Kevin Pritchar quickly explained to Liu Xiu what was to be done. After listening, Liu Xiu expressed his understanding. The tactical explanation was over.

Based on what Kevin Plitcha has learned about Liu Xiu's tactical understanding in the past few days, he believes that there may be no need to tell Liu Xiu what to do.

No one was behind anyone's back in the tactical meeting, and the tactics built around Quintel Woods' impact were extremely simple. They were just emphasized in a professional manner.

Tita Carter is angry now, but there is nothing she can do.

He can't influence whatever decision the coaching staff makes, and Liu Xiu is telling the truth.

This is the reason why many teammates are so powerless. Liu Xiu is so talkative, but he often breaks the hearts of others based on the truth... and breaks the hearts of others.

Tita Carter, if you ask him to attack with the ball and score in isolation, he still has certain abilities. He can organize the offense, but he is not qualified for the most basic things such as simply sorting out the offense and distributing the ball.

.

When he walked onto the court, Liu Xiu quickly recalled the characteristics of his playing style against teammates such as Quentel Woods, Desmond Ferguson, and Tom Shenoff, who had hardly played with each other in the past few days.

Desmond Ferguson is a 201cm tall shooting guard who has been impacting the NBA since losing the draft in 2001. His playing style is similar to that of Matt Carroll, mainly catching and shooting, but compared to Matt Carroll.

The gap between them is obvious, and their shooting is about the same, but Desmond Ferguson has almost no passing ability and is just a pure shooter at a fixed point.

Tom Shenoff, after being undrafted in 2002, spent a year playing in various low-level leagues in the United States. He is a 211 cm and 110 kg light and fast inside player.

Quintel Woods has excellent physical fitness, fierce cutting, and the ability to attack with the ball. He can distribute the ball well from both wings. His overall ability is not rated high in the summer league, but he is a special player and performs extremely well.

Combining his understanding of his teammates and tactics, Liu Xiu thought quickly and reconfirmed what he should do on the field.

…

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead.

Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced, looking at the opposite side, James and Diop, two high school players, continued to play. The power forward position was assigned to the Development League player Luke Taiwei, and the forward and defensive line was assigned to the 188 cm tall 2002 graduate.

Drafted JR Bremer and Camby Russell, a white small forward who came from Europe to hit the NBA at 201 centimeters.

When Liu Xiu was close to the top arc, the Trail Blazers' offensive movement started. Quintel Woods was moving towards the offensive position. Randolph did not immediately engage in personal offense after being replaced. The inside line and the outside line are different. Now

The main point of attack is still Quintel Woods.

The Cavaliers have already expected that the Trail Blazers will still be led by Quintel Woods. The response strategy is very simple. The defense is tilted towards Quintel Woods and is ready to attack at any time. Judging from the game in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, the ball

Always go to Quintel Woods.

But Liu Xiu just started running the game and passed the ball directly before he had a chance to pass the ball!

The players on the Cavaliers thought that Liu Xiu should press JR Bremer to break through. The two were about the same height and weighed 10 kilograms apart, but Liu Xiu didn't and directly sent the ball to Randolph on the left side of the free throw line.

in hand.

Randolph caught the ball and saw an opportunity from Quintel Woods. He sent a direct pass. Quintel Woods received the ball from the right sideline of the three-second zone, threw it high... and scored!

This ball can be seen as part of the tactics, but it is obviously different.

As an opponent, you have to have certain tactical literacy to feel the difference, but as a teammate and the first end point in tactics, Quintel Woods feels it clearly.

When retreating from defense, Quintel Woods thought about the attack just now, and then thought about the attack in the previous quarter. He felt that now it was about tactical coordination. In the previous quarter, he was just following the tactics and relying on his personal ability to score.

…

Offense and defense transition, the Cavaliers attack.

With Boozer away, James went into all-out attack mode.

Quintel Woods couldn't resist, James drove straight to the basket and made a layup over Tom Shenoff.

Although James is still an 18-year-old quasi-rookie, he is heavier than center Tom Shenoff, and he cannot stop him when he rushes forward.

"Damn Tuopu..."

After James scored, Liu Xiu immediately stopped his teammates who were about to switch offense and defense and said a few words.

Randolph had no objection, since no one was stronger than him anyway. Quintel Woods did not use the bar this time, and the other two teammates chose to follow orders.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu chose to press JR Bremer to the right side of the free throw line, took a step away and took a jump shot... There was no problem with the choice of the ball. The Cavaliers' defense chose to press down the line.

, Liu Xiu had a good chance to play singles on the line, but unfortunately he didn't score.

Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar chatted on the sidelines and were quite satisfied with Liu Xiu's ability in this area.

After the two chatted for a while, I felt a little depressed - this guy was really lazy.

On the court, James guarded the defensive rebounds and advanced.

In the frontcourt, James continued to score the ball in singles.

Quintel Woods changed his defensive strategy, no longer pushing forward, but blocking James' direct breakthrough route to the right, freeing up the middle.

The left wing was empty, and Randolph moved inside. James did not choose to break through from the left, but went straight into the center!

James suddenly reached close range and was double-teamed by Randolph and Quintel Woods. Randolph withstood James!

They really didn’t go left! Although Randolph and Quintel Woods chose to follow Liu Xiu’s instructions to defend, they didn’t expect the effect to be so good.

James did not make a strong shot against the defense. Randolph moved early and extended to the middle of the free throw line and the arc of the reasonable collision zone. It was beyond the distance that James could reach. He chose to distribute the ball...to the left side of the three-second zone.

Diop is open on the baseline!

Being blocked on his good breakthrough route, being double-teamed, or being targeted tactically, James didn't think it was a big deal. As long as it was a double attack, there would definitely be a passing opportunity.

But Liu Xiu followed JR Bremer, Desmond Ferguson followed Camby Russell, Tom Shenoff and Luke Taiwei fought hand-to-hand... Diop was left alone.

When James chooses to pass the ball, he wants to vomit blood.

Diop stood like a wooden stake outside the three-second zone, with no awareness of moving his offensive position!

After receiving the ball outside the three-second zone, Diop was a little confused and raised the ball to pass. Randolph and Quintel Woods fought hand-to-hand around James.

Diop could only see in front of him. Seeing that James had no chance to catch the ball, he chose to take a step for a layup... The ball went down but did not bounce back!

Diop looked down and saw that the handsome guy from his opponent had sneaked up to him and took away the ball he had knocked down!

Fight back!

Liu Xiu passed the ball to Quintel Woods, who was closely followed by James. Quintel Woods rushed inside and passed to the back. Randolph followed up to catch the ball, squeezed away and turned around to try to defend.

James, who was second, scored an easy layup.

With this ball, Quintel Woods and Randolph had the feeling of a real NBA game!

The tactics are well executed, and the timing of defensive counterattacks is well coordinated...

Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitchar on the sidelines were even more surprised!

Watching Liu Xiu yawn after his teammate scored a goal... This handsome face still needs a slap in the face. The feeling of 'everything is under control' is very pretentious.

But the two coaches felt that this was what they should do at this moment! The defensive counterattack just now was so surprising!

The ability to organize offense is average but not bad, and he has strong ability to sort out offense in tactics. Liu Xiu showed this advantage in this game. The coaching staff is very satisfied. The defensive adjustment and counterattack launched by Liu Xiu just now are a complete surprise!

In terms of offensive ability with the ball and leading the team's offense, Tita Carter may be better than Liu Xiu, and DaJuan Wagner who plays tonight is definitely better than Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu had been in this match for a long time, and it had nothing to do with dazzling.

But at this moment, in the eyes of professionals, Liu Xiu's presence was too strong!

The feeling of playing ball with your brain is so advanced!

…

Liu Xiu's adjustments on the defensive end took advantage of two points.

Tonight, James exceeded 75% and went to the right, and Diop had zero offensive awareness.

Ruben Bontje is weak in strength and only relies on his height and weight to make a living. This is because Ruben Bontje has poor athletic ability, but he has a good mind and good positional movement and can become an offensive threat.

Diop doesn't have it. Diop has truly zero offensive consciousness and zero offensive ability... Of course he has advantages. He has excellent athletic ability, top-notch height, wingspan and weight. His defensive awareness is okay, but his offensive awareness is zero.

Not only does he have no awareness of finding his own position, but he also has no awareness of pick-and-rolls without the ball.

Ben Wallace, who also has no offensive ability, is very good at off-ball pick-and-rolls on the baseline and weak side.

James is good at breakthroughs on the right side, but not so good on the left. The success rate of breakthroughs on the left is not as good as facing the defense in the middle.

Neither James nor Diop can avoid these two points at this stage.

The Trail Blazers did not take advantage of the defensive end earlier. Liu Xiu discovered this and took advantage of it.

Liu Xiu's defensive strategy is effective because of Kobe... No, it's thanks to O'Neal. The OK team was invincible in the 2001 playoffs. In order to limit O'Neal, the NBA allowed early flanking and area flanking.

The game continued to progress, and the Blazers players got more and more excited as they played.

Before, with James' ridiculously strong body and incredible athletic ability, Quintel Woods and Travis Outlaw, two athletic geniuses, couldn't even guard against the outside, let alone take a step forward.

Give James a chance to fully charge... Anyway, he can't guard one-on-one, and often because he doesn't provide enough obstacles, the inside line will bear more hardships.

But now, with a little adjustment of defensive details, James has been given quite clear restrictions!

Quintel Woods actively expressed himself. On the defensive end, he had a method and worked hard to cooperate with Randolph. On the offensive end, Liu Xiu could better distribute the ball. Quintel Woods benefited and played harder.

More willing to cooperate with Liu Xiu on the defensive end and tactical end.

Quentel Woods wants to take advantage of the benefits brought by Liu Xiu, perform better, and prove himself to the coach...

It's a pity that all Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitchar saw on the sidelines were some handsome men...
