affected Bowen's defense. Liu Xiu received the ball at the top corner on the right side of the free throw line and used the screen to break through from the middle distance!
Bowen just didn't notice Kwame Brown's movement, it was blocked, Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll, 'Buff: General' was triggered, accelerated two steps, grabbed the ball, European steps to avoid Muhammad who came up to defend Germany, go straight to the basket, take off, dunk... Duncan entered the basket when Liu Xiu dunked the ball into the basket, not to mention that it did not have a substantial supplementary defense effect, but also because he was in the middle of the air against Liu Xiu in the air. On the move, called a blocking foul!

Liu Xiu's goal was valid and he was given an additional penalty!

Liu Xiu and his teammates celebrated by high-fiving, and walked to the free throw line to make an extra penalty amidst the cheers of the fans.

29 to 32, the point difference narrowed to 3 points!
Duncan slapped his thigh as he went into the basket to catch the ball and exit the baseline.

It's obviously not enough to make up, this leg has to be put together by myself!

He always thinks about what happens, if the opponent is careless, he can attack the frame casually, and his seemingly useless supplementary defense will be effective, and there have been successful cases.

It's just that this is the case most of the time.

Liu Xiu’s dunk boosted the morale of his teammates. In the last 2 minutes, Little Flying Squirrel made a three-pointer in singles. Kwame Brown grabbed an offensive rebound and passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu then passed it to Randolph. Randolph He scored a strong layup and played a wave of 5 to 5 with the Spurs at the end of the first half. After halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Spurs by 34 points 37 to 3!
When the whistle sounded at the end of halftime, Liu Xiu took a deep breath. This opponent is really strong!Playing against this opponent in the playoffs is really different from the regular season!
