Healing Basketball

Chapter 927 927. Running on the Triple-Double List (Happy New Year)

The Trail Blazers had long been prepared for the Jazz's offensive firepower, but they were still overwhelmed by the opponent in the first quarter.

保罗5分2板2助攻、布泽尔8分、钱德勒6分、替补登场的斯泽比亚克5分……爵士队首节以29比26领先开拓者队3分！
The Jazz played well offensively. Although the defense was not as good as last season, it was still passable.

It's related to mentality. The Jazz regard the Trail Blazers as an opponent that must be surpassed, and they are obsessed with it.

But in the eyes of Liu Xiu and others, the Jazz is just an ordinary opponent.

As far as Liu Xiu is concerned, he doesn't think that Paul can reach the Western Conference Finals with this group of people.

Gotta give him a super-scoring point guard, and if he goes to the Lakers with that guy...

Now he just values ​​Paul, not as much as Paul and the Jazz.

Relying on well-prepared defense, the Jazz defended quite well in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers began to gain the upper hand!
最近状态喜人的雷-阿伦在3分22秒上场，不到9分钟时间，4投4中，其中三分球2中2，加上2中2的罚球，拿到12分1板1助攻！

刘秀单节6分2板4助攻，率领开拓者队打出了29比27的单节比分，将分差追到只剩1分！
But Paul is not a vegetarian!

眼瞅着局势要被刘秀和雷-阿伦扳回去，中场休息回来后，保罗在第三节单节拿到5分1板7助攻，帮助布泽尔拿到11分、马特-哈普林拿到5分、卡波诺投进俩三分球、基里连科一个2+1……

The Jazz scored 30 points in a single quarter!
The Trail Blazers also performed well in the third quarter. Liu Xiu scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to 27 points in a single quarter, but not as good as the Jazz.

After three quarters, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 86 points 82 to 4!
But in the critical fourth quarter, the Jazz collectively lost the chain.

A common problem with teams led by 'nanny players'!

前三节拿到21分6板13助攻的保罗，末节4投1中只拿到3分1板2助攻。

Affected by this, the Jazz only scored 23 points in the final quarter.

另一边，刘秀末节4投2中，外加6中5的罚球，单节9分4板4助攻2抢断，

帮助雷-阿伦拿到9分、夸梅-布朗7分、科沃尔3分、法外狂徒5分、兰多夫2分。

The Trail Blazers scored 35 points in the final quarter and beat the Jazz by 12 points in a single quarter!
刘秀打了44分钟，拿到35分10板16助攻4抢断1盖帽，率领开拓者队以117比109逆转爵士队！
...

4 consecutive triple-doubles, 5 consecutive victories!

Originally, people were only talking about Liu Xiu's statistics, and the record was covered up.

But the Trail Blazers played a wave of 5 consecutive victories, which gave people a completely different feeling!

Last month, there was always the saying 'The Jails lost, but the Warden didn't lose'. Now, the Warden won, and so did the Blazers!

On the second day, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland and rested for an afternoon. At 8 pm, they ushered in back-to-back games with the Jazz at home and away.

In the first quarter, the two teams tied 28-28. In the second quarter, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 26 point 25-1.

Based on last night's game, the two teams have a clearer understanding of the opponent's current strength, style of play, and state. Both offensive and defensive ends are more aware of the opponent's style of play, and they play equally.

But in the third quarter, after the Trail Blazers set off a star confrontation, the performance of the trio of Paul, Kirilenko, and Boozer was far inferior to that of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and Randolph. The attacking ability of the latter is much stronger than the former!
单节27比20，三节打完，开拓者队以80比74领先爵士队6分！
In the last quarter, the performance of the Jazz improved. Boozer scored 15 points in a single quarter and led the Jazz to 27 points in a single quarter.

But for the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 9 points in a single quarter, and the extrajudicial lunatic who came off the bench cut to close-range catches and scored 11 points in a single quarter. Got 29 points!
Paul performed very well tonight, scoring 19 points, 7 rebounds, 21 assists and 5 steal and block on 10 of 1 shots, helping Boozer to score 35 points, but Paul's key ball shooting percentage is not low, but he also has a tendency to be "selfless at critical moments" , there are really not many votes at the critical moment...

但刘秀拿到29分12板10助攻、雷-阿伦20分、兰多夫14分、法外狂徒21分……开拓者队4人得分上双，以109比101再胜爵士队！
...

Liu Xiu has 5 consecutive triple-doubles, the Blazers have won 6 consecutive victories, and their record has improved to 15 wins and 7 losses!
We're approaching the middle of the season, and the Trail Blazers are once again phenomenal favorites!
The most panicked is James, who averaged 30.8 points per game and ranked first in the scoring list.

It's okay not to be at the top of the scoring list, even if he stays for a day or two and then gets knocked down, in that case, he will be happy to be at the top of the scoring list.

But now I have been here for a quarter of a season, and suddenly someone is about to catch up, how can I bear it?

The top of the East and West list is also a bit panicked!
The warden is coming again?
They were relieved after watching the live broadcast of the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers only performed well at critical moments. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are both god-level key players.

In regular time, the Trail Blazers are like that. The overall performance of the Jazz in regular time is obviously better than that of the Trail Blazers.

Moreover, Ray Allen and the outlaws are in excellent form recently. Hill mentioned that Ray Allen has benefited the most from the starting lineup. Well, the extrajudicial lunatics go to the bench, and they have a clear advantage against the backup striker, and the opponents are not prepared enough...

The Trail Blazers took a day off back to back, and on December 12th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home.

After 2 hours and 25 minutes of competition, at 10:25 p.m., the two teams decided the winner.

刘秀17投9中，其中三分球5中3，外加10中10的罚球，拿到31分15板11助攻3抢断3盖帽，力压拿到23分8板11助攻的巴郎-戴维斯！
105 to 95, the Trail Blazers beat the Warriors at home!
...

The Bulls and Spurs didn't particularly care about the Blazers' performance.

In their view, the Trail Blazers have been winning streak only because they are in good condition + changed their style of play and their opponents are not used to it + key ball ability.

There is no problem with their analysis. When the Trail Blazers opened the team meeting, the coaching staff also said the same.

But fans will not analyze this, most fans only look at the results.

The result they saw was that the Trail Blazers had won 7 consecutive victories!Tied the Bulls' longest winning streak of the season with 7 consecutive victories!
What is even more eye-catching is that Liu Xiu got a triple-double in 6 consecutive games!
On the list of consecutive triple-doubles, Liu Xiu ranked third in history!
Only Wilt Chamberlain's 9 consecutive triple-doubles, Jordan tied for second and Big 0's 7 consecutive triple-doubles ranked ahead of Liu Xiu!
