I am the Warden Chapter 52: Rookie triple-double!
Self-declaration...When he was talking nonsense before, he told Baron Davis that he would continue to learn and develop Baron Davis' skills only if they won tonight. He was just talking trash.
As a result, the system took this as the mission objective!
But he was just speechless about this task.
Win...of course we have to win!
…
After the intermission, the final quarter began.
The Trail Blazers, the combination of Liu Xiu, Reuben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace are on the court!
The Hornets, Baron Davis, Darrell Armstrong, Steve Smith, David West, and P.J. Brown came on the court.
Short-term leader Darrell Armstrong is more of a shooting guard than Baron Davis.
In this lineup, Baron Davis returns to the point guard position.
When the Trail Blazers saw the opponent's lineup, they knew that the opponent had no intention of giving up!
The Trail Blazers attacked first.
Coming up, Liu Xiu chose to play singles!
Liu Xiu, under the defense of Baron Davis, forced his way to the basket, and then he made a forced shot in the interior with the help of PJ Brown... He was lucky enough and the ball hit the rim and bounced into the basket!
This ball was partly due to luck, but the most important thing was that Liu Xiu played with determination.
P.J. Brown has a big center, and his defense will be super strong, just like when he and Mourning partnered up, Mourning was not selected for the All-Defensive Team yet, but he was selected first.
But he has no other advantages at the center position except his height.
12 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists! The team score is 86 to 75, and the Trail Blazers lead by 11 points!
It was Baron Davis' turn to attack. Just like Liu Xiu was not shooting mid-range shots under Baron Davis' defense, Baron Davis did not force the shot facing Liu Xiu and went straight to the basket!
But the treatment difference is a bit big. Rasheed Wallace is in a good position, has solid defensive basics, and excellent defensive awareness. Baron Davis passes the ball, P.J. Brown receives the ball around the position, but is out of the shooting range, so he jumps over the bridge from close range!
Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound!
There was no rush, but Liu Xiu slowly pushed forward by slowing down the pace. Their strategy in the final quarter was to slow down the pace and maintain the lead of about 10 points.
Take your time!
It's the Hornets who want a fast-paced offense and defense now, not them.
At the frontcourt, Liu Xiu broke through again!
The Hornets' defense was compressed, and Liu Xiu was ready when he broke in, paying attention to his teammates in high positions and passing the ball...Kobe Terminator!
Reuben Patterson gave Liu Xiu face and made a jump shot after receiving the ball from a fixed spot!
88 to 75, the score difference widened to 13 points!
12 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, Liu Xiu got a triple-double!
The Flying Squirrel, the Butcher, and the Outlaw led the crowd on the sidelines, shouting "Triple-double! Triple-double!"
The Trail Blazers players noticed this at the end of the third quarter and were ready. No matter whether the opportunity was good or not, as long as Liu Xiu passed the ball to them, they would throw it. If it didn't go in, they would just play defense.
Triple-double in the rookie season! You may not get one in a season!
Among the current players, those who can get a triple-double in their rookie season include Francis, Kidd, Odom, Andre Miller, Anthony Walker... I can't even put two hands together!
And there are more than 400 people in the entire NBA!
When the Hornets players heard the news, they realized that Liu Xiu had already got a triple-double!
Wait, this means that when Liu Xiu came on the court, he was only one assist away?
The Hornets players all had similar thoughts - if I am one assist away from a triple-double and have the ball, my first choice would definitely be to pass the ball!
But for his first goal, Liu Xiu first forced his way into the frame, compressed the opponent's defense, and then made a sudden pass to a high position!
Some shocks may not be caused by some great event, but just a small thing, which can bring a very special feeling to the opponent and make the opponent remember it for a long time.
The Hornets players will remember these two rounds!
This little episode did not affect the progress of the game. Getting a triple-double in his rookie season is impressive, but it is not nothing either. After the shock, the game continued .
Baron Davis didn't want to face both of these situations at the same time. He wanted to score points and lead the team to a comeback!
After three rounds, Baron Davis made a step-back three-pointer over Liu Xiu's head and caused a foul. He was so angry!
Baron Davis made one of two free throws. After these three rounds, Baron Davis's statistics during the matchup with Liu Xiu were 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Fortunately, Liu Xiu also got 1 point, 1 rebound and 1 assist during this period, and the three main data increased to 13 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists, still maintaining the advantage.
After being beaten, Liu Xiu wanted to fight back. The first thing he did was to ask Kobe's Terminator for help and double-team defense!
In the following period of time, the double point guard combination of the Hornets, which had hoped to struggle, collapsed!
Baron Davis has the ability to play with or without the ball, but Darrell Armstrong is a pure ball-handling attacker.
In this lineup, Darrell Armstrong should actually be the main point guard, but Baron Davis has been playing singles the rest of the time.
And this was predicted by Liu Xiu!
There are many players like Darrell Armstrong who just stands still without the ball in his hands and it is useless to scold him.
After Baron Davis got angry, he was attacked by Liu Xiu and Reuben Patterson. After his energy was suppressed, it was difficult for him to regain it.
During this period, Liu Xiu entered a state of blindly fighting!
In this lineup, Randolph and Flying Squirrel are not there, and Tianzun enters the 3D state, allowing Liu Xiu to play alone.
Liu Xiu played like a tiger, and even though he was being closely guarded, he scored 4 points with 5 shots... At 6 minutes and 37 seconds into the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu's score increased to 17 points, with 12 assists.
Rebounds...18!
It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack again. Liu Xiu broke through and made a strong shot... but it missed. The Hornets grabbed the defensive rebound and called a timeout. The timeout entered the official stage. The Hornets replaced their main players and surrendered!
96 to 82, with a little over 5 minutes left and a 16-point difference, some teams would feel there is still hope.
But the Hornets only scored 7 points in the past 6 minutes! The Trail Blazers played a half-quarter score of 12 to 7.
There is no hope.
Of these 7 points, 6 were scored by Baron Davis.
When he was substituted, Baron Davis had 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. When he was facing off against Liu Xiu, his data was 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
As for Liu Xiu, except for the first 4 minutes, he was absent during the rest of the time when Baron Davis was on the court.
Now, Baron Davis was replaced, and he was replaced too.
Maurice Cheeks let the Flying Squirrel go up to support the team, and Randolph clocked out after three quarters!
In the first three quarters, if Liu Xiu was the biggest contributor on the outside, then Randolph was undoubtedly the biggest contributor on the inside. His stats of 14 points and 6 rebounds were not very good, but he carried a 129-kilogram tractor, was a huge threat on the offensive end, and was able to block rebounds... His stats were not very good, but seeing that his efforts helped the team win, Randolph felt that he really loved the feeling now...
…
Liu Xiu sat on the sidelines, feeling a little sad...
The tasks should be completed.
The game was stable, and it was good for the little flying squirrel to lead the team.
but……
At 9:24 p.m. on November 17, 2003, after 2 hours and 24 minutes, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Hornets came to an end.
The away team Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets 106-94, winning four consecutive games and improving their record to 6 wins and 4 losses!
The fans on the South Coast may all be equally free and easy. Before the game was over, most of the fans had already left.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Hornets are new here.
In the past two seasons, the owner of the Hornets hoped that the move would increase ticket sales and live broadcast sales, but it did not meet his expectations...
When the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a system prompt!
"The game between the Trail Blazers and the Hornets has ended. The host's competitive relationship with the Hornets players has ended."
"The game between the Trail Blazers and the Hornets has ended. Talent: Template bonus effect has ended."
“Match Rating:
Game type: Regular season.
Basic Reward: 500 Healing Points.
Minutes: 32.
Statistics: 7 of 15 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, 17 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, 3 fouls.
Analytical rating: S.
Influence: S.
Overall rating: S.
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 950 healing points."
The second S-level rated match!
Got a triple-double in his rookie season!
Liu Xiu had never thought about this. He did think about it when he scored 34 points, but he never expected a triple-double. Now that he got it, he was naturally very excited, but!
The points are lower than the rebounds!
He could only be thankful that he dared to fight hard in the final quarter, otherwise he might have scored the lowest score...
The task completion prompt also came.
"Name of Genius: The host has completed all goals. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Baron Davis' designated technical training method (first-class)."
"Template: The total value of the three main data during the match between the host and Baron Davis, host: 47, Baron Davis: 39. Mission completed, congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: speed +1."
Seeing that the mission of "The Name of Genius" was completed, Liu Xiu put aside the small depression that the score was lower than the rebounds. It was not a big deal!
There is a man who is famous for being beaten by his wife, and this happens often. In the future, there will be another man who is hit by a cannon fist, and this also happens often.
A training method that can train to a first-class level! If it is the right technique, Liu Xiu thought of learning back-to-back play from Randolph... This time, it can be trained to a level of 85!
If you ignore the explosiveness, speed and jumping ability, he and Baron Davis are very similar in other aspects!
He was already very happy, but when he saw the reward for the "template"... speed +1!
He randomly got the reward he wanted most, speed increase!
Completely in a state of ecstasy...
…
A warden who doesn't offend people!
Tonight, my teammates were a little bit uncomfortable.
After the game with the Hornets, Liu Xiu smiled cheerfully to everyone he saw. It was not his usual habitual smile, nor was it the kind of smile that narrowed his eyes and gave people a dangerous feeling. It was a truly warm smile...
When the away reporters interviewed him after the game, even though Liu Xiu played so well, the reporters' questions were thorny and contained swords, but he did not get angry and answered the questions properly.
This made the female reporter feel embarrassed. He was handsome, spoke so nicely, was good at fighting... No, he was able to give women a sense of security...
Liu Xiu was so happy because the speed was 88!
Nearly a year ago, after he became a semi-professional athlete, he initially trained on his running and jumping abilities.
Speed, 87, first-rate, basically at the limit. According to the trainer, unless you ignore everything else and just focus on improving speed, lose weight, and don’t train anything else but running, then there may be room for improvement...
Now there is finally an improvement!
He was so happy that he went to bed. At 11:30 pm, he turned on the simulation training mode and entered the small dark room. Only then did he calm down completely by leaning against the small dark room.
Speed +1 is indeed great, but it did not bring about a qualitative change in his speed. There was definitely a change, but after analyzing it, he concluded that it would definitely not bring about much of .
I just mean that there will be opportunities for improvement in the future.
But it is estimated that it will be difficult. Now that his mind is clear, he analyzed it and found that this is related to the template player he met. The probability of triggering the task with the same reward again when playing against Baron Davis next time is basically zero.
It is difficult to find other players who are so similar to him.
This is a goal, but we cannot focus on it.
The most important thing now is which skill of Baron Davis should be selected?
"Baron Davis's designated technical training method (first-class): Optional techniques: 1. Change of direction breakthrough in front of the body, 2. Pull-up jump shot, 3. Step-over attack (no ball + breakthrough)."
There are only these three skills to choose from. Liu Xiu thought about it and thought that maybe Baron Davis only had these three skills, which were at the first-class level or above.
It may seem like a small amount, but it is not that simple.
For a role player, it is good enough if he can have one skill that reaches the NBA first-class level in his lifetime. If he can have multiple skills that reach the first-class level, he will definitely start from the star level.
Liu Xiu thought about it and stopped worrying about it...
"Learn to break through!"
"Baron Davis's designated technical training method (first-class): designated front-body change of direction breakthrough."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the training method: Front-body change of direction breakthrough (Barron Davis version) (up to 85)."
Some images flooded into Liu Xiu’s mind, images of “his own” training.
The system's simulation training section now has the option of "front-end change of direction breakthrough (Baron Davis version) (up to 85)".
Be so decisive. It’s so troublesome to worry about such things!
He felt that the ability to launch an attack was more important to him now.
To finish the offense, you must first practice the basic skills of finishing the offense, which is shooting!
…
It is a tacit consensus among the North American media that they do not want to report the good aspects of Liu Xiu.
Just like what happened to Yao Ming in his rookie season.
Moreover, compared with the kind-hearted Yao Ming, Liu Xiu's experience was even more miserable.
Liu Xiu got the first triple-double of the 2003 rookie class! In the fifth game of his rookie season, he got 17 points, 18 rebounds and 12 assists. This must be big news. If it was an American player, it would be hyped up.
But at this time, the fight was brought up again. The Pistons had played 10 games so far with only 3 wins and 7 losses, and Liu Xiu was also blamed...
But even in such an environment of public opinion, Liu Xiu's triple-double also brought about a considerable impact - the "Prisoners of Love" group grew stronger.
The media succeeded in portraying him as a villain, but the title of genius, this, cannot be discredited!
