Healing Basketball

  Chapter 785 785. Chaotic supersonic speed

  Liu Xiu really felt that when Luke Walton directed the triangle offense, Kobe's scoring ability was released better, and the combination of team offense and individual offense was done better.

  Deron’s leadership is definitely important, Wang Zhizhi’s support is also important, and Odom’s comprehensive personal ability is also important, but Luke Wharton is the point that connects these.

  However, the Princeton of the Lakers still has to rely on the twin towers of Odom and Wang Zhizhi, and Luke Wharton will have no effect in Princeton.

  At noon, Liu Xiu went to the airport to pick up his parents who came to Portland on the 'Rose Bay Prison'. Fortunately, he caught up with them. The team still needs to fly tomorrow.

This time, Liu Xiu felt that his parents didn't seem to care about him a little bit. After arriving, they asked about Anne-Hathaway and the second child. When they got home, they ignored his existence and surrounded Anne-Hathaway. Sylvia turns.

   Not only the parents, but even the younger sister is not clinging to him now when she is free, or she is around her nephew and niece, or she is around her sister-in-law...

   Feeling that Liu Xiu was jealous, Anne Hathaway couldn't be happier.

   After a day off on the 4th, on the 5th, Liu Xiu followed the team and started a three-way trip.

  The first stop came to Seattle, which is also in the Northwest Division.

   Liu Xiu learned from the news that the Sonics are now in chaos.

Howard Schultz, the owner of the Supersonics, has been very frustrated for a few years and has lost confidence in his team's ability to operate. He is selling the team. There are many teams interested in the Supersonics, but his selling team The condition is to keep the Sonics in Seattle, which dissuades many buyers.

  Those who are able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a team are mostly for interest, and almost all want to move the team to the city where they live or to their hometown city.

   For one reason or another, the next home of the Sonics has been undecided.

  Liu Xiu remembers that Howard Schultz finally found a buyer who accepted the conditions of keeping the Sonics in Seattle, and the transaction was successful.

The buyer finally abided by the agreement and did not move the Sonics away. He directly disbanded the Sonics, gave up the history of the Sonics, and took the NBA team to Oklahoma City to build a new one. team.

The most interesting thing is that the new boss didn’t take away even a retired Sonics jersey, and all the history was abandoned, but the 78-79 season champions were unwilling to give up. Then, the 2009-2010 season was very interesting. In 2008, there were 'two defending champions'. The team's information stated that the Thunder team was established in 2008, and that there was one championship in team history.

   On the second day, on the night of the 6th, the Trail Blazers came to the Key Stadium to challenge the Sonics.

  The Trail Blazers' starting lineup remains the same, and the Sonics have sent Udri, Damir Wilkins, Lewis, Bargnani, and Nick Collison's lineup.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers did not play well offensively. The Sonics did not intend to play badly. Although their strength was poor, they were still trying to win the game. Their head coach Bobo Hill came up with an extreme defense Strategy - Unlimited flanking of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen + frame protection, and release of other people's long-range shots.

  Of course if there is a chance to make it up, I will still make it up.

  Liu Xiu didn’t hit the start of the blast, and the outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown’s mid-range shots were all solid, and the Trail Blazers only scored 21 points in the first quarter.

   But the Trail Blazers defended the Sonics to only 19 points!

   Randolph didn't play for long, and the outlaws and Kwame Brown played life defense if they couldn't make a shot!

  In order to deal with the inevitable fatigue, slack, pride... etc. after two consecutive championships, Maurice Cheeks decided to use a few young freshmen to attack the defense this season!

  Since the biggest impact is fatigue and potential injuries, it is enough to reduce the playing time of most of the main players in the past two years and let young people play more.

   In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Sonics scored 16 to 16, and continued to maintain a two-point lead with 37 to 35 at halftime.

   After returning from the intermission, Liu Xiu broke out in the third quarter!

4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws, Liu Xiu scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to 27 points in a single quarter, scoring 27 to 22 In the third quarter, Lewis and Bargnani tried to set off a counterattack to force each other.

  In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers lost 21 to 22 against the Sonics by 1 point, but it did not affect the overall situation.

Liu Xiu made 11 of 24 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws, scoring 32 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals; Ray Allen scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 8 of 17 shots; Kwame Brown had 11 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks...The Trail Blazers beat the Sonics 85-79 and started their 3-game winning streak!

  …

  After playing a game in the key stadium, Liu Xiu knew how bad the situation of this team was.

   Attendance is okay, but there are many people who come to support their Trail Blazers.

   And there are a lot of fans in Sonics jerseys booing the Sonics...

   Liu Xiu looked at the data on the big screen, and the opponent adjusted his defense faster than he thought!

   After a wave in the second game, the opponents seemed to be ready to guard against him. Fortunately, the Sonics did not have as good a lineup as the Hornets.

  Although they only won by 6 points against the Sonics, Liu Xiu really felt that the Hornets were stronger. It was just that he wasted the game in the first quarter that day and abused the Hornets by so many points.

   But the Sonics' new dual guns, he feels pretty good.

  Bargnani made 6 of 13 shots tonight, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws to get 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

  As the No. 1 pick, Bargnani has no sense of presence, but he is not the No. 1 pick. There is not so much pressure. Bargnani looks very good!

  Lewis made 8 of 16 shots tonight, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 23 points and 6 assists.

   This guy is stronger and already one of the best pitchers in the world. His contract will expire this summer. Liu Xiu has seen rumors that almost the entire league is interested in Lewis.

  At first he didn't understand how Lewis could get 110 million in 6 years, but now he understands.

  In this era when offense is getting more and more attention, Lewis as a pure pitcher can average 20+ per game, everyone really wants it!

  Lewis' worth has already reached the level of 80 to 90 million dollars in six years... Of course, the last price of the Magic was still too much premium, and it turned into a garbage contract without accident.

  After the match, Liu Xiu went back to the locker room to take a shower, and then called the physical therapist to the lounge for physical therapy.

  With anxiety in his heart, he turned on the TV and tuned to T.N.T Sports Station. Tonight's game between the Lakers and the Jazz will be broadcast live.

   This game started an hour later than their game between the Trail Blazers and the Sonics, and the final quarter has already started for a while.

   Just right, on the TV screen, Kobe made a mid-range shot, and Kobe’s latest statistics appeared next to him. He made 14 of 27 shots and scored 41 points.

   Liu Xiu felt uneducated again at this moment, and there was only one word to describe his mood——
