Healing Basketball

Chapter 619.

More than ten days have passed since the night of the 80-point Miracle VS Miracle’s 18-game winning streak. During this period, Kobe scored between 20 and 30 points in most games and did not continue to soar. However, the Lakers have a very good record in the last 6 games. Yes, 4 wins and 2 losses, which is higher than the previous winning percentage of the Lakers.

Liu Xiu's winning streak has also been broken, and she has no intention of rushing to 80+. She rarely even participates in interviews, and concentrates on her career.

But the heat of the topic between the two has not come down, because there are many scorers who are not calm, especially those scorers who are currently at their peak when Kobe entered the NBA at the same time, and were stimulated by Kobe's crazy performance.

For McGrady, when he played against the Mavericks two days ago, he made 28 of 15 shots in the first three quarters, including 10 of 6 three-pointers and 19 of 15 free throws. He scored 51 points. After three quarters, the Nets scored 82 to 74 Leading the Mavericks by 8 points.

But watching McGrady, who already had 51 points, continue to throw wildly in the final quarter, but he couldn't make any shots, and even made three non-stick shots.

末节9投2中，有1个进球是三分球，加上2中1的罚球，只拿到6分，最终表现变成了37投17中拿到57分，从高效的28投15中拿到51分，变成了怒打20铁刷分。

The most important thing is that in that game, the Nets were finally overturned by the angry Mavericks. The Mavericks scored 33 to 22 in the final quarter and reversed the Nets 107 to 104.

Carter said that he would teach bad friends, but his body was honest in the game. When he played against the Bulls, he took 36 shots, a career high, but he performed well. He made 36 of 18 shots, including 4 three-pointers. 2, plus 14 of 13 free throws, scored 51 points, and the Pistons also defeated the Bulls 104-95.

Iverson is the one who throws the most fiercely, and may be the only one in active service who is capable of taking 40 shots while maintaining shooting efficiency.

On the 23rd, when Iverson played against the Spurs for the second time this season, he threw 41 wild throws. Unfortunately, his performance was not good this time. He only made 41 of 17 shots, including 11 of 4 three-pointers and 10 of them. 9 free throws and only 47 points, the 76ers lost to the Spurs 94 to 101.

Others, Marbury, Francis, Hamilton, Arenas, Anthony, James, Wade all had a few games where the number of shots surged.

During this period, the reporters and editors in charge of basketball news were focusing on the topic of "who can surpass Kobe's 80 points" and grabbing attention in the NFL playoffs. Liu Xiu and Kobe were fighting for the victory in a low-key manner. Deliberately fighting for something, the heat is still high.

In Liu Xiu's opinion, compared with other scorers, Ray Allen is considered calm, just expecting his teammates to give Kobe a shot.

Instead, he himself was not as calm as the team thought...

...

Liu Xiu ignored Ray Allen, who had a sudden convulsion. Sure enough, when he returned to the home team's training ground, the three-point leader returned to normal when there were more people.

He has already figured out the way to get along with Ray Allen - talk about things, do things when there is something to do, and there is no need to communicate too much if there is nothing to do.

Liu Xiu likes to make friends very much, but Ray Allen doesn't like to make friends now.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Trail Blazers held a preparation meeting.

Huo Tu, who was in charge of hosting the meeting, first displayed the league's current record ranking on the screen.

东部：活塞队37胜8负第一、热火队28胜16负第二、猛龙队26胜17负第三、步行者队33胜11负第四……

西部：开拓者队37胜7负第一、马刺队36胜9负第二、湖人队25胜18负第三、小牛队29胜16负第四……

Huo Tu let the players watch for a while, and said: "We have performed very well this month. We have only lost two games so far, but the Pistons and Spurs have only lost 3 games. We have not competed with the Pistons and Spurs. The team opened up a real gap, the league's No. [-] position is not stable, we all know the strength of the Pistons, they are ready to overtake us at any time, and the Spurs, who have always been strong, are also biting behind.

We want to maintain the league's No. [-] ranking to end this month, and tomorrow's game against the Lakers is very critical.

The performance of the Lakers this month ranks in the top five in the league. They currently have 9 wins and 4 losses, which is comparable to the performance of the Pacers, only worse than us, the Pistons, and the Spurs. Improve to 2005 wins and 16 losses.

In addition to the record, we also have the warden's MVP competition. We won all the first 9 games this month, plus the 9 consecutive victories last month, and won 18 consecutive victories. The warden has 76 points, which is very likely Get the best of the month, if you can win, the warden will have two best of the month this season, and will take the lead in the MVP competition.

And the Warden's biggest competitor for the best of the month is our opponent tomorrow, Lakers star Bryant..."

Huo Tu talked to the players about the importance of tomorrow's game, and the coach watched the players' reactions from the sidelines.

When it came to the MVP competition, he didn't see surprises or unwanted reactions from the expressions on the players' faces.

The coach whispered to the vice president who was also looking at the players next to him: "It seems that no one is dissatisfied with our team helping the warden to fight for the MVP."

The vice president nodded: "Yes, you are right, our cohesion may be better than we expected."

"But I didn't expect you to let Lionel speak out about this matter directly. I didn't expect you to be the one who most actively wanted the warden to win the MVP." The coach's tone was full of curiosity.

The vice president looked around. The coach was writing and drawing on the speech, making the final adjustments for the next defensive training arrangement. The vice president leaned closer to the coach and whispered a few words.

The coach laughed out loud when he heard the words, and attracted everyone's attention. He quickly waved his hand to signal that he should not be bothered at this time.

After people's attention returned to the meeting, the coach whispered to the vice president: "Do you have any grudges with Alan? Find ways to spend his money in different ways."

The vice president replied helplessly: "There is no way, our income has exceeded our budget again this season, we have to find a way to increase expenses."

Coach: "... Vaco!"

...

On Liu Xiu's side, when he heard the chief assistant coach directly mentioning the goal of competing for the MVP, he was dazed for a moment, but he didn't find it strange. Normal teams would do this, but they just said it directly in the team meeting like they did. The situation is relatively rare.

But then his attention was attracted by the data of Kobe's last 13 games in the projection screen.

In the last 6 games, Kobe's minimum score was 22 points and the highest score was 29 points. He scored less than 6 points in 30 consecutive games, but!
科比这个月的数据是以49%的投篮命中率、39.7%的三分命中率场均命中3.5个三分球、外加场均13.4罚12中的罚球，场均拿到43.4分。

Nearly half of the games scored less than 30 points, but also averaged 43.4 points per game!
In the 30 games where Kobe scored less than 6 points, it can be seen that he gave up the data in order to win the game. Liu Xiu watched a Kobe game on the 21st, and Kobe would still pass the ball when it was a one-on-three match. The purpose of getting good data is to win.

从目前这情况看，科比这个月场均40+也没跑了，前三个比赛月有俩月场均40+，目前已经15次单场40+……刘秀咋感觉科比比他印象中的05-06赛季拼得还要更狠？

Anyway, the current players kept by his warden have a maximum of 40 times in a single game of 21+ in a single season. It is estimated that they will not last until February... But I hope the opponents of the great gods will work harder, at least make it through the All-Star Weekend!

...

After morning practice, the Blazers gathered in the dugout to watch the live broadcast.

At noon the day before yesterday, the all-star voting had ended, and today is the day to announce the voting results.

Liu Xiu didn't go in until the votes were announced and the outlaws called him.

It was really no surprise. Kobe won the most votes with 266 million votes. He won the All-Star vote leader for the second time in his career, beating James with 249 million votes and Carter with 238 million votes.

Liu Xiu got 233 million votes, ranking second in the Western Conference and fourth in the league.

At the end of the first stage of voting, Carter ranked first. In the second stage, Kobe overtook him. In the third stage, James rushed up again.

Although Liu Xiu has done a good job of psychological construction, there is a high probability that he will not be able to win the vote this year. The fans have won the vote twice for him. It has been very hard, especially the first vote champion. It's really not easy for him, the fans, so this year he didn't make any remarks related to the All-Star ticket king.

But I really didn't get it, and there is still a trace of sadness...

In addition, the NBA has revised the vote counting rules, and there are many restrictions on the voting of fans outside North America... In fact, it is to limit the number of votes of fans in the Chinese market.

But this little bit of sadness, when Liu Xiu saw the starting list of the Eastern All-Stars and the ranking of the center's votes, he didn't feel sad anymore.

Isn't there something worse!

His warden was selected as the starter no matter what.

姚明以191万票力压175万票的奥尼尔，连续4年入选全明星首发，4年里第3次击败奥尼尔！

Both of them are miserable. Yao Ming and O'Neal are both in the East, and the votes are not much higher.

Eastern starters:

后卫：231万票的麦迪、206万票的艾弗森，前锋：238万票的卡特、249万票的詹姆斯，中锋：191万票的姚明。

Western starters:

后卫：233万票的刘秀、161万票的纳什，前锋：266万票的科比、188万票的加内特，中锋：194万票的邓肯。

Liu Xiu looked at the number of votes for the guard line in the West. Ray Allen was third with 149 million votes. After Kobe was placed in the forward position by the league, Ray Allen had the opportunity to rush forward, but Nash’s performance this season could not be held back. The season was even fiercer, and in the end Ray Allen still couldn't compete with Nash.

But Ray Allen still dragged Nash into the All-Star starter with the lowest number of votes.

Their Trail Blazers also have an unlucky guy, Kwame Brown, who received second votes at the center position, with 185 million votes!

Yao Ming has gone to the East, Stoudemire is reimbursed for the season, if the league does not put Duncan at the center position, Kwame Brown will most likely be selected as the starter, because the center position in the West this year is unprecedentedly weak!
