Healing Basketball

  Chapter 826 826. Three consecutive months are the best!

  David Stern is a direct threat, let Anthony be honest.

   In this brawl, the league's four evil teams really got hammered.

  Portland Prison, Detroit Bad Boys, New York Nursing Home, Denver Mining Bandits...

   On January 31, the last day of this month, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Nuggets at home.

The Nuggets' 4 starters were suspended, Iverson, Anthony, Nene, Camby, Kenyon Martin were reimbursed for the season, JR Smith and Reggie Evans were suspended from the bench lineup, those who can play and fight Yes, almost all banned.

  The Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets all the way, 33 to 13 in the first quarter and 30 to 28 in the second quarter. From the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers were releasing water, reducing the playing time of other main players except Liu Xiu...

   Liu Xiu played 33 minutes in the first three quarters and made 16 of 23 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 43 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

  The score in the third quarter was 31 to 32, and the score in the fourth quarter was 23 to 24. In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's third consecutive game of 40+, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 117 to 97, and their record improved to 36 wins and 11 losses!

   As for the Nuggets, there are still 9 games where both guns are absent at the same time...

  …

   "The Beyonder: The Legendary Road series of missions.

   Host 40+ times in a single game: 16 times, Kobe Bryant 40+ times in a single game: 14 times...

  Mission reward: 1 talent fragment. "

  After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a reminder of the progress of the task, and Kobe was ahead of Kobe by 40+ times by two games!

   After losing to the Hornets on the night of the 28th, he triggered this task and competed with Kobe for 40+ times this season.

  This task, he felt it was too difficult!

  It is true that he has more 40+ times than Kobe now, but this is because of 7 40+ times in the last 10 games to overtake.

   But now that it has overtaken, it is possible to lead to the end!

   On the second day, a new month came.

   When the Nuggets left Portland and returned to Denver in the morning, the Trail Blazers also left Portland and came to Denver.

  I chose to go in the morning this time because I wanted more time to adapt to the competition environment of the Denver Plateau.

  At noon, in Liu Xiu's room, Randolph and the outlaws were also there, and the remaining three of the seven people in Rose Bay gathered to eat the lunch prepared by the warden and play games together in the afternoon.

   While eating lunch, turn on the TV and watch the live program jointly produced by the NBA official and American Cable Sports.

   First announced the best of the month awards for January.

  Rookie of the month.

  East: Yog Garbajosa of the Raptors, in 15 games, averaged 7.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

  West: Brandon Roy of the Timberwolves, 14 games, averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

  Best coach of the month, East: Sam Mitchell of the Raptors; West: Gregg Popovich of the Spurs.

  Player of the month:

  East: Darko Milicic of the Raptors, 10 wins and 5 losses, averaging 16.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.

  West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 12 wins and 4 losses, averaging 36.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2 steals and 0.56 blocks per game.

  Although she expected to win the award, Liu Xiu was still very excited after winning the award.

  10,000 healing points in hand!

  Won the Player of the Month Award for three consecutive months. Before him, only Garnett in the 03-04 season won the Player of the Month Award in the Western Conference for three consecutive months from December to February.

   Liu Xiu became the second player in NBA history to achieve such an achievement!

However, this achievement is only possible after the 01-02 season. Before the 01-02 season, the monthly best was not divided into east and west. Best is a rare thing, sometimes the regular season MVP is not necessarily the best performance in a single month.

  For example, in the 95-96 season, the Bulls' 72-win season, Jordan almost didn't get the best of the month once, and the only time he got it was quite controversial. David Robinson actually played a little better that month.

  Of course, even if this is a "restrictive achievement in contemporary basketball", Liu Xiu is still very excited. If there is a "restriction", after a few years, only he and Garnett have done it.

   On the east side, it's a bit too much.

   What about the agreement that the East has no insiders?

   The best player of the month for three consecutive months is a center, and the three centers each won the best player of the month once in three months!

   Immediately afterwards, NBA Vice President Stu Jackson began to announce this year's All-Star starting list.

   At 12 noon on January 30th, the voting has ended.

  Eastern starters:

   Guard: Wade first with 2.21 million votes, Arenas second with 1.53 million votes.

  Forward: Garnett first with 2.55 million votes, James second with 2.39 million votes.

   Center: Yao Ming ranked first with 2.19 million votes.

  West starters:

  Defender: Liu Xiu is the first with 2.91 million votes, and Kobe is the second with 2.39 million votes.

  Forward: Anthony first with 2.03 million votes, Duncan second with 1.81 million votes.

   Center: Kwame Brown ranked first with 2.26 million votes.

  When the number of votes for the first and second rounds was announced, Liu Xiu was the top voter. When the number of votes for the second round was announced, he had already led Garnett by 300,000 votes. This time he was very stable.

  When the number of votes was announced, he received a system notification that the All-Star starters will be rewarded with 10,000 healing points, and the All-Star vote winner will be rewarded with 20,000 healing points.

  During the announcement of the votes, Liu Xiu and others heard a call from the window not far from the next door. It was Kwame Brown's voice.

  When the league put Duncan and Little Bully at the forward position, Kwame Brown already had expectations for the All-Star starter.

  In the first and second rounds, Kwame Brown was far ahead of the second place Wang Zhizhi, so Kwame Brown has been playing harder and harder recently... But after being selected, he was still very excited.

  From the fact that the league put Carter, McGrady, Duncan, and Bully at the forward position, Liu Xiu reckoned that the league wanted to 'push new players'.

  Garnett's popularity, once he goes to a team with a good market, it will be the king of votes.

  James, the new generation of popularity in the East.

   Carter is no longer the most popular player in the Pistons, not to mention stealing the limelight with Yao Ming, Billups has gradually caught up with Carter in popularity.

   McGrady is performing a soap opera with the Nets. There is no decline in popularity, but there is no rising popularity in previous years.

   These two cousins ​​must not be able to compete with Garnett and James.

  But in the West, Anthony was selected as the All-Star starter, and there were signs last season.

  Liu Xiu reckoned that the league didn't expect Duncan's performance to rise at the age of 30, and his popularity would rise again!

   The league probably wants to praise Kwame Brown and free up the center position. There are fewer and fewer good centers in the West.

   I didn't expect that Xiaobawang's popularity could not surpass Duncan...

   That is, Anthony has been suspended, and the suspension will end in March...

It didn’t make Liu Xiu curious for a long time. After the video highlights of the 10 All-Star starters were released, Stu Jackson said: “Carmelo Anthony’s suspension will not affect his participation in the All-Star Weekend. Please fans who voted for him Don't worry..."
