951. The transformation of King Silver Horn is about to be completed

As the defending champion, Liu Xiu accepted the slam dunk contest. His three opponents were Carter, Howard... and Rudy Gay.

Gay has good physical fitness and his dunks are also good-looking.

But when I saw Guy's name... I felt something strange.

Haven't you seen Nate Robinson reject the invitation?

During the offseason, James was asked about the dunk contest and he said he would definitely participate.

Carter has re-entered the competition, and Liu Xiu really thinks that James might participate.

As a result, this guy is letting his pigeon fly...

Liu Xiu checked the forum, and sure enough, James' release of pigeons in the slam dunk contest aroused heated discussions among fans.

There was a highlighted comment that attracted Liu Xiu's attention, saying that James had stabbed his finger on his left hand not long ago.

What do the left fingers have to do with the dunk contest?

What a big deal! James is left-handed!

The Rockets defended very well. Their new head coach Rick Adelman did not beat Princeton out of this team. This group of people was not suitable for that at all, but the defense reaped the dividends left by Van Gundy Jr.

, the Trail Blazers only scored 19 points in the first and second quarters.

The defense was actually pretty good tonight, but the center position couldn't withstand the impact of Josh Howard, Harris, and Stackhouse. There was nothing we could do about it.

But tonight, under the defense of Liu Xiu and the lawless maniacs, Alston took 9 shots and only made 2 hits, scoring 5 points, 5 assists and 5 turnovers!

Mainly because of Nowitzki, after a few years, this guy seems to have really adjusted!

He was not selected as an All-Star last year. By last summer, Carter had lost most of his endorsements. Hook's Shox VC series was also canceled due to poor sales. Hook no longer made signature shoes for Carter. The sneakers he was responsible for endorsing became basic models.

Affordable shoes.

The backup point guards are Luther Hyde and Aaron Brooks...

Bynum has outstanding talent. As the youngest rookie in NBA history, he just turned 20 at the end of October 2007. He has already averaged 15.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 31 minutes per game.

Granger has strong leadership skills and accurate shooting.

But Nowitzki had 37 points, Josh Howard had 24 points, Terry had 14 points, Stackhouse had 16 points, Devin Harris had 12 points and 10 assists... the Mavericks team scored 126 points!

116 to 126, the Trail Blazers lost to the Mavericks in a huge scoring battle. They suffered their 16th loss of the season and their record dropped to 34 wins and 16 losses!

A winning rate of 68%, Liu Xiu counted on his fingers, 55 wins was a marginal level.

"Pfft..." Buckley couldn't hold it back any longer: "Hahahaha... Warden, you are so damaged!"

There was nothing special about the last time we played against each other. This time, Liu Xiu felt like the opponent’s lineup was so fierce!

Hamilton does not occupy the ball, and he can hold the ball if he is needed.

Carter, who once earned more from endorsements than his NBA salary, now earns only a fraction of his NBA salary.

The next day, February 8, the Trail Blazers came to Toyota Center to challenge the Rockets.

It was still familiar and direct, and Buckley breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, at least his understanding of him is correct. He will be 30 years old soon. He is old and really shouldn't engage in such strenuous exercise."

Liu Xiu made 12 of 26 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, plus 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, leading the Trail Blazers to defeat the Rockets 92-88!

The Trail Blazers improved to 34 wins and 15 losses!

…

Nowitzki is very excited!

…

But the Trail Blazers also scored 26 points in a single quarter.

Rockets starting lineup: Alston, Hamilton, Granger, Varejao, Bynum.

With Korver's decisive three-pointer keeping the point difference at 4 points, the Rockets failed to comeback in the end.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Liu Xiu, Korver, Hill, Millsap, LaFrentz.

"I heard that the league invited Kobe, but he said that the slam dunk contest was for young people and refused."

The day after playing the Rockets, on February 9th, the Trail Blazers came to Dallas for a back-to-back challenge against the Mavericks at 8 p.m.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Rockets started!

However, these four powerful starters are paired with the street ball king Alston as the point guard...

In the third quarter, Liu Xiu made 5 of 9 shots and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He led the Trail Blazers to a score of 28-18 in a single quarter, leading the Rockets by 5 points 66-61!

In the final quarter, Bynum dug deep inside and made 4 of 6 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter, helping the Rockets score 27 points in a single quarter.

There were 5 points scored in the second offense. The Trail Blazers' twin towers were not available. He got 14 rebounds tonight, including 4 offensive rebounds.

Alston is a point guard whose career shooting percentage is less than 39%, and no one takes him seriously when he plays. As a teammate, we can only expect his touch to explode.

But the Rockets failed to seize the opportunity, scoring only 21 and 22 points in the first and second quarters respectively, leading the Trail Blazers by only 5 points, 43-38, at halftime.

"I'm not that good either..."

You don't know how to cherish it when you have it, and you will never lose your confidence. After it is really lost, the Carter team who did not pay attention to this aspect at all and made sarcastic remarks everywhere are now more anxious than anyone else.

Liu Xiu made 9 of 14 field goals tonight, and his mid-range performance was so violent that the Mavericks couldn't guard him at all.

Before the game, Liu Xiu was interviewed by Barkley.

When he came to interview Liu Xiu, he didn't prepare many convoluted words to induce Liu Xiu to say anything.

Liu Xiu thinks this statement makes sense...

Let's put it this way, Alston is averaging 11.6 shots per game this season and Bynum is averaging 10.6 shots per game.

"Everyone has the right to do what they want to do. As long as it doesn't break the law or violate social ethics, it's normal. After all, I'm too good at dunking."

Anyway, what Liu Xiu said was definitely more topical than he thought.

On Carter's side, Liu Xiu guessed that he and his team were really anxious and used the slam dunk contest as a life-saving straw, hoping to regain their former popularity.

"Warden...oh, no, Stern asked us to call you Congressman Jess as much as possible. Okay, Warden, what do you think about LeBron James not participating in the dunk contest?"

After 2 hours and 28 minutes of play, the two teams decided the winner.

Tonight, he scored 18 points without the ball, mainly catching and shooting, and eating cakes. This is what he has done in the past two seasons to cope with the defense of strong teams in singles, and it is what he is best at now.

In terms of scoring methods, he has turned himself into the top off-the-ball player.

He made 16 of 29 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 11 of 11 free throws. He scored 45 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in a single game, leading the Trail Blazers to 116 points.

Varejao has excellent defense and rich game experience.

The other four starters are really strong, and the Rockets point guard is really lagging behind.

There are 14 points in singles!

Defeating the lawless maniacs is not even close to the mark. Moreover, the opponent Kwame Brown did not play, and the Trail Blazers did not have enough continuity in guarding him.

But he scored 8 points in singles against the outlaws, and he was already scoring normally!

To others, he is just a lawless maniac, but to King Silver Horn, he is an inner demon and darkness.

Three years! Three whole years!

It's almost dawn!
Chapter completed!
