Chapter 484(1/2)
Unable to copy Kobe, Liu Xiu copied Caron Butler, and the talent he copied was a residual version of the "Flanker Artillery", with +1 mid-range shots and three-pointers below the free throw line on both wings, and double the effect of catching and shooting.
I originally copied an opponent at random and chose the one with the strongest scoring ability on the Lakers.
Unexpectedly, I hit the right spot!
"The host's temporary ability evaluation is 92.
…
Basic skills: 79 three-pointers, 89 mid-range shots...
…”
Copying Butler just takes three-pointers and mid-range shots to a higher level!
Teammates, of course, copy the little flying squirrel.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the regular season finale between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers began.
Kwame Brown beat Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.
Trail Blazers starting lineup: Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, Kwame Brown.
Lakers starting lineup: Atkins, Odom, Butler, Brian Grant, Wang Zhizhi.
A combination of one point guard and four forwards, an epic lineup created by Buss himself.
Liu Xiu caught the ball in the frontcourt, used the cover of Kwame Brown, and directly shot a three-pointer..."Bang"...missed!
But Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound!
After grabbing the offensive rebound, Randolph took a step outside the three-second area and then passed to the right sideline.
Liu Xiu received the ball at a 30-degree angle on the right side and shot a three-pointer...
This cooperation is perfect!
It’s just that I’m strong again…
but!
Randolph squeezed Brian Grant to grab the offensive rebound again and passed it to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu caught the ball and shot again...this time it went in!
The duo of Butcher and Warden stunned everyone.
They were looking forward to how Liu Xiu would score so much and thought of all kinds of ways, but they never imagined it would unfold like this!
The most ridiculous thing is that with such a ridiculous development, everyone actually thinks this is a good start!
Liu Xiu felt bad at first and needed time and some moves to adjust. Randolph helped Liu Xiu shorten the adjustment time to 8 seconds!
If you play round by round, the shooting position and shooting opportunity are also uncertain, so it is difficult to adjust. Top pitchers also have problems with adjustment.
Randolph grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row. Liu Xiu adjusted as if in training. He immediately shot the second ball after the first ball. He was very impressed. He knew where to adjust and was able to adjust quickly! And he really adjusted well.
Got it!
Just this one round of offense made the fans excited!
Tonight’s Warden has the wildest attitude on the West Coast!
…
On one side is the top team with 61 wins and 20 losses, and on the other side is the fifth-worst team in the league with 27 wins and 54 losses and a 9-game losing streak.
The game, which seemed like nothing to watch, was broadcast live on many TV stations, and the real-time ratings were higher than the closing game between the Heat and the Pacers!
The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was also extremely high. Those who didn't know better thought that there was an explosion at the 27-win team tonight because this is the home court of the 27-win team.
But in fact, it was the star player on the 61-win team who was madly abusing him.
Moreover, their coach directly arranged to defend the defensive end tonight. He called it "take a rest in irrelevant games to avoid injuries". Anyway, no matter whether they win or lose, they are third in the Western Conference.
In the first quarter, Liu Xiu made 6 of 13 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and led the team to a single quarter score of 29 to 26.
Lakers players really work hard to score points when they have the opportunity. For example, if Wang Zhizhi has a chance to play Randolph in isolation, he will also actively ask for the ball and practice as much as he can.
As far as the Lakers players are concerned, it is none of their business how many points Liu Xiu scores. Players who ruin the team have no "collective sense of honor" or "team dignity".
They didn't do any advance flanking or unlimited flanking. Atkins tried to help with the flanking attack, but after Liu Xiu knocked him away, he stopped attacking.
Some are losing data for the next contract.
Some who are dissatisfied with the status quo can be beaten casually.
Some even want to show their abilities in front of the Trail Blazers and hope to join the Trail Blazers.
Looking at the Trail Blazers holding the $12.5 million Flying Squirrel and the $8.44 million Derek Anderson on the bench, it makes people jealous.
Most strong teams are happy, and conflicts will be covered up by winning. At the same time, the survival law of survival of the fittest is more obvious in strong teams.
And a bad team always gives people a sense of "ghosts and monsters gathered together".
Kobe sat on the sidelines and watched the entire game.
After returning from the intermission, when the live camera showed Kobe on the sidelines, thousands of Lakers fans present booed.
Liu Xiu's fans who came to the scene also booed and booed Kobe, which made the Trail Blazers players really feel like they were playing in the Rose Garden Arena.
Before the third quarter was over, Lakers fans had already left the field one after another. By the time the fourth quarter started, nearly one-third of the seats were vacant!
The other party is clearly playing with them, and hitting them is tantamount to playing with them!
Just to score points for Liu Xiu, he deliberately let loose on the defensive end.
Liu Xiu played 9 minutes in the second quarter and scored 15 points, the score was 26-25; Liu Xiu scored 17 points in the third quarter, the score was 35-28; Liu Xiu played the first 7 minutes in the final quarter and scored 13 points, the score was 35-28
31 to 25.
In the end, Liu Xiu made 22 of 38 shots, including 8 of 15 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws. He scored 61 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, leading the Trail Blazers to a crushing victory over the Lakers 121-104!
Not many Lakers fans watched the whole game, but Kobe did. After the final whistle sounded, he got up from the bench, walked into the tunnel of the home team without paying attention to anyone, went directly to the parking lot, and drove out of the Lakers.
Staples Center...and then got stuck in traffic for two hours.
He could have not come to the scene, and the management also suggested the same, fearing that he would get angry after watching the scene.
But he came and got really pissed off.
But in the second half, when he was booed by the home fans, he calmed down.
After two hours of traffic jam and more than 20 minutes of normal driving, Kobe finally returned home.
Turn on the TV, and sports programs are reporting the news that Liu Xiu beat Iverson at the buzzer to win the scoring title.
The host was talking about Liu Xiu leading the Lakers with 60+ points in a single game for two consecutive seasons.
Kobe changed several channels, all reporting on this incident.
Reports have different tendencies. Some said Liu Xiu racked up statistics in a game like this, but Kobe did not comfort himself with such remarks. In the end, the channel he locked on was T.N.T Sports, praising "The Warden's No. 1 Disciple"
The warden's scene was recorded.
"Warden is the most talented basketball player in the world. He will definitely become a basketball legend. Tonight is just the prelude to his legendary career. His legendary road officially begins!"
Kobe remembered Barkley's words.
He is now experiencing mixed emotions of being very angry and extremely calm.
He chose to go to watch the game live and already guessed that there might be such a result.
But he still went, he wanted to experience the end of this failed season for himself and give himself endless motivation.
At this time, the TV screen switched to the highlights of Liu Xiu's game against the Lakers tonight.
It is marked next to Liu Xiu's total score of 2458 points this season, becoming the player with the highest total season score since Jordan in the 1995-96 season, and won the scoring title with an average of 32.8 points per game.
Kobe looked at the TV screen and swore that he would never fail to make the playoffs again!
If the team doesn't play well, he'll do it himself!
Everyone is bragging about how great the scoring champion is, and he wants to win it too!
…
…
As the Mavericks were defeated by the Jazz 78-85 at home, the NBA 2004-2005 regular season officially came to an end.
The regular season data has been finalized, and the most watched scoring list has been settled on the last day.
Liu Xiu averaged 32.8 points per game, beating Iverson who averaged 32.5 points per game, becoming the fourth current scoring champion!
The other three are Iverson, O'Neal, and McGrady.
In the last month, he tried to become the scoring champion. Although he was criticized for scoring against the Lakers in the end, he gained countless fans from the time he came back from the ban to the end of the regular season.
His fandom became even more fierce in April. This month, he averaged 43.8 points per game, becoming another scorer after Chamberlain, Baylor, and Kobe Bryant, the three Lakers legends, to average 40+ points per game in a single month!
Iverson has 50+ points three times this season, including two 60+ points. This is also tied by Liu Xiu. Only the two of them have scored 60+ points twice in a single season.
In this season's scoring list, there is a big gap between the top two and the others.
