MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1040 Came to this position again (seeking one at the end of the month

  Chapter 1040 1040. Came to this position again (ask for a wave of monthly tickets at the end of the month! Thank you)

  Primary free throw lore + block lore, the warden smiled... The close-up of the big screen made the fans boo wildly and unwillingly.

   Liu Xiu beat the Raptors with one offense and one defense in the last 17 seconds!

  98 to 97, the Trail Blazers won 3 consecutive victories, and their record improved to 19 wins and 3 losses.

   "Four major centers:

  The opponents defeated in the first match: Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, Yao Ming, Darko Milicic, the goal has been completed.

  Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 20000 healing value. "

   "Spear and Shield:

  The host led the team to score 98 points in this game, but goal 1 failed. Reward: Boring Gourd (Talent Tendency) was not obtained.

The host made 14 of 29 shots in this game, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 40 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Goal 2 has been completed. Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 3000 cure value.

  The host led the team to victory in this game. Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 3000 healing value.

  The Lord of the Ages series of missions: The Legendary Defense Master is about to start. "

  Legendary defensive master?

  Legendary and masters put together words, and Liu Xiu didn't think the system's evaluation of Artest's defense was too much.

In the 1980s, when the best defensive player first came out, outsiders won awards. At that time, there was a situation-voters generally believed that outside players, especially point guards, were weak groups. What an admirable thing to make a big contribution, so even if there are insiders with significantly better defensive performance, voters are more willing to vote for defenders at that time.

   However, this situation only lasted for a few years. After entering the 1990s, people's votes tended to be rational.

  From the 1990s to the present, more than ten years have passed, and only two outside players have won the best defensive player.

   Payton and Artest.

  In the past ten years, the best defensive players Liu Xiu has impressed the most are these two.

   On the other side, after the Raptors players were depressed for a while, the "old man" of the team headed by Milicic cheered up.

   This group of players felt that they played well tonight and almost won!

   This is the closest they have been to victory since Kobe and Liu Xiu took turns taking 80+ points, only 17 seconds away.

   Delighted!

   I almost won this time, but I may win next time!

   As for the possibility of Randolph coming back in the next match...

  In fact, in Milicic’s opinion, if Randolph can play, they may have a greater chance of winning, so they won’t encounter the Trail Blazers resorting to the tactic of “Pau Gasol pick-and-roll”.

   If Randolph can play, now that there is Diaw's Trail Blazers, Gasol won't be given too much playing time.

  Be sure to win next time! Definitely next time!

  The mentality of the old Raptors players made the newcomer Artest stunned for a while, and the anger of losing was extinguished.

  Should I say this is ambition or lack of ambition?

   Also, what is the reason for the inexplicable enthusiasm of the farmers?

  …

  Liu Xiu scored 40+ triple-doubles!

  The last time Liu Xiu scored 37 points + a triple-double, not only did he feel pain, but the fans also felt crazy.

   Just one three-pointer away.

   This time, I finally got it!

   This is his 11th 40+ triple-double, but it still caused a carnival among the fans that night.

   This data does not seem to be uncommon for him, but it is still rare in the entire NBA.

  Aside from Liu Xiu, only McGrady, James, Kobe, and Carter have 40+ triple-doubles in active service.

Last season, Liu Xiu got 4 40+ triple-doubles. Every time he got such data, the media ran to toss Iverson and asked Iverson when he could get 40+ triple-doubles. together.

  Liu Xiu has been playing for almost two months this season, and in more than 20 games, he has "only" got 4 triple-doubles, which makes the fans miss the joy of watching Liu Xiu's triple-doubles every day last season...

   After 5 consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers got two days to rest.

   Returned to Portland on the 11th, took a day off, and continued to be busy on the 12th.

At the preparation meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning, the coach said: "We now have a good news and a bad news... You are not allowed to choose. The good news is that the butcher is coming back. The bad news is that this time with 5 consecutive away, we will compete with the Pistons, The games of the Wizards and the Raptors have proved one thing, our offensive coordination is almost being figured out by the opponent."

  As soon as these words came out, the players in the conference room expressed their uneasiness.

  The vice president quickly comforted him: "Everyone, don't panic, the situation is not that serious..."

   Liu Xiu quickly replied: "Don't worry too much, most opponents, even if they fully understand our tactics, as long as we play normally, they can't beat us."

  Vice President: "..."

  I really want to give the warden a **** (╬￣dish￣)=○

  But he had to admit that what Liu Xiu said was more effective than what he said.

  So, he looked at the coach with resentful eyes.

   This guy is so boring, he exaggerates to scare the players when he has nothing to do.

The coach ignored the vice president and continued: "But the defensive teams are becoming more and more threatening to us. Our teamwork has made little progress recently. The butcher was injured. Our adjustment progress was forced to slow down. We can only adjust the rotation. The offense of the lineup, now we have to hurry up, there is not much time until the Christmas game."

   As a sign of entering the middle of the season, the Christmas game is a very important time point.

  It reminds everyone on the Trail Blazers that there is not much time for them to adjust and polish their tactics.

  By the middle of the season, physical and mental fatigue will have a great impact, and it is not suitable to make adjustments at that time.

  If the middle of the season is too bad, even if it can be readjusted after the All-Star Weekend, it will inevitably be affected by the mid-season performance, and the adjustment may be in the wrong direction...so the remaining time in the early season is very important!

After putting pressure on the players, the coach said: "But fortunately, we have a clear direction of adjustment. When the butcher recovers from injury, we can start to adjust immediately. We have also developed a variety of rotations. How to play..."

After the coach finished speaking, the extrajudicial lunatic couldn't help complaining: "The coach is talking more and more like an official. I seem to have heard this tone somewhere... Ah, by the way, it's the training camp of the Dream Seven team, Sha That's how Shefsky talks!"

  Liu Xiu answered: "Yesterday, when Butcher came to my house to play games, he told me that our coach seems to have accepted Colangelo's invitation to be the coach of the dream team. You feel right."

Seeing Randolph nodding, the extrajudicial lunatic exclaimed: "God, the coach is crazy! You didn't retire and he went to be the coach of the Dream Team? He wants to be nailed to the shame like Brown and Krzyzewski on the pillar?"

  The outlaw lunatic opened up the chatterbox of his teammates, and everyone discussed that their coach would become the head coach of the dream team.

  The coach has a black line—the honest man's complaints are the deadliest!

  He knows that the outlaw fanatics are telling the truth!

  He now also feels that he accepted the invitation in a crazy way.

   But now let him choose again, he will still accept it.

   This is his confidence in his ability.

   Also, he also wants to win glory for his country. After watching the Olympic finals, he felt that his warden was the strongest ever, but in basketball, he felt that his country should be the strongest!

  The players' attention was diverted, and the coach didn't try to break it back. What should be emphasized has already been emphasized. The players will not forget the pressure just because of a few chats. He trusts his players very much.

  …

  December 13, at noon, the league announced the best awards of last week.

  Liu Xiu relied on his performance of 3 consecutive triple-doubles and 3 wins in the past 3 games, and won the best of the week for the second time this season.

  He thinks, winning + triple-double is really a good way to win awards.

   At 9:22 p.m., Kobe Bryant wants to kill the Trail Blazers' heart...

   After two hours and 22 minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers lost 112 to 120 to the Clippers.

  The Clippers have been upset in a row. They defeated the Mavericks the day before yesterday and the Trail Blazers today.

  The Lakers played against the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers once each this season, and lost both.

  The Trail Blazers made a lot of offensive adjustments in this game, which affected the continuity of the defense. They were hammered by Baron Davis, Love, Reed, Kaman, Camby...etc.

  The Clippers are just coaches with outdated tactics, overconfident ball-handling core, and insiders who only care about collecting statistics... The depth of the lineup is good, and the upset really doesn't make people feel surprised.

   Few people scolded the Clippers players for their lack of strength. They all scolded the management for being stupid and blasted the coaching staff out of class.

   Now that Mike Dunleavy has the identity of general manager and head coach in one, the curses have concentrated.

Liu Xiu made 15 of 29 shots in this game, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 38 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. His offensive performance was not bad, but his defensive performance was not good. It looks so good.

   On the 15th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Suns at home.

   With Raja Bell and Diaw in exchange for Jason Richardson, the 27-year-old slam dunk king who has averaged 20+ per game in 3 of the past 4 seasons and is currently at his peak, the Suns' current starting lineup looks particularly cool.

  Nash, Rudy Fernandez, Jason Richardson, Bully, O'Neal.

  The bench lineup also includes Barbosa, Matt Barnes, Dudley, Louis Amundson, Robin Lopez and others.

  Anyway, when Liu Xiu saw the Suns lineup, he didn't know what the Suns team was thinking about.

   This 'chaotic stew' lineup can't fight, run and bomb, and can't fight offensive and defensive battles in positional warfare. Apart from fighting the players' personal abilities, there is no other advantage.

   In this way, the recovered O'Neal performed exceptionally well.

   O'Neal is the Suns' scoring leader so far, averaging 21.4 points per game, and the bully's scoring average has dropped to 19.5 points per game.

   O'Neal not only has better statistics than Xiaobawang, but the most outrageous thing is that his health is also better than Xiaobawang. So far this season, Xiaobawang has been absent for 6 games, and O'Neal has only been absent for 2 games.

   Not only better than Bully, but also better than Nash. Nash missed 3 games this season due to a back injury.

  When the Trail Blazers played away games, when Liu Xiu had a drink with team doctor Thomas Carter, the latter complained that the Suns had problems with their play style, which accelerated Nash's aging.

  Nash’s original style of play has a very high continuity, and the peak period can be maintained for a long time. Now the Suns insist on playing positional warfare and let Nash single-handedly attack, which made Nash’s physical condition this year reach the worst since joining the Suns.

   At 7:30 in the evening, the game started.

  The Suns played much better than at the beginning of the season, probably because they are used to the lack of tactics.

  The Trail Blazers continue to adjust. For them, polishing their tactics to be stronger and more perfect is more important than eating a few more victories at this time.

The Trail Blazers led 31 to 28 in the first quarter, and the two teams tied at 26 in the second quarter. In the third quarter, the Suns scored a 10-point difference in a single quarter with 38 to 28, but the Trail Blazers were even more brutal in the final quarter. Retaliated with 39 points in a single quarter and limited the Suns to 27 points to complete the comeback.

   Liu Xiu made 14 of 27 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 1 block!

  Add Ray Allen's 22 points, Randolph's 16 points, Hill's 8 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, Kwame Brown's 10 points and 7 rebounds, and the outlaw 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists...

  The Trail Blazers scored in double figures with 5 players and narrowly beat the Suns 124 to 119!

  The Suns are really strong in singles!

  O'Neal scored 23 points, Bully 19 points, Nash made 6 of 12 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws to score 18 points. The 180 club per game is a bit scary...

   The slam dunk king also scored 15 points, the Spanish dunk king Fernandez scored 11 points, and the substitute Barbosa scored 22 points.

   On the second day, on the 16th, the Trail Blazers ushered in back-to-back challenges from the Kings at home.

  The current record of the Kings is an unprecedented 2 wins and 23 losses. After a 19-game losing streak at the beginning, the current wave of 2 wins and 4 losses looks so pretty.

   Averaged 94.2 points per game, the third lowest in the league.

   Averaged 109.8 points per game, the second highest in the league.

  The Trail Blazers are currently in a state of ‘I’m not a big deal if I lose the first two games in the league’, and the Kings can’t seize the opportunity.

  The Trail Blazers had an amazingly stable offensive performance tonight, scoring 28, 26, 27, and 28 points in the four quarters.

Liu Xiu played 31 minutes and made 7 of 10 shots, including 5 of 5 three-pointers. The Kings started to make direct fouls. To 10 free throws, plus the normal 6 free throws, all 16 free throws were made.

   With 35 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, Liu Xiu led the team to beat the Kings 109-77, giving the Kings their 24th loss.

  Back to back, the Trail Blazers took a day off. On the 18th, the last game of 4 consecutive home games ushered in a challenge from the Magic at home.

The Trail Blazers performed poorly in the first three quarters, scoring only 22 points, 23 points, and 23 points. Howard showed super defensive dominance. Under the tandem of Turkoglu and Nelson, the Magic played very well on offense , scored 29 points, 20 points, and 32 points. After three quarters, the Magic led the Trail Blazers by 13 points 81 to 68.

  At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers finally found an offensive feeling under the team defense of the Magic, and played an outstanding performance of 30 points in a single quarter.

   But the Magic also scored 28 points in a single quarter.

   When the Trail Blazers matched their lineup tonight, they had a lot of restraint on both ends of the offense and defense, and they didn't defend well from the outside. The Magic made 16 of 26 three-pointers tonight.

  Howard's performance of 14 points and 16 rebounds had a huge impact on the Trail Blazers' shields.

  Although Liu Xiu made 12 of 23 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 13 of 14 free throws, he scored 41 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, but he still failed to save the defeat.

  98 to 109, the Trail Blazers lost at home, and their record dropped to 21 wins and 5 losses.

  The Magic team continued their record of not being swept by any team this season.

   On the 20th, the Trail Blazers came to the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away.

   Liu Xiu made 12 of 22 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Trail Blazers to a 108-99 victory over the Jazz.

  Paul played tonight and played very well. He made 9 of 14 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 10 free throws. He scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

But Boozer and Chandler's twin towers were collectively injured, and Kapono was very strong. Tonight, he scored 18 points on 6 of 12 three-pointers, but only got these 18 points. Those 6 3-pointers…

  The Jazz are not the only team with many injuries in the Northwest Division. On the 21st, the Trail Blazers came to Denver to challenge the Nuggets back to back. Anthony and Kenyon Martin were collectively injured.

   Iverson turned on the fearless mad wave mode and made 13 of 28 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 11 of 11 free throws. He scored 38 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

   Liu Xiu made 13 of 29 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Adding Ray Allen's 18 points, Randolph's 17 points, Outlaw's 10 points, Kwame Brown's 14 points and 11 rebounds...5 Blazers scored in double figures and defeated the Nuggets 109-97 Team!

  …

  …

   On December 23, the annual Christmas party of the Trail Blazers was held at Liu Xiu's house.

  People who come, people with sports teams, local politicians, businessmen, celebrities, celebrities...etc.

   There is also the family of Yao Ming, the star star of the rival Pistons who will soon play against each other in the Christmas game.

   It has become a "tradition" for the Trail Blazers to have a meal with the whole team at this time of year, and everyone in the team looks forward to this day every season.

  Actually, there is nothing special today, just get together to drink and chat, play cards and brag.

  In the beginning, Liu Xiu hated this kind of social interaction. After so many years, he will be very happy at this time every year. This is a 'tradition' that his team can only maintain.

  Today, the NBA played a total of 5 games. As the last Timberwolves beat the Mavericks 99 to 97 in an away game, the early stage of the regular season officially came to an end.

  After seeing off the guests at night and ordering the nanny to call the housekeeping company to do the cleaning, Liu Xiu went back to the bedroom and checked the latest data list on her laptop.

In terms of record, after the previous "waves" in the past few games, their advantage of the Trail Blazers is already very small, only 0.5 wins ahead of the second-placed Spurs. Compared with the Lakers, they only have two wins Advantage.

The current record ranking in the West: Trail Blazers 23 wins and 5 losses first, Spurs 23 wins and 6 losses second, Lakers 21 wins and 7 losses, Mavericks 21 wins and 8 losses, Nuggets 19 wins and 10 losses, Rockets 17 wins 12 losses, the Hornets 16 wins and 13 losses, and the Jazz 15 wins and 14 losses.

Eastern record ranking: Bulls 21 wins and 7 losses first, Magic 21 wins and 8 losses second, Cavaliers 20 wins and 8 losses third, Raptors 19 wins and 9 losses fourth, Pistons 18 wins and 10 losses fifth, The Eagles are sixth with 16 wins and 12 losses, the Knicks are seventh with 16 wins and 12 losses, and the Celtics are eighth with 16 wins and 13 losses...

  The record ranking made Liu Xiu maintain his judgment after the first month of competition.

  The top eight records in the Western Conference are very stable. The 9th-ranked Suns and the 10th-ranked Timberwolves need luck to rush up.

   The East is much more competitive.

  In the player data list, Liu Xiu looked at the scoring list, but unexpectedly came to this position again...

   After 28 games, he ranked second in the scoring list with an average of 31.71 points per game, surpassing James, who averaged 31 points per game, and second only to Wade, who averaged 32.2 points per game in 25 games.

In the last 11 games, except for the game against the Knicks because McGrady had no fighting spirit, Liu Xiu felt a lack of interest. In the other 10 games, all scored 30+, including 4 games with 40+, and averaged 35.9 in 11 games. point.

Before Liu Xiu talked to Nash about playing fast break, Nash deduced based on their tactical philosophy of the Trail Blazers. As the system gradually improves, the situation will eventually be reversed!

   In the beginning, the teammates took advantage of him. As the biggest threat to the system, the teammates took the opportunity to score more points.

But with the gradual improvement of the system, the threat of the teammates in the system and the increasing attention of the opponents, began to share the pressure and defense for Liu Xiu. , Under close scoring conditions, it is naturally easier to score than teammates.

In the rebounding list, when Garnett had Okur as a teammate and no longer needed him to put in so much effort to protect the boards, Beast began to dominate the rebounding list, averaging 14 rebounds per game, which was higher than Camby who averaged 11.9 rebounds per game a lot.

   In the assist list, Deron averaged 10.5 rebounds per game and ranked first. Paul's performance fluctuated due to injuries this year, and his average assists per game did not reach double figures.

   In the steals list, Liu Xiu ranked first with 2.86 steals per game, beating Paul, who averaged 2.8 steals per game.

   In the block list, rookie Oden averaged 3.3 blocks per game, beating Milicic who averaged 3 blocks per game, Kwame Brown who averaged 2.9 blocks per game, and Howard who averaged 2.7 blocks per game.

  In addition to these regular lists, there are also triple-double lists, hit rate lists... and other 'surrounding' lists.

   One of these 'peripheral' lists attracted Liu Xiu's attention.

  '180 club list', as many as 4 people this year!

   He is currently selected with 52 field goal percentage, 43% three-point shooting percentage, and 92% free throw percentage.

  The other three are Nowitzki with a shooting percentage of 51+40+90, Nash with a shooting percentage of 52+43+93, and Calderon with a shooting percentage of 50+41+98.

   On the Lakers side, a certain No. 24 with the assist of Wang is very charming, shooting 51% from the field, 39% from the three-point range, and 89% from the free throw line. The Lakers fans scolded him all day long.

   Can’t you shoot a few ultra-long shots at the buzzer at the end of the quarter that are impossible to make?

   Practice more free throws! How did you not learn how to win the championship with O'Neal for a few years, and learn free throws?

  (end of this chapter)
