bad!

Too bad!

Byron Scott despised the warden crazily in his heart and knew how to bully the young man.

The impatience on David West's face was obviously not an objection to the warden's words, but agreement.

This guy is impatient because he is the head coach and the two No. 1 picks!

But Byron Scott didn't have any superficial emotions other than inner contempt and a few curse words in his mind.

He also felt that the management's arrangement was wrong, but he couldn't twist his thigh with his arm, so he had no choice but to obey this arrangement.

Kwame Brown's big block, Liu Xiu's dunk, and in one offensive and defensive round, the two of them took turns bullying the opponent's top two picks.

This was a huge blow to the low morale of the Hornets. In the next few rounds, the Hornets scored one goal in 5 shots, while for the Trail Blazers, after Liu Xiu scored another single,

Started 'Kobe Time' and launched a crazy offensive!

After scoring 7 points in a row to go 7-0, Liu Xiu threw another three-pointer into Lexton.

Next, the Hornets finally got two points, but then Devin Brown, who was guarding Liu Xiu, was knocked away by Liu Xiu's breakthrough fake move. Liu Xiu stepped back and hit a three-pointer, making the score 13-2!

Although Devin Brown's defense has no obvious flaws, it has no bright spots. He is more suitable for playing a supporting role in a team with excellent defensive discipline, rather than being a leading player.

The Hornets then used Desmond Mason to defend Liu Xiu, and it was even worse. Liu Xiu accelerated in the middle circle and broke through in a different direction. Desmond Mason's speed was okay, but it was a complete disaster to defend against a speedy defender.

Liu Xiu broke into the paint and hit a layup in two consecutive rounds.

The Hornets were exhausted on the defensive end during this period, and were almost desperate in the end. Except for the two points relying on Lexton's baseline floater, all other shots were perfect!

In the first 4 and a half minutes, Liu Xiu scored 17 points, beating the Hornets 17-2!

During this period, whenever Bogut or Aldridge performed poorly, Liu Xiu would ask David West loudly on the sidelines - "You actually substituted for these two people?"

Regarding the warden's targeting, Bogut didn't know why, but he had fought several times and was used to it, so he chose to admit it again and let him go.

But Aldridge couldn't accept it - why are you mocking me without any grievance? Can I decide who starts?

Regarding this situation, the teammates who had no chance to shoot at the beginning were all helping Liu Xiu to bully the two men. When the two men caught the ball, everyone guarded them hard.

As for Kwame Brown, who was once criticized as a parallel importer and was bullied miserably in the first three years of his career, does he have any sympathy for the two of them?

I don’t know about this, but Kwame Brown is the one who bullies the two of them the most...

…

Byron Scott was replaced by the combination of Bobby Jackson, Russell Butler, Desmond Mason, David West, and Aldridge.

Originally, the person David West was dissatisfied with was the coach and the management's arrangements. He neither understood nor agreed with the management's rhetoric. He felt that those people were brainwashing him and letting him play in the contract year.

Giving up the starting lineup will affect his contract renewal price. …

Battier was on the bench for most of the season during his contract year. It was only two years before he returned to the starting lineup after taking a salary cut and renewing his contract.

But what he was initially dissatisfied with was only the management and coaching staff. He had no clear dissatisfaction with the two No. 1 picks. He was still reasonable.

But the warden turned a deaf ear and still yelled in front of so many people...

When David West looks at Aldridge now, he feels that the other player has bad intentions, that he is not a good person and has stolen his starting spot.

For the Trail Blazers, Maurice Cheeks replaced the frontcourt combination of Stevenson, Millsap, and Kwame Brown, while Liu Xiu and Ray Allen continued to play.

After the timeout, the Hornets attack.

Liu Xiu dominated the team's first 7 attacks, but instead of being hit, his teammates were even more excited!

After the tough frontcourt trio came on the field, the entire temperament of the Trail Blazers changed! They were more fierce and ruthless than before!

Bobby Jackson faced Liu Xiu's single defense and had no outside shooting opportunities. Liu Xiu did a very good job of defending. He looked at the Blazers' vicious frontcourt trio and immediately gave up the idea of ​​a breakthrough.

But unlike the starting Claxton who couldn't do anything in isolation and could only play blindly, Bobby Jackson had another way. He asked David West for a pick-and-roll!

David West broke through after catching the ball. Facing Liu Xiu, who was changing defense, he squeezed a few steps, got as close to the basket as possible, took the initiative to lean against Liu Xiu before double-teaming for a layup, and then went down the line.

Turn around, take off, hit the mid-range shot...hit!

After David West scored, some fans started shouting, "West, you actually came on the bench for them?", and then a lot of fans followed suit.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu continued to play singles on the outside, shooting three-pointers with one step... Unfortunately, this shot was so good that he failed to score 20 points in a row...

The fans at the scene let out a sigh of regret, but when the Hornets attacked, the fans became angry again, shouting "Come on West" and "Come on West".

Byron Scott looked around the arena, and he felt deeply what it meant - everyone in Portland is evil!

Former Sixth Man of the Year Bobby Jackson, plus David West's backup dual-core, is something. Liu Xiu and Millsap failed to guard against their pick-and-roll offense. Stevenson or Ray

-Allen helped double attack, Desmond Mason cut to the frame and Russell Butler also did a good job in connecting shots. The Hornets finally had a stable way to score.

As Maurice Cheeks judged, the Hornets are capable, their lineup is already very good, and they will have the conditions to rise when the two No. 1 picks come out.

But no matter how well Bobby Jackson and David West performed offensively, Kwame Brown also chose to keep an eye on Aldridge and did not give the new No. 1 pick a chance to take the shot and get to the basket to eat the pie.

This was the temporary arrangement Maurice Cheeks made for Kwame Brown on the sidelines after David West scored two goals.

Psychological warfare - to make David West more dissatisfied with the two No. 1 picks who are not as good as him, and to make the two No. 1 picks feel inferior to him. It would be better if it can cause psychological problems in the entire opponent's team...

In addition, the Trail Blazers players did not score while watching the opponent.

On the defensive end, they continue to give physical confrontation to Russell Butler, David West, and Bobby Jackson, which affects their feel.

On the offensive end, after Liu Xiu threw 7 goals wildly at the beginning, he stopped taking unlimited shots and started a double wave play in the super backcourt!

The effect showed quickly. As the game progressed, Russell Butler's shots began to fail, and Desmond Mason's simple and rough cutting opportunities became less and less...

After the first quarter, although the Hornets had a highlight moment, they still only scored 14 points in a single quarter, while the Trail Blazers scored 37 points in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu made 10 of 13 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 25 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block!
Chapter completed!
