Healing Basketball

Chapter 125 125. What a rookie!

In the evening, in the lounge of the home team's training ground in the Rose Garden Arena, some players of the Blazers were having dinner.

Ahead, the pregame meeting for tonight's back-to-back second game is over.

There was a huge food box on the coffee table, brought by Randolph.

The food box is enough for five or six people. Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Matt Carroll, Tianzun, Derek Anderson, and Ruben Buntje were invited to have dinner together.

After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Randolph spent several days interviewing hundreds of nutritionists, and finally found him a nutritionist who could make the taste of nutritious meals delicious.

Liu Xiu originally planned to bring out a box of his own lunch box to share with everyone, but now he finds that his teammates don't seem to think much about his lunch box, and feels a little bit disappointed... This group of people likes the new and hates the old!
The TV is showing Kidd's interview this morning.

"He is better than me at the time. My style of play when I first entered the league is not as mature and stable as him. If you put him on a championship team, he can also show his ability very well. He just needs time to polish. Skills, he will surely grow into a top player..."

Tianzun said in surprise: "Warden, Kidd actually praised you!"

Derek Anderson echoed: "Yeah, I saw Kidd at noon saying that the warden will have more triple-doubles in his rookie season than him, what the hell."

"Can't I be praised by a superstar?" Liu Xiu rolled her eyes.

Tianzun quickly explained: "I think what he said is right, but it's just too strange for him to say it, right Derek."

Derek Anderson, the second-oldest player present, echoed again: "Yes, yes, Kidd is not the kind of generous player."

Tianzun in the 95th class is not much different from Kidd in the 94th class. Derek Anderson in the 97th class has been around for many years.

The two didn't speak very directly, neither of them like to gossip behind people's backs, but Liu Xiu also understood...'Could it be because I almost didn't get a triple-double last night because I didn't score double-doubles? '

Today Liu Xiu saw a piece of news about Kidd's career so far, a total of 9 times with more than 10 rebounds and assists but did not score in double figures and did not get a triple-double precedent.

I didn't continue to talk about Kidd. After the news broadcast the content of Kidd's interview, it was followed by yesterday's five best shots.

The first ball, when the Lakers played against the Nuggets last night, Kobe cut in from the wing, received the ball from O'Neal, and succeeded in a gliding backhand from the baseline.

That waist, that bouncing... What about the body that was promised?
The second ball, in the fourth quarter of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Wizards last night, Tianzun passed the ball through Kwame Brown.

On the third ball, O'Neal hit Camby with his back at the start, knocking Camby into a reasonable collision zone as if flying, and then turned around and knocked Camby over with dunks with both hands.

Tianzun's ball, the waiting room was already boiling, and the teammates kept exclaiming.

That ball looked quite violent.

But immediately after O'Neill's ball, this Nima is outrageous!The few people in the lounge added another point of resistance to mitigating the greenhouse effect.

It's just that this ball is ranked No.3?What about No.2 and No.1?
The "Rose Bay Seven" naturally thought of Liu Xiu's lore.

On the fourth ball, after the words NO.2 appeared, it was the picture of Arenas dribbling!
Arenas dribbled for a few seconds, stepped forward on tiptoe, grabbed the ball one and a half meters away from the top arc and threw a three-pointer!After throwing the ball, he had just landed, and the ball had just reached the highest point and fell, and he had already turned around and made a gesture of celebration...

Speaking of this ball alone, the Trail Blazers players also felt that Arenas was extremely confident... At this moment, N0.1 hit the screen directly, without excessive slow-motion playback!

Flying Squirrel catches Liu Xiu's serve and advances quickly... NO.2 is directly connected to the top of the five best shots!
Finally, Liu Xiu catches the ball from the free throw line and hits a long-distance throw to complete the anti-lore scene...

Looking at the operation of the five best balls on ESPN, Liu Xiu felt that he still had something to learn!

He remembered the ESPN expert's analysis that if Arenas's quasi-lore three-pointer hadn't been celebrated in advance, Liu Xiu wouldn't have the chance to start a fast break.

In addition, yesterday's NBA's five best balls that were put in the evening... This is the real loss!
……

……

At 7:45 p.m., the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Nets kick-off ceremony is over.

For this entrance ceremony, the Trail Blazers returned to the usual way. They played around when they made their debut, and it was okay to do it again occasionally for important games. At other times, it was still the normal way of entering the field.

After the lights on the scene came on, Liu Xiu took the initiative to find the head star on the opposite side.

"Hi, I'm Liu Xiu, my English name is Jess, it's a pleasure to play with you."

Jason Kidd!

There is no one currently recognized as the number one point guard in the basketball world.

This is indeed a difficult person to get along with, conceited, proud, and small-minded... Whether Liu Xiu learned about it from the news, or learned about it from Kidd's contemporaries who entered the NBA, this is the case , at least for now.

However, Kidd praised him for being talented...that is a good senior.

Don't raise your hand to hit a smiling person, let alone a handsome guy, it's pleasing to the eye.

Kidd already admired Liu Xiu's style of play, but now his senses are even better.

Journalists are rubbish!The news is all nonsense!

What a rookie!

As for the fights, the Pistons already deserved a beating, and they deserved it.

"Hello, Warden, you can just call me Jason," Kidd said, patting Liu Xiu's arm, "I'm really thick, I watched your game live yesterday, and you played really well, I think You must be better than me in the future!"

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Thank you, my goal is to surpass you."

Ambitious rookie, fine...but is it appropriate to say this in person?

Kidd suddenly felt that the reporters might not believe everything they wrote, but they seemed to have to believe it.

Kidd responded: "I look forward to that day."

"You are 30 years old, and I am 21 years old. I don't think it will be a few years."

"..." Kidd was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly a light bulb popped out of his head: "Haha, I see, Warden, you are such a bad rookie, you want to provoke me and make me compete with you? This Little tricks won't do me any good, you're too young."

"..."

This time it's Liu Xiu's turn to be speechless... The number one point guard in the league seems to be able to make up his mind...

The first impression is very important. Kidd has a good impression of Liu Xiu because Liu Xiu almost lost a triple-double because of scoring last night, and today he has a deeper affection for Liu Xiu because of Liu Xiu's appearance...

Kidd took a close look at Liu Xiu, and teased, "Warden, I see that you are six feet four inches in your information? I am also six feet four inches, but why do I seem to be taller than you?"

"Have you played against the Heat this season?"

"Hit."

"Have you played against Dwyane Wade?"

"I can guard against him."

"He's six foot four, too."

"..."

"so……"

"so?"

"So, you said, is it possible that you have grown taller?"

"..."

Kidd finally believed it this time, this rookie's mouth is indeed very flat!
……

At 7:58, under the signal of the referee, the two teams started to play.

Nets: Kidd, Corey Kittles, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, Jason Collins.

Trail Blazers: Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.

With his palms on his face, his arms on the inside of his thighs, and his legs crossed by his supported thighs... just like that, with a lazy look on his face, a group of girls behind the bench were shouting 'Warden', and the next to him Momonga feels so unfair!
"New Jersey Nets, 13 wins and 9 losses, averaging 89.6 points per game, conceding 88.2 points per game..."

Liu Xiu looked at the opponent's detection report and observed every player on the opponent.

Kittles, in the class of 96, originally the Nets seemed to want to choose Kobe, but was rejected by Kobe, and chose him second.

Richard Jefferson, Class of '01.

Liu Xiu also teased Randolph before that the 01 class was marked by counterattack players like them as the year of the draft.

Less than one rookie in the 01 rookie year averaged double figures per game, including Shane Battier, the peak scoring rookie. The All-Rookie Team looks like it will be full.

Coupled with Kwame Brown's shockingly poor rookie year, the 01 class was tied with the 00th class as the worst draft year in history.

But two years later, according to incomplete statistics, from this season to now, among the 01 first-round players in the 28 class, 17 are already stable starters.

The Nets have two, center Jason Collins, who is also a first-round pick in the 01 class.

Liu Xiu's impression of this center forward...beware of the soap slipping in the bathroom!
Kenyon Martin, a rookie in the 00 class, is a version of Rain Man without the ability to hold the ball.

Looking at the comparison between her own team and the opposing team's starting lineup, Liu Xiu is very relieved of her team.

then……

After 3 minutes and 06 seconds, the Nets counterattacked continuously. When the Trail Blazers coaching staff reacted and called a timeout, the score had reached 2-11.

The Trail Blazers started 9 points behind!
"Jess, go up to press the rhythm and control the situation!"

Liu Xiu stood up and moved her body.

In these few minutes, he basically didn't get too many effective ways to deal with the Nets.

The Nets are a simple defensive counterattack, and Kidd grabs rebounds to guide.

The defensive end is also very simple, defend key points, lower threatening players or lower threatening areas.

In other words, they were hit continuously on counterattacks, just because the players they played didn't make shots, it's as simple as that.

'The coach really thinks highly of me! '

But there's no way, it's still worth it!
Morris Cheeks did not make tactical arrangements, but emphasized not to panic.

Liu Xiu came to the technology table to rub chalk, and the system prompt came, and he also pinned his hopes for tonight on this... Great magician!
"Jason Kidd, 30 years old, 193 cm, 95 kg, PG, ability rating 95, offense 71, defense 95, three-pointer 79, mid-range shooting 72, layup 85, passing ability 100...

The matching degree is 70%, the copy has been completed, the characteristic transformation talent: ghost..."

This time it is Liu Xiu's turn to increase the burden on greenhouse effect control.

Kidd's characteristics are too cute!
