Healing Basketball

   Chapter 191 191. Another giant! (6000 words, 1015 supplements)

  In the commentary table of the court platform, Sun Zhengping and Su Qun, who were exhausted, both entered the peasant state.

   I thought the two had a conflict because of the game, but I didn't expect to see such a scene.

   The live broadcast screen repeatedly replayed Liu Xiu's confused expression when Yao Ming grabbed Liu Xiu's candied haws, and the fans in front of the domestic TV all laughed.

   On the court, the inter-season break is over, and the players who started the last quarter of the two teams play.

   Blazers lineup: Momo, Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, McDyess.

   Rockets lineup: Francis, Adrian Griffin, Jim Jackson, Cato, Yao Ming.

   Liu Xiu was murderous when he played!

   Food, he can share with others.

   But if he doesn't give it, others can't take it!

   Receiving the serve, Liu Xiu advanced to the front court with an angry face... and gave the ball to Momonga.

  The Rockets thought that Liu Xiu was going to make a hard shot.

   After all, he is a rookie with 52 points in a single game, and Liu Xiu is a strong player in singles, so the Rockets focused on him.

   didn't expect it was just a false shot.

   Momonga is still playing casually, he is already high, but he doesn't care whether he should be steady in chasing points in the final quarter, he catches the ball with two steps, Mobley hurriedly presses up and pounces over the head, and Momonga makes an emergency stop and hits a long two-point shot!

   scored 11 points in a row, and the difference came to 7 points!

  The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming caught the ball and was attacked by three people!

  Randolph topped the back, McDyess pressed up on the flank to block and turned around, and the extrajudicial fanatic was ready to block.

  Yao Ming points to Jim Jackson, Jim Jackson catches the ball and makes a three-pointer...

   This year, Jim Jackson's three-point shooting rate was 40.6% and he made an average of 2.1 three-pointers per game. There are Yao Ming and Francis. Although he mainly scores in singles, he often has large gap shots.

   But before it was time for him to play in the third quarter, the game was overwhelmed, that is, he didn't play the whole third quarter!

  Hands are cold!

  Jim Jackson misses a three-pointer in the gap!

   Francis actively interfered with Liu Xiu's defensive rebound as instructed, and the interference was successful.

   But this actually weakened the Rockets' offensive rebounding impact. Francis is the Rockets' offensive rebounding player second only to Yao Ming.

   Outlaws protect defensive rebounds.

  The Rockets have good defensive discipline. After the mistake just now, they immediately focused.

  Some players on the offensive end are affected because they haven't played for too long, but it is good for the defensive end to rest for a long time.

  Liu Xiu received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone. He judged that it would not be better to pass out, and he made a mid-range shot against Jim Jackson who was on defense...missed!

  Cato protects the defensive rebound.

   Offense and defense transition, Yao Ming received the ball at close range, before the three men pinched in place, flexibly turned right to face the baseline, left hook shot... Hit!

  80 to 71, the Rockets lead back to 9 points.

  The TV commentator is now saying that the Blazers should replace the big center guard, but Maurice Cheeks does not!

   They recovered the score, but it wasn't that...

  No, Yao Ming just scored a goal, Randolph picked it up and dropped it off the baseline and sent it to Momo!

  Randolph needs to take into account the card position. The extrajudicial fanatic or McDyess is the first choice to grab a defensive rebound. Liu Xiu, and the flying squirrel, their passing vision and ability are not enough, not every time.

   But the opponent scored a goal, and Randolph served to speed up!

  Take care of him three, seven, twenty-one, and shoot at him again!

Momonga rushed to the frontcourt and was blocked, and distributed it to the follow-up extrajudicial fanatics. The extrajudicial fanatics cut in the middle, and the Rockets did a good job in retreating, so Yao Ming did not retreat, and the extrajudicial fanatics were pinched in the middle. , sub-flank...

  Liu Xiu followed up to catch the ball, cut to the hoop, made a diving layup, and sent the ball into the hoop before Mobley jumped up.

  73 to 80, the Trail Blazers maintained the possibility of catching up.

   When the Rockets replaced Yao Ming, and Yao Ming had only played 20 minutes in front, and then rested for most of the quarter, the Rockets defense immediately improved to the top level.

  The courage of Francis, Mobley's skills, Cato's help defense, Yao Ming's rim protection, four drags and one with Jim Jackson, Van Gundy's defensive coaching is really good.

The    Blazers' scoring efficiency plummeted, but they didn't give up, trying to take every opportunity they recognized.

   On the Rockets side, the flank shots were not good enough, and it was just the stars. Francis once again started the mode of rushing to the inside.

   Yao Ming, who didn't play many singles in the first three quarters, increased the number of singles, and Jim Jackson began to cut inside when he couldn't make a shot.

   Neither team scored high and it was a stalemate for a while.

   When the game entered the official timeout at the 6th minute and 47th second, the Rockets led the Trail Blazers by 8 points 88-80. In more than half a quarter, the Trail Blazers only narrowed the difference by 1 point.

   The mentality of the game is not only determined by the present, but also by past experience.

  The current state of mind of the Rockets players is to delay the game until the end of the game, and win by 1 point is also a win.

  The Blazers players didn't think so much. They fell behind and went up to work!

   If you can catch up with the difference, you can catch up.

  Can't catch up, from a dozen points behind, at least in their own minds, the face has been earned back.

   When the Rockets and their opponents are deadlocked, the problem comes for the Rockets.

  Even if the Rockets are the lead...

  The official suspension came back, and the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Momoko, Liu Xiu, Miles, Harrington, and Randolph.

  The Rockets sent a combination of Francis, Mobley, Piakowski, Witherspoon, and Yao Ming.

  The Trail Blazers attacked, and Randolph hit the bottom line with a face-to-face singles shot.

  When the Rockets attacked, the Blazers defended the basket, Yao Ming pulled out to catch the ball and shot, Myers made up the defense in time, and Yao Ming missed the shot due to interference.

  Harrington grabbed the rebound, Francis and Mobley strengthened their defense against Liu Xiu and Momo, and actively moved forward.

  Harrington himself advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Momonga. Momonga didn't play singles, but passed again...

  Liu Xiu borrowed Miles for cover on the right sideline, received the ball and shook a shot, and Piakowski, who was switched, flew away.

  Liu Xiu slapped the ball, went outside the 30-degree three-point line on the right, and made a three-pointer...

   This is his most accurate three-point shooting position, and he made it!

   In a wave of 5-0, the Blazers chased the score to 85-88, reducing the score to within 5 points!

   A very big difference between the two teams has appeared again!

  When the score is tight, the Trail Blazers have the ability to rush and explode.

   And the Rockets didn't!

  Yao Ming, Francis, Mobley...and others have one thing in common. They are all 'basic' players, and they basically don't have the ability to raise the upper limit of the team.

   After the Blazers went 5-0, they played anxiously with the Rockets again.

  The Trail Blazers failed to overtake the score in one fell swoop, but the Rockets also couldn't widen the gap.

  The game reached 10 minutes and 44 seconds into the final quarter. Liu Xiu and Momoko played tactical cooperation and went around the top arc to catch the ball. The current score is only 91 to 94, and they are still 3 points behind. Liu Xiu chose to shoot with a three-pointer from the top arc...not to score!

   However, Randolph squeezed into the basket from Yao Ming's side and made a tip!

  93 to 94, the difference is reduced to 1 point!

  The Rockets didn't call a timeout! In the second half, the Rockets used up the timeout first!

   At a critical moment, Francis handed the ball to Mobley for singles. The two who grew up together trust each other.

   Mobley faced Miles with a single and took a three-pointer...

   did not enter!

  Randolph protects the rebound and gives Momo.

   The fast break didn't come out, the Rockets fought hard to retreat, and the Trail Blazers fell into a positional battle.

   There are still more than 30 seconds left in the game time, and Momomouse himself took time to dribble the ball in the frontcourt, and he did not intend to pass.

   Mobley kept fighting against Momonga. Momonga didn't make any mistakes because of it. He protected the ball well and started singles with 10 seconds left in the 24-second attack time.

  Cross steps, change direction, break through, jump to the free throw line, step back, take off... Momonga has a beautiful singles process, and Witherspoon pounces.

After Yao Ming made a save with Witherspoon, he stood on the arc of the reasonable collision zone, protected the rim, protected the defensive rebound, and avoided the situation two rounds ago... A win by one point is also a win, and one point is enough. …

   Just when Yao Ming turned around, he saw the bottom line fans looked horrified, followed by screams and bumps from behind, and a "bang"...

  The pressure on his back is close to 200 pounds, let Yao Ming know that he is the background again...

   The little flying squirrel jumped up to score the ball, and Liu Xiu used Harrington's pick-and-roll cut on the flank to sprint to receive the ball.

   buttoned in!

  95 to 94, the Blazers overtake by 1 point!

   14 seconds left!

   After landing, Liu Xiu immediately ran out of the three-point line, and then returned to her sloppy appearance, and high-fived with her teammates who were extremely excited.

   Yao Ming turned around and saw Liu Xiu, who had recovered his sloppy appearance.

   But he didn't have time to think about this, so he hurried to the front court.

  The Rockets have no time!

   Mobley, who served the ball, had experience and was very calm at critical moments. He served in 5 seconds, and the referee counted to 4 before he sent it to Francis.

   Harrington and Momo had no success in receiving the serve, so they quickly retreated. At this time, Yao Ming had come to close range.

  Randolph struggled to fight against Yao Ming, put it in front, and the ball was just for Yao Ming to play singles.

  Yao Ming has only played less than 32 minutes tonight...but! He didn't rest in the last quarter!

   There are two **** in front, and the two post-up singles failed to score.

   Francis quickly advanced to the frontcourt, there were only 10 seconds left, and seeing that Yao Ming did not squeeze in and failed to get to the position, Francis gave the ball to Mobley.

   How will Francis play at a critical moment? Usually he doesn't know. Usually, he would either rush on his own or watch Mobley fight, but tonight he has a way to learn from Liu Xiu and cut around the pile!

   Mobley singles against Miles. Miles has a 206-centimeter-high and 220-centimeter wingspan.

   Seeing Francis going around the pile, he understood what Francis was thinking, and when he ran out of time, he immediately passed it on...

  However, Francis learned a trick, and Mobley also passed it on, but that 'pile' was Witherspoon, and he didn't block anyone!

   Liu Xiu chased Francis to the three-second zone, the ball came to him, and he slapped it down.

   Steals!

Very surprised!

  This ball was passed, but he couldn't pass it anyway.

   But he fought back right away...and was hugged by Witherspoon...

   This movement is a bit big, very big.

   is a serious violation.

Liu Xiu immediately threw an elbow back and slammed it on Witherspoon's rib. Witherspoon immediately let go, took a few steps back and hugged his stomach. After a while, he immediately wanted to move towards Liu Xiu. Pounced, but was stopped.

   Players from both teams are blocking people…

   The scene was chaotic for a while, but fortunately, the two teams were more restrained. There were several interviews together this season, and most of them had a good relationship. For example, Francis was upset with Liu Xiu, and it was limited to the game itself and the All-Star starter.

  Witherspoon This must be something.

   But people mainly stop Liu Xiu!

  Fortunately, Liu Xiu has no next move.

  Most people were very restrained, and the referee also separated the people on both sides smoothly.

   After watching the replay, When Witherspoon hugged Liu Xiu for a foul, he strangled Liu Xiu, and was hit by Liu Xiuyi's arm in the ribs.

  The referee discussed it, gave Liu Xiu a technical foul, gave Witherspoon a first-level malicious foul, the Rockets made one free throw, and the Blazers made two free throws and one throw.

   At this time, Witherspoon regretted it.

   When fouling, he firstly wants to take tactical fouls to gain opportunities, and secondly, he has the unpleasant feeling of losing the ball in it.

   But now that I calm down, I remember who the target of his evil crime just now...

  My ribs are still hurting!

   Yao Ming was affected, and he was dissatisfied with Witherspoon!

  I have known Liu Xiu for so long and have been in contact with him so many times. Yao Ming knows that Liu Xiu will only 'defensive counterattack' and take the initiative to cause trouble? Difficult, the warden finds it troublesome.

   But Witherspoon is indeed his best backup linemate in nearly two seasons in the NBA.

  Emotional fluctuations caused Yao Ming to miss a technical free throw!

   The penalty shot made Yao Ming annoyed, and the penalty was the tie! We can expect Liu Xiu to miss both free throws!

   At this moment, Yao Ming watched Liu Xiu applaud next to him... 屮!

   I was thinking about this kid just now, but now I think about it, this fellow rookie NBA player is really bad!

   When Liu Xiu made a free throw and returned an arm, he had already vented a bit.

Just now, subconsciously, I used the basic force movement of Bajiquan I just learned, from the knees up, to the waist, and the back to drive the arms... I guess that 'Little Barkley' felt better, he was the warden himself. Arms hurt for a while.

   walked to the free throw line, slapped the ball, and slowly adjusted. The referee was urging him. Liu Xiu felt better, and then began to execute malicious foul free throws.

   Standing at a fixed distance and slowly adjusting the free throws, Liu Xiu was very stable and made two free throws!

  97 to 94, the difference is 3 points, and there are 4.9 seconds left!

  If Witherspoon fouls normally, the Rockets still have a chance to fight, throwing a three-pointer with a long pass, anyway, they can win it.

   But now the ball goes to the Blazers…

The Rockets took advantage of the dead ball to replace Yao Ming and Witherspoon during Liu Xiu's free throw, and replaced them with a combination of Francis, Mobley, Jim Jackson, Piakowski, and Scott Padgett. , against the Trail Blazers receiving the serve.

The    Blazers also made personnel adjustments, and the combination of Liu Xiu, Momomoka, Wesley Person, Harrington, and Randolph were replaced.

  Harrington successfully sent the ball to Randolph, Randolph protected it, and the Rockets did not continue to foul.

  There is no need. Randolph receives the ball, time has already started to run out, and there is not much time for further fouls.

   The final whistle sounded at 9:29:31 pm.

competition is over!

   Relying on Mumbai's 30 points and 6 assists in a single game, mainly the 9 points in a row at the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers started the road of reversal, reversed the Rockets 97-94, and won the 40th victory of the season!

  …

  “Competition Rating:

  Type of game: Regular season.

  Stats: 41 minutes in the game, 8 of 20 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals…

  …

  Comprehensive score A.

  Congratulations to the host for getting a reward: 800 healing points. "

  6 assists, Liu Xiu thanked Momonga for receiving the ball twice and threw it in directly!

   Counterattack score He didn't start much tonight, but got beautiful data in the positional battle.

  Plans always fail to keep up with changes.

   Momonga was interviewed after the game, and the MVP of this game must be Momonga.

  Randolph's 13 points and 14 rebounds were actually very good, with key shots and high rebounds.

   Yao Ming came to find Liu Xiu after the game: "Jesse, you don't need to know him in general, he is very impulsive..."

   Yao Ming came to intercede with Witherspoon, who he was not yet familiar with, so that Liu Xiu would not hate his teammates.

   It can be seen from the playback that Liu Xiu's movement can even be said to be a 'break free' movement, but the movement is a bit big.

   Liu Xiu naturally wanted to give Yao Ming face: "I know, I was a little hard, Yao brother, please apologize to me."

   Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the warden said so, he would definitely not take it to heart.

   And, aside from being irritating at times, this fellow is polite.

  The Imperial Court quickly finished the interview with Momomoko, and then came to Liu Xiu and Yao Ming.

   The two here are the focus.

Most of the questions asked by    are harmonious and full of praise... Live broadcast, so those newcomers will not be invited.

   But it was inevitable to ask about the final conflict. Liu Xiu took the initiative to say that he also had a problem, while Yao Ming excused his teammates. Yao Ming was very concerned about teammates.

  …

  After the interview, Yao Ming felt very tired.

   Since meeting Liu Xiu, Yao Ming feels that his off-court life has become more tiring.

   Need to communicate with domestic officials and speak for Liu Xiu in front of the domestic media...

   The most important thing is that we lost the game with Liu Xiu again!

  After the interview, Yao Ming returned to the locker room, and now he thinks about today's game.

   is far from a big spectrum!

   In the last two minutes, the whole team didn't seem to get a point!

   His technical foul hits the free throw…

   But at the crucial moment, none of them could shoot a goal.

   Francis trusts Mobley. It really doesn't mean that Mobley is such a good key ball player, but he dares to throw at critical moments, and has thrown in, and he is particularly confident in his shots.

   Really say how many lore he has made... Anyway, not one this season.

   began to envy Liu Xiu's teammates again.

   The opponent also has a Rahim injured!

   Momonga and Harrington, these two backups are extravagant!

   Just when Yao Ming was about to explode, he heard a roar from the locker room.

   Came to the training ground and saw that Jeff Van Gundy was roaring and smashing the tactical board...

   Yao Ming asked the people nearby: "Tracy, what's wrong?"

Tracy Murray, one of the pure role players who won 50+, has a career-marked performance of 50 points and 0 assists in a single game. He has been teammates with Liu Xiu for more than half a month, and joined the Trail Blazers during the training camp this season. After the training camp contract, he was given up before the preseason was over, and he announced his retirement.

   played with the Rockets for half a season, followed Olajuwon to get the championship ring, and found a job as a shooting coach in the Rockets after retiring. He was once regarded as one of the most accurate role player pitchers in the league.

  Tracy Murray and Yao Ming said a few words, Yao Ming's emotions that had just calmed down because his attention was diverted broke out...

   There was a roar that no one could understand at the home team training ground of the Toyota Center—

   "God **** warden, I finally got a better power forward backup teammate, you broke his ribs!

and many more! This man who killed a thousand knives also detained me! Didn't I just rob you of a candied haws? "

  …

  …

   "You said, is it possible that he has osteoporosis, I just hit him lightly... No, just touched him lightly and he cracked?"

  Xu Jicheng from the Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency looked at Liu Xiu with guilt.

   Randolph was not injured when he switched to defense, but it cracked when you touched him lightly?

   That inch strength is too obvious!

   But Liu Xiu's guilt is either faked, or it makes people feel flat when he speaks.

  Fortunately, there was a topic yesterday when Liu Xiu dunked Yao Ming at a critical moment to help the Blazers win the game...

   On February 24th, the Blazers came to a hotel in San Francisco next to Oakland in the Bay Area.

  At noon, some media broke the news that Rockets player Clarence Witherspoon had two fractured ribs and will miss 3-12 weeks.

   That is to say, depending on the recovery situation, it will take a month to recover, and it will take a quarter to recover.

   As soon as the news came out, it was linked to Liu Xiu's elbow last night.

  The American media was very humane and immediately began to sympathize with Witherspoon.

   The previous attack on Witherspoon was from a nursing home...does it matter?

  Witherspoon is a villain-type player. He has committed a dozen malicious fouls so far in his career. Does it matter?

   Liu Xiu subconsciously fought back after being maliciously fouled. Does it matter?

   Liu Xiu injured someone, that's the most important thing.

  The Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency made an appointment for an exclusive interview this afternoon. This happened, and I had to ask.

   Liu Xiu is really guilty...

   But to be precise, he should call it sympathy.

  When someone attacks you, you respond, and you are stronger than the other party and hurt the other party, there will always be sympathy.

  Yes, the warden is a kind man.

   sympathized with Witherspoon, and Liu Xiu devoted his attention to tomorrow's opponent, the Warriors.

   Is this the end of kindness?

certainly.

  Is it possible to give Witherspoon an elbow?

   is also possible, but later his warden will definitely fight back. As for whether the people around him can stop him like they stopped Witherspoon, it is hard to say.

  The Master said: Repaying grievances with virtue, Liu Xiu hopes that others can use noble virtues to ease their negative emotions towards his warden.

   After a night of rest in San Francisco, on the morning of February 25th, the Trail Blazers went to the Warriors home to prepare for the game.

   As soon as we got outside the arena, the bus started to boo.

   Looking at the slogans held by the fans around the arena and listening to the roars of his teammates, Liu Xiu had a black line on his head.

   "The warden is coming, warriors, please wear protective gear!"
