The second quarter of the game begins.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Damon Stoudemire, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Person, Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Bulls sent a combination of Gennaro Pago, Jaylen Rose, Pippen, Donyel Marshall, and Eddie Curry.

The Bulls play style, with Jaylen Rose and Eddie Curry taking turns playing singles.

Before the start of the season, people expected Pippen to link up the Bulls' offense and defense, just like he did when he joined the Trail Blazers in the summer of 1999 and transformed the Trail Blazers.

But the young people of the Bulls don't have much respect for Pippen, the second player in team history.

He will always give face to whomever Pippen's suggestions are beneficial to. This person will listen and say, 'This is what Batman said' when fighting with teammates for things on the court.

But no one paid any attention to anyone who asked me to take fewer shots and hold the ball less.

"My grandma and Jordan can win the championship together", this sentence is too devastating.

The Trail Blazers' style of play is actually more vicious... but I'm used to it. The little flying squirrel plays the main offense, Dale Davis steals, Ruben Patterson seizes the opportunity to catch and shoot around the high post, and Wesley Persson receives the ball from the wing.

Shoot or pass the ball, Tianzun catches and shoots from the wing or provides support around the high post.

It took half a quarter, it seems because in the second quarter, the moon came out, and Eddie Curry played very fiercely in singles during this half of the quarter.

Eddie Curry's offensive performance is as good as that of a little shark. He is 213 centimeters tall and 133 kilograms tall. He has flexible feet and a soft touch. He can face the frame in the low post, hook his hand... and can even turn over and shoot a jump shot.

Eddie Curry's offensive versatility made Randolph on the sidelines curl his lips.

Look at Eddie Curry, and then look at Liu Xiu next to him. Randolph regrets that he worked a little harder in the first two years. His offensive skills at the basket may not be as comprehensive as Eddie Curry's, but at least he won't be in the same position.

There was such a great sense of crisis in front of Liu Xiu.

Eddie Curry scored 7 points in the first half of the quarter, helping the Bulls score 14 points in the first half of the quarter. They also beat the Trail Blazers by 1 point in the first half of the quarter.

The score was 50 to 40, and the Trail Blazers still maintained a 10-point lead.

'If today is an odd-numbered day, I will not change my playing style. If today is an even-numbered day, I will change my teammates' all-pitching style...Ah, today is No. 4!'

When entering the timeout, Liu Xiu made a difficult decision.

After Maurice Cheeks read out the rotation list, he said something like, "Play well." He did not make any substantive arrangements, and left most of the break between quarters to the players who were about to play to discuss their own play.

It is also part of the coach's job to observe how the players like to play when they are playing independently and how to play efficiently.

Liu Xiu pulled several teammates who were about to play, "You guys move like this, run like this on the outside, and run like this on the wings, and so on...and so on...when you receive the pass from me, shoot!"

…

After the official timeout came back, the coaches of the two teams saw the lineup sent by the other team and smiled at each other.

For the Trail Blazers, the combination of Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Spandinha came on the court.

The Bulls, the combination of Hinrich, Kendall Gill, Marcus Fizer, Corey Blount and Chandler came on the court.

Everyone sent out the training lineup with a tacit understanding.

The Bulls attack first.

The Bulls actually made substitutions in the first half of the second quarter, but the five players in Hinrich's lineup did not play in the first half. Scott Scales asked several people to sit together to summarize the play style.

The effect of the adjustment is significant, Marcus Feizer and Corey Blount's positioning and movement are obviously much better.

After Chandler completed his outside work, he came to the outside of the reasonable collision area to receive the ball and passed it to Kendall Gill, who made a mid-range shot from the wing!

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu did not drop down to the low post. He quickly dribbled the ball horizontally. After getting a little space, he broke through like a tank!

This is such a brute force that Hinrich really can't handle it.

However, Liu Xiu's speed was almost the same as Hinrich's. Even after pushing away Hinrich, he was unable to get rid of him and was flanked by Chandler.

Corey Blount and Marcus Fizer recovered the basket and blocked the cut. Chandler covered the receiving space of Randolph and Spandinha who moved to the lower limit. Kendall Gill followed With Matt Carroll tight and only Travis Outlaw open, Liu Xiu immediately passed the ball.

Travis Outlaw received the ball on the left side of the free throw line. Chandler closed the basket and blocked Travis Outlaw's breakthrough path.

Contrary to the expectations of the Bulls players, Travis Outlaw caught the ball, adjusted it, pulled up the mid-range shot... and bang... it was iron!

The Bulls protect the defensive rebound.

The Trail Blazers players retreated quickly. When retreating, Liu Xiu said to Travis Outlaw: "The shot was very good. Keep working hard next time. When defending, feel free to leave the middle block to Zach. Leave the coverage of the wing cut to me, and you should pay attention to determine whether the opponent's receiving player is within his shooting range..."

The Bulls' offense was actually quite simple, the same as the previous round.

When Chandler moved one step outside the three-second zone to receive the ball, he was blocked by Randolph, but this time Travis Outlaw did not rush to attack, but cut off the pass between Chandler and the high-post player. Catch line.

Chandler wanted to find Hinrich, but Liu Xiu had already made up for it. Chandler could only take the shot far away from the basket...it was iron!

The ball bounced toward Liu Xiu and Hinrich. Hinrich did not struggle and turned around to retreat. Liu Xiu collected the fourth defensive rebound of the game.

After Liu Xiu caught the ball, he started a fast break and hit the connecting stage!

He really caught the Bulls off guard. Liu Xiu had never played like this in the second half of the first quarter. He was so sure.

Hinrich was well aware of Liu Xiu's stability and active defense. He just wanted to set an example and use his weak influence to gradually change the team. It was not to prevent Liu Xiu from leading the team to counterattack.

Who knew Liu Xiuzhen was beaten!

Travis Outlaw and Randolph attack from the flanks, Liu Xiu advances in the middle, Matt Carroll is a little slow and hangs behind, Spandinha...come on from behind!

Liu Xiu had slowed down as he entered the three-point line and stopped at the free throw line. Hinrich was on guard and Liu Xiu scored the ball...

All the Bulls players had retreated to the basket. Randolph took the first step in the fast break and rushed in from the right side. The Bulls players all thought Liu Xiu would pass to Randolph.

but!

Liu Xiu passed to Travis Outlaw who rushed to the free throw line on the left baseline!

The lawless gangster shot again...the release point was too high. When the ball was thrown, it was almost as high as the backboard. It hit the basket straight and turned around two or three times before slowly stopping at the basket. Go up and fall into the frame!

The goal was scored, but Hinrich was confused as to what the operation was.

It's obviously gambling on luck!

Randolph cut in from the wing to catch the ball, sprinted, dribbled casually, played with his steps, and found a confrontation. Although the Bulls were guarding the basket with two people, Hinrich himself didn't feel that Chandler and Marcus - Fizer can block Randolph's unimpeded drive to the basket.

It was nothing more than Randolph catching the ball and rushing to the frame to find some footwork, and Liu Xiu didn't assist.

Liu Xiu plays like this to get assists?

Hinrich rejected the idea immediately. In the final eight months ago, he was deeply impressed by Liu Xiu, the core point guard of the team that defeated him.

After Liu Xiu was unexpectedly selected in the lottery, Hinrich paid attention to every game of Liu Xiu's summer league, preseason, and regular season. He watched all the live games.

Even in the game where he scored 52 points, Liu Xiu focused on stability.

Hinrich suddenly had an idea.

Hinrich thought about the Trail Blazers' two attacks just now, and Travis Outlaw's exaggerated shooting point. How can he really practice shooting before his running and jumping ability declines? How can he interfere with his shooting?

And looking at Travis Outlaw's shooting hand pattern, he has definitely practiced it. His rhythm is not good, but it can also be seen that he has practiced it and has certain basic skills... This prisoner nicknamed the Outlaw is extremely

The evil person is also a high school rookie with super talent.

New chicken times wow oneself touch hey many times

This opponent is helping Travis Outlaw of the same class improve!

Courtside, the Trail Blazers bench.

"Maurice, do you think Jace is helping Travis improve himself?"

"I think so, Travis is very suitable for this style of play where he can shoot directly after receiving the ball and having space to jump, but this style of play requires finding a feeling in the game and making adjustments in actual combat, but it also requires someone to pass the ball to him...

... Jayce knew it well, and he let Travis play like this when he encountered a team like the Bulls, which is among the worst."

"Jace also needs practical training..." Kevin Plitchar said with some worry in his tone.

"Don't worry, Kevin, you see, if the Bulls don't shrink the team, Jayce will choose to play alone."

"But this kind of thing is really rare... Oh! Look, he chose to pass the ball to Matt! Alas... he didn't score... Matt has three-point talent, but his playing time is too little. He has two goals this season.

Four points a time!"

"It doesn't matter, it's almost the middle of the season. In the next month, we can arrange targeted training for Travis and Matt. After Christmas, we will increase the playing time of the three of them. This month, we will play against the weak teams and let the main players work hard.

Give them an advantage and give them more time to practice..."

…

Liu Xiu increases the time he holds the ball and passes it out to his teammates to shoot after receiving the ball... Since the opponent's defense is not very good, his teammates have good chances to catch the ball and shoot. However, they are not strong enough. After catching the ball, the shooting time is hasty and the efficiency is quite poor.

At the end of halftime, the Bulls were chasing 54-59, and the point difference was narrowed to 5 points... and they were beaten 14-9!

Liu Xiu originally thought that giving assists like this would arouse negative views from coaches and teammates.

But, it seems not?

There was no increase in healing value, and as he entered the halftime break, he felt the appreciative eyes of the coach, the grateful eyes of some teammates, the appreciative eyes of veterans, and the complicated eyes of players with bad relationships in the team...
