Healing Basketball

   Chapter 1060 1060. This fireworks is not gorgeous

  The outlaw lunatic and Liu Xiu's defense and attack made Paul autistic.

  The extrajudicial lunatic just saw Paul's footsteps were too hasty, and predicted that the opponent would use the cover to shoot directly, so he rushed forward.

  And Paul actually saw the outlaw madman rushing towards him, but he was very confident in his bullet speed and bounce, but he didn't expect the outlaw madman who was so far away to jump in place and cap him!

   Sure enough, high school students are so annoying!

  As for Liu Xiu's three-pointer, Paul: Give me the ball, I...I...I want to go home!

  Too bullying, worked hard for three and a half quarters, maintained a 5-point difference, Ray Allen and Liu Xiu played a wave of 6-0 in more than ten seconds and directly overtook it!

  Sloan yelled "defense" and "stable" on the sidelines, with more than 4 minutes left and a chance.

  But Paul, who had already panicked, began to give up on himself after going through the stage of excitement.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with Paul's style of play. The change of direction that destroys his knees and ankles, the rush shot after the pick-and-roll, and the retreat after the pick-and-roll to close-range small shots are all his normal styles of play, but the rhythm The feeling is completely wrong, and I don’t make specific choices based on the current situation, just force it.

   Originally, the Jazz hadn't collapsed yet, leading by three and a half quarters. Even if they were overtaken, most people still had hope.

   And with the amazing performance of the Warriors last year, they also feel that they can do it, and they feel that they are special...

  But Paul single-handedly destroyed the team!

  In the next two minutes, the Jazz failed to score a single point, and were beaten 5-0 by the Trail Blazers. The score came to 95 to 89, and the Trail Blazers led by 6 points!

  From the official suspension to this time, the Jazz have not scored a single point in more than 3 minutes! There was a scoring vacuum for a while!

  In the last two minutes or so, Sloan called a timeout again and replaced Paul with Jack the Great. Jack played tough at the last moment and led the team to a score of 6-4, but he was powerless.

   Liu Xiu made 7 of 12 shots in the final quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points and led the team to a single quarter score of 31 to 18!

  The audience made 10 of 24 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. Liu Xiu scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals!

In addition to the extrajudicial fanatics' 27 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, Ray Allen's 16 points, Hill's 7 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Randolph's 12 points and 10 rebounds, Kwame Brown's 5 points and 11 rebounds …

  99 to 95, the Trail Blazers reversed the Jazz in the last quarter and defended their first home game!

   Boozer scored a game-high 32 points and 9 rebounds, but failed to hold onto the victory.

  Paul scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals. He also performed very well, but his shooting percentage went from 7 of 13 in the first three and a half quarters to 7 of 18. After the official timeout in the last quarter, he made 0 of 5 shots!

  After the game, when Liu Xiu looked at the data, he also found a problem—Paul had 12 assists alone, and the Jazz team had 19 assists.

   Except when Kirilenko performed well for a period of time, Paul handed over the ball, and Kirilenko organized an offense for a while, and Paul held the ball at other times.

   Compared with last season, this is really a huge step backward!

  Last season’s playoffs, Paul’s ball possession rate was significantly lower than in the regular season. He shared the ball with Boozer and Kirilenko.

  But this year, Paul's ball possession rate has risen instead of falling compared to the regular season!

  Liu Xiu didn't know what Xiaopao's mental journey was.

  But if Xiaopao continues the current style of play, he already has a way to defend against the Jazz, and he believes that the coaching staff also has a way to deal with it.

  Tonight they failed to defend the Jazz in the first three and a half quarters because they did not expect Paul to play so unselfishly.

  Many assists does not mean selflessness. Paul averaged 7.9 assists per game in the playoffs last season, which seems to be more selfless than tonight!

  In comparison, tonight's small cannon is theoretically better defensive than the small cannon in last season's playoffs.

  …

Stimulate!

   This is how Trail Blazers fans felt after Game 1.

  I feel excited because they won.

  The unfavorable start and the panic of being opened up in the mid-term have all become foreshadowing.

  And those who were expecting the Trail Blazers to be upset, were happy for three and a half quarters, and finally rejoiced in vain.

  After the first game, although many people still expect the Jazz to do something like the Warriors did last season, any sensible person knows that the Jazz may collapse in place.

   Soon, the rest of the day passed, and on April 24, the Trail Blazers ushered in the second game of the series against the Jazz at the Rose Garden Arena.

  In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers played back and forth with the Jazz 27 to 25. After adapting to the Jazz's offense, the Trail Blazers scored 25 to 19 and extended their lead to 8 points at halftime.

  During the intermission, the Jazz adjusted well, and the two teams tied at 27 in the third quarter.

  Sloan's on-the-spot adaptability is still good.

   But at the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers once again adapted to the Jazz's offense. The defensive end was very effective, and they played consecutive counterattacks. They beat the Jazz by 7 points 29 to 22 in a single quarter.

  After 2 hours and 18 minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers beat the Jazz 108 to 93, and the big score came to 2 to 0!

  Paul made 5 of 12 shots tonight, scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists.

   Liu Xiu made 8 of 18 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists!

   If you can't limit Xiaopao's assists, then there are more assists than Xiaopao's!

  However, there is a big difference between the two. Paul scored 13 assists, but the Jazz only had 18 assists.

  Liu Xiu took the most assists, especially in the second and final quarters. When counterattacking, he took the initiative to attract pincers and split the ball. Half of his assists were obtained during the counterattack.

  The difference is that Liu Xiu got 16 assists, and his teammates had 10 assists; Paul got 13 assists, and his teammates only had 5 assists.

  The Jazz made very effective adjustments during the pre-game preparations and during the halftime break. Only in the first and third quarters can the Jazz play so well offensively.

  But the Trail Blazers always found a way to limit the Jazz's offense so easily, because Paul somehow became only trusting himself and always wanted to create shooting opportunities on his own.

And Sloan's adjustments are also deeply influenced by Paul's style of play. Effective adjustments are made based on the characteristics of Paul's style of play. There is no problem in the regular season. In the playoffs, a long series, the opponent It's always easier to find a solution if you have time and patience.

In the original time and space, the Smiling Assassin once commented on the Paul-Harden combination that ultimately failed—it was not Paul who made Harden, they were not successful, and because of Harden, Paul had the opportunity to truly understand the playoffs How should the game be played.

  In fact, the style of play he played in the Western Conference finals last season was pretty good for Paul, but he felt that it was wrong to lose, and he wants to change this year...

   On the 27th, the Trail Blazers came to the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz.

  The Jazz’s Devil’s home court booed and booed the whole game, and then I didn’t know who he was booing.

   Liu Xiu scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, and the Trail Blazers had 31 assists and scored 107 points.

  Paul had 12 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, but the Jazz only had 16 assists and only scored 86 points.

  107 to 86, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Jazz by 21 points. The single-game point difference in this series is getting bigger and bigger!

In this game, Kirilenko, Boozer, Larry Hughes and others were basically useless in organizing offense. In the first two games, there were some opportunities to organize offense. This time, Paul held the ball for a long time. Ask for the ball outside.

   On the 29th, the fourth game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz started again at the Energy Solutions Arena.

In the first three games, Paul could at least guarantee his personal performance. Tonight he couldn’t even maintain his personal performance—playing 35 minutes, making 2 of 10 shots, including 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 4 free throws. Points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls. Halfway through the fourth quarter, 6 fouls were sent off!

   Liu Xiu played 33 minutes tonight and made 7 of 10 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals.

  The Jazz had only 10 assists as a team tonight, while the Blazers had 29. …

  121 to 83, the Trail Blazers once again slaughtered the Jazz with a 38-point difference.

   Liu Xiu averaged 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, 11.75 assists, 2.25 steals and 0.75 blocks in 4 games, leading the Trail Blazers to sweep the Jazz 4-0 and advance to the second round!

  Paul's data performance is not bad, averaging 12.75 points, 4 rebounds, 10.25 assists and 1.75 steals per game, and his shooting percentage is 44.2%.

   But those who have watched the game will know how bad his performance in this series is. He drives high and low. In G4, there is no such thing as high drive and low drive...

   Liu Xiu received a reminder that the task was completed after the game.

   "Fireworks:

  Chris Paul averaged 12.75 points per game, and goal 1 was completed.

  Chris Paul averaged 10.25 assists per game, the host averaged 11.75 assists per game, and goal 2 was completed.

  Chris Paul averaged 1.75 steals per game, the host averaged 2.25 steals per game, and goal 3 was completed.

  The host led the team to sweep the Jazz 4-0, and the advanced goal has been completed.

  Congratulations to the host for getting rewards: 18000 healing value, adaptability (*). "

   Except that objective 3 was a bit difficult, and the first battle almost overturned, this task was completed quite easily.

  Xiao Pao, in the playoffs, he is really not brilliant at all, his playoff style is really awkward.

  Liu Xiu knows why Billups was able to hammer Paul like that in 2009 in the original time and space.

  He felt that Xiaopao looked down on his teammates a little, as if he felt that his teammates were not worthy of sharing the ball in his hands.

  However, Xiaopao in the original time and space did not really understand how to play in the playoffs until he was thirty-four or five years old. Liu Xiu could only sigh and look forward to it in vain.

  …

   At noon the next day, the Trail Blazers left Salt Lake City and returned to Portland.

  Liu Xiu began to receive information from the outside world, and learned that they were the first and only team to sweep and advance!

  Other series will be played at least until Game 5.

  When he got home, he flipped through the newspapers that Anne Hathaway and Qing Er had cut. He saw that after G1, there were still a lot of media advocating that the Jazz could win the game. They only lost 4 points in the first game, which was a glorious defeat...

  Other series, the most suspenseful, is the series between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, currently tied 3-1.

  G4 Rondo scored an outrageous 14 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists, leading the Celtics to a 104-99 upset over the Cavaliers.

  But the probability of the Celtics' comeback does not seem high. Even if they lose one game, the Cavaliers still have an average margin of 15 points per game in 4 games.

   There is also a series of 3 to 1 but a little more suspenseful. It is the series between the Lakers and the Nuggets. The Nuggets defeated the Lakers 108 to 106 in G3. The Lakers currently have an average win of 9 points per game.

  Other series, before the start of the playoffs, the media predicted even more anxiety!

The Raptors tied the Eagles 2-2, and the Hawks 206 Corps played very hard. The group of strikers in this series seems to have the feeling of "capable of three and four", neither Artest nor Milicic The kind that can kill the opponent with a single hammer. The game between the two teams was long, smelly, and very intense, but from the score, it was not interesting to watch. The Raptors averaged 89 points per game, and the Eagles averaged 87 points.

  The Knicks are amazing, mainly because McGrady is amazing, leading the team to a 2-0 lead over the Bulls!

   This time, McGrady learned how to behave and did not talk nonsense, and did not give the media the opportunity to take things out of context.

  But after the Bulls stabilized their position, they won two consecutive away games and took back the home court advantage. After the Bulls woke up, it seemed that the Knicks led by Timai were coming to an end.

The Mavericks and the Rockets have played back and forth, which is beyond people's expectations. For the Rockets, Bynum and Varejao have such a big advantage in the interior hardness. It's a headache to encounter, and the Mavericks, which have been affected by the coaching change this year, can actually hold it!

   At this time, people found a blind spot-Nowitzki shot 54.6% from the field and averaged 28.5 points per game in 4 games.

   Nowitzki has the best single-round series performance of his playoff career in more than ten years!

   In the regular season this season, he played 80 games, averaging 25.9 points per game and shooting 50.6% from the field, which is also the second best in his career.

It should have been the best in his career, but after the All-Star Weekend, the team adjusted his style of play. His three-point shooting percentage dropped from 41% to 39%. He missed the 180 club for the second time in his career, and he could only watch Nash and Liu Xiu enter 180 club.

   Fortunately, there is a great **** who slows down free throws to accompany him...

   And the Magic and Hornets were able to drag the big score to a 2-2 tie, really lucky!

  The Spurs' old problem is here again-the playoffs have not started well, and it will take time to adapt.

   And Guigui's unreasonable style of play made the Spurs seem to see a smaller master.

  The Spurs fans who failed to see the Trail Blazers being kicked out are now starting to worry about their team being kicked out again.

For the Magic, Turkoglu averaged 25.75 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game. He led the Magic to make 50 three-pointers in 4 games, averaging 12.5 per game. The previous record for the number of three-pointers made per game in a single round of the playoffs was held by the Trail Blazers in the second round of the 2006 playoffs, averaging 11 three-pointers per game.

  Lewis, Turkoglu, Nelson, Redick... The Magic's outsiders are soaring on the outside. It is really difficult for Yao to start this year's playoffs!
