Healing Basketball

Chapter 312 312. There is only one warden (seeking a guaranteed monthly pass!)

This also attracted the attention of the Trail Blazers management and coaching staff. Because they got along day and night, they didn't notice Liu Xiu's daily weight changes.

On the second day after returning to Portland, on the morning of November 11, Liu Xiu was called to the arena early in the morning to undergo another physical examination.

Even the boss is here.

Seeing Liu Xiu's weight of 217 pounds (98.4) kilograms, Paul Allen's mentality was about to collapse!

His warden really gained a few kilograms in just over a week!
It is not an illusion of the naked eye!
Although the figure is not bad now, to an acceptable level, it's just that the muscle lines are not so good-looking.

But this is no small matter!
The players destroyed by weight, Sean Kemp and Vin Baker, are both super talents who were selected to the second team at a young age. Before they avalanche at their peak age due to weight problems, who can guess What happens to their strength?
The chief assistant teacher wants to run to the warden to fight desperately, you are either my death or the kind of me.

The two who were almost impulsive were stopped by the coach and asked the trainer to continue testing Liu Xiu's athletic ability and skills.

After reading Liu Xiu's test report, Paul Allen and Kevin Pritchar were at a loss.

Liu Xiu's speed, bounce, flexibility and other data did not decline at all!The running and jumping ability seems to have improved a little bit.

And because he has gained almost 10 pounds of flesh, after Liu Xiuzhen charged up, his lethality became even greater; the low back hit also relied on his weight gain, making him even more aggressive.

The coach who is more accepting and calmer about this kind of thing said: "I stopped you because I didn't find that Warden's performance in the game declined, and I remembered that in the game against the Heat the day before yesterday, Warden Although Chang didn’t make a shot when he broke into the inside and confronted O’Neal, his stability was better.”

After the chief assistant and the boss calm down and think about it, it is true.

After a wave of discussions, they settled on some things.

It certainly wasn't brought by the snacks. For more than a year, the warden ate snacks every day, and his body was getting better day by day.

But his love of eating proves that Liu Xiu is a glutton.

Then I sorted out the situation and confirmed that Liu Xiu had eaten more since arriving in Auckland.

Auckland, the Chinese district, has thousands of Chinese delicacies, and they still know something about it.

Then along the southern part of the United States, there are quite a lot of delicious food, especially the wonderful owner of the Mavericks, who makes his players suffer, haha, and prepares chefs from star-rated hotels for his opponents.

Paul Allen fell into deep thought. He thought simply, regardless of the reason, just solved the problem.

Got it!

"John."

"Boss, I'm here!"

"I want to see our team's nutritious meals are delicious and healthy. I don't want to see the warden get fat again. Control his weight or you get out of class and choose one."

John Nash: ? ? ? ?

There is already a way to solve the problem, let's see if it can be solved first, and we can put it aside for now.

Paul Allen asked: "Morris, look at you, didn't you ask me to come back for a meeting today because of Jess' weight?"

That's right, I almost delayed my business because of the prison guard gaining a few kilograms.

The coach talked to the boss from the perspective of the coach about the adjustments to Liu Xiu's use of Liu Xiu in the three games from the Mavericks to the Heat, and the actual effect of the game, and finally concluded: "... so so, so so That way, I think we can play Warden at shooting guard."

"Ask him to change his position?"

Paul Allen understood why he had to talk to him in detail.

If this matter is not handled properly, the team will collapse, and there will be problems with Liu Xiu's training.

This is a huge responsibility. Even the head coach, who is entrusted with full responsibility for all aspects of the game, dare not make a decision lightly.

After thinking about it, Paul Allen asked: "Morris, is it possible for Jayce to turn from a point guard to a shooting guard? Neither Francis nor Davis has successfully transformed, and Iverson has only one."

"The Heat's Dwyane Wade, who is about the same height as the Warden, has played better under the new rules after turning into a shooting guard."

Paul Allen remembered when he heard the words. Although he couldn't believe that Liu Xiu was 193 centimeters, there are still people who wear shoes with 190 centimeters.

Paul Allen continued to ask: "Will Jace himself be willing to change his position? He is developing very smoothly at the point guard position now."

The coach replied: "He first proposed this adjustment of play style. Of course, I will first communicate with him in detail to confirm his true thoughts."

Morris Cheeks is very rough in doing things, but there is a score in this kind of thing. First the boss agrees, and then he goes to the players to communicate. The order is correct first, and no promises are made first.

Although Morris Cheeks is not an obedient coach, in terms of ability, Paul Allen appreciates it, and Kevin Pritchar, a mature and stable chief assistant, did not object to this proposal, so the coaching staff unanimously.

That being the case, Paul Allen agreed to the proposal and discussed it with the coaches in detail.

Changing the position of the outside core will inevitably have an impact on the lineup, and it may cost money again.

There are three things Paul Allen likes to do most, one is picking up girls, one is basketball, and the other is spending money.

The thing to do now is related to two of his three favorite things, so he must not participate in it properly.

……

After Liu Xiu was called to do a physical test in the morning, he was asked by general manager John Nash to chat for a while after lunch.

John Nash almost knelt down to Liu Xiu, begging Liu Xiu to eat less.

Liu Xiu agreed at the beginning, but John Nash just didn't believe it, so he said that Liu Xiucai escaped from the general manager's office.

Then, Liu Xiu was called over by the head coach.

After Maurice Cheeks told Liu Xiu what he had said to the boss in the morning, something unexpected happened to the coach. Liu Xiu said the same thing as the boss.

"There's only one Iverson."

Liu Xiu didn't say much, and answered Morris Cheeks' suggestion like this.

Maurice Cheeks knows that although Liu Xiu seems to be aloof, he is a very stable person in terms of playing basketball, that is, his career path. He can tell from the way he plays on the court.

Morris Cheeks responded: "There is only one warden. I don't want you to become the next Iverson, but to become a new benchmark."

After hearing this, Liu Xiu was silent for a while and replied, "I can try it."

Maurice Cheeks wanted to appease Liu Xiu: "Kang Mang, Warden, you must have confidence! You are the strongest genius in history!"

Liu Xiu responded: "Of course I have confidence. I'm worried that you, coach, will not be able to do your best, and you will be delayed. The new season has already begun."

Maurice Cheeks took a look in the office. The chief assistant coach and shooting coach were not there. Hold it back and pretend you didn't hear it... How angry!Those two guys are not there, otherwise there might be a little chance of winning in three-on-one!

……

……

The blurring of positions has already begun to appear since the emergence of swingmen and combo guards.

However, the uniqueness of each position is still obvious.

Like James and Kobe, they are the scoring leaders of their respective teams.

James held the ball, thinking about how to help the team get more points, just saying that he himself is the player with the strongest scoring ability on the team.

When Kobe gets the ball, the first goal must be to throw the ball into the basket, and the second is to organize the offense.

Liu Xiu's original style of play is a proper point guard style of play. Although he doesn't have a lot of assists, his first goal on the court is to let the team get more points, not to score by himself.

However, after the start of the new season, Liu Xiu has already noticed that he is more suitable for scoring under the new rules.

He is also starting to think about the adjustment of his playing style, and he also noticed that the coaching staff has the same idea.

But I didn't expect the coaching staff to be so radical and directly asked him to change his position.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu decided to give it a try, and that's the end of the story. If you don't try it, you will always think about it.

And it doesn't matter if you try it, if the effect is not good, just change it back.

But, their coach is a strange man. It was decided yesterday. Today, on November 11th, they will start preparing for the game directly on the premise that Liu Xiu will play shooting guard. The starting combination of Te, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

Good guy, the Trail Blazers were only scored 19 points in a single quarter by the Clippers in the first quarter!
Thanks to the good defense, the Clippers only scored 23 points in the first quarter, which did not allow the Clippers to take a clear lead in the first quarter.

Since the start of the new season, the Trail Blazers played the worst game in the first quarter.

The first is the strength of the Clippers. Last season, the Clippers ranked last in the Western Conference and finally got the No. 2 pick. The media rumored that Elgin Baylor was about to leave get out of class, but come on, the Clippers are alive again!It has become a team competing for the playoffs again!
Whenever the general manager position is on the line, Elgin Baylor is like picking up the 'NBA team's instruction manual for the NBA team in Los Angeles'.

In the past summer, Baylor did a good job in drafting and signing. They signed Rick Bronson, who averaged 6 points and 5 assists per game at the start, and selected Livingston, a high school student who averaged 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game at the start. With the starting point guard Marko Jaric sharing the offensive task, the Clippers' young talents have come to life, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and they played against the team next door.

The second is the Trail Blazers' own problems. For example, Ruben Patterson was very dissatisfied with playing on the bench and wanted to prove his strength.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have a good foundation. In the second quarter, the Clippers beat the Clippers 23 to 20, and the point difference was narrowed to 1 point after halftime.

In the third quarter, the difference in strength between the two teams was revealed. Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Rahim, and Randolph rushed together, scoring 35 points in a single quarter, scoring a score of 35 to 22 in a single quarter. 77 points against the Clippers 65 to 12.

Although the Clippers scored 30 to 24 in the final quarter, the Trail Blazers still beat the Clippers 101 to 95 without any risk.

Relying on Randolph's season-high 28 points and Liu Xiu's 22 points, the Trail Blazers started off with a 6-game winning streak!
