244. The playoffs, here we come!(1/2)
Originally, the man with the logo caused trouble. Regarding the selection of Liu Xiu and sent him to the Trail Blazers, public opinion pointed at the Lakers. It was Kupchak who did not want the player recommended by the man with the logo.
At that time, Liu Xiu only had a few triple-doubles, scoring over 50 points in a single game. The Lakers, a traditional giant, could withstand this pressure.
But when Liu Xiu became the All-Star vote-winner and became the top favorite for Rookie of the Year again after the March game... things were different.
Now the Trail Blazers will meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, and Liu Xiu faces the old team that has owned him for less than 24 hours... The Grizzlies are back in people's sight!
Liu Xiu scored 50 points or more in a single game for the first time, and his opponent was the Grizzlies.
Under the hype of the media, this series has attracted a lot of attention in North America.
Not to mention the domestic aspect.
Wang Zhizhi represented the Mavericks in the playoffs, but he was only a marginal player.
Yao Ming's side is still struggling in ninth place. It was ninth last year and still ninth this year.
Liu Xiu is the first Chinese player to compete in the playoffs as a core player!
As early as the end of March, when the Trail Blazers locked in a playoff spot, the country had already begun publicizing this matter.
Now that Liu Xiu has won the Player of the Month, the attention has completely exploded!
But at this time, neither the American media nor the domestic media had the opportunity to interview Liu Xiu.
It doesn't matter to the Trail Blazers, they don't care about it.
But Bill Duffy's management team was miserable, and all pressure was concentrated on them.
They responded by wasting no time developing the fadeaway jumper for the playoffs.
In response, Barkley commented on the basketball program on the night of the 19th: "The warden is training hard? What did I hear? Bill Duffy, if you can't lie, don't lie."
After hearing this response, a reporter from Sichuan sprayed directly into the live camera: "Guawazi, you magui!"
No one believed Bill Duffy's words.
Bill Duffy feels so wronged. The warden is right! No one believes the truth these days!
…
Liu Xiu caught the ball from the baseline, turned around, took a fadeaway mid-range shot...hit!
Post-up turnaround and fadeaway jump shot, post-up turnaround and fadeaway jumper...
Liu Xiu's fadeaway jump shot was limited to catch-and-shoot and low post plays, and he didn't show the rest. It was obvious that he hadn't practiced yet.
But this is already very scary, from the 15th to today, a week has passed!
Teammates’ reactions: Wow, I’ve become an immortal again!
The trainers were equally shocked and numb, but they also saw more.
What the system gave Liu Xiu was the complete version of Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper.
It's not just limited to Golden Rooster Independence. His fadeaway jumper and fadeaway jumper are just one of the shooting methods, and they can't even be said to be the most important method.
Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper is not for a higher shot or anything.
Is it possible that some people really think that a guard learns to shoot fade away in order to shoot against the center?
The biggest advantage of Nowitzki's fadeaway jump shot technique is that it requires very little athletic ability such as bounce, bounce speed, and airborne ability.
Without the athletic ability to jump back a long distance like Jordan, Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper can also rely on technical details to get better shooting space and more opportunities to adjust when shooting.
Liu Xiu's height can't be said to be short among point guards. He wears shoes of 190cm and is a little taller. He claims to be 193cm. If his hair is longer, he will be 195cm. Rounded to two meters...
In the past, when Liu Xiu was running to catch and shoot, he was easily covered by guards or small forwards who were taller than him. But now, as long as the height difference is not particularly large, such as within 10 centimeters, the coverage of most outside opponents will be effective.
Greatly reduced!
Recently, during Liu Xiu's training these two days, shooting coach Chris Irving has disappeared. It is said that the Rose Garden Arena is haunted, and the staff can always hear crying outside a bathroom somewhere in the arena.
…
The time came on April 21, 2004. In the morning, after the final preparation training before the playoffs, Liu Xiu conducted the last two sets of fadeaway jumper training.
At 11:25, the system prompt came!
"Congratulations to the host, the fadeaway jumper quick start training card (Nowitzki fadeaway jumper complete version) has completed the training goal. The host has started to fadeaway jumper, and the evaluation has increased to 60."
A slight tingling feeling came. From the 15th to today, he could feel this feeling many times every day for a whole week.
It's a little regretful that it won't be there in the future, but from now on, he can continue to improve this move through simulation training!
Little Blacksmith and Boss Joe's fadeaway jumper, he also wanted to have a matching one.
But there's no need to worry about that. Now that the jumping, speed and other athletic abilities are not good enough, Silver Horn King's is better.
In the future, when your physical condition is sufficient, you can just find a way to learn. Even if you don't learn the method quickly, you can just spend a few more days in the offseason.
…
During lunch time, Liu Xiu was eating a nutritious lunch while looking at the system and thinking about tonight's game.
The Grizzlies came to Portland yesterday, and tonight, the Trail Blazers will usher in their first game of the playoffs.
Since he won the Player of the Month award, he has refused all interviews.
He enjoys the spotlight, but he has no time and doesn't mind not participating in interviews.
As for whether he will offend the media and be blackmailed by the media... he is the warden of the prison team!
In addition to team preparation meetings and preparation training, he spent the rest of his time training on fadeaway jumpers.
Player of the Month Award, as far as he knows, no rookie will win this award in the next 20 years.
Therefore, if a rookie wins this award, it will definitely become something that will be trumpeted every year now that we are about to enter the Internet era.
The award is full of awards and a powerful tool for showing off!
Although there are doubts now, they are irrelevant. The fact that he won the award cannot be questioned.
No player in the Western Conference has played better than him this month.
It’s great to win an award, but it’s also a huge pressure!
If we perform too poorly in the playoffs, we will lose face!
Therefore, you must try your best to complete the quick entry training on fadeaway jumpers before the start of the playoffs, so as to improve your strength a little bit.
Another benefit of the extra training from the afternoon before yesterday to today is that he regained control of his true strength.
All the preparations that can be done are done now, just wait for the game to start.
Of course, time on the competition day cannot be wasted. After taking a nap, we can continue practicing Bajiquan.
But there is something else going on now.
lottery!
In the two games against the Lakers, the healing value increased by more than 11,000, mainly due to the increase of more than 8,000 in the 62-point game.
The original healing value of more than 8,000 that I saved before is already 20,000.
Summary of the season after the regular season. If the playoff threshold is exceeded, 1000 healing points will be awarded for every 1 win ahead of the eighth place. When the gap reaches 5 games, the coefficient is multiplied by 2. When the gap reaches 10 games, the coefficient is multiplied by 3.
, and so on.
After suffering a loss in the Western Conference, the number of wins of the Trail Blazers minus the number of wins of the Nuggets was 10, and they received a total of 30,000 healing points as a reward.
Achieved 12 S-level ratings in the season and received 24,000 healing points as a reward.
Rookie of the Month, 3000 healing value, Player of the Week, 3000 healing value, Player of the Month award with 10,000 healing value.
The amount of healing value in the upper right corner of the system homepage: 93319!
He deliberately ignored this before because he was afraid of getting too excited... and replaced it all with snacks.
He has calmed down now.
After some calculation, due to the increase in physical strength to 90, the duration of simulation training has increased a bit, and the current technical difficulty is higher than before. Now, if it is a pure rest day, the consumption of full strength simulation training is already between 700 and 800 healing value.
Already.
In other words, these more than 90,000 healing points may not be enough during the offseason!
Keep it all to save healing value for the offseason?
Of course it's impossible.
The worst thing is, the simulation training in the summer has not been extracted. In the new season, I have saved enough healing value to extract the results of the simulation training, and then withdraw it, and enjoy the ultimate sourness...
Moreover, you can also get healing value in the playoffs, and there will be the Olympics in this offseason.
After thinking about it, he decided to keep 40,000 and draw 53 times.
With a trace of expectation, he saw one prompt after another to obtain various kinds of food, and his heart was at peace.
"Oh yeah!"
Liu Xiu suddenly roared, startling his teammates and trainers in the restaurant.
Just when I was about to curse, I saw it was the warden...forget it.
To be continued...
