  Chapter 1079 Chapter 1079. The most anticipated game

  A few months ago, when Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian looked at Mengjiu insiders Odom, Chandler, and Love, they had such eyes.

   I didn't expect it to be my turn to be seen like this!

   McGrady was annoyed, now that his teammates are so strong, this guy still looks down on them.

   Felton was angry when he saw Liu Xiu, and now he is even more annoyed.

   Little Overlord wants to prove that he can leave Nash. The Trail Blazers are the most suitable opponents in his mind to prove himself.

  Pierce was originally one of the few people in the league who were most hostile to Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu's behavior, adrenaline surged.

  The Knicks stars are excited!

But this opponent, for Liu Xiu, is always very different... "Madison Conqueror (Buff): Triggered when the host challenges the Knicks in an away game at Madison Square Garden, the host must be in the best condition, and the first shot must be at Feeling hot."

   Whenever he comes here, Liu Xiu can release all his abilities! Don't worry about the state. Whatever you do, you can do the best you can. Explosions are also very common.

  The big three of Timai, Truth, and Xiaobawang led the Knicks to start a crazy offensive.

  The Knicks chose a normal defense against Liu Xiu.

  As the pride of a strong team, they can't be ashamed to attack infinitely like they did in the past two years.

   On the Trail Blazers side, Anthony and Bosh joined, Liu Xiu can't be as fast as before, can he?

   And they are confident that they can play better than the Trail Blazers.

For the Trail Blazers, seeing his touch, his teammates tried their best to help him create shooting opportunities. Ray Allen and Bosh held back, Anthony rushed, Gasol responded...and then...Liu Xiu threw wildly all over the court 38 times! Scored 21 goals!

   Made 21 of 38 shots, including 8 of 11 three-pointers, plus 20 of 20 free throws. Liu Xiu played 44 minutes and scored 70 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

  In addition to his 70 points, there are Anthony's 11 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists, Ray Allen's 17 points and 7 assists, Gasol's 7 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, Bosh's 11 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists...

  The Trail Blazers won the game against the Knicks 130-120!

   Xiaobawang scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, McGrady 16 points and 10 assists, Pierce 18 points, Wang Zhizhi 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Wilson Chandler who came off the bench scored 17 points...all became the background!

   Shaquille O'Neal, who came off the bench tonight and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in 18 minutes, opened his mouth in an O shape.

too exaggerated! Powerful to the extreme!

   O'Neill really thinks that Liu Xiu is the strongest outside player he has ever seen, not one of them, even the man he has partnered with and the **** he has played against in the playoffs!

  …

   Liu Xiu scored 70 points in the opening game and beat the Big Three of the Knicks in an away game, successfully attracting people's attention.

   This reduced the pressure on KING, who lost to the little giant at home.

  The Pistons defeated the Heat 92-88 in the opening game. Billups, Courtney Lee, Prince, Marion, Yao Ming, the defense of this starting lineup made James and Wade blow up.

   James scored 30 points on 10 of 26 shots and Wade scored 16 points on 5 of 17 shots.

   Milicic, now a pitcher, scored 16 points on 6 of 15 shots.

  After the heat team finished the game, they were criticized by netizens. Fortunately, at this time, the warden scored 70 points and attracted the attention away...

  However, as soon as James arrived at the Heat, Wade became a supporting role, "the league's number one center" Milicic became a pitcher, and James was sprayed.

  For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 70 points in the first game. Although he was praised for being great, he also encountered doubts—Anthony and Bosh came to be blue-collar and wing pitchers?

   Soon, on November 1st, Liu Xiu dispelled people's doubts.

  The Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles, challenged the Clippers away, and led the team to bully a small team.

Liu Xiu scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 9 of 15 shots. Anthony had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Gasol Jr. had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists... Six players from the Trail Blazers scored in double figures, beating the Clippers 108-88!

   After the game, Liu Xiu gave the 2009 No. 1 pick Griffin a nickname—Tyrannosaurus rex.

  By the way, he teased that this year's No. 1 pick is the most unlucky No. 1 pick. Just after the start of the season, it is certain that he will not get the best rookie.

Griffin is also one of the bright spots at the beginning of the season. He played against the Nuggets in the first game. Facing the super three towers of Kwame Brown, Nene, and Kenyon Martin, he really can't do anything, and he can't defend against it. Can't play singles.

   But he is good at eating cakes!

   10 of 18 shots in a single game, 10 goals scored, 7 of which were dunks, 5 of which were lobs from Baron Davis!

  Playing against the Trail Blazers tonight is the same. Let Griffin face Gasol to protect the three-second zone. He can't do something, but he still scored 20 points and all kinds of lobs.

   For this, Liu Xiu had long been mentally prepared, but his teammates were shocked.

  For Griffin, Liu Xiu had a new understanding when he first played against him—Griffin's style of play does not hurt the body.

  Eating cakes, jumping and dunking, rushing and sprinting, this style of play really doesn't hurt the body, just look at Turtle and Jordan.

   Griffin became a glass man in the middle and late stages. Liu Xiu guessed that it was because the Clippers let him transform and develop technology.

  It's right to develop skills, but let Griffin's physique develop small forward skills.

  It would be fine if they developed simple and practical techniques like James and Josh Smith. However, when Griffin developed striker techniques, he seemed to be playing like Rose, with various crotch dribbles and breakthroughs...

  In fact, from the fact that Griffin has suffered so many serious injuries, and he can still play for more than ten years in the end, it can be seen that this guy is actually resistant to grass.

   On the 2nd, the Trail Blazers returned to the home court to meet the challenge of the Suns back to back, winning 112 to 106.

   Liu Xiu felt sorry for Nash.

  From the 2006-07 season to last season, a total of 4 seasons, Nash has the opportunity to lead the team to win the championship.

  But 4 seasons, two years were wasted by Steve Kerr!

   Now, the Suns led by Nash have nothing to do with the championship.

   Judging from the loss of players, the Suns only lost one player, the bully.

   But the strength has dropped directly from the championship level to outside the playoffs.

  Nash is still very strong, and his personal performance is not inferior to last season.

  The Suns offense is still very good, top in the league.

   But they have no ability to score more points than their opponents.

In this game, Liu Xiu played 33 minutes and scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. In addition to his performance in the last game against the Clippers, he scored 70 points in the opening game. After the media hyped controversy , it looks so ridiculous at this time.

   Winning is the best way to adapt to each other. Although Dong Ge is mentally prepared for the decline in statistics, he is also taking the initiative to transform into a "puzzle" role, but after playing like that in the preseason, his heart is somewhat lacking.

   But once you start winning, it's not a problem.

   Playing with Liu Xiu, I was already happy.

  Winning, more fun!

  It’s so cool to play happily and still win!

   Moreover, he was not the only one who sacrificed. Bosh was the one who sacrificed the most, and he was the top five tactically.

  Ray Allen played beside Liu Xiu for a few years, and he has basically become a pure pitcher. He only has assists occasionally, and he rarely holds the ball.

   A player as talented as Gasol Jr. also gave up developing in the low post and took the initiative to go to the high post and mid-range to free up space in the three-second zone.

  Even Liu Xiu, after the opening game, reduced his playing time to less than 35 minutes. If not necessary, he only took fourteen or five shots. This number of shots was a little lower than his rookie season.

   The happiest person is not Gasol, who finally got the core position of the frontcourt tactics, but Dragic.

   Finally have a stable playing time! It's not easy! (_)

  After alternating back-to-back away and home games, the Trail Blazers came to Chicago and defeated the Bulls 110-98.

  The Bulls traded Cunningham from the Trail Blazers, hoping that this striker who showed good defensive talent can make up for the decline in striker strength caused by the loss of Pierce.

   But it is a pity that Cunningham only has the strength of a substitute. He is good enough to defend against the opponent's second team, but he is really not enough to defend against the starters in this era of powerful strikers.

  In addition to losing the starting center, leaving only Garnett alone, the Bulls' defense collapsed!

   Garnett at the peak of the Timberwolves has proved that he can support one of the best defensive systems in the league, but he cannot lead the team to play top defense by himself.

  Garnett, who is now at this age, is even more so.

  He needs the back, he needs the wing defenders.

  Tonight he played the best defensive team-level defense alone, but the Bulls' team defense really collapsed.

   Immediately afterwards, the Trail Blazers came to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers away.

The 76ers are doing okay. The core lineup of Holiday, Iguodala, Gallinari, and Brand has both talent and combat power. The upper limit is like that, hovering in the top ten in the East, with 40 wins With a strength of 45 wins, there is basically no hope for the playoffs.

  Unlucky for them, their last hope was also blocked this summer-Oku was snatched from the Bulls for 43 million dollars in 4 years.

   This is the worst signing of the summer.

  Last season, Okur was excellent. His scoring average ranked third in the Bulls team, higher than Hinrich, second only to Pierce and Garnett in the team. He has good offense, strong defense and positive style of play.

  But who knows that such a skilled player, in the new season at the age of 30, suffered a fall in the opening game, a ruptured cruciate ligament, a sprained waist joint, and was reimbursed for the season. It is hard to say whether he can still play.

  The 76ers have worked so hard to free up tens of thousands of dollars in space, not to mention hitting Okur, and it took tens of thousands of dollars in space every year for 4 years.

For the 76ers, who already have big contracts of Brand and Iguodala, and three talented young players, Gallinari, Holiday, and Thaddeus Young, who need to renew their contracts, Okur's contract is equivalent to Blocked their future.

Liu Xiu played 36 minutes tonight, the most playing time since the opening game. He made 10 of 18 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to 114. Narrowly beat the 76ers by 108, starting with 5 consecutive victories!

   On November 8, the Trail Blazers returned to their home court to start a battle with the Thunder led by Rose and Durant.

   True - Great War!

  Durant, in his 4th year in the NBA, at the age of 22, has truly become a scoring leader.

   And Rose's performance is not inferior to Durant.

  Durant is good at shooting, Rose is good at rushing, and the two cooperate with each other very well.

  Without Bargnani, Durant has more room to move on the outside, and Ibaka has become the top card inside, and he also played more actively and well.

Two veterans at the center position, Nick Collison, and Nazr Mohamed, who was acquired by the Thunder for $13 million in two years, both played an average of 20 minutes per game. The average of 6 points and 4 rebounds per game, the latter 7 points and 6 rebounds, requires strength, experience and experience, and is full of charisma, becoming the leader of the remaining Thunder Four.

  The Thunder team is ready to rise, the players are in place, and the league is also promoting it... 4 wins and 1 loss in the start, and even defeated the Spurs in an upset, the Thunder team has really risen!

Tonight, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder played very fiercely. There were back and forth throughout the whole process. Finally, relying on Ray Allen's key three-pointer, they overtook the Thunder by 1 point 117 to 116. The Thunder made the last two attacks. Duran Te missed a three-pointer.

  In the end, Ibaka grabbed an offensive rebound for a layup and was slapped by the shrunken Liu Xiu. The Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Thunder.

   Liu Xiu's performance of 22 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks still puts the pressure on the Thunder's four young masters.

  Ross 24 points and 7 assists, Durant 32 points, Harden 19 points and 9 assists, Ibaka 11 points and 14 rebounds, they have performed very well.

But on the opposite side, in addition to the triple-double Warden, there are Anthony with 29 points, Bosh with 16 points, Ray Allen with 16 points, Gasol with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and the outsider with 13 points. An apprentice, Hill with 11 points... The Thunder's four young masters called him raspy!

   On the 10th, the Trail Blazers beat the visiting Raptors 97-84 at home.

  Under the leadership of Artest, the Raptors successfully suppressed the rhythm of the game, allowing the Trail Blazers, who have averaged 115 points per game since the start, to score less than 100 points for the first time.

   But Artest can only do so much.

His personal performance this season is still at the top level, averaging 23.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. His shooting percentage is 44.3% above the standard, and his three-point shooting percentage is 37.1%. The most 2.2 three-pointers.

  The continuation of his state has exceeded many people's expectations. Many people thought he was going to disappear last season, but they didn't expect him to play more and more skillfully this year.

   But comparing him with Josh Smith, Josh Smith, who seems to have a lot of skills, is far inferior to Artest, who looks like a big and three thick.

Some teams have already regretted spending money in the wrong place in the summer. Judging from the fact that the Raptors have lost Milicic, Marion, and Felton successively, they are absolutely happy to sell Artest for money, and then Badly rebuilt.

   Irving, who just entered his freshman year, looks really fragrant. Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers, the top high school students in the United States, will definitely participate in the draft in 2012...

But now that the money has been spent, there is no way to use the space to eat Artest's big contract raw, and the Raptors are unwilling to take up space for a long contract. The contracts of the stars in the 2002 class are about to expire, including Yao Ming. The gold-absorbing weapon.

  Detroit is bankrupt, yes, but rich people in Detroit have made a lot of money relying on Yao Ming.

  Whether the football market is good or not depends not only on whether the tickets are sold well, but also whether it can bring benefits to the local people who can speak up.

  Detroit is in a bad mood, and the Pistons have become the top teams in the NBA in the market.

  Although the owner of the Raptors has a strange operation, he has ambitions. He wants to win the championship and turn Toronto into a popular city for basketball.

  …

  The Trail Blazers started with 7 consecutive victories and ranked first in the West. In the East, the Pistons started with 6 consecutive victories and also ranked first.

   This situation is quite surprising. It is normal for the Trail Blazers to be first, but many people in the East did not expect the Pistons to be first.

  Operating this kind of thing requires grades to determine success or failure.

  When the Pistons traded and signed before the effect was not obvious, the media evaluated them as cold-blooded and ruthless, abandoning heroes...

   Now that the results have been achieved, the media immediately began to praise their original operations, saying that their player replacement was done well, and the choice was decisive...

  On the South Coast, the Heat's start has been eye-popping.

   The Heat, which played 7 games, started with 3 wins and 4 losses!

  Liu Xiu learned from her old teammate Arroyo that Wade held a player meeting and said that everyone should make necessary sacrifices and play more as a team.

   This sounded like he was blaming his teammates, but Liu Xiu knew that Wade was probably about to sacrifice himself, and maybe the fortune teller had talked to him about something.

  Wade's other aspects, Liu Xiu can't comment, but when it comes to being brainwashed and fooled by Riley, it's really miserable.

   On the 13th, the Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles again and lost 96 to 111 in the away game against the Lakers.

   Odom 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Deron 14 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, Fisher 12 points and 4 assists, Shannon Brown 15 points, Vujacic 17 points...

  Under the guidance of Nate McMillan, the Lakers are soaring tonight!

  The Trail Blazers felt cool. The team made 32 of 91 shots, and it took 3 shots to score 1...

   Bosh made 3 of 9 shots and 2 of 2 free throws tonight. He scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and gave his teammates a knife in the ass.

   But on the 15th, Bosh made 11 of 18 shots in the Trail Blazers vs. Pistons game at home, plus 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 28 points in a single game and led the Trail Blazers to a 100-98 win over the Pistons!

   When Liu Xiu was defended and scored only 19 points, Anthony only scored 13 points, and Ray Allen only scored 10 points, Bosh, as one of the giants, supported the team to score.

Yao Ming protected the frame, Marion supplemented the defense, and Billups, Courtney Lee, and Prince cooperated to defend on the outside. The Pistons' starting defense was beeping. He also seized the opportunity that was the easiest to come up with, cutting in + mid-range shots, and throwing as soon as he should.

   It is 5 rebounds that are a bit embarrassing.

  Liu Xiu didn't expect that the long-necked dragon king would inevitably go to the road of "Bo Yi Ban" when he came to them.

  However, Bosh needs to play fast breaks and shoot from the outside. Liu Xiu and Anthony are both strong in rebounding. Bosh's rebounding decline is not something unacceptable in the team, but they all think it is normal.

The Pistons players who scored in double figures with 5 players tonight were depressed. Yao Ming scored 17 points, Billups 15 points, Prince 10 points, Marion 14 points, and Stuckey 18 points. They almost won. Lost to the softest insider in their perception of the Trail Blazers!

  The Pistons' 7-game winning streak is over!

   With the Pistons' winning streak ending, there are no undefeated teams this season.

   After defeating the Pistons, the Trail Blazers recovered their form.

On the 17th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Thunder 111-98 in an away game. The Thunder were still young. It was the first time for Rand to become a strong team. The players of the Thunder are still in the stage of adapting to the status of a strong team, and it is not time to make effective changes.

   On the 18th, the Trail Blazers challenged the Grizzlies back-to-back away. This is a fierce battle!

  The Grizzlies' style of play has changed a lot this season. Their head coach Joe Geer resorted to a double point guard style of play. Conley and Curry partnered to start.

   How turbulent is Curry's performance this season?

   Since the beginning, he has averaged 3 three-pointers per game, and the number of shots is 7.5 times. With such a high number of shots, he has hit 40% of his shots. In the second grade, he directly topped the three-pointer list.

  Ray Allen's three-point shooting has dropped a lot this season, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game because of fewer shots, and his shooting percentage is 45.3%, second only to Matt Bonner's 46%.

  Liu Xiu's three-point shooting rate has risen, reaching a career high of 43%, but the number of shots has also declined with the declining scoring average, reaching an average of 2.1 three-pointers per game.

  But the Trail Blazers team averaged 10.8 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league, and was the only team that averaged double figures in three-pointers per game.

In the frontcourt, the rookie Paul George showed excellent defensive talent. The Grizzlies team doctor was not as outrageous as the veterinary team. He did not refuse to accept medical advice from other doctors because of face. He actively helped Oden with treatment and helped the trainer The team adjusted the training methods for Oden and corrected his style of play.

  In the past two seasons, Oden has missed more than 20 games because of this, and almost spent the summer in the hospital... It is worth coming back!

  Oden has played 10 games since the start of this season and has not missed a game!

  David West, responsible for the inside offense.

In terms of the bench lineup, OJ-Mayo was sent to the bench. He is not very good as a starter, but he is very good as a substitute. No one cares about his temper. The Grizzlies management ignored him. The management and the coaching staff have long since despaired of his so-called 'talent'. He made futile efforts and could only accept the fact that he was on the bench...he played pretty well.

  Add Sam Young, Tony Allen, Vazquez, Darrell Arthur, et cetera... The Grizzlies have the feel of the Rockets and Hornets of the past few years.

   It really can stir up!

Liu Xiu scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in a single game. At the last moment, he scored two three-pointers. He made 3 of 8 three-pointers and made 5 of 10 three-pointers. He led the team to a 100-98 victory over the Grizzlies, improving the record To 10 wins and 1 loss, becoming the first team to win 10 wins this season.

   On the 20th, the Trail Blazers came to New Orleans to challenge the Hornets in their last three-game away game.

  I thought the Hornets could cause trouble for the Trail Blazers. They started the season quite well, with 8 wins and 3 losses, beating the Timberwolves and the Mavericks to rank third in the West.

  But tonight Aldridge only had 17 points, Horford had 10 points and 12 rebounds, Turtle had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Thornton had 14 points, and the team only scored 87 points.

  The Trail Blazers beat the Hornets 100 to 87 to win.

   Liu Xiu feels that the Hornets are really good people.

  The Trail Blazers had a mediocre start tonight. They just played a back-to-back game, and they were tossed by the Grizzlies in the second game of the back-to-back. The first half of the night was not very good.

   But the Hornets are in worse condition, giving them a chance to adjust the Trail Blazers.

  With a strong lineup, they have completed the adjustment and found their status.

  Relying on the help of the Hornets, on the 22nd, the Trail Blazers, who returned home, narrowly beat the Nuggets 119 to 114 in the scoring battle!

Kwame Brown returned to his old club to play at home without so many negative emotions. He also received applause and cheers from the fans at the scene. 4 championship rings and 1 best defensive player have already marked his basketball career. Traces of the Trail Blazers.

  Kwame Brown also performed very well tonight. In the Nuggets, he has the demeanor of a "head star". He averaged 16.8 points per game, ranking first in the Nuggets team!

The Nuggets are playing as a team this season, and they have a good record. Kwame Brown averaged the most points per game, JR-Smith averaged 15.6 points per game, and second. No one else averaged more than 15 points per game. Scored as high as 107 points, 6 players averaged double figures per game, and second-year point guard Ty Lawson averaged 9.8 points and 8 assists per game.

  Tonight, Kwame Brown counterattacked, ate cakes, and made mid-range shots...all performed very well. He made 8 of 14 shots, plus 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

  However, Dong Ge faced his old club and ran away all the way!

  He was very unhappy with George Karl's comment of "uncoachable". Tonight, he threw 27 times and scored 16 goals, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 16 of 20 free throws. He scored 50 points!

   On the 25th, the Trail Blazers beat the Jazz 113-106 at home, giving Xiaopao a defeat.

Losing Boozer, but signing Bargnani, the actual loss of the Jazz is not very big. DeRozan has improved a lot this season, averaging 15 points per game, and Okafor is averaging double-doubles. The rookie Aminu, a member of the royal family of a certain country, has a good defensive talent...

  In addition, Paul has adjusted his style of play very well this season. Since the 2008-09 season, he has played 14 consecutive games without injury for the first time, and the Jazz have returned to the ranks of the top teams.

  But tonight the Trail Blazers performed better.

  Liu Xiu, who scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists tonight, felt a little regretful about Paul's style of play tonight.

  Xiaopao is still so strong, he decisively adjusted the whole style of play.

  But I can no longer jump and jump, and my style of play is close to the floor flow.

In the summer of 2009, he underwent minimally invasive repairs on his left knee. This summer, he underwent a similar operation on his right knee. Although the treatment effect was very good, it basically destroyed his running and jumping when he dunked Howard, Kwame Brown and Duncan. ability.

On the 27th, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Hornets 97 to 91; on the 29th, the Trail Blazers came to Rutherford Township Aviation Center and defeated the Nets 104 to 98; Defeated the Bucks 90 to 74.

  After the first month of competition, the Trail Blazers temporarily topped the league table with a record of 16 wins and 1 loss!

  The Spurs, including the game at the end of October, played 16 games in the first month of the game, with a record of 14 wins and 2 losses. With such a good record, they can only rank second.

  In the East, the Pistons are first with 14 wins and 3 losses, and the Celtics are second with 13 wins and 3 losses.

  The Heat had a bleak start, but after Wade took the initiative to make concessions, their record began to improve. At present, they have 10 wins and 7 losses, and they have returned to the ranks of the playoff competition.

   On December 1st, the league announced the first award for the best of the month.

  The best rookie of the month, East Wall and West Griffin, there is no suspense.

The 10th overall is average. The Kentucky brothers averaged double figures per game. Wall successfully won the best rookie of the month in the East. Cousins ​​​​was miserable in the West. Griffin played 17 games in the first month and averaged 21 points per game. With 13 rebounds, regardless of how bad the Clippers' record is, this statistic can be said to be strong or not.

  The best coach of the month, this is the number one head coach in the East and West, Philip Sanders and Maurice Cheeks.

  The best player of the month has nothing to do with the number one in the East and West.

   Turkoglu of the Celtics averaged 19 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the first month, leading the team to a record of 13 wins and 3 losses.

  Deron Williams of the Lakers averaged 20.5 points, 4 rebounds and 13.7 assists per game in the first month, leading the team to a record of 10 wins and 6 losses.

   Liu Xiu has averaged 34 minutes per game so far this season. Since his rookie season, his average playing time in a single month is less than 35 minutes for the first time.

   Averaged 23.41 points per game. Since his rookie season, there have been less than 25 points per game in the game month. Counting this time, it is the fifth time.

   And these 23.41 points were achieved by scoring 70 points in the opening game. In the other 16 games, he averaged "only" 20.5 points per game.

  However, there are still 7 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.4 blocks. The average assists per game is the third highest in his career! The steals are a lot less than last season, but he still leads the league. The reason for the decline is that his steals were too crazy last season.

  His performance is actually not bad, but in the current situation of their prison team, he did not win the Player of the Month award, and not many people questioned it.

   Their overall performance was too strong. After 7 consecutive victories, there was another wave of 9 consecutive victories.

   On December 2nd, the Trail Blazers came to Washington, D.C. and defeated the Wizards 108-99. They won 10 consecutive victories and their record came to 17 wins and 1 loss!

  Wall was miserable tonight. He met Liu Xiu and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 3 of 13 shots.

  McGee and Blatche, two players with amazing IQs, performed very well tonight. McGee scored 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Blatche scored 21 points and 8 rebounds. The two scored 40 points together.

  Blatch played face-to-face singles, Liu Xiu reckoned that if Kwame Brown hadn't left, she would definitely show envious eyes.

   Finally, on December 4th, the Trail Blazers lost 95 to 99 in the away game against the Celtics, eating their second loss of the season.

In this game against the Celtics, in addition to feeling the strength of the Celtics' team play, the Trail Blazers also had a small problem-the three major substitutes of outlaws, Dragic, and Birdman. Injured in a fast-paced offensive and defensive game against the Celtics.

   Fortunately, their injuries are not serious, but they still sounded the alarm to the Trail Blazers coaching staff.

  They are walking very fast. With the experience of the past two seasons, whether it is running-in, mentality adjustment, or the development of tacit understanding, this season has been very smooth.

   But because of this, he played too hard.

   There were occasional injuries before. Bosh was still absent when he was playing for the Nets, but he didn't care.

   This time we lost, and when we needed to sum up, Maurice Cheeks made a decision—slow down.

   It's not about giving up the record, but not being so aggressive when arranging the style of play. The players should work hard or work hard, and they should fight or fight. It's just that the coaching staff who control the rhythm must reduce the risk of injury.

  Before, when they played against the Suns, they rushed to attack, and when they played against the Grizzlies, they slowed down and slammed on defense. This actually put a lot of psychological and physical pressure on the players.

   Regardless of their 130 points in the opening game, after playing 19 games, they averaged 106 points per game, ranking sixth in the league after the Nuggets, Knicks, Suns, Spurs, and Timberwolves.

   Their ability to choose different rhythms when facing different opponents is something Maurice Cheeks is proud of.

   But this style of play should be in the playoffs, not now.

  Mustache was shocked when he heard the coach's plan, and it was time for his performance again!

  …

  After playing consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland, ushering in a wave of 3 consecutive games in 4 days and 3 games.

  The style of play changes. On the 7th and 8th, the Trail Blazers faced back-to-back challenges from the Clippers and the Suns at home. The Trail Blazers repelled these two opponents 110-99 and 117-109 respectively.

   On the 10th, the third game in 4 days, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Magic.

  Facing the Magic's tempo-pressing style of play, the Trail Blazers did not choose to keep up, but competed for the rhythm!

   After some tugging, the Magic were forced to run and shoot.

  The Trail Blazers didn’t cooperate and didn’t want to play a slow pace. The Magic couldn’t press the speed, so they had to step up their confrontation.

  In the end, relying on Liu Xiu’s second 40+ in a single game this season, scoring 41 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the Trail Blazers defeated the Magic 108-101 and won 3 consecutive victories!

   Beast performed brilliantly tonight with 39 points and 16 rebounds, but Carter only scored 16 points, and Lewis, who holds the highest salary of the Magic, only scored 11 points. Nelson scored 21 points and 9 assists, becoming Beast's most trusted teammate.

   Obviously, Beast is very unhappy tonight.

  Liu Xiu guessed that the soap opera "Where are the beasts going" was about to be staged. After all, it was the Magic team. They never kept the number one center forward, they were just the production base of the number one center forward.

When the Magic acquired Carter in the trade, Liu Xiu concluded that it would be a matter of time before Beast left the team. Carter and Lewis have two big contracts, the former is 16 million this year, and the latter is 2065 this year. The two of them accounted for more than half of the salary cap. , plus Beast's 17 million, even if other people's contracts expire in place, the Magic will not be able to spare a maximum salary space to grab someone.

   On the 13th, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns 121 to 104 away, won 4 consecutive victories, and improved their record to 21 wins and 2 losses.

   On the 15th, the much-anticipated matchup came—the Trail Blazers challenged the Spurs away!

   At 7:40 p.m., Liu Xiu led his teammates into the court of the ATT Arena.

   Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiu saw the group of old men...

  Duncan, Richard - Jefferson, McDyess, Parker... and Kobe Bryant who played last!

  Liu Xiu was so excited that her whole body was shaking.

coming! The competition with the classic car club is finally here!
