The acting was so poor that even high school students could tell that the other party was acting too hard.

No one can tell that Liu Xiu learned his back hitting from Randolph...

But when he saw it, Chandler became even more angry!

Hinrich was equally angry, but calmly patted Chandler on the arm.

Chandler looked at Hinrich's stern expression, calmed down, picked up the ball, served, and ran forward.

Liu Xiu, who retreated, looked at the small actions of the two geniuses on the opposite side and estimated that the trash talk would have no effect in the end... Oh, Hinrich might be more focused...

After two rounds of fighting, Liu Xiu thought of the Kansas leader eight months ago who became more tenacious the more adverse the situation was.

But it doesn't matter, these two have already contributed several rounds of healing value.

When the Bulls attacked, Hinrich continued to play pick-and-roll with Chandler. When Travis Outlaw switched defense, he went straight to the inside.

Liu Xiu and Randolph continued to shrink, and Chandler learned what he had learned and executed it, setting a screen for Kendall Gill.

Kendall Gill ran to the top arc to borrow the pick-and-roll and received the ball. He rushed inside and a road from the middle led directly to the basket. Liu Xiu, Randolph, Spandinha, and Travis Outlaw had a tacit understanding.

’s... got blocked together, Kendall Gill had outstanding vision, and lobbed the ball... Kirk Hinrich caught the ball behind the crowd and hit a layup!

16 to 24, the Bulls held on to the score.

There is nothing Spandinha can do about these outrageous teammates. He is a veteran player from the 1998 class. He is just an ordinary substitute. He was signed for a total of US$1.85 million in two years. His abilities are just like that, and everything is quite satisfactory.

But Randolph, Travis Outlaw, and Matt Carroll all have a lot of room for improvement.

In other games, there are Tianzun, Davis as a hitter, and Kobe as a terminator. The three defensive ends are always directing the movement of their teammates and helping their teammates defend. You can't tell.

When the five of them go to school together...it seems like they need to be taught a lesson.

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched as he took the serve and pushed forward, "I didn't expect that as a rookie, I would need to teach my teammates how to play!"

It was Randolph's turn to attack.

The conversation between the two after the attack in the last round was indeed deliberately intended to stimulate the two opposing geniuses of the same class, but it was also true that Randolph asked Liu Xiu to demonstrate the skill of linking up a back-up shot with a turn-over jump shot.

But it's really inappropriate for Randolph to use Chandler to practice turnaround jumpers. Chandler, who just turned 21 in October, is a defensive genius. Randolph's current level of post-up play and turnaround jumpers, Chandler defended one.

After the round, you will know how to defend against it.

Randolph still missed this shot!

Moreover, Chandler was well prepared to protect the board, and Corey Blount grabbed the defensive rebound before the rushing Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw.

Without further pressing, Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw retreated immediately.

Spandinha made no move to rush for the ball. When Randolph made a move, Spandinha retreated immediately.

Hinrich and Chandler, two geniuses with extremely high defensive talents who would have no problem with the best defensive formation in the future, could tell at a glance that the Trail Blazers' defensive discipline was truly outstanding.

Hinrich received the ball and advanced steadily without any rush.

Kirk Hinrich is strict and meticulous, but not immutable.

On the other side, after retreating from the midline, Liu Xiu shouted to his teammates: "Vladimir doesn't have to leave the basket when we shrink the defense. I'll cover both sides. Travis, you can cover wherever the ball goes!"

The Bulls attacked, and the ball finally came to Chandler. Chandler cut in after a pick-and-roll without the ball from the outside. He held the ball up to receive it without taking it down. He raised the ball high and put the basket up.

The goal was scored, but it was purely because Chandler bullied Spandinha because of his lack of explosive power and his height and wingspan. Spandinha's head was 213 centimeters tall and his wingspan was only 213 centimeters.

But Hinrich felt the changes on the Trail Blazers' defensive end.

It's arbitrary and unexpected, but the core is to seek stability. Warden Liu Xiu.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Randolph ran to the frontcourt and came to the right elbow of the three-second zone, preparing to rush and respond. He acted as a ball-blocker and directed Spandinha to go to the right baseline.

The position one step away from the free throw line on both sides of the baseline is Spandinha's fixed-point mid-range shot area.

The new technology has not been developed yet. Randolph might as well rely on brute force to beat Chandler, so that is unnecessary. It is better to let Liu Xiu practice more on the court.

When Liu Xiu and Travis Outlaw saw Randolph's actions, they knew what their friend meant and immediately started moving.

Liu Xiu hit Hinrich in the low post and turned over for a jump shot... but missed!

Chandler shrank in time to protect the defensive rebound.

In transition, the Bulls attack.

Hinrich continued to play the pick-and-roll with Chandler, cooperating with Kendall Gill's top arc cut to attack the frame.

This was a very good tactical coordination, but the other two teammates did not cooperate well, resulting in a 3-on-5 situation.

This time Randolph blocked the middle, Spandinha guarded the basket, Liu Xiu covered the wings, and Travis Outlaw interfered with the person who made the shot. The defensive strategy was successful!

Randolph blocked the off-ball pick-and-roll and followed up with Chandler. Travis Outlaw jumped high and blocked the shot like a volleyball!

The ball bounced high on the floor and then fell. Liu Xiu withstood Corey Blount and grabbed the ball near the left baseline.

In the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu continued to catch the ball in the low post and attack, Chandler made up the defense, and Liu Xiu passed to the middle.

Travis Outlaw quickly cut in from the center after passing the ball, took off directly after receiving Liu Xiu's return pass, took a big step inside the free throw line, jumped high, and glided and dunked to score two points.

Chandler's defensive ability is certainly very strong, but as soon as he moved to Liu Xiu, when he turned around, Travis Outlaw had already taken off, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

This goal cannot be blamed on Chandler for rashly attacking Liu Xiu. Even if Hinrich has the height advantage, method awareness, and mature basic defensive skills in four years of college, one-on-one defense will not be able to affect Liu Xiu's back-turning jump shot.

.

Liu Xiu didn't make the shot in the last round. It's just that Liu Xiu's basic shooting skills after turning over were not good enough, so he didn't make the shot.

However, even if Liu Xiu's basic skills are not good enough, Liu Xiu's short-range shooting is very good, and Hinrich's one-on-one defense will cause too little defensive interference to Liu Xiu. If Hinrich is allowed to play one-on-one

To guard against Liu Xiu, it was really like watching Liu Xiu practice his back attack on the court.

After testing each other's playing styles for two or three rounds, the two teams each found a suitable playing style.

The Trail Blazers clearly have the upper hand!

Liu Xiu's low-post attack style is very familiar to Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, and Randolph. They even cooperated together in the summer league. Spandinha's teammate

Advantages: I know a little bit about everything, listen to arrangements, and cooperate quite well.

As for the Bulls, their players look very good.

Chandler and Hinrich are the core of this lineup inside and outside. In both sides of the lineup, the strength is online.

Marcus Fizer, the No. 4 pick in the 2000 class.

Corey Blount, a 10-year veteran.

Kendall Gill, No. 5 overall pick in the 1990s.

But Marcus Fizer was stunned. Corey Blount was not good enough and was still 34 years old. Kendall Gill no longer averaged 21+6+4 per game during his peak period 7 years ago.

Top combo guard... After both sides were in good condition, the Trail Blazers had a very clear initiative and highlighted their advantages.

However, no matter what the situation was on the court, the coaches of the two teams did not call a timeout or make substitutions. They just let Liu Xiu and Hinrich command their teammates and let them lead the team.

The Trail Blazers have the advantage in terms of strength, and the Maurice Cheeks lineup is designed to allow the three rookies to practice more.

As for the Bulls, their new coach Scott Scales created opportunities for Hinrich to improve.

Scott Skiles is the Bulls' third head coach this season.

The original head coach of the Bulls was Bill Cartwright, the master of troublemaking, who was once the center of the first dynasty of the Bulls and the No. 3 draft pick of the same class as Magic. There was interim coach Pete Meyers, a long-term employee of the Bulls.

The video editor worked temporarily for two games before finding Scott Scales as the head coach.

After he arrived, he quickly asked the Bulls management to build the team with Hinrich as the core.

The Bulls have already had trade rumors circulating, and everyone except Hinrich is available.

But there is no deal yet, and the old guys are still there. These people will not listen to Hinrich's instructions at all, and they are not as easy to conquer as Chandler.

The current lineup, which is both old and weak and lacks strength, is what Hinrich can command.

Seeing that the Trail Blazers looked down on the Bulls, they sent three rookies to practice together in the backcourt. Scott Skiles would not replace them casually, so he asked Hinrich to practice hard.

When a player weighing 206 centimeters and more than 120 kilograms was paddling on the court, the performance of the two teams was basically like novices pecking each other.

Different from ordinary rookies pecking each other, the two teams still played in a very organized manner. Hinrich is a rookie with a charismatic personality and strong leadership qualities. As the warden, Liu Xiu naturally cannot let the team play chaotically.

The rookies pecking each other are talking about their strength. The scene is still very interesting. Hinrich and Liu Xiu, the two are the main pointers. It still feels like watching the NCAA basketball championship finals, but both of them are stronger than before. Liu Xiu

Show progress much faster.

Moreover, the Blazers, who are young and have better cooperation, have the upper hand. The fans at the scene are happy to see it, cheering and booing...

After the first quarter, the score was 37-26, and the Trail Blazers successfully opened the point difference to more than 10 points.

In this half of the game, the score of 17 to 14 is not important, even if the 8-point difference is tied, it doesn't matter.

Maurice Cheeks saw the improvement in the defensive habits of Randolph and Travis Outlaw in this low-level game!

This is difficult to achieve in higher level competitions.

For higher-level games, coaches will only rotate, adjust and train defensive strategies based on actual conditions, which is impossible.

Moreover, even if the level of competition is not high, it does not mean that you can cultivate it if you want to!

The coach can't direct the players to move every round, right? Only the leader on the court can!

Entering the break, Maurice Cheeks patted Liu Xiu on the back with satisfaction: "Jess, you did a great job. Although you don't have as many assists as the rookie opposite, your role is stronger than him!"

There was nothing wrong with the praise, but when Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately looked at the big screen, which showed his and Hinrich's data.

Hinrich's side had 5 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

Liu Xi remembers that Hinrich had 1 assist in the first half of the quarter, which means he had 4 assists in the second half!

He, Liu Xiu, played more than 5 minutes and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, which was very good, but he only had one assist! It was the assist that passed directly to Travis Outlaw for a gliding dunk. Other offenses, either
Chapter completed!
