Healing Basketball

Chapter 291 291. Only I Think He's a Genius?

"Healing value +38, from Baron Davis."

"Healing value +99, from Baron Davis."

"Healing value +99, from Baron Davis."

After Liu Xiu told the bearded man the truth, he received three waves of healing during the suspension period.

'What are you talking about? ', 'Why did you tell me such a cruel thing? ', 'Why are you so lucky to be such a tall and heavy player? '.

During the timeout, the bearded man with dilated pupils went through such a mental journey.

Back on the bench, the new coach Byron Scott did not make any tactical adjustments, but just carried out regular player rotations.

The bearded man further confirmed this fact.

On the other hand, Liu Xiu has shown strong adaptability to the new regulations from the very beginning, and the adjustments are also very good. The main reason is that there is a point guard on the opposite side for comparison, which surprised the coaching staff.

After returning from the timeout, both teams allowed the starting point guard to continue playing.

On the Hornets side, it is the field control master who guarantees the playing time of the bearded man so that the bearded man can play good enough data.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu has adapted well. Of course, Liu Xiu must continue to play, so that Liu Xiu has more time to adapt to the game under the new environment.

The two point guards who look similar in terms of breakthrough and attack frame, played again with completely different performances.

With the thinking during the timeout, Liu Xiu defended better after returning.

This is better, not to say that it is really good. Liu Xiu's breakthrough defense is far less than at the end of last season. At that time, Liu Xiu's single defense was almost at an excellent level. Now it can be said to be qualified at best.

But it was much better than the one who couldn't even guide the bearded man to break through the route at the beginning of the game.

If you compare it numerically, at the beginning of the game, his defensive performance was definitely below 60, but in the second half of the first quarter, he was already above 60!

The new rules affect more than just perimeter defense.

The inside line also needs to adapt to the situation where the outside line is being passed more cleanly, and it will become more difficult to expand to prevent pick-and-rolls.

In the past, outside players lost their positions, and they could press up to fight and fight in blind spots.

It doesn't work now, as long as there are those actions, the referee will blow the whistle.

This makes the inside line face a greater impact.

Therefore, the defensive role of outside players has not declined, but has become more important.

Liu Xiuneng gave Beard the most basic restrictions, which provided a great help for the Trail Blazers to adapt to the new rules inside!

And the bearded man on the other side couldn't calm down to adapt to the new rules.

I was not prepared, and my mentality exploded.

On the defensive end, they will either make strides, or resign themselves to the defense that caused Wade to collapse in the playoffs last season, pressing, confronting, pulling, and getting a foul.

The bearded man who had already fouled twice in the first half of the first quarter, had two more fouls after returning from a timeout.

The bearded man was not replaced in the first half of the second quarter, but was replaced in the second half by the field control master. Momonga made a foul with a change of direction, and the glorious 6 fouls left the field.

Beard has the mentality of competing with Liu Xiu, but since the official suspension of the first quarter, Liu Xiu has not paid attention to the win or loss of the game itself, and what happened to Beard.

All attention is focused on how to adapt to the new rules, how to communicate with teammates and how to better cooperate defensively under the new rules.

Liu Xiu played a long time tonight, playing 9 minutes in the first quarter, 7 minutes in the second quarter, 7 minutes in the third quarter, and 5 minutes in the final quarter.

28分钟出场时间，拿到了17分6板5助攻2抢断3犯规。

28 fouls in 3 minutes. This foul rate is too high. If it is a center, it can be accepted. If it is a point guard, it is definitely difficult to maintain a stable foul rate even if it is played.

but!

Looking at all the players who defended at the top arc in this game, Liu Xiu is already the one with the best foul control!

Ruben Patterson played for 19 minutes, single-defended JR-Smith, Rodney Rogers and others on the outside, and also got 3 fouls, which is even higher than Liu Xiu's foul probability!
Everyone is uncomfortable on the defensive end, and the offensive end is not as good as the media and experts predicted.

In the first half of the first quarter, the bullfight between the warden and the bearded man was very good.

But after that, it became full of fouls, dead balls, and complaining to the referee... like an old woman's foot wrap.

The score was not good. In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets 91 to 79 and won their first preseason victory!
……

It is very rare for six offenders to leave the field in the preseason... It was very rare in the preseason in previous years. On the first match day of the preseason this year, there were many such situations!
一共8场比赛，有6名球员6犯离场，还有7名球员犯规达到5次。

And in 8 games, 16 teams, only two teams scored more than [-] points!

This seems to be completely different from the "defense is dead and the era of offensive basketball is coming" advocated by the media.

On the first day of the game, the media were not good at bragging about how a certain player was playing. Most of the games were fragmented. I don't think Liu Xiu, who scored 14 points and 6 assists on 17 of 5 shots, performed so well.

But, there is a situation in the world called extremes will reverse.

By October 10th, the second game day of the preseason, 11 games, everyone collectively performed poorly!

This poor performance means that the perimeter defense is timid, afraid to fight, and afraid to reach out.

At this time, there are two ways to deal with it.

One is that the inside line is strong or the defense is good enough.

They didn't dare to defend from the outside, so the pressure was concentrated on their frame protectors and defense players.

Take Garnett, Kirilenko, Duncan, O'Neal... etc. as examples, their importance in the game has further increased.

This is really contrary to people's expectations. They thought that the new rules would weaken them, but it turned out to make them more important.

There is another way to deal with the new rules - attack!Crazy attack!
Tonight, the Suns and Mavericks are scheduled to play the preseason opener.

Nash soared with 33 points and 15 assists, leading the Suns to slaughter the Mavericks 111-87!

There are a dozen pick-and-rolls between Nash and Stoudemire or Marion.

After seeing the game report between the Suns and the Mavericks, Liu Xiu came up with an idea—could it be the pick-and-roll that strengthened the most in the new rules?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu thought of the three types of pick-and-rolls.

One is the ultimate technical flow, represented by the retired Shuangsha.

One is extreme violence, which represents the future, not one, not two, not three...

There are also comprehensive streams like the new Shuangsha in the future, Paul + any insider who can block and cut, but the facts have proved that Deron and the young Paul are very strong in the regular season, but in the playoffs, Only to find that they are not good enough, their technical pick-and-roll and violent pick-and-roll cannot maintain the standard in the playoff environment, because they are not extremely strong enough, but there are various problems caused by all-inclusive.

On the contrary, the old Paul performed better in the playoffs after becoming a purely technical streamer and not taking it all in.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiu put aside the pick-and-roll and did the current thing well.

Even if it is confirmed that the new rules make the NBA develop into a pick-and-roll league, it has nothing to do with him.

How can he not pick and roll?
……

……

Rules are always applied.

In the beginning, there will be very extreme situations.

On the first day of the game, many players were dissatisfied with the new rules. They smashed cans, beat and defended indiscriminately.

In the next two or three match days, everyone performed poorly at first, then slowly adjusted and accepted it all.

In fact, there are many teams that start preparing as early as the Trail Blazers, but the direction of the preparations is not necessarily correct, and the judgment of the league's execution strength is not necessarily accurate... In the end, it seems that everyone's defensive adjustments are similar. .

But after confirming the implementation of the new regulations, everyone accepted it.

A positive adjustment, or a more indulgent rot.

Time passed day by day, and the teams became more and more adapted to whistleblowing under the new rules, and were constantly making adjustments.

The effect of adjustment is naturally different.

Iverson, James, Flying Squirrel, Francis... and other players continue to dominate the daily foul rankings.

Another black list is the 'Air Defense List', which refers to some players who seem to work hard but are useless in defense.

Steve Nash took the top spot.

There are bad ones, and naturally there are good ones.

And a good defense is mostly a good defense.

Kidd, Kobe, Bowen, Larry Hughes, Kirilenko and other outside lines, Duncan, Garnett, O'Neal and other inside lines, the defense should be good or good.

They have good enough defensive basic skills or good enough talent, and they can adjust faster than ordinary people.

There is also a top defensive player who has been greatly affected-Artest, but he found another way, adjusting the defense while strengthening the offense. In one game, he scored 21 points in a single quarter.

There is a person on the red list who is beyond everyone's expectations.

The time came to October 10. Yesterday, the Trail Blazers had played 22 preseason games.

After 5 games, Liu Xiu averaged 30 minutes per game and 2.4 fouls per game.

And it's not the kind of defense that gives up badly, nor is it Nash's incompetent and furious defense. Liu Xiu's defensive efficiency is quite good in comparison with other players at the moment!
The personal defensive effect and the cooperation with teammates are very good, and it is the kind that has obvious improvement after each game!
Compared with those top defensive players, the gap in defensive effect is quite obvious.

But in terms of adaptability and speed of improvement, it is obvious that he may be better than those top defensive players!
……

The adjustment table on the defensive end pays off!Liu Xiu was very satisfied with this.

It was determined from the beginning that the rules would be adjusted in this direction, and he has been working unswervingly in this direction. There is a difference between training and actual combat, but with more actual combat, the adjustment of training becomes more effective.

However, there are still many troubles, such as the situation within the team.

A lot of new teammates have come, and the team has a lot of room for improvement.

The most important center position, the top pick in parallel imports has brought Liu Xiu a big surprise in terms of defense, even better than expected.

In terms of adapting to the new defensive rules alone, Kwame Brown has done better than veteran players such as Dale Davis and McDyess.

But there are also more flaws than expected.

It has been almost a month since the training camp, and Liu Xiu knows more and more about his teammates. Since he is regarded as a leader, he must find a way to make himself, his teammates, and his team better.

Needless to say, the importance of the inside line.

After nearly a month of observation, Liu Xiu has recorded all the aspects that Kwame Brown urgently needs to improve at this stage.

However, asking him to guide, he finds it troublesome, and he is not an insider...

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the Trail Blazers came to Sacramento and will play the sixth preseason game tomorrow.

After arriving at the hotel, Liu Xiu came to Randolph's room and began to complain: "Your year was really bad, the first pick was so bad, I don't think he has any future..."

Randolph habitually opened the bar: "Is it just me who thinks he is very talented but was delayed by Jordan?"
