Chapter 541. 541. Preseason Finale (Seeking double monthly tickets!)

Payton is such a self-disciplined player. After one summer, his ability evaluation plummeted from 81 in the finals to 76. Liu Xiu was surprised and felt that there was no big problem.

But in fact, Payton has improved in some aspects. With the adjustments in the past two seasons, Payton's high-post shooting performance in the preseason this season is actually better than last season.

In 6 preseason games, I scored 9 three-pointers from the wing catch and made all of them. 9 of 3 shots, not to mention how good it is, at least it is quite satisfactory, and I can throw it. The jumper area allows for more flexible positioning.

In the case that his athletic ability has plummeted and his basic skills of fixed-point shooting have improved, Payton's strength has plummeted by half a stop, which is the reason for his role positioning.

But the veteran enjoys it, and prefers to mix with the defensive master, Bu Shuai, and enjoys guiding young players. Liu Xiu thinks it is also good.

The other two point guard teammates.

"Damon Stoudemire...82 Ability Rating...90 Offensive...94 Speed...

Steve Blake... ability rating 74..."

Little Flying Squirrel's comprehensive ability evaluation has dropped a bit compared to the estimate at the beginning of the training camp. The offensive evaluation has not changed due to the improvement of basic skills and techniques. The decline is in physical fitness, which has fallen below the top!

Because Little Flying Squirrel is training very hard now, his speed has dropped a bit, and his teammates can't feel any change in the ability displayed on the offensive end.

What the teammates felt was the increase in Liu Xiu's speed...

The ability that Blake showed during the preseason is 3 points higher than the estimated stage!Accurate wing shooting, steady passing, moderate organizational offensive ability, quite good second and third point guards, hardworking and tough.

'Three-point leader 92, slam dunk leader 76... Nothing has changed. The three-point leader has maintained a really good state. It may not be a big problem to continue the peak period of 90+ evaluation for three or four years. The talent of the slam dunk king will not work. Training I worked really hard, but I really don't have much talent in technology, so I was blinded by such a good physical fitness...'

"The outsider is 79, the offense is 75, and the defense is 85...Under the guidance of the three-point leader, he has made great progress in the bottom line. Delfino is 66. He is not good, and the progress is slow..."

"Raheem's 85...is also caused by the change of role, but this way he can still maintain the performance of a first-class star with an 85 rating. The effect is really powerful."

"The few center forwards haven't changed much. Butcher, with an ability rating of 86 kg. He lost more than 123 kg in the past half a month. This time, he lost less than 4 kg in half a month. It's hard work, but it's not the same as I thought. , It’s still a matter of technology. He was in his 30s when he was in his 120s and his optimal weight was 24 kg. Now he is only [-] years old, and he relies more on speed and jumping..."

Looking at Randolph's player detection report, Liu Xiu found that his perception of Randolph was different from the reality, and he really understood what is going on with Randolph at this stage.

The good news is that the situation is much better than the expected two months waiting for Randolph to use the game to lose weight.

Before the start of the season, Liu Xiu felt the difficulty of the defending champion. There are too many uncontrollable factors!
No wonder he was as strong as Shuihuayong, almost lost in the Western Conference Finals, and finally became Cosmos Yong to complete a title defense.

There is also the training of young players, which has greatly affected the progress of their running-in. This young player is an outlaw lunatic.

It's not that extrajudicial fanatics are bad, but that he is too young, only turning 9 in September this year, and has too many shortcomings.

If a system is established to allow the outlaws to play a role, he can do a good job, just like Rahim paved the way for the outlaws last season.

Now, Raheem is on the bench, and the outlaws need to become the main part of the system. In the process of building the system, he is much worse than the experienced and comprehensive Raheem.

But this is the process that the outlaws must face, and it is also the process that their Trail Blazers must face.

...

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers continued to train.

In the next preseason game, they are completely preparing for the regular season.

I didn’t notice it before, but after communicating with the coaching staff this time, Liu Xiucai discovered that in their latest tactical training, the tactical roles of Delfino, Fred Jones, Varejao, etc. are not so important. Now as a training partner, not to mention these few people, even Kwame Brown, judging from the latest tactical training, is no longer an indispensable part of the team.

Liu Xiu recalled the training content during the training camp stage and the beginning of the preseason. At that time, the current 15-man lineup was used as a whole to polish tactics. In other words, this was an adjustment made as the preseason progressed. It is not a decision made with a slap in the head, but a decision made after hard work, tried, and based on the actual situation.

Come to think of it, who wouldn't want to find a lineup that fit perfectly before the season even started?

The importance of stability to a team goes without saying.

From the coaching staff and management, he agreed very happily because he knew that everyone was working hard for the championship.

But afterwards, there will always be sad emotions, which is human nature.

When encountering this kind of thing, he chooses to think in a good direction and force everyone to stay together to develop in a bad direction. It is better to actively make changes so that everyone can avoid going in a bad direction.

Thinking about it this way, my mood quickly adjusted.

Two days passed in a flash. Liu Xiu's team training with the team's head coach in the past two days is mainly divided into two parts, one is positional battle star tactics, and the other is defensive counterattack. The main practice is defense. Let's come down these two days, Liu Xiujue So, if basketball fans who don't know who they are see their training, they might think of them as the Spurs or the Pistons...

In terms of personal training, on the afternoon of the 25th and the morning of the 26th, he approached Payton to polish some details of the high post training. Next, he will not continue to study for the time being, but practice first. According to his experience, he can learn when he is learning No matter how detailed you are, when you actually practice and use it, you will still find that it is not good enough, so learn the big training framework well, keep in mind the important details, and continue to adjust later, so that you can be better and more efficient. Develop new technologies.

Soon, the time came to October 10, the last game day of the preseason. There are 27 games to be played today, and the game between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies is one of them.

At 7:15 in the evening, Liu Xiu and his teammates entered the court together, looking at the players on the opposite side.

For the Grizzlies, Liu Xiu felt miserable when he saw them. The man with the logo probably wanted to challenge the difficulty. He rejected the invitations of many teams at the beginning, and chose such an underdog in a small market. In a few years, they have assembled a great core center and a very good lineup of role players, but they can't attract stars to join.

After three offseasons, Gasol's maximum salary contract began to be implemented. The salary of the role players signed in these years has reached the highest one or two years in the contract. The salary exceeds the salary cap and even has to pay the luxury tax. Without the introduction of strong There is no room for reinforcements. The current Grizzlies are a 50-win team.

In this case, the logo man seems to have chosen to give up, and made a deal that made the Grizzlies fans fry - with white chocolate Williams and James Posey, in exchange for the 34-year-old, who was in an avalanche last season Only Eddie Jones, who averages 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game but has an annual salary of more than 1400 million US dollars.

Bill Walton's evaluation of the logo man's operation-using the assets of the Grizzlies to maintain and expand contacts in preparation for the next job.

But these years the logo man’s collection of role players has really done well. Even if the two main players are lost, the Grizzlies still have Bobby Jackson, Eddie Jones, Battier, Lorenzen White, and Gasol. The starting combination, the bench lineup includes Chakalidis, Victor Kayapa, Voshan Leonard, Dengtai Jones, etc., as well as Liu Xiu's younger brother Hakeem Warrick in college,
This little guy may not have much talent, but his immediate combat ability is very good, and he has a very good offensive rebound. He averaged 6 minutes per game in the first 17 games of the preseason, with two offensive rebounds per game. There are also flaws. Continue The performance is not high, and you may grab two offensive rebounds in 10 minutes, but after the opponent is defensive, you may not have a single offensive rebound in the next 10 minutes.

At 7:30 in the evening, the Blazers played against the Grizzlies at home.

From the very beginning, the two teams resorted to iron and blood defense!

This is the same as expected when the Trail Blazers were preparing for the game. Although there are not many Grizzlies game videos, there is not much reference value. In the preseason, there are major adjustments in each game, but the data can still be very clear. The offensive and defensive performance of the Grizzlies can be clearly judged-without white chocolate, the offense is extremely poor, and the scoring average in the preseason is the last in the league, with an average of 86.5 points per game, which is lower than the Timberwolves who averaged 89 points per game; but the Grizzlies The Bears conceded only 84.5 points per game, the lowest in the league!
In fact, you can also know from the lineup that the Grizzlies can only play defense in the new season, otherwise it will be over.

Although the Grizzlies also inferred that the Blazers would play defense based on the changes in the Trail Blazers' preseason data, Grizzlies coach Floyd was very surprised by this direction of development.

Last season, the Trail Blazers averaged second in the league and also introduced Ray Allen. In the new season, they actually played defense against the trend...

In the first quarter, the two teams scored 22 to 19. The Trail Blazers took a 3-point lead. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers made persistent efforts and scored 20 to 19. At the end of the half, the score was widened to 4. [-] points.

Although the Grizzlies scored 23 to 20 in the third quarter, chasing the score to 61 to 62, only 1 point behind, but in the final quarter, Liu Xiu led the team to play a fierce counterattack with 9 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. The Raptors scored 27 points in a single quarter while limiting the Grizzlies to 21 points.

最终，靠着刘秀19分6板10助攻3抢断、雷-阿伦的18分、拉希姆替补登场拿到15分，开拓者队以89比82力克灰熊队，季前赛6连胜收官！
