The Trail Blazers have a lost butcher, and this time the All-Star substitute list is quite controversial.

Eastern Conference substitutes: Pistons' Billups, Raptors' Bosh and Milicic, Magic's Howard, Nets' Tracy McGrady, Hawks' Joe Johnson, Pacers' Ron Artest and other 7 people

Selected.

Western Conference substitutes: Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Steve Nash and James of the Suns, Ray Allen of the Trail Blazers, Parker of the Spurs, Allen Iverson of the Nuggets, and Deron Deron of the Lakers.

The ‘alternation between old and new’ is very obvious.

Howard was selected, O'Neal was not.

The twin towers of Tianzun and O'Neal were not selected, but the twin towers of Bosh and Milicic were selected.

Carter and Kidd were both undrafted, and Joe Johnson was selected.

However, when Liu Xiu saw this list, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. This was an all-star substitute lineup selected by the coaches of each team based on the actual performance of the players this season.

The competition in the East is indeed fierce. Compared with the Raptors twin towers and the Pacers twin towers, it is difficult to say who is stronger. Their characteristics are completely different.

However, the teammate configuration of the Raptors twin towers is obviously better than that of the Pacers twin towers, and the record can also well illustrate the overall performance gap.

Joe Johnson's overall performance is indeed better than Kidd and Carter.

As for O'Neal's loss... Liu Xiu feels...

Times have really changed!

…

At 6 o'clock in the evening, at Amway Arena in Orlando, after an afternoon of rest, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Magic started.

After 2 hours and 27 minutes of play, the Trail Blazers lost 91-103.

Liu Xiu made 20 of 41 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 47 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. However, other than him, the highest scorer among his teammates was only 12 points... The 4-game winning streak was defeated.

At the end, the record dropped to 39 wins and 12 losses.

Although he lost, Liu Xiu made headlines again - tying Iverson's second active record of 40+ points in 7 consecutive games!

Among active players, only Kobe Bryant had 9 consecutive 40+ games in the 2002-03 season and last season in 2005-06, which is higher than Liu Xiu and Iverson's 7 consecutive 40+ games!

At the same time, this is Liu Xiu’s 20th time with 40+ points in a single game this season, which is only one game away from his personal record of 21 times with 40+ points in a single game set in the 2004-05 season!

Ranking first is still Kobe Bryant, who scored 40+ points 30 times in a single season last season.

However, this season Liu Xiu has a greater lead. So far, Kobe has played 40+ times 16 times. In the past period, Liu Xiu beat Kobe 4 to 1.

The next day, February 8, the league announced the Player of the Week award for the previous week.

East: Arenas of the Wizards, 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 33 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

West: Liu Xiu of the Trail Blazers, 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 47.5 points, 10 rebounds, 3.75 assists, 2.75 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.

Liu Xiu won the 5th Player of the Week award without any suspense!

With the Player of the Week trophy in hand, the Trail Blazers came to Washington, D.C. to visit the White House in the afternoon.

It's a familiar thing, Liu Xiu, a familiar person, had a very lively chat with the commander-in-chief in front of the camera, ranging from poetry and poetry to the philosophy of life...

The next day, with the momentum of visiting the White House, the Trail Blazers came to the Wachovia Center to challenge the Wizards away from home.

The Wizards have been playing really well lately.

Although he was beaten by Kobe and Carter with 40+ triple-doubles in a row, Arenas' performance was no worse than that of Kobe and Carter!

In those two games, although everyone on the Wizards team was in pain, their morale actually improved.

But for some reason, Arenas, who had performed very well in the past period, shrank when he met Liu Xiu tonight... he was defended and made 3 of 15 shots in the game, only getting 11 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists!

On Liu Xiu's side, his passing was heavily guarded. He could shoot, score, and grab rebounds, but his passing route was always blocked.

Wizards players don’t want to get 40+ triple-doubles anymore…

As a result, Liu Xiu made 21 of 30 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 53 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in a single game, leading the Trail Blazers to slaughter the Wizards 96-73.

!

The Trail Blazers won their 40th win of the season, improving their record to 40 wins and 12 losses.

Liu Xiu scored 40+ points for the 8th consecutive game, and the number of 40+ points in a single game this season increased to 21 times, which was a beautiful ending to this consecutive away game!

…

After five consecutive away games, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest.

Liu Xiu was still busy. When he got up in the morning, he accepted two more interviews in the American imperial capital.

Fortunately, he woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning feeling refreshed and not too upset to wake up.

By noon, the league announced the list of participants for this year's All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge, three events, the retained Shooting Star Challenge and other events.

In terms of the Rookie Challenge, first graders: Bargnani of the SuperSonics, Jordan Farmar of the Lakers, Millsap of the Trail Blazers, Gay of the Warriors, Adam Morrison of the Bobcats, Basketball

Marcus Williams of the Nets, Yog Garbajosa of the Raptors, Roy of the Timberwolves, Aldridge of the Hornets.

Second-year team: Bogut of the Hornets, Bynum and Granger of the Rockets, Ellis of the Warriors, Felton of the Raptors, Deron of the Lakers, Paul of the Jazz, Knicks

David Lee and Channing Frye.

After the roster for the Rookie Challenge was released, the Internet was madly complaining that the strength gap was too big. It would be better to hold an East-West competition at the same level. At least the strength was equal, and it was a competition between the strongest players who had just come out of the NCAA. It was not enjoyable to watch.

It will be different.

In the Shooting Star Challenge, 4 teams including the Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, and Trail Blazers competed against each other.

It is said that the Raptors were very interested in this competition, but the registration time was too late. When they registered, all four participating teams had already been selected.

Three events, skills challenge, 6 people including Kobe, Wade, Paul, Deron, James, Liu Xiu participated.

Three-point contest, 8 people including Arenas, Damon Jones, Nowitzki, Jason Kapono, Mike Miller, Terry, Ray Allen, Liu Xiu participated.

Slam dunk contest, 4 people including Gerald Green, Nate Robinson, Dwight Howard, Liu Xiu participated.

The lineup for this year’s comprehensive event day is star-studded!

Even the Shooting Star Challenge is full of superstars. When interviewed, Kobe, Duncan and Yao Ming confirmed that they would play in this game.

There are many things to watch in the skills challenge. In the three-point contest, except for Peja who refused to participate, most of the powerful three-point shooters participated.

Although the dunk contest is not as luxurious as the lineup of Carter, McGrady, Francis and others back then, Nate Robinson and Gerald Green are both dunkers who have been in the limelight in the past two years. Actual dunks may not lead to much, but the performance

The dunk is awesome.

But this is not what people are most excited about after the list is announced.

What excites people the most is that Warden will compete in all events in the eventing competition!
Chapter completed!
