Chapter 903 903. The warden is stronger!

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and the defender became Ronnie Brewer.

Regardless of the situation when beating others, every time he meets the warden, Xiaopao first chooses to follow his heart - not to confront the warden head-on.

Finding a way to win is the most important thing.

Carter said it well, basketball is a team game, not one person's heroism.

The speed of giving up the confrontation was much faster than Liu Xiu expected...

Ronnie Brewer's defensive characteristics: active, confrontational, tough, not afraid of being elbowed.

Liu Xiu accelerated from one meter outside the three-point line and made a strong breakthrough!

Liu Xiu smoothly broke into the paint without any surprises. Ronnie Brewer failed to close to Liu Xiu. Kirilenko missed the defense in the middle. Liu Xiu came to the sideline of the three-second zone and grabbed the ball before Chandler could block it.

Throwing shot... hit!

The core defensive trio of Kirilenko, Chandler, and Paul showed no temper when encountering Liu Xiu.

He is fast, strong, and his skills are becoming more and more comprehensive. At the same time, he is also very good at points, and he is very good at using threats that are good at scoring to create other scoring conditions.

When Paul was an opponent, when he saw news attacking Chandler's slow progress, he would also mock him.

But now, he is very upset about why this high school student is progressing so slowly?

If Chandler can have Kirilenko's defensive level, he doesn't need the first-level defense ability of the year, the block leader, or the DPOY favorite. At Kirilenko's level now... Paul suddenly wakes up after receiving the ball.

, seems to be thinking too much.

How could such a big center be exchanged for a borderline All-Star Okur?

Moreover, with him, Kirilenko, and a center with the best defensive level, the opponent has nothing to do, so why does he need to be afraid of the Warden?

If you can't guard it, you can't guard it. It's just the preseason. To gain experience, Paul will advance to the frontcourt. Don't play in isolation for now, let's play pick-and-roll!

Boozer, the pick-and-roll master in the technical flow + support flow, Chandler, the pick-and-roll genius in the impact flow, Kirilenko, the versatile small forward, Ronnie Brewer, who has excellent impact... Paul began to enjoy basketball.

But the Jazz didn't perform particularly well tonight.

The shooting feel was okay, but when faced with the Trail Blazers' all-out defense, the Jazz's offensive tactical coordination was average.

The talent Liu Xiu copied from Paul has the bonus effect of "significantly improving the tacit understanding with teammates who perform pick-and-rolls." However, Paul himself can develop a tacit understanding with teammates who are good at pick-and-rolls more quickly, and he still has it in the regular season.

There hasn't been a single fight, and the tacit understanding with Chandler is still building.

Moreover, by turning Okur into Chandler, there is not only one more choice for the pick-and-roll as a point guard. Boozer and Kirilenko also have to adjust their playing styles according to the changes in the center's playing style. The same is true for Ronny Boozer.

After Ruhr replaced Gordon Kirisek as the starter, it also had an impact on the Jazz's tactical coordination.

The first few preseason games were fine, but in the last preseason game, the Trail Blazers went all out and the Jazz's offense suffered some obstacles.

When the Trail Blazers sent Stevenson and Millsap as a forward partner, the Jazz's offense stagnated for a while.

But Liu Xiu's side continued the hot start of the offense, and extended from individual scoring to driving the whole team!

Liu Xiu's offense was hot, but the Jazz team's offense was hindered, forcing the Jazz to follow suit on defense, but the Jazz's offense was further hindered.

Sloan didn't have any good ideas at the moment and could only use time to slowly adjust.

They played very well, but who allowed the Trail Blazers to send out the iron-blooded forward combination of Stevenson, Millsap, and Kwame Brown for 3 minutes without any moral ethics?

Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots in the first quarter, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws. He had 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to a score of 25-19, leading the Jazz.

Team 6 points!

…

Although it was only a preseason game, the fans at the scene were as happy as the Chinese New Year.

In the first 7 preseason games, Liu Xiu's performance was not very good, either because he played less time, or because he had to play the whole game and had no chance to perform independently. The data was not good. Trail Blazers fans were a little worried. After all, they

Starting from the second half of the 2005-06 season, I haven't seen the "passer-by" version of the Warden for a long, long time.

Now, they finally feel relieved.

And many people have discovered that Liu Xiu has more tricks in his post-up play. The small floaters he developed last season are becoming more and more skillful, and the progress in single defense is also visible to the naked eye.

For those who are more professional, they can see the progress in assisting defense that Liu Xiu is good at - his positioning is better, and when he is supplementing defense and assisting defense, the moving distance is shorter.

This not only makes Liu Xiu's complementary defense more efficient, but also reduces physical consumption.

This consumption refers to the short-term physical consumption between several rounds. The improvement in this aspect can make his overall performance more stable before the next rest period.

After these professional fans discovered Liu Xiu's progress, they didn't know how to describe their feelings.

That’s too much!

He is so strong, and after a summer of putting on weight, he can still make such great progress... Even Liu Xiu's fans find it unreasonable!

As the saying goes, pressure makes people improve.

Of course, people who have to face pressure must have good psychological quality and their abilities must be online.

The Jazz are a group of people with good psychological quality and online abilities.

Under Liu Xiu's terrifying deterrent, in the second quarter, the Jazz exploded offensively!

Boozer made 5 of 9 shots in the second quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 14 points in a single quarter. Paul had 6 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, organizing the Jazz team's offense in an orderly manner, leading the team to 29 points in a single quarter.

points, a full 10 points more than in the first quarter!

However, the focus was on the offensive end, and the Jazz did not defend well.

Liu Xiu made 3 of 5 shots in the second quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 12 points in a single quarter, plus Ray Allen's 8 points, Lou Williams and Blake each

Scored a three-pointer, Kwame Brown also scored a 2+1 extra free throw on a tip-in, Hill scored a two-pointer... The Trail Blazers scored 31 points in a single quarter!

In general, the two teams played evenly in the second quarter, but in the third quarter, there was a slight gap in the offensive performance of the two teams. The progress driven by pressure is temporary, and the ability of the coaching staff may be relied upon later.

, transform temporary progress into long-term progress, but in the current competition, it is very easy for the opponent to seize loopholes.

The Jazz scored 27 points in the third quarter, and their performance was slightly inferior to that in the second quarter, while the Trail Blazers steadily scored 30 points.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers' lead reached 11 points!

In the final quarter, Sloan chose to rest on his laurels and focus on defense instead of attacking. He tried so hard on offense but lost, which hurt morale a bit.
Chapter completed!
