Chapter 988
988. Outrageous reasons
"Warden has not blocked a shot in 4 consecutive games, the longest this season... What a piece of shit, can you give some news to normal people..."
On the morning of the second day after losing to the Mavericks, Liu Xiu watched the news. They lost, but no one complained. The attention of the media and fans were all on his data.
When watching the news, he didn't feel any pressure at all, as if everything was so beautiful, singing and dancing...
55 wins and 21 losses is quite good. He feels that his teammates are in a good mood and are in a high mood for the game.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no problem.
Let’s practice shooting!
The combination of supporting basic skills and three-point basic skills is really terrible to practice.
Only then can he feel the cruelty of sports...
The schedule for the five teams in the Southwest Division to take turns continues. After a day's rest, the Blazers will face the Spurs at home.
In the final quarter, the Spurs were outscored by Liu Xiu and Ray Allen and only scored 21 points. The Trail Blazers won by 22 points in a single quarter.
At the age of 32, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged less than 25 points per game for the first time in his career. It was also the first time in his career that he was only selected to the second team for two consecutive years. At the age of 33, he became teammates with Magic Johnson and completely adjusted his playing style to hook shots.
Shooting is the main thing.
Duncan is in such an environment, and it is normal for Malone to want to kick someone.
The Spurs system is the hottest topic this season after Liu Xiu averaged a triple-double per game. The teamwork displayed by that system is terrible. It feels like every player is a puzzle piece. Sometimes someone on the Spurs team is injured. Pulled from the Development League
A player with unique characteristics can feel like a star when he plays.
In fact, if the Spurs players continue to play steadily, it is still possible to defend the victory, but the troika is not there, and when they need stars, they are really in chaos.
Duncan not only beat Anthony to be selected as the All-Star starter, but also became one of the favorites for MVP.
The Trail Blazers reversed the Spurs 125-112 and won their 56th victory of the season!
…
Then, at 7:40 in the evening, when Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were sitting on the bench in suits, not to mention other places, the Rose Garden Arena exploded, and the three people were booed wildly.
Liu Xiu scored his 41st triple-double this season, tying the historical record set by Big O in the 1961-1962 season.
On the Spurs side, the team play was unable to control the situation at this time. The team's offense was no match for the crazy offense of Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, and the star players were playing in isolation... The troika had all taken turns, and Finley was powerless.
But I concentrated on preparing for the game, thought about countless possibilities, made the most adequate preparations, and faced the game with the highest respect. As a result, the opponent's star player took a rest...
But the scary thing is that after the game started, the Trail Blazers did not play smoothly.
The Blazers' final regular season game with the Spurs attracted a lot of attention.
The two of them have the same characteristics as Duncan. They both made adjustments to their playing styles in their 30s, and their performance improved significantly compared to the previous year.
Duncan's situation seems to be the same as these two.
The day before yesterday, after the Spurs defeated the Nuggets at home, their record improved to 64 wins and 13 losses.
In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls have a record of 58 wins and 19 losses, and the Spurs have secured first place in the league 5 games in advance.
Although Liu Xiu thought this was funny, he really felt humiliated during the game last night.
At present, the oldest person to be selected to the first team is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was selected to the first team at the age of 39. The second is Malone, who was selected to the first team at the age of 36. The oldest person to be selected to the All-NBA Team is also Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The second oldest person to be selected to the All-NBA Team is Malone, who is 38 years old.
Selected to the third team.
The next morning, the news Liu Xiu saw was basically related to these two things.
Liu Xiu scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the final quarter. Ray Allen scored 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points in a single quarter, leading the team to a surge of 43 points.
Malone did not decline. He played for 11 consecutive years. By 1996, when he was 33 years old, he found that the four major centers were getting worse and worse. He originally took almost 50% of his long-range shots and began to increase the proportion of offense at the basket.
As for why the three were not notified in advance that they would take a rest, Popovich said that it had not been determined beforehand whether the severity of the three's injuries required a rest.
As a result, at the age of 34, his scoring did not fall but rose. He also achieved a shooting percentage that was only achieved in the two years when his physical fitness was best in his twenties and eighties, and won the first MVP trophy in his career.
At noon, due to public opinion, the league announced that it would fine the Spurs $150,000 and fine Popovich $50,000.
The Trail Blazers are currently ranked third in the Western Conference, and their dynasty deterrence is currently the strongest and most direct this year. Even if they stumble this season, public opinion generally believes that they will be completely different in the playoffs. The game tonight between the two teams will be regarded as
Preview for the Western Conference Finals.
Then, at the age of 33, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had the most efficient season of his career. With long-range shooting as his main scoring method, he shot an outrageous 60% from the field and won the sixth regular season MVP trophy of his career.
This makes Karl Malone want to come back and give Duncan a shot.
In the first quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 4 points 27-23. In the second quarter, the Spurs opened up a 1-point difference 32-31. In the third quarter, the Spurs continued their efforts, relying on Jacqui Vaughn and Finley.
, Barry, Scola, Bonner, Kurt Thomas and others scored a score of 32 to 28, opening the point difference to 9 points after three quarters!
In the final quarter, the role of the stars is truly revealed.
Duncan's evergreen qualities have already been demonstrated. Judging from Duncan's current purely floor-level playing style, Malone's record of being named to the All-NBA Team at his second oldest age may not be preserved.
In the end, Liu Xiu had 38 points, 13 rebounds and 14 assists, Randolph had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist, Ray Allen had 24 points, Hill had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Kwame Brown had 14 points and 9 rebounds...
This is the maximum penalty under relevant regulations.
What makes Duncan better than these two is that he has better team honors in the same age group. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won a championship after playing for ten years before meeting Magic. Malone has never won a championship in his life.
As a fan, when the team you support encounters the Spurs taking a break, you just watch it for fun.
Duncan was unable to play because of a hangover, Parker was absent due to a groin strain, and Ginobili was injured when he broke into the Batcave at night and was attacked by bats... This is the reason Popovich gave for resting the three players after the game.
What pissed him off the most was the Spurs, who didn't have a troika. They actually almost lost!
He is even more eager to play against the Spurs as soon as possible to avenge this attack.
However, the game was won, and there were good things. The "Superstars in Troubled Times" series of tasks: Enemy with the strongest system" tied with the Spurs 2-2. They did not fall behind in the regular season. The task was completed and the reward was obtained.
"20 Minutes Jordan (Talent Tendency): After activation, the host can specify 20 minutes to enter the burst state before the start of each game. The time outside the burst state will enter a random state. The upper limit of the random state is: no sense of presence, and Ji
When competing with Nobili, this talent can be turned on without activating it."
If this is the talent tendency he got when his comprehensive evaluation first reached 85, and if there are enough talent fragments, he will treat it as a transitional talent in the early stage... now it is like useless.
