After scoring the goal, Liu Xiu winked at Parker who ran in.

Parker felt chilled in his heart.

Surpassing Liu Xiu, he was indeed very motivated during the years when he made the most progress, but now he has long given up.

He is the kind of player who stands at the top of basketball history.

But he never gave up the competition with Liu Xiu. In 2006, he accepted his fate, discussed with Yaodao and Shifo, changed his style of play, and took the team route. Generally speaking, the change went smoothly. He was selected in the first round of last season.

It was a bit surprising, but he still felt that the future was full of hope... Who knew that the Warden and his group had also changed their style of play this season, and seemed to be even more successful than them!

Is there any heavenly principle?

Forget it, the warden actually learned his sports car skills! And he used it as his main attack method!

His close-range scoring is his proudest ability. This season his shooting percentage is as high as 68.6%, which is better than most inside players. Among outside players, only James can stabilize him.

But Liu Xiu's floater continues to improve, and this season's short-range shooting percentage has also increased to 65.8%, the league's top level.

He doesn't score as many goals as his sports car. He averages 4.8 close-range goals per game, ranking first among defenders. That guy only averages 3.6 close-range goals per game at the top level of a defender.

But COSCO Shot is the Warden’s main scoring method!

After receiving the serve, Parker put away his grief and anger and attacked!

If you can't do it individually, then do it as a team!

When the Spurs attacked, Finley caught the ball from the baseline and hit a two-pointer.

The Spurs' teamwork was perfect. Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll offense easily tore apart the Trail Blazers' defense.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown passed the ball to Hill after a pick-and-roll. Hill responded to the ball, and Liu Xiu cut in to catch the ball and hit a European step layup.

Butcher and the three-point champion opened up, Liu Xiu and Kwame Brown launched an attack, Hill supported it, and their cooperation also beat the Spurs' good defense to pieces.

The Spurs didn't give in. Duncan caught the ball from close range and hit Liu Xiu with a hook. The two teams started tied at 4-4!

Both teams showed strong offensive firepower at the beginning.

But soon, the short-term balance was broken. Liu Xiu's singles followed by a high post shot and hit a mid-range shot to start 'Kobe Time'!

This season, he successfully activated "Kobe Time" less frequently than last season. Last season, he activated it almost once in every game. This season, he activated Kobe Time less often because this talent and "Splash" restrict each other to a certain extent.

He does not have to try to start every game. Generally, he must start in the first quarter of every game. It depends on the situation later. Although the talent is good, the most important thing is to make the right choice.

I'm lucky tonight, it's time to start "Kobe Bryant's time"!

The Spurs' offensive performance as a team in the first quarter was ridiculously good. As usual, there was a strong duel, and the scoring was concentrated on the troika, but the opponent just couldn't guard it.

Duncan scored 11 points in the first quarter, Parker scored 7 points and 2 assists, and Ginobili, who came on as a substitute and played 5 minutes, scored 7 points, 1 assist and 1 block. The Trail Blazers defended hard, but the troika led the Spurs to score in the first quarter.

33 points.

However, Liu Xiu on the opposite side... scored 18 points in a row at the beginning, scored 26 points in a single quarter, and led the team to 46 points!

In the second quarter, the Spurs' offense declined slightly, scoring 26 points in a single quarter.

The Trail Blazers maintained their efficiency. Liu Xiu did not take a break, nor was he paranoid about forcing shots. Instead, he took full advantage of his threat and went to play without the ball.

Gasol, Diaw, and Hill took turns organizing the offense. Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to 31 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the Trail Blazers' lead expanded to 18 points, leading 87 to 59.

The spurs!

The Trail Blazers rushed a bit hard in the first half, but were unable to follow up in the second half. They only scored 23 points in the third quarter and only 25 points in the fourth quarter. However, the Spurs were a little confused by Liu Xiu in the first half. This is great.

Opportunity, but only scored 24 points in the third quarter, only narrowing the point difference by 1 point. In the final quarter, although the Spurs scored 31 points, the point difference was as high as 17 points at the end of the three quarters...

125 to 113, the Trail Blazers won the high-scoring battle and won 9 consecutive victories!

Liu Xiu made 20 of 35 shots, including 6 of 13 three-pointers, and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 56 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in a single game!

Liu Xiu has 40+ points in three consecutive games. This season, the number of 40+ points has reached 18 times. His scoring average has reached 33.34 points per game. The average scoring gap with the second-placed Wade is 2.3 points per game!

If Wade wants to surpass Liu Xiu, he has to average 61 points per game in the remaining 6 games. Moreover, Liu Xiu's points per game must not continue to rise.

In the early part of the season, in the Trail Blazers' more than 20 games, Liu Xiu scored less than 30 points in 20 games. At that time, even the Trail Blazers fans felt that there was no hope for him to lead the scoring this season. Unexpectedly, by the end of the season, he actually won

So much ahead.

Liu Xiu has also reached 6 times of 50+ points this season, which is only 1 time away from his 7 times of 50+ points in a single game in the 2006-07 season!

…

The popularity of this year's NCAA Basketball Championship can be said to be unprecedentedly low.

It’s only been a day since the fight, and not many people are discussing it.

It has something to do with the lack of suspense. In the eyes of the fans, the NCAA Crazy Three games should be a strong showdown. It is intense and intense, and it is difficult to predict the outcome. I can't say there is anything wrong with North Carolina being strong. I can only say that Michigan State is strong.

So disappointing.

But the most important thing is that the warden is too crazy.

The day after defeating the Spurs, the Trail Blazers came to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies back-to-back.

In normal times, there would be fans expecting the Grizzlies to upset the team. This year, the Grizzlies had very anxious games against the Trail Blazers twice.

But this time, even if the Trail Blazers go back-to-back, not many are optimistic about the Grizzlies, including "casual fans."

The fans were not disappointed. Liu Xiu made 7 of 14 shots tonight, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, leading the Trail Blazers to a defensive victory.

Slaughtered the Grizzlies 93-67 and won 10 consecutive victories!

Mayo, who scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists on 2 of 12 shots, was numb. Didn't the warden not target him before? He caught him again tonight and tried to fight with his life!

Oden's performance of 8 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks was quite good, but he could only lead the team to limit the Blazers' offense on the defensive end. He really couldn't do much good offensively.

With 68 wins and 9 losses, the Trail Blazers tied the Celtics for the third-highest number of wins in history!

After winning back-to-back games, the Trail Blazers did not leave Memphis immediately and had two days of rest.

The next morning, I rested, and in the afternoon I went to the rented arena at the University of Memphis for preparation training.

In the eyes of the Trail Blazers' coaching staff and players, they have now guaranteed to surpass their second-best record in history of 70 wins and 12 losses.

They paid special attention to the next game against the Cavaliers. If they won, it would be equivalent to tying the Bulls.

After defeating three opponents: the Thunder, Nuggets, and Clippers, the Trail Blazers still have some confidence.

After an afternoon of preparation, there was another morning of preparation training on the morning of the 8th. In the afternoon, I left Memphis and came to Cleveland, where I rested for a night. On April 9, the game day against the Cavaliers arrived.

At 6:40 in the evening, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the stadium despite the boos of the fans at Quicken Loans Center.

The Cavaliers also had two days of rest. The initial highlight of this game was that it was the last time the Trail Blazers played against an Eastern Conference team, and it was also the last time the Cavaliers played against a Western Conference team.

This is the star battle arranged by the league at the end of the regular season - Little Emperor VS Warden.

Who would have thought that the Cavaliers would pull off such a trick in the middle of the season?

What's even more unexpected is that the Cavaliers posted a record of 22 wins and 3 losses in the second half of the season?

Now the Cavaliers have 58 wins and 19 losses, basically locking in the top two in the Eastern Conference. They are only one win away from the Bulls who have 59 wins and 20 losses. They may reach the first place in the Eastern Conference.

Tonight, the Cavaliers players have a sense of mission - to protect the best record in history.

James is not interested in guarding the Bulls' best record in history, but he wants to be the one who sniped the Trail Blazers to win 73 games. He even expected the Lakers to lose to the Trail Blazers in the end, so he would be the only sniper.

.

Of course, externally, we still have to be more modest - to keep the honor of the God of Basketball.

For a time, the call for James to be "Jordan's successor" became even louder.

This trend of public opinion made Liu Xiu feel sour, but no one ever said that he was "Jordan's successor."

Although he didn't care whether he was the 'successor of Jordan' or not, at this time he just found it tasteless.

Since no one regards him as the 'Successor of Jordan', then he will beat the 'Successor of Jordan'!

The pre-match preparation time was almost over, and the referee informed the two teams to start the game.

Liu Xiu copied Ray Allen’s full health ‘quick throw’, and James’ remaining health ‘invincible’.

James' style of play has not changed much over the years. Liu Xiu can only look forward to the 2.0 version of KING in the future.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup remained unchanged, and the Cavaliers sent out a starting combination of Mo Williams, Delonte West, James, Jamison, and Ben Wallace.

After the game started, the Cavaliers launched a defensive battle.

But unfortunately, the Cavaliers, who started a defensive battle, only scored 12 points in the first quarter, but it was still effective, and the Trail Blazers only scored 19 points in defense.

In the second quarter, their offensive performance picked up, scoring 22 points in a single quarter, and defending the Trail Blazers to only 17 points.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers performed even better, their offensive status improved sharply, and they scored 31 to 21.

At the end of three quarters, the Cavaliers led the Trail Blazers by 8 points, leading the Trail Blazers 65-57!

At the end of the quarter, Liu Xiu and Ray Allen started a fight. The three-pointers were blocked, and the two of them threw wildly. Ray Allen made 4 of 7 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws. Liu Xiu scored 10 points in a single quarter.

Show made 3 of 6 shots, plus 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 11 points in a single quarter...

With 2.8 seconds left in the game, Liu Xiu made two free throws to tie the score at 86-86!

As Big Z missed a long two-pointer after receiving a pass from James, the regular time ended with the two teams still tied and entering overtime!
To be continued...
