Chapter 826 826. Three consecutive months are the best!

David Stern is a direct threat, asking Anthony to be honest.

In this brawl, the four major evil teams in the league were really beaten.

Portland Prison, Detroit Bad Boys, New York Nursing Homes, Denver Miners...

On January 31, the last day of the month, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home.

Four starters of the Nuggets are suspended. Iverson, Anthony, Nene, Camby, and Kenyon Martin are out for the season. JR Smith and Reggie Evans from the bench are suspended. Those who can play can fight.

, almost all of them are banned.

The Trail Blazers dominated the Nuggets throughout the game, 33 to 13 in the first quarter and 30 to 28 in the second quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers started to let off steam, reducing the playing time of other main players except Liu Xiu...

Liu Xiu played 33 minutes in the first three quarters, making 16 of 23 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 43 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

The score was 31 to 32 in the third quarter and 23 to 24 in the fourth quarter. In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's third consecutive 40+ game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 117 to 97, improving their record to 36 wins and 11 losses!

As for the Nuggets, there are still 9 games in which both guns are absent at the same time...

…

"Beyond: The Legendary Road Series of Missions.

Host’s 40+ times in a single game: 16 times, Kobe Bryant’s 40+ times in a single game: 14 times…

Mission reward: 1 talent fragment."

After the final whistle sounded, Liu Xiu received a reminder of the progress of the task. With 40+ times, he was two games ahead of Kobe!

After losing to the Hornets on the night of the 28th, he triggered this task and competed with Kobe for 40+ times this season.

He felt that this task was too difficult!

It is true that he has more 40+ times than Kobe, but this is only possible because he has 40+ times 7 times in the last 10 games.

But now that we have overtaken the lead, we may lead until the end!

On the next day, a new month came.

When the Nuggets left Portland and returned to Denver in the morning, the Trail Blazers also left Portland and came to Denver.

This time I chose to go in the morning because I wanted to have more time to adapt to the competition environment at the Denver Plateau.

At noon, Randolph and the Outlaws were also in Liu Xiu's room. The remaining three members of the Rose Bay Seven gathered together to eat lunch prepared by the warden and play games together in the afternoon.

While having lunch, I turned on the TV and watched the live program jointly produced by the NBA and American Cable Sports.

First, the monthly best awards for January were announced.

Rookie of the month.

Eastern Conference: Yog Garbajosa of the Raptors, 15 games, averaging 7.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

West: Brandon Roy of the Timberwolves, 14 games, averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Coach of the Month, Eastern Conference: Raptors’ Sam Mitchell; Western Conference: Spurs’ Gregg Popovich.

Player of the month:

East: Darko Milicic of the Raptors, 10 wins and 5 losses, averaging 16.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 12 wins and 4 losses, averaging 36.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2 steals and 0.56 blocks per game.

Although he expected to win the award, Liu Xiu was still excited after winning the award.

Get 10,000 healing points!

He won the Player of the Month award for three consecutive months. Before him, only Garnett in the 2003-04 season had won the Western Conference Player of the Month award for three consecutive months from December to February.

Liu Xiu became the second player in NBA history to achieve such an achievement!

But this achievement can only be achieved starting from the 2001-02 season. Before the 2001-02 season, the best player in the month was not divided into the east and the west. At that time, let alone three consecutive best months, two consecutive best months

It's a rare thing, sometimes the regular season MVP doesn't necessarily have the best performance in a single month.

For example, in the 1995-96 season, the Bulls' 72-win season, Jordan almost didn't win the Player of the Month award once. The only time he got it was quite controversial. David Robinson actually played a little better that month.

Of course, even if this was a 'restricted achievement in contemporary basketball', Liu Xiu was still very excited. If it were 'restricted', only he and Garnett could achieve it in a few years.

On the other hand, the eastern side is a bit too much.

What about the promise that there will be no internal line in the eastern part?

The best player of the month for three consecutive months was a center, and the three centers each won the best player of the month for three months!

Immediately afterwards, NBA Vice President Stu Jackson began to announce this year's All-Star starting list.

At 12 noon on January 30, the voting ended.

Eastern Conference starters:

Guard: Wade ranked first with 2.21 million votes, Arenas ranked second with 1.53 million votes.

Forward: Garnett ranked first with 2.55 million votes, and James ranked second with 2.39 million votes.

Center: Yao Ming ranked first with 2.19 million votes.

West starter:

Guard: Liu Xiu ranked first with 2.91 million votes, and Kobe was second with 2.39 million votes.

Forward: Anthony ranked first with 2.03 million votes, and Duncan ranked second with 1.81 million votes.

Center: Kwame Brown ranked first with 2.26 million votes.

When the votes for the first and second rounds were announced, Liu Xiu was the top vote-getter, and when the votes for the second round were announced, he was already 300,000 votes ahead of Garnett. This time, he was the sure winner.

When the votes were announced, he received a system prompt that the All-Star starter would be rewarded with 10,000 healing points, and the All-Star vote winner would be rewarded with 20,000 healing points.

During the announcement of the votes, Liu Xiu and others heard a shout from the window not far away, and it was Kwame Brown's voice.

When the league put Duncan and James at the forward position, Kwame Brown already had expectations for the All-Star starter.

In the first and second periods, Kwame Brown was far ahead of the second-placed Wang Zhizhi, so Kwame Brown has been playing harder and harder recently... But after he was actually selected, he was still very excited.

From the league's operation of placing Carter, Tracy McGrady, Duncan, and James at the forward position, Liu Xiu estimated that the league wanted to "promote new players."

Garnett's popularity, once it reaches a team with a good market, it will hit the ticket king.

James, the new generation's most popular king in the Eastern Conference.

Carter is no longer the most popular player on the Pistons. Not to mention stealing the limelight from Yao Ming, Billups' popularity has gradually caught up with Carter's.

McGrady is performing a soap opera with the Nets, and his popularity has not declined, but he has lost the rising popularity in the previous years.

These two cousins ​​are definitely no match for Garnett and James.

But here in the West, Anthony was selected as the All-Star starter, and there were signs of it last season.

Liu Xiu estimated that the league did not expect that Duncan's performance could actually improve at the age of 30, and his popularity could increase again!

The league probably wants to praise Kwame Brown and free up the center position. There are fewer and fewer good centers in the Western Conference.

But I didn’t expect that the Little Bully was so popular that he couldn’t fuck Duncan...

It's just that Anthony has been suspended, and the suspension will not end until March...

Liu Xiu was not curious for long. After the video highlights of the 10 All-Star starters were played, Stu Jackson said: "Carmelo Anthony's suspension will not affect his participation in the All-Star Weekend. Fans who voted for him please

Don't worry..."
