229. Three doubles in three quarters! (5th monthly ticket)(1/2)

The Kings' previous style of play also put the team first, and the core was constantly switching. This is an important feature of the Princeton system's play style.

But there is always a focus.

Moreover, whoever is in poor condition that night will try their best to avoid the situation where they are the main attacking point, and the person in better condition will attack more often.

When they take turns to hit each other, it seems to be the same thing at first, but as they hit each other, the problem becomes apparent.

There is always someone who is not in good condition, and there will always be unexpected situations like Webber being blocked during coordination, which will cause dissatisfaction and affect their planned "rotating core" style of play.

Little by little disadvantages are like snowballs...

When Liu Xiugang guessed this situation, he couldn't believe it.

This is ridiculous!

But after he was convinced, he no longer felt strange.

If this were not the case, how could the Kings be able to play Webber when Bibby, Christie, Peja, Brad Miller, Divac and others were not affected by injuries after Webber returned and the tactical cooperation seemed so good?

A record of 6 wins and 9 losses in 15 games after coming back?

In reality, there will be even weirder situations than expected.

That's the Kings in front of you!

But what does this have to do with his warden?

To choke the opponent?

It's not too late to feel this way again after the opponent is eliminated from the playoffs.

Liu Xiu confirmed that his guess was correct. After being stunned for a while, he stopped caring about it and devoted himself to the game!

In this case, it would be embarrassing if we lost!

After scoring 7 points in the opening game, Liu Xiu was heavily targeted by the Kings.

The Kings used the method of "taking turns to be the core" to ease the conflicts within the team, which was actually very useful. At first, the Kings were not even willing to help each other defensively. After using this method, the defensive end was finally restored.

It is true that after Webber returned, the Kings' defense has become better than before. They lost an average of 99 points per game before and became an offensive team. In recent games, the Kings have averaged 94 points per game, ranking twelfth in the league.

, including the brisk offensive and defensive rhythm, it is already very good, and the efficiency ranks tenth in the league.

This is really difficult to deal with for the Trail Blazers, who are playing at a high pace.

Even if the Kings are this virtuous, relying on their strong stars, good defensive foundation, and tacit defense coordination, it will not be easy for the Trail Blazers to win.

However, after Liu Xiu opened the game with 7 points, the Kings defense was disrupted by him!

In the following time, Liu Xiu scored 5 points and 2 assists.

Relying on 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, Liu Xiu led the team to a score of 27 to 23 in a single quarter!

The Kings actually have no problems on the defensive end, but the contradictions on the offensive end have entered the contradiction snowball mode from the beginning of every game. The problems are getting bigger and bigger.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 21-14 in the first 9 minutes or so, opening the point difference to 11 points in one fell swoop!

But in the last two minutes of the first half, the Kings responded with a 9-3 run, chasing the score to 23-24 in the quarter.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Kings by 5 points, 51 to 46.

Although they still maintained a good lead, Liu Xiu and his teammates learned one thing - the Kings are not completely ruined, and are still in a dangerous stage!

During the nearly three minutes of the game at the end of the second quarter, Liu Xiuyou went to use trash talk to stimulate Bibby or Peja, but they were old and the regular time would be affected. When everyone felt that it was time to fight, his trash talk

The impact is not significant.

But it doesn't matter, under his leadership, his teammates have already shown their best performance tonight!



Back from the halftime break, under the intimidating emphasis of Maurice Cheeks, under the urging of Randolph with spittle, under the shock of the warden's smiling devil... the players of the warden team put the first half

The contempt that had gradually accumulated was put aside.

Go all out and play against the Kings!

However, the Trail Blazers looked too high on the Kings after all.

During halftime, Weber tried to unite the players as the boss...and then started arguing again.

If they could adjust so easily, they wouldn't be 6-9.

They are people! Living people! People with rich and delicate emotions!

No one can stand what the Kings management says and does. Peja and Brad Miller are both on the opposite side of Webber, and Bibby also has this tendency.

The Kings' defense is still difficult to deal with, and they all have the bottom line for playing - professionalism.

However, the performance on the offensive end declined and the shots were not made, which still gave the Trail Blazers a chance.

Maurice Cheeks seized the opportunity, Liu Xiu, Xiao Fei Squirrel, Outlaws, Raheem, and Randolph came on the court, betting that the Kings outside players would not be able to make a shot in the confrontation + internal strife, and they fought back.

!

This time, the bet was right!

Liu Xiu had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Trail Blazers score 34 to 20 in a single quarter!

After three quarters, the score reached 85-66, with the Trail Blazers leading the Kings by 19 points!

Relying on 16 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the first half, Liu Xiu played 32 minutes in the third quarter, scored 25 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and clocked out in the third quarter!

When Liu Xiu was replaced, the fans went crazy!

During March Madness, Liu Xiu stole a lot of the spotlight from the NCAA.

But after March Madness, they naturally felt that Liu Xiu's highlight month was over.

They are looking forward to Liu Xiu defeating Anthony in the last month and becoming the number one contender in the Western Conference for Rookie of the Year.

They feel a lot of pressure. Anthony has averaged 20+ points per game for five consecutive months, and even averaged 25+ points per game in a single month. His performance of 23.4 points per game so far this season is already stronger than Iverson's rookie season.

Anthony also won Rookie of the Month for two consecutive months in January and February, surpassing Liu Xiu twice.

So there is no blind optimism among Trail Blazers fans.

But Liu Xiu's performance tonight has boosted the confidence of Trail Blazers fans!

Triple-double in three quarters!

Who else!



The difference came when Liu Xiu didn't play in the final quarter.

The Kings had fewer core players on the court in the final quarter. Previously, at least three of the four core players were on the court, but the final quarter was almost garbage time, with only Bibby and Brad Miller on the court.

But the Kings still do a good job defensively, which is the foundation for the Kings to remain in the Wild West to this day.

The Trail Blazers used Little Flying Squirrel, Wesley Person, Harrington, Miles, and Ruben Bontje to hold the line in the final quarter, and only scored 16 points in a single quarter.

They played very easily when Liu Xiu was here, but when they came to lead the team themselves, Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Raheem were not here. The little flying squirrel was a bit undisturbed when he met Bibby. There was a guy named Gerald-

Wallace's third-grade water cooler keeper gave an unprepared Harrington a hard time...

This guy named Gerald Wallace made the eyes of a small owner of a newly established team who wanted to watch the Trail Blazers game on a whim!

However, there were no surprises in the result.

Although the Kings scored 25-16 in the final quarter, relying on their lead in the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers still defeated the Kings 101-91 and won their 54th victory of the season, improving their record to 54 wins and 20 losses!

The final whistle sounded, and Liu Xiu was prompted by the system to receive his 11th S-level rating this season!

The fans at the scene were extremely excited and were still shouting Liu Xiu’s nickname after the game.

The reporters arrived very quickly, and there was also a live broadcast on the Imperial TV station tonight, so the interview opportunity was naturally theirs.

Here tonight is my old friend Su Qun, who said: "Congratulations, Jace, on becoming the second rookie in NBA history to get 10 triple-doubles, and the first in modern basketball. How do you feel now?"

Liu Xiu called him an expert!

What comes up is ‘history’ and ‘first person’.

He is a reserved and humble person, and he said modestly: "Thank you, I'm very happy too."

That's it! Well, Su Qun got used to it and continued to ask: "Your performance tonight is still very good, continuing your performance in March. Do you think you can continue to be in this state?"

Liu Xiu responded: "Teacher Su, I did not continue my performance in March."

Su Qun asked this question because he wanted to bring up the next topic - the battle for the best rookie.

But Liu Xiu doesn’t play by the rules!

He acknowledged it and was led by Liu Xiu to ask: "Didn't you continue your performance in March?"

"Yes, March has turned over, a new month is here, and today is just the beginning.

Next, keep your eyes open, Showtime!”
