Healing Basketball

Chapter 599
Maurice Cheeks has obvious intentions and wants to force Philip Saunders to replace Yao Ming in advance through the starting lineup.

But this was predicted by Philip Sanders. He directly replaced Yao Ming and did not give the opponent a chance to take the initiative.

Yao Ming averaged 32 minutes per game this season, but that doesn't mean he can only play 32 minutes per game. Strict control of playing time is for the health of big centers and to prepare for key games.

The Trail Blazers are the Western Conference team most likely to reach the Finals in the eyes of Philip Sanders. The match against the Trail Blazers is naturally a key game, and Yao Ming's playing time limit is lifted.

With Yao Ming, Billups, Carter, and the two role players Maurice Evans and Amir Johnson, the strength of the lineup has been greatly improved compared to the rotation stage just now.

But the opposite side actually went straight to the starting lineup!

After a timeout, the Trail Blazers took the lead. Liu Xiu lobbed the ball to Randolph on the right baseline. Randolph singled Amir Johnson's turnaround jumper!

When it came time for the Pistons to attack, Yao Ming, who felt bad when he saw the lineup on the opposite side, took the initiative to ask for the ball in singles, forced Kwame Brown, dunked into the basket and scored two points with one hand, which greatly inspired his teammates. morale.

When the Trail Blazers attacked again, Liu Xiu passed the ball to the outsider who pulled the ball to the top arc, and then went to the right bottom corner. The outsider passed the ball to Randolph who was in the middle distance from the baseline on the right. With Carter moving in a direction where he can pinch Randolph, Randolph tacitly launched a singles game, attracting Carter to pinch, and the prepared pass was sent to Liu Xiu to avoid stealing.

The Pistons were prepared. Liu Xiu encountered a pincer at close range and made another pass. The outlaw moved from the top arc to the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone to catch the ball. There was a big gap!

Ray Allen circled to the high post to contain the defense. Liu Xiu was close to the front of the basket and Randolph was on the right side of the bottom line in the three-second zone. One must be placed to complete the defense against the three stars Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Ray Allen. They chose Kwame Brown, who can directly eat cakes and dunk by putting out-of-law lunatics.

The outlaw lunatic didn't get caught this time, and the CIC made it!

42 to 40, the Trail Blazers took a two-point lead!

The ability of role players to make open shots was a huge blow to the Pistons' defense, and they were forced to defend one-on-one.

Neither Carter nor Billups can defend against Liu Xiu, and Amir Johnson almost cried when he met Randolph.

The next adjustment on the offensive end is singles.

Yao Ming + Billups + Carter's star singles is a style of play that both coaches and players of the Pistons trust more in this situation.

When there is a superstar in hand, there is no tactic better than letting the superstar stand up and solve the problem.

But Yao Ming is not the type who can play singles all the time; Carter just rushed a wave of 9 points and 1 assist, and is in CD. madman...

Billups really bit the bullet and played, and then led by Liu Xiu and Randolph to play a wave of 9-4.

打到第二节9分33秒，开拓者队将比分打成51比44，领先优势扩大到7分！
The Trail Blazers had a chance to open the point difference to double digits, and Philip Sanders called a timeout!

...

The Pistons playing at home may fall behind by double digits at halftime. After entering the timeout, the commentators of major TV stations are discussing the Pistons' lineup rotation.

Court Sports Channel, the Shuangping team explained the game.

Sun Zhengping expressed doubts about the rotation of Philip Sanders. It is obvious that this lineup cannot do it.

Zhang Weiping speculated: "I think Sanders has his own ideas. He didn't expect the Trail Blazers to be directly assigned to the starting lineup so early, but he didn't make a panic substitution. Instead, he turned passive into active and took the opportunity to consume the Trail Blazers. The physical strength of the starting players, but I didn't expect that when Dayao was flanked, no one in the Pistons scored..."

Zhang Weiping gave full play to his professional knowledge, tried not to let himself be at the same level as Sun Zhengping, and made an excellent analysis, but unfortunately, the fans in front of the TV pressed the mute button when they heard his voice, in order to protect the country Contribute to energy saving and emission reduction, 3 watts and 5 watts are also electricity, and the double-level combination is of great merit.

Philip Sanders really had this plan, but there was a gap between the ideal and the reality. Carter was allowed to play casually in the front, and there was no problem, but it affected the offense in the "war of attrition" stage.

No time to be upset, Philip Sanders actively adjusted and shot a combination of Lynch Hunter, Billups, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Yao Ming.

This time Philip Sanders predicted correctly, and the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, outlaws, Randolph, and Mourning.

Back from the timeout, the Pistons attack.

Billups played singles with the ball in the top arc. Yao Ming did not move to the flank this time, but went to the left side of the three-second zone.

Kwame Brown rested, Yao Ming went to the low post, and the Blazers' defensive position was forced to go down the line.

Billups singled out the outlaws, still so sloppy, three-point shot...in!
47 to 51, the point difference narrowed to 4 points.

When the Trail Blazers were attacking, Liu Xiu also made an outside shot, and shot a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll... Unfortunately, even with the double bonuses of 'General' and 'Top Arc Killer', this shot is still solid.

However, Randolph hit the ball over Yao Ming's head and made a putback!It also caused Yao Ming to grab a rebound and foul, the referee blew his whistle to confirm that the goal was valid, and Randolph got an additional penalty!
After scoring the goal, Randolph spewed slang words, his body was shaking, and his saliva splashed everywhere. The referee almost gave the whistle.

Randolph also made an additional penalty, 54 to 47, and the point difference came to 7 points again!
Although Randolph's tip-off 2+1 was amazing, and he was angry personally, but in the final analysis, it was just an accidental goal. The Pistons players in the 15-game winning streak were extremely confident and did not take it as a return. thing.

Billups' single three-pointer just now was very invigorating for the Pistons players. They wanted to take advantage of this wave of offense to narrow the point difference. Influenced by Philip Sanders, they were calm and pragmatic at this time, and did not think about it. Turn the score over in less than 2 minutes, and it is enough to reduce the score.

When it came time for the Pistons to attack, Billups used the three-point threat to successfully pass the outlaw madman, and the pass was very clean. Judging from the emergency stop jump shot opportunity, Mourning made up from the basket.

This is within Billups' expectations!Billups hoisted the ball to the basket, and Yao Ming stepped into the basket from the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball, jumped up and dunked excitedly... "crack", "bang"...the crisp sound of blocking and the ball hitting the frame The sound reaches the ears of the people around...

Liu Xiu's flying body hat!The ball hits the blue frame and pops out of bounds!

Seeing Liu Xiu who landed was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, Billups was very annoyed.

He saw that Liu Xiu was shrinking, but he thought that at such a distance, even if Liu Xiu was fast, it would be difficult to make up for it. However, when Yao Ming received the ball, Billups saw Liu Xiu rushing faster!
In fact, Yao Ming also noticed Liu Xiu's contraction, but he didn't hesitate because of this at the time, instead he was more determined to dunk. He didn't expect Liu Xiu to rush in like a desperate shot!
Is it really a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, and a shot in the back?
But regardless of this, Billups is now a question mark, even if this block is very domineering, the Trail Blazers are too excited!

Like they already won the game with this block!
No, the fans at the scene were originally quieted down by Liu Xiu's block, but seeing the excitement of the Trail Blazers players, the boos of the fans became normal again.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and reminded the Trail Blazers that the game was still going on.

Liu Xiu hurriedly told his teammates to stop, and directed them to prepare for defense. At this time, he quickly glanced at the system prompt.

"Talent: Giant Killer is triggered, the host is trying to defend Yao Ming this time, speed +3, strength +3, and the sense of blocking is greatly improved."

"Talent: Giant Killer triggers, the host successfully blocks Yao Ming, and the morale of the whole team is greatly improved."

'Chinese Derby must play' +1, he is also extremely excited.

The referee confirmed that the last thing the ball touched was Liu Xiu's hand, and the Pistons continued to attack with 8 seconds left.

The ball missed Billups, Lynch Hunter received the ball, Ben Wallace came out to block Lynch Hunter, not to create a shot, but to pull Randolph out, suffered After Randolph switched defenses, Lynch - Hunter made the ball immediately.

Yao Ming was already ready, and Mourning was caught in the low position on the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball, and he made a strong push...Yao Ming saw Liu Xiu letting Prince go in from the bottom line on the right, so he hurried to work and did not hit again The second step is to turn around and hook... Mourning interfered in place!
Yao Ming's ball is iron!

The ball bounced to the right side of the basket, and Liu Xiu, who rushed in, grabbed a defensive rebound!
Billups rushed in to press Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu turned around to protect the ball.

Liu Xiu saw that Prince and Ben Wallace had retreated, and his teammates didn't have a good chance to play a fast break, so he chose to protect the ball and advance quickly, changing the rhythm of the game.

After falling into the position, Liu Xiu slowed down suddenly. The Pistons were not affected, and he was neither annoyed nor discouraged.

Facing Prince's defense, Liu Xiu did not make a strong attack and passed the ball to Ray Allen who was pulled out.

Lynch Hunter led Ray Allen to shoot. Ray Allen received the ball and flicked a shot to get a breakthrough opportunity. He rushed to close range and attracted Ben Wallace to defend and score Randolph.

Because of the previous 2+1, Yao Ming made up his pace faster, and Randolph took a step forward, lifted the ball and threw it out.

Yao Ming's first reaction was a question mark, what is this for?Immediately secretly shouted bad!

The terrible premonition came true, Yao Ming didn't even have time to turn around, he felt an extra 200 catties of burden on his back, and there was a "clang" sound from his head... Liu Xiu ran back from the left side of the three-second zone and cut in, received Randolph's lob, and separated Yao Ming Complete the empty catch dunk!

When fellow villagers see fellow villagers, Yao Ming was shot in the back again!
'Chinese Derby Must-Play' +1 again!
