Chapter 341 341. The advantage is mine!

When the Sonics attack, Ray Allen breaks through and passes the ball. Daniels receives the ball and passes it to Radmanovic. Radmanovic passes the ball again. Ray Allen uses the screen to run to the sideline to catch the ball and turns around.

Three-point shot...hit!

Ray Allen scored 5 points in a row to help the SuperSonics close the score, trailing the Trail Blazers by 4 points at 8-12.

In the first month, he defeated the Spurs 113-94, the Nets 102-99, the Pacers 103-95, and only lost 110-112 against the Suns. Ray Allen's peak season as a personal leader,

It was indeed difficult to deal with. Liu Xiu originally hoped to establish a clear lead in the opening stage, but the two rounds were paused to allow him to calm down.

Play slowly, don't rush, the opponent's lineup rotation has been disrupted, and there are still more favorable conditions for the Trail Blazers. What he, the warden, has to do is to better support or take over the blame under the opponent's defense.

Spend it first, anyway, the advantage is mine...

Suddenly, the system prompt came!

"The mountains never get too high, the sea never gets too deep, the Duke of Zhou spits out food, and the world returns to its heart. I am the warden series of missions: the advantage is triggered by me."

"The advantage is mine:

Goal 1: The host must score higher than Ray Allen in the first quarter.

Goal 2: The host cannot hit less three-pointers than Ray Allen in this game.

Goal 3: Win.

Reward: Expanded training method for pull-up jump shots (Ray Allen version)."

The mission suddenly came, and once he got used to it, the reward was exactly what he wanted, the expansion of emergency stop jump shooting skills, the perfect reward.

But this task is too difficult!

Being a lazy guy, Liu Xiu made a fuss and then immediately thought about how to complete the task instead of complaining, just like when Ray Allen scored 5 points in a row and he made the decision to play hard.

Liu Xiu had a problem and ran to the front court to ask for the ball from Payton. Payton immediately passed it. This scene made a certain No. 8 player in front of the TV who did not want to be named feel very unhappy - Pass the ball to me last year.

I have never seen you so happy!

Liu Xiu took two steps away from Ray Allen's defense and stayed away from the three-point line. Payton did not press forward and stayed half a step inside the three-point line.

Liu Xiu said loudly to his teammates: "Kwame, come out and give me a pick-and-roll. Butcher and Bishop, you rush to grab the ball. The opponent's center is slow. I will throw a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll!"

After speaking, Liu Xiu approached the three-point line again.

Can this kind of clumsy trick deceive us? The Sonics players don’t believe it.

Ray Allen carefully guarded Liu Xiu... Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll was really coming!

Liu Xiu quickly pulled through Kwame Brown's solid pick-and-roll screen. Reggie Evans, who switched defenses and expanded, guarded a big step inside the three-point line to prevent Liu Xiu from breaking through... Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll was really

Just throw it away!

The ball was thrown right! It was just a little bit stronger. The ball hit the inside of the basket. Jerome James under the basket struggled to block the rushing Rahim and Randolph, but the ball turned around on the basket.

After the circle, it fell into the frame.

“What about trust between people?”

Liu Xiu sighed loudly and retreated.

You got a bargain but behaved! The Sonics players provided healing value to the Warden.

When the cured Sonics players ran to the frontcourt, they heard Liu Xiu instructing his teammates to defend: "Keep your gloves close to Lei, don't let him have a chance to shoot. When everyone encounters Lei, use the cover to cover, give priority to

Guard him! Guard him, and the rest of the Sonics team can’t!"

Payton likes this defensive arrangement! He is not so calm when playing against his old team and always thinks of radical ways.

But the Sonics players don’t like hearing this! Who are they looking down on?

While providing healing value to the Warden, the Sonics launched an attack.

Ray Allen didn't quite believe that the Blazers players would actually carry out Warden's outrageous orders... and they would actually carry them out!

Ray Allen broke through with the ball and was flanked. Raheem came up from the left flank. Ray Allen was forced to stop and passed to Radmanovic. Liu Xiu immediately made up for it and Radmanovic caught it.

Vic took off and was affected by Liu Xiu's confrontation and did not mess around. He gave the ball to Daniels who was vacated in the bottom corner. Daniels did not have a three-pointer. He chose to rush from the baseline and made an emergency stop at close range on the left side of the three-second zone for a jump shot... temporarily added.

He leaned back and narrowly avoided Kwame Brown's defense and threw the ball in.

They scored consecutively and successfully held on to the score, but the SuperSonics' current feeling was similar to that at the beginning when Lewis was called upon, and their hearts beat loudly.

I can’t even understand this opponent!

In the early stages, the Trail Blazers used Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, Randolph and Raheem's singles, and stared at Lewis alone, giving the Sonics the feeling that this is a team with extremely strong tactical execution.

Why did such a strong team suddenly play so outrageously... But then I thought about it, the warden's teammates still carried out such outrageous orders. Doesn't this better illustrate the opponent's strong tactical execution?

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu went to the frontcourt and took a big step away from the three-point line to receive Payton's pass and start the attack.

Here it comes! The Sonics players were waiting for Liu Xiu to speak... and he actually did!

"Kwame came out to pick and roll me. Bishop and Butcher were ready to grab the board. I... wasn't sure whether I wanted to shoot a three-pointer or break through."

The rebounding idiot who is about to switch defense:????

After waiting for a long time, you said, "You're not sure how you want to fight? You're just kidding me!"

With Liu Xiu's operation, the Sonics players provided another wave of healing value, with Reggie Evans providing the most.

Liu Xiu started a pick-and-roll attack, and Reggie Evans expanded out this time. Liu Xiu chose to break through. Reggie Evans made the right choice, but when he defended the pick-and-roll breakthrough, he only had to face confrontation. Liu Xiu was least afraid of it.

The only thing is to fight and break into the inside line smoothly.

Radmanovic on the wing came over to defend, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Rahim, and Ray Allen promptly switched defense to cover Rahim. However, Rahim did not catch the ball and shoot, but chose to break inside. Ray Allen

- Allen couldn't stop him. Jerome James moved to the right side of the three-second area. Raheem passed the ball back to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu missed the jump shot from the left side of the free throw line, but Randolph was able to take it back.

Radmanovic made a tip-in before!

The score was 17 to 10, and the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 7 points.

When the Sonics attacked, Liu Xiu continued to ask his teammates to focus their perimeter defense on Ray Allen, leaving the basket to Kwame Brown.

The Sonics made timely adjustments and took advantage of the opportunity created by Ray Allen's tight defense. Radmanovic went around the top arc and shot a three-pointer... but missed!

As usual, the icing on the cake Radmanovic did a great job, but let him take on the heavy responsibility and he was nervous! His hands were shaking!

Randolph and Kwame Brown worked hard to block the boards, and Randolph grabbed the rebound before Reggie Evans.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu continued to announce in a high-profile manner how he was going to play, and then Kwame Brown launched a pick-and-roll attack.

It's pretty much the same thing. If you continue to play successfully, the Sonics can guess it.

But if Liu Xiu says it, the Sonics will contribute a lot of healing value.

This opportunity came to Payton, but unfortunately Payton didn't make the shot, but! Randolph grabbed another offensive rebound!

Reggie Evans was taken out by the pick-and-roll of Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown! Jerome James is hard to beat with four hands!

However, Jerome James actively took it back and covered Randolph who grabbed the rebound. Randolph looked for his teammates, and sure enough he saw the familiar figure and passed the ball over.

Liu Xiu went around to the left side of the three-second zone, caught the ball and hit a jumper from close range!

The offense and defense transitioned, the Sonics attacked, and the opportunity appeared again for Radmanovic, but Radmanovic's hands were shaking again! Missed!

Randolph grabbed a defensive rebound.

This time, the Sonics discovered the key reason for the widening of the point difference - defensive rebound protection!

The SuperSonics also have a rebounding expert. Reggie Evans averaged 23 minutes per game and got 9 rebounds. He ranked first in the league in rebounding efficiency and no one could beat him. However, they did not do a good job in rebound protection because

Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll took Reggie Evans out!

How to circumvent this?

When Liu Xiu yelled for Kwame Brown to pick and roll, Jerome James was directed by his smart frontcourt teammates Radmanovic and Reggie Evans to defend Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown's pick and roll.

Jerome James, who is 216 centimeters tall and 123 kilograms, went out to defend pick-and-rolls. He himself felt it was unreliable, but he still went out. A defensive center who follows orders is more valuable.

When Ray Allen saw that it was Jerome James who was extending out to defend the pick-and-roll, he stopped in his tracks to move to the wing to cover the defense.

Jerome James couldn't even confront Liu Xiu in the pick-and-roll to delay Liu Xiu's start, and was directly avoided by Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu rushed all the way to the basket, jumped against Reggie Evans, and hit a layup during the confrontation! The SuperSonics called a timeout!

The Sonics were stopped again!

Ray Allen walked to the bench in silence, thinking to himself that without him, the others are really nothing?

Radmanovic's gun is too unreliable. When he needs to score a goal to chase points, it will misfire!

There are also independent adjustments on the court. The handsome second-year boy has made good use of his team's advantages. Let's look at his teammates' on-the-spot adjustments and let Jerome James defend the pick-and-roll. This is what people think

The way out?

…

21 to 10, the team leads by 11 points.

8 to 5, personal score lead by 3 points.

The three-point field goals were tied at 1-1.

The three mission goals go hand in hand!

The overall difficulty of the task was high, so Liu Xiu took it apart and analyzed it one by one, and implemented it into adjustments to his playing style.

This kind of adjustment relies heavily on personal ability, and of course it relies even more on the strength of teammates.

Last season he would not have chosen to make adjustments in this area because he was not strong enough personally. Not to mention balancing personal data and winning games, he was not sure whether his personal data could compete with top scorers.

But things are different now. Although there are risks, it is possible to balance personal data and winning, so of course you have to give it a try!
