MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1030 Tears of the times?
Chapter 1030 1030. Tears of the times?
The Trail Blazers started off by taking the Lakers by surprise on both ends of the offense and defense.
As the game unfolded, the Trail Blazers quickly gained the upper hand with a new tactical system.
After the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 13 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal.
Ray Allen scored 6 points on 2 of 3 shots, Hill had 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph had 6 points, Kwame Brown had 5 points, Gasol Jr. came off the bench with 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists... the first In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers only played 6 times and scored 34 points in a single quarter!
As for the Lakers, the offense was blocked first, and then the defense failed to defend. Although Kobe tried his best to drive the team with singles, he was still beaten by the Trail Blazers.
Although Kobe scored 9 points on 3 of 7 shots, the Lakers only scored 18 points.
The Trail Blazers took a 16-point lead in the first quarter!
Entering the intersection, Kobe grasped the key point that the opponent only sent 6 people in the first quarter.
Tonight is the opponent's first "actual combat" of the new system, so it means that these 6 people are the 6 people with the highest tacit understanding under the opponent's new system.
This may be an opportunity, but the situation is enough to give him a headache.
The five starters on the opposite side are actually very suitable for the new tactics!
It was the backup center that surprised Kobe.
For a fat man like that, the Trail Blazers' positional offense actually became smoother after playing.
That one-handed support made him think that his Da Zhi had defected to the opposite side.
No, his Big Zhi is still stronger.
Although the Spanish fat man on the opposite side is better at protecting the frame and blocking people more stably, Dazhi shoots better, has a wider shooting range, and can cut into the score.
Anyway, homemade is good...but if you want to exchange...
Kobe remembers the scouting report, the Spanish center was only 23 years old... No, it still doesn't work, now he needs stronger teammates.
After the intermission, the Lakers changed their style of play-the triangle offense started!
Kobe, David West, and Deron's personal offense-based style of play started.
In the second quarter, Kobe made 7 of 12 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 0 of 1 free throws, 1 of 2 layups... Relying on 6 of 10 mid-range shots, he scored 14 points in a single quarter!
Adding Deron's 5 points, West's 7 points, and the scoring player's 5 points, the Lakers scored 31 points in the second quarter!
The three major stars used their powerful personal abilities to support the Lakers' offense.
On the other side, Liu Xiu scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, leading the Trail Blazers to 32 points!
After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by 17 points 66 to 49!
Although still lost 1 point, but in this quarter, Kobe, Deron, and David West created time for Zen Master to think.
In the second quarter, the Zen master actually had no good way, Kobe took the initiative to adjust and play the triangle offense.
This is the tacit understanding that the two have cooperated for many years.
In the third quarter, Zen Master made adjustments on both offense and defense.
On the offensive end, the offense centered around the perimeter triangle of Odom, Deron, and Kobe has had a considerable impact on the Blazers' unskilled high-speed rotation defense. Some players on the Trail Blazers are not suitable for high-speed rotation. Conversion prevention is also exposed.
The Lakers sent 7 people to rotate in this quarter, 7 of them scored, 5 of them scored 5 points, and the team scored 35 points in a single quarter!
The Lakers also did a good job defensively in this quarter. The Trail Blazers only scored 29 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 11 points!
Liu Xiu scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
There are fewer counterattacks, and the line of passing the ball to the wing is blocked in tactics. He has 3 assists in this quarter, and two of them are obtained by singles.
But at the end of the quarter, the Lakers, which had played two consecutive high-intensity offenses, collapsed. The team only made 7 of 23 shots, 4 three-pointers and 3 long two-pointers. The Lakers made all 6 free throws in the final quarter and only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
On the Trail Blazers side, the counterattack rushed!
Liu Xiu had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, Ray Allen had 8 points and 2 assists, Zach Randolph had 7 points, Hill had 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and the outlaws had 7 points...
The Trail Blazers scored 30+ points in the final quarter again, scoring 32 points in a single quarter!
Kwame-Brown was supposed to rest for half a quarter and then play again in the final quarter, but he ended up playing again, the game wasted, and he clocked out after three quarters...
Kobe Bryant 38 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, David West 23 points, Deron 15 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, Lamar Odom 9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Wang Zhizhi 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists...The five core performances of the Lakers are all good.
But Liu Xiu made 10 of 19 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 10 rebounds and 4 steals, and a triple-double in the first game!
And after 9 assists, it took more than 3 minutes to get the 10th assist and then rested... At that time, Liu Xiu's style of play, the Lakers didn't even expect that he had 9 assists, it was really a good tactical cooperation , The real opportunity came, and got the 10th assist by counterattack.
The rest of the Trail Blazers, Ray Allen scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 5 of 7 three-pointers, Zach Randolph had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Act 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Hill 9 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Gasol Jr. 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists...
The score was 127 to 104, and the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers by 23 points!
After the final whistle sounded, Kobe looked at the data on the big screen, the Trail Blazers had 31 assists tonight! Only Liu Xiu and Ray Allen scored a full 10 three-pointers tonight!
…
"...Comprehensive score: S, congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 950 healing value."
"A new starting point: ... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 random attribute point, which has been used automatically."
"Congratulations to the host's explosive power increased from 87 to 88."
Victorious in the first match, Liu Xiu is very happy with the opening match of his career so far.
If this matter can be maintained for the entire career, it is quite something to show off.
S-level rating, a good start!
The random attribute is explosive power instead of explosive acceleration, which is a bit of a pity, but it’s okay, it’s not bad if the explosive power reaches the top first.
Liu Xiu felt a little regretful that he failed to fight Sun Yue.
The Lakers trailed by more than ten points in the first quarter. The Lakers have been chasing points and did not give up in the final quarter.
However, after finishing the chores after the game, Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Sun Yue went to the nightclub for a drink and learned that Sun Yue was considered very important in the Lakers.
206 cm, can play point guard, excellent running and jumping ability, good defensive attitude and potential...During the preseason, the Lakers management also invited a magician to give Sun Yue a small talk.
Liu Xiu asked curiously: "Isn't Odom also a tall point guard? Didn't he teach you any experience? Didn't the Lakers ask a magician to teach him?"
Sun Yue replied with a painful expression: "In the beginning, I asked Odom to teach me pass control skills, but the first day of training was Saturday. He saw that it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and remembered that the cartoon was about to start, so he left me and went back to the office. I went to watch cartoons at home, and later I went to the mall to buy paper rolls and snapped up a few discounted high-end steaks... I was in a nightclub at two o'clock in the morning and suddenly remembered that I was teaching me how to play ball that day, so I called me. I was sleeping soundly and was woken up, and I had a fight with him... That's why the boss hired a magician."
"... Such an interesting teammate, if only I had one." Liu Xiu replied after being speechless for two seconds.
Wang Zhizhi, who didn't talk much, interjected at this time: "Do you think he is interesting? You are greedy for his strength!
You guys are good enough. Your new tactics remind me of the Spurs. You and Ray Allen made 10 three-pointers... No, you guys are scarier than the Spurs. Their defense is terrible Wouldn't be better without you..."
Three-pointers and defense, these two points in the Blazers' opening game, even Wang Zhizhi couldn't help complaining about them. The next morning, Liu Xiu saw these topics on the news about their Blazers.
He won the triple-double in the first game of the new season, and he was praised again. He won.
Then there was the fact that he and Ray Allen made 10 three-pointers together.
Then there's their defensive performance.
The offense of the Lakers is not bad. Last season, the offense was ranked in the top five in the league. Last night's game was not bad. They scored 66 points in the second and third quarters, but they were only defended in the first and last quarters. Scored 18 points and 20 points... The Trail Blazers' defensive end in the first game of the new season is no less amazing than Liu Xiu and Ray Allen who scored 10 three-pointers and the team scored 17 three-pointers in a single game.
Mustache's system, it's normal to shoot well three-pointers, and it's surprising to be good at defense.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team, and another night passed. On November 1st, a new month came.
At 8:58 in the morning, Liu Xiu came to the meeting room of the Willamedy Garden Training Center. His teammates arrived before him. He greeted his teammates and sat down in the empty seat next to Randolph.
Randolph complained: "It is said that it is two days of rest. Yesterday morning, I caught up with sleep, flew in the afternoon, and today I am preparing for training... It means that I have no rest for a day."
Hill on the side laughed and said, "If you don't arrange the employees' rest time to work, are you still called a capitalist?"
Liu Xiu echoed: "Yes, our treatment is not as good as that of Geneva prisoners of war."
Hill was just joking with a smile, but he really laughed out loud when he heard this.
But the teammates around were all confused, or laughed when they didn't understand.
The extrajudicial fanatic asked directly: "Geneva prisoners of war? Are they treated well? By the way, what is Geneva?"
Liu Xiu: "..."
He forgot that it is fundamental for NBA players to be uneducated... Yes, he is also uneducated, and he doesn't know the specific content of any Geneva conventions.
But Hill knew, and he briefly explained it to his teammates.
After a while, the coaches arrive and the meeting begins.
Today's preparation training is to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Spurs, but the content of the meeting is mainly to analyze the game against the Lakers the day before yesterday.
When Liu Xiu made 17 three-pointers, when he checked the news and browsed the forums, he saw that the media and fans either praised Mustache for his high three-pointer accomplishments, or praised him for his great three-pointer progress.
But what I heard from the coach now is that after the three-point shot is made, the positional battle around the three-pointer is interspersed with running positions, and the details of the attacking basket during the counterattack.
Basket scoring and mid-range shots account for more scoring areas.
The day before yesterday they scored 17 three-pointers, which was a lot, but the three-pointers scored 51 points, which only accounted for 40% of their total points the day before yesterday.
And it is impossible for them to make so many three-pointers every game. It is normal for him and Ray Allen to miss two three-pointers each, and it is normal for teammates to miss 1-2 three-pointers.
After the analysis, the vice president came out to be the villain, emphasizing that their offensive cooperation details are not good enough, there are still many areas to be improved, etc... Then, they praised their progress on the defensive end.
Liu Xiu is used to the operation of the vice president.
When polishing the defense, the players need to be encouraged and motivated.
When polishing the offense, sometimes it is necessary to deliberately suppress the impetuous emotions of the players.
Suppress first, then encourage, similar to slapping a sweet date.
…
On November 2, the Trail Blazers will face the Spurs at home tonight.
This game has attracted a lot of attention, and people are curious, who has a stronger offense, the Spurs or the Trail Blazers?
When this topic first came out, old fans felt as if they had passed away.
Back to the 2006-07 season, who would dare to believe that the Spurs and Trail Blazers would become the candidates for the 'League's Strongest Offensive Team'?
That season, both teams were still Jagged.
This season, the Trail Blazers and Spurs were used to compete with the Lakers and Nuggets for the "Strongest Offensive Team".
The Trail Blazers scored 127 points in the first game. The Spurs completely abandoned Bowen. Bowen has been in the Spurs for the past 7 seasons. As long as he is not injured, he has never played as a substitute. Played 30 minutes. Bowen came off the bench the day before yesterday and only played 11 minutes.
Bowen, who has no running ability, was accused of slowing down in the regular season last season. Although he shot a career-high 45% three-point shooting percentage, but with him on the court, the Spurs' offensive efficiency declined instead.
The playoffs are regarded by the Warriors as a breakthrough on the defensive end.
According to the analysis of ESPN expert Hollinger, Bowen's actual defensive level last season should be at the first defense level.
Bowen was 36 years old last season and 37 years old this season. He is not injured or sick, and he can't fall too much... That is, he was really given up by Popovich at the tactical level.
Is this the tear of the times?
In addition to changing the style of play, the Spurs abandoned Bowen for other reasons.
The Spurs have done a lot this summer. In the draft, they selected George Hill, who is still capable of fighting immediately, dug Roger Mason from the Wizards for $7.28 million in two years, and renewed Amy Udoka.
With Mason and Udoka renewing his contract, as long as these two are used normally, Bowen really doesn't have much playing time.
But Liu Xiu thinks the best move for the Spurs during the offseason is to sign Kurt Thomas for $8 million in two years.
Tim-Thomas and Kurt-Thomas, the villains, any one of them can make the team full of resilience. The Suns were so strong in the 2007 playoffs because they had Double Thomas.
The Bulls sent the first-round pick to get a premium contract from Tim Thomas, and because of this, in the series between the Bulls and the Pistons in the playoffs last season, the Bulls became Pierce alone in despair. solo...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Spurs at home.
The Trail Blazers had good news before the game-Ginobili was injured in the opener and had to miss at least two weeks.
The Spurs' starting lineup tonight: Parker, Finley, Roger Mason, Matt Bonner, Duncan.
Trail Blazers starting lineup: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.
After the game started, the Spurs' defense looked better than the lineup!
Looking at the lineup, Bonner also has the advantages of not being disadvantaged in confrontation, bravery, and listening to arrangements; Parker is a hindrance; Finley is at best not a hindrance.
Only Roger Mason and Duncan are strong defensively.
But the Spurs' defense is extreme!
Use speed to defend three-pointers, shrink the basket, make up if you can make up for the middle distance, and pull if you can't make up.
Liu Xiu was quite impressed with this defense.
In the original time and space, the Mavericks in the 13-14 season were nicknamed the "true runner-up" because the Mavericks were the only team that could drag the Spurs to the tiebreaker in the playoffs of that season. Only won 1 game against the Spurs.
Because the Mavericks made good mid-range shots, Ellis, Carter, and Nowitzki, the three major mid-range shot masters, almost beat the Spurs to eight.
For the Spurs in this time and space, the mid-range is still a big problem, because the mid-range shots are mainly singles.
But tonight the Spurs defended well in the opening stage!
The Spurs' defense is very restrained from the Blazers' interspersed running tactics around three-pointers.
In the first quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 6 points 27 to 21!
In the entire first quarter, the Trail Blazers only made 4 three-pointers and scored 1 goal.
During the holiday break, Liu Xiu took the initiative to apply for the West Coast mode. The coach thought about it and accepted the suggestion.
In another two or three months, after the tactical system is gradually improved, they will play against the Spurs. When encountering such a defense, Maurice Cheeks will try to adapt from a tactical perspective.
But now, it is obvious that there is no other way to ask for hard steel?
Building a tactical system doesn’t mean that the more frustrated you become, the more frustrated you will be, it will affect the players’ confidence in the new system.
However, it is different from the West Coast style of play in previous years. After receiving the instructions from the coach, Mustache began to turn his head to think about tactics...
He really wanted to give up, but what about the easy $5 million annual salary he agreed to?
It's not easy at all!
However, when he picked up the tactical board, he felt the warden's expectant eyes...
The most talented player in history, comparable to the trust of the Sharks' dynasty builder!
Mustache: Overtime makes me happy! I like working overtime!ヾ(°°)
