Healing Basketball

Chapter 923 923. End the losing streak!

In the first half of the second quarter, Liu Xiu rested for half the quarter.

Seeing Maurice Cheeks using the Spurs as a training target, Liu Xiu was convinced.

He also understood that in fact, he was the only one who thought in his heart that he must win against the Spurs tonight, although everyone really wanted to win the Spurs and wanted to end the losing streak against the Spurs.

But having already lost so many times in a row, it is not particularly difficult to accept another losing streak.

Fortunately, the coach is not in vain, and he has gained a lot.

Another flaw of Korver was discovered-the lack of independent outside containment ability.

At first, Liu Xiu thought that the 76ers didn't want Korver because he thought Korver was too expensive as a pure pitcher without defense. Now, he thinks that Korver is really not good for the 76ers.

Korver can't stand in the bottom corner and open the space like Ray Allen. His running ability is not good enough, and his running awareness needs to be strengthened.

And the 76ers don't have that kind of star with particularly strong ability. When Iverson was there, Korver was very useful. After Iverson left, Iguodala couldn't really support the scene. Abandoned.

However, when Ray Allen is replaced, two shooters, and the defensive pressure is on Ray Allen, Korver is very good.

Later, Randolph and Louis Williams were replaced together, and Korver stood beside him to catch and shoot, and he was also able to open up the space excellently.

This confirms that the current Korver can only play as a substitute, and play a good supporting role when there is a star threat.

But enough!Their Trail Blazers have Ray Allen!

At first, their expectations for Korver were only Ray Allen's top role when he was resting.

Although Korver can't form a containment alone like Ray Allen as expected, he has more advantages, especially forming a forward and defensive line with Ray Allen, coupled with his warden, and two rebounds Yes, it works great.

Liu Xiu is going to discuss with the coach to see if he can implement the musketeer tactics of the Sonics and incorporate them into the team system.

Also, it was confirmed that the role of the outlaw when he came off the bench against the Spurs-power forward.

The Spurs no longer play the Twin Towers. Although Duncan signed up as a power forward, he is actually a pure center. The main reason is that the Spurs' center depth is not enough, and there are a bunch of power forwards.

The power forwards of the Spurs are average in hardness and focus on skills. On the offensive end, extrajudicial lunatics have an advantage in speed against Scola, Oberto, Bonner and others. Just right.

The experiment in this half of the game is not a loss!
And, while running several valid experiments, they also extended their lead!

Fortunately, the two or three lineup adjustments in the first half of the second quarter produced a good chemical reaction, and the score was 19 to 16 in the half quarter.

Entering the official timeout of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 49 points 43-6!
...

The on-the-spot response ability has improved, but not much.

Popovich has always been aware of his shortcomings, he can only "overwhelm others with power", and lacks the ability to defeat the strong with the weak.

Therefore, when he conceived the tactical system, it was based on 'crushing and defeating all opponents'.

Everyone laughed at him for this idea at first, but he managed to win two championships!
He thinks this is his ability...

This is not important, the important thing is that he can't beat the opponent tonight!

Generally speaking, the opponent's constant adjustments may be full of mistakes and omissions. Some adjustments are effective, but most of the adjustments will not be effective... But the opposing Trail Blazers are not an ordinary team!
The Trail Blazers are making adjustments based on their successful offensive play in the past three years. This is very similar to the Spurs' play adjustment. The Spurs' adjustment is so smooth because they have been winning and have enough of themselves. ' as a reference, and the core of 'winning' is still those three people.

So, Popovich worked hard to deal with the changes in the Trail Blazers, but he was just like that on the spot. He made 10 adjustments with good results in 8 times against the Trail Blazers...he chose not to act.

This is better than the Bulls' Scott Skiles shaking his wits in a hurry!

After the official timeout came back, the Spurs played steadily, controlled the rhythm, actively retreated while playing a brisk offensive, reduced the Blazers' fast breaks, and reduced the number of rounds... Popovich didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that Liu Xiu hit them faster than others, and always fought back harder.

第二节后半段，马刺队与开拓者队打成了12比12平，半场结束时以55比61落后开拓者队6分。

In the third quarter, the Spurs' style of play that stabilized the rhythm was still very effective. They relied on their strong comprehensive strength to play rogues, just procrastinating!
The Spurs' style of play is the same as in the first match between the two teams at the beginning of the season. At that time, the Spurs had a clear lead in the first half, and then slowly simmered in the second half. Maintaining the lead to the end is similar to the Trail Blazers' defense last season when they had an advantage.

单节25比27，三节打完，马刺队以80比88落后开拓者队8分。

...

The Trail Blazers shot 56.3% in the first three quarters. The Spurs relied on stability to bite the score, and the point difference was only 8 points. They did a very good job.

This is what they are good at. When the opponent explodes and the offensive firepower overwhelms them, they rely on stability to fight hard. After the opponent's explosion stage has passed, they use a steady and powerful attack to kill the opponent.

Occasionally, it can also be accompanied by the rampage of the demon knife, and the powerful attack becomes a crazy offensive.

到了第四节，马刺队就是这样做的，前三节只拿到7分3板2助攻的吉诺比利末节狂飙14分1板3助攻，加上邓肯今晚稳定的每节8分，两人携手率队狂轰33分！
However, the Trail Blazers also scored 11 points in the first 26 minutes and 27 seconds. With 34 seconds left, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 115 points 113 to 2 and held the ball!
When it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Liu Xiu used McDyess to pick and roll, rushed to the right side of the free throw line and leaned against Duncan who was making up for him, then turned around, grabbed the ball and jumped to the right, took off, and made a shot...

Duncan tried his best to reach out to block the block. He had pushed Liu Xiu to the limit. Liu Xiu couldn't do more moves, but he couldn't do more interference...

Liu Xiu's body was almost tilted sideways and he shot in!
With 16 seconds left, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 117 points 113 to 4!
The Spurs called a timeout, but after the tactics were played, the ball did not reach the first choice Manu Ginobili, Bowen received the ball from the bottom corner and missed the shot, the Trail Blazers grabbed the rebound and used up the rest of the time...

刘秀16投9中拿到，其中三分球6中2，加上6中6的罚球拿到26分11板14助攻，布雷克拿到6分5助攻。

两人帮助雷-阿伦拿到24分、兰多夫19分5板2助攻、科沃尔18分、法外狂徒12分7板2助攻1抢断……

The Trail Blazers scored in double figures with 5 players and defeated the Spurs 117 to 113, ending their 5-game losing streak against the Spurs!
