. The storm is rising, and the battle for the best rookie begins!

The game ended in February and at the beginning of March, the Trail Blazers had two days of rest.

On March 1st, the entire Trail Blazers team took a break.

In fact, I returned to Portland on the 28th and played a game on the 29th. The game against the Celtics should really be regarded as the end of the guest streak.

After playing a home game, you don't have to fly the next day. You can do nothing and just stay at home. This is called rest.

But Liu Xiu couldn't rest. He was called to the arena by the coaching staff to discuss tactical adjustments.

Also called were Randolph, Flying Squirrel, McDyess... and other core players or veterans, as well as Raheem.

It was originally not planned to let Raheem play. Maurice Cheeks felt that Raheem would not accept the arrangement of being a substitute and a functional substitute.

Unexpectedly, Rahim actually agreed!

Although it is an unexpected situation, of course it must be taken advantage of.

It’s a bit troublesome to adjust my play style again.

But Rahim's strength has brought a huge improvement in strength during the rotation... No matter how troublesome it is, it is not a problem.

However, Raheem also bluntly told Maurice Cheeks in private that he only accepts this arrangement for now and will definitely apply for a trade after the season is over.

But this is much better than not using Raheem, or using Raheem but Raheem's right to grab the ball and take shots further affects the team's strength.

McDyess accepted the fact that his athletic ability was destroyed, and changed from a flying and flying style to a pure role player style with solid shooting skills; Rahim accepted the arrangement as a substitute at the peak of his career. Before adjustment, he could only

A style of play that cuts down data but doesn’t contribute much to victory…

The two of them made Liu Xiu feel what it means to be a 'model professional player'.

By noon, the league announced last week's Player of the Week award and last month's Best of the Month award.

Player of the week.

Eastern Conference: Big Z of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won all 3 games last week. Big Z averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

West: Kobe of the Lakers. The Lakers had 3 wins and 1 loss last week. Kobe averaged 30.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Player of the month.

Eastern Conference: Kidd of the Nets, 8 wins and 4 losses, averaging 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals per game.

West: Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, 9 wins and 4 losses, averaging 25.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals per game.

Rookie of the month.

East: James of the Cavaliers, averaging 21.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

West: Anthony of the Nuggets, averaging 27.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

…

He discussed tactical adjustments with the coaching staff and teammates all morning, and Liu Xiu took the time to watch the official live broadcast at noon.

The tears can't stop flowing...

Anthony has won the Rookie of the Month three times! More than his two wins!

After Gu Ying felt sorry for himself for three seconds, Liu Xiu made clear his next goal.

In March and April, you have to win the Rookie of the Month to compete for the Rookie of the Year!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime prize, so of course you have to win it.

It’s still a data problem!

If he has a particularly strong performance, such as in November and December, then the average data per game will be acceptable.

Otherwise, there is no way to compete for Rookie of the Month with a player like Anthony who leads the entire class in scoring average. His average of 27.2 points per game in February is outrageous. Only Iverson can average higher points per game.

Rookies ranked in the top ten in points per game, and the last time it was Allen Iverson.

As long as you find it troublesome, your troubles will go away quickly.

After clarifying the solution, Liu Xiu stopped worrying about it and had lunch.

Of course I have to eat my own more delicious box lunch...

While eating, he looked at the system and sorted out the directions he wanted to strengthen next.

Originally, he was somewhat worried about one thing.

His playing style is very physically damaging.

Diving-like breakthrough acceleration, European step, excessive weight...

Although it has the function of "functional repair" through simulated training, he has many fighting styles that are prone to injuries during performance.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

But now, with the opportunity to get the ‘Phoenix’ buff, these concerns may be resolved!

The third fragment can be obtained through tasks, and the other is through lottery.

He is not in a hurry, he can just wait for the next time he plays against Pierce. Usually, if you get the lottery, it will be the best, but if you don't, it will be the best.

Before that, you must work hard to improve your strength and strive to complete the task next time.

Had it not been for Raheem's miraculous effect in the third quarter, leading him to score points, it would have been impossible for him to score higher than Pierce.

Basic skills training cannot be neglected. In terms of technology, it is Beard's front-body change of direction breakthrough, Boss Joe's emergency stop jumper, Kobe Bryant's back-up jumper, European step-in... and one more.

How to integrate the iron mountain support of Bajiquan into the back attack.

Directly use the iron mountain leaning action, a proper foul action.

And once or twice is okay, if it happens a few more times, flagrant fouls are definitely inevitable.

But the force-generating technique and the adjustment of the body's power output structure... are indeed very suitable for the back-up play of a player with a tonnage advantage like him.

…

After eating, Liu Xiu reorganized the direction of the next technical simulation training.

This afternoon he was going to complete the last day's strength training task of 'Strength +1 (Advanced) (Training)' and use it.

It has been confirmed before that when his strength reaches his level, apart from gaining weight, it is difficult to rely on training to continue to improve strength. It is only necessary to assist physical training, but the role of assisting physical training has become less and less obvious. With Baji After punching, there is less need to keep it, so use it.

The first five days of training missions were just one day short of the last one. He had practiced it countless times, and he was familiar with every aspect of the training missions.

After resting for a while, Liu Xiu went to the gym. When he passed the training ground, he saw the outlaws who were training with Rahim. Oh, by the way, there was also Miles, who had to rub shoulders with the teaching instructor at all times. .

The coaching staff did not schedule any training this afternoon. It was a real rest day, which meant that these three people were practicing extra.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, the three of them said hello and continued training. Liu Xiu said hello and watched for a few minutes before going to the gym to train.

There's nothing interesting to see, it's just the three of them discussing how their characters can enhance their play styles.

6 hours, 6 groups per hour, 6 minutes each group of intensive strength training, 6 hours of training tasks need to be completed in one day, this is the last day of training tasks.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, after working all afternoon and half the night, Liu Xiu finally completed the last day's strength training task!

"The host uses the attribute card: Strength +1 (Advanced) (Training). The training task has been completed. Congratulations to the host. The strength has been increased from 91 to 92."

After using the attribute cards, there is no specific feeling as before.

But when I pulled the butterfly machine, I could feel the obvious improvement!

Liu Xiu was very excited, but also a little bit sad - it seems that he can't get rid of the name of tank point guard!

…

…

On March 2, the Trail Blazers began tactical training that was adjusted due to the addition of Raheem.

The changes are not big, only the playing time of the small forward and the playing time of the power forward during the rotation phase have been adjusted.

The little flying squirrel, Harrington's substitute lineup, is already very strong, and now there is Raheem. Maurice Cheeks said that he himself is scared!

The starting lineup is really not necessarily as strong as the rotation lineup.

In the 10-minute intra-team training match from 2:00 to 2:18 this afternoon, Team B of Little Flying Squirrel, Wesley Person, Harrington, Raheem, and Dale Davis put Liu Xiu,

The A team of Reuben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and McDyess was beaten, and the B team defeated the A team 24-17.

Liu Xiu and Randolph fought fiercely while sitting down, and Team B couldn't even defend themselves against the attack.

But with three or four people from team B squatting under the basket, Liu Xiu and Randolph were unable to do anything.

At this time, if the outlaws, Reuben Patterson, and McDyess fail to make mid-range shots, Team A will have nothing to do.

Relatively speaking, Team B has more options to choose from. There are three players who can play in isolation, and both of their main pointers can shoot from long range. In his career, Rahim has a 40% mid-range shooting rate and a 40.6% long-range shooting rate.

His mid-range shooting percentage is also excellent, and his response ability is also excellent.

After the training match, Little Flying Squirrel said to Liu Xiu sternly: "Warden, you don't have to feel bad. You have better stability. The starting lineup is yours, hahahaha..."

Liu Xiu was furious when he heard this, and said to Randolph next to him: "Butcher, the Kings have lost three games in a row, lost 12 games, and will never win 70 games!"

"???"
