Healing Basketball

   Chapter 81 81. The opponent is the template! (For the 4th update, ask for a monthly ticket!)

   Tonight Liu Xiu actually played a lot of time and made a lot of shots. He made 9 shots, but only 3 of 9 shots.

   It's mainly 3 three-pointers with big gaps, all iron.

   But Liu Xiu threw it regardless of whether he was iron or not, when he received the ball in the big gap and there was no better chance to pass it out.

   Although there is no score, there is one benefit - the team's offense runs smoothly.

   No matter if he gets in or not, he is so confident in his shots.

  This was encouraged by Kevin Pritchard during timeouts, breaks, to make sure he was right to think it was the right thing to do.

  The game itself...

   In the game with the Mavericks, before Liu Xiu played, he was looking forward to a good fight with a man with fluttering hair from the Mavericks, but this game was Randolph's time to show his power, and he was just a little helper.

   But let’s not say, that’s what he imagined his rookie season would look like before the season started.

  Not scoring in double figures is always a sad thing. The single-game scoring record in his career has never been lower than 10 points, and it will be broken so soon...

   It was the Mavericks' performance tonight that opened Liu Xiu's eyes!

  Liu Xiu knew that the Mavericks had a bad run-in, but they didn't expect it to be so bad!

  Jamison took the initiative to apply to the bench after playing two starts, allowing Nowitzki to return to the position of power forward.

  Many people say that Anthony Walker can play a small forward, Jamison plays a backup, Dirk Nowitzki plays a power forward, how good, three rotations.

   However, it is true that Anthony Walker can play a small forward, and he is playing the position of a small forward, but his attacking area and attacking method are almost the same as Nowitzki!

  Which area does Nowitzki want to attack, Anthony Walker also needs that position, what kind of tactical role Nowitzki needs, Anthony Walker also needs, and needs more!

   Not only that, but Jamison is also in the same situation.

   No matter how the three of them rotate, as long as the two of them play, this is the case.

   And the three of them are all in the golden period of their careers, and it is impossible for them to think of changing their style of play for the other two teammates.

   In the peak period, it is impossible to fight for a big contract and change the style of play to be a supporting role.

  Don't say, old Nelson really did a bit of work for the Mavericks. Liu Xiu saw the prototype of the five-player singles strategy tonight...

  …

   After the game with the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers came to New Orleans on the south coast on the morning of the 16th the next day.

  Although it has entered winter, the city is still warm. Although it is not as warm as Orlando, Miami, and Phoenix, the three warmest cities with NBA teams, it is much better than Portland, which is clammy and cold in winter.

   This time, my aunt came to live in Portland, and my uncle was coming soon. Liu Xiu was going to let my uncle and aunt set up the hot pot equipment. Then, regardless of whether the two were there, the cutest little sister in the world can make hot pot!

   It's just that this beautiful and rich tourist city will be destroyed in a few years. Liu Xiu has some regrets.

A natural disaster such as typhoon and hurricane is more helpless than most other natural disasters, because typhoon and hurricane can be predicted in advance, and countries that are capable of detecting them in modern society can detect them, and then... watch the city suffer. Destroyed, can only find ways to reduce the loss, but unable to do any resistance.

   But this has nothing to do with him...

   When we got to the hotel, Liu Xiu was going to sleep for a while. Today is another lazy day. In the afternoon, I will study the Hornets again. There is a knock on the door.

   Liu Xiu opened the door, saw the visitor, and asked, "Chris, what's the matter?"

  Chris Irving, a very famous personal shooting coach hired by the Blazers.

   "Jace, the head coach asked me to bring it to you, I live next door to you, you can come to me if you want to train."

  Chris Owen waited for two seconds before he heard a thank you...

   "Healing value +69, from Chris Owen."

  Looking at the shooting coach who was a little angry, Liu Xiu was very satisfied, a very good experience baby is developing...

  The trainer and coach, after entering the NBA, have been regarded as a great healer by him!

  The college coach is bigger than the sky, Liu Xiu dare not take the initiative to tease, but in the NBA, as long as it does not violate morals, keep the bottom line and tease it, there is no problem.

   Liu Xiu knew that Chris Irving wanted to teach him shooting.

   All players on the team attach great importance to the time they receive under the guidance of Chris Irving. People only work a few hours a day, and they have to line up.

Of course, you can hire a personal trainer of the same level, but the weekly salary usually starts at tens of thousands of dollars. These famous personal trainers also have the shortest training time limit, usually 6-8 weeks. If you hire yourself once, it is a matter of tens of thousands of dollars. .

   And training, naturally there are other costs.

  Maximum-paid players choose personal trainers, they all have to consider carefully. It will hurt to ask top-level personal trainers for middle-class contracts, and ordinary players don’t even think about it.

  Chris Irving was hired by Paul Allen with a million-dollar annual salary. There are players in the Blazers who don’t earn as much as Chris Irving.

   But Liu Xiu never had an appointment with Chris Owen for training!

   After a long time, Chris Owen had resentment, and then it became obsession... This is related to basketball, and Liu Xiu's healing value is here!

  Close the door, Liu Xiu looked at the things Chris Owen sent, a folder... There was a piece of paper in it.

  'Yo, the analysis and summary of the rookie's first week's performance, we are now in the third week! ’

  ‘But what I’m involved in seems to be only a week away… 屮! We played 9 games and I was suspended for 5 games, which means I haven't played more games than I have been suspended! ’

   Liu Xiudan hurt a bit and looked at the content.

   The first is the data. The average playing time is 23.5 minutes, 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 1 turnover and 2.6 fouls.

   Shooting 58% from the field, 50% from three-point range, 90% from the free throw line, 9 of 10 free throws in total.

   The shooting percentage is super nice. Liu Xiu took a look at it. It was all supported by playing 14 of 19 for the Kings and 5 of 5 three-pointers.

   But he knew that the average points per game in this affirmative round were the same, and it fell quickly. He scored 15 points, 34 points, 11 points, and 7 points in the four games.

   To say that there is something in the data that he is proud of, it is the wrong control...

   Liu Xiu is watching his 'Summary of the first week of the rookie', and the coaching staff is also studying it.

   This was written by the scout of his own team and gave a copy to Liu Xiu.

  Because there is a special game against the Kings, Liu Xiu's average data is not of great reference value to the coaching staff.

   To watch it, you have to take off that game and watch it.

   Apart from that game, Liu Xiu's data is actually quite ordinary.

   This is not only in line with Liu Xiu's expectations, but also in line with the coaching staff's expectations.

  Liu Xiu is not the kind of player who can enter the NBA and play very good stats.

   But Liu Xiu's performance made the coaching staff very satisfied.

   Such as faulty control.

   In 4 games, Liu Xiu only had 4 turnovers! And 3 of them were eaten by the defensive team that played the Pistons in the opening game. Recently, the Raptors and the Mavericks were played, and there were no mistakes!

  The Raptors and the Mavericks have one thing in common right now - poor defense.

  The Raptors are in a mess, and the defensive players are getting old; the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki, Anthony Walker, Jamison, taken out individually, are all defensive loopholes.

   In other words, Liu Xiu's stability is extremely high! Very few wrong choices are made when it comes to passing.

   The Pistons allowed him to make so many turnovers, just because the Pistons defense couldn't make the right decision against the Pistons defense.

   But this is only because Liu Xiu is still weak...

  Wait for Liu Xiu to become stronger?

  …

  …

  On November 17th, the 10th game day of the Blazers arrived.

   Today's opponent, the same 5-4 team as the Blazers, is the fourth-placed Hornets in the Eastern Conference.

   The same 5 wins and 4 losses, the Trail Blazers only ranked ninth in the West, Liu Xiu is a little envious of the competitive environment in the East.

   However, the Hornets will also become a Western Conference team next season. Louisiana, where New Orleans is located, is next to Texas, and New Orleans is more west than Memphis.

  The Charlotte Bobcats Basketball Club was officially established in June this year and will join the NBA after the 2003-2004 season.

   At 8:30 in the morning, the Blazers came to the New Orleans Arena to prepare for the game.

  After the team training, Liu Xiu deliberately stayed in the gym of the visiting team's training ground for an hour of physical training, and then went to the rented private gym for training after lunch.

  Like the day before yesterday, Chris Owen was cured for a period of more than 50, and then, at a few points, it continued for a long time...

   Before the warm-up, when eating a boxed lunch to recover his strength, Liu Xiu felt that it was worthwhile to be surrounded by monkeys for an hour in the morning.

  This meal is earned by the monkeys waiting for the healing work.

  …

  The Hornets have a very strong team history. They joined the NBA in the 1988-1989 season. After four years of development, the 1992-1993 season began to last season, and the winning rate has been at least 50% for 11 consecutive years.

   What is this concept? Only two teams in the league have achieved a 50% win rate in each of the past 11 seasons.

  The other team is the Jazz.

   However, after the move, the Hornets immediately began to go downhill, as if their ancestors’ graves were dug, and the more unlucky they were, the more unlucky they were.

  There is another tragedy in the new season. At the beginning of the new season, the star player Jamal Mashburn was seriously injured and was injured for four to six months.

   In the new season, it can rank fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is purely based on its peers. The Eastern Conference’s winning percentages outside the top five are now all below 50%.

   Originally, the Blazers thought that this game should be a good game, and the strength displayed by the Hornets did not seem to be any better than the Mavericks, which were not running smoothly.

   However, let’s play a game, and pay attention to mutual growth and mutual restraint.

  The Blazers met their nemesis opponent tonight - Baron Davis!

  Jeff McGinnis, Derek Anderson, the two started the first 4 minutes to defend Baron Davis, and they were all bullied by Baron Davis...

   hit 4 minutes and 11 seconds, the score was 9 to 12, the Blazers called a timeout.

   The Blazers were actually pretty good today, but they couldn't stand the opponent's point guard, which affected the offense of the Blazers players.

   If this continues, a vicious circle will slowly form, and it will be snowballed.

   Must find a way!

  Maurice-Cheeks put his eyes on Momonga.

   Momonga was not afraid of anything, he got up immediately and was about to invite him when he saw Maurice Cheeks wave his hand and sat down angrily.

  Maurice-Cheeks admired the tenacious fighting spirit of Momonga, so he wouldn't let him go up and be beaten by Baron Davis.

Dual point guards will not work well either. The opponent is a dual point guard, a guard combination of David Wesley and Baron Davis. To be precise, this season, new Hornets coach Tim Floyd has Baron Davis at shooting guard.

  Baron Davis has thus become a 20+ level scorer per game.

  Two point guards are not easy to use, one point guard is not easy to use without trying, there is only one left.

  Maurice-Cheeks looked at Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu turned his head - don't look at Lao Tzu!

   However, as the saying goes, the sky will send great responsibilities, so people also…

   "Jace, you go up and deal with Davis!"

  …

   "Baron Davis, 24 years old, 191 cm, 95 kg, PG/SG, ability rating 89, offense 92, defense 79, passing ability 88...speed 89, strength 88, bounce 91..."

  Liu Xiu wiped the magnesium powder and glanced at the player detection report of Baron Davis again.

   Liu Xiu doesn't want to talk, just hit!

   Just before playing, Liu Xiu swept the player detection reports of all the opponent's players again. In those few minutes of game time, he didn't see anything, and he saw Baron Davis pounding their backline...

  ‘Copy Baron Davis! ’

   "Baron-Davis, determined by the system, the match is 95%, reaching the perfect match level, and has successfully copied the talent: template."

   "The Great Mage:

  The state of the game.

  Copy objects:

   Teammate: Zach Randolph, good at technology transformation Talent: low post singles…

Opponent: Baron Davis, Special Talent: Template, Bonus: When the host and Baron Davis are present at the same time, the host will gain a certain degree of strength, from physical conditions, to basic skills, to technology... With the longer the host and Baron Davis are on the field at the same time, the longer the matchup time, the greater the increase, until it is close to the strength of Baron Davis. "

'I go! ’

  Liu Xiugang is still in pain. He seems to be surrounded by Baron Davis in everything except back fights. I didn't expect that the talent he copied was actually this!

   The referee blew the whistle indicating the players of the two teams to enter the court, but Liu Xiu was unable to recover immediately this time... It took more than a second to recover and walk onto the court.

The Hornets did not rotate, and the starting lineup of David Wesley, Baron Davis, George Lynch, PJ Baron, and Magloire continued to play.

For the Blazers, Jeff McGinnis, who has the best combination of height and athletic ability among the four point guards, was left to guard David Wesley. The remaining four were Liu Xiu and Travis. - A combination of Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace played.

Partnering with Jeff McGinnis, Liu Xiu is not the one with the ball. He walks straight to the opposite side and stands with Baron Davis. When the two look at each other, they look at each other as similar to him and similar to others. The players are different, the arms without too many edges and corners, the lower abdomen that protrudes slightly when relaxed... Just like Hua An encounters a pair of piercing intestines!
