Healing Basketball Chapter 430

Chapter 430 430. Spike! (6800 words)

Artest came to the front court with an expression of 'I'm angry'.

In the past, when he was angry, his opponents would be afraid of him, but this is not the case tonight.

Artest asked for the ball from Mr. 8 million points, and the latter hurriedly passed it.

Opponents are not afraid, but teammates who have no team status are very afraid.

The furious Artest, the singles is definitely not a three-pointer from the outside to show his toughness.

Tank Breakthrough!

The fans on the scene started screaming.

The scream was not for Artest of course.

Hold on!

Liu Xiu confronted Artest near the top corner on the right side of the free throw line and held it!

The screams at the scene immediately boiled!

Standing on the sidelines, Rahim flicked his hand and jumped to cheer for the warden!

Just know that this kind of savage collision player, they can defend!

Liu Xiu's footsteps were much faster than Rahim's. Artest's half-finished European step application skills with insufficient skills could not get rid of Liu Xiu at all, and he was stuck by Liu Xiu.

And what makes Artest most stunned is that the strength of the opposite warden seems to be no less than his!

Artest, who failed to change direction, panicked and was forced to stop the ball on the right sideline of the three-second zone. McDyess' pincer attack arrived in time.

The Trail Blazers defense began to run. Fred Jones and Derek Anderson cut off the flank passing and receiving line. Artest actually had no idea of scoring the ball on the flank. A ball hit the backboard, but the butcher beat Tianzun to guard the defensive rebound!

Offensive and defensive transition, in the wild cheers and screams of the fans, Liu Xiu came to the frontcourt, and it was not Anthony Johnson who was guarding between Liu Xiu and the basket, but Artest!

Rahim is not here, Artest will definitely switch over, Liu Xiu is mentally prepared for this.

But it's impossible to keep Raheem on the court. You can't let Raheem go to defend the defender, it will be much worse than defending Artest.

What should come will always come, little Ci Shiping, the warden of this code is fearless!

Received a pass from Derek Anderson, and Liu Xiu gestured - Brother McDyess, help!

Liu Xiu used McDyess to pick and roll to attack.

McDyess has a solid pick-and-roll, and has a strong ability to dismantle and find lines.

Liu Xiu encountered Tian Zun's defense after breaking through the pick-and-roll. The 8 million points man on the flank was shrinking. Liu Xiu chose to speed up and rush to the depths to score the ball!

McDyce came to the left sideline of the three-second zone to receive the ball!

Artest was dismantled by McDyess, turned and stuck behind him, Crowhill made it up, McDyess scored the ball from the front, butcher caught the ball with both hands and dunked the ball into the basket!

Finally, there is such a dismantling and then catching the ball. It is not an ordinary pick-and-roll and an open shot, but a continuation of the pick-and-roll attack. McDyess was moved to tears.

Tianzun also scolded the street, but Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll progressed by leaps and bounds, but he was not surprised, this is the warden he is familiar with.

Tianzun misses O'Neal now. If he and O'Neal can switch indefinitely on the inside, how can the warden threaten the inside so recklessly?

Kobe couldn't score in the three-second zone in the finals last season!

But O'Neal is not here now!

Not only has the overall defensive level of the interior dropped by a notch, but the offense has also been affected.

When the Pacers attacked, Tianzun caught the ball and singled McDyess, turned around and missed a straight-arm jumper, Randolph protected the defensive rebound!

Now it needs a star to open the situation with singles. Artest is restrained by the warden, and O'Neal is not there, so Tianzun can only try it.

Unfortunately, Tianzun has been unable to get up on the offensive end.

He was able to get C last season. Last season, Tianzun's singles score at a necessary moment in the finals helped the Pacers win the championship and also helped him win the finals MVP.

However, last summer, Tianzun noticed that when the new season started, O'Neal would only be 26 years old, and Artest would only be 25 years old. O'Neal was already an average player of 20+ per game, although his performance in the playoffs It's a bit of a stretch. Last year's playoffs only hit 42% from the field. He needed him to come to C, but there is still Artest on the outside who has a better offense and more stable scoring performance in the playoffs than in the regular season. These two people have already Enough is enough, the two continue to improve, and with a third main scoring point, the ball is not enough.

Tianzun, who was about to turn 30 at the time, chose to simplify his offense and devote himself to the great cause of defense.

At his age, he has been practicing simple offense all summer, and he has also firmly implemented this style of play in the first 50 games of the new season. Although he helped the Pacers to play a more stable defense, O'Neal was injured again and again, and Tianzun also supported him. On the inside defense, but on the offensive end, although the technical movements are still possible, the offensive efficiency plummets!

This is not compared to the same functional Raheem. Rahim's functional positioning is to respond to the scorer + singles at necessary moments, but to reduce the right to shoot, reduce opportunities, and adjust the focus of scoring methods.

Tianzun's singles are really degraded.

Offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu made an emergency stop jumper on the right side of the free throw line by covering the top arc, and the Pacers avoided the dilemma of being widened to 10 points.

It was the Pacers' turn to attack. Artest and Tianzun were unable to single out. Anthony Johnson tried to organize a team attack. The tactical movement was smooth and the execution was excellent. As a result, the ball finally came to the left bottom line in the middle distance. Crowhill, who was vacated after covering for his teammates.

Despite being a white player, Crowhill has shot an astounding 21 percent from mid-range this season.

This is better than last season, when he played 77 games and shot 11.1% from mid-range.

Both O'Neal shot 23.2 percent from the field.

received the ball in the middle distance, Crowhill short-circuited for a while, not knowing what to do, he hesitated for a while, the ball was taken away!

Liu Xiu, who came in quietly from the left sideline, completed the steal!

Liu Xiu wanted to counterattack after grabbing the ball. Crowhill's offense was astoundingly rough. His career hit rate was 41% so far, but he defended very well and reacted quickly. He immediately hugged Liu Xiu and committed a tactical foul.

Carlisle called timeout again!

After a few rounds without a point, Carlisle's head was big.

It was an accident that Artest's breakthrough was blocked by Liu Xiu, but the most important thing, Carlisle believes that the role player lineup is aging + the game style is not adapted to the accelerated rhythm.

This season, if Shaquille O'Neal and Artest stay healthy in the playoffs, Carlisle is confident that they are the best team in the league...as long as Artest doesn't get ahead.

But after this season, they have to make a change, which is why Big Bird and Jim Carrey did not persuade Reggie Miller to play for two more years when he chose to retire, even if Reggie Miller is still in the league Top catch-up pitcher.

Reggie Miller's retirement represents a signal of the team's 'regeneration'. Not all teams can complete the inheritance like Robinson and Duncan, Kareem and Magic. Most teams need a clear signal at this time. .

With such a signal, the players in the team can make it clear that the team is now built around who and who.

Just like now, although Tianzun is the FMVP, everyone thinks that the Pacers are Reggie Miller's team, and the team also has the same perception.

It is imperative to rejuvenate the team's role players. Tianzun is at its peak, O'Neal Jr. and Artest are entering the golden period of their careers, so they must seize the opportunity.

Cultivate a few core players and wait for three to five years, so it can't be wasted.

When entered the timeout, Carlisle's thoughts diverged for a while, and when the players returned to the bench, he regained his senses and regained his attention. If the offense couldn't be settled, he strengthened his defense and increased the number of players who could shoot unreasonably.

Drag and hit!

The game is still long, so you can slowly look for opportunities.

After winning the championship, Carlisle became more calm in coaching.

The pause came back, and the Pacers sent a lineup of Tinsley, Anthony Johnson, Artest, Rasheed Wallace, and Jeff Foster.

Abandoned Crowhill's ability to flank screen, offensive rebound, rush, cut-in response and fast break, and replaced Jeff Foster to enhance the rim protection, it is estimated that Dale Davis will be replaced later To further strengthen the defense... Liu Xiu walked onto the court and saw through the opponent's adjustment ideas at a glance.

It is easy to understand the adjustment of the other party, but Liu Xiu thinks this is a good operation, and there are no obvious flaws if there are no bright spots.

But... Liu Xiu looked at Momonga.

Fred Jones was replaced, Momomoka played ahead of schedule!

The Trail Blazers continued to attack, and Momoko held the ball and made a three-pointer in the face of Tinsley's defense!

23 to 12, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 11 points and played a wave of 7 to 0!

Offensive and defensive transition, Tinsley advanced to the front court and saw Tianzun playing against McDyess and Artest against Liu Xiu, so he chose to do it himself.

Tinsley faced Momo's defense, and hit a big drop shot unhindered to the left of the three-second zone!

The self-proclaimed strongest backup in history, Momomoko, and the showdown with the Miami streetball king begins!

Momonga's defense against Tinsley was disastrous. Tinsley played as a scoring star.

But that's exactly what Morris-Cheeks wanted.

Kill the Pacers with one stick...Even if O'Neal Jr. can't play tonight, it's not enough for the Blazers unless the opponent is in poor form + they explode.

The opponent seeks stability and waits for an opportunity. Maurice Cheeks can guess that the Pacers' tactical system is very sophisticated and their play is upright. .

Carlisle wanted to reduce the offensive pressure on Artest and Tianzun by strengthening the defense. Maurice Cheeks chose to help Carlisle and give the opponent an offensive breakthrough, allowing Tinsley to score in singles, allowing Artest to score. Sturt and Tianzun could 'rest' better on offense.

Although Momonga can't prevent Tinsley, Tinsley can't prevent Momonga either!

The game has entered a stage where the two teams of point guards are facing each other!

Maurice Cheeks made a bold adjustment and caught Carlisle by surprise.

Carlisle did not expect that the opponent would choose to fight like this, but he really didn't know how to respond for a while.

Under the circumstance that Momonga scored well in singles, Tinsley grabbed Momonga's point to play, propped up the attack, and played not badly. Carlisle really couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.

Momonga and Tinsley are evenly matched, but they are not the ones who affect the situation.

The shooting success rate of the wing shooter, the lethality of the cutting player, and the rebounding and protection... are the most important things!

The Pacers have a bigger advantage in 3-point shooting, but the Trail Blazers have done a better job cutting the rim!

The advantage of the Blazers - Liu Xiu!

In terms of impact, Artest is definitely stronger, but Artest can't take advantage of his advantage without the ball.

Artest, James, Maggette players have a common problem - poor awareness without the ball.

When there is no ball in his hand, Artest can only stand outside the three-point line and wait to catch the ball, or move to close range to rush for offensive rebounds. Control, cut into the frame, move and shoot...

In the second half of the first quarter, Liu Xiu scored another 2 points and 1 assist. An unreasonable cut into a violent basket made the Pacers more aggressively shrink.

After the first quarter, the Pacers chased the score to 24-31 with a 3-pointer from Reggie Miller at the buzzer who played at the last minute, maintaining a less dangerous point difference.

In the second quarter, the situation was still deadlocked, and the coaches of both teams were waiting for someone to come out to break the deadlock.

Carlisle did not wait, Maurice Cheeks did!

In the second half of the second quarter, the Pacers missed two consecutive three-pointers from the outside. The Blazers failed to seize the opportunity to counterattack the first time, but the second time, Liu Xiu came by himself, and encountered the ball in the counterattack. The blocking defense did not choose to pass the ball, but while holding the ball and rushing into the basket to score the ball, it also caused a foul of Tianzun who had retreated from the defense. He scored 2+1 and helped the Blazers pull the 11-point difference. Open to 14 minutes!

The game reached 9 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter, and the Trail Blazers led the Pacers 51-37!

Liu Xiu's score in the second quarter increased to 7 points!

Before , every time the score difference exceeded 10 points, the Pacers could chase it back again. The Trail Blazers did not force the attack, but waited and consumed slowly, and finally got this opportunity!

In the rest of the second quarter, under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers regained their composure, and they continued to boil and consume slowly, playing according to Carlisle's upright style of play.

Carlisle really doesn't have a good way. He also knows that his style of play is too dignified. When he has the advantage of strength, this kind of open and close play, coupled with exquisite tactical coordination and strong defense, has a super deterrent effect, and the opponent has everything. All the intrigues don't work.

But when you need a special move, there is nothing you can do.

There are still no players. He looked at Momomoko opposite: If only I had such a player... eh!

Momonga's contract seems to expire this summer, dig him!

In the last two minutes of the first half, the two teams entered an anxious tug-of-war. The difference was that the point difference swayed from 10 points to 15 points. The advantage of the Blazers was further expanded!

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Pacers 58-43 by 15 points and entered halftime!

8 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second quarter, Liu Xiu scored 15 points in halftime, plus 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals! 5-of-9 from the field, plus 5-of-5 from the free throw line, is quite efficient.

It was Liu Xiu's impact + off-ball skills that helped the Blazers widen the point difference to 15 points in the first half.

On the other hand, Artest made a lot of shots in the first half, and he made as many as 10 successful shots, but only 4 of 10 shots, plus 2 of 4 free throws, will score 10 points.

TV commentators are saying that Artest has blood mold, his body is so suitable for the NBA under the new rules, and he met the warden.

Players in this situation, Liu Xiutianke!

During the halftime break, the Blazers' arrangement was still steady and slow, and the tactical plan tonight was successful, so it will naturally continue.

In the third quarter, as expected by Maurice Cheeks, the Pacers did not send Artest at the beginning, nor did he replace Liu Xiu, using Payton, Fred Jones, Extrajudicial Madman. The combination of the Pacers, Raheem, Kwame Brown, and the Pacers' combination of Anthony Johnson, Reggie Miller, James Jones, Crowhill, and Jeff Foster played a team offensive and defensive battle .

The rotation of the two teams played for more than 4 minutes. The Pacers played a wave of 9 to 6, and the score came to 52 to 64. The Pacers narrowed the difference to 12 points and had a chance to reduce the difference to 10 with one goal. within minutes.

Maurice-Cheeks called a timeout in time and replaced the combination of Momo, Liu Xiu, Outlaw, Randolph, and McDyess.

Maurice Cheeks reacted so quickly and decisively, Carlisle was very sorry, but he could only follow the substitution, replacing Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, Dale Davis, Rashi The combination of De-Wallace was put on.

came back from the timeout, Liu Xiu used the cut-in threat to run back, took advantage of Randolph who pulled to the mid-range for cover, received a pass from Momo on the right sideline and hit a three-pointer, 67 to 52, and the point difference reached 15 points again!

Steady!

The use of threats, the selection of opportunities, the grasp of timing... The Blazers have done a very stable attack in this wave. With the experience in the first half, Liu Xiu played better.

Liu Xiu's three-pointer hit, ruining the Pacers' chances of getting off the ground, and the two teams entered a tug-of-war once again.

Just as Liu Xiu came back from a pause and used the threat to create a three-pointer opportunity, the Trail Blazers as a whole appeared to be more comfortable than the first half.

In the next time, Liu Xiu scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, helping the team play a wave of 11 to 9. At 10 minutes and 55 seconds of the third quarter, the Blazers scored 78. 61, the lead expanded to 17 points!

It's the Pacers' turn to attack.

The Blazers have been very active in this wave of defense, and the opportunity is here! If the ball is defended, they have a ball to widen the difference to 20 points! A chance to blow up the game!

Tinsley launched an offense in the face of the flying squirrel sticking to the defense and choosing to break through. The opportunity presented itself to Reggie Miller. Maurice Cheeks saw Reggie Miller catch the ball and thought the opportunity was going to be missed again. Get ready While waiting patiently, Reggie Miller made a three-pointer!

Maurice Cheeks stood up from his chair excitedly, but the ball bounced far and was grabbed by Artest.

After grabbing the offensive rebound, Artest crossed his arms towards the basket. When Reggie Miller took the ball and shot, Liu Xiu took back the inside card to grab the rebound. Artest rushed up and no one dared to do so. Block, Maurice Cheeks sat down in disappointment, not wanting to watch Artest's violent layup...

"Snapped"

The crisp blocking sound and the screams of the fans came into Maurice Cheeks' ears. When he looked up, the ball was out of bounds, and the referee signaled the Pacers for the frontcourt ball.

Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, and seeing the players surrounding Liu Xiu, banging their chests and clapping their hands, Maurice Cheeks wanted to vomit blood - he was there, but he didn't see the warden block. !

Fortunately, the big screen soothed his injured heart a little and played it back.

Artest grabbed the offensive rebound and cut into the flying layup. No one dared to block it. The crowd of prison guards jumped up. As soon as the ball left Artest's hand, Liu Xiu slapped it flying.

This time the cap is clean!

Generally speaking, when a player rushes out of the attacking box on the outside, the inside teammates will help fight against the opponent next to him and interfere with the opponent's inside player to take off. This is the case for a team like the Pacers, and McDyess is unable to move on the inside. interference.

It was also a coincidence that Liu Xiu went to the card position to grab the board, triggering 'Solid as a Rock'. After a card position, the jump greatly reduced the bonus against the impact of the confrontation. When Artest rushed in and flew for a layup, Liu Xiu's The bonus is still there!

And Artest didn't even notice that there was a warden under the basket!

The Pacers continued their offense.

Reggie Miller's 3-pointer hit the rim and the Pacers had a full offensive possession.

But Tinsley played impatiently this time. He hurriedly played singles after receiving the ball. He took a three-point shot against the defense of Momo... Missed!

It was because Dale Davis plucked the ball out, Reggie Miller grabbed the ball, was stuck by Liu Xiu, who was on the defense, and Reggie Miller passed it to Artest.

Finally, Artest's chance came, and there was no Liu Xiu in front again!

Continue to break through!

This time, Artest was ruthless, went straight to the basket, took off hard, and smashed the ball to the hoop...

McDyce actively went to make up for defense, but was detained!

Artest hits McDyess and smashes the ball into the basket!

The referee's whistle came in time, McDyess blocked the foul, and Artest's goal was effective and he would be fined!

Maurice Cheeks sat down, the ball was not controversial, and the dunk was beautiful, but in just a few dozen seconds, he felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and the ups and downs were not too exciting.

The voices of the fans at the scene also suddenly became smaller at this moment. Booing at this time is not particularly good. It feels like booing my veteran. It's better to take a break and shout louder when your own players perform well.

But after Artest landed and stood firm, he pulled his jersey and shook his head and roared frantically, and the boos from the fans immediately sounded!

At this time, the scene on the big screen was switched to a lens with an upward looking angle. This angle could capture Liu Xiu with his mouth bulging and Artest who was pulling his jersey and screaming frantically.

Originally, the director meant - don't panic, fans, we still have the warden, and the warden doesn't care about the opponent's dunk.

However, the scene in the camera suddenly became terrifying - Artest's left elbow, who was beating his chest and roaring, suddenly swung towards Liu Xiu's head!

Looking at the big screen fans, some were stunned, while others immediately let out a piercing scream!

The referee was really professional at this time. Artest was so crazy. They kept staring at Artest and just saw this scene, but even if they knew how eccentric Artest was, they didn't expect Artest. Tester will do it!

It's not something normal people can do at all, okay?

The referee has no chance to stop it!

The players on the court are also looking at Artest. After all, he just finished dunking, and the celebration is so crazy.

Seeing this scene, the players on the court didn't have time to react, they could only watch Artest swing his elbow towards Liu Xiu... Just when Artest's elbow was about to hit Liu Xiu's head, Liu Xiu avoided Artest's elbow with a cat waist.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiu stretched his left hand upwards, grabbed Artest's left elbow, and swung his right elbow to the upper right, hitting Artest's stomach with an elbow!

Artest, who was about to struggle after his arm was pulled, spat out a mouthful of saliva in front of him. He couldn't control his body at all, and temporarily lost his ability to move!

Liu Xiu's movement has not stopped, his right leg stretched between Artest's legs, Artest's belly was punched out of balance and fell down.

Liu Xiu took advantage of the situation and pulled Artest's elbows and legs to smash Artest's legs, and his back used his back to turn Artest's belt to the ground, and then Liu Xiu pressed Artest's legs with his legs. Arm, complete uniform!

This set of moves was so smooth that the referee saw that Artest had been subdued before the referee had the idea of 'my career will come to an end'.

The terrified and screaming fans seemed to be strangled at the moment, and they didn't know how to react.

Seckill!

The other eight players on the field looked at each other, not knowing how to react at this time... Let's fight!

Yes, pull the frame!

Teammates think this is a madman! Elbow the opponent after the dunk? There is something wrong with specifying where.

The referee was the first to react, and he was just relieved, but before he had time to have a headache, how should he whistle the penalty, and the scene that made them terrified came again!

They saw Liu Xiu pressing the struggling Artest with his legs and raised his right hand!

The referee hurried over and shouted: "Leak! Don't!"

Just now Artest wanted to elbow him, of course he had to return it! If he hadn't been prepared to see Artest's crazy look, he would be lying there!

Take down the uniform...not enough!

Liu Xiu ignored the referee's stop sound, and this elbow was rounded and hit Artest's cheek.

Artest spewed out two big teeth, opened his mouth in a strange shape, couldn't close it, dislocated his chin, and passed out on the spot!

Liu Xiu got up and patted her elbow, it hurt a little, but her expression was tense.

He shrugged and spread his hands towards the people on the court: "He elbowed me once, I'll pay him back once, it's fair, right?"
