Healing Basketball

   Chapter 101 101. Old fans... how old?

   After all, he studied psychology. Duncan was very good at judging his micro-expressions. He immediately understood what he was doing wrong, and hurriedly bent his knees and lowered his gaze to the same height as Liu Xiu.

  Liu Xiu's mouth twitched, and a series of #s appeared on her forehead...

   Before Duncan could speak, a question mark appeared on his forehead by Liu Xiu's changing expression: Why does this rookie seem even more unhappy?

   "Believe it or not, I jumped up and hit you on the knee?" Liu Xiu's expression was fierce!

  Duncan startled - Knee? So vicious!

   However, in Duncan's mind flashed Liu Xiuzhen's squinting expression when he was angry in the "Rose Garden Prison Riot Incident", Liu Xiu's ruthlessness that can make a nightclub girl **** when he fights, and his contemptuous smile after the fight...

  The master of psychology is sure that this rookie is not really angry.

   So, Duncan reached out and touched Liu Xiu's head...

   "屮! Despicable!"

   Liu Xiu was so frightened that her mother tongue came out! Turn around and run away.

   He was just joking, this facial paralysis actually released weapons of mass destruction!

  Duncan looked at Liu Xiu, who was fleeing for his life, confused.

   He just wanted to say hello to the junior!

  …

   At 8 p.m., the Blazers and Spurs game started.

  The Blazers were not in good shape tonight, and their physical condition was still bad, but they did not give up, but went all out... What if the Spurs were not in good shape?

  Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Even if the probability of appearing is slim, they have to work hard. Only when opportunities come can they be seized...

   It was 9:58, the first three quarters had been played, and the fourth quarter had just begun, but the Blazers did not send their core players.

  Liu Xiu and Randolph were sitting on the bench safely, and their star star roared Tianzun and had already left the court.

   "Butcher, is Duncan dumb?"

   "I think it should be, I never heard him speak."

   "That should be it. I said hello to him before the game, but he didn't speak."

   Liu Xiu and Randolph strongly choreographed Duncan.

  What's wrong, can't you say bad things behind your back if you want to lose?

   To be upset, to seize the opportunity... It also depends on who the opponent is.

   Unlike other teams, the Spurs are in a season, and as long as Duncan plays, there are only a handful of games in poor form.

   Playing next to Duncan, even if the players at the end of the bench play, will be very confident.

  Confidence is very important, whether it is because of yourself or others, with confidence, you can better display your strength.

  No accident, the Trail Blazers, who were in the third game in 4 days and the second game back-to-back on the road, were beaten by the Spurs.

   It was 14-21 in the first quarter and 23-20 in the second quarter. It looked like there was still a chance to struggle in the first half.

   Then, 15-30 in the third quarter... After three quarters, the Blazers trailed the Spurs 52-71 by 19 points.

   By the way, the leading star of the Blazers is not on the court now.

   Before the end of the third quarter, Tianzun roared because he was dunked by Duncan, but he lost a technical foul for no defensive foul, resulting in the point difference being widened to 16 points.

After a while, when the point difference was widened to 20 points, Tianzun cut in to catch Liu Xiu's pass and dunked Duncan one. After regaining his face, he couldn't help but scream again... He was called a second technical offender, and was slapped by him. ejected...

   As a result, the Trail Blazers entered the final quarter with a 19-point difference.

Maurice Cheeks replaces Jeff McGinnis, Matt Carroll, Wesley Persson, Travis Outlaw, Spantania in lineup, surrenders .

   Everyone is saying that O'Neal gave the meat shield center a meal. In this game, Liu Xiu felt that Duncan also gave the inside player a meal.

  The difference is that Duncan's reward is his teammates.

   On O'Neal's side, due to the limited offensive range, it does not bring much help to the power forward teammates. There are few 3D power forwards these days.

But Duncan is different. Duncan has a wider attack range. Malik Rose, a power forward who is not very good in all aspects, can play a good performance next to Duncan. He also received a starting salary of $4.92 million after winning the championship last season. A total of 37 million US dollars in 6 years is a fat about the full middle-class.

   During the game, Liu Xiu already felt that playing against the Spurs was torturous, and when watching the game... even more tortured!

After    and Randolph complained about Duncan behind his back, Liu Xiuzhen didn't watch the game on the court.

   He took a look at Duncan's bankrupt version of talent copied today.

   "The Great Mage:

  The state of the game.

  Copy objects:

   Teammate: Zach Randolph…

Opponent: Tim Duncan, characteristic transformation talent: Stone Buddha (defective), bonus effect: 1. Absolutely stable: the host can always maintain a stable performance in the game; 2. Absolutely calm: the host can always remain calm in the game . "

   Absolutely calm... Liu Xiu thought that Duncan, who had been yelled by Tianzun twice, was always expressionless...

   Finally, at 10:21 pm, the final whistle sounded.

  The Trail Blazers lost 74-90 on the road, ending their three-game winning streak, and their record became 11-6.

  Liu Xiu received a system prompt at the moment the game ended.

   The strange 250 healing value reward... The second loss in my career.

   If you lose the game and play for more than 15 minutes, you will get 50% of the basic reward, which is 250 healing points.

   Liu Xiu played 19 minutes tonight, made 4 of 10 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

   Looking at the facial paralysis who played 31 minutes tonight and scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks on the big screen, Liu Xiu set a small goal - 'The next time we fight, this guy must have a change of expression! ’

  …

  …

   The morning after the Spurs game, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland.

  4 consecutive visitors, 3 wins and 1 loss, quite a good record, this time there are more fans than the last time.

   However, most people did not come to pick up the aircraft because of this record. The Blazers have all entered the playoffs in the past 21 seasons. Although they have not won the championship, they have had more glorious times.

   is for Liu Xiu!

   52 points in a single game!

   In Memphis, they were booed by fans; in Houston and San Antonio, fans were just curious about the rookie Blazers.

   But in Portland, the impact is totally different!

  …

   "Warden, there are many old fans who said that they would not watch the Blazers games again, and they should keep the memory of the Blazers in the last finals. What do you think of this situation?"

   It has been a few days since Liu Xiu got 52 points, and many things can happen in a few days.

   For example, countless local fans in Portland have played against each other.

   For example, basketball fans face to face in street courts and professional basketball halls.

The situation of    is hard to say, but when it comes to spraying, the prisoners who have been at a disadvantage before now have the absolute upper hand!

  The purge fans quarreled and quarreled, and they said, 'I will never watch the Blazers games again, this is not the Blazers of the past'.

   There were a lot of people who echoed, which caused a wave of public opinion in Portland. At first, even the management of the Blazers panicked.

  Although the boss doesn't care about profit and loss, the tickets are selling well!

   You can make money every year, but at least get the tickets to sell well, so that the boss has a good face.

  In case those old fans don't come to watch the game, ticket sales will be affected... But the development of things surprised the Blazers management...

  The Blazers management is worried about this, and the local media is naturally taking this hype.

   There are rumors in Portland and even Oregon that the Trail Blazers ticket sales are going to collapse, the market is going to collapse…

   Oregon State TV requested an interview immediately after the Trail Blazers returned to Portland.

After    Liu Xiu communicated with the press officer, at 3:00 pm, he accepted an exclusive interview with Oregon State TV at the Rose Garden Arena.

The reporter's first question is very sharp.

   Views, treatment, this question, the current situation of public opinion, Liu Xiu knows that if he does not answer cautiously, it will definitely cause a storm of public opinion again.

   Liu Xiu thought about it carefully, and replied, "Old fans, how old are you?"

  “???”

   The reporter has a question mark in his head.

"When I first got home in the morning, I saw a 10-year-old boy on the news saying he would never watch our games again... The money that the minors spend is their parents, right? It's up to them whether they watch our games or not. Not them, but their parents, and they have to wait until they grow up and start earning their own money."

  “???”

  Reporter: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here to listen to great truths!

  …

   Liu Xiu easily dealt with the reporter's difficulties.

   Aside from his personal thoughts, he didn't take this matter to heart as far as the follow-up development of the public opinion he learned from the press officer, "I don't watch the Blazers games anymore" appeared.

   In the past few days, Portland and Oregon have been hyping this up. Then, in just a few days, the Blazers sold more than 2,000 season tickets.

   Every time the hype is stronger, the next few hours are the peak sales period for single-game tickets or season tickets.

   This made John Nash, the general manager of the Blazers, want to go to the media to hype it up.

   Therefore, the Blazers management team has no intention of 'refuting rumors' at all.

  …

  …

  The Trail Blazers got a two-day break after coming back from 4 consecutive games.

   Another night passed. On December 3, the Blazers began to prepare for the next game.

   Tomorrow's opponents are not strong. Currently, the Bulls, the second-to-last team in the East, this morning, the Trail Blazers only had two training sessions, one offense and one defense, and the training ended at 10:30.

   There will be a game tomorrow. Generally speaking, a large number of Blazers players will choose to practice extra.

   But this time, only a handful of players stayed for extra training.

   The competition is too dense!

   After this wave of consecutive away games in 6 days and 4 battles, everyone consumed a lot.

   Liu Xiu didn't have the patience to watch the Bulls' scouting report and video clips after the team's training.

   It is not because the Bulls are weak that he will not underestimate any opponent. In any game, he will want to do his best.

   but pure boredom…

   When he watched the game as a fan, he knew that the schedule was very dense. After he really became a professional player, he knew what kind of emotional changes such a dense schedule would bring to the players.

   He doesn't have to worry about the physical consumption. Simulation training can maximize the recovery of his physical consumption.

   But the mental fatigue is deepening day by day.

  Fortunately, he doesn't have to think about maintaining his state, he doesn't have to think about training... etc. When he feels tired, he just... just depends on the training of his teammates, how interesting it is!

   No, Randolph is working on an extended post-up technique—turnover jumper.

Randolph's rollover jumper has been practiced well. Although the training movements are not fast and the details are not very well controlled, the fluency is very high. The most important thing is that the shooting force can be controlled, that is, effective training. The rate is very good.

   As expected of a genius!

  Randolph's post-up singles have a first-class level. As long as the direction is correct and the details are well controlled, it will definitely expand quickly.

   In just a few days, Randolph has reached the level he was when Liu Xiu showed a low-post turnaround jump shot that day, and it may be even stronger. It is by no means an ordinary genius.

  Physical strength, patience and effort when trying to learn something, talent, toughness. Randolph has been able to average 5 minutes per game in his rookie season to become a near-class power forward. These qualities are the key.

After   Randolph practiced two sets of 20 **** in total, he saw Liu Xiu who was onlookers and said proudly: "Warden, my low-post rollover jumper has not lost to you!"

  Liu Xiu nodded, moved his body a bit, came to the low position, and greeted the trainer to make basic defensive moves... No nonsense, start showing!

  Randolph regretted what he said just now...

  Now...don't think about now.

  Randolph looked at Liu Xiu's low back flip jumper and scolded the street directly!

  Liu Xiu's back flip jumper is quick and smooth...and handsome!

   Handsome, let’s not mention this first, Randolph is sad!

   Damn Chris Owen! Actually changed the original so handsome jump shot into a tumbler bounce jump circle!

   In terms of fluency, Randolph does not lose to Liu Xiu.

   This is determined by talent + suitability, Randolph has both.

  Liu Xiuneng simulated the training overnight to achieve the level of smooth movement, and Randolph spent a few days practicing for an hour or two every day.

   But what about the speed?

'Speed' is not just about moving fast, fluency and rhythm must be maintained, but also the power of the shot... The technique has never been practiced for a single action, it needs to be considered from initiation to completion of this technique Every shot.

  Talan Fatty practiced low-post turnaround shooting, and it took more than half a month to reach a level that could be used routinely.

The low-post back-up turnaround jump shot is much more difficult than the low-post back-up turnaround shot. Randolph's goal is to make the turn-over jump shot from the low post back-up turnaround jumper before 2004. Practice both fluency and speed. Tool.

   Yes, he can practice two hours of back play in the morning, and continue to play for 40 minutes in the evening.

   Give himself a month, and Randolph already feels that the time is a little tight.

  But now, this item in front of me...

   A few days ago, this guy was about the same level as he is now!

   Now this guy is at the level he expected him to be in a month!
