Healing Basketball

Chapter 420 420. Surprising Expansion (5000 words)
A piece of 'Name of Genius', plus [-] healing points, Liu Xiu felt that it was worth it!

If there is any regret, it is that there are too many things to learn in the "basic pick and roll skills". Now he has only learned 4 basic training items.

There's still a lot to learn to be a really good ball-handling pick-and-roll player.

It is estimated that every week cannot perfect all the top-level training methods.

However, he is not a pure ball-holding pick-and-roll offensive player, so he is not in a hurry. Their team does not have the configuration to make him a ball-handling guard who mainly focuses on pick-and-roll offense.

It's just the direction in which he's expanding his technology.

Of course, now that you have started to expand, you have to practice hard, and you can't waste that special card and so many healing points.

I had two and a half hours of training this afternoon, and there will be competitions next. I definitely don't have any energy left for the simulation training today.

So, while waiting to enter the arena after warming up in the evening, Liu Xiu went to practice a set of top arc pick-and-rolls before moving his feet.

The content is very simple. After the pick-and-roll, take a small step and connect with three options-a shot that takes off after the small step hits the ground, a full-speed and indomitable rush, and a start with mid-range emergency stop preparation.

On the sidelines of the training field, two temporary teammates who had finished warming up were watching Liu Xiu's training.

Kobe asked, "Steve, you taught?"

Nash did not answer, but asked: "I heard that he learned your breakthrough in a week last summer?"

Kobe replied: "Yes, but it was actually an afternoon. I also taught him some other things that week..."

Saying that, Kobe and Nash both sighed in unison.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also sighing, Nash asked: "Kobe, do you regret teaching him?"

Kobe shook his head: "No, I don't teach him, he is so popular, some people are willing to teach him, especially those veterans like Payton, who want to get the title of 'the warden's teacher' for a long time."

Nash nodded. In fact, he also had the same idea. It is a very face-saving thing to teach a powerful junior.

He has not won so many honors like Kobe. Now, including this All-Star, he only has 3 All-Stars and 2 Third Teams.

"And if I teach him, I can better understand his ability in this area and think of better ways to defend him."

"Oh...but in this case, wouldn't he understand you better and defend you better?"

"I have no problem guarding him, but he certainly won't be the one guarding me. Their team has other people who guard me better...but you are different. You two are the same height."

Watching Kobe's smile gradually become cheap, Nash wanted to scold the street!
On the one hand, I didn't expect Kobe to have such a side.

On the other hand Kobe was right!Both he and Liu Xiu are 188 cm barefoot and 190 cm in shoes!

Liu Xiu's improvement on the defensive end has been praised, but he is not the son of the wind!
Great!
At this time, a soft call came from the training ground.

"Steve, Kobe..."

The two followed the sound and saw that Nowitzki was waving at them in the player tunnel.

They will be entering the arena later, what is Nowitzki looking for them for?He also looked like a sneaky thief.

Kobe pointed to Liu Xiu who was practicing his footwork, and Nowitzki waved his hand.

The two of them understood that they must say something behind Liu Xiu's back, so they quickened their pace unconsciously, and quickly walked into the player's tunnel.

After they came over, the two were taken aback. Duncan, Yao Ming, Ray Allen, Gasol, Randolph, Little Flying Squirrel... All-star teammates all gathered together!Nash saw that Xiaobawang and hacker were also there, and his expression was as confused as him.

Kobe and Nash looked at each other. Is this the whole team going to gang up on the warden?

Even the butcher and little flying squirrel can't understand that the warden wants to rebel?
……

……

Fans have plenty to watch during All-Star weekend.

In the rookie challenge, you can watch the group of people who represent the future of the NBA; in the three-point contest, you can enjoy the duel of the best three-pointers in the world; in the skill challenge, you can enjoy the performance of the players with the best skills; Those inhuman physical fitness and unconstrained dunks...

But during the All-Star Weekend, what fans most want to watch is of course the All-Star Game itself!

Usually, the Pepsi Center only arranges more than 9000 seats, and it has not changed during the rookie challenge and triathlon competitions, but the seats have been increased tonight, according to the theory that this arena can hold the maximum number of seats when a basketball game is held. 90% seated - 33358 seats!
At 6 o'clock in the evening, when the All-Stars were still preparing for the game, the pre-game performances had already begun in the stadium.

Compared with the rookie game and the triathlon, tonight's pre-match performance is the real gathering of big names.

However, performances such as acrobatics, magic, singing, and dancing are just warm-ups.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the host shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest party of the 2005 Denver All-Star Carnival has begun!"

The fans who had been cheering unceasingly just now were instantly ignited at this moment, releasing their real excitement and real excitement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first, we have Big-Ben, Ben Wallace..."

In the sound of the host's introduction, the substitutes of the visiting team's East All-Star team began to appear.

When each All-Star plays, a highlight will be played.

Ben Wallace, James, Wade, Artest, Arenas, Rasheed Wallace and Kidd appeared one after another.

Last year, Liu Xiu didn't take part in the All-Star Game. This year was different. He cheered with the fans on the sidelines. When Tianzun came out, he even yelled "Tianzun, you look the most handsome when you smile".

Immediately after the home team's West team's substitutes came on the stage, Ray Allen took the lead, Gasol, Randolph, Flying Squirrel, Marion, Little Bully, and Nowitzki entered the field one after another.

The first and last ones are the representatives of qualifications or strength.

After all 14 All-Star substitutes came on the field, the spotlight was on the players lined up in two rows, and the live broadcast and the big screen were showing close-ups, introducing these All-Star players selected by the coach.

Not all All-Stars are players familiar to basketball fans. This year is okay, like the Eastern All-Star backup center Brad Miller in 03, who averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game that season. Damn, Big Z only averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game when he was selected as an All-Star that year, and the Cavaliers were 10 wins and 40 losses in the halfway game that year.

Of course, this time period is also for the All-Star substitutes to enjoy the cheers of the fans on the scene. After all, the cheers will be taken away by the 10 All-Star starters.

The All-Star starters are voted by the fans one by one!

The first player to play was the All-Star starter of the East team. Grant Hill appeared under the spotlight during the host's introduction, which immediately detonated the crazy cheers of the fans on the scene, and many fans burst into tears.

In the first half of this season, Hill played a total of 40 games, almost catching up with the sum of the first four seasons of joining the Magic.

Now Hill is no longer as strong as he was selected to the second team in the second grade and beat Pippen in the first team in the third grade. However, after 4 consecutive reimbursements, he can still average 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Overjoyed, in the All-Star starting competition, Hill's fans defeated the fans of the little emperor James.

Immediately afterwards, Iverson, McGrady, and Carter entered the court successively.

The three shooting guards are in their prime, and the fans are naturally very enthusiastic.

The last starter of the East team is about to debut, and the voice of the host is high-pitched: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the overlord of the basketball world, the best player in the world, the most dominant player in history-Shark O'Neal!"

The spotlight was on the entrance of the visiting team's player tunnel, and O'Neal twisted his little man... The big fat waist came out of the visiting team's player tunnel with a tap dance, which caused waves of cheers and laughter on the scene. Countless fans stood up and followed the twisting move posture.

This popularity really doesn't mean that it can be decided by the All-Star ticket king.

Wherever O'Neal goes, the fans will focus their attention.

And this introduction is completely different from others!

Last year at the home court of the Lakers, that's all. This year at the home court of other teams, the host still used this introduction.

Liu Xiu was envious and sour... Hey, he saw a man who was even more sour, and moved to the man's side: "Bean, are you jealous?"

Kobe jumped instantly: "How could I be jealous! Impossible! One day I will stand taller than him!"

Looking at the reminder that the healing value was +99, Liu Xiu was sure that Kobe was jealous.

O'Neal's appearance ceremony is also over, and it's the Western team's turn to start, and Nash is the first to appear.

Garnett retired, and the coach of the Western Conference is D'Antoni, avoiding suspicion?Impossible, of course, let Nash start. He may not have the opportunity to coach the All-Star substitutes of other teams in his entire life. Isn't it good for his own players and good for them?
The second player is Duncan, and the third player is Kobe!
When the host called out Kobe's name, the scene burst into exclamation!

When Duncan came out second, fans took it for granted that Kobe was the finale.

The OK combination is the finale of the East and West All-Stars, which is still very topical.

But Kobe is not the finale!

The remaining two starters in the Western Conference, Yao Ming... was ruled out directly, and they couldn't get their turn, and Nash would not let Yao Ming be the finale.

The cheers became louder.

The one who played next was indeed Yao Ming!
The atmosphere on the scene is getting more and more manic!
The fans at the scene were surprised, excited about this scene, unwilling to accept such a thing, disgusted or disgusted, and simply found it very lively... No matter what their views on this were, the fans at the scene were tearing their throats Express your emotions.

When the TV commentator saw Kobe coming out third, he had already started talking about Liu Xiu's finale appearance.

The popularity of this topic is higher than that of the OK combination!

A notorious second-year bully genius, who fought with the veteran in the locker room last year, and seized the opportunity to play the finale this year. Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality behind all this?
...

"Healing value +90, from Dwyane Wade."

"Healing value +99, from Gilbert Arenas"

"Heal value +62, from LeBron James."

"Healing value +99, from Ben Wallace."

Liu Xiu realized belatedly that the way she appeared on the All-Star stage this time was a bit domineering!

Before the game, the starters told him that he was the last to play. He was still practicing the small steps after the pick-and-roll, and he responded.

He didn't react until Yao Ming got restless on the stage.

Everyone booed...

After the entrance ceremony was over, when the players of the two teams returned to their respective benches, Liu Xiu heard someone behind the bench shouting 'Are you worthy?Do you think you deserve it? ', Liu Xiuquan pretended not to hear.

This axis, he crushed it!
Do you regret it?Would you say no again?
never!

Finale appearance!What a face.

And, look, the game hasn't even started yet, and even before entering the field and even saying a word to the opponent's players, the three new-generation stars on the opposite side have already contributed so much healing value.

The sour smell of envy and jealousy passed through the technical table to the home team's bench.

James actually gave a wave of 62 healing points, which is so rare!I have to take a small notebook and write it down.

But what about Big Ben?

Oh, yes, his Warden career debut slalomed Big Ben.

Seeing Liu Xiu's reaction, the Western All-Stars who had been waiting for a long time were very disappointed.

At first, it was difficult to decide who would play first, Duncan or Kobe.

Although Duncan doesn't talk much, but he has never been a person who is willing to make concessions on the court. He is now 28 years old and at his peak. Why should he let Kobe?
Kobe here, O'Neal was driven away by him. He thought he was the big brother of the big brothers in the West. Garnett retired.

In the end, when the 11 All-Stars in the Western Conference were discussing the matter, Kobe and Duncan came up with an idea tacitly, let Liu Xiu appear last, and the two of them don't have to fight, they are the top voters...

Liu Xiu didn't realize what this meant at first, and the Western All-Stars thought it was fun, waiting for the scene of entering the field.

Unexpectedly, after this girl reacted, she shamelessly enjoyed the boos of the fans!

Not to mention, everyone really admires this guy's character and self-confidence.

...

D'Antoni is the head coach of the West this year, and Larry Brown is the head coach of the East.

For the Western team, D'Antoni arranged a few basic tactics. Garnett retired, and the structure of the Western team's starting lineup has become reasonable, and they can play better cooperation in the starting stage.

When Liu Xiu listened to the tactical arrangement, he was surprised to find that he was ranked first in the priority order of shots in the starting stage.

D'Antoni saw Liu Xiu's surprise and explained: "Kobe, Tim, and Yao are all very threatening, and Steve is also very threatening from outside. You will definitely get a lot of opportunities, so you must grasp them well. "

Liu Xiu nodded, looking at these teammates, he felt that it made sense... No, it would be the same for any of them, and for any name!

But this is not important, he is of course happy to have more performance opportunities.

If the start data is good, the All-Star MVP will start sprinting from this year!
Although don't panic, it's good to get it early.

"The great magician:
game status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Kobe Bryant, characteristic conversion talent: stamina rush, bonus effect:…

Extra copy talent: center booster, bonus effect: when the inside teammate receives the pass from the host, there is a certain probability to enter the state of feeling hot, and there is a certain probability to find the rhythm of shooting or passing the ball more easily.

Opponent: Dwyane Wade, characteristic conversion talent: the strongest first step (full blood), bonus effect: when the host breaks through with the ball, the speed of the first step of the acceleration start +5, the fastest speed after the bonus Activated; if the host chooses to shoot at close range, bounce +5; short-range shooting ability +3. "

To compete for MVP, it is natural to copy the strongest and most suitable talents he has used, Kobe's stamina rush, Wade's full blood "the strongest first step", the most preferred to go!
The game is about to start, and the two teams started to come to the field.

Yao Ming and Duncan had a disagreement over who jumped the ball.

Yao Ming signaled Duncan to go to the jump ball, but Duncan shook his head and refused. Yao Ming insisted on making the jump ball, but Duncan still refused.

In the end, Liu Xiu said: "Whoever wins with punches, go to dance?"

Duncan's eyes lit up and he punched!

Then Duncan, who was as competitive as anyone, won the punch and walked to the middle circle.

When he got to the middle circle, he felt that something seemed wrong, but he won, so let's jump!
The overall atmosphere of the West team this year is obviously much more relaxed. There is no hostile atmosphere that the OK group can't get used to, and there is no wolf king who greets other women's relatives all over the place...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time and threw the ball into the air. O'Neal easily beat Duncan to win the jump ball, and the Eastern team went first!

The West team suddenly reacted, Duncan became a floor!
The East team attacked, and Iverson advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Kobe's defense.

Liu Xiu followed McGrady, Nash followed Carter, Duncan followed Hill, and Yao Ming and O'Neal were at close range.

There is Yao Ming + Duncan on the opposite side, but Iverson feels that his teammates are taller than the opponent as a whole. This feeling is really strange.

From McGrady to O'Neal, all four teammates have singles advantages, and the advantages are greater than him, so Iverson chose to break through in singles!
Kobe gained weight to 104 kg. He defended better against McGrady, Carter, Artest, Pierce, James, etc. than last season, and the slight decline in speed is not obvious.

But when defending against Iverson, Kobe's slight speed was too deadly!

Iverson made a beautiful change of direction and threw Kobe away. Kobe tried to keep up, but his lower body moved, and his upper body moved in another direction due to inertia. Losing his balance, he staggered a few steps and almost fell.

When Kobe stood firm, Iverson had flexibly avoided Duncan's supplementary defense, flew up and made a layup!
New regulations + speed decline, Kobe was passed by Iverson this time, which was worse than any time before!
On the first attack, Liu Xiu missed Garnett. Although he has never cooperated with Garnett, he has seen a statistic. This year, Garnett is the best inside player to limit Iverson's scoring. Interference remedial effect is excellent.

In terms of supplementary defense and assisting defense, although Duncan is also very strong, Liu Xiu also believes that Garnett is the strongest.

In the transition between offense and defense, Nash advanced to the frontcourt. He wanted to play a pick-and-roll with Duncan, but he took the initiative to change the plan and passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe attacked with the ball, and the Eastern team's defensive attention was all focused on Kobe.

Iverson played Kobe like that, the three shooting guards + Hill + O'Neal know Kobe very well, this guy will definitely come back.

Facing McGrady's defense, Kobe made a strong move and jumped to the right of the free throw line!

Kobe did not get rid of McGrady's defense, but Hill still chose to fill up from the wing, and McGrady interfered with Kobe's shooting.

In their perception, Kobe is the kind of player who prefers to shoot without getting rid of the defense.

Kobe throws the ball against McGrady and Hill's defense... not a shot!The direction the ball flies out is downward!
Liu Xiu catches the ball and makes a layup!

O'Neal, who was fighting for the rebound with Yao Ming, watched Liu Xiu throw the ball into the hoop, which was on the right side of his body, and almost hit him when it landed, but when he saw Liu Xiu reach that point, Liu Xiu Xiu had already caught the ball and jumped, it was too late.

O'Neal is sour: Kobe made a one-and-two pass, but it wasn't passed to me!
