Healing Basketball

Chapter 44 44. First, bring O'Neill down (7000 words for tickets)

Liu Xiu spent a day at the home of Derek Anderson and Dale Davis.

The direction of learning with Derek Anderson is to learn the basic skills, basic skills and other training methods of being a high-quality role player at the open level.

Limited by Derek Anderson's strength, Liu Xiu's feedback from the system and the training methods he learned from Derek Anderson were unable to reach an excellent level, and 79 was the limit.

But this is enough for him at the moment.

Otherwise, Derek Anderson's 'all-round talent' cannot be learned with a mere 3000 healing value.

For example, Randolph spent 1500 healing points for his outstanding back-up attacks at the time.

Today, Liu Xiu started a quick learning on the defensive end with Dale Davis. He spent 1000 healing points. In fact, he only started a part of the "meat grinder"-the supplementary defense for players who break through or cut in. In the morning, he still thought that Delhi Ke Anderson is too expensive, and now I know that the buyout price is really cheap.

Flanking, changing defenses, shrinking and expanding... etc. haven't started to learn.

Nothing happened on the night of the 8th. At 7 o'clock the next morning, Liu Xiu woke up on time, and the system prompted.

"I have completed 30 minutes of elbow defense and foot movement simulation training, and I have completed 46 minutes of shooting simulation training after dribbling. It can consume 104 healing points to extract. Do you want to extract?"

Liu Xiu said no in her heart.

"The simulation training results have been stored and can be retrieved at any time.

Note: There is no upper limit to the storage of simulation training results, and the extraction needs to be extracted once. "

After the system was upgraded and all functions were opened, Liu Xiu discovered that there is a new function for storing simulation training results in the simulation training.

He tried it once before, accumulating the simulated training results for a week... the taste was so sour, he never wanted to try it again.

just now……

'Yesterday, I got more than 500 healing points from Anderson and Davis, and the coach also increased more than 100 healing points. It's strange. These two coaches usually give thirty or fifty healing points a day. more? '

'Save these healing points first, save enough healing points, and learn all the training methods of Davis's meat grinder defense! '

……

At 7:58 in the morning, Liu Xiu arrived at the parking lot of the Rose Garden Stadium, put 5 tips of $1, and put the keys in the car. The speed rushed into the staff passage... At 7:59:55, Liu Xiu entered the training ground.

With the 5-second countdown, Derek Anderson stared dumbfoundedly at Liu Xiu, who rushed in with his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

'This rookie...it's really interesting...you have time to get dressed at home and drive out, don't you know how many minutes earlier you go out? '

Derek Anderson firmly believes that Liu Xiu is stepping on time to go out.

but……

Even if Liu Xiu is not punctual, Derek Anderson will not say anything.

Today the team arranged two training sessions, one at 10:2 am and one at 40:[-] pm, both [-] minutes.

Most of the teammates will arrive around 9:10, and the training session is said to start at 10:[-], but it usually doesn’t start until [-]:[-]. This is the normal state during the season after the training camp. Those who have experienced it a few times will understand.

So Derek Anderson said that 1 hour of teaching guidance per day should be placed at this time.

Because it is a teaching guide, the amount of training will not be very large, so it can be taught whether there is a competition or not, as long as it is not particularly tired and can get up.

In Derek Anderson's view, it doesn't matter if the time is a few minutes earlier or later... Mainly, he doesn't care if it is a few minutes later, as long as it is not too far behind.

But punctuality, Nadrick Anderson is naturally very happy.

Seeing Liu Xiu's panting gradually eased, Derek Anderson asked, "Take a break?"

"No, I can start learning after I move my body."

"no problem."

After a while, at 8:15, Derek Anderson's teaching and guidance began.

Today, it is still the training of basic skills - turning around.

When Liu Xiu was learning back-ups with Randolph, he learned turning skills, but big players and small guards are always different, so when learning with Derek Anderson, Liu Xiu gave priority to learning to shoot after dribbling. The second is to turn around.

Liu Xiu's self-position cognition-sort out the offense, and be a characteristic player to complete singles at a specific moment.

The former is his talent, while the latter requires continuous improvement of the strongest offensive means.

While Liu Xiu was studying with Derek Anderson, Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar were secretly watching.

Yesterday when I heard that Liu Xiu went to study with Derek Anderson, the two immediately understood Liu Xiu's thoughts and were very happy, but then they thought of Liu Xiu's previous "efforts" and complained for a while together, and Don't expect too much.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu came to practice early this morning!

Is there hope?

Facts have proved that some things are right not to expect too much.

At 11:20 in the morning, after the Trail Blazers' team tactical training ended, many players stayed for extra training.

However, Liu Xiu, who seemed to be working hard, didn't...

Kevin Preet checked Liu Xiu who left after the team's training, and said to Maurice Cheeks: "He must be saving his energy for tomorrow's preseason game!"

Maurice Cheeks didn't talk, he thinks it's more important to watch the performance in the game.

On the afternoon of the 9th, while the Trail Blazers were having an afternoon training session, the Los Angeles Lakers came to Portland.

When Liu Xiu heard the news, she was excited for a while before she calmed down and completed the team's tactical running training. After the team's training, she went to Dale Davis' home to learn the "meat grinder" defense Contraction and expansion exercises.

This one is cheaper, quick to learn, 500 healing value...

……

……

On October 2003, 10, the Trail Blazers will have their first game of the new season at home... a preseason game.

Although it was only a preseason game, the attention of this game was astonishingly high!
Throughout the day, the Rose Garden Arena was extremely lively.

But these excitement have nothing to do with the Trail Blazers.

These excitement belong to the opponents of the Blazers - the Los Angeles Lakers!
Yesterday, when the Lakers came to Portland, the media and fans were already crazy.

A large number of fans gathered in Portland from all over the United States. For a preseason ticket with an average price of 25 dollars, the front row ticket was fired to more than 3000 dollars. Tickets also cost hundreds of dollars to buy from ticket dealers.

Spend so much money to watch a preseason game, just to watch the debut of the super foursome of O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, and Payton!

……

After the morning pre-match meeting, pre-match preparation training, interviews and other links, the Trail Blazers players got a few hours of rest time, and gathered at 5 o'clock in the evening to start training at the latest.

The Trail Blazers prepared nutritious meals for the players, but few of them ate them... Anyway, Liu Xiu and Randolph didn't eat them.

Travis Outlaw was a good boy, and he would come as the team arranged, but he dared not leave when the two big brothers who guarded him called him.

Matt Carroll and Ruben Bunterje have been with the trio.

"Hey," Randolph complained while waiting for food at a restaurant near the arena, "everyone asks Bryant, Bryant, Bryant, but can't you ask O'Neal?"

"Bryant has just turned 25 years old and should be entering his peak period. O'Neal is already in his 30s. O'Neal's popularity has long been surpassed, and his strength is almost beyond comparison... Ouch, Zach, don't kick your ass..." Special Lavis Outlaw answered the question honestly and was kicked by Randolph.

Travis - Outlaw quickly changed positions, farther away from Randolph.

Of the two bosses, one loves to move his mouth and the other loves to use his hands. It's too difficult to be their little brother!

Randolph glared at Travis Outlaw and asked Liu Xiu, "Jess, what do you think?"

What do you think?Liu Xiu thought that Randolph couldn't get used to Kobe, but he didn't expect that it was because he wasn't asked about O'Neal.

Looking at Randolph's expectant eyes, Liu Xiu responded, "Because we are the Portland Trail Blazers."

"..."

Randolph choked.

He expects people to ask him if he is a fan of O'Neal, and then the "unexpected" answer is no, Travis Outlaw is still young, and his emotional intelligence is not high, Randolph can understand, this guy Liu Xiu pretends not to understand !
Good fan Matt Carroll asked at this time: "Why are they asking us about Bryant because we are the Trail Blazers?"

Travis Outlaw and Ruben Bunterjie were very interested in this matter, staring at Liu Xiu, and Randolph also stared at Liu Xiu after choking.

"We're the prison team! Bryant almost went to jail in Eagle County, and the reporters thought we knew him well."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The four friends were collectively speechless.

Kobe Bryant is not as popular now as he was when he went it alone in time and space, but he is definitely a popular Mesozoic superstar. He is famous for... Be careful!
If Kobe heard this... Huh?So what?
The four friends suddenly felt that it was nothing if they were heard!Getting blown up on the court...it doesn't matter!

Fighting...emmm...

Just when the four friends didn't know what to say, Liu Xiu looked at Travis Outlaw, making the high school students very uncomfortable.

"Jess, is there something on my face?"

"No, no, I just think you're dragging us down."

"What's wrong?" Travis Outlaw was confused?
"Because of your name! I think we are called the prison team, largely because of your name."

"I'm still a rookie! I just turned 19! I haven't even played a preseason game, it's none of my business!"

Looking at the high school students standing up and roaring, Liu Xiu felt young and energetic...

……

……

Looking at the present from the perspective of ten or twenty years later, at first, Liu Xiu didn't think that the Big Four of the Lakers were so special. After all, they were a failed combination.

When evaluating combinations in history, the influence at that time is often judged by the combination of success and failure.

There are many failed giant combinations in NBA history, and this combination will always be used to step down in the future.

Although the captain of the Lakers occupied the hot news for a long time before, O'Neal and Payton could become hot news when they went for a drink, but Liu Xiu didn't pay special attention to it, but focused on her own affairs.

Other people's affairs are other people's affairs after all, and your own affairs are the most important.

but!

Now that they are actually playing against each other, Liu Xiucai can clearly feel how powerful the influence of the four superstars of the Lakers team is!
Although he is in the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu usually accepts a lot of interviews.

But when the Lakers came, he really understood what a super popular team and a super popular superstar are.

Usually, his teammates would interview him. Today, many media who could not get interview opportunities from the Lakers came here to interview him.

This feels very special...Yesterday, Liu Xiu could hear some envious and jealous remarks in the team. He didn't say similar remarks, but in fact, he was also sour.

At 7:40 p.m., at the Rose Garden Arena, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers is about to start, and players from the two teams enter the court.

The preseason game will be broadcast live across the United States tonight!
Time Warner Cable Sports, CNN Sports Channel, TNT Sports, the top three sports TV stations, all broadcast the game live!
Entering the court, Liu Xiu felt the murderous eyes on the opposite side, which came from-Kobe Bryant!

'Bryant almost went to jail in Eagle County', what Liu Xiu said during lunch was exposed by the restaurant waiter!

Liu Xiu was a little annoyed when the person involved found out about talking bad things about someone behind her back...

However, Kobe responded after learning of Liu Xiu's remarks in an interview-"Jess Liu? Who? Actor, right? I know his mentality of a player with no strength. He wants to rely on me to get more exposure and sleep in the same bed with more Hollywood female stars..."

The yin and yang are strange, and the words are harsh, which is in line with Liu Xiu's impression of Kobe at this stage.

Things are already like this, and Liu Xiu also recognizes it. Anyway, he is not afraid of playing basketball or fighting. Winning or losing in the former is certain, and winning or losing in the latter is certain.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played the first game of the preseason game against the Lakers at home.

Lakers starters: Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, O'Neal.

Trail Blazers starters: Damon Stoudemire, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.

In the team's first game of the new season, Liu Xiu was not the protagonist, but sat on the sidelines and watched others play.

The sense of gap that Randolph worried about Liu Xiu at the beginning has come now!

Compared with Randolph at that time, Liu Xiu was more fully prepared psychologically, but said that this psychological gap was inevitable.

However, as the game started, Liu Xiu's negative emotions gradually disappeared as he felt the manic atmosphere on the field, and he wanted to play!
Although the Trail Blazers have gradually declined in the past few years, the team's strength is declining day by day, and the support of fans is getting lower and lower...but the opponent is the Lakers, so it is different, and the fans are very manic!

Especially for the Lakers team, since the 99-00 season to the 01-02 season after completing three consecutive championships, no matter where they go to play away games, there will always be a bunch of fans who will grab away game tickets and cheer for them on the road...even causing The post-match brawl of the fans at the North Shore Garden Arena stimulated the fans of the Trail Blazers. As much as the Lakers fans cheered for the Lakers players, the fans on the scene would boo the Lakers players more violently.

Even the enthusiasm for their own team, the Trail Blazers fans picked up tonight, the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, brought great encouragement to the players!

This made Liu Xiu, who was about to set foot on the real NBA stage for the first time, feel excited. The fighting spirit on his face even infected his teammates sitting next to him!

The Trail Blazers team is very interesting. It cannot be said that there is a disagreement within the team. The relationship within the team can be described as chaotic, but!Everyone works hard on the field.

Moreover, no matter what kind of conflicts there are outside the court, even if they all reach the point where a fight is required, on the court, they will never deny the opponent's strength.

Here, we have to praise Maurice Cheeks' unique coaching style...

Liu Xiu is not that kind of pleasing image in the team, but he has never done anything bad in the true sense. Liu Xiu's passionate fighting spirit made some teammates understand that this rookie is not as lazy as he looks, at least on the court. In fact, this rookie should be quite motivated.

The Trail Blazers can be arranged by the league as the opponents of the Big Four of the Lakers in their first show, because the stars of the Trail Blazers are worthy of the Lakers!

The strongest opponent the OK team faced in winning the championship for the first time was the Trail Blazers back then.

For another team, it is really possible to be directly stunned by the four superstars of the Lakers.

In the case of the Big Four of the Lakers have not played a game, it is indeed very possible.

科比，02-03赛季全勤，场均30分6.9板5.9助攻2.2抢断0.8盖帽，双一阵。

奥尼尔，02-03赛季出战67场，场均27.5分11.1板3.1助攻0.6抢断2.4盖帽，一阵二防。

佩顿，02-03赛季出战80场，场均20.4分4.2板8.3助攻1.4抢断，全明星。

马龙，02-03赛季出战81场，场均20.4分7.8板4.7助攻1.7抢断。

The combined scoring average of the four of them last season ranked sixth in the league!

Zen Master coached a weak lineup and would only use the stars to death.

But coaching a superstar lineup is really amazing.

Before the start of the season, although the F4 of the Lakers was blown to the sky, there is a saying that has always been popular-the Lakers may have a bad run-in situation.

Because neither Payton nor Kobe are masters of the pick-and-roll.

In the first game of the preseason, this problem does not seem to be a problem...

In later generations, some people criticized this lineup for having a lot of infighting, some criticized Kobe for disrespecting veterans, some criticized Malone for molesting his teammate's wife, and some criticized Payton for refusing to let go of his body because of his personal grievances with Kobe... But no one really said that their lineup was good at tactics. Not good, bad running-in.

However, even if the Lakers lineup looks horrible, there is not much running-in problem. The first preseason Lakers stars played very well... But the Trail Blazers did not give in, and they played well with the Lakers Yes!

Randolph was not afraid of O'Neal's iron elbow, and actively rushed.

Rasheed Wallace, who is usually not active in defense, performed eye-catching in tonight's low-post defense. Davis completed the strangling of O'Neal's singles.

It's just that the strength of the Lakers is really strong. After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers were 19 to 23, 4 points behind the Lakers.

The Trail Blazers clenched the situation, relying not on offense, but on defense, hand-to-hand combat, and confrontation... It has been like this from the beginning, so Travis Outlaw, who is a rookie like Liu Xiu but got the chance to start , and was replaced after only a few minutes of playing.

At the start of the second quarter, Liu Xiu was still not replaced.

There was a trace of depression, but Liu Xiu sat on the bench obediently, watching his teammates on the field struggle against the Lakers.

Liu Xiu focused on the game itself, so that he could better avoid the blow to his fighting spirit caused by his inability to play.

Obviously, after the start of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' disadvantage became even greater.

The Lakers felt quite sloppy at the beginning. After playing for a few minutes, they felt the Blazers' rough confrontation and aggressive style of play before they started to play seriously.

In the second quarter, the body movements of the Lakers also increased.

If Morris Cheeks hadn't adjusted in time and replaced Randolph and Damon Stoudemire during the timeout of 3 minutes and 14 seconds in the second quarter, the little flying squirrel shot, Randolph rushed, and After a wave of 8 to 4, the point difference was stretched to double digits.

In the official timeout of the second quarter, the score was 31 to 38, with a difference of 7 points.

Entering the official timeout again, Liu Xiu is ready to sit on the bench for the first game of the preseason.

In the first quarter and a half of the game, the players on the field, except for Travis Outlaw, were all veteran players of the Trail Blazers last season.

The inside rotation is directly based on the trio of Randolph, Rasheed Wallace, and Dell Davis.

Contrary to expectations, the Trail Blazers need to win this game!Even if you don't win, you have to show your energy and get off to a good start for the new season.

Liu Xiu didn't know why it was like this. Perhaps, in the original time and space, the Blazers' opponent in the season opener wasn't the Lakers?

Anyway, this is the situation now, Liu Xiu chose to accept it.

It's just... just entering the official timeout, Liu Xiu was called by Maurice Cheeks.

"Healing value +33, from Jeff McGinnis."

"Healing value +47, from Damon Stoudemire."

"Healing value +11, from Derek Anderson."

Before she could be astonished, Liu Xiu heard Maurice Cheeks' question: "Jess, the teammates play very differently than usual, right?"

When Liu Xiu heard this, he thought of Randolph, Rasheed Wallace, and Dale Davis who were no different from beasts when they faced Malone and O'Neal on the court. They didn't feel anything when watching the game. But now that I think about it, it's really fierce!

Before Liu Xiu could answer, Maurice Cheeks continued to ask: "In the past 10 minutes, have you understood how your teammates play?"

Liu Xiu nodded.

Maurice Cheeks also nodded, did not continue to ask, made personnel adjustments, tactical arrangements, Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Persson, Randolph, Dale Davis The lineup is replaced!
……

Liu Xiu tried her best to calm down and stepped onto the court.

What a surprise!He is ready to sit on the bench for this game!

But the moment he stepped onto the court, his mood quickly calmed down, and the fighting spirit for the upcoming game was unconsciously displayed on his face.

There were bursts of boos from the scene, and they were boos from Trail Blazers fans, Liu Xiu didn't care.

I knew it would be like this, and Bunch Wells traded him, and the Trail Blazers fans were very dissatisfied.

After calming down, Liu Xiu immediately thought of the reason why Damon Stoudemire, who seemed to be playing well just now, was replaced - 4 of 1 shots!
Damon Stoudemire had a chance to split the wing with Randolph blowing up the offensive rebound this time, but he chose to do it himself.

Just now, the Lakers made a mistake and went out of bounds during the offense. After a timeout, the Trail Blazers attacked. When Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced, he had already drawn the offensive line map of the next attack in his mind.

On the other side, the players on the Lakers field are Fisher, Kobe, Devin George, Horace Grant, O'Neal.

Fisher was quite surprised to see that the opponent replaced a rookie point guard at this time. On their side of the Lakers, Zen Master wanted to establish an advantage in the first half, so he replaced the more familiar lineup for critical moments. Well, the Trail Blazers were obviously the team that started the "battle" earlier, but they actually sent a rookie point guard at this time.

but……

This means that the opportunity for him to abuse food has come!Rare!

When Liu Xiu advanced beyond the three-point line, Fisher pressed up immediately, oppressively stealing... Liu Xiu saw that Fisher was pressing up so restlessly, she didn't dodge, and dribbled the ball away from Fisher's hand , take the initiative to press up, take the first step to occupy the half body advantage, smash Fisher and break into the three-point line!

Liu Xiu didn't expect Fisher to defend like this, but when the opportunity came, he naturally wanted to fight...Kobe also came!

Liu Xiu didn't think too much about it, and when he saw Kobe making up for it, he reacted immediately and scored the ball!
Wesley Persson catches the ball and makes a [-]-point shot... a good chance, but it doesn't go in, the ball bounces high!
When Wesley Person received the ball and made a shot, O'Neal, Dale Davis and Randolph under the basket had already fought hand-to-hand.

O'Neal was already irritable when he was robbed by Randolph tonight. This time, it was Randolph who grabbed the offensive rebound!
O'Neill couldn't hold back this time and pushed people!Randolph had just grabbed an offensive rebound when he was pushed and staggered.

Dale Davis exploded on the spot and pushed on O'Neill. Although O'Neill was wronged but still strong, he pushed and shoved with Dale Davis. Randolph turned around and wanted to fight back... stopped...

The conflict happened very suddenly. It is possible to guess that this kind of thing will happen, but it is absolutely impossible to guess when it will come.

The fierce confrontation, crazy hand-to-hand combat, and frequent fouls in the front have long made the players of the two teams angry. O'Neal was entangled with Dale Davis, and suddenly he was hugged at the waist... and then...

'bang'

O'Neill was put to the ground!
When he fell down, O'Neill only saw a face that was more handsome than the actor Fox of their team...

……

……

I have been sick for the past few days, and I have taken medicine for a few days and it is still not good. I will go to the hospital for a detailed examination tomorrow. I wrote a 7000-word chapter today.

This year's new book is really ill-fated... It doesn't matter, good things take time~
