Healing Basketball

Chapter 498 498. This Floor Is Really Strong (5000 words)
The Trail Blazers advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-1. McGrady has become a hot topic in the basketball world. He just wants to say to Liu Xiu: Thank you...

Reached the division finals, the next day, the Trail Blazers had a day off, waiting for the Suns and Spurs G4 in the evening.

It is not impossible for the Suns to be swept in the playoffs.

Liu Xiu took the video of the Spurs home. He also planned to rest this day and spend time with his family, but if he wanted to watch it, he would watch it for a while, but this time he didn't watch the video all day, and became a carpenter. Under the adoring eyes of Hathaway and Qing'er, they worked hard to make some wooden toys for Jaylen and Anna.

A man, even if he is playing marbles, as long as a girl says he is handsome, he will think he is handsome.

In the evening, Liu Xiu and his family watched the live broadcast of the Suns and Spurs G4 in the living room.

The Spurs suffered a bad three-pointer tonight!
In the regular season, the Spurs ranked 14th in three-pointers made per game and 10th in field goal percentage. Not bad, but not particularly good.

But in the playoffs, the Spurs ranked No.15 among the sixteen teams in the first round of three-pointers. When they played against the Sonics, they averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, and their shooting percentage was 26.9%. The team has so many gaps, and after 4 games, the average number of three-pointers per game is only 6.2, and the shooting rate is 39.8%.

In the first round against the Suns, the Rockets averaged 41 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of 7.5%. This is probably the only place where Yao Ming's teammates are better than Duncan's teammates in this year's playoffs.

Tonight, the Spurs made 16 of 4 three-pointers and only scored 12 points in three-pointers, while the Suns made 13 three-pointers.

In terms of three-pointers, the Spurs are 27 points less than the Suns, and the gap is too big.

Even if the Spurs scored 80 points within the free throw line, they eventually lost to the Suns 106-111 and failed to sweep and advance.

The Spurs missed all three three-pointers in the last 44 seconds. After the game, Qing Er murmured, "The Spurs actually lost. Brother, when is the next round of opponents you are considering coming?"

Liu Xiu moved Qing'er's head and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Qing'er was confused: "What good thing?"

"The Spurs failed to sweep the Suns, so we can have a few more rest days to prepare for the game, and the Suns can't come back... If the Suns really come back, wouldn't we be happier?"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Qing'er got it right, and made an eight under her chin: "Even if the Suns fail to come back, if they drag the Spurs two more games, we will have more time to prepare!"

"It is estimated that the Suns will not be able to delay the next game. The Spurs are so close to three points that they almost come back..."

...

After resting for a day, Liu Xiu entered the simulation training mode. When setting the simulation training content, Liu Xiu chose the Golden Rooster independent basic skills and the supporting back hitting technique for 1 hour each.

Give it a try first to see if it works.

Technology, there are always suitable and unsuitable.

If it is suitable, then hurry up and start to develop a prototype in the Western Conference Finals. In just a few days, continue to practice those skills or basic skills that have been practiced for a long time, and it is difficult to bring about improvement. Learn something new. It is one thing to use it, if it is really used, then it will make money.

On the second day, the Trail Blazers began to prepare for the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

Like Liu Xiu, everyone on the Trail Blazers believes that the next round opponent is the Spurs, and many people hope that the Suns can comeback, and they are willing to waste time preparing for the game.

The amount of training is not large, and the training ends at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Liu Xiu stayed and tried to practice Nowitzki's version of back hitting + turning or turning + golden rooster independent jumper.

One hour of effective training is like taking several physical education classes. The movements can be done completely, which is the last shot. Because the force and rhythm in the front are not well controlled, the accuracy of several shots is not high. ... It's not important, the important thing is to practice comfortably!

If you practice comfortably, it means it suits him!Physical conditions, the basic skills of the original technology, in harmony with the new technology!If you feel uncomfortable at the beginning, it is probably not suitable for this technique.

Nowitzki's technique does not rely on athletic ability, and has higher requirements for basic skills and sense of rhythm. Liu Xiu actually thought it should be suitable for him from the beginning, but he still needs to verify it. Now after confirming it, he is very excited!

This back hitting technique can be used in both high and low positions!

There is a troublesome place - Nowitzki's Golden Rooster stand-alone and supporting post-hitting are as advanced techniques as the post-hitting application skills learned from Payton.

That is to say, it is a technique that needs to be based on his own basic skills of back hitting.

But it doesn't matter, you can learn it!
There is Payton in the team, and Los Angeles has Xiaotie... No, there is a master.

Liu Xiu never worried about this kind of thing, just learn the technical ideas that he doesn't know.

As for those opponents who are much taller than him, it is useless for the golden rooster to stand alone... He is not out of his mind. When he encounters an opponent who is more than ten or twenty centimeters taller than him and has excellent defense, he will definitely not run to fight back or Throwing against the defense, he can rush, pick and roll, and play off the ball.

But when encountering an opponent who can back-up, the better the back-up technique, the higher the grasp.

Liu Xiu, who was in a good mood, stayed and practiced two more sets.

Onlookers Randolph asked after Liu Xiu's training: "Warden, are you developing new technology?"

Liu Xiuying said: "Yes, I found that I can't be better than you in the low post, so I plan to expand to a longer distance. This summer I plan to develop the high post. If the high and low post can be combined well, maybe the back Hitting is better than you."

After chatting for a few words, Liu Xiu went to take a shower, and Randolph needed to practice more.

Fortunately, because the opponent is the Spurs, I feel the pressure to stay and practice!
Seeing the back of Liu Xiu leaving, Randolph was very happy.

Almost got ahead of the warden again.

He also has this plan to develop the high post attack. After he has practiced the connecting back attack in sports warfare to a qualified level and can use it in the game, he discovered that this move will be more powerful if there is an outside back attack... But he has no need to improve power.

Now there is!

This time, he must go ahead!

...

With a clear direction for the team's preparations and a clear direction for personal simulation training, Liu Xiu devoted himself to preparing for the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

Time passed day by day, and the other three series of the second round gradually came to an end and came to an end.

On May 5, after the 20ers won G76 with difficulty, they continued to face the Pistons at home.

Relying on Iverson's performance of 34 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals in regular time, the 76ers drew 83 with the Pistons in regular time and entered overtime, but in overtime, Iverson did not move. Yes, only 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. The 76ers only scored 5 points in overtime, while the Pistons scored 12 points in overtime.

95 to 88, the Pistons narrowly beat the 76ers and entered the match point.

21号，回到主场的篮网队迎来了与步行者队的系列赛第5战，靠着麦迪26投13中、其中三分球7中2、外加15中12的罚球拿到40分4板2助攻2抢断，基德的14分6板10助攻，理查德-杰弗森的21分8板……篮网队以101比95险胜步行者队，4比1晋级东决！

阿泰斯特拿下季后赛生涯新高的单场32分，还有15板4助攻，天尊的19分8板5助攻2盖帽也是竭尽全力，但杰梅因-奥尼尔21投8中只拿到18分6板，季后赛真的拉垮。

Jermaine O'Neal is very fierce when the wind is down and when he is bullying less tough opponents.

But the team was in a headwind, and met Mourning, a tough guy, and Jermaine O'Neal was miserable.

On the 22nd, the Suns returned to their home court and ushered in the fifth game of the series against the Spurs.

The Suns tried their best tonight. They tied the Spurs at 111 in regular time and entered overtime. However, the Suns lost in the overtime. The Suns led 2-5 in the first 0 minutes, but later Ginobili, who re-entered the game in 3 minutes, scored 9 points in a row and played a wave of 9-0 with his own strength. In the end, the Spurs narrowly defeated the Suns 120-116 and joined the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals!

刘秀看了这场比赛，当他看到纳什常规时间打了45分钟，25投13中、其中三分球8投5中、外加6中6的罚球狂飙37分8助攻的时候，就知道加时赛纳什应该打不动了。

Nash's physical strength is very good, but he couldn't stand the crazy singles and threw 25 times.

Sure enough, although Nash played a full game in overtime, he made 4 of 0 shots and scored two points only by free throws. Although he scored a career playoff high of 39 points in a single game, he still had to lose.

However, Liu Xiu was surprised to find that the Suns seemed to have gradually found a way to deal with the Spurs!
The last game may have been an explosion, but the Spurs still couldn’t limit the Suns’ scoring in this game. The Suns led 28-24 in the first quarter and 30-25 in the second quarter. The Spurs chose to score in the second half to tie The score was overturned.

However, the Suns' frame protection is too bad. Although Marion's supplementary defense is good on the flanks and his single defense is good, he can't support it alone. What if there is a double Thomas?

The Trail Blazers, Nets, and Spurs have advanced to the conference finals, leaving only the Pistons and 76ers to decide the winner.

Moreover, Iverson, who has reached the peak of his personal ability in a year, generally believes that the 76ers really have the possibility of winning another game, and Iverson fans even point to a comeback.

On the 23rd, the game day for Game 76 of the series between the Pistons and the 5ers arrived.

According to the rules, if the Pistons win tonight, the Western Conference Finals will start on the 25th and the Eastern Conference Finals will start on the 26th.

如果没分出胜负，那么25号活塞队与76人队打G6，27号西决开打、28号东决开打。

If the two teams drag to the tiebreaker, then on the day of the tiebreaker, the Western Conference Finals will start at the same time.

But the 76ers couldn't last that long.

Even if it was Iverson, he couldn't handle it if he was caught alone.

今晚他19投仅4中，76人队以69比85惨败活塞队，卡特拿到23分8板3助攻、比卢普斯15分8助攻、本-华莱士5分22板，三人携手带队击败76人队，大比分4比1晋级东决！

……

……

On the second day, May 5, the Trail Blazers began their final preparations.

The content of today's preparations is the team training game, which has nothing to do with the Spurs, just play a game to find out the feeling.

They beat the Mavericks on the 18th to advance. From the 19th to the 23rd, it took 5 days. Except for the rest on the first day, they were actively preparing for the next 4 days with the Spurs as their imaginary opponent. It's not that the preparations are insufficient, but that the rest is too long, and the game state is lost.

5-on-5 actual combat training match, Liu Xiu, Fred Jones, Outlaws, Raheem, McDyess a group; Payton, Derek - Anderson, Delfino, Randolph, Kwame -Brown is one group, and the others are alternates.

After the training match started, everyone could feel Liu Xiu's excitement and joy!

Gouging Payton in the low post, attacking Derek Anderson, and playing Delfino in the pick-and-roll with McDyess... Seeing Liu Xiu alone tossing the three perimeters of the second team in turn, he was still complaining that he was not the starter. Huo Tu, who had a training match with the team, said that he had an upset stomach and it didn't matter if he didn't play.

That is to say, but the very emotional little Momonga has actually been set on fire by the warden!
Not only Little Flying Squirrel, but also his teammates were infected by Liu Xiu. The training game was extremely fierce. The warden was rough, and the gloves made small moves. A slobbering roar responded...

The coaches are no longer worried about the state of the players, but are worried that the players are too passionate and hurt themselves in the training game.

The Spurs have also come to the Rose Garden Arena to prepare for the game. They arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon.

On the east side, at noon today, the Pistons set off from Detroit to Jersey City just after the promotion... Rutherford, which is more than an hour's drive away, is actively preparing for the battle.

While the four conference finals teams are preparing for the battle, other teams are also busy with their affairs.

Just today, the Bulls and Hornets held a joint trial in Chicago. The 2004-2005 season All-American center, Wooden Award winner, Naismith Player of the Year, ESPN College Student of the Year...etc. Andrew Bogut, an international student from the University of Utah, participated in this trial training.

As the favorite of the No. [-] pick, Bogut's performance has attracted much attention. In the trial training, he slammed the top five pick Channing Frye, and abruptly dropped Frye's draft expectations by a few picks.

High school student genius center Andrew Bynum and University of Florida's rich second-generation David Lee were all ruthlessly crushed in the matchup with Bogut. In this joint trial training, Bogut can be said to have stole the limelight, and Said that he will not participate in the trial training of any team except the Hornets.

In terms of training, Bogut is the leader.

The flow of free agents is also very lively.

This summer, many stars who signed 98- to 00-year long-term contracts from 5 to 7 will expire or can jump out of the player option!

These players are basically stars from the class of 95 to 98. For example, the Trail Blazers' Little Momonga and Raheem are the favorites in the eyes of the teams this summer.

Marbury, Big Z, Larry Hughes... and other stars' contracts have also expired, but they have no clear intention to leave the team.

The star who clearly wants to leave the team and many teams want to get-Kurt Thomas in the 95 class.

He issued an ultimatum to the Knicks management. If he fails to trade him to the team he wants to go to during the draft, he will refuse to implement the player option before the free market opens.

Nicknamed Dirty Kurt, his behavior of forcing the palace has been evaluated as "benevolent and righteous", because his contract was signed in 2000 as a 5+1 middle class, and his salary this season is only 558 million US dollars, but his performance is Played 80 games, was suspended for two games for fighting, and averaged 11.7 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. Although he has no independent offensive ability and the second offense is not good, but the catch and shoot are very accurate, and the overall mid-range shooting percentage Reached 45.1%.

According to rumors, the Rockets are interested in Kurt Thomas and feel that he is very suitable to be a power forward next to Yao Ming.

But the star who is most direct and determined to leave the team when his contract expires is Ray Allen, the head of the three musketeers of the Supersonics!

Ray Allen once again rejected the Sonics' contract extension and made it clear that he would not stay in the Sonics!

According to the details exposed by the source, Ray Allen's attitude is very firm, but he is unwilling to stay in the Sonics, and even refused the meeting request of Sonics owner Howard Schultz.

Ray Allen didn't show any intense emotions, but it just made people feel that he was too ruthless and decided to leave, leaving no chance for the Sonics.

Liu Xiu was very surprised when he saw the news. He remembered that Ray Allen should have stayed with the Sonics until 07 and was finally traded to the Celtics.

I don't know if the team can fight for it?
He thinks he can try to make a phone call after the season is over, anyway, if he gets rejected, it's just a matter of a little phone bill.

...

At 2005:5 p.m. on May 25, 7, in the Rose Garden Arena, the atmosphere was frenzied and noisy. Players from the Spurs and Trail Blazers had already entered the stadium.

After the lights came on, Liu Xiu stomped her feet and jumped a few times.

The butcher asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you, warden? The shoes don't fit? No, haven't you gotten used to these new shoes these days?"

Liu Xiu responded, "I want to try to see if the floor of the Western Conference Finals is strong enough."

"Ah?" Randolph's peasy eyes: "Is that firm?"

"It's very strong. After the game, I have to tell the security guards to guard the arena carefully. Don't let anyone steal the floor. This is the floor of the Western Conference Finals!"

Randolph: "????"

After testing the hardness of the Western Conference floor, Liu Xiu turned her attention to the man.

Just now, when he stomped his feet, the task reminder came!

"Giant Slayer:
Task object: Tim Duncan.

Game Type: Playoffs Western Conference Finals.

Mission keywords: The most powerful striker in history.

Goal: Defeat the Spurs to reach the Finals.

Reward: talent fragment*1.Note: Since Kevin Garnett did not enter the playoffs and Yao Ming and Shaq O'Neal were eliminated, the task rewards at this stage are automatically upgraded to final rewards. "

Thanks Nash!Thanks for the answer!
If Yao Ming, Duncan, O'Neal, and Garnett were all cleared in the playoffs to complete this task, Liu Xiu chose the dog leash.

At this time, another task came.

"...The series of missions of the rose in full bloom: Triggered by the first experience of the Western Conference Finals.

Goal: Put Tim Duncan in the background again..."
