92. The inevitable situation (8000 words)(1/3)

On November 21st, at 7 pm, the Trail Blazers played against the Bucks at home.

The Bucks are the opponent Liu Xiu wants to play against.

He wanted to see how fast the fastest man in the league was.

pity……

"TJ Ford (injured), 20 years old, 183 cm, 75 kg, PG... played 5 games, averaging 6.8 points, 3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game..."

Liu Xiu looked at Ford who was wearing a suit on the bench opposite and felt a little regretful... He couldn't replicate the talent of the fastest man in the league.

However, even if he copies Ford's talent, Liu Xiu estimates that he will not be able to obtain a complete characteristic-transforming talent. He has also figured out the characteristics copied by this talent. He is a tonnage player and will not turn him into a running and jumping player or a jumping player.

Speedy player.

After the game started, the two teams fought very fiercely.

The Bucks' starting combination of Damon Jones, Michael Reed, Desmond Mason, Tim Thomas, and Joe Smith has extremely fierce offensive firepower!

After three years of training, Reed has become a top scorer this season. He has played 12 games so far this season, averaging 21.5 points per game.

Tim Thomas, an all-around power forward in the 1997 class, is pretty good on both offense and defense. Mainly because he can do everything. In terms of his playing style, he is the bankrupt version of the No. 1 pick in the 1997 class. His shooting range is even wider. His nickname is Old Dog. Kidd scolded him.

He is the most foul-mouthed man in the league.

Because in the playoffs last season, when Tim Toomes was playing against Kenyon Martin, he used vicious words to attack Kenyon Martin, who had a slurred speech. Then Kenyon Martin was diagnosed with speech disorder during the offseason.

This summer, Tim Thomas was also sued by the relevant association. Although it was eventually settled, the locals in Milwaukee couldn't stand it. This season, you can always see 'Fire-Tim' slogans at the Bucks' home games.

It is said that an unnamed man wearing the No. 21 jersey with a paralyzed face stared at these slogans for a long time when the Bucks were playing away from home. He was confused as to why they opened fire on him when he had no grudge against the Bucks...



Putting aside the off-court matters, Tim Thomas is in his prime, coupled with Reid, who has turned his talent into strength at the age of 24, and Damon Jones, who can shoot and pass, the physical fitness and style of the game are amazing.

Desmond Mason, the wild dunk king, and Joe Smith, who is known as the poor version of Garnett with comprehensive skills, these five people performed quite well!

In the early stages, the Bucks still had the upper hand against the Trail Blazers.

However, the Trail Blazers, who were in the midst of a winning streak, had high morale and were not affected by being suppressed at home. Instead, they became more and more courageous!

In the middle of the first quarter, Randolph first scored two points with a low post shot; then followed up on the counterattack of Jeff McGinnis and Rasheed Wallace, scoring two points with a tip-in and causing a

Joe Smith, who came back, fouled and made the extra free throw; before entering the official timeout, Randolph faced the frame at close range and jumped high into the basket... almost showing off to the future three-point king who looks little different from an elementary school student.

What is a real dunk? Unfortunately, he dunked it in the end.

Randolph hit a wave of 7-2 on his own, making the score originally 4 points behind 11-15 into 18-17, leading by 1 point and entering the official timeout.

Scored 10 points in 6 minutes and 55 seconds. Randolph performed very well tonight.

At the rotation stage, the combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Randolph, and Dell Curry came on the court to continue to strengthen the offense.

Liu Xiu copied Reed's talent when he came on the court. He thought it would be related to shooting, shooting-related skills, post-ups, etc., but the result was surprising...

"The Great Magician:

Game status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Zach Randolph…

Opponent: Michael Reed, Feature Transformation Talent: Interception Expert, Bonus Effect: When the host performs a pressing defense, the deterrence given to the opponent is increased, there is a small probability of forcing the opponent to make an uncool choice, and the host's sense of steal is improved

.”

Reid is indeed fierce in defense, he presses well in defense, has good physical fitness, and works hard on the defensive end.

It seems that the aspect that Liu Xiu and Reed are most compatible with is defense... He is a little regretful, but this bonus is still okay. According to the description, the bonus is not strong, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

In the second half of the first quarter, continuing Randolph's fierce performance, the Trail Blazers hit a 13-6 half-quarter climax in more than 5 minutes. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31-23, and the score difference was 31-23.

to 8 minutes.

In the following time, Reid led the team and constantly tried to bring the situation back, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Trail Blazers.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers and Bucks tied the score 22-22. The Bucks started from the defensive end, but the Trail Blazers held on steadily.

In the third quarter, the Bucks wanted to score a lot of points. They shot a lot from the outside and shot pretty well. Tim Thomas, who holds the NBA record for half-time three-pointers, made three three-pointers in a single quarter to help the Bucks.

The team scored 27 points in a single quarter.

But the player with the highest score in this quarter was not Tim Thomas, but Flying Squirrel!

Tim Thomas made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, also scored a layup, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points.

The Flying Squirrel made 5 of 7 shots in a single quarter, two of which were three-pointers, plus 3 of 4 free throws, soaring 15 points in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu got 4 assists in a single quarter, and two of them were passed to the little flying squirrel who caught the ball and made a direct throw, which is equivalent to getting two assists in vain.

Relying on the flying squirrel's 15 points in a single quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 29 to 27 in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the point difference was opened to 10 points. The Trail Blazers led the Bucks by 11 points 82 to 72!

Although the Bucks scored 27-23 in the final quarter, they still failed to complete the comeback.

From the scores in the second and fourth quarters, we can see that the Bucks did a good job defensively; from the scores in the second half, we can see that the Bucks did a good job offensively in the second half.

But! Randolph and Flying Squirrel worked hard in scoring, and the Trail Blazers team worked together to defeat the Bucks 105-99 at home, winning 6 consecutive games and improving their record to 8 wins and 4 losses!

Liu Xiu played 23 minutes tonight, scoring 6 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. He finally encountered a situation that pained him - his score was lower than his rebounds and assists!

But there really weren't many scoring opportunities tonight. He didn't make two three-pointers with wide gaps. Although he shot very decisively, after that, he still appeared less on the outside and looked for more opportunities inside. It's a pity.

From the second quarter onwards, there were no chances.

The highest scoring player in the game was Reed, who played 41 minutes and made 10 of 22 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws to score 30 points.

The second and third highest scorers were both in the Trail Blazers. Randolph scored 26 points and 16 rebounds, Flying Squirrel scored 22 points, followed by Tim Thomas with 18 points, and Tianzun with 12 points and 9 rebounds...



After a wave of 6 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers swept away the haze of 2 wins and 4 losses at the beginning, and rushed to fourth place in the Western Conference with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses!





After the game against the Bucks, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest.

Next, the Trail Blazers will usher in the last home game of the first game month. After this game, the remaining 4 games of the Trail Blazers in November will all be away games.

It also includes an away back-to-back.

So far, the Trail Blazers' schedule can be said to be very easy. They have played 12 games, 9 home games and 3 away games.

The number of home games and away games is the same. There are more home games in the front and more away games in the back.

Generally speaking, players definitely prefer to play games at home.

Even the Blazers players, whose home fans always booed them.

You don’t have to fly, you don’t have to worry about the bed you’re not used to sleeping in... You don’t even have to worry about packing takeout and returning to the hotel too tired to eat in the away game. Playing at home has many, many benefits.

One more home game, and then, from the 26th to the 31st, the Trail Blazers will soon face a wave of 4 consecutive away games in 6 days.

However, right now, the Trail Blazers players don't care at all about the next few games... They will care about it then, but they can't care about it now.

On the rest day on the 22nd, the Trail Blazers still had quite a few players training, mainly young players, and as many as two of the three rookies had additional training.

The one who didn't practice extra also took his sister who was on vacation to the gym in the afternoon, taking the scouting report of the opponent in the next game and studying the video.

On the 23rd, preparation day, this enthusiasm became even higher.

Today's training was filmed by the media, so it was naturally different.

Liu Xiu often teased Jiaqiang before, but now that he has become a player, he has discovered that he seems to have the possibility of becoming a handsome boy on national broadcasts.

The next opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers!

Live broadcast across America!

The third national broadcast of the season, they will not have any national broadcasts this month.

In the first game month, there were three national broadcasts, which was already very frequent. In the following December, if there were no unexpected events, they would not have any national broadcasts.

Don’t care what the media says?

Does that mean you don't care?

There is no way!

People usually don’t report your news. If there are good things, they will never talk about it. Only bad things will be highlighted...

Although you are used to it, who doesn't want to show your strength in front of more people?

This was already the case before Liu Xiu came. When games were broadcast live across the United States, the Trail Blazers always played exceptionally well.

Now Liu Xiu is here and has become a part of the "All American Live Broadcast Pretty Boys"...



On the 24th, after two days of rest, the Trail Blazers' 13th game day of the season arrived.

After the morning pre-match meeting and preparation training, we enter the pre-match rest and independent preparation stage.

Liu Xiu and several teammates were watching the lunch news in the lounge.

Yesterday at noon, the Lakers had arrived in Los Angeles, and the Trail Blazers had the opportunity to catch footage of the Lakers and conduct interviews.

Sure enough, they didn't care what the Trail Blazers players said, the game promotion on the TV station, and the pre-game news reports, all they gave them were a few training shots... Oh, and Liu Xiu was 'lazy' and his teammates practiced extra.

At that time, Liu Xiu took her sister out to buy beautiful clothes.

"What does it mean for me to be lazy? Not practicing more is equal to being lazy? When did I fail to do a good job in the training that the coach arranged for me? Other players did not improve without practicing more, and they may not make as much progress as me if they practice more. This kind of thing is not
