The Trail Blazers were prepared for the Jazz's offensive firepower, but they were still overwhelmed by the opponent in the first quarter.

Paul had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Boozer had 8 points, Chandler had 6 points, and Szczerbiak, who came off the bench, had 5 points... The Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 3 points, 29-26, in the first quarter!

The Jazz played well offensively, and although their defense was not as good as last season, it was passable.

It has something to do with mentality. The Jazz regard the Trail Blazers as an opponent they "must overcome" and are obsessed with it.

But in the eyes of Liu Xiu and others, the Jazz are just an ordinary opponent.

As far as Liu Xiu is concerned, he doesn't think Paul can reach the Western Conference Finals with this group of people.

You have to give him a super scorer point guard. If you throw him to the Lakers and partner with that one...

Now he only values ​​Paul, but not as much as Paul and the Jazz.

Relying on well-prepared defense, the Jazz defended quite well in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers began to gain the upper hand!

Ray Allen, who has been in great form recently, came on the court at 3 minutes and 22 seconds. In less than 9 minutes, he made 4 of 4 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

!

Liu Xiu had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to a score of 29 to 27 in the single quarter, chasing the point difference to only 1 point!

But Paul is really not a vegetarian!

Seeing that the situation was about to be reversed by Liu Xiu and Ray Allen, after returning from the halftime break, Paul scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists in the third quarter, helping Boozer score 11 points. Matt Ha

Pulin scored 5 points, Kapono scored two three-pointers, and Kirilenko scored a 2+1...

The Jazz scored 30 points in a single quarter!

The Trail Blazers also performed very well in the third quarter. Liu Xiu had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to 27 points in a single quarter, but it was not as good as the Jazz.

After three quarters, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 4 points 86 to 82!

But in the crucial fourth quarter, the Jazz collectively fell apart.

A common problem of teams led by ‘nanny players’!

Paul, who scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists in the first three quarters, only made 1 of 4 shots in the final quarter and only scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Affected by this, the Jazz only scored 23 points in the final quarter.

On the other side, Liu Xiu made 2 of 4 shots in the final quarter, plus 5 of 6 free throws, with 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter.

Helped Ray Allen score 9 points, Kwame Brown 7 points, Korver 3 points, Outlaw 5 points, Randolph 2 points.

The Trail Blazers scored 35 points in the final quarter, beating the Jazz by 12 points in a single quarter!

Liu Xiu played 44 minutes and scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to reverse the Jazz 117-109!

…

4 consecutive triple-doubles, 5 consecutive wins!

Originally, people were only talking about Liu Xiu's statistics, and his performance was covered up.

But the Trail Blazers' 5-game winning streak gave people a completely different feeling!

Last month, there was always a saying that 'the prison team lost, but the warden did not lose'. Now, the warden has won, and the Blazers have won too!

On the next day, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland and rested for an afternoon. At 8 p.m., they faced back-to-back games with the Jazz, alternating between home and away.

In the first quarter, the two teams tied 28-28. In the second quarter, the Jazz led the Trail Blazers by 1 point, 26-25.

Based on last night's game, the two teams have a clearer understanding of each other's current strength, playing style, and status. Both offense and defense have a clearer understanding of the other side's playing style, and they play equally well.

But in the third quarter, after the Trail Blazers launched a star-to-star battle, the performance of the trio of Paul, Kirilenko, and Boozer was far inferior to that of the trio of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, and Randolph.

The latter's attack ability is much stronger than the former!

27 to 20 in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Jazz by 6 points 80 to 74!

The Jazz's performance improved in the final quarter. Boozer scored 15 points in a single quarter and led the Jazz to 27 points in a single quarter.

But for the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu scored 9 points in a single quarter. The Outlaws, who came on the bench, continuously cut to close range to catch the ball and hit high-leaping floaters to score 11 points. The two worked together to lead the team in a single quarter.

Got 29 points!

Paul performed very well tonight, scoring 21 points on 7-of-19 shooting, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and a block, helping Boozer score 35 points. However, Paul's key shot percentage is not low, but he also has a tendency to be 'selfless at critical moments'

, I really didn’t make many shots at critical moments...

But Liu Xiu scored 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, Ray Allen 20 points, Randolph 14 points, Outlaw 21 points... 4 players of the Trail Blazers scored in double figures, beating the Jazz again 109-101.

!

…

Liu Xiu had 5 consecutive triple-doubles, and the Trail Blazers won 6 consecutive games, improving their record to 15 wins and 7 losses!

It’s almost the middle of the season, and the Trail Blazers are once again a phenomenally popular team!

The most alarming one is James, who leads the scoring list with an average of 30.8 points per game.

It's okay not to be on top of the scoring list, even if he is knocked off after a day or two, in that case, he will still be happy to be on top of the scoring list.

But now that I have been here for a quarter of a season, someone is suddenly catching up with me. How can I bear this?

The top spots in the Eastern and Western Conferences are also a bit panicked!

Is the warden coming again?

They were relieved after watching the Trail Blazers live broadcast.

The Trail Blazers only perform well at critical moments. Liu Xiu and Ray Allen are both god-level key players.

During regular time, the Trail Blazers were just like that. The Jazz's overall performance during regular time was obviously better than that of the Trail Blazers.

Moreover, Ray Allen and the Outlaws have been in excellent form recently. When Hill mentioned the starting lineup, Ray Allen benefited the most. With Hill's support from the high post, Ray Allen has more opportunities to catch the ball on the wing and is more capable of catching the ball.

Well, the Outlaws go to the bench and have a clear advantage against the substitute striker, but the opponents are not prepared enough...

The Trail Blazers had a day of rest after back-to-back games. On December 14, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Warriors at home.

After 2 hours and 25 minutes of competition, at 10:25 pm, the two teams decided the winner.

Liu Xiu made 9 of 17 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 10 of 10 free throws. He scored 31 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, beating Balang Dai who scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists.

Weiss!

105 to 95, the Trail Blazers defeated the Warriors at home!

…

The Bulls and Spurs didn't particularly care about the Trail Blazers' performance.

In their opinion, the Trail Blazers have been winning consecutively just because they are in good shape, have changed their playing style, their opponents are not used to it, and have the ability to make key shots.

There was no problem with their analysis. When the Trail Blazers held a team meeting, the coaching staff also said the same thing.

But fans won't analyze this, most fans only look at the results.

The result they saw was that the Trail Blazers had won 7 consecutive games! Tying the Bulls' longest winning streak of the season with 7 consecutive wins!

What’s even more eye-catching is that Liu Xiu got a triple-double in 6 consecutive games!

On the list of consecutive triple-doubles, Liu Xiu ranks third in history!
