"Joe Johnson, 24 years old, 201 cm, 101 kg, SG, ability evaluation 86, offense 93, defense 74, three-pointers 87, mid-range shot 93, layup 91, speed 88, strength 89, bounce 86..."

Leaving the Suns, Joe's personal ability to play singles was liberated. He has only turned 24 this summer and has touched the edge of the All-Star. It is estimated that he will have stable All-Star level strength in another year.

After entering the court, at the beginning of the game, Liu Xiu was waiting to see if there was any task, such as having a showdown with someone from the Eagles, or something, but no, the system did not give him a chance to get a reward.

After the game started, it proved that this game was not worthy of a task.

Liu Xiu played 34 minutes tonight, making 8 of 15 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals, plus Ray Allen scored 8 of 22 shots, Randolph scored 14 points and 12 rebounds, Raheem made 6 of 15 shots, scored 13 points on the bench, Kwame Brown scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks... The Trail Blazers defeated the Hawks 96-74.

The Eagles were massacred in the beginning!

Joe Johnson's performance was actually pretty good, with 8 of 18 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

But Josh Smith made 4 of 14 shots and scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, Al Harrington made 6 of 14 shots and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Tyron Lu made 2 of 6 shots and scored 4 points and 2 assists, Webster made 2 of 8 shots and scored 5 points...

The Hawks' players who made more than 5 shots, only Joe Johnson and Harrington had a shooting percentage of more than 40%, which was almost the same as the Trail Blazers' defense!

The Trail Blazers' offense tonight was centered around Ray Allen and Randolph's score. The two of them played really hard, and it was quite difficult to take into account both inside damage and outside shooting.

Ray Allen is the three-pointer, and Randolph is the new generation of talented insider with the most powerful offensive potential in the power forward position. He can't bear to give up any one.

But there must be a trade-off. Now, Morris Chicks and his think tanks are looking for that balance.

The best way is to try it directly in practice.

These are directly mentioned in the team meeting.

Liu Xiu felt that in the game, he insisted on focusing on the tactics of scoring on the two, and another purpose was to let the two realize that they both needed to make sacrifices.

Because before ensuring their two rights to take action, there is another premise, which is to build a team around the warden.

In fact, Ray Allen had already made psychological construction before joining the Trail Blazers. After joining the Trail Blazers, he will no longer be the team's first scoring point; Randolph also had similar psychological preparations when he learned that a strong aid like Ray Allen joined.

But when the new season really starts, there will definitely be better expectations.

Now, it is the process of adjusting through real competitions.

In this case, their relaxed schedule at the beginning is particularly important!

After the game, Liu Xiu was interviewed by Time Warner Cable Sports, which was broadcast live in Oregon.

There was really no highlight in this game, and the reporter racked his brains to remember a question: "Warner, how do you evaluate Johnson, who joined the Hawks with a high salary? Do you think his performance is worth so much? Or should he stay with the Suns as Nash's helper?"

Liu Xiuying said: "Of course he is worth this salary, he will definitely be better in the future. His shooting is so beautiful. His singles skills remind me of Michael Jordan. In my opinion, he is contemporary Jordan!"

The Trail Blazers massacred the Hawks. This news is not about Trail Blazers fans who are not willing to take a look. The Hawks were slaughtered by the Warriors two days ago. It is not surprising how many points the Hawks lose.

However, Liu Xiu's post-match interview attracted a lot of attention and the topic was quite high.

Liu Xiu praised her like Jordan again!

The one who responded the most intensely was Kobe, who scored only 31 points in Game 3 of the new season.

Although Kobe was unhappy with Liu Xiu's disgust, Liu Xiu said that he was as strong as Jordan and he was very happy.

But within two days of happiness, I saw Liu Xiukiao Jo Johnson as the 'Contemporary Jordan'.

Is this day killing Jordan as an adjective or as a unit of measurement?

…

After playing against the Hawks, they took a day off. On November 5, the Trail Blazers welcomed their last opponent, the New York Knicks, who was the leader of the third consecutive time.

This year, the Knicks returned to the top of the salary rankings! And with an annual salary of US$126 million, it set a record for the NBA single team's single season salary!

He holds Alan Houston, Marbury, Anthony Hardaway's three-point max contract, Antonio Davis, Morris Taylor, Shanton Anderson's three-point contract, Eddie Curry, who grabbed the Bulls in the offseason, Quentin Richardson, who returned from the Suns' trade, and the Knicks have 8 players with a salary of more than US$7 million this season... Of course, there are a few of these players who can play games, and this is hard to say.

This was only after the Knicks used Houston clauses to pardon jerome Williams' contract with the remaining three years and $21 million, before reducing the total salary to less than $130 million.

The Mavericks spent money like that. Over the years, Anthony Walker, Jamison, Danpier, and Ratliff have been introduced... Although the players have come and go, as long as they have the conditions to strengthen, they will not hesitate to luxury taxes and spend money wildly. The total salary this year has not exceeded 100 million, with a net worth of 98.46 million US dollars.

The Trail Blazers have just passed a peak salary. Two maximum salary expired and have pardoned a large contract with an annual salary of nearly 10 million US dollars. Currently, the salary is only in the middle and upper reaches of the league. If nothing unexpected happens, the next peak salary will be two years.

The Knicks have just entered the peak salary period, and this wave of salary exceeding 100 million will last until 2009 or even 10 years.

According to rumors, the Trail Blazers boss was very unhappy with this situation and was trying to find a way to spend money.

At 7:16 pm, the players of both teams finished entering the court.

The Knicks' starting lineup sent tonight are Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, Channing Furray, and Eddie Curry.

When Liu Xiu saw that these five people were starting, he had a question mark on his head.

The expression on the opposite side revealed the mean head coach in his heart. It was Larry Brown, right!

But the starters he sent, including Eddie Curry, were all from the nerves!

Even Liu Xiu, the inside rookie Qianning Flai, had an impression that Nash won the assist king for the last time that the Suns made the most three-pointers.

Yes, it's just such a big man with 211 cm + 116 kilograms.

However, Qianning-Frei 74's ability evaluation surprised Liu Xiu.

Judging from the performance of each rookie at the moment, Channing Flee is the best inside player among the 2005 rookies, averaging 10.5 points and 7 rebounds in the first two games.

The Trail Blazers coaching staff has been arranged for a long time tonight before the game. It is emphasized that after the adjustments tonight, the game will soon begin.

Liu Xiu received a prompt to choose the object of copying his talent...Alan Houston, Anthony Hardaway, and the two highest-paid Knicks have retired.

In the end, Liu Xiu chose the copy object Marbury...

“…

Opponent: Stephen Marbury, match 45%. Because the host is good at breaking forward body, match 15% and comprehensive match 60%. The conditions for priority copying appropriate characteristics have been met. Characteristic transformation talent: King of Changes in the Front Body, bonus effect: When the host uses the change direction before body, the first change direction will be started at the fastest speed. If the opponent successfully gets rid of the opponent's defense, the change direction will be started at the fastest speed again."

Teammates, because they wanted to play against Marbury, Liu Xiu chose to copy Payton's "lockdown type".

At 7:30 pm, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Kwame Brown narrowly defeated Eddie Curry to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers attacked first.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is still the same, with Liu Xiu, Lei Allen, extrajudicial madman, Randolph, and Kwame Brown starting in the five-man group.

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, but did not launch an attack, but waited for Randolph to lean against Eddie Curry at the right bottom line and then hang the ball over. Randolph launched the attack, and the "Sharpshooter" started!

Although his bonus with the Swordsman is not high now and the probability of special bonus is also low, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still flesh. He is trying hard to find ways to increase the number of times he can use this talent.

Randolph took the ball and turned to face the basket, hitting Eddie Curry with his back. He was unhappy with O'Neal.

After signing the big contract, Eddie Curry's weight surged to 147 kilograms, 20 pounds heavier than last season! Two days ago, the Knicks played against the Pistons, and Yao Ming refused to play with the low post. Now Eddie Curry can withstand the low post.

But it is easy to hit Eddie Curry in the face frame. Randolph sways and fakes his shoulders + quick pull of the ball with his right hand, breaking through at close range easily enters the three-second zone.

Channing Fran was very active in defense and took it back to the basket in time. Randolph passed, passing it towards the free throw line.

Liu Xiu just blocked the QQ from the top arc to the left corner on the left side of the free throw line. After disassembling it, he immediately pulled one step across to the free throw line. Randolph's breakthrough was very tacit understanding with the passing timing. Liu Xiu just stood firm and received the ball, and immediately accelerated the breakthrough in the middle. He rushed forward with the big Q who had been dragged in the defense and grabbed the ball, and made a layup in the middle with three steps slow!

Big Q has physical fitness and enthusiasm, and the stickers are in place, but if you stick them, how to limit Liu Xiu's breakthrough and jump, and how to interfere with Liu Xiu's shooting, you will not be able to do so at all!

In fact, his defense was pretty good when he was in the Clippers, but he was the kind of player who needed continuous teaching. When he arrived at the Suns, the coach stopped defending. Moreover, the Suns management told him that he was a member of the team's long-term plan, so he gave up on defense, and then he really lost defense and was sold to the Knicks.

Although Larry Brown, the new Knicks coach, is a coach with high defensive attainment, it will take a year and a half to build a defensive system. The most important thing is that Larry Brown has no chance to build a defensive system after he arrived at the Knicks. He fights wits and courage with the team's retirement army day by day. This group of people is not like the players he coached before, and may become PJ Calesimo's second.
