  Chapter 989 Chapter 989. Lock in an average triple-double in advance!

   After the Spurs were less than 70 wins and locked in the first place in the regular season, they began to rest.

   The Trail Blazers saw the hope of reaching 60 wins, and began to play hard.

The coaching staff does not have this requirement. They should rest. During the rotation, except for Liu Xiu, a physical monster, everyone else can rotate as they like. The average playing time of the Trail Blazers is even more outrageous than that of the Spurs. Ray Allen played only 30 minutes.

   But Liu Xiu and his teammates saw the hope of 60 wins, and they were unwilling to give up whatever they said. They even became active in defense, although the effect was not good.

  The challenge from the Southwest Division continues, and the fourth opponent is coming.

   On the night of April 12th, the Trail Blazers lost to the Rockets 106 to 115 after 2 hours and 29 minutes of play.

  Hamilton scored 30 points, Granger scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Bynum scored 20 points, 14 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. The trio scored 81 points together, showing a ferocious performance.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 43 shots, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals, Ray Allen had 19 points and 4 rebounds, Randolph had 14 points and 9 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 6 points and 15 rebounds...the performance was not bad, but the see-saw During the battle, there were two offensive interruptions, which were seized by Hamilton and Granger.

  Bynum's 7 offensive rebounds in a single game tonight are very ferocious, forcing the Trail Blazers insiders to get stuck and then have to protect the rebounds themselves. The number of counterattacks of the Trail Blazers has really decreased because of this.

   After losing, the Trail Blazers coaching staff was relieved and regretful at the same time.

   I really didn't expect that this season would have a chance to hit 60 wins, but in the end, I still couldn't drive low and go high to get 60 wins like last season.

   But in this way, there is no need to worry about any accidents when the players fight too hard at the end of the regular season.

  …

   On the 13th, the Trail Blazers had a day off.

  The challenge from the Southwest Division still has 1 game not played. Tomorrow they will face the Hornets with the top three.

   After breakfast, Liu Xiu checked the news for a while.

   This trend of public opinion has changed really fast, and now the latest topic-can the Hornets, Lakers, and Suns average a triple-double against the Warden?

  He got a total of 808 rebounds this season. Either he won't play in the remaining 3 games, or he has to get a total of 12 rebounds in the remaining 3 games.

  Theoretically speaking, it is really possible to capsize in the end.

   There is also the final competition for the assist king.

  For Nash, after becoming teammates with O'Neal, his average assists per game dropped to 10.6, and he fell out of the competition for the assist king, unless he averaged 27 assists per game in the last 3 games to overtake Liu Xiu.

   Deron steadily averaged over 10 assists per game, and he won't be able to rise again.

  Currently, Liu Xiu ranks first with 11.24 assists per game, and Paul ranks second with 11.0625 assists per game. Paul has the opportunity and ability to regain the top assists list in the last 3 games.

   Steals list, Liu Xiu averaged 3 steals per game, Paul averaged 2.7 steals per game, Liu Xiu secured the top spot.

   In the block list, Camby averaged 3.6 blocks per game, beating Milicic, who averaged 3.3 blocks per game, and secured the top spot.

   In the rebounding list, Howard averaged 14.2 rebounds per game, beating Camby, who averaged 13.3 rebounds per game, and secured the top spot.

  Scoring list, Liu Xiu doesn't know since when, he hasn't seen any topics related to this list.

As the coach said in the chat, James’ scoring average began to decline after three consecutive 40+ points. Lost 0.1 points, 0.2 points, dropped to now, has dropped to 30.8 points per game.

  Liu Xiu, who averaged 33.4 points per game, is far ahead. Even if he has 0 points in the next 3 games, it will not affect his victory in scoring.

   The hope of 60 wins has been shattered, and now his goal is to defend the assists leader, average a triple-double, and win the 42nd triple-double!

   After checking the news for a while, he searched for the current situation of the Hornets.

  A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, don't be careless.

  Lost yesterday because of the fierce performance of Varejao and Bynum. Bynum's performance of 20 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks was too outstanding.

  The Hornets with the top three may also be quite troublesome.

   While watching the Hornets news, he came up with an idea—if the Timberwolves choose Horford, Roy might be able to make the playoffs this season.

  Then the Hornets won't sell off David West, and the Lakers won't be able to rebuild right away...

   So, blame the Hornets for everything!

  Thinking about it this way, wouldn’t the motivation be full?

  …

   On the 14th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Hornets at home.

Horford and Aldridge, a pair of talented twin towers, after the Hornets traded away David West and gave up training Bogut, the two showed the same talent as the original Raptors Twin Towers .

   Horford averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game in March, and Aldridge averaged 18.1 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.1 blocks after the All-Star weekend.

   Magloire, who returned to his old club, also performed well. As the first substitute inside, he played 20 games after the All-Star weekend, averaging 6.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

  Bogut was put on the shelf by the Hornets, trying to sell it in the offseason.

   There is a precedent for Kwame Brown's rise in the last year of his rookie contract. At least Bogut, who looks good physically and has good defensive talent, still has a good trade value.

  And when Bogut was valued by the Hornets before the All-Star Weekend this season, his statistics were actually not bad, averaging 5.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.17 blocks in 24 minutes per game.

   But he only played 30 of the first 52 games of the All-Star break.

  The most important thing is his off-site troubles, heavy debts, taking private jobs everywhere...Recently, the DVDs of the movies he shot for adults have been released, and the sales are amazing.

   It is rumored that Stern is preparing to sue the distributor for violating competition regulations, and used words such as "NBA's No. 1 pick" and "Fallen NBA's strongest talent" when the film was released.

   But it is estimated that the lawsuit will not win, the NBA player is indeed Bogut's identity...

   And this incident also made some players at the bottom of the league eager to move.

  They really didn't expect this operation.

   At 8:00 p.m., the game begins.

   As expected by the Trail Blazers, the Hornets wanted to snipe Liu Xiu's triple-double.

  But tonight, the Trail Blazers were fully prepared to defend against rushing. Maurice Cheeks adjusted directly from the tactical level, asking Liu Xiu to give up the flank defense, and directly shrink the rebound if possible.

There are only 12 rebounds left. If all goes well, we will be able to secure a triple-double tonight. You don’t have to think about it in the next two games. If you don’t drag it on, you won’t get the reputation of "averaging a triple-double" ...that's what Morris-Cheeks thought.

   This is the first time for Liu Xiu to play without regard for defense, but has he never eaten pork or seen a pig run?

   Just follow the play style of the strange man in my impression.

   It went well. Liu Xiu scored the 12th rebound of the game at 3 minutes and 11 seconds into the fourth quarter.

  The Rose Garden Arena is boiling!

  They saw with their own eyes that Liu Xiu averaged a triple-double this season!

In the end, Liu Xiu made 13 of 24 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 36 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, leading the Trail Blazers to a 121-106 victory over the Hornets. The record has improved to 57 wins and 23 losses!
