I am the Warden Chapter 48: You said this is a point guard?
"Talent: Template. The host and Baron Davis were on the court at the same time for 3 minutes and 1 second. The host and Baron Davis faced each other for 3 minutes and 1 second. The host successfully defended Baron Davis: 1 time. The host scored a goal or got an assist under Baron Davis' defense: 3 times. The host got 5 rebounds and Baron Davis got 1 rebound... Activated bonus: Stamina +3. Temporary Stamina: 90."
When the system prompt appeared, his breathing became a little rapid, but he quickly calmed down.
It doesn't have the exaggerated effect of Kobe's "physical streak", which is not an appropriate description - from the original physical strength of 87, it changed to the temporary top-level physical strength of 90, and the current consumption ratio became smaller?
Baron Davis is very strong physically and likes to play against other teams. As the main attacking point and the top scorer this season, he averaged 41 minutes per game! His physical rating of 97 made Liu Xiu envious.
The first bonus that the "Template" gets is very suitable for him, but it's a pity that it's not a jumping bonus... although his playing style has nothing to do with jumping .
We played very hard in the past few minutes and were forced to rush for offensive rebounds, which naturally consumed a lot of energy.
5 rebounds and 3 assists, very good and powerful.
I never expected that he would score points with Baron Davis by relying on rebounds and assists...
Maurice Cheeks loves Liu Xiu so much!
This rookie has once again exceeded his goals!
The task he assigned to Liu Xiu was not to defend Baron Davis.
That's impossible. All-Star players have gone beyond the scope of one-on-one defense.
As long as Baron Davis is not allowed to break through unimpeded on the outside, it will be fine.
Liu Xiu also got defensive rebounds and assists, which is normal and is Liu Xiu's strength.
But the 4 offensive rebounds...although the 4 offensive rebounds were obtained in two rounds, there were points in both rounds!
The Hornets' twin towers, P.J. Brown and Magloire, are two double-double level inside players and both are very good at defense. In addition, George Lynch, who is slower but experienced, can deal with Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, but they have no spare energy to attack offensive rebounds.
Liu Xiu made up for this shortcoming!
I originally thought that I could just hold on to the score difference and not let it widen any further, but I didn't expect it to be caught up to 15 to 16. It seemed that the Hornets' morale, which was boosted by the impact of Baron Davis at the beginning of the game, was also exhausted.
The originally unfavorable away start was turned around by this rookie!
…
After the timeout, the double point guard combination of Xiao Feishu and Liu Xiu was substituted.
Ruben Patterson replaced Travis Outlaw, and Randolph and Rasheed Wallace continued to play.
On the Hornets side, the combination of Shammond Williams, Baron Davis, Stacey Augmon, Robert Traylor and Magloire came on the court.
Both veterans David Wesley and PJ Brown were replaced.
The aging of the main players is also one of the reasons for the Hornets' decline.
Liu Xiu originally thought that the Hornets would send out David West, but the Hornets replaced him with Tractor.
This player, at the height of his career, was traded by the Mavericks for Nowitzki.
The most impressive scene was when he hit McGrady, causing him to suffer permanent back injury.
However, looking at the tractor and the butcher's bodies, both of which were much larger when standing together, Liu Xiu could guess the other party's purpose.
The Hornets attack.
After David Wesley was substituted, Baron Davis immediately let himself go, forced a sudden stop, stepped back and made a long two-pointer... and it went in!
Liu Xiu defended very hard, but still failed.
The total comparison of the three main data immediately became 8 to 6.
"Rookie, can you...can you listen to me?"
Baron Davis wants to provoke the rookie, wants to compete with the rookie and then beat the rookie.
As a result, no matter how he played, this rookie had no intention of attacking.
Thinking back to his rookie season and looking at Liu Xiu, Baron Davis became even angrier!
Some players really don't need any stimulation to get healing points... Liu Xiu runs well and helps Xiao Feishu create singles opportunities.
The little flying mouse is already a mature tool man. At the right time and using the most suitable playing style for him now, he came up with a single breakthrough and made a quick stop jump shot from the free throw line!
When the Hornets started attacking, Baron Davis just advanced to the frontcourt and he wanted to hit Liu Xiu!
He had already imagined how he would score next, and was ready to make it a reality...
"What do you want to tell me?"
Liu Xiu's words reached Barron Davis' ears.
It's almost like whispering in someone's ear.
As soon as Baron Davis reached the three-point line, he was stuck to by Liu Xiu!
All the elegant scoring style was gone, and Baron Davis almost made a mistake.
At the point guard position, he has never encountered such a fierce opponent in static confrontation!
But the most important thing is not this, but - Liu Xiu's casual expression. The defensive method in the previous rounds was mainly based on standing in the right position, but he actually played this kind of defense!
Even the teammates who saw this scene were surprised!
Liu Xiu left a deep impression on his teammates and coaching staff - lazy.
He is not lazy on the court, but he is not that aggressive on defense either. He is always "just right" and is willing to engage in physical confrontation only out of necessity.
Tonight's Liu Xiu is a bit unconventional.
Yes! The teammates were sure that it was very unusual for him to be so aggressive in rebounding on the offensive end.
What do you want to say? What the hell is going on! Baron Davis tried to withdraw from the attack.
Baron Davis is a groundbreaking point guard. His approach to facing pressure defense is different from other point guards, but Liu Xiu started a crazy confrontation mode of pulling and dragging!
When the referee saw this defensive action, he felt as if he had returned to ten years ago. He felt a little nostalgic and did not blow the whistle.
Because Baron Davis was a tough bearded man, he didn't yell "Ah!" nor did he throw the ball into the air as if he was slapped in the face. Instead, he was just as active in confronting Liu Xiu.
If a foul is to be called, it's hard to say whether it should be an offensive foul or a defensive foul.
Despite being pulled and tugged, Baron Davis still managed to accelerate and advance. With his top-notch explosive power, first-class strength, and top-notch explosive acceleration... he got rid of Liu Xiu for half a second in the confrontation and got the opportunity to break through.
Liu Xiu turned around and chased after him, but Baron Davis stopped suddenly. It was too late for Liu Xiu to turn around... so he simply didn't turn around...
In such a confrontation, even if Baron Davis relied on his outstanding physical fitness and skills to get rid of Liu Xiu's defense, his quick stop jump shot still missed!
The ball hit the backboard and bounced high. Randolph blocked Robert Traylor and was about to grab the rebound... Liu Xiu ran back to the basket and grabbed the rebound before Randolph .
When Randolph grabs defensive rebounds, he usually stands in position and is often caught up in the rebound by his teammates.
After being shaken off by Baron Davis' sudden stop, Liu Xiu simply ran towards the basket without looking back. Anyway, he had faced enough resistance, and even if he rushed back, he would not be able to interfere.
After grabbing the rebound, Liu Xiu saw Robert Traylor rushing to grab the ball, so he immediately counterattacked!
The one who rushed to the frontcourt in the fast break was not Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu just passed the ball.
The Flying Squirrel was quick-witted and Shammond Williams failed to keep up. The Flying Squirrel received the ball in the frontcourt and made a layup.
19 to 18, the Trail Blazers overtook the Hornets by 1 point!
6 rebounds and 4 assists!
10 to 6! Liu Xiu once again widened the gap in the total of the three main data!
When the Hornets attacked, Baron Davis slowly advanced across half court, crossing the half court with 8 seconds left.
Looking at Liu Xiu standing on the three-point line, obviously breathing heavily, his expression still casual, but his narrowed eyes made Baron Davis feel full of malice.
Sure enough, as soon as he approached the three-point line, Liu Xiu came up to him! The same melee as in the previous round!
Baron Davis felt tired in the past few seconds!
First, he broke through and made a quick stop jump shot under Liu Xiu's melee defense, then he chased the flying mouse and launched a counterattack... After chasing the flying mouse and counterattacking, about 10 seconds later he continued to attack under Liu Xiu's melee defense!
"Come on, Beard, are you ready to lead you guys to lose again?"
There was another sound in his ear, and Baron Davis felt like he was going to explode, but! No matter how stupid he was, he could see that Liu Xiu was wearing him down, so he decided not to shoot from the outside, but to force a breakthrough!
Under Liu Xiu's close defense, Baron Davis broke into the basket, encountered Tianzun's double-team, and passed the ball... Magloire received the ball from mid-range at the baseline and made a jump shot!
This was basically a decision made by Baron Davis based on instinct, but sometimes instinct does work!
After all the hard work, a breakthrough pass can solve the problem...More shooters are better! From Shammond Williams to Magloire, they all have the ability to shoot, at least the ability to shoot from a fixed point.
The Hornets have been strong for more than a decade and have everything they want. Now the only problem is that the lineup is aging and there are more injuries.
The sigh only lasted for a moment. After Baron Davis scored the goal, Liu Xiu called his teammates and gave them a few instructions, then received the serve and moved forward.
Just like the previous round, Liu Xiu passed the ball to the Flying Squirrel across half court, and the Flying Squirrel played against Shammond Williams.
What Maurice Cheeks wanted, the Flying Squirrel did - hit the opponent's backup point guard!
The flying squirrel probably shook off the panicked Shammond Williams with just a glance, took a step sideways and shot a three-pointer...and it went in!
22 to 20, the Trail Blazers successfully reversed the score!
The offense and defense switched, the Hornets attacked, Baron Davis wanted to repeat the offense from the previous round, but the Trail Blazers began to shrink down the line!
Liu Xiu knew Magloire's shooting area very well. He received the ball and shot from a fixed spot one step within the free throw line on both sides of the baseline.
Shammond Williams received the ball in the high post, and the Flying Squirrel defended very hard in front. Stacey Augmon, who was also only able to catch and shoot the ball on both sides of the line, could only move to the high post.
The bearded man passed the ball, and Stacey Ogmon hesitated for a moment after receiving it, whether to go inside or shoot directly. At this time, Liu Xiu rushed out from the inside, and Stacey Ogmon quickly shot...
“Bang!”
Missed!
You talk about how lucky you are...Stacey Augmon's long two-point shot hit the basket head-on, bounced back and fell directly into Liu Xiu's hands!
Veteran Stacey Ogmon reacted quickly and immediately hugged Liu Xiu.
The Hornets had not yet reached the foul limit, and it was a beautiful tactical foul that blocked Liu Xiu and the Flying Squirrel's counterattack coordination.
But the Hornets were not so lucky.
In the next three rounds, the Flying Squirrel scored in two consecutive singles and only missed once. After tasting the sweetness of breaking through, Baron Davis continued to break through and missed twice out of three times of receiving the ball, and one time was intercepted by Liu Xiu.
The score suddenly became 26 to 20. The Trail Blazers not only overtook the score, but also widened the gap to more than 5 points!
It was Baron Davis himself who broke the ice in the end. He made a fierce breakthrough and scored, interrupting the Hornets' scoring drought and bringing the score to 22 to 26.
Then Reuben Patterson received a pass from Randolph and made a high-post jump shot.
Looking back, Tractor took advantage of the Trail Blazers' defensive rotation, squeezed out Tianzun who was switching defense next to him, and made a layup after receiving a pass from Baron Davis.
24 to 28, the difference was narrowed to 4 points again!
The game is at 11 minutes and 48 seconds!
This was the Trail Blazers' last attack, and probably also the last attack of the first quarter.
The Trail Blazers wanted to widen the gap to more than 5 points, but the Hornets naturally didn't want to agree.
After Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to the Flying Squirrel, he walked to the inside. Baron Davis left Liu Xiu open to double-team the Flying Squirrel!
This is a normal way of thinking - Liu Xiu made 0 of 2 shots in the first quarter, and both shots were made after grabbing offensive rebounds.
Even if Liu Xiu has the ability to shoot, if he doesn't take a shot for a quarter, his shooting feel will be very poor.
The Flying Squirrel did not show off his strength when he was double-teamed. He immediately passed the ball to Liu Xiu who ran into the three-point line, then ran around the top arc to contain Baron Davis.
On Liu Xiu's side...he received the ball and rushed to a position one step within the 30-degree angle of the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, and made a decisive stop jump shot!
Without any hesitation at all!
It is not Liu Xiu's style to not take the opportunity when it comes.
Whether or not to enter this kind of thing...
As long as your heart is strong enough!
...The main reason was that there was not enough time and no time to organize an offense. The moment Liu Xiu received the ball, he made what he thought was the best decision - to shoot!
As the ball began to fall, the long whistle ending the first quarter had already sounded.
Perhaps it was because his hands were completely cold, and the good condition brought by the perfect warm-up before the game was consumed by not shooting for more than half a quarter. Liu Xiu's mid-range pull-up jump shot that "just could shoot" hit the target!
30 to 24, the Trail Blazers once again widened the gap to 6 points!
With 9 points and 1 assist in half a quarter, the Flying Squirrel was the absolute hero that enabled the Trail Blazers to overtake the score and widen the gap in the second half of the first quarter.
After adjusting his positioning and the team creating a lineup specifically for him to play one-on-one, although the Flying Squirrel's shooting percentage is not very high, 42.2%, he can make an average of 2.3 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%!
He only takes 1.9 shots per game at close range, and has a hit rate of 42.2% with 10.6 shots per game, which is pretty good. More than 80% of his shots are mid-range and long-range!
However, the one who impressed people the most, even the fans of the visiting team, was not the flying squirrel, but Liu Xiu!
2 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal!
Who would have thought this was a point guard?
