Healing Basketball

   Chapter 659 659. The Happiness of King Silver Horn

  “The Trail Blazers still need 23 wins to break the Bulls record...fuck we only have 23 games left in this season, there is nothing wrong with it...”

  In a suite at the Manor Hotel in the northeast of downtown Dallas, Liu Xiu was complaining about the news.

  The extrajudicial lunatic who was playing World of Warcraft next to him put on his earphones.

  As for why they didn't go back to their own suite...the outlaw fanatics were waiting for Liu Xiu to finish complaining about the news and brush up the dungeon together.

   The day after beating the Mosaics, the Trail Blazers left Houston for Dallas.

  50 wins, the boss is happy, after the game last night, the vice president temporarily upgraded the accommodation treatment in Dallas for the two days.

  In terms of news, they slaughtered the sports section.

  ESPN loves gimmicks, 50 wins and 9 losses is good, but there are many better ones in NBA history.

   However, ESPN played with the timeline! No record set record!

  Since the Bulls' 69-win season in the 1996-97 season, the Trail Blazers are the only team that won 50 games without losing double figures.

After the 1996-97 season, the Bulls, Jazz, Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Pacers, Suns and other teams had a record of 60+ wins, but when they got 50 wins, the number of losses was low. In more than 10 games.

   When Liu Xiu saw this new record, she felt amazing!

   But after watching a few ESPN-related news, Liu Xiu can only complain.

   Actually hyping whether they will end the regular season with a wave of 26 consecutive victories...

   Brushing the news, Liu Xiu saw the report of last night's game, the 11th triple-double, no one cares, a little sad.

  Last night's game, Liu Xiu thought it was a bit interesting.

The Mosaic team didn’t have many live broadcast opportunities this season, but the Trail Blazers have won 49 wins after beating the Spurs, so this game was overbroadcast. .

In the game last night, the Mosaic team did not have a particularly strong desire to win. Although they kept saying that they would not give up any game when they were interviewed by the Chinese media, their coaching staff’s operation during the game was to lose as much as they could. , Now the focus is on training the two rookies Granger and Bynum.

  Granger averaged 9.4 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. His defensive talent and shooting talent are outstanding.

  Bynum averaged 8.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. His talent is visible to the naked eye.

  The performance of these two men last night was also something. Granger scored 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals, and Bynum had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

  Thinking of these two people, Liu Xiu reckoned that the Mosaic team would have dual cores to squeeze in the future.

   As far as Bynum's brain is concerned, I don't know how it can withstand a few years of tossing.

  When Liu Xiu's attention was drawn away from the news, she felt a resentful look in her eyes, the eyes of a high school student.

  Liu Xiu repeatedly apologized, logging in to the game and starting the road to copying with outlaw lunatics...

  …

  After a night of rest, on March 7th, the last game day of the Trail Blazers' 5 consecutive away arrived.

   In the morning, Liu Xiu and Nowitzki had an appointment for breakfast, and the two chatted about building Pingdingshan Manor.

  After the All-Star Weekend, with the help of Cuban, Nowitzki successfully obtained a low-priced land purchase from the Dallas City Hall.

  After Kobe Bryant renewed his contract with the Lakers for 7 years, Cuban gave up on Kobe, and his eyes were full of Nowitzki. Liu Xiu was not surprised to help him.

But Liu Xiu thinks that in Dallas, a city with a super popular team like the Cowboys, Nowitzki can get such a treatment, more importantly because of his skin color, the four major leagues have teams here, and they are all strong teams , but the star of each team is Nowitzki, a white man.

  Recently, Nowitzki moved directly near the hill he bought, and devoted his spare time to building a house.

  Liu Xiu learned from Nowitzki that the Silver Horn King is now indulging in the joy of bargaining with those building material merchants and workers.

Recently, housing prices have transitioned from the stop growth when Liu Xiu built the house to the beginning of decline. The accumulation of building materials has become more serious and has fallen even more. The human resources of construction workers have also become more redundant. In the past, materials could not be bought and people could not be recruited. Now it is possible. It is also a price that makes building material merchants and construction companies swear red-faced but dare not refuse directly.

   How happy Liu Xiu and Nowitzki were chatting in the morning, and how tit-for-tat the warden and King Silver Horn stood on the court at night!

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Mavericks started at the American Airlines Center.

  In the first quarter, the Blazers relied on the defense against Nowitzki, which made the Mavericks very uncomfortable. The Mavericks only scored 17 points in a single quarter, leading the Mavericks by 6 points 23 to 17.

In the second quarter, the Blazers' defense was still effective. The Mavericks only scored 20 points in a single quarter. The defense was on the rise in the second quarter, and the Blazers only scored 20 points against it.

   At the end of halftime, the Mavericks bit the point difference and were still only 6 points behind the Trail Blazers 37 to 43.

In the third quarter, the situation changed abruptly. The offensive efficiency of the Mavericks gradually improved. Nowitzki did a better job as a running shooter. A tip-up caused a foul and made one of two free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter and helped the Mavericks score 23 points in a single quarter.

  As for the Trail Blazers, their offensive efficiency did not pick up in the third quarter, one point less than in the second quarter, and only scored 19 points.

   At the end of the three quarters, the Trail Blazers' lead was reduced to 2 points by the Mavericks, leading the Mavericks only 62 to 60.

  Randolph worked hard in the final quarter, and the others also worked hard. The team scored 25 points in the final quarter, but the soaring Mavericks scored 33 points in a single quarter!

   Nowitzki made consecutive catches and shots from the sideline. The rest of the Mavericks had the most stable target to score the ball and played very well!

   Randolph made 14 of 22 shots tonight, plus 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 33 points, 18 rebounds and 2 assists. But apart from him, his teammates including Liu Xiu did not perform well.

   Liu Xiu made 6 of 15 shots and only scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Kwame Brown had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Ray Allen only scored 12 points on 5 of 15 shots...

  This morning, the media are still hyping the topic of whether the Trail Blazers can directly pass the regular season with 26 consecutive victories following the rhythm of ESPN.

   But the Trail Blazers did not leave people with more suspense...

Nowitzki made 8 of 16 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Terry scored 25 points and 5 assists, Daniels scored 21 points, 6 assists... Mavs beat Portland 93-87, handing Portland their 10th loss of the season!
