MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1045 Become the object of being challenged

  Chapter 1045 Chapter 1045. Become the object of the challenge (ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)

  The NFL playoffs have reached the divisional finals. Everyone in the United States loves football, and the NFL has reached the time when it attracts the most attention every year.

  However, today, even in Texas, where the enthusiasm for football is the highest and universities use the increase in budget for the football team as a promotional point of admissions, most sports fans also focus on a game in the NBA.

   This game is a matchup between the Trail Blazers, the league's No. 1 team with 36 wins and 5 losses, and the Lakers, the No. 2 team in the league with 33 wins and 8 losses.

  Just the match between the first and second in the NBA, it won't attract such a high degree of attention, after all, it is the regular season.

  But the Trail Blazers have won 15 consecutive victories!

   The team that has maintained the longest winning streak this season with 16 consecutive victories is the Lakers.

  The Trail Blazers have long shouted that they want to surpass the Lakers, and they played against the Lakers just after 15 consecutive victories. This rare scene is naturally attractive.

   In addition, the two teams have popular superstars, and the team's style of play is also good.

The Lakers currently rank third in the league in points per game, averaging 106.2 points per game, second only to the Warriors averaging 108 points per game and the Trail Blazers averaging 106.6 points per game. The gold team is higher.

  The gorgeous triangle offense has reached its peak this season.

   As for the Trail Blazers, this season is the most amazing!

  A team that has just completed the dynasty and has not changed much in the core lineup can actually give people a sense of surprise, which is itself amazing.

   Started off with a fierce attack that the opponents didn't expect, winning 11 consecutive victories.

   Later, it was focused on by the opponent. Before the Christmas battle, the record was stumbling, and there was a cycle of winning two games and losing one game, and winning three games and losing one game.

   But after the adjustments, in the middle of the season, the offense and defense have made great progress, and there is another wave of 15 consecutive victories!

  The Lakers' 10-game winning streak was overcast, and the Trail Blazers' 9-game winning streak was roaring to surpass the Lakers, which had won 12 consecutive victories at the time, and they also entered the state of overcasting every game.

  For tonight's game, almost every major TV station in North America has added this game, and they all feel that if they broadcast it, they will earn money.

  From the time the programs could be booked, the statistics of the major TV stations have been booming all the way. By the time the media announced the estimated booking data in the evening, it was already close to the regular season single-game ratings record set by the Trail Blazers.

  In the middle of the season, the number of subscriptions for paid viewing is almost breaking the record. If the time point is changed to the beginning of the season or after the All-Star Weekend, the record will definitely be broken.

  With such a high degree of attention, the whole Trail Blazers team is very excited, and they were particularly motivated during the pre-match meeting this morning.

  Liu Xiu is also very excited, but when he reads the news, he always finds some peculiar points to pay attention to...

Some economists jumped out to catch the heat—this is a phenomenon of lipstick economy. Buying tickets for the four major league games is a relatively luxurious thing. Watching live broadcasts is also linked to "luxury". In today's economic downturn At this stage, many people regard watching NFL, NBA and other games as "luxury consumption" to satisfy their psychological needs.

This Liu Xiu thinks it makes sense. Since 2006, he asked his aunt and Anne-Hathaway to invest in some big brands with independent lipstick brands. Since 2007, when the stock prices of other industries plummeted, the sales of those lipstick brands soared. The stock price rise is also gratifying. Although the size is limited, their family also makes a small profit from this.

   Domestically, the heat is even higher! It's even hotter than the Christmas game between the Trail Blazers and Pistons... It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the ratings of the game during the Chinese New Year will be very bad, but after the time of visiting relatives before the New Year and the Spring Festival, When the student party is still on vacation, the game ratings will be quite good.

  It’s a pity for Liu Xiu, the family is preparing for the New Year, and the Los Angeles couple did not come this time. Otherwise, the family will definitely have a good time in this lively scene.

  But it is also a good thing to have a more New Year's Eve.

   At 7:40 p.m., after the warm-up, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the stadium at the Staples Center, and they were greeted by the wildest boos from the fans.

  At this stage, the hostility of Lakers fans towards the Trail Blazers has surpassed that of the Celtics.

  In the past 5 seasons, the two teams have played against each other 4 times in the playoffs, with 2 wins and 2 losses.

   Now that the two teams occupy the first and second positions in the league, Lakers fans feel that they will definitely meet the Trail Blazers again in the playoffs.

  They think they can win!

  People are double-standard monsters by nature. When it comes to other stars and other teams, if they win the overall runner-up, the second place is the biggest loser.

  My team has won the overall runner-up, which is already very good, and it is only one step away from the championship.

  In addition to this, Lakers fans have one more thing they are very confident in - Warden has been in the NBA for 5 years, and only they have defeated Warden in the playoffs.

   It was the Lakers' home team's turn, and the boos of the fans turned into cheers. Liu Xiu focused on the opponent's latest team report and player detection report.

  "Los Angeles Lakers, 33 wins and 8 losses, averaging 106.2 points per game, conceding 98.1 points per game, shooting 48.5% from the field, limiting opponents to 44.7% from the field..."

The great master who averaged 29+ per game, the chubby who averaged 15+11 per game, David West who averaged 18+9 per game, the left devil who averaged 10+8+3+1+1 per game, the big player who averaged 10+6+4 per game Zhi.

These people should be a really good match, but Liu Xiu is completely true. On his side, there are also three-pointers who average 18+3+2 per game, butchers who average 17+11 per game, and 8+8+2+ per game. 1+3 parallel import champion, 12+5+1+1+1 extrajudicial fanatics per game!

  The opposite role players include Old Fish next door, Tiezha, Frye, Joe Smith, Farmar, Luke Walton, Vujacic...

  They also have Hill, Korver, Diaw, Gasol Jr., Birdman...

   Liu Xiu's evaluation to the opponent-dynasty level strength.

  He has a higher opinion of his own team!

  After the two teams entered the arena, Liu Xiu and Kobe came to the daily exchange before the game. Liu Xiu gained a wave of healing points and returned to the bench contentedly.

  Kobe gritted his teeth again and turned on the mode of hindsight—if I had just said this and that, and that and that and that and that and that... just fine.

   At 7:58, the referee notified the two teams to start.

  Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen's full blood'quick shot', Kobe's'physical gallop' and'reasonable'.

  'Sharp Shooter' is temporarily turned on, 'Splash' is bound to Ray Allen, and the equipment chosen is 'Answer's Armguard', 'Peter Pan's Leggings', and 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Guard'.

   Finally able to bind the three-point leader again. Binding Korver in the previous few games is really not so easy.

  Korver only looks at three-pointers, which is not weaker than Ray Allen, but Korver can only catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.

   Moreover, the talent of 'Quick Shot' is really useful. The simplest but most direct addition is to make the shot faster.

  He feels that he is a bit too dependent on this talent. Ray Allen will eventually retire. He may still be at his peak by then, and Ray Allen continues to age, and the talent copied in the future may also change.

   You have to find a way to improve your shooting speed.

  Originally this was something he wanted to do a long time ago, but he didn’t expect to make Ray Allen over as a teammate after a phone call. This plan was temporarily suspended and he devoted his time to other aspects of improvement.

  Now it can be put back into the training schedule. He thinks that shooting speed should also be considered as part of the basic shooting skills. When the effect of pure shooting basic skills training slows down, you can try this.

   Just when Liu Xiu rubbed the chalk and came to the free throw line, the system prompt came!

   "The Overlord has become a new flag for the point guard position, and is setting a new benchmark for the point guard position in contemporary basketball. Challengers will also appear in an endless stream... The Lord of the Age series mission: Challenger triggers."

   "Challenger:

  Task object: Deron Williams.

  Goal 1: The host needs to get at least 20 points + 10 assists tonight, or limit Deron Williams' scoring and assists to below the season average.

  Goal 2: The host needs to have an advantage in the regular season against Deron Williams this season.

  Bonus: Rhythm Fluid Forward Change (Deron Williams Edition) top-notch training method. "

  Good reward!

   After Liu Xiu broke through to the top, she was worried about which direction to adjust. She had learned almost everything she could learn from Kobe and Nash. Now there are new training methods to learn from!

   It's just that the name of this change of direction... Xiaopang's breakthrough seems to have been influenced by the great god.

   I don't know if this will make it easier for him to learn, or if it will be useless after learning.

  Never mind him, take it first and then talk! No matter how bad it is, you can learn more about Xiaopang's breakthrough, and there are more things to refer to on the defensive end.

  …

The two teams came to the field starting, the Lakers sent Deron, Kobe, Ariza, David West, Wang Zhizhi; the Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame -Brown.

   Kobe seriously suspected that the other party had Randolph and Ray Allendo take a rest because they wanted to play against them.

  If Maurice Cheeks knew that Kobe guessed so, he would take the initiative to give him an affirmative answer.

   At 8:00 p.m., the much-anticipated game started.

   Kwame Brown defeated Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers went first.

  Liu Xiu received the ball and dribbled it out in two steps. Hill received the ball outside the three-point line and passed it again. Randolph cut in to receive the ball.

I'm coming! Every time Kobe played against the Trail Blazers, the most annoying feeling came-the fat man on the opposite side, and he would not be affected by too long a rest after returning from injury!

  The warden didn't know that the master beat them so hard every time, and the reason was partly due to the characteristic of the butcher.

   In fact, it has an impact. If he rests for several games in a row, Randolph will reduce his mid-range and long-range shots at first, and his touch will inevitably be affected, but the inside offense is really not affected.

   Randolph's goal announced the attitude of the Trail Blazers tonight's game-it is attacking!

  The defensive end also tried its best to prepare, but the game is to play offense.

   In the regular season and the Lakers' defense, unless the defense reaches the level of the Bulls, Raptors, and Pistons, otherwise the defense will be miserable.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, the Lakers also played a fast-paced offense. Deron and West picked and rolled the offense and passed back to Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi made another pass. After West broke apart, he helped Kobe block Ray Allen. Facing Liu Xiu's defense, he leaned back and made a two-pointer!

  Liu Xiu praised David West and went directly to the flank pick-and-roll after the pick-and-roll, which avoided the awkward situation of not being able to cut him after the pick-and-roll.

Kobe praised Liu Xiu's defensive progress in the past half season. Liu Xiu's defensive confrontation is still fierce, but the application of confrontation is much smarter than in the opening game. If Liu Xiu pressed the ball on him just now, he would not be able to reach it. It is also possible to be called a foul, but Liu Xiu chose not to press up, and directly took off vertically after changing defenses to interfere with shooting by bouncing.

  If it wasn't for his good enough fadeaway jumper, the ball would have been interfered by Liu Xiu.

   In the first round of the opening round, both teams confirmed it, and they couldn't defend it!

   Both Liu Xiu and Delong gestured toward their teammates—to attack with all their might!

Hill made a long two-pointer, and Wang Zhizhi responded with a hook shot from the bottom line; Shrink the defense and score the ball, Wang Zhizhi cuts to catch the ball and scored two points; Ray Allen catches the ball and turns around and hits a three-pointer.

The two teams directly started a fierce confrontation mode. The Lakers are in amazing condition. The crazy performance of 16 consecutive victories is not for nothing. It will not be worse than the strongest time in the middle of the 16-game winning streak.

   For the Trail Blazers, apart from Randolph's inside offensive state that is not affected by too long a rest, they also have a player with a similar ability-Ray Allen's three-pointer is not affected by too long a rest!

  The strongest offensive aspects of these two can contribute immediately after their comeback, and the Blazers' offensive state is also full!

  The entire Staples Center fell into a state of constant carnival.

   At this time, the Lakers fans don't care how fierce the Blazers' offense is, they can play the same... No, they think they can play a more violent offense!

  The brutal record of 17 wins and 1 loss in the past 18 games gave them confidence!

At 11 minutes and 55 seconds into the game, Korver missed a three-pointer. Kwame Brown grabbed a rebound that bounced far from the right side of the three-second zone. He turned around and found Liu Xiu and passed it. The shot was made, and with the long whistle at the end of the first quarter, the ball rubbed against the inside of the basket and fell into the basket!

  Kobe has 12 points and 3 assists, Deron has 2 points and 5 assists, West has 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Odom has 6 points, Wang Zhizhi has 6 points, Ariza and Farmar have 2 points each...

  Liu Xiu 11 points, Ray Allen 8 points, Randolph 6 points, Kwame Brown 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Outlaws 3 points, Hill and Diaw 2 points each...

  After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers tied the Lakers 37-37 by relying on Liu Xiu's mid-range shot at the buzzer, ending the first quarter!

   Kobe played very well, and Deron organized the offense very well, but the latter was very cool and painful.

  The warden, as well as the parallel champions, Birdman, Hill, and outlaw lunatics who switched to him on the opposite side... all seem to have a grudge against him, just not letting him score! His two points were still won by foul free throws!
