Chapter 937: 937. The Strongest Team

Randolph and Liu Xiu are so different in personality, outlook on life, etc., but they can get along because Liu Xiu doesn't blindly instill his ideas into Randolph.

Regarding each other's different understandings of certain things, the two of them would not want each other to think the same way as they did. Most of the time, the two of them have a relationship as ordinary colleagues in the United States and do not talk in private.

But only when both parties have similar interests, such as complaining about something, playing games, eating delicious food, and training, can they get together.

Now, the two of them can't stand the Celtics together, and they both feel good about complaining about it.

Having a bad reputation can sometimes be beneficial.

Like this time when Randolph was fighting with others, the media and fans thought it was normal.

Coupled with the fact that the other party arrogantly made racial slurs in front of the camera, the league did not stand up and say a word. The lawyer was very sure that the other party would not even have to file a lawsuit, and this matter would be over.

Liu Xiu learned something very interesting from the team's lawyer - Boston's local laws rank among the nation's most severe in punishing racially discriminatory words and deeds, and its anti-racial discrimination publicity activities and financial investment rank first in the nation.

Perhaps the people who have the most enjoyable life in Boston are the people in the Anti-Racism Association.

Taking money from racist people and enjoying the respect of those who are discriminated against.

During the two-day break, the Trail Blazers rested for a day and a half. On the afternoon of the 14th, they went to the United Center Arena for an afternoon of preparation training.

Moreover, the training is mainly focused on meetings and tactical movement training, with little intensity.

On the 15th, at 7 a.m., Liu Xiu woke up on time. After extracting the simulation training results, the system prompt came.

"Congratulations to the host for improving the pick-and-roll with the ball from 89 to 90, reaching the top level."

Another top-notch technology!

After half a season, Liu Xiu has made rapid progress in many aspects.

The pick-and-roll with the ball has reached the top, and the application of pick-and-roll technology has also reached 84, which is only one drop away from the top level.

The biggest improvement is shooting after dribbling, which has been improved to 92.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. During the pre-match preparations in the morning, he was particularly enthusiastic, and his teammates were also encouraged. After two days of rest, everyone is in good spirits and performed quite well in the preparation stage.

This game has attracted a lot of attention. From the media's enthusiasm, Liu Xiu feels that this game is one of their most watched games in North America so far this season.

The overall Christmas game with the Pistons attracted the most attention, and was even more popular than today, but more than half of the media came from domestic and Asian countries and regions.

At 7:40 pm, amidst the manic boos of the United Center fans, Liu Xiu led his teammates and ran onto the court.

Liu Xiu seemed to be able to feel three looks that wanted to cut him into pieces...

This game has attracted so much attention. In addition to the showdown between the champion and the runner-up, the feud between Liu Xiu and Garnett, there is also a more hot topic——

The three players most hostile to the Warden in the league gathered in Chicago!

Liu Xiu has feuds with many stars, such as Kobe, Nash, Duncan, James, Iverson... But with these people, there are hostile aspects, but there are also friendly aspects.

Just like with Kobe, we are both enemies and friends.

In private, Iverson was a generous big brother in front of Liu Xiu.

In addition to being an LSP, Nash treats Liu Xiu well in other aspects.

Duncan likes to show off his collection in private, but everything else is fine and there is not as much hostility as there is on the court.

James is also very proactive and friendly in private...

Even Artest didn't say anything bad about Liu Xiu in private. If he didn't win the fight, he didn't win.

But Hinrich, Pierce, and Garnett were different. They never had a good attitude toward Liu Xiu on or off the court.

When Liu Xiu won the MVP for the first time two years ago, some good media ranked the "stars who hate the Warden the most", and these three brothers ranked among the top three.

Pierce, a veteran star who was almost fooled by the Celtics management, took the initiative to leave the team. In an interview, he bluntly said that he just wanted a chance to defeat Liu Xiu.

Then the home team Bulls entered the stadium, and amid the cheers of the fans, the five-man team of Hinrich, Sefolosha, Okur, Pierce, and Garnett came on the stage.

Liu Xiu took a breath after seeing this lineup.

Defensive evaluation.

Hinrich 92, the best defensive level, the team's performance is good enough to attack the first defense.

Sefrosa 82 is a rising wing defensive genius. His single defense ability is currently insufficient, but he is very good at switching pick-and-rolls, shrinking, and covering defense. He is extremely suitable for the Bulls' high-speed rotation defense system.

Pierce is 84. He is excellent in top defense, can switch to defend the inside, and has strong shooting interference ability.

Garnett 100, the league's top defensive master, is expected to defend the DPOY title.

Okur has a defense of 86, top-notch rim protection, excellent top defense, full defensive enthusiasm, and an inside barrier behind Garnett.

In terms of the substitute lineup, there are rookies Corey Brewer, Nocioni, Terrence Thomas, Duhon, Aaron Gray, Webber...

"Chicago Bulls, 30 wins and 7 losses, averaging 96.5 points per game, conceding 89.6 points per game, shooting 47.1% from the field, limiting opponents to 41.6% from the field..."

Destroy it!

Liu Xiu wants to kick his son!

This year, there are still teams that average less than 90 points per game.

For teams that "go against the trend", people's attention is all on the Pistons. In fact, the Bulls are the real ones that "go against the trend."

It's just that the Bulls played like this after acquiring Garnett last season, and they played even more aggressively this season. It's not as different as the Pistons in the two seasons.

However, seeing such a strong Bulls team, Liu Xiu was quite relaxed.

It's a competition, it's over!

After 14 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers have only 3 wins and 4 losses in the past 7 games.

Liu Xiu was quite anxious at first. Although he always maintained a calmness that could make the coaches angry when communicating with the coaching staff, but after 2 wins and 3 losses, he was also quite panicked.

Numbers like 5, 10, 15... will be regarded as a small stage.

But after 3 wins and 4 losses, he calmed down.

They started with 9 wins and 7 losses and are now 26 wins and 11 losses, which is already very good.

He maintains a high morale as soon as he steps onto the court and drives his teammates along.

After marveling at the opponent's defensive strength, he also recalled the Bulls' weaknesses that were discussed in the preparation meeting.

Hinrich had the defect that his ambition was greater than his strength.

Sefolosha basically has no offensive ability, a weakened version of Tony Allen, with only the advantage of running fast on counterattacks.

Pierce is easily distracted, claiming to be the strongest small forward in the universe, and boasting that no one can be his opponent in a one-on-one.

Garnett was very ineffective offensively at critical moments.

Okur's technical hesitation is insufficient in physical condition and he lacks strong scoring methods.

The mentality of "showing off", coupled with the fact that you have studied your opponent well enough to know the opponent's weaknesses, although many of the weaknesses cannot be exploited, but if you think about it this way, you feel that the opponent is nothing more than that.
