Healing Basketball

Chapter 984. 984. Stone Buddha's Knife
The day after beating the Lakers, the Trail Blazers left Los Angeles for San Antonio.

The next opponent to play is the Spurs.

In the evening, Liu Xiu and the coaching staff went to have dinner at a family restaurant that had been reserved early, and chatted about the "triple-double plan" by the way.

After entering the topic, the coach said: "As we expected, the top teams and their stars will not deliberately target whether the warden will win a triple-double; our strategy for weak teams can be very good. ; the only ones to worry about are the teams who are in line with each other."

The vice president nodded: "That's right, I feel a lot more at ease. Jess's triple-double per game seems to be very stable...I'm not thinking of brushing the data, absolutely not, but we have the opportunity to play like that. ,do not miss it."

The coach and the warden nodded together, looking like they were trying to hold back their laughter, which made the vice president want to kick each of them.

Might as well just laugh!

Bu Shuai took over the words: "But our style of play does not match our shield strategy. We can't defend, so the physical strength and energy invested in the shield cannot get the corresponding output."

"Warden, what do you think of this matter?" The coach began to blame.

"Just take it as a habit to exercise the position. We can't do better defensively, and it's good to exercise the basic skills." Liu Xiu chose to avoid the important ones.

Shuai Bu nodded. He had already pointed out the problem. Since neither the coach nor the leading star had any ideas for improvement, and the objective conditions were indeed limited, he didn't say much.

There is an essential difference between cloth coaches and defensive coaches such as Mike Brown, Mike Woodson, Larry Brown...etc.

Those coaches are very paranoid about defense, and if the team doesn't play well in defense, they are anxious to get angry.

The coach only regards this as a job. He will do what the team needs. Even if he was working under a head coach who can't defend at all and doesn't like to defend, as long as he is paid, he can accept it.

Of course he has a great work ethic, and he does things well when he takes the money.

Just like this season, the coach has been making some outrageous demands on him, and he is also trying to find a way, giving suggestions, implementing it if he can, and pulling him down if he can't. He will not lose his temper because the idea is useless.

...

After a night of rest, on the morning of the 25th, the Trail Blazers came to the ATT Center Arena to prepare for the game.

After lunch, Liu Xiu practiced 300 more effective three-pointers, and the fourth major stage of the training task of "Three-point Talent Breakthrough" was completed!
There are two big stages left, 1/3 of the training task.

A total of more than 2 "effective three-pointers" need to be shot. In fact, in the past month, he has made more than [-] three-pointers in training, but the system judged "effective" to be less than [-].

Like the original "CIC talent breakthrough" training, the first four stages of this three-point training are only the most basic basic skills training.

The fifth stage has changed, and it is divided into three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, three-pointers with a step back, three-pointers with a turn, three-pointers with the ball, three-pointers with a turnaround after the ball... and many other aspects of training.

Liu Xiu recalled the time when he had a "Breakthrough in CIC Talent"...it was a nightmare!

At that time, most of his basic skills were at a good level, and very few were at an excellent level, let alone top-notch.

It's different now. Except for the step-removal skill, which he started to seriously develop last summer, the other common basic skills are almost guaranteed to be excellent!

Predictably, this training will be completed faster.

These three-point shooting training combined with other basic skills can independently choose the sequence of training. "Score" and other training combined with his best basic skills, followed by "three-pointers after the pick-and-roll"... Those who are good at it should be done as soon as possible, and finally concentrate on stacking three-pointers.

Today's training is over, take a nap, and prepare for tonight's game against the Spurs.

Before leaving the practice field, he took a few more shots and finished the ball in the basket.

The results of this month's training are still obvious, and the shooting during training is obviously more 'standard'.

He can feel that the 'standard' shooting action, take-off, force, rhythm... are all better, and the combination of basic skills in all aspects can also be expected to be better.

Of course, when it comes to the game, with his current court threat, it is difficult to have such a perfect shot.

But the more standardized the training and the deeper the muscle memory, the more accurate the shots will be in actual combat.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Spurs started.

At present, the Spurs have played 69 games, with 58 wins and 11 losses. The overall strength demonstrated since the beginning of the season is much stronger than the Trail Blazers.

Now if someone stands up and predicts whether the Spurs can go straight to the end of the regular season and become the third team with 3+ wins, people will seriously discuss the probability of success.

今晚邓肯打了42分钟，20投12中，外加8中5的罚球，拿到29分14板3助攻1抢断3盖帽。

吉诺比利25分2板3助攻、帕克15分2板9助攻、斯科拉11分7板、芬利和邦纳各拿到10分……

The Spurs scored 111 points.

刘秀今晚打了39分钟，24投11中，其中三分球8中3，加上6中6的罚球，拿到31分7板11助攻1抢断1盖帽……还有4失误、6犯规。

The reason why he only played 39 minutes was because he fouled too much when defending Ginobili, and left the field with 6 fouls halfway through the fourth quarter.

Known as the 20-minute demon sword of Jordan, he performed wildly tonight, scoring 25 points and only playing 31 minutes.

Only Duncan played more than 35 minutes for the Spurs tonight!

At 10:27 in the evening, the game ended. The Trail Blazers lost to the Spurs 99 to 111. The 7-game winning streak ended. They suffered their 21st loss this season and their record became 49 wins and 21 losses.

...

Before the game, Liu Xiu looked forward to completing the task tonight. After the game, he received a reward of 250 healing points and a reminder of the progress of the task.

"An enemy of the strongest system:
Goal: ... (1 win, 2 losses.) ..."

Spurs had a 'flawless' feeling tonight!

too strong!
Averaged 106.5 points per game, not in the top five, but already in the top group.

The average conceded points per game is 97 points, which is better than the league average. Considering the brisk pace of the Spurs' game and the high number of shots, it can be regarded as a very good defense.

When they played against each other last time, he felt that the biggest problem for the Spurs was the lack of stable offensive players, and Shi Fu was more than stable.

But he has a demon sword!

God knows when Yaodao will soar. The soaring Yaodao is undoubtedly one of the best offensive players in the world. He can break the situation against the Pistons, Pacers, and Bulls.

After patting the back of the parallel champion who was very frustrated after being beaten by Duncan tonight, Liu Xiu walked towards the player tunnel.

Even at the age of 37, Duncan can still hammer the 27-year-old Howard in the playoffs. He is not yet 32 ​​years old, and it is normal to hammer the champion of parallel imports.

Liu Xiu was not discouraged, and there was another chance to fight in the regular season.

Looking forward to the mediocre performance of Yao Dao next time, or... more violent than the demon Ginobili!
