MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 984 Stone Buddha's Knife

   Chapter 984 984. Stone Buddha's Knife

   The Trail Blazers left Los Angeles, San Antonio, the day after defeating the Lakers.

  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 already reserved a seat, and chatted about the "triple-double plan per game" 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 don't want to brush up the data, absolutely not, but we have the opportunity to play like that. do not miss it."

  The coach and the warden nodded together, 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 throw the 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.

  Bu Shuai 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.

  Bu Shuai is essentially different from defensive coaches such as Mike Brown, Mike Woodson, Larry Brown...etc.

   Those coaches are very paranoid about defense, and if the team can't defend well, they will get angry.

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

  Of course he has a great work ethic, and he does things well when he gets 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 them if he can, and pulling him down if he can’t.

  …

   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-point training, and the fourth major stage of the "Three-Point Talent Breakthrough" training task was completed!

   There are two big stages left, 1/3 of the training task.

   A total of more than 20,000 "effective three-pointers" need to be shot. In fact, in the past month, he has already made more than 20,000 three-pointers in training, but the system judged "effective" to be less than 15,000.

  The same as the original "CIC Talent Breakthrough" training, the first four stages of this three-point training are just 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 turns, three-pointers with the ball, three-pointers with the turnaround after the ball...etc.

  Liu Xiu recalled the time of "CIC Talent Breakthrough"...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, he started serious development only last summer, and the other common basic skills are almost guaranteed to be excellent!

   It is foreseeable that 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 trainings combined with the basic skills he is best at, followed by "three-pointers after the pick-and-roll"... What he is good at should be done as soon as possible, and finally concentrate on stacking three-pointers.

   Today's training is over first, 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, it is difficult for him to have such a perfect shooting opportunity for his current court threat.

  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.

  Currently, the Spurs have played 69 games, with 58 wins and 11 losses. The overall strength shown 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 70+ wins, people will seriously discuss the probability of success.

  Duncan played 42 minutes tonight, made 12 of 20 shots, and made 5 of 8 free throws. He scored 29 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

   Ginobili scored 25 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Parker scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, Scola scored 11 points and 7 rebounds, Finley and Bonner scored 10 points each...

  The Spurs scored 111 points.

   Liu Xiu played 39 minutes tonight and made 11 of 24 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 block... 4 turnovers and 6 fouls.

  The reason why he only played 39 minutes was because he made too many fouls 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 p.m., the game ended. The Trail Blazers lost 99 to 111 to the Spurs. The 7-game winning streak came to an end. 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.) …”

  The 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.

   Averaged 97 points conceded per game, better than the league average. Considering the brisk pace of the Spurs game and the high number of shots taken, the defense was pretty good.

  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 knife!

  God knows when the Demon Knife will soar. The soaring Demon Knife 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.

  Duncan is 37 years old and can still hammer the 27-year-old Howard in the playoffs.

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

  Looking forward to the mediocre performance of Yaodao next time, or... to play more violently than the demon Ginobili!
