MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 47 Stop the iron, give the ball to Malone! (10,000 today

   Chapter 47 47. Stop hitting the iron, give the ball to Malone! (Ten thousand words today, ask for tickets~)

   Liu Xiu immediately wanted to understand why the other party did not double-team.

  Spantinha is similar to Medvedenko. They are both traditional European centers. They know everything and are a good containment point.

Randolph, the Mavericks played in the playoffs last year, and the Mavericks almost overturned with a 3-0 lead. If it weren't for the Blazers, Randolph's performance in the playoffs last season would have been blown to the power forward position. O'Neal.

   Ruben Patterson, a very good high-post shooter; Travis Outlaw, an extremely athletic, sharp-smelling forward.

   If Liu Xiu can attract a pinch in the low post, the Blazers may be able to smooth the offense.

  This, the Lakers have already learned, so the Lakers chose to use attrition tactics on him.

  His size and spirit make him look like a rookie who is physically overwhelmed... Most rookies don't do well in the distribution of physical strength.

   This guess, he himself is a bit incredible, he is just a rookie, why would the other party target him for this?

  Because it was incredible, Liu Xiu didn't expect this possibility at first.

   But after he wanted to understand, he was not surprised.

   Championship teams are always different.

The Lakers have always done a great job in many details, stifling a lot of possibilities for the opponent... For the opponent's rookie substitute can make such targeted adjustments, Liu Xiu thinks, this may be the reason why the Lakers can be in the century. One of the reasons for the first three consecutive championships!

   These thoughts flashed through Liu Xiu's mind. He felt that the Lakers were really good, but...

  Who made the Lakers have Kobe?

   If another opponent did this, Liu Xiubei took several rounds to react, and his game would collapse.

   However, he is not because of the decline in physical strength and the opponent's defensive strategy is like this, but because Fisher has provided a wave of irritable 99 healing values...

   Keep fighting back!

  Copy Kobe's "Physical Pentium", showing a powerful effect!

   As Liu Xiu analyzed, the Lakers really want to consume his physical strength.

Fisher bears a heavy responsibility and is very confident. Thinking of his 185 cm and 91 kg weight, he has quite a good strength under the same body size, plus very good low-post defensive skills, even if Liu Xiu looks like a low-post singles master, Fisher. Er also felt that he could at least have a huge drain on Liu Xiu after a few rounds.

but…

   Liu Xiu ate again, turned around and took a step to avoid Ma Long's defense, and hit a backhand layup!

If Malone's defense was quicker this time, he could have limited Liu Xiu's turn, but Malone chose to take care of Randolph's catch-and-shoot first, and only contracted when Liu Xiu turned around and did not pass to Randolph's perspective. , For Liu Xiu, whose back-playing skills have reached an excellent level, plus Randolph's back-playing talent bonus and layup ability has been raised to 92, it is equivalent to ineffective defense!

   Not only that, Fisher failed to stop Liu Xiu and turned around and pulled Liu Xiu. The referee's whistle came a little later, but it still sounded.

  Liu Xiu's goal is effective and he will be fined!

   With Liu Xiujia's penalty hit, 64 to 62, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers by 2 points, and the Zen master called a timeout!

   Both teams regarded this game as a very important game - a matter of face.

  The current situation, people on both sides did not expect.

The Blazers can overtake the score, but it doesn't matter. The game is like this. If one side throws three points and scores three or four in a row, the situation of the game with a big difference can be reversed. Kobe has done this, only 2 Point difference, the Trail Blazers overtake the score is not surprising.

   But Liu Xiu played a wave of 9 to 5 alone, which surprised the Blazers!

  The Lakers were caught off guard. They thought that the tactical arrangement of consumption against Liu Xiu had already paid attention to this rookie unexpectedly.

   As a result, Liu Xiu was able to score 4 consecutive rounds in the face of Fisher!

Payton has proved that it is not a good choice to beat Fisher by skill. It is feasible to eat Fisher raw by strength, but what the entire league can do, only Andry Miller last season...a rookie actually did it ! And it is continuous strong eating!

  …

  At first, when Liu Xiugang was on the court, although the fans were very excited, it had nothing to do with basketball, just because Liu Xiu hugged O'Neal, the fans at the scene looked good.

The feeling of    to the Lakers players is just a burly man with a strong physique.

   But the 9 minutes or so that Liu Xiu played together made the people present realize that this rookie can play.

   looks unremarkable, and his physical fitness is not bright... The main reason is that he has no running and jumping ability, and his technique is very simple.

  But when people are on the field, they can play a very strong role!

  The fans of the home team at the scene were very interested in their rookie at this moment after Liu Xiu's back fight.

   came back from the suspension. On the Blazers side, Liu Xiu continued to play, and the combination of Wesley Person, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Dale Davis was replaced.

   When he first came on the court and saw the opponent's rotation, Liu Xiu saw the task completion prompt floating by in front of him. He had the visual feeling of "floating", but he actually knew the content of the completion at once.

   "My last name is Liu: let Kobe Bryant remember your name!

   Goal 1: Counting from the time the host is on the court in the third quarter, when the host and Kobe Bryant are on the court at the same time, the host scores at least half of Kobe Bryant's score. (Host 9 points, Kobe Bryant 5 points, completed.)

   Goal 2: Stop Kobe Bryant's intention to widen the point difference. (Completed, go ahead by 2 points.)

  Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 1000 healing value. "

   The difficulty of the task is not particularly high, and the rewards are not particularly special. It is completed. Liu Xiu is still a little surprised. The main surprise is that the other party actually replaced Kobe at this time!

  Master Zen replaced Kobe, and O'Neal was not replaced. A few years ago, he just gave up the rhythm of the game.

   But now, the OK combination is not there, and the Lakers are still not to be underestimated!

  The Zen master sent a combination of Payton, Kareem Rush, Devin George, Malone, and Horace Grant to play.

   Looking at Payton who was waiting to serve, Liu Xiu was a little excited.

  Although his strength is still good and he knows a lot about it, he is always very excited to play against those old and famous superstars.

   It’s a pity that Liu Xiu can’t compete with Kobe Bryant, but with Payton, you can be on top!

   At this time, the system prompt comes again!

   "Task: My surname is Liu advanced target trigger."

   "My surname is Liu:

  Advanced goal: The host needs to help the Blazers win this game.

  Advanced Reward: Double the base reward. "

'wipe! I'm so lucky, if the old fish next door didn't foul me just now, and I didn't make a penalty, it would be a big loss...'

   Liu Xiu didn't think about losing now, just thinking about how to win.

   His strong fighting spirit easily infected his teammates.

   Blazers, no matter how they are built off the court, as long as they are on the court, everyone wants to win.

  The environment of their team is like this, if you perform well on the court and can help the team win, you will get more opportunities.

The opponent must not have given up, otherwise Payton and Malone would not have been replaced, watching Payton receive the serve and advance...' Let the veterans of Payton and Malone help Kobe and O'Neal reduce consumption and let them carry the ball Some scorching stages? ’

   Liu Xiu felt that the Zen master was still a bit ruthless in his work, so he squeezed two unfamiliar veteran superstars.

   However, although Payton is 35 years old and Malone is 40 years old, the pressure they bring to their opponents is still huge.

  The Lakers attacked, and Payton advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kareem Rush.

   Malone was very good at containing the inside defense in the low post area. Payton backed up to Liu Xiu in the high post and received a back pass for a post-up single.

  Backs, rolls, jumpers...Hit!

   Payton gave Liu Xiu a positive response when he came up!

   "Gary Payton, 35 years old, PG, 193 cm, 82 kg, ability rating 87..."

   The score is tied at 64!

   Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu received the serve, and Payton pressed the audience!

   "Oh, rookie, you look so tender, it's not just female stars who like you, right? I heard that there are many men in Portland who like men?"

   "Thank you for your reminder, old man, I will avoid them, but why are you so clear, old man? Oh, sorry, I accidentally poked your wound."

   Peyton is in a hurry. Today, he is facing a rookie. He wants to show his veteran style and do some trash talk about literary and artistic criminals, but the other party is no worse than him in this respect! And bold, can only say that he is a rookie who dares to hug O'Neal?

   Payton did not continue to spray trash, and chose a more oppressive defensive move.

Liu Xiu was not fooled by Peyton's extremely oppressive defense. Payton's strength was unexpectedly large, not like he could have more than 80 kilograms, but Liu Xiu was able to hold it, and Liu Xiu was not in a hurry to advance quickly. It is to protect the ball steadily and move towards the front court.

  The press was ineffective. When Payton retreated to the three-point line, he took a step back and directed his teammates' defense.

   Obviously, very obviously, when Payton, who once won the best defensive player, was on the court, the Lakers team defensive positioning, movement, etc., became better!

   But... as the so-called one-strength break-a-thousand meeting, when Fisher couldn't prevent Liu Xiu's back fight, facing Payton, Liu Xiu's multiple-choice questions became very simple.

   Keep fighting back!

  Liu Xiu passed the ball to Travis Outlaw, caught the ball in the low post, and continued to play hard with his back... Turned around and hit the shot!

   can still come!

   Peyton thought that he was here to harvest the fruit of the abuse created by Fisher, but he was even worse than Fisher!

   Do this with your back. The farther you are away from the basket, the more important your height is, and the closer you are to the basket, the more important your strength is.

   Peyton Kong has the defensive ability of a skillful back play, but the low post back play with strong defense is really ineffective.

   is mainly unexpected! Payton himself felt that it was enough to beat Fisher for four consecutive rounds.

There was nothing wrong with the rotation of the Lakers tonight. The analysis, prediction and adjustment were also well done. The stars were strong and the coaching ability was excellent, but Liu Xiu, an unimportant point, was to beat them. Don't don't.

   The Lakers always thought 'this is the best that rookie can do', and then, the situation became like this...

   Immediately afterwards, Payton singled to Malone, who failed to make a mid-range shot.

Liu Xiu continued to play with his back and finally succeeded in attracting a pinch attack. Wesley Persson received the ball in a big gap. Wesley Persson did not score in the first half. ! 69 to 64, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 5 points!

   At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers wanted to play a quick offense in order to get another offensive opportunity to try to tie the score at the end of the third quarter.

  Dare to do this because the Lakers have confidence in their own strength, but they did not do it.

Dale Davis completes the steal in the middle, the Blazers press the rhythm, Liu Xiu hits the back with 9 seconds left, and points the ball to Wesley Person, who is cutting in the middle, and Wesley Person points. The bottom line of the ball, Rasheed Wallace hit the ball!

   With Kareem Rush missing a three-pointer from the sideline, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers 71-64 and entered the inter-quarter break with 7 points!

   Liu Xiu scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first half!

   In less than 13 minutes, Liu Xiu scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Maurice Cheeks felt rich.

  Big heart, no stage fright in big scenes.

   After clarifying his advantages, he decisively seized the advantages and pursued them.

  Resolutely return to the role of team attack comber when encountering a flanking attack.

   You can still use your own way to make those rebellious teammates obey... Although it is only temporary, but after the first time, are you afraid that there will be no second time?

  The last quarter, although leading by 7 points, but looking at the superstars on the opposite side, Maurice Cheeks did not feel relieved at all.

but…

   "Jess, how are you, can you continue to fight?"

   As the main attack point and attack initiation point of the past half of the game, Liu Xiu's style of play, just by looking at it, shows that the consumption is not small, and the distribution of physical strength is obviously not good.

  Liu Xiu nodded like a chicken, if Maurice Cheeks didn't let him continue, he would definitely take the initiative to fight for it.

   As for whether it will cause the unhappiness of several teammates at the point guard position...

   "Healing value +13, from Derek Anderson."

   "Healing value +21, from Jeff McGinnis."

   "Healing value +42, from Damon Stoudemire."

  …

   came back from a break between quarters, and both teams made personnel rotations.

  The Lakers have re-dispatched the starting combination of Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, and O'Neal!

  The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace. Except for Liu Xiu, the other four were also starters.

   Kobe smiled when he saw Liu Xiu being replaced, and O'Neal laughed too, very ferocious.

   Liu Xiu has a feeling of 'finally waiting for this moment'.

   I definitely didn’t think too much at the beginning, it was just a preseason game with the F4 Lakers, and I didn’t expect to hit this.

   But it really hits the mark.

   After Kobe was replaced in the third quarter, Liu Xiu played more aggressively, in order to take the lead in the final quarter, otherwise it would be impossible to play.

  7 point lead…

   After the final game started, the OK combination started to exert its strength!

Payton and Malone are very numerous. They are ready to hug their thighs when they come. They need to do more things. For example, when their teammates are injured and their teammates are not in good condition, they will stand up, but they will rely on them. Get ready for a supporting role.

Payton and Malone fully cooperated with OK combination offense and defense, plus Rick Fox's core support... With Kobe hitting Ruben Patterson's three-pointer on the sideline, the Lakers started the fourth quarter with a wave 11 to 5, the score was chased by the Lakers to 75 to 76!

  The Trail Blazers lead with only 1 point left!

   In fact, during this period of time, the Blazers' tactics were played out. Kobe returned to the defense in the second half of the second quarter at the end of the quarter to defend against Liu Xiu.

   Kobe's defense against Liu Xiu and the Blazers' team attacking, it's quite difficult, but it's better than Liu Xiu's constant back fights against Payton and Fisher.

   But during this time, Malone and O'Neal blocked the entire mid-range and short-range! If it weren't for Randolph's offensive rebound 2+1, and Rasheed Wallace's cut-in catch to meet the defense's strong hit, the score would have been overtaken now.

   After Kobe scored, Liu Xiu immediately called a few teammates and said a few words. Maurice Cheeks was about to call a timeout, but hesitated before calling it.

   When the Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu first hoisted the ball to Randolph who was leaning against Shaquille O'Neal in the low post, and then ran in along the middle lane under the pursuit of Kobe Bryant.

   There are players who cut in the middle and can always attract defensive attention, but Randolph did not pass it to Liu Xiu, but to Travis Outlaw behind Liu Xiu and Kobe!

Travis Outlaw received the ball for a setter, and Liu Xiu ran around the baseline from the right side of the three-second zone, attracting the pincer attack of Malone who did not expand, but the direction of Travis Outlaw's pass was Right sideline!

  Rashid Wallace catches the ball and makes a three-pointer...Hit! 79 to 75, the difference is 4 points!

   The power forward's three-pointer, except for the king, is always not so stable, but Liu Xiu made the right bet this time!

The Lakers thought that Liu Xiu was around Randolph's pile for close-range shots. Malone took it back. Rasheed Wallace had an absolute big gap. !

   This ball, in addition to coming up with an idea, dribbling the ball past half court and slipping to the basket, the rest has nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

   But Rasheed Wallace smiled excitedly at Liu Xiu after scoring the goal... so scared that Liu Xiu almost grabbed the referee's whistle and blew him twice.

   When the Lakers attacked, the Lakers scored the 6th goal in a row…

  O'Neal caught the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and lifted it up and threw it back. Malone caught the ball and made a layup.

  Liu Xiu looked at Rasheed Wallace and had a real headache - he couldn't care about the offense but not the defense.

   Liu Xiu discovered that this teammate, who is solely responsible for offense or defense alone, is at the top level, but doing both together seems to be not only a matter of physical strength, but also the brain can't keep up with the switching of styles of play!

   There are thousands of strange athletes in this world, and Tianzun doesn’t seem to be a particularly strange one.

   After Malone scored, Liu Xiu called his teammates together and said a few words.

Maurice Cheeks wanted to call a timeout again but stopped again. He called a timeout to make a more detailed tactical arrangement of Liu Xiu's long-range main attacking style, and at the same time think of a solution. The problem of defense, the problem of Rasheed Wallace, Liu Xiugang has figured out. As a coach, he has long understood it, and his old teammates have long been familiar with it.

When Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, Maurice Cheeks saw a scene that surprised him - Rasheed Wallace did not move to serve as a possible support point, but went directly to the third Open up space outside the branch!

  This is exactly what Maurice Cheeks wants to do!

   Malone still did not follow Rasheed Wallace to expand, but let Rick Fox expand on defense.

   After Liu Xiu passed the ball to Randolph, there was no cut in the middle. According to the actual position movement on the field, he ran to the right sideline and went to pick and roll without the ball for Rasheed Wallace!

Rasheed Wallace came to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone by means of a pick-and-roll, and received a setter from Travis Outlaw, who received a pass from Randolph at the free throw line, to the flank, two points long. shot...

   Kobe switched the defense in place, but Rasheed Wallace received the ball, and Kobe was in place. There was no way to face Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shot.

  Rashid-Wallace now has a good hand, two points long and then hits!

   On the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, Master Zen saw this scene, and the index fingers of both hands kept touching, he knew that a troublesome situation was coming!

Liu Xiu previously scored 5 goals in a row and scored 11 points. Now Rasheed Wallace scored 5 points in a row with a long-distance shot, which means that the Blazers have two threats. People correspond to the two major defense points of the Lakers!

   Kobe defends Liu Xiu, Rasheed Wallace pulls to the perimeter and Malone defends. We can't let O'Neal, who is now overweight, defend a flexible center's mid-to-long-distance running and catching play...

  When Malone contracted twice in a row, leading to two consecutive long-range goals from Rasheed Wallace, Liu Xiu could really sort out the team's offense!

Although Liu Xiu didn't think so much, the success rate of back play at the beginning, and the moment of inspiration, let Rasheed Wallace be a long-distance catcher or even a spot-up pitcher, these have become Liu Xiu's An important factor in sorting out the team's offense at the critical moment of the fourth quarter!

Ruben Patterson's high-position shot, Randolph's secondary attack, Travis Outlaw's rushing to the frame, Rasheed Wallace's long-range shot from the sideline... This lineup can be dispatched, naturally There are tactics about this lineup, but it is not easy to play against the Lakers. Now, it is played!

The most important thing is that Liu Xiu asked Rasheed Wallace not to think about more things on the offensive end, but was only responsible for shooting, and let Rasheed Wallace focus on the defensive end, which is to let Rasheed Wallace focus on the defensive end. The Warriors entered the Pistons-era playstyle...focus on rim protection!

   Not only did Rasheed Wallace focus on protecting the frame, but Randolph, Ruben Patterson, and Liu Xiu also all shrunk to the mid-to-close range, and they attacked as long as someone entered the mid-to-close range.

   Payton on the flank can throw three-pointers at will. Malone leaves the mid-range and lets Ruben Patterson expand... Travis Outlaw, a rookie, defends Kobe Bryant alone! If Malone goes to pick-and-roll for Kobe, let Ruben Patterson switch defenses. If Malone catches the ball and hits a single, he will attack when he rushes in. If he doesn't rush in, Ruben Patterson will be thumped when he gets thumped...and he really gets thumped. , Ruben Patterson was blown up by Malone's long-distance singles, and Malone scored two goals in a row.

but!

   Ma Long's age... 40 years old is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

In fact, last season, Malone's assist rate was close to 50%. Last season, he averaged 7.3 goals per game, 3.5 goals were received and 1.1 goals were secondary offenses, and the average singles score per game was less than 3 balls!

  Sometimes, when there are more stars, it is not necessarily a good thing. Some things seem to be good, but the actual effect may not be so good.

Like now, O'Neal is full of big men, and his chances of scoring inside are extremely poor. In previous years, when Kobe needed a break in singles, O'Neal would work hard even if there were a lot of people around him. Now he is more willing to hand over the ball. Kobe and Malone can do it. Take turns.

   But in these few rounds, Malone scored two goals, and Kobe was only 1 of 3!

   If Malone hadn't scored in both singles, the Trail Blazers, who scored 7 points during this period, would have pulled the score away!

   went to the Lakers offense again. Kobe singled Travis Outlaw, but he couldn't get in and chose to take a step back shot.

Travis Outlaw knew for a long time that Kobe wouldn’t rush and press on. If Kobe made a foul at this time, he would definitely be able to do it, but Kobe didn’t choose the kind of shooting method that was not difficult. He jumped back and leaned back long. A two-point shot... It was too difficult, and Travis Outlaw's bounce made Kobe feel a little outrageous. Kobe shot hard this time!

  Randolph and Rasheed Wallace struggled to get into position, and Liu Xiu picked up the rebound in the hand-to-hand fight between a group of big men.

Looking back, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to play the ball. There is no tactical purpose in this ball. It was Randolph who suddenly turned with his back against O'Neal on the left side of the three-second zone. Liu Xiu reacted sharply and seized the opportunity to pass to the basket. Dove caught the ball and threw it in, and caused a foul by the O'Neal thug who turned and blocked!

  88 to 81, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 7 points, and Randolph still has an extra penalty!

Randolph made a penalty, and Liu Xiu retreated directly to the backcourt, glanced at the sidelines, found a place for a group of girls, looked at the opponent wearing his own team's players' jerseys, leaned forward decisively, and heard the opponent's screams. Said a few words in...

  Randolph added a penalty and made a steady hit, 89 to 81, with a score difference of 8 points!

  To the Lakers offense, Bryant is in a frenzy now, and he feels like he's going to get a feel for the iron soon, and he thinks he can do it with the next shot.

   Just as Rick Fox passed the ball to Kobe and Kobe took a singles stance, there were shouts from the sidelines...

   "Give the ball to Malone! We're going to watch Malone singles!"

   "Don't vote! You can't vote!"

   "Oh, damn, we're 10 points behind! Give the ball to Malone!"

   "Pass to O'Neal! O'Neal is the MVP!"

   The shouts of this group of people spread quickly. Some Lakers fans really think so, but most of them are fans of the home team, all to influence Kobe.

   Kobe was so cold that he didn't pass it on! His mentality has also been affected. He just thought about how to rely on skills and fakes to get a shot, but it once again turned into a strong shot... Missing two long points!

  O'Neal didn't make a tip-up, and Rasheed Wallace protected the second rebound.

  Liu Xiu received the ball and felt that the female fans were powerful! Only the first sentence is taught by him, and the latter are all free play by female fans!
