Chapter 374 374. Mid-Season Coping Strategies
"The host is eager to take off, and eager to be the focus of attention, but this is the era when Nash, one of the most dazzling stars in NBA history, rises, and the light of the snake shark is covered.

Run forward against the wind!warden.

Blooming Rose series of tasks: Marching against the wind triggers.

Goal 1: The next time you play against the Suns, the host must have more assists than Steve Nash.

Goal 2: The host needs to lead the team to defeat the Suns in the next match against the Suns.

Reward: talent fragment*1. "

"Talent fragments: When the host's ability evaluation breaks through to the first-class level, the task can be triggered to obtain. After accumulating 3 talent fragments, the system will match and integrate the talents of the exclusive host according to the characteristics of the host's play style. There is a chance to open it at the third level, please be careful with the host.)”

Treat it with caution... it's cheating!
Liu Xiu looked at Target 1, the corner of her mouth twitching.

After looking through the team manual, the next match against the Suns will be in March, which is still early.

It's useless to worry now, let's talk about it later.

There is always a chance, and it is impossible for Nash to say that the assists in each game are more than the opponent with the highest assists.

He can only say hell, the trigger condition of this task is definitely not losing to Nash twice, but breaking through to the first-class ability evaluation.

"Main ability rating: 85.

Athletic ability: speed 90, strength 92, jumping 86, flexibility 94, stamina 91.

Basic skills: 73 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 93 ball control, 89 passing accuracy, 84 turns, 69 strides, 79 turning overs, 80 emergency stops...

Skills: 89 low-post shots, 79 shots after dribbling, 79 acceleration layups on the move, 69 European steps, 69 fadeaway jump shots, 80 rhythm flow breakthroughs, 81 front-of-the-way breakthroughs, 70 emergency stop jump shots, emergency stop catches 60 shots, 60 post-up skills..."

The new year has come, and the ability evaluation has also entered a new level - the first-class level!

After one-third of the season, CIC finally broke through to the first-class level of 85.

Kobe's rhythm flow broke through to an excellent level of 80.

Recently, when the team was idle, Liu Xiu discussed with Payton and the trainer how to play more violently in the low post. Hitting application skills are becoming more and more perfect... The low back hitting that has been stuck for more than half a year has finally been raised to the first-class limit of 89.

The foundation is solid, and at a certain moment, a breakthrough will come naturally.

I just didn't expect this moment to be the time to play the Suns...

……

After the strength is raised to the first-class level, there will be a chance to unlock the talent!
Liu Xiu thought about the first-class players he had seen, and they seemed to have their own unique points.

Maggette, the impact is unparalleled; Anthony, the offensive kaleidoscope; Reid, the shooting talent is full; Francis, the all-around... Not to mention the top stars and super giants, they have more than one or two outstanding features!
The top and super giants here include only looking at offense and only looking at defense.

And those stars who are not at the top level at their peak, even if they are at an excellent level, seem to have few outstanding points.

He reckoned that, just like a technology needs to have its own characteristics to reach the top, if it wants to stand out and become a first-class star, it must have its own characteristics. After all, a first-class star is in a good environment and is likely to be selected as an All-Star.

After watching Artest and Nash win the best player of the month in the East and West, Okafor and Udri won the best rookie of the month in the East and West, and Carlisle and D'Antoni won the best coach of the month in the East and West. , Liu Xiu first put aside the task of 'going against the wind'.

The task of 'tenacious will' is also very stressful. Fortunately, the Suns are a team in the Pacific Division, and they have to play against each other 4 times a season. Teams in the Southwest Division usually play three times a season.

Twice to play the Suns, have to win at least one...

The pressure in March, let’s talk about it in March, now, play well and improve your strength, then you can better deal with the pressure.

……

……

It's mid-season!

During the 4-day 3-game period, relying on the excitement of the Christmas game, it was hard to see the tired side of the players.

But after returning to Portland after 4 days and 3 games, everything that should have come in the middle of the season has come.

Therefore, after returning to Portland, the Trail Blazers arranged a rest in addition to the day when they just came back on the 1st, and also arranged a rest on the second rest day on January 1, so that the players could relieve their physical and mental fatigue.

In the middle of the season, all teams have such a situation. At this time, in addition to the physical condition of the players and their own adjustment ability, what the coach and the team do is also very important.

In the middle of the season, it is the stage that really widens the gap between strong teams and underdogs.

The Trail Blazers management and coaching staff are under a lot of pressure now, and the players have finally reached this stage after 30 games...not all!
On the afternoon of the 2nd, the vice president and the head coach fell silent while looking at the photo of the warden and the mayor of Portland in the newspaper.

According to the news, after they returned to Portland yesterday afternoon, Liu Xiu was invited to go to the Portland City Hall to do work related to tourism promotion. One car, an excavator from San Antonio.

They had also seen the video of Liu Xiu driving an excavator in the documentary filmed by the imperial court before...

The vice president scolded angrily: "Oh, damn it, this brat, he has the time and energy to do these useless things, why don't he spend more time training?"

...after a day...

"It's agreed not to run into it directly, warden, you XXX, you're a fool!"

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to."

"I can hear you taking a deep breath!"

"No, you heard it wrong."

"I can't hear you wrong."

"No, you just heard it wrong, Gary, you don't need to take a deep breath to recharge your energy, but you are right, it's really good for a player who is not much taller than me..."

"XXXXXXXX******XXXX..."

The warden and the glove were singled out one-on-one, which aroused the onlookers of the teammates.

After Liu Xiu's technique was restricted by gloves, he didn't close his body without saying a word, which made his teammates call him an expert.

The old players who had been dominated by Payton's poisonous mouth saw this scene and began to believe that there is a god in this world-heaven and reincarnation.

Can't beat the ball, can't beat the quarrel, and have to teach the opponent's skills. Glove Payton also has today!

On January 1, the day before the Trail Blazers played against the Heat at home, today's training mission for the Trail Blazers-the team training game.

There are 3-on-3 training games, 5-on-5 training games with official game rules, one-on-one duels... The enthusiasm of the Blazers players for training is high!

The newcomer Fred Jones also showed his extraordinary dunk skills and super physical fitness.

"Fred Jones, 25 years old, 193 cm, 95 kg, SG/SF ability evaluation to be updated, speed 89, strength 86, jumping 96..."

Fred Jones was a very good player in his college days. He was elected as the best player of the year in the Pacific Ten Schools League, the strongest league in the NCAA. This league includes UCLA, Southern California, Arizona State University, Arizona University... He participated in the election At the age of 23, he was still able to enter the NBA with the No.14 pick in the first round.

Super bounce is its most famous label, and won the slam dunk king in the second grade.

After entering the NBA, he is not as good as he was in college, especially his height of 193 cm is actually better at playing small forwards, responsible for wing shots and cutting into the attack frame, which is greatly restricted.

But after two years of training, he became a very good role player in the golden period of his career, the backbone player of the team at the $300 million to $400 million level.

There is an advantage to having players join in the middle of the season. They will play games soon after they come. If the new players are suitable for the team's style of play, then they will integrate quickly. A certain ability to break through with the ball and pass the ball well... Fred Jones' style of play is very suitable for the Trail Blazers. He can control and respond without occupying the ball. His teammates naturally like it. A very active and enthusiastic person, he quickly integrated into the team.

Another new addition to the Trail Blazers, George Lynch, is a bragging 12th-year veteran. He often mentions that he has partnered with the Magician and reached the finals with Iverson... The game fits into the situation It's hard to say, he was not put on the active list when he played the Suns.

George Lynch's rich game experience and outstanding defensive skills are highly valued by the coaching staff. Although he likes to brag, his rich game experience is still valued by the young players of the Trail Blazers.

For most players, after playing in the NBA for a year or two, becoming a superstar like Payton is no longer their ideal. Becoming a player like George Lynch who has played in the NBA for many years is what they should have. expect.

Who can say that George Lynch is not important to the 2001ers who reached the Finals in 76?
The atmosphere of today's training game is very good, and the onlookers are very satisfied with the Blazers vice president Kevin Pritchar.

The effect of this attempt is very good!Although the coach is lazy, the ideas he puts forward are often not bad.

Except for a few players in their team, most of them have a good training attitude, and they haven't slack off in the middle of the season, but this positive attitude lies in "wanting to practice".

When active training becomes the 'rational training' arranged by the team, negative emotions will naturally arise.

However, when training is turned into an intra-team competition, the situation is suddenly different, and everyone is very enthusiastic.

For example—is there any perimeter player on the Trail Blazers who doesn't want to hammer the Warden once?
However, the vice president saw Liu Xiu's performance in one-on-one duels and confrontation training matches, which was no different from what he expected.

There is no way to ask this brat to train hard. If he doesn't train, he will improve much faster than others!

Because the vice president can't show the authority of his team's second-in-command, he constantly contributes healing value to the warden, and his teammates also contribute healing value to the warden because of the same thing...
