Healing Basketball Chapter 442

Chapter 442 442. Give me the tactical board! (6000 words)

Before playing, when Liu Xiu saw the opponent's defensive lineup, he predicted the Spurs' defensive matchup choice. In a flash, he pulled a simple tactic that his teammates quickly arranged, and it was done!

Maurice-Cheeks felt like he had learned another trick, so Hollings hurriedly recorded it.

The warden's occasional imaginative response on the spot, if it can be turned into a regular style of play, it is already a routine operation of the Trail Blazers to adjust and integrate into the style of play.

On the court, the extrajudicial fanatics are very excited now, and their hearts are '(^o^)/', but on the surface they still look like 'I am a genius'.

He actually wanted to learn how Liu Xiu could heal his opponent's expression after he performed well, but after learning for a long time, he couldn't learn it, and he found out that it was a matter of appearance. Just learn to pull.

The Spurs players were not in a hurry to serve. Bowen called his teammates to say a few words. When the referee was shouting and gesturing to count down 5 seconds, they began to serve and advance.

The Spurs adjusted slowly on the court. In addition to the adjustment itself, there was also the idea of increasing the opponent's mentality.

is not just for the Blazers. These details have long been part of the Spurs game. Most of their behaviors on the court have the idea of affecting the opponent's mentality and pressing the rhythm. They don't even need to do it deliberately, it has become instinct.

The Trail Blazers regard the Spurs as their rivals in the playoffs. They know this very well. The game is halfway through. The players are used to it when they are prepared... Not all, when Udri goes beyond the three-point line. , encountered the rushing defense of the annoyed Momonga!

Yudri was caught off guard, and the ball was shot by Momo!

The ball was out of control, and the two point guards fought together.

Momonga grabs the ball first and fights back!

Manu Ginobili actively chased and defended, Momomo rushed to the front court to score the ball, Liu Xiu followed up on the flank, received the ball and went straight to the basket, took off in three steps, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The returned Udri and Ginobili did not get into the basket.

The warden's savage ramming attack frame, retract it, and it's not very difficult to make an offensive foul, but...

Liu Xiu scored 4 points in a row, and his personal score increased to 8 points, surpassing Ginobili's 7 points and becoming the highest in the game so far.

Meanwhile, the Blazers tied the score 13-13!

Offensive and defensive transition, Udrih pushed forward with the ball, Momo wanted to make persistent efforts, but this time Udrih was prepared and guarded the ball carefully.

Yudrey did not have the impulsive behavior of 'I want to save face for the last round', waiting for Duncan to pull out, and steadily launched a pick-and-roll attack with Duncan.

Duncan dismantled the rear flank and cut in, received the ball at close range, and wanted to continue to enter the basket, but was blocked by Liu Xiu!

Duncan did not force his shot. He showed his excellent basic skills in holding the ball. He made no mistakes in the face of Liu Xiu's blocking and defense. He grabbed the ball and scored the bottom corner.

But Muhammad scored two points from the tip!

Spurs players see the warden block Duncan - is this the point guard?

Liu Xiu felt helpless about the stability of the Spurs.

There are also a lot of grooves to vomit - the Spurs' offense has no tactical cooperation since the pick-and-roll launch. Liu Xiu looked at Popovich on the sidelines, is he really Larry Brown's own apprentice?

But there is Duncan!

Liu Xiu remembers that by the 2008-09 season, Duncan was still the strongest superstar in the league, with the second team and second defense.

It wasn't until 2009 that Duncan passed his peak. In the 2009-10 season, the 33-34-year-old Duncan fell out of the top ten ranks of the league for the first time in his career, and was only selected for the third team and second defense.

But in the 2010-11 season, Duncan began to have team bonuses and started a new road to leveling.

It's just that, in order to get this bonus, he has nurtured the coach for more than ten years, so that the coach can gradually improve, and he has not played any good offensive tactics for more than ten years.

In the 12-13 season, the 36-37-year-old Duncan finally succeeded in leveling up, playing slightly worse data than his rookie season, slightly higher efficiency, and quite comprehensive performance. He was selected for the first and second defense, surpassing Bowen and becoming the history Oldest All-Defensive Team player.

In his hands, he has had at least two teams and two defenses for 12 consecutive years since his rookie season. Among them, 9 first teams and 8 first defenses are all head coaches. The fate of Popovich and most other head coaches is so different.

Offense and defense transition, to the Blazers to attack.

The Spurs' defensive matchup changed, with Udri and Manu Ginobili switching, Udri guarding Momo, and Ginobili guarding outlaws.

Although the Spurs' defensive preparations made mistakes, the Trail Blazers did not use Liu Xiu and McDyess' pick-and-roll as their main offensive method, and the extrajudicial madman hit Udri and the Spurs were caught off guard, but they did a good job of self-adjustment. And quickly launched an effective team defense.

The Blazers dispatched all three major mid-range shooters, Momomoka + Warden's sudden points + auxiliary control play, with McDyess' mid-range shooter + flank support, Kwame Brown's basket cover and Eating cake, the bottom line of the extrajudicial fanatics responds to the mid-range cast + the middle of the top arc to follow up... This lineup's playing style has become a system, and detailed adjustments have been made for the Spurs.

But even so, the offensive efficiency is still not high!

Fortunately, although Udri and Duncan's pick-and-roll can mobilize the Trail Blazers' defense, Udri's post-pick-and-roll offense is basically impossible to play against Kwame Brown or McDyess's switch.

Although Duncan's singles are more stable, the Trail Blazers can score more and have better execution of offensive tactics!

Accompanied by Liu Xiu's Eurostep's buzzer-beater, after the first quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Spurs tied at 22!

After Muhammad's tip-up, the Trail Blazers and the Spurs scored 9-7 with 4 minutes and 39 seconds. The efficiency was so low that Barkley and Kenny, who tried their best to explain the game a little more interestingly. -Smith wants to duel Popovich!

It's really not good, and the same goes for beating Stern.

The Spurs and Trail Blazers have bad reputations, but Stern insisted on airing their games.

Who let the Spurs have Duncan and the Blazers have Liu Xiu?

The 10 most popular players in the league, these two teams have one in the first team, and one of them is the first two consecutive All-Star votes, and Stern is also desperate.

4-of-9 from the field, plus 2-of-2 free throws, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

Liu Xiu never expected that he would score 10 points in the first quarter against the Spurs!

But the game was really hard to play. For Duncan, Liu Xiuzhen was speechless. The only thing that affected Duncan's performance was the shortened playing time due to injuries.

Ignoring the changes in defensive style, Duncan's defensive end played a role, and after a game, it was no worse than the peak year of his career last season!

No reason!

Duncan limited opponents to 89 points per 100 possessions last season, slightly less than Ben Wallace's 87 points and slightly higher than Garnett's 92 points. Last season was the peak of the Iron Age. A collective carnival season... Now Duncan certainly can't limit his opponent to less than 90 points per 100 possessions like last season, even if he really came last season, after all, the rules are different.

But for a player who suffered from plantar fasciitis, his athletic ability has declined. After more than half a season, he has continued his defensive ability by adjusting his style of play... Although Liu Xiu is the one who is mentally prepared, the 'I屮' is still no less than his teammates.

The feeling when you are mentally prepared is even more incredible.

Fortunately, the Blazers are mentally prepared for Duncan's return to the top after half a season. The All-Star Weekend is almost a month away. They have enough game material for them to study and prepare, and their coping strategies have been quite perfect. , In this game, the Blazers played it as a rehearsal when they met the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Spurs are more unhurried, fighting tough battles. Since the new century, no team has more experience than them.

Popovich and his crew are now reassured that no Blazers are breaking out.

Although Liu Xiu scored 10 points in a single quarter, 4 of the points came from the official suspension and were fed 4 points by the extrajudicial fanatic and Momo.

There are still 4 points in the fairy ball. The pick-and-roll attack at the beginning and the European step throw at the buzzer at the end of the quarter. In regular time, Liu Xiu did not score a goal, and only got 2 points by free throws. All 5 successful shots were made of iron.

This means their defense is very successful!

Listen to the cheers and shouts of the live fans, the fans have seen it, the rhythm of the game has been controlled by them!

Come back from a break between festivals.

The Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Fred Jones, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess.

The Spurs sent Parker, Derrick Brown, Brent Barry, Duncan, Nesterovic.

On the court, Parker saved the thought in his mind, "I must learn to pick and roll offense" and concentrated on playing the game.

Although facing the warden made him feel hopeless, and if he didn't play well, he would definitely be scolded by the head coach, but under desperation and pressure, he found a direction of progress that he thought would be able to deal with the warden.

But now he will use the level of screen pick-and-roll, and dare not use the game to try, otherwise he will be sitting on the bench again.

Some commentators lamented the difference between Parker and Milicic.

Parker's start to his career was the same as Milicic was treated under Larry Brown.

Not many people noticed that Parker performed poorly on his debut. He was put on the bench in Game 2 until he was replaced and played for a few minutes in garbage time, and was scolded by Popovich as a punching bag.

But in Game 3, he had a chance to play and he played as hard as he could, scoring 15 points and 6 assists in a single game! After playing four games, Parker quickly won the starting spot, when Parker and Antonio Daniels, the No. 4 overall pick in the 97's, the old and sturdy legend Terry Burt were two competitors.

If Parker's mental ability is like Milicic's, the NBA will not have such a model of counterattack.

After the start of the second quarter, the two teams continued the tug-of-war in the first quarter.

Parker advanced over halftime and looked for opportunities to attack the frame. If it was not necessary, he would never play singles to avoid being locked up by Liu Xiu.

There was another situation in the previous two matches. After Parker's singles Liu Xiu was blocked, he passed the ball out. Liu Xiu could directly empty Parker after the invalid point and go to the flank to make up defense. There is huge room for improvement.

After Parker's main off-the-ball mid-range and close-range movement and catching attack, this has also been avoided to a great extent.

Let the current Popovich think of a particularly good way to enhance Parker's offensive efficiency. He doesn't have that ability, but he is very good at reducing Parker's offensive role to avoid disadvantages and keep the team's offense and defense stable.

No one knows more about stability than Popovich with Duncan.

When the game is in a steady state of closeness, no one knows how to win in such a situation better than Popovich.

Relying on excellent lineup rotation, stable offensive output, and the top defensive end adjustment... The Spurs scored a single quarter score of 23 to 18 in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Spurs took a 5-point lead, 45-40!

The game developed as Popovich had hoped, and it also went in a direction that the Blazers coaching staff was worried about.

The Spurs are too stable!

After more than half of the season, Duncan's strength has gradually returned to its peak, and his performance has been so strong that some experts predict that as long as he plays enough games, he can be locked for a while.

The thing that the Spurs were afraid of in the second quarter, that is, an outbreak among Liu Xiu, Momo, and Rahim, did not appear.

Liu Xiu scored 10 points in the first quarter, although it is not to say that the 4 goals were purely lucky, but at least half of them were!

In the second quarter, after Liu Xiu lost those magic balls, he only played the mediocre performance he should have played tonight, with 5 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, which is already the highest score of the Trail Blazers in a single quarter, and the second highest is Kwame -Brown, took advantage of Duncan's midway break in the second quarter for two catches.

If Raheem was present, he and Liu Xiu had done an excellent job of encircling Parker. Parker wanted to cry when he saw these two, but Raheem really couldn't open the attack tonight. His best close-range scoring is The Spurs have the best defense, let alone him. Randolph hates his lack of development in his mid-range shots and back shots. He hates that after he leads the warden in some aspects, he is triumphant in the training phase. I got lazy.

In the third quarter, watching the stars, in this quarter, the Blazers finally took the initiative.

Momonga still dares to throw it!

He only scored 6 points on 2 of 8 shots in the first half, and he still dared to throw it!

Under his leadership, the Trail Blazers scored 20-17 in the first 11 minutes of the third quarter, chasing the score to 60-62 and chasing the difference to only 2 points!

But just as the Blazers were about to make a comeback, Ginobili exploded!

After scoring 7 points in the first half of the first quarter, Ginobili did not score 1 point in the second half of the first quarter. After 3 minutes in the second quarter, he only got 2 points from free throws. Before the third quarter, he only scored 2 points. Relying on Kwame Brown's technical offender, he scored 1 point, 7 points in the first half of the quarter, and only 10 points at the end of the third quarter... But at the critical moment, he suddenly broke out!

A 3-pointer, a breakthrough European step shot, a dunk with 8 seconds left to serve directly from the fast break... Manu Ginobili hit a wave of 7 to 4 alone!

After three quarters, the Spurs continued to maintain a 5-point lead with 69-64!

Entering the inter-season break again, Liu Xiu's scalp was numb due to the stability of the Spurs.

It looked as if Ginobili single-handedly helped the Spurs regain a 5-point lead, which of course was the case. It was an opportunity, and Ginobili could take it and the others couldn't.

However, with Popovich's trust and Duncan's strong strength to withstand the Blazers' counterattack, Ginobili had a chance to become demonic.

In the first quarter, there was a wave of two consecutive goals and 5 points, and at the end of the third quarter, there was a wave of 3 consecutive goals and 7 points, but Ginobili actually only scored 6 goals, and the number of shots was 13 times, 6 of 13 shots. , the overall shooting performance is very good, but just looking at this shooting percentage is definitely not a burst.

Of course, many times, Ginobili's role is that of the Spurs who take the pot. Others don't have a chance, so they throw the ball to him. Get the ball to Manu Ginobili.

The Spurs were able to hold a solid 5-point lead through the third quarter, which seemed like a coincidence.

But what if this is all part of the Spurs' 'stable'?

Before this game, Liu Xiu always felt that Popovich relied on Duncan to get into the ranks of top coaches in his early years.

Last season, the Blazers did not have the ability to wrestle with the Spurs at all, and Liu Xiu didn't have the spare time to care about the coaches of other teams. When he played against the Spurs for the first time this season, he was full of excitement against the Troika. , how can you care about other things? The second time we played against Duncan, it was the end of the season. We could learn more things and have clearer game goals, and Liu Xiu could also go deeper. It wasn't that simple after learning about the effect of Popovich's coaching on the Spurs.

If Popovich in the future "Spurs system" era has been over-mythical, then Popovich, who is now in the early and middle stages of Duncan's career, may also be too underestimated.

Liu Xiu quickly finished eating the scallion pancake and put away his distracting thoughts, and went to listen to the arrangement of the coaching staff.

His performance in the third quarter was also generally stable, scoring 1-for-3 from the field, plus 4-for-5 free throws to score 6 points.

He tried to give it a shot, but the opponent was too well defended.

After consuming the player's touch through rough confrontation, defend a star by flanking and cutting off key passing and receiving lines. As long as the rules still allow confrontation, hold Duncan + a good single-defense forward and defender. Povic can play this trick well!

There is no room for change, Liu Xiu can only play steadily, pass when he needs to pass, throw when he should, and most of the time, pass when he needs to pass.

The power of the West Coast, not everyone can play against the Spurs! Tonight he has reached his limit and has nothing left.

Tonight, another game in which I felt that my personal ability was not enough...

Liu Xiu has now scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Parker only scored 6 points after making 2 of 6 shots in three quarters. The Giant Killer's goal 1 and goal 2 are almost completed.

The mission goal is to win! But it's really hard to win!

The inter-quarter break ended soon. Amid the cheers of the fans, the fourth quarter began, and the Spurs took the lead in attacking.

Manu Ginobili's demon is so good that he can not touch three times in the last round and hit a hollow in the next round.

In the last minute of the third quarter, he scored 3 goals in a row, and in the last quarter, he came up with a three-point drop with a two-point step back.

Popovich couldn't help slapping his forehead when he saw this picture - do you have a mid-range shot? Your mid-range shot isn't as accurate as Parker!

But for the sake of this guy occasionally looking like Kobe, Popovich endured it, and later scolded Parker and let out his anger.

Ginobili's iron, Liu Xiu and his teammates were relieved.

Although it is difficult now, the situation where the fastest two goals can overtake the score is much better than the situation where at least 3 goals are required.

But even if Ginobili didn't score the goal, the Trail Blazers' road to chasing points was very bumpy.

Next, the Blazers finally played a wave of 8-5, but then the Spurs returned a wave of 7-3 and entered the official timeout.

At 6:09 of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed the Spurs 75-81 by 6 points!

After the official suspension came back, Maurice Cheeks took a shot and placed Momo, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess in a row for mid-to-long shots. The offensive effect was good. Time scored 12 points, and the Spurs were caught off guard, playing a wave of 12 to 8, chasing the score to 87 to 89 at 11 minutes and 10 seconds in the final quarter, reducing the point difference to 2 points!

However, just when the Blazers thought they had finally passed the long darkness and the dawn was just around the corner, they were substituted after 2 minutes at the beginning of the final quarter, and they were substituted after 2 minutes of playing in the middle without making any achievements. With two minutes left, Ginobili, who was replaced again, made a three-pointer at the critical moment!

At 11 minutes and 26 seconds in the final quarter, the Blazers called a timeout, the score was 87-92, and the Blazers trailed the Spurs by 5 points!

What is a demon knife, Liu Xiu really feels it now.

is outrageous!

Three throws in front of the distal quarter, all of them were ironed, and at the last moment, I threw a three-pointer and went in!

7 of 17 shots, Ginobili has hit so far tonight, and the hit rate has become very broken.

The score is not high, playing 32 minutes, Ginobili scored 20 points.

Manu Ginobili is not the kind of player who can score high. Liu Xiu remembers that when Ginobili was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future, some people still questioned him. One player only got 32 singles after playing more than a thousand regular season games. How can a player who has played 30+ games and played more than 200 playoff games less than 10 times in a single game get the title of 'superstar'? Why enter the Hall of Fame?

But after watching the Ginobili game, there is no such question.

Just like tonight, Ginobili's presence was so high that he only scored 7 goals in total, and 6 goals were unconventional goals!

Just now Ginobili, the three-pointer that helped the Spurs win the game, Rao Shi has a strong mentality like Liu Xiu, and he feels hit.

After a quick drink of vegetable juice, Liu Xiu came to the coach and waited for the final arrangement.

There is basically no suspense in the game. After more than 30 seconds, facing the Spurs by 5 points... Maurice Cheeks is no longer hopeful, but calling a timeout to struggle at the end is the basic of being a qualified head coach. Literacy.

Just as Maurice Cheeks read out the names of the players who were about to play and was about to set up a three-point play, the tactical board was held.

"Coach! The tactic must be to give me the ball! Give me the ball! Give me the ball! I'll be responsible for throwing the ball in!"

Morris-Cheeks was stunned for two seconds. One of the reasons he didn't hold out much hope was that when he just entered the timeout, he saw that even Liu Xiu's eyes lost their radiance.

Why did this suddenly become stubborn again? And still very excited? !
