Healing Basketball

   Chapter 229 229. Three sections and three pairs! (5th more ask for a monthly pass)

  The previous play style of the Kings was also team priority, and the core was constantly switching. This is the important feature of the Princeton system.

   But there is always a focus.

   And whoever was in poor condition that night, he tried his best to avoid the situation where he was the main attack point, and the person who was in better condition attacked more.

   When playing in turns, it looked like the same thing at first, but as we played, the problem was exposed.

   There is always the one who is not in good shape. In the cooperation, there will always be an unexpected situation like Webber being capped, which will cause dissatisfaction and affect the way they want to play the "turning core".

   A little bit of disadvantage is like a snowball…

   When Liu Xiugang guessed this situation, he couldn't believe it.

  This is ridiculous!

   But after he was convinced, he didn't feel strange anymore.

If not, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Brad Miller, Divac and others will not be affected by injuries after Webber's return, and the tactical coordination looks so good, how can the Kings be in Webber? 6 wins and 9 losses in 15 games since his comeback?

   In reality, there will be even more bizarre situations than expected.

   The Kings in front of you are!

   But what does this have to do with his warden?

   Sorrow for the other party?

   It's not too late to feel this way after the opponent is out of the playoffs.

  Liu Xiu confirmed that his guess was correct. After being surprised, he stopped worrying about it and devoted himself to the game!

   In this situation, if you lose, that would be a shame!

   After scoring 7 points at the start, Liu Xiu was heavily marked by the Kings.

  The Kings used 'take turns being the core' as a method to ease conflicts within the team, which was actually very useful. At first, the Kings were unwilling to help each other on defense. After this method, the defense has recovered.

Indeed, after Webber's return, the Kings' defense is better than before. They lost 99 points per game and became an offensive team. In the last few games, the Kings' average loss per game has been controlled to 94 points, ranking 12th in the league. , Counting the brisk offensive and defensive rhythm, it is already very good, and the efficiency has reached the tenth in the league.

   This is really tough for the Blazers who are playing under pressure.

   Even if the Kings have this virtue, relying on their star power, good defense and tacit cooperation in defense, it will not be easy for the Blazers to win.

   However, after Liu Xiu started 7 points, the Kings defense was disturbed by him!

   In the next time, Liu Xiu scored 5 points and 2 assists.

   Relying on the performance of 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, Liu Xiu led the team to a single quarter score of 27 to 23!

  There is actually no problem with the Kings defensive end, but the contradictions on the offensive end have entered a contradiction snowball mode from the very beginning in every game, and the problem is getting bigger and bigger.

   In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 21-14 in the first 9 minutes, widening the difference to 11 points in one fell swoop!

   But in the last two minutes of the first half, the Kings returned a wave of 9-3, chasing the single-quarter score to 23-24.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Kings by 5 points 51-46.

  Although they still maintain a good lead, Liu Xiu and his teammates have learned one thing - the Kings are not completely rotten, there are still dangerous stages!

At the end of the second quarter, nearly three minutes into the game time, Liu Xiu went to use trash talk to stimulate Bibby or Peja, but they are old, and the regular time will be affected. When everyone thinks it's time to fight, his trash talk impact is not significant.

   But it doesn't matter, under his leadership, the state of the teammates has already played out tonight!

  …

Back at halftime, under the intimidating emphasis of Maurice Cheeks, under Randolph's slobbering urging, under the awe of the Warden's smiling demon... The Jailers' players put the first half of the game down. The contempt that had built up was thrown away.

   Go all out and take on the Kings!

   However, the Trail Blazers are looking too high on the Kings after all.

   During halftime, Webber tried to unite his teammates as the boss...and then got into a fight again.

   If they were really that easy to adjust, they wouldn't be 6-9.

   THEY ARE PEOPLE! Live people! A person with rich and delicate emotions!

   No one can stand the words and practices of the management of the Kings. Peja and Brad Miller both stand on the opposite side of Webber, and Bibby also has this tendency.

  The Kings defense is still difficult to deal with, they all have the bottom line of playing - professionalism.

   However, the performance on the offensive end declined and he failed to make a shot, which still gave the Blazers a chance.

Maurice Cheeks seized the opportunity, Liu Xiu, Momo, Raheem, and Randolph's combination came on the court, betting that the Kings' perimeter players could not make a shot in the confrontation + infighting, and fought back !

  This time, it was the right bet!

   Liu Xiu scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Trail Blazers score 34-20 in a single quarter!

   After three quarters, the score came to 85 to 66, and the Blazers led the Kings by 19 points!

   Relying on 16 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the first half, Liu Xiu played 32 minutes in the third quarter, scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and clocked in in three quarters!

  When Liu Xiu was replaced, the fans were crazy!

  Crazy March, Liu Xiu stole a lot of NCAA limelight.

   But after March Madness, they naturally felt that Liu Xiu's highlight month was over.

   They are looking forward to the last month when Liu Xiuneng beats Anthony to become the top contender in the Western Conference for Rookie of the Year.

   They feel a lot of pressure. Anthony has averaged 20+ per game for 5 consecutive months, and even has a single-month performance of 25+ per game. The season-to-date average of 23.4 points per game is already stronger than Iverson in his rookie season.

  Anthony also won the Rookie of the Month for two consecutive months in January and February, surpassing Liu Xiu's twice.

   So Blazers fans are not blindly optimistic.

   But Liu Xiu's performance tonight made the confidence of the Blazers fans surge!

  Three quarters and three doubles!

Who else!

  …

   Liu Xiu didn't fight at the end, the difference came.

   In the final quarter, there were fewer core players on the Kings side. In the past, at least three of the four core players were guaranteed to be present, but the final quarter was almost garbage time, and only Bibby and Brad Miller played.

   But the Kings' defense is still very good, which is the foundation of the Kings' standing in the Wild West.

  The Trail Blazers used Momo, Wesley Person, Harrington, Miles, and Ruben Bonteje in the final quarter, and only scored 16 points in a single quarter.

When Liu Xiu was there, they played very easily, but when they came to lead the team, Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Raheem were not there. Momonga was a little disturbed when he met Bibby. There was a guy named Gerald- Wallace's 3rd grade water cooler manager makes unprepared Harrington suffer...

   This one, Gerald Wallace, caught the eye of the little owner of a new team who was watching a Blazers game on a whim!

   But the result was no surprise.

  Although the Kings scored 25-16 in the final quarter, relying on the lead in the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers still beat the Kings 101-91 and won their 54th victory this season, improving their record to 54 wins and 20 losses!

   The final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu was prompted by the system, and the 11th S-level score this season was in hand!

   The fans at the scene were very excited, and they were still shouting Liu Xiu's nickname after the game.

   The reporters came very quickly, and there was also a live broadcast on the Imperial Palace tonight, so the opportunity for interviews was naturally theirs.

  Tonight is the old friend Su Qun, who said: "Jess congratulations on becoming the second rookie in NBA history to get 10 triple-doubles, and the first person in modern basketball. How do you feel now?"

   Liu Xiu called the expert!

   means 'history' and 'first person'.

   He is a restrained and humble person, and said modestly: "Thank you, I am also very happy."

   That's it! Well, Su Qun got used to it and continued to ask: "You are still in very good form tonight, continuing your performance in March. Do you think you can continue to be in such a state?"

   Liu Xiu replied: "Mr. Su, I did not continue my performance in March."

  Su Qun asked this question because he wanted to bring up the next topic—the battle for the best rookie.

   But Liu Xiu doesn't play cards according to the routine!

   He recognized it, and was led by Liu Xiu and asked, "Didn't you continue your performance in March?"

   "Yes, March has turned the page, a new month has come, and today is just the beginning.

   Next, keep your eyes open, Showtime! "

  …

  …

   Liu Xiu's 10th triple-double in his rookie season, and he said that this is just the beginning, making people keep their eyes open to see his next performance.

   No matter how good the game just finished, such a rhetoric when the stars are shining at the end of the season, and the Blazers have such a difficult schedule.

No. 6 away to the Timberwolves, No. 8 away to the Nuggets, No. 10 away to the Spurs, No. 11 to play the Warriors at home, No. 13 to play the Lakers at home, No. 15 and No. 16 to play the Suns at home and away alternately, No. 18 Playing the Lakers away.

   There are 8 games in 13 days. The schedule is tight. There are two back-to-back games. The opponent in the three games is the favorite for the championship.

  Liu Xiu was not considered steady in the eyes of people, and after being ridiculed for three quarters and three doubles, she floated away.

   As a result, the Blazers fans were pitted by their warden again, and their trust in Liu Xiu was already blind, and they struggled to match up with various netizens on the Internet...

  I am glad that the major media and alliances - they continue to pay more attention to Liu Xiu!

   March is the most tortured time for those editors and writers who mainly report on the NBA. Whatever they write, it is difficult to grab the topic from the NCAA Crazy March.

   But about Liu Xiu, they don't need to work hard, as long as they report it, they will gain popularity!

  No, in two days, it will be the NCAA basketball championship finals.

The University of Connecticut, the No. 1 pick favorite Emeka Okafor, joined the finals of Georgia Tech with its owners Will Bynum, Luke Hingchel, Jarrett Jack and other talented NBA prospects. The most important thing in North American basketball.

   But I was stunned by Liu Xiu's three-quarter triple-double and rhetoric grabbed the page!

  Regardless of the public opinion, he began to formally contact professional basketball in the fall of 2002, entered the NBA lottery area within a year, and became a popular star in the industry in less than two years.

   In the college basketball world, Liu Xiu is a legend!

  The limelight of the NCAA finals, Liu Xiuzhao grabbed it!

  …

  …
