Healing Basketball

Chapter 909. 909. The Temptation of the Sewer
After 3 consecutive away games, they only achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses, which is quite rare for the Trail Blazers in recent years.

Started with 2 wins and 2 losses. After the first week, the Trail Blazers temporarily ranked eighth in the Western Conference.

Fans unanimously felt that the Trail Blazers were in vain for the warden's explosive start performance.

4场比赛下来，刘秀场均28.5分11.25板9助攻3抢断，50.6%的投篮命中率，38.1%的三分命中率。

雷-阿伦这4场比赛场均17.5分2板2.7助攻，兰多夫场均14分7.5板。

However, although the public opinion pointed directly at these two teammates, Liu Xiu could understand the situation.

Ray Allen's positioning this season has become more role player-oriented, which is a change based on the needs of the team.

Randolph's state is not good, and his playing time has been reduced.

The bench lineup did not perform well...Mourning and Raheem were missing on the inside, Momonga was completely pulled out on the outside, Eddie Jones also retired, Reed made rapid progress but only brushed his style of play, and the tailwind was okay, but he started 4 games 3 There is a headwind in the market, and data is useless.

These are understandable.

But there is a strange situation...

This situation did not exist on the bench, but it appeared on the starting lineup.

The desire to grab offensive rebounds is far stronger than to grab defensive rebounds!

There were even times when the twin towers were stuck in place and no one went to take the boards down!

Based on this situation, when playing against the Rockets last night, Liu Xiu was very active in shrinking and grabbing rebounds...and then scored 12 defensive rebounds in a single game.

On the afternoon of the 6th, on the way back to Portland on the 'Rose Bay Prison', the warden found the butcher and had a chat with the parallel importer.

He asked the question directly to his two teammates.

The butcher and the champion of parallel imports said in unison: "I thought he would steal the ball, and I'm helping him get in position."

"Crooked? Why don't you grab it?"

Randolph said: "I'm a player who doesn't care about statistics. It's the same for teammates to block positions and rebounds for teammates."

"Speak human." Liu Xiu rolled his eyes.

"I'm lazy." Randolph briefly summarized what he just said.

Kwame Brown nods beside him.

Liu Xiu was very puzzled: "Shouldn't laziness mean that you don't like getting stuck?"

Randolph asked back: "Who said that? Do you think O'Neal has a lot of rebounds?"

Liu Xiu responded, "It doesn't count, considering his ability, it's too little."

"But is he poorly guarded? Poorly positioned?"

"Hiss... makes sense! But why is Kuri's position so bad?" Liu Xiucai noticed this situation... No, normal people wouldn't think about it.

The champion of parallel imports rushed to answer: "That's because he has a problem with his brain."

Although he felt that the champion of parallel imports was speaking ill of people behind his back, Liu Xiu also felt that the champion of parallel imports was right.

But he still has a question: "Then why do you have so many offensive rebounds? Aren't you lazy?"

Kwame Brown played 4 games, averaging 29 minutes per game, and actually had 3 offensive rebounds. Randolph averaged 27 minutes per game, and his offensive rebounds were as high as 3.5.

You know, in the first 4 games they started, 3 of them encountered opponents with strong insiders.

Randolph picked his nostrils and said, "We are just lazy, and we don't want to lose. If we can't make shots, we must be more active in offensive rebounds."

Kwame Brown said: "And the offensive rebounds are more handsome than the defensive rebounds, and the fans cheer more."

"..." Liu Xiu felt that he had lost!

Suddenly, Liu Xiu came up with a bold idea.

There seemed to be a tortoise shell in front of him, glowing, full of temptation...

...

After 3 consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers got two days off.

Rest the whole day when I come back.

The league announced the best awards for the first week of the new season on this day.

东部，加内特，4胜0负，场均22.75分18板6.5助攻2抢断2.25盖帽；西部，科比，4胜0负，场均26.5分6.5板3.75助攻3.5抢断。

The No. 7 Trail Blazers conducted a one-day training.

For the start of 2 wins and 2 losses, the Trail Blazers management and coaching staff did not blame the players.

This should have been there last season, but it turned out that Liu Xiu rushed to the second place in the Western Conference.

There is no need to put any pressure on the players in the regular season this season. In the case of the West, with the warden, the playoffs will definitely not be a problem.

For training, running-in and adjustments, just do it step by step, and there is no rush at all.

Such an operation will have a consequence-the players' self-blame and self-doubt caused by the loss will fade away and they will not care so much.

In other words, it is pride and aristocratic disease.

But the Trail Blazers coaching staff would rather be like this, and they finally understand why the Lakers didn't correct the situation.

The two-day rest time passed quickly, and on November 11, the fifth game day of the Trail Blazers arrived.

The Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Mavericks at home.

The Trail Blazers are lucky tonight. The Mavericks are in the second back-to-back games. Moreover, the Mavericks' new starting point guard Devin Harris was injured by a criminal in yesterday's game against the Jazz. The Mavericks and the Jazz almost fought... Although there was no fight in the end, Harris broke his arm and will be out for 2-3 weeks.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

The Mavericks' starting lineup has been adjusted, and Harris has not changed since he was injured. He sent Barea, Trenton Hassel, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier to the starting lineup.

Terry and Stackhouse form a double gun!

Terry averaged 16 points per game in the opening season, and Stackhouse averaged 11 points per game. The firepower of the two is even stronger than that of the Blazers Raheem and Momonga!
Avery Johnson is not a stubborn coach, he is happy to absorb nutrients and learn advanced coaching methods from other teams.

The most advanced team must be the Trail Blazers who have just won three consecutive championships.

However, the Trail Blazers failed to feel the effect of the Mavericks' adjustment.

首节开拓者队28比22领先6分、第二节21比18、第三节21比17，三节打完开拓者队以70比57领先小牛队13分，基本锁定胜局。

Relying on Terry's 13 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, the Mavericks finally had a decent quarter scoring game, scoring 25 points in a single quarter, and the Trail Blazers still only scored 21 points in the final quarter... However, the Trail Blazers still beat the Mavericks by 9 point!
刘秀22投9中，其中三分球3中1，外加3中2的罚球，遭遇的防守非常严，但他打了42分钟还是拿到21分13板7助攻1抢断3盖帽！

And led the Trail Blazers to beat the Mavericks 91 to 82, improving the record to 3 wins and 2 losses!
Liu Xiu was very happy when he won the game.

Nowitzki's style of play has improved again. Facing the defense of the outlaws and Hill, Nowitzki scored 13 points on 7 of 20 shots tonight...My friend has improved, and Liu Xiu is also happy.

Of course, the premise is that their Trail Blazers win.

Just, he looked at his data.

Board 13, the sewer went in more smoothly than expected, unimpeded.

But 7 assists!Teammates, get better soon!
His warden doesn't like to hold the ball around for half a day, pass the ball after running out of time, and force his teammates to catch the ball and have to throw it!
