474. The little melon who is always working hard

Others did not regard this game as a game where he could possibly score 40+ points in a single game, but he felt that he could do so tonight.

Moreover, what he is looking forward to is not just tying up with Kobe... The miracle of 40+ points in 9 consecutive games cannot be achieved this year, but 40+ points in a single game more than 19 times this season is indeed a very good opportunity.

However, he was quite surprised to score 43 points in the third quarter.

He found that the Jazz's defense was actually not as strong as imagined.

The discipline is very good, the skills are very good, and the coordination is very good, but the defense is not aimed at winning, and there is always something missing.

Even if they really encounter a strong opponent, they still can't defend themselves.

Liu Xiu is extraordinarily strong now. He does not count defense or performance evaluation, but only evaluates his ability with 92 based on physical fitness, technique, and basic skills!

Also, he is in really good shape tonight. The last back-to-back game against the Clippers made it especially easy for him and his teammates to adapt to this kind of high-intensity defensive battle recently.

This game was not broadcast live, so there was no on-site interview, but the fans were very enthusiastic. After the game ended for a while, many people stayed in the field and shouted Liu Xiu's nickname.

Liu Xiu waved to the fans who had not yet left and was about to leave... Hey, he saw his good brother Anthony!

By the way, tomorrow’s back-to-back opponents are the Nuggets. It seems that Brother Dong sent him an email yesterday, and he replied to the email. He sent a text message to the vice president for the tickets, but when he got busy, he gave Brother Dong to

Forgot.

Liu Xiu waved to Anthony excitedly.

Anthony waited for a while, and the bastard finally noticed him. He tilted his neck, shook his head, and turned around to leave.

A question mark appeared on Liu Xiu's head. After thinking about it, he turned around and left.

Anthony walked a few steps, wondering why he hadn't caught up yet, and no one called his name... was it too noisy?

He turned around and saw Liu Xiu walking into the players' tunnel!

Anthony:(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

…

…

Liu Xiu scored 43 points in three quarters against the Jazz. His total points in 71 games increased to 2,269 points, and his average points per game increased to 31.97 points. The total scoring gap with Iverson narrowed to 25 points.

Iverson cursed when he saw the game report between the Trail Blazers and Jazz - What are the Jazz doing? Are they among the top eight in the league in defensive efficiency?

After cursing, Iverson remembered that when he played against the Jazz, he made 18 of 31 shots and scored 47 points.

This team is well-disciplined, has Kirilenko, and has a few defensive role players. There's really nothing else worth talking about.

When faced with a tough style of play and accurate mid-range shots, the Jazz were beaten every day.

Iverson knew very well that once the Trail Blazers got serious, even if they lost two starters, the Jazz would be doomed.

But even so, Iverson still hated the Jazz and vowed to destroy the Jazz next season.

Regarding the fact that Liu Xiu scored 43 points in three quarters against the Jazz, the way the media reported it was very interesting.

They seemed to have forgotten how good the Jazz's defense was before the game. Liu Xiu would be beaten to death when he met the Jazz. Now they are in hindsight mode, saying that the Jazz's defensive end is deficient in this and other ways, and that the Jazz are only the last in the Western Conference.

Second, Liu Xiu beat the second to last to gain points...many people actually believe this!

But! Liu Xiu’s performance from the beginning of March Madness is obvious to all, and his fans have enough confidence to fight passionately with their anti-fans.

What the outside world says cannot affect what Liu Xiu does, because he has no time to care about those comments. Now, his focus is entirely on his own game. Whether it is face or tasks, he relies on winning games and performing well.

Rather than how to deal with the media.

After playing the Jazz, with less than 24 hours of rest, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home...

…

At 7:10 pm, the Nuggets entered the Rose Garden Arena first.

The substitute teammates went out to line up first, and then the starting teammates came out one by one. Anthony was waiting at the end of the crowd. He was very angry now.

Anthony knew that Liu Xiu was deliberately provoking him and trying to make him angry.

But he had to admit that his good brother's plan succeeded!

When he gets angry, it's quite scary. From last night to now, he has been angry all night and day! He didn't even sleep well! He even had dark circles under his eyes!

He swore that this time, he would defeat that bastard!

Thinking of this, Anthony felt heartbroken. He had not beaten Liu Xiu yet... This guy helped him win the Rookie Game MVP!

He did win once against the Trail Blazers. The last time they met, he won at home.

But Liu Xiu was suspended that time, and Anthony was not happy even if he won.

When his name was called, Anthony packed up and ran out of the court.

When he came out of the tunnel, Anthony had only one thought in his mind - this time, he must win... I'm going!

The scene was filled with boos. The sudden surge of boos made Anthony feel his heart tremble.

Last night, he had already experienced the atmosphere of the legendary Rose Bay Devils home court, but at that time he was a spectator, not a Jazz player being targeted. At that time, he just felt that the atmosphere was particularly strong, but now it feels completely different!

The atmosphere at the scene can be described as fanatical!

Moreover, no Jazz star is feared by Trail Blazers fans. For the Jazz, Trail Blazers fans are just hostile to this team.

As for the Nuggets, Trail Blazers fans have a clear target, and that person is Anthony!

Feeling the atmosphere of the scene, Anthony called out to me, "What on earth did his good brother do here?" He unconsciously speeded up as he ran out of the tunnel, but he still tried hard to keep his expression calm and pretend to be calm and peaceful.

The teammates high-fived each other until the spotlight dimmed and the boos subsided.

In the dark, Anthony wiped his sweat. It must be too stressful to play on the road here! He was okay and could handle it, but when he ran out just now, he saw that his teammates were extremely nervous.

He somewhat admired the Jazz team last night. Those people seemed to be immune to such a game environment... Oh, by the way, the former Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Arena was also the home of the Devils.

When it was the turn of the home team players to enter the arena, the on-site DJ turned on the rapper mode, and started to practice the basic skills of quick talking...

Anthony, who was psychologically shocked and shocked by the Rose Bay Devils' home game, calmed down when he saw Liu Xiu running out with his teammates.

The manic cheers at the scene could not affect Anthony's determined heart.

He was not originally a very strong person, nor was he very eager to achieve anything. But during his college year, he was infected by Liu Xiuna's basketball attitude of enjoying the game and eager to challenge stronger players, and his mentality also changed.

Gradual changes... these are just an introduction. The most important thing is that after entering the NBA, Anthony initially wanted to make a name for himself, and then let the team trade Liu Xiu back, and continue to fly with his good brother. As a result, Liu Xiubi

He took off earlier!

This deeply stimulated Anthony. Every time they played against each other, his unwillingness would motivate Anthony and make him more eager to make progress!

…

Anthony was determined enough not to be affected by the Devils' home game, but his teammates were not.

For the youth of the Nuggets, who have not yet officially won the title of "strong team", facing the 58-20 Trail Blazers, facing such a game environment, their mentality has been greatly affected.

Corresponding to mentality is strength.

Anthony has averaged 25.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game so far this season, ranking among the league's first-tier players.

But his teammates weren't as good.

Kenyon Martin, who was brought in with the maximum salary, is their second best player. I can't even say it's bad. It's not a garbage contract. He has good strength. However, compared with the all-round decline when he was with Kidd last season, this all-round

He is really all-round. Last season he averaged 16.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. This season he averaged 15.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game.

After the game started at 8 p.m., the Nuggets' performance was obviously not as good as when they played here during the All-Star weekend.

Anthony turned on Lu Bu mode again, shooting 11 of 23 from the field, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 33 points, plus 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks.

But apart from him, no other Nuggets player scored 15 points. Counting him, there were only 4 players who scored in double figures. The Nuggets team only scored 95 points.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu encountered the Nuggets' high-speed rotation defense and started playing without the ball. This defense reminded him of the Timberwolves, so he played in a different way.

Facts have proved that he was right to change his approach. Tonight he continued his hot touch from last night, making 15 of 27 shots, including 5 of 12 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, soaring 41 points!

Relying on Liu Xiu's off-ball play, the Trail Blazers played very well offensively tonight.

Randolph, who returned, scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, the Flying Squirrel had 12 points and 6 assists, Payton had 6 points and 5 assists, and Raheem had 11 points and 5 assists. Four players of the Trail Blazers had at least 5 assists.

The team got 31 assists!

With 27 points in the first quarter, 28 points in the second quarter, 26 points in the third quarter, and 25 points in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers steadily defeated the Nuggets 106-95!

…

The moment the final whistle sounded, the fans at the scene burst into wild cheers again.

Winning three consecutive victories, the record improved to 59 wins and 20 losses, tying the best record in the new century in the 1999-00 season!

There are 3 games left to play, and the last game is the Lakers with Kobe reimbursed. In the eyes of Trail Blazers fans, 60 wins have been achieved!

I don’t know if it will be 60 wins or 61 wins in the end. It would be better if we can get 62 wins. The opponents in the next two games are the Suns and the Mavericks... Don’t tell me, I saw the numbers 16 and 18 previewed on the big screen.

In these two home games, even the Blazers fans who are already in high spirits have to calm down.

The Suns, currently with 63 wins and 16 losses, can be said to be ranked first in the league; the Mavericks, just tonight, have won 15 consecutive games, with 61 wins and 18 losses... Trail Blazers fans think that 60 wins is already a great result.

Yes, why ask for so much?

Ever since, with two home games still to be played, the cry of "Beat-LA" rang out from the Rose Garden Arena...

In addition to the stable 60 wins, Liu Xiu also has two consecutive 40+ games, and the number of 40+ times this season has increased to 18! The number one in active service is basically stable! Part of the call for 'Beat-LA' is because of this.

The guy currently ranked No. 1 is a Lakers player!

As for the opponent the Nuggets just defeated tonight, after sealing the victory, the fans at the scene no longer care about this opponent.
Chapter completed!
