Healing Basketball

   Chapter 607 607. New track officially opened

   In the evening, Liu Xiu and his family watched the live broadcast of the Pistons' away game against the Nets.

   After 2 hours and 22 minutes of the battle, at 9:22 pm, the Pistons lost to the Nets 104-111 on the road, ending their 4-game winning streak, and the record became 30-6.

   On this day, Liu Xiu had waited for a long time since they beat the Pistons, and the Pistons finally lost again.

   After the game, the first thing the TV commentator mentioned was not the victory or defeat of the just-concluded game, but the 14-game winning streak of the Trail Blazers topping the league with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses.

  The world of competitive sports still depends on performance.

   75 points in a single game is a result, 14 consecutive victories and rushing to the top of the league are also a result!

In the past week or so, because Liu Xiu failed to overtake Kobe by 75 points in a single game, major media have guided public opinion, making people feel that this is such a disappointing thing, even with the intentional guidance of the media. Note that the Blazers have been on a winning streak, and their streak is nowhere near as impactful as the Pistons after their 10-game winning streak last month.

   Now, relying on the opportunity of reaching the top of the league, people have found that Liu Xiu's performance in the five games since Kobe scored 75 points is not only disappointing, but excellent!

   Even if the game against the Hornets was only 10 minutes, you can see the role he played in the game.

   Immediately afterwards, the controversy came - is it better to score 75 points in a single game, or is it more powerful to lead the team to continue to win?

  …

   Relying on 14 consecutive victories to reach the top of the league, the new track has been successfully opened!

   The task was not completed, but the limelight was really grabbed.

  The media, experts, and netizens are all arguing about which one of Liu Xiu and Kobe has performed better recently.

   That's the heat, strangely high, and the wind of public opinion is strangely biased towards Liu Xiu.

   When it was time for breakfast the next day, Qinger asked in a puzzled way: "The newspapers were still calling us all villains yesterday morning, why did they suddenly start complimenting us today?"

  Liu Xiu only cared about being happy to grab the limelight and thinking about the next 5 days and 4 battles, but really didn't think about it.

Anne Hathaway speculated: "Maybe it was because they hyped Mourning for the No. 1 overall pick yesterday, but it was not as hot as Paul Allen's suicide attack on NBA officials, so new topics are needed, and real hot stars come Get the heat up."

  Liu Xiu took over: "It makes sense. The NBA doesn't really want this kind of heat about beating people. The media wants to stir it up. Maybe Stern is still trying to find a way to reduce the heat in this area."

Anne Hathaway nodded: "Yes, Paul Allen suicidally criticized the NBA's official operation, and it just made people laugh and can't bring real discussion heat, so they can only praise us, otherwise in the NFL season During the playoffs, the attention and influence of basketball can only get lower and lower, and the NFL playoffs are still more than three weeks away…”

  Liu Xiu and Anne-Hathaway said one sentence to another, Qing Er has learned a lot about the reasons why the news trend is so strange today, and feels that she has learned some new knowledge as a free secretary.

   At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu attended the team's pre-match meeting.

The coach, who usually doesn't seem to care about anything, looked a lot more serious today, and said to the players: "Today Kwame and Alonzo can't play, Antonio, you need to take more responsibility, Zach, you may also Need to go to center, Nickelodeon, you'll be on the active list tonight..."

   McDyess' face was heavy when he heard this, and Randolph let out a wailing.

Sgotishvili has a happy face. Although he signed a 10-day short contract, he has food and drinks, and can train with an NBA team, but he has never been on the activation list until now, and now he finally has. Here's your chance!

   Liu Xiu complained: "Our winning streak has really come with all kinds of hardships and hardships."

   Based on the current state of the team, this is basically the second most difficult situation he has analyzed over the past two nights.

   Fortunately, the extrajudicial fanatics are not so tired after playing with Stevenson to share the defensive pressure, and have not been injured again this time.

   The coach laughed when he heard Liu Xiu's complaints: "It's very difficult, Gary can't fight tonight, Damon, Steve, you have to be ready to take on more responsibilities..."

   Little Momonga, as always, said, "Leave it to me, the old man should have a good rest, don't compete with young people for time."

   Peyton sneered: "You, young? You want to kill me?"

   Momonga fought back decisively: "At least he's younger than you!"

   The two were about to quarrel, and Blake suddenly said: "Real young people don't care if they are young or not."

   Momonga and Peyton looked at Blake with murderous eyes.

   This guy has been with the warden for a long time, and the black-bellied attribute has skyrocketed!

   Payton's rest is not a temporary arrangement. Back-to-back, Payton, a veteran who may still need to be counted on in the playoffs, will not bother him, and there are enough point guards.

Payton is not good at defending players like Terry and Stackhouse. He is hammered every time. It is better to let him rest. He can do better against Manu Ginobili and Finley in the regular state. .

   Of course, I met Ginobili who was in the state of the demon sword... In the last second quarter, I had 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. Payton defended most of the time. It was a disaster.

   The next step is to adjust the tactical style of play. As the core of the ball, Liu Xiu listens more seriously than anyone else.

   There are two centers who can't play, and one of them is still the starter. The adjustment on both ends of the offense and defense must be quite large.

  …

   The pre-match meeting was quite long, the training time was two 15-minute training sessions, and the rest of the time rested to prepare for the battle.

   At 2:30 pm, the extrajudicial fanatic woke up Liu Xiu, who was taking a nap, and Liu Xiu browsed the forum.

   After more than half a day of fermentation, the trend of public opinion gradually changed to '14 consecutive victories > 75 points in a single game'.

   The extrajudicial fanatic who was onlookers said in surprise: "Warden, people really have a vision. I think you are much better than Bryant."

   Liu Xiu glanced at the extrajudicial fanatic: "Thank you, next time I play against Kobe, I will show him the exact words you commented on."

  Outlaw fanatic: "!!!"

After receiving the healing value, Liu Xiu smiled and continued: "These are actually the intentional guidance of the media, and the hype for more than 75 points in a single game has lost its popularity, which may have aroused some people's disgust, so they chose to support me, if we If you lose next, the higher you hold, the more miserable you will fall..."

   The extrajudicial fanatic nodded with a vague understanding. He would never think about these things. Play well, train well, and play video games well. For the 21-year-old, this is the happiest life.

   But that didn't stop him from thinking that the warden was very powerful.

   After reading the news for a while, Liu Xiu went to the gym for a while, and then ate a super deluxe version of the nutritious lunch with the extrajudicial fanatic and the butcher to recover his strength, and then warmed up...

By a little after 7 p.m., while the Blazers players were warming up, news came that the Lakers' away game against the Grizzlies was over. After an overtime game, Bryant made 20 of 37 shots, including three-pointers. 3 of 5, plus 17 of 20 free throws, scored 60 points in a single game and led the team to a 121-115 victory over the Grizzlies.

   Liu Xiu, who was practicing shooting and finding the ball, heard the news and made a three-point tribute to a wave of little blacksmiths who shot key shots in the playoffs in the rookie year.

   Just got back a little bit of limelight this morning, and was robbed again!

  …

  At 7:40 p.m., at the Rose Garden Arena, the player admission ceremony began. In the manic atmosphere of the Rose Bay Devils home, the visiting Mavericks entered the field first.

   The broadcaster ESPN Sports explained the lineup of the Mavericks casually, and then started talking about Kobe's 60 points.

   60+ in a single game twice a month, only Chamberlain has done it in NBA history!

   The media are hyping Liu Xiu, who led the team to a 14-game winning streak, and his recent performance is better than Kobe, who scored 75 points in a single game. Kobe has soared again. Please re-evaluate who is better.

   So, the ESPN commentator, who was still touting Liu Xiu's 14-game winning streak while broadcasting another game an hour ago, is now bragging about Kobe's 60 points.

   When it was the home team's turn to play the Trail Blazers, ESPN commentators began to create a topic - winning streak VS soaring high scores.

   Kobe has scored 60 points in a single game, can Liu Xiu continue to keep up with his winning streak?

  The sight came to the court of the Rose Garden Arena, and the players of the two teams had already played.

  Tonight's Mavericks players were very excited. After entering the court, Terry ran to the technical table to provoke and exchanged squirting with Momo.

   However, the Mavericks' excitement is also accompanied by pressure. Two of the three opposite centers can't play, and their rim protection ability has plummeted. If they can't win, they will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

  The Blazers players were all angry when they saw the Mavericks, and the opponent obviously wanted to take advantage of them!

   Liu Xiu, who was the most annoying in the past two days, sat quietly on the bench wearing socks after entering the stadium.

   Fans are curious, won't Liu Xiu be uncomfortable wearing so many pairs of socks? And why only wear this when playing the Mavericks?

  The new Stevenson wanted to ask when he saw Liu Xiu wearing so many socks a few days ago, but this time he couldn't hold back and asked.

  Liu Xiu jumped after wearing it and said, "It's actually quite comfortable to wear. Looking at so many pairs, the thickness is about the same as one pair."

  Stevenson: "…"

   He doesn't really want to know the answer...

   On the other side, I just had a quarrel with Momonga. The jet plane that was on the verge of seeing Liu Xiu wearing socks made me even more angry!

  The media have sorted out the hobbies of active players, wearing several pairs of socks, people only remember Liu Xiu, no one knows his jet!

   After the friendly and friendly pre-match greeting, the two teams were doing the final preparations before the game.

   The competition is about to start, Liu Xiu came to the technical table to rub magnesium powder and replicate his talent.

   "The Great Magician: The state of the game.

  Copy objects:

   Teammate: Damon Stoudemire, Character Transformation Talent: Momonga…

   Opponent: Jason Terry, characteristic transformation talent: Jet, because the host has executed the full-blooded version to start the preconditions, the bonus is the full-blooded version.

Bonus effect: When the host shoots against a player taller than himself, the bounce +3, and the bounce speed +3; if the host directly takes off and shoots against a player taller than him, it will make up for the bounce loss caused by the sudden takeoff and make up for it to a large extent. The impact of shooting stability in technical movements such as leaning back. "

   Liu Xiu came to the court, he didn't need to go to understand, he had already guessed what the media would say.

   He won 14 consecutive victories in front of him, but he just opened up a new track. Whether he can win, can he gain the upper hand in the air-to-air duel with the pinnacle god, all he can rely on is to continue to win the game!

  …

  At 8 p.m., as the Outlaws beat Dampier to win the jump ball, the game begins and the Trail Blazers take the lead!

   Blazers starting: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, extrajudicial fanatics, Randolph, McDyess.

   Mavericks starting: Terry, Adrian - Griffin, Josh - Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Dampier.

  Randolph + McDyess, the fast break was unstoppable at the beginning, Liu Xiu received the ball and pushed forward quickly, and came to the frontcourt to slow down.

Seeing Dampier who was following McDyess, Liu Xiu watched Ratliff who was officially put on the bench next court. The new contract of the shot-blocking king has just begun, and it was signed after the Houston clause was released, so it cannot be pardoned. , the buyout also takes up space. Cuban is considered a stall. No one in a normal team will take over a defensive center with an annual salary of 10 million and 30 yuan... uh... It seems not necessarily. There is a team with a lot of bosses. Lan, the general manager nicknamed Assassin.

  After his teammates settled down, Liu Xiu smiled when he saw Randolph eager to try.

  Josh Howard followed Liu Xiu's line of sight and became vigilant.

  McDyss pulled out to block Josh Howard for Liu Xiu, and Dampier, who expanded out to prevent the pick-and-roll, pressed him directly to confront Liu Xiu.

   This is the threat of Liu Xiu throwing a three-pointer after starting the pick-and-roll last time!

  Liu Xiu took the initiative to lean on Dampier during the confrontation and turned around to break through!

   The effect of 'Big Black Bear's Ankle Brace' was triggered, Liu Xiu started at full speed, easily passed Dampier, made a breakthrough... hurry up and stop! Pull-up jumper shot from the free throw line...Easy hit!

   Liu Xiu, who scored the goal, was surprised, so was Randolph who was pinched, and Dirk Nowitzki, who was helped to defend, was also surprised...

  Josh Howard was dumbfounded, isn't the warden on the opposite side going to pull Dampier out and lob the ball for Randolph to force Dirk Nowitzki?

  Then why did he smile at the butcher?

  Wait, is he playing psychological warfare and lying to me?

   That's too damning!

   On the other side, Liu Xiuzheng, who had retreated from the defense, wondered why Josh Howard was defending like that, and suddenly received a prompt to heal the opponent, which made him even more confused.

   But looking at Terry, who was advancing aggressively, he put this aside and easily got a pull-up jumper at the free throw line and a healing value, which is a good thing.

   Offensive and defensive transition, Terry came to the top arc, did not play against the defense of the extrajudicial fanatics, but passed the ball to Josh Howard.

  Under Ray Allen's active and steady defense, Josh Howard suddenly turned from close range and switched to a left-handed jump hook!

When it was the Blazers' turn to attack, Liu Xiu continued to play pick-and-roll with McDyess. This time, Josh Howard bypassed McDyess and chased Liu Xiu from beyond the three-point line after encountering the pick-and-roll. Dampier took a step back to defend. The two encircled and interfered with Liu Xiu's pass to McDyess... Liu Xiu attacked decisively and hoisted the ball to the right of the three-second zone.

  Randolph tacitly squeezed into the inside line, got stuck on Nowitzki, caught the ball and ate Nowitzki and hit the basket!
