Healing Basketball

Chapter 337. 337. Meeting of the Point Guard Team
After the final whistle sounded, the Zonda, who had been playing desperately throughout the game, hugged and celebrated with his teammates, and was going to find the warden to show off his victory. Last season, he played against the warden many times, and each time he was the warden. Win, every time it is the warden who is showing off his power, this time it is finally his turn... but he heard the voices of the fans cheering and encouraging the warden!

Nash: Is the treatment so good?Losing can actually get the encouragement of the fans!Why wasn't I treated like this back then?

For a team that has experienced darkness, ushered in light, and is on the rise, their fans are always full of tolerance.

This is the case for Trail Blazers fans. They can see that the players are actively adapting and adjusting hard on the court, and they also played a little advantage in the second half, scoring 63 to 58 at halftime.

Flying Squirrel played life-threatening assaults and singles, and scored 14 points and 4 assists. Rahim took on the task of scoring in the middle and short distances and scored 16 points.

Kwame Brown's defensive performance of 7 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks is remarkable.

Liu Xiu's active running support, plus the necessary singles, scored 41 points.

Randolph's singles play has an advantage in any inside line, so the Suns are more strictly defended. Shrinking and restricting the opponent's inside star attack frame is one of the few advantages of the Suns' defensive end. Randolph did not mess around, and took the initiative to take the initiative to initiate the offensive. The player, actively grabbing rebounds and passing the ball, scored 15 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game, got 1/4 of the assists of the Trail Blazers, and was the one with the most assists of the Trail Blazers tonight...

It's a pity that the Trail Blazers trailed by 12 points in the first three quarters. They persisted until the opportunity appeared and seized it in the second half, but they still failed to complete the comeback.

Although they lost in the end, the Trail Blazers fans saw the team's progress in a game!The fans chose to cheer for the players!The main object of their cheering and shouting of names is naturally their warden.

Moreover, in the eyes of Trail Blazers fans, the opening 11 wins and 4 losses is very good! In the 99-00 season, they won 59 wins and started with 11 wins and 4 losses.

Feeling the tolerance and encouragement of the fans, the Trail Blazers players were encouraged. The frustration after the loss dissipated a lot, but the sense of guilt also emerged and turned into motivation!

……

Liu Xiu is naturally one of the Trail Blazers players inspired by the fans.

On December 12st, the new month came, Liu Xiu woke up at 1 o'clock, had breakfast, and sent her sister to school, and then went to the Rose Garden Arena.

The original appointment with Payton was this afternoon, but after the game last night, I changed my mind temporarily and made a new appointment with Payton. It is not that the time for learning to wear gloves is advanced. He has no physical problems, but Payton The veteran can't stand such a toss, the teaching time is still in the afternoon, anyway, it is rest time from today to the day after tomorrow, and the next game is on the 4th, so there is enough time no matter what.

The purpose of making an appointment with Payton this morning was to discuss the problems encountered recently. There were three other teammates who accepted the appointment. When Liu Xiu arrived, Payton, Flying Squirrel, Lynch Hunter, and Derek Anderson had all arrived. , the teammates complained habitually that Liu Xiu was the last one to arrive again, but they just complained, the appointment was at 9 o'clock, and Liu Xiu arrived at 8:58.

After a brief greeting, Liu Xiu and 4 teammates quickly entered the meeting mode. The 5 players participating in the meeting were all the main players. The topic of the meeting was to discuss the loss to the Suns last night. Loss, the problem of the game environment of the first 1 wins and 3 loss stage and the recent 10 win and 1 losses, the team coordination problem of each of them in the master control stage...etc.

The first time the big girl got on the sedan chair, the members at the meeting felt fresh, and they were all motivated. They didn't go fooling around last night. They spent their time in the nightclub reviewing the game and analyzing it, and they also had a competitive mentality. Wanting to speak better than others in a meeting, preparing extra hard, the competitive spirit of a man...

Regarding the matter of 1 win and 3 losses, all 5 people felt that their team was not very lucky. First, they played back-to-back away games in the icy and snowy Northeast, and also met the team with the strongest overall performance so far in the regular season. Their schedule, Changing any team will not be good. Everyone has confidence in the strength of their own team. The record of 10 wins and 1 loss at the beginning is not something that can be won casually.

But even the conceited Little Momonga wrote such a sentence in his notebook - we are not that strong.

Little Momonga didn't say this, but veterans Payton and Lynch Hunter said it bluntly, and everyone recognized it. Facts have proved that their strength is not strong enough to cope with the past wave of 6 days and 4 battles. The level of brutality.

In fact, after the season gradually deepened and the teams became more and more adaptable to the new rules, several main players on the field have already felt this matter, and the pressure to lead the team is also increasing, but We have been winning before, and everyone didn't think about it.

Now that they have suffered 1 win and 3 losses, everyone must accept this fact, and must think about this matter. They are the core of the team's possession of the ball.

It can be regarded as self-consolation, focus on the positive aspects brought about by 1 win and 3 losses-everyone wakes up from the dream start of 10 wins and 1 loss, and faces up to their own strength, it is better than still indulging in the league with 6 consecutive wins The first good feeling comes strong.

They realize that they are a strong team, but there is a gap with the league's No. [-] team, and they confidently believe that their team has great development potential.

On this basis, Liu Xiu and the four main control teammates expressed their views on the subsequent adjustment of play style.

Little Flying Squirrel feels that when he is in control, his autonomy in shooting should be improved, and he should be equipped with support players and wing shooters. When Liu Xiu partners with him, he should be more prepared to take over the pot... Three teammates They all nodded their heads to show their approval. Liu Xiu said that the little flying mouse was jealous of Jason Terry's treatment, but the little flying mouse denied it, and clamored that he would beat Terry up next time, and provided the warden with a few rounds of healing points by the way.

Payton feels that he needs to pay more attention to defensive counterattacks, which is not friendly to him. He is now a veteran of positional warfare, but now he has requirements for playing time, but he doesn't care about statistics; Lynch- Hunter's views are basically the same as Payton's. He feels that defense is still the key point, but the favorable conditions for offense must be used well, and he doesn't care about statistics.

Derek Anderson analyzed the team's lineup structure and overall technical strengths and weaknesses. The reference objects are the Nets, Celtics, and Suns. Better to adapt to the sudden change of the game environment after one summer, and finally laughed at himself that he should be the one who should be traded away... Warden warmly comforted: "Don't worry, you still have a two-year contract of 1883 million. Difficult to trade out."

The four teammates prepared well for the meeting. They hadn't had such a meeting where they needed to find their own arguments. They did a good job, but compared with the warden, they were still a lot worse.

The warden once again surprised his teammates. When veterans like Payton and Lynch Hunter are still at the level of 'direction', Liu Xiu has already begun to analyze the specific details of the adjustment of their five main players. Yes, as well as the analysis of tactical play, and some offensive concepts of the Suns learned in the game against the Suns last night... In the simulated training space last night, he did a good job with a high degree of calmness + a high degree of clear thinking and quick thinking. meeting preparation.

When the four teammates listened to Liu Xiu's speech, they felt that they could go directly to the coaching staff meeting!

Who doesn't want to play better? The four teammates listened carefully, thought positively, and discussed with Liu Xiu based on their own feelings or experiences.

During this period, the 4 teammates provided the warden with wave after wave of healing value.

It is very admirable, but the emotion of envy and jealousy is inevitable!
We are all human, so why is there such a big gap?
In today's overall discussion, everyone's opinions on the general direction are very consistent. Only in the attitude towards the Suns, Liu Xiu and his teammates have quite different opinions.

The teammates feel that the Suns are nothing to be afraid of in the playoffs. The public opinion is like this. The Trail Blazers lost to the Suns last night, but the mainstream public opinion is still that the Suns will not be able to play in the playoffs. The reason is that the Suns did not defend. .

But Liu Xiu is sure that even in the playoffs, defeating the Suns is not something that can be easily achieved by improving the confrontation and strengthening the defensive effect.

He is not very clear about the specific details, and he is not a fan of the Suns, but he remembers that in 2010, the Suns made it to the Western Conference Finals, but it was a pity that they fell at the feet of Kobe, whose performance in the Western Conference Finals made people feel question marks. In that series, Kobe shot 52% from the field and averaged 33 points per game, plus 7 rebounds and 8 assists. In that Western Conference Finals, Kobe was evaluated as a series that avenged the revenge of being hammered by the Suns in the first round of 06 and 07. Well, after the Western Conference Finals that year, the Suns were directly disbanded, and the stars were scattered, leaving only Nash and Grant Hill.

But in the 6 seasons since this season, the Suns have reached the Western Conference Finals 3 times!Therefore, Liu Xiu regards the Suns as one of the main competitors in the playoffs for several years to come!

Opinions on a single team are not the most important thing at the moment, and it doesn't matter if they disagree. It's just a small detail in the discussion.

……

For Liu Xiu and the four main control teammates, this meeting is a new and unique way. The time passed quickly in the morning and the meeting was over. Everyone is just players, and the content of the meeting needs to be improved.

"Let's go to Grandma Yuka's house for lunch! Her store has a batch of fresh seafood this morning, and I'm treating you!" Little Flying Squirrel initiated the invitation.

As a native of Portland, Flying Squirrel knows a lot of family restaurants with delicious and fresh ingredients. Although no one knows who Grandma Yuka is, they all agree.

"We still have something to do before we go." Payton stopped the teammates who said they were leaving.

Liu Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"

Little Flying Squirrel also remembered, and quickly replied: "Today, December 12st, the best player of the month award will be announced! You are the number one favorite for the best player of the month."

"We lost to the Suns head-on yesterday, so we probably have no chance." Liu Xiu regretted and felt pained. This is a mission!But there is no way, if you lose, you lose. I did my best last night.

"How could there be no chance? We only lost by 6 points last night, and it wasn't a disastrous defeat. You have scored 3+ in three consecutive games, and you are the number one scorer..."

When Little Flying Squirrel refuted Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu's system prompt came just in time!

"Congratulations to the host for winning the Best Player of the Month Award in November 2004, reward: 11 healing points.

Mission: The Wind Rises Rose City has been completed.

Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: By analogy (Steve Nash exclusive). "
