Chapter 1049 1049. The key ball is invincible!

In the past five seasons, Liu Xiu has won the January Player of the Month award four times.

There's really nothing wrong with saying it's a 'mid-term overlord'.

This time I had the most fun...

Kobe Bryant also won a lot in January, with 15 wins and 2 losses, an average of 31+6+4+2+0.7, and a shooting percentage of 50+38+88. After switching to the Eastern Conference, he was definitely the best player of the month.

For Kobe to win the award despite his performance, Liu Xiu was even happier than he had been for the previous 15 times when he won the Player of the Month award.

In the evening, the Trail Blazers came to Oklahoma City and had a night's rest. On the next day, they only went to the Ford Center for training in the afternoon.

At 7 pm on February 3, the game between the Trail Blazers and Thunder started.

In the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers suppressed the Thunder 23-20, 27-26, and 30-28 respectively, but the point difference was not completely widened. At the end of the three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Thunder by 6 points, 80-74.

And it can be seen that the Thunder's offense is getting better and better. The Trail Blazers only relied on offensive firepower to suppress the Thunder, so their defense in the first quarter can only be considered good.

Just when the Thunder players were expecting an upset, the Trail Blazers' defense suddenly came up in the final quarter. Liu Xiu scored 14 points in a single quarter and the Thunder scored 18 points in a single quarter...

Even if he leaves the Trail Blazers, McDyess, a veteran who made great contributions and sacrifices during the three consecutive championships, is still one of the favorite inside players of this generation of Trail Blazers fans.

Liu Xiu did not slow down and rushed directly to the frontcourt. The Trail Blazers were also pressing very quickly at this time. After Liu Xiu reached the frontcourt, he quickly started a pick-and-roll with Kwame Brown.

We have reached this point in the game and still insist on 'preventing', 'serious', and 'rushing'... the coaching staff will be hated by the players like Larry Brown.

On the morning of the 8th, the league announced the complete list of participants for the All-Star Weekend.

Not to mention in the West, it is difficult to rely on strength in the East. You can only rely on popularity to be selected.

Liu Xiu did not refuse. He played for 46 minutes, threw 40 times, made 17 of 40 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored 47 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 steals.

Block shot.

By the way, if you can get to know that guy from the Grizzlies, he will definitely become a brother easily.

All-Star game substitute list:

East: Howard, Milicic, Garnett, Lewis, Pierce, Joe Johnson, McGrady.

In the original time and space, the Suns team welcomed the Sharks, and the 2008-09 season was particularly tragic. The Son of the Wind failed to be selected as an All-Star, and the Little Bully was selected as a starter due to his popularity.

…

At the end of the quarter, the Knicks' offensive efficiency finally declined after three quarters of hard work. The Trail Blazers seized the opportunity and started defensively, relying on Gasol to protect the frame, Liu Xiu, Kwame Brown, and Ray Allen.

The switch of defense and the individual defense of McGrady by the outlaws limited the Knicks to only 19 points in more than 11 minutes. During this period, the Trail Blazers scored 20 points.

Judging from the overall performance in this game, Liu Xiu felt that they did not play well.

After three consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers returned to their home court and rested for a night. On the 5th, they faced the challenge of the Raptors at home.

The second-year team looked so defeated in their rookie season, but in the second year, each one is stronger than the last!

This year's Rookie Game has changed its sponsor, to the Golden Arches. There are two games on the Rookie Game Day. In the afternoon, the All-Star Charity Game, the wealthy Golden Arches invited many Hollywood stars, retired NBA stars, and current WNBA stars.

20 people in total.

Playing against the Knicks' insiders, Gasol, who has an absolute tonnage advantage and a height and wingspan advantage, is better to use.

After playing the Knicks, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest. After the game on the 10th, they will enter the All-Star Weekend.

World Peace was almost in tears. After being bullied all the time, he finally took a breath.

Milicic had 32 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Artest had 21 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, O'Neal Jr. had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Calderon had 12 points and 7 assists, holding on to the victory without any danger.

If there were a few more games in the middle of the season, Liu Xiu was sure that his teammates would continue to lie there, but when it came to the last game, it was about to be a holiday, just like a Friday at school or at work, they would all be lying together.

...and then continue to lie down on the 'weekend'.

Son of the Wind and Little Overlord really weren’t selected for the All-Stars!

This was most evident when facing the Trail Blazers!

In the holy land of basketball, when the Knicks met the Trail Blazers, it was like giving up the game.

McDyess had a two-handed alley-oop dunk after receiving McGrady's lob, and won cheers from the fans at the scene.

These seven substitutes form the Western Conference All-Star team together with the top five starters including Liu Xiu, Kobe Bryant, Anthony, Duncan, and O'Neal.

He decided not to think about it for now and sneaked in secretly to take a peek at the prison team training?

West: Ray Allen, Kwame Brown, Randolph, Paul, Bynum, Deron, Nowitzki.

But unfortunately, apart from him, only Ray Allen in the team scored 11 points and 8 assists, and the Outlaws scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.

East Nursing Home and West Mosaic are the weirdest teams this season.

Maurice Cheeks begged the warden to do it directly.

Thinking about how Kobe, Duncan, and Garnett were standing before him, Liu Xiu, Milicic was at his peak in the same period, and the new generation Paul and Oden were ready to go, he felt that life was really difficult.

What does it feel like to score 10 points in a single quarter? Liu Xiu enjoyed it. It was not just him who scored 12 points in a single quarter, but the whole team...

good idea!

Before he could take action, the security guard trotted up to him and said, "Mr. James, our training location on non-match days is the Willamette Gardens Training Center. You can't see the Warden training here. If you want

If you want to visit the warden’s training, we can arrange a car to take you there.”

His teammates were all showing off, but he was the only one who was being beaten. Not only was he scored 47 points by Liu Xiu, but he was also defended by Liu Xiu and made 0 of 5 shots, only getting 2 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists...

After Randolph suffered a fatigue injury in front of him, even the vice president did not correct the problem of the team's disorganization. They were already suffering from a wave of injuries, and they really suffered a serious injury because they worked too hard... They were already No. 1 in the league.

It's not necessary, and I can't reach 0th place.

What Liu Xiu regrets the most is Iverson, who averaged 24.8 points per game. His performance was good, but it fluctuated too much. He could score 53 points in a single game, but he could also score 8 points. His shooting rate dropped to 41.6%. The Nuggets were injured due to Anthony's injury.

The consecutive record declines, and the decline in Iverson's statistics are also related to the lack of Anthony as a containment point in most games. Now Iverson can no longer support the offense alone.

McDyess put his hands on his hips and shook his head with a wry smile. The Warden's key ball ability is simply invincible!

Soon, after a short pause of 20 seconds, the Knicks' key ball tactic... was not played. The last tactic Michael Curry deployed was the 'public version' key ball tactic, which is the kind of arrangement that can never go wrong.

, but every coach knows tactics that are not very feasible.

After a day of rest, on the 7th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Knicks at home.

Facing the Raptors, which ranked third in the league in defensive efficiency, and went all out and even risked their lives to defend, the Trail Blazers fell behind by 16 points 10-26 in the first quarter.

Three-point contest entry list: Bibby, Daequan Cook, Granger, Kapono, Lewis, Rudy Fernandez.

On comprehensive event day, the alliance promoted him as Warden for a long time, but in the end his name was not included...

In the rookie game, the first-year team is composed of Oden, Gasol, Lopez, Love, Eric Gordon, Beasley, Mayo, Rose, and Westbrook; the second-year team is composed of Duran

Composed of Special, Horford, Conley, Scola, Thornton, Stuckey, Thaddeus Young, Wilson Chandler, and Yi Jianlian.

After a day of rest, on the 9th, the Trail Blazers prepared for the final game of the mid-term.

But a nursing home is different from Mosaic... Once the Knicks left the Holy Land of Basketball, it seemed as if the 'seal of the Holy Land' had been unlocked, and their strength seemed to suddenly increase.

After suffering their seventh loss of the season, the Trail Blazers' record became 43 wins and 7 losses, still ranking first in the league.

Liu Xiu felt that his teammates were extremely excited, which, to put it harshly, was a reflection of their past.

There is more to the arrangements for the Rookie Game Day. It is said that in order to attract more attention to the Rookie Game Day, more public activities are also arranged in the morning - the training of the All-Star players, which is scheduled to arrive at 9 o'clock in the morning.

12 o'clock.

Of the 7 places, their team accounts for nearly half. It is naturally difficult for people from other teams to be selected.

But the rhythm was controlled very well, loosening up when it was necessary, tightening up when it was necessary, not being too tight, but not being completely sloppy, and in the last quarter when the overall condition of the team was good, it defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.

After arriving at the hotel, a certain unnamed player No. 23 put on a windbreaker, sunglasses and a mask and came outside the Rose Garden Arena.

Four teams were selected for the Shooting Star Challenge: Trail Blazers, Lakers, Pistons, and Suns.

Skills Challenge entries: Ross, Harris, Mo Williams, Parker.

McGrady and McDyess directly chose to attack from a flank, but McGrady, who was blocked by Kwame Brown, went around and had no time to press forward. Liu Xiu had already taken advantage of the cover to jump towards the outlaws who rushed out. McGrady was the first to see this scene.

What comes to mind is this - McDyess is indeed Warden's old teammate, and he is really familiar with this guy's style.

"Antonio, why are you wasting all your energy?" Liu Xiu said and turned around and walked to the bench.

Duhong's three-pointer hit the neck of the basket with a "clang" sound and bounced out. Gasol blocked the rushing opponent, watched the ball fall a little inside the baseline, bounced, and the final whistle sounded.

…

…

There are still a lot of selfless players.

However, they have won 20 consecutive games and have been at the top of the record list for a long time, which is why they deserve it.

93 to 101, the Trail Blazers lost to the Raptors at home.

But in this time and space, the competition for the forward position is fierce. Anthony's image of a ruthless gangster has many fans. Duncan's popularity just started to decline in the middle of his career, but he reached his peak and soared to become the most popular forward in the West.

When Liu Xiu saw this list, he felt that the inside players on the first-year team could not even touch the ball, but the outside players...

In the wild West of guard groups, it is indeed difficult for Iverson to be selected as an All-Star.
To be continued...
