Healing Basketball Chapter 293

Chapter 293 293. He's still the same him he used to be! (full 2200 monthly tickets plus more)

The warden, who was secretly observing, found that the butcher's mentality was on the verge of collapse on the first day after the implementation of the parallel import champion reform plan.

At this time, he found that his three apprentices were really cute. They taught what they learned, no nonsense, no questioning.

Seeing that Randolph had really taken over the mess of the parallel champion, Liu Xiu left it alone.

He has already thought of a way for the champion of parallel imports. In this case, the champion of parallel imports does not know how to redeem himself, so it is none of his business.

A day of preparation time has passed. At 7:50 pm, the Blazers players entered the court and are about to start the preseason game away to the Kings.

The Blazers have played 5 preseason games, 4 wins and 1 loss. The one they lost was overturned by the Warriors who threw 14 three-pointers in a single game.

The speed of the Blazers' adaptation to the new rules has been recognized by the mainstream media, which is normal.

The Kings are very surprising. They were avalanche in the second half of last season, and they dominated the preseason for 5 consecutive victories!

One of the rare teams that scored 100 points on the first game day of the preseason was the Kings.

But read a little more about their game, they looked like they were doing well, only because they almost gave up on defense.

Another team that scored 100 points on the first game day was the Kings opponent.

Averaged 112 points per game in 5 games and allowed 107 points per game.

As far as this performance is concerned, according to the experience of previous years, it is converted into the regular season, and the average loss per game is over 100.

The Blazers have studied the specific situation of the Kings' 5 preseason games, and speculated that the Kings players should have reached a certain consensus and cooperated well.

At 8 p.m., after the game started, the Blazers confirmed their speculation.

When Divac was poached by the Lakers as a 2-year middle-class player, Brad Miller successfully took the position and formed a twin tower with Webber. Both Brad Miller and Divac have been better this season.

Contradiction-1, during the long off-season, we have had unpleasant communication, and we have the common goal of winning the championship... We did reach a consensus and began to cooperate.

But only on offense.

It requires more cooperation, hard work, and mutual trust in defense. The Kings players are really tacit, and the tacit understanding is not effective.

The referee whistled for an extraordinarily strict preseason. The Kings, a very strong offensive team, seized the new rules that high-position defense cannot be used, and played 6 minutes and 03 seconds in the first quarter with a skilled Princeton style. 8 of 11 shots beat the Trail Blazers 21-13 in one and a half quarters, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout to enter the official timeout period.

Liu Xiu saw a post in a previous life saying that Princeton is one of the ultimate forms of small-ball tactics.

After taking the 02 Kings for 20 years, it is definitely a king-level team.

Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it should be almost the same.

The current scale of whistleblowing, from Liu Xiu's perspective, is a bit like 18 years later.

However, after 18 or 20 years, the team that can really win the final depends on defense.

The defense of the 02 Kings ranked in the top three in the league in the 2001-02 season. The defense of this Kings team, probably, the bottom three?

The Trail Blazers were in chaos in the first half of the first quarter. After a few slaps, they still scored 13 points, which shows that the Kings have defended many times.

After came back from the suspension, the Blazers sent a combination of Momo, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess.

The Trail Blazers have made great progress in defense, but in the preseason, when the referee is suspected of fouling, it is still too reluctant to guard against the Kings who have been further liberated from Princeton.

But the auxiliary control play of Momonga + Warden, against the defense of the Kings, was also liberated!

In the second half of the first quarter, relying on Momoko with 6 points and 1 assist, Liu Xiu with 4 points and 2 assists, and Raheem with 5 points, the Trail Blazers made a 19-16 counterattack, narrowing the 3-point difference, and the first quarter was over. , chasing the score to 32 to 37, 5 points behind the Kings.

The Kings really relied on the change of the rules to have the possibility of revival. If it wasn't for the riotous operation of the Kings management after the All-Star weekend last season, and steadily allowing Brad Miller and Divac to complete the transition, it would really be possible to do it again. Continuing to be strong for a few years, it is also possible to become the team version of the Suns.

But even if it is the Kings who look good, the offensive end is really fierce.

And they have found the confidence of a strong team in the past few games. In the face of the Blazers' counter-attack, Ling Ran is not afraid to fight against the Blazers!

The Blazers had a hard time chasing the points, but they didn't give up. Maurice Cheeks made timely rotations and gave just the right tactical adjustments. Buzdrick and Kevin Pritchard provided tactical response support… Critical moments It's up to the player's ability.

At 4 minutes and 22 seconds in the second quarter, Randolph tipped 2+1 to help the Trail Blazers tighten the lead to within 10 points 41-50.

At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, Liu Xiu received a three-pointer on the flank, triggering a 'fixed-point sniper'. He felt hot and hit a three-pointer. At 8 minutes and 24 seconds, Liu Xiu stole the ball from Webber, counterattacked and hit a European step layup, scoring 5 in a row. Scored a wave of 5-0, chasing the score to 57-61, and finally narrowed the difference to less than 5 points.

A difference of less than 5 points is basically equivalent to the two teams returning to the same starting line.

The Trail Blazers held on to the score tightly, and the Kings desperately wanted to widen the difference. At 6:37 of the third quarter, Rahim took Randolph's ball and scored two points with a tomahawk-style dunk. The score was 81 to 81, and the score was finally tied!

At this moment, the Trail Blazers are in awe! The morale of the Kings, who led more than two quarters, took a huge blow.

However, the Blazers have many stars, and there are people who can stand up, and the Kings have no shortage of stars!

Bibi followed by Liu Xiu's top arc three-pointer in the singles, which attracted cheers from the fans on the scene and withstood the pressure brought by the Blazers tying the score.

Failing to take off, changing a second-year player to lead the team may lead to another wave of rush, but it is clear that Liu Xiu, who has done a better offensive on the other side, is not impatient, and steadily controls the team's rhythm. Well, wait patiently for the next wave of opportunities.

On the offensive end, the Kings made better use of the blessings brought by the new regulations.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity!

Near the end of the third quarter, the Kings players, who had a 6-point lead, were a little slack, thinking that they were about to enter the inter-quarter break, and they could win after another quarter in the final quarter.

The idea of makes their offensive shooting too loose and they don't control their aiming well!

Raheem and Dale Davis were locked, Liu Xiu grabbed the board, the flying squirrels and extrajudicial madmen who were on the court made fast breaks. At the end of the third quarter, Liu Xiu scored 2 points and 2 assists, leading the team to play a wave 7-0, the Trail Blazers overtook the Kings 98-97 by 1 point and entered the final quarter!

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Kings were in a hurry and wanted to grab the lead immediately.

As a result, Liu Xiu and Momo was rushing 9 to 4 again, and the point difference was widened to 6 points. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Blazers led the Kings by 10 points 117-107!

In the second half of the final quarter, the Kings made a desperate bet, playing with the defense, blocking the basket, and letting the Trail Blazers shoot outside the perimeter. They really got a bet on them. At the end of the quarter, they played a wave of 9 to 3 and scored 10 points in the final quarter. At 58 seconds, the score was 124 to 128.

With more than 1 minute left, the Kings really created a chance with the gorgeous and fierce Princeton!

but!

At 11 minutes and 18 seconds, Liu Xiu received the ball from Randolph at the free throw line and made a steady jumper.

The score is 130 to 124, and the difference is 6 points!

The idea of the Kings overtaking the score by two goals is shattered!

Bibby made another contribution, another 3-pointer from the outside, helping the Kings chase the score to 127-130 with 26 seconds left, defending the Blazers, they still have a chance to tie the score!

When the Blazers attacked, Ruben Patterson and Rahim opened, Randolph and McDyess were ready to move at any time, and Liu Xiu singled on the outside.

In the face of Bibby's defense, Liu Xiu changed direction and made a breakthrough, easily dashing into the inside!

The Kings continued to shrink their defense and let both sides empty. Randolph still had a chance to catch the ball, but Liu Xiu didn't pass it. He analyzed that after passing it, he couldn't come back. He rushed all the way to the inside!

At the critical moment, the tacit understanding of the defense of the Kings players came back. Webber blocked a step inside the free throw line at the right time, and the defense was very good. However, they all underestimated Liu Xiu's rhythm flow breakthrough!

Because the impact of the new rules is too great, people have long forgotten about Liu Xiu looking for Kobe to learn a breakthrough.

Liu Xiu paused at the free-throw line, and Webb was instantly fired!

Liu Xiu originally planned to continue to break through, but when he saw Webber jumping up, he couldn't resist the temptation, grabbed the ball, and stuck it towards Webber who fell...

'Horse, I'm dirty...'

The fallen Webber knocked Liu Xiu back, Liu Xiu threw the ball out and threw it rambling, but the referee still gave the whistle.

Just this whistle, the referee seemed to hesitate.

Webber made a defensive foul, and Liu Xiu got two free throws!

Walking to the free throw line, Liu Xiu's heart thumped in shame.

Although the referee gave the whistle a little late, Liu Xiu was relieved to find that no one seemed to notice that he couldn't help but use the trick of the king just now.

After receiving the ball from the referee, Liu Xiu immediately put aside the distractions and concentrated on the free throw.

Free throws, the points that come up, don't want it if you're stupid.

Liu Xiu made two free throws, 132 to 127, and the difference came to 5 points!

The Kings call a timeout!

came back from the timeout, the Kings arranged a tactic for Peja, but at the critical moment Peja paid a tribute to Kobe and threw a bridge... The rebound was protected by Randolph, and with a few seconds left, the Kings did not struggle.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 29 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, Momoko's 21 points and 5 assists, Raheem's 19 points, Randolph's 18 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, and the extrajudicial fanatics' 12 points and 6 Board 2 blocks, Kwame Brown's 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block... The Blazers defeated the Kings 132-127, ending the Kings' 5-game winning streak in the preseason!

Originally, in this preseason, the coaching staff of the two teams did not pay much attention to it, nor did they think that they would fight to the last minute.

But the Blazers players played very motivated because of their reputation as the "most gorgeous team in history"; the Kings players also played very hard because of the grudges last season, and the players of the two teams played very hard.

The coaches of the two teams also changed their minds.

Generally speaking, the preseason is the adjustment, experiment and summary of the first few games. The last preseason is played as the regular season, and the real test and the final experiment are carried out. There are usually four games before the last preseason and the regular season. Five days to make final adjustments.

But the real game is coming, and it's not bad to start testing the running-in effect a game earlier.

Liu Xiu's performance tonight made the Blazers coaching staff very satisfied!

When he needs to score, he can step up.

When the opponent is strictly guarded and the opportunity is not good, he will choose to make good use of the opponent's defensive strategy, connect the team, help his teammates score, and even don't care about assists.

The control of the situation on the field is even better, which is the improvement of control brought by the improvement of strength.

The Blazers coaching staff is worried that Liu Xiu will be gone because of last season's results, because of his achievements in the international arena, because of the improvement of the team's status... and he will no longer play like he used to.

After this unexpectedly intense and tense game, the biggest stone hanging in the minds of the Blazers coaching staff landed smoothly.

He is still the same him! Nothing has changed... oh, better shape, Falco...
