Healing Basketball

   Chapter 583 583. Amazing Son of the Wind

So fast!

When the Suns scored a goal, 25 seconds had passed in the game. When Liu Xiu scored in the last round, the Trail Blazers' offensive round took 18 seconds, which means that the Suns scored only from serve to shot this time. It took 7 seconds.

  Although he had repeatedly emphasized before the game and had been fully prepared, Liu Xiu was caught off guard by the opponent's 7-second attack when he played against the Suns who had been adjusted and entered the state for the first time!

The extrajudicial fanatic who picked up the ball and served the ball was obviously faster than usual. When Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, he almost couldn't hold back and started singles directly. Fortunately, his psychological quality was excellent, and he was not deviated from the rhythm by the Suns. Enter the position and launch an attack steadily.

Raja Bell posted it to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu easily held the pressure defense sideways, Kwame Brown pulled out the pick-and-roll, this time it was Marion who extended the defense, Liu Xiu directly passed the ball to Rahim. , Rahim singles Kurt Thomas, feints a shot and hits a layup!

  Rahim's singles attack was very fast this time, and he didn't even move the ball. He added an assist to Liu Xiu in the singles.

When Rahim made his shot, Liu Xiu took the lead in retreating. However, the Suns did not continue to play the 7-second offense this time. Kurt Thomas picked up the ball and served, although Nash advanced quickly, Nash launched a pick-and-roll attack after advancing to the front court. Although the rhythm is fast, it is not to continue to play the 7-second attack.

   This is another rhythm discomfort for the Blazers players who were stimulated and desperately retreated by the last round. Nash jumped to close range, hit a jumper with horseback archery, and also caused a foul by Kwame Brown on the defense!

  Nash's Rhythm Mastery!

  Nash, who is 31 years old and will be 32 years old in less than two months, has made such a huge progress!

   It's not technical progress, but the control of the run-and-gun rhythm, and the use of the rule that defenses above the free throw line cannot be used. It has become better.

   But Liu Xiu is not surprised. Nash, who has entered the new era and has been on a suitable team for just over a year, deserves such progress.

   With Nash adding a free throw, the Suns overtook the Blazers 5-4 by 1 point.

   When the Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen understood what Liu Xiu meant, and received the ball for a single.

  Ray Allen is still a little excited. In the past two years, his teammates have been named by the Blazers, and now...he has joined!

   The target of the call is naturally Steve Nash, the son of the wind who ranks at the forefront of the league in defensive enthusiasm!

  Ray Allen made a mid-range pull-up jumper, which was very easy.

  The defense of the Suns is still infinite one-on-one defense + cutting off the passing and receiving lines.

Nash is a defensive loophole for the Suns. Ray Allen is tired of playing Nash. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen pick and roll to call Nash. Nash goes to guard the extrajudicial madman, and Liu Xiu directly passes it to the extrajudicial madman. The latter directly Pulling it up and throwing it, Nash jumped up so hard that he couldn't even touch the elbow of the extrajudicial fanatic.

  Dior's defensive weakness is not easy to take advantage of, but Liu Xiu can also use pick-and-roll offense or help Rahim create dislocation singles opportunities.

   The Trail Blazers played against the Wizards in the last game, and they have adapted to the rhythm of scoring points. They played like a duck to water tonight, and they are soaring again!

Ray Allen scored 7 points on 3 of 4 shots, Raheem scored 10 points on 5 of 6 shots, Kwame Brown scored 6 points on 2 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, and the extrajudicial fanatics scored 5 points... In addition to Liu Xiu's 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the Blazers scored 37 points in the first quarter!

  The Suns' defensive strategy was implemented, not shaken by the Blazers' singles hurricane, but responded on the offensive end.

   Facing the Blazers' top defense, the Suns also scored 30 points.

   After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Suns 37-30 by 7 points!

  …

   In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers used tyrannical singles to crush the Suns' team offense.

   But the good times did not last long. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers singles withered!

Payton, who got the chance to play tonight, did not perform well in singles. He took two rests to recharge his energy and defend against Nash, but Nash's play style is the first time Payton has seen it. No, the singles performance on the offensive end was not good. After 4 minutes of playing, he made 3 turnovers, only got 2 points and 3 turnovers, and was substituted.

   Momonga is playing normally, and it is normal for him to be unable to defend, but he also had a bad offensive touch tonight and was replaced with 1 of 3 shots.

   For the usual game, Momonga made 1 of 3 shots, and Maurice Cheeks would also give patience, waiting for Momonga to get back his feeling.

   But tonight is different, the Suns' offense in the second quarter is still surging!

  Nash scored 6 points and 2 assists, Barbosa scored 9 points, Tim Thomas scored 6 points, Marion scored 2 points and 2 assists, Diao scored 6 points and 2 assists... The Suns scored 30 points in a single quarter again in the second quarter!

For the Blazers, although Ray Allen made 3 of 6 shots and scored 7 points and 1 assist, Liu Xiu made 3 of 4 shots, including 1 of 3-pointers, plus a penalty and scored 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. , But apart from the two of them, the teammates only scored 5 points in total. The teammates' singles offense was unstoppable.

   After halftime, Nash scored 13 points and 5 assists, Barbosa scored 15 points, and Diaw scored 9 points and 4 assists... The Suns overtook the Blazers 60-57 and entered the second quarter with 3 points!

   Liu Xiu scored 13 points and 5 assists, Ray Allen scored 14 points and 4 assists, and Raheem scored 10 points. The three stars of the Blazers scored in double figures, but they were still overtaken.

   All the Blazers were shocked. The Suns' seemingly inconspicuous defense was so powerful under certain conditions!

  The ability to cut off the passing and receiving line is simply incredible!

  When Payton, Raheem, and Momoko couldn't play singles in the second quarter, the Suns' defensive power of cutting off the passing and receiving line became more and more powerful!

  …

   Changing opponents may really be knocked down by the performance of the Suns in the second quarter, but the Blazers will not.

   Maurice Cheeks trusts the scoring ability of his own teammates, and Liu Xiu, the core of the ball, also trusts his teammates' singles ability.

   Since the opponent's single defense is a loophole, due to the lack of connection between their inside and outside lines, it is difficult to play a team defense that combines inside and outside lines, then continue to attack with singles!

Persistence is correct. Relying on Ray Allen's 7 points in a single quarter, Liu Xiu's 5 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, the Flying Squirrel's 8 points in a single quarter, Raheem's 6 points in a single quarter, plus Kwame Brown's 2 points, The Trail Blazers attacked solely by individual stars and scored 28 points in a single quarter!

   On the Suns side, the third quarter performed smoothly and scored 28 points.

  85 to 88, after three quarters, the Blazers tightened the score!

  The Suns' attempt to establish a clear lead while chasing the victory has failed!

   However, neither D'Antoni nor Nash were surprised.

   Even if Randolph is absent, the opponent is not so easy to deal with. The super backcourt combination of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen is too fierce!

  Ray Allen scored 21 points on 8 of 13 shots in three quarters, a game-high!

   All thought that Ray Allen went to the Blazers as a supporting role and became a luxurious version of Fisher by Liu Xiu's side.

   But I didn't expect that during Randolph's injury, Ray Allen became the first offensive point of the Blazers.

   The most important thing is that the opponent is cheating, and Raheem took a huge pay cut to stay in the team. When Randolph was away, the Blazers also had a top scorer in the interior, Raheem, who scored 16 points in three quarters.

  Although Raheem's performance is always sluggish when facing tough interior defense, but their Suns defense is not tough, it relies on skills.

   The current situation makes Son of the Wind extremely excited, and the decisive moment with the warden has come!

   After a break between quarters, Liu Xiu, who played 30 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 18 points and 6 assists, also set foot on the court with great excitement.

   Liu Xiu and Nash looked at each other. At this moment, although the two were out of alignment, they could still see the sympathy in each other's eyes.

  The final quarter of the game began, and the Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Stevenson, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

  The Suns sent a combination of Nash, Raja Bell, James Jones, Tim Thomas, and Kurt Thomas.

   After the brewing in the third quarter, the confrontation between the two teams entered a white-hot!

The Suns played their strongest quarter offense of the game. Nash made 2 of 4 shots, scored both three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Marion's 8 points, Tim Thomas' 6 points, Diao's 10 points and 2 assists... The final quarter soared to 38 points, surpassing the Blazers' 37 points in the first quarter!

  The Blazers also played very aggressively on offense. Ray Allen scored 12 points and 1 assist in the last quarter, and Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 2 assists in the last quarter. The two led the team to score 33 points in the last quarter.

   But unfortunately, the Suns performed too well, and the basic work on the defensive end was also excellent.

Liu Xiu made 8 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws, scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, Ray Allen 33 points, Raheem 23 points, Kwame Brown 13 points 9 rebounds and 3 blocks... Still lost to the Suns.

   Nash's second-highest 32 points and a game-high 13 assists, and his 9-for-14 shooting performance was even better than Liu Xiu.

   Under the leadership of Nash, the Suns defeated the Blazers 126-118, giving the Blazers their 4th loss this season!

  …

   "I got lucky this time. If we had made one three-point loss or two three-point loss, the situation would have been completely different."

   "Of course, you're just lucky, I'm the champion."

  "..." Why didn't Nash see it before, this guy is so stingy?

Oh, by the way, I wasn't that familiar with it before. After losing the game, this guy left early, so why would he come to chat after the game? If this guy wins, he will be so awkward... Mainly because this guy always wins before. !

   Obviously won the game, but Nash felt healed at this moment.

After    cured a wave of Sons of the Wind, Liu Xiu was in a much better mood.

   Sure enough, helping others is the happiest thing.

   It's unpleasant to lose, but Liu Xiu has done his best, and so have his teammates.

   But the firepower is still a little short!

It's called luck, but it's actually inevitable. After the three Musketeers of the Supersonics disbanded, the Suns are the strongest three-point team in the league, averaging 10+ three-pointers per game. Tonight, 15 of 27 three-pointers are strong , but not to the extent of exaggeration, just awesome.

  It was night, Liu Xiu entered the simulation training mode and calmly replayed the game.

After some thinking, he understood why the Lakers' 3-1 lead in 2006 could be reversed by the Suns; he understood that after the Suns had a neat lineup in 2007, the championship Spurs that year could only use off-the-disk Invite against the Suns.

  Suns defense is too extreme!

  The defense of the Suns always gives the opponent the opportunity to play singles, and it has the advantage of singles, which puts the opponent in a situation where the singles are more favorable than the team offense.

   Therefore, in the 2006 Western Conference Finals in the original time and space, the Mavericks with unlimited singles flow could narrowly defeat the Suns 4-2, but the Lakers who led the Suns 3-1 in the first round would be reversed.

  The Lakers were able to 3-1 thanks to Kobe Bryant's C to fly in the playoffs that year, but when Bryant C stopped moving, his teammates did not have the ability of Nowitzki's teammates and could not stand up to help.

In the Spurs in 2007, Duncan was at the critical point of declining strength. He was beaten up in the matchup with the bully. Manu Ginobili and Parker, under normal conditions, might be more than one level worse than Nash. At that time, the Spurs still used the defensive and dead grass troika singles to score the ball. It really wasn't the Suns who had the top-notch defense ability after Laga Bell and Kurt Thomas. The opponent, even if he used an off-the-disk move, was almost overthrown by the Suns.

   After analyzing a wave, Liu Xiu discovered an amazing thing!

In the original time and space, if it weren't for the singles of Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Terry, Stackhouse... and so on, the singles were too fierce, and they restrained the Suns very much. The Suns may be this year's playoffs. The number one hit!

In terms of the configuration of the Heat, it is unlikely to be the opponent of the Suns. The Heat lost to the Suns 98-107 two days ago. They were beaten by Nash with 18 points and 14 assists, and they were also beaten by the Suns defense. Had 21 turnovers in the game.

   This conclusion, Liu Xiu is a little unbelievable.
