Chapter 482 482. Beyond Kobe!(2/2)
At 10:22 pm, the whistle sounded to end the game.
116 to 100, the Trail Blazers defeated the Mavericks by 16 points and won their 61st victory of the season, ending the Mavericks' 16-game winning streak!
Liu Xiu made 9 of 14 shots in the final quarter, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 23 points in a single quarter and led his team to a 35-20 score in the final quarter. The fans at the scene were already going crazy!
Fans would not think so much like Maurice Cheeks. What they saw was Liu Xiu going berserk in the last quarter, scoring 23 points in a single quarter, and leading his team to defeat the Dallas Mavericks, which had been invincible in the league in the past month!
Liu Xiu made 17 of 30 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 45 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!
After the game, Liu Xiu was surrounded by reporters. This has been the norm for the Trail Blazers in recent games. As long as there is a live broadcast, there will be more reporters, and the league can hold them back by collecting a deposit.
When asked about scoring 40+ points in a single game for the 20th time, Liu Xiu replied: "This is the goal I have been working hard on recently. I feel very good now. I did what I wanted to do."
The reporter didn't know how to answer this answer.
A reporter wanted to remind the warden that sometimes he doesn't need to be so down-to-earth.
Who doesn’t know that your goal is to surpass Kobe, but you have to deny it! You should show that you don’t care about these things, so that we can have space to write, criticize you for being untrue, and create hype...
Why can't you learn from the top pick of your class?
Those who didn’t know better thought you were a high school student.
Although there are many things to complain about, it does not prevent reporters from continuing to seize the time to ask questions.
"Warden, the answer is that you scored 48 points tonight. The total score has increased to 2399 points, surpassing your 2397 points, and you have returned to the top of the scoring list. Will you continue to compete for the scoring champion in the final game?"
Liu Xiu replied without hesitation: "Of course, 60 wins, 20 40+ times, and the scoring title are what I have been fighting for this month. I can't give up in the last game. The answer is the last game."
The Nets are really lucky. Kidd, McGrady, and Jefferson are the strongest perimeter combination in the league. They shouldn't be given 40 or 50 points by the answer, right? That would be so embarrassing for them."
The reporters were stunned when they heard this answer!
There is such a thing in the world...
Ask questions, keep asking questions!
"Warden, you ended the Mavericks' 16-game winning streak and prevented them from ending the regular season with 18-game winning streak. You know, all teams that have won at least 18 consecutive games have won the championship. You are playing because of this."
Do you have to work so hard to let the Mavericks continue their winning streak?"
Finally, someone asked about things related to tonight's game. Liu Xiu felt that the Mavericks were the most unscrupulous super team with 16 consecutive wins...
Liu Xiuying said: "I know that teams with 18 consecutive wins have won the championship, but that doesn't mean it will be the same now. Let alone 18 consecutive wins, maybe 22 consecutive wins won't even make it into the second round.
I don't care how many consecutive wins the Mavericks end the regular season, it's just that we happened to meet them and we want to win, it's that simple.
Chapter completed!
