MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1059 The opportunity to continue the peak
"The Great Mage: Game Status.
Duplicate objects:
Teammate: Ray Allen, characteristic conversion talent: quick shot (full blood)...
Opponent: Chris Paul, characteristic conversion talent: Fireworks (full blood), bonus effect: absolute leader, synonymous with talent, teammates will always feel more at ease when the host is on the field, and the shooting confidence of the shooter partnered with the host will increase. The partner's inside teammate passes and catches the ball and has a clearer shooting idea, and the tacit understanding with the host's teammate who executes the pick-and-roll is greatly improved. "
"Prison Kill (Buff) triggers..."
"Talent: Sharpshooter is temporarily activated..."
Although he has absolute confidence, Liu Xiu will not be careless when he comes to the field and looks at the small cannon at the opposite free throw line.
"Chris Paul, 23 years old, 183 cm, 80 kg, PG, ability rating 95, offense 92, defense 93, passing 97...Played 55 games, averaged 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.91 assists, 2.79 steals and 0.1 blocks...Shooting 50.3% shooting percentage, 36.4% three-point shooting percentage, 86.8% free throw shooting percentage..."
Assassin II, Paul's current performance gives Liu Xiu the same feeling.
Except for a little more injuries.
At this time, the task is coming!
"Chris Paul, who is only 23 years old, is dazzling and gorgeous, and it has reached the most radiant moment... The superstar series mission in troubled times: firework trigger."
"Fireworks:
Goal 1: In this series, the host needs to limit Chris Paul to less than 20 points per game.
Goal 2: In this series, the host needs to limit Chris Paul’s assists per game to less than 10, or the host’s average assists per game is higher than Chris Paul’s.
Goal 3: In this series, the host must have more steals per game than Chris Paul.
Reward: For each goal completed, the healing value will be 3000.
Advanced goal: Quickly eliminate the Jazz and advance to the second round.
Advanced rewards: 5 promotions, double the rewards of the first 3 goals; complete the first 3 goals, and sweep the promotion, additional reward Special card: adaptability. "
"Adaptability (*): When the host suffers from injuries, decline in physical fitness, changes in rules... and other situations that may lead to a cliff-like decline in strength, he will get an opportunity to enhance his adaptability. Whether he can adapt depends on the host's physical condition, basic skills, and technology. Certainly."
This is a bad mission, why didn’t the first target come with "or his average score per game is higher than Xiaopao"?
But the highest reward, he wants to win!
So useful!
This card is useless for players with pure physical fitness. For that type of players, if their physical fitness declines, it is not a matter of adaptability.
But he is confident that he is already one of the best basketball players in the world, but his current goal is not just one.
If in the future, due to the decline in physical fitness, the decline in strength, the lack of self-adjustment ability... and other reasons, you can no longer adapt to the game again, this card may become the key to continue the peak period.
It’s hard to say whether it can continue. An opportunity is just an opportunity, but if you can have multiple opportunities, naturally you can’t miss it!
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Kwame Brown beat Chandler to win the jump ball, and the Blazers went first!
Jazz starting lineup: Paul, CJ-Myers, Larry Hughes, Boozer, Chandler's starting lineup.
Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.
Although Chandler lost the jump ball, he actively retreated, blocked the opponent's flank to cut into the line, and recovered to the basket in time... The defensive end performed quite well.
Liu Xiu quickly advanced, Randolph and Hill used Kwame Brown to rush into the middle to threaten the opening fast break of the opposite basket. They were blocked by Chandler, Larry Hughes and Paul. The Trail Blazers fell positional warfare.
Sloan nodded on the sidelines—playing the Trail Blazers, we should give Chandler some face, he will play harder when facing the No. 1 pick in the same class.
For Chandler, the second-best high school student, Sloan has also been disappointed.
In the regular season this season, Chandler averaged 7.8 points, 8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and his average playing time was as high as 32 minutes per game.
But now there is an opportunity to arouse Chandler's fighting spirit, Sloan is also based on the principle of not wasting, use it when it is needed, not to mention cashing out Chandler's already elusive talent, as long as Chandler wants to compete with Kwame Brown It's okay to play at a better level than usual in the playoffs. It would be even better if the trade value can be improved. Chandler will enter a contract year next season, and this summer is when he has the highest trade value.
Sloan's decision was a good one tonight. Under Chandler's hard work, the Jazz played a very strong defense!
The Blazers' counterattack in the opening stage was restrained everywhere, falling into positional battles, Larry Hughes' top arc single defense, CJ Myers' off-ball pursuit, Paul and Chandler's flanks and mid-to-short-range supplementary defense Very well done too.
Korver came off the bench and made 2 of 3 three-pointers and scored 6 points. The extrajudicial madman scored 8 points with 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. The two scored 14 points together. To 21 points!
Ray Allen was 0 for 4, Randolph was 0 for 2, and Liu Xiu was also dragged down by his teammates who made open shots in the first quarter. He only scored 2 points on 1 of 4 shots.
Fortunately, they did a good job defensively. Kirilenko, who came off the bench, scored 11 points and 3 assists. The Jazz only scored 21 points in the first quarter.
The two teams tied at 21 in the first quarter!
Started in a tie, the players of the two teams felt completely different. The Trail Blazers were a little dumbfounded, unhappy and angry.
They won 73 victories, but they were tied in the first quarter by the 46-win Jazz!
During the preparation meeting, they were still emphasizing that as long as any team enters the playoffs, it is a "championship contender". To the finals.
But after the playoffs really started, the Trail Blazers players who won 73 wins inevitably had carelessness.
Their remarks in the interview and their offensive attitude at the beginning completely ignored the Jazz players.
Now in a passive state, their mentality is even worse.
In addition, Liu Xiu's worries about the status of his teammates two days ago have now become a reality.
The offensive state is really bad!
During the intermission, the coach and Huo Tuo made very good adjustments on the offensive end, but the players of the Trail Blazers performed very generally, and their shooting performance was also poor. Compared with the performance in the first quarter, it did not continue to decline. Under the high-intensity confrontational defense, the Trail Blazers only scored 21 points in the second quarter.
While the Jazz, taking advantage of the time when the Trail Blazers put their energy into the offensive end and reduced their defensive investment, they maintained a high-intensity defense and played their offense. At the end of the game, the Trail Blazers led by 8 points 50 to 42!
In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers finally started to improve offensively. Their shooting performance and tactical execution improved. After half the game, their offense finally entered the state and scored 26 points in a single quarter.
But the defensive end is still very bad, and the Jazz scored 27 points in a single quarter.
After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed the Jazz by 9 points 68 to 77!
…
This game was played, and the Rose Garden fans were a little skeptical about life.
Is it really not good for a strong offensive team in the playoffs?
Trail Blazers fans who preached for a season that 'offensive basketball is the future' are now questioning their own thinking.
The fans in San Antonio were all excited to watch the live broadcast!
After winning the first place in the league and setting the best record in team history, they were hammered in the first game of the playoffs. They are familiar with this plot!
Their being hacked is something that has already happened and cannot be changed. They have already been nailed to the pillar of shame.
But if other teams are hacked, their attention will be divided a lot.
Just like in the original time and space, after the Bulls were also hacked in 2012, the Spurs were hacked in 2011. Many people forgot about it. Out.
Tonight, people are Jazz fans, especially San Antonio, and they are Jazz fans in place.
In the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead, and Liu Xiu hit an iron when he came up. The screams of hundreds of Jazz fans at the scene were extremely piercing, and they were immediately covered by the voices of the Trail Blazers fans.
But the joy of the hundreds of Jazz fans who came to watch the game represented a large part of the fans in front of the TV.
But when it came time for the Jazz to attack, the combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and Gasol made the Jazz very uncomfortable!
Finally, the ball came to Boozer, Boozer caught the ball and made a layup... "Snap"... Gasol was the top man, and the outlaw lunatic blocked the shot!
Gasol protected the defensive rebound, Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and made a strong shot in the last round. "Kobe Time" directly failed, but he did not stop attacking, and continued to shoot three-pointers after the pick-and-roll with Gasol... Hit!
71 to 77, the point difference narrowed to 6 points!
Sloan did not mess up, and signaled from the sidelines-press the rhythm, play positional warfare, rely on the stars, and hit the success rate.
Very simple and traditional way of coping, nothing new, but it is a very good choice when leading the playoffs.
When it came time for the Jazz to attack, Boozer made a long two-pointer, opening the point difference to 8 points.
But immediately after, Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a two-pointer, returning a goal! The point difference was reduced to 6 points again!
After getting the buff of 'that touch of back', he used the back jumper, his waist and abdomen strength increased, his movements became smoother, and he played more freely, especially when he added the step back, turning over and other actions, the feeling of the back shot That's called a silky smooth.
It was the Jazz's offense again. Paul scored two points after the pick-and-roll, but was interfered by outsiders.
Kwame Brown and the outlaw fanatic made a bold decision. When Paul and Boozer picked and rolled, the extrajudicial fanatic expanded to defend the pick and roll, and Kwame Brown switched to defend the small forward.
Works great!
Paul's small fight against Kwame Brown is even easier than fighting against the beast, but facing the outlaw fanatic who claims to be the "first man in interference flow defense", Paul's shooting is greatly affected!
Liu Xiu pressed Boozer to protect the defensive rebound, and the Jazz advanced quickly. Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt and was flanked, and the ball was sent to the flank...Ray Allen caught the ball and jumped up, took a long two-point shot...hit!
75 to 79, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 4 points!
The Jazz tried to rely on rhythm and stars to continue to suppress the Trail Blazers, but the Jazz star scored, and Liu Xiu followed suit. The Jazz star couldn't make a shot, but Liu Xiu could still make a shot!
The Jazz did not attack Liu Xiu as intensively as in the first three quarters, so he had more chances to score at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This is because the Trail Blazers played a good team performance in the third quarter.
And this was predicted by Liu Xiu during the break after the third quarter. His adjustments during the break-the whole team defends, he comes to swing, the opponent pinches him, whether he can shoot or not, the opportunity If it's really not good, he passes it on, and his teammates vote boldly. It's everyone's credit for the win, and it's his responsibility for the loss.
The butcher slapped the chair, almost broke it, and said loudly: "How can you let the warden bear the blame alone? We are all responsible for the loss! We fought them in the last quarter..."
Then, the butcher was not sent, and he was not suitable for the defense.
But his voice, coupled with the confidence brought by their teammate "the strongest player in history" Warden, the Trail Blazers players regained their confidence and played hard and confident in the final quarter.
It is so easy to regain confidence, the most important thing, of course, is that they have the best record of 73 wins in history, and they have extremely strong self-confidence.
After the point difference narrowed to 4 points, they panicked and turned to the Jazz!
Sloan called a timeout, and shouted loudly at the players, "Steady, don't mess up, don't worry, we are still ahead", trying to appease the uneasiness of the players.
An old coach with more than 20 years of coaching experience, coaching experience in two finals, and his ability is really admired by the players, Sloan's shouting smoothly calmed most of the players down.
Indeed, leading is leading, even if you win by 1 point in the end, you are still winning.
They suppress the rhythm, reduce offensive and defensive rounds, try to ensure scoring, and drag to the end-this is the current thinking of the Jazz players.
But this style of play has a clear goal, and the pressure is also very concentrated-to ensure scoring, it depends on the stars!
Rely on, of course, the two big stars Paul and Boozer.
Boozer is okay, hard enough, strong enough, and can score stably against Kwame Brown's defense.
But their more critical scorer Paul panicked!
Paul is one of the few Jazz players who failed to calm down!
Over the past three years, every time Paul and Liu Xiu played against each other, it was like having a nightmare, or an endless loop...
Paul did not give up, nor did he hesitate to play. Instead, he played more resolutely and harder after returning from the timeout!
He performed very well, and his excellent form tonight is still there. In the rhythmic positional battle, he maintained a fairly good performance. Before the official timeout, he made 2 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws to get 6 points, helping the Jazz lead the Trail Blazers by 5 points 89 to 84 before the official timeout.
12 to 16, the Jazz, under the leadership of Paul, worked hard to withstand the Blazers' counterattack.
However, after the official timeout came back, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, and the Trail Blazers chased the score to 87 to 89.
Paul shouldered the heavy burden again. He chose Bo, and after the pick-and-roll, he scored a three-pointer...Capped!
Liu Xiu rushed out to grab the ball before Paul, and counterattacked!
Paul turned around before he could stand still, and chased after Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu rushed to the frontcourt and stopped outside the three-point line. Paul rushed over his head and entered the three-point line, but he turned around and pounced on Liu Xiu again relying on his powerful explosive power...
Facing Paul's attack, Liu Xiu chased and hit a three-pointer from a little to the right of the top arc!
The 'water flower' is blooming!
Ray Allen and Liu Xiu scored two three-pointers together, helping the Trail Blazers overtake the Jazz by 90-89 by 1 point at 7 minutes and 41 seconds of the fourth quarter!
…
Finally, I don’t have to go to the hospital anymore. I was discharged in the afternoon. I finished writing a chapter at the buzzer tonight, and almost stopped the update.
Thank you for your support and understanding, we will resume normal update tomorrow~Thank you!
