Healing Basketball

Chapter 456 456. No one wants to play in Salt Lake City

You can score 7 to 9 points in each quarter; score more than ten points in regular time, and often score more than ten points in a single quarter.

If the players with two performances averaged 30 to 32 points per game, Liu Xiu would feel that the former is stronger.

Perhaps the latter will play some magical performances that the former cannot, but the former is more likely to help the team win the game...

If asked what type of player he wanted to be, he'd make the man's choice...all of them!

Who is not a young man with a heart higher than the sky?

The team's performance also made Liu Xiu very excited-the Mavericks' unlimited singles are really effective against the Suns!
Maurice Cheeks thought that Liu Xiu thought of the strategy to deal with the Suns after watching the Spurs' high-scoring victory over the Suns. In fact, Liu Xiu thought of the infinite singles in the 2006 Western Conference Finals when the Mavericks defeated the Suns 4-2. tactics.

In fact, in the first round of that year, Zen master used Avery Johnson's infinite singles tactics to deal with the Suns. The Lakers once led the Suns 3-1 and almost finished the game.

But Kobe was miserable that year. He played 7 games against the Suns, averaging 27.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists, shooting 49.7% from the field, and averaging two three-pointers per game with a 40% shooting rate. Thinking about the next round.

But such an idea really shouldn't be there. In the end, Kobe ended up standing shoulder to shoulder with McGrady...

In the first round, the Lakers ranked the third best player after Kobe and Odom, and it was Kwame Brown!

In the first round, Kobe Bryant wanted to strangle Parker to death. In the 7 games in the first round, Smush Parker averaged 33 points and 8.9 assists with a shooting rate of 1.6%. In G6, Parker played in regular time. In the first 40 minutes, if he scored 5 of 1 shots, he won the game. As a result, he took 5 all-iron shots and was dragged into overtime by the Suns. In the end, Kobe couldn't move. 3 was chased to 1 to 3, and finally lost the tie-break.

Reaper Parker averages 37 minutes per game, and every minute he plays is a one-minute delay, but he must be used because he is already the best point guard of the Lakers.

Although the Lakers were reversed in the end, Avery Johnson's infinite singles tactic is a good way to deal with the Suns.

It's just that this tactic has extremely high requirements for the lineup. Coincidentally, their Trail Blazers have nothing else but a deep enough lineup!
For the first time, this tactic really works!
This made Liu Xiu feel a little wild - if he really made it to the Western Conference finals, he would meet the Suns...

When she was about to float away, Liu Xiu quickly turned on the simulation training mode, fell asleep, and entered the mode of clear thinking and calm mind.

Looking back at last night's game at this time, Liu Xiu felt that they still had a lot to improve.

There are many coincidences in being able to steadily suppress the Suns for a whole game. Although it is a manifestation of their strength to turn those favorable coincidences into opportunities and seize them, it is still difficult to predict the outcome of the game if they play again.

But what is certain is that when they meet the Suns again, they will not be as helpless as they were in the previous two matches, nor will they be as restless as they were before this time against the Suns, and they will not worry that they do not have the strength to compete with the opponent.

Liu Xiu opened the task section.

"Strong will:
The host has completed the 2004-2005 season regular season 'refused to be swept' achievement, this season's regular season will be rewarded statistics, each win reward 2000 healing value. "

"Go against the wind:

Goal 1: Host assists must be higher than Steve Nash. (Host assists: 16, Nash assists: 14, completed).

Objective 2: The host needs to lead the team to defeat the Suns. (126 to 120 win, done.)
Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: talent fragment*1. "

Both tasks are done!
Another task, 'The Opposite of Light', has also been half completed. The match against the Suns has become 1 win and 2 losses. At least one of the three main statistics needs to be the highest in the game, and it also relies on 16 times in a single game. The assist is done.

Liu Xiu really didn't expect that goal 2 of 'The Opposite of Light' was accomplished with the most assists. He originally thought that the probability of the highest rebound in the game was the greatest...

In fact, he almost gave up the task of "going against the wind" after the first half. Nash had 8 assists in the half, but he only had 4.

Unexpectedly, in the second half, a 12-6 reversal with assists was completed!7 assists in a single quarter in the third quarter and 5 assists in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.

Talent fragments, guaranteed 50 healing points, and the possibility of getting an additional [-]% bonus from the 'Nash version of the pick-and-roll training method'... a bumper harvest tonight!

There are already two talent fragments, Liu Xiu looked at it, he already has a talent tendency of 'Mai Mang', and he is trying to get the talent tendency of 'Giant Killer', he began to struggle with which one to choose, or wait for a new one. The innate tendency to appear?Or just gamble for luck?

"It's the Jazz again, let me die..."

"I'll talk to the flight attendant. For my sake, she should meet your request and open the cabin door for you."

"..."

The butcher rolled his eyes, ignored the warden, and collapsed on the seat.

Needless to say, the seats of private jets are comfortable, which cannot be compared with chartered flights. After all, Paul Allen spent money to customize the seats.

On the afternoon of the second day of the game against the Suns, the Trail Blazers headed to Salt Lake City on the 'Paul Allen'. Like every time they played away games against the Jazz, everyone on the way to Salt Lake City looked half-dead.

The Jazz team is a real hard bone, the smelly and hard kind, and they don't forget iron and blood when they are bad.

Sloan is also considered a "die-hard" coach, he just wrote on his face: Even if I play badly, I will not let others look down on me.

Even if the game is difficult, for athletes, Salt Lake City is still a particularly boring city.

First of all, the people here are boring. When you are free, you can hardly see people in the neighborhood. The coldness is one aspect, and there is also the issue of religious belief here.

In addition, the color discrimination here is extremely serious, which can be compared with Boston. The religious teachings here are full of color discrimination and sex discrimination... Even in the 21st century, there have been black people who took money to enter the city. Not the restaurant situation.

Karl Malone said: I have played many national team games, I am the MVP, I am selected to the All-Star and the best team every year, I am the best player in the world, but all the players I have recruited tell me —I'd love to partner with you, but Salt Lake City, no, it's too dirty there.

No one wants to fall in love on Rehe Road, just like no one wants to play basketball in Salt Lake City.

...

Coming to play in Salt Lake City is not entirely without benefits, at least it is safe.

Nothing happened overnight. On the second day, the Trail Blazers players came to the Energy Solution Arena to prepare for the game. At 6:40 in the evening, they entered the venue to challenge the Jazz away, and the away game started at 7:[-] pm.

The itinerary to Salt Lake City is so monotonous, but it is really safe.

But people are safe, and the game is dangerous.

Liu Xiu and his teammates had a crazy match against the Suns the day before yesterday. Today, there was a problem with the rhythm of the game.

For a long time, the Trail Blazers did not find a defensive state.

At the same time, the Jazz's iron-blooded defense led by Kirilenko and Okur, prevented the Blazers with a poor offensive rhythm.

The Suns' defense often has a situation where a change of direction can get a shot.

As for the Jazz, it may not be top-notch, but the first-class defense is maintained, and it is tough, with many confrontations, slow rhythm, and high intensity...

The Trail Blazers played the worst performance in the first three quarters of the season, scoring no more than 20 points in a single quarter in the first three quarters!
首节16比30、第二节15比23、第三节19比21，三节打完，开拓者队以50比74落后爵士队24分。

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers finally regained their form on both offense and defense. Liu Xiu played 9 minutes in this quarter, scored 12 points and 3 assists, led the team to 31 points in a single quarter, and at the same time defeated the Jazz for the first time tonight. The scoring in a single quarter was limited to less than 20 points, which only allowed the Jazz to score 16 points and a single quarter margin of 15 points, but they fell behind too much and failed to complete the comeback.

81 to 90, the Trail Blazers lost to the Jazz away, and their record dropped to 51 wins and 19 losses.

...

In Salt Lake City, the Trail Blazers players don't want to stay for a moment.

If they lose, they don't want to stay. Early the next morning, the Trail Blazers left Salt Lake City and flew to Seattle, the city where the No. 2 Sonics team in the Northwest Division is located.

The vice president began to enjoy the feeling of owning a private plane.

In the past, it was always troublesome to adjust the itinerary. Chartered flights, not the one plane they charter for the next season, but all the itineraries for the season according to the reservation. If the itinerary needs to be changed temporarily, there are many complicated procedures, such as cooperative airlines. Does the company have a plane at the airport in their city at the point in time they need it.

Their charter flight, if they booked an afternoon trip, maybe the plane they chartered was a flight to their city in the morning, and it turned into their charter flight in the afternoon.

Although it can be coordinated, it is always troublesome, and there will inevitably be situations where adjustments cannot be made.

It’s different with a private jet. You can change the departure time and so on at a cost. Their plane is parked there and can take off at any time.

As for the boss who recently gave up the 'Paul Allen' to them, he can only borrow a friend's plane, the vice president doesn't care.

That's right, the vice president thinks the boss said that the interior of this plane is not suitable for a team plane, and he is quite right.

No, the butcher took out another bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet... Is this how these boars drink red wine?It's too wasteful... Cough cough, no, there is still a match tomorrow, and today is drinking on the plane, how decent is it?
But these things are hard to say, who let the boss generously say that everything on the plane can be enjoyed casually?
Looking at this group of restless team members, the vice president thought it would be better to be the warden!In addition to the disadvantages, there are advantages.
