289. Life is really unpredictable (more updates for monthly votes over 1800)

"A rush-and-press type defense will have trouble?"

October 8th is a rest day after the training camp. Tomorrow we will prepare for the preseason, and the preseason will start the day after tomorrow.

In the morning, the outlaws were invited to Liu Xiu's house. After exercising, they followed the warden to the fields, scattering seeds, watering the fields, and chatting with the warden.

When Liu Xiu talked about the new rules that might cause players like Iverson to collapse on the defensive end, the lawless fanatics were surprised.

Iverson received the sixth most votes for the Defensive Player of the Year in the 2002-03 season, with a scoring percentage of 2.75%. He also received the votes for the Defensive Player of the Year last season.

Iverson's defensive effect has always been good. Although it is based on team defense, it is not bad, but since the defense is good, it is good and has been recognized by professionals.

But the outlaws were surprised only because they had never thought about this before. The warden said this and he agreed.

Immediately, the outlaw maniac felt a little pained: "Warden, I am also a rushing and pressing defensive player! Hey, if I had known that I would learn more from Darius in team defense."

"That's right!" Liu Xiu clapped his hands, "If I had known we had kept him and sent you away, he would be more suitable for the current defensive environment."

"..." The outlaw gritted his teeth and said, "Warden, are you serious?"

"No, I just want to make you angry."

“!!!!”

The Outlaw is now even more healed than before!

After a while, the outlaw maniac recovered, blocked the memory in his mind, and asked: "Warden, what should I do? My strength is much worse than that of the priest, and defense is my only advantage.

This may be gone now!”

Liu Xiu asked: "How old are you?"

The outlaw responded: "I turned 20 on the 18th last month. Didn't you bring me a gift?"

"That's right! You are a high school player. You have just turned 20 years old in your second year. He is about to turn 28. Can't you compare with the progress of such an old player? You just need to improve faster than him on the defensive end.

"

"I know!" The outlaw maniac immediately became happy, and suddenly he thought of something: "Warden, you said that for high school students, James' defense will be greatly affected, right?"

James?

Liu Xiu remembered a famous scene from James.

In the 2007 Finals, James was beaten when guarding Parker and was beaten when guarding Ginobili. Mike Brown finally asked him to guard Bowen.

After that, James began to learn from the experience and focus on defense, and in the 2008-09 season, he was finally selected for the first defense.

Liu Xiu thought about this and discovered that James is also a very hard-working player!

Liu Xiu responded: "I'm looking forward to playing against him in the new season... By the way, Madman, doesn't this mean it will be harder for you to guard against him?"

"..."

The outlaw maniac feels warm inside again...

Finally, after finishing the seed sowing work in a field, the outlaw maniac sat on the edge of the field with a sense of accomplishment.

"Warden, what do you think our new season will be like?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just training, I already feel the uncertainty of the new season."

Liu Xiu looked at the outlaw maniac drinking water gurglingly, but he didn't expect that this high school student was quite sensitive.

He knows how the NBA will develop in the future, but he also cannot understand the specific details of the gradual development of the NBA down to a player.

but……

"Yeah, full of uncertainty!"

Liu Xiu repeated the words of the outlaw.

But what the lawless maniac felt when he heard it was completely different from how he felt about it!

There was no fear or uneasiness in Liu Xiu's tone, but full of expectation and curiosity!

If this is not igniting at all, the lawless fanatic feels that he is igniting.

After resting for a while, Liu Xiu said: "Okay, the rest time is over, there is still a piece of land over there, let's go grow spinach!"

The outlaw stood up and responded: "Okay, I've already rested...wait! Warden, why do I have to help you with farm work?"

"You don't want to? Then I'll call that Brazilian rookie. The people there should be very good at farming." Liu Xiuji was very good at farming.

But this time it didn’t work out well!

The outlaw maniac complained: "Warden, I believe many of their people are good at farming, but maybe they are not growing radishes and spinach."

"What kind of thing?"

"I can't say that I will be cheated..."

…

…

On October 9, the New Orleans Hornets came to Portland, and the Trail Blazers also began preparation training for the Hornets.

Liu Xiu received the news from Bill Duffy that the Rockets and Lakers have arrived in BJ on the 12th and 15th, and will play the NBA's first China games in BJ and Shanghai respectively.

He is a little envious...

Bill Duffy was also invited by the league to discuss the China game.

After discussion, it was decided that the battle between the warden and the giant would be postponed to next time.

Let Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi test the waters first.

There is also the issue of strength. Although Kobe shouted at the media day that his goal is a championship, everyone can see that it can only be one goal.

The Lakers and Rockets are in the same level of strength.

Another thing is that Liu Wei tried out for the Kings, and Zhu Fangyu was invited to participate in a trial with Barcelona in La Liga.

In the former, it was Liu Wei's performance in the CBA that generated some interest from the Kings.

The latter was when Liu Xiu was watching the Olympic final between Argentina and Lithuania. The ticket he got happened to be next to the former Barcelona superstar Gasol. He once talked with Zhu Fangyu about studying in Europe.

Just mentioned it to Gasol.

Gasol responded like a doormat. Liu Xiu felt that there was no chance and planned to help Zhu Fangyu find a solution later.

Among the three apprentices, Du Feng has the worst talent, and he can't pull him away even if he insists on it. Going to a higher-level league may hurt his self-confidence, but when Zhu Fangyu just turned 20 years old two years ago, he was already in the CBA

Averaged 20+ per game.

Liu Xiu learned about the situation in the national team. Zhu Fangyu joined the national team training team in 2001, but in 2002, last year, and this year, the progress became smaller and smaller. This is not what a growing player in his early 20s should have.

.

When his talent has not reached its limit and Zhu Fangyu himself is working very hard, it is a problem of the environment - the pressure of the game is not enough, and the team does not even need him to become stronger, and there is no direction for improvement.

But going to La Liga, an environment like that, is different.

Now that you have accepted a disciple, you still have to let the disciple experience the hardships.

Anyway, the second apprentice's eyes lit up after hearing this. He is not the old man who will rest on his club's results in the future.

But unexpectedly, when Liu Xiu returned to BJ, Gasol sent an email asking for Zhu Fangyu’s game video, agent contact information, personal contact information, etc...

How to operate it later was the second apprentice's own business. Liu Xiu didn't worry about it too much. Anyway, he found a way. Whether he wanted to take it and whether he was good at it depends on his personal practice.

As for the third apprentice who talks the least and works the most, he is the most talented in basketball among the three apprentices, but he is still too young. It is good to practice in the CBA first, and then discuss with him next year to see what kind of career he wants to take.

direction development.

It's not a big deal, so just help if you can, just like how Yao Ming helped the warden.

This is how the inheritance of basketball comes about.

…

On October 10, 2004, early this morning, the crowd outside the Rose Garden Arena was already in a crowded mode.

The Trail Blazers' first game of the season! Although it's only a preseason game, Trail Blazers fans have been waiting for a long time. They all want to become Hua Tsai's fans and sing that song...

58 wins, being selected to the third team in his rookie season, being named the Rookie of the Year, scoring 42 points against the Lakers in the second round, defeating the Dream Team in the Olympics... Everything makes fans eagerly await the new season.

Especially this one...

In the huge poster above the arena door, Liu Xiu is in the middle. His figure makes Trail Blazers fans unbelievable!

This is a fake warden, they must go to the scene to see the real thing!

Unfortunately, the first game of the preseason is not a game against the Big Four Lakers, and there is no live broadcast in the United States.

There is a live broadcast on Chaoting Channel, but it cannot be seen in the United States.

As a result, the average ticket price was US$15, but the stand tickets were sold for US$50 from scalpers outside the arena.

After hearing the news, the general manager of the Trail Blazers was heartbroken and went to report it to his boss. The boss adjusted his suit and asked: "John, do you think I look good in this suit? It's the rose given to me by Jess's family."
