Healing Basketball

Chapter 439 439. A player feeds a team (5500 words)
On March 3, Liu Xiu came to San Antonio with the team.

The game against the Spurs is finally here!

"Get rid of silver-white fear (advanced):

Goal: The Host needs to sweep the Spurs in the 2004-2005 regular season.

Reward: Ginobili's version of the Eurostep training method is advanced from the highest excellent level (80) to the highest top level (90).

Failure Penalty: Ginobili's Eurostep training method is removed from the simulation training section. "

He turned on the system and saw the European step evaluation of 71. Since the pick-and-roll basics reached a passing level of 60, without the bonus of "the name of genius", he devoted most of his physical strength in simulation training to Ginobili's European version. Step up, but only from the qualifying level before the All-Star break to 71.

For more than a month, it is impossible to improve to an excellent level.

The current situation is that tomorrow's game must be won, and if it is won, it is estimated that there is no need to consider the direction of Eurostep progress this year.

But if you lose, you will immediately worry about the subsequent progress of the Eurostep.

Ginobili's basic Eurostep skills are second to none in the entire NBA. I really don't know who to learn from to get a better Eurostep training method than this one.

This time, Liu Xiu really hoped that Popovich would look down on their Trail Blazers and take a rest or something.

But Popovich seems to think highly of their prison team. When Van Horn bought out and signed with their prison team, Popovich was angry in interviews.

However, people are always contradictory, and Liu Xiu really wants to play against the Spurs.

Watching the Stone Buddha fight the Silver Horn King last night already set him on fire.

Last night, Shi Fu had a little trouble with free throws and long-range shots, and he played a little impatiently. Maybe it's because his uncle has arrived. Man, there are always a few days every month...

But Duncan's 24+15+6 performance is really strong!

Liu Xiu checked on the official NBA website last night. Duncan's mid-range shooting percentage this season has improved a little compared to before the All-Star Weekend!The mid-range hit rate has reached 42%, and the long two-point hit rate has reached 42.9%!

Although it's only a few tenths of a percent increase, it's an improvement based on dozens of games played!

It is precisely because of the steady improvement of outside shooting that Duncan was so restless last night, and he was able to contain the defense in a wide range, sending out 6 assists in a single game.

When watching the game last night, Liu Xiu sighed to Raheem and McDyess next to him: "After Duncan developed the technology, he can immediately integrate it into his own style of play. This is simply amazing. In this era It’s really a blessing to play, to have the opportunity to be against such a player.”

The two teammates didn't say anything at the time, but Liu Xiu's healing value increased by several hundred.

...

The Trail Blazers went to San Antonio, and the Spurs followed.

But the Trail Blazers players went to the hotel to rest for a while, had lunch, and went to the ATT Center for training in the afternoon, while the Spurs just played the game yesterday and needed to rest.

While the Trail Blazers were practicing, Popovich and general manager RC Buford were reviewing Duncan's latest physical in the office of the Spurs president and head coach at the ATT Center.

At 10:30 in the morning, after the Spurs returned to San Antonio, everyone else went home, and Duncan went to the hospital for a checkup.

Buford exclaimed: "Greg, this is a miracle! Tim's plantar fasciitis is almost healed! When did our team doctor become so bad?"

"The team doctors did a really good job this time. I think the boss will agree to give the team doctor a season bonus this time." Popovich's trust in the team doctor has also been greatly improved.

In 1996, the accident caused by the team medical team of the Spurs caused their team medical team to be questioned, that is, David Robinson was injured in the 1996 playoffs, but the team doctor actually misdiagnosed it, causing David Robinson to spend a summer. Without proper treatment, he was reimbursed at the beginning of the 1996-1997 season.

You must know that David Robinson had just played double first for two consecutive years at that time. He was 31 years old when he was playing. He only watched the regular season. He was the absolute No. 20 center and the No. 3 center in the future. , Admiral averaged 25+ per game for three consecutive years.

Later, it was a blessing in disguise to win Duncan, and the matter was finally covered.

Later, in 2000, in March, Duncan was diagnosed with a knee muscle strain, but it was actually a knee soft tissue contusion and a meniscus injury. Later, the meniscus was torn, he was reimbursed for the playoffs, and his running and jumping ability was impaired. The flying style of "Little Admiral" has become the violent style of fighting in the early new century.

That is to say, the Spurs team medical team usually does a good job in diagnosing and treating injuries. The level of treatment for minor injuries and ailments ranks at the forefront of the league, and the rehabilitation is very professional, so they were not fired... But the owner of the Spurs Therefore, no bonus has been given to the team doctor department for 8 consecutive years.

Buford nodded. He also felt that the team doctors should get a bonus this time.

Duncan's injury this time was really not a misdiagnosis, but a fatigue injury. This time, the Spurs' team medical team appeared very professional, and formulated a strict, complicated and tortured treatment plan, and the treatment effect was very good.

It’s just that, Buford thinks, changing someone may not be able to complete the treatment plan formulated by the team doctors, that is, the executor is Duncan, and no matter how tortured the training is, as long as it is beneficial and can be done, it will be boring. Get it done.

In addition to Duncan's strict implementation of the plan formulated by the team doctor, Popovich's coaching philosophy has finally changed.

The previous Popovich was following Larry Brown's example - he used the stars in his hands to death, and when they were strong, they rushed for honor. Stars are consumables, and they don't work hard when they are strong. Toss, when you are old and injured, you can't even toss if you want to.

However, after winning the championship in 2003, Popovich's coaching philosophy began to change. He began to consider that the players only had Duncan's physical condition, and minor injuries were treated in time. There will be two situations, one is that Duncan took advantage of the peak state of his career to rush for a wave of three consecutive MVPs, and the other is that Duncan was reimbursed early due to injury...Because of the change of coaching philosophy, last season In the middle and late stages, the Spurs discovered Duncan's foot injury and treated it in time after the injury broke out later.

The team doctor, Popovich, Duncan...Duncan's ability to successfully pass the most difficult stage this year and complete the excessive play at the same time is due to many reasons, not just someone alone.

So, Buford just said that the team medical team is good this time, but he was actually joking, but Popovich seems to really think that the team medical department is good... Buford doesn't intend to tear things down, and indeed their team medical team can't say that. Poor, under normal circumstances, there will be no medical malpractice.

Regarding the topic of team doctors, Buford didn't want to talk too much. In fact, he felt that maybe Popovich didn't really think that the team doctors got better just like that, but had no choice but to choose to trust.

The team medical team made two big mistakes and has not been disbanded. The main reason, Buford knows-no money.

It's not particularly bad, just use it first.

It's just that this kind of active trust, over time, may become real trust, even a little blind.

Don't worry about Duncan, but tomorrow's game will make both Popovich and Buford very distressed.

Popovich said in pain: "To be able to defend against a team coached by Van Gundy with a big center like Yao, Nowitzki is in such a good state, they actually closed the point difference at the end of the third quarter. After catching up to 3 points, they almost came back in the final quarter."

Buford looked serious: "Their defensive limits are not as good as the Pacers, Pistons, and Nets, and their offensive limits are not as good as the Mavericks, Sonics, and Suns, but their lineup depth That's great, they're probably making more money off the bench than our entire team..."

Speaking of this, both of them were silent, and this topic was rather embarrassing.

It is normal for the Trail Blazers to have a salary of over 21 million. They replaced Malik Rose with Muhammad. After the strength increased, the total salary was reduced by 525 thousand dollars. $546, and Malik Rose $[-] million.

At present, the salary of the Spurs has dropped to 4691 million US dollars, which almost fell below the salary cap.

Ignoring this topic, Popovich said: "The point is that their head coach is very bold. They played against the Mavericks that day. I didn't expect him to make such a lineup change after playing 2 minutes."

Buford also went to watch the game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks on the spot that day. He nodded: "The change in their game style really surprised me. In 2001, I thought the Trail Blazers were going to collapse. At that time, I thought about snatching Wallace from the Trail Blazers to succeed the Admiral. I didn't expect Cheeks, a rookie coach, to stabilize the Trail Blazers. God, tell everyone to listen to him, or sit on the bench, Pippen troubled him, and he really let Pippen play as a substitute in the opening game. When I heard the news, I thought the NBA was going to play No. [-] Two lunatics, haha...

However, I think it was not Cheeks who really changed the Trail Blazers. Although he controlled the Trail Blazers, the rich man could not interfere with his coaching, but the rich man had long wanted to tear down the lineup and rebuild it. It was the warden who transformed the Trail Blazers, this young man is really amazing..."

"Yeah, the warden is great."

"Ok?"

Buford was at a loss, why did Popovich's tone suddenly turn sour while chatting?
Popovich said: "RC, in the 2003 draft, can we use Tony to trade for the [-]th pick in the first round?"

"..."

Buford rolled his eyes, still bringing it up!
This partner really despises the little French sports car!

Popovich complained, but the idea was very simple.

The main thing is to compare!

In 1999, Ginobili was selected with the 28th pick in the second round, which is the second-to-last pick. In this draft, Buford can be a god. Popovich’s love for Ginobili can’t be increased, and Kobe can’t use it. , Ginobili will do.

But the little sports car has a chance to become the warden...

……

At the visiting team training ground of the ATT Center, the Trail Blazers' three training sessions in the afternoon went very smoothly.

Today's training volume is not large, 3 training sessions, basic tactical movement, targeted offensive tactical drills, targeted defensive tactical drills, counting the rest time, the 3 training sessions add up to two hours, and arrive at the ATT Center at 1:4 , Start training at [-]:[-] and end at [-]:[-].

So after the training, many players stayed for additional training.

Liu Xiu is one of them. At first, he wanted to go back to the hotel to watch the video to save energy. Tonight, he would hurry up and do the Ginobili version of the Eurostep simulation training for one night, but the butcher asked him to learn the application skills of back hitting , Liu Xiu immediately changed his decision to stay and practice.

Part of Liu Xiu's hope of continuing to improve his back-up is placed on Butcher. After all, this is the only one in the team that he can "feed back".

All his teammates are his learning objects, and he is willing to lower his attitude and ask for advice, as long as there is something to learn, but so far only the butcher has triggered the 'feedback'.

The conditions for triggering "feedback" are very strict. After learning a technology, you have to complete the follow-up development and expansion of the technology earlier than the learning target, and finally teach the other party in turn. This requirement is too difficult, and if you are a veteran, basically Impossible to trigger 'feedback'.

Like Derek Anderson, when Liu Xiu was more comprehensive than Derek Anderson, the opponent may have retired; Payton's back-up application skills, Liu Xiu has only learned the training method now, and the very important high-post back-up is all Haven't started studying yet...

After entering the NBA for more than a year, only Butcher is a teammate who can "feed back". The last time he completed "feedback", Liu Xiu's low-post talent has increased from an upper limit of 87 to an upper limit of 94, and his low-post ability has now reached 89. Big bottleneck.

Liu Xiu is still hovering outside the gate of the top back-up. Of course he is not in a hurry. After all, it is not the only powerful scoring method back then. He just said that there is a chance to improve. Of course, he must seize it. Teach the butcher how to use back-up and try to see if he can. Triggering 'feedback' is one of the opportunities.

However, Liu Xiu is very aware of Butcher's character, and this strongest teammate must take the initiative to learn it, and now the opportunity has finally come!
...

He pulled down his face again and came to the warden to learn skills... Eh?Why do you say again?
Back then, he was the one who walked ahead!He personally taught the warden to beat back!
The butcher thinks it's not important anymore, anyway, it's not the first time he's asked the warden to learn skills, so it doesn't matter, after leading the warden again, all the 'humiliation' will be worth it!
Now that you have lost your face, you naturally have to study hard.

Butcher's basic skills of back hitting are really solid, with good basic skills and good talent. After Liu Xiu taught for more than an hour in the afternoon, Butcher has already learned some details.

Peyton and Raheem, who were onlookers, shut themselves up on the spot when they saw the Butcher's progress.

This talent is amazing!
Liu Xiu also felt that Butcher's back-up training efficiency may be higher than his simulation training efficiency... There is no way, he is the top back-up talent, with the top physical talent and learning talent.

Moreover, Liu Xiu wished that the butcher's back attacking talent would be better, that he would learn faster and fully develop the back attack earlier, so that he would have more opportunities to learn...

After the butcher learned a few basic movements of back-to-back combat in sports warfare, and learned a few details about exerting force, Liu Xiu's system prompt came!
"Feedback:
Subject: Zach Randolph.

Goal: Help Zach Randolph perfect his post-up technique.

The perfect direction has been implemented: switch back posture in sports warfare.

Expansion direction to be implemented: ...

Reward: 30000 healing value. "

...

Feedback is triggered, but the final reward... is not bad, [-] healing points, if you are lucky, you can get some props or even attribute points.

But his top back hit still has no way forward!

Liu Xiu chose Ah Q: My upper limit of back hitting talent was originally 87, and it is already good to reach 89. If I can continue to improve, I can raise it. It can be developed with a high back hit, isn't it...

After the training, Liu Xiu, Butcher, Outlaw Fanatic, Kwame Brown, Delfino, Varejao and other young teammates ate barbecue together at the ATT Arena.

Although it is a barbecue restaurant in the home stadium of the Spurs, it is surprisingly delicious!

The butcher said proudly: "How about it, Warden, the taste of the barbecue is not worse than yours!"

Liu Xiu gave a thumbs up: "It really depends on you, the butcher, to find barbecue!"

The butcher raised his neck: "Of course, I'm in the NBA... No, I'm the No. 1 barbeque eater among all athletes in the United States!"

Men, who hasn't ordered their hobbies yet?And men are full of respect for those very special proud points of men.

For example, the outlaw lunatic, his dream is to eat all the food that others dare not try, Liu Xiu admires it very much, and even thought about waiting for the technology to be more advanced, spending money to make a show, let the outlaw lunatic be the protagonist , maybe even hotter than Bell.

Butcher can find top-notch barbecue in an NBA arena, and Liu Xiu is convinced.

Although he had been to this arena a few times before, he had never really visited the arena. Because of eating barbecue this time, Liu Xiu learned from the arena tour guide how wonderful the Spurs are.

This team really tried their best to generate income!

The earliest Spurs did not have their own arena. Since they moved to San Antonio in 1976, they have not had their own arena. They have been living a "boarding" life. The last "boarding" was the 1993-1994 season. In 2002, the ATT Arena was invested. before use.

The main reason is because the Spurs have been in San Antonio for more than 20 years, no matter how good or bad the record is, they have not made money.

Before 1999, the San Antonio City Hall rejected more than a dozen applications from the Spurs to raise funds to build a dedicated arena. Until 1999, Duncan led the team to win the championship, injecting vitality into the city's tourism industry, hotel industry and other aspects. San Antonio The city hall just gritted its teeth and squeezed out 1.8 million dollars, plus the 20-year sponsorship fee of SBC Communications Group, which was originally called SBC Communications Group, 4000 million dollars in sponsorship fees, plus the Spurs owner’s 2850 million dollars. This arena.

After the arena was repaired, the Spurs began to try their best to make money. The catering industry was the main event. There were 32 restaurants in this arena, and there were more than 200 chefs at the most. During the game, ordering and delivery services were provided. It took more than two hours. During the game time, it can supply the catering needs of tens of thousands of people at most.

Liu Xiu extracted a piece of information from the tour guide's introduction - if there was no Duncan, the Spurs might be the first team to be sold in the new century, not the Grizzlies.

Without Duncan, there is no championship if you want a championship, no popularity if you want popularity, no arena if you want an arena...

……

……

On the second day, March 3, when the Trail Blazers players came to the ATT Center for pre-match preparations again, they found that there were extraordinarily many reporters today!
The reason, everyone knows, yesterday, the NCAA March Madness kicked off, Stern wanted to fight the NCAA, their Texas trip for the Trail Blazers was just for this arrangement at this time, and they also specially found a lot of media, Build momentum and publicity.

The Trail Blazers players did not reject this, but were very excited.

Multiple TV stations will broadcast live their game against the Spurs!
Accepting interviews is a relatively busy thing today. Liu Xiu is extremely busy. He will soon fight Yao Ming again. The imperial court is now preparing for the next Chinese Derby...

Fortunately, Liu Xiu has the habit of stopping interviews and refusing all interference from the outside world 4 hours before the start of the game. The major media have clearly understood that these things will not affect his preparation rhythm.

...

The day's preparation time passed quickly, and at 7:40 in the evening, the pre-match admission ceremony began.

Amid the boos of the fans, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the field from the away team's tunnel.

Then came the home team players!The traditional way of playing, Duncan played last.

Liu Xiu is very excited now, and finally he can play against Duncan again. It is a pity that Duncan takes a rest before the All-Star weekend.

As Liu Xiu expected, after the entrance ceremony, the mission reminder came.

'Giant Slayer''s first task target - Tim Duncan, the most powerful striker in history!
