Healing Basketball

   Chapter 537 537. When I didn't say it!

  The last game was 3 and a half months ago, and the Blazers fans can't wait for the new season to start immediately.

   The day is finally here!

  Although it’s just a preseason, it’s better than nothing.

   In the cheers of the fans, the starting five of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown came to the court.

  The big screen shot was given to Liu Xiu, and the entry photo of Liu Xiu in the finals last season was placed next to it for comparison.

   Many fans at the scene couldn't help laughing when they saw this comparison. They were used to the changes in the body shape of the warden.

   Liu Xiu has a black line, who did this director learn from? Find the vice president to deduct his salary!

The starters sent by the Warriors on the other side look very talented - Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Adonal Foyer. .

Baron Davis is very ambitious this season. This starting teammate, Mike Mitrus, Ike Diogu, Zach Kabakapa, Andres Biedrins are on the bench. A bunch of rookies in the lottery, although not as lucky as Carter, a super insider like Yao Ming can be exchanged for a first-round pick in a few years, which is already better than his teammates in the Hornets period!

   At 7:30 p.m., the preseason game between the Blazers and the Warriors kicked off.

Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from the bloated Foyer, the Blazers took the lead, and Baron Davis walked to the top arc with a steady pace, waiting for Liu Xiu to advance and compete with Liu Xiu Compete.

   But as soon as Baron Davis came to the top arc, he saw Liu Xiu rushing through the middle circle and overtaking Foyer!

   When Baron Davis reacted, Liu Xiu had already rushed in front of him. Baron Davis hurriedly moved his footsteps, but he was still slow and failed to stop Liu Xiu, who was approaching the top arc and accelerating diagonally.

   Liu Xiu went straight to the basket!

Murphy saw that an opponent was rushing inside, and Feyer had not yet entered the three-point line. He wanted to make up for the defense, but after seeing who was rushing in, Murphy was about to enter the three-second zone with his feet. At that time, he forcibly stopped and performed the most perfect emergency stop in his life.

   There was no one in the basket, Liu Xiu rushed inside and jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket!

   Liu Xiu started the game and ignited the audience!

  Murphy listened to the manic cheers and glanced at the frantically shaking basket. Fortunately, he didn't stay in the basket.

   As for how fierce Liu Xiu is, Murphy doesn't care, and it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, it's not him and Liu Xiu facing each other, or even his frame protection.

   But there are always people who want to confront Liu Xiu.

  Baron Davis still had a question mark in his head when he received the serve and advanced.

   What surprised them was not that Liu Xiu's body was so fast, but that Liu Xiu's body was clearly out of control at the beginning of the new season, and it seemed that he ran faster and jumped higher than then!

   This is growing a body? But this guy is obviously long sideways!

  Liu Xiu was very cool listening to the cheers, and so were his teammates.

During the physical test on September 24, the teammates were surprised by Liu Xiu's speed. The body fat rate was so high, but the speed was not affected. They are messy.

   Liu Xiu hasn't recovered to the shape of the playoffs, but the speed seems to be one point faster than when he played in the playoffs last year! How scary is it to wait for the body fat rate to drop?

   Now, looking at the surprised look of the opponent, the teammates feel very happy, because this is their warden!

The Warriors attacked, Baron Davis singled against Liu Xiu, relying on the increasingly proficient body change direction to break through, Baron Davis passed Liu Xiu, met Kwame Brown in the middle distance to make up defense, Liu Xiu also clenched his back, but Baron Davis didn't panic at all. He scored the ball at close range on the right side, and Foyer received the ball and pressed into the inside line, fighting against Randolph...Foyer, 208 cm and 123 kg Can't stand Randolph!

  Randolph is currently a huge tonnage of 206 cm + 127 kg! He has lost 5 pounds in the past two weeks and is still the heaviest power forward in the league.

  Foyer's high-flying shot was thrown, Liu Xiu took back the basket, grabbed a defensive rebound, and fought back!

  'Talent: Momonga' triggers, counterattack speed +3! Temporary speed 97 during counterattack!

  Baron Davis defended and blocked Liu Xiu, but was dodged by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu rushed all the way to the opposite basket amid the screams of the fans at the scene, took off...and hit the basket.

   There was a burst of disappointment from the fans at the scene, but it turned into cheers.

   is the warden they are familiar with...

  No one dunks anything in the basket? Murphy didn't understand the last button, so the warden dunked an empty basket.

"Baron Davis, 26 years old, 191 cm, 97 kg, PG/SG, ability rating 89, offense 90, defense 79, passing 90, 3-point 78, mid-range 82, layup 93, speed 91, Strength 90, bounce 93…”

When retreating, Liu Xiu looked at the player detection report of Chin Lang Davis. It was very powerful, but he was very athletic in the frontcourt. Foyer's awareness and ability to eat cakes were not worthy of the bearded passing. .

   Offense and defense conversion, or the Warriors attack.

   When Beard went back to receive the serve, the Blazers coach clapped his hands on the sidelines, and Liu Xiu said OK.

   In the next game, even if there was a chance to counterattack, Liu Xiu did not fight back. He fell into the positional battle well, practiced his tactics, and counterattacked twice. The fans who came to the scene today were amused. Enough is enough.

The tactic implemented is to revolve around Ray Allen's regional movement and launch a team attack with Ray Allen's shooting threat. The first option is to create shooting opportunities for Ray Allen, and create one or more collusions on this basis. Point, Liu Xiu's role in tactics is to take the pot and shoot, stand up and play singles when the team's offense is not open.

I played very well in training and in the team scrims, but in the real game, I was not so familiar with the opponent's defense, and the overall position on the field was different. At the beginning, I played very poorly, and it started 4-0. After a few rounds, the score became 9 to 10, and the Warriors overtook it, and the Blazers called a timeout for adjustment.

In addition to the previous two counterattacks, the Blazers only scored 4 points in the first half of the quarter. Baron Davis took the opportunity to play several counterattacks. Except for the slow center, the Warriors showed very good speed. Offensive talent, Jason Richardson counterattacks fiercely, the speed and bounce of the slam dunk king are very good, Dunleavy's follow-up line selection makes people have to focus most of the fast break defense on him.

   Even Murphy, who has been criticized for his big contract, is also eye-catching. His brisk footsteps can make fast breaks, and he is quite good at chasing mid-range and long-range shots.

   Of course, the most important thing is the ability of the bearded Davis to push the counterattack!

  Although it was a preseason, Baron Davis was still stimulated by the Blazers' practice of training their troops, and he played very hard.

   came back from the suspension, the Blazers made a lineup, Randolph was replaced, and the lineup of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess played.

  The Warriors sent a combination of Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Michael Pietrus, Ike Diogu, and Murphy.

After    overtaken the score, Beard was very excited and felt that he could give the prison team a hard shot tonight. Although it was only a preseason game, he felt good about winning Liu Xiu.

   As a result, the Blazers played a wave of 18 to 12 in the last 7 minutes of the first quarter!

  The Blazers' defensive counterattack is beautiful!

Liu Xiu pushed the counterattack, McDyess guard, extrajudicial madman and Kwame Brown flew on both sides, Ray Allen followed up, as long as he defended the opponent and defended the defensive rebound, the Blazers were led by Liu Xiu' Momonga's talent launched a counterattack, and the Warriors' poor defense was completely unable to stop it.

   The impact of the extrajudicial fanatics and Kwame Brown has already had a high tacit understanding with Liu Xiu. Ray Allen performed very well in the three-musketeer formation last season and likes this brisk attack.

   The focus is on defense!

Originally, Maurice Cheeks was thinking about whether to send Payton to help Ray Allen integrate into the defense. Payton has much more defensive experience than Liu Xiu, but compared to the running-in on the defensive end, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen The tacit understanding and polishing are more important. In the case that Randolph may be delayed at the beginning of the season, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are crucial to the performance of the double guns in the backcourt.

   However, just as he didn’t expect Randolph to be so undisciplined, Maurice Cheeks didn’t expect Ray Allen to integrate so smoothly on the defensive end!

Ray Allen made a lot of effort in this regard. In the offseason, he watched almost all the defensive video clips of the Blazers’ more than 100 games last season; Liu Xiu studied the video of Ray Allen’s offensive and defensive ends in September. No less time was spent, coordinating his teammates with Ray Allen's defense very well.

   Of course, the efforts of the extrajudicial fanatics, Kwame Brown, and McDyess are also very important.

   After entering the inter-season break, Maurice Cheeks looked at his own players. With Randolph seriously overweight at the start, if the attacking run-in was not smooth at the beginning, then he had to take the defensive counterattack route?

   This possibility is not impossible! In Maurice-Cheeks' view, the odds are pretty high!

The Trail Blazers’ offensive tactics of positional warfare cannot bypass Randolph, the team’s strongest inside line. They will not focus on creating a positional warfare offensive routine without Randolph. Now they have to adjust their tactics and use Randolph as the inside line. The core is the premise adjustment, regardless of Randolph's current state.

   In the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks sent a combination of Momonga, Ray Allen, Delfino, Rahim, and Mourning to continue to work on the tactics of positional warfare.

   But after the start of the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks called Liu Xiu over, as well as Huo Tu, Bu Shuai, and the vice president, and put forward his ideas.

   Liu Xiu's first reaction after listening to Maurice Cheeks' coping strategy - if you are indecisive, go to the defense?

   There is nothing wrong with this year!

   But Liu Xiu also had an idea and said, "Coach, I have an immature suggestion, let's learn how to play like the Nets?"

  Maurice Cheeks' eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Can you play like Kidd?"

  "..." Liu Xiu was silent for a while, and replied, "Sorry, when I didn't say it."

  "..." It was the coach's turn to be silent.

   Warden's suggestion this time is really immature.

  Maurice Cheeks may not have thought of letting Liu Xiu launch a counterattack like Nash, Kidd, and Andre Miller. If he can really fight, Liu Xiu might win the MVP.

   But he and Huo Tu based on Liu Xiu's ability, studied for a while, and finally chose to give up.

   In terms of Liu Xiu's ability and the team's lineup structure, Liu Xiu's counterattack is far less powerful than Liu Xiu's counterattack arrow.

  Maurice-Cheeks ignored Liu Xiu's immature suggestion and began to give ideas on how to play defensive counterattacks.

It's good for the point guard to instigate the team to counterattack, but the situation does not allow it. Morris-Cheeks chose Liu Xiu or Momo Chong. The dominance is handed over to Bu Shuai.

After making the decision, Maurice Cheeks focused on the game itself, arranging the lineup and the style of play to be tested according to the actual situation, famous legend + champion coach, his vision is naturally not bad, with actual combat test, there is You don't need to try to know that it won't work. Similarly, there are also some tactical adjustments that have been added temporarily...

With the Blazers playing like this, the strength they show is definitely not guaranteed. In the second half, after trying most of the tactics you want to experiment with, Maurice Cheeks began to send training camp contract players, and these 5 players became After so long sparring, what he wants is just this little playing time, and he must be satisfied.

   The main reason is that Ray Allen’s tactical understanding ability is very good, and he has talent and strength and works hard. Today, the main thing is to let him run in more with his teammates and try more tactics based on him, and it will be done at halftime.

   And the beard on the other side is getting more and more unhappy, the more he fights, the more angry he is, the more he fights, the harder he fights!

   In the next three quarters, Baron Davis led the team to a score of 80-64. In the end, under his leadership of 35 points and 9 assists in 39 minutes, the Warriors defeated the Blazers 102-91.

  …

  The Trail Blazers lost their first game of the preseason, and the media had something to write about.

   Liu Xiu, who scored 13 points and 4 assists in 27 minutes, and Randolph, who scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes, received consistent evaluations—disciplined, overweight, and broken.

  's evaluation of Ray Allen's first game joining the Trail Blazers - it affected the original perfect tactical system of the Trail Blazers.

  On the morning of the second day of the first game of the preseason, Liu Xiu heard these comments from the media from Qinger.

   It was the first time I heard from the media that their prison team had a perfect tactical system, but I didn’t expect this to be the case.

   Said that he was overweight and his state collapsed. Liu Xiu thought it was right, but why did he rank him as the warden and the butcher?

   Isn't his opening deduction cool?

   Well, no live broadcast, no video, no truth, his opening fast break dunk only exists in the mouths or keyboards of those fans who watched last night's game live.

   In addition to these two statements, he also heard the media criticize the rotation of their coaches, saying that they rotate blindly and replace any lineup that plays well...

  Qinger complained when she read this: "Do we still have to play the preseason like the finals? These reporters have no common sense at all! No, I'll go online and have a theory with them later!"

   Liu Xiu replied: "Isn't this their goal achieved?"

   "For what purpose?"

   "It irritates you elementary school students and asks you to question online, and then there will be a group of people who have to refute everything to refute your words and create popularity."

  Qinger clenched her small fists: "They are so despicable!"

   Entering the NBA for the third year, Liu Xiu has already seen through the routines of the media to create topics... and some people can't see through.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the arena at the set time. Seeing that Randolph was sweating profusely, he asked the trainer to inquire about it. Randolph was stimulated by the media's saying that he was in a state of collapse and began to work hard to lose weight. !

   For more than half a month before, Randolph only lost a little more than two kilograms, and his motivation to lose weight was seriously lacking.

The current Randolph is not the **** bear who has experienced everything. The **** bear, although the prodigal son turned back and tried hard to win, but lazy is really lazy, the state of the first two game months of each season in the double bear era It's all pitiful, and it's useless to scold, because I've endured every scolding.

   But now Randolph is still young, and the first thing he thinks about when he encounters such a thing is how to slap the media in the face.

   Liu Xiu felt Randolph's motivation to lose weight.

   As for helping the butcher adjust his mentality and let him know the sinister intentions of the media, the warden will not do it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the gathering time came, Liu Xiu found that there were fewer people in the training ground. An undrafted rookie from Stanford University was missing, and a small forward Don Hamilton, who had played a few games with the Heat, did not come. The coach The group didn't say anything in particular, but everyone knew that the two of them were indeed not good enough as sparring coaches.

   The overall direction of team training has not changed. Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and Randolph are attacking the team built around the three of them.

   But a defensive counter attack training session was added.

  Defensive counterattack has changed from an offensive option to a set of tactics that the team needs to polish.

   The two-day break passed in a flash, and on October 14th, the Trail Blazers ushered in the challenge of the Timberwolves in the same division at home.

The Blazers are still starting with Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Extrajudicial Fanatics, Randolph, Kwame Brown; the Timberwolves sent Marko Yalic, Trenton Hassell, Szebia The starting lineup of Gram, Garnett, and Olowokandi.

The three-headed monster of the Timberwolves, now only Garnett is left. Cassell joined the Clippers for 20 million in 3 years. The Timberwolves did not want to give this money to Cassell, but to the madman. The madman felt that it was not enough to support the family. the Timberwolves.

   In the past offseason, when the Timberwolves had a sense of presence, only the madman shouted that "21 million is not enough for me to support my family".

   But the madman didn't expect that after he rejected the Timberwolves' three-year, $21 million contract, no team invited him.

  The Blazers’ vice president originally planned to try Madman at a minimum salary. They needed a small forward and were forcibly rejected by the coach.

   During that time, the coach looked at the vice president wrongly, and he was full of precautions…

   In addition to losing two heads, the Timberwolves did not even keep the starting center.

Liu Xiu looked at the starting lineup opposite. Garnett’s four starting teammates last season only had one handsome guy, Szczerbiak, and Szczerbiak publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with McHale at the end of the regular season last season. It was put on the shelf by the Timberwolves during the offseason. There is no way if they don’t sell. Next summer, Szczerbiak can jump out of the final year of the contract. By then, the Timberwolves will have nothing left.

  Some media broke the news that the Celtics are full of interest in the white small forward, and it may be that when the regular season starts, Garnett's starting teammates really change all over.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started. The Blazers played a wave of 22 to 8. Randolph scored 8 points in the half quarter!

   Fat has a fat style of play, Randolph will press Garnett on the inside tonight and use his body to eat!

Without the help of Przibila, Nesterovic has long been poached by the Spurs, Mark Madsen will be out for a long time due to injury... Garnett's best inside teammate is Olowokandi !

   And Olowokandi, who is 30 years old, doesn't even have three axes now. His strength is not very good, and he collapsed at 30...

It doesn’t matter if the strength is not good. The Timberwolves are not even fighting hard now. There are three fewer starters. A year and a half ago, they were the regular season champion and the championship favorite. I thought the nightmare was over after last season. , the nightmare has just begun...

   In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers scored another half-quarter score of 18-12, leading 40-20 in a single quarter.

   The fans on the scene were very excited, and their players were scoring frantically.

But for the Blazers coaching staff, this is not a good game. They would rather lose because they didn't slack off, they didn't play indiscriminately, they just didn't play well. Teams with overall strength may not be able to beat them, but they hope that they will always meet a positive opponent like the Warriors in the preseason, which will be more conducive to their running-in. When they meet the current Timberwolves, Huo Tuchou died.

   But Morris-Cheeks has nothing to worry about, since the opponent is like this, then play a defensive counterattack!

  Although it may not be much exercise to play defensive counterattacks, at least it can make the players get used to the feeling of counterattacking.

  So, in the next two quarters, it was Liu Xiu and Momomoko who took turns to play to push the counterattack, or the two played the counterattack together... After three quarters, the score was 100-55.

In the last quarter, the three training camp contract players played for the whole quarter. The Momoko who led the team gave almost all the right to the three of them. Originally, they thought that the preseason was a bit too cruel. Even more, the single quarter scored 33 to 28.

  In the end, relying on Liu Xiu 22 points and 6 assists, Momoko 15 points and 7 assists, Randolph 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen 17 points... The Blazers scored 50 points against the Timberwolves 133 to 83!
