On December 19, at 7 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu woke up on time, and the system prompts came into view.

“I have performed simulation training on off-ball movement, emergency stop, catch and shoot for 3 hours, I have performed simulation training on basic three-point shooting skills for 1 hour, I have performed simulation training on basic skills of mid-range shooting for 1 hour, and I have performed simulation training on glove flow defense for 1 hour and 16 minutes.

…”

Without extracting it immediately, Liu Xiu looked at the person beside him who was sleeping soundly on the pillow. He felt very special.

Women have slept next to him before, but never in his bed at home.

But he felt good and stable.

He stood up carefully and went to the bathroom. While taking a shower, he bit the towel and extracted the simulation training results.

Different from the usual prompt of ‘keep working hard’ after extracting the simulation training results, a new system prompt is here!

"Congratulations to the host, the pull-up catch and shoot has reached the NBA qualifying level, and the pull-up catch and shoot rating has been raised to 60."

"Congratulations to the host, the basic emergency stop skill has been improved to 80 (excellent)."

"Congratulations to the host, the emergency jump shot has been improved to 70 (good)."

"Host ability evaluation: 84,

Athletic ability: speed 90, strength 92, jumping 86, flexibility 94, physical strength 91.

Basic skills: 72 three-pointers, 84 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 93 ball control, 89 passing accuracy, 84 turns, 69 strides, 79 turn overs, 80 emergency stops...

Shooting 60…”

Thanks to veteran Ray Allen for his training methods for pull-up jump shots with and without the ball!

The ability to catch and shoot in a pull-up has successfully reached a qualified level. Together with the technique of a pull-up jump shot, the basic skills of the pull-up jump shot itself have broken through the current bottleneck and reached a higher level.

In addition to this, the "glove style" single defense's pressing and stealing steps and single defense confrontation steps have also improved very quickly. Anyway, judging from Payton's 'healing' feedback, the progress must be much faster than Payton expected.

Much more.

When Liu Xiu came out of the shower, he saw that Anne Hathaway had begun to practice yoga without clothes. It turned out that when he woke up just now, Anne Hathaway had also woken up.

Seeing this scene, how could he bear it? Amidst Anne Hathaway's exclamations, he joined in the morning exercises...

Omit 3,000 words here.

Liu Xiu took a second bath, this time together.

Anne Hathaway said fiercely: "You still have to compete today!"

Liu Xiu responded: "It's okay. The Warriors haven't graduated from kindergarten yet. They won't become my opponents until they go to elementary school."

Anne Hathaway decided to start learning Chinese today because she sometimes couldn’t understand what her boyfriend said!

…

It was already past 8 o'clock when they came out of the bedroom. When Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway went downstairs, they felt their sister's anger.

Qing'er stood at the dining table with her hands on her hips: "Brother, Annie, it's too late for you to get up!"

Last night, Qing'er followed her parents back to their house to sleep. She came over early in the morning to make breakfast and help her aunt and uncle with their nieces and nephews. Unfortunately, her brother and sister-in-law got up so late and went downstairs.

Breakfast is cold!

Anne Hathaway quickly said: "Sorry, sorry, Claire, I will take you shopping to buy beautiful clothes!"

Qing'er's face softened a little, she had to give face to the beauty, but she was still angry.

Anne Hathaway looked at Liu Xiu, her eyes full of blame, regardless of how happy she was just now.

When Liu Xiu saw her sister's expression of "You have to give me an explanation," she made a move: "I'll drive the excavator and take you for a ride on the weekends."

Qing'er turned her face like a book and immediately became excited: "I'll heat breakfast for you!"

Anne Hathaway:???Take an excavator for a spin???

…

…

After clocking in to work another day, Liu Xiu arrived at the Rose Garden Arena to prepare for tonight's game against the Warriors.

Today, the amount of training arranged by the chief assistant coach Hollins is not large, only a 30-minute offensive tactics training session, on how to maximize the offensive advantage against the opponent's messy defense.

During the training phase, Thomas Carter, the new director of the Trail Blazers' medical team, brought the temporarily recruited Falcons team doctor to observe the training and record data.

Liu Xiu noticed this and asked his teammates about it. Thomas Carter mentioned this matter in the meeting last night. This is part of the "injury prevention and control".

Start preventing injuries during the training phase. It sounds professional. Not to mention Liu Xiu who knows how good Thomas Carter is. The other players of the Trail Blazers now feel that their health problems are truly protected. The team cohesion is compared to the 'vet door'.

'It was higher before.

The team has a new look, and everyone is working hard. After half an hour of team offensive tactics training, many people are practicing additionally. For example, Randolph is developing the skills of back-to-back or face-to-face mid-range shooting while teaching.

Kwame Brown's ways to use his body.

Liu Xiu has rarely seen his teammates be so active recently.

Removing the veterinary cancer that could explode at any time also enhanced team cohesion and suppressed the team's idleness to a certain extent.

Although he felt a little sorry for the lawless maniac, Liu Xiu felt that the injury to the little brother of the high school student came just in time!

…

At 6:46 in the evening, the Warriors and Trail Blazers entered the stadium one after another.

Liu Xiu looked at the opponent's lineup. The first home game opponent after six consecutive away games was the Warriors. It was a very good schedule.

"Oakland Warriors, 10 wins and 14 losses, averaging 98.7 points per game, allowing 100.5 points per game..."

The opponent has a certain strength and can bring a certain amount of pressure, but it is not too strong and the probability of losing in a serious battle is low.

The player who needs to be feared the most - Jason Richardson, has played 20 games so far this season, averaging 21 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

There are also Troy Murphy, who averages 15 points and 11 rebounds per game, and Mike Dunleavy, who averages 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

And the Warriors' three major point guards: Van Exel, Fisher, and Speedy Claxton.

The second-year talent of Michael Pietrus in the 2003 class has also begun to materialize...

A quarter of a season has passed, and the Warriors have produced another group of players. When people mention this team, they all think of the same thing - Which team will the Warriors cheapen next? When will the Wizards

Continue to rob?

Look at the Wizards' four major stars, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Stephen Jackson, and Jamison. Three of them came from the Warriors.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Blazers' home game against the Warriors started.

The Warriors are one of the fastest teams in the league, ranking first in the league in shots per game, taking more shots than the Suns, and their opponents also take the highest number of shots per game in the league.

However, although the Warriors took more shots, their scoring average was more than ten points less than that of the Suns, and their scoring efficiency was low.

The Blazers' response strategy was very targeted, protecting the frame and boards on the defensive end, and seizing mid-to-long-range shooting opportunities from both wings on the offensive end.

Not to mention, there are really many opportunities on the wings. Every time Liu Xiu sneaks out of the baseline, there are opportunities on both wings. Tonight, he took more than a dozen mid-range shots from the wings alone, and successfully made 10 of 14 of his attempts, plus two of them.

The wing mid-range shot was fouled and he made 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 23 points with the wing mid-range shot!

At the end of the game, Liu Xiu played 31 minutes and made 14 of 21 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 36 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block.

The teammates learned from Warden what it means to hit hard when encountering a bad defensive team... Sir Barkley said there is really nothing wrong with him.

But it has to be said that Liu Xiu took advantage of the opponent's slowness in switching defenses on the wing and struck hard, allowing his teammates to get better high-post shooting and cutting opportunities.

Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers made 39 of 80 shots from the field, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 25 of 35 free throws, soaring 107 points.

The protection of rebounds is also very good, limiting the Warriors' very important scoring method-the second offense.

Relying on Randolph, Kwame Brown, Dale Davis, McDyess, Raheem... and others, the Trail Blazers got 52 rebounds tonight and limited the average to 43 rebounds per game.

The Warriors only got 36 rebounds. The Warriors averaged 13 offensive rebounds per game, ranking fifth in the league. They only had 5 offensive rebounds tonight.

The Trail Blazers used this to limit the Warriors to 94 points.

In the end, with Liu Xiu's 36 points, Randolph's 21 points and 16 rebounds, Payton's 7 points and 7 assists, and Flying Squirrel's 8 points and 6 assists... the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors 107-94 and improved their record.

To 18 wins and 6 losses!

…

Liu Xiu didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but in this game against the Warriors, he felt very comfortable and smooth when he ran to catch the ball, stopped, turned and shot.

When you need a confidence boost, it always feels good to have a team like the Warriors that basically has no defense.

Defeating the Warriors, the Trail Blazers kicked off their fourth consecutive game.

The Trail Blazers have become a popular team thanks to him. They have a Christmas Day game this year, and it’s at home! They will face the 76ers at home on the 25th.

But before that, there was a wave of three games in four days. Fortunately, they were all at home, starting with the Warriors. On the 21st and 22nd, they played the SuperSonics and Jazz back-to-back at home.

On the 20th, the morning after the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors, the SuperSonics came to Portland.

When Liu Xiu just finished lunch, Ray Allen came to visit their home.

Ray Allen was not late for lunch. He didn't even sit down for a while. He gave Liu Xiu's two children small gifts and blessings before leaving.

Liu Xiu was very surprised. The friendship between him and Ray Allen was as good as water.

When it comes to giving gifts to each other's children, only people like Anthony, Carter, Tianzun, etc. who have a really good relationship, or a social butterfly like James, should give gifts to his children.

Apparently Ray Allen is neither of those things...

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu came to the arena for preparation training. Tomorrow and the next two days of back-to-back games, the preparation target must be the SuperSonics, and the Jazz team can only play and work.
Chapter completed!
