The referee thought Liu Xiuzhen was sensible just now. He felt that the inclusion of Liu Xiu in the 'Rookies' list' listed by the referee committee was biased against the Chinese...

This is so thorny!

If you say revenge, take revenge!

There was almost a conflict again, but fortunately, Randolph and Ben Wallace exchanged greetings and restrained themselves.

The main reason was that Travis Outlaw obeyed the instructions and immediately stopped Rasheed Wallace who wanted to yell, thus avoiding unnecessary losses.

The person who felt sorry this time was Liu Xiu.

When we attacked just now, he was the one who was tricked.

Now, even though he was the one making plans, it didn't work out.

Billups stepped to the free throw line, and the fans at the scene became energetic and began to boo!

The score was 42 to 44, and the game reached the middle of the third quarter. If it hadn't been for the impact of the little flying squirrel, the fans would have almost fallen asleep.

Seeing the little flying squirrel being replaced, the fans were ready to fall asleep again... but they were awakened by two fouls!

After Liu Xiu was violently fouled, he stopped his teammates from clashing with each other. Fans who didn't like this rookie who was traded back for a first-class star like Bunchy Wells felt that this rookie was a bit responsible.

The latter foul, which he couldn't resist and chose to retaliate, made Trail Blazers fans feel - this guy is really not a good person!

But I have to say that Liu Xiu’s defense this time was very relieved!

Although the Trail Blazers have a bad reputation, there are really not many evil deeds on the court!

If you have to look for it, Rasheed Wallace yelled at the referee and was ejected. This is already one of the worst things.

There is a small group of fans who feel that the Trail Blazers are quite pitiful. Like Rasheed Wallace, they are often angered, yelled, and kicked out...

Liu Xiu's actions gave the fans a sense of déjà vu: "I am really a bad guy, and I will really take revenge."

Of course, a lot of fans don't like this. The Trail Blazers already have a bad reputation...

In any country, there is a group of people who have the simplicity of "put down their weapons, and others will not be afraid of us or target us."

But at the moment, he retaliates whenever he wants, which still makes the fans at the scene feel that they share the same hatred.

In these two rounds, the tone of the game changed again!

The overall tone was high-confrontation and high-tempo, and the Pistons quickly loosened the referee's standards.

The Trail Blazers can't stop it yet, they have to keep up, because the referee has really relaxed the penalty standards. If they don't keep up, they will only suffer a loss.

The referee only whistled according to the usual rules at that time. Each team has its own characteristics. The Trail Blazers have a very good defense and the Pistons have top defense. It is normal for teams with strong defenses to compete against each other.

The Pistons launched a frenzied confrontation in the second half of the first quarter, and the referee also chose to condone it.

Now, the tone is not just about loose penalties and high confrontation, but also rough fouls! Even rough active fouls!

It is impossible for the referee to tighten the whistle at this time. If he really wants to blow it, everyone will commit a foul in defense!

Next, Liu Xiu showed his toughness!

He is not strong, and his opponent knows that, so the defenses he encounters are always relatively simple. He relies on his body to push his way to the basket, and then takes a forced shot against the defense of Campbell or Ben Wallace.

It was a matter of whether he would make it or not, but the opportunity came to him, and he fought very resolutely!

Anyway, when the little flying squirrel who was on the sidelines saw this scene, he thought that if he was the one who was knocked over again and again... he felt that the matter of 'making a wedding dress for a rookie' was not unacceptable.

His little flying squirrel's little flesh couldn't bear such devastation.

By the end of the third quarter, the field had turned into a gladiatorial arena!

The game reached 11 minutes and 42 seconds of the third quarter when the Trail Blazers attacked.

Currently, the Trail Blazers' lineup is Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Pistons' lineup is Billups, Hamilton, Collis Williams, Ben Wallace, and Okur.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. He had fished on the defensive end just now and advanced slowly. Now he feels that it should be no problem to break through with force.

Yes, he felt the impact on his physical strength in the first two rounds, but it doesn't matter...

With 6 seconds left, Liu Xiu continued to charge!

He can still come! Billups was crushed away again and his whole body was in bad shape.

The speed of Liu Xiu's sudden attack was obviously slowed down. Even Okur could make up for it in time, but Billups, who was following Liu Xiu, did not dare to be careless. Sure enough, Liu Xiu's jump was full of energy again!

Facing Okur's defense, Liu Xiu took off and faced Okur, making a small throw...hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!

Hit!

Liu Xiu's score increased to 9 points in this quarter! He made 3 of 7 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 9 points in more than 8 minutes! The highest score in the game during this period!

With 3 seconds left, Hamilton caught the ball at halftime and turned around and hit a three-pointer. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers chased the score to 55-56, trailing only 1 point behind the Pistons entering the intersection break!

The fans at the scene were all excited!

The first three minutes are all kinds of shows by Little Flying Squirrel, and the last eight minutes are Liu Xiu's toughness.

In the past, these two people were linked together as a "villain rookie fighting a flying squirrel" in the training game. Now, the two people are working together to fend off the enemy... It feels a bit surreal for Trail Blazers fans.

But that's not important!

The situation was still clear. After the first half, the Trail Blazers were clearly at a disadvantage, and the initiative was taken by the Pistons. It seemed that the Trail Blazers were about to collapse... But in the first quarter of the game, Xiao Fei Shou and Liu Xiu both

People held the situation together!

The little flying squirrel scored 7 points in more than 3 minutes, and Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 1 assist in more than 8 minutes. The two led the team to a total of 23 points in a single quarter, beating the Pistons 23 to 19!

…

"This kid is great, isn't he Maurice?"

"That's right, he saw the advantage and the opportunity, so he jumped on it without hesitation."

"Yes, yes! And his determination. Although he is not strong enough, he is willing to take responsibility! And he also has extraordinary courage. Not everyone dares to rush to the basket like him again and again.

And his persistence, you almost replaced him just now, right? But he persisted and scored 4 points in the last three attacks..."

Entering the break, Maurice Cheeks was going to discuss with Kevin Plitchar how to rotate, but he heard Kevin Plitchar's crazy praise for Liu Xiu.

There's nothing wrong with that, except that Kevin Plit looked at the difference between Liu Xiu's front and back, like a psychotic patient.

However, Liu Xiu's performance in more than half a quarter of the game can really make people feel good.

The most important thing is that this kid actually held on!

Morris Cheeks Looking back now, if the Pistons' defensive strategy is to let the three of them, Jeff McGinnis and Derek Anderson, take charge, singles opportunities should still appear at the point guard. It's just that

These three people, under the opponent's defensive strategy, would either get angry and fight, or they would be bullied to death.

The vast majority of players are unwilling to fight. If they are suspended, they will lose their salary. Who would struggle with money?

The Pistons' defensive strategy is to capture this mentality of their opponents.

Larry Brown's strategy is so damaging!

But with Liu Xiu's body, he could go up and carry it! Moreover, Liu Xiu is a person who knows how to retaliate and doesn't suffer at all in terms of violence.

That old man worked hard in vain, and Maurice Cheeks felt a little happy thinking about it... Hey... This old man, is he scolding the No. 2 pick again? How miserable.

Everyone in the coaching circle knows about Larry Brown's bad character, but this guy has once again set a new limit for his colleagues' understanding.

After thinking wildly for a while, Maurice Cheeks concentrated on how to rotate in the final quarter.

Liu Xiu, a rookie, tried his best to stall the situation. Maurice Cheeks felt that as the coach, he had to seize this opportunity.

After Kevin Plitcha's wave of angry praises, he came to his senses and started discussing with Maurice Cheeks how to fight... Suddenly, bursts of boos erupted from the venue.

The two looked at each other doubtfully, then looked left, then looked again... and finally their eyes followed the others to the bench.

Listening to the booing, teasing, taunting...all the mixed sounds, Maurice Cheeks was speechless...

He had a hunch from the beginning when he heard the booing that it might be related to the player they had just praised angrily.

But what I didn't expect was that this guy was actually eating a box lunch!

Kevin Plitcha came to Liu Xiu sitting on the bench like a flash and yelled: "What are you doing!"

This speed makes Maurice Cheeks want to clap his hands.

If Kevin Plitchar could play so fast, might he not end his NBA career after playing only 94 games?

Liu Xiu raised his head, swallowed it in one gulp, picked up the lunch box and asked, "Coach, I'm hungry... why don't you take a few bites too?"

He had tried it before, and if he ate more than half of it, the effect would be triggered. He also tried giving the shrimp and beef cubes to others to eat. Others simply thought it was delicious. It was just ordinary food, and it was only effective if he ate it.

Not to mention, this lunch box tastes really good. Compared with the team’s nutritious meal, it can be said to be the most delicious thing in the world...Liu Xiu was a little reluctant to give it to others.

Seeing Liu Xiu's stingy intention to take the lunch back at any time, Kevin Plitt became furious and shouted: "Eat it quickly! Or throw it away!"

Then, Kevin Pritchar looked at Liu Xiu with a dark look on his face as he ate up the remaining half of the lunch box... "Mom, mess with Vaco!"

Seeing that his colleague was about to explode, Maurice Cheeks pulled Kevin Plitchar away and said to Liu Xiu: "Jace, you have a good rest and be ready to play."

Liu Xiu quickly responded: "I'm full and have strength. I can continue to fight!"

Young people are young people, even if their behavior on the court is too precocious and stable, they are still young people after all, and they desperately want to express themselves when they have the opportunity - Maurice Cheeks thought after hearing this.
