Healing Basketball

   Chapter 680 680. We also need to make changes

  Liu Xiu finally understood why Kobe was always so irritable when he played against the Spurs in the playoffs, taking so many shots and often shooting over 50%.

It has something to do with O'Neal as an inside teammate, but this is not the most important thing. In the 2007-08 season playoffs, without O'Neal as a teammate, Bynum was reimbursed, and Gasol was defended by Duncan with only 44.6% shooting rate and average 13.2 points, but in that Western Conference finals Kobe averaged 29.2 points per game with a 53.3% shooting rate and smashed the Spurs.

   You must know that the playoffs were the final peak of Duncan's personal ability. In the Western Conference finals, Duncan averaged 22.4 points, 17.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2 blocks per game in 5 games, but he was beaten by Kobe.

  Because Popovich's head is too iron, excessive pursuit of stability.

  Liu Xiu reckons that, in Popovich's opinion, it is better to maintain an obvious defensive loophole than the opponent to use this defensive loophole to find more breakthroughs.

   Liu Xiu can’t say what’s wrong with this idea. After all, since the new century, there have been fewer and fewer CIC masters…

  So, he went 6-for-9 from the field in the first quarter tonight, and it was a blast.

  The Spurs' inability to deal with the opponent's outbreak once again showed their characteristics. They can only be stable, and they can only expect the opponent's good state to decline.

   In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their excellent performance in the first quarter and scored 29 points in a single quarter again.

  The performance of the Spurs picked up in the second quarter. Horry made 3 of 4 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers. He performed very well with 8 points in a single quarter, but the team only scored 23 points.

   At the end of halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 23 points 58 to 35!

In the third quarter, an unexpected situation occurred. The Spurs sent out a combination of Udrih, Ginobili, Barry, Horry, and Duncan. This lineup has very fierce offensive firepower. The Spurs rushed to the Trail Blazers as soon as they came up. A 12 to 4 chased the score to 47 to 62, narrowing the point difference to 15 points.

  But then the Trail Blazers replaced Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel. In the rest of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 35 points!

  The Spurs lineup has strong offensive firepower, but the defense is called a collapse, and the rhythm of the defense collapse has already been brought up. Even if the Spurs replaced the defensive lineup later, the defense could not be raised again for a while.

   After the Spurs scored 12 points in the start, the offense behind them was actually not bad, scoring 23 points, but it was far behind the Trail Blazers' 35 points.

   Finally narrowed the point difference to less than 20 points, but was soon pulled back to more than 20 points.

   After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 27 points 97 to 70!

   Liu Xiu played 32 minutes and made 14 of 22 shots, including 0 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!

  At the end of the quarter, Liu Xiu was not used, and the Trail Blazers used a pure substitute lineup. Little Flying Squirrel started to play, and made a lot of offensive mistakes. The team only scored 23 points in a single quarter.

  In fact, Maurice Cheeks was a little worried at the end of the quarter. The opponent's offense in the third quarter was quite scary. They scored 35 points in a single quarter. Thanks to their better offensive skills, they scored 39 points in a single quarter and overwhelmed the opponent.

  However, the Spurs played very traditionally in the final quarter. The quarter that seemed to be out of control just now was not played by them. The lineup deployed by the Trail Blazers in the final quarter was very weak. The Spurs still only scored 28 points.

  In the end, the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs 120 to 98 and won their 58th victory of the season!

  …

  The final whistle sounded, and Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

   "Competition score...Comprehensive score S+, congratulations to the host for receiving 1000 healing value rewards."

  Excellent performance!

   The data is not as good as when I got 40+10, but the score is higher!

   "Buddha also has three fires:

  Goal 1: Complete at least one block or dunk against Tim Duncan in this game. (Times of dunking Tim Duncan: 1 time, times of blocking Tim Duncan: 0 times, completed.)

  Objective 2: Every time the host is blocked by Tim Duncan, he needs to double block or dunk in return to the Spurs players. (Blocked by Tim Duncan: 0 times, blocked or dunked by Spurs players: 4 times, completed.)

  Goal 3: Win the game. (completed.)

  Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random attribute point, which has been used automatically...Congratulations to the host for obtaining an attribute point: flexibility +1, because the host's flexibility has reached the top level, it is automatically converted into an attribute card: flexibility +1.

  The Overlord has started the next phase of the mission, which will be triggered when the Overlord plays against Tim Duncan in this season's playoffs. "

  Liu Xiu saw that he already had 3 attribute cards of flexibility +1, and was overjoyed, but immediately thought of another thing, and with a thought, the system screen returned to the task completion prompt.

  He asked in his heart: 'If we don't meet in the playoffs, I know it must be a failure if I am eliminated first, but what if Duncan is eliminated first? '

  The system notification is coming soon.

  "If the host does not meet Tim Duncan in the playoffs this season, the playoffs will not trigger follow-up tasks."

  Liu Xiu didn't know what to think when she saw this prompt.

   Makes sense! This answer makes perfect sense!

  He turned off the system screen, and thought about the issue of 'flexibility' later, and celebrated the victory with his teammates first.

  Beating the Spurs this time, the Trail Blazers players are more excited than beating the Spurs in the previous 3 times, because they swept their opponents in the regular season!

   Moreover, this is a team victory. Except for Liu Xiu's 33 points, everyone else scored less than 20 points.

   Randolph scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Ray Allen 13 points, Flying Squirrel 16 points, Payton 13 points, Outlaws 8 points and 2 assists... After Liu Xiu opened up the high position, the whole team opened up.

   Liu Xiuwai's best performance is Kwame Brown!

   6 of 8 shots, plus 6 of 6 free throws, Kwame Brown scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

  The Trail Blazers players celebrated excitedly, but the Spurs players could only leave the field sadly.

  Duncan went to the away game tonight with anger, but was beaten... In fact, he scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 7 of 15 shots.

   But losing is tantamount to useless. Also, he watched Kwame Brown make 6 of 6 free throws, and he wanted to cry.

  This season Kwame Brown averaged 3.4 free throws and 2.6 free throws per game! 76.4% free throw percentage!

  If he has such a free throw performance, he must not continue to average 20+ per game!

   But his free throw percentage fell to 61% this season...

   The game is over, lost, Duncan is not as angry as before the game.

   And Parker, after returning to the hotel, buried his head in the bed and cried bitterly.

   After waiting for Parker to finish crying, Duncan called Parker and Ginobili, and together they found Popovich who was drinking alone after losing.

  Finally, the Heavenly Happiness OK Group was disbanded, and the Great Master was unable to support himself alone. The warden is here!

   Looking at the troika, the slightly drunk Popovich asked impatiently, "What are you going to do?"

   Duncan said: "Boss, I have been changing, but now this is not enough, I think we also need to make changes..."
