Healing Basketball

  Chapter 666 666. Eyes open

  The score was overtaken, maybe only half a centimeter behind and 4 points behind. Fortunately, McGrady missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, and Maurice Cheeks felt a lot of pressure.

   After entering the intersection, he set his sights on Bu Shuai.

  Bu Shuai spread his hands: "The Nets' style of play has changed from the last time they played against each other.

  It is okay to strengthen the defense, but the decline of our offensive end may be more than our restrictions on them. I suggest not to slam defense. "

   Liu Xiu walked back to the bench, just in time to hear what Bu Shuai said.

  As in his impression, this top defensive expert who is more concerned about salary is not as stubborn as Larry Brown.

  Bu Shuai can accept running and bombing, and can accept small ball play. He regards defense as a link in all links and attaches great importance to it, but he doesn't feel that he has to defend.

  This is also the reason why Maurice Cheeks is happy to cooperate with Bu Shuai.

  Morris Cheeks nodded, discussed a few words with Huo Tu, and quickly adjusted the lineup and style of play.

The players who were about to play took the time to discuss how to play, but Maurice Cheeks was not so nervous, and said to the vice president: "I have always wondered why the Nets' lineup is not suitable for offense. So suitable for McMillan to start so poorly!"

  The vice president who was worried about the game asked curiously: "Why?"

The coach replied: "If McMillan wants to play like this, with Kidd's style of play and basketball philosophy, it may indeed take a very long time to do mental construction. Do you know why I couldn't understand this before? "

  The vice president shook his head.

The coach continued: "Because I heard that McMillan is the head coach chosen by Kidd himself. When the Nets interviewed the coach, Kidd was also there. Who would have thought that he could fight wits and courage with the head coach he chose for so long? Willing to change?"

  The vice president nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, I didn't expect it either... Wait, does this have anything to do with tonight's game?"

  Coach: "No, what's wrong?"

  Vice President: "...I'm going to find fault with deducting your salary!"

  Coach: "????"

  …

   On the other side, Liu Xiu brought four teammates in rotation to the field.

   There was no rest at the beginning of the second quarter. Liu Xiu learned from the coach's operation that his style of play is correct and does not need to be changed.

  He asked Randolph: "How is it? Seeing that the bishop played for half a quarter, have you learned it?"

  Randolph responded decisively: "I can't learn."

  Liu Xiu was not surprised, and said: "The bishop's style of play is not something that can be learned just by learning."

   Randolph snorted and said confidently: "My style of play is not something anyone can learn if they want to. I can still defeat their inside defense!"

  Liu Xiu nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

  Randolph immediately became nervous when he heard the words, and he was in a better mood.

   The three teammates who played with the two of them were Little Flying Squirrel, Outlaw Madman, and McDyess.

   The Nets sent a combination of Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Ramond Murray, Juwan Howard, and Clifford Robinson.

   After the start of the second quarter, the two teams continued to enter the confrontation mode.

   This style of play is indeed more familiar to the Nets than the Trail Blazers, and the Nets soon took control of the initiative on the court.

  However, compared with the slightly flustered response of the Trail Blazers in the last match, this time the Trail Blazers are more determined to implement the tactical plan.

   The Nets' current lineup is good offensively, but defensively very bad.

  After playing a few rounds, Randolph found the feeling, and took the initiative to attack in the low position. Liu Xiu began to run to respond, and the flying mouse moved between the flanks and the top arc to open up space.

Compared with the opening stage, the connection between Randolph and Liu Xiu is obviously smoother now. The center has changed from Kwame Brown to McDyess. The single defense and auxiliary defense have become weaker, but the pick-and-roll has become better. Especially the off-ball pick-and-roll, Kwame-Brown's pick-and-roll top arc has improved significantly, but the off-ball pick-and-roll mainly depends on the ability of the player who needs the pick-and-roll. McDyess is a top-level pick-and-roll master in the league. He claims to be the number one pick-and-roll master off the bench .

  In addition, Clifford Robinson is still able to support him now, and his three-pointers are even more stable. In the last 10 games, he averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game with a 39% shooting rate.

  But the second-defense master 4 years ago is already 39 years old, and he can't stand up on the defensive end.

  At 5 minutes and 06 seconds into the second quarter, the Nets led the Trail Blazers 48 to 43, extending their advantage to 5 points.

But before entering the official timeout, the Trail Blazers launched a counterattack under Randolph's offensive and Liu Xiu's assistance. Before and after the official timeout, the Blazers' fierce offense caught the Nets by surprise. After being beaten 16 to 12, the Nets were beaten 8 to 2. At 8 minutes and 49 seconds, the Trail Blazers scored 51 to 50, overtaking the Nets by 1 point!

  Nate McMillan was not called for a timeout because of the overtake. When the Nets attacked, McGrady hit a three-pointer against the defense of the outsider, helping the Nets regain the lead, with a score of 53 to 51.

  It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack. Flying Squirrel played singles with the ball from the outside, and suddenly passed the ball to the basket.

   Krstic, who played in rotation, posted it after the outlaw lunatic completed a dunk, and almost got a foul.

   The score was 53 to 53, and the extrajudicial fanatic returned a goal to McGrady.

  But then McGrady made another three-pointer, raising his personal score to 20 points and stopping the Trail Blazers!

  11 points in the first quarter, McGrady has already scored 9 points in the second quarter!

  53 to 56, looking at the score, Liu Xiu Alexander walked back to the bench.

  Finally seized the Nets’ two-minute offensive break to overtake the score. As a result, McGrady, who scored a mid-range shot and a technical free throw in the first 8 minutes, suddenly stood up and scored two three-pointers in a row.

  This shock is really violent.

Maurice Cheeks was also crazy. He didn't change players for more than 9 minutes, and the lineup remained the same. The advantage, as soon as it was done, was disturbed by the opponent.

But that's okay!

  He greeted Liu Xiu who had returned to the bench, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "T-Mac looks like he's about to score, so I'll leave it to you!"

  伱 You may not believe in the light, but you can always trust the warden!

   Liu Xiugang nodded in response, and the system prompt came!

  "The desire for revenge that has been accumulated for a year is burning, and the man that God is jealous of has embarked on a road of revenge against the host...The series of missions of the warden: open your eyes to trigger..."
