Chapter 659
"The Trail Blazers still need 23 wins to break the Bulls' record... We only have 23 games left this season. There's really nothing wrong with that..."
In a suite at the Manor Hotel in the northeastern part of downtown Dallas, Liu Xiu complained about the news.
The outlaw who was fighting World of Warcraft next to him put on his headphones. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he wouldn't listen.
As for why he didn't go back to his suite...the lawless fanatics were waiting for Liu Xiu to finish complaining about the news and finish the dungeon together.
The day after beating the Mosaics, the Trail Blazers left Houston and came to Dallas.
50 wins, the boss is happy, and after last night's game, he temporarily asked the vice president to upgrade his accommodation for the two days in Dallas.
In terms of news, they slaughtered the sports section.
ESPN loves to pull off gimmicks, and a 50-9 record is good, but there have been many better ones in NBA history.
However, ESPN played a trick on the timeline! There is no record to create a record!
Since the Bulls' 69-win season in 1996-97, the Trail Blazers are the only team to lose less than double figures when reaching 50 wins.
After the 1996-97 season, the Bulls, Jazz, Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Pacers, Suns and other teams had a record of 60+ wins, but when they reached 50 wins, they lost as many games as possible.
More than 10 games.
When Liu Xiu saw this newly created record, he felt it was amazing!
But after reading a few more ESPN-related news, Liu Xiu could only complain.
They actually hyped whether they would end the regular season with a 26-game winning streak...
After scrolling through the news, Liu Xiu saw the game report of last night's game. It was his 11th triple-double, but no one cared about it anymore, which made him a little sad.
Last night's game, Liu Xiu thought, was a bit interesting.
The Mosaic team has few live broadcast opportunities this season, but the Trail Blazers have already won 49 games after defeating the Spurs, so this game was added. The game is not suspenseful, and the ratings are okay because of the relationship with the Trail Blazers.
.
In last night's game, the Mosaic team did not have a particularly strong desire to win. Although they had always said in interviews with Chinese media that they would not give up any game, their coaching staff's operation during the game was to lose if they could.
, the focus now is on cultivating two rookies, Granger and Bynum.
Granger averaged 9.4 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his defensive and shooting talents are outstanding.
Bynum averaged 8.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, and his talent is visible to the naked eye.
Both of them performed well last night. Granger had 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals, and Bynum had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Thinking of these two people, Liu Xiu estimated that the Mosaic team would have two cores to exploit in the future.
As for Bynum's brain, I don't know if it can withstand several years of hard work.
When Liu Xiu took his attention away from the news, he felt a look of resentment, coming from a high school student.
Liu Xiu apologized repeatedly, logged into the game, and started the road to brushing up his bank account with the lawless maniacs...
…
After a night's rest, on March 7th, the last game day of the Trail Blazers' 5-game away streak arrived.
Liu Xiu and Nowitzki made an appointment to have breakfast in the morning, and the two talked about the construction of Pingdingshan Manor.
After the All-Star break, with Cuban's help, Nowitzki successfully obtained a deal from Dallas City Hall to buy land at a low price.
After Kobe Bryant's seven-year contract extension with the Lakers, Cuban gave up on Kobe Bryant and all he could see was Nowitzki. Liu Xiu was not surprised to help him.
But Liu Xiu feels that in Dallas, a city with a super-popular team like the Cowboys, the main reason why Nowitzki gets such treatment is because of his skin color. The four major leagues have teams here, and they are all strong teams.
, but the only star player of each team is Nowitzki, who is white.
Nowitzki recently moved directly to the hill he bought and devoted all his spare time to building houses.
Liu Xiu learned from Nowitzki that the Silver Horn King was now addicted to the joy of bargaining with building materials merchants and workers.
Recently, housing prices have stopped growing when Liu Xiu was building a house and have begun to decline. The accumulation of building materials has become more serious and has fallen more. The human resources of construction workers have also become more surplus. In the past, it was impossible to buy materials and recruit people, but now it is possible
It’s also a price that makes building materials merchants and construction companies blush and curse, but they don’t dare to reject it outright.
How pleasant it was for Liu Xiu and Nowitzki to chat in the morning, and how tit-for-tat the warden and King Silver Horn were standing on the court in the evening!
At 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers' away game against the Mavericks kicked off at the American Airlines Center.
In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on their defense against Nowitzki, which made the Mavericks very uncomfortable. The Mavericks only scored 17 points in a single quarter, leading the Mavericks by 6 points, 23-17.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' defense was still effective, preventing the Mavericks from scoring only 20 points in a single quarter. However, the Mavericks' defense in the second quarter was actually pretty good, and compared to the Trail Blazers' defensive decline in the second quarter, the Mavericks
The defense improved in the second quarter and only allowed the Trail Blazers to score 20 points.
At the end of halftime, the Mavericks closed the gap and were still only 6 points behind the Trail Blazers at 37-43.
In the third quarter, the situation suddenly changed. The Mavericks' offensive efficiency gradually improved. Nowitzki's role as a running shooter became better, and his touch became hotter. He got 3 three-point opportunities after receiving the ball, and all of them were successful.
There was a tip-in that resulted in a foul and he made one of two free throws. He scored 10 points in a single quarter and helped the Mavericks score 23 points in a single quarter.
As for the Trail Blazers, their offensive efficiency did not pick up in the third quarter. They were one point less than in the second quarter, scoring only 19 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' lead was reduced to 2 points by the Mavericks, leading the Mavericks only 62-60.
Randolph worked hard in the last quarter, and others worked hard too. The whole team scored 25 points in the last quarter, but the Mavericks, who were soaring, scored 33 points in a single quarter!
Nowitzki caught the ball from the sideline and hit consecutive shots. The rest of the Mavericks team had the most stable target for distributing the ball, and they played very well!
Randolph made 14 of 22 shots tonight, plus 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 33 points, 18 rebounds and 2 assists. However, except for him, his teammates, including Liu Xiu, performed poorly.
Liu Xiu made 6 of 15 shots and only scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Kwame Brown had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Ray Allen only scored 12 points on 5 of 15 shots...
This morning, the media were still following ESPN's lead in hyping up the topic of whether the Trail Blazers could pass the regular season with 26 consecutive victories. After all, the Trail Blazers had won 10 consecutive games and 18 consecutive victories before, with impressive results.
But the Trail Blazers didn't leave people with any more suspense...
Nowitzki made 8 of 16 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, plus 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Terry scored 25 points and 5 assists, and Daniels got 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
