It's so boring. It's basically a bad team or a team with no hope of the playoffs. If you adjust your playing style, he will be more active in grabbing rebounds and maintaining average rebounds per game will not be a big problem!

But this mainly relies on adjustments at the team level. Without the help of the coach, he really has no good ideas. What he can do has always been done well.

What impressed Liu Xiu tonight was Reuben Patterson. This guy is now actively working hard to show his ability and wants to stay in the NBA.

People only remember the fact that the stick and the madman refused the lucrative contract, and ignore the unlucky guy "Kobe the Terminator".

Last season, the 31-year-old Reuben Patterson performed at the peak of his career with the Nuggets, playing full attendance, averaging 14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and his shooting percentage reached 54.8%.

His salary last season was US$6.84 million. In 2001, he signed with the Trail Blazers for 6 years in the last year of the full mid-level salary. When the contract was renewed, the Nuggets gave him a very generous contract of 15 million for 3 years.

Beautiful knife.

After all, at this age, he is not a skilled player, so it is a very good contract.

But Reuben Patterson refused and chose to test the free market.

However, despite his good performance, he was left out in the free market.

Those who dare to take over the team of Reuben Patterson, who has a lot of bad records, are probably the four evil forces in the NBA - the prison team, the nursing home, the bad boy army, and the mining bandits.

But the first three teams only have mid-level exceptions available during the offseason. The Trail Blazers are unwilling to take him. The money for the nursing home has been spent early. The Bad Boys just have a bad reputation and don't want a real bad boy to join...

Other teams were unwilling to offer more than the minimum salary. When he knew something was wrong and wanted to return to the Nuggets, the Nuggets withdrew the offer and put J.R. Smith on the bench to replace Reuben Patterson.

At this time, he is still unwilling to accept the basic salary from other teams...

Then, before the All-Star Weekend, Ruben Patterson, who was in his prime, was forced to join the Clippers with a minimum salary.

However, when he rejected the contract from the Nuggets, he didn't go around saying "it's not enough to support the family" like a madman, so the exposure of this matter was not high.

If Reuben Patterson hadn't come to the Trail Blazers for a tryout out of luck, Liu Xiu wouldn't have known about it.

After all, he was a former teammate. Seeing the "Kobe Terminator" who lost more than 10 million U.S. dollars after cheating, Liu Xiu held a moment of silence for him after the game...

…

After playing the Clippers, the Trail Blazers did not leave Los Angeles and had to play against the Los Angeles team after a day of rest.

Most of the Trail Blazers players chose to rest, go shopping, watch movies or theater performances, etc.

Liu Xiu was like that before, but this time, he chose to continue practicing three-pointers.

The secretaries responsible for renting the training hall all lamented to Paul Allen - the congressman really works hard when he wants to work hard.

Everyone on the Trail Blazers team was happy that Liu Xiu was training hard, but this made one person even more annoyed...

A certain player No. 24 who did not want to be named: My preparations were in vain today!

On March 23, at 7:40 pm, Liu Xiu once again led his teammates into the Staples Center. Compared to the day before yesterday, there were a lot of cheers, but today there were boos everywhere!

In the first ten years of the 21st century, there were two candidate teams for the 'best of the era', namely the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.

Both teams are dynasty teams, and this year is very crucial. If the Lakers win the championship this season, they will have a head start in the competition for the 'best of the era'.

But if the Trail Blazers win the championship this season, they will directly lock in the "best of the era".

Aristocrat fans will also be nervous. Now, the first thought of Lakers fans is to hope that their team will win the championship.

Otherwise, whoever wins the championship will do, anyway, it doesn’t have to be the Trail Blazers.

Similar thoughts exist among Trail Blazers fans.

"Los Angeles Lakers, 53 wins and 16 losses, averaging 109.3 points per game, conceding 101.6 points per game, shooting 48.1% from the field, limiting opponents to 45.1% from the field..."

"The Portland Trail Blazers, 48 ​​wins and 20 losses, averaged 108.9 points per game, conceded 103.5 points per game, shot 47.3% from the field, and limited their opponents to 46.1% from the field..."

After entering the stadium, Liu Xiu read the opponent's team's report and compared it with his own team's report. The overall performance was not much different.

However, this is the Trail Blazers' recent 6-game winning streak. Before the 6-game winning streak, the gap was quite obvious.

In the last 15 games, the Lakers have 15 wins and 2 losses!

There was a 7-game winning streak, a 4-game winning streak, and now we are on a 4-game winning streak.

Before the All-Star break, the Lakers were already very strong, ranking second in the Western Conference and fourth in the league with 38 wins and 14 losses.

But at that time, the Lakers lacked stability and needed Kobe to go berserk when playing against strong opponents.

Now the Lakers have a stable strong point in David West, who can play in singles and pick-and-roll, and can stably support the offense when Wang Zhizhi is resting... After the All-Star Weekend, the Lakers have become a stable and powerful team.

-Top teams.

Liu Xiu is in trouble. The league arranged all the games between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers after the All-Star Weekend. What the hell!

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Wang Zhizhi. The game started, and the Trail Blazers attacked first!

Lakers starting lineup: Deron, Kobe, Luke Walton, David West, Wang Zhizhi.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Liu Xiu quickly advanced after receiving the ball, and his teammates immediately moved forward after Kwame Brown received the ball.

After passing the center circle, Liu Xiu did not slow down and rushed straight to the three-point line. He pulled the ball in the top arc and changed directions. Deron made accurate predictions and moved laterally in time. He learned to play next to Kobe. His defense was much better than in the original time and space.

many.

But if we move in time and move in place, we can’t hold it back!

Liu Xiu brutally drove Delong away and rushed inside!

Kobe's mid-range defense didn't have time. Deron watched Liu Xiu enter the paint and hit Wang Zhizhi's pull rod for a layup...

It’s all numb!

Deron just felt like he was encountering James who was rushing in with Parker's speed, and this James also has the same inside steps as Wade!

So strong, so fast, and so explosive!

What Kobe cares about is the opponent's Hill, and he has long been used to Liu Xiu's bug-level physical condition.

And in his opinion, Liu Xiu is not without flaws. He is only 191 centimeters tall when wearing shoes, which limits Liu Xiu a lot, such as defense.

The last time they played against each other, he didn't feel it deeply. At that time, he was still in the excitement of having David West as his teammate.

Now he sees that Hill can play fast breaks with the Trail Blazers at his age...another day of looking down on Walton Jr.

If Luke Walton hadn't looked exactly like his father when he was young, Kobe would have thought Walton was the elder king next door.

His physical fitness is much different from that of his father. Although he has comprehensive skills, he can't do anything well.

When the Lakers attacked, Deron faced Liu Xiu's defense and lobbed the ball to Kobe, who was leaning against Hill in the high position on the right side of the free throw line. Kobe turned around and faced the frame, then turned left and entered the paint, stopped suddenly, and retreated.
Chapter completed!
