Healing Basketball

  Chapter 638 638. Star top5

   After more than two years, Liu Xiu's understanding of Randolph has gradually deepened.

From Randolph's growth experience, Liu Xiu understands why Randolph pursues singleness and why he values ​​money so much in terms of relationships... Don't look at Randolph's extravagant spending on making friends and his own expenses, but When it comes to spending money for women, it can be described as 'picking'.

  Randolph doesn't trust such things as feelings, which has something to do with Randolph's growth experience, so Liu Xiu never expresses his views on Randolph in this regard.

   On the way back to Portland from Toronto, Liu Xiu read the newspaper to pass the time.

   Seeing ESPN's "half-time winning percentage ranking", Liu Xiucai knew that their 44 wins and 8 losses ranked sixth in NBA history!

  The highest winning percentage in the half is the 46 wins and 5 losses of the Bulls in the 95-96 season. In that season, the Bulls did not suffer their sixth loss until after 48 wins.

  The Bulls' 46 wins and 6 losses in the 1996-97 season ranked second in history. That season, the Bulls won 49 wins before suffering their 7th loss.

   The Trail Blazers' 44-8 half-time performance this time is the best performance since the Bulls in the 1996-1997 season in 9 seasons!

  In the news, Liu Xiu saw the half-time performance of the Lakers, which won 67 wins in the 99-00 season, with 40 wins and 11 losses.

It is specifically marked that after the Lakers won their 33rd win that year, they had already lost their 11th game. However, in the next 38 games, the Lakers had 34 wins and 4 losses, playing the strongest season in NBA history. Performance in the second half.

Perhaps because Payton was in their Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu saw a general description of the situation of the Sonics in the 93-94 season in the news. Cheng's winning rate is fifth in history, but the Sonics only got 18 wins and 12 losses in the second half of the season, and finally got 63 wins, and was blacked out by the Nuggets in the first round.

  When Liu Xiu was watching this part of the news, Payton happened to come by coincidence. He wanted to chat with Liu Xiu for a while, but when he saw the content of the news that Liu Xiu was watching, Payton turned around and left angrily.

  For Payton, that was a disgrace to his career, but for Liu Xiu, it was a lesson learned from the past!

  …

   When Liu Xiu was reading the newspapers, he saw that the most lengthy articles in the major sports newspapers were records and rankings.

Eastern record ranking: Pistons 42 wins and 10 losses first, Heat 34 wins and 18 losses second, Raptors 32 wins and 20 losses third, Pacers 38 wins and 14 losses fourth, Nets 31 wins and 21 losses first Five, Cavaliers 30 wins and 22 losses sixth, Wizards 27 wins and 25 losses seventh, Bulls 25 wins and 27 losses eighth...

Western record ranking: Trail Blazers 44 wins and 8 losses first, Spurs 41 wins and 11 losses second, Suns 32 wins and 20 losses third, Mavericks 34 wins and 18 losses fourth, Lakers 31 wins and 21 losses fifth, fast The fleet is sixth with 30 wins and 22 losses, the Nuggets are seventh with 29 wins and 23 losses, and the Grizzlies are eighth with 29 wins and 23 losses...

   When Liu Xiu saw the record ranking, he realized that the Suns had won 8 consecutive victories, from 24 wins and 20 losses all the way to the third place in the Western Conference, overtaking the Lakers.

  Combined with the Kings, who are ranked ninth in the Western Conference with 26 wins and 26 losses, the Pacific Division has become stronger this season! Except for the Warriors, the other four teams are all playoff contenders.

   In terms of data list and scoring list, Kobe has averaged 38.1 points per game so far, leading the second place Iverson with 34 points per game by more than 4 points, far ahead.

   In this regard, as the scoring leader last season, Liu Xiu can feel powerlessness from the words of the newspaper.

   There is no way to fight at all, I am not reconciled, but there is no way...

   In the rebounding list, Ben Wallace ranked first with an average of 13 rebounds per game.

With Yao Ming's position and increased efficiency in protecting the frame, Ben Wallace's rebounds, which have been declining year by year, have increased again, but the lead has gradually narrowed as the season progressed. Garnett, who ranked second, averaged 12.7 rebounds per game, which is very close to up.

   What really attracted Liu Xiu's attention was the one who ranked third with an average of 12.2 rebounds per game - Dwight Howard, who has been in full attendance so far this season, averaging 15.5 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

  Assist list, Liu Xiu's lips turned up when he saw this-averaging 11.4 assists per game, surpassing Nash who averaged 11.2 assists per game, ranking first in the league!

  There is a big difference between the top two and the third place. The third-ranked Blevin Knight averaged 9.2 assists per game. After halfway through the game, it was already determined that Liu Xiu or Nash would definitely win the assists title.

   In the steals list, Liu Xiu ranked first with 3.1 steals per game, followed by rookie Paul with 2.3 steals per game.

   In terms of blocked shots, Kirilenko and Camby compete fiercely. The former has averaged 3.4 blocks per game so far this season, while the latter has averaged 3.3 blocks per game.

In the turnover list, Liu Xiu is at the forefront again, ranking second with an average of 3.6 turnovers per game. The third is Nash with an average of 3.5 turnovers per game. However, it is very difficult for the two to rush to the top. 3.9 turnovers topped the list of turnovers.

   At the top of the turnover list, you can also see players with high ball possession rates such as James, Wade, Iverson, and Pierce. Compared with Liu Xiu and Nash, the number of turnovers is actually similar, averaging 3.3 to 3.5 times per game.

  The data list is fixed, and the major media can have a tendency to evaluate the data of each star, but the data is the data, and the ranking will not change because of the evaluation.

  But the best half-time players in the eyes of various media are different.

Relying on 45 points against the Bobcats and 33 points against the Raptors, Liu Xiu averaged 24.8 points in the half game, plus 7.2 rebounds, 11.4 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, shooting 51.2% from the field and 36.1 from the three-point range. %, 90.2% from the free throw line...With a record of 44 wins and 8 losses, many media regard him as the best player in the half.

  However, Nash and Kobe's half-time performance evaluations are not much worse than his warden, and O'Neal and Artest are also placed in the ranks of "best".

  Liu Xiu searched the newspapers and learned that in the eyes of the media, he, Nash, Kobe, O'Neal, and Artest were the top 5 stars in the first half of the season.

  …

  After returning to Portland, Liu Xiu put basketball-related matters aside, didn't bring any luggage home, and drove directly to the dating place, spending Valentine's Day with Anne Hathaway in the sea of ​​flowers in early spring.

   On the 15th and 16th, when other All-Stars went to Houston to make money, Liu Xiu stayed in Portland, leading Anne-Hathaway and Qing Er to work in the wasteland where the new house had not yet been decided on.

  Anne-Hathaway and Qing'er united as one and refused to turn this wasteland into a vegetable garden. Liu Xiu could only make the next best thing and turn this place into a flower field.

In such a short time, it is impossible to make a name for this piece of land. Liu Xiu just drove the excavator to level the area that should be leveled, and loosen the area where the soil should be loosened... Generally speaking, it is to play with the purpose of driving the excavator.

  Between having fun, Anne Hathaway sighed: "I thought you would be busy from morning to night during the All-Star Weekend this year, but I didn't expect you to push all the work this year."

   "Mr. Lu Xun once said that no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer yourself. I have worked hard for half a year, can't I enjoy it?"
