As a scout, I usually go to investigate NCAA players and investigate the information of each team. Tickets and hotels are all paid for by public funds, and I can even take my wife with me.

After retirement, Payton rarely comes to the Rose Garden Arena. Including the opening match, he has received a ring. After the new season begins, he has been treated three times. Today is the fourth time. Liu Xiu guessed that Payton does not want to be regarded as a free laborer.

So, when Liu Xiu thought of Payton, he called him as soon as possible.

"Warner, your defense is already enough. The point guards I have seen for so many years may be Dumas and Kidder better than your defense. Defensive experts like Brelock and Stockton may not be as good as you... Although I am also a point guard, I must admit that the defense of the ball guard has the least impact on the defense of the team in all positions."

Liu Xiu found that Payton's way of speaking had changed. When this guy was still a player, he couldn't say the defense of his playing position was useless.

Liu Xiu did not deny it, responding: "It is difficult for our team to stabilize the offensive end, and it will become more and more unstable. The scorers are all tired. This problem cannot be solved. The big boss doesn't want to trade defending heroes so easily. We can only slowly get through this period... In order to win, we can only continue to improve our defense. I looked at our team for a while and I have the greatest room for improvement. If my defensive level can be as good as you, or close to your level, our team's defense will inevitably become better... Are you afraid that I will become better than you?"

"Who will be afraid of you! Start practicing now? Will you delay the evening game?"

"It's okay, I'll recover after lunch after a nap."

"Fake... I hate you all the physical weirdos..."

…

Scouts are also considered to be part of their own team!

Moreover, maybe because he is not a player, Payton has more time to teach and more time to prepare for teaching, and Liu Xiu has started the full version of the "Glove Stream" defensive training learning method.

Another 24,000 healing value was spent...

In the past 40 minutes in the morning, Payton did not teach, but played with Liu Xiu for a while and fought bullfighting.

After retiring for half a year, Payton's body size is still very good, not 30 kilograms in half a year like Jordan retired for the second time.

One-on-one single match is not comparable to the competition, and many things cannot be seen.

But Payton knew Liu Xiu's defense very well, and he just observed the details.

Payton knew that Liu Xiu had been busy all summer and did not have time to strengthen his defense, but compared with last season's playoffs, he could still see that Liu Xiu had made obvious progress on the defensive end.

Payton was playing bullfighting with Liu Xiu cursingly. Liu Xiu now had something to ask for, but he was not forgiven. He fought back irritably, making Payton so angry that he didn't want it.

In the afternoon, Payton did not leave, and he was preparing to watch tonight's game on site.

If you fight against the Suns, the Suns, the strongest offensive team in the league, you may be able to better see what Liu Xiu lacks in the defensive end now.

In fact, the point guard's defensive ability that Payton mentioned has the smallest impact on the team in all positions, and the meaning is slightly different from the literal one.

What he wants to express is that most point guards who are good at defending are only concerned about their own good defense, rushing ahead, only caring about enjoying the help of their teammates, but rarely helping their teammates on the defensive end.

This is the real "defensive ability has the least impact on the team".

If Liu Xiu was such a point guard, when he was a teammate, Payton might have helped the championship and taught him that even if he had a good relationship in private after retirement, he would find reasons to refuse. It really doesn't make much sense.

But what Payton knew was that Liu Xiu started practicing defense since the second grade, and regarded himself as a part of the team, and it has been like this until now.

Last season, Liu Xiu was surprised that he was selected as the second defense because only one defense, Payton also felt that Liu Xiu was still a little short of time, but now they are still a little short of it.

But the role Liu Xiu plays in overall defense is definitely worthy of the award of "Best Defensive Team", which was voted by the head coaches of each team.

At 7:40 pm, the Trail Blazers players were waiting in the player channel for the Suns to enter the field first.

"Warner, do you know? There are many TV stations live broadcasting in this game. They all want to watch our three consecutive losses. I won't let them succeed, so, this butcher comes back tonight... Hey! Warden, are you listening to me?"

"Ah? Are you talking to me?"

"Warner! This butcher is going to kill you!"

"Okay, okay, enter..."

The spotlight at the entrance of the away players' passage has been turned off, the away team has finished playing, and the lights are on the home team's player passage.

Liu Xiu was the first to run out of the player channel. The position of his teammates in the player channel seemed to be messy, but the order of running out behind Liu Xiu was actually fixed... When Randolph ran out in training suit, the screams of fans on the scene suddenly rose!

Butcher, the strongest inside player in the eyes of the prison team fans, is difficult to do without a butcher.

Although some rational fans think that the Butcher often drags the warden back during this period after the start of the new season, the opponent tonight is the Suns, so that doesn't exist...

Randolph actually got Thomas Carter's permission to play before playing against the Pacers, but the coach was worried that he would be injured again and chose a better opponent.

Liu Xiujue's coach's decision was right, but the Suns... will definitely not be easier to play than the Pacers.

"Phoenix Suns, 12 wins and 3 losses, averaging 111 points per game, and averaging 92.4 points per game... shooting percentage is 50.1%, limiting opponent's shooting percentage is 46%, three-point shooting percentage is 40%, limiting opponent's three-point shooting percentage is 37%..."

"Steve Nash, 32 years old, 191 cm, 88 kg, PG, ability evaluation 97, offense 96, defense 65, pass 100... Average 19.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 12.4 assists per game... shooting percentage 55%, three-point shooting percentage 46%, free throw shooting percentage 92%..."

That's outrageous!

Nash, who is one year older, has achieved his best performance in his career!

Liu Xiu thought that Nash was already the strongest pure point guard after the Magic, but he didn't expect that he would be stronger this year!

In fact, in the original time and space, Nash's 06-07 season was indeed the peak year of his career, and that year he ranked second in the MVP rankings.

But Nash that year was similar to Duncan in the 2003-04 season. When he played the highest efficiency in his career, he had two consecutive MVPs and met an opponent who performed better than him. Duncan met another No. 21, and Nash met Nowitzki, who scored 67 wins.

In addition to Nash who has the ability to evaluate 97, Liu Xiu looked at it, and there was also a little overlord who has the ability to evaluate 92 and a hacker who has the ability to evaluate 91.

Under the treatment of joint team doctor Thomas Carter, the Suns' health is very good this year. Barbosa, Laga Bale, Dior, James Jones, Cote Thomas and other five other main players have not been missing in a game so far!

In other words, this team with an average shooting percentage of 50% of the team is in its best state!

Is that record going to be broken?
