Healing Basketball

   Chapter 65

  Morris-Cheeks understood Liu Xiu's idea in seconds - since he can't think of a solution, why not just copy the opposite homework?

  Randolph and Rasheed Wallace can barely help the Blazers stabilize their scoring efficiency and stop falling.

   But the two of them are insiders after all, so doing this would cost too much!

   Go on, it must be the Pistons who have the last laugh.

  The coaching staff did not come up with a way, because the thinking was solidified.

  As soon as the solution appeared, I realized it could be so simple!

  The idea was conveyed in place, and Liu Xiu decisively disappeared.

  The solution is to have it, can it be said in two, but the executor is definitely not him.

  I just waited honestly to be flipped and waited until the coaching staff felt it was time to use him.

  Maurice Cheeks went to discuss this with his coaching staff.

   Momonga glanced at Liu Xiu, who silently retreated to the wardrobe by the door, feeling complicated...

  Wesley Persson sat next to Liu Xiu: "Jess, I didn't expect you to make a suggestion for Damon to play."

   A veteran who has played for many years and was born in a sports family, Wesley Persson has excellent tactical ability. During the preseason, he was often called by the coaching staff to discuss tactics together. He just heard what Liu Xiu said.

   Even Momo could see it. Liu Xiu wanted the coaching staff to give him a chance. Of course Wesley Persson could see it.

   Liu Xiu replied: "If there is a solution to the problem, of course I will say it."

   "You don't have a good relationship with him. Even if you think of a way to change someone, you won't say it."

   "The relationship is not good...it's not good, it's not a deep hatred, it's a thing of the past."

  Looking at Liu Xiu's casual look, Wesley Person was full of grooves - it wasn't you who got a nosebleed, and of course you didn't hold any grudges.

  …

   Momonga took to the court and wanted to prove himself!

In fact, he doesn't know how to prove himself. It seems that his style of play does not work. It is no longer feasible to play against a strong team in the preseason. In the regular season, when he encounters a strong defensive team like the Pistons, he will stop. .

   His sense of crisis became even stronger. After being substituted for a while in the first quarter, he was not substituted for the entire first half.

   Plus some preseason signals... No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the coaching staff's patience with him is running out.

   It's just that this opportunity came a little weird...

  It's not important, it's not important, the important thing is that the opportunity has come!

   Back at halftime.

The Pistons sent a combination of Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Campbell.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Damon Stoudemire, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Person, Randolph, and Dale Davis.

   Campbell, who was 'seal' for a whole quarter in the second quarter, was replaced at the beginning of the second half.

  The Pistons' strategic thinking, Maurice Cheeks saw it at a glance - Larry Brown wants to continue the tone of the game in the first half!

   Unexpected things.

   The next time he plays against the Pistons, Maurice Cheeks has the confidence to find a way to make them less passive, but for now, Maurice Cheeks can only pin his hopes on Momonga.

  The coaching staff is very worried, and Liu Xiu, who came up with the solution... concentrates on analyzing the Pistons' defense, focusing on Ben Wallace's defense.

   This guy's defense is amazing! One thing Liu Xiu felt incredible, he saw Ben Wallace's average fouls per game in the past two DPOY seasons, 2.2 and 2.5 respectively!

   As far as the feeling of the fight, Ben Wallace's defense is unbelievable!

   Learn from each other's strengths and improve your defensive training methods.

   "Ben Wallace, 29 years old, 206 cm (?), 110 kg, PF/C, ability rating 81, offense—, defense 100..."

   At the beginning of the game, Liu Xiu was stunned to see Ben Wallace's ability evaluation.

   He once thought 99 was the ultimate!

   Reply from the system - "When a certain player's ability or a certain technology exceeds the normal evaluation limit, it will be calculated as 100."

   The second half of the game started, and the Blazers were the first to expect, but they were dashed in the first round.

  Hamilton encountered Momo's defense, didn't ask for the ball to play singles, and was still running.

  Billups still chose to waste time.

  Liu Xiu watched this scene, and finally fully understood—if there is no fast break opportunity, the Pistons will have to delay no matter what.

  Maurice Cheeks asked Momonga to guard Hamilton, just to give the opponent a random singles point, trying to speed up the pace of the game, but the opponent didn't get the hook.

   As for why not singles for Billups...because Hamilton averaged 0.4 threes per game last season and shot 26.9%, while Billups averaged 2 threes per game on 39.2%.

  Finally, after 18 seconds of attacking time, the Pistons officially started the attack. Hamilton threw away the flying squirrel with a swipe, received a ball from Billups, turned around and shot...missed!

   Momonga aside, just in terms of speed, Hamilton had a headache.

   Dale Davis was stuck, and Randolph held the defensive rebound.

Ben Wallace rushes back to the defense without success. Randolph was affected by Ben Wallace and failed to play the ball immediately. Campbell took the opportunity to retreat. When the ball came into the hands of the flying squirrels, the Pistons The defensive formation has settled down.

  Momming Mouse's outside singles Billups, as a former top player, he can naturally see how terrible the Pistons' defense is.

   But a flying squirrel is a flying squirrel, fearless!

  Billups' defense is good, but Momonga is fearless, just do it!

  Tactics, let go of the fight, the speed is 70 miles, the mood is, free...

   Momonga made the first attack in the second half, broke through and retreated and then pulled horizontally, and stepped on the long two-point shot of the three-point line... Hit!

   Momonga's attacking Billups, who was also Lumpy, was startled!

   This style of play is too showy!

   The 4 point guards of the Blazers, Billups all matched up, Liu Xiuwen, Derek Anderson all-round, Jeff McGinnis had a strong impact, Momo... The opening style was very sandy.

  Now, Momonga's play is more sand-sculpted, but more reckless!

   Looking at Randolph and Dale Davis who ran back to the backcourt, Billups felt that if Momo had a touch, he wouldn't be able to limit Momo's current style of play!

   On the other hand, the feeling of a flying squirrel is really coming!

   Compared to the starting lineup of Lan Fatt + Tianzun's insider combination, he likes this insider combination even more!

   In the starting stage, Randolph and Rasheed Wallace's twin towers, the tactics arranged by the coaching staff were a team attack with the cooperation of Momoko and Randolph.

   Now, with the combination of Randolph and Dale Davis, the coaching staff can arrange for two people to be responsible for the rush! The small forward position is the pitcher, the shooting guard position is the high spot shooter...just one shot...

   Just one ball!

   Momonga fell in love with this style of play.

   seems to have liberated nature!

  …

  I, Larry Brown, have always been extra grumpy.

   This time, he was cranky again.

   is very angry, scolding the second place show out of anger.

  According to the description of unreliable gossip news - Larry Brown doesn't like Milicic because they are the second overall rookie.

The difference is that Milicic was the second pick in the first round, and Larry Brown was the second pick in the seventh round.

   His goal in the third quarter was to use Campbell's physical strength to create a 10-point deficit in the first half of the game and then grind the Blazers to death.

   But in the third quarter, 3 minutes and 27 seconds, in just three and a half minutes, the score was 41 to 42!

   With a three-pointer, a mid-range shot, and a counter-attack layup, Momonga scored 7 points! Coupled with Randolph's tip-up for an offensive rebound, the Trail Blazers played a wave of 9 to 5!

   Ability, Momonga has it, it's just a way of playing poison, but given a position that suits him, he can play a miraculous effect!

  The Pistons were called to a timeout by the mouse!

   "Damon, well done, you rest for a while, next time you play, we still need you who can score!"

  Maurice-Cheeks was overjoyed, bragging about Momonga, thinking that the kid is a genius!

   Momonga has a feeling of being used... But he is straight-minded, this feeling comes and goes quickly, patted his chest and assured: "No problem!"

  Maurice Cheeks nodded with satisfaction and began to make lineup adjustments: "Jace, Ruben, Travis, Zach, Rashid, you go..."

   Momonga saw Liu Xiu replace him, and what he did just now, from a certain point of view, opened up the situation for Liu Xiu to play next game... but he didn't have so many negative emotions.

   He is a stubborn, but not stupid. He himself felt that, let him think, he would never have thought of taking the initiative to ask for a chance to play at the time just now, and he would not be able to save face...

   There is another person who is in the same mixed mood right now - Kobe Terminator.

   Ruben Patterson didn't expect that, he has become the most consistent player on the perimeter...

  The suspension came back, and the Pistons did not make any substitutions. It was still a combination of Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Ben Wallace, and Campbell.

  The Pistons attacked, and the 24-second attack time took 20 seconds to make the shot, and it hadn't entered yet, but Ben Wallace succeeded in making up the dunk!

   Offense and defense transition, the Blazers attack.

  Billups watched Liu Xiu steadily advance, which was quite surprising—the opponent actually made a decisive substitution after playing a wave of superior time!

   He thinks this is a good move, because when the Pistons called a timeout, it must have been adjusted for the first few minutes of the game, and the opponent directly replaced Momoko, and it is difficult to verify whether their adjustment is effective or not.

   But it's not important, because Larry Brown's adjustment is purely an adjustment with a bad heart, and it has nothing to do with who is in control...

   When Liu Xiu advanced beyond the three-point line, Billups immediately pressed up to fight consumption!

  Rookie, physical strength is a hurdle, consumption is always a good way to deal with rookie.

Liu Xiu pressed the defense against Billups, moved his footsteps, found the right angle and timing, and took a step. More influence is Billups than Liu Xiu!

  Liu Xiu has an advantage of half of his body and is strong! Smooth access to the inside!

The Pistons' defense didn't falter, because it was to be expected. Ben Wallace cut off the space on the right of Liu Xiuchuan, Prince covered the high shot area, and Billups bravely blocked Terra. Wes Outlaw's follow-up, and he can make up for Liu Xiu who is about to make an emergency stop at any time to interfere with the shot. Campbell squatted down to the basket and covered Randolph's receiving line on the left bottom line of the three-second zone... Liu Xiu rushed forward The three-point line has entered an isolated area!

  Liu Xiu didn't stop, didn't have any extra moves, didn't hesitate at all, the goal was to attack the frame and go straight to the basket!

   This was expected by the Pistons. It was a very smart choice. Campbell was ready and moved in place. When Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and exerted force, he reached out to interfere... how could it be?

   When Liu Xiu jumped, Campbell was surprised! Liu Xiu's take-off speed and movement speed when he shoots are not at all like a power guard who is guarded by a 92-kilogram point guard and rushes into the basket!

  'Pursuit' triggers! Liu Xiu's physical condition when he shoots in a single round, he always shoots with the best physical condition in that round, and is not affected by all the previous actions!

   But Campbell reacted very quickly. Seeing Liu Xiu's take-off speed, he immediately threw his heart away and threw himself on it with all his strength.

   Sure enough, there is no cap! However, Campbell slapped Liu Xiu on the arm just before Liu Xiu threw the ball, knocking Liu Xiu down!

   The referee's whistle blew, Campbell's thug fouled, and Liu Xiu got two free throws!

  Campbell terrified the Blazers with this shot!

   Liu Xiu was knocked down like this, and the probability of injury is not high. They were afraid that Campbell would be beaten!

  No, Randolph, who was supposed to cut into the rush, immediately rushed towards Campbell...

   "Zach!"

Before Randolph could make a move, Liu Xiu's voice came. Seeing Liu Xiu standing up on one hand and shaking his head, Randolph angrily ran over and grabbed Liu Xiu, glared at Campbell, and walked to the three-second zone. On one side, waiting for Liu Xiu to make a free throw.

The Blazers were surprised, but Liu Xiu actually endured it; the Pistons players felt that the rookie was really calm. Although Campbell made a subconscious action, the subconscious action of more than ten years of basketball experience contained the idea of ​​stimulating the rookie. Rookies tend to be impulsive.

   Liu Xiu's side... The one just now belongs to basketball action, but it's just a little rough.

   Made the first free throw, missed the second free throw, and the rebound was won by Ben Wallace.

  42 to 44, with two points remaining, Liu Xiu clapped his hand in dissatisfaction and retreated with all his strength.

   The Pistons attacked, and Billups advanced to the frontcourt... This time, Liu Xiu pressed up and pressed the defense!

   The opponent was making rough basketball moves. Liu Xiu stopped Randolph's actions, which means he really endured it?

joke!

   The competition environment has reached this point. It is almost halfway through the third quarter, and the score is only more than 40 to 40. The opponent actually wants to add a rough foul on the basis of high confrontation, so play with the opponent to the end!

   Anyway, he is just a substitute, do it!

   Liu Xiu's defensive actions were rough, but Billups was able to handle it with ease. Liu Xiu's basic single defense skills were still too poor.

Hamilton was chased by Ruben Patterson, and Travis Outlaw or Randolph to make up the defense. There was no chance. Billups singled Liu Xiu on the outside. break up...

"Snapped"

  Billups hadn't thrown the ball, but his forearm was hit so hard that he couldn't control his body and was slapped to the ground!
