I am the Warden Chapter 50 Big Brother's Comfort
"Learned it? You're just imitating... Can you please listen to me finish my words!"
Baron Davis immediately retorted, but Liu Xiu turned and ran away. He chased Liu Xiu and wanted to fight back with words.
"I want to compete. I don't have time to listen to you."
Liu Xiu responded with disdain.
"Healing value +17, from Baron Davis."
Although the fans at the scene could not hear what Liu Xiu said, they probably guessed it after watching his singles moves. For a moment, boos broke out in the stadium.
Liu Xiu said he disliked it, but he felt that this method of changing direction in front of the body was very useful!
Because the bonus must be effective, the system adjusted the technical details according to his actual situation. The large change of direction just now relied on inertia to make up for his lack of explosive power and inability to complete such a change of direction. And during the current bonus period, the technical details were naturally made...
"The title of genius: ... skills to be demonstrated: front-body change of direction (completed), quick stop jump shot (completed)."
System prompts come, these two technical demonstrations have been completed!
Because these two techniques happened to be a combo, when the opportunity came, he chose to take a chance and solve it in one go.
The Hornets were on offense, and just as Shammond Williams crossed half court, he saw Baron Davis leaning against Liu Xiu outside the arc and reaching out for the ball.
The new boss seemed to be getting angry again, but he was not David Wesley, so he dared not refuse.
Baron Davis held the ball and played one-on-one. He broke through Liu Xiu's physical confrontation, changed direction, and made a quick stop jump shot... He wanted to show Liu Xiu what a real quick stop jump shot was... A minute ago, Baron Davis insisted on not making a mid-range or long-range shot immediately after the confrontation with Liu Xiu unless necessary... "Bang"...
When the sound of iron was heard, Liu Xiu had already retreated to close distance, Randolph was in position, and Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound!
Fight back!
At the same time, the Hornets were better prepared to defend against counterattacks, but the Trail Blazers were also more familiar with counterattacks. The flying squirrel was quick, Reuben Patterson followed up to contain him, Liu Xiu passed the ball... Tianzun received the ball on the wing and jumped up on the right sideline of the three-second zone, lifting the ball straight up...
Statue of Liberty-style fast break dunk!
56 to 51, the difference is 5 points again!
Then Baron Davis refused to believe in evil and once again missed the quick stop jump shot after a fierce fight!
He was impatient and had no sense of rhythm. He shot in a hurry after the confrontation. His muscles were still tense when he shot and he had no feel for the ball. He was also unlucky, and the ball bounced off the rim without any pattern...Liu Xiu was lucky, as he was a little slow in pulling it back this time, but the ball bounced high!
The tractor's ability is not strong, but with its 129 kilograms of tonnage, Randolph tried his best to block the opponent, and Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound again!
There was no chance to counterattack this time and the game fell into a positional battle. With time running out, Liu Xiu immediately passed the ball to the Flying Mouse when he reached the frontcourt.
Baron Davis's impatience formed a sharp contrast with Liu Xiu's calmness in making correct decisions. Baron Davis himself felt it, and he also felt that he was not good at this, but!
Once he gets the ball, even if he knows all this, he will still play the way he wants.
Call it self-confidence or stubbornness, if a habit can be easily changed, it is no longer a habit.
In the last attack of the first half, the flying squirrel broke through the basket alone. The whole breakthrough and the way into the basket were very smooth. Unfortunately, when he got to the basket, he couldn't see where the basket was. He threw it out according to his feeling in the confrontation. Fortunately, he was not blocked, but it didn't go in...
With the Flying Squirrel's failed breakthrough shot, the Trail Blazers went into the halftime break with a 5-point lead at the end of the first half.
When Liu Xiu walked off the court, Travis Outlaw once again turned into a fanboy and rushed into the court to ask for a high five: "Oh, Jace, you are so awesome, you actually learned the pull-up jump shot from the bearded guy!"
Every time Liu Xiu demonstrated his ability in this area, the outlaws could not control the urge to become his fanboy.
Liu Xiu shook his head and replied: "I haven't learned it, I just imitated it, which can't be considered as learning it."
The bearded man who was pretending to walk towards the technical desk but was actually eavesdropping calmed down a little.
He can even speak human language!
The little flying mouse rushed out: "But your pull-up jump shot looks more accurate than Baron Davis! You made both pull-up jump shots! And you can imitate a lot of details just by imitating, I saw it."
Although he didn't score in the last attack of the half, the breakthrough was very satisfying, and the team was leading. Even though the flying squirrel didn't score, he still felt that his breakthrough was very cool.
Since he is so handsome, just praise the rookie!
"Because he and I are similar in body shape, I can learn faster and use it right away. I can't use your breakthrough even if I learn it. Layup skills need time to be integrated into my layup."
"Of course you can't learn my breakthrough, but you don't need to be discouraged because I'm too fast!"
"I definitely can't be faster than you. You are really unbelievably fast."
"Of course!"
The little flying squirrel responded proudly, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. However, the other party was telling the truth, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
On the other side, Baron Davis pricked up his ears and eavesdropped for a while, the sound gradually faded away, and the other party walked towards the visiting team's player tunnel.
Baron Davis was very unhappy with what the little flying squirrel said.
But he heard a message - Liu Xiu seemed to be able to learn anything well just by taking a look!
He didn't believe it! How could he have such talent? But thinking about his change of direction and breakthrough being imitated by Liu Xiu... he had to believe it!
…
The situation was completely turned around before halftime, and the atmosphere in the Trail Blazers locker room was very warm.
Kevin Pritchard was in a good mood and said to Liu Xiu, "Jace, if you are hungry, eat during the halftime break. It is not a good idea to eat a box lunch on the spot."
Liu Xiu touched his belly and replied, "Coach, you are right!"
Then……
Kevin Pritchard looked at Liu Xiu with a frown on his face as he took out his backpack, first took out a wet wipe to wipe his hands, and then took out a lunch box... He really started eating the lunch box!
"Coach, do you want some too? I still have some."
"Thank you! No thanks! Take your time eating!"
The world is such a beautiful place, why does our coach always look so bitter and resentful?
Lunch boxes and other things were quickly finished in two minutes, and Liu Xiu received a system prompt.
"The host consumes the all-purpose nutritious lunch box. After the second half of the game begins, he will temporarily gain a stamina bonus of 100% to 75%. After the bonus stamina is consumed, the stamina will return to the state it should be at the end of the halftime break."
"Sure enough, the halftime break is also considered as the game period."
Finding system bugs is always fun, but it doesn't matter if you don't find any.
"Template: I am the Jailer series of tasks. ... During the matchup: Host: 4 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists. Baron Davis: 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists..."
10 rebounds and 6 assists, but only 4 points. Liu Xiu himself was speechless.
After a few minutes of free time, all the team members returned to the lounge.
Liu Xiu had the strength to work after eating, so Morris Cheeks decided to let him continue playing.
In terms of tactical adjustments, the main lineup stage is still centered around the double tower offense, and the rotation stage is still centered around the singles of the Flying Squirrel.
Maurice Cheeks leaned towards Liu Xiu in terms of playing time and encouraged Liu Xiu a lot, but the adjustments at the tactical level were very calm.
Liu Xiu was also very satisfied with this arrangement.
After Morris Cheeks completed the arrangement, Liu Xiu's system prompt also came.
“Talent: Template.
The host and Baron Davis were on the court at the same time for 13 minutes and 21 seconds. The host and Baron Davis were in a position to face each other for 12 minutes and 46 seconds.
…
Activated bonuses:
Physical Fitness: Stamina +5, Speed +2 (limit), Bounce +5. The host's temporary stamina is 92, temporary speed is 89, and temporary bounce is 79.
Skills: Change of direction in front of the body (84), pull-up jump shot (79), step-over attack (off-ball cut) (85).
Basic skills: mid-range shots +10, layups +1. Host's temporary mid-range shots: 80, temporary layups: 91. "
As the matchup time gets longer, as Liu Xiu gets more data in the matchup with Baron Davis, and as he even surpasses Baron Davis, the bonus becomes more and more intense!
And the reminder for additional tasks has also arrived!
“The Name of Genius: I am the Warden series of tasks. …Skills to be demonstrated: Change of direction in front of the body (completed), pull-up jump shot (completed), wing without the ball to attack the basket.”
"This guy can also play without the ball? Oh! It seems so. He scored a cut in the second quarter."
…
After the halftime break, the Hornets replaced the double point guard combination of David Wesley and Baron Davis, and replaced the frontcourt with Steve Smith, David West and Magloire.
On the Trail Blazers side, the combination of Jeff McGinnis, Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Dale Davis and Rasheed Wallace came on the court.
The Hornets attacked first.
Baron Davis held the ball and attacked, and Liu Xiu was still defending.
West, the rookie power forward, has outstanding pick-and-roll ability. On the wing, David Wesley sets a pick-and-roll without the ball. Baron Davis breaks through and passes the ball. The target of the pass is not David Wesley who uses the pick-and-roll without the ball, but West!
Rookie power forward West received the ball in the high position and made a jump shot!
Give the team a big brother to lead the team to take off, and let Baron Davis calm down and cooperate well.
This ball seemed to be a cooperation of three people. Liu Xiu saw that there was actually Magloire's baseline movement and Steve Smith's sideline control.
In the crucial third quarter, the Hornets seemed to be planning to start from the offensive end!
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Jeff McGinnis was closely defended by David Wesley.
With good stickiness, awareness and footwork, David Wesley did not give Jeff McGinnis the opportunity to use his height advantage.
Jeff McGinnis broke into the paint and passed the ball to Dale Davis, who was about to dunk... but was blocked!
The bullet speed is too slow!
Baron Davis was very smart this time and he definitely received instructions during the halftime break. He blocked Liu Xiu when the Trail Blazers player shot, but the ball was grabbed by Steve Smith who was pulling it back.
Liu Xiu’s first reaction – the adjustments made during this halftime break, the rotation selection and strategy of Morris-Cheeks were not good enough.
If Randolph was on the court, the result would definitely be different.
and……
When the Hornets attacked, Magloire cut in from the baseline, received the ball and made a layup!
55 to 56, the Hornets narrowed the gap to 1 point right from the start!
Although the Trail Blazers sent out Dale Davis and Tianzun, the team's strongest inside defensive combination, they were unable to defend when the Hornets gave up their inside defensive twin towers and played offensive basketball!
The cooperation of Baron Davis, David Wesley and West, plus the two receiving points of Magloire and Steve Smith, without considering the defense, the offense is really fierce!
This lineup and this style of play activated Baron Davis!
It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack. After Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, he used the tactical gestures that the Flying Squirrel often used...one-on-one from the outside!
The teammates were all surprised, but among the players on the field, unless it was Tianzun who played singles, it seemed that no one else was better than Liu Xiu in singles.
Tianzun’s current task is to defend and create space on the offensive end, and he has no time to take care of singles.
Just...one-on-one play from the outside?
Although confused, the teammates still pulled away.
Liu Xiu pulled sideways in advance and forced his way past Baron Davis!
When his teammates saw this, they remembered that Liu Xiu had just made a bearded breakthrough in the first half!
Baron Davis retreated directly to the free throw line.
Although the bearded man's defense cannot be said to be excellent, it is close to the excellent level and his awareness is good. Judging from Liu Xiu's first two shots, they were all due to luck. The rhythm of his shots and the control of his sudden jump during dribbling were as poor as possible. The second shot hit the angle between the backboard and the basket neck and bounced in.
As long as you don’t leave the free throw line, the fixed point that everyone practices every day, fine... bullshit!
Baron Davis watched Liu Xiu use a similar move as him, taking a long two-point shot from the front between the three-point line and the free throw line, and it actually went in!
58 to 55, Liu Xiu helped the Trail Blazers stop the bleeding.
"Brother Hu Zi, I was wrong. I think your move is very useful. If our team wins tonight, I will develop my future outside singles around this move!"
Liu Xiu spoke so fast that by the time Baron Davis could react, the other person had already retreated.
Trash talk!
It must be trash talk!
However, from the tone of Liu Xiu's voice, Baron Davis seemed to be really intending to do so!
Even with the phrase "if...development", Baron Davis felt that the other party was serious!
Baron Davis felt extremely annoyed!
David Wesley, who received the serve, passed the ball to Baron Davis and said, "He imitates you, which is great. It proves that you are better than him, so he will imitate you, right?"
Big Brother’s comfort works!
Baron Davis immediately became excited and pushed forward to the frontcourt. The happy Baron Davis was quick-thinking.
Pass the ball, cut in, pull sideways, run back... Baron Davis cut in from the wing, received the pass from West on the right side of the three-second zone, and jumped with one step!
Although Dale Davis pulled back, Baron Davis rushed up, received the ball and jumped at this position. Dale Davis couldn't withstand it, and Baron Davis slammed the ball into the basket through Dale Davis!
