Healing Basketball - Chapter 575
Chapter 575 575. This is the real Chinese Derby! (5000 words)
“Annie, do you think we should invest or start a sports equipment brand…”
During lunch time, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway talked on the phone. His girlfriend was thinking of starting a business this year, but she didn’t know where to start.
Today, Liu Xiu has an idea to develop the peripherals!
When he wanted to learn to play basketball in his previous life, he pestered his family to buy a whole set of basketball equipment, but after he really learned to play, he put on shorts, a vest, and sneakers and went straight to the court. When he was sweating, he went shirtless.
The reason for this idea was the ankle brace he just got.
“Big Black Bear’s Ankle Brace: When the host performs a post-up singles, it can always start at the fastest speed after turning around. (Note: It is affected by the physical strength at that time.
Looking at the bonus details of this newly acquired equipment again, he still feels excited!
For a small player like him, post-up is actually quite dependent on explosive acceleration, but he doesn’t, so his post-play too far from the basket can easily be pinched.
He has a selfless style of play, and it doesn’t matter if he is pinched. He makes good use of the opponent’s flanking to score the ball.
But as an FMVP, he has more and more confidence in his personal ability. With the same opportunity, he is more willing to make his own shots, except in individual cases.
Like a three-point shot, it is naturally better for Ray Allen; outside singles, Momo is the better choice; low post attack, Randolph is the best choice.
Now with this equipment, his back-up scoring efficiency will become higher!
Even if it is mainly to organize the attack, his back turns and starts faster. If the opponent wants to block him, he has to arrange quicker stance adjustments and need to make more early moves, and he will organize the attack more powerfully.
When it came to the afternoon’s team training match, Liu Xiu couldn’t wait to try the bonus effect. Not to mention, he was a little unaccustomed to turning around and accelerating after the sudden improvement, but after a few more tries, the better.
The remark ‘affected by physical strength’, he also understood what it means, speed will definitely be affected by physical strength, and the fastest speed to start is the fastest speed that can be achieved after running under physical strength at that time is the starting speed.
But no matter what, it is a very big improvement for his back play!
In fact, he broke through to the top level in the low post. He was quite surprised. His back play so far doesn’t seem to have any personal characteristics.
However, he has absorbed the skills of many top back-playing masters, and has completed the connection of high and low back-playing, back-playing application skills, etc…. or successfully raised back-playing to the top.
As he thought before, since he has embarked on a path without personal characteristics from the beginning of his studies, then he should not have personal characteristics at all. ‘.
…
After the team training in the afternoon, the pick-and-roll training team continued to conduct 4 groups of 5 minutes of continuous training. This time, Fred Jones was replaced by an extrajudicial fanatic who volunteered to join.
It just so happens that Fred Jones is transforming into a functional player with a single characteristic. Last season, he averaged 6.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 65 games per game, which is quite comprehensive, but this year the Trail Blazers do not need this type. The backup shooting guard is gone, because they have Ray Allen, the all-around starting shooting guard.
Both the extrajudicial fanatic and Stevenson can’t stand each other. The teammates expected it. From Stevenson’s character, it can be seen that this guy is definitely eyeing the starting position. The extralegal fanatic is naturally very jealous. .
The hostility between the two people, everyone doesn’t care, if you want to fight, fight!
The old teammates have nothing to worry about the potential and strength of the extrajudicial fanatics. Instead, the veterans regard Stevenson’s challenge as the driving force for the extrajudicial fanatics to move forward.
However, during the extra practice this afternoon, several teammates were still surprised.
Compared with the extra training in the morning, Liu Xiu’s back fight has improved again!
If there is improvement in three, five or two days, they can accept it, but after five or six hours in the morning and afternoon, they can feel the progress… Liu Xiu has gained hundreds of healing points in this wave, and he is in a better mood. it is good.
When I got home in the evening, Liu Xiu became a ‘child’ again, and my parents are here!
Men, when you are with your parents, you seem to be getting younger. If you come to do a street census, you have to let the people in the street wait for the adults to come home, even if they are almost 30 years old at this time.
In the afternoon, his parents had already arrived in Portland. He originally planned to pick him up by himself, but before his mother came, he ordered her own brother to pick him up and let him focus on work.
Liu Xiu felt that his uncle was really miserable, his blood was suppressed, he was like a little chicken in front of his mother, and he was too cowardly.
His parents chose to come at this time purely because of the ‘China Derby’ tomorrow, otherwise it would take another two months to come together for the New Year. He deeply felt what it means to be his own.
Compared with last year, now Liu Xiu and his father have more to talk about. His father has become a real old man who understands the game, but it is easy to get into disputes when they disagree, but this is more normal to Liu Xiu’s mother. Well, this is normal between father and son.
In the evening, they also went to see the new house under construction. Recently, the cost of building materials and labor costs have been significantly reduced. The building materials have been unsalable, and many construction companies have less and less work. It’s still rising, but it’s more driven by the constant dismantling of loan contracts… For Liu Xiu, nothing else matters. What matters is that the cost of building a house at this time is much lower than originally expected, mainly due to labor and construction. The industry has already begun to experience a surplus of human resources.
Anne Hathaway originally estimated that she would be able to move into a new house during the Chinese New Year, but Liu Xiu and his mother said that it would take a few months to move in after the decoration. They learned about the safety of formaldehyde, which has become more important in China in recent years. Anne- Hathaway felt very reasonable after hearing this, and agreed.
Liu Xiu also discovered some small problems in the Americans, such as common sense that the Chinese think everyone should know, but many Americans do not know.
For example, many Americans think that Texas is a country. For example, about the pollution of house decoration, if Americans do not specifically understand, 99% of people do not know that there is formaldehyde. This is definitely not because Americans have no formaldehyde in decoration materials, but from No one from the country to the businessman will take the initiative to mention this thing.
Today Anne-Hathaway felt like she had learned something and felt unhealthy. He moved in directly after his house in Los Angeles was renovated.
But what saddens her the most is that her parents-in-law’s English is improving much faster than her Chinese!
…
November 30, 2005, the game day for the first time the Trail Blazers and Pistons played against each other in the new season arrived.
Today, when he got up and took a shower and went downstairs, the whole family was ready to go, and they were dressed very grandly. If he didn’t know that he had work to do today, he almost mistakenly thought that their family had contracted Mamba disease.
After having breakfast and surrounded by so many people, Liu Xiu quickly swallowed it in two mouthfuls. It didn’t take long for the filming team from the Imperial Palace to arrive at around 8 o’clock. Liu Xiu and his party set off for the Rose Garden Arena.
I went to the Rose Garden Arena and saw that Yao Ming’s family was also being filmed.
Knowing that Liu Xiu’s parents would come, the court had already contacted them. The filming started this morning. Liu Xiu thought his parents would be very resistant, but after they heard it, they went everywhere to buy clothes, so today’s costumes Ball watching tour…
When asked by reporters about the feeling of playing the “China Derby” again, Liu Xiuying said: “I really feel how unprecedented the unprecedented enthusiasm for domestic basketball said in the news…”
Yesterday, Liu Xiu had seen many Chinese faces outside the arena. Today, the small square outside the Rose Garden arena is about to be ‘occupied’ by the Chinese.
Sure enough, the record is still king!
In the past two seasons, the China Derby has been very lively, but it is far from today.
In the past, people in China supported Yao Ming, just because Yao Ming was a Chinese player and Yao Ming was a great individual. Now, with the blessing of his record, Yao Ming’s popularity and influence have reached a new level.
This time the Chinese derby has an unprecedented high level of attention and influence from the Chinese people. Judging from the enthusiasm of the fans, it may not even be able to match the Olympic Games last year, because at that time I didn’t know how good results could be achieved, but now I can see it. Liu Xiu ranked first in the west and Yao Ming first in the east.
During the interview, except for some irrelevant topics, most of the interview content was official, and Liu Xiu’s answer was quite casual. He knew that on such occasions, if he accidentally turned on the healing mode, the court channel probably wouldn’t broadcast it.
When came to the training ground, the teammates were also being interviewed, which lasted until 10:00.
Although the pre-game meeting was postponed by an hour, the Blazers almost made preparations yesterday, and this matter was set in advance.
is the enthusiasm of Chinese fans and Chinese media for this game, far beyond the imagination of the Blazers management, coaching staff and players.
The China Derby in the past two seasons has been so lively that they feel exaggerated, and today is outrageous!
Some media broke the news that the average ticket price for this Chinese derby tonight reached an astonishing $841, breaking the NBA’s record for a single game in the regular season, almost double the previous record!
The previous record for the average price of a single-game ticket in the regular season held by Jordan’s retirement was less than $500.
This is only the official sale price of the Blazers!
In terms of ticket prices, Paul Allen didn’t do charity work, he had to earn what he deserved, the ticket price was high, he also had face, and Portland fans were not short of money.
All of this makes the Blazers players extra excited.
In the ancient eastern country with a population of more than one billion people on the other side of the ocean, even if only one tenth or one twentieth of the people watched the live broadcast, the number of people was more than that of most countries.
Playing games with so many fans watching, if you don’t play well, it would be a shame!
…
Tonight’s Rose Garden Arena is very different. Nearly half of the 20,000 fans are Chinese.
Liu Xiu was not surprised when he watched this scene at the entrance of the player tunnel.
There will always be a group of people in China who are not short of money…
The hustle and bustle of the day is over, and the game will start in a few minutes.
“Detroit Pistons, 12 wins and 2 losses, 98.5 points per game, 91.7 points per game… 7.2 three-pointers per game, 39.1% three-point shooting rate…”
The Pistons’ numbers, compared to last season, are completely two teams.
The defense is still the best, but the pace is not so slow.
The biggest change is the three-pointer, the fifth in the league in three-pointers per game and the third in the league in three-point shooting percentage!
Some of these changes were brought about by Yao Ming, but more of it was the same man – Philip Saunders who opened his eyes and had a forehead tattoo.
The Pistons have not had an offensive system in the past two seasons, and Sanders has brought more changes to the Pistons’ offense than the shotgun.
Chauncey Billups, 29 years old, 191 cm, 92 kg, PG, 88 ability rating, 81 offense, 91 defense…Averaged 16 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal…shooting 40.6% from the field, three-pointers 44%, 2.3 three-pointers per game…”
Billups’ three-point ability was played out by Sanders. Under Larry Brown, Billups was just an outside wave shooter. When Sanders came to him, Billups became Carter. The strongest outside musket around!
It is the fact that the three-point shooting rate is higher than the overall shooting rate, which shows that he is really wave + unstable in attack, and there is a reason for his wandering before entering the peak period.
“Vince Carter, 28 years old, 198 cm, 100 kg, SG/SF, ability rating 92…Averaged 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block…shooting 44.9% from the field, 39% from three…”
Maybe it was caused by stepping, or maybe he was too uncompetitive in the early stage of his career and was too inattentive in improving his personal ability… At the peak of his theoretical career, Carter’s ability has not improved to a higher level, which makes Liu Xiu fortunate and regretful.
“Yao Ming, 25 years old, 226 cm, 136 kg, C, ability rating 93, offense 97, defense 88… 32 minutes per game, 22.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.5 steals and 2 blocks… 51.9% shooting percentage, 86.2 percent from the free throw line…”
Compared with last season, Yao Ming’s average points per game has not improved much, but his playing time has decreased a bit. There are more powerful teammates. The improvement is actually quite obvious. To calculate, Ben Wallace’s declining rebounding rebounds have bucked the trend this season, averaging 14.5 rebounds per game so far this season, the second-highest of his career!
But in Liu Xiu’s view, Yao Ming is still not at his peak. He remembers that Yao Ming averaged 25 points per game in less than 34 minutes per game in the original time and space. How strong is this performance?
In the modern basketball era, all the center players who averaged less than 35 minutes per game but can get at least 25 points, except Yao Ming, only O’Neal in the 98-99 season.
The flounder, who averaged 16 points and 8 assists per game, the Flying Man who averaged 24 points per game, and the Little Giant who averaged 22.5 points per game.
Without the butcher, the warden feels a lot of pressure now!
…
At 7:40 p.m., the lights on the scene dimmed, and the Pistons who were playing on the road entered the field first.
Carter, Billups, Yao Ming, Prince, and Ben Wallace entered the stadium one after another, and the wild boos from the fans exceeded Yao Ming’s expectations! His face felt swollen!
Not many of the nearly 10,000 Chinese fans at the scene cheered for him. Even if this is the home of the warden, it doesn’t make sense to him!
Originally, the domestic fans who came to watch the game were prepared to get wet, and both teams supported it, but!
After sitting in this arena, I felt the frenetic atmosphere of the Devil’s home in Rose Bay. Driven by the Blazers fans, except for a few fans who hated and resented Liu Xiu, everyone chose to cheer for the Blazers tonight. Yao Ming…I’m not at the Blazers’ home court tonight, so I have to watch the game at home. Next time I have the opportunity to watch the China Derby at the Pistons’ home court, I’ll talk about cheering for Yao Ming.
When the home team came out and Liu Xiu ran out with his teammates, the cheers on the scene made the Pistons players who played at the Palace of Auburn Hills feel stupefied!
The atmosphere at this home is amazing!
Carter patted Yao Ming. The scene was too noisy. He asked loudly, “Little Giant, are you so much less popular than the warden in your country?”
The spotlight is on the home team’s player tunnel, and the visiting team has only dim light coming from there, but Yao Ming still feels that the eyes of his teammates are all focused on him under Carter’s loud voice… So angry!
He thought it was unreasonable, but the Chinese people who came to watch the game today seemed to be fans of Liu Xiu… This made his already strong fighting spirit even higher!
Originally, it was discussed with the court and NBA officials. In such a grand game tonight, the players of the two teams temporarily put aside their previous grievances and took a friendly photo before the game.
Both teams agreed, but after entering the field, they both changed their minds.
The atmosphere of is highlighted by this, and the friendship is the first and the second game? What a joke!
is even more unacceptable for Pistons players.
’The War of the Warden’s Arrival’ was a great start for the Blazers and a shame for the Pistons!
The fans from China are ready to welcome the baptism of ‘friendship’ and ‘appreciation between opponents’, but the players of the two teams ignored each other after entering the stadium, and hurry up to prepare for the last time. The official staff of the TV station and the league are here. Looking for them, they don’t answer.
This made the domestic fans who came to watch the game even more excited!
The narrator of the imperial court was dumbfounded and quickly looked for reasons to make up for it, but the fans in front of the TV were very excited!
Because of the relationship between the ‘China Derby’, the players of the two teams give face, play well, I am good to everyone, and domestic fans can also accept it, just normal operation.
But the two teams really showed their dissatisfaction with each other, and most of the fans in front of the TV lit up!
That’s right!
Two teams with such deep grievances should be like this!
A VIP box at the game site, Stern, Stu – Jackson, Joke, Jerry – Colangelo and other top NBA personnel gathered to watch the game.
Seeing the two teams disregarding the script arranged by the league, the jokes were distorted, and he used his sharp voice to express his dissatisfaction with the two teams.
Stern asked Stu-Jackson, “What do you think we should do now?”
Stu-Jackson hesitated, then said, “I think they should continue to be on opposite sides.”
Stuy Jackson’s answer is a standard parody of David Stern’s way of controlling the situation.
Stern listened but was noncommittal.
It’s not that he doesn’t like this answer, he likes it, but he has to worry about the business problems of the league and make money. Adam Silva is too good.
However, Stern thought of the average ticket price of more than 800 dollars tonight, the ticket revenue that can be described as exaggeration, and the one-year regional live broadcast fee of tens of millions of dollars that the Trail Blazers casually signed. Unlike Yao Ming who can only open up the Chinese market, this one from Portland is also very popular in the North American market!
