The entrance ceremony is over, and the fans' excessive cheers have already cooled down.

But the shocking feeling when the Trail Blazers players came out has left a deep impression on the fans.

The visiting team players also came to their senses.

Detached from that emotion, Arenas was embarrassed and angry.

He actually felt a sense of oppression from a rookie!

Fortunately, he heard several teammates saying that they were scared just now, and he felt much more comfortable.

He just felt a sense of oppression, not scared! This kind of thing must be explained clearly, the difference is huge!

Moreover, the competition on the court is basketball! Even Bill Laimbeer is an All-Star player and the rebounding leader.

Arenas looked at the rookie who sat on the bench opposite him after entering the game, and cursed again.

When the rookie looked towards them, Arenas had already assumed a arrogant posture, but the rookie's eyes did not stay on him for even a second!

Although he is said to be very talented and was lucky enough to score 52 points in a single game, isn't he just a rookie who averages less than 15 points per game? He wants to beat this rookie!

…

Liu Xiu's attention was not on Arenas.

If he competes with Arenas in terms of strength, then he is naturally...far behind.

Only two months older than Liu, Arenas already has an ability rating of 84, which is close to the level of a first-class star.

When fighting on the court, just try your best to deal with it, he is very good at pressing.

It would be better if you can learn something.

But he doesn't want to have any interaction with Arenas off the court, so other than the game, he has no interest in Arenas.

What he is more curious about is the opposite No. 1 pick Kwame Brown...

"Kwame Brown, 21 years old, 211 cm, 118 kg, C/PF, ability evaluation 76, offense 67, defense 84, three-pointer -, mid-range shot -, layup 88, speed 84, strength 93, jumping 94,

Flexibility 88...averaging 10.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game..."

Liu Xiu's mouth twitched as he looked at it, "This physical condition is like a joke."

The last big man he saw with such speed, strength, and bounce was named Tim Duncan.

'A 21-year-old center with no skills and physical fitness can average 10+7 per game. He was not popular in the first two years. At this age, he can still have close to first-class defense. This is much better than Jordan.

!

At the age of 22, Jordan averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds per game and seemed to have received an annual contract worth tens of millions. Looking at this performance, the number one draft pick seems to have worked hard after Boss Joe retired. Why has he become more and more unlucky in the future... Uh, I almost forgot.

, Two years after Boss Qiao retired, the parallel import champion met a man who was more domineering than Boss Qiao...'

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu no longer felt strange.

Really, why should high school students embarrass high school students, and why should little hands embarrass little hands?

Liu Xiu sympathized with the high school boy with small hands for three seconds, and at the same time silently condemned the high school boy with small hands for three seconds.

Liu Xiu glanced at the entire opposing team. Arenas, Stackhouse, and Larry Hughes. This outside trio is very difficult to deal with!

After paying attention to the opponent he was interested in, Liu Xiu put his thoughts away, reviewed the scouting report and the information he found, waited for the game to start, and prepared for the game through the actual situation of the game...

At this time, the system prompt came!

"Two counterattack geniuses in people's eyes are standing on the court to face off for the first time in their careers. Neither one is willing to give in... Mission: The cross sword is triggered immediately."

"Heng Dao immediately:

Goal 1: The host needs to ensure that the player with the highest score in the game is on the host's team.

Goal 2: At least three of the five host statistics including points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks are higher than or equal to Gilbert Arenas.

Goal 3: Win the game.

Reward: 1.3000 healing value, 2. Start subsequent tasks.

Failure Penalty: For each failed goal, the host will have a season of extreme slump against Gilbert Arenas."

"..." Liu Xiu looked at the mission that suddenly came out. He was silent for a while and said: "You are riding a horse, when did I not want to give in!"

The little flying squirrel sitting next to Liu Xiu heard the word again and asked a question: The warden likes tomatoes very much?

Back then, Little Flying Squirrel was also the most popular player in this city, with the height of an ordinary person and close to All-Star level strength.

But since Sean Kemp came to their team, everything has changed. The little flying squirrel has been hanging out with Kemp, from on-field performance to off-field news, and has become hated by everyone.

Last season, some media interviewed on the streets of Portland and found out that Trail Blazers fans ranked first among the players on the team they hated most.

At that time, he no longer cared about what the fans thought of him. By the preseason stage of this season, all he cared about was whether he could get a contract extension. He didn't want his position to be taken away, and he wanted good data...

Now, he has rediscovered his love for basketball, enjoying the game and the cheers of the fans.

His data dropped to the worst of his career this season, but his reputation has improved a lot, and he has won the love of the new generation of Trail Blazers fans.

But he didn't participate in such a lively event these days!

He regrets it now. If he had known that he would have a good relationship with Liu Xiu from the beginning, he would be able to enter the core circle of the "Rose Bay Seven" and be among the first to appear. Then he would be the "Eight"...

…

…

The Trail Blazers fielded a lineup of Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

After more than a month, the outlaws got another chance.

The Wizards fielded a lineup of Arenas, Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown, and Brandon Haywood.

At 7:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. The Trail Blazers faced the Wizards at home... Tianzun lost the jump ball!

Kwame Brown knocked the ball away from Tianzun's head! The Wizards attack first!

Kwame Brown's jumping speed and height reminded the old fans at the scene of the Spurs' recently retired No. 1 pick, with his center body and guard's jumping ability.

The Trail Blazers have good retreat discipline, retreating steadily and falling into positional defense.

The Wizards' first offensive tactic was Arenas's single.

Jeff McGinnis pressed up on Arenas when he was close to the three-point line and kept bumping into Arenas with his body.

This is different from what Arenas knew when he was preparing for the game, but he will not be timid. Instead, he will become more excited because of the constant collisions.

Arenas cross-stepped and changed direction, made a strong burst, pulled horizontally, accelerated again, and took one step inside the free throw line to make a sudden stop jumper... Tianzun's defense was in place, and Arenas made a sudden stop jumper!

Randolph protected the defensive rebound. When the Trail Blazers attacked, the Twin Towers made another contribution. Tianzun came out to catch the ball and hang the basket.

Kwame Brown was taken out by Tianzun, and Randolph turned around and hit a small hook under Haywood's defense.

When the Wizards attacked, the person holding the ball changed, and Stackhouse received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt for singles.

The Wizards' opening tactic saw the three stars on the outside taking turns playing singles, with both centers attacking the offensive rebounds.

When playing in isolation, if you encounter a double team, if the passing opportunity is good, pass the ball; if not, play alone to the end.

This really relies solely on the individual abilities of the three major stars to play the game.

The Trail Blazers use a team offensive tactic in which Randolph initiates the offense from the low post and Tianzun supports the ball distribution from the high post.

In terms of coordination, the Trail Blazers are much stronger. The two-tower-centered play is theoretically more stable when the team's three outside stars take turns playing singles.

But the Wizards' twin towers composed of two defensive centers measuring a few meters each created a big problem for the Trail Blazers' twin towers.

Randolph can still score relatively stably inside, and Tianzun can only pull out to find opportunities for support.

Fortunately, Haywood could not expand to defend, Tianzun pulled out, and Kwame Brown was brought out. Randolph stood firm inside, and Travis Outlaw cut in to compress the outside players and defend inside. Tianzun, Jay

Husband McGinnis and Reuben Patterson have more outside shooting opportunities.

But under such circumstances, the Trail Blazers could barely maintain stability on the offensive end and were unable to achieve an offensive climax.

However, the Wizards' three outside stars were capable enough to last until 3 minutes and 41 seconds of the first quarter. Arenas made a sudden stop and then stepped back to hit a three-pointer. 11 to 10, the Wizards overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point.

Maurice Cheeks called a timeout with a headache! As soon as the timeout sounded, he saw Liu Xiu immediately stood up and took off his training clothes, and he was immediately happy.

Are you really afraid that I won't replace you?

According to usual rotation habits, he usually replaces Liu Xiu after the official timeout.

It is not uncommon to call a timeout at this time, but most of the time it is to adjust the lineup and play style, rather than changing the play style and making a wide range of rotations.

But this time he is indeed going to do a large-scale rotation. I can only say that this guy's ability to judge the situation is too good.

…

The Trail Blazers made personnel adjustments, and the combination of Damon Stoudemire, Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace was replaced.

Liu Xiu looked to the opposite side, who also made personnel adjustments.

The combination of Brevin Knight, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Kwame Brown and Haywood came on the field.

"Damon, look, there's someone opposite you who seems to be shorter than you!"

Little Flying Squirrel clenched his fists. He felt that it was not his fault that he did not have a good relationship with Liu Xiu at the beginning. It was the rookie who really owed it!
