Healing Basketball

Chapter 527. Chapter 527.

Time flies to July 7, Liu Xiu's two-week business activities have ended, and he took his family back to his hometown to rest for a few days, and in a few days, in a few days, he will go to Los Angeles to meet his old college teammates The appointments, the appointments with Anthony, Ray Allen, Kobe, Nash and others are all scheduled at the end of the month and the beginning of the next month.

After returning to his hometown, Liu Xiu enjoyed the treatment of a "big star". Unlike the last time he came back and stayed for two days and then hurriedly left to go to the training camp, this time, all his relatives and friends from his hometown came, and his parents even specially A 'champion celebration banquet' was held, and all the neighbors were invited.

The guests who came to the banquet watched a complete live broadcast of his game. Liu Xiu probably couldn't find a few, which reminded him of red and white things...

During the celebration banquet, the director of the sub-district said "Welcome our big star Liu Xiu to go back to his hometown for vacation..." through the hotel's broken power amplifier, which made Liu Xiu really want to shout: Buy him!

However, Liu Xiu was very happy to find that everyone knew him.

Shining in the Olympics and winning the championship in the NBA, it is hard to say that he is a household name in China, but most people have seen him through various information dissemination channels.

Moreover, the TV viewers these days are not as crazy as they will be in the future. Someone recognized him on the road, even NBA fans, at most excited to come up and ask for an autograph. The abnormal products of the fan circle and fan economy have not yet appeared.

As a social bull, Liu Xiu also bought a Polaroid on purpose, and when he met a real fan, he not only signed it, but also sent a group photo.

This time I went back to my hometown for vacation, and Liu Xiu had a very happy time overall. If there is anything painful, Anne-Hathaway bought a bunch of "traditional Chinese cultural souvenirs" that were too fake. No matter where she went, This girl wants to buy everything she likes, what can he do?Carry the bag.

The rest is the rest, and Liu Xiu is also continuing to pay attention to the affairs of the NBA.

The most interesting thing is Popovich's scolding.

After the Trail Blazers signed Ray Allen naked, Popovich raged in an interview: "The NBA should implement a hard salary cap. Those rich teams will always exploit teams without money. They have wardens, Butcher, is it fair to sign Ray Allen for free and not affect their re-signing of Kwame Brown?"

After Paul Allen showed off the low-priced renewal of Raheem at the press conference, and then succeeded in renewing the contract, Popovich went berserk: "They are robbing the players! They are against the players. Squeeze! Damn, Raheem should go to Sacramento and get that 4400 million!"

The reason why Popovich said this is that the Kings wanted to get Raheem, and there was news that the Kings had already used Peja as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Trail Blazers to get Raheem. When the Trail Blazers got Ray Allen, the Trail Blazers naturally had no feelings for Peja. At this time, the Kings were going to find a way to make room for a naked Raheem, and gave a four-year offer of 4 million US dollars. Sim rejected the offer and stayed with the team for 4400 million in two years.

What made Popovich mad the most was what Raheem said in an interview after the contract renewal-"I may not continue to play after this contract ends. I will look at it at that time and I will do it according to my own situation. Decided that if I found out that my performance on the court started to decline, then I would not play again."

Liu Xiu saw an expert's analysis. The reason why Popovich went crazy was not that Raheem cut his salary to renew his contract. Popovich didn't care how much other teams spent to sign a player.

Raheem lowered his stance and willingly accepted a new team role, which was the real reason for Popovich's angry cursing.

In the playoffs of last season, the outlaws have gradually replaced Raheem as the starting small forward. Raheem will most likely play as a substitute in the new season.

As a veteran basketball player, Popovich knows that no matter how willing he is when he signs a contract, he will always feel unwilling to play as a substitute for a player who is not as good as him after he steps on the court.

What is certain is that in the next 3-4 years at least, the strength of the outlaw fanatics will still be inferior to that of Raheem. Moreover, although the outlaw fanatics have excellent defensive talents, in terms of offense, the outlaw fanatics have not surpassed Rahim. Sim's possibility, and the defense is always less conspicuous than the offense.

The role of the outlaw lunatic is a high-end functional player with a focus, and Raheem is an all-around striker who can play alone on the offensive end.

When Rahim, a strong and grass-tolerant player, is willing to play a supporting role as a substitute, coupled with the unique and well-matched starting frontcourt of outlaws, butchers, and parallel import champions...as another championship contender in the West The coach and vice president of the popular team, Popovich is no wonder he doesn't scold.

...

Popovich scolded the street, Liu Xiu just watched the fun, he has paid more attention to the changes of the players of each team recently.

Their Trail Blazers detonated this year's free market.

A few days ago, on July 7, Larry Hughes joined the Cavaliers with a five-year non-bird rights maximum salary of $17 million!
Liu Xiu originally thought that Larry Hughes would not go to the Cavaliers, because Larry Hughes had stated that he would give priority to staying in the Wizards, and after the free market opened, there were a lot of teams that publicly offered Larry Hughes , Larry Hughes has not chosen to leave the team after half a month, he must be waiting for the Wizards to match the contract.

As a result, the Wizards did not give the maximum salary in the end. The breakout outsider who had just been selected to the first defense and was at his peak eventually went to a team that was not suitable for him.

Then the Wizards sent out Stephen Jackson, who averaged 16.9 points per game last season, and Juan Dixon, a 8.2 backup shooting guard who averaged 02 points per game, and got Peja from the Kings.

After seeing this operation, Liu Xiu felt quite confused.

Not matching Larry Hughes' big contract, Liu Xiu heard that the Wizards management was reluctant to pay.

但佩贾的5年6328万美刀大合同也不低了，而且这合同下下赛季才开始执行，到10-11赛季，佩贾33-34岁的时候合同才到最后一年。

Liu Xiu analyzed it. To put it simply, the Wizards wanted to lower the price to renew Larry Hughes. As a result, Larry Hughes left Washington without any nostalgia. Then the Wizards management panicked and became ill. He went to the doctor indiscriminately, and exchanged Peja with Wu Sheng...

But the Wizards wanted to save money, and Liu Xiu also discovered the reason, which had something to do with their prison team.

Because of the pressure their prison team brought to other teams, the value of the insiders of the role players has increased!

First of all, the Nets snatched former Cavaliers center Desagina Diop with a three-year contract of $3 million. 900 million dollars, the Mavericks gave this offer, the Cavaliers have chosen to give up the right to match the parent team, feel that it is not worth the price, did not expect the Nets to raise the annual salary to 01 million dollars.

Immediately afterwards, the Nets also poached veteran center Selk Rebrascia from the Clippers with a two-year contract totaling $2 million.

These two signings have received good evaluations. The Nets have McGrady who averaged 25+ or even 30+ per game, Richard Jefferson who averaged 20+ per game, and the power forward position who can average 10+ per game. + Juwan Howard, who scored, supplemented the inside line with more high-quality blue-collar workers, which is a normal operation.

But the salary given raised the value of the blue-collar insiders!
The Wizards are one of the affected teams. Brandon Heywood, who averaged 9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game last season, could have renewed his contract with an average annual price of 400 million, but the Nets raised these hands and let It took the Wizards 5 years and $2750 million to keep Brandon Haywood, and it would affect the whole body. The Wizards wanted to save a little when renewing Larry Hughes, but they failed to stay This forward and guard swingman who was just selected to the first defense.

In addition to the Wizards, there is another team in the East that has completed a big operation.

Through a series of operations, the Heat signed Anthony Walker, one of the Celtics' twin stars, for $4 million in four years. The magic operator also obtained a championship team transformed by Hubie Brown from his former colleague Logo Man. Standard blue-collar point guards White Chocolate Williams and James Posey.

This wave of operations by the logo man made Memphis fans blow up.

Barkley ran out to catch the heat and said-"Memphis basketball fans are the worst fans in the world."

The hottest team in the West is the Rockets.

Mobley's 5-year $4400 million was poached by the Pacers. The Rockets played emotional cards and hoped that Mobley would cut his salary to stay on the team, but the total salary difference was 1000 million, and the five-year $5 million contract was rejected. .

The Raptors poached Mike James for $1 million in one year, Bob Sura retired due to injury, and Tyronn Lue was poached by the Eagles for $400 million in three years... The hottest thing about the Rockets , or Jeff Van Gundy chose to resign.

When Jeff Van Gundy resigned, he said: "I hope they will fight for Garnett. I believe that Garnett, whose contract expired last year, has enough motivation to partner with Yao. They agreed, but they traded back Joe; To join us, I was already drinking red wine with his agent, and finally they gave me Bob; Point guard, but they traded for Tyronn... OK, they're good players, some of the things I want in those guys..."

Jeff Van Gundy's remarks aroused heated discussions in the United States, but there were a lot of "get together and get away" remarks in China. This Liu Xiu is used to it. After learning about the Rockets' various "substitution" operations, he Don't know where to start complaining.

In addition to the Rockets, there are two other team coaches who are very eye-catching.

The Pistons did not continue to renew the contract with Larry Brown. After the contract expired, they quickly signed the former Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders. Liu Xiu's impression of this coach is exactly his coaching performance in the Pistons.

After Larry Brown ended his coaching career with the Pistons, a team immediately took over-the Knicks signed Larry Brown with a record five-year $5 million contract.

What is the concept of this salary?According to media statistics, Larry Brown has coached NBA teams for 22 years, with a total salary of $4733.87. A contract with the Knicks is equal to what Larry Brown earned in his lifetime.

Normal people think that although Larry Brown is good, he is definitely not worth the price.

Another famous coach named Brown commented on this matter in a obviously sour tone: "Dolan may feel that the limelight has been taken away by the Trail Blazers and Mavericks in recent years. Unconvinced, he used this way to express that they are It is the team that is most willing to spend money in the NBA..."

Before signing Larry Brown, the Knicks had just poached the little shark Eddie Curry from the Bulls for $6 million in 6072 years. The Bulls did not hesitate to give up their parent team when they saw such an offer. right.

How extravagant the Knicks' operations this summer are!
During this period of time, Liu Xiu was engaged in his career while eating melons, which made him very excited.

He is very concerned about the changes in the strength of other teams, but he is mainly watching the excitement.
The Trail Blazers signings have been finalized, 13 guarantee contracts, most of which are 1-3 year contracts, with flexible operating space, plus Louis Williams' 3-year partial guarantee contract, the main list of 14 people has been finalized, and there is one left position, set aside reinforcements for potential injuries, or meet players who really want to be able to sign smoothly.

So now Liu Xiu can watch the excitement of other teams with ease, without any pressure.

...

The time to go back to my hometown to rest is relaxed and comfortable. This kind of time always passes quickly. In a flash, on July 7th, Liu Xiu took Anne-Hathaway, the two cubs, and Qinger to leave the motherland and fly to the ocean. Los Angeles on the other side.

My uncle and aunt are busy with work, and they left after returning to China for two days. Liu Xiu's real rest time has also come to an end. In the next two months, I will start to prepare for the new season with all my strength!

But during this time, he's not idle.

Arrived in Los Angeles on the 30th and stayed at Anne Hathaway's home in Beverly Hills. After a night's rest, Liu Xiu woke up at 31 am on the 7st.

“宿主已执行模拟训练项目：1小时近距离投篮基本功、1小时中距离投篮基本功、1小时三分投篮基本功、1小时挡拆基本功、1小时挡拆后投篮……需消耗993治愈值提取模拟训练成果，是否提取？”

With a thought in Liu Xiu's mind, a sour feeling struck...

Basic shooting skills, current fast-improving and commonly used techniques, this is his offseason simulation training plan.

But there is a premise-point guard play.

If it is Peja who joins, Liu Xiu will continue to play shooting guard next season, then just continue the strengthening direction of last season's main shooting guard.

But the new aid is Ray Allen, Liu Xiu will naturally change back to the point guard position, let Ray Allen play small forward, the offense is no problem, Ray Allen hits the basket without the ball is quite violent, but this The three-point king defends against James and Artest... Liu Xiu thinks he should do it himself.

It was a coincidence that he developed the pick-and-roll with the ball, and he made an appointment with Nash to train together during the offseason.

After enjoying the sourness of extracting the simulated training results, Liu Xiu turned on the system screen.

The healing value in the upper right corner has 233916 points left.

After winning the championship, it has been 38 days. The simulation training alone has already spent more than 3 healing points. This is still not very practiced on those advanced skills.

One very important reason is that his physical strength has improved. With a physical strength of 92, the simulated training time has been greatly improved compared with those who just entered the NBA, and the consumption is naturally more.

Fortunately, Liu Xiu won the championship and won the FMVP, and received a final score reward of 10 healing points. Otherwise, the consumption of simulation training in this offseason would be enough, not to mention the consumption of other techniques of learning Nash's pick-and-roll.

By the way, there are more Ray Allen this summer, and there is another person to learn from. Although next season will definitely focus on holding the ball, it is naturally better to improve off the ball.

Liu Xiu looked at his ability evaluation.

"Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

Age: 23 years old (February 1982, 2)
Net height: 188 cm, wingspan 203 cm, weight: 102.5 kg.

Team: Portland Trail Blazers.

Ability evaluation: 88.

运动能力：速度94（爆发加速81），力量93（爆发力79），弹跳90（弹速77），灵活性94，体力92。

Basic skills: 79 three-pointers, 87 mid-range shots, 93 layups, 93 ball control, 89 passing accuracy, 84 turns, 76 strides, 79 turning overs, 82 emergency stops...

Skills: 89 low post shots, 84 shots after dribbling, 84 acceleration layups on the move, 71 European steps, 71 fadeaway jump shots, 84 rhythm flow breakthroughs, 84 front-direction breakthroughs, 74 emergency stop jump shots, emergency stop catches Shooting 65, post-up singles application skills 70, pick-and-roll basic skills 73..."

Over the past 30 days of uninterrupted simulation training, the effect is very good!

The training-focused three-point skills have been raised to 79, and the pick-and-roll basic skills have been raised to 73. Liu Xiu estimates that it is not a big problem for the three-point basic skills to break through 80 in the new season and improve to an excellent level; the pick-and-roll basic skills are estimated to be close to the excellent level. Next, learn from Nash.

The shot after dribbling and the accelerated shot while on the move have also reached 84, which is only a thin line away from the first-class level. The improvement speed is gratifying, but it has also reached a bottleneck. Fortunately, there is no reminder that the talent limit has been reached. You can find a trainer to adjust or find a technical stream Big brother learning, there are always more ways than difficulties.

The same is true for breakthroughs in rhythmic flow and front-of-body changes, both of which stagnated after 84, and Kobe can be found for both of these.

The CIC has improved to 87, but after reaching the first-class level, the improvement has slowed down, and it has reached the point where it needs time to polish slowly, just like attacking the frame at close range. I have never stopped practicing this, but after 93, there is no progress... ...It's a good thing to say, at least it means that the mid-range shots and layups have reached a very good level.

This more than a month of full-speed simulation training has achieved fruitful results!
It's just this weight... It's okay, it's okay, it will be fine when you start learning skills, even if you can't lose much weight while learning skills, and there are training tasks for advanced strength attribute cards, you can start practicing after you start learning skills, just need It doesn't matter if you keep your weight within 100 kg...

Really not, Liu Xiu looked at the item space, there are two ordinary flexibility attribute cards, try to see if you can get a flexibility attribute point, and add a few kilograms of weight limit, there is always a way.

...

Not long after the breakfast time, Liu Xiu received good news—the chief assistant's contract was renewed!

After a month of ideological struggle, Huo Tu rejected the Nets' invitation and completed a four-year contract extension of $4 million.

With an annual average of $270 million, Huo Tu's salary is higher than that of some team coaches, such as the current coach of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy, whose salary is $220 million.

When Maurice Cheeks became the coach of the Trail Blazers in 01, the contract he signed was only 2 years and 600 million US dollars. In 03, the contract was extended for 3 years. The new season is the last year of the contract, and the salary is also 300 million US dollars. knife.

As far as Liu Xiu knows, the coach is negotiating with the management about renewing the contract. He will definitely be able to stay on the team with a raise in salary. After winning the championship, he has already become a meritorious coach.

Around noon, Anthony and Hakeem Varik came to find Liu Xiu.

Seeing Liu Xiu returning from the playoffs to the offseason, Anthony felt very familiar. This is the Liu Xiu he is familiar with!

The two picked up Liu Xiu and went out for lunch together. They said it was Warrick's treat, but Anthony paid the bill in the end.

In fact, Warrick is older. Warrick turned 23 last month, but he really regards Anthony as the boss.

This small gathering was not long, and Warrick set off for Salt Lake City in the evening to participate in the next training camp of the Grizzlies and the next Summer League in Salt Lake City.

After sending Warrick to the plane, Liu Xiu sent Anthony back to the hotel.

Anthony asked: "Jess, do you think Hakeem can survive in the NBA?"

"I think so."

“How come you see?”

"He has such good physical fitness and is an insider. Although he is not talented in technology, he has a good sense of response, is very low-key, and works hard. Grizzlies coach Floyd is a standard old-school coach, and he will like him like this. player of."

Anthony said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to care about Hakim."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Teammates who have won the championship together always have extra plots. We won the championship together anyway, the championship...the championship...now I am the only one to win it, how lonely..."

"You stop! Let me go down... You really stopped! This place is still several miles away from the city!"

……

……

Let’s update today, Xiaofeng will take a look at how the plot will develop in the next two days, thank you friends for your support, and enjoy a few recommendation tickets for Xiaofeng!Thanks!
