Healing Basketball

Chapter 195 195. The Real Purpose of the Coaching Staff
Before starting to aim to play in the NBA, what Liu Xiu thought was that after entering the NBA, he would be able to play against those superstars and those rich teams at any time.

After entering the NBA, he realized that it was not the case!
Over the course of a year, teams that want to play against each other can meet up to 4 times.

If the east and west are separated, you can basically only see them twice a year.

As for the encounter in the playoffs, it depends on fate. Maybe the two superstars will not be able to compete in the playoffs for the rest of their lives.

The possibility of becoming teammates to play in the playoffs is higher.

Therefore, Liu Xiu will be particularly motivated when meeting certain teams.

For example, the opponent in front of you.

The [-]th crown giants with the championship as the first label-the Celtics!

After becoming a professional player, who wouldn't want to play against the team that won the most championships?
2004年2月29号晚上7点40分，玫瑰花园球馆，凯尔特人队和开拓者队两队球员先后进入球场。

After entering the arena, the two teams made the final preparations before the game.

From time to time, Liu Xiu looked at the man opposite, Paul Pierce, who had unruly, proud, and irritable face written all over his face.

One of the superstars who want to fight the most!

Mainly out of curiosity, what kind of strange man is lucky enough to be stabbed more than a dozen times.

Pierce felt the rookie's eyes again, and glared back at Liu Xiu irritably.

On Liu Xiu's side, he returned to play at home and just played a wave of 4 wins and 2 losses on the road trip. With a record of 41 wins and 15 losses, he is currently ranked second in the Western Conference, and he is very happy.

Pierce is now in a stage that no one can understand.

Especially the rookie on the opposite side with a lucky player.

Why did he enter the NBA on a bottom team?After entering the NBA, he failed to make the playoffs for three consecutive years!
After finally reaching the playoffs with his big brother and making it to the Eastern Conference finals, the management didn’t know what to think, and sent the head star to the Mavericks almost for free, letting him lead the team on the edge of the playoffs alone...

Originally, in the past two years, he felt that everything was getting better, and the envy of those players who could play in the playoffs and win the championship early in the early years gradually disappeared.

Now, everything is back!
The rookie on the opposite side averaged 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and shot 46.1% from the field... The statistics are really beautiful. Not to mention becoming the best rookie favorite, the team is still second in the West!

It really makes people want to torture him!
On the other side, Liu Xiu was immersed in the excitement of being about to play against the team with the most championships in the NBA, when suddenly a system prompt came!
"It's mediocre not to be envied by others. The host has successfully become the envy and envy of many talented players. Mission: The Jealousy of Truth is triggered.

Goal: The host needs to score higher than Paul Pierce in this game.

Reward: buff: Phoenix (fragment). "

"Buff fragments: can be obtained through tasks or lottery, low probability and high value rewards, 3 identical buff fragments can be synthesized into a complete buff."

'? ? ? ? '

Liu Xiu looked at the target of the new mission, it was too straightforward!

And the difficulty is too high!

"Paul Pierce, 26 years old, 201 cm, 107 kg, SF/SG, ability rating 91... averaged 23 points, 6 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game..."

It's okay to look at it this way, averaging only 23 points per game, and scoring soaring points in a single game may not be impossible.

But in the past three seasons, Pierce did not need to be the core of the organization's offense. When he had a big brother who averaged 5+ assists per game, he averaged 25.3 points, 26.1 points, and 25.9 points per game. Hurricane scored 42 points in the game, and was praised by O'Neal for the truth on the court!

……

Liu Xiu was a little proud of being envied by Pierce.

The missions are difficult, but with new rewards, it's a must.

The referee notified the two teams to start the game, and Liu Xiu's system prompt also came.

Liu Xiu's decision to choose the copy object is very simple...

"The great magician:
...

Opponent: Paul Pierce, matching degree 55%, characteristic transformation talent: old man, bonus effect: the overall technical rhythm of the host is strengthened, the better the technique, the higher the rhythm bonus. (Only triggered when the speed rating is lower than 90)"

'grandfather?Grandpa of the system, isn’t it right? The current 35 seconds and 13 dollars is not the way of the grandpa, is it?About two or three college students' live performances are hollowed out every day? '

"Paul Pierce is imitating Larry Bird, and started to adjust his playing style in advance during the golden period of his career... The talent of host replication is the characteristic that Paul Pierce is more suitable for the host at the moment."

'······Can you just say that I play like an old man? '

Liu Xiu angrily turned off the system screen.

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Outlaws, Randolph, McDyess.

Celtics starters: Chucky Atkins, Yeri Vershenko, Pierce, Walter McCarty, Mark Blunt.

On the side of McDyess and the outlaw lunatic, the two discussed it, and the outlaw lunatic came to the middle circle to jump the ball excitedly.

McDyess really didn't like this face.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. The outlaws jumped up excitedly, touched the ball first, and pushed the ball back.

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, defended by Chucky Atkins.

Liu Xiu played against the Celtics for the first time, but he had played against Atkins before. In the first two games against the Pistons, Atkins was Billups' substitute.

Randolph opened the bottom line and kept rushing.

No matter what others think, Randolph himself put himself in the position of the boss, imitating the departed Tianzun, giving up the right to shoot when he should, and concentrating his physical strength on output when he is more needed. Anyway, he is not lacking.

Liu Xiu launches the first attack, singles Atkins!

Atkins is ready to fight. When he played against this rookie for the first time, this rookie played like a pure old man, but when he played against him for the second time, this rookie's style of play has changed...

Atkins is good at single defense. The reason why he was given up by the Pistons is that he has no ability to help defend and supplement defense, and his defense without the ball is poor. He likes to stare at the ball holder. Really nice.

Defending Liu Xiu's change of direction in front of his body, Atkins' footwork is very good, and his prediction is very good...Suddenly, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity before Atkins' footsteps fell, and quickly patted the ball horizontally, fish Leap forward!
In an instant, he changed from an old man to an impact arrow, and Atkins lost a body space. He immediately pressed up, but at 180 centimeters and a weight of just over 80 kilograms, he couldn't stick it at all.

Pierce actively made up for it, and Liu Xiu grabbed the ball within the free throw line and took a step to the right of the three-second zone!
Both McCarty and Pierce swooped in to block the shot...but Liu took a second step, slid back down the middle and made a layup.

One hit three!

The warden hits three!

The fans at the scene were excited at the beginning!
Eurostep!Warden's New Technology!
The fans were waiting for this, but they didn't expect to see it at the beginning of the game.

As for the movements, compared with the rookie on the south coast, he was a bit slow like an old man, but that didn't matter.

Physical fitness is not the reason why they love the warden.

That's learning talent!Before the All-Star Weekend, the warden didn't know how to do this, but after the All-Star Weekend, he imitated the rookie on the South Coast and learned it.

The speed of Liu Xiu's European steps just now, even the fans feel that the movements are slow, and the players feel the same way.

But not to mention, even the Trail Blazers felt that Liu Xiu's Eurostep tonight was better than when he played against the Nuggets in the last game.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Celtics attack.

Liu Xiu retreated excitedly to the backcourt.

Not to mention, the talent bonus of 'Grandpa' really suits him...

The ability to find the rhythm and grasp the rhythm when breaking through, the sense of rhythm during the actual European step, and the judgment of defense, the thinking is clearer.

But he scored a beautiful goal just now, and the outlaws suffered...

Pierce singled out the outlaw lunatic, and after continuously dribbling the ball and using the sense of rhythm to get half of his position, he ran over the outlaw lunatic and rushed inside!
At close range, Pierce made an emergency stop to collect the ball, leaned forward to make a shooting motion, the extrajudicial fanatic withdrew and took off, Pierce retracted his body, took off with the momentum, and shot a short-range jumper...

McDyess missed the defense and Pierce made a shot!

After Pierce scored the goal, he looked contemptuously at Liu Xiu who was retracted, and said, "Rookie, this is called technology!"

Indeed, compared to Liu Xiu's singles just now, Pierce's ball is more freehand, strong core strength, super technical sense of rhythm, anticipation of defense... the technical level is not at the same level.

Liu Xiu heard the words and said to the outlaw fanatic: "He looks down on you."

"..."

"..."

The starting small forwards of the two teams were both cured.

Pierce couldn't answer, so he gave Liu Xiu another look and ran back.

The outlaw lunatic is very resentful - he didn't expect this at first, but now that he saw it, it was really the case.

At any rate, they are a team in the playoffs, and the Celtics' defense is not bad. When Liu Xiu receives the serve and advances to the frontcourt, the Celtics' defense has been completed.

Liu Xiu easily judged the adjustment of the opponent's defensive tendency - he broke through and flanked him.

This is consistent with the Celtics' defense analyzed by the coaching staff during the preparations. Regional flanking is what Celtics coach John Carroll is good at.

Breaking through and attracting pincers is the best choice as an organizational point guard.

But Liu Xiu didn't do this this time. He quickly thought about how to avoid the opponent's flanking attack and find a good opportunity to make a move.

Seeing Atkins stepping on small steps and pacing back a little bit, Liu Xiu leaned over and made a breakthrough gesture, suddenly grabbed the ball, stood up, took advantage of the momentum, lifted the ball up, and made a three-point shot...

"bang"

It's a bit off, it's iron!

But Randolph reacted quickly, overwhelmed Mark Blunt and Walter McCarty, two thin insiders, grabbed the offensive rebound, and made a tip-up!

Randolph, who has many partners with Little Flying Squirrel, is very good at this kind of rushing, but he is very surprised that the warden actually fights like this!

The fans at the scene are naturally high as long as their Trail Blazers score a goal.

The coach and chief assistant coach on the sidelines were very happy—the real purpose of their recent adjustments to Liu Xiu's use method has been achieved!
