Healing Basketball Chapter 436

Chapter 436 436. Mosaic team who can always find objective reasons for losing (6700 words)

Liu Xiu didn't want to buckle at all, and sent 3000 healing points to her door!

Enjoying the cheers of the fans on the scene, Liu Xiu clapped and stepped back - as expected of a man who wants to become a super center, he has become more and more conscious of the background board!

Yao Ming broke the defense...

If he was detained, tonight he would think: What is the love, this is not the first time that he has been detained.

Tonight he has immunity.

But this time, he took the initiative to join up and be detained!

Offense and defense transition, Yao Ming once again actively went to the low post to ask for the ball, but he was much calmer than before when he received the ball.

The Trail Blazers shrunk to prevent Yao Ming from chiseling hard. Yao Ming feinted by hitting, turned and stood up and shot... Hit!

62 to 67, Yao Ming helped the team to tighten the score.

When the Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu was also in a low position, but he was farther outside than Yao Ming, and his receiving position was one step outside the three-second zone.

Mobley was guarding against Liu Xiu's turnaround attack, and Yao Ming also focused on guarding the other side of Liu Xiu's three-second zone.

It is more difficult to block Liu Xiu's passing and receiving than Randolph's passing and receiving, but Yao Ming has focused on the basketball defense of O'Neal, Big Z, Sabonis and others this year, which is suitable for him to improve. Speedy, the defense did a great job this time around.

But Liu Xiu did not continue to turn around to break through, but took a step away from the basket, turned over and shot a jumper... in!

In the second half of the third quarter, Liu Xiu only made 1 mid-range shot and did not make a mid-range shot.

This time, Liu Xiu admitted that he had gambling elements, and how he felt after the rest between the betting sessions.

Luckily, he got it right!

With this mid-range shot, Liu Xiu's personal score increased to 25 points!

Offense and defense transition, and it's Yao Ming's offense again.

Yao Ming's one-on-two consecutive turn-around hooks scored!

Kwame Brown and Raheem feel too outrageous, such a big player, how can such agility, those small steps, that fake...

The Rockets players went up one by one excitedly and gave high fives to Yao Ming, who was back on defense.

"You are so powerful in moving the Great Wall, kill the warden of XXXX!" Joe-Smith was very excited.

But this is not what Yao Ming wants!

He didn't hold his breath on his first shot, and went to the low post, but after scoring, he felt it was an opportunity, so he continued to play the low post, and sure enough, the opponent directly attacked in advance.

However, he has an idea right now - I don't want you to say "You're so cool" next to me when I go to the low post, I play two! How can you be blocked by 3 people in the movement of 4 people?

But his amazing teammates really watched him face off against the opposing warden!

When the Blazers attacked, Ryan Bowen guarded the top arc.

With a height disadvantage of more than ten centimeters, the weight advantage is gone, and Liu Xiu has no chance to play in the low position.

But after Liu Xiu saw Ryan Bowen in the frontcourt, he immediately followed Parker's early acceleration, trotted all the way to the three-point line, and burst out!

Ryan Bowen was passed too quickly, Joe Smith was too late to make up for defense, Liu Xiu suddenly came to a 30-degree angle on the right side of the three-second zone, made an emergency stop, turned around and made a mid-range shot... and hit again!

Ryan Bowen is active in defense, has good awareness, and is strong in body. The disadvantage is that his athletic ability is not enough, but he is often used as a defensive player. When opponents see such a strange defensive player, they will always be a little apprehensive, and they will be more or less cautious.

But Liu Xiu's reaction was completely different from what the Rockets players thought...

He can see the speed of Ryan Bowen 84!

This is an excellent player with good height and weight, but speed, bounce, strength, explosiveness... all can only be said to be excellent players.

Of course, he immediately chose to break through.

64 to 71, Yao Ming looked at the scoreboard, the point difference did not get bigger, but his pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

Liu Xiu scored 6 points in a row!

still have a chance! He scored 4 points in a row at close range, and the opponent's defensive position has been moved by his influence... but his teammates and his thinking are completely different!

Mike James was waiting for Yao Ming's low-position ball-handling attitude, which made Yao Ming very moved and satisfied. Thinking about the beginning of the season, Bob Sulla dared to pose in front of his little giant.

But now he is pointing at a big center and a small guard on the opposite side at a critical moment. Are you serious?

But he couldn't show his timidity, went low, and encountered Randolph's switch!

On the strength of the top, Yao Ming feels that Randolph is stronger than Kwame Brown, but who cares...

Yao Ming took a step after receiving the ball. Even Randolph, who had more tonnage, couldn't withstand Yao Ming's first blow, but Yao Ming's physical strength was not as good as before. He managed to get closer to the basket, he didn't continue to play, grabbed the ball, and shot high and high ... Kwame Brown, who was fast shrinking and rushing, jumped high and hit the ball that Yao Ming threw and hadn't fallen. a bit!

The cap is here!

The ball was kicked up by Kwame Brown and didn't go to the basket!

The ball fell towards the three people at the basket. Yao Ming touched the ball on tiptoe first, but he did not catch the ball under the interference of Randolph and Kwame Brown. The ball was shot into the air and touched the ball again. It was Yao Ming, but this time Yao Ming used a little more force and pulled the ball out of bounds.

The referee's whistle blew, Yao Ming touched the ball and went out of bounds, and the Blazers got the ball.

Little Van Gundy called timeout again!

Although the offense on the spot is very bad, but little Van Gundy still has vision, knowing that he just missed an opportunity to start.

Liu Xiu's score is better, but the range of containment is definitely not as good as Yao Ming's super center who is closer to the basket.

If Yao Ming's containment force was used well just now, the Blazers would not have the opportunity to try the strategy of using Randolph to carry and Kwame Brown to attack!

Yao Ming's deterrent power can continue, and he can also take the opportunity to instigate a team attack.

But the opportunity came fast, and if you didn't grasp it, it would go too fast, and now this wave of opportunities has been missed.

Moreover, Van Gundy Jr. found that not many of the other players seemed to realize that there was an opportunity just now... Even before the timeout, there were people on the bench complaining that if Yao Ming hadn't screwed up in the second quarter, it wouldn't be so difficult now.

Little Van Gundy really loves Yao Ming this time, this is the fourth quarter! Still struggling with the second episode? How many times did these people waste Yao Ming's chances?

Yao Ming misses the opportunity created by his teammates, which is actually quite a small probability.

It's not that little Van Gundy thinks that Yao Ming's ability to seize opportunities is particularly strong. As a cornerstone center, Yao Ming's ability to seize opportunities is average, similar to Duncan and O'Neal, and his ability to create opportunities is stronger.

Inner players, that is, a few stars such as Nowitzki can compete with those top shooting guards in their ability to seize opportunities.

Yao Ming's missed opportunity is a small probability event, because the other players of the Rockets have poor ability to create opportunities!

Maybe it's because of his lack of ability to create opportunities. Yao Ming, the star player, screwed up his chances, so his teammates were so impressed?

Little Van Gundy felt that Yao Ming was really miserable, because the chances created by Yao Ming were missed by his teammates more than once or twice.

He could feel that Yao Ming regretted, blamed, shamed, and tried to be strong after missing the opportunity created by his teammates.

But the teammates screwed up Yao Ming's missed opportunity, they are all used to it! Even in most cases, like now, when an opportunity appears temporarily on the court, most people don't even notice the opportunity, and if they miss the opportunity, they don't know that there is an opportunity.

That kind of opportunity depends on the players' awareness of finding opportunities and the ability to seize opportunities, and the coach can't arrange tactics after just one round.

After felt sorry for Yao Ming, little Van Gundy also felt sorry for himself.

He said he wanted Garnett, the team said his suggestion was great, and they brought in Joe Smith.

This 'cheap substitute' strategy reminded him of his aunt in the countryside. He had a very good main ingredient and could make a big dish, but one side dish was a rather expensive mushroom, which his aunt thought it was too expensive. I feel that certain fungi should be the same and need a spice, but there is another spice left over at home. I think they are all spices and should be the same. I can save it if I can... I will save it here and there, and the result This good ingredient has turned into a pot of stinky soup.

As for his desire for a more stable shooting guard, the management sent Jim Jackson to the Suns in exchange for Reece Gaines, a 2003 first-round pick, and he didn't want to say more. Reece Gaines compared What are the advantages of Jim Jackson? In the next two years, Reece Gaines' salary was only half of Jim Jackson's. Well, he joined the Rockets for two months and played a total of 100 minutes.

The coach, the most important one in the coaching staff, the star, the most important one among the players, Van Gundy Jr feels that he and Yao Ming are really in trouble...

But at this time, Van Gundy is also quite a pit, he really can't think of any way to strengthen the offense.

So, after the suspension came back, Liu Xiu saw the combination of David Wesley, Mobley, Witherspoon, Joe Smith and Yao Ming on the court.

The current David Wesley has no other advantages besides stable ball control, good three-pointers, and old defense , Telfair has a higher probability of playing in the final quarter than David Wesley; Witherspoon, who has a lot of experience in iron-blooded defensive play, was a subordinate of the Van Gundy Nix Jr.

Little Van Gundy's adjustment is very simple: guard against death, fight against the odds, what if the opportunity comes?

These players played defense around Yao Ming and played very well indeed.

After Yao Ming had Joe Smith, his defense when his physical strength declined was not as severe as last season. The physical decline only narrowed the range of close-range defense, and the efficiency of protecting the rim was still online.

But the opportunity that little Van Gundy was waiting for will not appear again tonight.

The Trail Blazers really can't reverse the trend of the game. The opponents are indecisive and can play a tough defense, so they can only keep up. The one who doesn't lose is themselves, and the Trail Blazers occasionally play like this.

But it can't change the direction of the game, and they don't force death, they play defense and don't mess around.

The score is ahead, and the initiative is in his hands, so what are you afraid of.

The game reached 11 minutes and 14 seconds into the final quarter. Payton, who was in rotation, picked up Rahim for a setter pass to the flank. Liu Xiu came to the 30-degree angle on the right with a two-pointer. He caught the ball and shot it... Hit!

The Trail Blazers lead to 6 points again!

There are 46 seconds left and a 6-point difference. The Rockets, who only scored 6 points in total after the official suspension in the final quarter, were completely desperate after Liu Xiu hit the mid-range shot!

There was no accident. The Rockets played two offenses and failed to score in the last, and the Blazers did not score a single offense.

At 10:22 pm, the final whistle sounded.

84-78, the Trail Blazers beat the Rockets by 6 points to win their 45th victory of the season!

11 of 25 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws, Liu Xiu came back from the ban, scored 31 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals!

Liu Xiu scored 10 points in the last quarter to help the team hold on to the victory!

The fans on the scene shouted "Jailer" frantically. In the two quarters of the second half, the Trail Blazers scored 16 and 19 points respectively. Among them, Liu Xiu scored 8 and 10 points respectively, more than half!

Kwame Brown's 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks tonight was also very brilliant. After being insulted like Yao Ming, he just held on, and finally restricted Yao Ming's scoring in the second half of the final quarter.

Flying Squirrel opened high and walked low, at least opened high...

In general, Randolph was quite miserable. He met Yao Ming and Mutombo, who was in excellent form tonight, and he fell bloody.

He did the best he could, with 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 offensive rebounds.

After the game, Randolph's unwillingness rose again.

Originally, after throwing Liu Xiu away from the low post, he was quite complacent. He felt that only the mid-range shooting in sports battles was a little worse than Liu Xiu, and he would soon be able to overtake Liu Xiu.

Like breaking with the ball, counterattacking, passing the ball, etc., Randolph won't be brainstorming to compare with Liu Xiu, just like he won't be ashamed to compare Liu Xiu with offensive rebounds.

But when Liu Xiu didn't make any progress in the low post, he actually ran to fiddle with the high post! It has also developed an advanced technique for linking back fights in sports battles, integrating back fights from a separate technique into the overall attack!

There were only Payton and Raheem in the team before. Payton is old, and it is difficult to display such skills in the game. Raheem knows this move but is not good at playing like that. He has the ability to hold the ball. Not enough, Randolph wasn't under pressure to develop the technology.

But now there is!

Reluctant to be left behind, it brought Randolph motivation: the boss of Rose Bay must be the butcher!

On the other side, Yao Ming watched Liu Xiu score 31 points, and then looked at himself with 28 points. Tonight, his score was always ahead, and in the final quarter, he was overtaken.

He's the better shooter, he's 10 of 18.

But Liu Xiu is a perimeter player with a shooting percentage of around 45%, which is not bad.

Liu Xiu's shots this season have increased a lot compared to his rookie year, and the hit rate can still be maintained, which is already a huge improvement.

And, no matter what the hit rate is, the most important thing is to be able to put the ball in at the last minute to help the team win the victory.

Yao Ming is unwilling and has a lot of dissatisfaction.

When he fought against Liu Xiu, his sensitivity would soar, and he would be dissatisfied with some things, but if it was an objective reason, he would choose to be patient, but now he is also dissatisfied with the objective reason.

There are too many objective reasons for this broken team!

Like tonight, there were many open 3-pointers on the flanks, but no one took them.

For example, don't give Jim Jackson to the Suns?

beat the Rockets and the Trail Blazers improved to 45 wins and 16 losses.

After each team played 60 games, they entered the sprint stage at the end of the season, and the direction of the sprint was different.

The Blazers are off to a great start in the sprint!

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the Blazers players also felt it. The game against the Rockets was a double torture of body and mind. Fortunately, they won in the end.

But if everything is difficult at the beginning, this difficulty has just begun.

Next, they will have a wave of 4 consecutive visitors.

The schedule of the game is okay. On the 13th, 15th, 18th, and 20th, there is no back-to-back, and there is even a two-day break in the middle. Compared with the 17 games from March 22 to April 22 , the time can't be too much, this is their best schedule in the remaining games of the regular season this season.

But four-game opponents—Grizzlies, Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets.

There are five teams in the Southwest Division, and the Hornets are just short of it.

How terrible is the Southwest Division? If it wasn't for the Hornets management looking down on Baron Davis and Magloire, the dual-core pair of All-Star fringe strengths, and selling them off, the Hornets should also have the strength to impact the playoffs.

8 playoff seats and 5 in the Southwest Division is not impossible!

On the afternoon of the second day of the and Rockets game, the Blazers gathered at Portland International Airport.

While waiting for the plane, Payton began to point out his teammates: "At this stage of the season, any playoff-level team will become difficult to deal with, we can't be careless..."

The old senior, and the old senior with a lot of words and a broken mouth, always likes to brag about his past and show his own experience.

What Payton said is not wrong. His teammates also respect the seniors who have such a successful career, but his remarks put a little more pressure on the teammates.

After the output of 'I know the ball very well' from the gloves, the warden took over: "Actually, others see us the same way and think we are difficult to deal with. We need to pay attention, but don't be too nervous."

Tear down my desk, right?

Hearing the word nervousness, Payton found it, as if he was just showing off his veteran experience, forgetting that there are many young players in the team, and the team's anxiety has increased.

But being demolished in person, so angry! At this moment, the gloves really want to form a gang in the team, and for nothing else, they just want to do one thing: throw the warden at the airport and prevent him from getting on the plane! The boss's private jet is not worthy of being killed on this day!

While the Blazers were waiting for the plane, the Rockets players came in.

Coincidentally, the flight times of the two teams are about the same.

I meet players from other teams at the airport, there are always a few times in a season, I am used to it.

Players from the two teams met and chatted with each other in a good relationship. Quan, who was in a bad relationship, didn't see each other. The two teams had no relationship so bad that they regarded each other as enemies... Because of the violent action, the warden counterattacked and broke his elbow. Witherspoon of Ribs?

When the teammates mentioned this matter to Witherspoon, Witherspoon replied: I am a person who advocates peace, kindness is my nature, and I forgive him.

As for clamoring for revenge against the warden, he did not admit that it was what he said.

However, because the game was just played yesterday, it was still a narrow victory. Anyway, the Rockets players were unhappy with the Blazers players, so the Blazers players regarded the opponents as passers-by. At the airport, it is normal for there to be more passers-by.

This did not affect Liu Xiu and Yao Ming chatting.

The two chatted about the national team.

Because of last year's Olympic bronze medal, the Chinese men's basketball team qualified for the 2006 World Championships in Japan ahead of schedule.

Relying on this bronze medal, Yao Ming withdrew from the ChinUS All-Star Game, the South American Challenge Tournament, the European Power Tournament, the Stankovic Cup... and other competitions on the grounds of 'letting domestic players play more international games to exercise and exercise'. Did not find fault.

But this year's Asian Championships, Yao Ming still accepted the call-up.

This situation is already very good. He wanted Yao Ming, who was 17 years old, to participate in the 'ChinUS Youth Talent Star Friendly Tournament'. He thought that he would finally have the opportunity to compete with Lamar Odom, Dunleavy, Hinrich and other famous youth basketball talents in the United States. Passed the trick!

Then, what Yao Ming saw was a bunch of scum... I really don't know where the Blue Association found a group of black and white kids, all of whom could run, jump, dunk, have rough skills, and were weaker than him and his teammates.

That time, Yao Ming learned a word—formalism.

For the Asian Championships and the Asian Games, Yao Ming has also discussed with the Blue Association and the Basketball Management Center. Without affecting the championship, he will reduce playing time and give domestic inside teammates more opportunities to exercise.

Yao Ming's suggestion was adopted when his vision shifted from the Asian competition to the World Series, and when the goal of the World Series changed from entering the top 8 to competing for medals.

As for whether Liu Xiu will play Asian games...

The group of Blue Association did not dare to mess with him at all, they were afraid that he would directly refuse to participate in the Olympic Games.

Now I don't dare to mess with it anymore, for fear that the Blazers owner will cancel the sponsorship for the next four years.

About the changes in the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming is mostly talking about it, and Liu Xiu listens. Occasionally, Liu Xiu has two words that make Yao Ming feel more healed, and Yao Ming is also used to it.

Yao Ming saw Liu Xiu's eyes widen a little again, and he saw that this product was going to start the healing mode again, and he was ready to bear it.

I just heard Liu Xiu say, "Dayao, don't abuse your opponents too hard during the Asian Championships this year."

"Huh?" A question mark appeared on Yao Ming's head.

Liu Xiu continued: "I think we are too strong in Asia, especially you, too strong. I am worried that if you accidentally abuse some countries, they will lose confidence in their own basketball."

Yao Ming: ? ? ? I'm all ready for your healing, what do you mean by suddenly praising me?

Mingming Liu Xiu said nice words, but Yao Ming felt cured.

is simply impossible to guard against!

Speaking of the 2005 Asian Basketball Championships, Liu Xiu was deeply impressed by one of the games.

It was a game that will always be remembered just by looking at the score - the Chinese men's basketball team won against Saudi Arabia by 88 points.

It's not how high the Chinese men's basketball team scored, but Saudi Arabia only scored 10 points.

After chatting about the Chinese men's basketball team, the two chatted enthusiastically about the game, much happier than when they talked about the Blue Association-related topics.

Yao Ming didn't talk about things related to club games at all today. Seeing that the topic had a tendency to go in that direction, he immediately changed the topic.

Last year's Yao Ming was young and ignorant, and he was cured to the point of death every time.

It's even more impossible to say something like "I want you to look good when I'm at my home stadium".

His team went 18-12 on the road this year... oh no, lost last night, now it's 18-13 and they're 32-29.

also said, their home record is 14 wins and 16 losses.

They also played better away than at home last season…

Thinking of playing against the Blazers twice this season, both at home, Yao Ming was desperate.

Every time he played the Trail Blazers on the road, he played back and forth with the Trail Blazers, and the difference between the two losses this season was in single digits.

But at home...let's talk about games!

After a while, the vice president of the Blazers came to inform Liu Xiu: "The boss's aircraft maintenance is over, let's go."

Why does Liu Xiu feel that there is a hint of lovelessness in the vice president's voice?

What's the matter? Not happy about flying in a private jet?

Then, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Liu Xiu saw the two big characters on the plane downstairs - Allen.

No surprise, on the other side, it must be the boss's name.

Warden: Convex (艹 dish 艹) convex.

Why do I want to sit on this thing? I designed it myself!

Teammates cheered when they saw the plane with the words written on it.

Payton's cheers are especially loud!

He is a very showy person, who can go to a nightclub and tell Jordan, "I can afford a Ferrari too", the owner of the Standard Club.

The Rockets players made a sound of envy.

Warden: ? ? ?

Oh, by the way, these foreigners only think Chinese characters are foreign, but they don't know it's the name of the boss who gets older and more sassy.

A vice president who knows how the boss's Chinese name is written is a normal reaction.

and many more! My brother Yao is beside me!

Seeing Yao Ming's stunned look, the warden's mentality exploded: Boss! Come out and chat! You have disgraced this warden!

Yao Ming looked at the plane for two seconds, and said in a tone of extreme envy: "I want to buy a plane in the future! I want to write my name on the plane too!"

Warden: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
