Parker's basic skills in pick-and-roll still need to be improved. The forward swing was too big, and Liu Xiu instantly judged that Parker was fake pick-and-roll.

Bowen's defense actually did not fail. The purpose of the defense was achieved, allowing Liu Xiu to make an emergency stop for a two-point or three-point shot at high speed.

It was just that Liu Xiu judged the opponent's possible intention. When he saw Bowen retreating from the three-point line, Liu Xiu decided to make an emergency stop, slow down in advance, and rely on his top mid-range shot to make a long two-pointer.

After scoring the goal, Liu Xiu's excitement burst out again, and he quickly made adjustments when retreating from defense.

He originally thought that the improvement of 'insight' was just a bonus, and the main function of 'imprisonment' was to maintain the lower limit of status.

After all, the lower limit of maintaining the state looks so awesome. Literally, it means that even in hand-to-hand combat and war of attrition, the lower limit of the state can be maintained at a good level.

But this does not work all the time. For example, at the beginning of the game, he has patiently carried out a complicated and sufficient warm-up. There is a high probability that his state will be better than 'good'. This will only be affected later by factors such as confrontation and physical exertion.

decline, but it is also possible that the more you play, the better you get, so the 'lower limit is good' is useless...it has certain limitations.

The improvement of 'insight' is different. His reading ability on both offense and defense is already top-notch, and his awareness is very good. With another 'substantial improvement', he suddenly feels that he has Nash's defensive reading ability and Bowen's.

Attack reading skills.

However, Liu Xiu failed to adjust his mood this time. He was still very excited when he retreated to the backcourt. Seeing that Parker had advanced past half-court, he simply chose to give up restraint and focus on the game instead of zoning out to suppress his excitement.

Distracted.

Parker, who had just advanced one step beyond the top arc, was startled!

He kept his attention on Liu Xiu, and saw Liu Xiu suddenly staring at him with her eyes wide open, full of excitement and excitement.

Just when Parker was swallowing his saliva, Liu Xiu moved, reached out and grabbed it, and made a head-on steal!

Parker lost consciousness for only a moment before Liu Xiu intercepted him!

Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and started a fast break, and Parker quickly chased after him.

Others followed up and chased, but Liu Xiu and Parker were far ahead. The speed of both of them exceeded the top level, and the scene of quickly running towards the opposite basket caused the fans at the scene to exclaim.

Parker was a little faster and got to the basket first. When Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and took off, he pressed up and reached for the ball.

Parker is very confident. Liu Xiu will never dunk when he hits him. He is not worthy.

But as soon as he attached himself, Liu Xiu pushed him over.

Liu Xiu took off with all his strength from close range, overturned Parker, jumped high, and slammed the ball into the basket!

Parker was hit hard and fell hard, but seeing his miserable condition, the fans at the scene were even more excited.

It’s so rare to see a warden who is not calm!

The ball was suspected of being blocked, but the referee did not call it, and Liu Xiu did not fight for it, turning around and retreating.

Don't dunk on someone you look down on? No, no, no, he just doesn't dunk when it's not necessary, so as not to affect his feel.

Only dunk on top defensive players? Of course not, but when facing those people, the safest way to score at that position is to dunk.

Now the condition is guaranteed to be at a good level, so don’t worry about these, just do it!

Parker was in a lot of pain just now, but it was just a bruise. It wouldn't be a big deal if it took a while.

But after he received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, when he saw Liu Xiu again, he had the same feeling as when he faced Liu Xiu last season.

After the first three matches this season, although he lost all of them, he thought that even if he couldn't beat Liu Xiu, he could rely on his team to compete with Liu Xiu.

But in the first two attacks, the gap he felt was even bigger than the gap last season!

In the next few rounds, Parker did everything wrong and failed.

Although Liu Xiu's defensive insight has improved, his basic defensive skills have not actually changed. His defense in the first two rounds was actually a surprise, but it already frightened Parker.

And his insight has improved. Although his basic defensive skills have not changed, he has a better vision to make good use of his basic defensive skills. What he doesn't know will not change, but he will be able to perform better.

However, the limitation of defensive insight is actually mainly due to his role as a point guard, not the most critical part of the defense.

The more critical aspects of defense are the interior and forward lines.

The offensive end is different. As the core of holding the ball, the improvement of offensive insight has a much higher impact than the offense!

As long as Liu Xiu started accelerating from the center circle, Bowen insisted on the strategy of preventing breakthroughs but not shots. However, Liu Xiu then scored 4 points with 2 of 3 shots, making the score 8-3, and the lead expanded to

5 points.

Next, Duncan stabilized the situation by hitting Kwame Brown with a low back and turned around and hit a hook shot.

When the Trail Blazers attacked again, Liu Xiu continued to speed up the breakthrough in the middle circle. Bowen couldn't hold back this time and pressed forward to defend, but Liu Xiu passed him.

Duncan had to make up for it early, Liu Xiu quickly released the ball, and Randolph caught the ball in the low post and turned around to Nesterovich's side for a layup.

When Liu Xiu made 4 of 5 shots and scored 8 points in the beginning, Popovich did not call a timeout. As soon as Randolph scored, Popovich called a timeout. When Bowen walked back to the bench,

We were greeted by roars that covered our faces.

Just when Parker felt lucky that he wasn't the one being yelled at, Popovich attacked him with his mouth.

Not only was he yelled at, he was also scolded bloody.

Although Popovich called a timeout, the game had only been played for a while, and there was no way to solve the problem. Most of the timeout was spent just yelling at Bowen and Parker, and the overall morale was low.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers are in full swing!

After returning from the timeout, neither team made any substitutions, and the starting lineup continued to play.

The coach has no solution to the problem, which is nothing new for the Spurs players. Whenever they encounter this situation, the Spurs players' adjustment is to implement the established strategy more firmly.

In the remainder of the first quarter, the Spurs defended the Trail Blazers' three-pointers and close-range scores very well, but the Spurs failed to defend Liu Xiu's high post shot at all.

After making 4 of 5 shots in the beginning, Liu Xiu made 3 of 5 mid-range shots, and once counterattacked, Ginobili scored a layup for 2+1... After the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 8 of 11 shots.

In addition to 1 of 1 free throws, he scored 17 points and 3 assists in a single quarter!

Under his leadership, the Trail Blazers scored 29 points in a single quarter!

On the other side, after the Spurs scored 5 points in the beginning, due to various influences, their performance in singles was not good, and the shooting performance of the relief pitchers was also not good. Parker was 1 for 4, Ginobili was 1 for 4, and Bowen was 0 for 3.

, only Duncan hit 2 of 4 with a shooting percentage of 50%...the team only scored 12 points in a single quarter.
Chapter completed!
