Healing Basketball

Chapter 537 537. When I Didn't Say It!

The last game was already 3 and a half months ago, and the Trail Blazers fans can't wait to hope that the new season will start immediately.

The day has finally come!
It's just a preseason game, but it's better than nothing.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown's starting five came to the field.

The big-screen camera was on Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu's entrance photo from last season's finals was placed next to him for comparison.

Many fans at the scene couldn't help but laugh when they saw this comparison. They were used to the change in the shape of the warden.

Liu Xiu has black hair, who did this director learn from?Ask the vice president to deduct his salary!
On the other side, the starting lineup sent by the Warriors looks very talented - Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Adonal Foye you.

Baron Davis is very ambitious this season. His starting teammates also have Mike Mitellus, Ike Diogu, Zach Kabakappa, Andres Biedrins on the bench. A bunch of lottery rookies, although not as lucky as Carter, can be exchanged for a super insider like Yao Ming with a first-round pick in a few years, which is already better than his teammates in the Hornets!

At 7:30 in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Warriors in the preseason game.

Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball over the bloated Foyer, the Blazers went first, and Baron Davis walked to the top arc with a steady pace, waiting for Liu Xiu to advance and compete with Liu Xiuyi Compete.

But as soon as Baron Davis came to the top arc, he saw Liu Xiu rushing across the middle circle and passing Foyer!

When Baron Davis reacted, Liu Xiu had already rushed in front of him. Baron Davis moved quickly, but was still slow, unable to stop Liu Xiu who was accelerating diagonally after approaching the top arc.

Liu Xiu went straight to the basket!

Murphy saw an opposing player rushing inside, and Foyer hadn't even entered the three-point line. He wanted to defend, but after seeing who was rushing in, Murphy was about to step into the three-second zone. At that moment, he forcibly stopped his feet and performed the most perfect emergency stop in his life.

With no one under the basket, Liu Xiu rushed inside and jumped high to smash the ball into the basket!

Liu Xiu's start ignited the audience!

Hearing the manic cheers, Murphy glanced at the crazily shaking basket, and was so lucky that he didn't stay under the basket.

As for how fierce Liu Xiu was, Murphy didn't care, and it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, it wasn't him and Liu Xiu, or even his frame protection.

But there is always someone who wants to confront Liu Xiu.

Baron Davis still had question marks in his head when he received and advanced the serve.

What surprised them was not that Liu Xiu was still so fast in this size, but that Liu Xiu's size was obviously out of control at the beginning of the new season, and he seemed to be running faster and jumping higher than before!
Is this growing your body?But this guy obviously grows sideways!
Liu Xiu was delighted to hear the cheers, and so were his teammates.

During the physical test on September 9, the teammates were surprised by Liu Xiu's speed. The body fat percentage was so high that the speed was not affected. With the deepening of the training camp, after Liu Xiu's weight dropped below 24 kg, the teammates They are messy.

Liu Xiu hasn't recovered to the size of the playoffs, but his speed seems to be one point faster than when he played in the playoffs last year!How terrible would it be to wait for the body fat rate to drop?
Now, watching the surprised look of the opponent, the teammates feel better, because this is their warden!

The Warriors attacked, and Baron Davis singled Liu Xiu, relying on his increasingly proficient body change to break through, Baron Davis passed Liu Xiu, met Kwame Brown in the middle distance to defend, Liu Xiu also bit his back, but Baron Davis didn't panic at all. He scored the ball from a short distance on the right side. Foyer caught the ball and pressed it into the inside, and confronted Randolph...Foye, who is 208 cm and 123 kg I can't stand Randolph!
Randolph is currently a huge tonnage of 206 cm + 127 kg!In the past half month, he has lost 5 pounds, and he is still the heaviest power forward in the league.

Foyer's high-flying throw shot was ironed, Liu Xiu retracted to the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound, and counterattacked!
'Talent: Flying Squirrel' triggers, counterattack speed +3!Temporary speed 97 during the counterattack!

Baron Davis blocked and intercepted Liu Xiu, but was dodged by Liu Xiu. Amidst the screams of the fans, Liu Xiu rushed all the way to the basket on the opposite side, took off... and hit the basket.

There was a sound of disappointment from the fans at the scene, but then it turned into cheers.

Or the warden they are familiar with...

No one dunks at the basket?Murphy was ignorant in the last dunk, and the warden dunked an empty basket.

"Baron Davis, 26 years old, 191 cm, 97 kg, PG/SG, ability evaluation 89, offense 90, defense 79, passing 90, three-pointer 78, mid-range shooting 82, layup 93, speed 91, Strength 90, bounce 93..."

When retreating, Liu Xiu looked at the player detection report of Chin Lang-Davis. It was very powerful, but he was very sporty in the frontcourt. Foyer's pie-eating awareness and ability were completely unmatched by the bearded passer. .

Offensive and defensive transition, or the Warriors' offense.

When the bearded man went back to receive the serve and advance, the coach of the Blazers clapped his hands on the sidelines, and Liu Xiu said OK.

In the next game, even if there was a chance to counterattack, Liu Xiu did not fight back. He fell into the positional battle well, practiced tactics, and counterattacked twice. It made the fans who came to the scene happy today, and that was enough.

The tactics implemented are to launch a team attack around Ray Allen's zone running and Ray Allen's shooting threat. The first choice is to create shooting opportunities for Ray Allen, and create one or more responses on this basis Point, Liu Xiu's role in the tactics is to catch the pot and shoot, stand up and play singles when the team's offense is not opened.

I played very well in training and team training games, but in the real game, I was not so familiar with the opponent's defense, and the overall position on the field was different. I played very poorly at the beginning, and the start was 4-0. After playing a few rounds, the score became 9 to 10 and was overtaken by the Warriors. The Trail Blazers called a timeout for adjustment.

Except for the previous two counterattacks, the Trail Blazers only scored 4 points in the first half of the quarter. Offensive talent, Jason Richardson counterattacks fiercely, the speed and bounce of the dunk king are very good, Dunleavy's follow-up line selection makes people have to focus most of the fast-break defense on him.

Even Murphy, who has been criticized for his big contract, is also eye-catching. His brisk footwork can make fast breaks, and he is quite good at chasing COSCO shots.

Of course, the most important thing is the ability of the bearded Davis to push back!

Although it was a preseason game, Baron Davis was still stimulated by the Trail Blazers' practice of using them to train troops, and played hard.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers made a lineup, Randolph was replaced, and the lineup of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess came on the field.

The Warriors sent Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Michael Pietrus, Ike Diogu, and Murphy.

After overtaking the score, the bearded man was very excited. He felt that he could give the prison team a hard shot tonight. Although it was only a preseason game, he felt good about winning against Liu Xiu.

As a result, the Trail Blazers played a wave of 7 to 18 in the last 12 minutes of the first quarter!

The Blazers' defensive counterattack was beautiful!
Liu Xiu pushes the counterattack, McDyess guards, outlaws and Kwame Brown fly on both wings, and Ray Allen follows up to respond. As long as the opponent is defended and the defensive rebound is guarded, the Trail Blazers will be driven by Liu Xiu' The counterattack launched by the "Flying Squirrel" talent was completely unstoppable by the Warriors' poor defense.

The impact of the outlaws and Kwame Brown has already had a high tacit understanding with Liu Xiu. Ray Allen performed very well in the three musketeers formation last season, and he likes this brisk offense very much.

The focus is on defense!

Maurice Cheeks originally thought about whether to send Payton to help Ray Allen integrate into the defense. Payton has much richer defensive experience than Liu Xiu, but compared to the running-in of the defensive end, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen It is more important to polish the tacit understanding. In the case that Randolph may be slowed down at the beginning of the season, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are crucial to the performance of the two guns in the backcourt.

However, just as he didn't expect Randolph to be so undisciplined, Maurice Cheeks didn't expect Ray Allen to integrate so smoothly on the defensive end!

Ray Allen has worked hard on this aspect. During the offseason, he almost watched all the defensive video clips of the Trail Blazers' more than 100 games last season; and Liu Xiu studied Ray Allen's offensive and defensive videos in September. It didn't take less time to coordinate teammates and Ray Allen's defensive cooperation very well.

Of course, the efforts of the outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess are also very important.

After entering the intermission, Maurice Cheeks looked at his players. With Randolph seriously overweight at the beginning, if the attack does not work well at the beginning, then he has to take the defensive counterattack route?
This possibility is not impossible!In Morris-Cheeks' view, the odds are high!

Their positional offensive tactics of the Trail Blazers cannot bypass Randolph, the team's strongest insider. They will not focus on creating a positional offensive routine without Randolph. Now they have to adjust their tactics, and they also use Randolph as the insider The core is adjusted on the premise, regardless of Randolph's current state.

In the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Ray Allen, Delfino, Raheem, and Mourning to continue to adapt the positional warfare tactics.

However, after the start of the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks called Liu Xiu over, as well as Huo Tu, Shuai Bu, and the vice president to put forward his ideas.

After listening to Morris Cheeks' coping strategy, Liu Xiu's first reaction was to defend in case of indecision?

Nothing wrong with this year!

But Liu Xiu also had an idea and said, "Coach, I have an immature suggestion, let's learn how the Nets play?"

Maurice Cheeks' eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Can you play like Kidd?"

"..." Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and replied, "Sorry, pretend I didn't say anything."

"..." It was the coach's turn to remain silent.

The warden's suggestion this time is really immature.

Maurice Cheeks might not have thought of letting Liu Xiu launch a counterattack like Nash, Kidd, and Andre Miller. If they can really fight, Liu Xiu might be able to win the MVP.

But he and Huo Tu studied for a while based on Liu Xiu's demonstrated ability, and finally chose to give up.

In terms of Liu Xiu's ability and the team's lineup structure, Liu Xiu's counterattack is far less powerful than Liu Xiu's counterattack arrow.

Morris Cheeks ignored Liu Xiu's immature suggestion and began to give ideas for defensive counterattacks.

It’s good for the point guard to instigate the team’s counterattack, but the situation does not allow it. Maurice Cheeks chose Liu Xiu or Xiao Feishu Chong, and the others followed up with the counterattack method. Keep it simple and focus on defense. The dominance was handed over to Bu Shuai.

After making a decision, Maurice Cheeks focused on the game itself, arranging lineups and playing styles to be tested according to the actual situation. Famous + champion coach, his vision is naturally not bad. You don’t need to try the lineup and tactics to know that it won’t work. Similarly, there are some temporary tactical adjustments…

With the Trail Blazers' style of play, the strength displayed must not be guaranteed. In the second half, after trying most of the tactics they wanted to experiment, Maurice Cheeks began to send training camp contract players. These 5 players became For such a long time as a sparring partner, what he wants is this little playing time, and he must be satisfied.

The main reason is that Ray Allen's tactical understanding is too good, and he is talented, capable and hardworking. Today, the main thing is to let him get in touch with his teammates more and try more tactics based on him. It will be done at halftime.

On the other hand, the bearded man on the other side became more and more unhappy, more and more angry, and harder and harder!

In the next three quarters, Baron Davis led the team to a score of 80 to 64. In the end, under his leadership of 39 points and 35 assists in 9 minutes, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 102 to 91.

...

The Trail Blazers lost the first game of the preseason, and the media have something to write about.

打了27分钟拿到13分4助攻的刘秀、打了19分钟拿到6分4板的兰多夫，获得的评价一致——不自律、体重超标、状态崩了。

Evaluation of Ray Allen joining the Trail Blazers in the first game-affected the original perfect tactical system of the Trail Blazers.

On the morning of the second day of the first game of the preseason, Liu Xiu heard these comments from the media from Qinger.

This is the first time I heard from the media that their prison team has a perfect tactical system, but I didn't expect this to be the case.

Liu Xiu thinks it is correct to say that the outstanding weight is overweight and the state has collapsed, but why is he tied as the warden and the butcher?
Wasn't his opening dunk handsome?
Well, no live broadcast, no video, no truth, his opening fast break dunk only exists in the mouths or keyboards of those fans who watched last night's game live.

In addition to these two statements, he also heard the media criticize their coach's rotation, saying that they rotate blindly, and replace any lineup that plays well...

When Qinger read this, she complained: "Do we have to play like the finals in the preseason? These reporters have no common sense at all! No, I will go online and argue with them later!"

Liu Xiu responded, "Isn't their goal achieved?"

"For what purpose?"

"Infuriate you elementary school students, let you go online to question, and then there will be a group of people who want to refute everything to refute your words and create heat."

Qing'er clenched her fists tightly: "They are so despicable!"

It's the third year in the NBA. Liu Xiu has already seen through the media's routines of creating topics...and some people can't see through.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the arena on the set time. Seeing that Randolph was already sweating, he asked the trainer. Randolph was stimulated by the media saying that he was "collapsed" and started to lose weight. !

In the past half a month or so, Randolph only lost a little over two kilograms, and his motivation to lose weight was seriously lacking.

The current Randolph is not the big black bear who has experienced everything, that big black bear, although the prodigal son turns around and strives for victory, but laziness is really lazy, the state of the first two game months of each season in the double bear era It's very cheating, and it's useless to scold, because I have endured all scolding.

But now Randolph is still young, and the first thing he thinks about when encountering this kind of thing is how to slap the media in the face.

Liu Xiu felt the motivation of Randolph to lose weight.

As for helping the butcher adjust his mentality and letting him know the sinister intentions of the media, the warden will not do it.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, when the assembly time came, Liu Xiu found that there were few people in the training field. An undrafted rookie from Stanford University was missing, and a small forward Don Hamilton, who had played a few games with the Heat, was also absent. The coach The team didn't say anything in particular, but everyone knew that these two people were indeed not up to the standard as sparring partners.

The overall direction of team training has not changed, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Randolph, the team offense built around the three of them.

But a defensive counterattack training session was added.

Defensive counterattack has changed from an offensive option to a team's tactics that need to be polished.

After a two-day break, on October 10th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Timberwolves in the same division at home.

The Trail Blazers still started with Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, Kwame Brown; the Timberwolves sent Marko Jalic, Trenton Hassel, Szebia Ke, Garnett, Olowokandi's starting lineup.

The three-headed monster of the Timberwolves, now only Garnett is left, Cassel joined the Clippers for 3 million in 2000 years, the Timberwolves are not willing to give this money to Kassel, to the madman, the madman thinks it is not enough to support his family, and finally both of them left Timberwolves.

In the past offseason, when the Timberwolves had a sense of presence, only the madman yelled the phrase '2100 million is not enough to support my family'.

But the madman didn't expect that after he rejected the Timberwolves' three-year $3 million contract, no team would invite him.

The vice president of the Trail Blazers planned to try Madman with a basic salary. They needed a small forward, but the coach forcibly refused.

The coach looked at the vice president in the wrong eyes during that time, full of defense...

In addition to losing two heads, the Timberwolves didn't even keep the starting center.

Liu Xiu looked at the opposite starting lineup. Garnett had only one handsome guy Szczerbiak among the four starting teammates last season, and Szczerbiak publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with McHale at the end of the regular season last season. During the offseason, he was sold by the Timberwolves on the shelf. There is no way if he doesn't sell it. Szczerbiak will be able to jump out of the final year of his contract next summer, and the Timberwolves will have nothing left.

Some media broke the news that the Celtics are full of interest in the white small forward. Maybe when the regular season starts, Garnett's starting teammates will really change all over.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started. The Trail Blazers played a wave of 22 to 8. Randolph scored 8 points in the half quarter!
Fat has a fat style of play, Randolph is pressing Garnett in the paint tonight and using his body to force him!

Without Przybilla's help, Nesterovic has long been poached by the Spurs, Mark Madsen will be out for a long time due to injury...Garnett's best inside teammate is Olowokan Dee!

And Olowokandi, who has reached the age of 30, now has no three axes. His strength was not good, and he collapsed at [-]...

It doesn’t matter if they are not strong enough. The Timberwolves are not even working hard now. Three of the five starters are missing. A year and a half ago, they were the regular season champions and the favorites for the championship. I thought the nightmare was over at the end of last season. , the nightmare has just begun...

In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 18 to 12 in the half quarter, leading 40 to 20 in a single quarter.

The fans at the scene were very excited, and their own players were scoring wildly.

But for the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers, this is not a good game. They would rather lose, because they did not slack off, did not fight randomly, but the strength of their play was not outstanding. Teams with overall strength may not be able to beat them, but they hope to meet an active opponent like the Warriors in the preseason, which will be more conducive to their running-in. Huo Tuchou died when they met the current Timberwolves.

But Maurice Cheeks has no worries, since the opponent is like this, then play a defensive counterattack!
Although it may not be possible to practice defensive counterattacks, at least the players can get used to the feeling of counterattacks.

So, in the next two quarters, Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel took turns to push for a counterattack, or they played together to fight a counterattack... After three quarters, the score was 100-55.

The three training camp contract players played the entire quarter at the end of the quarter, and the flying mouse who led the team gave almost all of the shots to the three. Originally, it seemed that the preseason was a bit too cruel, but in the end, the three played hard. He worked harder and scored a score of 33 to 28 in a single quarter.

最终，靠着刘秀22分6助攻、小飞鼠15分7助攻、兰多夫20分9板2助攻、雷-阿伦17分……开拓者队以133比83狂徒森林狼队50分！
