The Trail Blazers lost the first two games against the Nuggets, with the scores still being 104 to 111.

George Karl's track and field style of play can rush forward, and it is indeed very powerful in the regular season.

The Nuggets continued their charge tonight, and they rushed very hard.

But the Blazers have even more firepower tonight!

The Trail Blazers led by 3 points 34 to 31 in the first quarter, and won another 3 points 32 to 26 in the second quarter, extending the lead to 9 points. Although the Nuggets outscored 28 to 23 in the third quarter, the Trail Blazers lost in the final quarter.

14 points for outsiders...

115 to 106, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets by 9 points!

Liu Xiu rushed inside tonight and got 10 offensive rebounds, which completely overwhelmed the Nuggets.

17 rebounds in a single game is also Liu Xiu's highest rebound in a single game in recent years.

Gasol seized this opportunity. Because of Liu Xiu's rush, the Nuggets put Nene in an area that could block Liu Xiu's rush. Gasol chose to press inside, creating a mismatch when facing Anthony or Martin.

He made 7 out of 10 shots in the high-flying and high-flying games!

Anthony was depressed. He had won the first two matches. He was looking forward to sweeping the damn one, but he had no chance...

After playing back-to-back games, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland for a night's rest. On the 14th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Kings at home. 108 to 101. The Trail Blazers won calmly. Liu Xiu scored 29 points and Lei -

Allen scored 24 points. It seemed that the point difference was very small, but after the first quarter, the Trail Blazers had been leading by 10 points. The Trail Blazers did not attack to widen the point difference, but played slowly, and the Kings did not chase the points.

desire.

On the 16th, the Trail Blazers came to Sacramento and challenged the Kings away from home, winning another game 110-94. Liu Xiu made 18 of 30 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 46 points.

11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

On the 17th, the Trail Blazers came to Oakland, another city in California, to challenge the Golden State Warriors back to back.

Jennings + Ellis, this pair of guns is much more fierce than the Kings. After the first three quarters, they led the Trail Blazers by 14 points, 84 to 70.

But in the final quarter, the Trail Blazers fought back with a crazy 40-21 quarter!

Relying on Liu Xiu's 24 points in the final quarter, the Trail Blazers reversed the Warriors 110-105 and won their 7th consecutive victory!

Liu Xiu scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, back-to-back 40+ points. This season, the number of 40+ points in a single game has reached 18 times, and the number of 40+ points in a single game in his career has reached 120 times, which is far behind Kobe's 124 times.

Shrunk down to 4 times!

After the All-Star Weekend, entering the second half of the season, the teammates' condition improved, and they had a period of time for the coaching staff to think about tactical matters and the players to think about how to solve this problem. Their cooperation became more tacit, and the team offense played better.

Very good, the balance of offense and defense is even better.

Liu Xiu's personal scoring has also declined during this period. Before this back-to-back, he had only scored more than 35 points three times in 14 games, and only once had 40+ points in a single game.

Even with these back-to-back 40+ points, his scoring average has dropped by nearly 1 point compared to before the All-Star break, and he currently averages 33.6 points per game.

However, his lead is still there. After the All-Star Weekend, Kobe and James completely lost the motivation to chase the scoring champion, and their average points per game dropped.

Durant's ability is not enough. He averaged 31 points per game, which is already the limit. He wanted to compete and expected Liu Xiu's points per game to decline. But in March, he himself could not maintain it.

He averaged 31 points per game and tried his best, but his points per game were still slowly declining.

Therefore, although Liu Xiu's scoring average is declining, his scoring title is more stable than before the All-Star weekend.

After a back-to-back away game, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland to rest for two days. On March 20, they faced the challenge of the Menglong at home.

Liu Xiu scored 22 points, Ray Allen scored 20 points, Bibby scored 21 points, and the three Trail Blazers guards scored 20 points!

At the last moment, with Ray Allen hitting a key three-pointer, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 6 points with 11 seconds left.

The Menglong team made a wrong choice!

The Trail Blazers led by 3 points, and with 30 seconds left, the Menglong team chose to defend Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to guard Marion from Hill's cut, and Marion ran up to block Liu Xiu, giving Hill a chance to help.

Ray Allen blocked the pursuit and caught the ball, turned around and shot a three-pointer.

105 to 99, the Trail Blazers defeated the Menglong again, completing the regular season sweep!

But more importantly, the Trail Blazers got ahead of the Magic and became the fourth team to win 50 games this season. They currently have a record of 50 wins and 19 losses and just won an 8-game winning streak!

It's now the end of March, and we only had 6 wins and 4 losses in the first 10 games after the All-Star break, not much excitement.

Not only the three first-tier teams, the Trail Blazers, Lakers, Cavaliers, and Spurs, have seen their winning percentages decline after the All-Star weekend.

So far, the Cavaliers' record has reached 52 wins and 17 losses.

The Lakers also only had 53 wins and 17 losses.

The Spurs are the most stable team, and they have also declined, but they are much better than these two teams. They currently have 55 wins and 15 losses, and are the first to reach 55 wins.

The strong teams have begun to improve their performance, which is the trend in the impact stage in March this year.

People’s view of March this year is that it is very intense, very compact, and a season in which the major teams are very close in strength.

The Nuggets can fall to eighth in the Western Conference, but they have the ability to overwhelm the Spurs, who are first in the Western Conference, in one game.

The competition is fierce and many games are interesting to watch.

The strong teams are getting better and better offensively, but their defense still has the shadow of the iron-blooded era.

It can be said that this is the season where the major teams have done the best in combining offense and defense in recent years... But!

No team was dominant, which made the fans feel uncomfortable.

Yes, fans say they like to watch intense matches, strong showdowns, suspenseful matches, and ups and downs... The fans are not lying, they really like this.

But they prefer that in such a competition atmosphere, a super strong team that can crush all opponents will appear!

As March progresses, there has been no dominant team, and fans can only accept the reality with regret.

But unexpectedly, after a while, the Trail Blazers suddenly started a winning streak!

This wave of winning streak has come to 8 games. Judging from the current record, the Trail Blazers have reached the first tier!

This is simply unbelievable to the fans! Once again, it has become the focus of the fans' eyes at this stage.

Some media even advocated that the Trail Blazers might directly win the regular season championship with a winning streak...

On March 23, the Trail Blazers faced the Wizards at home, 113 to 98. The Trail Blazers relied on Liu Xiu’s 28 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 1 block to easily win and win 9 consecutive games.

Win!

This victory allowed the Trail Blazers to further attract the attention of all basketball fans.

On the 25th, the Trail Blazers faced off against the Suns at America West Arena in Phoenix. This game was broadcast by many TV stations.

After a fierce battle, the Trail Blazers failed to win 10 consecutive games and lost to the Suns 107-113.

The Bully had 18 points and 14 rebounds, Nash had 12 points and 15 assists, Sister Shen scored 16 points, Rudy Fernandez had 17 points, Lopez Jr. had 12 points, Dudley had 10 points, Fletcher had 11 points...

…Seven Suns players scored in double figures!

Liu Xiu scored 33 points, Ray Allen 22 points, Kwame Brown 16 points, Outlaw 18 points... The Trail Blazers' four top scorers performed very well, but they still failed to win 10 consecutive victories.

The Trail Blazers' winning streak failed to continue, and many fans felt regretful, including some of their haters.

As the saying goes, if you are dark enough, you will be naturally pink...

But it would be nice to have the Trail Blazers provide a wave of stimulation at this time, exciting fans who are a little tired of the overly intense situation.

On the 27th, the Trail Blazers returned home and narrowly defeated the Mavericks 91-89. It was a fierce and compact defensive battle. Both sides felt bad, and both sides defended well. In the end, Kidd caught the ball and made an open three-pointer.

Without scoring, the Trail Blazers held on to win and consolidated their record as a 'first-tier' team.

After 72 games, the Trail Blazers' record reached 52 wins and 20 losses!

After two days of rest, the Trail Blazers first came to Oklahoma City on the 30th and defeated the Thunder 113-101, and then came to New Orleans on the 31st and narrowly defeated the Hornets 112-108, improving their record to 54.

Win 20 and lose!

Liu Xiu was very satisfied with the continuous hammering of the school bag and the turtle. Although the two were not in the same team, he felt uncomfortable after hammering the school bag without hammering the turtle.

It won't be easy to beat him in the future. Look at Xiaopang, it's going to be difficult every time we fight.

If it weren't for the small artillery that can trigger the "prison kill", it would be very difficult. Now there is no advantage at all inside.

Another game month has been played, and each team has only 10 games at most and 8 games at least in the regular season, entering the final sprint stage.

On April 1st, a new month came. When the Trail Blazers returned to Portland at noon, Liu Xiu received a call from John Nash - the best trophy of the month was here!

In March, the Trail Blazers played 15 games and won a two-game winning streak, a seven-game winning streak, and an ongoing three-game winning streak, with 12 wins and 3 losses!

He averaged 28.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 3.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 54% from the field, 44.1% from the three-point range, and 88% from the free throw line!

When the fans saw Liu Xiu winning the award, they were shocked to discover that the Trail Blazers had the best record in March! If it weren't for the free throws, this number would have been 180 in a single month!

So far in the second half of the season, his shooting percentage has reached 49.1%, an increase of more than 1 percentage point.

Over in the East, KING's classmate, who was the best for four consecutive months, performed poorly in March. In the middle of the month, he suffered a four-game losing streak. The Nuggets led by Brother Dong were defeated 118-105, and the Magic led by Beast Beast lost 118-105.
