   Chapter 541 541. The end of the preseason (please double the monthly ticket!)

   Payton is such a self-disciplined player. In the past summer, his ability evaluation plummeted from 81 in the finals to 76. Liu Xiu was surprised and felt that there was no big problem.

   But in fact, Payton has improved in some aspects. With the adjustment of the past two seasons, Payton's performance in high-opening shots in the preseason this season is actually better than last season.

In 6 preseason games, he scored a total of 9 flanking three-pointers, all of which were shot, 3 of 9 shots, not to mention how good, at least quite satisfactory, can throw, when playing without the ball, the position is not only high. Jumper area, more flexible position.

   Under the circumstance that his athletic ability has fallen unstoppably and his basic skills of fixed-point shooting have improved, Payton's strength has plummeted by half, which is the reason for his role positioning.

   But the veteran enjoys it, and prefers to mix with the defensive master Bu Shuai, and enjoys coaching young players, Liu Xiu thinks it is also good.

   Two other point guard teammates.

   "Damon Stoudemire...Ability Rating 82...Offensive 90...Speed ​​94...

  Steve Blake…ability rating 74…”

   The comprehensive ability evaluation of the flying squirrel has dropped a little from the estimate at the beginning of the training camp. The offensive evaluation has not changed due to the improvement of basic skills and techniques.

  Because Momonga is training hard now, his speed has dropped a bit, and his teammates can't feel any changes in his ability on the offensive end. It's the same wave as last season, and it feels as unstoppable as it comes.

   What the teammates felt was the improvement of Liu Xiu's speed...

   The ability that Blake showed during the preseason was 3 points higher than the estimated stage! Accurate flanking shooting, steady passing, mediocre organizational offensive ability, quite good second and third point guard, diligent and tough.

'The three-point king 92, the slam dunk king 76... Nothing has changed, the three-point king's state has been maintained really well, and it is not a big problem to continue the peak period of 90+ evaluations in three or four years. It's hard work, but I really have no talent in terms of technology. I'm blind with such good physical fitness...'

   "Outlaws 79, offense 75, defense 85... Under the guidance of the three-point king, the bottom line has improved a lot, Delfino is 66, he can't do it, the progress is slow..."

   "Raheem 85... is also caused by the role change, but it can still maintain the on-court performance of the first-class star rated by 85, and the effect is really great."

"The few centers haven't changed much. The butcher has an ability rating of 86,123 kilograms. He lost more than 2 kilograms in the first two weeks. This time, he lost 4 kilograms in less than half a month. It's hard work, but it's not the same as what I thought. , it’s still a matter of technique. When the Big Black Bear was in his 30s, he was more than 120 kilograms, and he was the best weight. Now he is only 24 years old, and he is more dependent on speed and jumping…”

   Looking at Randolph's player detection report, Liu Xiu found that his cognition of Randolph was deviated from reality, and he really understood what happened to Randolph at this stage.

  The good news is that things are much better now than expected to take two months to wait for Randolph to lose weight with the competition.

   Before the season started, Liu Xiu felt the difficulty of defending the championship. There were too many uncontrollable factors!

   No wonder he was as strong as Shui Huayong, he almost lost in the Western Conference Finals, and finally became Yu Yuyu to complete a title defense.

   There is also the training of young players, which greatly affects the progress of their running-in. This young player is an extrajudicial fanatic.

   It's not that the extrajudicial fanatic is bad, but that he is too young. He only turned 21 in September this year, and he has too many shortcomings.

   If he has built a system to let the extrajudicial fanatics play a role, he can do a good job, just like Raheem paved the way for the extrajudicial fanatics last season.

   Now that Raheem is on the bench, the extrajudicial fanatic needs to be the main part of the system, and in the process of building the system, he is much worse than the experienced and well-rounded Raheem.

   But this is a process that the outlaws have to face, and it’s a process that the Blazers have to face.

  …

   In the afternoon, the Blazers continued to practice.

   For the last preseason game, they are completely preparing for the regular season.

I didn't notice it before. After communicating with the coaching staff this time, Liu Xiucai discovered that in their latest tactical polishing training, the tactical roles of Delfino, Fred Jones, Varejao and others are not so important. As a sparring coach, let alone these few people, even Kwame Brown, from the latest tactical polishing training, is no longer an indispensable part of the team's view.

Liu Xiu recalled the training content in the training camp stage and the beginning of the preseason. At that time, the current 15-man lineup was used to polish the tactics as a whole. That is to say, this was an adjustment made with the in-depth preseason. It's not a decision made in the blink of an eye, but a decision that has been tried, tried, and made according to the actual situation.

   Think about it too, if you can find a perfect fit before the season starts, who wouldn’t want to?

The importance of   stability to a team goes without saying.

  In the coaching staff and management, he agreed very happily because he knew that everyone was working hard for the championship.

   But afterwards, there will always be sad emotions, which is human nature.

   When encountering such a thing, he chooses to think in a good direction, forcibly keeps everyone together and develops in a bad direction. It is better to actively make changes so that everyone can avoid going in a bad direction.

   Thinking of this, my mood quickly adjusted.

Two days passed in a flash, Liu Xiu's team training with the team's head coach in the past two days is mainly divided into two parts, one is the tactics of positional warfare, and the other is defensive counterattack, mainly practicing defense, let's come down these two days, Liu Xiujue Well, if basketball fans who don't know who they are, see them working out, maybe they think they're the Spurs or the Pistons...

In terms of personal training, on the afternoon of the 25th and the morning of the 26th, he asked Peyton to polish some details of the training of the high back. No matter how fine it is, when you actually practice and use it, you will still find that there are not enough good points, so learn the big training framework well, keep in mind the important details, and continue to adjust later, you can be better and more efficient. Develop new technologies.

   Soon, the time came to October 27th, the last game day of the preseason. There are 9 games to be played today, and the game between the Blazers and the Grizzlies is one of them.

   At 7:15 p.m., Liu Xiu entered the court with his teammates, and his eyes were on the opposite players.

The Grizzlies, Liu Xiu felt miserable when he saw them. The logo man probably wanted to challenge the difficulty. He rejected the invitations of many teams at first, and chose such an underdog in such a small market. It took a few minutes. In the past few years, it has gathered a great core center and a very good lineup of role players, but it has not attracted stars to join.

After three offseasons, Gasol’s maximum-salary contract has been implemented, and the salary of the role players signed over the years has reached the highest one or two years in the contract. The salary exceeds the salary cap and even has to pay the luxury tax. There is room for aid, and the current Grizzlies is a 50-win team.

In this case, the logo man seems to have chosen to give up and made a deal that made the Grizzlies fans fry—using white chocolate Williams and James Posey, in exchange for a 34-year-old who was only in avalanche last season. Eddie Jones, who averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, has an annual salary of more than $14 million.

  Bill Walton's evaluation of the logo man's operation - using the Grizzlies' assets to maintain and expand his contacts and prepare for his next job.

But the collection of logo male role players has really done well over the years. Even if they lose two main players, the Grizzlies still have Bobby Jackson, Eddie Jones, Shane, Lorenzen White, and Gasol. The starting combination, the backup lineup includes Chakalidis, Victor Kayappa, Woshan Leonard, Dengtai Jones and others, as well as Liu Xiu's younger brother Hakim Warrick in college,

This little guy may not have any talent, but he has a very good combat power and has a very good offensive rebounding hand. He averaged 17 minutes per game in the first 6 games of the preseason, and he has two offensive rebounds per game. There are also flaws. The **** is not high, and after 10 minutes of playing, he may grab two offensive rebounds, but after the opponent is defensive, he may not have a single offensive rebound in the next 10 minutes.

   At 7:30 p.m., the Blazers vs. Grizzlies kicked off.

  From the very beginning, the two teams fought with iron and blood!

This is the same as what the Blazers expected when preparing for the game. Although there are not many Grizzlies game videos, there are not many references. In the preseason, there are major adjustments in each game, but the data can still be very clear. , which determined the direction of the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive performance - without the white chocolate, the offense was extremely poor, and the scoring average in the preseason was the lowest in the league, averaging 86.5 points per game, lower than the Timberwolves who averaged 89 points per game; but the Grizzlies averaged 86.5 points per game. The team allowed only 84.5 points per game, the lowest in the league!

   In fact, you can see from the lineup that the Grizzlies can only play defense in the new season, otherwise they will be finished.

  Although the Grizzlies also inferred that the Blazers would play defense based on the changes in the Blazers' preseason data, Grizzlies coach Floyd was very surprised by this development direction.

  The Trail Blazers, who averaged second in the league in scoring last season and also introduced Ray Allen, actually played defense against the trend in the new season...

In the first quarter, the two teams scored 22-19, and the Trail Blazers took a 3-point lead. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers made persistent efforts to score 20-19 and widened the difference at halftime. 4 points.

Although the Grizzlies scored 23-20 in the third quarter, chasing the score to 61-62 and trailing by only 1 point, in the final quarter, Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to play a fierce counterattack and open up the The Warriors scored 27 points in a single quarter while limiting the Grizzlies to 21 points.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 19 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, Ray Allen's 18 points, and Raheem scored 15 points off the bench, the Trail Blazers defeated the Grizzlies 89-82, 6 consecutive preseason games. Win the finale!
