Chapter 462
462. The answer is urgent
In the end, Liu Xiu's personal score was fixed at 46 points, making 16 of 32 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws.
Originally Liu Xiu wanted to throw a few more, but Maurice Cheeks decided to replace him.
The Kings' defensive actions are becoming more and more rough, and Bibby is already anxious!
Bibi didn't know whether he should scold this guy for being shameless or admire him?
If this guy doesn't establish the victory, he really won't waste his time.
After locking in the victory, he originally made 14 of 26 shots. After 40+ in a single game, he took the next 7 shots!
However, in 7 attempts, he only scored 2 goals in 6 successful attempts, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points in 7 attempts.
Regarding Bibby's doubts, if he asked Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu would definitely answer him: You guarded me the way you did before, and I would only mess up when my brain was in trouble! You guard like the Suns, and see if I make a wave.
Maurice Cheeks was not afraid of the opponent doing something, but the opponent's defensive moves were getting bigger and bigger. He was worried that Liu Xiu was angered. It was the end of the regular season, and it would be difficult to get suspended at this time.
However, the more Liu Xiu was aggressive on the offensive end, the more diligent he was on the defensive end. Fred Jones, Outlaw, Varejao, and McDyess also defended very hard. Liu Xiu only got 10 points in 7 attacks.
After 6 points, the Kings only scored 8 points in 8 attacks. The Trail Blazers still led the Kings by 111 to 93 by 18 points, and there were only more than two minutes left.
Seeing that Liu Xiu, who returned to the bench, was not dissatisfied because he did not get 50 points in a single game, Maurice Cheeks breathed a sigh of relief, but then he chuckled and shook his head.
The warden wasn't that optimistic about these things. He made 7 of 12 shots in the first half. When he was heavily guarded in the third quarter, he only took 3 shots...but he really hit hard when he needed to hit!
Seeing Liu Xiu's efficient performance of 14-for-26 shooting, suddenly shooting 16-for-32, Maurice Cheeks could only give a thumbs up, and there were no words to describe his feelings.
In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 46 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in 39 minutes of playing time, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings 115-98, winning their third consecutive victory and improving their record to 54 wins and 19 losses.

…
The Trail Blazers won, Liu Xiu scored 40+ points back to back and was interviewed after the game.
Iverson was stunned in front of the TV.
What a show of face!
Iverson scored 33 points tonight, firmly holding on to his top spot in the scoring list with an average of 32 points per game.
After the game, he heard from the staff that Liu Xiu's side scored 20 points on 7 of 12 shots in the half, so he quickly went to the lounge to watch the live broadcast.
He really scored 20 points on 7 of 12 shots in the half!
Next, Iverson saw Liu Xiu's 4 points in the third quarter. He felt that Liu Xiu could score 78 points in the final quarter and stabilize his average of 31 points per game. He was relieved at the same time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu scored 6 points in a row in the last quarter, and then scored 10 points and 16 points in a single quarter, raising his personal score to 40 points in a single game and his average score to 31.1 points per game.
This is not that important. Iverson admired this young man who scored 60 points on Kobe Bryant's head and made Kobe vomit.
In fact, it doesn't matter how many points Liu Xiu brushes during garbage time. No one has brushed too much. It's only three or four points short of 40 or 50 points. If you can still brush it, then you must brush it. If you don't brush it, you'd be stupid.
of.
But from 40 points to 50 points, Iverson felt outrageous!
It’s really hard to get 20+ in a single quarter!
If the Kings players’ primary goal after entering garbage time was not to prevent Liu Xiu from scoring, this kid might have scored 50+ points in a single game!
If you go too far, with the touch of this guy, it is not impossible to score 30 points in a single quarter!
Iverson was about to turn off the TV to calm down when he heard a reporter asking Liu Xiu about 40+ points in a single game. He stopped pressing the remote control and listened. It turned out that Liu Xiu had 40+ points in a single game this season after back-to-back games.
The number of times has reached 13 times, surpassing McGrady's 12 times of 40+ in a single game in the 2002-03 season, and the number of 40+ times in a single season has reached the third place in active service.
Iverson saw the TV screen showing the ranking of active players with 40+ times in a single season. When he saw the number one spot, he let out a cry and thought to himself: I have the MVP!
In the 2002-03 season, Kobe scored 40+ points in a single game 19 times, ranking first among current players.
The second is Iverson, who scored 40+ points in a single game 17 times in the 2000-01 season.
Third place is now Liu Xiu, currently 13 times.
Fourth is Tracy McGrady who scored 40+ points in a single game 12 times in the 2002-03 season.
Fifth, O'Neal scored 40+ points in a single game 10 times in the 1999-00 season.
No one else currently in service can do this.
Iverson has averaged 32 points per game so far this season, a career high, but he has had 40+ points in a single game. Yesterday he scored 48 points against the Bobcats, which was the ninth 40+ points in a single game this season. He has never had 40+ points in a single game.
He has been in the top three in the league every year since his rookie season, but he is closer to what Jordan calls the "ideal state of scoring champion", and his offensive performance is more stable than explosive.
Iverson looked at the screen and had a terrible guess.
With 54 wins and 19 losses, the Trail Blazers still have 9 games to play.
Liu Xiu has currently scored 40 points or more in a single game 13 times. Does this guy want to be ranked No. 1 in active service?
Don't tell me! Iverson thinks this kid can really do it if he has the conditions and the chance!
No! His lead is completely unstable!

Back to back 40+ nights were very busy. Liu Xiu worked until early in the morning before returning home and lying down to fall asleep.
Entering simulation training mode, entering a calm and clear-thinking state, he reviewed the game against the Kings.
Periodic bursts are more effective than copying a super-powerful talent!
There is no need for any adaptation at all, and there is no need to adjust the playing style. You can directly perform better. In the eyes of others, you are just in good condition.
After the last few games, Liu Xiu felt that by the end of March and early April, the difference between the first-class teams (starting level with 50 wins) and the ordinary teams was already obvious. The top teams had already passed the adjustment period.
Entering the playoff practice mode, the performance has stabilized, which is the case for the SuperSonics and Kings.
The Sonics are inherently restrained. If they meet in the playoffs, Liu Xiu is confident that the opponent will not be able to win a single victory.
Kings, the Kings' pre-game preparations for this game were actually in place, but his explosive state overwhelmed the defense.
In the regular season, we tied with the Kings at 2-2, so there is no disadvantage in the encounter. If we meet in the playoffs, there will be no psychological disadvantage in this aspect.
Increase your advantages, reduce your disadvantages, and prepare for the playoffs. This is the process. It’s not about practicing a few tactics when it’s time to play. Liu Xiu knows more about this than the young players who entered the NBA at the same time.

…
After a good night's sleep, Liu Xiu woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning and a new day began.
Anne Hathaway got up earlier and was already practicing yoga on the floor. Unfortunately for Liu Xiu, she was wearing clothes this time.
Liu Xiu looked at the calendar on his bedside. April 4th was the offseason in the NBA. The NCAA Basketball Championship will begin the final championship battle. The North Carolina Wolfpack and the Illinois Warriors will compete in the Super Dome in St. Louis.
Have a decisive battle.
Liu Xiu remembered the atmosphere when they played in the finals two years ago.
"I don't know what it's like to be in the NBA Finals..."
Liu Xiu muttered that he probably wouldn't have time to watch the NCAA finals today because the note on the calendar was 'Jaylen and Anna's birthday'.
The two cubs are one year old!
After a while, during breakfast time, Anne Hathaway read the news that Liu Xiu was still connected with the NCAA. He was the core of the championship team the year before last.
He and Anthony are the core of the NCAA championship team that are rare in recent years and can become top players in the NBA.
The last player to enter the NBA and reach the top ranks after winning an NCAA championship was Grant Hill.
The core of the NCAA championship team after Hill, except for Liu Xiu and Anthony, are mostly mediocre. Even the famous ones like Sean Battier, who was known as the next Grant Hill in college, and now the rookie contract is about to end, and the next contract
Just middle class.
This year's No. 2 overall pick, Emeka Okafor, performed unsatisfactorily. I can only say that he was not bad at all. Between him and his template, Tim Duncan, there was not only Malone, but at least Barkley.
Regarding this, Liu Xiu has learned about this in his spare time. The core reason is that NBA salaries have skyrocketed in the past decade or so. Many college students enter the NBA early after only one to two years of study. The talents of these people are definitely the top ones.
Summary, college basketball also needs to be adjusted. As soon as the freshman and sophomore years are completed, the top talents leave and they have to start building the team again. At this time, the talent is relatively weak and the team is led by players who are not confident in participating in the draft in advance.
, but it is easier to get to the end.
There are also high school students entering the NBA directly, which is like draining money from the bottom of the cauldron for the NCAA!
The NCAA has been negotiating with the NBA for several years. David Stern finally relented at the beginning of this year and announced that after the 2005 draft, the last draft under the old version of the labor agreement, high school students will no longer be allowed to directly participate in the NBA draft.
.
In addition to this, Liu Xiu's performance last night also occupied a large space in the newspaper. "Warden's March Madness" has almost become a basketball term. As long as the highlight performance in March continues for a few more years...
He is really confident about this!
…
There was no party for the two cubs' first birthday, and they didn't invite any friends or colleagues. They just celebrated it with their families.
Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway have discussed it. Treating guests or throwing a party. What can the two cubs who are only 1 year old know? Take a photo and remember it when they grow up? Let alone the child's memory, neither of them will probably see it by then.
These photos.
If you really invite a bunch of people over, it's not a birthday celebration, but an excuse to socialize with others.
Things like interpersonal communication are very important, but both Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway feel that their birthdays are not used for interpersonal communication. If it is a child's birthday, then it really has to be the child's birthday.
But even though there was no treat, Liu Xiu still had teammates and colleagues come to deliver gifts, and some friends called to say hello, including the tsundere No. 13 pick from the West Coast.
When your son or daughter celebrates their birthday, there must be parent-child activities!
Liu Xiu originally wanted to take the two children for a ride in the excavator, but the prospective mother-in-law who came from afar and the biological parents on the other end of the phone forcibly killed his idea. The prospective father-in-law's eyes lit up, but the prospective father-in-law's opinion
It didn’t seem to work, and Liu Xiu could only regretfully take the two kids to watch the NCAA finals...
