Chapter 935 935. The little cannon was hammered again (Happy New Year)

"Any team, when players like Butcher or Kwame are injured, the strength will be affected, and we don't have to make decisions in such a hurry.

I think we need to resolutely adjust our direction. We have to believe that we can stay healthy in the playoffs and not be affected by 14 consecutive wins. We have won three consecutive championships, so why do we still have such an anxious mentality."

Liu Xiu's tone was full of disgust.

The coach was shocked and said: "I said the same, but they were so anxious last night, which is really helpless.

Moreover, at this stage of the season, it is normal for the record to fluctuate, even if no one is injured."

"That's right, that's right," Liu Xiu was very happy to have found someone with whom he shared a common language: "Now it's time to persevere and polish the details of tactics, instead of just thinking about making changes when encountering some problems..."

What Liu Xiu said was very reasonable. The coach had said the same thing before. But at that time, other members of the coaching staff were really anxious, and the boss also came to mention it. Under pressure, they were all thinking about how to solve the problem.

When the top figure on the coaching staff and the top star among the players said this, the rest of the coaching staff and management began to accept this idea.

However, the tone of these two guys is so irritating that they really deserve a beating!

…

A lunch bought hundreds of healing points, and Liu Xiu thought it was okay.

In the second quarter, the Jazz fought back, their offensive efficiency improved a bit, and their defense was better, but they still lost by 3 points, 25 to 28 in a single quarter.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, after sending the team away, he recalled what was said in the meeting.

Two days of rest have passed, and on January 6th, the Trail Blazers' 34th game day of the season has arrived.

The strongest teammate inside is injured, but he is still the three-point champion!

After playing the Jazz, the Trail Blazers got another two days of rest.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' home game against the Jazz started.

Paul made 9 of 12 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, plus 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 23 points and 7 assists very efficiently.

Bosh seems to have entered a bottleneck period, facing problems such as adjusting his playing style and finding his role.

4th Company Master is on!

On January 9, the Trail Blazers came to the Air Canada Center to challenge the Raptors away from home.

Ray Allen made 14 of 22 shots, including 10 of 15 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 44 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single game.

This is very important. Judging from the current situation of the two teams, there is a high probability of playing against each other in the first and second rounds. For the Jazz and Paul, we have to pay attention to this matter.

The opponent we welcome is the Jazz again! This is the fourth time they have met this season!

The two teams met three times before, with the Trail Blazers winning 2 and losing 1.

After finally beating Liu Xiu once, I gained a little confidence. Seeing that the Trail Blazers entered a period of weakness after a winning streak, and two main players were injured, I felt that I could gain a little more confidence.

"Chris Bosh, 23 years old, 211 cm, 107 kg, PF, ability evaluation 89... averaged 21 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game..."

Now it's just a little more effort to go back to my own rebounding style.

Paul wants to even the score tonight!

But if you let him choose again, he will still choose to refuse adjustment.

But his mentality was about to collapse!

Liu Xiu made 9 of 16 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists.

The Jazz successfully limited the Trail Blazers to only 22 points in the third quarter, but the Jazz were also defended by the Trail Blazers and only scored 23 points.

"Darko Milicic, 22 years old, 213 cm, 124 kg, C/PF, ability evaluation 91, offense 89, defense 93, passing 81... averaged 20.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.2 blocks per game..."

It's just that with his teammates helping him to get in position, it becomes easier for him to grab rebounds. He puts more energy into attacking after grabbing rebounds, and he gets used to it.

Blake continues to be absent, Randolph cannot play...

After firmly rejecting it, he would still have a trace of regret. If the whole team turned into a thunderbolt, the manhole cover would definitely be welded shut, making it impossible to get out even if he tried to climb out.

At least there is no loss.

The Trail Blazers defended the Jazz to only 22 points in the first quarter. Moreover, relying on 13-7 rebounds and 9-5 defensive rebounds in a single quarter, Liu Xiu led the Blazers with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in a single quarter.

The team scored 36 points in a single quarter!

Paul, who had 8 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, was numb!

In addition to Kwame Brown's 14 points and 16 rebounds, the Outlaws' 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist...

103 to 89, the Trail Blazers beat the visiting Jazz!

After entering the stadium, Liu Xiu looked at the player detection report of the opponent's twin towers.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz by 17 points 64 to 47!

In the first half, Ray Allen shot like crazy!

7 of 7 three-pointers in the half, plus 1 layup, 1 long two-pointer, 3 free throws, and 29 points in the half!

Everything else was fine. The four counterattacks followed up with Liu Xiu's back pass and the chasing three-pointer made the Jazz's head buzz.

Reducing counterattacks and putting more scoring energy into positional warfare and offense will also take more effort. In this case, it is better not to change the style of play.

At the beginning of the game, the Trail Blazers began to rush aggressively on the offensive end and try their best to block the defense on the defensive end.

This was analyzed by the media and experts this year. Liu Xiu has seen news about this matter.

In the final quarter, the two teams fought hard on defense. The Trail Blazers and Jazz scored 17 to 19, firmly holding on to the victory!

The first to succeed was the defensive end!

It takes more effort anyway, so you don’t have to use your brain to think about more complicated things, which will make it easier.

They are 'challengers' and need to accumulate more confidence and courage, otherwise they will not have enough momentum in the playoffs, which will be very detrimental to a young team like them.

Also, he is a very good rebounder. Even if his teammates didn't deliberately help him get into position, he could average 8+ rebounds per game before.

The Trail Blazers don't care about this, but they are under great pressure.

After returning from the intermission, Ray Allen failed to hit three-pointers. He played 7 minutes in the third quarter and 10 minutes in the fourth quarter. In total, he made 3 of 8 three-pointers, but it was enough.

The opponent's touch exploded. On their side, Boozer made 3 of 15, Kirilenko made 5 of 13, and Jack Jack made 2 of 12... What the hell!

…

After a full day of rest, on the 8th, Liu Xiu left Portland with the team, carrying thick clothes, and headed for the far north.

With Randolph absent, the Trail Blazers' overall offense will be greatly affected, but the defensive combination of Millsap and Kwame Brown greatly makes up for Hill's limited lateral movement due to a waist injury.

Defensive impact.

Ray Allen didn't say anything, but he spoke with practical actions, and Liu Xiu also understood.

As a result, Ray Allen broke out, Liu Xiu triple-double, and his little cannon was beaten again!

In the fifth year of his career, Milicic completely surpassed Bosh and became the strongest player on the Raptors. He averaged a new high in assists per game and ranked second in the league in blocks per game, second only to the player who averaged 3.6 blocks per game.

Canby.

But what interests Liu Xiu the most about the Raptors is Spain’s leading point guard, Jose Calderon.
