Healing Basketball

Chapter 903 903. The warden is stronger!

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and the defender became Ronnie Brewer.

No matter what the situation is when beating others, anyway, every time I meet the warden, Xiao Pao first chooses to follow his heart—not to confront the warden head-on.

Finding a way to win is the most important thing.

Carter said it well, basketball is a team game, not a person's heroism.

The speed of giving up the alignment was much faster than Liu Xiu expected...

Ronnie Brewer's defensive characteristics: active, confrontational, tough, and not afraid of being elbowed.

Liu Xiu started to accelerate from a position one meter beyond the three-point line, rushing forward!

Liu Xiu broke into the inside line without any surprises, Ronnie Brewer failed to stick to Liu Xiu, Kirilenko missed the defense in the middle, Liu Xiu came to the sideline of the three-second zone, grabbed the ball, and before Chandler got in place Throw shot...hit!
The core defensive trio of Kirilenko, Chandler, and Paul didn't have a temper when they met Liu Xiu.

He is fast, strong, and his skills are becoming more and more comprehensive. At the same time, he is also very good at points, and he is very good at using threats that are good at scoring methods to create other scoring conditions.

When he was an opponent, when Paul saw the news attacking Chandler's slow progress, he would still mock him.

But now, he was so fucking annoyed that this high school student made progress so slowly?

If Chandler can have Kirilenko's defensive level, he doesn't need the first-level defense ability of the year, and he doesn't need the blocking king and DPOY favorite, just the current Kirilenko's level...Paul suddenly sobered up after receiving the ball , seems to think too much.

How can such a big center be exchanged for a marginal All-Star Okur?
Moreover, with him, Kirilenko, and a center forward at the best defense level, the opponents have nothing to play, so why should he be afraid of the warden?

If you can't defend it, you can't defend it. It's just a preseason game. After accumulating experience, Paul advances to the frontcourt. Let's play pick-and-roll instead of singles!
Technology flow + support flow pick-and-roll master Boozer, impact-flow pick-and-roll genius Chandler, all-around small forward Kirilenko, Ronnie Brewer with excellent impact... Paul began to enjoy basketball.

But the Jazz didn't perform particularly well tonight.

The shooting touch is not bad, but in the face of the Blazers' all-out defense, the Jazz's offensive and tactical coordination is average.

The talent that Liu Xiu copied from Paul has the bonus effect of "significantly improving the tacit understanding with teammates who perform pick-and-rolls", but in Paul himself, it is faster to cultivate tacit understanding with teammates who are good at pick-and-rolls. Didn't play a game, and the tacit understanding with Chandler is still accumulating.

Moreover, turning Okur into Chandler is not simply an extra pick-and-roll point guard. Boozer and Kirilenko also have to adjust their play style according to the change of center forward. After Ruhr topped Gordon Kirisek and became the starter, it also affected the Jazz's tactical coordination.

The first few preseason games were okay, but in the last preseason game, the Trail Blazers went all out, and the Jazz's offense was somewhat hindered.

When the Blazers paired Stevenson and Millsap up front, the Jazz's offense stalled for a while.

But on Liu Xiu's side, the offensive that started off hotly continued, and extended from scoring individually to driving the whole team!

Liu Xiu's offense was hot, and the Jazz team's offense was blocked, forcing the Jazz to follow up on defense, but the Jazz's offense was further blocked.

Sloan didn't have any good ideas for a while, so he could only use time to get used to it.

They played pretty well, but who made the Trail Blazers send Stevenson, Millsap, and Kwame Brown's iron-blooded striker combination after playing for 3 minutes?
首节刘秀9投5中，其中三分球2中1，加上4中3的罚球，单节14分3板3助攻1抢断，率领开拓者队打出了25比19的比分，领先爵士队6分！
...

Although it was only a preseason game, the fans at the scene were overjoyed, just like Chinese New Year.

In the first 7 preseason games, Liu Xiu did not perform very well, either because he played less time, or because he had to play tactics all the way and had no chance of independent performance. The statistics were not good. The fans of the Trail Blazers were a little worried. After all, they Since the second half of the 05-06 season, it has been a long, long time since I saw the 'passer-by type' version of the warden.

Now, they are finally relieved.

And many people have discovered that Liu Xiu has more tricks in back-ups, and the small throws developed last season have become more proficient, and the progress of single defense is also visible to the naked eye.

More professionally, what I saw was the improvement of Liu Xiu's expertise in assisting defense-better positioning, and shorter moving distances when supplementing defense and assisting defense.

This not only makes Liu Xiu's supplementary defense more efficient, but also reduces physical exertion.

This consumption refers to the short-term physical consumption between several rounds. The improvement of this ability can make his overall performance more stable before the next rest time.

These professional fans don't know how to describe their feelings after discovering Liu Xiu's progress.

It's too much!

It's so strong that after a summer of gaining weight, there is still such a big improvement... Even Liu Xiu's fans think it's unreasonable!

As the saying goes, pressure makes progress.

Of course, people who have to face pressure have good psychological quality and ability.

The Jazz are the group of people with good enough mentality and online abilities.

Under Liu Xiu's terrifying deterrence, in the second quarter, the Jazz exploded offensively!

Boozer made 9 of 5 shots in the second quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 14 points in a single quarter. Paul scored 6 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. points, a full 29 points more than the first quarter!
However, the focus is on the offensive end, and the Jazz did not do a good job defensively.

刘秀第二节5投3中，其中三分球2中2，加上4中4的罚球，单节12分，加上雷-阿伦的8分，路易斯-威廉姆斯和布雷克各进了一个三分球、夸梅-布朗有个补篮的2+1加罚也进、希尔进了一个长两分……开拓者队单节拿到31分！
Generally speaking, the two teams played equally well in the second quarter, but in the third quarter, there was a slight gap in the offensive performance of the two teams. The progress driven by pressure is temporary, and it may be possible to rely on the ability of the coaching staff in the future , to transform temporary progress into long-term progress, but in the current game, it is very easy for the opponent to catch loopholes.

The Jazz scored 27 points in the third quarter, which was slightly worse than the second quarter, while the Trail Blazers scored 30 points steadily.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led by 11 points!
In the final quarter, Sloan chose to live on his laurels, slammed defense, and stopped attacking. He fought so hard but lost, which hurt morale a bit.
