Healing Basketball

Chapter 635 635. Halfway First!

Slowing down, Randolph complained: "No wonder Carmelo doesn't like talking about basketball with you... Pierce came to my game that time. I remember that he wanted to recruit me for the University of Kansas."

"you go?"

"No, I ended up at Michigan State because my idol magician went to college there."

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Then why did Pierce give you clothes?"

Randolph thought for a while: "I remember that there was a news report that exposed the fact that I only had two pairs of jeans for four years in high school. I received an admission letter two months before I decided to go to Michigan State University. Hundreds of pants from current or retired players."

"It's good to live for a long time. I can see everything..."

After breakfast, Liu Xiu thought that Randolph was going to catch up on sleep, but Randolph went to play cards with his teammates. When he took the "Rose Bay Prison" to Charlotte in the afternoon, Randolph was still playing dice After playing the game, I went to sleep at the hotel in Charlotte.

Liu Xiu didn't even know whether to say that Randolph had perseverance or no perseverance.

Anyway, there was still some self-discipline in the past two years, but now it is completely broken.

But with Randolph working too hard and being injured repeatedly in the early part of this season, Liu Xiu will not stimulate Randolph in this regard as before, so he can do whatever he wants. Now Randolph is already strong.

If a stronger player is needed, he becomes stronger himself...

In the evening, the second 2-win team of the season was released.

The Pistons narrowly beat the Heat 104 to 102. Wade made a three-pointer to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant in his rookie season.

Liu Xiu checked and found that the Pistons played four games in five days before the All-Star weekend. It's hard to say whether the number of losses can be kept in single digits.

Also, as long as the Pistons lose another game, their Trail Blazers can lock the half-time championship.

Another competitor, the Spurs, has lost 11 games. When their Trail Blazers won their 41st game, they had already secured the Western Conference half-time championship.

...

After a night of rest, on February 2, the penultimate game day before the Trail Blazers All-Star Weekend arrived.

At 5:30 in the evening, at the Time Warner Center in Charlotte, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Bobcats started.

Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Fred Jones, Outlaws, Aaron Williams, Kwame Brown.

Bobcats starting: Blevin - Knight, Matt - Carroll, Gerald - Wallace, Marvin - Williams, Primoz - Brezek.

Tonight, Ray Allen and Randolph took turns to rest, Payton also rested, Blake was injured, and the 4 players could not play. At noon, Lou Williams was called back and entered the activation of the game list.

Maurice Cheeks made such an adjustment, and Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff was upset but there was nothing he could do.

Bickerstaff looked at his own lineup, and Marvin Williams was selected as the second pick. Boss Joe's vision is really good.

If Paul is selected for their lineup, they will stand up straight away!
Okafor was reimbursed for the season after playing more than 20 games, Gerald Wallace had a lot of injuries, and the back line was bleak...Matt Carroll can be a starter.

Matt Carroll, with an annual salary of only 115 million dollars, averaged 9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41%. Well, it's already 10 wins and 40 losses, so don't worry about that much.

After the game started, it was very easy for Liu Xiu to play outside the Bobcats.

The 178 cm Blevin Knight, Liu Xiu ran over directly;
Old teammate Matt Carroll, Liu Xiu's technique combined with physical fitness is also easy;

Gerald Wallace is the only one who can withstand it, but he can give Liu Xiu interference from long distance and mid-range. Liu Xiu goes deep inside, and he can't stand it, and the Bobcats don't have too many pincers. Except for players like Matt Carroll who are struggling at the bottom, everyone else on the Bobcats only thinks about how to get good data and get new contracts.

At any rate, he could cover Liu Xiu's mid-range and long-range shots in a single defense. After McDyess came on the court and Liu Xiu played the pick-and-roll offense, Gerald Wallace had no other options.

刘秀首节7投4中，其中三分球1中1，加上3中3的罚球，单节拿到12分，率领开拓者队以23比18领先山猫队5分进入第二节。

第二节刘秀再接再厉，7投5中，外加1中1的罚球拿到11分，半场打完，刘秀拿到23分4板2助攻，率队以48比41领先山猫队7分。

In the second half, the Trail Blazers stabilized their offensive performance in the second quarter, scoring 26 points in the third quarter and 27 points in the fourth quarter, and the Bobcats had only 21 points in two consecutive quarters. They scored 53 to 42 in the second half. In the second half, Liu Xiu's scoring was still stable, with 14 points in the third quarter and 8 points in the final quarter.

刘秀28投16中，其中三分球5中3，加上罚球12中10，37分钟出场时间里拿到45分11板6助攻5抢断，率领开拓者队以101比83轻松击败山猫队，将战绩提升至43胜8负！
...

Liu Xiu scored 4+ in a single game for the fourth time this season, and the Trail Blazers coaching staff was very excited.

Although they believe that Liu Xiu can switch back to the scoring mode at any time, stand up and score high when he needs to use scoring to lead the team to win, but after confirming this matter, they are still very happy.

In any case, I will be a little worried. With Liu Xiu's increasing age and rich experience in the game, it is actually hard to say whether the ability to freely switch modes of play can continue.

Reiki is something that fades with time.

Defeating the Bobcats, there is one more thing for the Trail Blazers coaching staff and players to be excited about.

When they beat the Bobcats, the Pistons played against the Heat at the same time.

The back-to-back home and away games between the Pistons and the Heat are a point of interest for the NBA before the All-Star Weekend. Yesterday the Pistons defeated the Heat in an away game, and today the Heat stole the limelight again...

Fans are very excited to watch the fierce battle between the two major championship contenders in the Eastern Conference. The official goal of the NBA has been achieved.

The Trail Blazers are also happy. The two rivals in the East consume each other. They benefit from each other. The Pistons' record has become 40 wins and 10 losses.

The Trail Blazers have now locked the half-time championship!

The next morning after the Bobcats, the Trail Blazers left Charlotte for the last city in their six-game streak, all the way north...

At noon, Liu Xiu followed the team to Toronto, and stayed in the room after arriving at the hotel.

When the butcher and the outlaws came to Liu Xiu to play CS, Liu Xiu complained: "Why didn't the league arrange our game against the Raptors in April? At least it wouldn't be so cold at that time. They really were targeting Our big prison team!"

Randolph echoed, "That's right, that's right!"

The extrajudicial lunatic analyzed from a professional point of view: "The game in April will generally reduce the team's flight journey. Portland is too far away from here, so it will not be arranged that way. The best way is to separate it too far. The far teams played together in consecutive away games, just like Charlotte and Boston in our consecutive away games, they are too far away from us.

When the Raptors played against us in an away game, I remember that it was also one of the consecutive away games. In April, there will generally not be more than two consecutive away games, nor will such a single away game spanning the entire United States be arranged. Therefore, In theory, we can't play the Raptors in April. "

After the analysis of the outlaw lunatics, the warden and the butcher thought it made sense, and they pointed at the door of the room together: "Get out!"
