Healing Basketball

Chapter 920

The first 40+ in a single game this season came slower than before.

Liu Xiu thought about it, and it was not until the second month of the competition that he won the first 40+ in a single game, the first time in his career.

But he didn't care much.

He has scored 30 times 40+ in a single season.

He began to understand why Kobe wasn't interested in winning the scoring title again.

In the original time and space, in the 11-12 season, Kobe has been leading the scoring list, and was overtaken by Durant at the last moment.

But after Durant finished his last game, Kobe still had one more game to play. As long as he scored more than 37 points, he would be able to win the scoring title. At that time, it was very easy for him to score 37 points, but he chose the last round of rest to recharge his batteries for the playoffs. In the end, he averaged 27.9 points per game and lost to Durant, who averaged 28 points per game.

But he just understood that if he had the chance to win the scoring title, he would still fight for it...

On the second day after playing against the Grizzlies, Liu Xiu came to San Antonio with the team.

When they arrived at the hotel, Korver was already waiting for them in the lobby, and greeted everyone very warmly.

Liu Xiu felt the difference between black players and white players.

White players are generally enthusiastic, and black players are generally exclusive.

Black players always have that 'I'm different from you' kind of thinking.

Compared with whites and yellows, blacks always want to prove that they are special. When they arrive in a new environment, they will always do something unique and think it is cool.

Or it stems from a deep inferiority complex.

Of course, this refers to the majority, like McDyess and Hill, who are very good at dealing with people.

Among the whites, there is also the maverick existence of Blake.

But when it comes to 'xenophobia', Liu Xiu feels that people of the yellow race are similar, and he was the same at the beginning, but he is more familiar with himself and adapts quickly.

On Yi Jianlian's side, Liu Xiu got information from Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi that this guy was not very happy with the Eagles, he was taciturn, he had been in Atlanta for a few months, and he didn't even have a friend.

Liu Xiu thought that the withdrawn Yi Jianlian in the time and space did not know English. Since 04, he asked Yi Jianlian to enroll in English classes to practice oral English. Yi Jianlian also practiced. When he came to the United States in the summer, Liu Xiu tried it and communicated Not a problem.

The result is still the same...

It's really a matter of character.

There may also be performance. As a No. 9.2 pick, the performance gap between Yi Jianlian and the No. 5.4 pick is too large. His average performance of [-] points and [-] rebounds per game is actually not bad among this year's rookies, but people will always use him and Durant as an example. For comparison, because he is a Tanhuaxiu.

Teammates are not all good people, especially a bad team that has been bad for many years. One can imagine the atmosphere in the team, and there will always be people who are jealous of his status as a No.

Thinking of the opportunity, Liu Xiu would chat with Yi Jianlian and help if he could. After all, he is his apprentice, a good helper for the national team, and one of the three towers.

...

On December 12th, another game day for the Trail Blazers arrived.

In the pre-match meeting in the morning, Huo Tu announced a rather major adjustment-putting the outlaws on the bench and letting Hill start.

The sexy veteran counterattacks online!

This is different from last season.

The extrajudicial lunatics also played as a substitute last season, but that was because of their strategy at the time, which was the defense of the whole team, and the warden used his personal offense to drive the team.

Therefore, the starting lineup is adjusted according to the need for skill or toughness on the defensive end, and even Randolph has been put on the bench.

This time, the meaning of the coaching staff is obviously not 'adjustment due to need', but a real starting adjustment, long-term.

When Liu Xiu heard the news, his first reaction was to look at the outlaws.

The extrajudicial fanatic deliberately grew a beard to try to prove that he was mature, and there was no dissatisfaction.

After the meeting, Liu Xiu approached the extrajudicial lunatic to talk about it.

The extrajudicial lunatic said: "Warden, you don't have to worry about me. The coach communicated with me about this matter in advance. I thought about it and decided to make a change. I hope to bring more help to you and the team." .”

Liu Xiu fell silent after hearing this.

People always feel that when they are young, they have potential.

But in fact, the only 23-year-old outlaw fanatic has made very slow progress after his strength has reached an excellent level.

Liu Xiu once hoped that the outsider would become an unstoppable shooter like Durant, but after four years, the outsider's mid-range shot is quite satisfactory, and he can shoot three-pointers. So far this season, he has averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game. Already a career high.

The key is that extrajudicial lunatics are not lazy, they are very serious, they play ball, games, and sleep every day at three o'clock. A clear stream.

After the silence, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "It's also a good choice to play as a substitute and try a new track."

"That's right, as a substitute, the opponents I encounter are relatively weak. I may perform better, and Grant is my idol. I think he is better than me, and he can cooperate with you better in offense." The warden-approved outlaw is happy.

...

"San Antonio Spurs, 15 wins and 3 losses, 104.6 points per game, 93.4 points conceded per game, 47.4% shooting, 43.9% shooting from the field, 39.7% from the three-point range, 35% from the three-point range %, average number of three-pointers per game: 8.4, limit opponents' average number of three-pointers per game: 5.4..."

At 7:46 p.m., the ATT Center Arena, the Trail Blazers and the Spurs have already entered the stadium.

Liu Xiu looked at the Spurs team report.

You said you hate three-pointers the most?

This season, the Spurs' average three-pointers per game has reached fifth in the league, which is higher than the Lakers' average of 8.2 three-pointers per game.

In front of the Spurs, only the Magic averaged 10 three-pointers per game, the Warriors averaged 9.3 three-pointers per game, the Trail Blazers averaged 9.2 three-pointers per game, and the Suns averaged 8.5 three-pointers per game.

But the scary thing about the Spurs is not how many three-pointers they can make, but that while they make so many three-pointers, they can limit the opponent's three-pointers below the league average.

The opponent is very strong, and there seems to be room for improvement, which makes people feel crazy... But Liu Xiu feels more excited.

If the Spurs system can be completed in the past two years, what a grand event it will be in the past two years when Duncan still has a bit of strength?

I realized that my thinking was wrong, my team's system adjustment is still in a mess, and I actually expect others to get it done soon...but I'm still looking forward to it.

Suppressing the excess excitement, he really wants to win tonight's game!

After losing to the Spurs by 4 points at the beginning of the season, the Trail Blazers have lost 5 straight against the Spurs.

Liu Xiu felt what Duncan felt when he lost consecutively to him...

Duncan's madness was stronger at the time, and the Spurs lost the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

The key is that Duncan felt that the Eastern Conference finals teams in those two years could be hammered.

At 7:58, the referee notified the two teams to start the field. Liu Xiu received a system prompt that the task was coming!
