In the evening, Liu Xiu and his family watched the live broadcast of the Pistons' away game against the Nets.

After a battle of 2 hours and 22 minutes, at 9:22 pm, the Pistons lost to the Nets 104-111 in an away game. Their 4-game winning streak was ended, and their record became 30 wins and 6 losses.

On this day, Liu Xiu had waited for a long time since defeating the Pistons, and the Pistons finally lost again.

After the game, the first thing the TV commentator mentioned was not the outcome of the game that just ended, but the fact that the Trail Blazers, who had won 14 consecutive games, topped the league with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses.

In the world of competitive sports, performance still matters.

75 points in a single game is an achievement, and 14 consecutive wins and ranking first in the league are also achievements!

In the past week or so, because Liu Xiu failed to overtake Kobe Bryant's 75 points in a single game, the major media guided public opinion and made people feel that this was such a disappointing thing. At the same time, people did not follow the deliberate guidance of the media.

Note that the Trail Blazers have been on a winning streak, and the impact of their winning streak is far less than that of the Pistons after their 10-game winning streak last month.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to reach the top of the league, people suddenly discovered that Liu Xiu's performance in the five games since Kobe Bryant scored 75 points was not only not disappointing, but actually excellent!

Even if he only played 10 minutes in the game against the Hornets, you can still see the role he played in the game.

Then came the controversy - is it better to score 75 points in a single game, or is it more powerful to lead the team to continuous victories?

…

Relying on 14 consecutive victories to reach the top of the league, a new track has been successfully opened!

The mission was not completed, but the limelight was definitely grabbed.

The media, experts, and netizens are all debating which one of Liu Xiu and Kobe Bryant's recent performance is better.

It's because of this popularity that it's strangely high, and the direction of public opinion is strangely biased towards Liu Xiu.

When it was breakfast time the next day, Qing'er asked in confusion: "Yesterday morning, those newspapers were still saying that all of us are evil people. Why did they suddenly start praising us today?"

Liu Xiu only cared about Lehe grabbing the limelight and thinking about the terrifying four battles in five days, but he really didn't think about this issue.

Anne Hathaway speculated: "Maybe yesterday they hyped up Mourning for being the No. 1 pick and it didn't get as popular as Paul Allen's suicidal attack on NBA officials. So we need a new topic, a real popular star.

Hold up the heat."

Liu Xiu took over the conversation: "It makes sense. The NBA actually doesn't want this kind of heat on the matter of beating people. The media wants to stir it up. Maybe Stern is still trying to find ways to reduce the heat in this area."

Anne Hathaway nodded: "Yes, Paul Allen suicidally criticized the NBA's official operations, which only made people laugh and could not bring about real discussion, so they can only praise us, otherwise during the NFL season

During the playoffs, the attention and influence of basketball can only get lower and lower, and the NFL playoffs are still more than three weeks away..."

Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway exchanged words with each other. Qing'er understood the reason why today's news trend was so strange. She felt that she had learned some new knowledge as a free secretary.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu attended the team's pre-match meeting.

The coach, who usually seems to care nothing about anything, looked much more serious today and said to the players: "Both Kwame and Alonzo can't play today. Antonio, you need to take on more responsibilities. Zach, you might as well."

Need to move to the center position, Nick Loz, you will be on the active list tonight..."

McDyess looked heavy upon hearing this, and Randolph let out a wail.

Skotishvili looked happy. Although he signed a 10-day short contract, had food and drink, and could train with the NBA team, he has never been on the active list until now. Now he finally has

Opportunity!

Liu Xiu complained: "Our winning streak has been full of hardships."

Based on the current situation of the team, this is basically the second most difficult situation he has analyzed in the past two nights.

Fortunately, the Outlaws were less tired now that Stevenson was sharing the defensive pressure, and they were not injured again this time.

The coach laughed when he heard Liu Xiu's words: "It's very difficult. Gary can't play tonight. Damon, Steve, you must be prepared to take on more responsibilities..."

Little Flying Squirrel was as arrogant as ever: "Leave it to me. The old man should have a good rest and don't compete with young people for time."

Payton sneered: "You, young? Do you want to laugh me to death?"

The little flying squirrel retorted decisively: "At least he is younger than you!"

The two were about to quarrel, and Blake suddenly said: "Real young people don't care whether they are young or not."

Little Flying Squirrel and Peyton looked at Blake with murderous eyes.

This guy, after staying with the warden for a long time, his sinister attributes have skyrocketed!

Payton's rest is not a temporary arrangement. It's back-to-back. Payton, a veteran who may still need to be counted on in the playoffs, won't bother him. There are enough point guards.

Payton is not good at guarding Terry and Stackhouse, who are beaten every time. It is better to let him rest and guard Ginobili and Finley in their normal state. He can do better.

.

Of course, when faced with Ginobili who was in a monster state... In the last game, he scored 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and Payton defended him for most of the time. It was a disaster.

The next step is to adjust the tactical play. Liu Xiu, as the core ball-handler, listens more carefully than anyone else.

Two of the three centers are unable to play, and one of them is still starting. The adjustment on both ends of the offense and defense must be quite large.

…

The pre-game meeting is quite long, and the training time is just two 15-minute training sessions, with the rest of the time resting and preparing for the game.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the lawless gangsters woke up Liu Xiu from his nap, and Liu Xiu browsed the forum.

After more than half a day of fermentation, the trend of public opinion gradually changed to '14 consecutive wins > 75 points in a single game'.

The lawless gangsters who were watching were surprised and said: "Warden, people are really discerning. I think you are much better than Bryant."

Liu Xiu glanced at the lawless maniac: "Thank you, next time I play against Kobe, I will use the exact words of your evaluation to show off to him."

Outlaw: "!!!!!"

After receiving the healing value, Liu Xiu smiled and continued: "These are actually the deliberate guidance of the media. Hyping up 75 points in a single game has lost its popularity. It may have aroused some people's resentment, so they chose to praise me. If we

If you lose next, no matter how high you are, you will fall badly..."

The outlaw maniac nodded in understanding. He would never think about this. Playing well, training well, and playing video games well. For him, who is only 21 years old, this is the happiest life.

But that didn't stop him from thinking the warden was awesome.

After reading the news for a while, Liu Xiu went to the gym to work out for a while, and then ate a super deluxe nutritious lunch box with the outlaw and the butcher to regain his strength, and then warmed up...

At a little after 7 o'clock in the evening, when the Trail Blazers players were warming up, a piece of news came - the Lakers' away game against the Grizzlies ended. After an overtime period, Kobe Bryant made 20 of 37 shots, including three-pointers.

He made 3 of 5 field goals and 17 of 20 free throws. He scored 60 points in a single game and led the team to defeat the Grizzlies 121-115.

Liu Xiu, who was practicing shooting and finding the ball, heard the news and hit a three-pointer to pay tribute to a wave of young blacksmiths who made key shots in the playoffs in their rookie years.

I just grabbed a little bit of the limelight this morning, but it’s been snatched back again!

…

At 7:40 pm, the players' entrance ceremony began at the Rose Garden Arena. In the manic atmosphere of the Rose Bay Devils' home court, the visiting Mavericks entered first.

The commentator from ESPN Sports, the broadcaster, briefly introduced the Mavericks' lineup and then started talking about Kobe Bryant scoring 60 points.

60+ points twice in a single game in a single month, only Chamberlain has done it in NBA history!

The media is hyping up the fact that Liu Xiu, who led the team to 14 consecutive victories, has performed better recently than Kobe Bryant, who scored 75 points in a single game. Kobe Bryant's points soared again. Please re-evaluate who is better.

Therefore, the ESPN commentator who was still touting Liu Xiu's 14-game winning streak when broadcasting another game an hour ago now started to boast about the 60 points that Kobe just scored.

When it was the turn of the home team Trail Blazers to take the field, the ESPN commentator began to create a topic - winning streak vs. high scores.

Kobe has already scored 60 points in a single game. Can Liu Xiu continue to keep up with his winning streak?

When my eyes came to the court of the Rose Garden Arena, the players from both teams had already finished playing.

The Mavericks players were particularly excited tonight. After entering the arena, Terry ran to the technical table to provoke, and exchanged blows with the little flying squirrel.

However, the excitement of the Mavericks also comes with pressure. Two of the three opposing centers are unable to play, and their ability to protect the frame has plummeted. If they cannot win, they will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

When the Trail Blazers players saw what the Mavericks were like, they were furious. The other team was obviously trying to take advantage of them!

But Liu Xiu, who was most miserable these two days, sat quietly on the bench and put on his socks after entering the stadium.

Fans are curious about whether Liu Xiu feels uncomfortable wearing so many pairs of socks? And why does he only wear these when playing against the Mavericks?

Stevenson, who was new here, wanted to ask Liu Xiu a few days ago when he saw him wearing so many socks. This time he couldn't help himself and asked.

Liu Xiu jumped after putting it on and said: "It's actually quite comfortable to wear. Looking at so many pairs, the thickness is about the same as one pair."

Stevenson: "..."

He didn't really want to know the answer...

On the other side, Jet, who had just had a quarrel with Little Flying Squirrel and was getting angry when he saw Liu Xiu wearing socks, became even more angry!

The media has sorted out the little habits of active players, such as wearing multiple pairs of socks. People only remember Liu Xiu, and no one knows that he is a Jet!

After cordial and friendly pre-match greetings, the two teams made final preparations before the match.

The game was about to start, and Liu Xiu came to the technical stage to apply magnesium powder and copy his talent.

"The Archmage: State of the Game."

Copy object:

Teammate: Damon Stoudemire, characteristic transformation talent: Flying Squirrel...

Opponent: Jason Terry, characteristic transformation talent: Jet, because the host has implemented the prerequisites for starting the full-health version, it is added to the full-health version.
