Healing Basketball

Chapter 513 513. Stand up!

Before the start of G3, the Trail Blazers players did not reject the idea of ​​sweeping the championship when they were interviewed, and Liu Xiu certainly would not reject this argument. He may be the one the team most wants to sweep the Nets.

As a result, the away game lost by 13 points. Judging from the whole game, it was considered a disastrous defeat. At this moment, Liu Xiu felt a little pain in the face. This face was hit.

In addition, Liu Xiu was heartbroken to see the description of the reward for sweeping and winning the championship dimmed in the task of 'far ahead'!

Talent limit breakthrough card!He only got it once!
The media’s wall-scratching attributes are still there. On the way back to Greenton Hills, the little flying mouse who participated in the post-match press conference complained wildly. The Nets won only one game. The questions from the reporters made him feel that the Nets had completed the Mavericks style. 1 to 4 reversed the same.

Then diss why Liu Xiu won the highest score in the game but didn't attend the post-match press conference.

Liu Xiu tilted her head and looked at the stars in the sky, whistling as if she didn't hear anything.

It was night, after entering the simulated training space, Liu Xiu entered the mode of highly clear thinking and reviewed the first three games. The next day, on the morning of the rest day, his teammates were sleeping late, and Liu Xiu went to the small building where the coach lived. , Join the meeting of the coaching staff and discuss together.

It may be that the older you are, the shorter the sleep time you need. Payton, Lynch Hunter, George Lynch, Van Horn, Flying Squirrel, McDyess... and other veterans also got up early and gathered at the coach's residence The small building and the small living room at the end seemed crowded. Everyone went to the yard together, Liu Xiu set up skewers, and everyone discussed while playing skewers.

Not every player has a coaching mind, and not every player even knows how to analyze the game. People like Flying Squirrel, McDyess, Van Horn and others do not have such ability. It is rare to have such a coaching staff gathered together At the meeting, these few people discovered that their team is full of genuine talents. They may not, but it does not prevent them from feeling how good their team's krypton gold is.

Huo Tu is like a walking tactical library, analyzing all the tactics the Nets played in G3.

George Lynch, who played under Larry Brown, was greatly surprised by his defensive coaching skills. He felt that the coach was a bit like Larry Brown, but he was not as tough and domineering. It shouldn't be just a teaching assistant at all.

In fact, this is also the case. The Nuggets very much hope to retain Bu Shuai as the head coach, but the salary they pay is too low. A small market team, an unknown coach, is unwilling to pay a high salary, but Bu Shuai is right. The pursuit of money is greater than the pursuit of the status of the team. Simple and pure, the charm of Paul Allen is obviously higher than that of the entire Nuggets team for the coach.

There are also the game experience of Lynch Hunter and Payton, Liu Xiu's ability to coordinate and analyze the three games like an outsider, and Chris Irving, a shooting coach, should pay attention to the shooting based on the defensive characteristics of the Nets. details...and Maurice Cheeks' ability to make decisive decisions.

After the analysis and research in the morning, there is no pre-match preparation meeting, tactical training, and no one has come out to mobilize, but the players who participated in this impromptu coaching staff meeting have regained their confidence!
In fact, these things have always been there before, but everyone is used to the excellence of the coaching staff, the experience of Payton, and the leadership of Liu Xiu...

...

"The Nets bottomed out and rebounded, and the fighting power that broke out is very fierce. It is worthy of being the strongest team in the East. I feel the pressure, but it doesn't matter. We are still the one in the lead. I feel very sorry for the resistance of the Nets. Excited, I hope they can resist more fiercely..."

After a day of preparations, on June 6th, the game day for Game 20 of the Trail Blazers and Nets finals arrived.

After the pre-match training in the morning, Liu Xiu accepted an interview and answered his views on the performance of the Nets in G3.

When the teammates heard Liu Xiu's words, they didn't know why, as if they heard the sound of the engine, but felt Liu Xiu's arrogance!
They admired the arrogant and domineering style of the warden.

After an afternoon of rest, at 6:10 in the evening, the Blazers continued to step onto the court with the belief that they must win.

Even if they lost G3 the day before yesterday, they still lead 2-1. They won't lose the championship after losing all 3 away games. What are they afraid of if they lose 1 game?
It's really rare to be so tough after losing a game.

Anyway, the Nets players were surprised when they saw the Blazers full of fighting spirit and confidence.

They thought that the big victory in G3 would dampen the spirit of the Trail Blazers, but they didn't expect that the opponent's fighting spirit seemed to be even more high-spirited!

However, the core players of the Nets such as Kidd and McGrady were only surprised, but not surprised.

If it was really that easy to frustrate the Blazers, the Blazers wouldn't be the most amazing team since the new century.

On Liu Xiu's side, when he entered the stadium, he felt the change in the atmosphere of the Army Aviation Arena.

Boo really has the feeling of playing away!

Although there are still a large number of Trail Blazers fans who have grabbed tickets, because the Nets started selling tickets for G3 and G4 after reaching the finals, the Nets fans who bought tickets after G2 sold not only G3 The tickets for G4 also sold a lot.

But the cheers of these Trail Blazers fans were completely covered by the boos of the Nets fans!
Liu Xiu doesn't think the fans 'only watch the win', because this is what it should be. Could it be that the fans spend money to buy tickets to watch the home team lose?
When the home team, the Nets, played, the cheers and cheers of the fans were completely different from the previous game.

There was still no communication before the game, and the two teams were making their final preparations.

As the Nets' bench, Kidd helped the coach to do a good job of emphasizing the tactics in the opening stage.

The victory in G3, McGrady's enthusiasm and strength after returning to normal play made Kidd very excited.

His goal is to win G4, tie the big score, and fight the battle of Tianwangshan!
As long as they win G4, their Nets will have a clear advantage!

The most criticized part of the current 2-3-2 finals system is this. The team with a better record will play two games at home first, even if they win, and then go to play three consecutive away games. Lost in the first two away games, tied 3-2, the team with a better record will have to play the Tianwangshan away game. After losing two games in a row, they will continue to play the Tianwangshan away game... Anyway, the format of the finals is changed to 2-2 After -3, if the first 2 games are tied 4-2, the team with the worse record has a higher probability of winning the championship than the team with the better record.

Teams with a good record have won both home games, and there are also cases where they lose 4 games in a row and lose the championship.

Just when Kidd was lost in his imagination, he was awakened by several incomprehensible roars from the other party.

Kidd couldn't understand it, and most of the people on the scene couldn't understand it either, but some Americans who could speak Chinese, or Chinese and overseas Chinese who came here to watch the game could understand it.

"Xiongqi" in Sichuan dialect!
During the warm-up, Liu Xiu thought about what to say before the game to enhance the cohesion. "The Trail Blazers dogdog" seems too rustic, and the Nets don't deserve the words "Bitter Nets" …Suddenly these two words popped up in his mind. He was deeply impressed by the scene of the audience yelling "Xiongqi" during the sports team competition in Sichuan.

Americans feel that Chinese is very foreign, and when they heard Liu Xiu's suggestion, regardless of what it meant, they decisively followed suit...

Not to mention, the words he didn't understand, coupled with the passionate voices of the Trail Blazers players, really gave Kidd a sense of oppression and felt the heroism of the opponent.

However, after the yelling, Liu Xiu got out of the crowd cursing.

He stood up and called his teammates to gather together, he raised his fist to guide his teammates, but he was overwhelmed by his teammates!
With a full sense of the camera, he felt that the camera was focusing on them, but he was blocked by his teammates, and the camera couldn't capture him at all!
Anyway, if there is any negative emotion now, Liu Xiu will bring it into his anger against his opponent. When McGrady came on the court, he was confused by Liu Xiu's resentful eyes.

Didn't I just win one game?How come I did something outrageous.

I can't win by mentioning wheat?

...

At 6:30 in the evening, with Kwame Brown's strange cry, the game began!

Payton received the ball back from Kwame Brown and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.

Nets starting: Kidd, McGrady, Richard - Jefferson, Juwan - Howard, Mourning.

Trail Blazers starters: Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Came to the front court with brisk steps, Payton didn't hit the ball, he came by himself, breaking through from the right side of the top arc!

The Blazers' frontcourt trio's impact and Liu Xiu's follow-up on the flanks pressed the Nets' defense to the inside. When Payton reached the top arc, Kidd had just expanded from the inside and hadn't stood still. Payton passed.

Kidd turned around and chased hard, keeping up with Payton, who was old after all.

But Payton had expected it, slowed down in advance, turned around in progress, leaned up towards Kidd, then turned back and circled to the middle, and turned around and shot a jumper one step inside the free throw line...hit!
Payton's iconic breakthrough and back-to-back turn shot!

Watching the ball fall into the basket, Kidd couldn't help clapping his hands to cheer for Big Brother.

Even as an opponent in the finals, Kidd has to admire Big Brother's ability to seize opportunities.

Kidd felt that Payton really gave everything in this finals!

Looking at Payton, who was celebrating with his teammates while retreating, Kidd became more emotional.

The Nets attacked, Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, faced Payton's defense, and chose to break through!
Payton easily predicted Kidd's breakthrough line, and his lateral movement was enough to keep up with Kidd... Didn't keep up!Blocked by Richard Jefferson!

Although it was an accident, Liu Xiu and Payton immediately completed the defense switch. Liu Xiu received the distance from the free throw line and did not extend. Kidd stopped after entering the three-point line, took off, and took a long two-point shot...hit!
