Chapter 1041 1041. Double Kill Dayao! (seeking a monthly ticket)

On the 24th, Christmas Eve, the NBA offseason, Liu Xiu and his family celebrated the American New Year.

There is no game, but the media and fans will not rest, analyzing the situation in the early stage of the season, predicting the next situation, and the hottest topic-the Christmas game.

There are 5 Christmas games this year. The Bulls play the Spurs at home, the Magic play the Jazz at home, the Suns play the Nuggets at home, the Trail Blazers play the Pistons at home, and the Lakers play the Cavaliers at home.

When Liu Xiu first saw the schedule, his heart was cold.

In the past, he and Brother Dayao were Sigou's sweethearts!

Now, his duel with Brother Dayao is being used as the finale of 23VS24.

But think calmly, he concluded—this was the opportunity Stern had been waiting for.

If Jordan brought basketball to the world in 92, then this year he and Yao Ming made basketball a very popular sport all over the world.

Even if Meng Ba is hammered, it will not prevent the popularity of the NBA from skyrocketing around the world.

At this time, Stern will inevitably launch the star he wants to play.

Last season, Stern wanted to launch Paul VS James, but he couldn't push it.

There is also Kobe's amazing popularity in China. Stern, who has spent so many years promoting James, Wade, Paul, Arenas, Howard, etc. in the Chinese market in the past two years, must have fainted in the toilet.

Liu Xiu came up with a strange idea-Kobe explained that my fate is up to me?

With 12 years of playing experience and a 30-year-old 'senior age', he became the number one American player in the NBA. Liu Xiu looked back at those superstars in the history of the NBA. The master is truly unique.

There are 5 Christmas battles and the other 4 games. The media are analyzing what to watch and comparing their strengths.

The Bulls and the Spurs, the East and West regular season champions last season, two No. 21s with deep grievances, popular games.

The Magic and the Jazz, led by the two strongest players in the 04 and 05 classes, are not injured. They are representatives of the strongest new-generation teams in the East and West.

The Suns and the Nuggets are theoretically two offensive teams, and there is also a duel between the two MVPs of the 96th session.

Lakers and Cavaliers, 23VS24 is the hottest topic.

When it comes to the Trail Blazers... Liu Xiu watched the news with question marks in his head.

ヽ(._°)ノ

When they came here, did it become a math problem?

It could also be metaphysics.

The media are analyzing their chances of losing!

The basis of the analysis is that after 11 consecutive victories, they always lose a game after winning 3 or [-] consecutive victories.

Coincidentally, losing after 3 consecutive victories and losing after two consecutive victories are both twice.

So the predictions of the media are very tangled...

Then, it seems that their Trail Blazers fans made a point-the Blazers' super long winning streak at the beginning was 11 consecutive victories, an odd number.

Based on the analysis of the media, the probability of the Trail Blazers losing after three consecutive victories is greater than that after two consecutive victories. It is concluded that the probability of the Trail Blazers winning tomorrow is higher than losing.

After reading the related posts, Liu Xiu didn't know whether to be happy or hurt.

It is also uncertain whether it is really their fans who came to this amazing conclusion, or they came here to feed the poisonous milk.

The last day of the 3-day holiday has passed quickly, and tomorrow will continue the journey of the regular season.

Before going to bed, Liu Xiu turned on the system and drew 50 prizes.

One bullet speed +1 and one speed +1 were drawn, and they were all converted into attribute cards.

Those who are thinking about the 'top physical fitness' still haven't arrived.

But these two are not bad, there are 1 cards for speed +3, and 6 more cards can be added, and only 1 cards are needed for bullet speed +3.

There are 4 more excavator cards, and if you get 5 more, you can upgrade to level 9!

He is looking forward to it, he has already reached the 'bottle cap opening' and 'golf playing', and he doesn't know what it is like to go further.

...

On December 12, the Spurs beat the Bulls 25 to 122 in an away game, kicking off the mid-season.

这场比赛刘秀有时间看直播，马刺队那边，邓肯30分10板5助攻、帕克31分10助攻、吉诺比利24分三驾马车表现残暴。

公牛队方面，辛里奇21分8助攻、加内特24分8板5助攻、皮尔斯拿到全场最高的33分5板、奥库14分10板2助攻，四大球星表现同样出色。

But the role players of the Spurs scored much higher than the Bulls. The Spurs played 11 players and all scored. The Bulls played 9 players and only 8 scored.

Liu Xiu felt that the Bulls lost in this game was due to the scoring of the rotation... It can also be said that the Spurs team was too aggressive. Regardless of the scores of the two teams, Liu Xiu felt that both teams were actually working hard on defense. , It's just that the Spurs team is too aggressive, and several Bulls stars are forced to play life shots. It's not that the Bulls' rotation is not good, but that the Spurs are too good.

Then, the Magic beat the Jazz 85-79, and the Suns beat the Nuggets 102-94. Liu Xiu didn't have time to watch the two games, so she bought a pack of cigarettes and asked the staff to pay attention, and then let him know the results.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Pistons at home.

After the start of the game, the Pistons' style of play was not significantly different from the last match, but the Trail Blazers' style of play changed suddenly-three lineups were changed in the first quarter!

A style of play that uses Liu Xiu or Randolph to launch the offense in singles, a style of play that focuses on the flexible support of Dior in various long two-point positions and close-range support, and uses Gasol Jr. to play pick-and-roll with Liu Xiu or Dragic Attacking style of play.

The tactical concept is the same, but the offensive or supporting positions are different, which makes the Pistons a headache.

The Trail Blazers scored 30 points in the first quarter, leading the Pistons with 26 points by 4 points.

In the second quarter, Yao Ming played in the second half of the quarter. He made 5 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 8 points in the half quarter and led the team to a score of 15 to 9 in the half quarter.

The Trail Blazers played well in the first half of this quarter. When they entered the rotation lineup, strengthened the confrontation, and rested with multiple starters, they scored 12 to 11.

But after the whole quarter, the Trail Blazers lost 21 to 26 by 5 points.

After halftime, the score became 51 to 52, and the Trail Blazers were overtaken by the Pistons by 1 point!

In the third quarter, the Pistons continued to play defensively, and Philip Sanders wanted to regain the initiative.

Defense + star are their two strongest weapons at this stage.

There is nothing wrong with Philip Sanders' self-confidence. The Pistons played a strong defense in the third quarter. The Trail Blazers' offensive cooperation in this quarter was not good. Liu Xiu scored 9 points in a single quarter and the outlaws scored 5 points , Birdman made two deductions and scored 4 points, and the Trail Blazers only scored 22 points in a single quarter.

But Billups made 6 of 2 shots in a single quarter and only scored 4 points, plus 2 turnovers and no assists.

After playing against the Trail Blazers last time, Billups gained game experience and made a lot of preparations, showing his personal characteristics of "getting stronger with each battle".

But the preparations Billups made in the first half were all shown. They belonged to the "eye-catching" type, but the continuity was not high, and Liu Xiu was defended in the third quarter.

The Pistons scored 52 points in the first half, and Yao Ming led the way with 14 points in the half, but Billups' 10 points and 5 assists were not far behind. Can't make a shot... The Pistons only scored 19 points in the third quarter!

73 to 71, the Trail Blazers regained a 2-point lead!

Entering the inter-section break, Philip Sanders seemed to be arranging tactical adjustments with a cold face, but he was very helpless in his heart.

Randolph is back, and the Blazers have a stable inside strength. The mid-range can attract Ben Wallace's attention, and he can greatly restrain Yao Ming at close range. It seems that his statistics are not good. Only three quarters 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, but it played a huge role. One person limited half of the attention of Little Giant and Big Ben, and also made them consume more energy.

And the Trail Blazers don't stick to the tactics themselves. They have the best players in the world. Once they encounter trouble, the first thing they think of is the star, not the top-notch team.

However, Philip Sanders also made preparations. He consciously limited Yao Ming's playing time in the first three quarters. When Randolph didn't play, he let Yao Ming rest. He only played 21 minutes in the three quarters, allowing Ben Wallace to play a full game in the first three quarters. 31 minutes, hold up the defense.

In the fourth quarter, Philip Sanders dropped Ben Wallace every day!

This season, when playing against a strong team, if the first three quarters are tight, Ben Wallace will basically not get playing time in the final quarter. At the critical moment, Philip Sanders will replace Jason Maxhill at the power forward position. , Playing with Billups, Carter, James Jones, and Yao Ming.

Mark Hill is really a representative of the inspirational faction. He is a first-round pick. Although he is a little short, only 201 cm, he has a large tonnage of 118 kg. The sense of sight of the deputy "Big Ben's successor"... When he first entered the NBA, he had no offensive ability like Big Ben.

However, Maxiel's status as "Big Ben's successor" had not yet been firmly established, and he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury. After returning, his running and jumping ability was greatly reduced. Although he was still very good, he was comparable to Ben Wallace. There is a qualitative gap compared with the athletic ability of a young man.

A purely physical player with a broken Achilles tendon has been announced by the media that his career will end.

Although such injuries are rare, they all end up in the same way.

But he didn't give up, and worked hard to train and polish his skills. He changed from a rough guy to a high-quality role player with sharp cuts, excellent offensive rebounds, and a steady mid-range shot.

After winning the championship last season, the Pistons renewed their contract with this short insider who averaged 4 points and 2000 rebounds per game with a four-year contract of 4.3 million US dollars. The shooting percentage is as high as 5.8%, the highest in the team, and he has become the most comfortable insider for Yao Ming's partner.

The Trail Blazers coaching staff noticed this, and did not deploy a pick-and-roll offensive combination in the final quarter.

Maxhill's ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is excellent, and Ben Wallace took good care of this little brother, and he didn't hold back a hand when teaching defense.

It's just that Ben Wallace's defense relies on his explosive physical fitness. Max Hill was devastated by injuries and his athletic ability declined. He learned but couldn't do many defensive details.

But in terms of pick-and-roll defense, Maxhill is really good.

The Trail Blazers' style of play in the final quarter-two-gun tactics!

Liu Xiu and Ray Allen were the main attackers, Randolph contained and rushed inside, and the extrajudicial lunatics and parallel importers ensured the frontcourt defense.

For the Pistons, Yao Ming and Carter were the main attackers, while Billups controlled the rhythm and defended well.

Yao Ming played the final quarter, 5 of 3 shots and 4 of 3 free throws to get 9 points. Carter was average, 4 of 1 shots, scored a three-pointer, plus 2 of 2 free throws to get 5 points, but replaced Stuckey, who played him, scored two three-pointers and scored 8 points with a counter-attack layup.

Under the leadership of the three, the Pistons scored 30 points in the final quarter and played the best single-quarter offense of the game.

But on the other side, Ray Allen made 6 of 4 shots in the final quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 10 points in a single quarter.

Liu Xiu made 7 of 4 shots and didn't get a free throw, but 5 of 3 three-pointers, 11 points in a single quarter!

加上兰多夫的4分4板1助攻、法外狂徒7分、夸梅-布朗2分1板2助攻1盖帽……

The Trail Blazers used this lineup to score 34 points in the final quarter!

21投11中，其中三分球12中7，外加8中7的罚球，刘秀拿到36分6板9助攻3抢断2盖帽。

雷-阿伦15投8中，其中三分球7中5，加上5中5的罚球，拿到26分3板4助攻。

加上兰多夫的10分7板2助攻、夸梅-布朗7分7板4助攻1抢断2盖帽、法外狂徒14分……开拓者队今晚派出11人，全部都有得分。

活塞队方面，姚明29分9板3助攻1抢断3盖帽、卡特20分8板3助攻、比卢普斯13分8助攻、斯塔基17分3助攻、本-华莱士9分8板……今晚表现也很好了，但开拓者队更胜一筹！

107 to 101, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons by 6 points and won the Christmas game!

...

"...Comprehensive score A, congratulations to the host for getting the reward: 800 healing value."

"Let's make a three-pointer: the Lord of the Ages series of tasks.

Goal 1: The host needs to make more three-pointers than Vince Carter tonight. (7 to 3, done.)

Goal 2: Host and Ray Allen need to make more three-pointers than Vince Carter and Chauncey Billups tonight. (12 to 5: done.)

Congratulations to the host for receiving rewards: 2000 healing value, trapeze wristband (equipment).

Flying Wristband (Equipment): When dunking the ball to the basket, the strength of the shoulder and elbow is greatly improved, making the dunk more enjoyable. "

The healing value of 2000 is terrible, although the two guns on their side almost beat the two guns on the opposite side.

But the equipment is even better... He and the opponent scored three points, and the reward was related to dunks, which is ridiculous.

And it's too tasteless.

This reminded him of the 'King's headband' obtained by beating James to win the scoring title in the 07-08 season. The effect is that in the case of a specific mistake, the referee has a certain probability of ignoring it and not calling the mistake.

He tried it, but he couldn't get used to it at all. The techniques he had learned all along didn't support him playing like that.

He really understood why no one else could take advantage of the league's revised walking rules.

Because the NBA has changed the walking rules, the elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities in the United States have not changed them, and other countries have not changed them.

This can be regarded as a kind of talent, it requires more talent than the Porcelain Punching technique and the 'double withdrawal' technique of the king of JDZ.

After complying with the regulations, some people can learn the skills of the king of JDZ, and some people are even better than blue, but KING is really difficult to learn.

And without such a body, even if you really learn it, the power will be much worse.

After finishing the post-match chores, when Liu Xiu returned home, the final drama 23VS24 had come to an end.

科比和詹姆斯互相伤害，前者22投8中拿到21分7板2助攻、后者25投9中拿到24分12板4助攻。

But Kobe didn't shoot well, and the containment force was still enough, while James' breakthrough scoring efficiency was very poor.

靠着德隆的14分12助攻、大卫-韦斯特的20分13板、王治郅8分10板2助攻、阿里扎10分4板2抢断、奥多姆10分6板3助攻、费舍尔11分……

105 to 90, the Lakers beat the Cavaliers.

Even watching the battle report, Liu Xiu felt that it was boring, so the fans who watched the excitement would think this was a 'showdown'.

The current Lakers have 'dynasty-level' strength, and Kobe is at his peak.

The Cavaliers are theoretically still on the rise, and James is still in the growth period, and he will only turn 24 in a few days.

Although the current record of the Cavaliers is good, but in the playoffs, facing the Bulls, Pistons, Magic, and Raptors, Liu Xiu really can't think of any way for the Cavaliers to break through from the East.

After winning the game, Liu Xiu spent a happy Christmas and ushered in the middle of the season.

The next day, at noon on the 26th, the NBA officially announced that the starting voting for the 2009 Phoenix All-Star Weekend had begun.

The Trail Blazers got two days off after the Christmas game.

Liu Xiu can intuitively feel the slowdown of the team.

If it is half a month before the Christmas game, they have two days off. If they are playing at home, they will start intensive training in the afternoon of the first rest day, and they will not deliberately care about who the opponent is. Mainly adjust your own tactics.

On the second rest day, the coaching staff used the Nuggets as the imaginary enemy to prepare for the game in a very targeted manner in the preparation meeting, which further verified Liu Xiu's judgment.

In the future, the speed of adjustment will be slowed down to ensure the continuity of strength and health.

He feels that the new system still has a lot of imperfections, but not all his teammates are always full of energy and maintain sufficient physical strength like him.

The Spurs seem to have adjusted their tactical system after the Western Conference Finals in 06, but they are still adjusting this season...

He knew that this kind of thing required patience.

After the Christmas War, the annual "coaching change" has arrived.

After nearly 30 games, the situation of each team can almost be seen, and some teams will make a decision to change coaches because of the current situation.

The Pacers and Rick Carlisle broke up peacefully and bought out the contract with more than half a season left.

Originally, Carlisle's contract would expire after the end of this season. In the past 30 games, Bird confirmed that Carlisle and the team's situation of building a team around Bosh did not match. Carlisle is no longer the young man eight or nine years ago. After the championship, my mentality has changed, and I am more used to coaching mature players. Buying out the contract is a good way to get together and break up.

The new head coach of the Pacers is Jim O'Brien, an amazing coach who always finds a job.

The Kings fired Reggie Seuss to appease fans and put assistant coach Kenny Kanter as interim head coach.

The Grizzlies did something similar, firing Mark Jafaroni and signing Jonny Davis.

The Thunder fired PJ Carlesimo and signed young head coach Scott Brooks.

And blame the head coach for the team's bad times - the Wizards fired Eddie Jordan and signed Ed Trescott, an assistant coach at the University of Washington...

...

After two days of rest, on December 12, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Nuggets at home.

When Liu Xiu was browsing the forum before the game, he saw that many people's attention style was off-kilter - they felt that they would lose after winning 3 consecutive victories.

But there are many people who support such predictions, because one of the five games the Trail Blazers lost this season was against the Celtics.

Brother Dong didn't fight in the Christmas game, and Brother Dong is still absent today.

艾弗森今晚表现糟糕，17投进4中，虽然罚球9中9，但也只拿到17分4助攻。

刘秀17投9中，其中三分球9中4，加上10中10的罚球，拿到32分8板6助攻1抢断1盖帽，率领开拓者队以111比92轻取掘金队，拿下4连胜！

On the 30th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Celtics at home.

Starting lineup of Rondo, Ben Gordon, Jeff Green, Al Jefferson, Perkins, Eddie House, Glenn Davis, Tony Allen, Leon Powe… ... and others have a deep bench lineup.

But last summer, the Celtics failed to attract superstars to join, and Artest, who they were thinking of, refused to meet with them.

The reason is that the Celtics can't continue to fight - your fans call me Nagel every time they see me.

Others will be a little more reserved, and Artest, who hopes for world peace, directly revealed it in an interview.

After this matter came to light during the offseason, the Massachusetts State Legislature held a meeting, and members of the House of Representatives voted to increase the funds of the "Anti-Racial Discrimination" organization, so that the various departments of the "Anti-Racial Discrimination" have a better chance to carry out their work. Conditions, and promote the need to recruit a person of color in every group in the relevant departments of the project.

With the help of Artest, Massachusetts has led Texas and Utah in spending in this area.

After the start of the game, the Celtics were as tough as the Blazers expected, but this time the Blazers overcame the opponent's meat grinder style of play, controlled mistakes and fouls, and had the last laugh.

刘秀拿到31分4板11助攻、雷-阿伦15分、兰多夫18分11板、法外狂徒11分……开拓者队4人得分上双，以101比96险胜凯尔特人队，拿下5连胜！

After this game is over, the Trail Blazers have played all the games in 2008 and are about to usher in a new year's journey.

This year, their Trail Blazers didn't even get into the 'New Year's War' and 'New Year's War', which is really miserable.

The New Year's Eve game promoted by the NBA in China this year is the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, and the New Year's game is the game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons.

However, the last day of 2008 and the first day of 1 were both holidays, and Liu Xiu was also very happy.

I heard that both Paul and Boozer will play against the Lakers. After dinner on the 31st, when Liu Xiushou was waiting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, two big deals ignited the middle of the season!

The Cavaliers sent Big Z, Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden and others in exchange for Ben Wallace, Antawn Jamison, and Szczerbiak!
