Healing Basketball

Chapter 59 59. Don't Copy Any Answers (5000 words)
Liu Xiu passed the ball to Derek Anderson after advancing halfway, and then continued to drop low.

Derek Anderson duly passed the ball back to Liu Xiu who was stuck with Andre Miller.

"The Spurs gave up the all-around teacher after they drafted Parker, because he didn't have a strong point after a serious injury..."

Liu Xiu, who received the ball, had such a thought in his mind, and in an instant, he immediately devoted himself to the work of launching the offense.

Liu Xiu attracted Nene to shrink, Dale Davis lifted it up, and Derek Anderson, who cut in at the top corner on the right side of the free throw line, blocked Joan Barry, Liu Xiu scored the ball, Derek Anderson received the ball, With Anthony back at the basket, Derek Anderson sent the ball to Ruben Patterson high above the free throw line, who caught the ball and took a long two-pointer...miss!
After Liu Xiu scored the ball, he was pulling outside. Nei Nei protected the defensive rebound, and Liu Xiu retreated immediately.

Steady advancement, launching an attack, sending out the ball, pulling away, and retreating... Liu Xiu did these few things in this attack, all of which were very simple operations, except for the strength of his back hitting, there was nothing outstanding A little bit, but the feeling is completely different from the feeling when Little Flying Squirrel controlled the ball before. The fans felt that their eyes were washed clean!
The Trail Blazers went from attacking to being led to retreat, everything went smoothly!

Andre Miller takes the ball from Nene, advances to the frontcourt, continues to cooperate with Nene, and the top pick-and-roll attack...

Andre Miller wants to smash the ball!
Is anyone so guarded?
As soon as he used the pick-and-roll, he saw Liu Xiu retreat to the free throw line, and pulled out to defend Nene's Rasheed Wallace, also guarding the free throw line!

At this time, Andre Miller saw the movement of a teammate and shot the ball... Anthony pushed Ruben Patterson away with brute force, cut into the left side of the three-second zone, received the ball and went to the basket!
Dale Davis took it back, and it seemed that he was about to make up for it, but Liu Xiu made up for it!

When Andre Miller finished the pick-and-roll, Liu Xiu noticed Anthony's movement. As soon as Andre Miller grabbed the ball, Liu Xiu started to move.

Liu Xiu couldn't understand Anthony's cutting style of play very well.

Anthony was unable to complete the change of direction, so he chose to slow down sharply to lean against Liu Xiu, and when he hit it, he dribbled the ball into someone.

Anthony leaned on Liu Xiu and fought hard. Liu Xiu was pushed away a step and couldn't be stopped, but it created a chance for Dale Davis to make up the defense!
Anthony was stuck by Dale Davis, trying to get back...exhausted!

Ruben Patterson also pinched over. Anthony’s passing vision was not good at this position, so he chose to force a throw... He was already exhausted in this round of offense, and his take-off height was about the same as Yao Ming in the two-person confrontation. It was thrown out, but it was ridiculously crooked!

Liu Xiu grabs the defensive rebound!
Try to retreat, Anthony definitely wants to win tonight.

He's the former boss of the Syracuse Orange team!Facing his former teammates, of course he wanted to win.

But tonight...'God damn Jace! '

This guy who kills a thousand knives has a competition today, but he agreed to open a bottle of wine last night!He should be stopped as a college dropout who is not of drinking age!
Although Liu Xiu drank a little more, Anthony knew how amazing his ex-teammate's recovery ability was!
After two more rounds, at 10 minutes and 22 seconds, Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik called a timeout and replaced Anthony.

Under the guidance of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers have learned that Anthony is not in good form tonight, and the defense is very targeted.

And Liu Xiu's command on the defensive end is not bad. The Trail Blazers have been a strong team for many years, and their defensive cooperation is quite good. Anthony was incompetent and furious for a few minutes, and there were basically only side effects left on the court.

During this period, the Nuggets also wanted to resist, but the Nuggets have been rotten for many years. Although they have talents and commanders, the Trail Blazers are obviously stronger in comparison.

Anthony was replaced, looking at Liu Xiu's handsome face that seemed to be always smiling... he was even more angry!

'I'm a basketball player, not as knowledgeable as he is. '

Anthony thought that Liu Xiu's strength seemed to be a little stronger than him, and there was a sentence that Fake didn't know where to start.

In basketball moves, he and others have to rely on their weight to beat Liu Xiu.

'Can't you practice well at ordinary times?Know how to fight? '

After being angry for a while, Anthony gradually calmed down watching Liu Xiu, who was sorting out the Blazers' offense on the field.

"Jess' style of play is the same as before, relying on his teammates, the stronger his teammates, the stronger he can play! '

"This kind of ability must have an upper limit. If you give him a championship-level team, he can't command. At that time, he will be the weakest point on the offensive end. His only strength is post-up...Fortunately, he is just a substitute now. Playing time is rotation time. '

'But his defense...'

Anthony is very aware of Liu Xiu's talent for combing offense within the tactical framework.

But thinking back to Liu Xiu's supplementary defense on the defensive end just now...

Although Anthony is currently in poor physical condition, he can still attack the frame. In the two rounds just now, if Liu Xiu hadn't made up for it in the middle and short distances, it would be difficult for Dale Davis or Rasheed Wallace to win the second round. If the opponent moves ahead of time, even if he and someone don't pass the ball so well, they will have better space to send the ball out.

But Liu Xiu grasped the timing very well...

Anthony recalled the past few rounds. He was amazed by Liu Xiu's improvement in defending and flanking!

Knowing Liu Xiu's "talent", he was amazed, but he was not surprised. In his opinion, this is the improvement that Liu Xiu should have. If he entered the NBA, Liu Xiu did not improve under such great pressure. will surprise him.

……

After the first quarter, Liu Xiu scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the half quarter, and only played back once, and the Nuggets' supplementary defense came quickly.

The Nuggets have defensive pursuits, drive, and no 'face needs', so they will flank when they need to.

Randolph didn't play, Rasheed Wallace focused on defense, and Liu Xiu was able to organize the team's offense well, relying on his strong point of playing from the back.

During the break between festivals, Liu Xiu once again determined his development direction - he must not lose his outstanding strengths!
During the intermission, the Trail Blazers made a rotation, and the combination of Liu Xiu, Wesley Pearson, Travis Outlaw, Zach Randolph and Dale Davis was replaced.

The Nuggets sent a combination of Earl Boykins, Voshan Leonard, Rodney White, Chris Anderson, and Camby.

Tianzun won the opening jump ball, and the Nuggets were the first to attack in the second quarter.

"Woods, who is dominant in the summer league, can't even get playing time in the regular season... It's really two worlds!" '

After a moment of emotion, Liu Xiu concentrated and played the game.

Liu Xiu didn't know what the Trail Blazers' tactics were like last year, but this year, the offense started from the low post accounted for a large part.

Nothing to do with him, mostly to do with Randolph.

Randolph returned to the court, as long as the opponent's basket is not squatting a monster like O'Neal, then of course the attack must start from Randolph's point.

Liu Xiu didn't mean to grab the show at all, and just did what she should do honestly.

He played for 4 and a half minutes in the second quarter. After the first half of the quarter, Liu Xiu was replaced with 3 points and 1 rebound.

No assists were recorded, there was a cut and received the ball against the defender for a layup, there was 1 defensive rebound, Randolph clashed with Birdman in a single, Birdman was called a technical foul, Randolph Called by the coaching staff to the sidelines to appease, Liu Xiu executed the technical foul and made a steady free throw.

The data is not brilliant, and the sense of presence on the court has also declined after Randolph played.

However, when Liu Xiu was replaced, the score was 36 to 25.

From the second half of the first quarter to the second quarter, it took 4 and a half minutes, a little more than 10 minutes, and the Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets 26 to 16!

The Trail Blazers were already stronger than the Nuggets. After Liu Xiu came on the court, the Blazers started playing on the right track!
Playing and playing, the fans' attention was focused on Derek Anderson or Randolph, but the coaches on both sides couldn't help but watch Liu Xiu play on the court for a long time.

There is too much the number between AC!
Nuggets coach Bzdelik is okay, but Liu Xiu's style of play and self-adjustment on the field make him appreciate it.

The Trail Blazers are different here. The coaching staff of the Trail Blazers knows how terrifying Liu Xiu's talent is!
Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar still have concerns-will Liu Xiu drift as his strength improves?
If Liu Xiu really quickly becomes a star level or even an all-star level, it doesn't matter if he is drifting, arrogant, or grabbing power...it doesn't matter.

That's what they did with the Trail Blazers.

The main reason is that Liu Xiu is still very weak...

Now look, this worry is too much to worry about!

Liu Xiu went up and ate a raw one against the back-hitting master Andre Miller, but he didn't have any impulsiveness later on. It was completely different from the way he played the Lakers in the first preseason game. Scheer and Payton just felt it would be more beneficial that way.

The game continues.

Jeff McGinnis replaced Liu Xiu and played the remaining minutes of the second quarter, and Maurice Cheeks sent Randolph and Rasheed Wallace together to play the main offense.

Jeff McGinnis's performance was quite satisfactory when he debuted. He didn't have a prominent performance, but he didn't have any pitfalls. After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Nuggets 51 to 38 by 13 points and entered the intermission.

In the second half, the Nuggets no longer sent Anthony. Nuggets coach Bzdelik took good care of the baby genius and let Anthony rest well.

I didn't ask why, although Bzdelik is also an iron-blooded coach, he worked as an assistant coach next to the magician Pat Riley for seven years, and finally broke up with his mentor Pat Riley because of their personalities. Bzdelik is reasonable enough to accept 'superstar supremacy', while Pat Riley leans toward dictatorship and squeezes out every last bit of oil.

On the Trail Blazers side, Damon Stoudemire was once again sent.

As far as Little Flying Squirrel is concerned, Morris Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar are reluctant to give up if possible.

After all, he was one of the leaders of the team's last peak era!

That Trail Blazers team, in fact, did not have a star in a clear sense, Little Flying Squirrel, Tianzun, Roof of the World, Batman, Number One Gentleman... the stars gathered, worked together to win, and everyone didn't care about statistics. The average points per game in the 1999-2000 season The highest Rashid - Wallace only 16.4 points.

There is a human touch, for sure.

Therefore, if the opportunity can be spared, Little Momonga will always get the one first.

But just like the opening stage, at the beginning of the third quarter, the strength of the Trail Blazers was below the limit of the strength of the little flying mouse.

To put it simply, Flying Squirrel is definitely an excellent point guard in terms of personal ability, but the strength of Fongshu leading the team will not be higher than his personal ability.

And it is still in a team like the Trail Blazers, where most of his teammates know his style of play very well and have extra tolerance for him, his current style of play can achieve such a performance.

With the Nuggets' new star not playing and the pitchers returning to normal, Flying Squirrel led Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, a dual-core pair, unable to widen the point difference, and could only play against the opponent. There was back and forth, and this obviously shouldn't be, this is Randolph plus Rasheed - Wallace!
In the middle of the third quarter, after Earl Boykins replaced Andre Miller, the Blazers were beaten 9-3 by the Nuggets and stopped!
Boykins' pure personal ability is not as good as that of Little Flying Squirrel, but after both sides switched to defensive insiders, Boykins, who does not rely purely on his own personal ability, performed even better than Little Flying Squirrel!
Liu Xiu was very puzzled watching from the sidelines—"there is such a good answer on the opposite side, so why is the flying mouse still playing the same way? '

If Little Flying Squirrel can't increase his effectiveness on the court by changing his style of play, Liu Xiu thinks that Little Flying Squirrel will work hard to prove his ideas are right.

but!

This is clearly not the case...

Liu Xiu couldn't understand what Little Flying Squirrel was thinking, but the head coach Morris Cheeks could.

In Little Flying Squirrel's heart, star status is more important than enhancing his own help to the team.

The opposing team, Anthony, didn't even play anymore. The Flying Squirrel played for 8 minutes and led the team to a score of 13 to 20. The first half was fine, but Boykins made a 9-3 rush in the middle. Maurice Cheeks Replace Little Flying Squirrel and start a normal rotation, allowing Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, and Jeff McGinnis to take turns playing or double point guards.

The game is back on track...

Kevin Preet looked at the little Momonga who ran to the edge of the bench to sulk, and said helplessly to Maurice Cheeks: "It seems that we can only rely on the inside."

Summer's plan, since the flying mouse has recovered from his injury, they plan to create a combination of inside and outside play in the new season, learning from the Lakers' thinking.

But with the start of the preseason, this idea is constantly being adjusted towards the 'Twin Towers' tactic.

Maurice Cheeks shrugged. He is actually more upset than Kevin Pritchar, but he is not the kind of Kevin Pritchar who has worked in the Trail Blazers for many years and experienced the last peak. Coach, those emotions come and go quickly.

During the break in the third quarter, Liu Xiu, who had just played for more than 3 minutes, walked back to the bench.

Maurice Cheeks looked at Liu Xiu, who went up to help the inside twin towers to smooth out the offensive rhythm, and complained to Kevin Pritchar: "It's okay, let's be patient, and there is Jess."

Maurice Cheeks wanted to comfort Kevin Pritchar, but the latter was full of resentment: "If this guy worked hard for a year in college, he might have Anthony's strength now. Do we still have to worry about this? "

"..." Maurice Cheeks chose to shut up, he shouldn't be provoking the grieving woman at this time!

On Liu Xiu's side, as soon as he walked to the bench, he felt the resentment from the two coaches...

'? ? ?What's wrong?Am I playing badly?pretty good!Very good backup point guard! '

……

At 9:22 in the evening, Boykins made a super long three-pointer, and the final whistle sounded!

After 2 hours and 22 minutes of play, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 103 to 97 at home to win the last preseason game.

刘秀在还剩3分钟的时候被杰夫-麦金尼斯换下，下半场他一共打了7分钟，拿到4分1板1助攻1抢断，他觉得表现还可以。

After the final whistle sounded, he received a system prompt, and he was very happy to win. He got up and applauded the teammates who stayed on the court to help the team defend the victory.

The players that the Trail Blazers stayed on the court at the last minute were Jeff McGinnis, Wesley Person, Ruben Patterson, Dale Davis and Rasheed Wallace.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to high-five Dale Davis and Rasheed Wallace. Seeing Liu Xiu approaching, Wesley Persson extended his hand, and Liu Xiu also high-fived.

But Liu Xiu didn't expect Jeff McGinnis to take the initiative to give a high-five... Liu Xiu naturally chose to give a high-five, so he was a little surprised.

Ruben Patterson was willing to cooperate during the game, but at the end of the game, he didn't even look at Liu Xiu, who had a good relationship with Randolph.

After a high-five to celebrate, Randolph, the best performer tonight, went for an interview.

Jeff McGinnis found Liu Xiu: "Jess, we've known each other for so long and haven't had a drink together yet, how about some drinks tonight?"

Liu Xiu declined, "I have an appointment tonight, next time, next time I will invite you."

With this answer, Jeff McGinnis was already satisfied. After emphasizing that even drinking was his treat, he didn't bother.

Watching Jeff McGinnis take the initiative to talk to Travis Outlaw, a high school rookie, Liu Xiu thought to herself—"The fact that the flying mouse was not replaced in the fourth quarter shows a lot of things, Lan Fat The tactical status is a little higher than that of Tianzun...

McGinnis had been a loyal follower of Momonga before, but things were starting to change.

Well, that's normal too.

We are all here to win, yes!That's it! '
