Chapter 1032: 1032. Peak Cheeks
On November 11th, a very bachelor day, Liu Xiu left Portland on the "Rose Bay Prison". Back to back, they got two days of rest. They had a day of rest yesterday, and now they are going to Orlando. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow they will go to the South Coast.
Back-to-back away games.
He chose a seat by the window to read the newspaper. The news during the winning streak always made people feel happy.
His data, averaging 28.83 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.83 steals, and 0.67 blocks per game, shooting 54.6% from the field, 46.1% from three-point range, averaging 3 three-pointers per game, and making 90% of his free throws, will satisfy the 180 club.
requirements.
No one thought that after a season in which he averaged a triple-double per game, his statistics in the new season would be so... plain.
Combined with his six-game winning streak at the beginning, although his statistics have declined, his evaluation of his playing style has actually improved.
You must know that at the peak of Big O's statistics, one of the rebounds and assists was always in double figures per game, and the other one was at least 9 per game. It was clear that he wanted to get a triple-double.
Here, after the opening game, people thought he was going to start averaging a triple-double again.
Unexpectedly, he never reached double figures in rebounds or assists in the next five games.
In terms of his personal performance, the only thing that has been criticized by the media and anti-fans is that he commits too many fouls, averaging 3.2 fouls per game.
Looking at the entire league, it is not particularly outstanding, ranking 19th.
But among the top 40 in fouls per game, there are only two outside players, Liu Xiu and Baron Davis.
The comment made by the anti-fan is very interesting. He saw it when he visited the forum, and all of them liked it - saying that on the defensive end, he only uses his strong body to bully people.
Liu Xiu now saw such remarks again in the newspapers.
He thought about what he saw while browsing the forum last night, and he didn't know whether to be happy or aggrieved. His fans had learned to 'surround the king to save the general'.
Fans have collected a lot of James' defensive highlights, which are rougher than his defensive moves and much less skillful. He mainly relies on physical conditions to defend.
But James averaged 1.8 fouls per game, the lowest among All-Defensive Team candidates.
As a busybody, Liu Xiu went to find out where the earliest idea that he relied solely on his body for defense to bully people came from. In the end, he found out that it was a comment made by fans of Hinrich, who is known as the "ball-blind evaluator"...
Hinrich fans, Liu Xiu can understand, Hinrich has poor athletic ability.
In the end, classmate KING was innocently shot... but it was very interesting!
As for the team, they have also received good reviews, averaging 109.83 points per game, conceding 94.5 points per game, and a winning margin of over 15 points.
However, at the end of the news, Liu Xiu was too lazy to read. The media would always mention the Spurs' regular season performance last season...
…
At 4:30 pm on the 12th, the Trail Blazers will face off against the Magic at Amway Arena in Orlando.
Howard played 40 minutes tonight, and with the help of Turkoglu, he made 8 of 11 shots from the field!
The Trail Blazers tried the shark-cutting tactic. As a result, the opponent's free throw percentage exceeded 60%, and the offensive rebounds were not good enough. They grabbed 8 offensive rebounds, most of which were passed to Turkoglu to reorganize the offense.
Suppressed the Trail Blazers in the third quarter.
The score was 31 to 30 in the first quarter, 26 to 19 in the second quarter, and 26 to 17 in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the Magic led the Trail Blazers by 17 points, 83 to 66!
In the final quarter, the situation suddenly changed. Relying on Howard's offensive rebounds, the Magic made 10 of 19 three-pointers in the first three quarters, which was astonishingly accurate.
In the fourth quarter, Howard's offensive rebounds were still strong, but his teammates couldn't make any shots. They made 0 of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter...
The Trail Blazers began to shrink their defense, and Liu Xiu made continuous counterattacks. The opponent seemed frightened and fouled him continuously.
In a single quarter, he made 3 of 4 shots and 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 15 points.
In addition to Randolph's 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Ray Allen's 8 points, Hill's 6 points, Kwame Brown's 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks... the Trail Blazers surged 40 points in the final quarter and defeated the Magic.
Team scoring is limited to 19 points!
Liu Xiu had 27 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Ray Allen had 20 points, Randolph had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Outlaw had 20 points and 5 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks...
…
106 to 102, the Trail Blazers reversed the Magic in the last quarter and started their 7th consecutive victory!
…
Early the next morning, Liu Xiu got up early, had breakfast, and went to the gym to practice boxing...
After lunch, the team left Orlando and headed to Miami.
On the plane, Liu Xiu took a look at the mission triggered by playing against the Magic last night.
"Four major centers:...Those who have been defeated in the first meeting: Amar'e Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, and those to be defeated...Mission reward: 20,000 healing points."
It didn't trigger when we played against the Suns. It seems that the most scoring tyrant among the so-called "new four centers" is not worthy of being the target of the task trigger due to his circumstances this year.
However, after the mission was triggered, Little Overlord was still included in the list of objects that had been defeated in the first battle.
This task must have something to do with Kwame Brown.
Some experts commented that Bully should not be included in the voting list, but by coincidence, Kwame Brown happened to be fifth in the vote.
Kwame Brown played very hard last night, but it can be seen that Kwame Brown is not a beast's opponent one-on-one. It is not a 'one-on-one' one-on-one. In that case, Kwame Brown has a higher probability of winning.
Some.
What I'm talking about is the ability of the two of them to play an independent role in the game.
Kwame Brown needs to be in a team to develop stronger abilities and is part of the system, similar to Duncan.
And Beast has the same feeling as Garnett on the defensive end - supporting the defensive system alone.
Recalling last night's game, Liu Xiu felt that it was really dangerous. This mission almost disappeared as soon as it was triggered.
But he also learned something from the Magic's style of play. Tegklu's "card dealing" ability reminded him of the future Green Vampire of the Warriors.
Moreover, Tegeklu himself has first-class scoring ability, with a three-point shooting rate of 40% all year round.
Since the main goal is to attack three-pointers, Van Gundy's three-point tactics are not simply four people shooting and one person grabbing. Some things are indeed worthy of reference.
The team's current small-ball tactics are still very different from what he originally thought. Now they use three-pointers as a threat to create opportunities to attack the frame and score from the wings. Three-pointers are still a 'auxiliary ability'.
He analyzed a wave and felt that such a deviation in the creation of the tactical system was due to his insufficient three-point ability...
Ray Allen's three-point shooting should be no worse than Thompson's. In comparison, he is disadvantaged by his age, but he has more experience.
That's his problem.
He is not in a hurry. He cannot become fat in one go. Ray Allen began to adjust his playing style earlier than in the original time and space. He is 33 years old and is in his prime. It is estimated that he will be able to maintain his condition for 3-4 years. He still has time.
After arriving in Miami, there was no training in the afternoon. At midnight, the team went from the hotel to the American Airlines Center to warm up and prepare for the game.
…
"Dwyane Wade, 26 years old, 193 cm (?), 100 kg, SF/PG, ability evaluation 97 (peak), offense 98, defense 92, passing 90... averaged 34 points, 5 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game
2 steals, 1.5 blocks...shooting rate 51%...long two-point shooting rate 42%, averaging 3.2 goals per game..."
At 6:10 in the evening, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the American Airlines Center stadium.
I took a look at Wade’s latest player detection report, it’s really strong!
Except for the three-point shooting rate of less than 30%, there are almost no flaws on the offensive end, and I have perfected the mid-range shot... By the way, there are also free throws, which are still so unstable. The free throw shooting rate so far this season is 72%.
However, Liu Xiu remembers that Wade's mid-range shooting relied heavily on physical fitness. After his physical condition declined, his mid-range shooting performance became worse and worse.
The deep South Coast cheekbones and mid-range shooting habits are similar to those of the West Coast greats.
The difference is that the master's side is not willing to create better shooting opportunities in singles, while the cheek side is not good at creating shooting opportunities from mid-range.
The same thing is that both of them are very confident in their jumping speed.
Liu Xiu analyzed the player detection report and scouting report for a while. The home team's entrance ceremony was also over. Liu Xiu went to say hello to Wade and Marion.
The weather has cleared up, the rain has stopped, and Wade feels like he can do it again!
He can feel his progress. Compared with last season before his serious injury, many of his skills have improved qualitatively.
The explosive power and explosive speed are a bit weaker, but they are still the best in the league.
In the international arena, because there are three seconds of defense, it is not as good as the warden, and the cheeks are recognized.
When he returns to the NBA, he is confident that he will be better than Liu Xiu!
As for Marion, his expression is more miserable than last year, and his smile is uglier than last year...
Originally, he wanted to get to know the No. 2 pick, but the opponent was leaning against the opposite basket with his hands protecting his crotch, as if he was keeping strangers away, so Liu Xiu didn't try to get into trouble.
If the other party doesn't want to talk to anyone, why bother finding them?
Liu Xiu felt that Marion was miserable. It didn't matter that he was sent to the Heat. He also got a swingman with the No. 2 pick. It didn't matter that the No. 2 pick was strong. However, the No. 2 pick was currently among the top five picks.
The one who scored the worst also took away a lot of playing time and performance opportunities from Marion.
30 years old, with All-Star ability, in his prime, to suffer like this is really sad.
At 6:28, Liu Xiu received a system prompt to copy talents. He chose Ray Allen’s full-health ‘Quick Shot’ and Wade’s full-health ‘Strongest First Step’.
Although Wade's skills have improved a bit compared to the Olympics, Liu Xiu knows from looking at his talent that Wade's progress is still based on his physical fitness, and breakthroughs are still the basis of Wade's skills.
The talent has been copied well, and the prompts for triggering the ‘Marksman’ and ‘Prison Kill’ are also here. When playing against Wade, what he is most looking forward to is triggering the ‘Prison Kill’!
The starting lineups of the two teams came on the court. The Blazers' starting lineup was still the same, while the Heat's starting lineup was: Chalmers, Wade, Beasley, Marion, and Haslem.
At 6:30, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Kwame Brown defeated Haslem to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.
Liu Xiu caught the ball and advanced quickly. After reaching the frontcourt, he passed the ball straight to the inside. Randolph took one step after receiving the ball and relied on Marion to turn around and hit the hook!
The Heat's defensive ability in the first round was mediocre. Liu Xiu already knew that the opponent's points per game were not high and did not exceed 100. This was not because of good defense, but because of a good rhythm.
When the Heat attacked, Wade advanced to the frontcourt and saw Liu Xiu guarding half a step inside the top arc free throw line. He excitedly quickened his pace and rushed to Liu Xiu. Suddenly, he saw Liu Xiu's waist... Wade hurriedly
Protect the ball, but this time the ball missed.
