904. Let a hundred flowers bloom, number one on both lists

Although our team members have strong psychological qualities, they still have to pay attention to this aspect.

But in the final quarter, the Jazz's defensive efforts were only on par with the Trail Blazers, with both teams scoring 23 points.

Liu Xiu made 15 of 29 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 43 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in a single game. He led the Trail Blazers to suppress the Jazz for a whole game.

Defeated the Jazz 109 to 98 and won!

Although the data is not included in the career statistics and is only a preseason game, the data is full of gold.

The two teams really treated this game as an official game.

Paul looked at his statistics of 22 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, and then looked at Liu Xiu...

He doesn't know why, but it's always easier for him to notice his progress when facing Liu Xiu.

He made 7 of 13 shots, with a hit rate of over 50% and a score of 20+5+10. This was the first time he had such a score when facing Liu Xiu.

Thinking about it this way, the pain of losing dissipated a lot. After all, it was just a preseason game.

On the Trail Blazers side, the four new players were shocked.

On the one hand, it was the first game that Liu Xiu played seriously, and he directly had a 40+ triple-double.

There is also the accustomed attitude of the old team members...

Hill was so excited that he was shaking.

That’s it!

In the eyes of the fans, the Trail Blazers are an invincible dynasty team. They have retained 11 players from last season. The core is at its peak and will definitely be the strongest in the new season... But as a veteran, Hill, who won the Western Conference Finals last season,

The other team, the Suns, is the team with more championship potential in the Western Conference.

But even with this judgment, Hill still chose the Trail Blazers because of Liu Xiu!

But after he came to the Trail Blazers, there were still many things he didn't understand.

Now he finally understood why the coaches and teammates didn't care much about Liu Xiu's out-of-shape figure and rising body fat rate...

…

There was little movement in the first 7 preseason games, and then it went crazy in the 'regular season preview game'.

Even if you are not a fan of Liu Xiu, you will feel heartbroken when you see Liu Xiu's statistics this time.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until the regular season to break out, a 40+ triple-double!

After the preseason, the Trail Blazers have a day off.

On the 28th and 29th, two days of targeted training were conducted to address the problems encountered in the pre-season.

On October 30th, the first match day of the 2007-2008 season arrived.

Today, there is something that Liu Xiu is very concerned about.

This matter is now attracting much attention.

ESPN team rankings top 3 and player rankings top 10!

Yesterday, the team rankings ranked 4th and the player rankings ranked 20th to 11th were announced.

The Spurs are ranked 4th in the team rankings.

The unlucky guy who missed out on the top 10 spot in the player rankings is Kidd.

In the 2005-06 season, Kidd was still the favorite for MVP. Two years have passed, and time has been cruel.

This means that the media no longer regards Kidd as a top-level star.

The Trail Blazers have been shortlisted for the top 3 team rankings. In terms of player rankings, except for Liu Xiu, everyone else has been announced.

Ray Allen ranked 15th, Randolph ranked 20th, and Kwame Brown ranked 29th.

Four players rank in the top 30 in the league, and the Trail Blazers are the only one on ESPN's list this time.

The closest ones are the Spurs and Suns. Duncan is in the top 10, Parker is 21st, Ginobili is 24th, and Bowen is 39th; Nash is in the top 10, Little Bully is 13th, and Marion is 39th.

18 people.

At noon, ESPN's official website announced the final rankings.

The teams ranked in the top 3, the Trail Blazers ranked 1st, the Bulls ranked 2nd, and the Suns ranked 3rd.

Player rankings, 1st Liu Xiu, 2nd James, 3rd Kobe, 4th Garnett, 5th Duncan, 6th Nash, 7th Yao Ming, 8th Wade, 9th

Named Tracy McGrady, No. 10 Milicic.

Who are the top 10? After the announcement of the 20 to 11, it has already caused controversy.

No. 11 Kidd, No. 12 Dirk Nowitzki, No. 13 James Wong, No. 14 Artest, No. 15 Ray Allen, No. 16 O'Neal, No. 17 Iverson, No. 18

Named Marion, No. 19 Anthony, No. 20 Randolph.

There are expectations for progress, there are expectations for regression, and there are inherent biases against Nowitzki, Anthony and others... But overall, it's pretty reasonable.

But looking at the top 10 that had just been announced, Liu Xiu felt that his credibility had plummeted.

But it’s not important! He is No. 1, that’s enough!

And it's very interesting.

Did Kobe fly into a rage when he saw James, or did Duncan fly into a rage when he saw Garnett?

Or maybe 24 and 21 both went berserk when they met 23?

As for the warden who is ranked first, he may be the one who is criticized by everyone... Does this matter?

He already received this kind of treatment last season, and any more hatred will not weigh him down.

Looking at the 20 players outside Parker, Xiao Cannon, Xiao Pang, Arenas, Billups, Bosh, Howard, Boozer, Carter, Ginobili... and so on, each one has its own characteristics.

, outstanding strength...

Liu Xiu feels that he is so happy to play in this era where stars are blooming!

…

Liu Xiu took a nap in the afternoon, but there were still lawless gangsters guarding the door.

After getting up and washing his face, he went to pick up his family.

Everyone must be watching tonight’s game together.

Compared to Anne Hathaway who can't lie down, Liu Xiu's aunt is very comfortable during confinement. But like Anne Hathaway, her aunt only rests for a few days and is purely enjoying being taken care of by her family.

feeling.

Tonight is the opening game after the Liu Xiu Dynasty. My aunt got up decisively, freshened up, and came to watch the game with her family.

After taking his family to a VIP lounge, Liu Xiu returned to the training ground and had dinner with the outlaw and Randolph. After eating for a while, he began to warm up and prepare for the game.

During this period, Liu Xiu heard his teammates discussing the matter of "double ranking first".

This list is very popular now, but it was not that popular at the beginning, and it was also suppressed by other media. Other media did not recognize ESPN's detailed rankings, and they all laughed at how the strength of the players could not be easily stated clearly.

But that’s what the fans do!

As the rankings were released and some popular players were announced, fans spontaneously discussed the matter on major forums, and the popularity became more and more intense... At that time, I was not able to follow ESPN to publish the rankings immediately.

The media alone regretted it.

I didn't eat any meat this time, so I'll have to drink soup and chew the bones from now on.

However, the unsatisfied media did not make things easier for ESPN. In the afternoon, all major sports media were criticizing ESPN and guiding public opinion. The main points of criticism were these two - James ranked second, and Garnett

Ranked higher than Duncan.

O'Neal was only ranked 16th, which also made many people dissatisfied. There are still many people who are looking forward to the Sharks.

This doesn't matter to the Trail Blazers players, they think the same as Liu Xiu, as long as they are the first.

As the warm-up came to an end, Liu Xiu clearly felt that his teammates were getting more and more restless and a little uneasy.

I can understand that there are many stars, bigwigs from all walks of life, celebrities and ladies in the arena today.

Tonight's game has also gathered the attention of all basketball fans... because the NBA has only scheduled one game tonight, which is the real-opening game!

The Trail Blazers are naturally one of the two sides in the league's opening game, and their opponent is...the Oakland Warriors!
Chapter completed!
