Healing Basketball

Chapter 1045 1045. Become the Object of Challenge

The NFL playoffs have reached the division final stage. Everyone in the United States loves football. The NFL has reached the time of the year with the highest attention.

However, today, even in Texas, where the football enthusiasm is the highest and colleges use the budget increase for the football team as a promotional point of admissions, most sports fans focus on a game in the NBA.

This game is a duel between the Trail Blazers, the league's No. 36 team with 5 wins and 33 losses, and the No. 8 Lakers in the league with [-] wins and [-] losses.

The match between the first and second teams in the NBA alone does not attract such a high degree of attention. After all, it is the regular season.

But the Trail Blazers have won 15 consecutive victories!
The team that has maintained the longest winning streak this season with 16 consecutive victories is the Lakers.

The Trail Blazers have long yelled that they want to surpass the Lakers, and they just played against the Lakers after 15 consecutive victories. This rare scene is naturally attractive.

In addition, the two teams have popular superstars and the team's style of play is also good.

The Lakers currently rank third in the league in points per game, averaging 106.2 points per game, second only to the Warriors averaging 108 points per game and the Trail Blazers averaging 106.6 points per game. The gold team is higher.

The gorgeous triangle offense has reached its peak this season.

For the Trail Blazers, this season's performance is the most amazing!
A team that has just completed the dynasty and has not made major changes to the core lineup can actually give people a sense of surprise, which is itself amazing.

At the beginning, they played a fierce attack that the opponents did not expect, and won 11 consecutive victories.

Later, it was focused on by the opponent. Before the Christmas battle, the record was stumbling, and there was a cycle of winning two games and losing one game, winning three games and losing one game.

But after the adjustments, in the middle of the season, the offensive and defensive ends have made great progress, and there is another wave of 15 consecutive victories!

After the Lakers' 10-game winning streak, the game was overcast, and after the Trail Blazers' 9-game winning streak, they roared to surpass the Lakers, who had won 12 consecutive victories at the time, and also entered the state of overcasting every game.

For tonight's game, almost every major TV station in North America has added this game, and they all feel that if they broadcast it, they will make money.

From the time the programs could be booked, the statistics of the major TV stations have been booming all the way. By the time the media announced the estimated booking data in the evening, it was already close to the single-game ratings record set by the Trail Blazers in the regular season.

In the middle of the season, the number of subscriptions for paid viewing is almost breaking the record. If the time point is changed to the beginning of the season or after the All-Star Weekend, the record will definitely be broken.

With such a high degree of attention, the entire Blazers team is very excited, and they were particularly motivated during the pre-match meeting this morning.

Liu Xiu is also very excited, but when he reads the news, he always finds some strange points to pay attention to...

Some economists jumped out to catch the heat—this is a phenomenon of the lipstick economy. Buying tickets for the four major league games is a relatively extravagant thing. Watching live broadcasts is also linked to "luxury". In the booming stage, many people regard watching NFL, NBA and other games as "luxury consumption" to satisfy their psychological needs.

This Liu Xiu thinks it makes sense. Since 06, he asked his aunt and Anne-Hathaway to invest in some big brands with independent lipstick brands. Since 07, when the stock prices of other industries plummeted, the sales of those lipstick brands soared. The stock price rise is also gratifying. Although the size is limited, their family also makes a small profit from this.

Domestically, the heat is even higher!It's even hotter than the Christmas game between the Trail Blazers and Pistons... It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the ratings of the game during the Chinese New Year will be quite bad, but after the time of visiting relatives before the New Year and the Spring Festival has passed , when the student party is still on vacation, the ratings of the competition will be quite good.

It's a pity for Liu Xiu, the family is preparing for the New Year, and the Los Angeles couple didn't come this time, otherwise the family will definitely have a good time in this lively scene.

But it is also a good thing to have a more New Year's Eve.

At 7:40 p.m., after warming up, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the stadium at Staples Center, and they were greeted by the wildest boos from the fans.

At this stage, the hostility of Lakers fans towards the Trail Blazers has surpassed that of the Celtics.

In the past 5 seasons, the two teams have played against each other 4 times in the playoffs, with 2 wins and 2 losses.

Now that the two teams occupy the first and second positions in the league, Lakers fans feel that they will definitely meet the Trail Blazers again in the playoffs.

They think they can definitely win!

The essence of human beings are double-standard monsters. When it comes to other stars and other teams, if they win the overall runner-up, No.2 will be the biggest loser.

His own team won the overall runner-up, which is already very good, and it is only one step away from the championship.

In addition to this, Lakers fans have one more thing they are very confident in - the warden has been in the NBA for 5 years, and only they have defeated the warden in the playoffs.

When it was the turn of the home team, the Lakers, the boos of the fans turned into cheers, and Liu Xiu focused on the opponent's latest team report and player detection report.

"Los Angeles Lakers, 33 wins and 8 losses, averaging 106.2 points per game, conceding 98.1 points per game, shooting 48.5% from the field, limiting opponents to 44.7% from the field..."

场均29+的大神、场均15+11的小胖、场均18+9的大卫西、场均10+8+3+1+1的左魔、场均10+6+4的大郅。

这几人该是真的很搭，不过刘秀完全不虚，他这边，也有场均18+3+2的三分王、场均17+11的屠夫、场均8+8+2+1+3的水货状元、场均12+5+1+1+1的法外狂徒！
Opposite role players include Old Fish next door, Tiezha, Frye, Joe Smith, Farmar, Luke Wharton, Vujacic...

They also have Hill, Korver, Diaw, Gasol Jr., Birdman...

Liu Xiu's evaluation to the opponent - dynasty-level strength.

He has a higher opinion of his own team!
After the two teams entered the arena, Liu Xiu and Kobe came to the daily exchange before the game. Liu Xiu gained a wave of healing points and returned to the bench contentedly.

Kobe gritted his teeth again and turned on the mode of hindsight—if I had said this and that, and that and that and that and that and that and that, just now...it would be fine.

At 7:58, the referee informed the two teams to start.

Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen's full blood 'quick shot', Kobe's 'physical gallop' and 'reasonable'.

"Sharp Shooter" is temporarily turned on, "Splash" is bound to Ray Allen, and the selected equipment is "Answer's Armguard", "Peter Pan's Leggings", and "Big Black Bear's Ankle Pad".

Finally, I can bind the three-pointer again. Binding Korver in the previous games is really not so easy.

Korver only looks at three-pointers, which is not weaker than Ray Allen, but Korver can only catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.

And the talent 'Quick Shot' is really easy to use. The simplest but most direct addition is to make the shot faster.

He feels that he is a bit too dependent on this talent. Ray Allen will eventually retire, and he may still be at his peak at that time, and Ray Allen continues to age, and the talent copied in the future may also change.

You have to find a way to improve your shooting speed.

Originally, this was something he wanted to do a long time ago, but he didn't expect Ray Allen to be his teammate after a phone call. This plan was temporarily suspended and he devoted his time to other aspects of improvement.

Now it can be put back into the training schedule. He thinks that shooting speed should also be considered as part of the basic shooting skills. When the effect of pure shooting basic skills training slows down, you can try this.

Just when Liu Xiu rubbed the chalk and came to the free throw line, the system prompt came!

"The Overlord has become a new flag for the point guard position, and is setting a new benchmark for the point guard position in contemporary basketball. Challengers will also appear in an endless stream... The series of missions of the Lord of the Age: Challenger triggers."

"Challenger:
Task object: Deron Williams.

Goal 1: The host needs to get at least 20 points + 10 assists tonight, or limit Deron Williams' scoring and assists to below the season average.

Goal 2: The host needs to have an advantage in the regular season against Deron Williams this season.

Bonus: Rhythm Fluid Forward Change (Deron Williams Edition) top-notch training method. "

Good reward!
After Liu Xiu broke through to the top, he was worried about which direction to adjust. He had learned almost everything he could learn from Kobe and Nash. Now there are new training methods to learn from!

It's just that the name of this change of direction... Xiaopang's breakthrough seems to have been influenced by the Great God.

I don't know if this will make it easier for him to learn, or it will be useless after learning.

Who cares, take it first and then talk!No matter how bad it is, you can learn more about Xiaopang's breakthrough, and there are more things to refer to on the defensive end.

...

The two teams came to the field starting, the Lakers sent Deron, Kobe, Ariza, David West, Wang Zhizhi; the Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame -Brown.

Kobe seriously suspected that the other party had Randolph and Ray Allendo take a rest because they wanted to play against them.

If Maurice Cheeks knew that Kobe was guessing this way, he would take the initiative to give him an affirmative answer.

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

Kwame Brown beat Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers went first.

Liu Xiu received the ball and dribbled it out in two steps. Hill received the ball from outside the three-point line and passed it again. Randolph cut in to receive the ball.
I'm coming!Every time Kobe played against the Trail Blazers, the most annoying feeling came-the fat man on the opposite side, and he would not be affected by too long a rest after returning from injury!

The warden didn't know that the master beat them so hard every time, and the reason was mostly due to the characteristic of the butcher.

In fact, it has an impact. If he rests for several games in a row, Randolph will reduce his mid-range and long-range shots at first, and his touch will definitely be affected, but the inside offense is really not affected much.

Randolph's goal announced the attitude of the Trail Blazers tonight - attack!

The defensive end also tried its best to prepare, but the game is to play offense.

In the regular season and the Lakers' defense, unless the defense reaches the level of the Bulls, Raptors, and Pistons, otherwise the defense will be miserable.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, the Lakers also played a fast-paced offense. Deron and West picked and rolled the offense and passed back to Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi made another pass. After West broke apart, he helped Kobe block Ray Allen. Facing Liu Xiu's defense, he leaned back and made a two-pointer!

Liu Xiu praised David West and went directly to the flank pick-and-roll after the pick-and-roll, which avoided the awkward situation of not being able to cut him after the pick-and-roll.

Kobe praised Liu Xiu's defensive progress in the past half season. Liu Xiu's defensive confrontation is still fierce, but the application of confrontation is much smarter than in the opening game. If Liu Xiu pressed the ball on him just now, he would not be able to reach it. It is also possible to be called a foul, but Liu Xiu chose not to press up, and directly took off vertically after changing defenses to interfere with shooting by bouncing.

If it wasn't for his good enough fadeaway jumper, the ball would have been interfered by Liu Xiu.

In the first round of the opening round, both teams confirmed it, and they couldn't prevent it!

Both Liu Xiu and Delong gestured towards their teammates - attack with all their might!
Hill made a long two-pointer, and Wang Zhizhi responded with a hook shot from the bottom line; Shrinking the defense to score the ball, Wang Zhizhi cut to catch the ball and scored two points for a layup; Ray Allen caught the ball and turned around and hit a three-pointer.

The two teams directly started a fierce confrontation mode. The Lakers are in amazing condition. The crazy performance of 16 consecutive victories is not for nothing. It will not be worse than the strongest time in the middle of the 16-game winning streak.

For the Trail Blazers, apart from Randolph's inside offensive state that is not affected by too long a rest, they also have a player with a similar ability-Ray Allen's three-pointers are not affected by too long a rest!

The strongest offensive aspects of these two can make contributions immediately after their comeback, and the Blazers' offensive state is also full!
The entire Staples Center was in a constant state of carnival.

At this time, the Lakers fans don't care how fierce the Blazers' offense is, they can play the same... no, they think they can play a more violent offense!
The brutal record of 18 wins and 17 loss in the past 1 games gave them confidence!
At 11 minutes and 55 seconds into the game, Korver missed a three-pointer. Kwame Brown grabbed a rebound that bounced far from the right side of the three-second zone. He turned around and found Liu Xiu and passed it. The shot was made, and with the long whistle at the end of the first quarter, the ball rubbed against the inside of the basket and fell into the basket!

科比12分3助攻、德隆2分5助攻、韦斯特7分1板1助攻、奥多姆6分、王治郅6分、阿里扎和法玛尔各2分……

刘秀11分、雷-阿伦8分、兰多夫6分、夸梅-布朗5分2板2助攻、法外狂徒3分、希尔和迪奥各2分……

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers tied the Lakers 37-37 with Liu Xiu's mid-range shot at the buzzer, ending the first quarter!

Kobe played very well, and Deron did a good job organizing the offense, but the latter was both cool and painful.

The warden, as well as the parallel import champion, Birdman, Hill, and outlaw lunatics who switched to him on the opposite side... all seem to have a grudge against him, just not letting him score!His two points were still won by foul free throws!
