Healing Basketball

Chapter 561
The game continued, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

Liu Xiu advances to the frontcourt and passes the ball to Randolph. Randolph hits Anthony Walker forcefully.

Mutombo couldn't make up for this ball, and Kwame Brown went around the free throw line. As long as he pinched past, Randolph and Kwame Brown could connect in the air. Power forwards can be counted on to defend themselves, but...

Anthony Walker felt bad when he saw Randolph on the court. He thought he was going to guard Raheem!
The magic operator can't figure out that the Trail Blazers really don't consider the playing time and data guarantees of Raheem, Payton, Little Flying Squirrel and others.

Morris Cheeks' coaching style is wilder than the magic operator expected.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Heat attack.

Wade singled out the outlaws, broke into the inside and returned to the direction of the free throw line, Anthony Walker caught the ball with one step in the top arc, stepped back and made a three-pointer... Iron!
Liu Xiu came back from the bottom line to grab the defensive rebound and push for a counterattack!
Fat Toutuo is such a waver, Wade rushed back cursing.

Liu Xiu quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that only 4 of the other side had retreated, he didn't hesitate. , Liu Xiu went straight to the basket and rushed to the basket, Anthony Walker guarded the basket, Wade received the inside line from the outsider, flanked Liu Xiu, when Liu Xiu took off, Wade followed, but Liu Xiu's jump was not a shot , but shift the ball to the left rear.

Kwame Brown rushed to the basket along the left sideline of the three-second zone, caught the ball and dunked and scored two points!

17 to 15, the Trail Blazers lead by two points!

The situation changed suddenly, Shen Suanzi's expression was calm, and the godfather's temperament was taut, but he scolded the other party for not talking about martial arts in his heart.

This rotation really caught him off guard.

But now immediately call a timeout and replace O'Neal?This is obviously an unfeasible operation.

What needs to be done now is to be patient, and the game is not just about lineup comparison. Now their players on the Heat have a clear advantage in one aspect-more physical strength.

But at the beginning, although this advantage is clear, it has little effect!
In the next time, the Trail Blazers firmly took the initiative.

Even at this age, Mutombo only plays more than 10 minutes a game, and his ability to protect the basket is not weaker than that of O'Neal, but only in the vicinity of a reasonable collision zone. Hitting the basket during the battle, the 218cm + 118kg giant was just an old African lion trapped under the basket, unable to stop the Trail Blazers from operating at close range.

The Trail Blazers centered on Randolph and opened up the situation from close range. Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, and Randolph played the entire first quarter, only using Mike at 9 minutes and 15 seconds. Days replaced Kwame Brown and gave Kwame Brown a break.

Driven by Randolph's 5 points in the half quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 16 points in the second half of the first quarter, and at the same time limited the Heat without O'Neal to only 10 points in the half quarter.

29 to 25, the Trail Blazers overtook the Heat by 4 points and entered the intermission!
...

Maurice Cheeks, full of guts! 5 starters and 4 played the first quarter, and one played more than 9 minutes. This operation made the assistants speechless.

But the effect was pretty good, successfully reversing the situation and overtaking the score.

It's just that this is in exchange for the physical strength of the starting lineup, and there are many risks...

Hearing the vice president's concerns, the coach said: "The Heat's roster has changed so much. We just started the new season. We know very little about the characteristics of the Heat's style of play. We have to be bold, just to make Riley unexpected. Look at him. How will you deal with it?"

The vice president sounded very reasonable, and asked expectantly, "How's the result?"

"What result?"

"Riley's strain! What do you think of his strain?"

"It's very powerful. He insisted on using Wade and Walker as the main attack. He didn't replace O'Neal. He adjusted the positions of the two wing shooters. He played steadily and withstood our impact. Then we may be suppressed again."

"..."

The vice president wanted an ordinary stool to beat the coach to death.

It's so awesome, I thought I had achieved such a good effect, but this is the result?

The inter-section rest time passed quickly, and both teams made personnel adjustments.

The Heat sent a combination of Arroyo, Shandon Anderson, Anthony Walker, Haslem, and O'Neal.

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

Liu Xiu felt rushed, and the opponent really wouldn't let Wade play quarter after quarter. Wade's physical strength was not among the top ones. He remembered that there would be an interesting statistic in the future - Wade in the regular season Combined with the playoffs, he played more than 1200 games, but only 11 games were played, less than one percent.

Because this statistic is quite special, Liu Xiu remembered it.

After the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their initiative in the first quarter, with a 9-5 layup to open the score to 38-30!

White Chocolate, Wade, and James Posey all rested. For Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel, the Heat seemed to be defenseless outside.

There are also times when the magic operator misses, but the matter has come to this point, he can only hold on.

这时候奥尼尔站了出来，面对麦克戴斯的防守、法外狂徒或拉希姆的收缩夹击，奥尼尔在接下来3分多钟时间拿到3投2中外加2中1的罚球拿到5分2助攻，以一己之力率队打了开拓者队一波10比8，打停开拓者队！

46 to 40, the Trail Blazers entered the official timeout with a 6-point lead, but with this advantage, Maurice Cheeks felt flustered!

O'Neal has been too vigorous in the past few minutes, showing the strength of the league's number one center!
Maurice Cheeks took advantage of O'Neal's free throw to replace Kwame Brown at 4:16 and couldn't stop it.

By the second half of the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks' fears became reality.

O'Neal continued his performance in the first half, and played a crazy attack with Wade, who had rested and played!
Wade scored 7 points in the half quarter and O'Neal scored 6 points in the half quarter. The two led the team to soar 19 points in the second half of the second quarter!
The most important thing is defense. In this half of the quarter, the Heat restricted the Trail Blazers to only 10 points!
打到11分52秒的时候，热火队以59比56反超开拓者队3分！
With 8 seconds left in the first half, the Trail Blazers called a 20-second timeout to arrange tactics.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Blake, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Raheem, and McDyess.

The Heat sent a starting lineup of White Chocolate, Wade, James Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal, the best defensive lineup.

The Trail Blazers' tactics around Ray Allen's running position began!
Wade worried that the Trail Blazers' run around Ray Allen was a sham, but Ray Allen ran to the top arc with McDyess covering near the free throw line, and Blake, who received the serve on the wing, passed the top arc , Wade rushed forward... He was right to worry!Ray Allen's catcher kept throwing the ball to the right sideline-Liu Xiu!

When Ray Allen used the cover to attract the opponent's attention, Liu Xiu had already moved here and waited.

After receiving the ball, Liu Xiu adjusted her jump and threw the ball before Haslem got in place...Scored!
Liu Xiu hit a three-pointer!Help the Trail Blazers tie the Heat 59-59 into halftime!
Although he didn't trigger the 'Sharp Shooter', but in the 30-degree angle area on the right side, with such a large gap, he shot with confidence!

...

12 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. With the last three-pointer in the first half, Liu Xiu scored in double figures in the half. The statistics are quite good. Compared with Wade, who had 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the half , Liu Xiu performed better.

But O'Neal's point, the Trail Blazers players tried their best, and the coach racked his brains to make a fuss about lineup rotation, was still suppressed.

奥尼尔第二节单节11分3助攻，半场拿到17分6板4助攻2盖帽，表现堪称残暴！
Maurice Cheeks is having a headache right now.

He began to miss Big Van Gundy, how easy it is to deal with that guy with a wrinkled suit, with some bold routines, Big Van Gundy doesn't know how to deal with it.

Magic is too difficult to deal with, with a rich tactical library, can play showtime or iron-blooded defense, calm, and strong on-the-spot adaptability... To choose a dynasty godfather among current head coaches, Maurice Cheeks first recommends Pat- Riley.

Maurice Cheeks is very entangled and can't think of a way to gain a clear advantage in a certain aspect. A superstar like O'Neal pushes everything equally!
Maurice Cheeks, who was struggling with the tactical board, suddenly felt the danger. He knew who was coming without looking. He held the tactical board tightly and asked, "Warden, what do you want?"

Liu Xiu responded, "I have an immature suggestion."

Maurice Cheeks breathed a sigh of relief: "Suggestion, good suggestion, just come and grab my things."

Liu Xiu: "Huh?"

"It's nothing, just tell me your suggestion!"

"So so, so so."

"Is that so...it might be a solution...Jeff, I'll leave it to you!"

...

Back from halftime, the Trail Blazers sent Payton, Liu Xiu, Delfino, Varejao, and McDyess; the Heat sent Arroyo, Wade, James Posey, Anthony Walker, O'Neal The combination.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Heat took the lead, and Arroyo received the serve and pushed forward. As soon as he reached the middle circle, he was stuck by Payton, who was like candy. The rest of the Heat encountered hand-to-hand combat earlier. After receiving the ball, Wade was stuck by Liu Xiu!
Arroyo hit Dream Six at least, and advanced steadily. After reaching beyond the three-point line, he quickly lobbed to O'Neal who was stuck in the low position on the left side of the basket. A dunk... Varejao slapped O'Neill's arm hard, O'Neill missed the ball in pain, the ball flew, the referee whistled, Varejao made a foul, and O'Neill made a free throw!

Seeing this scene, the oily-headed man couldn't help spewing out "Pinkie"!
