The game reached 10 minutes and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter. Liu Xiu missed a three-pointer, but Randolph rushed to grab the offensive rebound and threw it to Liu Xiu on the right sideline. Liu Xiu caught the ball from the same position and shot again...hit!

Liu Xiu's score increased to 12 points in the final quarter, and his score in a single game reached 30 points. The Trail Blazers' lead reached 12 points!

Liu Xiu made the shot and the Trail Blazers secured the victory!

In the end, with Liu Xiu's 30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, Randolph's 15 points and 14 rebounds, Raheem's 19 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists... the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 101-94.

Although the Nuggets scored 5 points in a row at the last minute, they only narrowed the gap a little.

The Nuggets have done a good job in both pre-game preparation and the coach's defensive response. If there is anything bad, it is the ability to adjust on the offensive end, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Their coach's ability in that area is average.

Their overall preparation and response were very good.

But helplessly, Liu Xiu caught the Nuggets off guard from the start!

Tonight, Anthony made 9 of 21 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Looking at Liu Xiu opposite him, Anthony's mentality exploded.

If you lose, there is nothing you can do. If you lose, you lose.

But his personal performance tonight was not as good as Liu Xiu!

This is the reason why his mentality exploded!

According to the system's judgment, the two are equal in terms of overall strength.

But there is a difference.

Anthony is the one who wants to lead the Nuggets forward, but Liu Xiu is not the one who wants to carry the Trail Blazers forward.

On the other hand, the warden is the treasure of the prison team and is a member who receives care from all aspects! It’s just that the characteristics of his play style can give back the care at the tactical level.

Liu Xiu himself felt this, especially tonight, even though he knew that he was equal in strength to the opponent, he was able to perform better... relying on the team's luxurious lineup with a billion-yuan contract!

Even if he has the strength of a first-class star, the increase brought by the team bonus will still be there!

He kind of enjoys the ability to make money...

Also, watching Anthony leave in a huff after the final whistle sounded for the first time, Liu Xiu felt very relieved.

My brother Dong is so awesome! In the last minute and a half, the healing value increased by nearly a thousand.

It's a pity that it will be difficult to play against Brother Dong again this season!

…

…

Defeating the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers improved their record to 55 wins and 21 losses, becoming the fourth team to win 55 games this season!

The first three teams with 55+ wins are the Pacers with 58 wins and 19 losses, the Timberwolves with 56 wins and 20 losses, and the Spurs with 56 wins and 21 losses.

Winning 55 wins, the Trail Blazers made headlines. This is no small matter. Many stars cannot win 55 games as stars throughout their careers.

But there is one thing that is more popular, and it is still related to the Trail Blazers - a middle-aged man who did not want to be named, who has been relatively free recently, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to send gifts to every staff member of the team.

It’s okay to give gifts all the time. The owners of the Mavericks, Lakers and other teams are also generous people and will give some gifts on all holidays.

But this is outrageous for the Trail Blazers.

So after the league learned the news, David Stern contacted the man by phone and asked him to stop being bored and continue buying gifts.

David Stern told him that the league would work with the players union and other departments to introduce new regulations - gift regulations.

This is the rule that restricts his recent wave of gifts.

If it weren't for the fact that the Trail Blazers' salary this season was more than $100 million, it would really look like they were using gifts to pay extra wages to their players.

Although the man reluctantly accepted the incident, when he looked back and thought about it, he instantly became excited!

Immediately find your secretary and take the initiative to expose this matter.

And named this provision that has not yet been announced and even the specific content is not known - the Paul Allen Clause!

…

Some people were having fun, while a group of people started the most brutal schedule at the end of the season.

5 games in 7 days, first of all, alternating home and away games against the Spurs and Warriors!

After coming to San Antonio to rest for a night, the Trail Blazers came to the ATT Center on April 10 to challenge the Spurs away from home.

Although this game was not broadcast live, there were as many as 5 TV stations broadcasting the last Lake-Niuttle game at the same time.

But this game has attracted a lot of attention!

Bowen was beaten just a while ago.

The most important thing is the battle between the Timberwolves, Spurs, and Trail Blazers for first place in the Western Conference!

Currently, the Timberwolves are leading. If the Spurs defeat the Trail Blazers, they will still have a chance to compete with the Timberwolves for first place. If the Trail Blazers win, then it will be a snipe and a clam fight, and the Timberwolves will sit back and watch the two teams compete with each other.

.

But both the Spurs and the Trail Blazers have made it clear that they want to continue competing.

Therefore, many people are paying attention to the result of this game.

There is another point to watch - can Liu Xiu continue to perform violently?

Liu Xiu's performance entering April reminded people of a rookie who went on a rampage after entering April. He scored more than 20 points in each of the 12 games, including 8 games with more than 30 points, including one.

Bo is a rookie with 40+ points in 5 consecutive games...

Allen Iverson!

Anthony's performance in five months was evaluated by the media as being better than Iverson, because Iverson's statistics and record in the first five months were not as good as Anthony's.

But after entering April, although Anthony's performance was still excellent, it was not better than in March, and was still slightly worse.

On the contrary, Liu Xiu, who made bold statements, became more like Iverson in April.

Although the data is slightly inferior, personal data + team record, judging from the few games played so far, are even better than Iverson that month!

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' home game against the Spurs started.

To be on the safe side, Liu Xiu copied Parker.

The talent for transforming characteristics is another version of 'Super Speed', which adds +1 to the normal speed, and +1 to the speed after straight-line acceleration to full speed. It is similar to Ford but different.

What Liu Xiu wants is a bonus related to throwing. This... is also pretty good.

There was no conflict between the two teams this time and both teams were very restrained.

McDyess' injury has had a big impact on the Trail Blazers. At this time, the Trail Blazers players can't mess around. If the opponent doesn't do anything, they shouldn't mess around.

Not to mention the Spurs, Bowen is a coward...

After 2 hours and 27 minutes of play, the winner was determined.

Liu Xiu hit the back, and the waves were already flying. There was nothing he could do...

Making 13 of 30 shots, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws, Liu Xiu surged to 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Apart from him, only Randolph scored in double figures, making 7 of 20 shots and 6 of 9 free throws to get 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.

Although the Spurs only had 19 assists as a team, they limited the Trail Blazers to only 15 assists as a team.

87 to 81, the Spurs relied on defense to defeat the Trail Blazers, improving their record to 57 wins and 21 losses!

The Timberwolves also lost tonight.

Marbury scored 30 points and 8 assists in the away game, and Tim Thomas scored 26 points and 2 assists. With Marbury making 3 free throws at the critical moment, the Knicks defeated the Timberwolves 92-91 in the away game.

Lee made a free throw to beat the Timberwolves amid endless boos at the scene.

In order to secure his playoff spot and seek revenge against his old club, Marbury acted violently.

After the Timberwolves lost to the Knicks, their record dropped to 56 wins and 21 losses, and they were overtaken by the Spurs, who had 57 wins and 21 losses!

…

After many people saw that the Trail Blazers also won 55 games, they felt that there would be at least three 60-win teams in the Western Conference this season.

Only now do I realize that, except for the Pacers, who are sure to win 60 games, the top three in the Western Conference don't seem to have a high probability!

The Spurs must win at least 3 of their remaining 4 games, and the Timberwolves must win at least 4 of their remaining 5 games.

It's even harder for the Trail Blazers. They must win all the remaining games to get 60 wins, and they will have to play against the Lakers in a doubleheader next...

The schedule is difficult and the pressure must be faced directly by the warden and butcher who lead the team forward.

But when it came to the Warden, it was very simple, so simple that the Butcher, who had a sleepless night after losing to the Spurs, felt like a big fool.

"Let's win the game against the Warriors first, and we'll talk about the rest of the games later. If we can't win 60 games, we'll fight for first place in the Western Conference. If we can't win first place in the Western Conference, we'll guarantee the top three..."

Things are actually that simple. Whether you work hard towards your goal or not is another matter.

It's easy to talk about it, but if you don't talk about it, it's easy to get into trouble.

Speaking of which, this genius is always different from ordinary people.

After playing the game, he stayed up almost all night and fell asleep when it was almost cold. Then he took a car and a plane, returned to the home arena, slept for two or three hours and then got up to play the game... What would be the state of such a player?

Randolph made 8 of 15 shots and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 20 points and 21 rebounds!
