Healing Basketball

Chapter 607 607. Officially Opened New Track
In the evening, Liu Xiu and his family watched the live broadcast of the Pistons' away game against the Nets.

经过2小时22分钟的大战后，晚上9点22分，活塞队客场以104比111不敌篮网队，4连胜被终结，战绩变成了30胜6负。

On this day, Liu Xiu had been waiting for a long time since defeating the Pistons, and the Pistons finally lost again.

After the game, the first thing the TV commentator mentioned was not the outcome of the game that just ended, but the Trail Blazers, which had won 14 consecutive victories, topped the league with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses.

In the world of competitive sports, it still depends on performance.

75 points in a single game is an achievement, and 14 consecutive victories to rush to the top of the league is also an achievement!
In the past week or so, because Liu Xiu failed to surpass Kobe's 75 points in a single game, the major media guided public opinion, making people feel that this is such a disappointing thing. Note that the Trail Blazers have been on a winning streak, and their winning streak is far less influential than the Pistons after their 10-game winning streak last month.

Now, relying on the opportunity of reaching the top of the league, people have suddenly discovered that Liu Xiu's performance in the 75 games since Kobe scored 5 points is not only not disappointing, but excellent!
Even after playing only 10 minutes against the Hornets, you can see his role in the game.

Immediately afterwards, the controversy came—is it better to score 75 points in a single game, or is it more powerful to lead the team to continuous victories?
...

Relying on 14 consecutive victories to reach the top of the league, the new track was successfully opened!
The task was not completed, but the limelight was truly taken.

The media, experts, and netizens are all arguing about which of Liu Xiu and Kobe's recent performance is better.

It's this popularity, which is strangely high, and the wind of public opinion is strangely biased towards Liu Xiu.

When it was time for breakfast the next day, Qing'er asked wonderingly: "The newspapers were still saying that we were all villains yesterday morning, why did they suddenly start praising us today?"

Liu Xiu was only concerned about Lehe stealing the limelight, and thinking about the terrible 5 days and 4 battles, but she really didn't think about this issue.

Anne Hathaway speculated: "It may be that yesterday they hyped Mourning's No. [-] pick and failed to hype it. It was not as hot as Paul Allen's suicidal criticism of NBA officials. Therefore, new topics are needed, and real popular stars come. Hold up the heat."

Liu Xiu took over the conversation: "It makes sense, the NBA doesn't want such a buzz about beating people, and the media wants to hype it up. Maybe Stern is still trying to find a way to suppress the buzz in this area."

Anne Hathaway nodded: "That's right, Paul Allen's suicidal attack on the NBA's official operations just made people laugh and couldn't bring real discussion heat, so they can only praise us, otherwise in the NFL season During the playoffs, the attention and influence of basketball can only get lower and lower, and the NFL playoffs are still more than three weeks away..."

Liu Xiu and Anne-Hathaway spoke to each other, Qing'er understood the reason why the news trend is so weird today, and felt that she had learned some new knowledge as a free secretary.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu participated in the team's pre-match meeting.

The coach, who usually seems to care about nothing, has a serious expression today, and said to the players: "Kwame and Alonzo can't play today, Antonio, you need to take more responsibility, Zach, you may also Need to go to center, Nickelodez, you'll be on the active list tonight..."

McDyess' face was heavy when he heard the words, and Randolph let out a wail.

Sgotishvili looked happy. Although he signed a 10-day short contract, had food and drink, and could train with NBA teams, he has never been on the active list until now. Here's your chance!

Liu Xiu complained: "Our road to winning streak is full of hardships and hardships."

Based on the current situation of the team, this is basically the second most difficult situation he has analyzed in the past two nights.

Fortunately, the extrajudicial fanatics are not so tired after playing with Stevenson to share the defensive pressure, and they have not been injured again this time.

The coach laughed when he heard Liu Xiu's complaints: "It's very difficult, Gary can't fight tonight, Damon, Steve, you have to be ready to take on more responsibilities..."

Little Flying Squirrel was flamboyant as always: "Leave it to me, the old man should have a good rest, don't compete with young people for time."

Peyton sneered: "You, young? You want to laugh me to death?"

Little Flying Squirrel fought back resolutely: "At least younger than you!"

The two were about to quarrel, and Blake suddenly said: "Real young people don't care whether they are young or not."

Momonga and Peyton collectively looked at Blake with murderous eyes.

This guy has been with the warden for a long time, and his black-bellied attributes have skyrocketed!

Payton's rotation is not a temporary arrangement, back to back, Payton, a veteran who may still need to be counted on in the playoffs, will not bother him, there are enough point guards.

Payton is not good at defending players like Terry and Stackhouse. He is hammered every time. It is better to let him rest. He can do better to defend against regular Ginobili and Finley. .

Of course, when encountering Ginobili who is in the state of a demon sword... the last second quarter had 10 points and 4 assists. Most of the time was defended by Payton, which was a disaster.

The next step is to adjust the tactical play. Liu Xiu, as the core of the ball, listens more seriously than anyone else.

Two of the three centers can't play, and one of them is still the starter, and the adjustments on both ends of the offense and defense must be quite large.

...

The pre-match meeting is quite long, and the training time is only two 15-minute training sessions, and the rest of the time is rested and prepared.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Liu Xiu, who was taking a nap, was woken up by extrajudicial lunatics, and Liu Xiu checked the forum.

After more than half a day of fermentation, the direction of public opinion has gradually changed to '14 consecutive victories > 75 points in a single game'.

The extrajudicial lunatics who were watching by the side said in surprise: "Warden, people still have discernment. I think you are much better than Bryant."

Liu Xiu glanced at the outlaw lunatic: "Thank you, next time I play against Kobe, I will use your exact words to show off to him."

Outlaw lunatic: "!!!!"

After receiving the healing value, Liu Xiu showed a smile and continued: "These are actually the media's intentional guidance. The hype of 75 points in a single game is no longer popular. It may have aroused some people's resentment, so they choose to praise me. If we If you lose next, no matter how high you hold it, you will fall badly..."

The extrajudicial lunatic nodded half-understood, he never thought about these things, playing well, training well, playing video games well, for him who is only 21 years old, this is the happiest life.

But this does not prevent him from feeling that the warden is very powerful.

After reading the news for a while, Liu Xiu went to the gym to work up some iron, and then ate a super-large deluxe nutritious box lunch with the outlaw lunatic and the butcher to restore his strength, and then warmed up...

At a little after 7 o'clock in the evening, when the Trail Blazers players were warming up, a piece of news came-the Lakers' away game against the Grizzlies ended. After an overtime game, Kobe made 37 of 20 shots, including three-pointers. He made 5 of 3 goals and 20 of 17 free throws. He scored 60 points in a single game and led the team to beat the Grizzlies 121-115.

Liu Xiu, who was practicing his sense of shooting and looking for the ball, heard the news and made a three-pointer to pay tribute to the little blacksmith who made key shots in the playoffs in his rookie year.

Just got back a little bit of limelight this morning, and was snatched back again!

...

At 7:40 p.m., in the Rose Garden Arena, the player admission ceremony began. In the manic atmosphere of the Rose Bay Devils' home court, the visiting Mavericks entered the arena first.

The commentator of ESPN Sports, the live broadcaster, briefly introduced the Mavericks' lineup, and then began to talk about Kobe's 60 points.

60+ in a single game twice in a single month, only Wilt Chamberlain has done it in NBA history!
The media are hyping that Liu Xiu, who led the team to 14 consecutive victories, has performed better recently than Kobe, who scored 75 points in a single game. Kobe scored again. Please re-evaluate who is better.

So, the ESPN commentator who was still touting Liu Xiu's 14-game winning streak when broadcasting another game an hour ago, now started to brag about Kobe's 60 points just scored.

When it was the turn of the home team, the Trail Blazers, the ESPN commentator began to create a topic-winning streak VS soaring high scores.

Kobe has scored 60 points in a single game, can Liu Xiu's winning streak continue to keep up?

The line of sight came to the court of the Rose Garden Arena, and the players of the two teams had already played.

Tonight's Mavericks players were extremely excited. After entering the arena, Terry ran to the technical platform to provoke, and exchanged spray with Little Flying Squirrel.

But the excitement of the Mavericks is also accompanied by pressure. Two of the three center forwards on the opposite side can't play, and their ability to protect the frame has plummeted. If they can't win, then they will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Seeing the Mavericks' appearance, the Trail Blazers players were all furious. The opponent obviously wanted to take advantage of them!
But Liu Xiu, who was the most annoying in the past two days, sat quietly on the bench wearing socks after entering the field.

The fans are very curious, will Liu Xiu not feel comfortable wearing so many pairs of socks?And why only wear this when playing the Mavericks?

The new Stevenson wanted to ask a few days ago when he saw Liu Xiu wearing so many socks, but this time he couldn't hold back and asked.

After putting it on, Liu Xiu jumped up and said, "It's actually quite comfortable to wear. Looking at so many pairs, the thickness is about the same as one pair."

Stevenson: "..."

He didn't really want to know the answer...

On the other side, Jet Jet, who had just had an argument with Little Flying Squirrel, was angry when he saw the picture of Liu Xiu wearing socks, he became even more angry!

The media has sorted out the little hobbies of active players. People only remember Liu Xiu for wearing several pairs of socks, and no one knows him about the Jets!
After the cordial and friendly greetings before the game, the two teams made the final preparations before the game.

The game is about to start, and Liu Xiu came to the technical platform to apply chalk and copy his talents.

"The Great Mage: Game Status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Damon Stoudemire, trait transfer talent: Flying Squirrel…

Opponent: Jason Terry, characteristic conversion talent: jet, because the host has executed the pre-conditions for the full blood version, it is added to the full blood version.

Bonus effect: When the host shoots the ball against a player taller than itself, the bounce +3 and bounce speed +3; if the host directly jumps and shoots the ball against a player taller than itself, it will make up for the bounce loss caused by the sudden jump and greatly compensate The impact of shooting stability on technical actions such as backwards. "

When Liu Xiu came to the field, he didn't need to go out of his way to understand, he already guessed what the media would say.

The previous 14 consecutive victories are just to open up a new track. Whether he can win, whether he can gain the upper hand in the air-to-air duel with the peak master, all he can rely on is to continue to win the game!
...

At 8 p.m., the Blazers go first as the Outlaws beat Dampier for the jump ball and the game begins!

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Randolph, McDyess.

Mavericks starting: Terry, Adrian - Griffin, Josh - Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Randolph + McDyess, the fast break at the beginning was too much to play, Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced quickly, and came to the frontcourt to slow down.

Seeing Dampier following McDyess, Liu Xiu looked at Ratliff, who was officially put on the bench next to the court. The new contract of the block king has just begun to be implemented, and it was signed after the Houston clause was released, so it cannot be amnesty , The buyout also takes up space, Cuban is a stall, no one in a normal team will take over a defensive center with an annual salary of [-] million yuan... er... It seems not necessarily, there is a team owner His name is Dolan, and the general manager is nicknamed Assassin.

After his teammates settled down, Liu Xiu smiled when he saw Randolph eager to try.

Seeing this, Josh Howard followed Liu Xiu's gaze and became vigilant.

McDyess pulled out to block Josh Howard for Liu Xiu, and Dampier, who expanded to defend the pick-and-roll, directly pressed up to confront Liu Xiu.

This is the threat posed by Liu Xiu throwing a three-pointer directly after the start of the pick-and-roll last time!
Liu Xiu took the initiative to lean on Dampier sideways in the confrontation, turned around and broke through!

The effect of 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Brace' was triggered, Liu Xiu started at full speed, passed Dampier easily, and broke through... Hurry up and stop!Pull-up jump shot at the free throw line... easy hit!
Liu Xiu who scored the goal was surprised, Randolph who was flanked was also surprised, and Nowitzki who was assisted in defense was also surprised...

Josh - Howard was dumbfounded, isn't the warden on the opposite side going to pull Dampier out and lob the ball to Randolph to eat Nowitzki?

Then why did he look at the butcher and smile?
Wait, is he playing psychological warfare and lying to me?

That's abominable!

On the other side, Liu Xiu, who retreated back from the defense, wondered why Josh Howard was defending like that, and suddenly received a prompt to heal him, making him even more confused.

But looking at Terry, who was aggressively advancing, he put this matter aside, and easily got an emergency stop jumper at the free throw line, as well as healing value, which is a good thing.

In the transition of offense and defense, Terry came to the top arc and passed the ball to Josh Howard instead of playing against the defense of the outlaws.

Under Ray Allen's active and steady defense, Josh Howard suddenly turned around at close range and hit a jump hook with his left hand!
When it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack, Liu Xiu continued to play pick-and-roll with McDyess. This time Josh Howard encountered the pick-and-roll and bypassed McDyess from the top line to chase Liu Xiu from the three-point line. Dampier took a step to defend. The two encircled and interfered with Liu Xiu's pass to McDyess... Liu Xiu made a decisive attack and lobbed the ball to the right of the three-second zone.

Randolph squeezed into the inside tacitly, stuck Nowitzki, caught the ball and forced Nowitzki to make a layup!
