Healing Basketball - Chapter 573

   Chapter 573 573. Who did this? (6000 words)

   In the head coach’s office, the head coach, vice president, chief assistant, and defensive assistant are discussing for the pre-game meeting later.

  Randolph couldn’t play, Raheem was on top of the starting lineup, there must be some adjustments to his style of play, not a tactical issue. After more than a dozen games, the players have partnered with Raheem, mainly because of the control of the rhythm of the game.

   After all, Raheem is now a substitute, and he is used to playing against the opponent’s bench in the last game. Even if he is the opponent’s starter, the opponent’s starting stamina has been exhausted by Randolph. This needs attention.

   There are a lot of little details like that, some of which may seem unnecessary, but being prepared as much as possible is the motto of Maurice-Cheeks.

   Also, for injuries, the coach put forward suggestions for preparing in advance. The targets of preparation are those players who are at high risk of injury, such as extrajudicial fanatics and Kwame Brown.

Ray Allen has also suffered quite a lot of injuries in the past four seasons. He missed more than a dozen games a year on average. It is necessary to prepare. However, this year, Ray Allen began to adjust his style of play, reducing the number of breakthroughs and strong attacks with the ball, and his physical condition improved. Well, the risk of injury has dropped a lot.

  This suggestion has been unanimously approved by the management and the coaching staff. When there is time in the future, we will plan and implement this matter.

   Now they’re talking about tonight’s game against the Rockets.

   The opponent is not strong, but it is not particularly weak, there is a clear core to be cultivated, there is no need to be rotten, there are many role players, and the opponent is playing away, so you can’t be careless.

   Just when the vice president and the coaches were almost discussing, the office door was slammed open, and a ‘bang’ hit the wall.

  Chris Owen panted and said in a short voice: “Not good, boss, head coach, not good…”

   The vice president was originally feeling unhappy. Hearing that, he felt a shudder in his heart. He couldn’t care less and quickly asked, “What’s the matter, Chris, is someone injured?”

   “Injured?” Chris Owen was stunned and shook his head: “I don’t know, it may or may not be injured.”

   The vice president was at a loss: “What’s the situation?”

  Chris Owen replied: “Oh, oh, no, Stevenson was knocked out by the warden!”

  “????”

  The question mark circled around the vice president’s head.

   At this time, the calm coach said: “Chris, don’t worry, make it clear.”

  Chris Owen patted his chest, calmed down, and said, “Stevenson provoked the warden, nominated him to fight against the warden, and wanted to steal the warden’s title, and was knocked out by the warden.”

   The vice president scolded the street on the spot when he heard the words: “That new XXXXX has a sick mind? Why are you grabbing this title?”

  ”?” Chris Owen: Isn’t that the one to blame for the beating? How do you scold the one who was beaten?

   But Chris Owen just thought about it in his heart and didn’t say it.

   The coach comforted: “Kevin, don’t be angry, it’s a good thing.”

   The vice president was angry: “Good thing? What’s wrong with this?”

  Chris Owen nods wildly, yes, that’s not a good thing, deal with him! Deal with the warden! Deduct his salary!

The coach replied: “A man who wants to grab the title of warden doesn’t seem very smart, but he may attach great importance to this duel, and he is very concerned about winning or losing this duel, and he is very concerned about these things that we think are meaningless. Care… Isn’t that what Damon is like? The warden said what this symptom is called… Oh, yes, it’s called the second disease, it seems that Stevenson is quite the second.”

  The vice president thought for a while and said, “Do you think that since Stevenson dares to do this, it means that he may become an unstable factor. Jace beat him and beat him? It makes sense…”

  The coach said at this time: “Don’t be too happy too soon.”

   The vice president was confused again: “Are you saying that Jace hasn’t beaten Stevenson yet? Do you want to heal him and let them fight?”

  Chris Owen: “…”

   The coach smiled and said: “I’m not saying this, even if he doesn’t accept it, let him feel that our team culture will definitely conquer him. Now we should worry about the impact on us after this incident is exposed.”

“…” The vice president was stunned for a while, then turned on the street scolding mode: “That new XXXXXX, what are you doing to mess with Jace, no brain XXXX, did your brain go into the sea water on the south coast… Damn, Morris, you said this pair How big will the impact of our future signings be?”

The coach rubbed his stubble: “I think it’s very big. When those thorns hear that they are coming to our team, they will probably resist. If those thorns are free agents, they probably won’t want to come… Don’t be so frustrated, no Eliminate players like Stevenson who want to challenge the impossible, right?”

   The vice president slumped on the chair, not wanting to talk to the coach.

  Chris Irving is infinitely ignorant – the thorny players are afraid of us, can we recruit players who are not thorns?

   And some team members were knocked out, is this what you care about?

   At any rate, the warden will be fined three to five thousand dollars to make him, the shooting coach, speak ill!

  …

   At 9:10 in the morning, the pre-match meeting was held on time, and it was not delayed because some players were carried to the infirmary.

   Regarding Stevenson being knocked out, the coach just said that the new recruits can’t play tonight’s game, and Ray Allen and Raheem need to share some of the work at the small forward position.

   Liu Xiu’s fight, no teammate thought he would be dealt with.

   Of course, Stevenson was knocked out, which was a bit beyond the expectations of his teammates.

   was so uncontrollable that he fell over the shoulder and fainted!

   But even so, there are not many people who are worried, and as expected, the coaching staff directly ignored this matter.

   After that, the coaching staff detailed the issue of Randolph’s injury.

   Originally, the teammates were very worried about this matter, but when I came to the arena this morning, I heard Stevenson blaring that he wanted to challenge the warden and become the new warden, and everyone’s attention was distracted.

   This morning, just after 8:00, Stevenson came to the arena for training. Before him, only veteran Mourning, who came to the arena before 8:00 in the morning after entering the active list, came to the arena to adjust his physical condition.

   A hard-working player, with a loud voice, confident and enthusiastic, familiar with himself, and proactively greets every teammate… Teammates have a good impression of Stevenson.

   As for Stevenson’s irritability, irritability, lack of intelligence, and erratic personality… These defects are not very important, this is not, isn’t this one being rescued.

With the episode of Stevenson’s ‘competing for the position of warden’, the teammates were relieved a lot because of Randolph’s injury. Now I hear the coach say that Randolph is not a serious injury, just to be cautious and stop. After Sai’s treatment, he wasn’t so worried anymore, instead it was a bit painful.

   Training is exhausted, and it’s always so weird to be associated with Randolph.

  In their opinion, the butcher should be the same as the warden, the one who is lazy and wastes talent better than others…

   Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for the media to expose Liu Xiu knocking Stevenson out on portal websites and forums.

   This incident quickly fermented on the Internet. The Blazers held a press conference to explain the cause and effect of the incident. They were very honest, did not add oil and vinegar, and did not deliberately cover up anything.

   But the media didn’t believe it, and they used text art to guide people not to believe it. They had to describe Liu Xiu as the kind of person who bullied new teammates.

   It is even speculated that Ray Allen, Blake, Mourning and others were also beaten when they joined.

After this incident, the image of the    warden has ‘grown’ in the direction of ‘tyrant’.

  Some media have directed fans to go to the NBA for official complaints and asked them to suspend Liu Xiu from the game, and some people launched a joint solicitation online, trying to gather enough 10,000 people to petition the White House…

   These are really painless for Liu Xiu.

  If you are undecided, you can send a petition to the White House or send a beautiful scenery when you encounter a problem. This is a cultural treasure of the 200-year-old history of the United States.

   Even the entertainment news media in the United States treated this as entertainment news reports.

  …

   The preparations for the morning went very smoothly. Originally, the coaching staff had some tactical adjustments due to the addition of new players, but now they are not needed.

   knocking out his teammate Gu Qi, although the other party took the initiative, and reminded the other party many times that he hoped the other party beg for mercy, but Liu Xiu still felt a little guilty for knocking the other party unconscious with a combination of confiscated energy.

   He went to the team doctor to ask about the situation.

  Stevenson woke up after a while after fainting. Thomas Carter is currently on the team. After a detailed examination, it was determined that there was no concussion.

   The reason for his dizziness, Thomas Carter said a lot of professional terms, but few Liu Xiu understood.

   But the general meaning is understood – Gu Qi is in a panic, and when you wake up and adjust your mentality, you will be fine.

  Stevenson has no physical problems, but Thomas Carter suggested that Stevenson not play tonight and let him adjust his emotions.

   Having worked with NBA teams for a long time, Thomas Carter knows that the negative impact of psychological problems on black athletes is much greater than physical injuries!

  There are differences between people…

  The time came to 7:40 p.m., Rose Garden Arena, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers entered the stadium one after another.

In the past two seasons, the Blazers and the Rockets played against each other. It was a carnival day for domestic sports TV stations and basketball fans, but no one cares about this season. Originally, the NBA officials wanted to warm up this game, but there is no domestic game. Which TV station bought it? The court sports channel, which is still broadcasting the NBA for free, did not broadcast this game. Instead, it broadcasted the game the Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets the day before yesterday as a warm-up. Anyway, Anthony is currently ranked fifth in the scoring list. Name, and Liu Xiu also have a university connection.

  What’s up with the Rockets?

Hamilton is a very good player. This season, he averaged 21.6 points per game with a shooting rate of 46%, a career high, and his efficiency is very good. The record of 7 losses is not too bad for them, but his character is low-key and calm, he has no astrology, and he can’t find a point worthy of hype.

   If Yao Ming retired directly after leaving the Rockets and stopped playing, there would be a group of people who nostalgic for this team.

   But Yao Ming left the Rockets for a stronger team, and now ranks first in the East. The comparison is too obvious, and domestic fans also understand how much Yao Ming suffered in the Rockets.

   At this time, even if the well-known people who seem to have received money are resisting stubbornly, they cannot stop the Rockets’ downward trend in domestic evaluations.

   Liu Xiu was happy to see such a development.

In addition to chatting with Varejao, Liu Xiu did not have any communication with the Rockets players or other people before the game. The general manager of the other party, Dawson, came to the road and wanted to take a pre-game photo or something. Liu Xiu ignore it…

  The game is about to start, and Liu Xiu copied Payton’s ‘blocking flow’ and Hamilton’s ‘pursuit’.

  ’Blocking the flow’ is to defend Alston.

The bonus effect of   Hamilton’s “Pursuit”: In a single-round attack, the physical consumption of basketball behaviors such as running, changing direction, accelerating breakthrough, etc., has greatly weakened the impact on the take-off, force, etc. when shooting.

   Liu Xiu rubbed the magnesium powder and came to the court. The starting teammates who played with him were Ray Allen, Outlaws, Raheem and Kwame Brown.

  The Rockets sent the starting lineup of Alston, Hamilton, Desmond Mason, Varejao and Bynum.

Liu Xiu looked at the Rockets’ bench with Telfair, Darius Miles, Luther Hyde, and rookie Danny Granger, who was a good rookie. He felt that Yao Ming was really miserable. As soon as we leave, hey, the Rockets’ perimeter team is ready! Fortunately, these people were exchanged by him, and he let the birds fly.

   At 8 p.m., Kwame Brown narrowly beat Bynum to win the jump ball, and the game begins!

  Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Alstom’s defense, he chose to make a breakthrough.

“Andrew Bynum, 18 years old (born October 27, 1987), height 211 cm, wingspan 224 cm, weight 122 kg, C, ability evaluation 67…speed 80, strength 93, bounce 90… average appearances per game 22 minutes, 7.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 blocks per game…”

Bynum’s physical talent is too explosive. He just turned 18 last month. He is even smaller than when Kobe and Jermaine O’Neal entered the NBA, but his physical development is more mature. The weight of 211 cm + 122 kg seems so Lightweight, good ball quotient, and excellent defensive awareness.

   But there are basically no basic defensive skills and skills, purely instinct… Of course, this highlights his talent, and it can be seen that Bynum is still growing!

However, both Bynum and Varejao are still too young. Both of them are 210+ cm tall and 120+ kg on the defensive end. They are piled together under the basket. No matter how powerful the breakthrough players are, they are not enough. Fortunately, the Blazers have Raheem who can pull Varejao away, otherwise Liu Xiu’s sudden score would be too difficult.

But when it comes to the offensive end, In addition to occasionally giving him the ball to let him chisel with his body in the low post, other times he will stand at close range and wait for a cake or a rush. Coincidentally, the new Varejao is in the Trail Blazers. The offense of the period is similar to that of Bynum, and he doesn’t even have the ability to chisel the low post.

  So, Alston almost scolded after receiving the serve and advancing to the frontcourt—the twin towers, one left and one right, stepped on the sidelines of the three-second zone. Are they the goalkeeper to guard the basket?

   is still the opponent’s basket!

  Since that’s the case, then there are only face-frame singles. Alston is very confident in himself. Seeing Liu Xiu standing in front of him, he completely ignores it.

   Don’t talk about Liu Xiu’s defense, let Kobe, Kidd, Larry Hughes, the first defense-level bigwigs come, he is confident to pass.

His self-confidence is not blind, and his one-on-one breakthrough ability can be counted in the whole league. However, he underestimated Liu Xiu’s defense… It can’t be said that he underestimated Liu Xiu’s defense. There was a certain improvement on the basis of the defense encountered when he played against Liu Xiu, but the last time the two faced off was almost a year ago.

  Alstom’s breakthrough and retreating step length of two points was successfully interrupted by Liu Xiu, iron!

  Kwame Brown and Raheem had solid card positions, and Ray Allen on the left side of the free throw line retracted to protect the defensive rebound.

   Rockets coach Johnny Davis feels that the odds of winning this game are not big.

Liu Xiu is in good offensive form and plays extraordinarily active. The Trail Blazers have a solid and solid defensive end. The twin towers have such a big advantage in strength without being careless. The only advantage of the Rockets’ inside twin towers is that they are strong in offensive rebounds, but the Blazers double Tower is so stealing, Varejao and Bynum are useless on the offensive end.

  The Rockets can only deal with the Blazers on the outside, but the Blazers are stronger on the outside than on the inside.

As Johnny Davis thought, the Rockets didn’t have any chance in the first quarter. The Trail Blazers played very hard, especially Liu Xiu, who played the most active personal attack so far this season. Going out, Raheem or Ray Allen singles, Liu Xiu goes to play without the ball to meet or support, switching the style of play is a decisive move, and the style of play after the switch is quite good!

   Liu Xiu made 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, helping the Blazers lead the Rockets 28-15 by 13 points!

However, in the second quarter, as Johnny Davis expected, the Blazers relaxed and the defensive end was not so hard. The Rockets took the opportunity to score 26-27 in the second quarter, biting the difference. Didn’t let the Blazers widen the point gap to the point where they couldn’t catch up.

   But in the third quarter, when they came back from halftime, under the urging of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers smashed the score of 31 to 25 in a single quarter, widening the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop, leading the Rockets 86 to 66!

Although Johnny Davis has average coaching ability, he has an excellent ability to train new recruits and has rich coaching experience. After playing the hardest first quarter, the second and third quarters combined to score 51 points.

   But Liu Xiu scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists in 29 minutes in the first three quarters, leading his team to 86 points in three quarters!

  The Trail Blazers did not send Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and the extrajudicial fanatics to the starting perimeter in the final quarter. Although the Rockets took advantage of the perimeter to score 27-23 in the final quarter, they were still unable to save the defeat.

  The Blazers relied on Liu Xiu’s 25 points and 11 assists in three quarters, Ray Allen’s 18 points in three quarters, and Kwame Brown’s 10 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks to beat the Rockets 109-93, winning 7 consecutive victories!

  …

   Randolph was injured, and the Blazers suddenly emerged as Kwame Brown!

   played 29 minutes and got 14 rebounds. Although there is a suspicion of bullying Varejao and Bynum, they are still young, but it is really amazing.

   The defect is 14 rebounds, 5 turnovers after grabbing rebounds, 10 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 5 turnovers.

  Varejao is too familiar with Kwame Brown, and he has tossed Kwame Brown enough to not grab the board.

   Kwame Brown’s game showed his great progress in the past two years, but it also exposed his flaws more obviously – he must make the first decision after grabbing the ball or receiving the ball, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes.

The morning after the    game against the Rockets, when Liu Xiu listened to Anne Hathaway reading the news, she felt that the media were really enthusiastic and selfless.

These media have clearly described a series of flaws brought about by Kwame Brown’s small hands, and they have listed how to use these flaws to deal with Kwame Brown, for fear that Kwame Brown does not know his flaws , I don’t know what deficiencies to strengthen myself.

   What a group of warm and good people!

  Today, the team’s meeting time was 1:00 pm, but Liu Xiu left for Rose Garden Arena before 9:00 am because he had an appointment for 10:00 am training.

When    arrived in the locker room, when Liu Xiu went to pick up his training uniform and towel, the staff said that someone had already picked it up for him.

   Liu Xiu is not surprising, Kwame-Brown or McDyess will occasionally help him get these things together.

However, when I opened the closet, I looked at the towels and training clothes that were carefully folded in the middle of the closet. The razors, nail clippers, shoelaces, scratch paper, pens, etc. were usually thrown around. Today, All are neatly arranged, and some things are also packed in transparent boxes.

   He closed the wardrobe and looked around, this is his wardrobe! The boss is the wardrobe, the innermost cabinet.

   Was it an illusion just now?

   He opened the closet and took another look.

   is not an illusion! No dazzling!

  Who did it?

  Liu Xiu carefully took out the training uniform and towel, checked carefully, there was no hidden weapon, and then carefully looked at the wardrobe, there was nothing wrong.

   Just when Liu Xiu was bewildered, a somewhat unfamiliar face came to him and said enthusiastically, “You’re here, warden!”

  Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment before realizing it. Isn’t this the new teammate who wanted to steal his warden title and was knocked out by him yesterday?

   In fact, it’s not the looks that are strange, but the expression, the way he speaks, and the guy who was so arrogant and seemed to have a problem with his mind yesterday, he’s not the same person at all!

   Seeing that Liu Xiu didn’t answer, Stevenson reacted and said quickly, “I get to the arena early every morning to help the warden sort you out.”

   Liu Xiu understood now, it was the new teammate who wanted to have a good relationship after being beaten up. He smiled and said, “Thank you.”

   Who knows, just as he said “three buttons”, Stevenson’s flattering expression immediately darkened.

   Stevenson roared, “Thank you? Are you insulting me? Warden, how can you talk like that!”

  Liu Xiu was silent for a while, with a ruthless expression on his face, and said, “Give me those shoes at noon, or I will kick you to death.”

  Stevenson showed the expression of ‘this is the warden in my mind’ and said excitedly: “I see! It must be cleaned!”

  Liu Xiu waved his hand, Stevenson left the locker room after leaving a sentence, “I’ll go to training if I have nothing to do.”

  Liu Xiu looked at the closed locker room door and the training uniform in her hand, she didn’t know what to think for a while.

   The lineup structure of their prison team is optimized, is it optimized like this?
