Healing Basketball

Chapter 457. Chapter 457.

By the way, what is the warden doing?
The vice president came to the corner of the cabin, and sure enough, this brat was here reading... a newspaper?
Do you need to pose as a big guy to read a newspaper?

Seeing someone coming, Liu Xiu took the initiative to pass the newspaper to the person who came to read.

The vice president leaned over to take a look, and suddenly black lines appeared on his head.

He read the newspaper this morning when he was having breakfast, and what Liu Xiu handed him was Barkley's comment on last night's game between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz.

To put it simply, the content is Barkley bragging about Liu Xiu's performance last night.

When the Portland Prison team is playing well, the media may not necessarily praise them, but when they are being abused, negative voices will definitely be indispensable.

They lost to the Jazz, the second-to-last in the Western Conference. Although they only lost by 9 points in the end, the biggest difference was more than 20 points, which was a disastrous defeat.

The mainstream reporting method of the media is to attack the performance of the Trail Blazers. In all aspects, spray as much as you can.

Fans like to watch this, Trail Blazers fans and Liu Xiu fans are also very rigid on the Internet, waving keyboards in various forums, the media are spraying Trail Blazers and Liu Xiu, which maximizes traffic and topics the best way to report.

And Barkley is always so unorthodox...

But what Barkley bragged about, the vice president felt that the fat man really knew how to play!
Barkley's evaluation of Liu Xiu's performance last night - not only his personal performance was good, but he was also working hard to drive the whole team, and successfully helped the team get back to the game state in the final quarter.

There's a tendency towards overblown words and phrases, but that's the way it is.

From the scoring performance of the Jazz, it can be seen that the Blazers' defense is getting better and better, but the offensive state is coming back too slowly.

而进攻状态回来得慢和刘秀没啥关系，刘秀前三节15投7中、其中三分球1中1、外加6中5的罚球拿到20分，这期间开拓者队全队48投13中只拿到30分。

This is not the intention deduced from the "result" of the score. It is really Liu Xiu who relies on his leadership to lead his teammates to actively adjust during the game. Already collapsed.

After halftime, the chief assistant Huo Tu, who shaved his afro, suggested to the coach to give up tonight's game and take a rest, but Liu Xiu's suggestion was that since the game is already like this, it is better to continue to play tactics and try today's game. Adjust the status at night.

Get back the defensive rhythm and boost the defensive enthusiasm, and you may not be able to find a better opponent than the Jazz.

In the end, although the game was lost, the goal was actually achieved. They had already played back and forth with the Jazz in the third quarter, and successfully recovered their status in the final quarter.

During last night's game, the vice president was very envious of Liu Xiu's toughness in the game, ability to maintain state, outstanding leadership ability, super charisma...etc.

Yes, it's envy, not gratification or any emotion, after all, the vice president has also played a few games in the NBA...

But Liu Xiu took the initiative to let others watch the news content that Barkley touted him, and even put on a big boss sitting posture of "I am the second in the world, and the number one is dead"... It's too much to beat!
...

After a night's rest in Seattle, on March 3, the Trail Blazers came to the Key Stadium to challenge the Sonics on the last game day in March.

When the regular season first started, there were two teams known as the 'Shoot Team' or the 'Three-Point Team'.

One is the Suns, and the other is the Blazers' rival Supersonics tonight.

The two teams have a lot in common. They both like to play pick-and-roll, the strongest lineup is strong offensively and defensively weak, and they both broke records with an average of 9+ three-pointers per game...

The performance of these two teams at the beginning was very amazing, but there was a pessimistic voice from the beginning-no defense can't go far.

From the beginning of the season to the middle of the season, the two teams have stood firm and slapped many people in the face.

But more than a month after the All-Star weekend, what should come will always come. There is still a difference in strength. The Suns are now hitting 65 wins, while the Supersonics, which seem to have guaranteed 55 wins at the beginning of the season, are expected to hit 60 wins. , 'reduced' to the fifth position in the West is about to be snatched away by the Nuggets.

Comparing the recent situation of the two teams together is really embarrassing.

But even so, the Trail Blazers were not careless when preparing for the game.

When the loss to the Jazz was already a fact, the coach and the vice president felt that the loss in this game was still valuable-a wake-up call to the players.

During the period after Liu Xiu came back from the ban, the Trail Blazers played smoothly overall. They won both games against the Spurs and the Suns. Last night's loss to the Jazz was strangled.

A day of preparation time passed quickly. At 7:10 in the evening, amidst the wild boos of the fans, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the key stadium.

"The Last Gunner: I am the Warden series of missions.

Goal: Sweep the Sonics this season.

Reward: Sharpshooter (Talent Tendency).

Marksman (Talent): Relevant bonuses for catch and shoot, detailed information will be displayed after the host acquires this talent tendency. "

It was the third time this season that the mission was triggered after defeating the Sonics.

Looking at the name of this mission, Liu Xiu thought he was going to do something to Ray Allen. If it was a three-pointer, his warden was not at all cowardly. Anyway, it was just a loss. Ray Allen had just entered the league. The throne of the first three-pointer is in full swing in the three-pointer.

Unexpectedly, the content of the mission was just to sweep the Sonics, which was not too difficult. After three fights, they had already mastered the method of defeating the Sonics. It's a disaster.

Liu Xiu is not particularly enthusiastic about the reward for this task. If it is to copy a catch-and-shoot talent in the game, he will definitely be willing, but his own talent, he is not willing to be a catch-and-shoot talent.

But that mission had to be done, the Sonics had to be beaten, and there was another mission.

"Hegemony in the competition area: the series of tasks of the rose in full bloom.

Goal: In the regular season of this season, the host needs to gain an overall advantage in the fight against opponents in the competition area. (7 wins and 5 losses, in progress.)
Reward: random attribute +1 (if the random attribute reaches the top level, it will be converted into an attribute card). "

The West has entered a wild era. This year's three western divisions, the Southwest Division is known as the league's strongest division, but in fact the Northwest Division is not bad. Currently, the Trail Blazers are third in the West, and the Sonics and Nuggets are ranked third. Five sixth.

目前开拓者队赛区内交手情况：打掘金队2胜1负，打爵士队1胜2负，打森林狼队1胜2负，打超音速队3胜0负。

Including the immediate game against the Sonics, there is also one match against each of the other four teams in the same division, and at least two must be won.

Not to mention, against those three opponents, Liu Xiu really felt that it was not so safe to win two out of three rounds.

Among the four opponents in the same competition area, Liu Xiu felt that the strongest Supersonic team had the highest chance of winning. Compared with the other three opponents, the Supersonic team's shortcomings were more obvious. In terms of strength, their Blazers team Not so scared... The main reason is that the Sonics are stronger. After the first two months of games, they have become the most important opponents of the Trail Blazers in the same division. The Nuggets and Timberwolves are coming to fight Time to do some research, the Jazz don't even have full prep practice occasionally.

So, must win tonight!Then the next match against those three teams only needs to win one game, and the pressure will be much less.

...

The game is about to start, Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen's 'Quick Fire', 10% shooting speed bonus, and an additional 10% bonus on catch and shoot; Little Flying Squirrel's 'Flying Squirrel', counterattack speed +3, all of which strengthen the offense talent.

When Liu Xiu went to the technical table to apply chalk, Ray Allen came.

Liu Xiu is looking forward to what Ray Allen will give him this time. The cool three-pointer Wang's advice hits the nail on the head every time and has brought him a lot of help.

However, this time Ray Allen just nodded to Liu Xiu as a greeting, without saying anything, Liu Xiu felt inexplicably lost...

At 7:[-] in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Sonics started.

Kwame Brown beat Nick Collison to win the jump ball, and the Blazers started their first down to the boos of the fans.

This season, the Sonics lost the first three matches against the Trail Blazers. The fans on the scene were full of hostility to the Trail Blazers. The Supersonic players and the Trail Blazers also had grievances-the All-Star battle between Lewis and Randolph.

Lewis, who lost the All-Star position, wants to beat Randolph, and Randolph, who has already been elected to the All-Star, wants to prove that he is stronger...

Therefore, the Trail Blazers made the first attack and continued to roll the roll. Lewis was defending Randolph at the beginning, and of course it was handed over to Randolph for singles.

Randolph's beautiful low turn and step back, avoiding Nick Collison's pincer attack and hitting a jumper from close range!
Lewis was ignored. There were only two people inside the Sonics who could pose a threat to Randolph. One was the active and tenacious traditional center Nick Collison, and the contract-year center Jerome James was on the bench.

The Trail Blazers opened the situation from Randolph's point and quickly took the initiative. Marshal Nate McMillan was once again scratching his head and jumping around the sidelines like a monkey, babbling non-stop, but nothing good Method.

I really can figure out a way, the first three fights will not lose more happily than the first time.

For the Trail Blazers, the Sonics are really not that difficult to deal with. They have fought to the limit with the Spurs and the Suns recently, and they feel that the Sonics are really ordinary. As the season progresses, the "Three Musketeers" Lost the sense of surprise, and didn't get better as the season progressed, it was still the same.

And the Sonics don't have that kind of tenacity, which is not as good as the Spurs, Rockets and other teams; nor can it be said to be tenacious, in this respect, it is far behind the Mavericks and Suns, which also focus on offense.

After the Sonics encountered setbacks, it was obvious that they were discouraged. Like the Suns' repeated counterattacks after being suppressed by the Trail Blazers a few days ago, it was difficult to see in the Sonics game.
