Healing Basketball

Chapter 1036 1036. I'm really not used to it
In addition, James played a first-level defense on the defensive end, allowing the Cavaliers to play the top three defenses in the league. Only the Bulls and Raptors have higher defensive efficiency than the Cavaliers, and they are only between the two. The team opened up a little gap...

Both offensive and defensive ends have improved qualitatively, and the Cavaliers' record has also risen to the top level. At the beginning of the season, they had a winning percentage of 55 wins.

However, this is still a bit worse than Liu Xiu's memory of the Cavaliers starting the regular season in the 08-09 season.

He figured out the reason right away—in the original time and space, it was obvious that the West was strong and the East was weak. There were only one or two teams in the East that could win 50 wins. James defended together, and the Cavaliers put together the last piece of the defensive puzzle. , then don't cut melons and vegetables.

But now, the Bulls and Magic are in the front, and no one dares to underestimate the defending champion Pistons behind. The Raptors' defense is also beeping, and there are also the Eagles, Knicks and other crap sticks... the East is in dire straits , The Cavaliers can make a 55-win start, which is already very powerful.

Currently, the Magic ranks first in the East, with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the league, second only to the Trail Blazers.

公牛队11胜5负第二、骑士队10胜5负第三、活塞队10胜6负第四、猛龙队10胜7负第五，老鹰队9胜6负第六、尼克斯队9胜7负第七、凯尔特人队9胜8负第八……

In the West, the Trail Blazers are first with 14 wins and 2 losses, and also first in the league.

马刺队12胜4负第二、湖人队11胜5负第三、小牛队10胜5负第四、掘金队10胜6负第五、火箭队10胜7负第六、爵士队9胜7负第七、黄蜂队8胜8负第八。

When Liu Xiu saw the record, he could feel that the Eastern Conference as a whole had become stronger again.

In the top four, except for their Trail Blazers, the second to fourth records are basically the same.

From fifth to eighth, the East already has an advantage. Outside the top ten, the West is beaten by the East.

At present, the kings, who are the last in the Western Conference and the last in the league, have lost 17 games in a row, tying the historical record of losing streak held by the Clippers.

When he watched the news, he also found that this year's data seemed to take off-as of now, there are as many as 31 players averaging more than 20 points per game.

Very rare, almost every team has a player averaging 20 points per game!

But not every team has players who average 20 points per game. For teams like the Spurs who don't talk about martial arts, there are two players who average 20+ points per game.

Since Ginobili didn't play in the first month, Parker took on more shooting tasks. He has averaged 23 points per game since the start, which is higher than Duncan's average of 22 points per game.

刘秀看着他场均29.1分6.8板5.8助攻2.8抢断0.75盖帽的数据，没有一个榜单排在第一……幸好有个51+43+91的180俱乐部聊以慰藉。

...

At noon, Liu Xiu received the news that the team had completed the transaction with the Eagles.

After lunch, he returned to the Rose Garden Arena. He went to the locker room to check. Sure enough, the nameplate of Millsap's wardrobe was gone. The cabinet was open, and there was nothing left in it.

He knew that with Millsap's temper, he would definitely feel ashamed after knowing that he was traded, and would avoid his teammates and leave.

But he didn't deliberately come to block people. Although he was familiar with himself, he would occasionally take the initiative to greet strangers and get cold, but he knew that his face would be hot and his butt was cold, so he didn't have to do it.

Everyone's attitude towards the same thing is naturally different.

And he has other things... The little apprentice called and cried to complain that he was sold out for playing so well!
易建联首月打了14场比赛，场均打25分钟，纯替补，拿到12.5分5.3板0.8助攻1盖帽。

The shooting percentage is a bit poor, 44.5%, but there are 36.6% three-point shooting percentages. This season, he has made 11 three-pointers, and he has made more three-pointers in one month than in the entire season of last season.

Liu Xiu asked about the next family of the third child... Finally, I know where the Eagles' first-round pick for next year will come from.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the transaction was officially announced.

The Eagles made two transactions today. First, they sent Yi Jianlian to the Timberwolves, and exchanged for striker swingman Solomon Jones, former Nets center Jason Collins with two finals experience, and Timberwolves' 2009 first-round pick. picks.

Then, the Eagles exchanged the rights to the 09 first-round pick, the Timberwolves' 2009 first-round pick, and the partially guaranteed contract of the 07 undrafted Mario West to get Paul Millsap from the Trail Blazers. .

It is roughly equivalent to exchanging 1.5 first-round picks with Millsap. Looking at the current non-lotter picks that are not considered important, they are still profitable.

Ten years later, the deal was a lucrative one.

The Eagles are currently on the fringes of the playoffs, which is roughly equivalent to exchanging Yi Jianlian for Millsap. As far as Millsap’s current strength is concerned, there will be no qualitative improvement; With so many situations, it is impossible to rush to the top four in the West.

Then the first round picks of these two teams next year will probably be between the 15th and 22nd picks.

Next year will be a big year for point guards, when these two draft picks can give them a lot of room to operate!
But in this transaction, Liu Xiu didn't sort out one thing - the brain circuit of the prodigal owner of the Eagles, Steven Price.

Didn't the Eagles know that their advertising and sponsorship fees soared last year because of Lianmei?

Or is James' performance this year so good that the Eagles are even more obsessed with 206?
Josh Smith, Sheldon Williams, Linas Kleiza, Randolph Morris, plus the newly arrived Solomon Jones and Millsap, the Eagles have 6 206.

There are so many mysterious operations in the NBA, Liu Xiu is really not that surprised.

...

Randolph was injured, Millsap was traded, and Batum entered the active list.

Liu Xiu knew about this news yesterday.

Blake and Millsap, who were not suitable for the new system, were quickly cleared. Although there is a possibility of regret in the future for this non-procrastinating operation, it saves a lot of trouble for them now.

Before the warm-up began in the evening, the coaching staff assigned Batum a role in front of everyone-to learn how to become a point forward from Diao.

This satisfied Dior, who had a better face.

Batum's position is also a swingman in the third and fourth positions.

The current rules are indeed suitable for blurring the position of the striker, which is very friendly to Dior, Batum, outlaws and others.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Hornets at home.

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Kwame Brown, Gasol Jr.

Hornets starters: Westbrook, James Posey, Radmanovich, Horford, Aldridge.

Kwame Brown and Gasol Jr.'s twin towers made their debut, which surprised the Hornets. The combined weight of these two people weighed 500 catties.

But after the start of the game, Kwame Brown, who has lost weight to 120 kilograms, is better than Horford, who is 208 centimeters opposite, in terms of speed and flexibility. He has a comprehensive, balanced and strong defense, and is very suitable for the power forward position. Paul's rim protection... The Blazers started off a lot better defensively than usual.

If there is any flaw, it is that Gasol took a defensive three seconds at the beginning...

On the offensive end, the Blazers did not start well. They trailed the Hornets by two points 19-21 in the first quarter, but in the second quarter the Blazers gave the Hornets a score of 24-22. The two teams tied at 43.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took a 21-point lead 17 to 4.

The Hornets rushed hard in the final quarter, scoring 26 points in a single quarter.

In this quarter, the Trail Blazers also played well offensively. Liu Xiu made 7 of 5 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 11 points in a single quarter and led the team to 27 points!
最终，靠着刘秀的27分6板10助攻3抢断3盖帽、雷-阿伦的15分、希尔的12分6板2助攻、夸梅-布朗14分13板1助攻1抢断2盖帽……

91 to 86, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Hornets on defense!
...

It was night, after entering the simulated training mode, Liu Xiu analyzed the game against the Hornets.

Without a strong point inside, the rhythm was not smooth at the beginning, and the whole game was messed up. In the end, it relied on deadly defense to win.

He felt that this was normal and that it would take time to get used to it.

Isn't this the time to reflect his value?

On the Hornets side, the best performer in this game was actually Turtle! He got the highest score in the game!

29投12中，其中三分球4中1，加上4中3的罚球，拿到28分9板8助攻2抢断。

When the defensive intensity really picked up, the tortoise rushed desperately, giving the Hornets hope of winning for a while.

But what makes Liu Xiu most envious of the Hornets is the 3D——James Posey.

They pursued it during the offseason, but the Hornets gave the guy a four-year, $4 million contract.

They can only afford the middle class at most.

After sending away Reed, who had an annual salary of 600 million, their salary dropped to 9700 million US dollars, but now it has returned to 1.01 million US dollars...

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with James Posey choosing to go to the Hornets to get a longer contract with a higher annual salary. What they can give but the Hornets can't give is the chance to compete for the championship, but it doesn't mean that winning the championship is more important than winning the championship. Going for big contracts is more expensive.

Playing well, each has its own choice.

There's nothing wrong with playing basketball purely for fun.

On the second day, Liu Xiu left Portland with the team and started a 5-game trip in the East.

The first stop is the imperial capital of the United States, Washington, DC.

This time, I don't have the cigars from the White House, and I can't teach the big boss how to play. I'm really not used to it.

It’s hard to find a black leader. If it wasn’t for the economic crisis, the capitalists would use the topic of anti-racism to divert conflicts. This person will most likely not be able to get on the stage. Every time the economy encounters problems, they will start to engage in political correctness in this regard to divert conflicts. The capitalists have tried and tested.

Liu Xiu thought about it for several years, no matter what, she must teach Lu Xian how to play basketball, right?

The holy gun can't only have the football player skin is not.

After a night of rest, on the 1rd, the Trail Blazers came to the Verizon Center Arena to challenge the Wizards away.

首节19比17、第二节21比20，开拓者队上半场靠着防守取得3分领先优势。

In the third quarter, the two teams scored 26 to 26.

When Gasol was on, he was a good defensive thief, but he still didn't match the playing habits of the starting lineup.

Ray Allen and Hill are still more accustomed to partnering with the striker support point, or they serve as the support point themselves.

When Gasol was supporting, Korver, Pietrus, Birdman, Kwame Brown and others played very comfortably...but it was not a problem with Gasol or the starting outsiders.

According to the analysis of the coaching staff, it is a matter of tacit understanding. Gasol's training tactics are mainly to train with the substitutes.

Liu Xiu's strong adaptability does not mean that Ray Allen and Hill can also be so strong.

Let Diaw play power forward in the third quarter, and it went smoothly.

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers continued to play offense and scored a score of 32 to 29.

刘秀29投13中，其中三分球5中2，加上9中9的罚球，刘秀拿到37分13板4助攻2抢断，率领开拓者队以98比92险胜奇才队，战绩提升至16胜2负！
...

It is a pity that I was not able to play against Arenas again. After being reimbursed last year, Arenas has not yet come back. Judging from the current situation, it is hard to say whether there will be a chance to play against Arenas in the future. It is okay if he does not draw his gun. If not, Arenas' career is basically over.

Peja's performance was quite good, making 6 of 4 three-pointers in this game.

Also, Liu Xiu was impressed by your young age. Your style of play is too Kobe.

After returning to the hotel after the game, Liu Xiu was called to the vice president's room for a meeting.

This game is confirmed. Gasol Jr. has the conditions to serve as the support core in the fast-paced positional battle. If he does not cooperate well with the starting partner, it is mainly a problem of tacit understanding, so the problem will be solved easily.

Just practice more.

On the second day, the Trail Blazers came to the Northeast of the United States-Boston.

The Trail Blazers lost back-to-back road games 78-83 in frigid Boston.

刘秀34投14中，其中三分球12中4，外加10中9的罚球，拿到41分8板3助攻4抢断1盖帽。怒打20铁。

But his shooting percentage was not bad. His teammates made 50 of 15 shots and no one else scored in double figures.

最离谱的是他们上场12人次，每个人都有得分，每个人命中率都低，3中1、4中1、7中2、8中2比比皆是。

On the morning of the 5th, the Trail Blazers left Boston as if fleeing for refuge. For the first time, they felt so happy to come to the "crime capital" Detroit.

It's just that when he arrived at the hotel in Auburn Hills, Liu Xiu was not so happy when he saw a certain No. 11 player who was already waiting in the hotel lobby chatting and laughing with the hotel owner.

Seeing the Blazers come out of the elevator, Yao Ming laughed and walked up to Liu Xiu, saying in English: "Hahahaha, Warden, my best friend, long time no see, when I went to the White House a few days ago , the leader of the United States also mentioned you..."

Liu Xiu looked disgusted, wondering if he should gossip with the assassin and let the assassin take back the right to use his retired jersey?
He guessed that now the Assassin didn't know how much he regretted allowing Yao Ming to wear the retired No. 11 jersey.

Now that Yao Ming is also FMVP, he must retire his jersey. Whose name will he wear then?
