Healing Basketball

  Chapter 668 668. Has the head coach betrayed?

   "We fell behind 31 to 32 in the first quarter, and we led 32 to 29 in the second quarter. We have a slight upper hand overall. It's good, but we can't be careless..."

  Back to the locker room during the intermission. After the players rested for a few minutes, Maurice Cheeks began to adjust. First, he quickly analyzed the situation in the first half.

  The main statistics of the two teams in the first half were written on the small blackboard.

  Liu Xiu looked at McGrady's 25 points and 2 assists in the halftime.

   Kidd, who played 20 minutes, scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. The court controller had 7 assists at some point. Liu Xiu felt that Kidd didn't hold the ball for a long time.

   Looking at myself with 18 points and McGrady with 25 points, the score gap has narrowed from 9 points to 7 points. The pressure in this regard has not decreased.

   This guy is also the master who can reach 60+ in a single game, and now he doesn’t need to be responsible for organizing the offense, at least he doesn’t need to invest too much energy in organizing the offense, he only needs to focus on one... Eh? Focus on one item!

   Liu Xiu's eyes widened again.

   There is a way!

  After the analysis, the coach was about to make adjustments. When he saw the warden raising his hand, he hurriedly said, "Please put forward your immature suggestion..."

  …

  The intermission time is almost over, and the two teams return to the court.

  Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Raheem, and Mourning exercise their bodies and prepare for the third quarter that will start soon.

  The vice president began to worry again, and asked the coach: "Aren't Ray, Zach, and Kwame all up?"

  The coach raised his chin: "We are leading! I didn't replace them in advance when we were behind, let alone now? The king of heaven is here, and I will also give the three-pointer and the butcher at least 15 minutes of rest per game."

The vice president also provided the warden with a small wave of healing value. Regarding adjustment suggestions, he has always only offered suggestions, and he has long been used to them not being adopted. He knows the coaching characteristics of this working partner, and he even ignores the boss's words. kind of.

   But why did that brat get accepted nine times out of ten?

  Liu Xiu is used to the situation where the vice president provides healing value for no reason, and ignores it, but he is very surprised by the five people walking on the field opposite...

Kidd, McGrady, Richard Jefferson, the league's strongest perimeter combination continued to play, McGrady was full in the first half, Kidd played 20 minutes, Jefferson played 17 minutes, played a lot of time, but the opponent Obviously, he regards this game as a preview of the finals, and has a deep obsession with winning this game... Liu Xiu thinks it is normal.

  But the insiders sent by the twin towers are Desagaina-Diop and Puerzbila!

Diop, 2001 insider, good defense, averaged 15 minutes per game this season, 1.4 blocked shots, and is also a player with extremely high blocking efficiency. The twin towers formed by him and Przybilla can be said to be the most efficient in blocking shots in the league Nice twin towers.

   It's just that, with these two partners, what should the Nets do offensively?

   Soon, the third quarter began, and the Nets took the lead.

   What Liu Xiu was curious about was precisely what Kidd, the court controller of the Nets, had a headache for.

   Kidd doubts, their head coach is counseled!

  He doubted very seriously. After being scored 31 points by the Trail Blazers in the first quarter and 32 points by the Trail Blazers in the second quarter, his head coach was persuaded!

  During the intermission, Nate McMillan talked about how to defend almost the whole time.

   With Nate McMillan, Kidd is going to wait until privately to talk about it. When he was on the court with Byron Scott, his image jumped straight away. Now we have to pay attention, face is still needed.

  He concentrates on running the offense.

   It's just that, with such a twin tower, the offensive running position is basically useless. Kidd didn't think of how the two of them would attack together, and finally turned into McGrady's singles with the ball.

Faced with the interference from the outsiders, McGrady chose to break through, but Diop moved poorly. Under Liu Xiu's block and the interference from the outsiders, McGrady just hit the Nets for a layup. Miss!

   Mourning defended the defensive rebound, and Kidd called his teammates to retreat.

  Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced quickly, but instead of rushing to the opponent at full speed to switch offense and defense, he fell into a positional battle.

  Now he prefers to fight positional warfare.

  He originally thought that his immature suggestion and the coach's bold plan would be difficult to implement, but he didn't expect that the opponent's coach might be their undercover agent!

Diop+Purzbila, they have Mourning on their side, these three brothers are crowded in the three-second zone, by the way, there is also Raheem, such a three-second zone, even McGrady will have a hard time attacking the frame... the opposite host The coach's adjustment made McGrady's singles more difficult for no reason.

  The more difficult the attack, the greater the consumption.

   What Liu Xiu has to do now is to increase consumption of McGrady!

   Liu Xiu stopped at a big step outside the top arc, and Kidd reluctantly followed the outlaw lunatic to approach the left corner.

  Gloves with superb back-up skills, and a brutal but powerful warden with high back-ups.

These two are placed on the back line. Kidd can only go to the left side of the three-second zone to defend against the outlaws to catch and shoot, let McGrady defend Liu Xiu, and let Richard Jefferson defend Payton. You can rely on height and mobility to lock Liu Xiu and Payton's direct backs.

   But in this way, Liu Xiu went to the right to break through, and there was no outside line to shrink and block the defense on the flank.

   And the Twin Towers…

Kidd doesn't know if Diop and Pulzbila are in sync on the defensive end. Anyway, he doesn't have any images of these two playing together. The combined average playing time of the two is less than 40 minutes per game. They are starting substitutes with the same function. character of.

   McGrady didn't trust the back so much. He carefully guarded the top arc and focused on defense. Fortunately, Kwame Brown and McDyess didn't play on the opposite side.

  The Trail Blazers players quickly settled into position, and Liu Xiu quickly launched a singles. Although he did not play offensive and defensive transitions, the overall rhythm was very fast. When Liu Xiu started to break through, the offensive time only passed 10 seconds.

  Liu Xiu changed direction, failed to get a breakthrough opportunity, forced to rush forward, and took the initiative to turn around after entering the free throw line... McGrady defended very well!

   Just when McGrady thought that Liu Xiu was going to get angry and force his shot, Liu Xiu passed it on!

  Raheem went around to the free throw line to meet Liu Xiu's pass. After Liu Xiu made a pass, Raheem still had 10 seconds to attack when he received the ball. He had enough time to patiently look for scoring opportunities in singles.

  Diop’s position is still okay. When Raheem went around to the free throw line, he was always in front of Raheem. Facing Diop’s defense, Raheem chose to break through.

  The situation that Kidd and McGrady were worried about appeared. The two towers seemed to have high defensive efficiency, but they were completely out of sync. There was no tacit understanding at all. Raheem jumped and scored with ease!

  In just one round, the mentality of the Nets' strongest outside trio collapsed a bit.

   This pair of twin towers affects both offense and defense!
