Healing Basketball

Chapter 553 553. The most 'expensive' team (seeking double monthly tickets)
"Joe Johnson, 24 years old, 201 cm, 101 kg, SG, ability rating 86, offense 93, defense 74, three-pointer 87, mid-range shot 93, layup 91, speed 88, strength 89, bounce 86..."

After leaving the Suns, Joe's individual ability has been liberated. He only turned 24 this summer and has already touched the edge of an All-Star. It is estimated that after another year of training, he will be able to have a stable All-Star level.

After entering the stadium, until the start of the game, Liu Xiu waited to see if there was any task, such as a duel with someone from the Eagles, but no, the system did not give him a chance to collect rewards.

After the game started, it proved that this game was not worthy of a task.

刘秀今晚打了34分钟，15投8中，其中三分球2中1，外加4中4的罚球，拿到21分4板9助攻4抢断，加上雷-阿伦22投8中拿到20分、兰多夫15投6中拿到14分12板、拉希姆替补登场拿到13分、夸梅-布朗10分8板5盖帽……开拓者队以96比74击败老鹰队。

The Eagles were slaughtered at the start!

乔-约翰逊表现其实还不错，18投8中，其中三分球6中2，加上2中2的罚球，拿到20分3板4助攻。

但约什-史密斯14投4中拿到10分6板2盖帽、艾尔-哈灵顿14投6中拿到16分6板3助攻、泰伦-卢6投2中拿到4分2助攻、韦伯斯特8投2中拿到5分……

Only Joe Johnson and Harrington shot more than 5% of the Eagles' players with more than 4 shots.
The Blazers' offense tonight revolved around the scoring of Ray Allen and Randolph. The two of them played really loudly. How to balance inside kills and outside shots is quite difficult.

Ray Allen is the three-point leader, and Randolph is the new generation of talented insiders with the most offensive potential at the power forward position. He is reluctant to give up which one.

But there has to be a trade-off, and now Morris-Cheeks and his brain trust are finding that balance.

Trying it out directly is the best way.

These were said directly in the team meeting.

Liu Xiu felt that in the game, insisting on the tactics centering on the scoring of the two had another purpose - to make the two realize that they both need to make sacrifices.

Because before guaranteeing the two of them's shot rights, there is another prerequisite, which is to build a team around the warden.

In fact, before Ray Allen joined, he had already done a good job of psychological construction. After joining the Trail Blazers, he would no longer be the team's first scoring point; At that time, I also had a similar psychological preparation.

But when the new season really starts, there will definitely be better expectations.

Now, it's time to go through the actual race adjustment process.

In this case, their easy schedule at the beginning is particularly important!
After the game, Liu Xiu accepted an interview with Time Warner Cable Sports, which broadcast live in Oregon.

This game was really nothing to watch, and the reporter racked his brains to think of a question: "Warden, how do you evaluate Johnson who joined the Eagles with a high salary? Do you think his performance is worth so much salary? Or should he stay in the Suns team?" As Nash's helper?"

Liu Xiu responded: "Of course he is worth the salary. He will definitely be better in the future. His shooting is so beautiful. His singles skills remind me of Michael Jordan. In my opinion, he is the contemporary Jordan!"

The Trail Blazers slaughtered the Eagles. This news is not that Trail Blazers fans are unwilling to take a look. Two days ago, the Eagles were slaughtered by the Warriors by more than 30 points. It is not surprising how many points the Eagles lose.

But Liu Xiu's post-match interview attracted a lot of attention, and the topic was not low.

Liu Xiu praised Jordan again!

In this regard, Kobe Bryant, who only scored 3 points in the third game of the new season, had the most intense reaction.

Although Kobe was upset by Liu Xiuyin, Liu Xiu said that he was as strong as Jordan, and he was very happy.

But within two days of being happy, I saw Liu Xiu boasting that Joe Johnson is a 'contemporary Jordan'.

The co-author of this day is killing Jordan as an adjective?Or as a unit of measurement?
...

After playing the Eagles, they took a day off. On November 11, the Trail Blazers ushered in their last opponent for three consecutive games - the New York Knicks.

The Knicks return to the top of the salary rankings this year!And with an annual salary of 1.26 million US dollars, he set a new record for the salary of a single team in the NBA in a single season!
Holding the three-point maximum salary contract of Alan Houston, Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, and the three-point contract of Antonio Davis, Maurice Taylor, Shandon Anderson, and the offseason from the Bulls The Knicks grabbed Eddie Curry, Quentin Richardson traded back from the Suns, the Knicks have 8 players with a salary of more than $700 million this season... Of course, how many of these players can play Competition, this matter is hard to say.

This is after the Knicks used the Houston clause to amnesty the garbage dog Jerome Williams with the remaining three years of his $3 million contract, before reducing the total salary to less than $2100 million.

The Mavericks have spent money like that. Over the years, they have successively introduced Anthony Walker, Jamison, Dampier, Ratliff... Although players come and go, as long as they have the conditions to strengthen, they will not hesitate to spend the luxury tax. Money, this year's total salary did not exceed 9846 million, [-] million US dollars.

The Trail Blazers have just gone through a salary peak period. Two maximum salaries expired and a big contract with an annual salary of nearly [-] million US dollars was amnesty. The current salary is only ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the league. Not surprisingly, the next salary peak There are still two years left.

The Knicks have just entered the salary peak period, and this wave of salary exceeding 09 million will last until 10 or even [-] years.

Rumor has it that the owner of the Trail Blazers is very unhappy with this situation and is trying to find a way to spend money.

At 7:16 p.m., the players of the two teams entered the field.

The Knicks' starting lineup tonight is Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, Channing Frye, and Eddie Curry.

When Liu Xiu saw that these 5 players were starting, he had question marks in his head.

The expression on the opposite side reveals the mean head coach in his heart, it's Larry Brown, that's right!
But the few starters he sent, counting Eddie Curry, all of them are nerve knives!

Even Channing Frye, a rookie inside, Liu Xiu has the impression that Nash was the player with the most three-pointers in the year when Nash won the assists title for the last time.

Yes, it is such a big man of 211 cm + 116 kg.

However, Channing-Frye's ability evaluation of 74 surprised Liu Xiu.

Judging from the performance of the current rookies, Channing Frye is currently the best inside player among the 05 rookies, averaging 10.5 points and 7 rebounds in the first two games.

The Trail Blazers coaching staff took a long time to arrange before the game tonight. After emphasizing the adjustments tonight, the game will start soon.

Liu Xiu received a prompt to choose someone to copy her talent... Alan Houston and Anfernee Hardaway, the two highest paid Knicks, have all retired.

In the end, Liu Xiu chose to copy Marbury...

"...

Opponent: Stephen Marbury, with a matching degree of 45%. Because the host is good at changing directions in front of the body, the matching degree is increased by 15%, and the overall matching degree is 60%. King of direction change, bonus effect: When the host uses the front of the body to change direction, the first change of direction will start at the fastest speed. If it successfully escapes the opponent's defense, the breakthrough will start again at the fastest speed after the change of direction . "

Teammate, Liu Xiu chose to copy Payton's "blocking type" because he had to face Marbury.

At 7:30 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Kwame Brown narrowly beat Eddie Curry to win the jump ball and the Blazers went first.

The Trail Blazers still started, with Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown's five-man team starting.

Liu Xiu received the ball and pushed it to the frontcourt. Instead of launching an attack, he waited for Randolph to touch Eddie Curry on the right baseline and then lobbed the ball. Randolph initiated the attack, and the 'sharp shooter' was activated!
Although his marksman bonus is not high and the probability of special bonuses is low, no matter how small a mosquito is, he is still meat. He is trying to find ways to increase the number of times he can use this talent.

Randolph caught the ball, turned to face the basket, and punched Eddie Curry with his back, a job that O'Neal would not have liked.

After signing the big contract, Eddie Curry's weight surged to 147 kg, 20 pounds heavier than last season!Two days ago when the Knicks played against the Pistons, Yao Ming was determined not to post up in the low post. Now Eddie Curry can defend against low post thieves.

But it's easy to hit Eddie Curry face-to-face. Randolph swayed his shoulders and pulled the ball quickly with his right hand, breaking through from close range and easily entering the three-second zone.

Channing - Furlong's defensive enthusiasm was good, and he recovered to the basket in time. Randolph passed and passed to the free throw line.

Liu Xiu just blocked the big Q on the left side of the free throw line for Ray Allen, who cut from the top arc to the left bottom corner. Liu Xiu just received the ball as soon as he stood firm, and immediately accelerated to break through the middle. He took a step against the big Q dragged by the defense, grabbed the ball, and made a layup three steps slower in the middle!

Big Q Kong has physical fitness and enthusiasm, and the stickers are in place, but how to restrict Liu Xiu's advance and take-off, and how to interfere with Liu Xiu's shooting is not at all!
In fact, he was pretty good defensively when he was in the Clippers, but he is the kind of player who needs continuous teaching. When he arrived at the Suns, the coach just stopped defending, and the Suns management told him that he was in the team's long-term plan. As a member, he gave up defense, and then he really didn't defend, and was sold to the Knicks.

The new coach of the Knicks, Larry Brown, is a coach with high defensive attainments, but it will take a year and a half to build a defensive system. Opportunities for the defensive system, fighting wits and courage with the veterans in the team every day, this group of people is not like the players he coached before, maybe they will become PJ-Carlesimo second.
