Liu Xiu was very happy to see the excitement of the Nets.

While being happy, he also pretended a little bit - "Hey, in just a few years, I will witness with my own eyes the rise and decline of a strong team competing for the championship..."

On November 25, the Trail Blazers came to the Arco Arena in the capital of California to challenge the Kings away from home.

The Kings sent out a combination of Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin, Mike Dunleavy, Kenny Thomas, and Brad Miller.

Kings fans never imagined that the last remaining member of the Kings' five-strong team would be Bibby, who had the least personal honors!

Doug Christie, first defense; Divac, All-Star; Webb, first team; Peja, second team.

Bibby, on the other hand, was only selected to the All-Rookie Team and two Player of the Week in his rookie season, and had no other individual awards.

Kings fans were clamoring to trade this member of the Five Tigers for so-and-so, and trade that one for so-and-so. The Kings management really responded to the fans' requests and made the trade.

Now, Kings fans are scolding the Kings management again, blaming them for making random trades. It would be better not to trade at all. Even if the original lineup does nothing, it can still maintain the 50-win strength for several years, instead of now struggling to compete for a playoff spot.

The Trail Blazers continue to send out a skilled defensive frontcourt tonight: Outlaws, Kwame Brown, and McDyess, and the back line is still Liu Xiu and Ray Allen.

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Kings by 8 points, 26-18. Liu Xiu scored 11 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, beating the Kings very well.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers once again led the Kings by 1 point 23-22, and took a 9-point lead 49-40 at halftime.

With 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the half, Liu Xiu was soaring again tonight!

Just when Kings fans thought they were about to give up again, Kevin Martin made 8 of 8 free throws in the third quarter, plus scored two three-pointers, a layup, and scored 18 points, leading the Kings to score 18 points in a single quarter.

To 34 minutes!

The Trail Blazers scored 24 points in the second quarter, a decent performance. The opponent's offense was too fierce!

74 to 73, the Kings overtook the score!

For the Trail Blazers, it didn't matter that the score was overtaken. What was critical was that they were in a foul crisis.

Kevin Martin got 8 free throws. In fact, he caused a total of 5 fouls on the Trail Blazers' front line defenders in the third quarter.

Twice was an outlaw, and three times was Ray Allen. Both committed two fouls in the first half... So, Ray Allen got his 6th foul at the beginning of the final quarter!

It's not that Ray Allen is impulsive, and the referee's call is quite normal, but that after two years of training, Kevin Martin's foul-making skills have matured!

Soon, the lawless gangster also committed five fouls, and the defensive end was timid.

When it was Liu Xiu and Stevenson's turn to defend Kevin Martin, neither was suitable. Stevenson's defense was too aggressive, and Liu Xiu was more cautious after knowing that he would suffer a loss.

The most critical thing is that Ray Allen was ejected at the beginning of the final quarter. In the third quarter, Ray Allen was replaced after half a quarter. Liu Xiu started throwing wildly, and he could only throw wildly in the final quarter...

Liu Xiu scored 13 points in the final quarter and led the Trail Blazers to 25 points in the final quarter.

In this game, Liu Xiu basically single-handedly held up the Blazers' scoring in every quarter.

But the Kings have already shown momentum and scored 33 points in the final quarter!

Although Liu Xiu made 17 of 33 shots tonight, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws, he scored 48 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Blake scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and Raheem scored 16 points.

...The Trail Blazers still lost to the Kings 98-107!

Kevin Martin made 8 of 13 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, plus 20 of 20 free throws, scoring 40 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist!

…

A team that has won two consecutive championships has many shortcomings.

Stars who want to become famous will definitely regard them as their biggest targets.

Because no matter how the media criticizes the Trail Blazers, as long as a star performs well against the Trail Blazers, they will receive extra attention.

Kevin Martin's 40 points in a single game this time is enough to become famous in one battle!

There is an interesting thing about Kevin Martin after he entered the NBA. He liked to go to the court, and he dressed so plainly that he looked like an employee. He was once regarded as a salesman, because apart from his height, figure, and appearance, he did not look like an athlete at all. Instead, he looked like an athlete.

Drug addicts are still very depressed.

This season Kevin Martin has become a 20+ scorer per game, but he is still not famous.

Finally, after defeating the Trail Blazers, Kevin Martin became famous!

But Kevin Martin has tasted how great it is to be famous, and will also taste the side effects of being famous...

He is being targeted by some new generation stars!

We are so strong that it would be extremely difficult to defeat the warden even once. Why does this guy have to win?

If you can't beat the warden, you can't beat a Kevin Martin?

On Liu Xiu's side, he is also eyeing Kevin Martin.

What he cares about is Kevin Martin's style of play, which is worth learning from.

Of course, what he cares more about is the revenge that was reversed this time. He must avenge this revenge next time they fight!

The next morning, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team. After a night's rest, another game day arrived on November 27.

This time we have a strong enemy, and we are facing a tough battle.

During the training camp for the World Championships, Liu Xiu, who had just won two consecutive NBA championships, was in high spirits. When chatting with Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, San Sha and others about the increasingly powerful Eastern Conference, Liu Xiu did not take the Pacers seriously at all, saying that the Pacers

Only Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, Tian Zun.

This time I was beaten by the iron-clad defense built by three people...

Liu Xiu scored 30 points on 11 of 27 shots, Ray Allen scored 12 points on 4 of 11 shots, and 15 points on 6 of 12 shots... The Trail Blazers lost to the Pacers 77-85 and lost.

This defensive battle.

Tianzun had 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks, Jermaine O'Neal had 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and Artest had 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. These are the only three people on the Pacers team, but

It looks like Liu Xiu is the only one on the Trail Blazers tonight...

…

The game against the Pacers is the first of four consecutive home games, and there are three more home games to follow.

After losing to the Pacers, I only had one night's rest. On November 29th, another game day arrived. Tonight, we have another strong opponent!

And the opponent is a strong team competing for first place in the Western Conference and first place in the league.

Liu Xiu found that he hadn't felt like this for a long time - in a hurry!

The stronger the strength and the greater the advantage, the easier it will be to prepare for war.

Now, he seems to be back in his rookie season, racking his brains before every game to figure out how to play better.

This strange yet familiar feeling felt good to him!
