Healing Basketball

   Chapter 475 475. It's finally Rose Bay's turn!

   At 7 am, Anne Hathaway opened the curtains and looked out at the garden. Sure enough, within a few seconds, Liu Xiu hugged her from behind.

   "Jess, your biological clock is so powerful that you wake up on time every morning." Anne Hathaway said while grabbing Liu Xiu's hand that was about to move.

  Liu Xiu stopped angrily and said resentfully, "Annie, your self-discipline is even more powerful. You get up at 6 o'clock every morning to exercise..."

   Liu Xiu only spoke half of what she said. Anne Hathaway looked like she didn't understand and asked Liu Xiu to wash up. She went downstairs to help her sister-in-law make breakfast.

   After taking a bath, Liu Xiu looked at the calendar and was in a very happy mood.

  Finally, the most brutal stage of the end-of-season schedule is finally over!

   In the past 5 days and 4 battles, the pressure was really great.

  Beginning with the Kings, Liu Xiu's goal is to rush to at least 59 wins before playing against the Suns and Mavericks, and be prepared for both the Suns and the Mavericks to lose.

   It's not that he is ambitious, but he is always calm in this regard.

   Work harder in the front, and you can deal with it more easily when facing the top two teams in the Western Conference, without accumulating all the pressure.

   He even looked forward to winning all 6 games after playing the Kings, rushing to 60 wins first, and going wild in the next 3 games...

   During breakfast time, Qing'er was very happy today, and she was very excited when she read the news.

   There are 3 games left, Liu Xiu's 40+ in a single game has reached 18 times, in Qing'er's opinion, it is absolutely stable to tie Kobe Bryant, if the Suns or Mavericks can beat a game, Bryant's record will be broken!

   In the competition for the scoring title, Liu Xiu will make a profit again!

After the game against the Nuggets, his total score in 72 games increased to 2,310 points, averaging 32.08 points per game.

   Last night, the 76ers also had a game against the Pacers.

   Iverson made 10 of 27 shots, including 1 of 2 3-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, helping the 76ers beat the Pacers 87-83.

   Iverson made 4 of 7 shots in the final quarter, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points in a single quarter, piercing the Pacers and winning.

   But he only scored 26 points, and his total score in 72 games increased to 2320 points, averaging 32.2 points per game, and the total score gap with Liu Xiu narrowed to 10 points!

   The warden thanked Tianzun for his strong support to the new star of the old club!

  …

   In the morning, Liu Xiu helped his girlfriend and sister tidy up the garden at home.

  At noon, the league announced the Player of the Week award for the penultimate game week.

  Eastern, Iverson of the 76ers won the award with 3 wins and 0 losses, averaging 36.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game.

In the west, Liu Xiu of the Blazers, 4 wins and 1 loss, averaged 40.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

   At the end of the season, Iverson was the only team in the Eastern Conference, winning two consecutive weeks of the best of the week. This season, the number of best times of the week came to 4 times, tied for second with Nash.

  Liu Xiu won the 5th best of the week, the first in the league!

   However, Liu Xiu is the best in the Western Conference, which is more difficult than Iverson.

Last week, Liu Xiu won all 3 games, played 3 consecutive 40+ games against the Hornets, Kings, and Pacers, and won all 3 games, but failed to steal from Nash, who averaged 22.5 points and 18.5 per game with 4 wins and 0 losses. Best of the week.

   That is, this week's 7 days and 5 games continued to be violent, which allowed him to beat Dirk Nowitzki, who had won 15 consecutive victories, and Nash, who basically locked the regular season champion, and won the fifth best of the week this season.

  The performance of the top two in the West is really wild!

The stars of the Suns played harder than Liu Xiu remembered, and they were all rushing to 65 wins; the Mavericks had a Ratliff, and they were better at close-up rim protection. They actually played a 15-game winning streak at the end of the season. Show is not in the impression.

  After lunch, Liu Xiu brought her sister to Rose Garden Arena early to receive the Player of the Week trophy.

  Qinger said excitedly holding the trophy: "Brother, this is your tenth best trophy of the week. Let's buy a showcase for this, okay?"

   "Great idea, but I don't have time to buy it..."

"It's okay, when my brother won the Best of the Week last time, I happened to see a display case in a magazine. It was very beautiful. I called and asked, and the size can be customized. You don't have to worry so much. Ada and I will buy it. Okay."

Ada is the nanny who is in charge of taking care of Qing'er. Liu Xiu nodded when she heard the words and couldn't help sighing in her heart. A little loli who is a sister, an assistant, a cook, a fan, and a station sister all in one, has such a sister, she is blessed in eight lifetimes. what!

Eh?

   Don't you mean to buy a showcase? Why don't you leave? Reach out, is this?

   "Brother, give me the money! How can I buy it if you don't give me the money?"

   "You have so much New Year's money this year, so help my brother to put it first."

   "Impossible! Brother, you want to cheat me again!"

   "When did I cheat your money?"

   "Last year! Brother, you and my parents cheated me out of money the year before. I've grown up and I'm not the same Cheng Qinger! No one can cheat me of a penny!"

  Looking at Qing'er who was gradually turning into a cock, Liu Xiu didn't know what her daughter-in-law taught her sister-in-law... My sister has grown up!

   Being stingy is getting more and more stingy, but at least you don’t have to worry about being cheated out of 3 million by someone saying ‘you are my only sister’…

  …

  Qinger took Liu Xiu's credit card and took the nanny out of the Rose Garden Arena to the mall. Liu Xiu came to the training ground to conduct small-scale tactical training with his teammates.

   The teammates were very active and hard-working today, and those who didn’t know they thought they were sprinting for a playoff spot surprised Liu Xiu.

  Two training sessions, including the rest time, should be over in two hours at most, but today, the warm-up started at 1:30, and the training ended near 6:00. Everyone worked very hard.

   Liu Xiu was dragged to practice many groups of small-scale training. Of course, he would not refuse. Each group practiced very hard. In order to maintain the best training state, he could eat all-around nutritious food at any time to restore his physical strength.

   When taking a bath after training, Peyton, who was taking a bath with Liu Xiu, asked curiously, "Warden, you seem surprised today, is it my illusion?"

  Liu Xiu shook her head and smiled: "No, I'm really surprised, not only did everyone not relax, but they worked harder."

   "This is a very exciting thing," Peyton responded, and continued: "But, Warden, why do you think we're going to be lax?"

Liu Xiuying said: "We only need to win any one of the next three games to get 60 wins. In the end, the Lakers are there to support the bottom, 60 wins can definitely be won, and we have lost 20 games. , even if we win the next 3 games, we still can't surpass the Suns, who have won 63, and we can't catch up with the Mavericks..."

Peyton heard the words and replied: "It sounds very unwilling, but you are actually right, warden, this is a situation that will make people relax, but warden, you also underestimate us too much, we are You have the same competitive spirit and fighting spirit as you!"

   Liu Xiu nodded again and again: "Yes, I feel it."

  Damn topic terminator, after Peyton slandered, he took the initiative to continue the topic: "If we really relax after 60 wins, our warden, what will you do?"

   "How to do it? Of course, it is to urge everyone not to relax."

   "Uh... yeah."

  Peton felt that his question was a bit silly, but he also felt that it was not his question that was wrong, but the other party's answer, but he couldn't tell what was wrong...

Liu Xiu continued: "I will not allow my team to relax at this time. The playoffs on the 23rd are only a week away. It will be difficult to relax at this time. I don't want us to get 60 wins but being upset in the first round, that humiliation will never be washed away."

   As soon as the warden said this, a historical point guard nicknamed Gloves started to contribute to the healing value crazily…

  …

  …

   On April 16th, the Trail Blazers had their penultimate game day of the season.

  Tonight, the opponent of the Trail Blazers - the first Suns in the league!

   When Liu Xiu went to the Rose Garden Arena to prepare for the game in the morning, she saw that the pomp of the past two home games continued outside the arena.

   This is already an absolute playoff atmosphere!

   Not only Portland fans attach great importance to this game, but the entire basketball world pays attention to this game between the Trail Blazers and the Suns.

  The regular season is coming to an end, each team has 2-3 games left, and the remaining suspense has become less and less.

  The top eight in the East have been determined. The Nets, Heat, Pacers, Pistons, Wizards, Bulls, Celtics, and 76ers have locked in the playoffs. The rankings are basically determined.

  The West, the first to fifth, the ranking is basically determined.

The sixth and seventh are still uncertain. The Kings are now hesitant to hold the sixth, defend the Blazers for the sixth, and fall to the seventh to beat the Mavericks, who may directly end the regular season with an 18-game winning streak. This multiple-choice question is too difficult. !

The    Nuggets are quite positive, they are not cowardly at all, they just want to rush to sixth, that is, they want to rush to the warden to find the hammer... Ah, no, it's a battle of brothers.

   Although there is still suspense in the eighth in the west, there is only theoretical suspense left.

At present, the Rockets are 44-36 and the Grizzlies are 42-37. In theory, the Grizzlies have hope of a comeback, but the Rockets have two games left on the road, and the Grizzlies are far from the end of the season. It was so tough last season and looked particularly weak, and the Rockets were already locked in the eighth place in the Western Conference.

There is no suspense in MVP and Rookie of the Year; Best Defensive Player, just choose one between Artest and Ben Wallace; the rest of the Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Award and other awards are not much concerned about .

  Now, there are only a few things that people are focusing on—whether the Nets can get 60 wins, whether the Mavericks can end their 18-game winning streak, whether the Suns can get 65 wins, the scoring championship...

   Most of the rest of the regular season is related to the Trail Blazers and Liu Xiu!

   The Suns, who are currently 63 wins and 16 losses, have 3 games left to play. The outcome of tonight's game will have a great impact on the Suns' 65-win journey.

   Also, can the Blazers take revenge on the Suns again tonight and win 60 at the same time?

   And, can Liu Xiu score 40 points tonight, tying Kobe's current record of 19 40+ in a single season?

   The current public opinion environment makes Liu Xiu and his teammates very excited.

  At the end of the regular season of each NBA season, it is extraordinarily exciting and colorful, but the focus of attention and the center of the topic will always focus on one team in the end.

   In the past few years, the candidates for this team have been back and forth with the Lakers, Spurs, and Nets. This year, it is finally their turn to Rose Bay!

  …

   At 7:40 p.m., the Suns and the Blazers entered the court one after another, and the Blazers’ home game against the Suns is about to start.

   "The opposite of light:

   Goal 1: The host needs to lead the team to not lose the match against the Suns in the regular season this season. (1 win 2 losses)

   Goal 2: The host of this game needs to have one of the main stats (points, rebounds, assists) to be the best in the game…”

   After Liu Xiu entered the court, he received a task prompt.

After the task is completed, the pick-and-roll training method learned from Nash will get another 50% efficiency bonus, and the follow-up series of tasks related to Nash will also be opened with normal difficulty. If you lose, the reward will be gone, and the follow-up tasks will be even higher. The difficulty is on, Liu Xiu is going to fight tonight!

   Looking at his temporary ability evaluation, and looking at his teammates who have been in excellent form since the game with the Clippers, Liu Xiu is full of confidence!

   The preparation time before the game passed quickly. After receiving the prompt to copy the talents, Liu Xiu chose two Stoudemires and copied them to the two talents of 'Flying Squirrel' and 'Little Bully'.

   Attack maximization bonus!

   was about to play. Liu Xiu wiped the magnesium powder one minute earlier than usual and returned to the bench. He gathered the team members together and stretched out their hands. The teammates were surprised, but they quickly folded their hands on the warden's hand.

   "Destroy the Suns and get 60 wins!"

   Liu Xiu's mobilization words were simple, but his teammates were very excited and shouted: "Kill the Suns and win 60 wins!"

   The voice of a group of people is not small. It first affected the fans near the home team's bench, and then it spread. All the fans were driven, and the scene was boiling again!

  The manic atmosphere on the scene, Nash was amazed when he walked on the court.

   This is still the regular season. Although it is the end of the regular season, it is still the regular season. It’s already in this atmosphere. Is it still worth it in the playoffs?

   Looking at Liu Xiu, who led his teammates onto the court amid the manic cheers of the fans, Nash felt that this kid was like the leader of a cult.

   Look at the fans at the scene, all of them are as fanatical as cultists.

   In fact, Nash is sour...and makes him feel endless pressure!

   This pressure has been driving him since mid-season!

   At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown narrowly defeated the Bully with a slight advantage, and the Blazers took the lead!

   The Blazers' starting lineup has a small adjustment tonight. Payton, Liu Xiu, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown will start.

  The Suns sent a starting lineup of Nash, Joe Johnson, Big Q, Marion, and Bully.

   Payton advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu singled with a big Q. He turned his back in the mid-range and made a mid-range shot to turn around and face the frame, and he took the lead!

   This shooting rhythm, this feel, Nash, who has master-level outside singles skills, knew at a glance that Liu Xiu's "state of the table" tonight.

   Offense and defense transition, the Suns attack.

  When Nash received the ball, the Suns became full of vigor and sharp-edged!

   Afraid that Liu Xiu will get 40+? Snipe Liu Xiu to hit the scoring champion? Feeling the pressure because it's about 65 wins?

Do not!

  It doesn't matter, none of this matters.

   As soon as they set foot on the court, just one word - rush!

   They have only one thing to do - attack!

  …

  …

   Today is just one chapter, take care of it.

After a long time, it finally rained. Although the rain stopped before the summer heat fell, the temperature did not drop to a few degrees, and the humidity became heavier, but it finally rained. I forgot the last time it rained. It was a few weeks ago and it was amazing...
