"Kevin, what do you mean..."

"I believe that Jess is aware of the team's problems, and he is really willing to sacrifice his power to help the team. However, even if we make the team better through this change, we are not sure what his thoughts will be.

It won't change.

He may often have such selfless thoughts, but we need to view his selflessness more calmly.

I know him too well. He is not the same kind of person as the paralyzed Spurs guy. Rather than so-called selflessness, he is more keen on pursuing the benefits he deserves.

His current selflessness has a lot to do with our status as the defending champion. Maurice, can you guarantee that we can continue to win the championship this year?"

After hearing this, the coach fell into deep thought and said after a while: "Kevin, I understand your concerns. We need to consider the future. No, this is our most important thing."

Seeing that the coach was no longer so persistent, the vice president said happily: "Yes, no one can win the championship every year. We can't rely on this to keep Jace with such a selfless attitude.

The selflessness of his playing style and selfless performance on the court are actually based on the freedom we gave him on the court and the right to distribute the ball."

The coach nodded: "Yes, so when we build the team's offensive system, we need to have a clearer direction."

"?" The vice president found that he seemed to be relieved too early, but he still asked: "What direction?"

"Fair competition!" The coach's expression is serious now.

"Fair competition?" This time it was the vice president's turn to be confused.

The coach responded: "Yes, fair competition, whoever is stronger, who performs better on the field, who has the most opportunities to perform at that time, during regular time, when we make tactical arrangements, we must strictly implement this."

Seeing that the vice president was still confused, the coach said: "True fair competition actually depends on strength. Whoever is stronger will have the most decision-making power and the most performance opportunities on the court. Kevin, who is the MVP?"

?”

The vice president's eyes widened: "You mean, if we adjust in this direction, not only will Jace's team status not decline, but it will also make Ray and Zach more willing to become a part of the team's puzzle."

ring?"

The coach leaned back on the chair, and the old man had already walked up from his sitting position. He rubbed the stubble on his chin and said slowly: "The warden has provided the idea tactfully. It's up to us how to implement it and how to achieve the desired effect.

Got it!"

The vice president let out a few exclamations, walked around for a while, and then said, "You mean, this is the real purpose of Jace talking to us about this matter?"

The coach responded: "I don't know, but I think so, but that's not important anymore. BOSS, I think you care too much about the Warden's contract extension. Don't link everything to that."

The vice president's tone was urgent: "What if we really refuse to renew the contract because of this matter? We can't stumble over such a small matter, Morris."

The coach raised his head and said with an uninhibited expression: "Then I'll beg him to renew his contract. I can kneel down and beg him."

"..."

The vice president was speechless, he was so shameless!

The coach said carelessly: "Kevin, we need to be bolder in doing things. Before, we took the risk of being fired by the boss to correct the warden he didn't like at the time. You were so straightforward back then, but how come you have changed after we succeeded?"

Are you timid?

And he brought it up, so even if he regrets it later, we will take care of it!"

The vice president looked at the coach's shameless attitude. Needless to say, he was really convinced!

…

Liu Xiu didn't know whether he suddenly had a "strong sense of teamwork".

But he certainly wouldn't have guessed that the coach and vice president would have American imperialist thinking on him.

On the second rest day, on the afternoon of the 17th, Liu Xiu took the "Rose Bay Prison" and went with the team to Memphis, the first stop of the 4th consecutive trip.

After a night's rest, on the morning of the 18th, the Trail Blazers came to FedEx Arena to prepare for the evening game.

During the tactical meeting in the morning, Liu Xiu learned that the coaching staff had begun to adjust the direction of the system as he suggested.

It wasn't like there were a lot of changes at once like that day on the 4th, but adjustments were made based on the current style of play. Not only were there no ridiculous adjustments, but the overly radical adjustments before the Knicks game were removed.

I suffered a loss against the Knicks and learned a lesson. If I did something wrong, I should correct it.

The Trail Blazers coach also communicated with Randolph and Ray Allen in advance about this adjustment.

As the coach thought, Randolph said very confidently that in fair competition he is still the strongest player on the team, and this is not a problem.

Ray Allen refused at first, but the coach patiently explained that the purpose of building the team around Liu Xiu remained unchanged. This was Liu Xiu's suggestion, and such an adjustment was just a trial... After exhausting his efforts, Ray Allen agreed.

To try to change.

The day's preparation time passed, and at 7:10 p.m., the away Trail Blazers entered FedEx Arena, and the game to challenge the Grizzlies was about to begin.

The Trail Blazers' first away game of the new season was against the Grizzlies. It's hard to believe that this was a coincidence.

When Liu Xiu led his teammates out of the tunnel, there were boos, but there were also cheers!

The Grizzlies have lost their first three games in a row!

They lost to the Heat 78-97 and lost to the Cavaliers 85-94. These two games were not bad. Both opponents ranked higher than them.

But the Grizzlies fans were completely overwhelmed by the 106-132 defeat to the Magic.

After the players from the two teams finished playing and the lights came on, Liu Xiu took a closer look. Oh my god, there were many fans wearing brown paper shopping bags on their heads!

Liu Xiu has no idea where this 'custom' originated from, but he saw it when he played Atlanta away from home last season. He learned from his teammates that when fans are extremely dissatisfied with their own team, they will behave like this.

operate.

In addition to such expressions, there are more direct ones.

There were many fans at the scene holding signs telling the man with the logo to be dismissed.

Who would have thought that the best manager in the 2003-04 season would be reduced to a rat on the street in Memphis after another season and everyone would beat him up?

But it really doesn’t deserve sympathy…

At 7:28, the referee informed the two teams to start the game.

"The Archmage: State of the Game."

Copy object:

Teammate: Ray Allen, matching degree 45%, because the host has learned Ray Allen's emergency stop jump shot training method, matching degree bonus is 15%, total matching degree is 60%, characteristic transformation talent: quick throw, bonus effect:

The shooting speed is increased by 10%, and the catching and shooting speed is increased by an additional 10%, both of which have adaptive effects.

Opponent: Mike Miller, matching degree 65%, characteristic transformation talent: catch and shoot expert, bonus effect: if you are not dribbling when catching and shooting, the shooting speed will be accelerated by 25%, with an adaptive effect; if you are catching and shooting,

With a wide gap and a direct shot without dribbling, you will definitely be in a hot state."

Previously, after Ray Allen's 'quick shot' was upgraded from residual health to normal, Liu Xiu thought about what it would be like to combine the talent of another Mike Miller, who speeds up his shooting speed.

But just thinking about it at that time, I never thought about signing Ray Allen naked. At that time, he felt like a Los Angeles basketball fan in 1996.

After carefully spreading the magnesium powder evenly, Liu Xiu came to the court.

"Pau Gasol, 25 years old, 215 cm, 113 kg, C/PF, ability evaluation 89...averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1 steal, 1.7 blocks per game...shooting rate 51%..."

After taking a look at Gasol's ability evaluation, he has reached his peak in the golden period of his career, with solid All-Star level strength, but his starting teammates - Bobby Jackson, Eddie Jones, Shane Battier, Loren

Zen White is far from bad, but compared with last season's White Chocolate, James Posey, and Bunchy Wells, he is obviously much weaker.

The most important thing is that the logo man used the assets of his current employer to help his old colleagues maintain connections, which brought very strong negative emotions to the Grizzlies team.

In fact, in the original time and space, logo male Gasol and a bunch of high-quality role players did similar operations after failing to attract stars in the summer of 2004 and 2005, but not many people noticed because the Grizzlies team did not

How many people are paying attention.

But here, abandoning Liu Xiu's operation, in the past two years, the Grizzlies have been very "sought after" by the media, so the funding of Pat Riley has attracted far more attention than it originally had.

The most pitiable thing is Gasol. He plays diligently and leads the team hard, but as a result, he gets weaker and weaker by beating his teammates...

At 7:30, the game started.

Kwame Brown beat Gasol to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Bobby Jackson defended him. Liu Xiu quickly swatted the ball with his left hand and rushed forward to the right.

Bobby Jackson followed suit and stayed close to Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu pushed him back.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was about to be run over, Bobby Jackson accelerated with all his strength and retreated. Liu Xiu made an emergency stop on the right side of the free throw line. Bobby Jackson quickly braked and jumped back. Liu Xiu made the emergency stop without haste.

Adjust your shooting, shoot quickly after taking off, and hit the mid-range shot steadily!

In transition, the Grizzlies attack.

Bobby Jackson was attacking with the ball. Facing Liu Xiu's defense, he dribbled the ball from his hips continuously, took a step horizontally, pulled up and shot a three-pointer... Liu Xiu stuck him tightly, but Bobby Jackson didn't jump enough, so he only

If you can increase strength with your arms, how can you ensure the stability of your shot? There was a "bang" sound.

Gasol on the inside actively rushed for the ball and relied on his wingspan advantage to get the ball over Kwame Brown's head and hit the tip-in!

When Liu Xiu returned to the inside to catch the ball, he complained to Kwame Brown who was serving: "Are the high school students still developing? Can the experts grow up a little bit?"

Kwame Brown wanted to reply, "Can you be a few centimeters taller?" but resisted the urge to hit him.

During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and started dribbling. Bobby Jackson took a step away to prevent a breakthrough. After dribbling continuously, Liu Xiu felt something coming. He collected the ball, jumped up, and faced Bobby who rushed forward.
Chapter completed!
