Healing Basketball

Chapter 1040 1040. Came to this position again (ask for a wave of monthly tickets at the end of the month! Thank you)

Free throw quasi-lore + block lore, the warden smiled... The close-up of the big screen made the fans boo wildly and unwillingly.

Liu Xiu beat the Raptors with one offense and one defense in the last 17 seconds!
98比97，开拓者队拿下3连胜，战绩提升至19胜3负。

The host led the team to victory in this game, congratulations to the host for receiving a reward: 3000 healing value.

Lord of the Age series of missions: The Legendary Defense Master is about to start. "

Legendary defensive master?

Legend and Master put together words, and Liu Xiu didn't feel that the system's evaluation of Artest's defense was too much.

In the 80s, when the best defensive player first came out, outsiders won awards. At that time, there was a situation-voters generally believed that outside players, especially point guards, were weak groups. How admirable it is to make a great contribution, so even if there are insiders with significantly better defensive performance, voters are more willing to vote for guards at that time.

However, this situation only lasted for a few years. After entering the 90s, people's votes tended to be rational.

From the 90s to the present, more than ten years have passed, and only two outside players have won the best defensive player.

Payton and Artest.

In the past ten years, the best defensive players Liu Xiu has impressed the most are these two.

On the other hand, after the Raptors players were depressed for a while, the 'old man' of the team headed by Milicic cheered up.

This part of the players felt that they played well tonight and almost won!
This is the closest they have been to victory since Kobe and Liu Xiu took turns taking 80+ points, only 17 seconds away.

Delightful!

I almost won this time, and I may win next time!
As for the possibility of Randolph's comeback next time...

In fact, in Milicic's view, if Randolph can play, they may have a greater chance of winning, so they won't encounter the Trail Blazers resorting to the "Pau Gasol pick-and-roll" tactic.

If Randolph can play, now with Diaw's Trail Blazers, Gasol won't be given too much playing time.

Definitely win next time!Definitely next time!
The mentality of the old Raptors players made the newcomer Artest stunned for a while, and the anger of losing was extinguished.

Should I say this is ambition or no ambition?

Also, what's the matter with the inexplicable enthusiasm of the farmers?

...

Liu Xiu scored 40+ triple-doubles!

The last time Liu Xiu scored 37 points + a triple-double, not only did he feel pain, but the fans also felt crazy.

Just one three-pointer away.

This time, I finally got it!

This is his 11th 40+ triple-double, but it still sparked a carnival among fans that night.

This data does not seem to be uncommon for him, but it is still rare in the entire NBA.

In addition to Liu Xiu, only McGrady, James, Kobe, and Carter have 40+ triple-doubles in active service.

Last season, Liu Xiu got 4 40+ triple-doubles. Every time he got such data, the media ran to toss Iverson and asked Iverson when he could get 40+ triple-doubles. together.

Liu Xiu has been playing for almost two months this season, and has 'only' got four triple-doubles in more than 20 games, which makes the fans miss the joy of watching Liu Xiu's triple-doubles every day last season...

After 5 consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers got two days to rest.

On the 11th, I returned to Portland and took a day off. On the 12th, I continued to be busy.

At the preparation meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning, the coach said: "We now have a good news and a bad news...you are not allowed to choose. The good news is that the butcher is coming back. The bad news is that this time with 5 consecutive aways, we have a match with the Pistons. , Wizards, and Raptors all proved one thing, our offensive coordination is almost being figured out by the opponent."

As soon as this remark came out, the players in the conference room expressed their uneasiness.

The vice president hurriedly comforted him: "Everyone, don't panic, the situation is not that serious..."

Liu Xiu quickly replied: "Don't worry too much, most opponents, even if they fully understand our tactics, as long as we play normally, they can't beat us."

Vice President: "..."

I really want to give the warden a piece of shit (╬￣dish￣)=○

But he had to admit that what Liu Xiu said was more effective than what he said.

Therefore, he looked at the coach with resentful eyes.

This guy is so boring, he exaggerates to scare the players when he has nothing to do.

The coach ignored the vice president and continued: "But the defensive teams are becoming more and more threatening to us. Our teamwork has made little progress recently. The butcher was injured. Our adjustment progress was forced to slow down. We can only adjust the rotation. The offense of the lineup, now we have to hurry up, there is not much time until the Christmas game."

As a sign of entering the middle of the season, the Christmas game is a very important time point.

It reminds everyone on the Trail Blazers that there is not much time for them to adjust and polish their tactics.

In the middle of the season, physical and mental fatigue will have a big impact, and it is not suitable to make adjustments at that time.

If you play too badly in the middle of the season, even if you can readjust after the All-Star Weekend, it will inevitably be affected by the performance in the middle of the season, and the direction of adjustment may be wrong... So the remaining time in the early season is very important!
After putting pressure on the players, the coach said: "But fortunately, we have a clear adjustment direction. When the butcher recovers from injury, we can start to adjust immediately. We have also developed a variety of rotations. How to play..."

After the coach finished speaking, the extrajudicial lunatic couldn't help complaining: "The coach is talking more and more like an official. I seem to have heard this tone somewhere... Ah, by the way, it's the training camp of the Dream Seven team. That's how Krzyzewski talks!"

Liu Xiu continued: "Yesterday, when the butcher came to my house to play games, he told me that our coach seems to have accepted Colangelo's invitation to be the coach of the dream team. You feel right."

Seeing Randolph nodding, the extrajudicial lunatic exclaimed: "God, the coach is crazy! You didn't retire and he went to be the coach of the Dream Team? He wants to be nailed to the shame like Brown and Krzyzewski on the pillar?"

The extrajudicial lunatic opened up the chatterbox of his teammates, and everyone discussed that their coach would become the head coach of the dream team.

The coach has a black line - honest people complain the most deadly!
He knew that the outlaw fanatics were telling the truth!
He now also feels that he was obsessed with accepting the invitation.

But now let him choose again, he will still accept it.

This is his confidence in his abilities.

Also, he also wants to win glory for his country. After watching the Olympic finals, he felt that his warden was the strongest ever, but in basketball, he felt that his country should be the strongest!
The players' attention was diverted, and the coach didn't try to break it back. What should be emphasized has already been emphasized. The players will not forget the pressure just because of a few chats. He trusts his players very much.

...

At noon on December 12, the league announced the best awards of last week.

Relying on the performance of 3 consecutive triple-doubles and 3 wins in the past 3 games, Liu Xiu won the best of the week for the second time this season.

He thinks, winning + triple-double is really a good way to win awards.

At 9:22 p.m., Kobe Bryant wants to kill the Trail Blazers...

After two hours and 22 minutes of play, the Trail Blazers lost 112 to 120 to the Clippers.

The Clippers had consecutive upsets, beating the Mavericks the day before yesterday and the Trail Blazers today.

The Lakers played against the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers once each this season, and lost both.

The Trail Blazers made a lot of offensive adjustments in this game, which affected the continuity of the defense. They were hammered by Baron Davis, Love, Reed, Kaman, Camby... and others.

The Clippers just have outdated coaching tactics, overconfident ball-handling core, and the insiders only focus on collecting statistics... The depth of the lineup is good, and the upset really doesn't make people feel surprised.

Few people scolded the Clippers players for their lack of strength, but they all scolded the management for being stupid and blasted the coaching staff for dismissal.

Now that Mike Dunleavy has the identity of general manager and head coach in one, the curses have concentrated.

刘秀这场比赛29投15中，其中三分球5中2，加上8中6的罚球，拿到38分4板9助攻2抢断2盖帽，进攻表现还可以，防守端做得没有数据看起来那么好。

On the 15th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Suns at home.

With Raja Bell and Diaw in exchange for Jason Richardson, the 4-year-old dunk king who averaged 3+ per game in 20 of the past 27 seasons and is currently at his peak, the Suns' current starting lineup looks particularly cool.

Nash, Rudy Fernandez, Jason Richardson, Bully, O'Neal.

The bench lineup also includes Barbosa, Matt Barnes, Dudley, Louis Amundson, Robin Lopez and others.

Anyway, when Liu Xiu saw the Suns lineup, he didn't know what the Suns were thinking about.

This "chaotic stew" general lineup can't fight, run and bomb, and can't fight offensive and defensive battles in positional warfare. Apart from fighting the players' personal abilities, there is no other advantage.

In this way, O'Neal, who is back to health, performed exceptionally well.

O'Neal is the Suns' scoring leader so far, averaging 21.4 points per game, and the bully's scoring average has dropped to 19.5 points per game.

O'Neal not only has better statistics than Xiaobawang, but the most outrageous thing is that his health is also better than Xiaobawang. So far this season, Xiaobawang has been absent for 6 games, and O'Neal has only been absent for 2 games.

Not only better than Bully, but also better than Nash, who missed 3 games this season due to a back injury.

When the Trail Blazers were playing away games, when Liu Xiu had a drink with team doctor Thomas Carter, the latter complained that the Suns had problems with their style of play, which accelerated Nash's aging.

Nash's original style of play has a very high continuity, and the peak period can be maintained for a long time. Now the Suns insist on playing positional warfare and let Nash single-handedly attack, which made Nash's physical condition this year reach the worst since joining the Suns.

At 7:[-] in the evening, the game started.

The Suns played much better than at the beginning of the season, probably because they are used to the lack of tactics, and the players can do what they want without interference from the head coach.

The Trail Blazers continue to adjust. For them, polishing their tactics to be stronger and more perfect is more important than eating a few more victories at this time.

The Trail Blazers led 31 to 28 in the first quarter, and the two teams tied at 26 in the second quarter. In the third quarter, the Suns scored a 38-point difference in a single quarter with 28 to 10, but the Trail Blazers were even more brutal in the final quarter. Retaliated with 39 points in a single quarter and limited the Suns to 27 points to complete the comeback.

刘秀27投14中，其中三分球7中5，加上10中9的罚球，拿到42分5板11助攻4抢断1盖帽！

加上雷-阿伦的22分、兰多夫的16分、希尔的8分2板6助攻、夸梅-布朗10分7板、法外狂徒14分2板2助攻……

The Trail Blazers scored in double figures with 5 players and narrowly beat the Suns 124 to 119!
The Suns singles are really fierce!
奥尼尔23分，小霸王19分，纳什12投6中、其中三分球7中4、外加2中2的罚球拿到18分，每场180俱乐部有点阔怕……

The slam dunk king also scored 15 points, Spanish dunk king Fernandez scored 11 points, and Barbosa from the bench lineup scored 22 points.

On the second day, on the 16th, the Trail Blazers ushered in back-to-back challenges from the Kings at home.

The current record of the Kings is an unprecedented 2 wins and 23 losses. After the 19-game losing streak at the beginning, the current wave of 2 wins and 4 losses looks so beautiful.

Averaged 94.2 points per game, the third lowest in the league.

Average conceded 109.8 points per game, the second highest in the league.

The Trail Blazers are currently in a state of 'it's no big deal to lose the first two games in the league', and the Kings can't seize the opportunity.

The Trail Blazers' offensive performance tonight was surprisingly stable, scoring 28 points, 26 points, 27 points, and 28 points in the four quarters.

Liu Xiu played 31 minutes and made 10 of 7 shots, including 5 of 5 three-pointers. The Kings started to make direct fouls. To 10 free throws, plus the normal 6 free throws, all 16 free throws were made.

35分3板5助攻4抢断2盖帽，刘秀率队以109比77吊打国王队，送给国王队第24场失利。

Back to back, the Trail Blazers took a day off, and on the 18th, the last game of 4 consecutive home games, the home team ushered in a challenge from the Magic.

The Trail Blazers performed poorly in the first three quarters, scoring only 22 points, 23 points, and 23 points. Howard showed super defensive dominance. Under the tandem of Turkoglu and Nelson, the Magic played very well on offense , scored 29 points, 20 points, and 32 points. After three quarters, the Magic led the Trail Blazers by 81 points 68 to 13.

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers finally found an offensive feeling under the team defense of the Magic, and played an outstanding performance of 30 points in a single quarter.

But the Magic also scored 28 points in a single quarter.

When the Trail Blazers matched the lineup tonight, they had a lot of restraint on both ends of the offense and defense, and they didn't defend well from the outside. The Magic made 26 of 16 three-pointers tonight.

Howard's performance of 14 points and 16 rebounds had a huge impact on the Trail Blazers' shields.

尽管刘秀23投12中，其中三分球9中4，外加14中13的罚球拿到41分9板5助攻1抢断2盖帽，还是未能挽回败局。

98 to 109, the Trail Blazers lost at home, and their record dropped to 21 wins and 5 losses.

The Magic team continued their record of not being swept by any team this season.

On the 20th, the Trail Blazers came to the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away.

刘秀22投12中、其中三分球6中2，加上8中7的罚球，拿到33分6板10助攻，率领开拓者队以108比99击败爵士队。

Paul played tonight and played very well. He made 14 of 9 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers and 10 of 7 free throws. He scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

But Boozer and Chandler's twin towers were collectively injured, and Kapono was very strong. Tonight, he scored 12 points on 6 of 18 three-pointers, but only got these 18 points. These 11 three-pointers...

The Jazz are not the only team with many injuries in the Northwest Division. On the 21st, the Trail Blazers came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets back-to-back. Anthony and Kenyon Martin were collectively injured.

艾弗森开启无所畏惧的狂浪模式，28投13中，其中三分球5中1，外加11中11的罚球，拿到38分3板7助攻。

……

On December 12, the annual Christmas party of the Trail Blazers was held at Liu Xiu's house.

People who come, people with sports teams, local politicians, businessmen, celebrities, celebrities...etc.

There is also the family of Yao Ming, the head star of the rival Pistons who will soon play against each other in the Christmas game.

It has become a "tradition" for the Trail Blazers to gather for a meal at this time of year, and everyone in the team looks forward to this day every season.

In fact, there is nothing special today, just get together to drink and chat, play cards and brag, if you lose, you can't draw your gun in a hurry.

In the beginning, Liu Xiu hated this kind of social interaction. After so many years, he will be very happy at this time every year. This is a 'tradition' that their team can only maintain with him.

There were a total of 5 games in the NBA today. With the last game where the Timberwolves defeated the Mavericks 99 to 97 in an away game, the early stage of the regular season officially came to an end.

After seeing off the guests at night and ordering the nanny to call the housekeeping company to do the cleaning, Liu Xiu went back to the bedroom and checked the latest data list on her laptop.

In terms of record, after the previous "waves" in the past few games, their advantage of the Trail Blazers is already very small, only 2 wins ahead of the second-placed Spurs. Compared with the Lakers, they only have two wins Advantage.

目前西部的战绩排名：开拓者队23胜5负第一、马刺队23胜6负第二、湖人队21胜7负、小牛队21胜8负、掘金队19胜10负、火箭队17胜12负、黄蜂队16胜13负、爵士队15胜14负。

东部战绩排名：公牛队21胜7负第一、魔术队21胜8负第二、骑士队20胜8负第三、猛龙队19胜9负第四、活塞队18胜10负第五、老鹰队16胜12负第六、尼克斯队16胜12负第七、凯尔特人队16胜13负第八……

The record ranking allows Liu Xiu to maintain his judgment after the first month of competition.

The top eight records in the Western Conference are very stable. The 9th-ranked Suns and the 10th-ranked Timberwolves need luck to rush up.

The competition in the East is much fiercer.

Looking at the player statistics list, Liu Xiu looked at the scoring list, and unexpectedly came to this position again...

After 28 games, he ranked second in the scoring list with an average of 31.71 points per game, surpassing James, who averaged 31 points per game, and second only to Wade, who averaged 25 points per game in 32.2 games.

In the last 11 games, except for the game against the Knicks because McGrady had no fighting spirit, Liu Xiu felt a lack of interest. In the other 10 games, all scored 30+, including 4 games with 40+, and averaged 11 in 35.9 games. point.

Before Liu Xiu talked to Nash about playing fast break, Nash deduced based on their tactical philosophy of the Trail Blazers. As the system gradually improves, the situation will eventually be reversed!
In the beginning, his teammates took advantage of him. As the biggest threat to the system, his teammates took the opportunity to get more points.

But with the gradual improvement of the system, the threat of the teammates in the system and the increasing attention of the opponents, began to share the pressure and defense for Liu Xiu. , Under close scoring conditions, it is naturally easier to score than teammates.

In the rebounding list, when Garnett had Okur as a teammate and no longer needed him to put in so much energy to protect the boards, Beast began to dominate the rebounding list, averaging 14 rebounds per game, which was higher than the No.2 Camby who averaged 11.9 rebounds per game a lot.

In the assists list, Deron averaged 10.5 rebounds per game and ranked first. Paul's performance fluctuated due to injuries this year, and his average assists per game did not reach double figures.

In the steals list, Liu Xiu ranked first with 2.86 steals per game, beating Paul, who averaged 2.8 steals per game.

In the block list, rookie Oden averaged 3.3 blocks per game, beating Milicic who averaged 3 blocks per game, Kwame Brown who averaged 2.9 blocks per game, and Howard who averaged 2.7 blocks per game.

In addition to these regular lists, there are also triple-double lists, hit rate lists... and other 'peripheral' lists.

One of these 'surrounding' lists caught Liu Xiu's attention.

'180 club list', as many as 4 people this year!
He's currently in the draft with 52 field goal percentage, 43 percent three-point shooting, and 92 percent free-throw shooting.

另外三人，是命中率51+40+90的诺维斯基、52+43+93的纳什、50+41+98的卡尔德隆。

On the Lakers side, a certain No. 24, assisted by Wang, is in a very charming situation, shooting 51% from the field, 39% from the three-point range, and 89% from the free throw.

Can't you make a few ultra-long shots at the buzzer at the end of the quarter that are impossible to make?

Practice more free throws!How did you not learn how to win the championship with O'Neal for a few years, and learn free throws?
