Healing Basketball

Chapter 472 472. The Lone Wolf King
尽管刘秀36投18中、其中三分球9中4，外加8中7的罚球狂飙47分12板6助攻1抢断2盖帽，开拓者队依旧以83比88憾负快船队，5连胜被终结！
At 9:21 in the evening, when the final whistle sounded, Rahim saw the unwillingness written on Liu Xiu's face.

Rahim stepped forward and patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder: "You have done a good enough job, Warden, it's my problem, I couldn't prevent Brand."

The veteran took the initiative to take responsibility, and Liu Xiu was a little moved.

Liu Xiu knew it wasn't a defensive problem, so he only scored 88 points against the Clippers.

They have a lot to praise tonight, such as getting better and better on the defensive end, and being able to play like this when Kwame Brown is not there is already an extraordinary performance.

He can think this way because the negative emotions have already exploded in the first and second quarters, and he has been able to handle it. Afterwards, he has calmly looked at the matter of being behind by 14 points at halftime, so that he can play better and better later on.

Although they lost in the end, they actually gained a lot and exercised their resilience.

Also, after this 47 points, his consecutive 40+ times have come to 5 times, this season's 40+ times have come to 16 times, and his scoring average has increased to 31.8 points per game!
It's a pity that the three-point shot in the first half was too poor. If one more three-pointer is scored, the mission goal of 50+ times can be temporarily completed...

Forget it, today's game was too tiring, and the warden didn't have the energy to heal the bishop. He could only blame Raheem himself for not having this blessing.

Maurice Cheeks was relieved and regretful when he saw Raheem go to comfort Liu Xiu.

A 28-year-old who is at his peak, willing to accept a supporting role in order to win, has integrity, and is full of affinity... Such an exemplary player, the contract is about to expire.

Empty big contracts, give up bird rights to release salary space, and the next free market are plans at this stage, but Morris Cheeks feels that he still needs to have a good communication with the management and carefully consider the operating standards in this regard.

Maurice Cheeks is actually quite satisfied with tonight's game. There is nothing he can do about losing, and he has to accept the pain of the rotation. They are safe in the top three in the Western Conference. The probability of finishing second is not high. The Mavericks have won 13 consecutive victories. Currently 59 wins and 18 losses, the end of the season, as a team that is expected to win 60, can still make visible progress in some areas, what more bicycles are needed.

...

The fact that the winning streak was ended, in the 5-day 4-game schedule, there was no time for sadness.

On the afternoon of the second day after playing the Clippers, the Trail Blazers came to Minneapolis, rested and adjusted, and then came to the Target Center to warm up and enter the game.

The Blazers were greeted by passionate and angry boos from Minneapolis fans.

Although the football market is not big, the fans here are really enthusiastic. The teams here at least have a guaranteed box office.

After Liu Xiu ran out of the court with his teammates amid boos, he received a task prompt.

Sure enough, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Jermaine O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace and other insiders all failed to meet the triggering conditions. The task "giant killer" was triggered when playing Garnett!

"Giant Slayer:
Target: Kevin Garnett.

Key words: bewildered.

Goal: The host needs to lead the team to defeat the Timberwolves.

Reward: 2000 healing value. "

at a loss?

Liu Xiu looked at Garnett who was the last to run out from the home team's tunnel, as if it was different from the previous match.

In the past, Garnett, no matter what happened, as long as he stepped on the court, he was full of passion. No matter his teammates or opponents, he was driven by him with passion and enthusiasm... But the feeling of Garnett entering the court tonight, that Temperament, like a lonely wolf king licking his wounds.

Liu Xiu remembered, Garnett, who played the best performance in the league last month, has not moved this month. In April, he had a 4-game losing streak. His record went from 5 wins to 36 losses, and he still has a little hope of entering the season. Playoffs, so far 35 wins and 36 losses, out early!

Last season's Timberwolves, No. [-] in the Western Conference, last season's Garnett, is the MVP!

And this season, Garnett can still play the best performance in the league, but the Timberwolves can't make the playoffs, and they didn't even enter the final playoffs to compete for the finals!

The most ridiculous thing is that Liu Xiu looked at the opposite starting lineup, Cassel, Sprewell, Szczerbiak, Garnett, Przybilla.

After the All-Star Weekend, the lineup was exceptionally healthy. Kassel, who was constantly injured before the All-Star Weekend, returned to health. Szczerbiak returned and introduced the strong big white bear Przybilla, who averaged 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. The Timberwolves' lineup is actually stronger than last season.

But if it weren't for Garnett C's bloody March to get 3 wins and 10 losses, the Timberwolves would have collapsed long ago.

This wave of McHale's own coaching operation is simply...Liu Xiu heard that, under pressure, McHale stated that this season he just did not have a suitable head coach candidate, and he had no choice but to choose himself. He will step down from the position of head coach and look for a better coach.

This is not bad, it is better to stop the loss in time.

But Liu Xiu also heard about McHale's another showy operation as the management.

After praising the madman for a year and his excellent performance of 3 wins and 10 losses in March, McHale gave the madman a three-year mid-level salary, which was rejected by the madman.

He also gave the veteran Cassel a "generous" contract of $3 million for three years, but was also rejected.

Liu Xiu always thought that a madman's mind was full of water, so he shouted "not enough old age". Now he finds that the Timberwolves management is the one with the bigger problem. Anyone who is praised by the Timberwolves management will feel that The team will definitely give him a long-term contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, let alone a madman with water in his head.

Although the three-headed monster is old, but the state has lasted for two or three years without any problems, the championship-level combination actually collapsed after playing like this...

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Timberwolves in the second back-to-back away game.

The Trail Blazers played with all the main players, and the starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and Kwame Brown debuted!
The score in the first quarter was 23 to 22. The Trail Blazers led by 1 point and entered the second quarter. It seemed that the two sides played back and forth and performed equally. But in the second quarter, the gap appeared. The Trail Blazers scored slightly. Scored 24 points, while the Timberwolves' score plummeted to 18 points.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Timberwolves by 47 points 40 to 7!
The real gap was reflected in the third quarter. Liu Xiu made 5 of 3 shots in a single quarter, plus 10 of 8 free throws. He scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the Trail Blazers score 33 to 25. There was a wave of rise, but Liu Xiu still easily helped the team widen the point difference.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Timberwolves by 80 points 65 to 15!
From the performance of the Timberwolves in the third quarter, Liu Xiu clearly saw the gap between this opponent and their previous ones. It could be seen that Garnett was different from the previous ones-lost motivation!There is no such ruthlessness as before, even if it is just barely enough, you have to take a bite.

At the end of the quarter, Liu Xiu played for a few minutes without a good chance to score. The opponent didn't even care about winning or losing, so they blocked him from scoring. It's time for a rest.

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Timberwolves 105 to 88, and their record improved to 57 wins and 20 losses!
Only one win away from last season's record!There are still 1 games left!
After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a reminder that the 'Giant Slayer' was completed, and she got 2000 healing points.

What makes him regret is that his consecutive 40+ was broken. Relying on 14 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, he scored 32 points tonight, but at least he did not lower his scoring average.

He must look forward to surpassing Kobe's record of 9 consecutive 40+ games in the modern basketball era.

But it’s really not a good opportunity. A team like the Clippers doesn’t have to block his motivation to score, but the Timberwolves have it no matter what. Liu Xiu regrets that he picked Garnett at the All-Star Weekend last year... I should have known that it would be heavier .

Also, a team like the Jazz that plays poorly and emphasizes defense is not a good target for scoring.

Of course, this means that this is not the goal of the 'Legendary Prologue', otherwise on the basis of guaranteeing victory, he must win a wave.

……

……

On the morning of April 4th, the Trail Blazers couldn't wait to leave Minneapolis and return to Portland, enjoying the warm welcome of fans at the airport.

With 4 consecutive away, 3 wins and 1 loss, the fans of the Trail Blazers are extremely excited.

There are 5 games left, and if you win 3 of them, you will get 60 wins!
Before the start of the season, there were a lot of media who were pessimistic about them.

There are countless situations in the history of the NBA that won 50 wins and 55 wins in the last season, and the record plummeted in the new season.

Trail Blazers fans were also worried at the time.

But now, they are almost 60 wins!

It feels so good to slap those reporters in the face!
Liu Xiu and his teammates felt the enthusiasm of the fans. In this regard, they can empathize with them, and they have more motivation to hit 60 wins.

But the most important thing right now is to go home to sleep and rest... Except for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu returned home and took his girlfriend and younger sister to work in the field. Small excavators and tractors took turns to sow the crops of the season.

On the one hand, it is a hobby, on the other hand, it is to relieve stress.

The rest time was very short and passed quickly. One night passed, and on April 4th, the second back-to-back of 13 battles in 5 days came!

Early in the morning, the Rose Garden Arena was already crowded, and the fans were extremely enthusiastic. Those who didn’t know it thought that the Trail Blazers were about to usher in a highly anticipated matchup, but in fact it was a matchup with no TV stations at this time. Extra broadcast game - Trail Blazers vs. Jazz, the second-to-last seed in the Western Conference.

Moreover, the Jazz is a disgusting team with 26 wins and 52 losses but can limit the average score of the opponent to 92 points per game. When Kirilenko was not injured, even the Suns played against the Jazz. sex.

But it doesn't matter to Trail Blazers fans!

When I was about to finish writing last night, the book suddenly went dark...the battery ran out...when will it be cooler or without power...
