Healing Basketball Chapter 158

Chapter 158 158. The rebounding thief

When the Grizzlies attacked, White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Xiu immediately pressed on to defend and confront him.

White Chocolate hoisted the ball to Gasol, who was pulled to a high position, and then ran to the bottom corner on the right to reduce holding the ball and reduce the physical confrontation with Liu Xiu.

James Posey ran back, cut in from the side of Liu Xiu and White Chocolate, received a pass from Gasol on the right side of the free throw line, and continued to punch the inside line.

The Grizzlies' tactical purpose was to attract Liu Xiu, who was able to make up for the bottom line and flank, but this time it failed.

Tianzun is still in the basket! Because Bunch Wells did not pull out, but stayed in a close position on the left side of the three-second zone.

James Posey cut and broke to the right side of the three-second zone and stopped the ball. He didn't have the ability to make a quick stop shot, and he didn't have the ability to strongly attack the frame. He avoided the steal of the chasing Miles, and he passed the ball to the free throw line direction.

Posey's passing method is a lob, and Gasol takes the ball in the air with the advantage of his height and wingspan.

Randolph was very unhappy, but his defensive habits had already laid the foundation, and he immediately put himself into one-on-one defense.

Attitude is very important. Although Randolph doesn't have the motivation to improve his defense, his attitude on the court is. With his physical fitness and his defensive philosophy of not jumping blindly, Gasol really can't shoot from long distances.

Randolph gave a lot of confrontation!

Attack time is running out, Gasol chose to force!

215 cm big center, but very good ball control!

Pau Gasol passed Randolph with a nice cross step from the free throw line!

Looking at the basket in front of him, Gasol's blood surged and his heart was surging.

He grabbed the ball, jumped, and smashed it towards the rim…

At this moment, what he heard was not the cheers he expected, but the screams of horror...

"Snapped"

The crisp cover sounded, and the ball was slapped out of bounds by Tianzun!

The fans on the scene saw Tianzun pounce when Gasol took off for a dunk and wanted to remind him, but it was too late.

However, before the fans were annoyed and regretted that the goal was not scored, they immediately started booing when they saw the scene in front of them!

"Ah...Suofute! Basketball doesn't lie!"

Tianzun roared at Gasol and sprayed a few words.

The fans at the scene immediately exploded, madly booing Tianzun.

The referee hesitated for a while, but did not sound the whistle, indicating that the game should continue. The Grizzlies played the ball in the frontcourt, and the technical table returned to the watch. There were 3.9 seconds left.

Gasol, who was yelled at, came to serve off the court like a gas bag.

This time, Tianzun and Gasol faced each other and stood in front of Gasol to interfere with the serve.

The expression on Tianzun's face can be described in one word - arrogant and domineering!

But in fact, his hands were shaking after he shouted just now - little money! Although most of the technicals have been canceled, he has been fined tens of thousands of dollars this season.

But the referee didn't blow it, and he immediately stood up.

The game continues.

Although Tianzun's interference was in place, Gasol still successfully sent the ball to White Chocolate.

White Chocolate hits the ball immediately after catching the ball, Shane receives a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left...miss!

Wells grabbed an offensive rebound, bullied a layup... Hit!

In the cheers of the fans on the scene, Wells jumped with high legs, raised his arms, and called to retreat.

This stick looks like a monkey, and the celebrations are so monkey-like, but the strength is really strong!

slandered, Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced.

The Grizzlies' defensive lineup is in place.

Liu Xiu and Momonga played a tactic of sudden points + auxiliary control, just tried it, and it really didn't work well.

The ball came to Tianzun in the middle distance of Tianzun, and Tianzun shot the iron in the straight arm against Shane's defense!

Gasol protects the defensive rebound.

Liu Xiu guessed this situation. Hubby Brown, an old man, was replaced in this lineup in the rotation stage to deal with the sudden points + auxiliary control play of him and Momo.

Shane + Posey, the front and back line formed by these two people, the supplementary defense and assisting defense are all first-class, and there is a white chocolate with increasingly stable defense on the perimeter. Gasol's frame protection is greatly underestimated, even Bang Ziwei The more he plays, the more active he is, and the defensive end is very hard.

Mainly tactics!

The Grizzlies' double 3D infinite switching is really good, both of them can change from 1 to 4.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies were also one-on-one next. Wells jumped up quickly at the basket and got the ball, but he didn't make up. Randolph protected the defensive rebound.

The tactics of the second round were not played.

Just now, Liu Xiu didn't focus on this, and devoted himself to how to help his teammates defend better.

Now I find that something is not right. The opponent's team attacked and suddenly disappeared!

After receiving a pass from Randolph, Liu Xiu recalled the opponent's two rounds of offense... There is a way!

In the front court, Liu Xiu made a gesture to pass the ball to Momo.

Little Flying Squirrel's tiger body was shocked!

Play tactics, if he plays well, of course he wants to.

But what he likes most now is singles!

Having accepted this role, he has been working hard to adjust to the sixth man style since the start of the season.

Open the waves!

After a couple of runs, seeing Liu Xiu cut to the bottom line, Momonga directly pulled up a three-point shot...

Iron!

The defensive White Chocolate didn't react, nor did the rest of the Grizzlies.

But the Blazers players are always ready!

Tianzun jumped high, and pushed the ball back to the basket through Wells who had retracted the basket!

Beautiful refills!

Tianzun exclaimed twice with excitement, and did not forget to add the sentence "Basketball can't lie", and quickly retreated.

Liu Xiu and Tianzun high-fived and looked at the stick opposite, and sure enough, they were hooked!

The stick ran to the front court aggressively, crouching at close range and couldn't come out.

White Chocolate gestured to Wells twice, but the other party ignored him, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Cowardly, White Chocolate didn't want to be irritable, but adjusted his style of play based on the actual situation.

Signal Gasol's low singles!

Gasol received the tactical gesture, glanced at the disgusting Tianzun, and hesitated...

But he also discovered the problem on Wells' side. The tactics could not be played out. Before the coaching staff called a timeout, he had to find a way to hold on.

The best way is that he goes to the low post...

Bold his scalp and came to the low position. When Gasol leaned back against Tianzun, he felt even deeper malice.

didn't dare to chisel inside, Gasol took a step to catch the ball, turned over and made a jumper... Iron!

This is not his post-up style!

The stick again grabbed the ball as nimble as a monkey, causing Randolph to foul and walk to the free throw line.

This stick is really good at offensive rebounding!

Liu Xiu remembered!

In the 2006 playoffs, this stick smashed Duncan by rushing offensive rebounds. In one game, he had 10 offensive rebounds in a single game. Relying on the second attack, he made 12 of 17 shots.

Although it was the worst year devastated by plantar fasciitis, Duncan played the worst performance of his career at the age of 30, but Duncan was a second team and second defense that year.

is enough to prove the strength of Wells' contract year!

Yes, that summer, Wells received a 5-year contract offer of more than 30 million dollars, but he thought it was not enough, he hung up the Kings, and finally the Kings withdrew the offer, and then, he joined the Rockets with a minimum salary...

After Wells caused a foul, he stepped on the monkey and jumped to the free throw line amid the cheers of the fans.

Liu Xiu quickly took Tianzun, Randolph, and Miles and gave them a few words.

As for Momonga... Offensive rebounding, if the ball pops up and hits him, that's fine.

Wells hit one of two free throws and hit the second.

Tianzun fiercely blocked Gasol, Randolph blocked Posey, Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound, turned around and advanced quickly.

The Grizzlies didn't give the Blazers a chance to fast break, so Liu Xiu immediately handed it over to Momo when he got to the frontcourt.

Flying squirrel waves + rushing and rushing play!

One shot and four grabs have no chance!

Momonga is a confident, pull-up jumper from the free throw line, chased by White Chocolate, and hit the mid-range shot!

When it comes to the Grizzlies offense, their offense has stalled.

The ball came to Shane, because Shane had the best chance of dislocation - singles against the flying squirrels.

Momonga rushes to defend, Shane carefully guards the ball and breaks through.

Shane was unable to start this breakthrough. When he got to close range, he met Miles to make up defense and couldn't make a shot... Randolph doesn't think about stealing the board now, he first blocked that **** stick!

Teammates are in position, and Liu Xiu closes the board.

However, when the Blazers attack, they can only see the touch of the singles and the success rate of offensive rebounds.

In the next few rounds, both teams played singles + rushing.

On the Grizzlies' side, the confrontation they initiated on their own initiative had a great impact on the team offense, and now it's not enough.

Momonga's success rate in singles is also not very good. White Chocolate's defense is really good. He is not the kind of top single defense player, but he does not make mistakes on the defensive end and is very stable.

Momonga is really difficult to deal with against such a defensive player.

The score of the two teams depends on the rush.

Offensive rebounding, the two teams have similar rushing abilities.

But in terms of guards, Randolph and Tianzun blocked people and Liu Xiu closed, which has an advantage over the Grizzlies guards!

And this is an advantage that has always existed!

With the strengthening of the Grizzlies, the style of play has become more stable, a bit like the Spurs.

But the biggest difference between them and the Spurs is the protection of defensive rebounds.

The Spurs are averaging 45 rebounds per game, and their opponents are limited to 42.4 rebounds per game.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, averaged only 41.2 rebounds per game, and the opponent averaged 44 rebounds per game.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on rebounds and successfully overtook the score, leading the Grizzlies 22-20 by 2 points and entering the break!

11-10 in the first half and 9-12 in the second half.

The old coach Hubby Brown stood on the sidelines, his windbreaker was held up by his hands on both sides, and his hands were in his pockets.

Just like a little spirit... a spirit old man.

He really wanted to fight the bearded man on the opposite side!

He had already seen the Trail Blazers' strategy - prodding Wells to the inside is better than anyone's offensive rebounding and rushing.

Because the stick Wells did not pull out the off-ball pick-and-roll and move to stir up the defense, Tianzun stayed at the basket, and the cutting threat of Shane Battier and Posey was greatly reduced, and the 52-point man on the opposite side did not need to shrink.

Liu Xiu's increasingly outstanding flank defense and defense ability was originally a part of the Grizzlies' offensive tactics that they wanted to use.

And Shane and Posey's catch-and-stop mid-range shots... If they had this ability, their Grizzlies would have taken off early!

The Blazers were so mixed up, although the Blazers failed to take the initiative and could only give it a go, but the Grizzlies' rhythm control took the initiative.

Of course, Hubby Brown didn't call a timeout, and that's why.

Calling a timeout doesn't necessarily result in better adjustments. Anyway, it's all a fight, so give it a try to see which side is in better shape.

Obviously, the one in better condition is the opposite…

Then, the grumpy old man entered the timeout and stood on the sidelines staring at Maurice Cheeks opposite.

stared for a minute. After the players had a rest, Hubie Brown turned around and adjusted his style of play in the second half.

On the other side, Maurice Cheeks felt aggrieved when he was stared at by the 70-year-old man.

What does it have to do with him!

is not a tactic he arranged!

I'm a little bit complaining about the adaptability of my rookie...

The response is too fast!

It took only two rounds to formulate a strategy to directly kill the opponent's team's attack.

seems to be very simple, but it is not easy to grasp these points.

But, although it's inexplicable "back the blame", but it's easy!

There is no need for their coaching staff to choose a direction to adjust, and now the direction is already there - drag the opponent into the quagmire of the iron battle!

They have fought a few iron battles recently, and now they have a lot of experience in how to fight iron battles.

The Grizzlies are hitting the gun!

The game entered the defensive tug-of-war mode early.

That's better for the Blazers.

When the Blazers were against the Grizzlies, no matter who they were, as long as they really needed it, they would not hesitate to release someone.

The ever-increasing confrontation has a lot of interference with mid- and long-range shots!

Gasol and Tian Zun, these two mid-range and long-range shooters, have been greatly affected.

The effect of is more pronounced the later the match month is played.

But when the Grizzlies were defending, there was one guy they didn't dare to shoot for him.

This person is the warden, the general, Mr. 52 points... Liu Xiu!

Two months ago, the 52 points in a single game that shook the basketball world left a psychological shadow on everyone on the Grizzlies.

Most of them are subjectively certain that it was just a game where Liu Xiu broke out. The probability of them encountering again is as low as their first playoff appearance in the history of the opposing Trail Blazers this season. The odds of winning the title outright are just as low.

But when it comes to the game, they subconsciously pay special attention to Liu Xiu's defense.

Especially after Liu Xiu scored a three-pointer with a big gap before the official timeout in the second quarter, the Grizzlies always ensured that there was someone in front of Liu Xiu before the opponent shot.

Of course, the Grizzlies at home also have their advantages.

Better preparation, better stamina, stronger rotation strength…

But these zero-angle conditions are not as important as Liu Xiu's threat.

There is another point, which is also related to Liu Xiu.

As the game deepened, Liu Xiu's advantages in flexibility became more and more obvious.

From the Grizzlies' side, Liu Xiu looks like a 'thief'!

There are many times when Liu Xiu stole the ball when their inside line was about to get an offensive rebound or a defensive rebound!
