Healing Basketball Chapter 17

Chapter 17 17. Quasi lore! (It's a big chapter)

No matter who the opponent is, he wants to prove himself - Dwyane Wade.

Wade is a little frizzy now.

He led the team to a 9-point lead in the first quarter, and then killed the lead to around 5 points.

He didn't play at the beginning of the second quarter. Caron Butler led the team to play for half of the quarter alone. Seeing that there were signs of opening the point difference again, Heat coach Stan Van Gundy replaced Wade and Haslem with Wade and Haslem. , coupled with Caron Butler, obviously wanted to widen the difference in the first half.

At this time, Wade was naturally full of confidence.

This situation is obvious. Compared with Caron Butler, his gill finishing ability has received higher trust from the beginning.

However, at the end of the second quarter, with a three-pointer from Caron Butler's flank, the Heat only led the Blazers by 3 points 62-59!

If it wasn't for Caron Butler's three-pointer, the difference would have been tied!

After the first half, Wade watched Liu Xiu shrugged and gave Randolph a high five after Caron Butler hit a three-pointer...

I don't know why, but Wade got angry when he looked at Liu Xiu.

It's like he didn't understand why Liu Xiu's efficiency didn't seem much different from the first half of the first quarter. As a result, the Trail Blazers played a 14-7 climax to tie the score. Their Heat team relied on Caron Butler to make a three-pointer. Going into the second half with a slight lead.

Indeed, Wade couldn't defend against Liu Xiu's back play, but Liu Xiu only scored 4 points and only 1 assist. In the first half of the first quarter, Liu Xiu scored 2 points and 1 assist, and the difference in data performance was not that big.

Wade was wondering why the lead was gone. The coaches of the two teams were also thinking about this matter, but the coaches of the two teams saw the reason-in the half of the game, the Blazers really played. teamwork!

I have to say that in the first half of the first quarter, the Blazers also played teamwork, but they just ran the teamwork in place. It was just Liu Xiu who was willing to play the ball and gave the opportunity in place. The teammates were willing to run along, but there was no real creation. Strictly speaking, an effective offensive opportunity is not considered a cooperation, it is just a tactical movement.

Tactics to really play out, there are generally two situations.

First, there is an absolute threat point; second, the function of the connection point is particularly strong.

A good example is Duncan's play both in his youth and at the end of his career.

In the first half of the first quarter, when Randolph didn't exert his strength and Liu Xiu didn't have a good finish, the Blazers were just running the tactical roadmap.

But after Randolph started to exert his strength and Liu Xiu started to attack with his back, the Blazers team attacked!

Not to mention, even the Blazers coaching staff did not expect to play this way of teamwork at the beginning of the summer league.

Like Wade's sudden, Caron-Butler's perimeter containment, Haslem's off-ball pick-and-roll, plus a cutting player's cooperation, this is actually relatively easy to achieve.

And Liu Xiu led the team to play this kind of game, which is even more difficult!

But what amazed the head coaches of the two teams was not that Liu Xiu led the team to attack the team, but that Liu Xiu could still play the ball calmly when he had an advantage in back play!

It is true that it can be seen that Liu Xiu's ability to organize offenses is quite satisfactory. Compared with geniuses like Wade, there is a considerable gap in comprehensive ability. Among the players participating in the summer league, Liu Xiu can definitely be classified as excellent. Inside the players, but Wade's performance tonight is definitely the top team in the summer league.

However, even Heat coach Stan Van Gundy has to admit that Wade's surprising performance has not overshadowed Liu Xiu's limelight!

Calm handling of the ball, simple and direct style of play, good timing of the shot... so many advantages!

Everyone felt that Liu Xiu had a strong sense of existence, or they all focused on him.

But there is actually a reason for this—the two teams in the game this morning did not show any real teamwork, at most small-scale cooperation; in the current game, the two teams actually have only When Liu Xiu was on the court, the Blazers played teamwork.

Originally, no one cared about the cooperation in the first half of the first quarter. After all, it was a failed cooperation and did not work.

But the Trail Blazers played well in the second half of the second quarter, so the cooperation in the first half of the first quarter was also mentioned.

There is a difference, it is special.

However, in Liu Xiu's case, he believes that Randolph is the key to their team's cooperation. Entering the 8-minute halftime break, the two are arguing...

"I obviously got 5 points, how do you count 2 points?"

"You have 3 points that you didn't get from back play."

"Why didn't I get it from the back play? If I didn't make a back play and grabbed an offensive rebound by myself, it doesn't count?"

"Of course not, that's a second shot, so it's me leading you 4-2 now, Zach."

Randolph stared at Liu Xiu - never seen such a brazen person!

"Wait for me, I will definitely score more points than you in the second half!"

Randolph twisted his big **** back to his seat, and Liu Xiu sat lazily aside.

There is no such thing as playing a game. There is no such thing as saying that the game is of low 'level' and doesn't care about winning or losing.

is like playing a game, playing CS at the age of 8 and wanting to win, playing CS at the age of 38 and still wanting to win.

Only if you consider this game as a game, there is no such saying that you don't care whether you win or lose because of the high or low “level”.

Randolph didn't take it as a game in the first half, but now, after coming back from the second official timeout in the second quarter, he played seriously for 4 minutes, and Randolph is now in a state.

At halftime, the two teams made personnel adjustments.

On the Heat side, Wade led the team, Caron Butler and Haslem rested.

On the Blazers side, Quintel Woods led the team, Liu Xiu, Randolph and others rested.

Quintel Woods led the team and played with Wade back and forth. It's not that Quintel Woods' strength can be compared to rookie Wade. The gap is actually quite big. It's just that in such a game, Quint Woods can play similar to Wade.

Quintel-Woods felt that the team attached more importance to Liu Xiu than him, and the second half of the second quarter did not collapse as he expected. Instead, the current situation is that Liu Xiu led the team to tighten the score. In a situation where one goal can tie the score, the pressure is on him instead.

But he didn't make a few blind plays, didn't give time to dig holes for the later games, but worked hard.

Because he is just a second-year player who didn't play well in his rookie season and caused trouble. If he messes up in the summer league, it will only be more difficult in the new season.

Liu Xiu was originally worried that this teammate who was not used to him would dig a hole for him. When he saw Quintel Woods fighting Wade hard, he knew that he wanted to go wrong...

But that's a good thing!

The game continued to deepen, the players of the two teams continued to change, and the scores rose staggeredly.

The Heat's lineup for Summer League is better, mainly because of better pitching.

Two second-year small forwards, Caron Butler and Messenger Butler, both shot excellently. The Heat signed Kirk Penny, a partially guaranteed contract undrafted, and also made a 3-pointer in the second half. .

The score staggered to the end of the fourth quarter. It was 7 minutes and 56 seconds into the fourth quarter, and there were more than two minutes left. The score was 109 to 105. The Heat led by 4 points and still had the ball.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt and saw that Liu Xiu still chose to take a step back to defend. There was no panic and a trace of admiration.

In the past two rounds, Wade still completed a strong shot to help his teammates score under such circumstances.

It's not that Wade thinks Liu Xiu should be pulled out to defend. Wade thinks Liu Xiu's defensive choice is right. It's just that Liu Xiu is still calm and not chaotic. De was surprised, after all, it had already hit this time.

Wade continued to break through to launch the attack, and this time, the defensive changes directed by Liu Xiu were executed well.

Blocked the three-pointer of Messenger Butler, who came off the bench, blocked Haslem's cut, and Ruben Bonteje guarded the basket, and let the flank's Kirk Penney's catch-up shot.

The ball finally came to Kirk Penny, although Kirk Penny made a three-pointer in front, but this time it was empty.

Liu Xiu made the right choice this time, Kirk Penny missed a three-pointer in the big gap, and Randolph protected the defensive rebound!

Liu Xiu received the ball and pushed forward steadily without speeding up the rhythm, waiting for his teammates to join.

His speed is not fast, the opponent is trying to retreat, and he cannot play an effective fast break.

Liu Xiu came to the top arc and waited. In the last round, Randolph launched an attack from a low back. This time it was Liu Xiu's turn.

Just when Liu Xiu was about to pass the ball to Travis Outlaw, who pulled it to the top arc, he saw that Wade had already retreated to the basket!

Liu Xiu saw that there was no one in a radius of two meters, she was silent for a while, picked up the ball, raised her hand...

'Um? '

Wade retreated within the distance of the free throw line, only to realize that Liu Xiu did not come in, turned his head and saw that Liu Xiu was shooting!

'This guy has three-pointer ability? '

Liu Xiu carefully and slowly adjusted, looking for a feeling, a three-point shot with a large gap...

Wade watched Liu Xiu's slow three-point shot and plunged into the basket... 'I really have the ability to make three-pointers! '

Although it was only after the decision to participate in the draft, the three-point simulation training became an NBlevel three-pointer, but he has more than 70 summer league three-pointers, a good level.

Liu Xiu's ability to shoot three-pointers in singles is not good, but this kind of big gap is really not guarded, and of course he has to shoot.

Good luck, enter!

108 to 109, the difference is reduced to 1 point!

This time, it was really Wade's fault, and it can't be said that he was not focused. He concentrated on thinking about how to deal with Liu Xiubei's attack, but he was too focused on this and made a mistake!

When the Heat attacked, Wade made a single shot from a close range and saved a little face.

But Randolph immediately returned the color, and the low post singles turned and hit a close-range pullback jumper.

110 to 111, the Blazers tightened the score!

The summer league did not suspend when it came to a critical moment, it just did it.

When the Heat attacked, Wade wanted to do it again. This time his intention to attack the frame was too obvious. Randolph moved in time under Ruben Bonteje's signal to block it in place, and cooperated with Liu Xiu to block it. Wade, Wade misses the shot!

Reuben Bonteje became more courageous when he hit this time. He actually has a good brain, but when it comes to playing, he often learns it with his brain, but his hands and feet can't keep up... At this time, he is decisive. Commanded Randolph to help make up defenses and caught Wade by surprise!

Randolph defended the defensive rebound after completing the supplementary defense. Looking back, Liu Xiu missed the mid-range shot from the free throw line, but Randolph made another contribution in rebounding. He won the offensive rebound and hit the tip!

In terms of the overall ability of the team, the Heat must be slightly stronger, and the overall configuration is better in all aspects, but in terms of individual ability, Randolph is definitely the strongest in this game.

If the battle line is elongated, Randolph's personal ability will play a role. In the summer league, there is no ball-handling perimeter like Wade or a flanking shooter like Caron Butler, but there are still a few rounds left. , Randolph is like a BUG, no solution!

112 to 111, Randolph scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, leading the Blazers to overtake the score!

At this point in the game, although the audience did not increase much, and the $10 ticket price is not too much, it is not too little, but the fans at the scene were very excited.

The physical qualities of Wade and Quintel-Woods, Caron Butler's shooting, Liu Xiu's overall view, Randolph's individual ability... The teamwork or small-scale cooperation of the two teams has done quite well.

The game has come to an end. Randolph relied on his unreasonable personal ability to overtake the score. More than 5,000 fans at the scene began to shout "No. 3".

Wade was excited when he heard the call, but also a little upset - these people don't even know his name!

In the cheers of the fans, Wade chose to attack!

rushed to close range, Wade was hit by Liu Xiu and Randolph, and the high throwing hand... hit the board!

With 21 seconds left, Wade hit a key ball, 113 to 112, and the Heat overtook the Blazers by 1 point!

The Blazers did not call a timeout on the last attack. After Randolph sent the ball to Liu Xiu, he shouted 'GOGOGO' to urge his teammates to press on quickly.

Actions will adversely affect a person's mentality, and the same is true of playing. Tonight, Randolph unknowingly has the identity of the inside leader that he has never had since he entered the NBA. To a certain extent, he can help his teammates by scoring the ball, which is a mentality that he did not have when he was ordered to play the main force in the playoffs last season.

The teammates pressed on quickly, Liu Xiu followed behind and pushed forward, not in a hurry, and the rhythm was well controlled.

After halftime, Liu Xiu began to instruct his teammates to move, speeding up and moving towards the top arc.

Randolph pressed inside and made a rushing stance. Travis Outlaw went to the flank as instructed to give Matt Carroll an off-ball pick-and-roll. Ruben Bontje was on the left side of the three-second zone. A natural threat due to height and size.

At present, the most important thing for the Blazers is Ruben Bonteje, the weakest link. This is the case with the big center. He can put the basket on tiptoes when he receives the ball in the right position. To a non-guaranteed contract, and big centers like Ruben Bonteje and Lauren Woods, as long as they are big enough and play badly, there is always a reason for the contract.

The Heat are currently leading, and instead of implementing aggressive defensive strategies such as pressing and stealing, they chose to follow up.

After Liu Xiu reached the top arc, Wade didn't give Liu Xiu another three-point shot, and he was very close, focusing on the point where Travis Outlaw gave Matt Carroll a pick-and-roll on the left side of the three-second zone. up, ready to make up at any time.

No one thought, not even the Blazers players, that Liu Xiu chose to make a breakthrough at this time!

At the moment when Travis Outlaw helped Matt Carroll block Kirk Penny, most of Wade's attention was focused on the immediate possible supplementary defense, which was passed by Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu's speed is not very fast, but it is not slow. Wade quickly catches up, but it is still a beat slower. Liu Xiu rushes to the inside line, takes off, and leans on Haslem who has made up for a layup... Wade, who followed up to chase the cap behind, didn't cap the ball!

The moment when Liu Xiu passed Wade, no matter how it was, the fans on the scene were all excited... Neither team had any popular young players, everyone came to watch the fun, whichever played well, just Cheers to which side.

When Liu Xiu made a successful shot into the inside line, more than 5,000 fans were ready to cheer again... They were not disappointed. Liu Xiu's frontal shot hit the basket's neck and went straight into the frame!

With 2.3 seconds left, Liu Xiuzhun made the lore!

The fans who were cheering for Wade just now are cheering for Liu Xiu now. As one of the parties, Wade is in a complicated mood.

But it didn't make him angry. What made him angry was that after Liu Xiu scored a goal, he made a chest expansion in front of him, as if to say that I finally started to move, and then smiled and gave Randolph a high five to retreat...

Wade gritted his teeth and his cheeks were bulging. Just now, he was excited after he scored the goal of the one-on-two go-ahead score. Compared with the current Liu Xiu, it was like Erque...

Really angry!

Although the opposite side did nothing and the celebration was so simple, it just made Wade angry!
