357. General’s tactics

Liu Xiu heard the vice president mention before that the team might trade Dale Davis for Fisher.

The old fish next door is a bit scary, but he is currently in his prime and his strength is online, and it is enough not to invite him to his home. If the real deal comes back, Liu Xiu can accept it.

But as Liu Xiu expected, even though the Trail Blazers were willing to take a mid-level contract to match the salary while acquiring Fisher, and the Warriors could free up $10 million in space next summer, the Warriors still did not agree to the trade.

.

It can be seen from last night's game that Fisher is the only one among the three main point guards who can make Jason Richardson play better. The other two point guards partner with Jason Richardson.

They are all taking turns to play singles. It is normal for the deal to fall apart. The Warriors probably also want to send Van Exel or Speedy Claxton to the Trail Blazers.

The vice president told Liu Xiu that the deal was broken, mainly to let him play with peace of mind. Even if there are trade negotiations in the past few days, the deal will not be completed before the Christmas war is over.

The team still has a sense of humanity. It has been negotiating with the Warriors for some time, and the two sides have been dragging their hands until now. Christmas is coming soon, although superstars like Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan and other superstars may be tired of the Christmas war.

But for most players, the opportunity is very rare.

…

The Trail Blazers pay special attention to the game against the SuperSonics.

Currently, the Trail Blazers have 18 wins and 6 losses, and the SuperSonics have 18 wins and 7 losses. The competition for first place in the Northwest Division is very fierce.

The day's preparation time passed quickly, and at 6:10 in the evening on December 21, the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena one after another.

Playing against an opponent of equal strength is always extremely exciting.

There's good news for the Trail Blazers tonight, the Outlaws are cleared to play!

Liu Xiu felt that talent is really a cruel thing. The outlaw was the one with the more serious injuries. He was the one who was misdiagnosed as having stretched knee bones and muscles. As a result, the outlaw's injury healed first, and the injury was more serious.

The young Brazilian actor is still in the observation period.

After the coach made the final arrangements before the game, the game was about to start, and Liu Xiu received a prompt to copy the talent.

"The great magician..."

Teammate, Liu Xiu chose to copy Little Flying Squirrel tonight. The offensive ability of the Sonics can be improved a little bit, especially after the return of the outlaws. The team's counterattack ability has greatly improved. The opponent, naturally chooses Ray Allen.

really!

“…

Opponent: Ray Allen, matching degree 45%, because the host has learned Ray Allen's emergency stop jumper training method, matching degree bonus is 15%, total matching degree is 60%, characteristic transformation talent: quick throw, bonus effect:

The shooting speed is increased by 10%, and the catching and shooting speed is increased by an additional 10%, both of which have adaptive effects."

The description of this talent is the simplest among the talents Liu Xiu has copied, but the effect is definitely not weak! The speed of catching and shooting is increased by 20%!

If you think about how much time top shooters have to practice to improve their shooting speed by 0.1 seconds, you will know how powerful this talent is.

Liu Xiudu felt that his shooting ability was not worthy of such a good talent...it didn't matter, what mattered was his great talent. He came to the technical table excitedly to apply magnesium powder. By coincidence, Ray Allen came to apply powder at the same time.

Magnesium powder.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu felt his heart beat faster.

Sure enough, Ray Allen spoke again!

"When practicing running, catching and shooting, you can't think about how amazing the running is, you can't take the surprising opportunity as the premise of running, and you can't challenge the passing ability of your teammates. The more ordinary the running, the better.

, it’s better to be so ordinary that any teammate can pass the ball to you when you have a chance. Not everyone can pass the ball like Payton.”

After Ray Allen finished speaking, he turned around and went on the court.

The warden classmate wanted to ask questions today, but Mr. Ye Ye didn't give him a chance. He could only look at Mr. Ye Ye's back and say "thank you."

…

The Trail Blazers sent out a starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

The SuperSonics sent out a starting combination of Ridnour, Ray Allen, Radmanovic, Lewis, and Nick Collison.

At 6:30 in the evening, the game started.

Kwame Brown easily knocked the ball away from Nick Collison, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

Payton advanced to the frontcourt and saw Lewis defending Kwame Brown. He passed the ball to Liu Xiu. Kwame Brown immediately ran out to help Liu Xiu block Ray Allen...roll call and start!

Liu Xiu used the cover to break through, but Lewis couldn't stop him. Ridnour, who was flanked by Payton and attacked, was also a beat late, but at least he gave Liu Xiu a counterattack. When Liu Xiu broke into close range, Nick Collison shrank.

In place, Liu Xiu did not pass the ball to Randolph on the wing. He took off against Nick Collison who was blocking him, and during the confrontation, he pushed the ball towards the basket...hit!

The BUFF "General" is very useful against Lewis. After the pick-and-roll, he goes straight to the basket and reaches 95 for a top-notch layup. It feels silky and soft.

Ray Allen, Ridnour, Lewis, and Nick Collison collectively cursed.

Therefore, the ski man who was not involved in the defense did not have an intuitive feeling... It would be difficult for Radmanovic to see how the defense felt while watching the game.

The experience of the last match made the Sonics give up trying to play a slow-paced positional battle with the Trail Blazers on offense and defense. It would be unwise to play short-term and long-term.

The Sonics chose to stick to the offensive basketball of the Three Musketeers this time. They acknowledged that Lewis was called out, but admitting it did not mean that they would not make adjustments. They refused to let Raheem or Randolph directly attack the frame and provide pick-and-rolls.

The only way the offense can use screens is to create mismatches, Liu Xiu's opportunity.

And on this basis, there is follow-up defense. Ridnour and Nick Collison also provide supplementary defense. They would rather give Randolph or Payton a chance to shoot from a long distance, but also restrict Liu Xiu from attacking the frame after the pick-and-roll.

The Sonics' defense advanced step by step with clear goals...and then was shattered to pieces by Liu Xiu's impact.

During the transition between offense and defense, Ridnour received the serve very smoothly and was not affected by Liu Xiu's attack just now. Although he was scolded, he was not particularly surprised. With Warden's talent, he was ranked next to him in the same draft.

The more recognition, the more recognition.

After Ridnour came to the frontcourt, he started a pick-and-roll attack with Nick Collison, and the three major pitchers of the Sonics began to move.

Radmanovic and Ray Allen cooperated with off-ball coverage, Ray Allen pulled to the three-point line, and Radmanovic moved to the high post.

Rahim, who was guarding Radmanovic, rushed toward Ray Allen and cut off Ray Allen's space to receive the ball. However, Payton did not block Radmanovic's pass and ball, but closed the three-second zone.

On the left sideline, he and Liu Xiu flanked Nick Collison!

Kwame Brown switched to guard Ridnour and defended it quite well. When Ridnour passed the ball to Nick Collison, Payton just rushed up and almost completed the steal.

Nick Collison reacted very quickly. He stopped his feet and turned his back to Payton to protect the ball. He passed the ball to Radmanovic in the high position. As soon as Radmanovic received the ball, he saw Liu Xiu rushing toward him.

Going up, Radmanovic, who wanted to provide support, was worried about being caught by Liu Xiu, so he pounced on Liu Xiu and took a two-point shot... but missed!

Payton defends the defensive rebound!

"Vladimir Radmanovic, 24 years old, 208 cm, 103 kg, SF/PF, ability evaluation 78, offense 83, defense 71, three-pointer 89, mid-range shot 79, layup 84...

Averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game...

The shooting percentage was 40.9%; the three-point shooting percentage was 39.1%, averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game; the long two-point shooting percentage was 35.1%..."

The Sonics have a response to the Trail Blazers' roll call tactics, and the Trail Blazers also have a response to the Sonics' three Musketeers tactics.

Block three-pointers, prevent cuts, and quickly rotate to make up mid-range shots. There are also detailed choices, such as letting Radmanovic's long two-point shot go.

Both teams implemented defensive strategies. The difference was that the Trail Blazers implemented the defensive strategy successfully, while the Sonics also implemented it well, but they could not guard against Liu Xiu!

In the transition between offense and defense, Payton grabbed the rebound and pushed forward to the frontcourt at the right pace.

There was a possibility of switching offense and defense just now, but Payton didn't play that way. Comparing the current lineups of the two sides, the Sonics would want to play faster and have veteran experience - choose a more favorable rhythm.

The Sonics retreated in place. Payton came outside the three-point line and passed the ball to Liu Xiu. Kwame Brown pulled out to help Liu Xiu in the pick-and-roll.

This time, Lewis did not press out to defend, but stayed a big step inside the three-point line to prevent a breakthrough. Liu Xiu took advantage of the screen and did not shoot directly. He moved to the right to avoid Lewis' breakthrough!

When Ray Allen was blocked, his defensive strategy of retreating around the top line and chasing him from behind failed. Liu Xiu used the BUFF bonus of 'General', with a speed +3, and rushed to the right avoiding Lewis and Ridnour, who was coming up to defend.

Take a step forward from the mid-range position at a 45-degree angle to the side, take off from the free throw line at a 30-degree angle on the right side, turn around and shoot the mid-range shot...

Lewis rushed forward with all his strength, but his hand only touched the air. Liu Xiu's ball had already flown out from where Lewis waved half a second ago and fell into the frame!

The 10% shooting speed bonus of ‘Talent: Quick Shooting’ plays a decisive role!

In the last match, Liu Xiu made a similar breakthrough and made a mid-range shot. Lewis was able to follow up and successfully interfered, so Liu Xiu failed to make the shot.

How long has it been since then? Two weeks! I can’t help it anymore!

The progressive defense couldn't stop it, nor could Lewis and Ray Allen's small-scale cooperative defensive plan!

When the Sonics attacked, the Trail Blazers continued to implement their defensive strategy. The three Musketeers did not move, but chose to open up, contain Payton, Raheem, and Randolph, and let Ridnour and Nick-

Collison played a pick-and-roll offense against Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown.

Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown switched defenses, and Nick Collison broke up and cut in to take Liu Xiu away.

When guarding against pick-and-rolls, Kwame Brown could keep up with the pace on the outside, was not easy to take off, and was tall enough... Ridnour's only way was to get rid of the defense by breaking into the inside and sprinting long distances, so he once again chose to pass to Nick Collison, thinking

There's going to be a high blow... but it's intercepted!

What Liu Xiu was waiting for was the moment when Ridnour passed the ball. Liu Xiu, who was retreating to the inside with Nick Collison's support, suddenly pressed on him. Nick Collison was caught off guard. Liu Xiu went around to steal and counterattack!

‘Talent: Flying Squirrel’ is triggered, speed +3.

Liu Xiu rushed to the opposite side, but only Ray Allen retreated. Liu Xiu stepped aside and hit Ray Allen for a layup!

The referee's whistle sounded. It wasn't a foul, but the Sonics called a timeout!
Chapter completed!
