Based on Liu Xiu's ability and the team's lineup structure, Liu Xiu's counterattack is far less powerful than Liu Xiu's counterattack arrow.

Maurice Cheeks ignored Liu Xiu's immature suggestions and began to give ideas on defensive counterattacks.

It is good for the point guard to instigate the team to counterattack, but the situation does not allow it. Maurice Cheeks chose the counterattack method of Liu Xiu or Little Flying Squirrel, and others follow up to support the counterattack. Keep it simple and focus on defense.

The leadership is given to Bushai.

After making the decision, Maurice Cheeks focused on the game itself, arranging the lineup and the style of play to be experimented according to the actual situation. With a famous star + a championship coach, his vision is naturally not bad. With actual combat test, he has

You don’t need to try the lineup and tactics to know that they won’t work. Similarly, there are also some temporary tactical adjustments...

The strength displayed by the Blazers' style of play was definitely not guaranteed. In the second half, after trying most of the tactics they wanted to experiment with, Maurice Cheeks began to send out training camp contract players. These five players became

After being a sparring partner for such a long time, all he wants is this little playing time, so he must be satisfied.

The main reason is that Ray Allen has a very good understanding of tactics, and he is talented and capable but also works hard. Today, the main thing is to let him run in with his teammates more and try more tactics with him as the main player. It was done in the first half.

The bearded man on the other side became more unhappy and angry the more he beat him, and the more he beat him the harder he worked!

In the next three quarters, Baron Davis led the team to a score of 80-64. In the end, under his leadership of 35 points and 9 assists in 39 minutes, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 102-91.

…

The Trail Blazers lost their first preseason game, and the media had something to write about again.

Liu Xiu, who scored 13 points and 4 assists in 27 minutes, and Randolph, who scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes, received the same evaluation - lack of self-discipline, overweight, and broken condition.

The evaluation of Ray Allen's first game after joining the Trail Blazers - it affected the Trail Blazers' originally perfect tactical system.

On the morning of the second day of the first game of the preseason, Liu Xiu heard these comments from the media from Qing'er.

It was the first time I heard from the media that their prison team had a perfect tactical system. I didn't expect this to be the case.

Liu Xiu thought it was correct to say that he was overweight and his condition was broken. But why did he compare him to the warden and the butcher?

Wasn’t his opening dunk cool?

Well, there is no live broadcast, no video, and no truth. His opening fast break dunk only exists in the mouths or keyboards of the fans who watched last night's game live.

In addition to these two statements, he also heard the media criticizing their coach's rotation, saying that they rotated blindly and replaced whatever lineup performed well...

When Qing'er read this, she was complaining: "Do we still have to play in the preseason like the finals? These reporters have no common sense at all! No, I will go online and argue with them later!"

Liu Xiu responded: "Isn't their purpose achieved?"

"What purpose?"

"Infuriate you elementary school students and ask you to question it online, and then there will be a group of people who want to refute everything to refute your words and create heat."

Qing'er clenched her fists: "They are so despicable!"

In his third year in the NBA, Liu Xiu has long seen through the media's tricks to create topics... and some people can't.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the arena at the meeting time. Seeing that Randolph was already sweating, he asked the trainer to find out that Randolph was stimulated by the media saying that he was "out of shape" and started working hard to lose weight.

!

In the past half month or so, Randolph had only lost a little more than two kilograms, and his motivation to lose weight was seriously lacking.

The current Randolph is not the big black bear who has experienced everything. That big black bear. Although the prodigal son turned around and worked hard to pursue victory, he was really lazy. The first two games of each season in the Double Bear era were in shape.

They're all screwed up, and it's useless to scold them, because they've already endured all the scoldings.

But now that Randolph is still young, the first thing he thinks about when encountering this kind of thing is how to slap the media in the face.

Liu Xiu felt Randolph's motivation to lose weight.

As for helping the butcher adjust his mentality and letting him know the sinister intentions of the media, the warden would not do it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the gathering time came, Liu Xiu found that there were few people at the training ground. An undrafted rookie from Stanford University was missing, and Don Hamilton, a small forward who had played several games with the Heat, also did not come. The coach

The team didn't say anything in particular, but everyone knew that these two were indeed not good enough as sparring partners.

The overall direction of team training has not changed, with Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and Randolph building a team offense around the three of them.

But a defensive counterattack training session was added.

Defensive counterattack has changed from an offensive option to a set of tactics that the team needs to polish.

Two days of rest time passed in a flash, and on October 14th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Timberwolves in the same division at home.

The Trail Blazers still started with Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaw, Randolph, and Kwame Brown; the Timberwolves sent out Marko Yalic, Trenton Hassell, and Szebia

The starting lineup of G, Garnett, and Olowokandi.

Of the three-headed monster of the Timberwolves, only Garnett is left. Cassel joined the Clippers for 20 million in three years. The Timberwolves were unwilling to give this money to Cassel, but to the madman. The madman felt that it was not enough to support his family, so in the end both of them left.

The Timberwolves.

In the past offseason, the only time the Timberwolves had a chance to establish their presence was when a madman yelled, "21 million is not enough for me to support my family in Hukou."

But the madman did not expect that after he rejected the three-year, US$21 million contract with the Timberwolves, no team would extend an invitation to him.

The vice president of the Trail Blazers originally planned to try out the Madman with a minimum salary. They needed a small forward, but the coach forcibly refused.

During that time, the coach looked at the vice president in a wrong way and was full of defensiveness...

In addition to losing two heads, the Timberwolves didn't even retain their starting center.

Liu Xiu looked at the opposing starting lineup. Among Garnett's four starting teammates last season, only one handsome guy, Szczerbiak, was left. Szczerbiak publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with McHale at the end of the regular season last season.

He was put up for sale by the Timberwolves during the offseason. There is nothing he can do if he doesn't sell. Szczerbiak will be able to get out of the last year of his contract next summer, and then the Timberwolves will have nothing left.

Some media broke the news that the Celtics are very interested in the white small forward. Maybe when the regular season starts, Garnett's starting teammates will really be changed.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started. The Trail Blazers went on a 22-8 run and Randolph scored 8 points in the first half!

With a fat and fat style of play, Randolph pressed Garnett in the paint tonight and used his body to eat away at him!

Without the help of Przbilla, Nesterovich would have been poached by the Spurs long ago, and Mark Madsen will be absent for a long time due to injury... Garnett's best inside teammate is Olowokan

Dee!

And Olowokandi, who has turned 30, now doesn’t even have three axes. His strength was not that good in the first place, and he collapsed in his thirties...

Forget about their lack of strength. The Timberwolves now don’t even have the energy to fight. Three of their five starters are missing. A year and a half ago, they were the regular season champions and favorites for the championship. I thought that the nightmare was over at the end of last season, but now I find that

, the nightmare has just begun...

In the second half of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers scored another half-quarter score of 18-12, leading 40-20 in the single quarter.

The fans at the scene were very excited, as their own players were scoring like crazy.

But for the Trail Blazers coaching staff, this is not a good game. They would rather lose because they did not slack off and did not play randomly. They just did not play well. When they encounter a star like the Warriors, they have a certain level of confidence.

They may not be able to beat teams with overall strength, but they hope to always encounter active opponents like the Warriors in the preseason, which will be more conducive to their running-in. When they meet the current Timberwolves, Huo Tu is worried to death.

But Maurice Cheeks doesn't have to worry. Since his opponent is like this, he should fight back defensively!

Although you may not get much training by playing defensive counterattack, it can at least make the players get used to the feeling of counterattack.

Ever since, in the next two quarters of the game, Liu Xiu and Xiao Fei Squirrel took turns to play to promote the counterattack, or they both played together to counterattack... After three quarters, the score was 100 to 55.

In the last quarter, the three training camp contract players played the entire quarter. The little flying squirrel who led the team gave almost all the shooting rights to the three of them. I originally thought that the preseason was a bit too harsh, but in the end, these three played

They worked harder and scored 33 to 28 in a single quarter.
Chapter completed!
