Healing Basketball

Chapter 937 937. The Strongest Team

Randolph and Liu Xiu are so different in character and outlook, but they can get along because Liu Xiu doesn't blindly indoctrinate Randolph with his ideas.

Regarding each other's different perceptions of certain things, the two will not want the other to think like themselves. Most of the time, the two are ordinary colleagues in the United States, and they don't talk in private.

But things with similar interests, such as complaining about something, playing games, eating delicious food, and training, will get together.

Now, the two of them can't understand the Celtics together, and they both feel very good about complaining together.

A bad reputation can sometimes be beneficial.

Like this time Randolph fought with others, the media and fans thought it was normal.

Coupled with the fact that the other party arrogantly said racially discriminatory remarks to the camera, the league did not stand up and say a few words. The lawyer was very sure that the other party would not have to fight the lawsuit, and the matter was over.

Liu Xiu learned a very interesting thing from the team's lawyer - Boston's local law ranks the highest in the United States in terms of punishment for words and deeds of racial discrimination, and its anti-racial discrimination promotional activities and financial investment rank first in the United States.

The most nourishing life in Boston may be the people of the Anti-Racial Discrimination Association.

With the money given by the racially discriminated person, he also enjoys the respect of the discriminated person.

During the two-day break, the Trail Blazers rested for a day and a half, and did not go to the United Center Arena for an afternoon of preparation training until the afternoon of the 14th.

Moreover, the training is mainly based on meetings and tactical movement training, and there is no intensity.

On the 15th, at 7:[-] in the morning, Liu Xiuzhu woke up. After extracting the simulation training results, the system prompted.

"Congratulations to the host for improving the pick-and-roll with the ball from 89 to 90, reaching the top level."

Another top-level technology!
After the first half of the season, Liu Xiu has made rapid progress in many aspects.

The pick-and-roll with the ball has reached the top, and the application of pick-and-roll technology has also reached 84, which is only a short distance from the first-class.

The most improved is shooting off the dribble, which has been raised to 92.

People are in good spirits every time they celebrate a happy event. In the pre-match preparation stage in the morning, he is particularly enthusiastic, and his teammates are also encouraged. After two days of rest, everyone is very energetic now, and the preparation stage is quite good.

This game received a lot of attention. From the perspective of the media's enthusiasm, Liu Xiu felt that this game was the most watched game in North America so far this season.

The Christmas game against the Pistons received the most attention overall and was more popular than today, but more than half of the media came from domestic and Asian countries and regions.

At 7:40 p.m., amid manic boos from United Center fans, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the field.

Liu Xiu seemed to be able to feel three eyes that wanted to chop him up...

This game has received so much attention, apart from the matchup between the champions and runners-up, the grievances between Liu Xiu and Garnett, there is another hot topic——

The three players who are most hostile to the warden in the league gather in Chicago!

Liu Xiu has grievances and entanglements with many stars, such as Kobe, Nash, Duncan, James, Iverson... But with these people, there are hostile aspects, but there are also friendly aspects.

It's like being an enemy or friend with Kobe.

In private, Iverson is a bold big brother in front of Liu Xiu.

Apart from being an LSP in private, Nash treats Liu Xiu well in other respects.

Duncan likes to show off his collection in private, everything else is fine, there is not so much hostility on the court.

James is also very proactive and friendly in private...

Even Artest didn't say anything bad about Liu Xiu in private, and if he didn't win the fight, he didn't win.

But Hinrich, Pierce, and Garnett were different. They never had the slightest good looks towards Liu Xiu on and off the court.

When Liu Xiu won the MVP for the first time in the past two years, there was a good media ranking of the "stars who hate the warden the most", and the three brothers ranked in the top three.

Pierce, a veteran star who was about to be limped by the Celtics management, left the team voluntarily. In an interview, he bluntly said that he just wanted to have a chance to beat Liu Xiu.

Then the home team, the Bulls, entered the field. Amid the cheers of the fans, Hinrich, Severosa, Okur, Pierce, and Garnett's five-man team played.

Seeing this lineup, Liu Xiu gasped.

Defensive evaluation.

Hinrich 92, the best defensive team level, the team's performance is good enough to attack the first defense.

Severosa 82, a rising flank defensive genius, currently lacks single-defense capabilities, but he is very good at switching pick-and-rolls, shrinking, and replenishing defenses. He is very suitable for the Bulls' high-speed rotation defense system.

Pierce is 84, has excellent top defense, can switch defenses inside, and has strong shooting interference ability.

Garnett 100, the league's top defensive player, is expected to defend the DPOY title.

Okur, defense 86, first-class frame protection, excellent top defense, full of defensive enthusiasm, inside barrier behind Garnett.

In terms of substitute lineup, rookie Corey Brewer, Nocioni, Terrence Thomas, Duhon, Aaron Gray, Webber...

"Chicago Bulls, 30 wins and 7 losses, averaging 96.5 points per game, conceding 89.6 points per game, shooting 47.1% from the field, limiting opponents to 41.6% from the field..."

Destroy it!
Liu Xiu wants to get kicked!

These days, there are teams that average less than 90 points per game.

For the 'reverse trend' teams, people's attention is on the Pistons, but the Bulls are the real 'reverse trend'.

It's just that the Bulls played like this after getting Garnett last season, and this season they played even more, unlike the Pistons who played so differently in the two seasons.

However, seeing such a strong Bulls team, Liu Xiu was quite relaxed.

The game is over!

After 14 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers have only 7 wins and 3 losses in the past 4 games.

Liu Xiu was quite anxious at the beginning. Although he always maintained a calmness that could piss off the coaches when communicating with the coaching staff, after 2 wins and 3 losses, he also panicked.

5, 10, 15... Numbers like this will treat it as a small stage.

But after 3 wins and 4 losses, he calmed down instead.

They started with 9 wins and 7 losses, and now they are 26 wins and 11 losses, which is already very good.

As soon as he stepped onto the court, he maintained a high morale and drove his teammates.

After marveling at the strength of the opponent's defense, he also recalled the weaknesses of the Bulls discussed in the preparation meeting.

Hinrich has the flaw of ambition greater than strength.

Sefulosa basically has no offensive ability, a weakened version of Tony Allen, who only has the advantage of fast counterattack.

Pierce is easy to float, claiming to be the strongest small forward in the universe, and boasting that no one is his opponent.

Garnett is very useless offensively at critical moments.

Okur's technical hesitation is insufficient in physical condition and lacks tough scoring methods.

With the mentality of being 'bad', coupled with sufficient research on the opponent and a clear understanding of the opponent's weaknesses, although many weaknesses cannot be exploited, but thinking about it this way, I feel that the opponent is nothing more than that.

Anyway, no matter how strong they are, they will not be stronger than they were in the 06-07 season, right?
