The feeling of the ball is enhanced! Liu Xiu naturally wants to win this reward. This task was triggered before the game, so he played extra hard tonight.

After the game, Liu Xiu analyzed it and felt that the Grizzlies were better at playing poorly this year.

In this era where perimeters are becoming more and more important, the Grizzlies are taking the initiative to reduce the playing time of Conley and Battier to avoid being too good at defense and accidentally leaving the bad zone.

Although Conley and Mayo were the starters, by the middle of the season, Curry had already played more minutes than the two of them. Just looking at the average playing time, Curry was still much less than the two. The gap was widened in the early stages.

.

Sam Young's playing time is also increasing, while Oden's playing time remains at about 30 minutes, which is not much higher than in his rookie year.

But the tactics have not changed, they are all focused on defense.

This kind of operation can maintain their emphasis on defensive discipline and try to attract other stars to join.

Oden's conservative treatment will not be affected by too much playing time and too much pressure on his knees.

There are also more training opportunities for rookie primary school students and Sam Young.

But Conley and Mayo are obviously going to become stepping stones for the growth of primary school students. The starting lineup attracts the opponent's defensive attention, and the primary school students come off the bench to show off their development.

Curry came off the bench tonight and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. Liu Xiu returned to the hotel to check the information and was surprised to find that without even realizing it, Curry's performance had surpassed that of most people in his class.

At that time, there was only one player in the same class who performed better than him consistently in every game - Tyreke Evans.

At this stage, they are the only two players in the same class who can consistently score 15+ points in each game.

Jennings, who averaged 20+ points per game in the first month, has now dropped to only 17 points per game, and continues to decline.

As for the Grizzlies' adjustment, if you don't pay special attention to it, you really can't find it, and you will ignore this potential team that is in the accumulation stage.

On the second day, the Trail Blazers faced back-to-back challenges from the Bucks at home.

Liu Xiu played 19 minutes, making 7 of 10 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and clocked out at halftime.

Ray Allen scored 21 points, Kwame Brown had 19 points, Hill had 15 points, Gasol had 9 points and 7 rebounds, Diaw had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Outlaws had 12 points, and Korver had 10 points.

…

The Trail Blazers played with 12 players, 12 of them scored, and the team scored 120 points.

But the defense was very loose tonight, with Caron Butler scoring 36 points and Judy Meeks scoring 21 points.

Compared with Cunningham, Liu Xiu originally wanted Meeks, who was known as "Little Butler", but they already had a rotation of pitchers such as Ray Allen, Korver, and Novak, and there must be another one.

If he had to sit on the bench for a long time, he might not be able to play for a year, so he didn't force it.

Cunningham is also pretty good. He works hard when he has playing time. He has averaged 9 points, 5 rebounds, 7 steals and 6 blocks per game so far this season, sharing the forward defensive pressure for Hill and the Outlaws.

I just want to say that I feel greedy when I look at Meeks, a talented pitcher who can score 10 points every game given the opportunity.

After playing back-to-back games, the Trail Blazers got one day of rest.

The coaching staff had no work to do. In the morning, Liu Xiu teamed up with Dayao, who was far away in Detroit, to work on the dungeon at home, leaving his physical strength for simulation training of basic three-point shooting skills, basic step-back skills, and basic throwing skills.

In the afternoon, I watched video clips of the next two opponents’ recent games.

After watching the video clips prepared by the team, Liu Xiu went to the study to take out the team manual and read the schedule.

After 40 games, the Trail Blazers' record reached 28 wins and 12 losses.

Next, they will face two strong enemies-the Cavaliers and Lakers.

He thought about the news he saw tonight, and laughed at the fact that the vice president had come up with a new trick, dividing the regular season into 40-2-40, which he said was the first half, the transition period, and the second half.

During the transition period, the popular teams recognized by the league will have a strong showdown.

The Jokecai League stated at a regular press conference that this matter started when the schedule was drawn up in September last year, in order to stimulate fans' interest in watching the game in the middle of the season.

Liu Xiu checked and found that in the next few days, there would be four or five strong duels every day... He really wanted to know what was growing in the head of the boiled egg that made fun of him.

With so many games, can the major TV stations broadcast them?

He saw that the game between the Hornets and Thunder was not broadcast live, and he knew how speechless the major TV stations were at this stage.

The match between Little Rose vs Little Warden is not even scheduled to be aired.

But regardless of the matter of live broadcast or not, it does not have much impact on the players. They are just playing two strong duels in the middle of the season when their energy and physical strength are put to the test.

On January 19th, the Trail Blazers played against the Cavaliers at home.

They lost the previous away game against the Cavaliers. At the beginning of this game, Liu Xiu triggered the Superstar in Troubled Times series mission ‘Rebel’. The mission goal was simple – revenge!

When they played the Bucks before, the Trail Blazers team was so disorganized that they didn't even defend well. It seemed like the "aristocratic disease" that had been gone for several years was back.

But when they met the Cavaliers, who had lost once and would be swept if they lost again, everyone on the Trail Blazers was excited!

James performed well tonight, making 14 of 27 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, plus 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 32 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, standard kg-style data.

Under his organization of the offense, Jamison scored 12 points, Mobu scored 12 points, Delonte West scored 13 points, Big Z scored 13 points, and O'Neal scored 12 points. It can be described as a bowl of water.

Flat.

Although the balance is good, the Cavaliers' performance tonight was not good enough when facing the Trail Blazers who were aggressive in scoring from outside!

Liu Xiu felt hot tonight, making 9 of 12 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 12 of 12 free throws. He scored 33 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Ray Allen scored 31 points and Outlaw 21 points.

The three scored 85 points together and led the team to a 107-98 victory over the Cavaliers!

After the game, Liu Xiu, who had completed his revenge, received the mission reward - 1 random attribute point.

After I started to accumulate healing points without drawing draws and exceeded the talent limit, I didn't get many attribute points for half a year.

I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck, but I randomly got Speed ​​+1, and I accumulated 6 speed attribute cards.

With 3 more pictures, the speed can be increased to 97, but with 3 more pictures, it is really difficult...

On the 21st, the Trail Blazers faced the Lakers, their last opponent for five consecutive games.

The Lakers successfully renewed Ariza's contract with a four-year, $28 million deal last summer.

Ariza is still the same as in the original time and space. After his strength improved, he became uneasy about the status quo and ran to test the free market.

But without Mosaic, Baji is so stupid that he wants to build a team around him. No team is willing to give him a big contract, at most to the middle class.

Liu Xiu has always wondered why Mosaic in the original time and space thought that Ariza, who averaged 8 points per game in the 2008-09 season, could become a core player and a star?

Just because Ariza has a Tracy McGrady body?

Although Tracy McGrady's statistics were not outstanding during his time with the Raptors, he did not have many opportunities to perform. His skills, game awareness, and abilities displayed on the court were much better than Ariza's.

But Ariza was crucial to the Lakers. The Lakers were able to rise in the 2007-08 season. Ariza helped Kobe Bryant share the defensive pressure on the front line, served as a counterattack arrow, and rushed for offensive rebounds, which played a huge role.

Therefore, the free market only gave Ariza a mid-level offer, but the Lakers still paid for it with a lot of money and gave him a contract with an average annual salary of US$7 million.

The Lakers currently have a record of 33 wins and 8 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference behind the Spurs.

At 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers will face off against the Lakers.

After 2 hours and 18 minutes of play, the Trail Blazers lost 94-103 at home.

The Lakers played 10 players, and 7 scored in double figures. The lowest scorer all had 5 points, but Kobe Bryant, the highest scorer, only had 18 points, and no one scored more than 20. The teamwork and shooting touch were so good that the Lakers themselves were even better.

Shocked.

In the slow-paced positional battle, the Lakers successfully took 71 shots, hitting 37 goals, and the team's shooting rate was 1%!

Liu Xiu scored 34 points, Ray Allen 18 points, Gasol 12 points, Outlaw 11 points... After the Trail Blazers played hard against the Cavaliers, they returned to the tepid situation in the middle of the season.

.

In the 'connection period', the Blazers got two days of rest with one win and one loss in the two games.

But they left Portland for Washington, D.C., at noon the day after the game against the Lakers. This time, the Trail Blazers coaches and players brought their families. Liu Xiu also brought his parents, uncle, and aunt.

Yes, anyway, the team arranged a single-family house for their family in a villa hotel on the outskirts of the city, and the whole family could fit in there.

In the evening, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway talked about buying Bitcoin. Last year, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway mentioned this matter. They decided to invest millions of dollars and stopped buying it after buying it. No.

They continue to invest deeply, hold on to the Bitcoins they bought, buy them early, and do not use the capital to raise prices in the mid-term. They cannot afford it.

Wait ten or eight years and then sell it. You don't have to wait until the increase stops before selling. By that time, the game of passing flowers by drumming has already collapsed.

He doesn't like speculating in currencies, but there is a way to make money out there. It's like putting money in front of you that no one wants. If you don't take it, you won't get it.

After a night's rest, they visited the White House on the morning of the 23rd and met with the first black commander-in-chief in the history of American imperialism.

During the interview, Liu Xiu, who had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, was chatting and laughing with the black commander.

Finally, Liu Xiu's family took a photo with the black leader, and his father was able to show off to the neighbors again when he returned to China during the offseason.

On the 24th, the Trail Blazers took advantage of the excitement of visiting the White House and defeated the Wizards 122-105 away from home. Liu Xiu made 18 of 34 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 45 points.

7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.

On the 25th, the Trail Blazers came to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers back-to-back.

Liu Xiu scored 28 points and Ray Allen scored 33 points. The two scored 61 points together, leading the Trail Blazers to defeat the 76ers 98-90 in back-to-back games, avenging their last home defeat.

After defeating the 76ers, the Trail Blazers came to Boston in the Northeastern United States.

This is the coldest time here, but every year when the Trail Blazers play the Celtics away from home, it's basically this time.

However, every time they play the Celtics away from home, the Trail Blazers coaching staff is most at ease, as they don't have to worry about their players running away and fooling around.
To be continued...
