Healing Basketball

Chapter 668 668. Has the Head Coach Betrayed?

"We fell behind 31 to 32 in the first quarter, and we led 32 to 29 in the second quarter. We have a slight upper hand overall. It's good, but we can't be careless..."

After returning to the locker room at halftime, the players rested for a few minutes, and Maurice Cheeks began to adjust. First, he quickly analyzed the situation in the first half.

The main statistics of the two teams in the first half were written on the small blackboard.

Liu Xiu looked at McGrady's 25 points and 2 assists in the half, and his head was big.

还有打了20分钟的基德拿到6分3板7助攻，这位球场掌控者不知道啥时候就7次助攻了，刘秀感觉基德持球的时间并不长。

Seeing myself with 18 points and McGrady with 25 points, the scoring gap narrowed from 9 points to 7 points, the pressure in this area has not decreased.

This guy is also the master of 60+ in a single game, and now he doesn't need to be responsible for organizing the offense, at least he doesn't need to invest too much energy in organizing the offense, he only needs to focus on one... Eh?Focus on one item!
Liu Xiu's eyes widened again.

There is a way!

After the coach finished his analysis, he was about to make adjustments. When he saw the warden raised his hand, he hurriedly said, "Please put forward your immature suggestion..."

...

The halftime break was almost over, and the two teams returned to the court.

Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Raheem, and Mourning exercise their bodies and prepare for the third quarter that will start soon.

The vice president started to worry again, and asked the coach, "Will none of Ray, Zach, and Kwame play?"

The coach raised his chin: "We are leading! I didn't replace them in advance when we were behind, let alone now? The king of heaven is here, and I will also give the three-point king and the butcher at least 15 minutes of rest per game."

The vice president also provided the warden with a small wave of healing value. Regarding adjustment suggestions, he has always only offered suggestions, and he has long been used to them not being adopted. He knows the coaching characteristics of this working partner, and he even ignores the boss's words. kind of.

But why did that brat get accepted nine times out of ten?
Liu Xiu was used to the inexplicable healing from the vice president, so he ignored it, but he was very surprised by the five people walking on the court opposite...

Kidd, McGrady, Richard Jefferson, the league's strongest perimeter combination continued to play, McGrady was full in the first half, Kidd played 20 minutes, Jefferson played 17 minutes, played a lot of time, but the opponent Obviously, he regards this game as a preview of the finals, and has a deep obsession with winning this game... Liu Xiu thinks it is normal.

But the inside twin towers sent Desagaina Diop and Puerzbila!
Diop, 01 insider, good defense, averaged 15 minutes per game this season, 1.4 blocked shots, and is also a player with extremely high blocking efficiency. The twin towers formed by him and Przybilla can be said to be the most efficient in blocking shots in the league Nice twin towers.

However, with these two partners, what should the Nets do offensively?
Soon, the third quarter began, and the Nets took the lead.

What Liu Xiu was curious about was precisely what Kidd, the court controller of the Nets, had a headache for.

Kidd doubted that their head coach was scared!

He doubted very seriously. After being scored 31 points by the Trail Blazers in the first quarter and 32 points by the Trail Blazers in the second quarter, his head coach was persuaded!

During halftime, Nate McMillan talked about how to defend almost the entire time.

Kidd is going to wait until privately to talk about the passionate matchup with Nate McMillan. When he was on the court with Byron Scott, his image jumped straight away. Now we have to pay attention, face is still needed.

He focused on organizing the offense.

It's just that, with such a twin tower, the offensive running position is basically useless. Kidd didn't even think of how the two of them would attack together. In the end, it became McGrady's singles with the ball.

Faced with the interference flow defense of the outsiders, McGrady chose to break through, but Diop moved badly. Under Liu Xiu's block and the interference of the outsiders, McGrady just hit the Nets for a layup. Miss!

Mourning defended the defensive rebound, and Kidd called his teammates to retreat.

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced quickly, but instead of rushing to the opponent at full speed to switch offense and defense, he fell into a positional battle.

Now he prefers to fight positional warfare.

He originally thought it would be difficult to implement his immature suggestion and the coach's bold plan, but he didn't expect that the opponent's coach might be their undercover agent!

Diop+Purzbila, they have Mourning on their side, these three brothers are crowded in the three-second zone, by the way, there is Raheem, such a three-second zone, it is difficult for McGrady to attack the frame... on the opposite side The head coach's adjustment made it more difficult for McGrady to play singles.

The more difficult the attack, the greater the consumption.

What Liu Xiu has to do now is to increase consumption of McGrady!
Liu Xiu stopped at a big step outside the top arc, and Kidd reluctantly followed the outlaw lunatic to approach the left corner.

Gloves with high back-up skills, high back-ups against a brutal but powerful warden.

These two are placed on the back line. Kidd can only go to the left side of the three-second zone to defend against the outlaws to catch and shoot, let McGrady defend Liu Xiu, and let Richard Jefferson defend Payton. You can rely on height and mobility to lock Liu Xiu and Payton's direct backs.

But in this way, Liu Xiu went to the right to break through, and there was no outside line to shrink and block the defense on the flank.

And the twin towers...

Kidd doesn't know if Diop and Pulzbila are in sync on the defensive end. Anyway, he doesn't have any images of these two playing together. The combined average playing time of the two is less than 40 minutes per game. They are starting substitutes with the same function. character of.

McGrady didn't trust the back so much. He carefully guarded the top arc and focused on defense. Fortunately, Kwame Brown and McDyess didn't play on the opposite side.

The Trail Blazers players settled down quickly, and Liu Xiu quickly launched singles. Although he didn't play offensive and defensive transitions, the overall rhythm was very fast. When Liu Xiu started to break through, the offensive time only passed 10 seconds.

Liu Xiu changed direction, failed to fully get the opportunity to break through, forced to rush forward, and took the initiative to turn around after entering the distance of the free throw line... McGrady defended very well!
Just when McGrady thought that Liu Xiu was about to become angry and forcefully make a move, Liu Xiu passed it on!

Raheem went around to the free throw line to receive Liu Xiu's pass. After Liu Xiu made a pass, Raheem had 10 seconds left to attack when he received the ball. He had enough time to patiently look for opportunities to score in singles.

Diop's position is still okay. When Raheem went around to the free throw line, he was always in front of Raheem. Facing Diop's defense, Raheem chose to break through.

What Kidd and McGrady were worried about appeared. The two towers seemed to have high defensive efficiency, but they were completely out of sync. There was no tacit understanding at all. Raheem made a layup and easily scored!

In just one round, the mentality of the Nets' strongest perimeter trio collapsed a bit.

This pair of twin towers affects both offense and defense!
