After scoring the goal, Pierce glanced at Liu Xiu, raised his chin and turned around to retreat.

Every time he played against Liu Xiu, Pierce was particularly energetic and motivated, so he had a pretty good relationship with Hinrich of the Bulls in private.

The two players are considered the most hostile to Liu Xiu in the Eastern Conference, and they are even more hostile than Jason Kidd, Tracy McGrady and others who lost to Liu Xiu in the finals.

But Liu Xiu ignored Pierce and only had the goal of winning. The two starting teammates on the front line took turns. He was extra cautious. After entering the frontcourt, he screened and rolled with Kwame Brown, creating a sideline three-point opportunity for Stevenson.

Stevenson started to be very reliable, catching the ball and hitting a three-pointer, and returned one to Pierce.

The playing styles of the two teams are completely different. The Celtics are a common underdog team that plays sudden points + singles without any coordination. Otherwise, it is Delonte West's sudden points, Pierce or Szczerbiak from the outside.

In response, LaFrentz or Perkins takes the cake; otherwise, Pierce or Szczerbiak plays in singles.

For the Trail Blazers, Aaron Williams was replaced by Raheem after playing two minutes. He knew that he was just a pseudo starter to maintain the rotation. When he was on the court, he maintained the threat of eating the cake on the offensive end, rushed for grabs, and was active on the defensive end.

Do what you should do as a hardworking power forward.

After Rahim came on the court, the Trail Blazers launched a regular team attack.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics relied on substitute power forward Brian Scalabrine to catch the ball and hit a mid-range shot. The score in the single quarter increased to 30 points. They led the Trail Blazers by 5 points 30 to 25 and entered the intersection break.

!

Pierce made 3 of 7 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter. His performance was very good; Szczerbiak made 3 of 6 shots and scored 8

points, the two led the team to overpower the Trail Blazers in the first quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, Raheem scored the highest in the first quarter with 9 points in a single quarter, Liu Xiu scored 4 points and 3 assists, and Ray Allen scored a three-pointer. A total of 8 players played, and everyone scored.

, but not much.

Although the scoring in the first quarter was not as fierce as the Celtics, the offense was not particularly good, and the defense was also quite poor, the points were evenly distributed and the team played well.

The Celtics' overall defense was better than last season when major scorers targeted them for points. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' scoring increased a bit, scoring 27 points in a single quarter, while Pierce and Szreby

Yak attacked too hard in the first quarter and performed average in the second quarter. Both of them only scored 5 points in the second quarter, and the Celtics only scored 22 points.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers tied the score 52-52!

The team finally managed to get a 5-point lead in the first quarter, but the opponent easily regained it in the second quarter. Liu Xiu played 17 minutes in the half. He scored 4 points and 3 assists on 2 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and 3 of 4 shots in the second quarter.

8 points and 2 assists, and easily scored 12 points and 5 assists in the half to lead the team to tie the score... Pierce was very angry, unhappy and angry!

In the third quarter, Pierce broke out! He made 7 of 10 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points. The Celtics bucked the trend and reversed the score in the second quarter.

His performance plummeted, scoring 29 points in a single quarter.

Liu Xiu made 2 of 5 shots in the third quarter, plus 3 of 4 free throws to score 7 points and 4 assists. Ray Allen made 3 of 6 shots and scored a three-pointer to score 7 points. The two scored together.

14 points. In addition, Kwame Brown, Stevenson, and Raheem each scored 4 points. Together with 3 points and 3 assists from Flying Squirrel, the Trail Blazers also scored 29 points in the third quarter!

After a crazy quarter, Pierce found in despair that he had scored 20 points in a single quarter and still failed to take the lead. The score was tied at 81 to 81!

Pierce couldn't attack anymore and shot 0-for-3 from the field in the final quarter.

And Liu Xiucai has just begun!

In the first half of the final quarter, Liu Xiu made 1 of 3 shots, plus 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, leading the Trail Blazers to a 19-2 half-quarter climax, making the score 100-83.

Defeat the Celtics directly!

Both teams replaced their main players. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Celtics gave the Trail Blazers a 22-13 half-quarter climax, but it was of no use.

In the end, with Liu Xiu's 26 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals, Ray Allen's 20 points, and Raheem's 28 points, the Trail Blazers defeated the Celtics 113-105, raising their record to 42.

Win 8 and lose!

The strength of Warden and the stability of the three-point champion are the source of confidence for Maurice Cheeks to dare to rest Randolph. However, in his opinion, it was Raheem who led the team to win tonight.

Inside the Celtics, Perkins is tough and has potential, but this high school student is still too young; LaFrentz was ruined by injuries and is no longer the 'hope of the white center' back then; another high school student

Al Jefferson is too slow.

Beating these three people, Rahim was like chopping melons and vegetables.

…

On February 10, the second day of back-to-back days, at 8 a.m., Liu Xiu went to the restaurant to get some food and came to the window to enjoy breakfast.

At this time, all the teammates who had just finished playing back-to-back games were sleeping in. The lake view villa hotel contracted by the vice president was quiet and peaceful...

"Oh, oh, warden, you are here for breakfast on time..."

Liu Xiu watched with dead fish eyes as Randolph put the dinner plate on the dining table with a loud "bang".

Randolph asked while eating: "I'm still curious about why you get up on time to have breakfast every day? Are you afraid of being hungry?"

Liu Xiu responded: "Aren't you so early today? Why, are you ready to work hard to get better? No, last night the coach said that you should continue to rest in the next game against the Bobcats."

Randolph shook his head: "I didn't get up that early. I went to the nightclub with Pierce last night and just came back."

"Spent the night in a nightclub?"

"Pierce found three female college students to play with last night, and let those of us who went to the nightclub together watch. God, this city inhabited by white people has much more unrestrained fun than ours..."

"Uh..." Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment, skipped the topic, and asked, "Are you familiar with Pierce?"

Randolph thought for a while: "Fortunately, I met him when I was in high school. He was already an NBA player at that time. He came to watch one of my games and gave me a new set of clothes after the game."

"Why? You played well?"

"Of course I played well, I'm also a talented high school student!"

"Yes, those of you who can enter the NBA must be famous talented junior high school students and high school students."

"Aren't you the same?"

Liu Xiu shook his head: "No, I have played basketball before, but I joined the school team for the first time in my junior year. I don't have as much experience in campus basketball as you. I learned basketball for a year and then directly played in the NBA."
