Healing Basketball

Chapter 997 997. Three consecutive MVPs (4000 words)
"111 to 109, hey! That's great, Ellis, three-pointers are accurate!

Yaodao is really flirtatious. With 2.6 seconds left, he received the ball and turned around. The bearded man broke through for a layup and timed out... Haha, look at Duncan's expression, where is Crawford?Come and give the technical offender..."

Seeing Liu Xiu gloating, Qing'er asked, "Brother, didn't you say that you want to cut off news from the outside world to avoid being affected?"

"Yes, what you said is correct, but watching the excitement... no, it is a major event related to the strongest competitor, I still have to pay attention!" Liu Xiu looked sincerely.

Qing'er felt that her brother was fooling her again, but there was no evidence, her brother's eyes and expression did not seem to be lying, the play was really good!

"Jess, do you think the Spurs will be hacked?"

"That's right, brother, the Spurs won't just disappear like this?"

"It shouldn't be so miserable, right? Except for their lack of offensive strength and their easy passiveness during the anxious stage, they seem to have almost no shortcomings..."

After watching the excitement and chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway's interest was ruined, but there were other things to do, Liu Xiu's favorite little interaction - asking Anne Hathaway to scratch his back.

While scratching, chat about the child.

Liu Xiu expressed concern for her son's future.

Anne Hathaway asked in surprise: "Isn't Jaylen very talented? His football coach spoke highly of him, saying that he is a rare super talent."

"Of course, he is my son. It's just that his dream is a bit too great... But the American football coach, how many geniuses has he seen?"

"He should be capable. He used to work for the Los Angeles Galaxy and was Beckham's trainer. Because of the financial crisis, the Galaxy loaned Beckham to Milan and fired many support staff. Your boss In the process of preparing to form a football team called the Portland Timbers, they took the opportunity to sign a lot of talented people with low salaries.

I heard that Portland was going to build a new Major League Soccer team and went to find out. Allen learned that Jaylen likes to play football and sent the best trainer in his team to Jaylen. Coach, the football team will only officially operate next year, so there will be no delay. "

"Wow! The big dog is really rich!"

"..."

...

After a day of preparations, the game day for the second game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Suns arrived.

In the morning, the league announced the best coach award.

Warriors head coach Don Nelson beat Popovich, Carlisle, Phil Jackson and others to win the award.

This is the fourth time in his coaching career that he has won the best coach award.

Before taking a nap in the afternoon, Liu Xiu heard about this from an outlaw lunatic, and felt that the mad scientist was really awesome!
He remembered that Mad Scientist had been coaching for 30 years, and the probability of making it to the playoffs was actually not high among famous coaches, and his coaching record in the playoffs was mediocre, with a winning rate of less than [-]%.

But this is the guy who can wow the judges in every era and at every stage of the NBA.

In a few years, the mad scientist's coaching career evaluation will improve, and he has created a template for the future small ball era.

This is the current Warriors team. They don't have the inside strength of Little Overlord, and they don't have super organizational offensive masters like Nash who can support the running and bombing system by themselves, but the Warriors can still play the strongest firepower in the league, which proves that A top organizational point guard is not a necessary condition for running and bombing, but tactics are.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played the second game of the series against the Suns at home.

首节小霸王4分2板1助攻、纳什4分1板5助攻、奥尼尔7分2板1盖帽，且带领其他队友拿到10分，太阳队首节拿到25分，延续了上一场出色的阵地战攻防表现。

The opponent has O'Neal pressing the rhythm, and the Trail Blazers have no good way to increase the speed. After discussing with the coaching staff and the players, they decided not to rely on the transition of offense and defense, but to increase the rhythm in the positional battle.

With the experience of the previous game, the Blazers adapted well on the offensive end tonight. Liu Xiu scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, and his teammates scored 18 points.

26 to 25, the Trail Blazers led the Suns by 1 point in the first quarter!
In the second quarter, the situation was similar. The two teams played back and forth, and it was difficult to distinguish between top and bottom. The bully had 11 points and 4 assists, Nash had 6 points and 4 assists, O'Neal had 4 points and 4 rebounds, and Raja Bell scored a three-pointer. , Diaw made a tip-up, and the Suns scored 26 points in a single quarter.

开拓者队这边，刘秀8投4中、其中三分球1中1拿到9分，队友们拿到19分。

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Suns by 54 points 51 to 3!
Unlike the previous halftime shooting rate of less than 48.9%, the Trail Blazers shot 51% in the first half tonight. The defense is not considered to be defensive. There are not many rounds, and the Suns scored [-] points. But the offense has found the feeling of the league's top five offensive teams in the regular season!

With a 3-point lead, it can only be said that they played on par, and the Blazers' advantage is not obvious.

Now it's time to carry it and see which side's offensive efficiency comes down first.

In the third quarter, the Suns attacked Liu Xiu and Randolph frantically!

Liu Xiu made 3 of 0 shots in a single quarter, only relied on 1 technical foul free throw to score 1 point, plus 3 rebounds and 1 assist, the ball holding was reduced, and if he was attracted to a pinch, he would first give the ball to the most stable point of contact, trust his teammates , The 3 shots were all catch shots.

Randolph grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in a single quarter. Although he only scored 3 points, he got 2 assists, 7 points, 3 rebounds and [-] assists in a single quarter.

这一节得分的都是侧翼投手，雷-阿伦8分、芦苇4分、科沃尔4分、法外狂徒6分、布雷克2分3助攻……开拓者队第三节拿到28分！
On the other side, the Suns couldn't last this quarter, and the offense collapsed!
18投6中，其中三分球8中2，加上11中7的罚球，单节拿到21分。

82 to 72, the Trail Blazers widened the point difference to 10 points!
In fact, the Trail Blazers actually still had a chance to completely open the score. They seized the opportunity and carried out 4 shark-slashing tactics after the official timeout, but O'Neal made 8 of 6 free throws in a single quarter... Liu Xiu was puzzled, The shark-slaying tactic didn't work for the big shark when it came to the beast, and it really didn't work for the mad scientist playoffs.

As for the use of the shark-slashing tactic in Beasts... In Liu Xiu's view, the Pistons are not afraid of Howard whether they use the shark-slashing tactic or not.

They just used the shark slashing tactics, which can make Yao Ming play more easily. Their head coach, Philip Saunders, who seems not to be trifled with, decisively chose to protect Yao Ming.

But it doesn't matter if the shark-killing tactic is useless, it's just a try. The teammates performed well this time with the shot and established a clear lead!
At the end of the quarter, the fiery feeling of the teammates cooled down. They only scored 11 goals in 4 shots and scored 11 points. The performance was quite poor.

Liu Xiu stood up and made 7 of 4 shots, including 1 of 0 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, leading the team to 21 points in a single quarter, which was within the acceptable range !

The Suns made a rush in the final quarter, but failed to make it up. Although they scored 24 points in a single quarter and beat the Trail Blazers by 3 points in a single quarter, they failed to make a comeback.

刘秀拿到28分10板7助攻3抢断，兰多夫18分10板4助攻，雷-阿伦29分3板3助攻。

The three joined hands to lead the team and defeated the Suns 102 to 96 with a big score of 2 to 0!

纳什15投10中，拿到23分1板10助攻、小霸王33分7板、奥尼尔19分14板4助攻4盖帽……三大球星表现极佳，但就是差了一点点。

...

On the afternoon of the second day of G2, the Trail Blazers came to Phoenix.

During the two-day rest period, based on their experience in the previous two games, they made targeted preparations for the Suns' current offensive and defensive strategies.

At 27:8 p.m. on the [-]th, the third game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Suns started at the American West Arena.

In addition to making targeted preparations based on the Suns' style of play in the first two games, the Trail Blazers also made two-handed preparations. The other preparation was that the Suns abandoned O'Neal and fought to the death.

But although Terry Porter has a good coaching ability, there is no flexibility. The style of play has not changed much from the previous two games, and there are some detailed adjustments based on the actual situation of the first two games.

From this point of view, even Liu Xiu felt that the third player in the history of their team did not have the resilience that a head coach should have.

After the game started, the Trail Blazers quickly beat the Suns.

刘秀首节13分6助攻，兰多夫拿到6分、雷-阿伦拿到7分、夸梅-布朗2分、替补登场的法外狂徒拿到5分……单节33分！
And relying on an excellent flanking strategy, the Suns only scored 19 points in the first quarter!
The Suns G1 exposed the problem of too many passes and easy mistakes in slow-paced positional warfare. Although the Suns are team basketball, they play the ball quickly and shoot quickly.

Needless to say, the 8-man rotation of the Suns has a tacit understanding. Nash's pass is either a direct pass to guide the shot, or after the pass is passed, and then the ball is transferred, there will be a direct shot.

Playing positional warfare is not the case. It requires more passes, even some meaningless passes. This is not what the Suns are good at.

But after G1, the Trail Blazers mainly adjusted their offense, and the defense has not had time.

With two days of preparation time this time, the Trail Blazers are ready for everything.

The Suns made 4 pass turnovers in the first quarter tonight!
However, the three stars of the Suns are really strong. Terry Porter didn't have the guts to abandon O'Neal, but he knows how to play positional warfare-the team can't beat the star!

With the stars in hand, if you encounter problems, find the stars to solve them!
In the second quarter, the twin towers showed their strength, and the bully and the big shark led the team to a 28 tie with the Blazers!
In the third quarter, the Suns scored 27 to 24, but even so, the point difference was still as high as 11 points.

末节开拓者队没有再给太阳队追分的机会，刘秀末节9投5中，其中三分球1中1，外加3中2的罚球，拿到13分1板3助攻1盖帽，率队单节拿到30分！
The Suns' offense could not be completely suppressed. In the final quarter, Nash scored 6 points and 3 assists, and the Bully scored 8 points, but they only guaranteed the basic offense. The two scored 14 points, the others scored 11 points, and 25 points in a single quarter.

刘秀26投15中，其中三分球7中4，外加6中6的罚球，拿到41分6板14助攻3抢断1盖帽，率领开拓者队以115比99大胜太阳队，大比分3比0领先！

The Son of the Wind with 21 points and 12 assists, the bully with 28 points and 6 rebounds, the big shark with 19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The three of them watched the performance of the opposing players. Except for Liu Xiu, the three of them were confident. Any one of the three will perform better than the rest of the Trail Blazers.

兰多夫13分10板、法外狂徒14分4板1助攻1抢断2盖帽、夸梅-布朗9分5板1助攻2盖帽、雷-阿伦17分、芦苇10分、布雷克6分3助攻……开拓者队除了刘秀，其他人表现确实都不及太阳队三大球星。

But apart from the three of them, their team didn't have any other outstanding performances tonight.

You must know that they have been called the team with the best offense in recent years, but this time...

...

With a 3-0 lead, the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers was not careless. They called the players up at 10 o'clock the next morning for an hour-long meeting, repeatedly emphasizing the adjustments to be made next.

According to what Liu Xiu said, Huo Tu mentioned that "you can rest for a few days if you beat your opponent tomorrow" every once in a while. At first, he thought it was not good to say this, but he saw the irritability of the early morning meeting after hearing this. Feeling much less, he chose to say it a few times.

Although most of the team's coaches were former professional players and could understand the players in many things, Liu Xiu could still feel that they were different from the players after sitting in the coaching position for a long time.

For example, I like to shout slogans and say some scene words.

But at this time, they need more practical benefits-rest time.

It's better to say it directly, he has long understood that his teammates are not a group of people with high IQ, and if they don't say that they really only complain about being tired in private.

At the end of the team meeting, the tactical adjustments for tomorrow's game were discussed. There was no team training in the afternoon and the players were allowed to rest.

Nothing happened overnight, on the 29th, the fourth match day of the first round of the Trail Blazers arrived.

This morning's preparations, Liu Xiu was a little absent-minded. After the preparation training, she didn't continue to practice, but went to the chess and card room to play small marbles.

Morris Cheeks guessed that this might happen, and only arranged basic tactical running training this morning.

G3's tactical adjustments have been very successful, and there is no better adjustment now. They are the winners, and the current "disadvantage" is that they have to deal with the opponent's more active adjustments.

But every team wants to be on the 'underdog' side.

At noon, the Trail Blazers players gathered in the visiting team lounge, and the boss and coaching staff also came.

With the deepening of the first round, the regular season individual awards have been voted and announced one after another. The day before yesterday was the regular season MVP vote, and the awards will be announced at noon today.

Stern thanked the sky, thanked the ground, and thanked the sun for shining on the earth... After that, he read the name of the MVP winner, and all the members of the Trail Blazers had a carnival!

Randolph and the extrajudicial lunatic rushed out of the waiting room excitedly and came to the chess and card room, intending to tell the Rose Bay reporter the good news.

However, the warden had already heard the carnival of his teammates. When the two came to the door of the chess and card room, they heard the warden singing 'Gasbille' and dancing with McKuel at the top of their voices...

The other teammates also followed the two to the door. The old teammates were okay, and they saw it occasionally before.

But the new teammate...

No!This is not our warden!
Isn't our warden the legendary Portland singer?
