Healing Basketball

Chapter 616 616. Running without the ball is the most expensive! (Seeking a guaranteed monthly pass)

The next day, January 1, was the first day of the Trail Blazers' two rest days. The coaching staff did not arrange training. It was really a day off.

In the morning, Liu Xiu accompanied Anne Hathaway to school. In their spare time, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway talked about work and the team's affairs. Fortunately, Anne Hathaway has become a basketball fan now. I like to chat with Liu Xiu about this.

"Last season we had a 1-game winning streak, and we also had a 10-game winning streak before this season. When the two winning streaks were ended, I was very unwilling. Seeing the way my teammates took off the pressure, I won both times. I want to give them a kick..." Liu Xiu's tone became obviously depressed after chatting.

Anne Hathaway persuaded: "Do you want to beat them again now? Jess, you have won 18 consecutive victories, and the winning streak is over. It is normal for your teammates to feel relaxed. The pressure of continuous winning streak must be It’s big, you’re worried about their slackness, just urge them well.”

Liu Xiu shook her head: "That's not the case."

"Ok?"

"After yesterday's game, I felt relieved of the burden and the pressure. They all went back to the locker room to worry about what they did not do well. They were very motivated. Now I wonder if there is something wrong with me. I am too Relaxed?"

Anne Hathaway couldn't help laughing at Liu Xiu's tangled look, and quickly covered her mouth.

After taking a deep breath and adjusting her expression, Anne Hathaway said: "You scored 52 points last night and lost the game. Of course they will feel annoyed and feel that they are holding you back."

"Well...they are still very competitive."

"Huh? Jess, you actually praised them? Every time I see you talking to your teammates, you hurt them." Anne Hathaway was surprised.

"Uh, bad things must be said in person..."

...

After a day's rest, on the 21st, Liu Xiu arrived at the Rose Garden Arena before 8:5 a.m., and continued to practice with Ray Allen on off-ball running that was interrupted by 4 days and [-] games.

Stevenson didn't come to training this time. It is the time when the players are exhausted physically and mentally. The arena mouse also needs more rest.

It's not that Ray Allen is not tired, but he arrived early not for extra training, but for teaching, so he won't be too tired.

With the foreshadowing of the previous two additional training sessions, this time he entered the formal training. Before the training started, Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

"The great magician:
Learning object: Ray Allen.

Learning objective: Comprehensive movement without the ball.

The theoretical upper limit of the training method: 95.

You can consume 36000 healing points to start the fast learning mode, and learn the training methods quickly. "

When she saw the last sentence, Liu Xiu's eyes widened!

He wasn't stingy either, so he directly chose to start fast learning, and saw that the healing value had dropped by more than half.

It's just that he was quite puzzled. At this unprecedented price, is it so expensive to run without the ball?
But after he started training, he felt that it was worth the price.

What Ray Allen first taught was not the running position itself, but a part of starting without the ball-turning around and catching the ball in the confrontation.

This is the skill that Ray Allen thinks is most suitable for Liu Xiu. In his opinion, Liu Xiu's strength is strong enough, and his bullet speed and bounce are top-notch. Off-ball offense should start from the simplest.

This needs to consider the passing ability of teammates, but if Liu Xiu plays without the ball, either Randolph is the main attacker in singles, or Little Flying Squirrel holds the ball. In these two cases, the teammates do not lack the passing ability, so it is a suitable choice.

And in this confrontation, turning around to catch the ball and shooting the ball requires a high level of control over the details of turning skills, starting, exerting force...etc.

After the 40 minutes of extra practice, Liu Xiudan said to Ray Allen in pain: "It's too difficult. I haven't even finished a single item in the morning. Ray, I really admire you. You really transformed from the ball-handling core. In order to meet the shooting superstar."

Ray Allen had no expression on his face and no emotion when speaking: "Ah? Really..."

"Huh? Ray, what are you doing with your head up?"

"The ceiling is pretty nice, I'll take a second look."

"Oh... I'm going to eat something first, I'm a little hungry, do you want to eat something?"

"No, thank you."

"You are indeed the most disciplined player on our team... No, I think you are the most disciplined player in the entire NBA!"

"Oh...thank you..."

Saying thank you, Ray Allen provided Liu Xiu with a wave of healing value increase.

Although he knew that this guy's talent was ridiculously good, he could learn everything quickly.

But it's fine to attack with the ball. I didn't expect this guy to have such a good offensive talent without the ball!

There is no reason!
...

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu attended the team meeting to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Nuggets.

After the meeting is the preparation training. The training in the morning is over, and today's preparations are also over.

The Nuggets came to Portland in the afternoon. As usual, Anthony came to Liu Xiu's house for dinner and brought a lot of gifts to Liu Xiu's parents.

Off the court, Anthony was in a good mood, proud of his love scene, good investment returns, and gradually becoming famous in the fashion industry... But when he stepped into the court at 6:40 the next evening, the little melon turned into a bitter melon .

The prison team on the opposite side has 34 wins and 6 losses, and their mine bandit team has 23 wins and 17 losses. The gap is not ordinary!
Averaged 30.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.1% from the field, 35.4% from the three-point range, and 87% from the free throw line... Anthony's performance this season is better than last season, but his record is declining day by day. Hovering on the edge of the top eight in the West, a little bit of slack will fall out of the ranks of the playoffs.

The reason... When a rising team reimburses two main players, it is really difficult for them to continue to rise.

Last season, he averaged 12.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Voshan Leonard, who has three points, defense, passing, and excellent stability, is seriously injured. It does not mean that he will be reimbursed, but the earliest time to come back is after the All-Star Weekend up.

Nene was reimbursed after one fight.

The former is the starting shooting guard, and the latter is the team's third insider. From the perspective of the actual role of the court, Nene's role is actually stronger than this year's shot-blocking king Camby. It is not a problem to say that he is the second insider...

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets at home.

The Trail Blazers did not play well in the opening stage. The Nuggets scored 33 points in the first quarter. The offense was also poor at the beginning, but after Ray Allen took more shots later, the situation began to improve. Scored 11 points in the first half and 16 points in the second half.

安东尼首节11投6中拿到13分，率领掘金队打出33比27的开局表现。

However, in the second quarter, Anthony rested for half a quarter + the number of shots and shooting percentage became lower, and the Nuggets' overall offense came down on their own.

Among the three insiders of the Nuggets, Nene is the only one with a little autonomous offensive ability, which has been reimbursed.

Kenyon Martin and Camby both scored by eating pie.

Outside, when Anthony is replaced or needs to rest on the court, only two point guards can score. Andre Miller was restrained by Liu Xiu and couldn't play. The only outside line can share the pressure of singles offense for Anthony tonight. , only backup point guard Boykins.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their offensive performance in the second half of the first quarter, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, while the Nuggets plummeted to 23 points in a single quarter.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers overtook the Nuggets 57 to 56 and entered the intermission by 1 point.

In the third quarter, under George Karl's highly targeted defensive adjustments, the Trail Blazers' performance fluctuated greatly. At one point, they trailed the Nuggets 60-68 and played a wave of 3-12 nightmare performances.

Fortunately, in the middle of the third quarter, Flying Squirrel stood up and relied on the outside singles to drive Liu Xiu's side shot. Flying Squirrel scored 7 points and 3 assists, and Liu Xiu scored 6 points and 2 assists. The two joined hands to lead the team and played in the third quarter. At the end, it helped the Trail Blazers to tie the score to 81-81!
Relying on the Flying Squirrel to lead the team to turn the situation back, the Blazers regained the feeling of the game. In the final quarter, Ray Allen scored 12 points in a single quarter, Flying Squirrel scored 5 points in a single quarter, and Raheem scored 7 points in a single quarter... The Blazers won a single quarter. To 26 points, while limiting the Nuggets to only 23 points in a single quarter!
When Anthony saw Liu Xiu, he went crazy and played extremely hard. He made 31 of 14 shots, including 7 of 2 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 37 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, but he still failed to lead the team to victory.

刘秀16投8中，外加6中5的罚球，拿到21分4板14助攻4抢断；雷-阿伦23投11中，其中三分球11中6，加上5中5的罚球，拿到33分6板2助攻1盖帽；加上兰多夫的10分9板1助攻、小飞鼠的15分、夸梅-布朗的11分11板1助攻5盖帽……开拓者队以107比104险胜掘金队，拿下本赛季第35场胜利！
...

The offense is not good, and the defense is not good. If you want to balance the two, the result is that there is one and the other.

Fortunately, the three-point king and Little Flying Squirrel were strong, and the two scored 48 points together.

Kwame Brown, who was absent for a period of time, came back to adapt to a game and played very well tonight, but the forward defense was not good.

That is to say, my brother's physical strength in society is not at the top level, and it will be further affected in the middle of the season, otherwise this game will have to be explained again.

On the morning of the second day after defeating the Nuggets, Liu Xiu went to the arena early and had a small meeting with the coaches. He made an immature suggestion-"Should we try to play offensive basketball? Put down the defense for now ?”

Maurice Cheeks refused directly: "No!"

Liu Xiu was very surprised. He thought that someone from the vice president, Bu Shuai, and Huo Tuzhong would refuse, or all three of them would refuse. The always bold coach should agree.

But in the end, the coach refused without waiting for others to express their opinions.

Liu Xiu asked: "Why? Our current physical condition is not enough to support us to maintain stability on both offense and defense."

The coach responded: "That's right, but the more this is the case, the more we need to persevere. Once the defensive habit is given up, it will be very difficult to regain it. There are only 11 games before the break of the All-Star weekend. Give up the defensive habit in 11 games, and then we may need 22, 33 games to get it back!"
