Healing Basketball

Chapter 540 540. The Happiness of Men

After Liu Xiu said that he wanted to learn high post play, Payton would think about it whenever he was free during the offseason, and he would think about it, and went to the training ground many times to practice training and adjust the details.

As a result, in two days, people have almost learned...

It must be very happy to be happy, the stronger the warden, the more rings he can wear on his gloves.

But also healed!

The 3-day rest time passed by in a flash, and Liu Xiu lamented that there was not enough time, not enough time for offseason training, and not enough time for preparation during the season.

After a bit of egg pain, he changed his way of thinking about the problem. He always felt that there was not enough time, which meant that there was always room for improvement.

Take it as a good thing!
On October 10, the Trail Blazers ushered in a preseason game against the Timberwolves at home.

They were slaughtered for 50 points in the last match. Although the Timberwolves were still half-dead against other teams, when they played against the Trail Blazers again, they played hard.

They are all old men, who can bear such humiliation?

The Trail Blazers have already felt it. It's hard to say how strong it is. Anyway, the defense in the rotation stage is beeping!
Payton participated in the construction of the team's defensive system, and he was in good harmony with the coach, and made up for the lack of experience of the coach from the perspective of a player.

The defense is fierce, and the counterattack is strong.

The Timberwolves struggled a lot and really wanted to turn around, but the more they struggled, the more excited the Blazers played.

Relying on the defensive counterattack, the Trail Blazers defeated the Timberwolves steadily 95 to 81.

...

Liu Xiu came to the arena at around 8:[-] a.m. on the second day after playing against the Timberwolves.

The training time arranged by the team was two o'clock in the afternoon, but Liu Xiu called to the arena for a meeting.

Liu Xiu sprinted 6 meters into the conference room at the buzzer, and saw that besides the coaching staff, there were also [-] teammates including Payton, Ray Allen, Outlaws, McDyess, Mourning, and Blake. There is a meeting.

The others, Liu Xiu, could understand. When she saw Blake, Liu Xiu asked in surprise, "Steve, are you still on our team? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you were cut."

Rao, with a stable personality like Blake, couldn't handle Liu Xiu's wave of healing, and shouted: "I have been playing against you in the team training game!"

Liu Xiu looked confused: "Really? I forgot, I just remember that we never played together in the game."

Blake's fingernails almost sank into the conference table, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm your substitute, and I didn't have many chances to play together!"

The coaches and teammates feel that Blake is really miserable!

Everyone can see Blake's maturity and stability. In this regard, only Ray Allen and McDyess in the team can compare with him.

So, this new teammate was targeted by the warden!

The warden teases Blake in a variety of ways, and he doesn’t bring the same thing every day, and the mouth of the warden, after getting to know Blake, can always find Blake’s irritable point at once...

Seeing that Blake was going to run away, he was afraid that the coach he was looking for would interrupt his conversation with Liu Xiu, and said, "OK, everyone is here, let's start the meeting, the warden is not late, Kevin, today You pay for the coffee."

Liu Xiu's attention was diverted: "Coach, it's inappropriate for you to gamble with the players?"

The coach responded: "We don't regard you as a player, we treat you as a brother!"

Liu Xiu: "..."

It was rare to see Liu Xiu deflated, everyone laughed, even Ray Allen raised the corners of his mouth.

After a tumultuous moment, the meeting started in a good atmosphere.

The data of last night's game against the Timberwolves was projected on the screen.

刘秀看到了他的数据，打了27分钟，11投6中，外加6中6的罚球，拿到18分7板7助攻4抢断。

Huo Tu analyzed everyone's performance, whether they were present or not.

When analyzing Liu Xiu, Huo Tu said: "The warden has fully absorbed the experience of the previous five games. The warden has also grasped the key points that we emphasized in the past two training days. The choice of the team has a better response to the follow-up of the teammates..."

After analyzing everyone's performance, Huo Tuo said: "Our improvement in defensive counterattack is very obvious, but we can't be blindly confident. Our counterattack was so good last night. It has something to do with the Timberwolves.

We have a great defensive lineup for sure, and we also have good counterattack potential. The Warden and Little Flying Squirrel are both very good at pushing and counterattacking, but our overall counterattack ability needs to be improved. Now it is the Warden and Little Flying Squirrel. In terms of driving the whole team, our goal in terms of defensive counterattack is to be like the Suns, where players who hold the ball and counterattack players can help each other, instead of relying on one or two people to promote the team's counterattack..."

Just after Huo Tuo finished speaking, the coach took over the words: "Yes, our ideal goal is to counterattack like the Suns, but we are not a purely defensive counterattack team, that is just a part of our tactical system, everyone Don't stress too much…”

Then, the coaching staff analyzed the coordination of other lineups and styles of play.

Liu Xiu found that players like them didn't have much to say, and the coaches were all talking.

He came to a very simple conclusion - today the coaching staff called a few of them to a meeting to tell them that the team regards them as the team's "brain" and needs them to be the assistant coaching staff to build the team system that group of people.

After the meeting, the players went back to their respective homes and gathered at two o'clock in the afternoon. When Liu Xiu was about to leave, he was stopped by the vice president and came to the coach's office for a small meeting.

The coach got straight to the point: "Warden, I think you should have noticed that our new system is progressing slowly, is it related to the unreasonable lineup structure?"

Vice President: Is it so direct?Shouldn't we be laying the groundwork?

Liu Xiu nodded: "I know. When I saw our 15-man roster, I guessed that our new season would be affected by the lineup structure. I thought we would have a trade. It’s started, and there hasn’t been any transactions yet, and we’ve exposed problems in this area in the past few days.”

After listening to Liu Xiu's words, the vice president and the coaching staff looked at John Nash, who said helplessly, "This is what the boss wants. Everyone is here when he wants to give out the championship ring."

After hearing this reason, Liu Xiu felt that there was nothing wrong with it!
Lynch Hunter, who has won two championships, played hard-working, although he is 35 years old, he is still very popular in the free market, but because of injuries, he has not yet signed a new team.

George Lynch retired. Although Van Horn just turned 30 two days ago, he won the championship and completely lost his thoughts on professional basketball. He chose to retire and go home to open a golf course.

Derek Anderson, after being pardoned, joined the Lakers with a basic salary and went to enjoy the happiness of a big city.

Liu Xiu heard that the Trail Blazers' original opponent in the opening game was the Nuggets, but in order to let the 15-man championship lineup of last season get the ring together, they asked David Stern to readjust the schedule.

Liu Xiu thinks the credibility is quite high. First of all, this matter is irrelevant, and the winning lineup can receive the championship ring together. Since the NBA has a free market and allows players to transfer freely, it has never happened again.

The vice president ended up talking: "Jess, we came to you today to tell you that there may be changes in our lineup..."

The coach took the lead: "It's not that there is no comparison, it will definitely be, Warden, we hope that if there is a deal, I hope you will not be angry, I know you care about these teammates."

Contrary to what the vice president thought, Liu Xiu responded, "I understand, but I also have teammates I don't want to lose."

The vice president immediately said: "Of course, we will give priority to your opinion and make a decision based on your opinion."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Rose Bay can't be less crowded. Lei came here because he wanted to play with me. I don't want to see him become a bargaining chip."

The vice president was about to respond in one gulp, when the coach said first: "Of course, you, the butcher, and the madman are the stars we cultivated by ourselves, and they are not for sale. We are breaking the previous system now, and the purpose is to let Lei better integrate into the team." , and the next changes are all aimed at this.”

Liu Xiu rolled her eyes: "Morris, you are more like those despicable managers than Kevin."

Coach: "Thank you for the compliment, but I'm still asking those despicable managers to give me a raise..."

...

In this communication with the management, Liu Xiu found that their coaching staff and management are more professional.

Especially for the coach, there is nothing wrong with coaching and management. The cardinal and the fortune teller have already drawn out the promotion route, and Zen Master, Van Gundy and others will follow this route in the future.

After becoming more professional, there will be more leeway when making promises.

However, the human touch of the team is still there, mainly due to the human touch of the boss and the vice president. They awarded championship rings together for the 15-man championship team. After signing Mourning, they did not trade for so long...

This kind of happiness is indeed what men will pursue.

Needless to say, Liu Xiu was even more looking forward to the opening match after learning about the big dog's arrangement.

The time came to the afternoon, at 1:58, Liu Xiu stepped into the training ground, and the system prompted!

"The 2005-2006 season preseason is about to usher in the final battle. The first overall performance evaluation of NBA players this season has been completed, and the player detection report has been updated. The follow-up will be adjusted according to the overall performance of each player over a period of time... ..."

I'm coming!finally come!
Liu Xiu opened the player interface of his own team.

Player detection reports for teammates have been updated!
"Payton is 76, offense is 71, defense is 80...the decline is a bit too much, and it has something to do with role positioning. Last season, he was the starting point guard, the team's assist leader, and the main organization point. Now he needs to compete with Blake for playing time. An advantage only when experience and stability are needed..."
