Chapter 1033: Logo man's loss

  Chapter 1033 1033.logo man's damage

  Wade reacted quickly and immediately turned around to chase after Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu rushed into the three-point line under Wade's defense, grabbed the ball at the free throw line, squeezed Wade away with brute force, and then performed a European step. Wade pressed up again and made an empty shot. side, pulled up on the spot, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

  Wade's cheeks became bulging again.

   He has gained 220 pounds!

   And the opponent is obviously not the 230-pound body at the beginning of last season, but his strength is still at a disadvantage!

  He can carry Bosh and Nowitzki in the low position!

  At this moment, he understood that the opponent's strength was not purely based on weight, but a strength monster itself.

   But such a powerful monster, why do you need such a large weight?

  He feels that even if Liu Xiu’s weight is reduced to less than 200 pounds, his strength will not lose to him, and his speed may be faster.

  Wade was thinking wildly because the strength he was proud of was suppressed, but Liu Xiu, who was retreating, focused on a completely different point.

  Everyone felt that Wade was intercepted just now because Liu Xiu succeeded in a gambled rush. If Wade was focused enough just now, he could turn the error into the final score, and Wade himself felt the same way.

  But Liu Xiu reacted instantly after confirming that it was an excellent opportunity to steal!

  The role of "prison killing" is not limited to offense, the improvement of offensive reading ability on the defensive end is also strong!

  Moreover, the stronger the offensive and defensive ends, the stronger the effect of 'Prisoner Kill'!

   It was still the Heat's offense. Wade advanced to the frontcourt and carefully protected the ball, waiting for his teammates to move positions to press time and grind the position.

  While waiting, he observed the defensive positions of the rest of the Trail Blazers, focused on the breakthrough, and looked for Liu Xiu's defensive flaws... Something is wrong!

  He discovers that he can do anything!

   This is not to say that Liu Xiu's defense is full of loopholes, but that Liu Xiu's defensive position can play a very balanced role!

  Wade thinks that he can do anything because of his strong breakthrough ability. Even if Liu Xiu defends well, he still has a way.

  But the reason why he is a bit at a loss now is that he feels that he can't find a more suitable way to break through! Strong sudden change, direction change, cross step... It seems that the effects are similar, and they will all be greatly disturbed.

  In this situation, for someone like him who likes to rely on instinct when breaking through, it is a lot more headache than most options being locked and only one option left.

  When all the options looked similar, he finally chose the easiest way to break through—rely on the first step to make a breakthrough!

   This is within Liu Xiu's expectations!

  Liu Xiu moved her footsteps in time. Although she didn't stop Wade's advance, she restricted the direction of Wade's breakthrough, and relied on her strength advantage to prevent Wade from performing the European step.

  Kwame-Brown’s timing of the encirclement was well grasped, and it was very tacit. Although Wade made a quick shot before the formation of the encirclement, it was too hasty and the force was not well controlled.

   Randolph protects the defensive rebound!

  Wade quickly retreated to prevent Liu Xiuqi from counterattacking.

   At this time, a person appeared in Wade's mind-Jason Kidd?

   Liu Xiu's defense just now gave him the feeling that the former No. 1 point guard Jason Kidd he met in the first and second grades was still at the peak and had defensive strength!

   At this moment, Wade felt targeted.

   He has watched the videos of Liu Xiu's first few games. Although Liu Xiu has made obvious progress on the defensive end, compared with tonight's "terrible" defense, it can be said that there is a qualitative gap!

  In his opinion, if Liu Xiu can maintain this defense for a whole season, he has a chance to compete with Artest, Garnett and others for DPOY!

  But when Liu Xiu defended against others, he didn't seem to defend so well tonight... He felt that he must have been targeted!

  After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he unconsciously felt a little bit of complacency... At this time, Liu Xiu quickly advanced over, and he put away his distracting thoughts and defended well.

  But Liu Xiu did not attack or pick and roll, but gave the ball to Hill who was on the right side of the free throw line and was next to Beasley.

  Hill played singles, with only one horizontal pull, Beasley threw it out, and his teammates on and off the field were instantly speechless.

Marion quickly made up, Liu Xiu cut in from the left, Wade followed Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu entered the basket under the cover of Kwame Brown, received the ball from Hill, and made a toss shot without stopping the ball... a hit on the board !

   Started 6 to 0!

  The two teams showed a considerable gap in strength.

   This was the case throughout the first half, with the Blazers playing against the Heat.

Liu Xiu made 3 of 3 shots in the first quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers. Although he did not make free throws, he also scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He led the team to score 31 to 19 points, leading the Heat by 12 in the first quarter. point.

In the second quarter, Liu Xiu made 1 of 1 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists. He led the team to a score of 27 to 21 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Trail Blazers scored 58 to 40. Leading the Heat by 18 points!

Although Wade scored the highest score in the halftime, scoring 16 points, more than Randolph who scored 14 points in the halftime, but he made 6 of 16 shots and 4 of 7 free throws...Suddenly, he met again when he was in the first and second grades. The kind of defense that drove him crazy, although Wade's strength has been greatly improved compared to then, but he still played very badly.

   In addition, he scored 30% of his points this season. Under the defense of Liu Xiu, he only scored 1 goal in the half.

  Whether he stops suddenly, retreats, changes direction, or pulls horizontally, the guy on the opposite side can probably judge it!

  Wade has a feeling of being overcome by the opponent...

   Obviously his scoring skills are better than before! Why does it feel more restrained?

  …

In the second half, Wade fought back and made 5 of 12 shots in the half, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 20 points in the half and led the Heat to win in the third and fourth quarters. To 28 points.

The Trail Blazers, after returning from the intermission, began to accept the fact that the rhythm was slowed down, fell into the slow-paced positional battle, and tried to play fast in the slow-paced positional battle, just like the Nets and Suns at the beginning. After being dragged into the position by the opponent, he forced a fast-paced attack.

  Effect... not so good.

  In order to enhance the success rate, they temporarily sacrificed defense and replaced them with possible more suitable players, but the defense is not good, and the scoring is not high... It is true that this does not happen overnight.

  The Suns took off after getting Nash, because in the 03-04 season, D'Antoni had begun to develop the running and bombing ability of role players.

  The Trail Blazers only scored 22 points in the third quarter and 24 points in the fourth quarter, losing to the Heat by 10 points at halftime.

   But it's not a big problem! The front is much ahead!

  104 to 96, the Trail Blazers beat the Heat by 8 points!

  Wade made 11 of 28 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 13 of 19 free throws. He scored 36 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks... The attributes of being a father and a mother are fully reflected tonight.

  In addition to him, the best performers were Marion with 14 points and 11 rebounds, Haslem with 8 points and 10 rebounds, Beasley with 11 points, and Chalmers with 10 points and 5 assists.

   Liu Xiu scored 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the second half, and 29 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game.

Randolph's 25 points, Outlaws 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Ray Allen 14 points and 2 assists, Hill 8 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Kwame Brown 7 points and 10 rebounds... Overall performance is excellent , 8 consecutive victories at the start!

   Cheeks looked at the scene of celebration on the opposite side, recalling that he was defeated by the warden tonight, he was already numb.

got used to.

   Before the game, I was looking forward to it, but after the game, I was very lonely.

  The 26-year-old cheekbang already has the mentality of a 30-year-old master—I don’t want to prove my ability to lead the team alone, I want to help!

The team selected the legendary most talented, dubbed the 'next James', the super talent Michael Beasley, who made the 206club Hawks salivate, and the cheeks were full of joy, thinking he got his Deron Williams .

   But this Nima genius ranked second, in addition to looking more crazy, his performance is not as good as the opposite lawless crazy...

  What is a real talent rookie?

  Wade has seen Deron next to Kobe, Paul next to Boozer, Kwame Brown next to Liu Xiu, and Roy next to Luol Deng.

  Beasley, looking at physical talent and technical talent, yes, but the whole person, in Wade's view, is not.

   Cheeks have fallen into the daily melancholy after losing in the last three years, while the warden is enjoying the joy of 8 consecutive victories.

  The joys and sorrows of people are always different...

  By 7:30 the next morning, most of the Trail Blazers players were sleeping in.

  Only Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw Fanatic, and Hill got up early for breakfast.

   Liu Xiu was very happy, he no longer had breakfast alone.

  The other three were quite resentful—they always thought that they were the only ones in the team who got up early, so they kept asking the waiter to deliver something to the room to eat.

Today Ray Allen was going to the restaurant for breakfast on a whim, but he saw Liu Xiu, Hill went out to buy a pack of cigarettes, saw Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, the extrajudicial lunatic got up and washed and heard voices outside the door... Gather 4 people to have breakfast together.

   This allowed the three teammates to understand some aspects of the warden's self-discipline, which is the point of self-discipline, which is quite special.

  Just after playing back-to-back, the team arranged for a 3:00 p.m. flight to the next stop.

  After breakfast, Liu Xiu asked the outlaws to play games in his room, which has a living room and is more spacious.

  This time I was playing CS. After playing a few rounds, Liu Xiu just entered the state when there was a knock on the door, and he opened the door impatiently.

   It was the vice president and the head coach who came. After saying sorry, they entered the door, closed the door, and saw Liu Xiu's stinky face, two computers on the table, and the outlaws who greeted each other... They were used to it.

   These young people will be in a bad mood if their games are interrupted.

This put the vice president in a good mood, ignoring the warden's unhappy eyes, and said what he wanted: "Jess, we received a trade application from the Timberwolves this morning. The player they want is Steve, and the chips they gave are Randy Foye."

Liu Xiu, who wanted to quickly finish the chat and send the two away, was immediately attracted to the attention and waved at the outlaw lunatic. The latter understood and went to the side to play with the handheld. The boss has something to discuss .

   Liu Xiu asked curiously: "How could they be so generous? No, they are so generous, which means they confirm that Steve is their savior, which is very strange, right?"

  Liu Xiu remembers that Randy Foye served as the starting point guard for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 13 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game.

  The coach responded: "A few days ago, there was news that Jerry West would join the Timberwolves management. Now the rumors should be true. I think this may be his idea."

Liu Xiu nodded lightly: "That's how it is. No wonder they filled up the chips all at once. I think they are willing to give away the best chips in this deal with Steve... This is the style of the logo man. When trading big-name players Pull and pull, let the other party take advantage when trading role players, and get the player you want and get a favor."

  The vice president asked: "Then shall we trade?"

   Liu Xiu asked strangely: "Boss, why are you so active in wanting to send Steve to the Timberwolves?"

The coach laughed and said: "He admires Steve very much. Seeing that Steve has played fewer games this season than Golan, a rookie, he is anxious. We chatted and felt that Minneapolis is very suitable for Steve. .”

   "Your mentality may also have been expected by the logo man," Liu Xiu complained, thought for a while, and made a decision: "Reject them."

  The vice president and the head coach thought that Liu Xiu would agree, but they didn't expect to hear such a decision.

  Liu Xiu and Blake have a good relationship. Although Liu Xiu has been 'bullying' Blake, in fact Liu Xiu takes care of this second-round pick of the same year.

Liu Xiu explained: "Although he can get a good return, Foye is not the player we need, and despite Foye's good statistics, he is only suitable for playing the sixth man. The starting lineup is completely after dragging Roy. Legs, in terms of trading, if we want to change a bargaining chip back, why bother to trade? Although Foye's transaction value may be higher, but the difficulty of the transaction is obviously better for Steve, Steve does not occupy the ball, His shooting is solid, he dares to take responsibility at critical moments, and he has the leadership ability in the locker room... he will not worry about leaving home, and the team that is suitable for him is not only the Timberwolves."

  The vice president calmed down after hearing the words. It is true. If it is a trade, it may be that their prison team is at a disadvantage, despite Foye's good statistics and menopausal talent.

   Let's find a new home for Blake! The vice president felt that the warden was right. A point guard of such high quality as Blake would not worry about leaving home, but they didn't have a high demand for traditional point guards here.

  The coach said with a smile: "If Jerry West really joins the Timberwolves, after being rejected, they may find a way to exchange for the players we want and then trade with us."

  The vice president asked: "They know what kind of players we want? Why didn't they operate in the first place?"

   "The Timberwolves have Roy, Gasol, and Deng. The goal must be the championship. The first choice must be to reinforce themselves and not let us get reinforcements." Liu Xiu's tone was full of disdain.

  The coach echoed: "Yes, maybe they still want to cheat us. I heard that Foye has a character problem, and he beat their rookie Brandon Rush in the preseason."

  Liu Xiu heard the words and complained: "I can only say that he is indeed a genius of the Timberwolves..."

He also thought of an ironic thing, as if it was 2016 or 2017, Foye was voted by the players to win the 'Players Union Best Teammate Award', and then in that summer, Foye failed to get the next contract , The teams he tried out were worried that he would affect the atmosphere in the team and that he would fight with a certain teammate.

In the eyes of the fans, winning this award once is comparable to PJ-Brown winning the Player Ethics Award-in the 1997 playoffs, in the second round between the Heat and the Knicks, the Heat trailed 1-3 and could not lose. The Heat's insider PJ-Brown deliberately overturned the opponent from below when the Knicks' 188 cm small guard made a layup, which almost caused the opponent to be injured and caused a brawl.

  The vice-president was listening, gradually unable to intervene. He was able to control the general transactions very well, but in these aspects involving intrigue, he was not as good as the two guys around him who had 800 minds.

   But he's used to it, he's the VP of player operations anyway.

  He went to call an extrajudicial lunatic to teach him how to play CS, saying that he wanted to keep up with the trend of the times and keep up with the pace of young people.
