Healing Basketball

   Chapter 618 618. The lore of the little emperor! (5000 words)

"Although Paul is not the warden's opponent, his athletic ability will bring a lot of trouble to the warden. He has good skills, far beyond his peers, and he has a tough character. You can see him and the warden every time. The progress in long fights...it's just that the warden's progress seems to be faster.

  Felton, is he kidding? In the fourth quarter, it was not so much his game quotient, which led to the wrong choice of play, but rather that he did not have a clear self-awareness.

   This point is Felton is not as good as Williams, Williams may not be as strong as Felton, but he knows what he should do, Felton actually tried to imitate James to shoot three-pointers against the warden..."

  The morning after playing the Raptors, Liu Xiu watched a basketball program from T.N.T Sports while watching TV.

   Focusing on the performance of the three talented rookie point guards against Liu Xiu, after each team played 41 games, the performance of each rookie was analyzed.

   is diss Felton, is the flying pig.

  Fliggy's analysis and comments are very interesting, and Liu Xiu is very excited.

   It’s the 2005 class. Compared with the 2004 class and the 2003 class, the gap is still quite big.

  The No. 1 draft pick Bogut did not perform well. After entering the NBA, it seems that his talent is not top-notch. Half a season has passed, and now his expectations have been adjusted to become a blue-collar center who averages a double-double per game.

   On the contrary, it is Bynum of the Rockets, who seems to have a burst of talent. He is 18 years old, 120 kilograms, able to jump and jump. He averaged 20 minutes per game and scored 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.

Marvin Williams, who the Bobcats selected in the second position, was not successful, and his offensive performance was broken. It was his defense that was not valued in college. After entering the NBA, he did a good job, switching between the three and four positions seamlessly. The defensive ability of the 2nd and 5th positions can be barely guarded.

At present, the best insiders in the 2005 class are the Bucks' browless hero Villanueva and the Knicks' pitching forward Channing Frye. 12 points and 7 rebounds, the latter averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds.

  The best outsiders in the 2005 class were naturally the three most talented point guards.

When   Fliggy evaluates the three talented point guards, he uses his warden as a reference, and it seems that one is really worse than the other.

   Xiaopao encountered the warden very miserably, and Xiaopang encountered the warden even worse.

   But when Xiaofa meets the warden, people know what it means to be miserable!

Although    is a very subjective evaluation, Liu Xiu thinks that Barkley is still very professional.

Liu Xiu recalled, Delong and Fatton, the two currently play the same way, Delong's skills are better, but not much better, Feton is stronger and has more experience in the game, but he is not. Much better.

But Deron believes that he is an auxiliary player. With Kobe there, there is no need for him to compete with the opponent... It also has something to do with his teammates. He does not need to bear the pressure. It is impossible for someone like Kobe to throw the ball with 3 seconds left in an attack. For a rookie, Delong can't beat Liu Xiu but he can hide.

  Fatton's standard eyes are high and low, and occasionally he looks down on Deron in interviews. He only has Paul in his eyes, but his skills are not as good as Paul's and his IQ is not as good.

   Liu Xiu's defense is good at confrontation, affecting the opponent's shooting, and interfering with breakthroughs.

   Liu Xiu is a pity, the three talented point guards, currently only Xiaopao can bring him tasks, Xiaochuan is still tender, Xiaofei... At present, it seems that the upper limit of talent is not high.

  …

   After a morning break, the Trail Blazers gathered in the afternoon to prepare for the game against the Cavaliers tomorrow.

   After the preparation training, Liu Xiu continued to learn off-ball offense from Ray Allen.

During the study, Liu Xiu discovered a misunderstanding. He used to regard 'attack with the ball' and 'attack without the ball' as two styles of play, but now he finds that the two actually overlap in many places. Offense is also improving.

It's like turning around and starting skills. In this regard, Ray Allen seems to be better than Randolph, but they are two very different starting methods, giving Liu Xiu's back and breakthrough to connect the back start. Brings inspiration and direction for improvement.

  It's January 26th, the game day when the Blazers play the Cavaliers at home.

   Liu Xiu and James played against each other for the first time in the new season, and the attention was quite good. The game was broadcast live on many TV stations.

   Playing against the Son of America, the "favorite" reports that have been hard to get since the middle of the season are gone, and all kinds of news comparing James' advantages and Liu Xiu's disadvantages seem to spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain...

   Liu Xiu didn't have time to pay attention to these news, train hard, prepare well, and now he has to do his best every night.

   At 8 p.m., the Blazers faced the challenge of the Cavaliers at home.

   To play against James, Liu Xiu chose to copy Payton's "blocking flow"; opponent, this time Liu Xiu chose to copy James...

"... Opponent: LeBron James, matching degree 45%, random talent: invincible (residual blood), bonus effect: when rushing into the inside line to hit the basket, strength +1, layup +1, bounce +1, slightly improve the referee the whistle blowing favorability.”

  Tonight the Cavaliers sent the starting lineup of Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z.

  The Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

  After the start of the game, James played an incredible performance. He broke into the inside line for 3 consecutive rounds at the beginning and caused a foul. He got 6 free throws and all of them were made.

but!

   These three goals, although the referee really gave the whistle, but it is not a matter of a day or two that James can use such footsteps. The Blazers players have long been used to it, so it is really a problem of defense itself.

   Randolph blocked two consecutive fouls at the start. After McDyess replaced Randolph, McDyess also slowed down a bit, forming a defensive movement confrontation, and was fouled by James.

   In these three rounds, it can be said that Liu Xiu's excellent breakthrough guidance was in vain.

   Randolph was knocked down at the beginning, the Blazers offense was greatly affected, and the defense was broken because of the lineup rotation, which caused a big problem.

   After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers lost 12 points 18-30 in a single quarter!

  The Trail Blazers scored 18 points in the first quarter. James made 5 of 9 shots, including 1 of 1 from three-pointers, plus 7 of 10 free throws, soaring 18 points! One person tied the Blazers!

   In the second quarter, the state of the Trail Blazers fluctuated greatly. It seems that because of the warm-up in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers defended in the second quarter!

In the second quarter, Randolph's baseline movement returned to his usual agility, and Kwame Brown finally had a reliable teammate to defend the basket. Next to James, "Two steps, two more steps" one by one, James was very annoying.

Stevenson, Randolph, and Kwame Brown's siege-style defense. James, who scored 18 points in the first quarter, fell off a cliff in the second quarter. He made 1 of 6 shots in a single quarter and only scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 3 Assisted 1 block.

   Although the Trail Blazers only scored 20 points in the second quarter, they also lowered the Cavaliers' score to only 21 points.

   After the first half, the Blazers tightened the score and trailed the Cavaliers by 13 points 38-51 into the second half.

  The defense is up, the team that started the second half, it's the Blazers' turn!

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 24 points in a single quarter and limited the Cavaliers to 20 points. In this quarter, Liu Xiu made 3 of 7 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points and 3 rebounds; James 1 of 3 shots, a 3-pointer, plus 2 of 2 free throws, got 5 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 62-71, narrowing the point difference to 1. digits!

In the final quarter, the Blazers' defense got better and better, and they caught the Cavaliers' loopholes better and better. In the final quarter, Larry Hughes and James played at the same time for more than 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, the Cavaliers played. The team only scored 10 points and was beaten by the Blazers 24 to 10!

   During this period, Liu Xiu made 1 of 4 shots, plus 6 of 6 free throws to get 8 points, and Ray Allen scored 2 three-pointers to get 6 points!

   After this climax, the Trail Blazers overtook the Cavaliers by 5 points 86-81!

   Seeing that the score was overtaken, James was anxious, and after calling a timeout, he directly grabbed the tactical board and changed the tactics.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers' backup point guard Damon Jones and shooting power forward Donyell Marshall hit three-pointers in succession, beating the Blazers 6-0, and the Cavaliers overtook the Blazers 87-86 by 1. Minute!

   21 seconds left!

Facts have proved that indeed Larry Hughes and James should not be on the court at the same time. Both of them are rushing players without a basket, and neither has the ability to run off the ball. But Larry Hughes came to the Cavaliers to get it. The contract is a max salary. This is only the first year, and the Cavaliers' money is spent on the knife.

  After the score was overtaken, the Blazers called a timeout to arrange tactics and replaced the combination of Momo, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, McDyess, and Randolph.

  The Cavaliers replaced the combination of Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Ira Newbell, and Gooden after the suspension came back.

   In the last attack, Momonga received the ball and faced James' defense, pulling away to consume time.

   The Blazers' perimeter trio, the Cavaliers can only defend hard one-on-one.

   When there were 10 seconds left in the countdown, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen started to move, and when there were 6 seconds left, Momo started to break through.

   Liu Xiu was closely followed by Larry Hughes.

After a game, Liu Xiu knows why Larry Hughes and James are so incompatible. Cavaliers coach Mike Brown still starts Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes, who just took a defense last season Defense is not for nothing.

   So far this season, the Cavaliers can achieve a record of 27 wins and 16 losses, and have the strength to impact 55 wins. They rely on defense, averaging 94.9 points per game and 91 points per game!

   However, because Larry Hughes defended so well, Liu Xiu still found an opportunity.

   When Liu Xiu moved to the left side of the free throw line, McDyess tacitly moved in place in advance, blocking Larry Hughes, and Liu Xiu ran to the top arc with a screen.

Although James switched defense and rushed towards Liu Xiu for the first time, the top arc is the area farthest from the basket. After the breakthrough, Ray Allen stood on the right sideline and pulled away. This place was blocked by the Cavaliers. The team ignored it, and Momomoka, who was on the right side of the three-second zone, seized the opportunity to send the ball to Liu Xiu.

  Liu Xiu received the ball, raised his hand, and James, who jumped up, jumped up, Liu Xiu took the ball back and dribbled to avoid James, and the long two-point shot that entered the three-point line...

The final whistle sounded 0.5 seconds after the ball left Liu Xiu's hand.

   With a long whistle, the ball falls into the box!

   The referee confirmed through playback that the ball had left Liu Xiu's hand when the whistle sounded.

  88 to 87, relying on Liu Xiu's two-pointer at the buzzer, the Trail Blazers completed a big reversal from a 12-point deficit at the start!

  …

  From the time the suspension came back, the cheers of the fans on the scene did not stop.

   After Liu Xiu completed the buzzer lore, he detonated the scene. Long after the final whistle sounded, the fans were still cheering wildly.

  James was fooled by Liu Xiu's shot.

  Although Liu Xiu has scored 27 points in the first 41 minutes of playing time, he only scored 27 points with 7 of 20 shots and 13 free throws.

   In the end, when they were 1 point behind, the fans were still shouting "Warden" frantically, and Liu Xiu really made a lore at the buzzer!

   8 of 21 shots, including 0 of 5 three-pointers, plus 13 of 14 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!

   At the last moment, James was caught up by Liu Xiu even in his personal score! He also scored 29 points tonight...

   After dealing with the events after the game, Liu Xiu went home to sleep, and after entering the simulation training mode, he analyzed the game with a high level of calm thinking.

   The main analysis is definitely James.

From the start of 5-of-9 shooting and scoring 18 points, to 9-for-26 shooting, including 2-for-9 3-pointers, plus 9-for-14 free throws, James scored 29 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. Describe what it means to open high and walk low.

   In terms of technology, Liu Xiu couldn't see how much progress James had made.

   But as the body gradually matures, James uses his physical fitness better and better, and the game experience becomes more and more rich... Change to a team with a weak inside line, James can overwhelm the opponent with a few pitchers alone!

   In the first quarter, their Trail Blazers scored 18 points by James in a single quarter. It was because of the foul that the inside defense was sparse and could only shrink. James sent a lot of good passes to the outside.

   However, that's it, once Kwame Brown returned to the basket to guard, or gave Kwame Brown a center who could normally defend at the basket, James wilted, and only 4 of 17 shots in the next three quarters.

   And James scored 18 points in the first quarter, and there was an unexpected situation where the free throw was amazing.

  James's free throws confuse Liu Xiu. He had a 76% shooting rate in his rookie year and 69% this season.

   The Cavaliers are most interested in Liu Xiu, or Larry Hughes, the new top salary swingman.

  It’s really a pity. Last season, Larry Hughes, who was 25 to 26 years old, averaged 22 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.9 steals per game.

By this season, the data plummeted to an average of 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. There is really only defense... But with a big contract of 75 million US dollars, Liu Xiu estimates that Larry Hughes will choose to take this money even if he knows the ending. , after all, only the Cavaliers will give such a large contract.

  Although it was thrilling, the game was almost won.

  The quest about the buff fragments of 'Prisoner' was not triggered in this game, which made Liu Xiu slightly disappointed...

   After defeating the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers improved their record to 37 wins and 6 losses. After a day off, on January 28, the Blazers faced the challenge of the Heat at home.

   The warden has just killed KING, and the Blazers team is like a rainbow!

   After a day of preparation, Liu Xiu and his teammates were ready to fight against a strong enemy... Then they lost 31 points to the Heat at halftime, 18-35 in the first quarter and 20-34 in the second quarter!

  Pat Riley seized the pain point of the Blazers and launched a targeted attack!

   God operator found that the speed of the Blazers entering the state was very slow recently, and it was getting slower and slower, so he didn't care about anything else, and did his best in the first half! Reckless kind!

   In the first half, Wade scored 19 points on 7 of 11 shots and O'Neal scored 18 points on 8 of 12 shots. Their combined score was only 1 point less than the Blazers!

  As expected, the Blazers began to counterattack after returning from the final break. At this time, the Heat played very weak because of the excessive output in the first half, and could only try their best to resist.

   Relying on Liu Xiu's 6 points and 4 assists and Ray Allen's 8 points, the Trail Blazers scored 29-20 in the third quarter, reducing the point difference to 22 points.

   The Trail Blazers even scored 32 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, limiting the Heat to 19 points and narrowing the difference by 13 points.

   The Trail Blazers made a 61-39 counterattack in the second half!

   But the Heat accumulated a big enough lead in the first half. In the end, with Wade's 31 points and O'Neal's 30 points, the Heat held the victory 108-99! Improve the record to 28 wins and 16 losses, while giving the Blazers their 7th loss of the season!

  …

  …

  The end of January has finally come to the end of the mid-season.

   After playing against the Heat, the Blazers had a day off on the 29th, and Liu Xiu also had a good rest. On the 30th, he came to the Rose Garden Arena before 8 a.m. to learn how to run without the ball from Ray Allen.

There is a complete training day, Liu Xiu will practice one more group in the morning, and only half a day of training, so she will train two more groups after the training. Ray Allen still didn't follow along this time, and was only responsible for guiding and explaining, of course, technical movements. It's up to Ray Allen to do it himself.

   After the 40-minute training session, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen sat and drank drinks at the training ground to take a break, and they were about to go to the home team's training ground.

   Ray Allen, who had been calm and calm during training, was a little restless at this time and said to Liu Xiu: "Warden, we are going to play against the Lakers tomorrow."

   "Yes," Liu Xiu answered and asked, "what's the matter?"

Aware that he was a little gaffe, Ray Allen regained his indifferent look and said, "Yesterday I saw the news discussing your 76 points and Kobe's 80 points again. When I went out in the morning, I saw that the newspaper was also talk about this."

   Liu Xiu suddenly felt a little pain in her eggs, and said helplessly: "Then what? Lei, you have something to say."

  Ray-Allen's expression couldn't be controlled again, and he asked in a slightly hasty tone: "Will the score be so high tomorrow?"

   Liu Xiu: "…"

   The group of scorers from the Pan-96 generation were really stunned by the great gods this year!
