143. I am a flying pig, I speak for the warden(1/2)
The adjustment of the coaching staff during the official timeout surprised Liu Xiu!
Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!
Liu Xiu felt like someone was putting a turtle shell on his back!
And even forced him into the sewer!
Forced by the opponent's power and force majeure, Liu Xiu chose to enter the sewer.
Liu Xiu didn't want to admit it, but in the sewer, even the air seemed to be sweet...
In the second half of the second quarter, the Blazers' style of play was to let Liu Xiu get assists.
The strategy used is still that of Little Flying Squirrel taking the main control and Liu Xiu assisting the control.
Originally, Maurice Cheeks just thought what Liu Xiu said was interesting, and he couldn't think of a good way to deal with tonight's game. He decided to try to imitate the Cavaliers' style of play and let the Cavaliers find a way to deal with it on their own.
'Myself', then you don't have to have a headache.
But after playing a few rounds, Maurice Cheeks really became interested in this style of play.
If the core of the auxiliary control is Jeff McGinnis, forget it, the potential has been exhausted long ago.
But if Liu Xiu can fight, it will definitely be different!
This is the warden!
Together, Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitcha can adjust their playing style in this direction when they are in the second team.
However, the focus will definitely have to be adjusted in the subsequent games, and the singles of Little Flying Squirrel will still be the main focus.
After all, they are in the Western Conference, and their real competitors are the strong teams in the Western Conference playoffs. It is really rare that the power forwards of these strong teams have such poor defense as Boozer.
Give Garnett or Duncan a big Z and they will immediately take off.
Liu Xiu's scoring comprehensiveness is not good enough, and he doesn't have to worry about defensive defense from the outside. It is still difficult to fight when he encounters an inside line with strong defense.
When Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchar were discussing this, Liu Xiu, who was playing well on the court, suddenly received the news that the two coaches had been cured...
In the second half of the second quarter, Liu Xiu got two more assists. In the third quarter, Liu Xiu did not continue to play, but did not come on until the second half of the third quarter.
During this period, the Trail Blazers made tactical adjustments on both ends of the offense and defense, and in the first half of the third quarter, Randolph was allowed to practice singles against Boozer, his long-time rival.
In the second half of the third quarter, Liu Xiu came on and got two assists.
As for rebounding, the Trail Blazers coaching staff is not worried. Their Warden averaged 6.7 rebounds in 27 minutes per game, ranking first among rookies.
As long as they do a good enough job on the defensive end, Liu Xiu will have no shortage of rebounds, and when Liu Xiu is one or two rebounds away, he will always be particularly active in offensive rebounds...
At this time, we have to mention the gap between the coaches of the two teams.
Paul Silas is a coach who is very good at developing rookies, and he is also very good at developing and using point guards.
Former NBA player Norm Nickerson was the point guard before the Lakers drafted Magic. The only time in his career he averaged 10+ assists per game was when he was coached by Paul Silas after being sold to the Clippers by the Lakers.
of.
Terry Kaminky, the second overall pick in the 1982 class of the Clippers, only played 85 games in four years of college and had mediocre statistics. He was also short of height as an inside man, so he was extremely unfavorable when he was drafted. It seemed that the second overall pick would have something to offer.
This matter is about to fall on the Clippers. No one will think that James Worthy, the No. 1 pick selected by the Lakers, is bad at it.
But under the training of Paul Silas, Terry Kaminky turned into a player with a simple style of play but full of resilience. He performed extremely well in his rookie season, surpassing James Posey, Dominic Wilkins, Clark...
Kellogg was one of three NCAA superstars and won the Rookie of the Year award. He eventually relied on the solid basic skills he developed early in his career to play for 18 years before retiring in 2000. At the age of 41 when he retired, he averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game.
The Hornets' Baron Davis and Jamal Magloire were also trained by Paul Silas to perform beyond expectations.
The Cavaliers took a fancy to Paul Silas' ability to develop rookies and signed him to accompany James in the early stages of his career.
He also did a good job. When Ricky Davis was still there, he was able to take care of both allowing Ricky Davis to get enough data to maintain the trade value, while giving James enough performance opportunities to explore his own talents.
.
But Paul Silas's coaching ability is... just average.
He could see that Jeff McGinnis's assisting control style perfectly matched James's, and he played decisively, but it was limited to the level of skill, but the details of the adjustments were not even as good as Maurice Cheeks' first.
The adjustment is effective once you get started.
In the first half of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers tried to contain the Cavaliers' sudden scoring + assisting control style, and it worked effectively.
The Cavaliers were unable to make corresponding adjustments.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. A coach who has both the ability to train young players and excellent coaching skills is very rare, even in the NBA.
…
At 5 minutes and 11 seconds into the final quarter of the game, James made a two-point shot. Liu Xiu collected the defensive rebound and got his 10th rebound of the game!
Just now, when James grabbed the ball in the top arc and shot in one step, although Liu Xiu didn't know whether the ball was considered a move or not, it seemed that the rules didn't say it couldn't be played like this... but he immediately retreated.
.
His defensive task is to rely on the tonnage of a stone pillar to withstand James' starting impact.
In this regard, he is the most suitable among the Trail Blazers' perimeter group.
If James wants to shoot from the outside, there is nothing he can do.
But this time he just grabbed the defensive rebound and the referee blew the whistle!
Liu Xiu immediately looked at the referee and breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a foul gesture, but the Trail Blazers called a timeout.
With 16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, Liu Xiu got an affordable triple-double and was replaced!
The current score is 104 to 88, with a difference of 16 points and less than 7 minutes left. From the second half of the third quarter, the point difference has always been this big. Liu Xiu came on the court after the official timeout in the third quarter and has played until now.
The points difference has not continued to widen, but it has remained stable... and there is no fear that the Cavaliers will be able to make a comeback.
Sure enough, the other party thought so too.
Entering the official timeout, the Cavaliers also replaced their main players and surrendered!
If it weren't for James, Paul Silas would have surrendered in the third quarter.
James played the whole game without rest before being replaced. He played 41 minutes and 11 seconds and made 13 of 31 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 8 of 11 free throws. He scored 36 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Anyway, when people see the statistics of the warden and the little emperor's rookie seasons in the future, they will say that the little emperor is proud of losing...the two games averaged 38+6+7!
No, James' data from two games have been played on the big screen. When James went to Portland last time, he scored the highest single game of 40 points in his rookie season so far. He scored another 36 points tonight, plus
James has such a strong sense of presence that he plays like he does everything by himself...
The fans at the scene were shouting, ‘LeBron, you are the best’, ‘KING James, I love you, you played so well!’ and so on.
Liu Xiu, who had just sat down, thought they had been overturned before the timeout ended...
In the end, the score was fixed at 116 to 99. The Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers by 17 points and won their last game in 2003.
Liu Xiu received a system prompt. Although he got the fifth triple-double of his career tonight, surpassing Kidd and taking the first place in triple-doubles among active players in his rookie season, his game impact rating was only A-, and his overall rating was A, totaling
Received 800 healing value reward, but did not receive the 5th S-level rating.
Even if it's just a few more 100 or 150 healing points, he needs it...
Liu Xiu took a look and found that James only gave 197 healing points tonight, which is not enough for a fraction of my Dong brother’s!
In the second quarter, James gave a healing value of 80, which made Liu Xiu curious about what happened.
Fortunately, there are mission rewards, which assuage the warden's slight dissatisfaction.
“Fliggy’s Bet 2:
Goal: The host's data in this game needs to be closer to a triple-double than LeBron James, limited to 5 data points: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
The host got a triple-double, LeBron James didn't get a triple-double, it's complete.
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Attribute Card: Strength +1 (Advanced) (Training)."
"Strength +1 (Advanced) (Training): It can be used after passing 6 sets of 6-hour strength training tasks. It is best used when the strength reaches the top level.
Note: After the strength evaluation reaches 90, you need to use advanced strength training improvement cards to complete the improvement. 3 ordinary strength training improvement cards can be synthesized into 1 advanced strength training improvement card."
Liu Xiu was very happy. Fortunately, he had received an ordinary strength training improvement card before. If he had obtained this card directly before his strength reached its peak, just use it. It feels like a waste. No need... He only relies on training to increase his strength to 90, unless it is more powerful.
It would be basically impossible to gain a lot of weight otherwise.
It's just a pity, why is it not a speed card...
This is the road to the weight or the rock, gone forever!
This post-game interview was given the opportunity to the imperial court.
We are old acquaintances. Su Qun boasted to the camera before the interview: "Tonight our Warden got his fifth triple-double in his rookie season, surpassing Jason Kidd, the league's number one point guard.
Magic Earvin Johnson, the strongest point guard in history, is only two triple-doubles away. He is the pride of our Chinese athletes..."
From time to time, the camera will show Liu Xiu standing next to him. Liu Xiu has his hands behind his back, as if he is saying yes, he is here.
Su Qun praised almost everything he could, for more than a minute! Then he started to be interviewed.
Liu Xiu was surprised that the director didn't cut out this part... It seemed that his warden's importance in the imperial court had been greatly improved!
Not to mention reaching the level of Yao Ming, but it should be no worse than the future Kong Yi, Da Mo Wang and others.
To be continued...
