After the game against the Kings, Kevin Plitchar felt that Liu Xiu has the potential to become Glenn Rice at the point guard position. He is strong, has shooting talent, can control and pass.

Tonight, Liu Xiu went on the court and stood with Baron Davis. Kevin Plitcha found that Liu Xiu, who claimed to be 193, and Baron Davis had similar body shapes, especially the protruding lower abdomen before the game started.

, and they are all so strong and powerful.

Now, Liu Xiu, who played 7 minutes and 49 seconds, scored 2 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal on 1 of 3 shots, and Kevin Plitcha was disillusioned... How does he look a bit like Jason Kidd?

A rookie who has shooting talent, is as big as Baron Davis, and plays like Kidd?

Maurice Cheeks' idea is much simpler - it's a genius.

Just looking at what Liu Xiu did did not exceed his understanding of Liu Xiu's ability, it was just that Liu Xiu did it too well.

Maurice Cheeks patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder who was sitting on the bench: "Jace, take a rest, that guy needs to rest too, take a good rest and continue to deal with him!"

Liu Xiu nodded, he really needed to take a good rest.

He estimated that his physical condition after playing for nearly 8 minutes in the first quarter tonight was slightly worse than usually playing half a quarter in the second half of the first quarter.

But he was very satisfied. Without the bonus of the 'template' to temporarily increase his physical strength to the top level, he would not have been able to persist for so long.

The current physical consumption situation is just a little more compared to the usual ‘just right’ playing style, which is already very good.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers replaced Damon Stoudemire, Matt Carroll, Wesley Person, Dale Davis, and Spandinha.

.

The Hornets sent out a combination of David Wesley, Darrell Armstrong, Steve Smith, David West, and Sean Lukes.

Hornets coach Tim Floyd is not a famous coach. Before this season, his coaching resume spanned more than three seasons and won a total of 49 games, but it left a great impression on NBA fans of this era.

He was deeply impressed because he had coached the Bulls for more than three seasons before.

In 1998, after Jackson's contract with the Bulls expired, the Bulls directly signed a long-term contract with Tim Floyd, leaving Bulls fans breathless...

In terms of coaching, Tim Floyd also has an impressive aspect - his insistence on dual point guards.

Let me put it this way, Tim Floyd has some ability, good defensive commanding ability, and the dual point guard strategy is also remarkable. Without him, Baron Davis's scoring ability would not be unleashed.

It was mainly based on player ability. The main role players of that Bulls team were already seriously aging in the 1997-98 season. After winning the championship, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Steve Kerr...all left.

Even the clothing bishop and the fortune teller can't save the inevitable collapse of the dynasty.

Now, although the Hornets' lineup is a bit older, they have enough manpower and strong strength. If Mashburn hadn't been seriously injured, the Hornets' strength would not have declined so quickly.

After the start of the second quarter, the Hornets' dual point guards showed off their power again!

David Wesley and Darrell Armstrong, the two offensive point guards, worked together to hit a 7-2 wave as soon as they started!

31 to 32, the Hornets narrowed the point difference to 1 point!

The little flying squirrel met David Wesley, and it was not easy to fight.

Maurice Cheeks has a really vicious vision. When he was rotating for more than 4 minutes in the first quarter, he concluded that it would be difficult for the Flying Squirrel to fight against David Wesley, let alone the Flying Squirrel.

When it comes to Allen Iverson, he can be very defensive.

It's time for the Trail Blazers to attack again. Under the guidance of David Wesley, the little flying squirrel was blocked on the left side of the free throw line, looking for his teammates to score the ball...

Matt Carroll received the ball from the Little Flying Squirrel, met West for defense, took off after taking a shot, and was knocked down by West, but before the contact, he had already thrown the ball out, and with the referee's whistle

Sound, Matt Carroll scored!

Immediately afterwards, he also scored an extra penalty, Matt Carroll successfully hit four points, 36 to 31, and the point difference came to 5 points again.

Liu Xiu on the sidelines stood up and applauded Matt Carroll!

Little Flying Squirrel, Butcher, Tianzun... even if they are Kobe's Terminator, Outlaws, these people perform some outstanding performances, Liu Xiu will not be too excited, he thinks it is right.

But Matt Carroll, he always gives enthusiastic cheers and encouragement.

He always shines in some casual places with a light that makes his friends yearn for him.

Liu Xiu remembered that this was not the first time Matt Carroll hit four points. When they were suspended before, Matt Carroll had another time.

Maurice Cheeks is in pain now, and the opponent's Baron Davis has completely messed up the Blazers' rotation.

As it stands now, it seems that the Flying Squirrel is unable to deal with David Wesley and cannot lead the team.

But in fact, the Trail Blazers scored 6 points in 4 rounds in the second quarter, which was very good. They shot 2 of 4 from the field. Although Matt Carroll's four points was a stroke of genius, they performed well on the offensive end.

.

The focus is on defense. Baron Davis scored 12 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. Even in the second half of the quarter when he seemed to be restricted by Liu Xiu, he still scored 8 points and 1 assist. It was not Baron Davis who was restricted by Liu Xiu.

Si's personal performance just makes Baron Davis play harder and reduces the consumption of the inside.

But with Baron Davis on the court, Maurice Cheeks did not dare to replace Randolph and Rasheed Wallace. The former wanted to maintain the necessary offensive deterrent in the penalty area, and the latter wanted to ensure the ability to protect the frame.

, so these two people were full.

Only then did the rotation phase appear. Dale Davis was unable to protect the rim alone, and he lacked the ability to score inside on the offensive end.

Of course, when the Flying Squirrel encountered David Wesley, who was good at dealing with short and fast defenders, it was also the main reason why he couldn't get up and lead the team.

Matt Carroll scored four points and helped the Trail Blazers struggle for a while. In the middle of the second quarter, the Hornets scored two goals in a row. Steve Smith hit a three-pointer and West made a catch.

The shot was made, beating the Trail Blazers 5-1, and the score came to 42-41. The Hornets overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point and stopped the Trail Blazers!

Steve Smith has no mercy at all when facing his old club.

He was one of the key players in the 1999-00 season when the Trail Blazers reached the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers in the tiebreaker. He won a championship ring with the Spurs last season and his career was complete.

The Trail Blazers also offered Steve Smith a one-year contract during the offseason, but he was rejected.

Entering the timeout, watching Steve Smith being celebrated by the players on the opposite side, Maurice Cheeks was very sorry. This veteran is really suitable for their Trail Blazers, but this man is a gentleman and looks down upon what he has become.

The old boss of the prison.

You can only envy other people's players, and your enthusiasm should be focused on your own players.

Maurice Cheeks mobilized his enthusiasm and shouted: "Jace, gogogo, come on, the bearded man is coming on, go and guard him!"

The head coach's arrogance almost reached Liu Xiu's waist!

After Morris Cheeks finished shouting, his face turned red. Fortunately, he was dark, unshaven, and had a sloppy appearance, otherwise he would be embarrassed and noticed by others.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and clenched his hands on his chest: "I know, I will work hard! Guard him from death!"

There is no energy at all, and the thought of being forced to do business half-heartedly is not concealed at all.

"Healing value +99, from Maurice Cheeks."

Maurice Cheeks originally thought that as long as he was not embarrassed, others would be the ones to embarrass him. Now, he wants to be strangled to death by Liu Xiu!

At this time, Liu Xiu's system prompt came!

"Talent: Template.

The time the host and Baron Davis were on the court at the same time: 7 minutes and 49 seconds, the time the host and Baron Davis faced each other: 7 minutes and 03 seconds.

For a moment, Liu Xiu lost his mind and gained part of the 'memory' in his mind. He also 'knew' that he had gained some 'muscle memory'. The magical thing was that he could clearly know that after this game, these temporary

Everything gained will disappear.

The bonus of the talent 'Template' has been improved!

First it’s physical strength, then it’s the change of direction in front of the body and the emergency stop jumper...

‘This seems to be that Big Beard has shown stronger abilities or characteristics than me during the duel time with me. As the duel time increases, the bonus I get starts to increase?’

However, there is still a big gap between him and me! Big Beard’s physical strength is 95+, and he can play 40+ minutes per game. After the bonus, it is only 90; Big Beard’s change of direction in front of the body is a first-class level of 86, and he can make emergency stop jumpers.

It is 89 which is close to the top level.

At this time, another task comes!

Reward: Baron Davis designated technical training method (first-class).

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and roared in her heart - Your sister: The system!

Liu Xiu looked at another task.

"Template: I am the Warden series of tasks.
