Healing Basketball

Chapter 994 994. The little apprentice is lucky (4000 words)
And compared to Archibald, Liu Xiu's data this time has received a higher evaluation.

In the year when Archibald won both points and assists, the Kings were 36-46 and missed the playoffs.

Compared with Archibald in the 70s and Turtle 10 years later in the original time and space, Liu Xiu received much better evaluations, and the media were full of praise.

He just won the Dynasty, and this season once again led the team to a good result of 58 wins. The media couldn't find an entry point.

On the next morning, Big O accepted an exclusive interview and commented on Liu Xiu: "This is great. I finally saw someone who can average a triple-double again. I think every era should have someone like us. player of.

best player?I'm not sure yet, but!

Senator Jess is what the perfect player should look like in my mind. He has amazing talent and a super high basketball IQ. He is so devoted to the game. He always finds a solution to the problem. He is better than me , and he is still very young, at the best time, I look forward to his next performance..."

Liu Xiu couldn't help smiling when he saw this interview video. When he averaged a triple-double in the first month and had a dozen triple-doubles in a row, it was obvious that he was not very willing when the big O came out to comment.

At that time, what Big O said literally sounded optimistic and encouraging, but the underlying meaning was that his average triple-double was temporary.

Now, Big O can only boast, saying that it was more difficult to get a triple-double in the 60s than it is now?He tried to fool himself first, but he couldn't even fool himself.

At this time, the best way is to boast blood.

Such a change makes Liu Xiu very happy. He has worked so hard this season, which is also one of his goals.

At noon, the league announced the best of the week and best of the month awards for the last regular season.

周最佳球员，东部：麦迪，4胜0负，场均29.5分6.5板4助攻1抢断1盖帽；西部：刘秀，2胜2负，场均37.7分9.7板12助攻2.75抢断0.5盖帽。

Coach of the Month, East: Isaiah Thomas, Knicks; West: Maurice Cheeks, Trail Blazers.

月最佳球员，东部：麦迪，8胜1负，场均27.9分6.1板4助攻1.1抢断0.9盖帽；

西部：刘秀，6胜3负，场均34.2分10.3板10.6助攻2.8抢断0.3盖帽。

...

After Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team in the afternoon, he was immediately taken back to the Willamette Garden Training Center by the team, and received the 7th Player of the Week Award and the 4th Player of the Month Award from the league this season.

Both broke single-season records!

He looked at the data when he won the Player of the Month Award for 4 times, and all 4 times he averaged a triple-double in a single month.

He didn't get a single-month triple-double in January and March, and he didn't win an award.

Except for the fact that the record in November was really broken, with only 11 wins and 9 losses, the record in the other 7 competition months was not bad. The data is in place, and the awards will naturally be obtained.

McGrady's 4-game winning streak directly rushed into the playoffs in April, which surprised Liu Xiuting.

However, when they played against each other at Madison Square Garden last time, Liu Xiu felt the changes in McGrady. McGrady showed off a wave of direct 'upgrade' talents on the court.

Although the Knicks lost that game, McGrady's position as the leader of the team was established.

McGrady after joining the Nets in this time and space is very different from the McGrady in Liu Xiu's impression. This time he got to know McGrady again.

McGrady is no longer the all-around fighter, but a pure scorer. He no longer acts as a father and mother like Paul and Wade, and just scores.

The simpler McGrady seems to be more difficult to deal with than in the original time and space!

And the best coach of the month... With the Knicks' record, it's really no problem for the Assassin to win the award.

But the Assassin wins the award because it has a sense of black humor...

The little apprentice is really lucky. The rookies in the Eastern Conference in April are either injured or have a poor performance. The second best performance is Noah, who only averaged 4 points and 7 rebounds per game.

Due to the sluggish overall performance in the Western Conference in the past two years, most of the rookies with good talent and strong combat power in the 07 class were in the Western Conference. Yi Jianlian won the best rookie of the month for two consecutive months.

刘秀查了下易建联的数据，打了75场，场均7.8分6.2板1助攻0.69抢断1盖帽，好像不及他印象中易建联新秀年的数据好。

But in the original time and space, Yi Jianlian was the starter from the beginning, and he was focused on training but did not perform well. Here he played as a substitute for Josh Smith, Zaza Pachulia, and Marvin Williams. His performance had ups and downs, but In the last two months, he bucked the trend. Although he played as a substitute for the whole season, his performance has surpassed the starting center Pachulia.

Pachulia averaged 23 points and 6.5 rebounds in 4.9 minutes per game this season. Yi Jianlian averaged 21 minutes per game, and the data is even better.

Judging from the current performance, Liu Xiu feels that his suggestion to Yi Jianlian is correct. At present, when Yi Jianlian has an inside partner like Josh Smith, he should not engage in any core style of play. The role player style of play is the best. OK

Joe Johnson averaged 5.8 assists per game this season. The Hawks traded Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue and others for Mike Bibby in the middle of the season. center.

It's true that Josh Smith is a power forward, but his style of play is that of a guard.

...

After a day of rest, on the 21st, the Trail Blazers began to prepare for the first round of the playoffs against the Suns.

The Suns came to Portland yesterday afternoon, and tomorrow the Trail Blazers will usher in the first game of the playoffs at home.

Tomorrow, the Bulls and the Cavaliers kick off the playoffs, the Magic and the Pistons, the Lakers and the Nuggets, and the Trail Blazers and the Suns will play relay games.

The day after tomorrow, the Spurs and the Warriors, the Jazz and the Mavericks, the Pacers and the Eagles, and the Raptors and the Knicks will start a four-group series.

After the team training, Liu Xiu practiced two sets of three-point shooting tasks.

There are still 3 groups with a total of 1800 effective shots that have not been practiced. It is uncertain before the start of the first round.

It's useless to be anxious, he put his mind on preparing for the battle.

Before, he was very upset that the league arranged their games against the Suns and Lakers after the All-Star Weekend, but when it came to the playoffs, he thought this arrangement was too good, and now he can tell the Suns even with his eyes closed. The characteristics and tactical details of the Lakers.

He can even talk about the pros and cons of the new Lakers fantasy backcourt.

After being prepared, I will play against the fantasy backcourt again, and I will never be caught off guard like the penultimate game.

After a day of preparations for the battle, Liu Xiu checked the latest news in the evening.

Like him, fans are interested in tomorrow's Game 4 of Day [-] of the playoffs.

James challenged the strongest in the Eastern Conference. Pierce was the same. He dissed James on and off the court. James' fans and Garnett's fans have already set off a scolding war.

The game between the Magic and the Pistons is one of the highlights of tomorrow. Two of the three first-team center candidates will meet.

Liu Xiu has seen the "new four major centers" this season. Yao Ming, Howard, and Milicic are three of them. The last "four major centers" have not even played an NBA game, and they have not played in the summer league. However, that person is Emperor Auden.

This is outrageous. Back then, Duncan didn't have this kind of treatment...

Liu Xiu heard that Oden was sent to Germany for treatment. Without the veterinary team's "pray to God for his recovery" treatment method, I don't know if Oden can rise like Griffin and Embiid... …

Their series between the Trail Blazers and the Suns is not bad, but it is the game with the lowest topicality tomorrow.

This time the 'shark worship' of the fans really started to dissipate, and they all resigned themselves to their fate.

The MVP match between Liu Xiu and Nash seemed so unfair. Liu Xiu's teammates were very unstable this year, but the players selected by the Trail Blazers for Liu Xiu were all suitable for Liu Xiu.

And Steve Kerr ruined the Suns' championship lineup.

Tomorrow is another highlight game - the Lakers VS Nuggets, the duel between the two great talents of the 96 generation.

Another hot topic is award prediction, playoff team strength list, and playoff player list.

After ESPN came up with a specific ranking list before the regular season, it ate a wave of traffic, which made other media envious.

After the end of the regular season, the major media released their own lists one after another, not afraid of being slapped in the face, and directly gave the rankings.

The media with the highest traffic and the most lively comments on portal websites and forums are still the old three: ESPN Sports, TNT Sports, and Sports Illustrated.

In the team strength list, Liu Xiu saw that the three major media were very conservative, and they all put them in No.1 for three consecutive games.

But No.2 was different from the beginning. ESPN put the Spurs second, Sports Illustrated put the Lakers second, and TNT Sports put the Bulls second.

In terms of player rankings, Liu Xiu saw that he was ranked first among the three major media, which is not surprising.

ESPN puts James second, Sports Illustrated puts Kobe second, and TNT puts Duncan second.

The tendency is quite obvious, and there are many controversies, but the popularity is also unprecedentedly high.

In terms of award predictions, MVP predictions, Liu Xiu saw his name, averaging 33.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 11.24 assists, 3 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, shooting 51.6% from the field and 38.3% from the three-point range, averaging 2.69 three-pointers per game , 221 three-pointers in a single season, setting a record for his highest number of three-pointers in a single season, and his free throw percentage was 91.4%.

With this performance, ESPN created a new 'record' for him: the soft 180 club.

The 180 club needs to shoot 50% of the field goals, 40% of the three-pointers, and 90% of the free throws. It is not a simple sum of the three that is greater than or equal to 180.

There is only one player selected to the 180 club this season-Nash.

Although he was cheated by the team, Nash's shooting percentage dropped seriously after the All-Star Weekend, but at the end of the season, he still shot 51% from the field, 47% from the three-point range, and 90.6% from the free throw line. 4 times into the 3 club.

But Liu Xiu saw that he was not the number one favorite for MVP, but just one of the big favorites.

After the All-Star Weekend, Kobe's data dropped a lot. At the end of the season, he was in full attendance in 82 games, averaging 28.5 points, 6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. He played 36.5 minutes, a new low since he became the starter of the Lakers. He shot 50.3% from the field. , 38.6% three-point shooting rate set a new career high, 62 wins record, becoming a popular candidate for MVP.

Duncan played 78 games this season, averaging 33 minutes per game, scoring 22.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.7 blocks. His efficiency is second only to the 03-04 season, the second highest in his career, and he has become a popular candidate for MVP.

Paul of the Jazz, played 80 games, averaged 21.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 11.1 assists and 2.7 steals per game, 48.8% shooting percentage, 36% three-point shooting percentage, the strongest organizational point guard, and the shooting performance of a top scorer , is regarded as the strongest new generation after Liu Xiu.

The top four in the Western Conference each have a popular MVP candidate.

Other MVP candidates include Garnett, Artest, James and others. The reason why Garnett is not a popular candidate is that Pierce joined, and his record has not improved much compared to last season. The MVP suffers, and James suffers from the record.

The probability of winning seems to be lower than last year, Liu Xiu is not surprised.

He has two consecutive MVPs, and it is not bad to be a favorite.

If you can get the award, you will get it, and if you can't get it, you will fall down.

Best defensive player candidates, Garnett, Artest, Camby, Duncan, Josh - Smith.

Liu Xiu thinks it's on Garnett and Artest. Camby has better statistics, and Duncan usually runs with him...

...

On April 4, the first game day of the 22-2007 season NBA playoffs arrived.

After Liu Xiu woke up this morning, she entered a mode of blocking outside news.

As the network develops more and more, he feels that this matter is becoming more and more important.

At noon, the league, as in previous years, took the lead in announcing the season's best manager award - Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak defeated Bulls general manager John Paxson to win the award.

When Liu Xiu learned the news from Randolph, she complained: "I think the general manager of the Hornets should share half of this award."

Randolph echoed: "That's right, without them, we might have gotten second in the Western Conference...but the Suns are also pretty good in the third place. The Suns are better than the Nuggets."

"But it's a pity that I can't play against Melo and Answer again."

"It's fun for you to beat them, I want to fight Martin and Camby!"

"It doesn't matter, it's not that I met two well-defended opponents."

"..."

The atmosphere of the Trail Blazers' preparations is very relaxed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are proud.

The three major media put them at the top of the team rankings, and Liu Xiu felt the feeling before the start of the season came again... He didn't say anything, if it was useful, there would be no Los Angeles nobles.

After a day of preparation, at 7:40 p.m. in the Rose Garden Arena, the game was about to start. The visiting team entered the field first, and O'Neal, Diaw, Stoudemire, Raja Bell, and Nash played successively.

Liu Xiu looked at Nash, and the other party's eyes lost the brilliance of the past few years...
