Tonight's game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets at home will once again receive an additional broadcast - a national live broadcast on T.N.T Sports.

Near noon, the morning preparation training for the Trail Blazers and Nuggets ended, but Liu Xiu and Anthony's work was not over yet. They were taken to a lounge in the Rose Garden Arena for interviews by staff from their respective teams.

The person who interviewed them, the heavyweight guest - Charles Barkley.

"Welcome to Sir Charles Barkley's pre-match interview..."

After Buckley made his opening remarks, he asked the two of them to introduce themselves to the audience.

Anthony smiled: "Hello everyone, I am Carmelo Anthony, I am very happy..."

Liu Xiu looked at Anthony and felt ten thousand alpacas running through him.

Damn it, I actually changed into new training clothes for an interview, and had my hair and beard specially taken care of... If I had only known that the warden would take care of it as well.

Men's competitiveness always appears in very strange places...

It was Liu Xiu's turn to introduce himself.

The style that Liu Xiu originally wanted to adopt was snatched away by Anthony... There it is!

"Do I still need to introduce myself? Then my 52 points are for nothing?"

Not to mention Anthony, even Barkley, who was in charge of the interview, felt it was too much and deserved a beating!

However, Liu Xiu is indeed the most well-known player in the 2003 class.

Anthony, who is known as the king of NCAA freshmen, and James, who is known as the strongest high school student in history, have not received as much attention as Liu Xiu so far this season.

Barkley did not exchange too many pleasantries and started the interview directly: "We have collected some questions that fans want to ask you and selected a few that we are also very interested in. Let's start with Carmelo. Who do you think

The best rookie in his class?"

Anthony answered decisively: "I."

"OK, who do you want to defeat most?"

Anthony pointed at Liu Xiu: "He, James and Milicic."

Liu Xiu stole the spotlight: "Milicic? He didn't even get a chance to play. Melo, you'll have to wait a long time to beat him."

Anthony angrily said: "This is my interview!"

"Oke Oke, this is exactly what I asked Jace. Jace, who is the rookie in the same class that you most want to beat?"

"He," Liu Xiu also pointed at Anthony, "and Dwyane Wade."

"Is there anyone else?"

"Others? Who?"

"For example, LeBron James? What do you think of your first pick in this class?" Barkley's face was filled with ill intentions.

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes: "Sir Buckley, can you change the question?"

Although he is not afraid of being trolled by fans, Liu Xiu doesn't like to be trolled either.

And the target is James... Although this guy will only turn 19 in a few days, his character is too mature, and even if he is stimulated, he will not get any healing points.

The best way to get healing points from this guy is to defeat him.

Buckley smiled and said: "Haha, what question do you want me to ask?"

"Well... you can ask me if I have the confidence to get 20 points. I say yes, and then you say you don't believe it and want to bet with me."

"OH, I really misjudged you. You, like Kenny, are not a good person!"

…

…

"I am the all-powerful one who can conquer the world at will and be looked up to by thousands of people..."

From Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw...to Randolph, Rasheed Wallace, 14 players ran out of the player tunnel one after another accompanied by the sound of BGM.

There are starting substitutes, first the substitutes, two inactive players in the middle, and finally five starters, but all of them came out in succession and finished in one go.

Anthony looked at the opponent's appearance - city people know how to play!

In recent days, Liu Xiu and his teammates have tried various ways of playing.

It's not appropriate to show up the way you did on the day you debuted.

But when I returned to the regular appearance, everyone felt it was too ordinary.

This time, everyone was very satisfied.

The cheers from the fans at the scene also made everyone very satisfied - it was close to the cheers on the day of the debut!

Obviously the fans are also very satisfied with the players' new appearance.

At 7:46 pm, the Nuggets and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena one after another.

After a brief exchange of greetings before the game, Liu Xiu and his teammates gathered around the bench and listened to the coaching staff make the final arrangements before the game.

The Trail Blazers attach great importance to the game against the Nuggets.

After playing more than 20 games, the Nuggets' identity as a playoff contender has been firmly established - 27 games played, 16 wins and 11 losses.

Teams have to have dreams - what if their prison team reaches a higher ranking?

They also have to prepare for the worst—what if they end up competing with the Nuggets for eighth place in the Western Conference?

Also, the battle for Rookie of the Month between Liu Xiu and Anthony...

Unlike the Eastern Conference where no one can compete with James for the Rookie of the Month award, here in the Western Conference, the competition between Liu Xiu and Anthony for the Rookie of the Month award is quite fierce.

Anthony played steadily and Liu Xiu had many highlight moments.

Which of the two can win the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in the second game month? This game may have a decisive impact.

Of course, the Trail Blazers will try their best to win the honor of their own rookie.

Many times this kind of thing is not the player's business alone.

Kenny Smith, the commentator of T.N.T Sports Channel who is broadcasting the game live, raised a related topic - "Charles, do you think Anthony can break the dominance of Warden?"

The topic came up so suddenly that Buckley felt there was something wrong with it.

However, when he saw the pit, he just wanted to jump and asked: "Domination? Kenny, whose dominance are you talking about?"

"Warden, Jess Liu."

"He? He's a great rookie, but what does he have to do with dominance?" Barkley stepped forward in awe.

Kenny Smith was well prepared: "He won against James, Hinrich, Wade, and Bosh."

As for the other rookies... No, these are the only rookies in the 2003 class who averaged double figures in points per game.

Barkley curled his lips and said: "My teammates are Randolph, Wallace, Stoudemire...I can beat these guys even if I lie down."

"Can you score 52 points lying down?"

"..."

"Can you get 4 triple-doubles in a season while lying down... Oh, you can. You have got up to 5 triple-doubles in a season. Do you think Warden can surpass you?"

Barkley couldn't help it and said angrily: "I scored 56 points! Playoffs!"

"Warden's rookie season hasn't even finished the regular season yet. If you want to compete with him for playoff statistics, of course he can't beat you..."

Why don’t you compare your playoff record with me?”

"Kenny! I want to duel you!"

The fans in front of the TV were very happy to see Barkley's angry look.

Liu Xiu’s words during the interview, ‘Do I need to introduce myself? I got my 52 points for nothing?’ have already aroused heated discussion, and Barkley’s flabbergasted expression at that time also made people laugh.

The commotion between Kenny Smith and Barkley at the beginning added a new topic to the game - Liu Xiu now holds the title of the most dominant rookie in the 2003 class.

Just like Buckley's rebuttal, this title falls on Liu Xiu, which is definitely very controversial.

However, this topic has been dropped.

Because that's really what happened.

Will Liu Xiu continue to maintain his dominance, or will Anthony break Liu Xiu's dominance?

For a time, it became the biggest concern for fans watching the live broadcast of this game.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' home game against the Nuggets started.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.

Nuggets starting lineup: Andre Miller, Voshan Leonard, Anthony, Nene, Camby's starting lineup.

Nene, who has two eggs, is still very strong, narrowly beating Tianzun to win the jump ball, and the Nuggets attack first!

The first attack at the beginning was given to Anthony for a single.

High school students... Anthony likes to play against high school students of the same class. The first two times he played against another high school student of the same class, he scored 14 points and 26 points respectively, while the opponent only scored 7 points and 19 points. In the two games,
