   Chapter 473 473. Sir Revenge

  The important thing is the warden's scoring championship!

James sent an assist to the Warden yesterday. In the game between the 76ers and the Cavaliers, Iverson scored 21 points and 16 assists on 7 of 16 shots and 7 of 9 free throws, leading the team to 103 to 97 win over the Cavaliers.

   Currently Liu Xiu played 70 games and averaged 31.8 points per game; Iverson played 71 games and averaged 32.3 points per game.

   Liu Xiu was suspended for 7 games this season, and Iverson missed 7 games due to injury.

   Relying on the Cavaliers' limit on Iverson's scoring, the total score gap between the two in the same game was reduced from 47 points to 36 points!

   In the face of the idol's heavy hammer attack, James has a wave of fans in Portland.

   This is definitely a huge advantage for Liu Xiu to compete for the scoring title, but when they met the Jazz, a team that loves tossing people, the Blazers fans felt a lot of pressure! The hostility to the Jazz is even deeper!

   Blazers fans say that the Jazz love to toss their opponents and deliberately disgust their opponents this season, which is really not talking bad about the Jazz.

  The Jazz have really played bad for the sake of playing bad this season. It will be difficult for them to make it to the playoffs, but it is not a problem to reach 40 wins!

   In this case, the players can understand the team's plan, but negative emotions are inevitable. In this case, they can only try to have fun and toss the opponent by defense.

   As long as they see that other people are upset, they are happy.

   The current public opinion says that they are a roadblock for Liu Xiu to compete for the scoring title, and the Jazz players are really set on this roadblock!

Especially Ruben Patterson, he wanted to take revenge on Liu Xiu for a long time, but he couldn't fight. If it can affect Liu Xiu's scoring championship, hehe... At first, he was humbled to be a younger brother, but he was sold off. This hatred is naturally released. to the warden.

   Deliberately tossing and disgusting opponents, Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz, will not stop them, but will help them.

   That's their team spirit.

  …

   At 7:30 p.m., the Blazers vs. the Jazz kicked off.

   Jazz starting: Howard - Asley, Ruben - Patterson, Kirilenko, Boozer, Okur.

   Blazers starting: Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Varejao, McDyess.

  Maurice Cheeks continues to choose to rest.

He has confidence in his players and is cautious at the same time. 60 wins is good, but staying healthy for the playoffs is the most important thing. The second-placed Mavericks in the West have won 14 straight games. I really think this lineup is good enough for the Jazz.

   Another thing is to help Liu Xiu win the scoring... Randolph takes a rest, doesn't Liu Xiu have more power?

   Ways to increase the sense of belonging of the leading star - help players win substantial honors.

   Next season, the 2003 players can renew their contracts in advance.

  After the start of the game, the Blazers fans and coaching staff found that their worries were unnecessary, and the confidence of the Jazz players was also a no-brainer.

   Although the Trail Blazers have only 1 win and 2 losses against the Jazz this season, Liu Xiu's performance against the Jazz is not bad every time.

   Moreover, last time Liu Xiu played against the Jazz, he scored 12 points in 9 minutes in the final quarter, and the Blazers also limited the Jazz to 16 points in the final quarter.

  The most important thing is that the previous game between the Blazers and the Jazz had some contempt for the fish belly team.

   Tonight, the Trail Blazers will not be contemptuous. Liu Xiu and his teammates set foot on the court with the determination to win and the caution after being upset twice!

   After the first quarter, the Blazers still only scored 22 points, but their desperate defense limited the Jazz to 17 points!

  22 to 17, the Trail Blazers led by 5 points in the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 5 of 10 shots in a single quarter, plus 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 14 points in a single quarter!

  In every attack of the Blazers in the first quarter, Liu Xiu was the first choice!

Sloan was stunned to see this scene. Even if Randolph was rested, the Blazers still had Payton, Raheem, Van Horn, Derrick Anderson and several players who had the right to shoot themselves in the first quarter. , but the one who shot seems to always be Liu Xiu!

   Even Jordan was not so outrageous back then!

   Now there is a question for Sloan - should we continue to emphasize defensive discipline, or just let the players play?

   Thinking of Liu Xiu's more than a dozen rounds in the first quarter, Sloan thinks it's better to emphasize defensive discipline!

  The Jazz can maintain their mad-assist temperament after Shuangsha retires, thanks to their defensive discipline.

   Then, in the second quarter, Liu Xiu made 6 of 13 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws, soaring 16 points in a single quarter!

   In the second quarter, Liu Xiu made more shots than in the first quarter! 23 shots at halftime and 30 points? Sloan was not stunned, but dumbfounded! Even after Momomoko came on the court, he chose to help Liu Xiu as his first choice! The number of shots is even more than the first section!

   The most important thing is Liu Xiu's state! Amazing!

   In the match last month, Liu Xiu's state has already made Sloan feel nostalgic, and he can maintain such a stable performance in March.

   This time Sloan felt what was scary!

   The current rhythm of the game is almost the same as that of the playoffs. Under the stronger confrontation and looser whistle, Liu Xiu's performance is even stronger than the adjustment stage in March!

  This is the legendary playoff player?

  Sloan is envious... He doesn't want to admit it, but Shuangsha is really a player whose performance in the playoffs is worse than the regular season.

   Liu Xiu's state far exceeded the Jazz's expectations. The Jazz's defense was definitely effective, but it was far below their expected effect.

Liu Xiu opened up the situation. In addition, this time the Blazers players have a correct attitude and pay more attention to this game than when they played against the Jazz in the previous three times. The 60-win team and the second-to-last team in the Western The strength gap is very obvious!

   Even if the Trail Blazers don’t start with the twin towers, as long as they are focused and serious, they are still stronger than the Jazz!

   And what the rest of the Blazers have to do tonight is very simple, just defend and attack.

   The Trail Blazers scored 23-16 in the second quarter, and the point difference continued to widen. After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz 45-33 by 12 points!

   By the third quarter, there was no need for Sloan to choose whether to continue emphasizing defensive discipline or to find a way to limit Liu Xiu's scoring. The players were completely unable to adhere to the team's defensive discipline. Ruben Patterson took the lead in opening the lock-up warden mode.

   After the first quarter soared, Liu Xiu expected the game to develop in this direction. The Jazz did not start to chaotic until the second half, which was beyond his expectations.

   The team coached by Sloan has nothing to say in terms of discipline!

   Attracting pinch shots, splitting the ball, and looking for opportunities to shoot in counterattacks... Liu Xiu's style of play is simple and clear.

Tonight, Liu Xiu's teammate copied is Momo, and he will strengthen his counterattack; his opponent, copying Matt Halprin, is also strengthening his offense. This opponent's characteristic transformation talent is 'tough guy', the matching degree is not high, and the residual blood version , but the shot after the confrontation reduces the negative effects of the confrontation. Very helpful.

After the chaos on the Jazz side, the offense that was not very good became worse, and there was even a situation where a group of people shot randomly around the three-point line. After the chaos of the Jazz team, the defense did not do what they expected. Well, Liu Xiu had more chances to counterattack in the third quarter than in the first two quarters! Too many free throws!

   In the third quarter, Liu Xiu made 3 of 5 shots, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 13 points in a single quarter!

   Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers scored 28 points in the third quarter! After three quarters, his teammates scored higher than him for the first time.

   On the Jazz side, they only scored 12 points in the third quarter, one less than Liu Xiu’s personal score!

  73 to 45, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz by 28 points in three quarters!

   Liu Xiu made 14 of 28 shots, including 1 of 4 three-pointers, plus 14 of 16 free throws, soaring 43 points, clocked in three quarters and got off work!

  …

   At 9:50 p.m., the Blazers-Jazz game ended.

   Liu Xiu, Payton, Momonga, and Rahim didn't play in the last quarter, and there was no accident. The score difference at the end of the three quarters, even if the Trail Blazers scored 0 points in the last quarter, the Jazz couldn't make a comeback.

  95 to 66, the Blazers' blood slaughtered the Jazz to complete their revenge, and this season's regular season and the Jazz were 2 wins and 2 losses!

  The Trail Blazers became the fourth team this season to play against teams in the same division after the Suns, Spurs, and Pistons.

   After defeating the Jazz, the Trail Blazers improved to 58 wins and 20 losses, tying the record of last season!

   When the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

  S-rated rating! The 12th S grade this season!

   Overwhelmed the Jazz and received high praise,

   In addition to this, there is a reminder for task completion.

   "Blooming Rose series mission: Division hegemony, completed.

  Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: random attribute +1, which has been used automatically. "

   "Congratulations to the host for obtaining attribute points: Bounce +1, the host's bounce has been increased from 87 to 88."

The    system screen switches to his ability evaluation, the bounce is flashing, it has become 88, and the additional bullet speed evaluation is also increased from 76 to 77.

   Good luck!

  When the bounce also reaches the first-class level, the probability of winning the five technical attributes of speed, strength, bounce, physical strength, and flexibility is no different.

   Speed ​​and bounce are the attributes he most wants to draw right now.

   Listening to the cheers of the fans who still couldn't stop after the game, Liu Xiu looked at the big screen, which posted the ranking of 40+ times of active players in a single season.

   Relying on tonight's three quarters of 40+, Liu Xiu's record of 40+ times this season has reached 17 times, tying Iverson, who is second in active service, second only to Kobe's 19 times in the 02-03 season!

   There are 4 games left, the opponents are the Nuggets, Mavericks, Suns, Lakers, Liu Xiu's mouth is upturned.

Before   , when people discussed the 40+ times in a single season in active service, they all said that he might be tied with Kobe, and the analysis was based on who can win. Among them, playing against the Jazz is the number of games that people think he can't get 40+.

   However, in his first three games against the Jazz this season, he averaged 34 points per game, which is higher than the season average!
