Healing Basketball

Chapter 1053 1053. Why is it still you!
On the evening of the 11th, after dinner, Liu Xiu's family also watched the 23VS24 battle in front of the TV.

The last time the two teams played against each other was the Christmas game. At that time, the Cavaliers failed to cause any special trouble for the Lakers. The Lakers won by 15 points.

This time, the two teams played extremely fiercely. The score was 25 to 27 in the first quarter and 28 to 26 in the second quarter. In the third quarter, the Lakers scored 31 to 25, and the two teams had a clearer score difference. Leading the Cavaliers by 84 points 78 to 6.

In the final quarter, at the most critical moment, the head coach of the Cavaliers resorted to a faint trick-knocking on the defense.

With this operation, the Cavaliers not only lost the strongest feature of their 12-game winning streak-the integration of offense and defense, but the defense was also unable to defend.

As long as Big Ben can still have the defensive dominance of previous years in the final quarter of this season, the Pistons will not sell meritorious players.

The Pistons sold Ben Wallace in order to make the reinforcement conditions better in the next few years as much as possible.

But what makes Joe Dumars so cruel is that Ben Wallace's routine defense is okay, but when he defends at critical moments that require higher strength, he is almost invisible when defending those superstars.

科比末节8投5中，外加2中2的罚球，单节拿到12分，率队拿到25分！
However, the Cavaliers defended and sent Ben Wallace and the twin towers of Big Z to play for most of the quarter. The Cavaliers' offense collapsed and only scored 19 points in a single quarter.

109 to 97, the Lakers double-killed the Cavaliers, improving their record to 55 wins and 10 losses.

The Cavaliers' 12-game winning streak ended, and their record became 48 wins and 17 losses.

詹姆斯19投9中拿到22分9板13助攻，依旧难逃败局。

科比拿到31分3板4助攻1抢断2盖帽、德隆13分4板7助攻、大卫-韦斯特18分11板、奥多姆17分17板4助攻，王治郅6分2板3助攻……今晚费舍尔伤停，孙悦上场了11分钟，拿到3分2板1助攻1盖帽，迎着莫不传投进了一个三分、怒送大Z一个大帽，在刘秀这边算是惊喜了。

Although Sun Yue is quite valued and has been guided by the magician, his playing time is concentrated in garbage time, which means that the Lakers are strong this season and have more garbage time.

To be able to play in regular time, it is only when the old fish next door is injured like tonight, and you have to compete with Farmar to see who is more suitable to play.

Jamison... Liu Xiu thinks it's a pity, not that it's a pity that he sacrificed his comprehensiveness by James' side. To a certain extent, this is also Jamison's own choice. James does have the qualifications to make his teammates give up the All-Star.

Points, rebounds, assists, steals, five major statistics, except blocks, as long as he wants to work hard, he will be the best in the team.

He felt that Jamison was a pity, because players like Jamison were always underestimated in this era, and the Mavericks regarded Nowitzki as a treasure, and Nowitzki would probably be abandoned in another team.

If Jamison entered the NBA in 2008 instead of 1998, it is estimated that he can play for 20 years, 35 and earn tens of millions a year.

In the 00-01 season, when there was no defensive three seconds, Jamison averaged 24.9 points per game.

In the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, the first three quarters were pretty good, but Liu Xiu had no interest in the final quarter. The final quarter only proved one thing-the importance of the head coach to a team.

...

After resting for a day and watching a game with a good overall impression, on March 3, the Trail Blazers continued their regular season journey and ushered in the challenge of the Grizzlies at home.

The last time they played against the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers were tossed by the Grizzlies' defense, but this time the Trail Blazers have experience and have targeted adjustments on the offensive end.

Although the Grizzlies emphasize defense and defend Oden from the defensive end, as a member of the contending team for the No. [-] pick, it is good for them to guarantee a defensive attitude. It is too difficult for them to deal with contingencies.

刘秀打了33分钟，拿到19分5板8助攻2抢断2盖帽，率领开拓者队以106比93轻松击败灰熊队。

Tonight, Randolph made 15 of 8 shots. He slipped the baseline again and again to catch the ball. He turned and made a mid-range shot from beyond the distance of Oden's defense. He scored 22 points and 12 rebounds in a single game. He educated the rookie king .

Oden performed well tonight, with 10 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks.

The best performer was Conley, who scored 21 points. Mayo also performed well tonight, scoring 18 points and 8 assists on 20 of 5 shots.

But Ray Allen made 16 of 10 shots, including 9 of 5 three-pointers. Mayo's defense made Ray Allen's shots more relaxed and enjoyable.

On the second day, the Trail Blazers ushered in back-to-back challenges from the 76ers.

This opponent, the topic that Liu Xiu saw the most this year - taking advantage of him.

According to gossip media reports, the 76ers management regretted giving Iguodala and Brand a five-year contract last summer.

Liu Xiu understands that the 76ers management regrets giving Iguodala a big contract.

Iguodala has played this season so far, and his statistics are basically finalized, with an average of 18+5+5 per game. It can basically be said that he has reached his peak at the age of 25, and his talents have been fully developed.

Iguodala's salary this year is 1219 million US dollars, and the 5-year period is about the first year.

A starting salary of 1200 million is rare in this year. Ordinary teams have at most two, and rich teams only have 3-4.

Iguodala's comprehensive strength is not at the All-Star level, and it basically has nothing to do with him when discussing All-Stars.

He is most praised for his defense, but his defense is not at the defensive level. He is very comprehensive and a good second- and third-level player, but he is not worthy of this contract... After a few years of salary increases, he will get this More is quite reasonable.

Regretting the contract given to Brand, Liu Xiu only felt that she deserved it!
If you have to be a gambling dog, you deserve it. At that time, the Clippers were unwilling to give a big contract, and other teams kept watching. For a whole year, a short power forward with a height of only 29 cm... has a 10-year maximum salary.

What should it be?

Brand came back after the All-Star weekend. Although he is currently in good health, he has suffered serious injuries at this age, his athletic ability has declined, and his explosive power has plummeted. He only averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

Compared with second-year Thaddeus Young, who has averaged 16 points, 6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game so far this season, Brand is not at the level of a maximum-salary player at all.

Although it was back to back, the Trail Blazers played at an excellent level tonight.

刘秀27分8板6助攻4抢断、希尔拿下赛季新高的25分、兰多夫25分11板……开拓者队以114比98大胜76人队，豪取8连胜，将战绩提升至57胜8负，稳稳的压住湖人队一头！
However, after the Trail Blazers won 8 consecutive victories, the hottest topic among fans is-the Warden has scored less than 8 points in 30 consecutive games.

In this regard, Liu Xiu's fans are very anxious!

In these 8 games, he averaged 23.125 points per game, and his scoring average dropped to 32.2 points per game.

But he himself was in no hurry.

In March, Wade's performance began to decline sharply. As the major teams entered the state, the record of the Heat, which played very well in the past two months, collapsed. In the past 3 games, they only got 7 wins and 2 losses. The average scoring per game is only 5 points, and the rate of decline is not much different from that of Liu Xiu.

If they all fell, Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, which meant that the advantage had not shrunk.

On March 3, the first round of the NCAA basketball championship officially started.

Liu Xiu also ushered in the last opponent of the 5th consecutive championship-the Salt Lake City Jazz.

Brother Pao aggressively led his team to start a confrontation with the Trail Blazers!

I have never tried to fight defensively, and I can't do a good balance of offense and defense. Tonight, Sloan also went crazy with Paul.

打得很好，保罗21投11中，拿到33分 2板8助攻，布泽尔也拿到30分6板4助攻。

But playing this way, the Jazz lost a full 28 rebounds 40 to 12...

Paul and Boozer led the team to soar 116 points, but the Trail Blazers soared more points!

刘秀13投7中，其中三分球6中2，外加12中10的罚球，拿到26分11板17助攻。

在他与拿到11分4板7助攻的迪奥、6分2板4助攻的小加索尔三人的串联下，雷-阿伦拿到25分、兰多夫17分、法外狂徒10分、夸梅-布朗15分9板……

124 to 116, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Jazz and won the battle.

After the final whistle sounded, Paul cried his heart out.

Can't beat defense, can't beat offensive and defensive balance, can't fight offensively!

...

After 5 consecutive main games, the Trail Blazers started a consecutive road trip.

On the 17th, the Trail Blazers came to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles.

206军团大发神威，约什-史密斯拿到12分9板3助攻4抢断3盖帽，带领队友们将开拓者队得分限制在98分。

Pachulia performed very well tonight with 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. He was almost beaten by Randolph, but he fell fast. Randolph just elbowed him, and Pachulia exaggerated. He fell to the ground...Although Randolph slammed that elbow solidly, the way Pachulia yelled made his teammates feel that he was flopping. The referee was worried that the conflict would first give Randolph a technical foul .

而老鹰队的进攻，则是靠25投13中拿到35分的乔-约翰逊、22分8板的米尔萨普、11分9助攻的毕比撑起！
Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Millsap, Bibby, the core lineup of these four people is getting more and more troublesome in the East.

今晚刘秀拿到33分6板8助攻2抢断1盖帽，连续9场得分不到30分的表现断掉了，但连胜也断掉了，未能复刻05-06赛季单赛季3次10+连胜的梦幻成就，战绩下滑至58胜9负。

On the 18th, the Trail Blazers came to Indianapolis to challenge the Pacers back-to-back away.

Bosh coquettishly scored 35 points and 10 rebounds tonight, but had no assists. He took 1 crazy shots, setting a new career record for the number of shots taken in a single game.

It is worth mentioning that Bosh's previous highest shot in a single game was 27 times, and the opponent was also the Trail Blazers, when he was in the second grade.

Bosh's 35 points were not a game-high and failed to give the Pacers a win.

Liu Xiu shot more than Bosh and scored more!

30投14中、其中三分球12中4，加上13中13的罚球，刘秀拿到45分11板4助攻4抢断1盖帽，率领开拓者队以105比95击败步行者队，避免连败！
After another sad night for the Giraffe, the Trail Blazers came to Milwaukee and had a rest overnight. On the 20th, the Trail Blazers played against the Bucks.

What happened to the Bucks is just bad luck. The team was built well, the money was spent, and the manpower was assembled.

Tonight, the Bucks showed their strengths in the depth of their lineup. They have a large number of players, and all of them are capable players. There is still something to put together.

巴特勒拿到22分、诺阿9分7板3助攻1抢断2盖帽、塞申斯8分9助攻、维拉纽瓦19分、贾森-汤普森11分……

但刘秀今晚28投15中，其中三分球11中5，外加9中8的罚球，狂飙43分9板7助攻，率领开拓者队以106比99险胜雄鹿队，将战绩提升至60胜9负！
The Bucks fought so hard tonight because they didn’t want to be the background for the Trail Blazers to win 60 wins. This one is underprepared.

They didn't expect Liu Xiu to play like the last game against the Pacers. They thought he would mainly play and cooperate with his teammates like the Trail Blazers did during their 9-game winning streak. Turned them over.

...

Leading the team to 40 wins in two consecutive 60+ games, Liu Xiu has indeed adjusted his style of play in these two games.

During this period of time, their opponents were not particularly strong overall, but the game was very intensive. This game against the Bucks was their sixth game in 9 days.

Teammates need to take a break from the tense state for a while.

In the Eagles game, they had obvious on-the-spot response that was not timely. This was not due to the coach's tactical response being untimely, but that the players had problems implementing the response, a common problem in the middle of the season, tired and exhausted.

There is another reason... Liu Xiu is a little restless when he is about to win 60.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to chat with the coaching staff, and the coaching staff coincided with each other.

In the last two games, the coaching staff took the initiative to tilt the team system towards the "star main attack". Then, he had two consecutive 40+ games, leading the team to become the first team to win 60 wins this season!

These two games also stopped the downward trend of his scoring average per game, and his average scoring per game bucked the trend and increased by 0.2 points.

This makes the cheeky students who are still struggling to slow down the decline in scoring per game cool.

On the 22nd, the Trail Blazers came to Oklahoma City to challenge the Thunder away.

Playing Rose, Liu Xiu is more excited than playing Mayo!

"Challenger:
Mission object: Derrick Rose.

Goal: The host needs to score at least twice as much as Derrick Rose in this game.

Reward: 1000 healing value, every time the value is doubled, an additional 1 healing value will be rewarded. "

This is the real 'challenger' judged by the system to be a top genius. Although the basic reward is not high, but hard work, it is not a lot, much more than mosquito meat.

Having just won 60 wins, all members of the Trail Blazers were excited, and everyone abused geniuses together!

Liu Xiu originally wanted to target Rose, but Durant was also unlucky.

Durant was defended tonight with only 13 of 4 shots and only 12 points.

Playing against the Trail Blazers before, Durant was just a little less efficient, and he lost his scoring this time.

罗斯8分4板4助攻、科斯蒂奇13分6板、巴尼亚尼11分……雷霆队今晚表现惨到了极致！
刘秀24投14中，其中三分球7中4，加上6中6的罚球，拿到38分6板3助攻，三节打卡下班！
After losing two consecutive 40+ games, Liu Xiu didn't say anything. The away fans were unhappy and booed one after another.

Goose City fans are more concerned about the 40+ in a row than Liu Xiu himself!

In fact, Goose City fans are very supportive of the Thunder, but the Thunder will do everything for Bergriffin. Now the game is really not good. The fans are willing to spend money to support it. It is very good. It is obvious that they will lose Under the circumstances, it is very normal to want to see the superstars of other teams play well.

But for someone as strong as Ross, this is really unacceptable.

He wanted to repay the man on the opposite side with the phrase 'there is only one rose in the NBA'... but now he can't do it, he can only hide in the corner and lick the wound, which is still the wound stabbed by his own fans.

靠着刘秀的38分、夸梅-布朗的11分9板2抢断3盖帽的攻防表现，开拓者队以107比72吊打雷霆队，战绩提升至61胜9负！
On the 24th, the Trail Blazers came to Memphis and played against the Grizzlies again.

Compared with the home game against the Grizzlies, the Trail Blazers are in a much worse state now, with 5 consecutive aways. By this time, they already feel like they are at the end of their battle.

As a youth team, although the record is poor, but the team has been building a winning culture, the Grizzlies do have something to commend.

Although they had just been abused not long ago, they saw that the Trail Blazers were weak this time and played very hard. At the end of the half, they led the Trail Blazers 52 to 41 by as many as 11 points!
In the second half, the Trail Blazers started to go wild, scoring 29 points in the third quarter and 33 points in the fourth quarter, while the Grizzlies only scored 22 points in the third quarter and 23 points in the fourth quarter.

Relying on the score of 62 to 45 in the second half, the pioneer and the team reversed and beat the Grizzlies 102 to 97!
刘秀今晚27投13中，其中三分球7中3，外加7中6的罚球，拿到35分13板10助攻2抢断盖帽！

...

5个客场4胜1负，开拓者队战绩提升是62胜9负！
After 9 consecutive victories, it was 4 consecutive victories, but when the Trail Blazers record reached 60 wins and 9 losses, the fans suddenly woke up. This month, the Lakers and Cavaliers performed extremely well. 23VS24 really appeared. , the media, and fans are full of enthusiasm for discussing this matchup.

But the game continued, and at the end of the month, people suddenly discovered that the team with the best performance was still the Trail Blazers!

So far this month, the Trail Blazers have a record of 12 wins and 1 loss!
The Lakers and Cavaliers are both 11-2 so far this month.

In terms of personal data, Liu Xiu has scored less than 9 points in 30 consecutive games, but he is playing. He averaged 29 points per game this month, plus 8 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 2.9 steals and 1.1 blocks!

When the content of the media's news reports and the focus of discussion among the fans returned to the prison team, Stern was in a bad mood.

Good Ode!
