Healing Basketball

   Chapter 616 616. The most expensive movement without the ball! (Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)

   The next day, January 20th, the first day of the Blazers' two rest days, the coaching staff did not arrange training, it was really a day off.

In the morning, Liu Xiu accompanied Anne Hathaway to school. After class, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway chatted about work and the team. Fortunately, Anne Hathaway has now become a basketball fan. I like talking about this with Liu Xiu.

"Last season, we had a 10-game winning streak, and before this season, we had a 10-game winning streak. When the two winning streaks were ended, I was very unwilling. Watching my teammates relieved the pressure, I both I want to give them a kick..." Liu Xiu's tone became obviously depressed after talking about it.

Anne Hathaway persuaded: "Now do you want to beat them again? Jayce, they have won 18 consecutive victories, and the winning streak is over. It is normal for your teammates to relax, and the pressure of winning streak is sure. It's very big, you are worried that they will be slack and careless, just supervise them well."

   Liu Xiu shook his head: "It's not like that."

"Um?"

"After the game yesterday, I felt that the burden was lifted, and it was me who took the pressure off. When they went back to the locker room, they were annoyed at what they did not do well, and they were very motivated. Now I think there is something wrong with me. Relaxed?"

  Anne-Hathaway looked at Liu Xiu's tangled appearance and couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered her mouth.

   After taking a deep breath and adjusting her expression, Anne Hathaway said: "You scored 52 points and lost last night. Of course they will feel annoyed and feel that they are holding you back."

   "Well...they are still very competitive."

   "Huh? Jess, you actually praise them? Every time I see you talking to your teammates, you're hurting them." Anne Hathaway was surprised.

   "Uh, of course you have to say bad things in person..."

  …

   After a day's rest, on the 21st, Liu Xiu arrived at the Rose Garden Arena before 8:00 in the morning, and continued with Ray Allen for extra training without the ball that was interrupted by 5 days and 4 games before.

  Stevenson didn't come to training this time. At present, it is the time when the players' physical strength and energy are the most consumed, and the arena rat also needs more rest.

  Ray Allen is not not tired, but he arrived early not for extra training, but for teaching, so he won't be too tired.

   had the foreshadowing of the previous two additional trainings. This time, he entered the formal training. Before the training started, Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

   "The Great Mage:

   Object of study: Ray Allen.

  Learning Objective: Comprehensive movement without the ball.

  Theoretical upper limit of training method: 95.

   You can consume 36000 healing points to start the fast learning mode, and quickly learn the training method. "

   Liu Xiu's eyes widened when she saw the last sentence!

   He wasn't stingy, he just chose to start fast learning, and saw that the healing value had dropped by more than half.

   It's just that he is quite puzzled. Is it so expensive to move without the ball at this unprecedented price?

   But once he started training, he felt it was worth the price.

  Ray Allen first taught not the movement itself, but a part of starting off the ball…-turning around to catch the ball in the confrontation.

   This is Ray Allen's most suitable technique for Liu Xiu. In his opinion, Liu Xiu's strength is strong enough, and his bounce speed is top-notch. Offensive offense should start with the simplest.

This needs to consider the passing ability of his teammates, but if Liu Xiu plays without the ball, either Randolph is the main offense, or Momoko is holding the ball. In these two cases, the teammates are not lacking in passing ability, so it is a suitable choice.

   In this confrontation, turning around to catch the ball and shoot the ball requires a high level of control over the details of turning technology, starting, exerting force, etc.

After the 40-minute extra practice, Liu Xiudan said to Ray Allen in pain: "It's too difficult, I didn't even finish a project in one morning, Ray, I really admire you, you actually really transformed from the core of the ball. To catch up with a shooting superstar."

  Ray-Allen was expressionless and spoke without emotion: "Ah? Is it..."

   "Huh? Ray, what are you doing with your head up?"

   "This ceiling is very beautiful, I'll take a second look."

   "Oh... I'm going to eat something first. I'm a little hungry. Do you want to eat?"

   "No, thank you."

   "As expected of the most self-disciplined player in our team... No, I think you are the most self-disciplined player in the entire NBA!"

   "Heh...thank you..."

   said thank you, but Ray Allen provided Liu Xiu with a wave of healing value growth.

  Although he knew that this guy's talent was ridiculously good, he could learn everything quickly.

   But it’s okay to attack with the ball. I didn’t expect this guy to be so talented without the ball!

  Is there any reason!

  …

   At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu attended a team meeting to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Nuggets.

After the    meeting was the preparation training. The morning training was over, and today’s backup preparations were over.

   The Nuggets came to Portland in the afternoon. As usual, Anthony came to Liu Xiu’s house for dinner and brought a lot of gifts to Liu Xiu’s parents.

   Off the court, Anthony was so prosperous that he was proud of his love, good investment returns, and gradually became famous in the fashion industry... But when he stepped into the court at 6:40 in the evening the next day, the little melon turned into a bitter melon.

   Opposite the prison team, 34 wins and 6 losses, their mining bandit team, 23 wins and 17 losses, the gap is not ordinary!

Averaged 30.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.1% from the field, 35.4% from three-point range, and 87% from the free throw line... Anthony's performance this season is better than last season, but his record is getting worse and worse. On the fringes of the top eight in the Western Conference, a little slack will fall out of playoff contention.

  Reason... When a rising team is paying off two main players, it's really hard for them to continue rising.

Woshan Leonard, who averaged 12.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last season, has three points, defense, passing, and excellent stability. .

   Nene will be reimbursed after one fight.

  The former is the starting shooting guard, and the latter is the team's No. 3 inside line. From the actual role of the court, Nene's role is actually stronger than this year's block king Camby, and it is no problem to say that the No. 2 inside line...

   At 7 p.m., the Blazers vs. the Nuggets kicked off.

The Trail Blazers didn't play well defensively in the beginning. The Nuggets scored 33 points in the first quarter. The offense also played poorly at the beginning, but after Ray Allen took more shots, the situation began to improve. He scored 11 points in the first half and 16 in the second half.

  Anthony scored 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the first quarter, leading the Nuggets to a 33-27 start.

   However, in the second quarter, Anthony took a half-quarter break + the number of shots and the shooting percentage became lower, and the Nuggets’ overall attack came down on their own.

   The three major insiders of the Nuggets, Nei Nei is the only one with a little bit of autonomous offensive ability, and has been reimbursed.

  Kenyon Martin and Camby both scored by eating pie.

On the outside, when Anthony is replaced or needs to rest on the court, only two point guards can score. Andre Miller is restrained by Liu Xiu and cannot play. Tonight, the only one on the outside who can share the pressure of singles offense for Anthony , only backup point guard Boykins.

   In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their offensive performance in the second half of the first quarter, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, while the Nuggets plummeted to 23 points in a single quarter.

   After halftime, the Blazers overtook the Nuggets 57-56 and entered halftime.

   In the third quarter, under the highly targeted defensive adjustment of George Karl, the Blazers’ performance fluctuated greatly. At one point, they trailed the Nuggets 60-68 and played a nightmare performance of 3-12.

Fortunately, in the middle of the third quarter, Momonga stood up, relying on the outside singles to drive Liu Xiu's flanking shots. Momonga scored 7 points and 3 assists, and Liu Xiu scored 6 points and 2 assists. The two led the team together and played in the third quarter. At the end, he helped the Blazers to tie the score at 81 to 81!

Relying on the flying squirrel to lead the team to turn the situation back, the Blazers rediscovered the feeling of the game. In the final quarter, Ray Allen scored 12 points in a single quarter, the flying squirrel scored 5 points in a single quarter, and Raheem scored 7 points... The Blazers scored a single quarter. 26 points, while limiting the Nuggets to only 23 points in a single quarter!

  Anthony went mad when he saw Liu Xiu and played extra hard. He made 14 of 31 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws and scored 37 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, but he still failed to lead his team to victory.

Liu Xiu made 8 of 16 shots, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals; Ray Allen made 11 of 23 shots, including 6 of 11 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, Get 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block; plus Randolph's 10 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, Momo's 15 points, Kwame Brown's 11 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocks... The Blazers won 107 104 narrowly beat the Nuggets and won the 35th victory of the season!

  …

   The offense is not good, and the defense is not good. I want to take care of the two, but the result is that there is no match.

   Fortunately, the three-point king and Momomoko are strong, and the two scored 48 points together.

   Kwame Brown, who had been absent for a period of time, came back and adapted to a game, and played well tonight, but the front line was not very good.

   In other words, my brother's physical strength is not the top group in society, and it will be further affected in the middle of the season, otherwise this game will have to be explained again.

The morning after beating the Nuggets, Liu Xiu went to the arena early to have a small meeting with the coaches, and he made an immature suggestion - "Should we try to play offensive basketball? Put the defense down for now? "

  Maurice-Cheeks directly refused: "No!"

  Liu Xiu was surprised. He thought it would be the vice president, Bu Shuai, and Huo Tuzhong who refused, or all three of them. The always bold coach should agree.

   But as a result, the coach refused directly without waiting for others to express their opinions.

  Liu Xiu asked: "Why? Our current physical condition is not enough to support our stability on both ends of offense and defense."

The coach replied: "Yes, but the more so, the more we need to persevere. Once the defensive habit is given up, it will be very difficult to regain it. There are only 11 games until the All-Star weekend break. 11 games to give up the defensive habit, it may take us 22, 33 games to get it back!"
