Healing Basketball

Chapter 471. 471. Prologue of the Legend
The Celtics, what a miserable 16 championships!

It has become a cash machine for major scorers.

Liu Xiu feels very sorry, such a strong team, with Pierce and Anthony Walker as two major scorers, can play well and can compete with any team that just reached the final team is actually in the Eastern Conference...

Iverson has 60+ points twice in a single season, and is the only player in active play. Not to mention the Trail Blazers’ 5-game winning streak, Liu Xiu’s 4 consecutive games of 40+ games, even the Mavericks’ 12-game winning streak and the Suns’ 60-wins. In the limelight.

On the second morning of the game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming had morning tea together, and they were also talking about Iverson's 63 points.

Liu Xiu sighed: "The Mavericks have actually produced three MVP candidates. The Mavericks have a good eye for newcomers over the years, but the poor three MVP candidates have been robbed of the limelight by Iverson."

Yao Ming responded suspiciously: "Huh? Aren't we talking about Iverson's 63 points? By the way, where did the Mavericks get three MVP candidates?"

"Nash, Kidd, Nowitzki, they all played in the Mavericks."

"Yes..."

Having said that, Yao Ming also thinks that the Mavericks are a bit strong in this regard.

It would have been nice if Nash had gone to the Rockets last summer. Although the Rockets couldn't run and shoot, Nash scored in singles + shot from the wing. He was already an All-Star in the iron-blooded era...

Wait, the topic is still off topic!
Yao Ming was about to change the subject, and said, "Warden, in order to compete with you for the scoring championship, Iverson has already begun to work hard."

"Yeah, hey..." Liu Xiu sighed, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Iverson to find out that I was secretly competing for the scoring title!"

"..."

Yao Ming was speechless.

He re-understands what it means to be sneaky.

You have 4+ games in a row for 40 consecutive games, and you are still sneaking around?
Eh? !

and many more!

The warden is euphemistically implying that my voice to the management is too low?
It must be!The Warden’s teammates are all so good. Because of the lack of a big pitcher, the Warden mentioned it several times in an interview. For this reason, they sent out their bosses. It is said that Van Horn’s business idol is Paul A. Len...

Yao Ming started his excellent reading comprehension mode.

...

Liu Xiu and Yao Ming made an appointment for breakfast after the game, and then went back to pack their things, and then they will go to other cities to play.

It can be seen that Yao Ming is very happy to play an away game.

At the time of parting, Liu Xiu warmly and friendlyly said to Yao Ming, "If you want tickets for the playoffs, you can find me", and the latter left much more briskly.

After returning to the hotel to pack up his things, Liu Xiu followed the team to Los Angeles.

On the plane, Liu Xiu looked at the white clouds outside the window and felt melancholy.

"Prologue to the Legend:
Optional goal 1: Defeat Allen Iverson to win the 2004-2005 season scoring champion.

Optional goal 2: 40 times of 19+ times in a single game this season.

Optional goal 3: 50 times in a single game of 3+ times this season. (final goal undecided)

Optional goal 4: The average score per game this month needs to reach 40 points.

Rewards: Completing any of the objectives will open a series of missions on the Legendary Road. Completing 1-3 objectives will reward the same number of designated attribute cards according to the number of completed objectives. Completing 4 objectives will reward an additional random high-level attribute card. "

Liu Xiu must be concerned about the scoring champion. After the mission was triggered last night, he went back to the hotel and checked what these goals represented.

目标2，是科比在02-03赛季单赛季19次40+。

目标3，艾弗森在本赛季已经3次单场50+，生涯新高，和科比02-03赛季的单赛季3次50+并列现役第一。

Goal 4 is that Kobe averaged 2003+ per game in a single month in January 1. Before Kobe, only Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor averaged 40+ per game in a single month in ancient times. Neither did Jordan. Bryant had the 'No. 40 shooting guard' season.

Originally, he just wanted to be the scoring champion, and he would definitely give it a try if he had the chance.

But there was no pressure at that time. Regardless of whether the outside world said it or not, he just had to work hard to score the top scorer. If he had the opportunity to score points, he would score.

Of course now he doesn't care about those voices, he has a clear conscience about what he does on the court.

But when the task came, it was different.

It is said that you only need to complete any of the goals to start the series of tasks, but if you don't complete these goals, it feels like a loss!

But these tasks are too difficult!

If you can complete one item in one season, it is definitely a very successful season, but if you have to complete all of them in one season, this, this, this... Isn't this Kobe in the 05-06 season or the 06-07 season?
No, Liu Xiu thought about it. In those two years, Kobe was two or three times more fierce. It seems that in the year when he scored the most fiercely, he scored 50+ points in a single game 10 times.

Fortunately, he doesn't like trouble. After feeling melancholy for a while, his thoughts changed to how to complete this task.

The scoring champion must be up for grabs. He has been "working hard secretly for a month and amaze everyone".

19 times 40+ to tie Kobe Bryant, 4 times short, 7 times in 4 games, the difficulty is really not small.

The Los Angeles double worms must be won.

The Jazz and Timberwolves are enough.

The Suns have a higher probability of rushing.

The Nuggets and the Mavericks ... the key lies in these two opponents.

50+ in a single game, he has it twice this season, and the mission goal is marked with uncertain goals, that is, if Iverson wins another game of 50+, the difficulty of the goal will continue to increase, so let's count it as 3 times for the time being. I think we can find a way on the Lakers and Suns. The Clippers have a high probability of winning 40+, but it is hard to say 50+. The Jazz, Timberwolves, Mavericks, and Nuggets are unlikely.

Goal 4's 40+ in a single month is the most difficult task in theory. It has been done by three people in the entire history of the NBA. On the contrary, it may be the easiest of the four goals...

After the plan was completed, Liu Xiu's melancholy mood faded away.

If the task goal really fails, there will definitely be negative emotions, but wait until it fails!

"Hey..." Liu Xiu sighed, and said to the outlaw lunatic next to him, "I just want to be the scoring champion, why is it so troublesome?"

Outlaw lunatic: "..."

The boss pretends to be very good, but the younger brother, I can't learn it!

……

……

Arrived in Los Angeles to rest for one night, and came to the Staples Center the next morning to prepare for the game.

Preparing for the game is very simple. I held a meeting, practiced a few sets of shooting and defensive coordination, and it was gone.

Not only this game, Liu Xiu learned in the preparation meeting that the next games against the Timberwolves and Jazz will be prepared in this way.

So did the game against the Lakers at the end.

Because these are non-playoff teams, including the Timberwolves.

Last night, the Timberwolves lost their 40th game of the season. They currently have a record of 36 wins and 40 losses. Even if the remaining 6 games are all victorious, they only have 42 wins, while Yao Ming has already won 42 games. The Timberwolves have 2 wins and 1 loss, and the Timberwolves are out early.

These non-playoff teams do not have any preparations against them, and their strength is also superior. Just play directly. .

And this was suggested by his warden.

Some things, no one brought them up, even if it was a very simple matter, no one would think in that direction.

For example, the rotation of back-to-back games...

Tonight, Randolph and Kwame - Brown, three outlaw lunatics rest.

After the preparation training, Liu Xiu wandered around the Staples Center with the outlaws, butchers, parallel importers and others. When they returned to the Staples Center for lunch at noon, they saw the Staples Center ticket office Liu Xiu was stunned, and his teammates laughed wildly.

What's on the Poster - Stop the Warden from competing for the scoring title, Los Angeles fans are one family!
It even posted the fact that Liu Xiu scored 60 points against the Lakers last year, no doubt to attract Lakers fans to buy tickets.

Liu Xiu took a look at the ticket price, the price was nearly half of the ticket price when they came here to play the Lakers last time, and it was already sold out!
"The money for the Lakers fans is really good! How about I make a 'Down with the Warden' T-shirt and sell it in Los Angeles?"

...

At 4 pm on April 10th, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Clippers started.

The Trail Blazers sent a starting lineup of Payton, Liu Xiu, Delfino, Raheem, and Varejao.

The Clippers sent a starting lineup of Livingston, Bobby Simmons, Maggette, Brand, and Kaman.

After the start of the game, the Trail Blazers played very badly and only scored 18 points in the first quarter. Of these 18 points, 11 points were scored by Liu Xiu; With 26 points in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers entered the second quarter behind the Clippers by 8 points!

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers became more and more sluggish, with 13 points in a single quarter, and the outside shooting felt really good. The combination of mid-range shots and three-pointers made 10 of 1 shots in a single quarter!The Clippers can shrink and flank Liu Xiu as much as they want, and Liu Xiu only made 7 of 2 shots and scored 6 points in this quarter.

However, the Trail Blazers were not defeated by the Clippers. They showed the tenacity that a strong team should have and have been working hard to adjust. The offense in the second quarter was even worse. Liu Xiu did a better job defending Maggette, helping the team limit the Clippers' scoring to less than 20 points, allowing the Clippers to score only 19 points!
After halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Clippers by 31 points 45 to 14.

In the third quarter, the Blazers' offensive and defensive adjustments were getting better and better. Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, who scored 12 points in a single quarter, the Blazers finally scored 20 points, which happened to be 20 points. The team's scoring limit continued, and the Clippers only scored 20 points. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers closed the gap 51-65.

At the end of the quarter, the Trail Blazers are on the rise!Liu Xiu made 10 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 4 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 18 points!
Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers scored 32 points in the final quarter. Unfortunately, the Clippers were also very resilient tonight. Brand took advantage of the absence of Kwame Brown and Randolph and scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to help The Clippers scored 23 points in the final quarter and defended the victory!
