Healing Basketball Chapter 429

   Chapter 429 429. Brutal opening! (the 10,000-character chapter)

   After having a friendly meet and greet with the warden, Tianzun and Dale Davis went to see Liu Xiu for the last set of back punching training.

   Seeing the trainer carrying the cushion used by boxers for training to prevent the warden from hitting, Tianzun and the gold medalist both felt that they were good insiders, and they did not envy those outside stars who could hold the ball for a long time.

After Liu Xiu took a bath, the three of them ate some snacks in the lounge together, and then played a few games of Warcraft online using the laptops left by their teammates in the lounge. The main game content was Liu Xiu and Tian Zun teaching Dell. -Davis plays games and sees the posture of the two, because he wants to cultivate Dale Davis into a middle-aged Internet addiction.

The two of them have never found Dale Davis to play games together before. The gold medalist always looks like a big brother. I will try it today. I didn't expect that the gold medalist who is approaching middle age likes to try new things so much and enjoys the game very much. The instant pleasure of killing a monster to get a little experience points.

   This reminded Liu Xiu of a group of middle-aged uncles in their forties who were the main force in the Internet cafe in the small town where he grew up in his previous life at the beginning of the century.

Eating the delicious snacks brought by the warden and playing games, Tianzun's gold medalists enjoyed it very much, but the happy time always passed quickly. At 3:30 in the afternoon, the extrajudicial fanatics came to the arena, and the two After chatting with old teammates for a while, they left. They knew that it was time for the warden to rest before the game, and the door gods came.

  The extrajudicial fanatic packed up his teammates' computers. Liu Xiu rested on the cot specially prepared for him in the locker room by the team during the All-Star Weekend. The final preparations before the game had already begun.

  Tianzun and the gold medal thug looked at the extrajudicial fanatic who took a pony and slammed the door outside the lounge after packing up, and then took a look at the familiar training ground with mixed feelings.

   Nostalgia is indispensable, but when I come to this arena in the future, I will definitely not have the same emotions as today.

  At 7:40 p.m., at the Rose Garden Arena, the visiting Pacers entered the arena first.

  The Pacers benches lined up outside the tunnel, and the fans gave enthusiastic cheers and applause when the DJ shouted "King of technical fouls".

   If a star leaves a team when the team is at its worst and has the worst reputation, then when the star returns to play at the home of his old club, he will be greeted with boos and endless abuse.

   After Tian Zun left the Trail Blazers, both sides became better. Tian Zun returned to the Rose Garden Arena for the first time as a guest, and this kind of treatment was deserved.

   Then came Ron Artest, a double candidate for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.

   The cheers of the live fans quickly turned into boos.

  Artest's expression was arrogant when he entered the stadium, and the slang words in his mouth, many black fans knew that they were vulgar just by looking at their mouths.

   But that's not the point, how many quality players are there in the NBA? Stars trained by Big Bird, Isaiah Thomas, Reggie Miller and others cannot have a clean mouth.

  The fans booed Artest because Artest bombarded the injustice of this year's All-Star Game during an interview at noon.

   "The All-Stars in the West are afraid of the Warden's fist because the league favors him. If I fight Garnett and Wallace like him, I'll get a life ban?

  The All-Stars in the West are all softballs. They all help him score points. Only then can he get the AMVP. He is not worthy of the AMVP, and he is not qualified. "

   There are not a few stars who have envied Liu Xiu and won the All-Star MVP, but he is the first to shoot directly like Artest.

   Those who are dissatisfied but qualified, like McGrady and O'Neal, they don't often say it with their faces down.

   If you are dissatisfied with what you are not qualified to take, you have no right to speak.

Coincidentally, Artest is stuck in the middle of two situations. Say he is very qualified, no, say he is not qualified, he really has certain qualifications, and has a certain right to speak, and he does not Like those people who love to show his face, his dissatisfaction, envy, jealousy and hatred are directly manifested.

   On the other side of the player tunnel, Liu Xiu looked at the perverse beast while reading the opponent's player detection report.

"Ron Artest, 25 years old, 201 cm, 111 kg, SF/PF, ability rating 93, offense 89, defense 98, three-pointer 80, mid-range shot 73, layup 94, speed 90, strength 93, Bounce 89, Flexibility 91…

  Averaged 23.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.1 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 2.9 fouls…

   Shooting 49.9% from the field, 35.8% from three, 1.5 three-pointers per game, 62.2% from close range, 4 from close range, 70.1% from the free throw line…”

   During the All-Star weekend, Liu Xiu didn't notice Artest.

  The eastern perimeter All-Stars include Iverson, Carter, and McGrady, three superstar perimeter players who are in their prime, as well as Hill, James, Wade... There are too many dazzling stars on the eastern perimeter.

   But aside from popularity and strength, Liu Xiu feels that Artest's role on the court will not be worse than Carter and McGrady.

   The offensive end is really incomparable. It looks like Artest's shooting percentage is good, but if he needs to increase his scoring output, he will not be able to handle it. The highest single-game score this season is 33 points.

   But Artest's offense also has his advantages - strong scoring stability.

   He has similarities with O'Neal, Randolph, and James. He eats his physical condition, and his shooting condition and feel are a little less than that of the outside shot. It's about equal to... Three steps are really the little emperor of three steps?

   Liu Xiu recalled that he remembered that James' shooting rate this season was 47%, and his three-point shooting rate seemed to be 35%, and his average three-point shooting rate was similar.

   If Artest takes more shots per game, his shooting percentage is estimated to drop to about the same as James.

   The difference in technology... Liu Xiu feels strange, he thinks that at this stage, it seems that Artest's technology is better.

  The defensive end Artest is amazing, the deluxe version of the little emperor's defense peak?

   Liu Xiu thought of Leonard. Artest won the best defensive player at the age of 24, and so did Leonard.

But there is a big difference. From the very beginning, Artest had to rely on himself to face the top outside and even the inside. At the beginning, Leonard had the Troika and the Spurs system to help him bear the pressure. After leaving the Spurs , Leonard never took a defense again.

   In this time and space, without the influence of the Auburn Hills Palace incident, the probability of Artest being the best defensive player in Lianzhuang is very high. In terms of intuitive feeling, Liu Xiu thinks that Artest's comprehensive defense may be stronger.

   Being targeted by such a fierce defender, the warden felt a little excited... ahhh, it's a little scared.

  Unfortunately, it is Rahim or the extrajudicial fanatic who is going to face Artest.

   The height difference between wearing shoes is 10 cm, so he shouldn't let the warden guard him, right? Impossible impossible.

   Next came Dale Davis, Jamal Tinsley, and Reggie Miller.

   Then it is the home team's turn to enter the field.

  Liu Xiu put away the distracting thoughts. After the DJ incarnation of the rapper began to read his name, he led his teammates to run out of the player tunnel one by one, and the fans on the scene entered the crazy cheering mode.

   This manic atmosphere shocked even the defending champion Pacers players.

  Tianzun felt the manic atmosphere of the scene, and his mood was agitated.

   Before he even entered the stadium, he felt the changes in the arena, and the fans were extraordinarily crazy!

   That feeling, as if you were at the Palace of Auburn Hills?

  Since Utah Shuangsha retired, the only Devil's home field recognized by Tianzun is the Palace of Auburn Hills.

   Now, he feels the same way at Rose Garden Arena!

  Although I have seen this statement on the news, it is truly shocking to feel it in person.

   but not important!

   No matter what the devil is at home or not, he doesn't care, he is the MVP of the finals!

   After entering the venue and the lights on the scene turned on, Liu Xiu received a system prompt that the task was coming.

   "The sharp-edged person is always envied by others, but the delicate rose always has sharp thorns. The series of tasks of the blooming rose: The wood show is triggered in the forest.

   Goal 1: The host must score the highest in the game.

   Goal 2: The host needs to be higher than Ron Artest in steals and blocks in this game.

   Goal 3: The host needs to help the team win this game.

   Bonus: Strength +1 (Advanced). "

  The wood is beautiful in the forest, and there will be strong winds and rains.

   This, Liu Xiu has been feeling.

   And he also has the BUFF of 'Reverse Conqueror', which is never lacking.

The    task came, but he was very happy.

   is the difficulty of the task... the highest score in the game...

   "Indiana Pacers, 37 wins and 15 losses, 95.5 points per game, 91 points per game, 44.7% shooting from the field, 43.3% shooting limit for opponents..."

   If the Pacers were not seriously injured this season, it is estimated that they would be able to push opponents to below 90 points per game like the Spurs and Pistons.

   Goal 2 is really a bet on luck. Goal 3 is not because Liu Xiu is arrogant and proud. Tonight, they are indeed in the right place and the right place.

   Needless to say, the reward for this mission is a big reward, and it is impossible to get it without 300,000 or 500,000 healing points.

   But it would be even better if it could be replaced by three bouncing attribute cards.

   But for now, he has a desire to continue to improve his strength.

  Artest's barefoot height of 198 cm + 93 strength + 111 kg weight is stronger than the current James' body strength.

   This makes the warden, who is 188 cm in height with bare feet + 92 in strength + 99 kg in weight, feel a sense of crisis.

   Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you couldn't handle a mere perimeter?

  Thinking of this, Liu Xiu's expression froze, and her heart hurriedly said "Bah ah ah".

   Defending Artest is impossible, absolutely impossible.

   Before the game, some players of the two teams exchanged greetings, but they were not very enthusiastic.

   Even the 'Rose Bay Seven' who used to have a very good relationship did not have too many close exchanges on the field because of the hostile atmosphere.

   Devil's home, not my enemy!

   The final preparation time before the game passed quickly, and the game was about to start. Liu Xiu received a system prompt to copy the talent.

   Tonight's opponent, he didn't dare to be careless. After reading the opposing lineup and player detection reports, he chose to copy Payton.

Teammate: Gary Payton, characteristic transformation talent: block flow, bonus effect: 1. When the host's perimeter defense changes direction and breaks through, the first traverse can be activated at the fastest speed. The second change of direction can ignore the inertia brought by the previous traverse, and can start the traverse at the fastest speed; 2. When the host attempts to steal, if the steal fails, the traverse or retreat will start at the fastest speed. A defensive round can be triggered once. "

Between    opponents, Reggie Miller, Tinsley, and Artest, Liu Xiu hesitated, and finally chose that man.

   Opponent: Ron Artest, match 60%…”

  60% match, surprise! This means that the copied talent will definitely not be residual blood, and it will be a talent suitable for him!

"Character transformation talent: Beast, bonus effect: 1. Strength +2, 2. It is determined that the host's explosive power is lower than the static strength, and the static strength reaches the top level, the explosive power is lower than the top level, and the host's explosive power is temporarily increased to the top level (90 ), 3. When the single defense force is dominant, the defensive deterrence is greatly improved.”

   Liu Xiu: Convex

   The two teams came to the field as starters.

The starting lineup of the Trail Blazers remains the same, and the Pacers sent the starting lineup of Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace.

  Jermaine O'Neal continues to miss due to injury.

This year, the Pacers have a lot of injuries in the frontcourt. O'Neal's absence rate is close to 50%. Second center Jeff Foster missed 15 games before the All-Star weekend. Rookie center David Harrison missed 20 games at the beginning of the season. , backup power forward Crowhill missed 15 games...

   Even Artest has missed 10 games.

   Fans joked that the biggest obstacle to Artest's consecutive best defensive player is the number of attendances, and the attendance is more than 70 times, which is basically stable.

And what Liu Xiu thought when he saw the injury situation of the Pacers - worthy of being a person who survived under the veterinary team's butcher's knife, played power forward and center in the Blazers for all these years without breaking down, the Pacers are mere The team's injury curse can't help Tianzun!

   At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game on time and threw the ball into the air.

  Kwame Brown took off hard, narrowly beat Tianzun to win the jump ball, and the Blazers took the lead!

   "Oh...haha..."

  Kwame Brown couldn't control his mouth when he was excited. After winning the jump ball, he rushed to the front court with two screams.

  Tianzun was taken aback and was passed by Kwame Brown. Thanks to Artest's brave confrontation behind him, he gave Tianzun, who turned around and chased after him, time to make up for it.

   Back to the basket, Tianzun looked at the referee with the words in his eyes: Why didn't the whistle sound? You took your whistle in your mouth when this high school student was yelling... eh eh eh, don't do it, I just see you as handsome, if you don't show it, you won't show it, why are you scaring people...

Kwame Brown's fast break failed, and Raheem, who cut in from the flank, was also blocked by the Pacers' quick switch to supplement the defense. Payton received the ball without passing random, and steadily advanced to the frontcourt, handing it over to the top arc. Liu Xiu of the ball.

   Liu Xiu received the ball and Tinsley stuck to Liu Xiu.

Tingsley, who was born in streetball, has a fast hand and averages 2 steals per game. Liu Xiu carefully turned his body slightly to protect the ball, and felt the strength and explosiveness after the bonus. The bonus of 'talent' does not need to be familiar with , as if it were natural in itself.

   Liu Xiu flashed a moment of distraction, and immediately returned his attention to the current matchup.

  Tinsley has a clear defensive purpose, limiting shots, interfering with the starting speed, and creating better defensive opportunities for the teammates behind.

   Liu Xiu said: "For God's sake, I kindly remind you that it is the right choice to let me break through."

The    translation of the accent-style trash talk failed to make Tinsley back away, on the contrary, Tinsley pressed even tighter.

   Liu Xiu took a step away, turned around and faced the basket, Tinsley followed closely, Liu Xiu made a breakthrough to the right front before being attached again!

  Tingsley clamped his arms to avoid fouls with his hands, quickly moved to the left, and stuck to Liu Xiu. The defensive execution was very good.

He has confidence in himself. Although the tonnage of 191 cm + 88 kg is not as good as Liu Xiu, he has the confidence to limit Liu Xiu, who is not very explosive, from starting... "Ah"... When the two confronted each other, Tinsley could not help but let out a cry. shouting!

   was not the kind of impact he expected from the 'cotton ligament' that he attached to with his lateral movement speed. At that moment, Tinsley was hit and his feet were off the ground!

   The live fans who were cheering for Liu Xiu's breakthrough were immediately ignited, screaming and cheering boiled over!

When Tinsley called out with an 'ah', Liu Xiu just knocked away Tinsley and rushed into the three-point line. Tinsley, who had collided with Liu Xiu's half of his body, was taken by Liu Xiu's impact and his whole body was 180. Du turned around, lost his balance and rushed forward, subconsciously reaching out to hold Liu Xiu's jersey... "Beep"... The referee's whistle sounded, Liu Xiu took a step and successfully braked and stopped.

   It's not that Liu Xiu's emergency stop ability has skyrocketed. Although he did temporarily increase his explosive power to 90, his emergency stop effect has become better. The main reason is that he "hangs" a person on him, and "assist" him to make an emergency stop.

   Although Tinsley, who grabbed Liu Xiu's jersey, didn't fall flat on the floor, he was dragged in the air by Liu Xiu, who rushed up!

   Seeing such a picture, the screams and cheers of the fans at the scene continued to boil and could not stop at all! And the players on the field collectively sprayed swear words involuntarily!

   Just now, Artest, who had shrunk in to help Tinsley to help defend Liu Xiu, almost tripped his left foot and fell with his right foot when he saw Liu Xiu 'fly' with Tinsley.

   It's not that I don't know that Liu Xiu is powerful. The whole basketball world knows that Liu Xiu is a monster of strength, the kind who can catch a rebound and catch a center.

   But this time it was too exaggerated!

   The referee was stunned, thanks to his whistling instinct.

  Similar to this scene, the referee has not seen it before, O'Neal's performance of hanging people dunks from time to time.

   But O'Neal is a center! Liu Xiu is the defender!

After Liu Xiu stopped, Tinsley fell to the ground with his lower body. Because of inertia, he slid forward a little bit. He was lying behind Liu Xiu with a panic-stricken look on his face, and he was holding Liu Xiu tightly in his hands. jersey.

   After Liu Xiu stood still, the frenzied cheers of the fans at the scene waited for two seconds.

   He stretched out his hand and pulled at the back collar, pulling it up and shaking.

   Tinsley recovered his senses and quickly let go, and then his upper body also fell to the floor.

   The referee who reacted quickly ran over, fearing that Liu Xiu would do irrational things when he was angry.

  Liu Xiu's neck was finally 'released', she tidied up her jersey, glanced at Tinsley and said, "I told you, it's a better choice to get out of the way and let me go."

   The frenzied cheers of the fans at the scene just cooled down a little, and they boiled again because of Liu Xiu's action!

   At this time, Tinsley could not wait to find a crack to crawl in. Even if Liu Xiu's language was extremely lethal and insulting, he just grabbed the hand of the Heavenly Venerate who came to help him and got up, waiting for the referee's judgment.

  Reggie Miller loves to squirt so much, so shut up at this time. In this situation, when he squirts his opponent, it is his teammates who are embarrassed.

   But there is one man who is different…

  Artest's face was full of 'I'm angry', and he walked up to Liu Xiu swearing.

   The three referees rushed up because they were worried that Liu Xiu would make a move, but this time it was not in vain, so they quickly stopped Artest and Liu Xiu.

   After reacting, the teammates who rushed towards Liu Xiu excitedly didn't know what to do when they were excited. They just came up to help and scolded the street? Peyton liked it the most, and opened his mouth like a machine gun and scolded Artest back.

   The other four players of the Pacers originally wanted to ignore this matter quickly, but the team's perimeter core rushed up inexplicably and had to surround them. Their main idea was to hold Artest.

   At this time, only Artest was 'very angry', the others were calm, and Payton just scolded the street. The referee successfully separated the two teams, but his head was still big.

   Originally thought that Tianzun was the former Blazers star anyway, and the public opinion atmosphere in Portland was quite friendly to Tianzun. There should be no conflicts in tonight's game.

  The game has only started thirteen seconds!

  The elusive warden, the eccentric Artest, the other starters of the two teams are very impulsive... The referee thinks that tonight, be careful and be careful.

  Because of Pacers coach Carlisle's vigorous argument, the referees went to the technical table to watch the replay of the ball just now.

   The final penalty, Tinsley level 1 malicious foul, the Trail Blazers two free throws!

  Carlisle struggled to no avail, expressed his dissatisfaction, and went back to the bench.

   At least no more stunts for Artest...

   And this is why Maurice Cheeks is still dissatisfied after getting two free throws.

   No, when the penalty came out, the fans on the scene were not happy.

   Artest's provocative behavior should obviously be given to the technical offender.

The referee can't do anything either. Jermaine O'Neal, one of the three major players on the Pacers team, couldn't play. He was missing a top offensive and defensive power forward who averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. It's back-to-back, but the Pacers are back-to-back on the road.

   Now that the Pacers have given the opponent two free throws and one throw, and another technical foul, how are the Pacers going to start?

  The referee could only withstand the pressure from the jumping Maurice Cheeks.

   Liu Xiu was taking the time to adjust her breathing rhythm to calm her mind.

   After his teammates kept 'Oumai Karma', Liu Xiu was notified by the referee and walked to the free throw line.

   He rearranged the jersey, let alone the jersey before the sponsor, the quality is really good.

   Warden's game, there are always surprises! Came very early tonight! Fans cheered loudly again when they saw Liu Xiu walk to the free throw line.

  Liu Xiu made two free throws, 2-0, and the Blazers continued to attack!

  The Pacers didn't take advantage of the dead ball just now to make substitutions. At this time, the morale of changing first will be even worse, and their starting lineup is their current strongest lineup. Substitution means weakening their own strength.

  The Trail Blazers served in the frontcourt, Payton received the serve and was ready to continue to Liu Xiu.

   But Tinsley changed his defensive style and aggressively went around the front defender Liu Xiu to catch the ball.

   The two opponents have a 210+ cm inside line, and their defenses are online. They also understand Randolph's style of play very well. Payton passed the ball to Raheem, who was leaning on Artest.

  Rahim, who has always taken advantage of his strength in the small forward position, was rarely defeated in the confrontation. Facing Artest's aggressive defense, Rahim took the initiative to protect the ball with his back, turned left and walked to the baseline!

The Pacers team's defense began to run. Artest was not passed by Raheem's turn, but stuck to him. Raheem had no room for emergency stop jumpers. The insider Tianzun was ready to block Raheem. Mu forcibly attacked the frame, and the Pacers were 90% sure to defend the ball.

  At the same time, he was also guarding the left lane…

   Sure enough!

  Rahim hits the bottom line and makes an oblique pass to the left top corner of the free throw line.

  Liu Xiu just moved from the top arc area to this position, and the Pacers players noticed it!

   But Liu Xiu caught the ball and turned around to smash Tingsley into the interior faster than the Pacers expected!

The explosive power has been increased to 90. In terms of the improvement of the starting speed, there is no "strongest first step" to start directly at the fastest speed, but the improvement of the starting speed is still obvious, and he now has a start First class.

The game is a matter of lightning flashes. The Pacers' defensive speed was a bit slower. When Liu Xiu entered the basket, Dale Davis could only use confrontation to influence Liu Xiu, but the two faced each other. At that time, Dale Davis gritted his teeth and took a breath...

  Liu Xiu scored a throw in the confrontation, scored 4 points in the opening round, and the Blazers led 4-0!

   Dale Davis picked up the ball with his teeth and sent it out. In his opinion, the impact of Liu Xiu's attack was no worse than that of Artest!

   He looked at Liu Xiu, who had retreated, and felt that he was a little thinner than when he left the Blazers... Oh... It's because the body fat percentage has decreased and the muscle has increased... That is to say, he has improved again?

  Is there any reason!

   He thinks it's better to be teammates with the warden. Staying with the warden every day, the warden's progress can't be seen all of a sudden. Seeing him once a few months after changing teams is a blow.

   Offensive and defensive transition, Payton and Reggie Miller continued to spit at each other. In the ears of those on the court, the voices of the two were noisier than the voices of nearly 20,000 people at the scene.

  Tingsley advanced to the front court, and Liu Xiu was guarding the top arc.

   Well done!

   He was born in streetball with strong self-confidence and self-esteem. He wants revenge... The future boss wants the ball, so give it to the future boss first.

   After passing the ball to Artest, Tings glared at Liu Xiu with the look of 'good luck to you kid' and opened up the space.

"Jamal Tinsley, 27 years old, 191 cm, 88 kg, PG, PG 81...Averaged 8.6 points, 4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2 steals...39.6% shooting from the field, 37.7% from 3-point range, 3 Hits: 1.5…”

   Liu Xiu, who was glared at him, pouted and followed Tinsley to the flank.

  If O'Neal Jr. can play, and the Pacers can shoot and pass the ball in their five starters, it's really the strongest team in the league.

  Artest singles Rahim, strong inside!

  Rahim has an excellent top defense, his footsteps are decent, and he has not lost his position.

After Artest dashed into the free throw line, he accelerated to the right front, Kwame Brown moved to the right of the three-second zone, Artest grabbed the ball after landing on his right foot, and took a step forward to the left. Take off after your feet land, throw yourself into the air first, then find the basket for a layup...

   Hit!

   Fierce!

   After scoring the goal, Artest almost fell, and after standing up, he roared twice at Liu Xiu who ran in, his arms stretched out his biceps and ran back.

   Liu Xiu was not affected, Artest's provocation always gave him a feeling of 'what are you looking at'.

   But Artest's attacking steps just now... European steps? No, it didn't play the role that the European step should have. The role it played was to create space for acceleration when it was unable to start attacking the frame at the proper speed in the face of fierce confrontation!

   Being able to make good use of your physical advantages is also an ability.

   Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attack.

  The Pacers have a lot of pressure on defense.

  Tianzun, Dale Davis, the pair of twin towers and Liu Xiu have not been together for that long, but the more they are, the more they feel that Liu Xiu and they are not the same player.

   They consider themselves geniuses, and they think Liu Xiu is the kind of real epoch-making player. If the topic is related to talent, they can naturally put Liu Xiu in the same ranks as Jordan, Magic and others.

Like tonight, Liu Xiu's breakthrough was so powerful, and his off-ball attack was so sharp. The two of them didn't feel surprised, but felt a lot of pressure, but it's all like this, and the solution is simple - Liu Xiu can also take precautions without the ball. .

  The players made such a decision independently, and Carlisle on the sidelines did not feel inappropriate.

  Defense is firm and purposeful. That's right. If you hesitate, you won't be able to do anything well. As long as it's not one-on-one defense, there's an element of gambling.

   The Pacers made this defensive adjustment, expecting poor mid-rangers from the Blazers, but their expectations fell through. Payton, Raheem, and Randolph all performed well in mid-range shots tonight!

In the next time, each of the three made a mid-range shot. Liu Xiu took the opportunity to attack the frame to cause a foul and made two free throws again. Kwame Brown made a dunk. The team scored 14 points!

   However, although the Pacers' defensive performance is not good, the offense is very good!

Artest's ferocious thrust forced the Blazers to shrink their defense. Reggie Miller scored a long two, Tinsley scored a three, and Dale Davis had a catch and layup 2 +1.

   At 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, Artest broke through to a close-range layup and hit a layup, raising his personal score to 4 points. The Pacers also took this to catch up with the score to 12 to 14!

  The defending champion is the defending champion!

   That kind of start, although purely accidental, is a huge morale blow for any team.

   But the Pacers just withstood the blow, made good use of Artest's momentum, and slowly brought the morale back!

   Offense and defense transition, the Blazers did not call a timeout and continued to attack.

   Carlisle is a bit regretful on the sidelines. They relied on Artest to hold up the situation with 4 points and 2 assists in the half quarter. If the opponent is forced to call a timeout, then the morale blow at the beginning can be completely offset.

   However, since you can't get the B prize, let's attack the higher A prize!

  Carlisle put away his regrets and looked forward to the players being able to defend this round and then scoring in the next round!

   In that case, it will not only offset the morale blow of Liu Xiu's brutal breakthrough at the beginning, but in turn suppress the morale of the Trail Blazers!

   Liu Xiu received the ball from the top arc, and his defender had changed from Tinsley to Anthony Johnson, who came off the bench.

  The current players on the court, the Trail Blazers did not make substitutions, Anthony Johnson replaced Reggie Miller, and there were no substitutions in other positions. Tinsley went to guard Payton.

Last summer, Anthony Johnson, who received an average of $3 million a year and a four-year contract of $12 million in total, is the Pacers' best defender on the backline. He is 191 cm and 91 kg. He has rich game experience and has played in 2002 and 2002. Two finals in 2003.

   But he is very nervous now, and he has fought against Liu Xiu a few times, feeling very sour.

   Fortunately, there is someone behind him... He saw that Liu Xiu actually passed it on!

The Pacers' defensive formation was all set up to prevent Liu Xiu from breaking through. As a result, Liu Xiu sent the ball straight. Randolph, who was at close range on the left side of the three-second zone, received the ball from the face frame and broke through. Davis, took off after entering the three-second zone, and hit the basket against Tianzun's supplementary defense!

   Carlisle, who was still thinking about whether to learn from the warden, said, "We didn't expect to be able to tie the score so quickly" immediately called a timeout.

   is just so decisive!

   6 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal in the half quarter!

   The increase in explosive power is really cool!

  In terms of technique, he is confident, and now he is definitely much stronger than Maggette, James, Artest and other players who rely on the body for 90% of their offense. Discussing him feels like humiliating him.

But his explosive power and explosive acceleration are really bad... He is also curious about his explosive acceleration and explosive power, but he knows the bullet speed. After getting the 'Xiao Bawang's knee pads', he knows that he wears the 'Xiao Bawang's knee pads' ', the speed of the projectile was increased from 76 to the equivalent of the bounce.

When the idea of ​​   came up, the system prompt came!

   "Under the bonus of Talent: Beast, the explosive power is increased from 79 to 90, driven by the explosive power, and the explosive acceleration is increased from 81 to 86."

The bullet speed of 76, the explosive power of 79, the explosive acceleration of 81, coupled with a net height of 188 cm and a net weight of 99.5 kg... Liu Xiu feels that if he does not have the 'Knee Pads of the Bully' or the ability to replicate his talent, what he does properly is A pure floor flow.

   He first put aside this painful rating and focused on the game.

   Liu Xiu felt that if Randolph's breakthrough just now counted as an assist, it is a pity that these days, even if Randolph's catching and attacking the frame was so smooth, it would not be counted as an assist.

I'm a little jealous of Turtle's era, when two dribbles can be counted as assists... But the rules for assisting statistics have completely changed, and it will take more than ten years. There are some things that I really can't envy... But at that time he should not have retired, or Have the opportunity to experience drops.

   Liu Xiu quickly reviewed the half-quarter of the game. Although the Pacers' defensive effect was not good during this period, the defense itself was excellent.

  For example, in the defense of counterattacks, the Trail Blazers only got two counterattacks in the half quarter, and they have not yet scored.

   The Pacers were able to stabilize after such a start, and it wasn't just Artest who depended on him.

   Really depends on someone... Jim Carrey!

  16 to 12, with only a 4-point lead, the opponent still has the ball when he comes back from a timeout, Liu Xiu feels... thief excited!

   Little O'Neal can't fight, he actually has a little regret.

   It is certainly gratifying to have a greater strength advantage, but regret is also inevitable.

  At present, the initiative is still on their side of the Trail Blazers, but the Pacers have the strength to achieve a comeback... Liu Xiu can enjoy the fierce game again.

In the first 50 seconds of the 100-second short pause, the players drink water, wipe sweat, and adjust. After 50 seconds, it is time for the coach to make adjustments. In fact, the 100-second short pause is more than 100 seconds. Usually, it can be dragged for ten or twenty seconds. Players walk a little slower, and they can drag for ten seconds...

   Liu Xiu heard Maurice Cheeks calling his name, as well as Fred Jones, Derek Anderson, Randolph, McDyess.

   After Payton and Raheem were replaced, he used McDyess to strengthen his mid-range shot. Liu Xiu felt that this was a good operation.

  Fred Jones and Derrick Anderson, the two most consistent spot-up 3-point shooters on the team, are also good rotations.

Eh?

and many more!

  Who will defend Artest?

   It can't be Randolph!

   Liu Xiu has a bad feeling...

After reading the list of players to appear, Maurice Cheeks arranged: "Zach, you stay close, and help hold the person who comes in, Antonio, I'll leave the defense to you, Fred, with you. Tight opposing pitcher, Derek, you're on the flank..."

  Speaking of this, Maurice Cheeks paused, stepped forward and patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder: "Warden, the strongest outside line on the opposite side is handed over to you again!"

   "You really do this when you ride a horse!" The warden burst out in Chinese!

   The timeout came back and the Pacers attacked.

The Pacers replaced Eddie Gill, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Austin Crowhill, and Rasheed Wallace's lineup.

  Eddie Gill receives the serve and advances.

  This player was quite famous at the beginning of the century. He was undrafted in 2000, and he was undrafted in that draft... He really has no strength.

   But the 8 millionth total score in NBA history was taken by Eddie Gill!

   Therefore, he also likes to mention Mr. 8 million points.

After Mr.   80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000nnnhnnnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh alreadydnd alreadyd2drry.

  Because Liu Xiu is guarding the top arc!

   This picture, the fans on the scene were not so surprised. The word 'once-more', Morris Cheeks, made Liu Xiu feel the bitterness of being a worker, but the Blazers players and the fans on the scene are no strangers.

   Before playing the Cavaliers, the warden has begun to assume such a role!

  Although it was bitter, Liu Xiu immediately threw himself into his defensive role as soon as he stepped on the court.

  Artest received the ball, Liu Xiu immediately took a step away and shouted: "Hurry up and throw! Don't waste time!"

   Artest's violent temper, can he bear such contempt?

   immediately grabbed the ball that he had just started to dribble, and Liu Xiu, who had been ready for a long time, immediately jumped up and confronted Artest as soon as Artest grabbed the ball!

   Relying on the start of 86 temporarily boosted by the talent of 'Beast'!

   Changed the defensive target, Artest may have passed, but Liu Xiu... He was against Liu Xiu, took off, and made a strong three-point shot...

Liu Xiu gave a confrontation, but Artest's explosive power is at the top of the league. Liu Xiu failed to completely restrain Artest from taking off, but this is already the biggest effect Liu Xiu can bring to Artest's perimeter shooting. interference.

   However, Artest is not a nerve knife type player, and his three-pointer is not that strong. Liu Xiu's defense with clear plans and steps is enough!

   Artest's three-pointer is crooked and short this time!

  The ball hit the outer edge of the right side of the basket, iron!

   The retracted Derek Anderson grabbed the rebound and fought back!

  Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and then pass...Fred Jones took a step from the free throw line, gliding and dunking to score two points!

   It's really cool to have a veteran teammate who knows everything! Liu Xiu felt that his assist was all due to the all-around teacher's fast break and long pass.

   But now Liu Xiu is even more excited that he can successfully interfere with Artest's perimeter shooting!

   To defend against Artest, what he fears most is not Artest's beast-level breakthrough, and then the little emperor who can change his footsteps more than layup?

   What he is worried about is Artest's rather steady three-pointer!

   He has a net height of 188 cm. It is really difficult for him to guard against players with a net height of 198 cm.

   But the opponent's perimeter shooting does not have the ability to make strong shots...

   Warden: Am I the nemesis of such stars as James and Artest? and many more! Next time the daring head coach of the Clippers will not let the warden guard Maggette!
