Healing Basketball Chapter 128

Chapter 128 128. Back to back triple pair!

Compared with Kidd's thoughtful thoughts, Liu Xiu focused on how to deal with the next game.

Although he temporarily obtained the talent of 'Ghost Talent', compared with Kidd, the strength gap is still too big.

The Nets do not have Kidd, and they are the favorite team to compete for Okafor in place.

Without him, the Blazers would lose 5 games in strength?

He has tried his best to reach the current level.

The two players have different ideas, but the coaches of the two teams have the same idea - the opposite point guard is as stable as an old dog!

There is a gap in strength between the opposing point guard and his own point guard.

But on the one hand, the strength is strong, and the teammates are not so strong, while the strength is much weaker, but the teammates are much stronger than the opponent, and they play very hard... Then the score is tight for three quarters!

Both head coaches have big heads.

After letting the players relax for a minute, the coaches of the two teams began to make tactical arrangements.

For the Nets, Kidd had a hint of anticipation... Then he listened to the tactical arrangement with no expression, and began to think about the countermeasures in the final quarter.

Byron Scott made lineup adjustments, made defensive tactical adjustments...and nothing else! The adjustment on the offensive end just explained the tactics that this lineup should play! That is, what tactics this lineup is going to play in the playbook, Byron Scott just explained it once.

Come back from a break between festivals.

The Blazers sent a combination of Momoko, Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Dale Davis.

The Nets sent a combination of Kidd, Kittles, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Aaron Williams.

Tianzun and Ruben Patterson, the two main players, were not replaced at the first time, and the physical condition was not very optimistic.

However, the physical condition of the Nets is not much better. Kidd only rested for 3 minutes in the first three quarters tonight, Richard Jefferson only rested for two minutes, and Kenyon Martin only rested for 5 minutes. .

The final quarter of the game began, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

Liu Xiu advanced to the front court and passed the ball to Momo.

The tacit understanding gradually developed, Liu Xiu gave the ball to Momo, and Momo knew that his first choice was to put the ball in the basket!

The Nets have done a very good job of defensive cooperation, but in the final quarter, the Blazers stopped playing teamwork, and the Momoko played singles on the outside!

When the front team is full of physical strength, the Nets' team defense can be extended further outside.

Kenyon Martin's 86 first-class comprehensive defense, coupled with 85 speed, 88 strength, and 94 bounce, is a bit short in height and has poor rim protection ability. Players who are taller than him are often hammered in single defense, but Only relying on supplementary defense and assisting defense can raise the overall defense to a first-class level, which is enough to prove that he is really powerful in assisting defense and supplementary defense.

This time, the Nets' defense didn't expand so far, and Momo, who was all focused on how to score better in the rotation stage, keenly discovered this and made use of it decisively!

Singles breakthrough, horizontal pull changed to fake move, Corey Kittles defended very hard, but he still lost his position. Momoko seized the gap and made a quick shot...

Three-pointer!

80 to 77, the Blazers scored a goal, which means that the Nets had no chance to counterattack and fell into a positional battle.

Compared to the Trail Blazers' positional warfare tactics and changes, the Nets' positional warfare offense is very monotonous.

The key is that the coaching staff's offensive tactics haven't changed at all... The finals couldn't force Byron Scott's on-the-spot changes. Kidd had to figure out a way by himself. He pinned his hopes on the best outside shooting tonight. Player - On Kittles.

But Liu Xiu stuck to Kittles for the first time when Kittles arrived in the frontcourt, entangled with strength advantages, interfered and confronted.

In the positional battle, an available spot was finally blocked, and Kidd had to come by himself, but at this time there was something painful... Is it necessary to play a pick-and-roll?

Definitely not necessary.

But there is no sense of ritual in the positional warfare attack without the pick-and-roll...

Kidd finally chose not to have a sense of ritual, but to be strong!

Momonga couldn't stop Kidd, Kidd broke into the inside line and made a quick shot before the defense came... Missed!

How can a player with a layup rating of only 85 be injured?

So far this season, Kidd's layup percentage is 47.6%!

The Flying Squirrel has shot 48.9 percent from the rim this season.

Just change a point guard. The Nets' 34-year-old backup point guard Robert Parker, who is only 188 cm tall, has shot 52.8% from the layup so far this season.

Dale Davis, who came back from supplementary defense, blocked Kidd, Randolph blocked Kenyon Martin who was rushing... Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked... Kidd rushed to hug Liu Xiu who was counterattacking.

Through a tactical foul, Kidd successfully prevented Liu Xiu from launching a counterattack.

fell into a positional battle, Momomoko passed the ball this time in a single, and the Nets attacked.

The Nets have done a good job of defending and receiving the ball, but the pinch attack that expands to the high position will always affect their passing and receiving coordination. Liu Xiu found an opportunity to catch the ball... They didn't make a mid-range jumper.

Randolph's rush was unsuccessful, and Aaron Williams defended the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Kidd.

Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson flew on both wings, and Kittles followed up to find a counter-attack formation to find a shot opportunity, but the referee blew the whistle again!

This time it's Liu Xiu's turn to hug Kidd!

Kidd reluctantly threw the ball to the referee - as expected of a rookie I admire, he learned so fast!

The Nets fell into a positional battle again and played very hard.

Richard Jefferson made a long two-pointer, 79 to 80, and the Nets grabbed the score.

This ball, that is, Kidd has a strong ability to predict, and Richard Jefferson has a good hand.

Nets players can only rely on on-the-spot reactions.

As for the Trail Blazers, the lead has been reduced to 1 point, and there is no rush. As expected, there is no Tianzun or Ruben Patterson. The defense can do this well, and I will slowly get through it. !

This time, the two teams did not play the explosive performance of opening the point difference and chasing points in the first three quarters. After 6 minutes and 37 seconds, the score was 87 to 85. The Trail Blazers led by 2 points and entered the official timeout!

The Trail Blazers only had a two-point lead in the first half of the fourth quarter.

If you look at the situation in the second and third quarters, the Nets have a chance.

However, after entering the official timeout, the Nets bench once again had a heated brawl.

Teammates have gotten used to it. After the first Finals, Kidd often quarrelled with Byron Scott.

After last season's finals, Kidd's disdain for Byron Scott has been known to the entire team.

In the current situation, Kidd is angry at Byron Scott, and his teammates feel that it is normal.

Don't look at being behind by only two points, which is much smaller than the point difference between the second and third quarters when they entered the official timeout.

but! After 6 and a half minutes of play, the Blazers not only did not replace Tianzun, but in the 4th minute, even Randolph was replaced to rest.

Momonga 5 points, Matt Carroll 3 points, Liu Xiu 2 points... Under the premise that the two teams blocked the opponent's counterattack, the Blazers actually played an advantage with these three players!

During this period, the Nets actually only scored 8 points. The biggest problem is that Byron Scott's on-the-spot adjustment of offensive tactics was surprisingly poor. The Nets can get these 8 points, and the teammates feel that thanks to the basic Germany.

Of course, Kidd and Byron Scott quarreled, not every time it was Byron Scott's problem, and now Kidd has arrived as long as there is anything unsatisfactory on the court. The point of Kurt's quarrel... This is foreign language, let's not mention it for the time being.

On the other side, on the Blazers bench, Maurice Cheeks spit and adjusted wildly, Liu Xiu listened intently.

The more I listen, the more wrong it gets... "Coach, I'm the main attack?"

"Yes! You dare not?" Morris-Cheeks asked rhetorically.

's speechless aggressive method... Liu Xiu asked back: "How do I fight?"

Maurice-Cheeks replied: "You think of a way to sort out the offense, let yourself get dislocation opportunities and open opportunities, and find opportunities to counterattack."

Maurice-Cheeks' eyes were full of 'I'm optimistic about you'.

Morris-Cheeks' arrangement, Liu Xiu thinks it seems to work.

Up to now, he has also gotten as many as 13 shots and scored 15 points... The efficiency is relatively low, but those shots of his are only when they should be shot.

But the coach's sloppy appearance and messy beard shape, how to see how Liu Xiu thinks that his own coach just can't do anything about it.

However, Liu Xiu is not afraid, not only is not afraid, but also very excited!

He is just a rookie, what are you afraid of?

Even if he loses, the media will definitely throw the pot on him, but he cares about this?

Give him a chance, he won't say 'I'm not ready'!

The Nets sent a combination of Kidd, Kittles, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, Jason Collins.

The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Person, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

The timeout ends and the Nets attack.

Kidd calmed down and focused his attention on the game after sending out an evil fire.

After receiving the serve and advancing to the frontcourt, Kidd encountered Liu Xiu's defense, but Kenyon Martin played a pick-and-roll, opened the ball, and released the ball. Jason Collins received the ball and passed it again. Kenyon Martin opened it and cut to the other side. One side of the baseline caught the ball and took off with a step, flying and throwing to score two points.

The score is 87!

Jason Collins's assist is enviable. When he receives the ball, he can see Kenyon Martin cut in front, and pass it directly to become an assist.

Liu Xiu received the serve and pushed forward, and the Nets quickly retreated and defended well.

Ruben Patterson's high shot, Randolph's low post attack, and Tian Zun's assisting shot... The Nets' defense is all ready to deal with it.

However, after Liu Xiu arrived in the frontcourt, facing Kidd's defense, he chose to change direction and break through!

This is too rare. Liu Xiu faced Kidd tonight, and he couldn't make enough breakthroughs with one hand. Kidd's defensive attention was also focused on playing team defense with his teammates after Liu Xiu played the ball.

When Kidd reacted to prevent Liu Xiu from breaking through, Liu Xiu had already taken the lead. In the face of a slightly flustered lateral shift, Liu Xiu lowered his center of gravity, swiped the ball quickly, and made a leaping breakthrough!

Kenyon Martin was taken out of the line by Tianzun, Randolph stuck Jason Collins, and Liu Xiutu flew to the close range and made a layup!

Maurice Cheeks slapped his hands fiercely on the sidelines, and it worked wonders!

The Trail Blazers scored in the positional battle, which was a big blow to the Nets.

Even Kidd, with such a lineup, would be fighting a battle against the Trail Blazers who opened the way with the twin towers... It would be difficult for him.

Richard Jefferson's cut-in catch and forced layup was slapped down by Tianzun.

Randolph grabbed the ball and passed it to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu pushed forward and counterattacked!

Although this ball did not trigger the "Ghost Talent", Liu Xiu doesn't have to rely on the "Ghost Talent" to push the counterattack, he relies on these teammates!

Tianzun, who went down quickly after the block, and Ruben Patterson, who followed up, made high-level shots, two threat points, one inside and one outside, and Wesley Persson, who quickly went down from the flank. After Randolph passed the ball, he stayed in the backcourt and didn't make a quick move. The Butcher scored 20 points tonight, but he was also tired... The Nets' defensive attention was drawn away by three contact points. Liu Xiu rushed to the free throw line and took three steps Layup!

Liu Xiu scored 4 points in a row to help the Blazers make the score 91-87!

Kidd, his strength is strong, but he is easy to get anxious. The older he gets, the more calm he is in many aspects, but the anxiousness has not changed.

On the court, he can easily do one thing when he is in a hurry - throw a three-pointer!

Especially after he has practiced three-pointers in the past two years, he prefers to throw three-pointers.

However, he always forgets that he has averaged about 1.5 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of about 33% in the past two years, basically all of which are open three-pointers.

Kidd made a three-pointer directly after borrowing Kenyon Martin's pick-and-roll..."Bang"...Iron!

Randolph beat Jason Collins to defend the defensive rebound and passed it to Liu Xiu, who was blocked and then contracted to cut in. Liu Xiu received the ball and fought back!

The number of fouls has already arrived. The Nets cannot use tactical fouls and can only try their best to retreat.

Liu Xiu was heavily defended by the Nets in the counterattack. He chose to go strong... Going strong does not mean shooting hard.

The fixed bonus of 'Ghost Talent' temporarily raised the passing accuracy to 96. After Liu Xiu attracted the attention of the defense, he successfully distributed the ball to the flank. Wesley Person followed up to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer!

94 to 87, the Blazers played a wave of 7 to 2, widening the difference to 7 points!

The Nets called a timeout!

Kidd got dressed!

He already understood the thinking of the opposing coach.

Using Ruben Patterson, Tianzun, and Randolph as a guise to create scoring opportunities for Liu Xiu.

is very risky. Although Liu Xiu has scored 52 points, he is an explosive player, and the CD time is difficult to control. Anyway, Liu Xiu's score did not explode tonight. It is not the day when Liu Xiu scored high.

But they succeeded!

Then Kidd hated Byron Scott even more.

He actually knows that Byron Scott has many excellent things, such as creating a defensive system, such as creating a very good defensive counterattack system.

In this respect, the coaches on the opposite side are not as good as Byron Scott.

but! Kidd can't see those advantages now, because he's used to it.

Now what other teams have and what they don't have, is what Kidd, who turns 31 and turned down the Spurs' invitation in the summer, cares about.

For example, Maurice Cheeks' daring to think and act on the spot.

In the playoffs last season, the Trail Blazers lost three straight and fell behind the Mavericks 0-3. If it wasn't for Maurice Cheeks, who put Randolph in the starting lineup as the core of the inside attack, Dirk Nowitzki , the Blazers have a high probability of being swept out directly.

A coach like this is what Kidd wants!

came back from the timeout, the Nets wanted to fight back, but the positional warfare attacked again.

When the Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu was still the main attack. They insisted on this style of play. This round, Liu Xiu had a bad chance of singles and passed it to Tianzun, who did not score two points.

Kidd grabbed the rebound and fought back, trying to find a three-pointer to quickly chase the points, but he was helpless.

Liu Xiu, who had retreated from the defense, grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked!

After two moves, Liu Xiu hit the ball…

Randolph retreated to the center line, and the opponent made a throw. Seeing Liu Xiu grabbing the rebound, he immediately turned to fast break and received a long pass from Liu Xiu on the left side of the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, Randolph did not dribble to the basket, but threw the ball in the wild cheers of the fans at the scene... Scored!

The live fans are boiling! The fans are cheering loudly!

Cheers for Randolph, for a nine-point 96-87 lead over the Nets that nearly sealed the victory, but those aren't the most important things…

19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Liu Xiu has a triple-double! Back to back triple pair!

Kidd felt the atmosphere, looked at the data on the big screen, shook his head, and the last bit of hard work was shot through by Randolph, a fast break that would definitely be scolded.

There are more than two minutes left, and the score is 9 points away. If you have to say, there is still a chance, but Kidd doesn't want to fight anymore, and the Nets have nothing to do.

At 10:27 p.m., after 2 hours and 27 minutes, the Trail Blazers and the Nets won.

In the last 2 minutes and 33 seconds, the Nets scored 3 points, Kidd relaxed the pick-and-roll and made a long-range three-pointer; the Blazers' Ruben Patterson made a high shot.

Although Kidd had a triple-double of 25 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists,

But the Blazers relied on Liu Xiu's 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Randolph's 22 points and 9 rebounds, Tianzun's 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, and the Flying Squirrel's 16 points... 98 to 90 Lectra Nets .

After defeating the Nets, the Trail Blazers improved their record to 17 wins and 7 losses, surpassing the 17 wins and 8 losses of the Lakers, and once again rushed to the top four in the Western Conference!
