Liu Xiu immediately understood why the opponent did not double-team.

Spandinha is similar to Medvedenko. They are both traditional European centers. They are good at everything and are a good containment point.

Randolph, in last year's playoffs, the Mavericks played very hard in the paint. The Mavericks almost overturned a 3-0 lead. If it were not for the Trail Blazers, Randolph's performance in the playoffs last season would have been touted as a power forward position.

O'Neill.

Reuben Patterson is an excellent high-post spot-up shooter; Travis Outlaw has extremely good athletic ability and can cut into the front line with a keen sense of smell.

If Liu Xiu can attract flankers in the low post, the Blazers may be able to smoothen their offense.

The Lakers have already learned this, so the Lakers chose to use attrition tactics against him.

With his size and energy, he looks like a rookie who is exhausted... most rookies don't do a good job of distributing physical strength.

This speculation was a bit unbelievable to him. He was just a rookie. Why would the other party target this point in his mind?

Precisely because it was incredible, Liu Xiu did not expect this possibility at first.

But after he figured it out, he wasn't surprised.

Championship teams are always different.

The Lakers always do an excellent job in many details, killing many possibilities of their opponents... A rookie substitute can make such targeted adjustments to the opponent. Liu Xiu feels that this may be the reason why the Lakers can

One of the reasons for completing three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century!

These thoughts flashed through Liu Xiu's mind. He felt that the Lakers were really powerful, but...

Who let the Lakers have Kobe?

If another opponent had done this, it would have taken Liu Xiubei several rounds to react, and his game would have collapsed.

However, he is here now not because his physical strength has declined and he reflects the opponent's defensive strategy, but because Fisher has provided a wave of violent healing value of 99...

Keep hitting back!

The copied Kobe Bryant’s ‘physical surge’ showed a powerful effect!

As Liu Xiu analyzed, the Lakers really wanted to consume his energy.

Fisher takes on heavy responsibilities and is very confident. Considering that he is 185 centimeters tall and 91 kilograms in weight, he has considerable strength for the same size, plus excellent low-post defensive skills. Even if Liu Xiu looks like a low-post singles master, Fisher

I also felt that I could at least exert a huge drain on Liu Xiu after a few rounds.

but……

Liu Xiu once again made a strong attack, turned around and took a step to avoid Malone's defense, and hit a backhand layup!

If Malone had been faster this time, he would have been able to limit Liu Xiu's turn, but Malone chose to take care of Randolph's mid-range shot first, and then retracted when Liu Xiu turned around and failed to pass to Randolph's perspective.

, for Liu Xiu, whose post-playing skills have reached an excellent level, and Randolph's post-playing talent has increased his layup ability to 92, it is equivalent to ineffective defense!

Not only that, Fisher failed to stop Liu Xiu and turned around to pull Liu Xiu. The referee's whistle came a little late, but it still sounded.

Liu Xiu's goal is valid and there will be an additional penalty!

As Liu Xiu made a free throw, 64 to 62, the Trail Blazers overtook the Lakers by 2 points, and the Zen Master called a timeout!

Both teams regarded this game as a very important one - a matter of face.

No one on both sides expected the current situation.

It doesn't matter that the Trail Blazers can go ahead. The game is just like that. If one side throws three-pointers and scores three or four in a row, the situation of the game with a big score difference can be reversed. Kobe did this before, only 2

With the score difference, it is not surprising that the Trail Blazers took the lead.

But Liu Xiu hit a wave of 9 to 5 on his own, which was a surprise to the Trail Blazers!

The Lakers were caught off guard. They thought that their attrition tactics against Liu Xiu were an unexpected sign of their attention to the rookie.

As a result, Liu Xiu was able to score in four consecutive rounds against Fisher!

Payton has proven that relying on skills to beat Fisher from behind is not a good option. It is feasible to rely on strength to beat Fisher alive. But what the entire league can do, only Andre Miller can do it last season... a rookie can actually do it.

It’s here! And he’s eating it continuously!

…

At first, when Liu Xiu first came on the court, although the fans at the scene were very excited, it had nothing to do with basketball. It was just because Liu Xiu hugged and threw O'Neal, and the fans at the scene were happy to watch.

The Lakers players feel like they are just tough guys with strong physiques.

But Liu Xiu's total playing time of about 9 minutes made everyone present realize that this rookie can also play ball.

He looks ordinary, and his physical fitness is nothing special... Mainly because he has no running and jumping ability, and his skills are very simple.

But on the court, he can play a very strong role!

The home team fans at the scene became very interested in their rookie at this moment after Liu Xiu's back-up attack.

After the timeout, Liu Xiu continued to play for the Trail Blazers, and the combination of Wesley Persson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Dale Davis was replaced.

When he first came on the field and saw the opponent's rotation lineup, Liu Xiu saw the task completion prompt floating in front of his eyes. He had a visual feeling of "floating by", but in fact he knew the completed content all at once.

“My last name is Liu: Let Kobe Bryant remember your name!

Goal 1: Starting from the third quarter when the host comes on the court, when the host and Kobe Bryant are on the court at the same time, the host's score reaches at least half of Kobe Bryant's score. (The host 9 points, Kobe Bryant 5 points

,completed.)

Goal 2: Prevent Kobe Bryant from widening the point difference. (Completed, leading by 2 points.)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1,000 healing points."

The difficulty of the task is not particularly high, and the rewards are not particularly large. It is completed. Liu Xiu is still a little surprised. The main surprise is that the opponent actually replaced Kobe at this time!

Jackson replaced Kobe and O'Neal was not replaced. A few years ago, he gave up the rhythm of the game.

But now, with the OK combination gone, the Lakers still cannot be underestimated!

Jackson sent a combination of Payton, Kareem Rush, Devin George, Malone, and Horace Grant to play.

Looking at Payton waiting to receive the serve, Liu Xiu was a little excited.

Although I am not very good at it and I know it well, I am always very excited to play against those famous and established superstars.

It's a pity that Liu Xiu couldn't get the upper hand against Kobe, but he can get the upper hand against Payton!

At this time, the system prompt came again!

"Task: My surname is Liu. The advanced target is triggered."

"My surname is Liu:

Advanced goal: The host needs to help the Trail Blazers win this game.

Advanced reward: Double the basic reward.”

'Oh! I'm so lucky. If the old fish next door didn't foul me just now and I didn't make the penalty kick, it would be a big loss...'

Liu Xiu didn't think about losing now, he just thought about how to win.

His strong fighting spirit easily infected his teammates.

The Trail Blazers players, no matter what they do off the court, as long as they are on the court, everyone wants to win.

The environment of their team is like this. If you perform well on the court and help the team win, you will get more opportunities.

The opponent must not have given up, otherwise Payton and Malone would not have been replaced. Watching Payton receive the serve and advance...' Let the two veterans, Payton and Malone, help Kobe and O'Neal reduce consumption, and let the two come.

To carry through some anxious stages?'

Liu Xiu felt that Master Zen was a bit ruthless, squeezing two unfamiliar veteran superstars like this.

However, even though Payton is 35 years old and Malone is 40 years old, the pressure they bring to their opponents is still huge.

The Lakers started to attack, and Payton advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Kareem Rush.

Malone did a good job of containing the interior defense in the low post. Payton backed up Liu Xiu in the high post and received the return pass for a post-up single.

Back play, turn over, jump shot... hit!

Payton came up and gave Liu Xiu a positive response!

"Gary Payton, 35 years old, PG, 193 cm, 82 kg, ability evaluation 87..."

The score is tied at 64!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Trail Blazers attack, Liu Xiu receives the serve, and Payton presses the whole court!

"Oh, rookie, seeing how young you are, it's not just female celebrities who like you, right? I heard that there are many men in Portland who like men?"

"Thank you for reminding me, old man. I will avoid them, but why do you know so well, old man? Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally poked your wound."

Payton was furious. Today he faced a rookie and wanted to show off his veteran style and engage in some trash talk. But the opponent was no worse than him in this regard! And he was very courageous. It can only be said that he dared to hug and throw O'Neal.

Rookie?

Payton did not continue to talk trash and chose more oppressive defensive actions.

Liu Xiu was not frightened by Payton's extremely oppressive defense. Payton's strength was unexpectedly strong, unlike someone who weighed more than 80 kilograms, but Liu Xiu was able to hold it, and Liu Xiu did not rush forward quickly.

It is to steadily protect the ball and move towards the frontcourt.
To be continued...
