Healing Basketball - Chapter 576

   Chapter 576 576. In short, the advantage is in me (6000 words)

   “The Great Magician: The state of the game.

  Copy objects:

   Teammate: Damon Stoudemire, Character Transformation Talent: Momonga…

Opponent: Chauncey Billups, matching 70%, characteristic transformation talent: top arc killer, bonus effect: when the host plays singles outside the free throw line, the mid-range shot +3, the three-pointer +3; the host is at the free throw line Pass the ball from outside the area, and it is easier to find the feeling of shooting within two seconds of receiving teammates. “

As expected by Liu Xiu, flounder’s talent is related to areas other than the high position. The area outside the top arc from the free throw line is Billups’ strongest position. So far this season, Billups has made 23 shots in the top arc. A three-pointer, first in the league.

   However, the reason why Billups was restrained by Kidd was also because he was in this position for nearly half of his output, whether it was scoring or passing, and Kidd’s one-on-one defense in the top arc area was one of the best in the league.

   But relatively speaking, it is easy to hit small cannons.

   After copying the talent, the talent tendency is also activated.

   “The host played with Ray Allen, talent: Marksman temporarily turned on…”

   “The host will play against Yao Ming, talent: Giant Killer is temporarily activated.

Offense: When the host shoots against an opponent with a height of 211 cm, the bounce +3, the speed of the bomb +3, and the layup +3. If the opponent completes the dunk against the opponent with a height of 211 cm, the next round will enter an absolutely hot state. .

  Defense: When the host defends against an opponent with a height of 211 cm, the speed +3, the strength +3, and the sense of smell of blocking the shot are greatly improved. If the block or steal is completed, the morale of the host’s team will be greatly improved.

  Note: The official height is calculated. When the actual height of the opponent reaches 211 cm but the height is false, the real height is calculated. “

coming!

finally come!

  Clap his hands, the magnesium powder scattered, Liu Xiu turned to look at Yao Ming, his eyes were fully opened, and his big eyes were shining with light.

  Yao Ming, who had just walked to the middle circle, felt fluffy. A light bulb appeared on his head. He found Ben Wallace and discussed it. Ben Wallace went to the middle circle to jump the ball.

   The pressure suddenly came to the champion of parallel imports who had just arrived in the middle circle.

   Jump ball with Yao Ming, Kwame Brown can laugh wildly, Big Ben, the speed of this cargo can not be underestimated, you have to play 12 points.

The Pistons sent a starting combination of Billups, Carter, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Yao Ming.

  The Blazers sent a starting combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.

   At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. The much-anticipated Blazers vs. Pistons game started!

   All-out Kwame Brown narrowly beat Ben Wallace to win the jump ball.

   was almost dragged down by the length of his palm, but he was half a head taller than the other party.

  Liu Xiu received the ball, and the Trail Blazers started offense…failed.

   Yao Ming at the top of the arc retreated directly to the basket, Ben Wallace didn’t have to block Kwame Brown, he just moved across to block Rahim.

   Liu Xiu quickly advanced to the frontcourt and then slowed down to play a positional battle. The change of rhythm failed to affect the Pistons’ defensive positioning.

Billups, wearing shoes of 191 cm, is about the same height as Liu Xiu. The weight of 90+ kilograms can ensure that he will not be easily crushed by Liu Xiu, which allows Carter to go to mine Allen and avoid shooting guard. The position presents too many height disadvantages.

   Billups carefully guarded the top arc. In theory, he is very suitable for defending Liu Xiu, but it is only a theory.

   However, Liu Xiu did not come by himself in the first attack, but gave the ball to Rahim.

   “Ben Wallace, 31 years old, 206 cm (?), 109 kg, PF/C, ability rating 80, offense—, defense 96…Averaged 6.3 points, 14.5 rebounds, 2.7 blocks per game…”

   Liu Xiu took a quick glance at Big Ben’s player detection reports, which were all 206 cm, and Rahim was obviously taller…

Raheem has the skills and athleticism of a small forward, and the physique of a power forward. It is true that Ben Wallace is the best defensive player, but Raheem still has a certain advantage in singles, but Ben Wallace did not choose to have to play. Defend Raheem one-on-one, but stick to the shot and strengthen the confrontation.

  Raheem seized the opportunity to pass Ben Wallace and enter the basket… Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone, Kwame-Brown received the ball, and a close-range jumper outside the three-second zone… Missed!

   Yao Ming pressed out and spread his arms, Kwame Brown and Raheem immediately turned to retreat, and Ben Wallace easily took the defensive rebound.

   Liu Xiu, who retreated from defense, felt a toothache.

   How many steps did Yao Ming take to protect the frame and the rebounding position?

Offensive and defensive transition, the Pistons attacked, Carter opened up space for the face, Billups stably hoisted the ball to Yao Ming under Liu Xiu’s rough confrontation, Yao Ming received the ball by hitting Kwame Brown, turned and hooked hit!

  Kwame Brown suffocated his head to pick up the ball and serve, strength, skill, timing, Yao Ming’s combination of the three is even better!

   Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. At this moment, when he saw the top five starters on the opposite side, he seemed to see a tiger with a big mouth!

   After a round of offense and defense, he really reached the strength of the Pistons.

   A strong sense of oppression lingered in his heart, which made him more calm, ignoring the noise of the scene, and his thoughts were extraordinarily clear.

   Don’t try, come by yourself!

Kwame Brown saw the change in Liu Xiu’s dribbling movements, and he didn’t need to remind him. Li Mara went to the top arc to help Liu Xiu block Billups. Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to break through and expanded to prevent the pick-and-roll. Ben Wallace did a great job. Very good, covering Liu Xiu’s shooting space, and can very well delay Liu Xiu’s breakthrough, but!

  Ben-Wallace did not expect Liu Xiu to take the initiative to lean towards him!

  Liu Xiu leaned on Ben Wallace sideways. Ben Wallace wanted to block Liu Xiu’s next move, but Liu Xiu held it tight and turned around to break through!

After such a fierce confrontation, the Pistons’ flank players did not make up for the middle. They believed that Ben Wallace turned to chase and Yao Ming’s shrinking of the basket guard was enough to prevent Liu Xiu. Yao Ming, who was at the bottom line, chose to cut Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu first. Raheem’s pass-and-receive line on the bottom line, Prince and Carter on the flanks followed the outlaw madman and Ray Allen… Then he saw Liu Xiu turn around and enter the inside line like lightning, flying before Yao Ming retracted into place. Made a layup.

  Yao Ming: I’m dazzled? ? ?

   This guy turns around after a confrontation, faster than he has enough space to start after the pick-and-roll?

   Yao Ming said when he picked up the ball and sent it to Billups: “The warden seems to have seen through our rotation defense.”

   “It doesn’t matter, only him, no butcher, can’t break our defense.” Billups answered the ball and turned around to advance.

  Yao Ming, who followed Billups to the frontcourt, felt Billups’ composure.

   It feels a bit like playing with Liu Xiu in the Olympics last summer. This is the point guard partner he wants!

After    Billups went to the frontcourt, he launched an attack on the top arc, focusing on Yao Ming’s stronger three-point singles ability than last season.

  Billups’ high one-on-one singles ability exceeded Liu Xiu’s ability to see the value of the “offensive evaluation” from the player detection report.

The reason for this is that Billups’ style of play is too turbulent. He is most accurate from the top arc beyond the three-point line to the area above the free throw line, but his shot points are not concentrated in this area, but casually. Wherever there is a chance or feel that there is a chance to shoot, so I made a personal performance where the mid-range and close-range shooting rate dragged down the three-point shooting rate.

After Liu Xiu guarded Billups for two rounds in the top arc, he could only switch to the extrajudicial madman. At this time, Carter had a better chance of singles. If Carter is guarded, Ray Allen is not easy to use. Liu Xiu more stable.

Ben Wallace is also critical to the Pistons’ offense. He goes to the wing to play off-ball pick-and-rolls for Carter or Prince. The Blazers can’t say that they can easily let both off-ball pick-and-roll defenders go. Flank Carter or Prince.

   Ben Wallace, a physical player, give him a sprint line that goes straight to the basket, not to mention Kwame Brown, Yao Ming is a pain in the defensive.

  Based on Yao Ming’s inside attack, the Pistons attacked very smoothly, scoring 14 points in the first half.

The Blazers’ offense, as Yao Ming thought, Liu Xiu analyzed what kind of defense the Pistons would use to deal with him. Just knowing how the opponent would defend doesn’t mean that he knew how to deal with the opponent’s defense. Representatives can do it.

The Pistons strictly guarded Ray Allen; chose to focus on Raheem’s defense, such as Raheem’s cut into the frame and shots from both sides of the free throw line, and others can choose to put it; Mid-range shot from the side bottom line and three-pointers from the bottom corners on both sides; defending Kwame Brown…Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown pick-and-roll, Billups directly shorted Kwame Brown, and received the flank to help cut off the passing and receiving lines, mainly Help Yao Ming cut off Liu Xiu and Rahim’s passing and receiving lines.

   In the first half of the quarter, the Blazers did not play a few teamwork attacks. The teamwork was not as efficient as Liu Xiu’s single-play storm, and only scored 7 points in the half quarter!

  7 to 14, the Trail Blazers trailed the Pistons by 7 points and called a timeout!

  …

   Official Suspension Phase.

  Kwame Brown wiped his sweat and said dejectedly: “Warden, why do I feel like every opponent knows us well, and we don’t know those opponents so well?”

  Liu Xiu knew that the ‘opponent’ mentioned by the parallel champion refers to the championship-level opponents like the Pistons. They have 12 wins and 2 losses. Most of the opponents played against the opposite side, and the two losses were still a problem of state.

After drinking a glass of vegetable juice, Liu Xiu replied: “Nonsense, we are the defending champions, after Lei joined, we have become the most championship-looking team, the number one favorite to win the championship, and the number one imaginary enemy of all other championship-level teams is us. , not just championship-level teams, all teams will want to know more about us, but also want to beat us, we have to fight against all championship-winning opponents, and will not deliberately target a certain opponent Gather intelligence and research data, and it must be early in the season to study each other when it is time to fight…”

  The teammates heard the questions and answers from the parallel champion and the warden. Although they could not solve the current predicament, for some reason, their confidence and pride were greatly improved, and the pressure was also reduced.

   But the pressure on the coaching staff has not eased, Maurice Cheeks is quite helpless, Rahim is fighting hard, and coming off the bench is very useful, like a dimensionality reduction blow, but he really doesn’t move in the starting lineup! The attacking ability is not enough to become the main attack point of the frontcourt of the championship-level team.

  Sudden, bold ideas are coming!

  Maurice Cheeks asked the vice president, “When I was chatting with the warden in the morning, what was the best way to deal with the little giant?”

   The vice president recalled for a moment, and answered not so sure: “War of attrition?”

  Maurice Cheeks nodded: “Yes, this is it!”

   After a one-minute break, Maurice Cheeks began to adjust the lineup and play style.

The    lineup is quite conventional. Momonga and Liu Xiu were dispatched in the backcourt, and Ray Allen, Raheem and McDyess were dispatched in the frontcourt.

There is nothing wrong with not sending Mourning or Kwame Brown, the two big centers. The Pistons sent the lineup, Ben Wallace returned to the center position, the power forward position sent Jason Mark Hill, and the perimeter sent more than The combination of Lupus, Carter, and Maurice Evans.

   is the way of play, a bit aggressive…

Back from the timeout, the Trail Blazers attacked, the Momoko advanced to the front court and passed the ball to Liu Xiu, pulled it to a 45-degree angle, Liu Xiu borrowed McDyess to break through the pick-and-roll, and continued to break through with Ben Wallace turning around and breaking through Attacking the frame, Ben Wallace couldn’t stop it, Liu Xiu went straight to the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket across the rookie Mark Hill at the end of the first round!

   Liu Xiu suddenly strengthened his back and turned around to break through to the start. Tonight, he caught the Pistons by surprise. When Yao Ming was there before the Pistons, they were able to block and defend.

   But now Yao Ming has been replaced to rest, and the 201-centimeter player Mark Hill has shrunk, and Liu Xiu directly chooses to buckle.

  Unfortunately, neither the 201-centimeter Mark Hill nor the self-proclaimed 206-centimeter Ben Wallace meet the triggering conditions for the ‘Giant Killer’.

   When the Pistons attacked, Maurice Evans received the ball and singled against the Flying Squirrel. The team had the absolute initiative, and the singles advantage was so great that the careless Morris Evans was shot by the Flying Squirrel!

  The ball hits Morris Evans’s leg and pops out of bounds, turnover, Trail Blazers possession! It’s the Blazers’ offense again!

   Liu Xiu continued to play pick-and-roll with McDyess, this time it was Mark Hill who expanded the defense, and Ben Wallace himself guarded the frame.

   Watching Liu Xiu turn around and dash forward, then Ben Wallace knew what Yao Ming and Mark Hill were facing in the first half!

   This ball Ben Wallace was conceited and did not press it in advance, Liu Xiu had the space to rush up at full speed and directly attack the frame!

Ben Wallace can only foul to stop Liu Xiu from dipping again. The action is very rough. After Liu Xiu was pulled down, he did not miss the opportunity to pull and confront him. After standing firm, he lifted Ben Wallace to hold him. Hand, Ben Wallace’s violent temper immediately posted it to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu naturally did not hesitate, and the two were entangled together.

  The referee came in time and separated the two, but did not sound the whistle, and gave a warning to both sides and it was over.

   After stopping the conflict, the referee confirmed the whistle blow just now, Ben Wallace fouled defensively, and Liu Xiu got two free throws.

  Philip Saunders stood up and beckoned to Yao Ming. Looking at Liu Xiu walking to the free throw line, he felt that this kid was too smart!

There was a conflict, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger, but the players on both sides were more aware that they had to be calm and not fight. The ‘Rose Garden Incident’ that year was now called the ‘War of the Warden’s Arrival’. The Pistons have almost no high-quality free agents to join in the past two seasons. The biggest free agent introduction in the past two years is Darius Myers, who left the Blazers.

   On the other side of the fight, the Trail Blazers are much less affected, Portland is more attractive than Detroit, and the salary conditions are better.

   Of course, the Trail Blazers don’t dare to fight easily, but a skirmish under this premise is more beneficial to the Trail Blazers in Philip Saunders’ view! If you don’t fight, it will naturally turn into a more brutal defensive confrontation. Both sides are teams that are not afraid of confrontation, but the Blazers playing at home is obviously more beneficial.

   On the court, Liu Xiu made the first free throw, and the whistle for a substitution sounded.

   Watching Yao Ming run up and replace Mark Hill, Liu Xiuting admired the coach’s bold idea.

   The head coach on the opposite side is as steady as ever!

   I’m still a little nervous, Liu Xiu’s second penalty!

  10-14, the Trail Blazers trailed by 4 points.

   Tension comes from pressure. Their goal is to take advantage of the overly cautious and steady characteristics of the opponent’s coach to force Yao Ming up. Now they have succeeded, but they have to face the opponent’s continued reign of terror with the twin towers of Little Giant + Big Ben.

   However, since it is said to be a reign of terror, it is really terrifying!

   In the next 4 minutes, the Pistons beat the Blazers 16-6!

  Strengthen the confrontation. At present, the Trail Blazers “shot themselves in the foot”, and they are more affected.

Yao Ming scored 9 points on 3 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in the first quarter, Carter 5 points and 2 assists, Billups 8 points and 3 assists, plus Ben Wallace, Prince, Maurice Evan Sri Lanka and others scored 8 points on the cake, and the Pistons scored 30 points in a single quarter.

As for the Trail Blazers… Liu Xiu was probably the best player in the game, hitting 3-of-5 from the field with a high hit rate. Although he made no three-pointers, plus 2-of-3 free throws, he also scored 8 points in a single quarter and played the first quarter. Although the ball-handling rate is not as high as that of Billups, it is not low, but only 1 turnover.

   However, Liu Xiu himself did not expect that he had 0 assists in a single quarter!

   The team made 2 assists and 4 turnovers in a single quarter, and the team made 6 of 20 shots!

  In addition to Liu Xiu’s 8 points, only Ray Allen scored a cut-in and dropped 2+1, Momo had a 3-pointer, and Kwame Brown made a tip-up, and it was gone…

   After the first quarter, the Pistons led the Trail Blazers 30-16 by 14 points!

  …

   Entering the inter-season break and returning to the bench, the teammates focused their attention on Liu Xiu.

   Liu Xiu, who can score 8 points in a single quarter with a 60% shooting rate, is the only support for his teammates under the “Jordan Rule” defense on the opposite side.

   Need to say something, Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and said, “The little giant has been playing for 11 minutes. He has made a lot of singles shots, and his defense is also very hard. The playing time in the second quarter will not be very high… The advantage is me!”

  Maurice Cheeks laughed out loud on the spot, Liu Xiu rolled his eyes and looked at the coach, give some face!

  However, this “advantage is mine” argument made the air that the Blazers bench seemed to freeze a lot easier.

  Although it makes people laugh, but it really is such a thing.

   The second quarter on the opposite side is unlikely to give Yao Ming too much playing time, otherwise Yao Ming’s state in the second half will be very different from the first half, which is clearly written in the scouting report.

  The reason why the coaching staff and Liu Xiu still have confidence is precisely because of this. Now is the time to really take advantage of the stable coaching style of the opposing coach!

   Back from the break, the Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Stevenson, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

The Pistons sent a combination of Tony Delk, Carter, Prince, Amir Johnson, and Ben Wallace.

The combination of Liu Xiu and Stevenson started a hand-to-hand defense against Carter and Prince. Payton also did a good job of defending against Tony Delk, plus Kwame Brown and Mourning’s iron-blooded confrontation. …Finally, in the second quarter, creating conflict to elevate the confrontation also played a role in the Pistons!

   In the first 4 minutes, the Blazers only scored 7 points, but the Pistons only scored 4 points.

  The Blazers also gave the Pistons a super defensive shockwave! The score was chased to 23 to 34, and the difference was reduced to 11 points!

  As expected by Liu Xiu, although Philip Saunders replaced Billups to strengthen his offense, he did not replace Yao Ming after a timeout until 10 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter.

   In these 6 minutes, the Pistons only scored 8 points, the Blazers scored 9-8, 32-42, and the Blazers narrowed the difference to 10 points!

   In the last 1 minute and 49 seconds, the Pistons replaced Yao Ming, and they failed to reverse the decline of the offensive end for a while. During this period, the Pistons only scored 2 points, while the Blazers scored 4 points.

  The Trail Blazers beat the Pistons 20-14, 36-44 in a single quarter, chasing the point difference to 8 points, within double digits!

Liu Xiu made 2 of 5 shots in the second quarter, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. !

For the Pistons, Yao Ming had 10 points in the half, Billups had 10 points in the half, Carter had 9 points in the half, and Ben Wallace had 6 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in the half. The four star data exploded, and the score still dominated absolute initiative.

   However, they were a little panicked!

   The Trail Blazers made 8 of 22 shots in the second quarter, and the difference from 6 of 20 in the first quarter was not particularly big.

   But the Pistons made 5 of 23 shots in the second quarter, which is not a star and a half worse than the offensive performance of 10 of 18 shots in the first quarter!

   And the Pistons guys feel weird!

   In previous years, it was they who dragged their opponents into defensive battles, and used all-around defense to consume their opponents to score extremely low scores.

  Tonight this situation seems to be reversed!

   For the Trail Blazers without Randolph, the Pistons developed a very good team defense, but the opponent took the initiative to drag the game into a defensive battle.

   Leading by 8 points, the advantage must still be on the Pistons. They are leading no matter what, but they just feel very uneasy.

   At this time, the role of a coach with a godfather aura is reflected. Philip Saunders is like a needle in the sea at this moment.

   Back in the locker room, Philip Saunders had a straight waist, his expression was not relaxed, but he was not nervous, he spoke slowly, and adjusted in an orderly manner…
