Healing Basketball Chapter 454

Chapter 454 454. Initiative

The extrajudicial fanatics replaced Raheem in the starting lineup, relying on the poor defense of the Suns. Randolph attacked alone, accompanied by a small forward who responded with a mid-range shot, a center who ate a cake, and more adequate tactical preparation. The performance in the starting stage was even better than the previous two games!

This gave D'Antoni a feeling of 'I found a sweet and powerful power'. When he saw Raheem coming off the bench, his face was distorted with envy, jealousy and hatred... Some people said that his eight-member rotation was murder Player, if he has the deep lineup of the overly free-looking head coach on the opposite side, he can play the 12-man rotation to the fullest!

After D'Antoni's emotions stirred for a while, he comforted himself - 8-player rotation also has the benefits of 8-player rotation, and his strength is strong and stable.

And this was the most painful part of Maurice Cheeks' first two games with the Suns.

Hidden injuries, overdrafted players, few changes in the playoffs... These issues with the Suns are completely unimportant to an opponent who only plays against the Suns once a month or two!

As an opponent, Maurice Cheeks felt the Suns' invincible offense and the best stability in the league when he played against the Suns the first two times.

So, Maurice Cheeks put Raheem and Payton on the bench to strengthen the rotation.

However, against a team like the Suns, a lot of things have been prepared, just prepared, whether it can come in handy and whether it can achieve the desired effect is another matter.

If it wasn't for Liu Xiu's two stunning snaps and this shocking block to start tonight, the Blazers would have been able to take the initiative.

After all, did the Suns pay any attention to our Blazers? They were fully prepared after the game, and their offensive tactics were well prepared and in good condition.

But BarbosCheeks is very open, I have done everything I can, it depends on the performance of the players!

And my kind of restrained character, that kind of time can always let the tense team members relax a little bit.

Pause back.

The Suns sent a combination of Nash, Cong Yingwan, Joe Johnson, Jim Jay, and Steven Hunter.

The Blazers sent a combination of Big Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Schick, Vin Hunter, and McDyess.

The Suns retreat.

Nash pushed back to the backcourt, and the one defending me became Clump Shadow.

Whether Nash chose to play singles, he continued to play pick-and-roll and retreat, Cong Yingwan came out to block Cong Ying, and McDyess expanded to defend.

The pick-and-roll cooperation with Da Bawang is the same. Whether the pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Cong Yingwan is so fierce and rigid, and the ability to attack the frame is so weak, but it can better pull the Blazers' defensive formation!

Cong Yingwan's flank cut into the gliding dunk that received even the ball and scored two points!

Brazil Lightning!

Anthony's passionate play blows up the audience!

Offense and defense transition, Big Momonga pushed back to the backcourt, whether he came on his own or cooperated with the team, and passed it to Cong Yingwan, who was leaning on Jimjie on the left side of the eight-second zone.

Schick caught the ball and turned to face the basket. Eight threats stood up and feinted with a shot. Jim Jay had to take off, yes, that guy can really shoot!

Scike slowly recovered the ball, dribbled the ball, and evaded Cong Yingwan and dashed back to the basket!

Stephen Hunter defensively took it back to the basket, Schick grabbed the ball and leaned down, flexibly turned two steps around Steven Hunter, came to Stephen Hunter's back, and took off , backhand layup!

Single scoring VS team retreat and continue to walk!

Nash and Jim Jay used a pick-and-roll tandem to retreat in a positional battle, and Schick and Momonga responded with a single.

The Suns played an enemy counter-attack, run-and-gun, and the Trail Blazers did not have the defensive counterattack of the Big Momonga and the Warden's "Double Flying Squirrel Impact".

It's true that the Suns were weaker when they fought back. Then the Suns played a 9-4. The Blazers made 2 of 4 shots and scored 4 points during that time. It was definitely a poor performance, but the Suns made all 4 shots. Among them, one of them is still 2+1!

Relying on that big low tide, the Suns overtook the Trail Blazers by two points 27-25!

Without the experience of the last two losses, the Blazers played very orderly and insisted on playing according to the established style of play. Whether or not they made 'self-adjustment' because the score was overtaken. It's not a compliment word, but a neutral word, with no adjectives behind it, and no lessons from the last two fights, whether Liu Xiu and my teammates made any blind adjustments, and we fought again in those rounds. Poor, it's just that the other party went wild.

Perseverance was rewarded, and the Blazers then returned a wave of 8-5 to retake the lead with a score of 33-32.

With 22 seconds left in the first quarter, the Suns called a timeout to play the first attack!

Marioni just wanted to overtake the score in the first quarter and dampen the spirit of the Blazers, but unfortunately called a timeout at that point.

As for whether it is to interrupt the rhythm of the Blazers first, and be afraid of throwing, the Blazers will fight back?

It is possible, I have full confidence in my tactics and my team.

BarbossCheeks easily guessed the opponent's intentions, and turned his head to make adjustments.

After the suspension came back, the Suns sent a combination of Nash, Joe Johnson, Jim Jackson, Jim Jay, and the Big King; the Trail Blazers sent Payton, Liu Xiu, Farry, Kwame Brown, and McDyess. combination.

That ball, Marioni handed over to Joe Johnson for singles!

That decision caught the Blazers by surprise. The Farriers and McDyess were ready to defend the pick-and-roll, Kwame Brown's rim protector, Cong Shadow and Payton to block the flank defense, and the result was nothing.

Seeing through the opponent's defensive intentions, Marioni called himself the seventh in the league. Does anyone dare to jump out and be the first?

Did Joe Johnson let Marioni down? Peyton, the singles in the line, pulled one step and made an eight-point shot... Hit!

35 to 33, the Suns overtake by two points!

Cong Yingwani is very satisfied with Joe Johnson's performance, but it's a pity that we stayed as a resident... After all, we still have money.

Look at the Big Flying Squirrel and Schick, who are on the bench tonight. The two brothers' salaries added up to $27.13 million that season, which is slowly catching up with the salary of our Suns starting lineup.

Envy, jealousy, hate, must win tonight!

We finally overtake the score in the first quarter. The opponent started so well, and we still overtook the score, which will inevitably cause a very small blow to the opponent's morale, and there are still no 9 seconds. If the opponent plays slowly, we have it. There is no possibility of another counterattack to expand the lead!

Just as the corners of Marioni's mouth lifted, the whistle sounded, and the other side also called a timeout!

Marioni called a timeout with 22 seconds left. The Blazers called a timeout with 9 seconds left, and it was Marioni's turn to feel small.

That is the first 9 seconds of the game, but the first 9 seconds of the first quarter!

Marioni is very interested, so is BarbosCheeks, that timeout was called by me, Liu Xiu!

Being overtaken by the opponent at the very first moment, it was a pity that he could not turn into a substantial lead from a good start, but BarbosCheeks was not slowing down.

It was the same as Cong Yingwani thought that it could dampen the morale of the Blazers. BarbosCheeks knew that it would affect our determination to win that game. We can handle that blow.

But Liu Xiu is going to give it a try and get the lead to start the first quarter, that tone, the battle is settled!

After 20 seconds of short pause, Liu Xiu was talking nonsense. He returned to the bench and took the tactical board picked up by the coach.

Cong Yingwan-Cheeks surrounded by the players: What about the tactical board? How did you meet such a small tactical board?

The 20-second pause was very slow, and the players of the two teams returned to the court. The Suns replaced Jim Jackson with Cong Yingwan, and the seven players of Nash, Joe Johnson, Jim Jay, and the Big King continued to play.

Marioni's idea is too obvious, still looking forward to the Trail Blazers' slow-back attacking shots and hitting counterattacks in the middle...

The Trail Blazers called a timeout before and after the serve. In Marioni's view, the possibility of getting a counterattack has become less likely!

came back from a timeout, and the Trail Blazers retreated.

Big Flying Squirrel slowly pushed back to the eight-point line after receiving the serve. Liu Xiu's flank used Wen Hunter to block Cong Yingwan and cut to the right side of the eight-second zone. Big Flying Squirrel had an unprepared singles with the ball, waiting for Cong Ying to cut in. , The timing of passing the ball is very good, and the person arrives at the ball!

Liu Xiugang stepped on the right sideline of the eight-second zone to receive the ball, and the Suns immediately assembled in place... It was wrong to say that it was my flank who used a screen to cut in, and the Suns players had already shrunk and retreated.

is because Cong Ying scored 9 points on 3 of 5 shots in the first quarter, but these two dunks...

But after a group of Suns teamed up successfully, Liu Xiu grabbed the opponent's gap and sent the ball out in time!

Wen Hunter came to the bottom right corner of the eight-second zone before dismantling. Cong Yingwan and Cong Yingwan went to chase and defend Liu Xiu. I was in a small gap after receiving the ball from Cong Ying!

Is there any chance of wasted, Cong Yingwan catches the ball and hits an eight-pointer!

36 to 35, the Trail Blazers regained a 1-point lead!

Marioni's expectations are shattered! It was only a counterattack that was played, and then the Suns ball was sent out and was slapped and stolen by Liu Xiu, who was actively rushing.

Yes, it took Liu Xiu a while to grab the ball in the confrontation with Cong Yingwan after he dropped the ball. When he threw the ball before grabbing the ball, the ball was still fully lifted. already rang.

Relying on Liu Xiu's lowest single quarter performance of 9 points and 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the Blazers started the first quarter with a 1-point lead!

Really played well in the first quarter with the Suns who are at home and in good shape!

Huo Tu, Bu Shuai, and the vice president looked at Liu Xiu surrounded by teammates, and they really felt it!

The warden of his own is a mature suggestion, and the head coach daring to use it, the effect is so good!

Besides a Morris-level team, there are no two very extreme teams at home, one is the Rockets at home, and the other is the Suns who performed brutally at home!

So far this season, the Suns have played 69 games, of which 35 games have not been played at home, and they have achieved a record of 30 wins and 5 losses, an absolute super home game!

Of course, the Suns' "home dragon" is only relative to the Suns themselves. We, who are 30 wins and 5 losses at home, actually have no super weak performance of 24 wins and 10 losses on the road.

However, the top away performance with a 10% win rate is a younger brother after an 85.7% home win rate.

The Suns, who play at home, can be called enemies.

Although he has not yet been tested by Morris, it is Morris now. Trying to defend with Morris's defensive method, this whistle is absolutely flying.

In the preparatory stage of the coaching staff after the preparations, they called Cong Ying, Payton and other players to participate in the tactical discussion.

To play against a team like the Suns on the road, the original plan was to use the experience and lessons of the next two games as the basis, to play steadily, and to implement weak tactics... Those were all used tonight.

But the core of the play style and the coaching staff's plan are completely the same!

The coaching staff wants to take advantage of the opponent's poor defense and good depth of their own lineup, the main team retreats, everyone scores points, and the whole nation is a soldier.

Liu Xiu's suggestion is to focus on singles scoring, create fewer singles opportunities, play superstar basketball, and play the success rate of stars.

In the opinion of the coaching staff, Cong Ying's suggestion is not unreasonable.

Playing a team offensive and defensive battle is actually completely falling into the rhythm of the Suns. The Suns once did not have 5 players with an average of 15+ per game. If so, the Trail Blazers' chances are small.

On that point, the Blazers coaching staff was vague.

However, when the team retreats, the upper limit of the team's strength can be guaranteed. When the opponent's state is good, complacent, etc., or when their own state is excellent, they can seize the opportunity more steadily.

Not yet, the star play style always gives people a feeling of 'high-end tactics'. It is like playing a team retreating attack, and the team retreating attack strategy needs to surround one or a few stars, and it is like a single core with a group of characters. Players... Tactics also have no chain of contempt. At the end, a 'chain of tactical contempt' appeared in the fan group, which came to be quoted by the media. Up to now, professional coaches who originally sneered at that kind of statement are also consciously infected with it. a view.

On the basis of the Suns who are so weak at home and away, serious coaches will choose a steady and steady strategy, but the problem is that the Blazers coach is serious...

No chance to turn passive into active, BarbosCheeks timidly choose to give it a try!

How reliable is the strategy around the star's singles scoring, betting on luck, betting on the star's feel... But the Blazers are the one with the upper hand. The Suns are the dominant team in the regular season, and it takes a certain amount to win. Luck, BarbossCheeks gambled!

Apparently, the Blazers had a lot of luck tonight!

Liu Xiu's two buckles made it possible for me to compress the opponent's defense very little as long as I retreated into close range.

The Suns have always played a weak defense, and there is basically no defensive adjustment on the spot. Liu Xiu's threat to the basket is limited and lessened. The most important thing is that Liu Xiu played the ball a small part of the time, and gave the ball to Rahim, Big Momonga, Schick... Minimized the threat of attacking the frame, and the Blazers scored 36 points in a single quarter!

And that is not dependent on the state. The state of the Blazers players can only be said to be quite satisfactory. It is really taking advantage of the threat brought by Liu Xiu's two brutal dunks, although there is basically nothing in the expected situation. There are similarities, but it is precisely the 'stars' singles autonomy' in the tactical framework that is given to the players, so there is no attacking performance in that section.

There is no Buzdeweike's defensive response. Although the final result was used by Marioni in turn, the Suns played better at close range, but they limited the opponent's 8 points per game. The Suns, who made 25 8-pointers and hit 9.9 8-pointers, finished the first quarter tonight with only 4 8-point shots!

On the other side, the Suns bench.

Compared to the Blazers coaching staff who thought very simply, Marioni thought very complicated.

The opportunity to reverse the situation and regain the initiative was seized, and we will wait for the last time.

The point I care about is another thing.

Looking at the opposite backup defender Keith Vinhunt, Marioni is jealous!

If I don't have Wen Hunter, play center, and go off the court with Jim Jay, what will I have to tear up the opponent's defense?

As for Vin Hunter's center defense... that's another story.

It would be nice if Da Bawang didn't have a mid-range shot...

Come back from a break between festivals.

The Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Schick, Vin Hunter, and McDyess.

The Suns sent a combination of Nash, Anthony, Jim Jackson, Stoudemire, and Steven Hunter.

The commentator looked at the Suns' lineup and counted them with his fingers. The Suns have sent a total of 8 players tonight.

Just look at the attendance list of the Suns that season. So far, there are only 7 players who have played more than 40 times in the Suns. If the traded Casey Jacobson is traded and traded back to replace Kay West Jacobson's Jim Jackson counts as one person, that's 8 players with more than 40 appearances.

For the Blazers, before Payton came off the bench, 11 people had already been sent to the 12-man active list.

The only thing in common in the rotation of the two teams - the star of the family is dead, and Nash and Liu Xiu continue to play.

was very slow, the seventh quarter ended, and the two teams continued to fight back.

Payton pushed back singles Nash in the backcourt!

It's been a long time since you acted as the absolute core of the attack. Payton was not a little excited, and he made a weak step… A little careless, although Nash's defense is good, his speed and reaction are extremely slow. Is there any change in Payton's weak sudden? Blocked by Nash!

Just when Nash came out with the ecstasy of "Peton is really old, and tonight you finally have to show your defense", Payton, who came up with enthusiasm, turned around and leaned on Nash, pushed Nash a step further with his butt, and turned around. Abruptly to the top corner of the left side of the free throw line, the rhythm of the back play is excellent, the slow stop jump shot ... hit!

Nash was named again!

Liu Xiu, Big Momonga, Payton, Nash defends whoever is weaker!

The big bully on the inside felt the same way as Nash at that moment.

When the tyrant was protecting the frame, Schick and Rahim, whoever played the main attack point in the backcourt, were all attacking the inside line weakly.

Liu Xiu continued to play with the ball, narrowing the range of threats, restraining defense, and giving teammates better chances to score the ball in singles.

In particular, the threat of a player due to one or two throwbacks will increase as the game progresses.

But Liu Xiu said yes, after a break, not only did my threat increase, but the Suns players seemed to have discussed how to better block me from attacking the frame!

The Suns' defensive change seems so outrageous, but it's also intriguing.

Because that's the Suns, a team that does everything except back offense.

With the threat of Liu Xiu, the Blazers continued to fight against the Suns.

It seems that the Suns retreated a little harder. At 11 minutes and 49 seconds of the seventh quarter, the Suns overtook the Blazers by 1 point 64-62. The seventh quarter is about to start, and the Suns game 29-26. 3 points ahead of the Blazers!

Immediately after the Blazers' first attack, Liu Xiu's flank made a cut in with a cover fake, and suddenly stopped and ran to the left sideline.

At the same time, Rahim played a high-level single, and scored the ball to the Fari madman who cut into the free throw line in the middle. Fari madman stopped the ball to the left sideline with his freehand. Liu Xiu caught the ball at a 30-degree angle on the left, and the angle was very positive. He turned around and shot with eight points... retreated!

11 minutes and 58 seconds, with two seconds left in the second half, the Trail Blazers overtook the Suns 65-64 and regained a 1-point lead!

As Nash caught the ball and threw an eight-pointer from the frontcourt and flew out of the opposite baseline, after halftime, relying on Cong Ying's 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the half, the Blazers continued to lead the Suns by 1 point!

Although the point difference is large, the Trail Blazers playing away is equivalent to firmly controlling the initiative off the court!

The Blazers are in a very low mood right now.

What I originally thought was that it would be good to have a better grasp of the score tonight, to seize the possible opportunities without a lower grasp, and to have no possibility of winning. After halftime, the Blazers players really did. Waiting for an opportunity, but waiting for an opportunity to narrow the score gap, overtake the score, seize the situation... and other opportunities for the losing team, but an opportunity to expand the lead!

Don't look at the Suns' 8 points in the seventh quarter, relying on the Big Overlord, to overtake the score for a time. In that match, the Trail Blazers were completely panicked when the score was overtaken! In the last two games, if the Trail Blazers were overtaken before they took the lead, there would be a possibility of not taking the lead again. This sense of oppression was so weak that it exploded.

That time, as the game deepened, the confidence of the Blazers players became weaker and weaker!

Really showed confidence!

What excites Liu Xiu is that his teammates were less motivated than usual before they showed confidence. Before returning to the locker room, a small number of players threw themselves into preparing for the first half of the game as I did before finishing their physical problems. .

The teammates in the future are also cold-hearted in the game and active in preparing for the battle, but compared with the present, there is no very subtle difference.

Liu Xiu later heard that Wu's players or teams had changed because of a certain opponent. Although there were some beliefs when listening to them, they thought it was an extremely rare and ordinary story, but when a similar situation really happened, I found that. It came very special.

In the next two games against the Suns, we were beaten. Although the performance of the Blazers so far this season has exceeded our own expectations, we also said, 'I'm afraid of the Suns, we are just a regular season team', and we played again. At times, I can see fear in the game... But in reality, I still have no fear in my heart, so I play harder, more desperate and more hesitant to play tactics, and I want to play the best.

After halftime, we really had no back-and-forth with the Suns. Even after halftime, we still had a firm control of the initiative, dominated the game, and led the score. The star broke out, but the small family worked together to play an advantage...

There is no way to say that the league changed the rules that time, as if it opened a new era for the Suns.

Although that statement is just a joke, when the league changed the rules, the Suns were still fishy, and some people expected that we would be able to take off in place without a Nash.

However, just looking at the results, the league's revision of the rules did directly prompt Nash to take off and the Suns to take off!

No Suns is just a regular season team, but at the same time there is no saying that "the era of light" is coming. Nash has become the absolute number one unpopular MVP. Experts and fans who support the Suns and agree with Nash are in the majority.

Now, the Blazers players have come up with an idea, which deeply stimulates and inspires us - a new era, the protagonist is only without the Suns and without you!

Liu Xiu felt the changes in his teammates. Even if I lost that game, I also felt that I made a profit... Yes, losing is still a good loss. It involves several tasks. I quickly hurry up and think about how to play in the first half...
