Healing Basketball

Chapter 322 322. He thought he was Nash?

The strategy that was painstakingly planned didn't come up with an opportunity, but this unexpected opportunity came just as it said it would.

Thanks to Liu Xiu's focus, patience, and keen judgment of the opportunity when he played, and the ability to seize the opportunity!

The opportunity comes from the Rockets combo guard Bob Sura.

This is a 31-year-old white combo guard who was selected 95th in the first round of 17.

Sura looked down on Yao Ming inexplicably. Seeing Mike James soaring, he also thought he could soar, but he couldn’t make a shot, his breakthrough was blocked, and he wanted to make a white chocolate pass and hit his opponent’s leg up.

During this period, Liu Xiu made a counter-attack layup and made a single shot.

Fortunately, after Sura made a pass error and hit Randolph on the leg, everyone huddled together, and finally the ball went out of bounds. Although the referee finally gave the Blazers the ball, Yao Ming cooperated with Joe Smith in the battle. Raheem cut in with a cap, preventing the Blazers from overtaking the score in a wave.

However, when the Rockets attacked, Sura wanted to play singles, and Yao Ming finally cursed.

Although Sura didn't understand Yao Ming's swear words, he understood the phrase 'tomato'. He heard that Yao Ming would yell the name of the fruit every time he was in a bad mood. It was scary for the little giant to get angry. Pass it on.

Yao Ming turned around and hit a hook in singles, stopping the bleeding for the Rockets, and the score came to 46-43.

When it came time for the Trail Blazers to attack, Liu Xiu ran tactically and received a pass from Raheem on the right sideline. Liu Xiu, who missed the first two three-pointers tonight, still made a decisive shot after receiving the ball... Finally scored!
Liu Xiu seized the opportunity given by Sura, scored 4 goals and scored 3 points in 7 rounds, and played a wave of 7-2 alone to help the Trail Blazers tie the score!
This was too much of a blow for the Rockets.

Mike James scored 3 three-pointers in a row to ignite the confidence of the Rockets, but was extinguished by Sura and Liu Xiu.

For the rest of the second quarter, Yao Ming served as the main offensive point for the Rockets, playing fiercely and hard, but the Trail Blazers, who started all the way, were not afraid, and seized the opportunity to take the lead, playing a wave of 12-9. , After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Rockets by 58 points 55 to 3 and entered the intermission!
首节10分、第二节靠着那波连砍7分拿到12分，刘秀半场22分3板3助攻2抢断，力压姚明的半场20分6板2助攻3盖帽，率领开拓者队扭转局势！
In the second half, the Rockets' rotation did not show the same performance from the last few minutes of the first quarter to the first few minutes of the second quarter. Sura's wave of confident operations hurt the morale of the Rockets too much.

And the Rockets' defense against Liu Xiu has become stricter. Liu Xiu scored 22 points in the half. If he scored more than ten points in the third quarter and scored more than 20 points in the final quarter, wouldn't he be 60+ in a single game?The key point is that Liu Xiu really got 60+ in a single game!

Little Flying Squirrel, Lynch Hunter, Raheem, Randolph and others made good use of Liu Xiu's threat to score or help their teammates score.

第三节开拓者队打出了单节26比20的比分，将比分打成了84比75，领先优势扩大到9分！
Yao Ming didn't start until the second half of the third quarter. Among the Rockets' 20 points in the third quarter, 13 points were scored in less than 6 minutes in the second half of the third quarter.

At the end of the quarter, Yao Ming played the entire quarter, scoring 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, leading the team to 24 points in a single quarter. At the same time, the Trail Blazers only scored 22 points in the final quarter, but still failed to come back.

姚明拿到赛季第2次单场30+，34分13板3助攻4盖帽。

Liu Xiu only scored 10 points in the second half and made 23 of 11 shots in the game, including 6 of 2 three-pointers and 10 of 8 free throws. He scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. His score was not as good as that of Yao Ming, but his ball The team won!
Liu Xiu seized the opportunity at the key point of the game to help the team play an advantage, and the outstanding teammates played steadily and withstood the impact of Yao Ming leading the team.

In the end, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Rockets 106 to 99!
With a single-digit point difference, the Rockets have never lost hope of a comeback, and there was also a comeback opportunity in the second half, but the Rockets had no one who could seize the comeback opportunity.

After the match, Yao Ming said to Liu Xiu unconvinced: "If it wasn't for Sura, you wouldn't have won!"

Liu Xiu said shyly, "But you have Houston Nash. I like him so much. I hope your coach will give him more chances next time."

"Who??? Houston Nash??!!! He's crazy on his horse!!"

Yao Ming was puzzled for a moment before he realized it.

He looked at Sura, recalling the changes after this teammate joined.

Sura was not like this at the beginning, but became like this after the start of this season, and the speed of change was very fast.

At first Yao Ming didn't think in that direction...

When Liu Xiu talked with his friends about this 30-year-old combo guard who looked down on Yao Ming, he had a guess—maybe Sura thought he was the next Nash.

Nash averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists per game last season. This year he took off directly after becoming the core of the Suns' perimeter.

Sura looked at his statistics when he was in the Hawks last season. After averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, he may feel that he is even better.

After the implementation of the new regulations, this is not an exception.

The Jazz don't want Arroyo, because Arroyo also wants to emulate Nash. Last season, Arroyo averaged 12 points and 5 assists per game. In the Olympics, he even beat the Dream Six team. The ambition is there, but the strength Couldn't keep up, and was sent to Boston, which likes white players.

Of course, there are also successful examples-the Kings' Bibby averaged career highs in points, rebounds, and steals.

Seeing the warden's schadenfreude, and guessing that his team might have a strange man from Nash, the little giant's mentality exploded!
……

……

The warden and the little giant had a wonderful duel. Except for those only fans, for most Chinese basketball fans, this game is very exciting to watch, and whoever loses wins.

But for the players themselves, it is definitely not the case. Yao Ming was depressed after losing. Knowing why there is a player on the team is even more depressed than not knowing. A game in such a good state is because Houston Nash lost. Well, 7 wins and 3 losses became 7 wins and 4 losses, and the first place in the Southwest Division was taken away by the Spurs.

For Liu Xiu, he is very happy to win, and even more happy to win under the attention of tens of millions of fans in China.

On the next day, on the morning of November 11, AJ's people came to Liu Xiu's home with new sneakers.

This was originally a lot of happiness, but listening to the words of the person in charge, Liu Xiu couldn't stop his pain.

"Miss, what about the promised generation of generals?"

"Each of our signature shoe collections takes time to polish..."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just release this as the general's generation."

"No, no, no, this is just an upgraded version of the warden's first generation. The new series of boots can't be so hasty."

"It's okay, I don't mind, you see that the color scheme is different from the warden's generation, we can use the general series as the companion series of the warden series."

"No! You have to mind, your general series of boots is a series of boots that we attach great importance to, and must be carefully polished..."

Liu Xiu struggled for a while, but the result was another ineffective communication.

The one who sent the sneakers was only a person in charge, not an executive who can make a decision. It doesn't matter what he says, he can only appease Liu Xiu.

This Liu Xiu also knows, but the opinion has to be expressed, the person in charge has to tell his attitude to the higher-ups.

But Liu Xiu also feels that the signature shoes of the General series are far away...

'The Warden's Generation' is selling so well!
Compared with James who can only gain popularity in the United States now, Liu Xiu's signature shoes, which shined in the Athens Olympics, are selling quite well in Europe, and they are even more popular in the Chinese market.

There is no need to start a new IP at all, and the spread of the nickname General is far less than that of the Warden.

It was supposed to launch the "Warden II" next summer, but AJ wanted to boost sales and sent an upgraded version.

Liu Xiu took a look at the sneakers. There was an additional color scheme, and the lines became softer. If you don't look closely, you can't see much change...

Seeing Liu Xiu's gloomy look, the person in charge still had to appease him, and asked, "Warden, what do you think the name of the upgrade should be?"

Liu Xiu heard the words and complained: "What's it called? Puruo version? 1.5 version? Colorful version? Supreme version? Collector's version? Iron box version? Super large cup version? Deluxe version? Plus version?"

The person in charge was originally just trying to appease him. If Liu Xiu had a good name, it wouldn’t be a problem to use it. The XXX version of the prison is not so important. It’s just a difference from the earliest released version.

I didn't expect Liu Xiu to say such a suffix!
Now a sneaker needs to be resold, generally using 'reissue' or 'remake', the popularity is much lower than the original.

But if it's these names...

"Warden, wait a minute, slow down..."

The lady in charge took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the suffixes Liu Xiu said.

……

After sending away the person in charge of AJ, Liu Xiu put aside the long-awaited resentment of the 'General Generation'.

As an endorsement, you get paid, you get free custom shoes to wear, and you need a bicycle.

At noon, Liu Xiu rubbed his sister's head and drove to the airport.

Played a wave of 5 consecutive games. After staying at home for half a month, he embarked on an away trip again. The Eastern Conference had three consecutive trips. My aunt helped prepare a box of heavy luggage. The opponents were the Raptors and the Nets in the Northeast. Team, Celtics.

After a few hours of flying, Liu Xiu followed the team to the hotel in Toronto. After a short rest, he was called by the coaching staff to a meeting to discuss tactics. Payton, Lynch Hunter, and McDavid were called together. Veteran players such as Sri, as well as core players such as Raheem, Randolph, and Little Flying Squirrel.

In the game against the Rockets, everyone felt the benefits of the adjustment, and they also learned about Liu Xiu's improvement as a shooting guard.

After Payton, Derek Anderson, Raheem, Randolph and others helped Liu Xiu share the work of organizing offense with the ball and passing the ball in transit, it became easier for Liu Xiu to score!

Liu Xiu used this to score 30+ in a single game for the first time after switching to shooting guard. When the team needs to score, Liu Xiu can ignore other things and focus on how to score, and other teammates will take care of it.

There must be a loss of strength at this stage. After all, he gave up the successful style of play last season, but the upper limit has become higher!It also solves many hidden dangers!
At present, the tactical framework is still under construction, according to the actual situation of the game and the player's feeling of the game, we will continue to add bricks and make detailed adjustments.

After a two-hour tactical meeting, the meeting came to an end near dinner time.

There is no rush to adjust, just adjust as you play.

On the way to the hotel restaurant, the coach sighed: "Warden, I originally thought that our biggest problem was you as the core role of the game change, but I didn't expect you to adapt to the new role in just a few games. The new style of play, our tactical preparations and the adjustment progress of the whole team have restricted your adjustment progress."

The words were not so direct, but everyone understood. The rest of the coaching staff and the players participating in the meeting really admired Liu Xiu for this.

"I've said it before. It's definitely okay for me to change my position. I'm just worried that you will be slowed down, but I didn't expect you to really slow down."

As soon as these words came out, the teammates were excited. Liu Xiu was ready for a long time, and fled quickly after speaking. The teammates and coaches cursed and started the hunting mode.

Liu Xiu is running in the snow under the setting sun. This is his burning youth...
