Healing Basketball

Chapter 860 860. No Sprint at the End of the Season

Second in the Western Conference and fourth in the league!
Liu Xiu wanted to stabilize this record.

The Spurs, who have already won 60 games, have no possibility of overtaking. Even if the Spurs lose all 8 games left, it is still difficult to overtake.

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

The record should be as good as possible, and we will attack 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.

After two days of rest and 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 on the team, crushed Ohio State University and won two consecutive championships.

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

This quartet is too strong. In the finals, both Noah and Horford 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 college, the top striker.

But it is said that Brewer can snatch 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 such a good thing would not happen 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 4 pm on April 6, the Trail Blazers came to the Staples Center to challenge the Clippers away.

刘秀出场38分钟，23投13中其中三分球7中3，加上8中7的罚球，拿到42分7板7助攻2抢断，雷-阿伦和兰多夫双双拿到17分，开拓者队以106比89轻松击败快船队，将战绩提升至56胜19负！
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 place in history!
前三，第三是科比上赛季的33次，第二是乔丹86-87赛季的37次，第一是张伯伦61-62赛季的63次。

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

On the 8th, the Trail Blazers returned home to face the Sonics, and the Sonics 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 did not go well in those two games, so they relaxed their attack on Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu scored 40+.

The Supersonics team, which is at the bottom of the frightening league, was terrified. They were all at the bottom of the league, and they were given [-] or [-] 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.

刘秀16投4中拿到12分10板17助攻3抢断，率领开拓者队以129比98屠杀超音速队，将战绩提升至57胜19负！
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.

But 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 possession and scoring.

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

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

...

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

Maurice 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.

The players... Mainly, Randolph and Ray Allen recovered their form later than expected. After testing their form, 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 goal of 60 wins, but there is no way. After discussing with Randolph and the outlaws, Liu Xiu felt that in the case of polishing tactics, they should work hard and try their best to play well. up.

On April 4, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Lakers at home.

靠着科比的36分7板3助攻、德隆的15分6板9助攻、王治郅的8分7板3助攻、奥多姆的14分11板、德里克-安德森的12分、拉德马诺维奇19分……湖人队以116比108力克开拓者队，避免了被开拓者队横扫。

刘秀拿到31分7板6助攻、雷-阿伦16分4板4助攻、兰多夫19分10板。

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

Ray Allen also has the feeling of last season, not as sharp-edged as he was in the early season, but the more stable third-in-command feeling that the Blazers need more now.

But tonight's tactical adjustments were in the wrong direction and they suffered a tragic defeat.

On April 4, 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 ranked last in the league last season, this year's progress is huge.

今晚罗伊20投9中拿到22分2板5助攻，表现亮眼。

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 had already lost their 20th game.

好在两队实力差距很大，靠着刘秀的22分9板7助攻、雷-阿伦的15分8助攻、兰多夫的21分、拉希姆的17分、小飞鼠的11分……开拓者队以104比99险胜森林狼队，将战绩提升到58胜20负！
On the 14th, the Trail Blazers returned to their home court to face the Spurs for the fourth time this season.

刘秀拿到19分12板10助攻、布雷克拿到7分1板6助攻，在以防守为主的对决中，两人梳理好了就进攻，率队拿到104分。

但马刺队那边，邓肯拿到30分10板2助攻、帕克20分5助攻、吉诺比利25分3助攻、尤德里6分10助攻……马刺队以109比104险胜开拓者队！

The Spurs won all four games 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 regain some confidence.

On Liu Xiu's side, being swept by a team in the regular season is annoying 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 game started, the two teams directly started the defensive battle mode!
The Trail Blazers led the Bulls 16-12 in the first quarter, and the Bulls returned 15-11 in the second quarter. 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 think about it. How to brag about how well the two teams played...

In fact, it played well, but it was ugly!

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

After the Trail Blazers adjusted for a few days, Maurice Cheeks has gradually made it clear how they will play in the playoffs.

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

When playing 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 advantages in this regard!

靠着兰多夫单节6分6板1助攻，以及稳定的防守，开拓者队第三节打了公牛队一波23比18，取得了5分的领先优势！

At the end of the quarter, the Bulls re-restricted the Trail Blazers, 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.

最终，靠着刘秀的16分7板4助攻5抢断1盖帽、兰多夫的18分17板3助攻、雷-阿伦的16分2板2助攻……开拓者队以69比65力克公牛队，报了上次客场输球的一箭之仇！
...

The Vengeance Bulls, cool, have already been swept by a No. 21, and the Trail Blazers players don't want to be swept by a second No. 21.

But this game won a lot of energy... It can't be said, but the next day they played the Kings back-to-back at home. The Trail Blazers were exhausted and played well. Liu Xiu scored 37 points and the team scored 104 points. , 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 doesn't matter if you lose the game. After the game, Liu Xiu received a system prompt... Two missions!
"...Dynasty Road series mission: a beautiful ending trigger."

"...Light and Darkness series of missions: triggering against the wind."
