   Chapter 294 294. Passive Soaring Ability Evaluation

   I played a game with all my strength in advance, so naturally I can't waste such a case of fighting to the end.

  The Blazers coaching staff started working overtime for the first time this season, and made a preliminary evaluation and analysis of the players based on the game in the hotel room that night.

   It starts with 6 new players.

Varejao, his mobility is acceptable, not as good as Kwame Brown and McDyess, but faster than Dale Davis. The advantage is that he has good physical strength. He weighs 211 cm and 120 kg. As long as he plays, he will spare no effort on the defensive end. His talent for running, defending, and defending against pick-and-rolls is good; he has more flaws, basically no offensive ability, and his defense is too rough.

   In general, the coaching staff decided that it was quite good to select such a center at the end of the first round.

   Another rookie, Delfino, is not good enough. Compared with the others, he is not competitive, nor does he have the kind of talent that the coaching staff is willing to cultivate regardless of the current strength.

  Lynch Hunter and Jon Barry, the two veterans are very good. Every coach uses praise to describe them. Both of them can be regarded as models of veterans.

Kwame Brown, the coaching staff's embarrassing player, the talent looks better than the extrajudicial madman, he can be at this level after being tossed for three years, and after being tossed for three years, it is still the Blazers this season Best signing of the offseason.

After analyzing the new signings, the Blazers coaching staff found that there was O'Neal hanging on to their appetites in the offseason. They were calm and restrained in trading and signing, and reserved the possibility of trading O'Neal, but they were attracted to them. helped.

   But not every signing is good. The No. 6 pick of the 1997 class, Ron Mersel, who was only 28 years old, was disappointing.

  The 9 old players who stayed in the team, the warden and the butcher, have made great progress. The improvement of the latter's mid-range shooting makes the shooting coach want to quit the arena...

  Although the extrajudicial madman is not talented enough and his learning ability is satisfactory, he cannot stand his physical fitness.

   Momonga, Raheem, and McDyess are all more adaptable to the new roles.

   Flying squirrel waves, Rahim role player endpoint + necessary singles, McDyess pure role player.

   Dale Davis is another year older, and the decline is expected.

  Derrick Anderson is still the same, with all-around technology, can top three positions on the outside, and is best at using his size to deal with opponents at the point guard position.

   Ruben Patterson still performed well. When he was playing, the data was not outstanding, but his role on the field allowed him to sit firmly in the starting position.

   No matter how amazing the Warden's defensive improvement is, and how much pressure the outlaws' defensive talent can put on opponents, Ruben Patterson is still the best perimeter defense on the Blazers.

   In this overtime discussion, analysis and evaluation of the players, Maurice Cheeks finally said: "Whether we can go further this season depends on the warden and the butcher!"

  …

  …

  The Blazers played their last preseason game at home, No. 26, against the Utah Jazz.

   At noon the next day after playing the Kings, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland.

   In the evening, Liu Xiu went to the airport again, and her uncle, aunt, sister, and full moon brother came from China.

   Actually, my aunt wants to stay a few more days, but work is still very important.

  The Trail Blazers have customized several suits. Although the studio has no problem in making them, they have been maintaining detailed communication by phone and email, but before delivery, my aunt was still worried and rushed back.

   And don't want to miss the season opener.

When Qing Er came back, she saw that all the fields had been turned over, and some fields had even been planted with crops. Moreover, her yard excavator was full of dirt, and her mentality exploded. She chased after her unlucky brother and chased Jiutiao Street ...then go to the shovel to wash the excavator.

   After a night of rest, on the 25th, the Blazers prepared for the final preseason game.

   After meeting at 9:00 in the morning, the coaching staff announced two things.

   Delfino was sent to the G League and Ron Mercer was cut.

   The relaxed atmosphere immediately became serious.

   During summer vacation, I always feel that there is still a lot of time to relax and play.

   But suddenly one day I met the teacher and he asked you how many days the summer vacation will end, have you finished your homework?

  Whether you have finished your homework or not, you will always feel the pressure of the new semester coming.

   That's how the Blazers players feel right now.

  Many people feel sorry for Mersel and sound the alarm for themselves.

  Mersell, one of the representative players of the 1997 generation, averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game in his rookie year. At one point, he played a performance that allowed All-Star player Anthony Walker and rookie Pierce to vacate the small forward position for him.

   But just after he turned 28 years old, he had reached the tragic situation of being laid off!

   There is no certain stability.

Everyone has seen Mersel's poor performance in the preseason. Some people have guessed that such a situation will happen, but it came so suddenly and so early, the Blazers players immediately understood - even a local team like the Blazers. , and will not waste money on idle people.

  Mercel signed a non-guaranteed minimum salary and was cut before the start of the regular season, which will not bring losses to the Blazers.

   In addition to Mercer, Delfino was sent to the G League, which also put pressure on players on the fringes of the rotation.

  No one wants to be replaced by Delfino!

   In today's training, the coaching staff saw that the expressions of the players had changed.

   There are fewer giggles, and everyone is more serious and serious.

The coaching staff is very satisfied, and it's not that they don't like the relaxed atmosphere in the team, but even Maurice Cheeks, who is the most indulgent player, feels that it must be serious when it should be serious, such as the start of the season for the entire season. The stage of laying the foundation.

   However, after the team training, the coaching staff discovered something that surprised them.

   Actually there was such a scene yesterday afternoon, but they were too busy to notice.

  Randolph at the end of the first round of the 2001 class is teaching the 2001 No. 1 pick to play!

  Forget it, Randolph was extra patient!

  The new coach was fine, the old coach couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this scene.

   But there have been a lot of weird things happening to their team over the past year, not bad for this one.

   No, didn't they have a wonderful and fierce battle with the Kings two days ago?

   The result became a hot topic. It was the warden's good looks that helped the Trail Blazers' season ticket sales rate reach 60%, becoming the first team in the new season with a 60% season ticket sales rate...

  …

   On the night of October 26, the Blazers defeated the Jazz 96-89, ending the preseason with a 6-1 performance.

   Playing against the Kings, the Trail Blazers saw how powerful an offensive team can be under the new rules.

   Playing against the Jazz, the Blazers learned about the defensive performance of traditional strong teams after gradually adapting to the new regulations.

   This is the first time the Trail Blazers scored less than 100 points after a lapse of 4 games. The front team scored less than 100 points in the first two games at the beginning of the preseason, and then all scored 100 points in the next 4 games.

   That is, the referee whistled very strictly, otherwise the Jazz would have been able to defend better under the leadership of Kirilenko.

  4 blocks in a single game, Liu Xiu feels that the new rules have little effect on Kirilenko! Kirilenko's supplementary defense is not that kind of confrontation.

  The Jazz's new aid, Boozer, has greatly increased the Jazz's internal strength, and the ability to attack the tough inside is much stronger.

   However, the Blazers players discovered something that cheered them up.

   The Jazz have adjusted their defense well under the new rules, but they seem to adjust even better!

  …

  …

  October 27th, at 7am, a handsome young man woke up from his sleep.

  After extracting the simulation training results, the system prompts that it has not stopped and continues to come!

   "Due to changes to the league rules, both ability evaluation and player detection reports are affected."

   Seeing this prompt, Liu Xiu excitedly opened the main interface of the system to see his ability evaluation...

   "Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

   Age: 22 (February 17, 1982)

  Height: 188cm, Armspan 203cm, Weight: 94kg.

   Team: Portland Trail Blazers.

   Ability Rating: 84.

   Athletic Ability: Speed ​​90, Strength 92, Bounce 85, Agility 93, Stamina 91.

  Basic skills: 72 three-pointers, 82 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 93 ball control, 89 pass accuracy, 83 turns, 69 steps, 79 turns, 74 emergency stops…

  Techniques: 88 low post, 79 shots after dribbling, 79 acceleration layups on the go, 69 Euro steps, 67 pull-ups, 62 backs, 76 breakthroughs in rhythm flow, 81 breakthroughs in front of the body…”

  ‘? ’

   Liu Xiu looked at her ability evaluation, and a question mark appeared on her head.

   In addition to the ability evaluation being directly mentioned from 80 to 84, the measurement evaluation has not changed!

   received Liu Xiu's question, the system prompt came.

   "The judgment of the host's athletic ability, basic skills, and technology is based on the host's ability itself, and rule changes will not affect the host's ability itself."

  ‘…Yeah…That is to say, my strength has not changed. It’s just that because of the rule change, my ability can play a greater role on the field? ’

   "Yes."

Liu Xiu accepted this setting, but saw only one rule change, which made him soar from the comprehensive evaluation to the excellent level to close to the first-class... Of course, it will not be because his ability evaluation has improved today, and his strength is stronger than yesterday. stronger in the game.

   'A generation version, a generation of gods! I can't imagine how much improved players like James and Wade will be! Thinking so far, the worst one is Iverson? ’

   Liu Xiu found something!

   Iverson, whose defense has been cut off, has not actually improved much on the offensive end. His breakthroughs are inherently unstoppable, and he has not yet been able to shoot directly from the outside.

   But this rule should still be able to extend the peak of Iverson's offense.

   After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiu opened the team interface with full expectations.

  The detection reports of the teammates that came into view, some made him happy, and some made him annoyed.

   The first name that made him aches was the butcher.

   "Zach Randolph, 23 years old, 206 cm, 125 kg, PF, ability rating 84 (weight effect), offense 86, defense 69, rebounding 92, three-pointer—, mid-range shot 81..."

   This fat man can raise his mid-range shot from 69 to 81 in the summer, spanning two levels, but he can't control his weight well? Liu Xiu was so angry that she got up and ate two pancakes.
