Healing Basketball

   Chapter 395 395. Miss Chicken Mother (Yesterday's Patch 22)

The Nets have actually noticed this, and they have adjusted their defense for this purpose, but the Blazers still have Raheem who scored 10 points in a single quarter. Liu Xiu is a thief who can bear it, and he runs with McGrady when he has no chance. , I jumped out and played singles immediately when I changed the defense...

   Opportunities are always reserved for those who are patient, and Liu Xiu seized the opportunity.

When McGrady played against Liu Xiu for the first time last season, he understood why Kobe and Carter always mentioned Liu Xiu when they mentioned young players. It felt so special to play against Liu Xiu. He also likes to play against Liu Xiu very much. ...but because of this, I can't stand Liu Xiu a little... sour!

   came back from a break between quarters, and both teams made personnel adjustments.

  The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Momonga, Liu Xiu, Delfino, Varejao, and McDyess.

   The Nets sent a combination of Travis Best, Zoran Praninich, McGrady, Clifford Robinson, and Mourning.

   Maddie keeps playing! This surprised Liu Xiu and felt the pressure at the same time.

   But it is also an opportunity!

   came to the court, Liu Xiu followed his defender.

  Praninić, the same class as Liu Xiu, at the end of the first round of the 2003 Golden Generation, the country of birth is Yugoslavia... 201 cm tall, 88 kg in weight, and has a cousin named Ivica Zubac.

  The position information is PG/SF. Like James, such a player means that he cannot have the ball in his hand.

  Best advanced to the front court, Praninić ran to the top arc, Liu Xiu followed closely, and when Best passed the ball to Praninić, Liu Xiu jumped up with all his strength...

Just as Liu Xiu expected, a tall swingman with fast footsteps, good breakthrough skills, no ability to move without the ball, almost no mid-to-long-range shooting skills, and even a free-throw shooting percentage below 70% must be a pick. The one who hit the ball.

   Steals!

   It has to be Momonga’s partner. The player who was stolen by Praninich is still in a daze. Momonga reacts first, hurry up!

   By the way, there is also Maddie on the flank, running towards Momo.

  Liu Xiu lobs the ball, Momomoko catches the ball in the fast break, McGrady is chasing after him... catch up!

   Momonga rushed all the way to the basket and out of bounds.

   Maddie also rushed out after seeing this, going forward without looking back.

   Sure enough, there was a whine from the basket.

   Momonga entered the basket and then returned the pass and sent it out, and Liu Xiu's flank followed up to catch the ball and dunk the tomahawk!

   The fans at the scene wanted to cry!

finally!

   Facing an empty basket, Liu Xiu was finally willing to dunk!

  32 to 29, the Trail Blazers lead by 3 points!

   Maddie felt the pressure.

   Not because of the 3-point difference, but because he understood Liu Xiu's intention.

   The Nets started their offense again. After Liu Xiu made a sneak attack, now he is directly next to Praninich to get the ball around the front defense, making no secret of his purpose.

Best protects the ball in the face of Momoko's harassment. Both of them are players of the 1995 class. They are both small guards. There must be a huge difference. Momoko, who is opposite to Best, is the top talent at any time. Still flying now, Best has come to the end of his career.

When Best first entered the NBA, he was also a very fast small guard. At 180 cm, he made his living by breaking the ball, but now he is a veteran who lives by long two-point shooting with a 44% shooting rate. Of course, his speed is also now. It's not particularly slow, so the defense is still on the line, but the offense really doesn't move.

   McGrady came out to respond and rescued the embarrassed Best and Praninich who was bumped by Liu Xiu.

   In the face of Delfino's defense, McGrady made a three-pointer...and hit again!

  19 points!

  32 flat!

   said it wasn't the three-point difference!

   The problem is physical exhaustion. After playing full in the first quarter, he continued to play in the second quarter. He needed to paddle on the offensive end, and was more responsible for receiving shots and acting as a checkpoint.

As for Richard Jefferson, adjust your emotions first. What is the three-pointer that Liu Xiu threw after receiving the ball in the last attack of the first quarter? The main reason is that the Nets are a very special team. .

  The depth of their team lineup is very good. They have a variety of functional players with their own characteristics, and they are still quite high-quality.

But there are few core players. Clifford Robinson and Best, Praninich and Jacqui Vaughn are weak. Kidd doesn't play. The team's offense is really not very good, so there are only simple running tactics. .

However, even so, McGrady's singles scoring, coupled with such a good lineup of role players, and Richard Jefferson, a top off-ball scorer with an average of 20+ per game, there are first-class strong teams. He exploded and could hit the Spurs with a hammer.

  If Kidd can't play and McGrady can't play, Richard Jefferson's team can compete with Australia's White Duncan.

   So tonight Nets coach Frank can only let Maddido play.

   So, Liu Xiu was given the opportunity to continue to execute the consumption strategy.

   But well, he didn't have a headache for it, he was very good at taking things like this...

   When Liu Xiu ran to the front court with anticipation, it was McGrady who was guarding him!

   The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Xiu continued to run with Maddie.

   Momonga is holding the ball and his heart is flying.

   It seems that BGM is sounding at this moment - mad waves are an attitude, mad waves are unrestrained...

   The Nets used Best to defend Momo, which was really a good choice. Best defended very well, and followed Momo’s step-back, forcing Momo’s step-back jumper to fall back...but he went in!

   Momonga pouted and swung his arms and flew back to the backcourt, causing bursts of cheers from the scene!

  Best's catch-and-long two-point shooting rate is as high as 44%, which is also the same as the long two-point shooting rate of Mumbai's singles!

   Offensive and defensive transition, McGrady received a pass from Best and broke through Delfino. After attracting Liu Xiu's pincer attack, McGrady forced his way to the bottom line and scored the ball... Praninich, who followed up, received the ball and made a layup.

   McGrady and Praninich high-five to celebrate a quick retreat.

   Offensive and defensive transition, Momonga continued to play singles with the ball, tentative steps, hurried starts and stops, swayed Best with one step horizontally, created a perfect opportunity, and then shot two points long... Iron!

  Morning blocked the rushing Varejao, but Liu Xiu slipped into the basket from the flank, very fast, grabbed the rebound before Clifford-Robinson, took off, and made a pull-bar throw!

  15 points and 4 boards!

   was scored by Liu Xiu again, Maddie misses Mother Ji.

   Kidd said, "Leave everything to me except scoring", and he really did it. He really can do everything except scoring!

   If Kidd was here, how could Liu Xiu rush to grab offensive rebounds from the flanks so easily.

   The situation is a bit dangerous. The three main players of the opponent Rahim, the extrajudicial fanatic, and Kwame Brown are resting.

   But McGrady's style of play did not change. After two rounds, McGrady took a break and let the veterans Best and Clifford-Robinson start a pick-and-roll attack.

   The threat was not enough, the pick-and-roll of the two failed to tear the Blazers' defense. Mourning's baseline catch was blocked by McDyess, and Liu Xiu, who was actively shrinking, grabbed the ball and was still a rebounder.

   When the Blazers attacked, the pressure was really on the Nets and on McGrady, but McGrady still chose to defend Liu Xiu.

   Change personal defense, relieve physical exertion, and consider continuity?

   Maddie is not!

   He doesn't want to think about so much trouble anymore, and he learned a lot during his few seasons with the Magic.

  Like the current situation, if he thinks about everything and wants to do everything well, in the end, he estimates that he can't do anything well. He has personally verified it. If it doesn't work, it won't work.

   Just do what you are best at and what you think is the most necessary, and leave the rest to your teammates.

   McGrady can do whatever he wants, and the same goes for his performance on the court. He defends when it's time for him to attack, and attacks when it's time for him to attack.

   Being able to choose the style of play at will, which means that he has a strong personal ability.

   Really don't say, McGrady played like this, the Nets really tightened the score when Richard Jefferson and Krstic were both resting!

In fact, McGrady 'only' scored 5 points in the first half of the second quarter. The 3-pointer at the beginning and the next breakthrough jumping layup were mainly his threats. After the jumping layup hit, he was already 21 Points, the half is not over yet!

Relying on such a threat, McGrady scored a single shot, or stood at the shooting point he was good at to contain the defense and create better scoring opportunities for his teammates... Scored 5 points and 2 assists, helping the Nets get in the first half of the second quarter. 13 points.

   It was officially suspended in the second quarter, the score was 42 to 46, and the Nets were only 4 points behind the Trail Blazers!

  …

   Entering the official timeout, 8 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, McGrady has scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists!

   Momonga and Liu Xiu fought very hard - this is their dominant time! They both dealt with Maddie together, and they still didn't get the best of it; but they had a lot of fun - too strong! This opponent is really too strong! Momonga is under no pressure, he just works when he goes up. Liu Xiu enjoys this kind of game very much. The pressure makes him have to concentrate and try his best to seize every opportunity and push him to improve.

   McGrady scored a game-high 21 points, but Liu Xiu grabbed the loopholes in the Nets' flank defense...and scored 17 points!

   In the stage with the advantage of the lineup, I failed to pull the score away. I can only say that McGrady is awesome, but at least he has a 4-point lead, at least he has not been overtaken... It is already much stronger than the Wizards a few days ago! In contrast, the sense of superiority is not here.

  The official suspension came back, and the Blazers re-dispatched the three frontcourts of Outlaw Madman, Raheem, and Kwame Brown, and the backline Liu Xiu and Momogo continued to play.

  The Nets also re-played the three best frontcourts tonight-Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins, Krstic, Best and McGrady continued to partner in the backcourt.

   The Nets have the ball and serve the offense from the centerline.

   Adjusted the time for half a quarter. Richard Jefferson cheered up and moved actively. When he came up, he received a ball from Krstic at close range and took a step against Kwame Brown to make a layup!
