Healing Basketball

Chapter 33 33. Alternative Summer League Overlord (4500 words please collect and ask for tickets!)

Although Anne Hathaway's management team is not in a state of desperation these days, it feels like a lot of trouble, for sure.

For NBA player Liu Xiu, things like romance have almost no impact.

But for Anne - Hathaway, the impact is not small.

But this matter is yours, and Liu Xiu did nothing wrong. After discussing with his management team, Anne-Hathaway could only take a cold treatment.

Who would have imagined that Liu Xiu suddenly made such remarks...

Seeing that the direction of the news began to change, there was a lot of news about her being unkind, pitiful, and scum... Anne Hathaway's mood was very complicated.

It's just an appointment at a special time and in a special environment.

This is perfectly normal in the American world.

Anne Hathaway's assistant Allie Saunders sighed: "Anne, our big beauty is really attractive. He said this deliberately for your career, right?"

"Maybe……"

Anne Hathaway felt the same way.

During the short contact, although she didn't know Liu Xiu very well, she could tell that Liu Xiu was not the kind of person who couldn't use his brain well.

Anne Hathaway shook her head, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter anyway, I'm an actor, and he's a handsome player surrounded by countless beauties..."

There are more good-looking actresses, and more good-looking men. There are more than a dozen NBA lottery shows every year...

……

On Liu Xiu's side, there were some gossip news during the three-day break, which basically had no effect on him.

On August 8, at the Delta Airline Arena in Salt Lake City, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers is about to start.

Liu Xiu moved her body on the sidelines, attracting cheers from the female fans.

"Jess, why do you still have so many female fans? No, there seem to be more!" Travis Outlaw envied.

"I'm also a little surprised, maybe...they all want me?"

How thick-skinned!But Travis Outlaw also has to admit that this face is really handsome.

Liu Xiu was also quite surprised. After he said those words yesterday, Bill Duffy went to the hotel where the Trail Blazers were staying at night, constantly complaining that his fan support would decline.

As a Trail Blazers player, it is rare to have so many fans support, and she is also a female fan with strong spending power.

But the actual situation is not the same thing.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Xiu's attention is not here. On the court, his attention is on the game, on the opponent's players.

The Clippers selected two centers this year, one is Chris Kaman, who has had some calls for the No.

The Greek Sharks are unable to play in the NBA because of their contracts, but the Clippers have another rookie, Matt Barnes, who was selected by the Grizzlies with the 17th overall pick in the second round last year.

Liu Xiu's attention was on Matt Barnes, because as soon as he looked at this tough-looking small forward, he found that the other party was staring at him, and the two stared at each other. Cowardly, whoever looks away first is a dog!
Travis Outlaw approached Liu Xiu: "Jess, look, the players on the opposite side are really jealous of you and are eyeing you. This guy is not a good guy. Last year he fought with his opponent in the summer league. He was waived by the Cavaliers, and no team is willing to give him a contract for one year."

Jealousy is normal.

The grievances between people are sometimes very simple, and jealousy is one of the reasons that easily lead to grievances.

It doesn't make sense, maybe Matt Barnes doesn't even know the actor Anne Hathaway.

But as a young player, Liu Xiu can show off like this, be on the news, and be able to... It's just very enviable.

What Liu Xiu said yesterday was widely reported. Originally, not many people knew about it, but now almost all the athletes in North America know about it.

The circle is that big.

Hearing that the high school students seemed to be gloating, Liu Xiu chose to be a dog, tilted her neck and looked up at Travis Outlaw and said, "You are all small forwards..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Travis Outlaw didn't know why, and then, seeing Liu Xiu turned his head and yelled towards the opposite side...

"Matt Barnes on the opposite side, look here, this, our team's talented high school small forward, he's going to blow you up tonight! Wash your ass and wait!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xiu tilted her neck again and looked up at Travis Outlaw and said, "Come on, hit him hard, blow him up, if he hits you, I will help you, believe me, he hits you!" I will pay him back twice as many times as you beat."

Travis Outlaw gapes - thank you!

He regretted it so much, he regretted just once again having the idea of ​​wanting to recognize the guy in front of him as the boss!
He swore that he would never recognize this guy as the boss in his life!

……

Liu Xiu's sudden provocation before the game...provoking for his teammates stunned the players, coaches...even the referees.

This is... looking for a conflict?

The referee became cautious. If there were fights in the summer league, it would affect career development!
Matt Barnes, one of the parties involved, was at a loss and said he was stimulated, but he was speechless.

It is very common to stare at each other before the game, or even speak harshly. Liu Xiu's operation...

Anyway, Trail Blazers assistant coach Kevin Pritchar is not well.

Think about when Liu Xiu first came here, although he was not a good baby, he was still pretty good.

But now... 'Is our team really cursed?Who will learn from bad? '

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers started.

The summer league teams of the two teams play very differently. The Trail Blazers are good at attacking and the Clippers are good at defending.

This is the difference brought about by the characteristics of the NBA players of the two teams.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu sorted out the offense, Travis Outlaw was the main attacker, and Matt Carroll responded to the shot and had a decent setter ability. Playing games around the three must be offensive.

All 4 preliminaries were won, and the confidence of the trio in cooperation became more and more abundant. Although Liu Xiu often "hit" his teammates, he would always mention "what is going on in the NBA". In the Rocky Mountain Summer League, the trio was very confident. It is the 'Big Three' of this event!
For the Clippers, Barnes and Kaman are both defensive players. One is on the front line and the other is a center. It is easy to build a defensive system.

The college players of the two teams are not the top players, that is to say, they are basically not the core of their respective university teams. Time to adjust tactics and play even better than in the preliminaries!
Judging from the scene, after the start of the game, the Trail Blazers had the advantage.

But the score was delayed!
Defensive teams are tough, and this is reflected in the Clippers.

Although I don't know why, since the high school rookie on the opposite side is provocative, Barnes, who has a tough personality, naturally wants to fight Travis Outlaw.

Kaman is a boring gourd, but he also knows that he must show himself well. It is not important to say that the summer league is not important, but if he can't go far in unimportant games, he thinks he is the best player in the 03 class. It is difficult for him to accept it.

首节打到6分11秒进入第二个官方暂停时，开拓者队11比7领先快船队4分，刘秀被换下。

Kevin Pritchar replaced Liu Xiu for two purposes, one is to let Liu Xiu rest for a while.

The other is to compare the difference between whether Liu Xiu is present or not.

到首节打完时，趁着刘秀被换下的4分钟，快船队打出了一波8比3！15比14，快船队反超开拓者队1分！
In the second quarter, Kevin Pritchar replaced Liu Xiu again, and Travis Outlaw, a high school student, was young, strong and energetic, and continued to play.

The Trail Blazers' ability to train players has always been outstanding. Liu Xiu is characterized by his strong tactical execution ability, and Travis Outlaw needs a lot of playing time to get used to the rhythm of the adult game.

Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar chatted on the sidelines after the second quarter.

"I discovered that when I played against the Cavaliers, Jess has a pretty good defensive mobilization ability." Maurice Cheeks' tone was a little smug.

Being pretended by this guy again, Kevin Pritchar said with a smile: "Your tone seems to be that you have such ability..."

"I already had it. I was a superstar back then, which is different from a role player like you."

"..."

Damn, can you still have a good chat?
Why are you becoming more and more... Xiuer?

An idea flashed through Kevin Pritchar's mind... Did Liu Xiu come to them and learn badly?Or will their team become more aggressive because of Liu Xiu?

Anyway, lately Maurice Cheeks has become more and more fond of telling the hard truth.

Kevin Pritchar had the idea for a flash, just for a split second.

If Liu Xiu knew Kevin Pritchar's current thoughts, he would tell him one word, which could easily relieve those grief and indignation—Fan is dead...

……

On the court, after the two teams played a quarter of the game, they both had a certain understanding of each other's characteristics, and they also had a clear feeling for the opponent's competitive state tonight.

By the first official timeout of the second quarter, the scores of the two teams were still very low.

It can be seen from the first quarter that although the Trail Blazers once had the advantages of the scene and the score, their scores were far lower than in the previous games. That is to say, in fact, the Trail Blazers were brought into the slow pace of the Clippers. , That's why Liu Xiu was quickly overtaken after being replaced.

Because when Liu Xiu was on the court, his excellent tactical execution ability led the team to play tactics steadily in a slowed down rhythm.

In the first three minutes of the second quarter, Matt Barnes led the Clippers to speed up their defensive rotation, making supplementary defenses more active. In these three minutes, the Trail Blazers only scored 3 points, 4 to 18. The Blazers trailed by two points.

Entering the official timeout, seeing that the coaching staff did not make any substitutions, Liu Xiu directly dragged a few teammates to discuss on the court.

After playing so many summer league games, Liu Xiu already knows very well that for a game of this level, let alone whether the coaching staff has the time to adjust, even if there is, they may not be able to play well. Not enough power, but for most college players, they don't have the ability to execute those on-the-spot changes.

At this time, the coaching staff makes adjustments, and the probability is not as good as that of the players on the field to make adjustments according to their own feelings.

Soon, the timeout ended, the Trail Blazers had the ball and served from the center line.

Liu Xiu received the ball and launched an attack.

Travis Outlaw's run is more aggressive, and Andre Dieng picks and rolls for Travis Outlaw's flank and takes Kaman out.

At this time, Barnes' defensive awareness was revealed, and he shrank back to the basket...and was pushed away from the side!
Barnes turned his head and saw that Liu Xiu rushed to the inside lane and made a layup!

The Trail Blazers had three players creating for Travis Outlaw, a guy cutting on the right baseline, holding the opponent to play forward, a shooter moving in the left corner, and a center running a pick-and-roll for him...but actually The main attacker this round was Liu Xiu!

"Healing value +47, from Matt Barnes."

Liu Xiu patted the resisting arm, turned around and retreated.

The opponent's mood swings due to him tonight are obviously more than usual!The more the total amount, the more emotional fluctuations about basketball and about him.

There is quality!Obviously, the healing value provided by the opponent tonight is a few points higher than usual. In the same situation, it will always be a few points higher.

Liu Xiu's point is not the fire in the girl's heart, but the fire in the hearts of other basketball players...

The strength on the court... He is very good at this. Simply relying on the game itself will make the opponent have more emotional fluctuations towards him. There is no problem in the summer league, but he can enter the NBA?

But he discovered his unique advantage, so he has to make good use of it...

When I was a student, there was a concept full of childlike innocence - he was just good-looking, and it didn't matter how good his grades were.

When I grow up, I realize that it is really important to look good.

This will definitely make his basketball career more difficult and will bring more targets...but only with hard work can there be rewards!

On the court, the score was tied, and the Clippers had to work hard to score again.

The Clippers’ style of play in the Rocky Mountain Summer League this time is similar to that of the Pistons in the playoffs. Their coach Mike Dunleavy is capable. Seeing that Kaman has the potential to become a defensive core center, he decisively moved in this direction. nourish.

But with this lineup, after purely playing defense and slowing down the tempo, it is really difficult to score!
This time the Clippers attacked, the Trail Blazers blocked the flanks and put the middle lane to the opponent's tactic.

Not to mention, although Matt Barnes has almost no offensive ability in the NBA, he was one of the main scorers in college. This time the Trail Blazers gave him this opportunity.

Barnes rushed to the frame with the ball in the middle, and made a layup...Miss!Got disturbed!

Liu Xiu came back and grabbed the defensive rebound. The Clippers blocked the defense very quickly. The Trail Blazers failed to counterattack, but Liu Xiu tried his best to speed up the pace and create opportunities for the transition of positional battles!

Barnes has great defensive awareness, is aggressive, and has a lot of defensive talent...but it's too green right now!Lack of experience!

Liu Xiu rushed to the frame, Barnes immediately retracted, Liu Xiu lobbed the ball, Barnes was on guard and took a step back, but Liu Xiu did not throw the ball into the air, but threw it to the middle of the left rear ...Travis Outlaw cuts in the middle to catch the ball, his legs spring up like springs, and he smashes the ball into the basket!
22 to 20, overtaking the score!
……

On the court, Liu Xiu helped the team regain the initiative through an official timeout adjustment.

And unlike the first quarter, this time they really took the initiative and began to pull the rhythm in the direction they are used to.

The pace of the game is still slow, the scoring is still low, but in some stages, Travis Outlaw's speed, the impact of the athletic interior ... are better used.

The two coaches of the Trail Blazers on the sidelines watched the situation, and they knew that they were going to prepare for the semifinals without any accidents.

Obviously, because there is a player like Liu Xiu, even if the No. [-] pick and No. [-] team come here, they are unlikely to be their opponents of the Trail Blazers.

One-on-one basketball, Liu Xiu is not their opponent, but with a group of college students playing tactics, these people are not as good as Liu Xiu.

The trio of Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, and Matt Carroll are giants here.

Excellent!In the eyes of the two of them, Liu Xiu is too good!
It's not about personal ability, but about the characteristics of the style of play!
Looking at Liu Xiu, they saw hope——the hope of linking the group of big players of the Trail Blazers together!

Pippen used to do this, but Pippen couldn't hold on last season, and the team didn't plan to renew his contract...

The management's actions, the two knew that they wanted to break through and then stand up, but the two of them still wanted to struggle!
