  Chapter 926 Chapter 926. Zhan Chao Cannon (Happy Chinese New Year)

  Liu Xiu learned the enjoyment mentality of Guigui when he averaged a triple-double for the first time.

  He obviously felt that he was going to float away, and for the first time he had the illusion that the whole world is a good person...

  But the famous variety artist Huang Bo said that when you become a wrist, the whole world is a good person, but you should know that you are not that good... The main reason is that he can see his 94 comprehensive ability evaluation and know that he is not invincible.

  He kept in mind that he played this way to reduce the pressure on his teammates and divert the fans' attention from their record.

  When he was in college, he saw the pressure of public opinion faced by the Lakers after only achieving a record of 50 wins and 32 losses in the 2002-03 season.

  This is the legitimate reason to enter the sewer!

   Yes, for a valid reason!

   And he has to play like this, so that the team can have a more stable record.

   Rested in Salt Lake City for one night. On December 11, the game day for the Trail Blazers to challenge the Jazz came.

  In the morning, the league announced the latest weekly awards.

  Liu Xiu averaged 34.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 13 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block in the past 3 games. He won all 3 games, 3 consecutive triple-doubles, and won the Western Conference Player of the Week award.

  The best of the week in the Eastern Conference was won by Josh Smith of the Eagles. In the past 4 games, he has 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 22 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2 steals and 3.5 blocks per game.

  Liu Xiu saw comments on the Internet, saying that Josh Smith is a version of James with reduced scoring and assists and enhanced defense.

   Now, Liu Xiu thinks so.

   But Liu Xiu watched two live broadcasts of the Cavaliers' games this season, and James' defense has really improved visible to the naked eye!

In the playoffs against the Pistons last year, James defended against Billups and was blown up, defended against Carter and was blown up, and finally Mike Brown asked James to defend against Prince's corner three-pointer, or to defend against Ben Hua Lace air cut...

  Liu Xiu felt that this might have hurt James' self-esteem, so he started to play defense hard.

  …

   At 7:40 p.m., the Trail Blazers entered the stadium first at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City.

  Salt Lake City, the home of the NBA's three devils, compared with Chicago, Liu Xiu felt that the atmosphere was still very different.

   To put it simply, the Bulls have self-confidence and pride, as well as impatience, eager to immediately regain the glory of the end of the last century.

  The Jazz team is like the rising sun, full of vigor and hope.

   When the home team, the Jazz, entered the arena, one could clearly feel the encouragement and tolerance from the wild cheers of the fans.

   "Utah Jazz, 16 wins and 5 losses, averaging 105.9 points per game, conceding 99 points per game, shooting 49.7% from the field, restricting opponents from shooting 47.1%... averaged 26.4 assists per game..."

   So far, each team has played about 20 games.

  In the West, the Spurs ranked first with 17 wins and 4 losses, the Jazz ranked second with 16 wins and 5 losses, the Lakers ranked third with 15 wins and 5 losses, and the Nuggets ranked fourth with 15 wins and 6 losses.

   Relying on the recent wave of 4 consecutive victories, the Trail Blazers surpassed the Mavericks with 13 wins and 8 losses with 13 wins and 7 losses, temporarily ranking fifth in the West.

  "Chris Paul...ability rating of 94...Average of 22 points, 4.5 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game...Shooting 47.8% from the field and 35.6% from the three-point range..."

  Liu Xiu looked at Xiaopao's player detection report and couldn't help but be speechless.

   Ranked first in assists, 0.2 per game higher than his warden, 0.5 higher than Nash, second in steals, 0.1 lower than his warden.

  Due to injuries and other problems last season, Paul did not perform as well as Deron.

  This year, Deron has gone one step further. He has played 20 games so far this season, averaging 17.5 points and 10 assists per game. As a result, Paul made a leap forward and became an MVP candidate!

  In addition to Paul, the Jazz has another player that Liu Xiu is interested in—Jason Kapono.

  Sent Ruben Patterson, Gordon Kiliesek, 1 first-round pick, 1 second-round pick, the Jazz traded from the Heat to this three-pointer.

   Liu Xiu felt very comfortable with the team’s price hike.

   But what impressed him the most about this three-pointer was their duel in the three-point contest...

   Liu Xiu was astonished at Paul's performance, while Paul was cursing.

   Averaged 29.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals, 0.63 blocks per game, 51.1% field goal percentage, 38.9% three-point field goal percentage, 91% free throw percentage.

  The key is that as the season progresses, the three-point shooting percentage and field goal percentage are slowly increasing!

  When Paul studied Liu Xiu's game, he found that Liu Xiu had improved from relying on scoring ability to drive assists at the beginning of the season to being able to use passing to improve shooting efficiency.

   This is related to the adjustment of the Trail Blazers' overall tactics, but it is mainly personal ability!

  …

  Two teams with Devil’s home courts played against each other. In the same division, the head star of one side was bullied by the head star of the opposite side for two years. There was nothing to chat about before the game.

  The pre-match preparation time was over. When Liu Xiu came on the court, he chose the target to be copied. Teammate Ray Allen, who is full of talent for 'Quick Shot'.

   Opponent, Liu Xiu no longer copied Paul, the powerful talent of 'Breakout' is gone, and the talent of 'Firework' is full of blood, but it is not suitable for him.

  The object of his copy this time is Kirilenko.

"... Opponent: Andrei Kirilenko, characteristic conversion talent: Spiderman (residual blood), bonus effect: speed +1 within 3 seconds when switching defenses, has adaptability when defending players in various positions promote."

   I was lucky, 25% of the matching rate was randomized to a useful feature.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Jazz started.

   Jazz starting: Paul, Ronnie - Brewer, Kirilenko, Boozer, Chandler.

   Trail Blazers starters: Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

   Chandler defeated Kwame Brown to win the jump ball, and the Jazz started the offensive battle!

   In the regular season of the new season, they played against the Jazz for the first time, and the opponent took the initiative to set off an offensive battle, which did not exceed the expectations of the Trail Blazers.

  In the last game of the preseason, the Trail Blazers felt the helplessness of the Jazz-Chandler's frame protection was not as good as Okur.

The potential must be that Chandler is higher, but the progress is too slow, and there is no improvement compared to last season. To be precise, from the beginning of the 2004-05 season to the present, Chandler's style of play, performance, and efficiency have not changed much. , otherwise the Bulls will not be disappointed to sell it.

   But in terms of offensive coordination, Chandler is indeed more suitable for Paul and Boozer.

Both Boozer and Okur are slow insiders, and they are both mid-range and long-range shooting-based scoring methods. They have no impact, unlike Garnett and Okur. accommodate each other.

  Okur has become Boozer. Boozer no longer needs to give up his habitual shooting area, and he doesn't have to forcefully hit the basket. As the season progresses, the two and Paul's pick-and-roll offense become more and more tacit!

  …
