Healing Basketball Chapter 45

Chapter 45 45. What are the Big Four

216 cm, O'Neal, who started the new season with an uncontrolled weight of over 150 kilograms, was brought down. He first fell to the floor sideways, and then he was thrown to the floor.

This scene is eye-catching! stare! mouth! stay!

The whole scene was quiet for a while, and then, the scene broke out with fierce cheers!

Liu Xiuzheng used to press his knees on O'Neal's back, lock his arms, press ... three times in a row, he suddenly reacted and stopped the next action.

Kobe rushed towards Liu Xiu for the first time and was easily stopped by Dale Davis.

Although the fighting ability is not good, but Ao Fat was beaten, Kobe was the first to rush to that, almost an instinctive reaction.

Even if the two of them can't speak a few words a day now.

Malone froze on the sidelines for a while and then rushed towards the court, and was blocked by Randolph who responded quickly.

When O'Neal turned over and got up, Ruben Patterson and Dale Davis had already blocked Liu Xiu.

No matter what you thought about Liu Xiu before, no matter how good or bad you will get along with Liu Xiu in the future, at this moment, the teammates wanted to stand in front of Liu Xiu. The players from the Lakers rushed in, and the Trail Blazers also rushed in. .

O'Neal, who had just reached out and pushed Randolph to cause the conflict, saw these familiar faces, and then he remembered that this was the Portland Trail Blazers... The blood on it was immediately recovered.

These people fight and fight to death. They even fight in the team's training games, but he is fat and cherishes his life!

O'Neal went to hold Malone and Kobe, walked aside, and Liu Xiu also pulled Randolph back.

Finally, the referee had a chance to separate the two sides.

Seeing that the referee was about to make a penalty, Liu Xiu immediately said to the referee, "I didn't mean it... I'm just pulling a fight!"

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu looked innocent, and the others were speechless.

O'Neal, who weighed over 150kg in the early season of the new season, was actually brought down... If this was accidental, would it be on purpose?

When the referee heard the phrase 'I didn't mean to', he really wanted to kick the rookie out of the court.

The first time she set foot on the NBA court, Liu Xiu successfully attracted everyone's attention.

The sentence behind is also not like human words, the pull frame is pulled so far, is it called pull frame? Just go and help fight!

But this was the preseason, and it was a partial match, which really stopped the conflict. The scene was eerily quiet, and the coaching staff of the two teams greeted the players of their respective teams back to the bench.

The referee summed it up and gave O'Neal a technical foul, Liu Xiu and Dale Davis a technical foul each.

O'Neal's rebounding foul was determined. After the two teams offset a technical foul, the Lakers executed a technical foul free throw and the Trail Blazers resumed the offense.

After the penalty was determined, the Blazers called a timeout.

Liu Xiu was surrounded by teammates, Randolph put his arms around Liu Xiu and patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder: "Jess, you are too xx, that's O'Neal! I can't even hug him!"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said honestly: "I just used a little wrestling technique, it's absolutely not possible to do it from the front."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you hugged O'Neal!"

is quite cool, Liu Xiu thinks this choice is definitely right, but still very worried about the current situation - the first NBA game, or preseason, just played, less than a minute, played a hug to the opponent...

Randolph saw what Liu Xiu was thinking at a glance, and said, "You don't have to worry."

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, why don't you worry? He couldn't help but spit out: "If I had known that he would beat you up, it wouldn't have been so much trouble."

"Who wants your help! It's not like I can't beat him!"

roar is like this, Randolph's expression is very happy.

The suspension came back. On the Blazers side, Maurice Cheeks did not take Kevin Pritchard's suggestion and let Liu Xiu continue!

The combination of Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Quintel Woods, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace was replaced.

Liu Xiu was mentally prepared to be replaced before he finished one round, but the coach asked him to continue playing!

Looking at the opposite side, the Zen master directly replaced O'Neal.

Thinking of what Randolph said just now... Liu Xiu has a new understanding of Maurice Cheeks' coaching style.

Kevin Plitcha wanted to replace him. The fans were excited and cheered wildly. The players of the two teams could not wait to bite each other and replace the conflicting players. This is a very routine operation, just a preseason game.

But Morris-Cheeks just doesn't!

On the other hand, although the Zen master replaced O'Neal, but replaced Malone, Fisher, Kobe, Devin-George, and Medvedenko played four people.

The outcome of the preseason is definitely not important.

But in the current situation, such attention, such a game situation, the arrow has to be fired.

Kobe executed technical free throws. As the best player in the Lakers' free throws, Kobe steadily hit technical free throws.

39 to 31, the score difference came to 8 points.

The game continued, the Blazers attacked, and Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced over half court... A dirty word was almost sprayed out.

Kobe waved to Fisher to prevent him, a rookie!

You can't beat Kobe in a fight, then play!

"Kobe Bryant, 25 years old, SG/SF, ability rating 97, offense 96, defense 98..."

Kobe's player detection report floated by Liu Xiu's eyes, causing Liu Xiu's liver pain.

Challenge impossible? Of course not, Liu Xiu protected the ball well.

"Rookie, come, singled me out."

"Kang is busy, hit me!"

"Don't dare to hit me? Are you so timid?"

Liu Xiu listened to Kobe's trash talk, he wanted to play, but he didn't play.

This trash talk is not as good as the 'happy' and 'rebound' of the two elementary school students...

Liu Xiu has no other advantages. There is nothing to say about the stability of the ball. Kobe Bryant sprayed trash while exerting pressure and pressing defense, and did not find the opportunity to steal the ball or make mistakes!

Large tonnage, excellent height and wingspan difference, and greater strength than people of the same size... Kobe even felt that his strength was slightly inferior to this rookie!

Liu Xiu diligently advanced to the right side of the free throw line, turned his back and leaned against Kobe.

A question mark appeared on Kobe's head - is this to beat him in the back?

Of course not, Liu Xiu made a tactical gesture before turning his back against Kobe, and seeing his teammates move, he pushed his back and hit the ground to pass the ball!

Randolph pulled out to attract Malone, Rasheed Wallace cut in to catch the ball, jumped up, lifted the ball straight up in the air, and scored two points with a split and dunk!

This battle axe, Rasheed Wallace showed off a good physical fitness, which made Liu Xiu, who passed the ball, envious.

Liu Xiu overturned Shaquille O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace's violent tomahawk dunk, which opened the next wave of the Blazers' offensive climax.

The Trail Blazers played very comfortable offense in the second half of the second quarter!

First of all, there is no O'Neal on the opposite side, and Randolph alone is enough to contain the 40-year-old Malone.

The most important thing is that the team's offensive tactics have come out!

Instead of Damon Stoudemire's tactic that everything depends on him, Rasheed Wallace felt what Pippen felt when he was in his first year...it made him feel incredible!

The twin-tower offense is one of the Blazers' traditional tactics, but since Sabonis retired, he hasn't played, and now with a new twin-tower, Pippen has left again.

I didn't expect to see this kind of quality in a rookie!

Liu Xiu didn't show himself in the game deliberately, he controlled the ball stably, sent the ball to the receiving point in the tactics reasonably.

After the half-quarter game, the Trail Blazers played very well offensively, scoring 16 points in the half-quarter game, but Liu Xiu only had two assists, but with these two assists, Liu Xiu revitalized the offense!

The moment O'Neal hugged and fell, the effect was huge!

Liu Xiu saw a lot of things in that quarter and a half. The Blazers players really wanted to win, but most of them wanted to show themselves. Derrick Anderson was also a very good point guard in sorting out the team's offense. It's not particularly strong, but it's very comprehensive.

However, when Derek Anderson had the ball, Randolph asked for the ball to play singles, Rasheed Wallace asked for the ball to play singles... Derek Anderson did not command the team to attack at all.

Liu Xiu, that is, Randolph has a good relationship with him. Dale Davis is convinced of him. Only the lineup that first played can be commanded.

Rashid Wallace's words, he really may not be able to command, he is a rookie, Rasheed Wallace has every reason to believe in his singles more.

Now the situation is different, hugging O'Neal gave Liu Xiu the opportunity to show his strongest trait - combing the team's offense within the tactical framework!

The tactics around Rasheed Wallace's scoring can be played, and the effect is quite good. Of course, he will play well. His comprehensive scoring methods are the key to supporting the tactics.

After halftime, the score was 47-50. After Kobe executed a technical foul free throw, the Trail Blazers scored 16-11, narrowing the difference to 3 points and entering halftime!

During half a quarter of the game, Liu Xiu made Rasheed Wallace have a strong interest in him.

Liu Xiu has also developed a strong interest in Rasheed Wallace - how does this guy achieve a seamless switch between the inside frame guard and the defensive vacuum?

If it wasn't for this guy who didn't move his feet on the defensive end and was beaten 2+1 by Kobe, they would have tied the score at halftime!

Ignore this for now. After playing for more than 5 minutes, he scored 1 point, 1 rebound and 2 assists. Liu Xiu felt that he played well, and he also asked Roar Tianzun to cooperate well in tactics.

Back at halftime, as expected by Liu Xiu, Maurice Cheeks was without him in the starting roster sent in the third quarter.

Opposite , the Lakers replaced O'Neal.

In the first half of the third quarter, Liu Xiu saw Rasheed Wallace switch his style of play again, and together with Dale Davis, created a lot of trouble for O'Neal.

but! Liu Xiu found that the presence of Rasheed Wallace on the offensive end almost disappeared when he entered this state!

'I see...that's it! Physical strength! '

"Rashid Wallace, 29 years old, PF/C, ability rating 91...Physical strength 89..."

As the tactical core of a team, Rasheed Wallace's physical strength is outrageous.

Liu Xiu's physical strength is worse than Rasheed Wallace, but he is a rookie and a substitute. He does not rely on him for scoring and defense. His 87 physical strength is absolutely sufficient now.

Roaring Tianzun is miserable here.

In those days, Sabonis and Pippen were on the front line and under the basket. Rasheed Wallace never exposed this problem. Now, in a preseason game trying to win, facing an opponent like the Lakers, It's obvious!

However, after the start of the second half, the Lakers also played very uncomfortable. Their preparation was based on Rasheed Wallace's 7 points in the half quarter. Now Rasheed Wallace has no points. Bian is ready to start with defense first. Zen master's defensive coaching accomplishments are definitely among the top five in the league, but now it's a waste of time.

The score was 8-7 in more than 5 minutes. The Trail Blazers chased the score to 55-57, narrowing the difference to two points and entering the official suspension stage.

The cheers of the home team fans are now steadily pressing on the away Lakers fans. Obviously, the Blazers fans are very satisfied with the current situation.

But Morris-Cheeks is under a lot of pressure now. The game is at this point. If they don't complete the comeback and lose the game, it will be a big blow for their first start of the new season.

In the past 5 minutes just now, the Trail Blazers seem to have taken the initiative, but... On the opposite side, only Payton and O'Neal led the team!

What does the Big Four represent?

means that even if Payton and O'Neal are replaced and rested, there are still Kobe and Malone superstars!

Maurice-Cheeks turned his head and thought - 'If you fail to start, you will fail, and you will gain a lot tonight! '

Thinking, Maurice Cheeks put his eyes on Liu Xiu, who was eager to try.

The long-awaited Liu Xiu was replaced, and the combination with Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Georgian center Vladimir Spantini was replaced.

the other side…

"Derrick Fisher, Ability Rating 78 (Peak)…

Kobe Bryant, ability rating 97…

Brian Russell, ability rating 70…

Karl Malone, Ability Rating 88…

Vladimir Medvedenko, ability rating 68…”

'O'Neal with an ability rating of 95 was replaced, Payton of 87 was replaced, and two more stars! '

Liu Xiu looked at her side. Randolph, who was rated at 90, and Rasheed Wallace, who was rated at 91, were already very strong, but there was a real difference between him and the Lakers who could make it to the finals by relying solely on F4. Not the usual big.

The suspension came back, and the Lakers took the lead.

Kobe's finisher Ruben Patterson defended Kobe with the ball alone, and the shout of 'Kobe-stopper' sounded at the scene, which made Liu Xiu curious... It was too early to be curious.

Kobe changed direction with a fake move, swayed Ruben Patterson away, and made a direct hit with a three-pointer shot from the left side of the top arc!

60 to 55, Kobe helped the Lakers widen the difference to 5 points!

Liu Xiu just thought of a lot of ways to limit Kobe. It's hard to say whether it can be done or not, but she thought of a lot of ways.

However, as far as Kobe's style of play is concerned, what kind of defensive strategy does it make sense?

Kobe Bryant suddenly exerted his strength, and the impact on Liu Xiu was very strong. Judging from tonight, one-on-one, Kobe Bryant was the best in the game!

When O'Neal loses some weight, he may regain the title of the Lakers' strongest singles, but now, Kobe's one-on-one singles is the strongest in the game.

Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attack.

Liu Xiu adjusted the pressure brought about by Kobe's strength, received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and it was no longer Kobe who was defending him, but Fisher!

Fisher, who is at his peak, actually has a good defense, with enough speed, strength, and good attitude... But Liu Xiu can see the adjustment of the opponent's defensive strategy at a glance - Kobe is no longer scolding him for one-on-one defense. , but to defeat the team attack he launched!

Obviously, Kobe has recognized the defensive mistakes in the second half of the second quarter, it may be the adjustment of Zen master, or it may be discovered by Kobe himself.

Liu Xiu was able to sort out the offense smoothly in the second half of the second quarter. A very important point is that Kobe stared at him without causing substantial interference to him, but when Kobe went to assist in defense, it would be different.

For Liu Xiu, Kobe defending him is not much different from Fisher defending him.

And Kobe's supplementary defense and defense, the first defense boss, even if he is not proficient in supplementary defense and defense, it is not comparable to Fisher!

Liu Xiu advanced from the middle circle to the outside of the three-point line, sorted out the current situation in just two seconds, raised his left hand, and Randolph, who was fighting Malone, scored a '2' and went to the bottom line on the right. Pulled away, Travis Outlaw, who received the tactical notice, pulled to the top arc, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Travis Outlaw, and took Fisher to the low left of the three-second zone!

Liu Xiu and Randolph's low post back play tactics at the same time! '1' is Randolph, and '2' is Liu Xiulai!

A rookie point guard who can actually post up!

The Lakers didn't expect it.

And by coincidence, Fisher is very good at defending low post and back play. In the 1998 playoffs, Fisher defended Payton's back play very well, with excellent foot movement and enough tonnage...

The Lakers players are watching a good show, watching how Fisher defends Liu Xiu... As a result, when Liu Xiu received the ball, he directly knocked Fisher back!

Unlike Peyton's back punching technique and relatively graceful posture; unlike Mark Jackson and Andre Miller's vision, Liu Xiu relied on brute force to knock Fisher back to a reasonable level. On the left side of the collision zone, before Kobe shrunk in place, Liu Xiu turned around and hit the shot!

Kobe was sharp-eyed. Watching Liu Xiu and Randolph clapping their hands to celebrate, Kobe immediately thought that this is one of Randolph's back-fighting methods, and also one of O'Neal's back-fighting methods, forcibly crushing!

Based on a variety of factors, Kobe looked at Liu Xiu and felt unhappy.

Especially that sloppy expression…

A rookie with the 13th overall pick in the first round actually has the same expression as that man!

In Kobe's view, no one deserves it except that man!

But the more this is the case, the more Kobe pays attention to Liu Xiu tonight, and discovers that Liu Xiu really has many advantages... The interest is getting stronger!

On the other side, Liu Xiu hit one back and scored two points, and was happy when the system prompt came!

"The host has aroused Kobe Bryant's interest, task: My surname is Liu Trigger..."

I got two good news today, one is my condition. After a detailed examination, it was determined that it was a viral cold, accompanied by inflammation, taking medicine, eating more protein, rejecting spicy food, not drinking or smoking, and I will get better soon.

One is on the shelves on March 1~

That's it, I'm not feeling well in the past two days, I can write as much as possible, keep updated, take care of my body early, and prepare for the shelves~

Thank you for your support!
