  Chapter 927 Chapter 927. Running wildly on the triple-double list (Happy New Year)

  The Trail Blazers had long been prepared for the Jazz's offensive firepower, but they were still overwhelmed by the opponent in the first quarter.

  Paul had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Boozer had 8 points, Chandler had 6 points, and Szczerbiak came off the bench with 5 points... The Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 3 points 29-26 in the first quarter!

  The Jazz played well offensively. Although the defense was not as good as last season, it was still passable.

   It is related to mentality. The Jazz regard the Trail Blazers as an opponent that must be overcome, and they are obsessed with it.

  But in the eyes of Liu Xiu and others, the Jazz is just an ordinary opponent.

  As far as Liu Xiu is concerned, he doesn't think that Paul can reach the Western Conference Finals with this group of people.

   Gotta give him a super-scoring point guard, and if he goes to the Lakers with that...

  Now he just values ​​Paul, not as much as Paul and the Jazz.

  Relying on well-prepared defense, the Jazz defended quite well in the first quarter.

   But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers began to gain the upper hand!

Ray Allen, who has been in good form recently, played in 3 minutes and 22 seconds. In less than 9 minutes, he made 4 of 4 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. !

   Liu Xiu scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to a score of 29 to 27 in a single quarter, chasing the point difference to only 1 point!

   But Paul is not a vegetarian!

Seeing that the situation was about to be reversed by Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, after returning from the intermission, Paul scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists in the third quarter, helping Boozer score 11 points, Matt Ha Prin scored 5 points, Kapono made two three-pointers, Kirilenko made a 2+1...

  The Jazz scored 30 points in a single quarter!

  The Trail Blazers also performed well in the third quarter. Liu Xiu scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to 27 points in a single quarter, but not as good as the Jazz.

   After three quarters, the Jazz lead the Trail Blazers by 4 points 86 to 82!

   But in the crucial fourth quarter, the Jazz collectively lost the chain.

   A common problem of teams led by 'nanny players'!

   Paul, who scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists in the first three quarters, only scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 1 of 4 shots in the final quarter.

   Affected by this, the Jazz only scored 23 points in the final quarter.

   On the other side, Liu Xiu made 2 of 4 shots in the final quarter, plus 5 of 6 free throws, 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter.

  Helped Ray Allen get 9 points, Kwame Brown 7 points, Korver 3 points, outlaw lunatics 5 points, Randolph 2 points.

  The Trail Blazers scored 35 points in the final quarter and beat the Jazz by 12 points in a single quarter!

  Liu Xiu played 44 minutes, scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to a 117-109 victory over the Jazz!

  …

  4 consecutive triple-doubles, 5 consecutive victories!

  Originally, people were only talking about Liu Xiu's statistics, and the record was covered up.

  But the Trail Blazers played a wave of 5 consecutive victories, which gave people a completely different feeling!

  Last month, there was always a saying that 'the prison team lost, but the warden didn't lose'. Now, the warden won, and the Blazers also won!

   On the second day, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland and rested for an afternoon. At 8 pm, they ushered in back-to-back games with the Jazz at home and away.

  In the first quarter, the two teams tied 28-28. In the second quarter, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers 26-25 by 1 point.

  Based on last night's game, the two teams have a clearer understanding of the opponent's current strength, style of play, and state. The offensive and defensive ends are more aware of the opponent's style of play, and they play equally.

But in the third quarter, after the Trail Blazers set off a star confrontation, the performance of the trio of Paul, Kirilenko, and Boozer was far inferior to that of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and Randolph. The attacking ability of the latter is much stronger than the former!

   27 to 20 in a single quarter, after three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz by 6 points 80 to 74!

  The performance of the Jazz improved in the last quarter. Boozer scored 15 points in a single quarter and led the Jazz to 27 points in a single quarter.

But for the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 9 points in a single quarter, and the extrajudicial lunatic who came off the bench cut to close-range catches and scored 11 points in a single quarter. Got 29 points!

Paul performed very well tonight, scoring 21 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal and block on 7 of 19 shots, helping Boozer to score 35 points, but Paul's key ball shooting percentage is not low, but he also has a tendency to be "selfless at critical moments" , there are really not many votes at the critical moment...

   But Liu Xiu scored 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Ray Allen 20 points, Zach Randolph 14 points, outlaws 21 points... 4 players from the Trail Blazers scored in double figures and beat the Jazz again 109-101!

  …

  Liu Xiu had 5 consecutive triple-doubles, the Trail Blazers had 6 consecutive victories, and their record improved to 15 wins and 7 losses!

   It's almost the middle of the season, and the Trail Blazers are once again phenomenal favorites!

  The most panicked is James, who averaged 30.8 points per game and ranked first in the scoring list.

   It’s fine if he didn’t reach the top of the scoring list, even if he stays for a day or two and gets knocked off, then he will still be happy to be at the top of the scoring list.

   But now I have been here for 1/4 season, and suddenly someone is about to catch up, how can I bear it?

   The top of the east and west list is also a little flustered!

  The warden is coming again?

   They were relieved after watching the live broadcast of the Trail Blazers.

  The Trail Blazers only performed well at critical moments. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are both god-level key players.

  Regular time, the Trail Blazers are like that, the overall performance of the Jazz in regular time is obviously better than that of the Trail Blazers.

Moreover, Ray Allen and the outlaws are in excellent form recently. Hill mentioned that Ray Allen has benefited the most from the starting lineup. Well, the extrajudicial lunatics go to the bench, and they have a clear advantage against the backup striker, and the opponents are not prepared enough...

   The Trail Blazers took a day off back to back. On December 14th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Warriors at home.

   After 2 hours and 25 minutes of competition, at 10:25 in the evening, the two teams decided the winner.

Liu Xiu made 9 of 17 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 10 of 10 free throws. He scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Weiss!

  105 to 95, the Trail Blazers beat the Warriors at home!

  …

   The Bulls and Spurs didn't particularly care about the Blazers' performance.

  In their view, the Trail Blazers have been winning streak only because they are in good condition + changed their style of play and the opponent is not used to it + key ball ability.

  There is no problem with their analysis. When the Trail Blazers opened the team meeting, the coaching staff also said the same.

   But fans will not analyze this, most fans only look at the results.

  The result they saw was that the Trail Blazers had won 7 consecutive victories! Tied the Bulls' longest winning streak of the season with 7 consecutive victories!

   What is even more eye-catching is that Liu Xiu got a triple-double in 6 consecutive games!

   On the list of consecutive triple-doubles, Liu Xiu ranked third in history!

   Only Wilt Chamberlain's 9 consecutive triple-doubles, Jordan tied for second and Big 0's 7 consecutive triple-doubles are ahead of Liu Xiu!
