386. Are all the wardens they met like this? (Update 226)

Facing the Wizards' four in-form stars and turning on the power of the West Coast, Liu Xiu and his teammates felt it was unwise.

But the teammates all have strange confidence in Liu Xiu. Not only the teammates, but also the Wizards players and fans at the scene have confidence in Liu Xiu, which is reflected in the Wizards' defensive attitude and enthusiasm.

Larry Hughes's defense of Liu Xiu in isolation is no different from his defense of Kobe, McGrady, Iverson and others, and the rest of the Wizards' preparations for assisting and supplementing defense are also the same.

Liu Xiu suddenly pulled horizontally and changed direction. This time, Larry Hughes was prepared and retreated directly, preparing to use Liu Xiu's cover to break through the defense and Liu Xiu made an emergency stop jumper.

But Liu Xiu took advantage of the cover to brake while circling the pile, and his 'Talent: Perfect Braking' was triggered. His overall strength at the moment of the emergency stop was greatly improved. He completed the emergency stop during the circling pile perfectly, and then took off with the trend, taking off with the same speed and speed.

The height was compensated. Haywood saw Liu Xiu suddenly stop to grab the ball and accelerate to save, but a beat later, Liu Xiu stopped in the pick-and-roll and shot a three-pointer...it went in!

It feels good! The Buff 'General' also has a +3 bonus to three-pointers within 1 second after a pick-and-roll, which is perfectly combined with 'Perfect Braking'!

The teammates cursed on the spot after seeing the ball.

What the hell is this going to do?

That is to say, there will be no live broadcast of tonight's game on the Imperial TV, otherwise the audience who did not press mute in front of the TV will hear the sound of "hoohohoho" again.

But they got in!

After the curse, his teammates excitedly rushed back to the backcourt and high-fived Liu Xiu to celebrate the three-pointer. This shot was so exciting! The pressure from the Wizards' four major stars has been reduced a lot.

11 to 10, the Trail Blazers went ahead by 1 point!

Liu Xiu licked his lips with his tongue, puffed out his mouth, took a long breath, and threw himself into defense.

By analogy, I am talking about the current situation. After imitating the change of direction from Marbury the day before yesterday, he was inspired and had new ideas for using his talents. He became more and more unconstrained and free... Of course,

The copied talent is strong enough, and his ability in that area is also sufficient.

And the talent he copied tonight is strong enough! He is also good at technology!

In competition, if you don’t have the ability to push directly, strategy is very important.

The Wizards' four major stars are on the court at the same time, making it difficult to defeat them. The Trail Blazers can fight with a purely offensive lineup regardless of the situation, but it is not wise to give up their own advantages and fight against the opponent's advantages.

.

Liu Xiu's idea is very simple. Although the Wizards' four major players have the lowest average playing time of 38 minutes per game, it is impossible for the four of them to really play 38 minutes at the same time. If that were the case, Liu Xiu would be happy.

He waited until it was time for all four of them to rest, and then let the little flying squirrel go up and lead the team to kill the opponent.

But that situation is unlikely. The four major stars will always need to rotate and rest. After the rotation period, the advantage of the Trail Blazers' lineup depth will be reflected.

The idea is simple and clear, and the execution is also simple... The power of the West Coast and the 'perfect braking' copied from Arenas are a perfect match!

The Wizards stars were shocked by Liu Xiu's goal, but it didn't scare them.

On the contrary, Arenas was even more excited.

As Arenas advanced, he also saw a flash of high-spirited fighting spirit in Liu Xiu's eyes. He was sure that that look was directed at him! Although Liu Xiu immediately resumed his look of "Guan Er Nai inserts the bid and sells the first".

', but Arenas felt a little bit proud.

Just like most players know that Garnett's trash talk on the street is intentional, the purpose is to mess up the opponent's mentality, but most players will still be affected when they encounter Liu Xiu's arrogant expression, Arenas knows that Liu Xiu is

It was intentional, but it still made me angry when I saw it.

But, the more this happens, the more excited and excited he will be when he feels the importance and fighting spirit of his opponent from Liu Xiu... Fight, fight, fight!

Under the leadership of Arenas, the Wizards continued to launch the triangle offense and performed better through tactics. In Arenas' view, it was also part of their strength. There were good tactics to play, and of course they had to use them in the matchup.

The Blazers' offense is simple. Liu Xiu can shoot if he chooses to do so. This really makes the Wizards uncomfortable. In the Wizards' perception, Liu Xiu does not play like this.

The Wizards and Trail Blazers played against each other twice last season. Liu Xiu had a triple-double and once had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. The feeling of direct confrontation left a more profound impression on the Wizards than the video and cold statistics.

Liu Xiu really took this into consideration. He encountered this situation frequently after he switched to shooting guard. He noticed and took advantage of the good conditions, so of course he had to take advantage of them.

Ever since, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV saw Arenas or Larry Hughes instigating a team attack, Liu Xiu's side made a pick-and-roll one-on-two pull-up jumper, and the Wizards launched another team attack.

, Liu Xiu made a mid-range shot during a confrontation with a change of direction and breakthrough. The Wizards' tactics did not work out and they chose to attack in singles. Liu Xiu still played in singles...

Although the situation was beyond the Wizards' expectations, the Wizards' defensive attitude was firm. They defended how they should, just like the outlaws defended Arenas. They focused on interference, not blocking, and did not create unnecessary flanking attacks for themselves.

The defense brings more loopholes. Although Liu Xiu has many explosive scoring performances, the Wizards players have shown confidence and firm attitude this season. They don't believe that they just met...

But, man, sometimes you just have to be so lazy!

In this wave of hits, the Wizards had the upper hand as a whole, but they were unable to establish a clear lead and truly widen the point difference!

No, it’s here again!

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds into the first quarter, with Arenas catching the ball around the pile and hitting a jumper, the Wizards tied the score to 27-21, extending their lead to 6 points.

Immediately after the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu hit Larry Hughes with a two-pointer from the top of the arc, and also caused Larry Hughes to foul!

23 to 27, the point difference narrowed to 4 points, Liu Xiu had to take an additional penalty!

Eddie Jordan has been suffering for a while. He did not make any substitutions after the official timeout. He wanted to establish a clear lead in the opening stage. In his coaching concept, as long as there are no substitutions, it is still the opening stage. There are

Others with this coaching philosophy include Mike D'Antoni, Rick Adelman and others.

The Wizards players are also used to this coaching philosophy. Under this mentality, they have really maintained their impact in the opening stage and played very well.

But Liu Xiu relied on extreme play to close the gap at critical moments time and time again!

Eddie Jordan was cursing madly in his heart. He had known that it would be better to start the rotation after the official timeout. He spent a lot of energy in vain. Not only did the score difference not widen, but he also allowed the opponent's second grader to show off wildly.

But his expression is still calm and relaxed. After all, he plays triangle offense and is a big fan of Zen Master.

It’s just that everything is calm and calm. Zen Master can bring people confidence because he has a bunch of championship rings, but Eddie Jordan’s calm and calm attitude is regarded as facial paralysis...

Although they were still leading by 4 points, the Wizards players were shocked by Liu Xiu's performance.

Just now Liu Xiu played this 2+1, and Larry Hughes was beaten so hard that he lost his cool!

But it is understandable that players guarding Arenas often lose their cool this season.

What Larry Hughes encountered was even scarier than what the defenders who guarded Arenas encountered!

Just now, Liu Xiu hit Larry Hughes. After the timeout, there was no replay on the big screen, but there was a replay on the live TV screen - Liu Xiu's single from beyond the three-point line, Larry Hughes's defensive position was excellent, and he was able to prevent penetration shots.

With both considerations in mind, Liu Xiu accelerated his breakthrough. When he reached the free throw line, it was obvious that he was already sprinting at full speed. Larry Hughes followed closely with all his strength. However, Liu Xiu suddenly stopped and retreated. Larry Hughes quickly turned around and pounced, but

Didn't keep up! This time Larry Hughes lost his previous calmness and impatiently pressed forward and bumped into Liu Xiu who had already completed the shot. He was called for a foul!

The sudden stops, steps back, and pull-up jump shots that make people look extremely comfortable are pleasing to the eye. If nothing else, the movements are really cool.

Liu Xiu has made more than one shot like this since the beginning of the game. Some of them went in, and some didn't. But every time he scored, he left a deep impression on the opponent's Wizards players.

After seeing Liu Xiuyou's goal, even the Wizards players had an idea - even Arenas can't do this, right?

…

After entering the timeout, the atmosphere on the Trail Blazers' bench was high, and those who didn't know it thought they were leading.

But it doesn't matter who is leading, the Trail Blazers players all know that their opportunity has come and they must seize it!

So far in the first quarter, Payton is resting, while Randolph and Raheem take turns to play at close range for a few minutes. It is purely the handsome guy who is eating hand cakes who supports the offense.

Making 4 of 7 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, Liu Xiu played 9 and a half minutes and scored 13 points and 3 rebounds, and one extra penalty was not executed!

Maurice Cheeks adjusted the lineup, arranged tactics, and finally said, "Don't be careless."

Don’t worry about the tacit understanding. In terms of tactical running-in, a new basic tactical framework has been established almost as early as the Christmas war, and the tactical reserves have become more abundant as the season progresses.

At this time, Maurice Cheeks was afraid that his team members would lose control because of Liu Xiu's violent performance against the four opposing players.

But he was obviously overthinking it. His coaching method, in which he dared not even listen to his boss's words, was truly intimidating to the players. Players are nothing if they don't have a chance to play, no matter how talented or powerful they are.

So when he said, "Don't be careless," the players immediately concentrated on preparing for the game.

Soon, the long timeout ended and players from both teams took the field.

The Trail Blazers fielded a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph and McDyess.

The Wizards sent a combination of Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jarvis Hayes, Jamison and Jared Jeffries.
Chapter completed!
