After the game, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Clippers 113-94, and Liu Xiu received a system prompt.

In the game against the Clippers, he didn't play much time. He played earlier than the previous game, but played less time. The main reason was that his performance was not as amazing as the previous game, with 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 rebounds.

The assists were in line with his expectations for his performance.

Big Q's special skill, Liu Xiu didn't expect it to be quick shooting... He has an excellent talent and can maintain stability in quick shots, but it is of no use to him.

If there is a chance to play better, give it a try; if there is not such a good chance, be patient and accept that you are still a mediocre player.

But this game still left Liu Xiuyou with the same doubts as the previous game - 'Maggette and Malone are equally rated? The 40-year-old Malone seems to be better...'

After thinking about it, he found that he couldn't figure it out, so Liu Xiu chose to put this matter aside.

Anyway, if you don’t understand something, don’t waste your brain cells in vain.

Liu Xiu was about to go back to the locker room, take a shower, do physical therapy, and accept an interview... The system prompt came.

"Healing value +39, from Chris Kaman."

‘?’

The game is over, now give a wave of healing value?

Liu Xiu turned to look at the opposite bench. Kaman was walking towards the opposite players' tunnel.

'Kaman is such a spirited young man with long hair!'

Kaman happened to look back at Liu Xiu, looked at each other, turned around and left silently.

They had played against each other in the summer league before and after greeting each other, Kaman was asked a question that drove him crazy - 'Have you ever thought that one day you would be bald?'

The relationship is definitely not good, but apart from this, there is nothing else.

Now, Kaman is quite envious of Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's performance was ordinary, but the coach of the opposite Trail Blazers was very happy. Even if he played more than ten minutes and made more mistakes than assists, he would not be scolded. He only had to do the basic things well.

And as the sixth overall pick, as the center selected with the highest overall pick in the 2003 class, he must perform well. For his sake, the Clippers refused to give Olowokandi a three-year, $15.5 million mid-level contract.

Let Olowokandi sign with the Timberwolves...it puts even more pressure on him.

Although Olowokandi is in trouble, the 28-year-old Sugar Man averaged 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game last season. There is no problem in being a qualified starting center.

The Clippers seem to have a lot of stars, but their overall strength is poor and anyone may be given up.

For a team like this, as a high-ranking rookie, he will definitely get a lot of opportunities.

Kaman played 31 minutes tonight and scored 12 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, which is pretty good.

However, Kaman envied Liu Xiu who was not under too much pressure.

…

After two home preseason games, the Trail Blazers got three days of rest to make adjustments.

On October 16th, the Trail Blazers left Portland and came to Seattle. At 8 pm on October 17th, they challenged the SuperSonics away from home at Key Arena.

Originally, the match between Liu Xiu, the 13th pick in the first round, and Nick Collison, the 12th pick in the first round, was somewhat of a spectacle. However, Nick Collison's shoulder injury recurred during the summer league and he suffered a rotator cuff problem.

Now, I have to rest for 10 to 15 months, and my rookie season will be reimbursed directly.

This made Ray Allen almost depressed.

After entering the stadium, in front of the Trail Blazers bench.

"Derek, do you know the man across from you?"

"Yes, I was in the same class as him, and he and I were teammates in the past two seasons."

"Teammate? Why do I look at you and want to bite him?"

"..."

Looking at the basic skills teacher's round face, he said, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed."

"Antonio Daniels, 28 years old, 4th overall pick in the first round of 1997, PG/SG, 193 cm, 89 kg..."

Liu Xiu looked at the player detection report of the opposing point guard who was going to start tonight, thought about it, and understood.

'Even though we are enemies in the same class, we can't become brothers even if we are teammates... As expected of this era.'

Liu Xiu took a look at the career data of the two...

'It seems that the basic skills teacher should have been focusing on this 4th overall pick from the beginning of his career. It seems that the basic skills were once the strongest point guard in the 1997 class. Bobby Jackson and Flounder have only developed them in the past two years...

The basic skills teacher is also concerned about this. I wonder if he would be so excited to beat Billups. It seems that he can't beat Billups now.'

The game was about to start. Liu Xiu put away his divergent thinking and concentrated, looking forward to the start of the game. He was ready to study the game and understand what he needed to do in tonight's game.

Tonight, Damon Stoudemire's face is green, but this time it has nothing to do with Liu Xiu - Derek Anderson was put into the starting lineup!

Although it is only a preseason game, it can illustrate something - even if Damon Stoudemire recovers from his injury, he is no longer locked in as the Trail Blazers' starting point guard.

This is a pretty big blow to Damon Stoudemire.

But it is a huge benefit to Derek Anderson and Jeff McGinnis.

As for Liu Xiu, he doesn't expect to start, or even wants to start.

Sitting on the sidelines first, observing the game, thinking about how to play, and then executing... is what he wants at this stage.

It is developing in a vulgar way, waiting for the opportunity to move.

After 2 hours of play, the Trail Blazers suffered their first defeat in the preseason this season.

The Trail Blazers lost to the SuperSonics on the road 92 to 104.

The rivalry between Derrick Anderson and Antonio Daniels on the court was quite interesting, but it was Ray Allen who stole the show.

Ray Allen made 15 of 26 shots, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 41 points in 32 minutes, allowing everyone present to experience what it means to be the strongest shooter in the world.

The Trail Blazers were defeated early and recovered some points in garbage time later.

In this game, actually the last game against the Clippers, the Trail Blazers coaching staff didn't care about winning or losing. It was completely different from the preseason game against the Lakers, who were making their debut in F4.

At that time, it was all about competing for a spot. Everyone thought they were supporting characters and they wanted to win.

That victory, even if it was just a preseason game, gave the Trail Blazers players a boost of confidence.

The following preseason games are not so important.

I tried to defend, but I didn’t put in too much effort. I rotated when it was time to rotate, and just gave up when garbage time came.

Liu Xiu played the entire game for 15 minutes, but did not play in garbage time. He was replaced by Damon Stoudemire in the final quarter. Damon Stoudemire narrowed the 24-point difference to 12 points in the final quarter.

Contest.

Kevin Plitchar found him specifically when entering the final quarter and told him that the characteristics of his playing style were not suitable for playing and leveling in garbage time, so he was not replaced.

Liu Xiu was a little depressed at first about this operation. After hearing the explanation, he felt that he had done a good job. However, he did not expect that the chief assistant coach took the initiative to find him to explain this matter.

It's not about being humble, just telling him literally.

But this is already a signal - the coaching staff is really cultivating him, even taking these details into consideration.

…

The game against the Sonics was the beginning of three consecutive away games for the Trail Blazers. The two consecutive away games were played every other day, so I became familiar with the feeling of consecutive away games during the season.

On October 19, the Trail Blazers came to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away from home. The Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Jazz 95-87, bringing their preseason record to 3 wins and 1 loss.

Rasheed Wallace and Kirilenko performed well tonight. Rasheed Wallace had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, and Kirilenko had 8 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

Liu Xiu played 26 minutes and scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. His steady play style and reasonable distribution of the ball gave him another chance to play at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. Damon Stoudemire

I gave you a full healing value of 99...

In this game, Liu Xiu played a lot of time, and his position was not all point guard. He occasionally played with Derek Anderson or Jeff McGinnis.
