Healing Basketball

Chapter 288. Chapter 288. The Unwilling Defensive Assistant
"Maybe he's still growing..."

Maurice Cheeks hard-pressed an explanation for the fact that Liu Xiu's athletic ability has improved significantly over the past year.

"..." After a moment of silence, Paul Allen asked, "Is Jess' comprehensive athletic ability already comparable to Travis and Sheriff's?"

Maurice Cheeks analyzed it and said: "Just looking at the practicality, Jess' comprehensive athletic ability is similar to that of Sharif, and better than Travis."

It was said that Paul Allen, who had dreamed of becoming a basketball superstar when he was a teenager but missed the school team in high school, began to provide healing value to the warden... It took a while to recover.

Paul Allen waved his hand, and the secretary immediately played Liu Xiu's technical test video.

They are all players, and the treatment differs greatly. Every test of Liu Xiu is filmed by the team cameraman.

Compared with the physical test that only happens once a year, in terms of technology, Paul Allen has an intuitive comparison with the team's old coaches.

They also watched Liu Xiu's Olympic games. Compared with when he played for the Lakers, he has improved in many aspects.

Looking at it now, Liu Xiu's skills have also improved significantly compared to when he played in the Olympics.

Unexpected things.

What they cared about was the test that was intentionally left at the end after Liu Xiu's body was fully activated—breakthrough!
Not long ago, Liu Xiuhao said that one week is enough to learn the news of Kobe's breakthrough. It was once the focus of public opinion, and they were also very curious.

Different players have really different trial training treatments.

Liu Xiu's partner for the breakthrough test - Lynch Hunter.

188 cm, 89 kg, a very strong player at the point guard position.

The ability to prevent breakthroughs is extremely good. Last season, rookie Wade faced the then 33-year-old Lynch Hunter. He made 7 of 0 in a single game and missed two free throws. He scored 0 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He was not injured for the first time in his career. I ate a zero egg without being sick.

The coaching staff had thought about this test a long time ago and discussed it with Lynch Hunter.

Lynch-Hunter studied Liu Xiu's breakthrough carefully, and prepared for the stage when Liu Xiu's state exploded at the end of last season.

But Liu Xiu's breakthrough test performance far exceeded Lynch Hunter and the coaching staff's expectations!

Lynch Hunter, who is good at using his teammates on the defensive end, can't defend Liu Xiu in a one-on-one situation, that's for sure.

Liu Xiu's body + excellent front-body changing skills make it difficult to guard against one-on-one.

But Liu Xiu didn't rely on his body to crush, but relied on his sense of rhythm and timing to get past Lynch-Hunter many times in one-on-one!

Out of trust in Liu Xiu's talent, Paul Allen and the coaching staff felt that Liu Xiu must have learned a lot from Kobe's breakthrough.

But no matter how much they believed in Liu Xiu's talent, they never imagined that he could directly apply the breakthrough skills learned from Kobe to actual combat!
Moreover, Liu Xiu is already quite proficient. From their professional perspective, they think that Liu Xiu can be used in official competitions without any problem!

A group of people began to frantically provide healing value to the warden.

This is not a question of whether you should be happy as an owner and coach.

Everyone would be jealous of this talent!
Not to mention Paul Allen, who dreamed of becoming a star and lost hope in high school, and Kevin Pritchar, who couldn't even score in the NBA.

Even Maurice Cheeks, the retired jersey-level tycoon who left his name in NBA history, is envious!

He has worked hard for more than ten years and achieved the achievement of retiring jerseys.

Put it at the warden's place, and he may be able to do it casually...

After watching Liu Xiu's test video, everyone was silent for a while, and was about to start a discussion when the boss suddenly spoke.

"As expected of the genius I was optimistic about from the beginning, I knew he had such a talent."

Coaches: Meow meow? ? ?
secretary:! ! ! ……I see!
……

……

The fact that the warden and the butcher clocked in to work on the assembly day was spread by sources within the Trail Blazers team.

There are even candid photos of the 8 players of the 'Rose Bay Seven' entering the training ground.

Trail Blazers hit the news again…

Non-Blazers fans, some black, some ridiculed, these are not important in the eyes of Trail Blazers fans.

The important thing is that the warden is finally back!
Prison Squad is finally open for business!

At the same time, a strange news came into people's field of vision.

Anyway, the Trail Blazers fans don't believe it.

This is a rumor-Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers, is Liu Xiu's bole.

But I couldn't hold back and sent out the draft!
The power of capital is terrifying.

It's the same as Liu Xiu's talent and performance on the court that no one hated before.

Because this kind of hard black requires more capital investment, and the investment at that stage cannot bring matching returns, so it is not as dark as the capital side.

But now, Liu Xiu has won the Olympic bronze medal and made the U.S. team without an Olympic medal since 1980. He is also in the limelight in the U.S. basketball world, and the investment can get enough returns, so the hard black has begun. .

There are always limited channels for people to obtain information. It is hard to believe, and many people will believe it. People who have never watched Liu Xiu play will be preconceived when they see such news first, and he may not necessarily watch Liu Xiu in the future. But when discussing with others, I feel that I know everything, and I feel that I am different.

Of course, most people's eyes are sharp.

Regarding the statement that Paul Allen is Liu Xiubole, under the bombardment of massive drafts, there are really a group of people who believe it!And the more people refute, the more this group of people believe!

……

Liu Xiu naturally saw the news in this regard, and some reporters asked him during the interview, but he just laughed and didn't answer.

How could the warden not guess the boss's little thought?

Let's not puncture the cowhide of others, it is his boss after all.

The boss didn't want to return the money at all, he just wanted to spread the word.

After the registration day, Liu Xiu began to adjust his basic defensive skills under the guidance of the new defensive coach Jeff Bzdelik.

Although we talked on the phone many times before, Bzdelik actually still has a lot of worries-will Liu Xiu be willing to adjust his basic defensive skills if he is so lazy?
This is a very troublesome thing.

But after a few days, he was very surprised.

On September 9, after 28 days of training, the players will have two days of rest, and the official training camp will start on October 5.

The next morning, Bzdelik reported to the coach.

In fact, it was only recently that they began to adjust their personal defense. The Trail Blazers consisted of three players. One was Zach Randolph who had been 'out of contact' for a few months.

Delfino's adjustments were completed long before Liu Xiu returned to the team.

So in this aspect of the report, Bzdelik mainly reported about Liu Xiu.

He sighed to the coach: "I thought the warden would be the one who was the least willing to practice defense, but I was wrong, his learning attitude and concentration are better than the rest of our team.

In terms of defensive details, he works harder than people like Ruben and Dell, and is more willing to dig deep!
I have seen a lot of players when they encounter problems, they see that it is a small problem, and they are unwilling to bother. At the beginning, they can’t see any impact, but it’s a little bit worse here, a little bit worse there, and as time goes by , Two players with similar talents and starting points at the beginning may have a big gap in defensive strength in the end! "

Maurice Cheeks likes this new defensive assistant very much. He is so good that he can almost do the job on the defensive end alone!And better than him and the chief assistant.

Seeing that Bzdelik was full of praise for Liu Xiu, Maurice Cheeks felt that he needed to vaccinate his defensive assistant.

"Jeff, uh, how should I put it... You may have misunderstood the warden's hard work. He worked very hard when he was learning something, but he didn't always work so hard..."

"?"

……

Soon, the two-day break passed, and the official training camp for the 2004-2005 season began.

After two more training days, Bzdelik knew what the coach said before.

In the past two days, due to the new season makeup photos, media interviews and other links, the team arranged a small amount of training.

The two days are two groups of individual training in the morning and two groups of team running training in the afternoon.

The coaching staff didn't teach anything new, so after the scheduled training, Liu Xiu got off work...

The other players, more or less, stayed for additional training. Even Randolph was stared at by the coach for weight loss training every day.

But Liu Xiu didn't!

Bzdelik went to find Liu Xiu's "trouble", asked Liu Xiu about the defense he had learned in the previous 5 days, and asked Liu Xiu to train and demonstrate...all of which could not help Liu Xiu.

Not only that, but on October 10, the team conducted a 3-on-5 confrontational training.

Liu Xiu's adjustment speed is the fastest when it comes to the adjustment of perimeter defense.

Those players who train hard every day, of course, have made great progress. The hard work has not been in vain. He is very confident in his ability to coach.

But compared with Liu Xiu, other people's progress is obviously much slower!

Another 3 days passed, and it was the last day of the training camp, October 10th.

Today the Trail Blazers practiced again for two team competitions.

From September 9, when Liu Xiu started to learn how to adjust his defense, until yesterday, 23 days had passed since he was playing full game.

Bzdelik didn't care about other aspects, he used his professional eyes to analyze Liu Xiu's progress in defensive adjustment...

It's hard to say how the strength has improved, because the new season hasn't officially started yet, and even a top defensive coach like him doesn't know how the league will implement the new regulations and how they will whistle.

However, in terms of the improvement of his perimeter defense adjustments, Liu Xiu, who has studied for less than half a month, is actually the one closest to the ideal state he wants in the team!

Of course there is still a long way to go, it’s just relative... ideals are always out of reach...

Bzdelik finally understood why he wanted to organize his colleagues to persuade Liu Xiu to work hard, and his teammates all asked him to cheer, but no one agreed.

It's just that people are different after all.

At 10:7 pm on October 4th, the training camp for the new season ended.

Bzdelik stayed among the players and thought for a long time...'He will work very hard when he learns something'...Finally, he figured it out!
'Since the warden will work very hard when he learns new things, shouldn't I build more things for him that can improve his defense?Doesn't he love to polish the details?I love it too!After the preseason understands how the new regulations are implemented, I will help him figure out the details of defense! '

……

……

In two days, on October 10th, the preseason will start!

Liu Xiu couldn't wait anymore, and the healing value was starting to run out.

On September 9th, when Bzdelik began to teach him new basic defensive skills, he spent 24 healing points to start the fast learning mode. On the night of September 6000th, Kobe, who was training with double healing points every day, made a breakthrough It could only be stopped temporarily. At that time, there were only more than 9 healing points left.

He analyzed a wave. In those two days, he began to devote all his physical strength to the simulation training of the newly learned defense. After the official training camp started, he continued to show the speed of progress and heal his teammates...

Even so, including the daily consumption, the current healing value is only over 5000.

The healing value given by teammates in this aspect will be less and less... Sure enough, the opponent who changes every game is the best target for obtaining healing value!
In addition to trying to strengthen this point, there is another reason for the rapid progress-he knows how to whistle in the future, and he knows Jeff Bzdelik's defensive adjustment plan, [-]% is right!

When Bzdelik formulated the training in this area, he gave a lot of "analysis results" in terms of "guessing about whistleblowing methods".

He is more convinced than his teammates that the defensive adjustment in this direction is correct, and some teammates, even teammates with strong defense like Ruben Patterson, still have doubts, or they still expect that the impact will not be so big ...

Speaking of the impact of defensive adjustments, after several intra-team duels, Liu Xiu thought of one person——Allen Iverson!
With this defensive rule change, Iverson's type of defensive players will directly become a defensive black hole!
