Healing Basketball

   Chapter 665 665. Vegetable Maniac

  Kwame Brown leaped high from the left sideline of the three-second zone, received the ball thrown by Randolph in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket under Pulzbila who turned back!

  Purzbila vowed not to pity Kostic again.

  Although he didn't pay for the foul, he was dunked!

   He asked Kostic to post it, but this guy couldn't even interfere with Randolph's ball speed!

   As a European center, Krstic's defense is so poor that Przybila can't understand it.

   Nate McMillan on the sidelines couldn’t understand either. This pair of white center forwards, Kostic didn’t defend, but Przybilla didn’t have much offensive ability. If these two can be combined...

  He felt like he wanted to fart.

   Seeing Kidd's tactical gestures towards his teammates on the court, Nate McMillan was still in a relaxed mood.

  A sufficient inside group is definitely not enough to play against the Trail Blazers. Randolph's offensive ability is getting stronger and stronger, and Raheem is a famous frontcourt abuser.

  He can already see the picture of the Trail Blazers expanding their offensive advantage around two power forwards who can average 20 points per game.

  However, if you can't defend, then attack!

   This is his coaching credo, there is no problem that cannot be solved by running and playing.

   If running and playing can't solve it, then run faster!

   With 9 wins and 1 loss in the past 10 games, Nate McMillan and his players are still full of confidence even if they face the league's No. 1 Trail Blazers.

When the Nets decisively increased their offensive output, as they did in the last match, it was obvious that the Blazers were the first to use their advantages to open up the situation. However, the Nets relied on McGrady with a three-pointer and a second pass to Kos. Tich's long two-pointer, Richard Jefferson's counterattack dunk, and Kidd's top arc three-pointer in response to Krstic's basket, countered the Blazers' 10-5 climax.

   When the Trail Blazers called a timeout at 4 minutes and 22 seconds into the first quarter, they trailed the Nets 9-12!

Entering the timeout period, Randolph complained to Liu Xiu on the way back to the bench: "That Serbian center is too flexible, running around, and can't keep up at all. Their passing and cooperation seem to be even stronger than the last time they played against each other. .”

Liu Xiubai gave Randolph a look: "Otherwise? It only took them more than 20 games to increase the average of 97 points per game in the previous 30-odd games to 102 points per game in the last 10 games. The Sonics can still shoot."

   "Warden, do you want to fight?" The butcher was angry, what he wanted was comfort!

  Liu Xiu pouted towards the chair: "Go and rest, and see how the bishop abused food."

"okay…"

  As in the past two games, Maurice Cheeks replaced Randolph directly after 4 minutes of the first quarter if there was a dead ball.

  However, in Morris Cheeks' view, this substitution did not weaken the strength, but improved the offensive ability of the inside.

  As Liu Xiu said, Maurice Cheeks also thinks that Raheem will perform better when he plays the inside group of the Nets.

After returning from the timeout, as expected by Liu Xiu and Maurice Cheeks, Raheem succeeded in singles for three consecutive rounds, Krstic failed to defend for two rounds, and Richard Jefferson tried once , was also turned around by Rahim's low back, causing Przybila at the basket to be dunked.

  As the league's most capable white player in blocking shots, Przybilla is also the player with the highest probability of being dunked in the league, neither of which.

   Nate McMillan made preparations for flanking and assisting defense, but whether it is a power forward or a small forward, they are too disadvantaged in one-on-one defense against Raheem.

  He wanted to stick to one-on-one defense and prevent the Trail Blazers from shooting outside. So, when it was time for the Trail Blazers to attack again, he directed McGrady to switch to defend Raheem from the sidelines.

So, when Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Kidd defending him, Richard Jefferson defending Ray Allen, and Krstic, a 213cm inside player, defending against an outsider. .

  Liu Xiu decisively chose...singles!

  The extrajudicial lunatic pulled to the top arc to receive the pass from Liu Xiu, and then passed the ball back to Liu Xiu, who was on the right side of the free throw line with his back against Kidd.

   Liu Xiu turned around with one step and left Kidd behind, easily breaking into the inside line.

Facing Przybilla's supplementary defense, Liu Xiu made a European step, shaking Przbilla dizzy, Liu Xiu stepped to the arc of the reasonable collision zone for the second time, took off with the third step, and jumped high He made a layup and caused Pulzbila to foul!

The situation immediately reversed after Rahim came on the field. The Trail Blazers played a wave of 8-5, chasing the score to 17-17, and Liu Xiu had an additional penalty. With Liu Xiu's extra penalty, the Trail Blazers scored 18-18. 17 overtakes by 1 point, and the game enters the official suspension stage!

  …

  For the current Liu Xiu, Kidd can no longer handle it, and defending against high backs has always been his defensive flaw.

More than two years ago, in the 2003 playoffs, the old Payton relied on this high-post play to lead the Bucks and the Nets to G6 in the series. Even the Pistons were swept by Kidd.

   Kidd has a big head, and so does Nets coach Nate McMillan.

  He knew that Rahim's 'masochistic' ability was outstanding, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce.

  However, it is the same as the previous solution to the problem, since it cannot be defended, then continue to strengthen the attack!

   After the timeout, the Nets only changed one player. The league's strongest outside combination remained unchanged, and the inside line was sent to the duo of Juwan Howard and Krstic.

   Liu Xiu took Payton, Stevenson, Raheem, and McDyess on the field. Seeing the opposing lineup, he really wanted to give Nate McMillan a thumbs up.

   Really dare!

  Juwan Howard and Krstic, this pair of twin towers, is known as the worst defensive twin towers in the NBA!

   But he didn't dare to be careless. The pair of twin towers came on the field, which represented that the Nets' offensive accelerator had stepped to the bottom!

  The game continued. As Liu Xiu expected, the Nets played more fierce firepower than in the first half of the first quarter.

  In the first 6 minutes and 44 seconds, the Nets scored 17 points, and in the next 5 minutes and 16 seconds, they scored 15 points, and McGrady scored a three-pointer in the last half of the first quarter!

McGrady scored 11 points on 5 of 8 shots, Krstic, Kidd, and Juwan Howard each scored 5 points, plus Richard Jefferson's 4 points, Przybilla's 2 points, the Nets The team scored 32 points in the first quarter!

Unlike the Nets who only played 6 times in the first quarter, they highly paid tribute to D’Antoni and Adelman’s rotation concept. In these 5 minutes and 16 seconds, the Trail Blazers 'only' scored 13 points.

  After the first quarter, the Nets overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point 32 to 31!
