MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 914 914. The Shock Begins!

  Chapter 914 914. The shock begins!

   After returning from the inter-section break, Liu Xiu took a break of more than 3 minutes to play as usual.

  The two teams continued to attack aggressively, and the Nuggets continued to speed up, guiding the Trail Blazers to run and play.

  The Trail Blazers insisted on the inside line to ensure one offense and one defense, and the defensive end tried their best to suppress the position and make good use of the frame protection ability of Kwame Brown and McDyess.

In the second quarter, the Blazers' offensive firepower dropped a lot. They only scored 28 points in a single quarter. It is definitely not enough to score only this score against the Nuggets when they feel good... The Nuggets are second Get 35 points in a single quarter!

   After halftime, the Nuggets overtook the Trail Blazers by 4 points 72 to 68!

  Liu Xiu felt the gap in experience.

The Nuggets have always played track and field style of play, and this year there has been a huge improvement because Iverson is more adaptable to the style of play, and Nene last season was not as good as Kenyon Martin, even if he has big knees After the injury, Kenyon Martin also unearthed a tactical engine suitable for track and field play like Anthony Carter, and the continuity is very strong.

   But their Trail Blazers have just officially decided to follow the trend to play offense, and the continuity is obviously not as good as the more experienced Nuggets.

   After halftime, Liu Xiu discovered something.

  In his impression, the media and fans in the original time and space commented on the Nuggets' double guns, saying that this is a failed combination, because there is almost no progress in the playoffs.

   But it was actually called waiting, and he found that it was not the case.

   The Nuggets have two guns, which is really the best duo for George Karl's track and field style of play. If they can't pass the first round, it's not the two players' problem, but George Karl's problem.

  As for the Nuggets in the 2008-09 season being able to reach the Western Conference Finals, Liu Xiu felt that it was not because George Karl was so good at coaching, but because Billups was too good.

  George Karl was still very good in the iron-blooded era and could reach the finals, but Liu Xiu left three impressions in the offensive era-

  In the 1993-94 season, he led the Sonics to 63 wins and ranked first in the league. He was blacked out by the Nuggets in the first round.

  In the 1994-95 season, he led the Sonics to 57 wins and ranked fourth in the Western Conference. In the first round, they were beaten by the Lakers with 48 wins, or 3-1.

  In the 12-13 season, he led the Nuggets to 57 wins and ranked third in the West. In the first round, he was beaten by the 47-win Warriors, and he couldn't afford to lose. He became angry and instigated Iguodala to step up Curry, but was rejected.

   To put it simply, outside of the iron-blooded era, George Karl is a head coach who is sad for the first round no matter how good the lineup is.

  However, outside of the iron-blooded era, George Karl's coaching ability in the playoffs is not good, and the regular season is terrible!

   was suppressed again!

  Mine bandits with double guns fully demonstrate the unreasonable style of play!

  …

  Back from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Louis Williams, outlaws, Randolph, and McDyess.

   On the other side, the Nuggets sent a combination of Iverson, JR-Smith, Linas Kleiza, Edondo Najera, and Kenyon Martin.

  After the start of the third quarter, facing the defense of JR-Smith, Liu Xiu started to break through to attract pincers and then divide the ball. He believed in the long-range shots of his teammates.

  When he gets tired of scoring all the time or in the pick-and-roll and needs to take a break, let Louis Williams play singles.

   Iverson's style of play on the Nuggets side is the same as that of Liu Xiu.

  But it's not Iverson learning from Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu is directly copying the Nuggets' rotation.

   Other teammate Liu Xiu is not worried, but worried about whether the high school students on their team can outperform the high school students on the opposite side.

  Louis Williams did not disappoint him. He scored 5 points and 1 assist on 2 of 4 shots in the half quarter. JR-Smith scored 6 points in the half quarter.

Liu Xiu and Iverson's sudden point confrontation also played equally well. Iverson's breakthrough was better, but Liu Xiu had a pick-and-roll offense and a much better three-pointer than Iverson, so he also played a bit. Evenly matched, the Trail Blazers scored 13 to 12 in the half quarter.

   When it came to the official timeout, the Nuggets continued to maintain their lead 84 to 81.

Back from the official timeout, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Millsap, and Kwame Brown; the Nuggets sent Anthony Carter, Iverson, Linus Clay Zha, Anthony, Kenyon - Martin combination.

   At this time, Liu Xiu could no longer imitate Iverson's style of play. He didn't have an offensive engine like Anthony Carter next to him, so he had to fight!

  After a few rounds, the two teams played back and forth. The Trail Blazers and the Nuggets played a wave of 8-9, and the score came to 89-93. The Trail Blazers trailed the Nuggets by 4 points.

  The point difference is not too big, but Liu Xiu feels very bad!

Now they have sent the team with the best offensive lineup tonight, and they just played back and forth with the Nuggets. When their offensive climax is over and they continue to attack, it is very likely that it is not the Nuggets opponent.

   The point difference seems to be only hovering between three and four points, but the Nuggets' average net difference per game is only 4 points.

   The Nuggets relied on their unstoppable offense to fight attrition and kill opponents one by one.

   It was time for the Trail Blazers to attack again, and Liu Xiu decided to give it another shot, and the command 'Kobe time' was issued.

  Why do you say again? Because he also won in the first two quarters, but the opponent's attack was severe, he missed a shot once, and once his teammates had a chance to directly catch the ball and dunk, he passed it.

   Advance to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu is stuck by Iverson.

Many people only remember Iverson's gambled steals, but they ignore that although Iverson's small body can't prevent breakthroughs, he is very powerful when he sticks to the defense and interferes with the opponent's take-off and strength, especially in the years at his peak. The rush even allowed him to get up to 2.75% of the total score of the best defensive player, ranking first in the best defensive player before Bowen, who got the second defense, and Kobe, who got the first defense that year. 6.

  Now Iverson only sticks to Liu Xiu's shooting power, regardless of whether Liu Xiu breaks through or not, and he is doing quite well.

  Liu Xiu didn't rush in, but chose a three-pointer with a fake breakthrough and a three-pointer...Unfortunately, he didn't make it.

   But Millsap relied on Hill and Kwame Brown's rushing threat to grab an offensive rebound!

  Hill steps back after landing and throws the ball towards the hoop...not a shot!

  The ball flew to the right side of the basket, and was pushed into the basket by a white hand!

   Liu Xiu went straight to the basket with an alley-oop dunk and scored two points!

  This ball lifts the gas!

   When the Nuggets attacked, the Trail Blazers defended very fiercely. Anthony Carter didn't find a good time to play the ball, and was forced to stop the ball by Ray Allen.

   Iverson pulled out to respond, Anthony Carter found a savior, and hurriedly played the ball. Liu Xiu, wearing the 'answer wristband', seized the opportunity, fought again, and rushed to grab it!

  Explosive speed +5, explosive acceleration temporarily increased to 93, Liu Xiu quickly started and pounced on him, stabbing Anthony Carter's pass before the responding Iverson!
