MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1029 opener

  Although they know that the media is deliberately hyping, leading the topic, and creating confrontation, the players still feel uncomfortable.

  James is more eager to beat Kobe and win the title of "the best player in the United States".

   The two No. 21s of the Bulls and Spurs are even more displeased with each other.

Kobe Bryant’s style of painting is a bit more strange. He also cares about the fact that ESPN ranks him No. 8, but he cares more about the guy who ranks first in the three lists. He clearly expressed his opinion in an interview. care.

  Some Chinese fans suggested that Dashen go to remake the MV of "Drift" with Jay Chou.

   There's a line in it—I'm not interested in anything other than the first one.

   On October 30, 2008, the first game day of the NBA08-09 season arrived.

   At 7:00 in the morning, Liu Xiu woke up and received a system notification.

  The player detection report of the system has started to be updated!

  "Ray Allen, 33 years old, 196 cm, 93 kg, SG, ability evaluation 88, offense 89, defense 86... three-pointer 98...

  Zach Randolph, 27 years old, 206 cm, 120 kg, PF, ability evaluation 92 (peak)...

  Kwame Brown, 26 years old, 211 cm, 120 kg, C/PF, ability rating 85, offense 76, defense 94, passing 70, rebounding 86, three-pointers, 73 mid-range shots, 88 layups..."

  Liu Xiu first read the reports of the three star teammates.

  The three-point king is getting old...

   There is also the factor that after the role positioning changes, the ability becomes more and more functional.

  However, the overall rating and overall offensive rating have dropped, but the three-point rating has reached the highest Liu Xiu has ever seen. The three-point rating of 98 is really scary.

   Butcher has reached the peak of his career, and this is the first time Liu Xiu has seen him peak at the beginning of the new season.

  Parallel champions did not grow as fast as farmers and beasts. He missed the foundation stage in the first three years of his career. Apart from getting stronger and stronger on the defensive end and reaching the top limit, he has made slow progress in other aspects.

   But somehow there is progress!

  Able to shoot and pass, it is easy to butter with a hand that is about the size of a certain size 24 when eating cakes, and the others are getting better and better.

  "Chris Anderson, 30 years old, 208 cm, 111 kg, PF/C, ability rating 69, offense-, defense 81...

  Grant Hill, 36 years old, 203 cm, 102 kg, SF/PF, ability rating 83, offense 80, defense 85...

  Travis Outlaw, 24 years old, 206 cm, 101 kg, SF/PF, ability rating 82, offense 77, defense 89…

  Paul Millsap, 23 years old, 203 cm, 109 kg, PF, ability evaluation 75, offense 74, defense 77...

  Mark Gasol, 23 years old, 215 cm, 133 kg, C, ability evaluation 77, offense 76, defense 79...

  Nicolas Batum, 20 years old, 203 cm, 91 kg, SF, ability rating 66…

  Keller Korver, 27 years old, 201 cm, 96 kg, SF/SG, ability rating 71…”

  “Steve Blake, 28 years old, 191 cm, 83 kg, PG/SG, ability rating 76…

  Goran Dragic, 22 years old, 191 cm, 86 kg, PG, ability evaluation 68…

  Michael Pietrus, 26 years old, 198 cm, 99 kg, SG/SF, ability rating 73…

  Steve Novak, 25 years old, 208 cm, 102 kg, SF, ability rating 61…”

   Liu Xiu also read the reports of other teammates in detail. Regardless of the frontcourt or the backcourt, they all have multiple types of players.

  If Reed is not traded away, there will be more features.

   But to build a stable team, there will definitely be fewer and fewer "multiple characteristics". It is necessary to remove unsuitable players and add suitable players to ensure strength when players suffer from injuries and unstable states.

  Ray Allen, Korver, and Novak are like this, core, substitute, and alternate.

  Small ball tactics, the three-person running position to meet the pitcher must be guaranteed.

  However, from the player detection report, it is also obvious how teammates are affected in the system.

  Millsap, who is not quick enough, has declined defensively. Blake has declined both offensively and defensively. The improvement of extrajudicial lunatics is quite obvious. If this trend continues, it is not impossible to become a first-class star at the peak...

  But everything about the new season is still unknown, which makes him both worried and looking forward to it.

  But compared to teammates, the most important thing is yourself!

  "Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

  Age: 26 years old (February 17, 1982)

  Net height: 188 cm, wingspan 203 cm, weight: 94 kg.

  Team: Portland Trail Blazers.

  Ability evaluation: 96.

  Athletic ability: speed 96 (explosive acceleration 89), strength 95 (explosive force 87), bounce 95 (bounce speed 90), flexibility 95, stamina 93.

  Basic skills: 91 three-pointers, 93 mid-range shots, 96 layups (upper limit), 94 ball control, 91 passes, 91 turns, 84 strides, 91 turns, 94 emergency stops, 91 throws, 86 withdrawals...

Skills: 93 low post shots, 89 high post shots, 94 shots after dribbling, 90 accelerated layups on the move, 84 European steps, 89 fadeaway jump shots, 93 rhythm flow breakthroughs, 86 front-body change breakthroughs, and 93 emergency stop jump shots , 89 in emergency stop catch and shoot, 84 in step-back shooting, 89 in post-up singles application skills, 91 in pick-and-roll with the ball, 86 in pick-and-roll technique…”

  After the "Kobe Training Camp" ended, his ability evaluation has reached 96, and now he estimates that he is not far from 97.

  After the basic skills are in place, the technology developed around the basic skills is also progressing very fast.

  Now, the two items of step-European step, step-withdraw-step-withdraw and shooting are "holding back".

  Compared to other improvements, what he is most happy about now is that his passing has finally improved significantly. With the training methods provided by 'Zono of the Wind' and the adjustments made by the mustache, his previously inaccurate passing habits are improving little by little!

  Recently, he discovered one of his previous misconceptions—the best progress period is from 19 to 25 years old.

  That statement is true, but he thinks it is more accurate to say that 19 to 25 years old is the best time to lay the foundation.

  After the age of 25, the physical growth is over, the foundation has reached a sufficient level, and the golden period of career is entered, and the strength may be qualitatively fat after a period of time.

   Now he can feel the benefits of the solid foundation laid over the past 5 years!

  …

   At 6:30 in the evening, Detroit, Palace of Auburn Hills, arena, Yao Ming put on the championship ring.

  Los Angeles, Staples Center, visiting team lounge, Liu Xiu saw this scene, turned off the TV, returned to the gym, and started warming up before the game.

  I am happy for Brother Dayao, but he is still not used to the away game in the opening game, and he is not used to wearing the ring in the opening game.

  He intentionally conveyed this emotion to his teammates, so that the teammates can also have a stronger desire to win the championship and increase their motivation.

  Especially those old teammates, he wasn't worried about their competitive spirit.

  But the old teammates always have the kind of domineering that "I am the second in the world, and the first is the sky".

  It is good to be domineering and confident, but it is not a good thing to still regard yourself as the teacher of the original dynasty.

  In competitive sports, past victories never represent the future.

   At 8:40 in the evening, Liu Xiu and his teammates entered the stadium, and they were greeted by crazy boos from noble fans who were not noble at all.

   After all the Blazers players ran out, the lighting engineer deliberately put the spotlight on Liu Xiu.

  Liu Xiu raised her hand behind her ear and smiled as if listening, which drew more furious boos.

  After the lights on their side dimmed, Hill came to Liu Xiu and joked: "No wonder the fans here hate you so much. This is Angel City. You made the angels angry again."

  America’s…Angel?

   Does it mean the "little fairy" in China in the future?

  (-_-)

   Speechless for a second, Liu Xiu showed a wicked expression—"No matter how many times I listen to it, the fear in the boos of the Lakers fans is so fascinating."

   Hill: "…"

  Although he didn't know that what he just said hit a special point of the warden, but the warden's brain twitches every day. He has been in the prison team for more than a year, and he is used to it.

  After the Lakers players came out, Liu Xiu took the initiative to greet Kobe.

  Kobe turned around and walked towards Hill, but was stopped by Liu Xiu.

  Not saying hello and ignoring the other party's greeting are two different things.

  Now, the great **** who cares more and more about the image in front of the camera is forced to open, smiling, ready to say hello...

"NO.8, hello... Brother Big Zhi, did you bring your double gold medal to the United States? Mine is in Portland, my sister keeps it, and forgot to bring it to Los Angeles. Bean has never seen the gold medal, I think Show him."

  Great God refuses to open!

  Turn around and walk back to the bench without looking back.

  Wang Zhizhi: "..."

   Come, come, the familiar feeling is coming.

   I still feel better when I am teammates with the warden, and when I am an opponent... I really want to hit someone!

  …

   "The Great Mage: Game Status.

   Duplicate objects:

  Teammate: Ray Allen, characteristic conversion talent: quick shot (full blood)...

   Opponent: Kobe Bryant, characteristic conversion talent: physical stamina...; additional characteristic conversion talent: reasonable..."

   "Talent: Sharpshooter is temporarily activated..."

   "Buff: Splash, binding object: Ray Allen, when Ray Allen hits a three-pointer, the host has a 50% chance to feel hot in the next round of attack."

"new start:

  Goal: The host needs to lead the team to win the opening game of each season. After losing an opening game, the mission ends.

  Reward: During the continuation of the mission, every time the opening game is won, random attribute +1 will be rewarded (if the random attribute has reached the top level, it will be converted into an attribute card, and the opening game has been won for 5 consecutive seasons). "

   After applying the chalk, duplicating the talents, and adjusting the equipment, Liu Xiu came to the field.

  He feels that a camera is taking a close-up of him, and the equipment he wears tonight is 'Answer's Bracers', 'Peter Pan's Leggings', and 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Pads'.

  Single defense on the outside line, strengthening steals is more useful than strengthening blocks.

  He now has the top level of bullet speed of 90, and Xiaobawang's knee pads can be used less.

  The leggings have changed to a black and red color scheme along with the away jersey. The style and length are pretty good-looking, and he is very satisfied with it.

The two teams came to the field as starters, Trail Blazers: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown; Lakers: Deron, Kobe, Ariza, David West, Wang Zhizhi .

  In the first game of the new season, the excitement of the players of the two teams was beyond words.

As the runner-up of last season, the Lakers lineup has not changed much. In the offseason, apart from the introduction of Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown from the Bobcats, and the acquisition of marginal players such as Josh Powell and DJ Mbenga from the Mavericks, There is nothing else to do.

  Maintain the strong lineup of last season, repair the marginal lineup, the Lakers are ready to become bigger and stronger!

  The Trail Blazers players are full of expectations...and worries about the new tactical system.

  But stepping on the court, just like going to the poker table, the Trail Blazers players are quite confident now.

  At 8pm, the game begins!

   Kwame Brown beat Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and immediately hit the fast break after landing!

  Kwame Brown, who has lost weight to 120 kilograms and is more than a dozen pounds lighter than last season, also has lighter steps than last season.

Kwame Brown's sprinting speed like a small forward pushed the Lakers' defense inside. Liu Xiu advanced the ball and Hill, who entered the three-point line behind Kwame Brown, received the ball and rushed forward a few steps , The center is attracted to the defensive back and the ball is distributed to the flanks.

  Ray Allen received the ball and made a three-point shot before Ariza made it up... The jump and shot feel very good!

  After landing, Ray Allen didn't look at the ball that started to fall, and turned around to retreat.

  This three-pointer...hit!

  Liu Xiu has just received a system prompt. He initiated a fast break, and his teammates completed the shot before the attack time was 7 seconds. 20% of the hands feel hot, just triggered!

  Ray Allen's three-point shooting ability is unprecedented, and the nuances of touch can definitely be felt.

   I just didn't expect the three-point king to start making a fuss!

  When Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, Liu Xiu received another Buff trigger prompt...

  The fans at the scene didn't react at first, but soon began to boo Ray Allen.

  Kobe was very surprised that Ray Allen would actually do such an operation... Really follow the good people to learn from the good people, and those who are close to ink are black.

   But he was even more surprised-the Trail Blazers really ran away?

  The Blazers’ opening fast break just now was a standard run-and-gun fast break, not the traditional fast break played by Liu Xiu in previous years.

  But soon, Kobe's guess before the game was confirmed.

  Deron and David West launched a pick-and-roll attack, Kobe's running position, Wang Zhizhi's support around the top arc, Ariza's cut...the teamwork failed to create a good shooting opportunity!

  The Trail Blazers' fast rotation conversion is effective!

  Hill followed Kobe closely, Randolph blocked the cutting Ariza, and Ray Allen circled the forward defense Wang Zhizhi to catch the ball.

  The most aggrieved is David West. He wants to catch the ball, but Liu Xiu is stuck in his position. He has no strength at all! Last season, I could still rely on weight to make a fuss, but this season the gap in strength seems to be even bigger!

  Deron dared not pass to David West for fear of being intercepted by Liu Xiu, but when he rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, he was closely followed by Kwame Brown, who switched defenses. Fortunately, he hadn't lost the ball yet.

  The best candidate to take the pot, the boss, is fighting with Hill. Deron quickly made a decision, he will do it himself!

   Deron withdrew a few steps, mobilized Kwame Brown's footsteps, and changed direction to break through!

  But Kwame Brown is very good at defending big and small, and he followed closely. When Deron made a short-range stride throw, Kwame Brown effectively interfered.

   Deron's ball iron!

  Liu Xiu stuck David West, Randolph protected the defensive rebound!

  The Lakers retreated quickly, Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced quickly, but did not force a fast break.

  If you have the condition of "fighting for 7 seconds", you will force it, if you don't, you will fall into positional warfare.

  Liu Xiu played very calmly, making the Zen master on the opposite side nod his head.

   But Zen master was still more surprised by the defense of the Trail Blazers just now, what a powerful switch defense!

  Use the two strengths of Liu Xiu's small defense on the outside and Kwame Brown's short-range defense very well.

Liu Xiu around the top arc, Kwame Brown at close range, and Hill on the flank launched a high-speed defense switch, with both speed and intensity... Zen master restrained the urge to think deeply, and focused on the game. The team's attack.

  Although there are videos of the preseason game for research, he also came to the on-site box to watch the final preseason game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers a few days ago.

But the Trail Blazers are playing a brand new system, both offensive and defensive ends are very different from before, and the tactics of each game in the preseason have changed... Just like the defense just now, it is obviously more mature than when they played against the Clippers a lot of.

  As for the 'inspiration' on the defensive end that just came, he chose to ignore it.

  He's past the age where he loves absorbing new plays and coaching ideas from every great team.

   There will still be impulses, and there will be flashes of inspiration, but he doesn't want to think about it further.

  It takes time to transform 'inspiration' into tactics, and there is also the cost of trial and error.

  He is already the strongest head coach in history with 9 championship rings and the most successful tactical system in history. He doesn't want to spend time and energy on trial and error.

  It is too difficult to polish a better system than the triangle offense, and it is difficult to rebuild the basketball world.

   It is better to devote energy to on-the-spot response.

  On the court, the Trail Blazers have settled down, and the Lakers players are ready.

  Just now, the Blazers’ opening fast break and positional defense are very different from last season. Zen Master is very curious about the changes in the Blazers’ positional offense, and the Lakers players are also very curious.

  Based on the preseason footage of the Trail Blazers, the Lakers also have certain defensive preparations.

Liu Xiu waved at Kwame Brown, and Kwame Brown came out to block Ariza's side. The Lakers players saw this and adjusted their defense, standing in the zone defense position, ready to move according to the position of the Trail Blazers players at any time...then they Seeing Liu Xiu grab the ball and take off directly after using the pick-and-roll, and shoot a three-pointer...

  ‘General’ is triggered, three-point +3 within 1 second after the pick-and-roll, and the three-point evaluation is temporarily increased to 94.

  After Ray Allen hit a three-pointer just now, Liu Xiu triggered the 'splash'!

   Liu Xiu made a three-pointer straight to the basket and made a hollow hit!

   This ball, the Lakers players think it's amazing.

  But I don’t know why I feel so speechless.

  What were they expecting?

   No, just now the Trail Blazers players quickly settled down and moved interspersed... As a result, the warden directly picked and rolled and threw a three-pointer?

   Deron was still hurting when he received the serve and pushed forward.

   On the Zen master's side, the pressure has increased.

  The warden is not obsessed with 'playing tactical coordination', but puts the ball into the basket as the first goal.

  When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Deron chose to play steady and gestured to Wang Zhizhi. The two handed over the ball at the top arc.

  Hill's flank attack came quickly, but Kobe seized the gap, turned over, and hit a fadeaway jumper!

  Offensive and defensive transition, as in the previous round, Liu Xiu advanced without rush, and the rest of the Trail Blazers settled down and interspersed with running positions, trying to create dislocations by moving without the ball, but failed.

   Liu Xiu came to the top arc, Kwame Brown lifted it up, and David West, who expanded to defend the pick-and-roll, expanded further outside, defending Liu Xiu and directly threw a three-pointer.

  Liu Xiuji's pick-and-roll... Halfway around the screen, the ball is passed!

  Hill ran to the left at a 45-degree angle to receive the ball, and Liu Xiu cut in without the ball around the pile.

David West saw Liu Xiu's movement back and forth, but he extended too far and couldn't get back in place. Kobe saw Liu Xiu chose to retreat through the pick-and-roll to catch Kwame Brown, but he couldn't immediately Seeing Liu Xiu throw the ball, when he reacted, he turned his head and saw the picture of Liu Xiu catching the ball in the middle of the three-second zone.

  Liu Xiu caught the ball and jumped towards Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi didn't force himself, and took a step back. Liu Xiu jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket!

  What a beautiful tactical coordination-Kobe suddenly thought of the new offensive system of the Spurs.

   In fact, there is a big difference, but there are similarities in the light and agile feeling!

   It seems that Liu Xiu's advance is slower than last season, but the Trail Blazers only took 11 seconds to complete this offense, which is much less than their average time-consuming per offensive round last season!

  When Kobe Bryant discussed the Spurs system with Liu Xiu during the offseason, the two had the same view—the Spurs are a star tactic wearing a "team offense" vest.

  The Trail Blazers don't even wear vests, do they?
