In fact, Liu Xiu and Hinrich never had a head-on conflict, and the only match was the final.

But because of that game, Liu Xiu won the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four Best Team Point Guard award, while Hinrich did not.

Of course, the most important thing is the championship. Syracuse University led by Liu Xiu and Anthony made Hinrich's last attempt to win the championship fall in the finals.

The rematch between Liu Xiu and Hinrich ended in a crushing defeat for Hinrich.

Soon, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Bulls at home.

The Bulls sent a combination of Hinrich, Jamal Crawford, Jaylen Rose, Donyel Marshall, and Eddie Curry.

The Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Jeff McGinnis, Reuben Patterson, Wesley Persson, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Bulls seem to be full of talented players at every position, but their strength...

At 6 minutes and 22 seconds into the first quarter, Tianzun caught the ball in the low post, turned around Eddy Curry, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Eddie Curry, who has a huge body and nimble feet, looks like a meat pile at this moment.

The score was 20 to 12, Tianzun opened the difference to 8 points!

Bulls coach Scott Skiles called a timeout!

There is a huge gap in strength. Kevin Plitchar suggested the coach to let the rookie play more tonight, and he got the answer.

The strength of the Bulls is not worth mentioning, but there are still players that Kevin Plitchar is very interested in. Hinrich.

A very good rookie point guard, not as stunning as Liu Xiu, but as a coach, Kevin Plitchar admires Hinrich very much.

However, one month into his rookie season, Hinrich ran into trouble as a rookie.

The technical characteristics have been thoroughly analyzed. The NBA schedule is much more intensive and physically demanding than the NCAA. When the top players from the NCAA arrive in the NBA, there is a huge psychological gap...that is, they hit a wall.

But after hitting the wall, Hinrich did a very good job of self-adjustment and showed strong psychological quality.

However, thinking of this, Kevin Plitchar's attention returned to his three rookies who were about to play.

Although all three of them have many shortcomings, in terms of psychological quality, all three of them are excellent!

The simple and driven Travis Outlaw.

The undrafted Matt Carroll is persistent, patient and hard-working.

Liu Xiu, synonymous with talent...

They seem to have no problem with the mental quality of rookies that troubles coaches the most.

Kevin Pritchar laughed out loud when he thought that the "package plan for what to do when encountering the rookie wall" that he prepared was useless...

…

"Kirk Hinrich, 22 years old, 193 cm, 86 kg, PG, ability evaluation 75... averaged 11.6 points, 3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game...

The matching degree is 35%..."

"The Great Magician:

Game status.

Copy object:

Teammate: Zach Randolph…

Opponent: Kirk Hinrich, characteristic transformation talent: shooting after the pick-and-roll, bonus effect: improved shooting stability after the pick-and-roll."

"Is this the bonus?"

Liu Xiu complained, spread the magnesium powder on his hand evenly, and went on stage.

With a matching rate of 35%, plus Hinrich is still a rookie who has only played in the NBA for one month, that's it, what kind of bike do you want?

Playing with him were Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Spandinha.

The three core veterans of Little Flying Squirrel, Tianzun, and hitter Davis will definitely have very little playing time tonight.

As for Randolph, the core... Randolph is only 22 years old, less than a year older than Liu Xiu, and younger than the opposite Hinrich. He is still in the growth stage. Of course, he needs to play more and practice more.

The Bulls sent a combination of Hinrich, Kendall Gill, Marcus Fizer, Corey Blount, and Tyson Chandler.

After the timeout, the Bulls attack.

Hinrich advanced with the ball and became angry when he saw Liu Xiu guarding the top arc!

However, Hinrich has a very strong characteristic as a player, a characteristic that Liu Xiu did not copy, and he will always play better when he encounters an opponent he is eager to defeat.

Angry but calmer, quicker thinking, bolder, more prone to outbursts...

Hinrich beckoned for Chandler after halftime. He reached outside the three-point line, did not contact Liu Xiu, and quickly pulled horizontally. Chandler moved into position and started a pick-and-roll attack!

Liu Xiu shouted "change defense" immediately, and then bravely confronted Chandler.

Chandler pushed past Liu Xiu and cut in, missing the best opportunity.

On the other side, Hinrich encountered Randolph switching defenses and rushing towards the basket. From the three-point line to the free throw line, he could not get rid of the agile Randolph. He did not get rid of Randolph until he reached the low post on the right side of the three-second zone.

Dove gets space, and Spandinia has moved into position...

This was within Hinrich’s expectation!

When encountering a defense, the ball is released...

Marcus Feizer caught the ball from the left side of the three-second zone, jumped high, and succeeded in a violent dunk!

Liu Xiu ran back to the inside to receive Matt Carroll's serve, and secretly sighed that it was really difficult to deal with!

He knew very well that there was a huge gap in strength between the two teams, but it had nothing to do with their current lineup. Except for Randolph, they dare not say they had advantages in other positions.

Of course, he wasn't nervous or scared. He had strong teammates on the bench and he wasn't under much pressure... 'Nimi!'

A system prompt flashed before his eyes!

"The once peak duel continues on a new stage, and the mission: The man who must retaliate is triggered."

"A man who must retaliate against evil:

Goal: The host must have more assists than Kirk Hinrich in this game.

Reward: 1000 healing points."

Just now I was thinking that there was no pressure, but the pressure has just come!

After half the game, Liu Xiu's briefly confused mind calmed down and he concentrated on the game.

Instead of being impatient because the task came, Liu Xiu lobbed the ball to Randolph who was leaning against Chandler on the right side of the three-second zone.

Randolph caught the ball and feinted a shot. Unlike other young jumping men, Chandler didn't stagger. Randolph seemed to have met Gasol again. He was similar in height and although his wingspan was not as good as Gasol's, he was

It's not that much different.

but……

Without any hesitation, Randolph hit him directly!

"Tyson Chandler, 21 years old, height 216 cm, wingspan 221 cm, weight 107 kg, C, ability evaluation 69, offense -, defense 84..."

The lanky Chandler was knocked back by Randolph!

Chandler has excellent defensive awareness! After being knocked back, he still stretched his hand upward to interfere with Randolph's shot in the three-second zone!

To Chandler's surprise, Randolph didn't push up or turn around to hook the ball. Instead, he stepped forward with his right foot. When his right foot landed, he turned right and shot away from the basket...

...turn over and shoot a jump shot!

Missed!

The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced toward the front of the backboard. Liu Xiu rushed in, grabbed the offensive rebound, and tipped the ball in... Still missed!

Chandler's guard... failed to protect him. The blacksmith Randolph rushed in and squeezed Chandler away to grab the offensive rebound, and then added... it went in!

Liu Xiu and Randolph high-fived in celebration, and Kendall Gill and Chandler, old and young, looked at each other and both showed wry smiles.

The height advantage is so huge. Kendall Gill is 196 centimeters tall and Chandler is 216 centimeters taller than the other, but both of them are easily squeezed out by the other.

There is no other reason. Kendall Gill is ten kilograms lighter than Liu Xiu, and Chandler is ten kilograms lighter than Randolph...

But this doesn't surprise Chandler. What surprises Chandler is that Randolph's back-up play has evolved again!

Although Chandler's playing time has been reduced, Chandler is a player with high professionalism. He does not give up on himself and tries his best to make the best preparations for every game.

Chandler knew Randolph, his opponent in the same competition, very well. He really didn't expect it just now. When Randolph turned over, he jumped on him a beat too late, which caused Randolph to block his position when he was behind in the rush.

Another slow beat, but failed to stop Randolph.

Although Randolph missed the back-up this time, Chandler seems to have seen another leap in Randolph's offensive skills... Counting Parker and Arenas who made great achievements last season, and Joe Johnson who took off this year, they are 01

After so many years of fighting, it has actually become the year of the draft. Among the geniuses, he is the only one who is getting worse and worse...

After running to the frontcourt, Chandler put away his frustration and re-entered the game. He received Hinrich's call to block Liu Xiu.

But it was not Randolph who followed Chandler out of the paint, but Travis Outlaw!

Liu Xiu did not carry Chandler like he did in the last round. He immediately shrunk after switching defenses and shrank under the basket with Randolph and Spandinha to double-team Corey Blount who was off the ball.

Travis Outlaw, who switched to guarding Hinrich, adhered to Liu Xiu's instructions to guard the big guard and the small one, never press, never jump!
