Healing Basketball

Chapter 900

In their first preseason game of the new season, the scrimmage was like a backcourt double shot between Marbury and Jamal Crawford.

When it was discovered that there was an atmosphere of high internal competition, the coaching staff considered whether to suppress this atmosphere, just because they were worried about this situation.

There is no problem with healthy competition. During the 03-04 and 04-05 seasons, there was constant competition within the team, but at that time it was a healthy competition. In the end, it only took them two years to reach the top of the league.

Now the competition between Blake and Louis Williams is obviously not a benign competition, it has formed a vicious circle.

The coaching style of the coach has not changed, but the team is no longer the team of a few years ago, they are a dynasty team, and the old players who won the championship together have a more lively mind.

In the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks let the mouse and Vaughan Weaver play together.

These two brothers both love to juggle, pass and control bells and whistles, and shoot. The little flying squirrel is fine if there is no resistance and no interference.

Vaughan Weaver is purely incompetent.

The two played for seven or eight minutes in a daze. Maurice Cheeks did not make any substitutions. With more than 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen were replaced.

Liu Xiu and Ray Allen's super backcourt played back and forth with Roy and Luol Deng, and the scene was pretty good.

In the actual scoring performance, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen had a slight advantage, but they were 18 points behind and failed to recover the point difference.

At halftime, after returning to the locker room, Blake took the initiative to find the coach to admit his mistake.

Liu Xiu was originally lying on the massage table in the locker room, but when she heard this, she got up and went to the lounge next door to sit for a while.

Seeing no one around, the coach said to Blake: "As the core point guard of the second team, when you play, it is not a mistake to control the ball. Even if you play with the warden, if it is a tactical need, you It's not a mistake to control the ball. People like him will understand you.

But what you did just now was not controlling the ball, not thinking about sorting out the offense, but just fighting, you are the captain, you should tell the kid how to play, if he doesn't play well, you call a timeout, we can see you Why is it called a timeout, you shouldn't be messing around like him. "

After the coach finished speaking, he went to the smoking room next door to smoke. This year is really worrying!

Blake was stunned for a moment, he came to apologize, originally because he felt that he needed to apologize, so as to gain the support of the coaching staff.

He was ready to be scolded by the coach, but he didn't expect to be scolded because of this.

...

In the third quarter, Maurice Cheeks did not send Blake and Louis Williams together to verify anything, and just rotated normally. Blake and Ray Allen partnered to start, and replaced the flying mouse and Louis in the middle -Williams.

Little Flying Squirrel has set a good example for Blake. Even if Flying Squirrel is not as good as the high school students who have made great progress this summer in singles, Louis Williams still has to give him the ball when he beckons.

At the end of the third quarter, Blake and Lou Williams were replaced together. Instead of fighting for the fight, Blake reprimanded Lou Williams with words, telling the latter to follow the tactics well. When he played with Randolph and McDyess on the court together, he should pull the ball to Randolph and just go to the sidelines.

Under such circumstances, a well-founded toughness is more deterrent to a player like Louis Williams who has entered the NBA directly after graduating from high school and has a "cared-for" mentality than insisting on fighting.

Blake isn't the 'icon' talent that Momonga once was, and that's how he leads his team.

He also understood that he didn't need to compete like a rookie to win the favor of the coach. He could become the master of the second team and one of the tactical cores. This was obtained after the coach's approval.

On Liu Xiu's side, she was still worrying about how to solve Blake's problem, but the coach settled it in a few words.

No wonder the internal situation of the first-generation prison team was so chaotic. They were able to suppress internal conflicts on the court.

This is called professionalism!

...

第一场季前赛，刘秀首节打了3分钟、第二节打了4分钟、末节打了3分钟，拿到6分2板1助攻1盖帽，开拓者队91比104输给了森林狼队。

On the 13th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Hornets at home.

Liu Xiu played a little more in this game, playing 19 minutes.

The coaching staff tried various tactics with Liu Xiu on the field, and there was no problem in cooperating with the old teammates.

Cooperation with new teammates... Except for Hill, the coaching staff did not count on the 4 newcomers.

Hill's situation was beyond the expectations of the coaching staff.

The coaching staff wanted to use the frontcourt core of Hill's bench lineup, but Hill played very plainly. After two games, he showed the ability of role players such as support, long two-point shooting, cutting, and rebounding.

Those fancy breakthroughs and star styles during the Pistons and Magic periods were not reflected at all.

This is a surprise to the Trail Blazers coaching staff.

Although Hill has a good reputation and the strength he showed last season after being reimbursed for so many years, he played 60 games and averaged 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4 assists per game. It's a legend, it's better not to sign a uncle with a low salary.

Unexpectedly, without asking the coaching staff to say anything, Ren Hill has already taken the initiative to adjust, and the coaching staff has lost a lot of things.

And it can be seen that this adjustment of play style is of great benefit to Hill's health!
But being too happy is also an annoyance. Maurice Cheeks took out a small tactical book and read it. Most of the tactics prepared for Hill were useless.

Facing the Hornets with a four-tower lineup of David West, Horford, Aldridge, and Bogut, the Trail Blazers still won 101-89 after a few twists and turns.

It's not how well the Trail Blazers are playing, but the Hornets are so chaotic that Hornets coach Byron Scott wants a dog leash.

After the two home games, on the 14th, the Trail Blazers left Portland for Miami. It is quite rare to have a preseason game against an Eastern Conference team this year.

Because the Hornets have returned to New Orleans, the reconstruction of the New Orleans arena has been completed, and the Trail Blazers are going to play a game in the preseason, and they will go to Miami to play a game by the way.

It's hard to go to the South Coast to play, so there will be a game on the 16th, and the Trail Blazers will go on the 14th.

However, Liu Xiu did not go away with the team. On the 14th, his aunt was about to give birth. After he came to the United States, he was taken care of by his aunt and uncle. He chose to stay and help with some chores. The team agreed to his request.
