The vice president smiled beside him. The coach of their prison team looked carefree, but he would never make a decision casually at a time like this. He would decide what was right and would not change it just because of these whims.

The vice president is ready to take over the coach's words and provide some spiritual guidance to the immature warden...

Liu Xiu suddenly realized and responded: "I see, yes, we should stick to it. Physical exhaustion is an objective reason, and we cannot determine whether our state is good or bad. But we can do it to maintain the continuity of our playing style. What?

What kind of tactics can more easily create good opportunities, what kind of defense can force the opponent to make more technical actions and passes..."

Seeing the warden talking incessantly, the vice president had blood in his throat...

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers conducted preparatory training. The next day, January 24, the match day came when the Trail Blazers faced the Menglong at home.

After a day of preparation, at 7:10 in the evening, the Menglong and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena one after another.

"Toronto Dragons, 25 wins and 16 losses, averaging 98.7 points per game and conceding 96.9 points per game..."

"Darko Milicic, 20 years old, 213 cm, 113 kg, PF/C, ability evaluation 84, offense 81, defense 87...averaged 15.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.6 blocks per game...shooting percentage 51.5

%, free throw shooting rate 56.7%..."

"Chris Bosh, 21 years old, 211 cm, 107 kg, PF/C, ability evaluation 88, offense 92, defense 79...averaged 22.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 block per game...shooting rate 48.7%, three

The shooting percentage was 28.6%..."

There is something very special about these twin towers.

Liu Xiu didn't need to look at the player detection reports of the two players, but only looked at their body shapes to understand why Kobe was able to score like that in the paint when he played against the Menglongs.

I heard that Milicic was losing weight last season, but he actually lost 113 kilograms from 120 kilograms at the beginning of last season!

The movement has become better, the passing is better, the blocking is better, the steal is better, and the rebound protection is also better.

The Menglong team replaced Sam Mitchell as the head coach last season. After a year of drastic changes, this season has had an effect. The cooperation between the two towers has become more tacit, each performing its own duties and growing steadily. This coach has also become

The popular candidate for the best coach of the season...but!

If nothing else, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up when he saw the butcher.

This is great for the twin towers. If the management doesn't get frustrated and doesn't lack money, there's nothing wrong with building a team around the two of them.

However, what interests Liu Xiu most about the Menglong team is not Milicic, who has steadily grown into a first-class center, nor Bosh, who has become a top offensive power forward, but another rookie who uses him as a template.

"Raymond Felton, 21 years old, 185 cm, 93 kg, PG, ability evaluation 79... averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game..."

Those who gained weight due to alcoholism, drug abuse, ankylosing spondylitis treatment drugs and other reasons are not counted. Center forwards like O'Neal and Eddie Curry are not counted. They are only guards. For the first time, Liu Xiu saw a real athlete.

Fat man.

At the beginning of his warden season, he was just an ordinary person, with muscles shrinking, body fat percentage increasing, muscle lines gone, and a small belly.

There is nothing wrong with the little fat classmate in front of me, who is called Fatton. If put together with ordinary people, he would be considered fat!

…

"The Archmage: State of the Game."

Copy object:

Teammate: Ray Allen, characteristic transformation talent: quick throw...

Opponent: Raymond Felton, characteristic transformation talent: tank (full health), bonus effect: strength +3.

The host's strength evaluation is temporarily increased to 97, and it is adaptive in shooting, technical movements, etc."

Liu Xiu felt that he would only copy Xiao Fei when he couldn't figure it out, but he still couldn't hold it back. In the end, he found that he would copy Xiao Fei only because he couldn't figure it out...

At 7:30 pm, the Blazers' home game against the Menglongs started.

The Menglong team sent out a starting lineup of Felton, Jaylen Rose, Maurice Peterson, Bosh, and Milicic.

The Trail Blazers sent out a starting lineup of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

Outlaw will miss tonight's game due to a minor knee sprain.

This is an injury he suffered when he fell during the last game. Although he can play the game, the difference between his knee and ankle is still quite big. He takes a rest when he needs to. For Rahim, his role is more important than being the sixth man.

It's reflected.

It was Bosh who won the jump ball, and he won the right to attack for the Menglong team, but it was the Trail Blazers who gained the advantage at the beginning!

Randolph and Rahim started the hard-hitting mode in the interior, and the Menglong team's two bamboo poles in the interior were completely unable to withstand it!

Randolph and Raheem both had 6 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to a 27-22 lead over the Menglongs by 5 points at the end of the first quarter.

Corresponding to the role of the two strikers on the offensive end, Liu Xiu restricted the Menglong team's talented point guard Xiao Fei.

Fei Dun encountered the most difficult opponent since entering the NBA!

Even when playing against Deron, Baron Davis, Francis and others, he was able to handle it in terms of strength. In his first match with Paul, he also scored 21 points and 11 assists, helping the Men's Dragons narrowly defeat the Jazz 104-100.

Team.

But against Liu Xiu, Feidun felt like he couldn't do anything!

The power he was so proud of was tightly controlled by Liu Xiu.

At first, when he saw Liu Xiu's languid smile and casual expression, his emotions were anger and dissatisfaction, and he wanted to overthrow this guy who is known as the king of new generation players and defeat his draft template.

As the first quarter ended, he played 4 minutes at the beginning of the quarter and re-entered the game for the last 3 minutes, playing a total of 7 minutes. He found that his statistics were 0-for-1 shooting, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and 3 turnovers.

Felton looked towards the opposite side, and the warden opposite happened to look towards him as well. When they looked at each other, the other side smiled at him.

Fear spread in Felton's heart... Even though that smiling face looked so beautiful, Felton felt fear!

…

Sam Mitchell did not continue to send Felton on in the second quarter. He knew that Liu Xiu must be very restrained by his rookie, but he did not expect that he could be so restrained!

Height, weight, strength, technology, basic skills, game experience... even speed and flexibility, as well as golf intelligence, everything, apart from being similar to Liu Xiu, Felton is not even better than Liu Xiu!

Sam Mitchell doesn't want to use Felton tonight if he doesn't have to.

The rookie's face is not important. If this continues, Xiaopang will be spoiled by the warden opposite who enjoys toying with the rookie!

In the second quarter, the player he sent at the point guard position was Mike James, a combo guard who played as a substitute for the Rockets last season.

Mike James averaged 12.4 points and 2.9 assists per game when he played as the sixth man for the Rockets last season. The Rams poached him back. At first, Sam Mitchell was planning to use him as a pseudo-starter for Felton.

Time to adjust to the NBA.

But it is very easy for a player like Fei Dun, who is modeled after Warden, to adapt to adult basketball. To be precise, he has not even had to adapt. He has the ability to start in an ordinary team and is close to an excellent level.

Combat strength.

Although it is difficult to start in the Menglong team, which has already become a strong team in the playoffs, the Menglong team does not use point guards as the core of tactics, but twin towers. In order to better polish the performance of the three young players

With a tacit understanding, Fei Dun took over directly.

Before Mike James came, he accepted a contract with the Mongolian Dragons after receiving a starting commitment from the Mongolian Dragons.

The Mongolian Dragons broke their promise, and Mike James was angry, but as an undrafted draft pick, he chose to accept it, but he did not give up. He has been working hard quietly. As the top substitute on the back line, he has averaged 10.1 points and 2.6 assists per game so far this season.

.

He didn't get a chance to play in the first quarter. In those few minutes, Calderon was the substitute for Fatton. When he got a chance in the second quarter, he took advantage of it!

Relying on Mike James' 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, the Menglong team's offensive performance picked up in the second quarter, scoring 25 points in a single quarter, and tied with the Trail Blazers at 25!

At the end of halftime, the Menglong team held on to the score 47-52.

Seeing that the Menglong team was heading in a good direction, in the third quarter, Sam Mitchell chose to give Fatton a chance to learn how Mike James played.

Fei Dun was very obedient this time, imitating Mike James and shooting mid-range and long-range shots in singles.

Mike James averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 43% this season, and he is fat. Although he also averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 35%, he

He is a defender whose rhythm flow focuses on controlling the field. Most of his scoring depends on his tacit cooperation with the twin towers.

The most important thing is that when Mike James is playing in singles, the person guarding him is Little Flying Squirrel or Blake. When Fatton is playing in singles, the person guarding him is Liu Xiu... As soon as the Menglong team started to gain momentum, it withered away!

Felton made 1 of 5 shots in a single quarter, plus 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 3 points, 1 assist, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. In addition to his poor personal performance, he also ruined the team's rhythm. The entire Menglong team ranked first.

Felton was the only one to attack in the third quarter.

The Trail Blazers took the opportunity to attack the Menglong team inside!

The Menglong team's offense collapsed, and their defensive mentality also exploded.

Liu Xiu had 6 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, Randolph had 8 points, Rahim had 10 points, and Ray Allen scored a three-pointer. Only 4 of the Trail Blazers scored in this quarter, but they were the only 4.

The score was 27 to 17 in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Menglongs by 15 points 79 to 64!

At the end of the quarter, Sam Mitchell regretted sending Fatton on in the third quarter. Little Fatty was really autistic...

He once again sent out Mike James. Mike James has always tried to seize every opportunity to have consistent playing time. He was lucky tonight. When he played again, he encountered a quarter where the Trail Blazers' overall state plummeted.

In the last quarter, Liu Xiu scored 4 points, Ray Allen scored 5 points, and Blake scored 4 points. The rest of them only scored 4 points through free throws. This time, it was their turn to have only 1 assist in a single quarter.

The offense was sluggish and the defense was not doing well. Under the leadership of Mike James with 8 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, the Menglong team surged by 28 points in the final quarter, chasing 11 points in a single quarter!

Mike James' outstanding performance shocked Liu Xiu. Only then did he remember that this was the inspirational man who averaged 20 points and 5 assists per game during his peak period!

Fortunately, he, Ray Allen, and Blake scored some points in the final quarter, otherwise they would have almost been overturned.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Randolph had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Raheem had 19 points and 6 rebounds, and Ray Allen had 15 points...

For the Menglong team, Felton made 1 of 6 shots and scored 3 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 turnovers and 3 fouls. Mike James had 17 points and 7 assists. Milicic had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Bosh had all the points.

Game-high 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists...

In the end, the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Menglong Team 96-92, improving their record to 36 wins and 6 losses!
