Mutual restraint means that more considerations need to be taken in rankings. The first place in the division no longer necessarily determines the top three. With the change in the rule, pros and cons have also emerged...

This uncontrollable feeling made Liu Xiu uneasy and excited.

It was the follow-up task he was looking forward to regarding the competition for the scoring champion, but it was not triggered immediately.

At noon the next day, he returned to Portland with the team. This time the away game was not consecutive.

After returning home, Liu Xiu came to the training ground excitedly.

Relying on three 40+ points in the past four games, and the fact that Kobe only scored more than 20 points in the past two games, he successfully obtained the Kobe dunk package.

He tried on the Kobe dunk bag, then hung up the LaVine dunk bag and tried it...

After getting the 'Flying Man' buff, he can already use LaVine's dunk bag when dunking, but he has never tried it in the game.

During a counterattack, if there is no one in front of him to defend him, he usually won't dunk.

If someone is chasing him from behind, he will choose to dunk in three quick steps and will not pursue any fancy tricks.

And I want to make a blockbuster success in the slam dunk contest...

Compared with LaVine's dunk bag which is more elegant but lacks practicality, Kobe's dunk bag has much stronger practical attributes.

In particular, those dunk actions that are driven from the baseline are mainly designed to avoid defensive interference, and are both practical and picturesque.

Looking at the bounce that has reached 93, and the bounce speed bonus of the "Little Overlord's Knee Pads", Liu Xiujue thought that it was time to consider the beautiful dunk...

In fact, whether the dunk is picturesque or not is of little use to the game.

But handsome!

…

After two days of rest, on the 22nd and 23rd, the Trail Blazers faced back-to-back home challenges from the Bucks and Timberwolves.

Liu Xiu continues to activate his blood C mode, doing everything he can to get the job done!

Against the Bucks, Liu Xiu played 40 minutes and made 10 of 24 shots, including 0 of 3 three-pointers. In addition, he made 13 of 15 free throws and scored 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals.

In addition to Raheem's 13 points, Randolph's 15 points and 9 rebounds, Ray Allen's 15 points, Kwame Brown's 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks... the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 99-95.

Deer team.

On the 23rd, the Trail Blazers played the Timberwolves back-to-back.

Facing the youth army led by Luol Deng and Roy, the Trail Blazers fell into a tough battle.

Luol Deng made 11 of 23 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in a single game. Roy made 8 of 18 shots and scored 23 points and 4 assists.

Adding to Ricky Davis' 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists... the Timberwolves scored 98 points and tied the score with Roy's single three-pointer with 2.9 seconds left.

However, in the last 2.9 seconds, Ray Allen, who had only made 4 of 10 shots in the previous 26 minutes and made all three three-pointers, took a pass from Liu Xiu and hit a three-pointer with his hands, raising his personal statistics to 13 points.

8 rebounds and 2 assists helped the Trail Blazers defeat the Timberwolves 101-98!

Liu Xiu made 18 of 36 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 43 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists; Randolph made 9 of 23 shots and scored 22 points and 15 rebounds.

The three major players of the Trail Blazers worked together to lead the team to 4 consecutive victories, improving the record to 33 wins and 10 losses!

…

On January 24, the league announced the latest Player of the Week award.

Eastern Conference: Bulls' Kevin Garnett, 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 22.5 points, 10.25 rebounds, 4.75 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game...

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 4 wins and 0 losses, 40.5 points, 9.25 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.75 steals, 0.75 blocks...

Liu Xiu won the 4th Player of the Week award this season!

After winning the award, Liu Xiu left Portland with the team in the afternoon, starting his third consecutive trip.

Even before the third competition month was over, he already won the Player of the Week award 4 times, which was the fastest time for him to win awards.

There were so many things that broke personal records this year. Although Liu Xiu was happy, he was not too surprised.

Because these are refreshed very quickly, and some things are also refreshed very quickly. When he won the scoring title in the 2004-05 season, he had 20 irons in a single game 4 times in a single season. This season, he has only played more than 40 games, and he has already done so 4 times.

Already...

He saw that he had scored 20 irons in a single game eight times in the previous three years in the regular season. This season, he might be one against three...

The Trail Blazers first came to Salt Lake City and challenged the Jazz away at 7 pm on the 25th.

Liu Xiu played 30 minutes and made 11 of 16 shots in the three quarters, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 28 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and clocked out.

Ray Allen scored 15 points and 2 assists, Randolph had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 12 points and 12 rebounds, Blake had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists...

In the end, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Jazz 99-69 and won their 5th consecutive victory!

We were able to win so easily because Paul was injured!

Compared to Bidron, Paul has not made much progress this season. Due to many injuries, he has to miss several days of work every month. Sloan is a coach who cares about the health of his players very much. When he is injured, Paul will be given a rest. In terms of playing time,

Paul averaged 37 minutes per game in his rookie year, but dropped to 32.4 points this season. Therefore, Paul, who averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.2 steals per game in his rookie year, only averaged 17.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game this season...

…

Immediately afterwards, the Trail Blazers came to Memphis in the Southwest Division, and went to FedEx Arena to play the Grizzlies away on the 27th.

The Grizzlies have been extremely poor this season and currently rank last in the Western Conference with 13 wins and 30 losses.

After losing the logo man, Grizzlies fans realized how important the logo man is.

It is true that the logo man missed the warden, but without the logo man, they would not even have a chance to rise.

However, after the game started at 7 p.m., the Grizzlies played extremely well in the first quarter!

Gasol gave Liu Xiu a big block at the beginning, blocking Liu Xiu and the Trail Blazers' first-quarter offensive. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to gain momentum, leading the Trail Blazers by 7 points 28-21 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies continued their efforts. Mike Miller, Gasol, and Eddie Jones all scored 8 points in a single quarter. The Grizzlies once again opened up a 5-point gap at 31-26.

After halftime, the Grizzlies led the Trail Blazers by 12 points 59 to 47!

Back from halftime, the Trail Blazers went wild!

Liu Xiu made 4 of 7 shots and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 15 points in a single quarter; Ray Allen scored two three-pointers, and Kwame Brown made 4 of 4 shots and 3 of 3 free throws to score 11 points...

…The Trail Blazers scored 38-28 in a single quarter!

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers chased the point difference to only two points 85-87!

Being chased by a 10-point deficit in a single quarter, the Grizzlies were stunned for a while. After the start of the final quarter, the Trail Blazers quickly gained the upper hand, overtook the score and took the lead.

However, the Grizzlies felt really good tonight. When the Trail Blazers scored 105-95 and the lead expanded to 10 points, the Grizzlies launched a 16-6 offensive at the end of the fourth quarter.
Chapter completed!
