Healing Basketball

   Chapter 137 137. He's about the same as me!

  Stephen Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Joe Johnson, Sean Marion, Amare Stoudemire.

  These names are put together, and the fans who only look at the names of the team to evaluate the strength of the team are about to climax.

  This team is too strong!

   Plus this team made the playoffs last season, it looks like it's going to take off, right?

   But this team is 8 wins and 19 losses so far.

  There are constant conflicts between players, the relationship between the star Marbury and the management is on the verge of fire and water, and the four core scorers are grabbing the right to shoot...

   The Blazers coaching staff dared to let the players rest for three days for a reason.

For such an opponent, just play directly on the court, really let them prepare for the battle... Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchard might as well think about how to quarrel with the management and ask the management to be more patient Watch their progress.

   At 7 p.m., the Blazers vs. Suns game started.

   Trail Blazers starting: Derrick Anderson, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.

  Suns starting: Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Joe Johnson, Marion, Amare Stoudemire.

  Xiaobawang beat Tianzun to win the jump ball, and the Blazers retreated in an orderly manner.

  Trade Jeff McGinnis, it doesn't actually have much impact on the Blazers... Still there!

   The extrajudicial fanatic had a very positive start. Marbury changed his direction to break into the basket and was pressed against the rebound by the extrajudicial fanatic.

   Nail board big hat!

   Randolph grabbed the rebound and turned around. The extrajudicial fanatics cut in the middle to receive Randolph who was attacking from a low position, and setter to the flank. Tianzun received the ball and hit two points.

   1 cap and 1 assist at the start, the 19-year-old extrajudicial fanatic announced to the coaching staff - I am younger! more talented! choose me! choose me!

  …

   After the game started, the Blazers quickly took the initiative.

   And the Suns have no tendency to come back...

  There was internal chaos on the Suns side, as well as external factors—everyone from Marbury to the Bully had trade rumors.

   New arrival Darius Myers puts a lot of pressure on Travis Outlaw.

   However, the 00th No. 3 pick, the first game he joined, did not get a chance to play until the garbage time at the end.

On Liu Xiu's side, he played 21 minutes in the first three quarters, made 2 of 4 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists... Scored in the middle of the third quarter. The double was replaced and clocked in to get off work.

   After three quarters, the score was 76-50.

   Liu Xiu sat on the sidelines to rest at the end, watching the extrajudicial fanatics staring at the garbage time to get a chance to play KG, that kind of nervousness, that competitive attitude... It was the first time I saw it from the extrajudicial fanatics!

  'The coaching staff traded KG back, not to replace the extrajudicial fanatic, the talent is similar, the extrajudicial fanatic is only 19 years old, and the little KG has been in the fourth year of his career... They are here to stimulate the extrajudicial fanatic! ’

   This is unfair to the 2000 third flower show... Liu Xiu thinks the team did a great job!

  …

  …

  98 to 80, the Trail Blazers beat the Suns, improving the record to 20 wins and 8 losses! For the first time this season, the winning rate has reached 70%, surpassing the Spurs with 20 wins and 9 losses, and rushed to the third place in the West!

   Currently, the Kings are first in the Western Conference with 22 wins and 5 losses, and the Timberwolves are second in the Western Conference with 21 wins and 7 losses.

   The Prison team came third in the West, and it was also a hot news, but the evaluation was not high.

   Because the Blazers' first 28 games, two-thirds are home games.

   The record of 20 wins and 8 losses is mostly due to the super long consecutive home games in the past half a month.

   This matter is changed to another team, and it will not be written down.

   But on the Blazers who rushed to the third place in the West, it must be written in great detail.

   And predict when the Blazers will return to the bottom half of the Western Conference playoffs.

  On the second day of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns, at noon on December 27, the NBA officially announced that the starting voting for the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend game began!

   All-Star starting voting has begun, representing the NBA's entry into a new phase of the season - mid-season.

  …

   It's been a long time since I played on the road, and the Blazers players who set off for the away game were very excited.

   When the league announced the start of the All-Star starting voting, the Trail Blazers had come to Chicago, the first city of the five consecutive players in the East.

  When everyone had lunch together, Randolph, the representative, asked Liu Xiu in anticipation: "Warden, can you be selected as an All-Star starter in your rookie season like Yao?"

   Originally this matter has nothing to do with their Blazers, and they don’t care about it, but this season is different, they have a warden!

   In this year's All-Star voting, 6 people from the Trail Blazers entered the shortlist, Randolph, Tianzun, Ruben Patterson, Dale Davis, Momo, and Liu Xiu.

  Liu Xiu touched his chin, squinted his eyes and pouted, "I don't know, I think I can, as long as you don't drag me back, the record can be maintained..."

  The yin and yang strange air warden harvested another wave of healing points...and chased by several other people from the 'Rose Bay Seven People'.

   But several teammates have listened to it - the record can't be collapsed! Don't hold back the warden!

  The outside world said that their current record of 20 wins and 8 losses is based on consecutive home games. Although they are used to the outside world's remarks, most of the time they dismiss it... But this time they are very concerned about it!

   How does this concern manifest itself?

   Take the game seriously!

  In the afternoon and evening, in Chicago, a big city that can be drunk, even Randolph didn't go out to fool around.

   The chief assistant heard that Randolph was studying the Bulls video in the afternoon and didn't go to the nightclub at night... Hurry up and call the doctor to examine Randolph!

  …

  …

  At 5:16 in the evening on December 28, at the United Center in Chicago, the Blazers and Bulls have entered the game one after another.

  Why is that guy a Rookie of the Year favorite, but not Stockton Jr.?

  Hinrich looked at the same-year point guard Haosheng who was being interviewed by a Chinese TV station opposite!

   He is in the Eastern Conference, competing with the No. 1 overall pick for the Rookie of the Month, and Zero may grab the Rookie of the Month next month.

   But on the west side, Liu Xiu actually prevailed in the competition with Anthony, the currently recognized strongest player in the 2003 class!

   Hinrich looked at the data on him and Liu Xiu on the big screen above his head.

   Liu Xiu played 23 games, averaging 14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

   Hinrich played 29 games, averaging 10.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

   The data is almost the same!

   That is, his 37% shooting percentage is 10 percentage points lower than the opponent's 47% shooting percentage, and the opponent team's 20-8 record is better than his team's 7-22 record...

   Well, compared to this, Hinrich thinks that the other party is really good...Which director is in charge of the big screen? Don't want to work anymore?

   The most outrageous thing for Hinrich is that after Bosh only scored 1 rebound in 3 consecutive games and averaged 6.6 rebounds per game, Liu Xiu, who averaged 6.7 rebounds per game, temporarily ranked first in this year's rookie rebounding list!
