Healing Basketball

Chapter 788 788. A Natural Leader

After playing the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers took a day off, and on the 12th, they ushered in a challenge from the Timberwolves at home.

Brandon Roy...

Liu Xiu looked at the rookie No. [-] who was surrounded by Luol Deng, Ricky Davis, Randy Foye, Mike James, Mark Blunt, Mark Jackson, Sweetney and other teammates. I knew that this guy had outstanding charisma as a leader, and I thought it was incredible.

As soon as Roy arrived at the Timberwolves, this mess that Garnett couldn't even support was revived!
In the first 6 games, the Timberwolves have 3 wins and 3 losses, which is much better than the start of last season!

If the Timberwolves management chooses to bring Chandler back, even if Chandler's progress is slow, he will be much better than Mark Blunt and Mark Jackson... But Liu Xiu knows that this is impossible, and Chandler's contract is too large. He is too big, and he is not worthy of such a big contract now.

The Timberwolves sent away the 30-year-old Garnett in exchange for young players and draft picks. Liu Xiu just thought this team was stupid at first, but now he sees why.

The Timberwolves should not lose confidence in Garnett because he lost the best team last season, but the salary situation of the Timberwolves.

Mark Blunt, the Timberwolves traded Szczerbiak back, signed a 04-year 6 million dollar contract in 4200, with 4 years left, and averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds per game last season, which is not easy to sell.

Troy Hudson's contract is in bad hands, with 2 years and 1200 million dollars left.

Marko Jaric joined the Timberwolves in the summer of 04 for more than 200 million. His performance in the season made the Timberwolves management ecstatic. It was he who made McHale feel that he could continue to squeeze Kassel and not be afraid of Kassel running away.

After the end of the 04-05 season, the Timberwolves gave Marko Jaric a 6-year $4000 million contract. This contract is only in its second year this year...

Ricky Davis, who has two years and $2 million left on his contract, is also a headache...

With this salary situation and this lineup, even with Garnett in hand, there is no hope of regaining support. It is normal for the Timberwolves to choose to break through.

But in this way, the Timberwolves will no longer want players with big contracts, and Chandler's annual premium contract of tens of millions is even more impossible.

Liu Xiu reckons that the Timberwolves are ready to slowly train Roy and Luol Deng, put a lot of draft picks, and grow up slowly like they did in the late 90s. After getting through those garbage contracts, Roy and Luol -Deng has also reached his peak, but Roy did not give the Timberwolves a chance to wait!

Rise directly!
Liu Xiu even saw the comments, some people compared Roy, who only played 6 games, with him.

This feeling is still very subtle...

That's right, the talent of 'Leadership Light' that Liu Xiu copied from Roy was given for nothing.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves started.

In the first quarter, Roy and Mike James played fiercely!
Roy couldn't understand the superior look of the Trail Blazers players very much.

Liu Xiu's smile seemed to him to be mocking.

Randolph's stature, how can he look like a player?
Roy disliked Randolph as much as he disliked Sweetney.

And the bluffing and nervous Stevenson and Kwame Brown...

Everyone on the Trail Blazers made Roy angry!

Roy went on a rampage and scored 6 points on 4 of 11 shots in a single quarter. Mike James made 3 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter. The two led the Timberwolves in a single quarter Get 30 points!
After the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Trail Blazers by two points 30 to 28!

刘秀首节8投3中，拿到7分3板2助攻，雷-阿伦拿到7分，替补登场的莫宁靠着刘秀外线浪投连续吃饼和二次进攻，5投4中拿到开拓者队最高的单节8分。

The Timberwolves beat the Trail Blazers for a moment!
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers began to strengthen their defense. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves scored 22 points. 19 leads the Trail Blazers by 52 points!
In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored even worse. They made 16 of 3 shots in a single quarter. With Liu Xiukuang rushing to the basket to get all 7 free throws in a single quarter, the Blazers only scored 10 points with 14 points in a single quarter. point.

However, the Timberwolves were defended to only 12 points in the third quarter...

The Trail Blazers finally started chasing points!After three quarters, the Trail Blazers narrowed the point difference to 61 points 64 to 3!
Roy, who scored 11 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second quarter, had zero eggs in the third quarter.

At the end of the quarter, Ray Allen took the lead, hit two three-pointers in a row, and hit a wave of 6-2 alone to help the Trail Blazers overtake the score, leading 67-66.

Immediately afterwards, Mike James and Luol Deng also launched a fierce attack. Roy continued to be targeted. The teammates did not make good use of this in the third quarter, but they made good use of it in the final quarter.

Dwayne Casey, a rookie coach, looks much better than McHale. He really has a sense of sight that even a tethered dog is better than McHale...

Led by Mike James and Luol Deng, the Timberwolves maintained a 4.7-point lead with 1 seconds left, 86-85!

After the opening wave of 2 to 6 in the final quarter, the Timberwolves scored 20 to 18, a small victory over the Trail Blazers!
However, after returning from a timeout, Liu Xiu relied on Ray Allen and Blake's three-pointer to contain the ball. With McDyess' off-ball pick-and-roll, after receiving Raheem's serve, Liu Xiu took two steps to the right at a 30-degree angle and turned around. A three-point shot hit!

Liu Xiu made two three-pointers before the final quarter, and scored one goal in five three-pointers in the first three quarters, and finally made a buzzer lore!

末节刘秀8投5中，其中三分球3中1，单节11分3助攻，雷-阿伦末节6投4中，其中三分球4中3，单节11分1助攻。

The two played against each other and scored 27 to 22 in the final quarter!
最终，靠着刘秀26投10中，其中三分球8中2，加上13中12的罚球，刘秀拿到34分11板10助攻4抢断的三双数据，加上雷-阿伦的24分5板4助攻，开拓者队以88比86逆转绝杀森林狼队，将战绩提升至5胜2负！
罗伊从半场11投6中拿到18分，到全场17投7中拿到21分，享受了一下人生的大起大落。

The Trail Blazers' style of play is simply challenging Roy's view of basketball!
In the next three quarters, the Trail Blazers ignored everything on the offensive end and tried their best to defend, pointing at Liu Xiu and Ray Allen to score.

Then these two actually scored 58 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists together to win the game!
Look at how many assists these two have, right?Two of Ray Allen's 4 assists were made by Liu Xiu, and 10 of Liu Xiu's 4 assists were made by Ray Allen!
However, the shock of Roy's basketball view has only just begun... because their Timberwolves will play back-to-back games at home and away tonight and tomorrow night, and their opponents are the Trail Blazers in the same division!
