"Congratulations to the host, the layup rating has improved from 94 to 95, surpassing the top level."

"Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

, emergency stop to catch and shoot 83, post-up application skills 84, pick-and-roll with the ball 84, pick-and-roll technology application 81..."

At 2:30 pm on April 20, after Liu Xiu completed additional training, he received a system prompt.

The ability evaluation has exceeded 93!

The improvement of throwing shots, the improvement of the ability to use the body, and the improvement of outside shooting are all indispensable for layups to reach the top!

Basic skills and techniques have improved to some extent, but most are still excellent to a first-rate level.

Compared to Nash, Kobe's basic skills and skills, which are mostly at the top level, still have a clear gap... Of course, compared to the few outside players, he already has quite comprehensive and outstanding skills.

That’s right, the training of ‘physical enhancement’ ended just like that, and he was quite reluctant to part with it.

Unlike other training cards, the bonus of this training card slowly increases with each effective training.

Once or twice, I felt nothing. As time went on, Liu Xiuneng could clearly feel the improvement in the use of his body during the game.

After the All-Star Weekend, he scored more points at the basket. At first, he relied more on improving his ability to use his body. In this regard, James is indeed a rare genius.

However, now that the effect of the training card has ended, he was reluctant to give it up and didn't dwell on it. As long as it really brought improvement, all the hard work during this period would have been in vain.

Looking at a bunch of excellent and first-class technologies and basic skills, Liu Xiu felt that the current direction of progress in "completeness" has almost reached a bottleneck.

In the following offseason, it’s time to choose a main skill and conduct intensive training around it!

…

After the training, Liu Xiu took a shower and went to the lounge to take a nap as usual. The lawless maniac also did as usual. After Liu Xiu closed the door, he took the small horse and sat at the door to play games.

Now the outlaws guarding the gate can feel more at ease.

The day before yesterday, after his agent met with Paul Allen, he received a three-year contract extension worth $16.51 million.

Battier and Prince, who can average double figures in points per game and have the best defensive ability, only get this salary.

His agent originally wanted a long-term contract worth US$20 million over five years, but for US$16.51 million over three years...then he had to accept it reluctantly.

The Trail Blazers are the focus of media attention, and the current situation and prospects of each of their players have been analyzed many times.

Although Outlaw's running and jumping ability is at the top of the league, his basic skills and technical talents are really average. Media experts generally believe that his development prospects are not high. Shooting, straight-line breakthrough and ball distribution, and defense are just these three things.

It's not impossible to suddenly have enlightenment one day, but the probability is not necessarily higher than buying a lottery ticket.

Of course, as a role player, he has always been highly praised.

His interference flow defense is the most popular defensive method that teams like to imitate and cultivate after selecting forwards with excellent height and wingspan.

The outlaw was very happy when he got the contract extension. He renewed the contract for three years, and the warden also renewed the contract for another three years. He didn't have to worry about being left behind for the next three years.

Liu Xiu didn't take a nap immediately. He used the newly equipped computer in the lounge to browse the website for a while.

After 7 games tonight, this regular season will come to an end.

The first place in the Eastern and Western Conferences has been locked. The Pistons are first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league with 67 wins and 15 losses. The Spurs are first in the Western Conference and second in the league with 65 wins and 17 losses.

There is also a team in the East and West that has won 60 games: the Bulls with 62 wins and 20 losses, and the Mavericks with 60 wins and 22 losses.

It seems that the east is stronger.

But there is still one team in the West that can win 60 games.

The Trail Blazers and Suns are also 59-22.

The two teams will face off tonight!

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Western Conference has lost many stars in the past three summers, the top four in the Western Conference are all capable of winning 60 games. The Raptors, who are third in the Eastern Conference, may win 55 games at most. Today

If you win late, you will get it.

After looking at the performance rankings, Liu Xiu opened the mission section.

"The host is about to enter the playoffs. As the two consecutive defending champions, the real journey of the dynasty is about to begin. Let's have a perfect ending in the regular season... The Road to Dynasty Series Mission: Beautiful Ending Trigger."

“Nice finish:

Goal: Win the final game of the regular season.

Reward: Equip one randomly."

Liu Xiu initially thought that there was an error in the system. When did he become so generous? Give him the equipment directly!

But when he saw his own record of 59 wins, he understood.

Winning the final game brought him to 60 wins, 60 wins for three consecutive years. The last time a team achieved such a record was during the second dynasty of the Bulls, which won 72, 69, and 62 wins in three seasons.

Before that, it was the Lakers in the second half of the 1980s.

This is a very rare achievement.

Looking at this task again, he was still thinking - if they didn't adjust the details of their playing style, experiment with tactics, rely solely on their stars to fight, and continue the style of play they played before this season, they would have locked in second place in the Western Conference by now.

However, if he were asked to choose again, he would still choose to listen to the team's arrangements.

The team's progress in these games has been obvious, and he can clearly feel that the team's overall strength is now better than before the targeted adjustments!

Another task.

"The pinnacle moment of the Son of the Wind's career has arrived, and the host has also entered the golden period of his career. Will the strong wind sweep the world? Or will the warden become the prison of the wind... The series of missions of Light and Darkness: Headwind Trigger."

"against the wind:

Goal: In tonight's game, the host needs to lead Amar'e Stoudemire in scoring, lead Shawn Marion in rebounding, and lead Steve Nash in assists.

Reward: For each completed lead, 2,000 healing points will be awarded. If you win the game, the reward will be doubled. If you complete all goals, the reward will be doubled."

You can get up to 18,000 healing points as a reward, which is a very good mission, but the most important thing about this game is not this...

…

"Steve, do you want to take on a difficult challenge? If you lose happily tonight, you can compete with the No. 1 player in the Western Conference."

"The Mavericks are also a very strong team. Dirk is the best scoring insider in the world. Playing against him is something I'm looking forward to."

"You can defeat the Spurs first, and then play against Dirk in the Western Conference Finals. I think I can't beat Dirk in the second round, and it won't affect what you expect."

Nash thought to himself, I believe you!

It's because you ruined the Mavericks, and Nowitzki went off to play without the ball.

If the Mavericks hadn't been willing to spend money and put together Terry, Harris, Finley, Daniels, Josh Howard, Stackhouse... this bunch of outsiders, there is no shortage of people in singles, and Nowitzki has a lot of players.

With good conditions to develop off the ball and contribute to the Mavericks, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to get back on their feet!

Liu Xiu and Nash’s pre-game greetings ended on bad terms.

Both of them take this game very seriously - if they win, they will play the Mavericks, and if they lose, they will play the Spurs. This multiple-choice question is too simple.

Returning to the bench, Liu Xiu felt that the energy of his teammates had changed again!

The afternoon before yesterday, yesterday, the Trail Blazers conducted their last intensive tactical training before the start of the playoffs. Maurice Cheeks made it clear that he would play according to the adjusted style of play.

This is a signal that the playoffs are coming!

In fact, in the past 10 games, the coaching staff has gradually increased the playing time of the main players and reduced the playing time of the role players. The players have already felt that the playoffs are coming.

The next 60-win battle with the Suns, the Trail Blazers players regarded it as the opening of the playoffs!

Nash also clearly felt that the current Trail Blazers are very different from the previous three games.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after the game started, Nash confirmed the changes to the Trail Blazers!

Randolph showed his ferocious fangs in the paint at the beginning. Marion and Bully, whoever comes will be hammered. He made 3 of 3 shots in the beginning, plus 1 of 1 from free throws, and scored 7 points to open up the game for the Trail Blazers.

Next, Liu Xiu made 4 of 7 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. Although he had no chance to shoot a three-pointer due to Laja Bell's one-on-one defense and Marion's pick-and-roll defense, he still scored 12 points in a single quarter.

Coupled with Ray Allen's 4 points, Kwame Brown's 4 points, Millsap's 2 points... After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Suns by 6 points, 34-28!

Suddenly, Nash had the illusion of meeting the 70-win invincible team last season!
Chapter completed!
