Healing Basketball Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Chapter 860. No sprint at the end of the season

Second in the Western Conference, fourth in the league!

This record, Liu Xiu wants to stabilize.

The Spurs, which have already won 60 games, have no chance of surpassing. Even if the Spurs lose all 8 games left, it is still difficult to surpass.

But the second place in the West, Liu Xiu wants to hold on.

Try to get as good a record as possible, and launch an impact for that goal...

After playing the Jazz, the Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the Lakers also went to play consecutive away games. Mrs. Va stayed at home alone with the baby, and it was not appropriate for Liu Xiu to eat or teach female apprentices to play basketball. It was mainly to show off If you can't score 95 points, you can only let it go.

Two days of rest. After playing a game, it is another two days of rest.

Because the 5th is the game day of the NCAA basketball championship finals, the NBA suspended the game for one day to make way for it.

The Florida Gators, with Noah, Horford, Corey Brewer, and Taurin Green staying on the team, crushed Ohio State University and won two consecutive championships.

It was Corey Brewer who won the MOP in the semi-finals this time... Liu Xiu felt that this game was not so good compared to last year.

This four-person group is too strong. In the finals, Noah and Horford both consciously passed the ball to Corey Brewer, and it felt like they were building momentum for Brewer's draft...

Brewer is naturally a very strong presence in the university, the top striker.

But it is said that Brewer can **** the MOP from Horford and Noah... different people have different opinions, anyway, after this game, Brewer's draft predictions soared to the top five level.

Liu Xiu thought that there would be no such good things in another two years. By that time, if she had to go to college for an extra year, her selection would drop a lot.

At 8 pm on April 6, the Trail Blazers came to the Staples Center to challenge the Clippers away.

Liu Xiu played 38 minutes and made 13 of 23 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Ray Allen and Randolph both scored 17 points , The Trail Blazers easily defeated the Clippers 106-89, raising their record to 56 wins and 19 losses!

Liu Xiu also scored the 29th time of 40+ in a single game this season, surpassing Rick Barry, and the number of 40+ in a single game in a single season came to the fourth in history!

The top three, the third is Kobe Bryant's 33 times last season, the second is Jordan's 37 times in the 86-87 season, and the first is Chamberlain's 63 times in the 61-62 season.

Jordan couldn't do it anymore, and Kobe's, Liu Xiu still wanted to do it...but was soon woken up by reality.

The No. 8 Trail Blazers returned home to face the Supersonics, and the Supersonics defended Liu Xiu as if he had killed his father and enemy.

The threat of 95 points is terrible!

Old Nelson and Sloan were able to hold the field, and the Clippers saw that Liu Xiu didn't go well in those two games, so they relaxed their attack on Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu got 40+.

The Sonics, which is the bottom of the scary league, was so frightened that they were the bottom one, and they were given 70 or 80 points by the opponent, so they didn't do it.

In this game, Liu Xiu encountered a higher standard of defensive treatment than the frightened Mavericks and Raptors.

Liu Xiu scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists and 3 steals on 4 of 16 shots, leading the Trail Blazers to a 129-98 slaughter against the Sonics, improving their record to 57 wins and 19 losses!

With 7 triple-doubles, Liu Xiu surpassed his 6 triple-doubles in the second grade. This season is not the season with the lowest triple-double in his career.

But only scored 12 points, setting a new season low in personal scoring, and finally got 40+ to return to an average of 37+ per game, and now it has dropped to an average of 36.9 points per game.

However, Liu Xiu was not worried about being robbed of the scoring champion. After Kobe lost the duel, when Deron came back, he did not make any adjustments in the game, seamlessly switched back to team play, and returned the ball to Deron.

For Kobe, showing his attitude to the top insiders is more important than ball possession and scoring.

After losing to Liu Xiu, he became more determined in this regard.

As for scoring champion, he thinks it is enough to get it once, it is not a necessity.

After 4 games of state tests and tactical adjustment experiments, the Trail Blazers entered the stage of tactical polishing and strengthening before the start of the playoffs.

Morris Cheeks really doesn't care about the record... mainly because he has won 57 games.

The Nuggets had a fight and lost the chance to hit the first place in the division, while the Jazz suffered a wave of injuries.

The Trail Blazers have already locked in the first place in the division and the top four in the West. With 70 wins, he doesn't care how many times he enters the playoffs. He only needs to have the home court advantage in the first round and make more preparations for the playoffs. is the most important.

Players... Mainly, Randolph and Ray Allen recovered their status later than expected. After testing their status, there are not many games left, so we must hurry up.

This is bound to affect the record sprint in the final stage of the season, but all members of the Trail Blazers support the coach's decision.

This may affect their 60 wins, but there is no way. After discussing with Randolph and the extrajudicial fanatics, Liu Xiu felt that in the case of polishing tactics, they should work hard and try their best to play well. up.

On April 10, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Lakers at home.

Relying on Kobe's 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Deron's 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Wang Zhizhi's 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Odom's 14 points and 11 rebounds, Derek Anderson's 12 points, Rademar's Norwich 19 points...The Lakers avoided being swept by the Blazers with a 116-108 win over the Blazers.

Liu Xiu scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Ray Allen 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Randolph 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Randolph started to train himself until his muscles were tense and he was forced to suspend the game. It was really not for nothing. He lost his weight to 119 kg, and he began to look like a big killer again.

Ray Allen also has the feeling of last season. He is not as sharp-edged as he was in the early season of the season, but the more calm and three-headed feeling that the Trail Blazers need more now.

But tonight's tactical adjustment was in the wrong direction, and it suffered a tragic defeat.

On April 12, the Trail Blazers came to Minneapolis to challenge the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves currently have 32 wins and are expected to hit 35 wins. For a team that was last in the league last season, this year's progress is huge.

Tonight Roy made 9 of 20 shots and scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was impressive.

Rookie of the Year is definitely gone.

This game was really intense. After the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers, they were more determined to polish their tactics, and they had already lost their 20th game.

Fortunately, there is a big gap between the strengths of the two teams, relying on Liu Xiu's 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, Ray Allen's 15 points and 8 assists, Randolph's 21 points, Raheem's 17 points, and Flying Squirrel's 11 points …The Blazers improved to 58-20 with a narrow 104-99 win over the Timberwolves!

On the 14th, the Trail Blazers returned to their home court to usher in their fourth matchup with the Spurs this season.

Liu Xiu scored 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Blake scored 7 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists. In a defense-based duel, the two attacked after sorting out, leading the team to 104 points.

But for the Spurs, Duncan scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Parker scored 20 points and 5 assists, Ginobili 25 points and 3 assists, Udrih 6 points and 10 assists... The Spurs beat the Trail Blazers 109-104!

The Spurs won all four matches in the regular season, and Duncan let out a bad breath.

Lost to the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals in the past two years, and now finally regained some confidence.

For Liu Xiu, the regular season was swept by a team, annoyed and fresh...

On the 16th, the Trail Blazers ushered in the final battle with the Eastern Conference team this season. The final opponent is the Bulls!

The Bulls have unlimited potential. After joining Garnett, they are regarded as favorites by the league. From the schedule, it can be seen that the league prefers the Bulls or the Heat to the finals, rather than the Pistons, Pacers, The Nets and their like.

After the start of the game, the two teams directly started the defensive battle mode!

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Bulls 16-12. In the second quarter, the Bulls returned a wave of 15-11. After halftime, the two teams tied at 27!

This made the commentators of the major TV stations miserable, and the game was so ugly... Fortunately, the ratings of the two teams' games were very high, and if it was ugly, they would torture the commentators and waste their hair. They need to find a way How well the two teams played...

Actually played well, but ugly!

At this time, the Barkley thief has an advantage, and there is no need to worry about excessive brain loss.

After a few days of adjustments for the Trail Blazers, Maurice Cheeks has gradually figured out how they are going to play in the playoffs.

The adjustment speed is faster than expected. After all, the lineup is not bad compared with last year's playoffs. Although the players' play style and ability have changed, but after one season, the coaching staff has already become familiar with the players, and the adjustment is really fast.

When they played against the Spurs, they actually stopped experimenting with tactics one by one, and let go of the game, but they didn't play well, and some details were not as stable as the Spurs.

But with the tactical adjustments on the offensive end, they have gradually regained the feeling of last year.

In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers showed their advantage in this aspect!

Relying on Randolph's 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, as well as his stable defense, the Trail Blazers beat the Bulls 23-18 in the third quarter and gained a 5-point lead!

At the end of the quarter, the Bulls restricted the Trail Blazers again, preventing the Trail Blazers from scoring only 19 points, but although their own offensive end improved, it was not great, and only scored 20 points.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 1 block, Randolph's 18 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists, and Ray Allen's 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists... the Trail Blazers beat the Bulls 69-65 Team, avenged the last away loss!

Revenge Bulls, very cool, has been swept by a No. 21, and the Trail Blazers players don't want to be swept by the second No. 21.

But this game was badly hurt by winning the game... I can't say it, but the next day they played against the Kings back-to-back at home. The Trail Blazers were exhausted and played well offensively. But the defense failed.

111 to 104, the Kings beat the Trail Blazers away, giving the Trail Blazers their 22nd loss of the season!

It's fine if you lose the game, but Liu Xiu received a system prompt after the game… Two missions!

"...Dynasty Road series of tasks: a beautiful ending trigger."

"...Light and Darkness series missions: trigger against the wind."
