Healing Basketball

   Chapter 200 200. The battle for the best rookie begins!

  The game ended in February, and at the beginning of March, the Blazers ushered in a two-day break.

   On March 1st, the Blazers team rested.

   In fact, when I return to Portland on the 28th and play the game on the 29th, the Celtics game should really be counted as the end of the series.

   After the game at home, you don’t need to take a plane the next day. You can do nothing and just stay at home. This is called rest.

   But Liu Xiu couldn't rest. He was called by the coaching staff to the arena to discuss tactical adjustments.

   were called together with core players or veterans such as Randolph, Momo, McDyess, and Rahim.

   Originally did not intend to play Raheem, Maurice Cheeks felt that Raheem would not accept the arrangement of being a substitute and a functional substitute.

  I didn’t expect Rahim to agree!

  Although it is an accident, of course it must be used well.

   Adjusting the style of play again is a bit of a hassle.

   But the huge power boost that Raheem's strength brings to the rotation stage... No trouble is a problem.

   However, Raheem also bluntly told Maurice Cheeks in private that he just accepted such an arrangement at the moment, and will definitely apply for a trade after the end of this season.

   But it's also much better than not using Raheem, or using Raheem but Raheem's possession and shooting power further affect the team's strength.

McDyess accepted the fact that his athletic ability had been destroyed, and changed from a flying style to a pure role player with solid basic shooting skills; Raheem accepted the arrangement as a substitute at the peak of his career. A play that slashes stats but doesn't help you win...

   The two made Liu Xiu feel what is called a 'model of professional players'.

   By noon, the league announced last week's Player of the Week awards and last month's Best of the Month awards.

   Player of the Week.

  East: Big Z of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won all 3 games last week. Big Z averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

  West: Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. The Lakers won 3 wins and 1 loss last week. Bryant averaged 30.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

   Player of the Month.

  East: Kidd of the Nets, 8 wins and 4 losses, averaged 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals per game.

  West: Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, 9 wins and 4 losses, averaged 25.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals per game.

   Rookie of the Month.

  East: James of the Cavaliers, averaging 21.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

  West: Anthony of the Nuggets, averaging 27.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

  …

   discussed the tactical adjustment with the coaching staff and teammates all morning, and at noon Liu Xiu took time to watch the official live broadcast.

   Tears can't stop dripping...

  Anthony is the 3rd Rookie of the Month! Exceeded his warden's 2 times!

   After three seconds of Gu Ying's self-pity, Liu Xiu made clear the next goal.

   In March and April, you have to grab the best rookie of the month in order to compete for the best rookie!

   A once-in-a-lifetime award, of course, has to be rushed.

   It's still a matter of data!

  If he has an extraordinarily strong performance, like in November and December, then the average per game will be fine.

   Otherwise, there is no way to compete for the Rookie of the Month with a player like Anthony, who is leading the entire class in points per game. The average of 27.2 points per game in February was outrageous, and only Iverson scored higher.

  The rookies ranked in the top ten in scoring per game, and the last time was Allen Iverson.

  As long as it is troublesome, the troubles will go away quickly.

   clarified the solution, Liu Xiu didn't bother about this and had lunch.

   Of course you have to eat your own better lunch…

   While eating, he looked at the system and sorted out the direction he wanted to strengthen next.

   Originally, he had something to worry about.

  His style of play is very physical.

   Fishing breakout acceleration, Eurostep, overweight…

  Although there is a 'functional repair' function of simulated training, many of his play moves are the kind that are prone to injuries during the performance.

   Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of what happens.

   But now, there is a chance to get the buff of "Phoenix", and this concern may be resolved!

  The third shard, the channels that can be obtained, one is a task, and the other is a lottery.

   He is not in a hurry, just wait for the next match against Pierce. Usually, the lottery draws are naturally the best, but they can't be drawn.

  Before this, you must work hard to improve your strength and strive to complete the task next time.

   This time, if Raheem didn't come up with a miraculous effect in the third quarter and lead him to the warden to score, he is actually not very likely to score higher than Pierce.

  Basic skills training can't be left behind. In terms of technology, it is Bearded's forward change of direction breakthrough, Boss Joe's pull-up jumper, Kobe's back-flip jumper, European step-by-step...and one more.

   How to integrate the iron mountain of Bajiquan into the back strike.

   Directly use Tieshan's action, a proper foul action.

   And once or twice is fine, more than a few times, malicious fouls are absolutely inevitable.

   But the power-generating technique, the adjustment of the body's power output structure... It is really suitable for the back play of a player with a tonnage advantage like him.

  …

   After eating, Liu Xiu reorganized the direction of the next technical simulation training.

  This afternoon he is going to finish the last 1 day strength training task of 'Strength +1 (Advanced) (Training)' and use it.

It has been confirmed before that the strength is on his side. Apart from gaining weight, it is difficult to rely on training to continue to improve strength. It is only necessary to assist physical training, but the role of auxiliary physical training has become less and less obvious. With Baji After the punch, it is less necessary to keep it, so use it up.

   The first 5 days of training tasks are just one day away. After practicing countless times, he is familiar with every aspect of the training tasks.

After resting for a while, Liu Xiu went to the gym, and when she passed the training ground, she saw the extrajudicial fanatic who was training with Raheem, oh, yes, and Miles, who had to rub off on teaching guidance at any time. .

   The coaching staff did not arrange training this afternoon, it was a real rest day, which means that the three of them were practicing extra.

   Seeing Liu Xiu coming, the three of them said hello. During the training, Liu Xiu said hello and watched for a few minutes before going to the gym for training.

   is nothing to see, it's the three of them discussing how their characters can strengthen their playstyle.

  6 hours, 6 groups per hour, 6 minutes of intensive strength training for each group, the 6-hour training task needs to be completed within one day, and this is the training task on the last day.

   At 9 o'clock in the evening, after a busy afternoon + half a night, Liu Xiu finally completed the last day's strength training task!

   "The host uses the attribute card: strength +1 (advanced) (training), the training task has been completed, congratulations to the host, the strength has increased from 91 to 92."

   After using the attribute card, as before, there is no specific feeling.

   But when I pulled the butterfly machine, I could feel the obvious improvement!

  Liu Xiu was very excited, but also had a hint of sadness - the name of tank point guard seems to be inescapable!

  …

  …

   On March 2, the Trail Blazers began tactical training that was adjusted due to the addition of Raheem.

   The changes are not very big, the playing time of small forwards and the playing time of power forwards in the rotation stage have been adjusted.

  Momong squirrels and Harrington's backup lineup are already very fierce, and now there is a Raheem, Morris-Cheeks said that he is afraid of himself!

   The starting lineup is not necessarily a strong rotation lineup.

In the 10-minute intra-team training game from 2:00 to 2:18 this afternoon, the B team of Momo, Wesley Person, Harrington, Raheem and Dale Davis, put Liu Xiu, The A team of Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and McDyess was beaten, and the B team defeated the A team 24-17.

   Liu Xiu and Randolph were very fierce while sitting and fighting, and Team B couldn't prevent them from attacking.

   But when three or four people from Team B squatted under the basket, Liu Xiu and Randolph were in trouble.

   At this time, if the extrajudicial fanatics, Ruben Patterson, and McDyess can't make a mid-to-long shot, Team A has nothing to do.

Relatively speaking, Team B has more choices. There are three players who can play singles, and both of their main controllers can shoot long distances by themselves. Rahim's career hit rate is 40% from mid-range and 40.6% from long range. His mid-range shooting percentage and his ability to respond are also excellent.

   After the training game, Momoko said to Liu Xiu sternly, "You don't have to be sad, Warden, you are better for stability. The starting lineup is yours, hahahaha..."

  Liu Xiu was in a hurry when he heard the words, and said to Randolph next to him: "Butcher, the Kings have lost three straight, lost 12 games, and won't be able to get 70 wins!"

  “???”

   Losing the team's scrims, Randolph was a little depressed.

   Watching Momonga babble in front of the warden, Randolph was here to see the fun.

  I didn't expect that this day, killing Momonga would turn around and fire at him!

  Randolph said angrily: "I know! Humph! Webber will come back next game. When Webber comes back, it is possible for them to end the regular season with a 24-game winning streak!"

   Currently, the Kings record is 46 wins and 12 losses.

The Kings' best record since the All-Star break was 45-9, but since the Los Angeles media broke that Webber was fully recovered or even stronger, and the Kings revealed that their best player was about to return, the Kings won one game, and the next It's a three-game losing streak.

  Brad Miller and Peja's performance were obviously affected.

  Brad Miller hasn't scored in double figures in recent games. Originally, he averaged 11 shots per game. In these 4 games, the average number of shots was only 5.

   Unlike Brad Miller, Peja's shot numbers have surged in recent games, averaging 23.5 shots per game in 4 games, but his hit rate has plummeted.

   After the Kings' three-game losing streak last night, the record was tied by the Pacers.

  Randolph was watching the situation of the Kings intermittently. After seeing the news, he was very stunned - why did it suddenly collapse?

  I checked the Internet, and it was revealed that after Webber came back, Brad Miller would be put on the bench, and the Kings also stated that 'our best player is coming back'.

  Randolph really understood these two...

Brad Miller worked hard to help the team play the best half-time record in team history, but he was playing as a substitute; Peja was expected to compete for MVP this season and continued to perform well, but the team still put another A person is considered the strongest.

   Who can be happy?

   Randolph's thinking is very clear when it comes to letting other teams go - what is the brain of the Kings management team? At this time, it is much better to say nothing than to be silly!
