Healing Basketball

   Chapter 440 440. Hammer sports car is endless fun

   "Giant Slayer:

  Trigger object: Tim Duncan.

  Task keyword: Stability.

   According to the host and Tim Duncan's team against the Spurs this season, the mission target is determined.

   Goal 1: The host must have three main data in this game higher than the average data in the previous two games against the Spurs. (19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists per game)

   Goal 2: The hosts need to limit Tony Parker's scoring to below the average of his first two meetings with the Spurs. (13.5 points per game)

   Goal 3: The host needs to lead the team to sweep the Spurs.

  Reward: 5000 healing points, and start a follow-up quest related to Tim Duncan.

   Failure Penalty: The next time the quest object Tim Duncan is triggered, the quest difficulty will be increased by one level. "

   This task was triggered, and Liu Xiu was not surprised at all.

  If Duncan is not qualified, then this task is called "Big Shark Killer". The active player, the dynasty shark of the three consecutive FMVPs, is stronger than Duncan's honor.

  Liu Xiu exits the task list and sees the detection report of the opposite player.

   "Tim Duncan, 28 years old, 211 cm, 115 kg, C/PF, ability rating 98, offense 95, defense 98... 33 minutes per game, 21 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.7 blocks..."

   Well, compared to the time we played against each other at the beginning of the season, the ability evaluation went up a bit!

   The playing time in the last ten games has decreased, but the statistics have not changed much... Because the hit rate has increased a little, the defensive efficiency has improved slightly.

  Looked at the other two carriages, Parker, 83 ability evaluation, Manu Ginobili, 84 ability evaluation, the progress is not as great as Duncan! It's...awesome!

   While the small sports car is still in its growth period, it is not necessary to give it a hammer.

   On the other side of the bench, Parker, who was taking a deep breath to relieve the pressure, shuddered. He felt a deep malice.

   Looking at the line of sight, it really is the demon of the same era!

  …

   "The Great Mage:

  The state of the game.

  Copy objects:

   Teammate: Gary Payton, Trait Transformation Talent: Blockade…

Opponent: Manu Ginobili, characteristic transformation talent: snake step, bonus effect: when the host uses the euro step to end the attack, each step can always start in the best state; if the host uses the euro step and finally tries to The dunk ends the attack, the bounce +3 and the bounce speed +3 when the attack frame takes off. "

The Spurs have a lot of objects he wants to try to copy, such as stone Buddha, sports car, stepping foot, white trapeze... Horry, who is known as the luckiest role player, also wants to copy and try, but in order to maximize the probability of winning, of course choose The most secure demon sword, after the matching degree is increased to 60%, the talent copied from the demon sword is suitable and strong.

   Playing a strong team is such a trouble. The opponent has a lot of people interested in him and wants to try to copy, but the opponent is very strong and can't mess around.

   Like playing the Hornets, Bobcats, Hawks, you can do whatever you want, but unfortunately they don't have many good players.

   Liu Xiu came to the court after copying his talent, and the other starters of the two teams came to the court one after another.

   Liu Xiu's last hope was lost. Popovich didn't do anything at the last moment. The Spurs sent a starting lineup of Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan and Muhammad.

The Trail Blazers are still the starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

  Duncan came to the middle circle and rubbed his hands to wait for the jump ball. Looking at the energetic Kwame Brown on the opposite side, Duncan's eyes were full of himself. His physical fitness was no worse than that of Kwame Brown, who was also the No. 1 overall pick.

   But now... just thinking about it is all tears.

Fortunately, with the improvement of the plantar fasciitis injury, when he moves and takes off, he no longer feels pain. The bounce speed and explosive acceleration cannot be returned, but the bounce height and comprehensive movement speed have returned to normal. Static strength Also improved.

In his opinion, his current physical quality is very similar to that of a center... No, he is a power forward version of the warden. Playing requires more brains. He is still very confident in this regard. After all, he and the warden are the only ones in the audience. of two master students.

Tonight Duncan didn't have the idea of ​​going across to greet the warden. The fans at the scene had a very strong hostile atmosphere towards the Blazers and the warden. Of course, he liked this kind of atmosphere very much, and even thought it was not enough. The atmosphere of the Rose Garden Arena is just fine... The most important thing is the issue of face.

   He lost to King Silver Horn in front of the warden!

   And, the night before yesterday, the American Airlines Center was also booing the warden. King Silver Horn dared to chat with the warden before the game because King Silver Horn won the day before.

   And he, Stone Buddha, lost once and avoided the battle once. Tonight, he has to win, and only by winning can he gain face.

   At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. Under the push of the league, the Trail Blazers, which had good ratings and a high degree of attention, began their away game against the Spurs.

  The referee threw the ball into the air, and Duncan, who was more focused and more experienced on the jump ball, beat Kwame Brown to win the jump ball.

  Kwame-Brown "Ow Oo" patted his thigh while running back, shouting twice and then shouting carelessly.

   Although Duncan's speed is not fast, his jump height is still a first-class level. With a wingspan of 230 cm, Kwame Brown underestimates the enemy!

   Kwame Brown, who returned to the backcourt, was very angry. This early champion was deceiving! Can't run or jump?

  Duncan looked at Kwame Brown's demeanor and actions... After this parallel champion is not so good, it seems to be starting to change gradually?

   Parker received the ball and advanced, the Spurs took the lead.

   Liu Xiu stayed at the top arc and focused on defense.

   Manu Ginobili started to accelerate when Parker crossed the middle circle. He lifted up from near the bottom line to a position on the right near the sideline.

   As expected by Ginobili, Parker pulled the speed to the fastest when approaching the three-point line, faced Liu Xiu's defense, and made a breakthrough to the right front!

   In the face of Parker's lightning-like breakthrough, Liu Xiu tried his best to move laterally to the left, barely keeping up with Parker's footsteps.

   However, Parker's breakthrough was not just the straight-line sprint speed of the top three in the league. When he was about to make physical contact with Liu Xiu, Parker who was sprinting at a high speed suddenly stopped and changed direction, breaking through to the left front!

   But Liu Xiu braked and changed direction almost at the same time as Parker. When Parker rushed forward to the left, Liu Xiu, who started to the right with all his strength, narrowly stuck to Parker!

   Feeling this unbearable confrontation, Parker had only one thought in his heart - impossible!

   Parker didn't believe and was unwilling to accept this fact, but his body was still very honest and he was mentally prepared. After being stuck by Liu Xiu, he threw the ball to the right side of the top arc.

   Ginobili, who had been negotiated for a long time, took the time to move to the right side of the top arc to receive the ball. Payton did not lose his position and followed closely.

Manu Ginobili made a fake breakthrough. The fake move was very realistic. Even Payton was deceived. After Leigh shook Peyton away, he directly closed his foot, pulled it up, and shot a three-pointer... Iron!

   Liu Xiu, who was blocked by the flank, protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Payton.

   Payton received the ball and pushed forward, glanced at Ginobili, no matter how many times he played, it felt incredible every time he played against this guy.

   It seems that there is no basketball that this guy dares not shoot! And the timing and choice of the shot is often surprising, like... the No. 8 he used to play with!

   The most incredible thing about Payton is that there is another super center who can get used to this style of play and accept it!

   Last season, when Payton played against the Spurs, Duncan was still very uncomfortable with Ginobili, who became the main force after his second year.

   Recalling a trade offer that came out before O'Neal was traded last summer, the Spurs used Parker + Manu Ginobili + Bowen + multiple draft picks to apply to the Lakers to trade Kobe.

   If it really happens, 26-year-old Kobe + 28-year-old Duncan, Payton's scalp tingles just thinking about it.

   Offense and defense transition. After Payton advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Randolph pull to the right bottom line for a mid-range shot and a rushing position, and re-passed the ball to Liu Xiu.

  The butcher's heart is bitter!

   The Southwest Division, which was newly divided by the league, didn't know how to describe the 'I'm a girl' in his heart when he saw these teams last summer.

   He felt that the league had dedicated a division to target him.

   Yao Ming, Duncan + a certain insider partner, Gasol + a certain insider partner, these three insider combinations are extremely restraining him.

   At that time, the Hornets hadn't been forced to rot, and Magloire, a center on the edge of the All-Star, was still there, and he had no temper when he met the twin towers formed by PJ-Brown.

   You can also bully the insider group composed of the slow Nowitzki, Dampier, and the skinny Ratliff, and they just explode each other.

  Randolph is more eager to get stronger...

On Liu Xiu's side, he concentrated on protecting the ball. Before entering the NBA, his impression of Bowen was only a footstep, but after playing against Bowen, he realized that this guy is really defensive. When he turned 36 years old, he still Can prevent the little emperor to collapse in the finals.

At 36 years and 11 months, he was selected for the first defense, surpassing Chamberlain to become the oldest first defense player in NBA history, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the oldest All-Defensive team player in NBA history, the oldest best player The title of defensive lineup player was not broken until 2013 by the 37-year-old Duncan.

   Bowen's defense was very dirty, and there were a lot of small moves. Liu Xiu was just dribbling the top arc and waiting for his teammates to settle down. Bowen's evil hands took care of him and wanted to give him an elbow.

   Bowen's defensive intentions are already halfway through when the offensive player has this emotion.

Even if he knew that this was Bowen's defensive purpose, the offensive players still couldn't control the idea of ​​blowing up Bowen. His 201 cm weight was only 91 kg, and his defensive method was not strong, which made people unable to stop. want to hammer him.

   Then, Bowen can put his league's top single defense and top team's ability into practice.

   This is Bowen's defensive purpose, and it is also a very important part of his defense.

   But there are times when Bowen is helpless - this man in front of him has never been stimulated!

  Other young players, who didn't meet him and were so enraged that they wanted to beat him one-on-one.

   But Liu Xiu is not. Since the first fight, this master has been very different.

   No, here we go again!

   Liu Xiu moved sideways. When Bowen followed Liu Xiu, he was blocked by Kwame Brown who was pulled out!

   But this time, it was not Duncan who followed Kwame Brown to defend!

   Duncan's ability to prevent pick-and-roll is naturally not bad. If his single defense is 99 points, he must have 85 points to prevent pick-and-roll.

   Some aspects of Duncan's defense are not top-notch, but he has few shortcomings.

   However, after David Robinson retired, if Duncan expanded to prevent the pick-and-roll, it meant that the rim protection had to be handed over to a pure meat shield center. After Duncan was transferred out, the center was often hammered.

Don't worry now. When Kwame Brown pulled out, Duncan and Mohammad, who were originally guarding the basket, switched defenses. Mohammed expanded to prevent the pick-and-roll. Duncan covered Randolph's catch-up shot, while taking into account Basket defense.

"Nazr Mohammed, 27 years old, 208 cm, 113 kg, C/PF, ability rating 77, offense 67, defense 83... Knicks during the 2004-2005 season, averaged 11 points, 8.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. 1 steal and 1 block; the Spurs averaged 6.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 1 steal and 1.4 blocks per game in the stage…”

  Muhammad's defense is not top-notch, but he is more comprehensive. He can switch defenses infinitely with Duncan, is active and smart in defense, has high obedience, and is good at cooperating with his teammates.

Bowen and Muhammad cooperated on defense. After the Spurs had Muhammad, Popovich made adjustments on the defensive end, vowing not to be defeated by Liu Xiu like the previous two games. Playing with screen pick-and-rolls.

   However, Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll skills, offense selection after pick-and-roll, execution... are better than Bowen and Mohammed expected!

Liu Xiu used the pick and roll to face Muhammad and took the initiative to bully him. Muhammad took half a step away. Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to shoot the ball forward, the direction the ball flew past... Muhammad crotch!

Liu Xiu leaned forward as if he was about to fall. He used inertia to accelerate the sprint. After confronting Muhammad, he passed Muhammad and grabbed before Muhammad who turned around. Received the ball that went through Muhammad's crotch!

   The crotch is extraordinary!

However, Muhammad's defense is really good. After being passed, he was not upset or discouraged. He followed Liu Xiu for the first time and couldn't stop Liu Xiu from rushing into the inside line. Chance.

   No, hard work is useful. The ultra-fast Parker received the right side of the three-second zone and was extremely active in helping Muhammad block Liu Xiu.

When Liu Xiu broke through, Randolph moved actively without the ball, slipped the bottom line, and circled high on the left side of the three-second zone. Duncan interfered with Muhammad's pull-up jumper and Parker's close-range blocking to the basket. Close, while making sure to cut off Liu Xiuchuan's route on the left side of the three-second zone, while preparing to protect the frame, even if Liu Xiu easily crushes Parker to attack the frame, Duncan is confident to complete the interference...

but!

Liu Xiu didn't make an emergency stop jumper and didn't enter the basket. He made an emergency stop and turned around to lean on Parker who was withdrawing to block the defense. Parker, who was in a panic, turned around and made a jumper at close range from the bottom line!
