I am the Warden Chapter 41 My wish is world peace!
At this point in the game, the emotions of the players on both sides are quite different from usual.
The Trail Blazers were excited, while the Kings were annoyed. Although they both used foul language, they gave people different feelings.
The intermission ended quickly and the Trail Blazers sent out a combination of Liu Xiu, Derek Anderson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Rasheed Wallace.
The Kings sent out a combination of Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Brad Miller and Divac.
At the start of the final quarter, the Trail Blazers attacked first.
As soon as he came on the court, Randolph used a fierce low-post single play to give the Trail Blazers the lead. He backed down Brad Miller, turned right and made a layup, causing Brad Miller to foul!
Brad Miller 5 foul!
Randolph also made the free throw , 106 to 100, and the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 6 points.
When the Kings attacked, Bibby took a step back and took a two-point shot...but missed!
The TV commentators have noticed the contradictory mentality of the Kings players now - "We are in such good shape, we can win against the Trail Blazers no matter what game we play", "We need to rely on our individual abilities."
In the past two years, the Kings have indeed been a little bit intoxicated by others calling them "handsome guys"... No, they have been immersed in others saying "you are the real 2002 champions."
This may be the case.
But the pride that this brings is not a good thing for them.
It was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack again. Liu Xiu went around the post, came out from the baseline, came to the top arc, received the ball, and the Kings players pounced on him!
Liu Xiu passed the ball to the right sideline. When Tianzun received the ball, he stepped out of the three-point line and took a three-point shot from the right sideline...and it went in!
20 points!
The Trail Blazers scored 20+ points for the second time in this game!
It is true that Liu Xiu's outburst brought great help to the Trail Blazers, but it was Tianzun, Randolph, and Flying Squirrel who held the team back and allowed Liu Xiu to help the team with his outburst shots...
109 to 100, the Trail Blazers scored 6 to 0 in the fourth quarter! One more goal and the score difference will be widened to double digits!
Finally, Doug Christie stood up, broke through the baseline and made a quick stop jump shot, scoring two points and helping the Kings stop the bleeding.
102 to 109, the Kings narrowed the gap to 7 points.
Immediately afterwards, Randolph received the ball in the low post and made a layup, making the score 111 to 102, and the difference came to 9 points again.
When the Kings attacked, Peja, who had been silent for a while, finally started again. He received the ball and made a two-point shot, increasing his personal score to 28 points and narrowing the gap to 7 points again.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Derek Anderson controlled the ball. Liu Xiu cut in from the middle and ran out while shouting, "Give it to me quickly, I want to shoot, that guy is going to score more than me..."
Derek Anderson passed the ball immediately after hearing it. Liu Xiu received the ball in the middle distance on the left side of the three-second zone. Peja and Bibby moved over together. Most people on the court's attention was attracted by Liu Xiu. Even Divac, who was defending Randolph on the left side of the three-second zone, did not notice that Randolph went around the basket!
Because Brad Miller committed his fifth foul, Divac went to the low post to defend Randolph, and Brad Miller pulled out.
Brad Miller quickly retreated to the inside, and sure enough, Liu Xiu did not shoot, but instead hoisted the ball into the basket. Divac failed to complete the interception, and when he reacted, Randolph had already received the ball!
Randolph caught the ball and stood up to shoot... "Snap"... It was not the sound of a block, but the sound of a hand hitting the arm.
“Beep!”
With the referee's whistle, the ball fell into the frame!
Randolph rushed out and high-fived Liu Xiu to celebrate!
Liu Xiu said loudly: "He is not smart. He will definitely take seriously the words that only a fool would believe."
Derek Anderson, who came up to ask for a high five, also wanted to be beaten!
He believed it too!
Only Randolph and Liu Xiu have such a tacit understanding. Everyone else has been fooled... Oh! No! There is another person!
Brad Miller also guessed it, and he rushed in from the right mid-range and fouled Randolph, and left the game with 6 fouls!
Only a fool would believe...
Watching Brad Miller walk towards the bench with his hands raised and a helpless look on his face.
Look at Bobby Jackson who was chasing Liu Xiu without losing his position.
Thinking back to the ball just now, if he insisted on staying on the left side of the free throw line, he would have the possibility of intercepting Liu Xiu's pass and getting it back to the basket in time to avoid Brad Miller's 6th foul... Peja's mentality exploded! He rushed towards Liu Xiu... but was stopped by his teammates!
"Brother, calm down!"
Divac knew his national team teammates too well. After hearing Liu Xiu's words and seeing Peja's frustrated expression, he quickly ran over and stopped Peja.
Peja's action made the fans, who had just calmed down after cheering for Randolph for a while, become agitated again.
The referee was shocked. Is this going to be another fight?
He just ended his suspension and is about to make a comeback... eh?
After a closer look, it turned out that the opponent wanted to fight! Fortunately, he was stopped by his teammates.
The referee took a closer look and saw Liu Xiu holding his neck high, looking at Peja with a mocking look...
Noticing the referee's gaze, Liu Xiu turned to look at the referee, his expression instantly turned innocent: "Sir, he wants to hit me!"
"..." The referee picked up the whistle speechlessly, "beep", and gave Liu Xiu a T-sign, and then "beep" and gave Peja a T-sign who was making a fighting gesture.
Just when he was wondering what to do, Liu Xiu asked for T, and the referee decisively hit him with a stick.
Such a punishment will not affect the score, and as long as the two players do not cause trouble afterwards, it will have no real impact on the game.
As for whether the foul should be called or not... just appeal after the game. Every year, many technical fouls are revoked.
The Tianzun's eyes lit up next to him - he had learned a new technical offense posture... "Pah, pah, pah, why would I learn this?"
After two technical fouls, the situation eased and Randolph went to the free throw line.
Randolph also made the free throw, 114 to 104, the score difference came to 10 points, and Randolph's personal score also reached 20 points! The Trail Blazers scored 20+ points for the third time in a single game tonight!
Liu Xiu scored 29 points, Randolph scored 20 points, and Tianzun scored 20 points. The three of them have scored 69 points together! Including Xiao Feishu who scored 11 points and 7 assists, the four top scorers have scored 80 points together!
The Kings called a timeout to make adjustments.
Divac was supposed to take a break in the middle of the fourth quarter, but Brad Miller was ejected and Divac had to continue playing.
Replacing Brad Miller was rookie Darius Songaila, and Bibby also replaced Bobby Jackson in advance.
For the Trail Blazers, Reuben Patterson replaced Derek Anderson, while Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Rasheed Wallace continued to play.
After the timeout, Peja calmed down, moved patiently, received the ball at close range on the right side of the three-second zone, turned around and made a jump shot.
106 to 114, the Kings maintained the chance to catch up.
Looking back, Liu Xiu overpowered Bibby in the interior and squeezed into the basket for a layup.
Darius Songaila is indeed useful, has a high basketball IQ and decent skills, but his role on the defensive end is similar to that of Bibby and Peja. It would be too difficult for him to replace Brad Miller!
The TV commentator shouted that Liu Xiu scored 31 points in a single game, breaking Anthony's single-game scoring record for rookies this season!
Peja just scored 30 points, surpassing Liu Xiu's 29 points, and Liu Xiu scored immediately.
"This bastard is targeting me!"
Peja had this crazy idea.
In fact, Liu Xiu didn’t think so much about it. The opportunity just came. He did want to score higher than Peja, but helping the team win came first.
He really can't control how many points he scores, but he can control his impulse to shoot randomly.
But that was not the case in Peja's opinion. Liu Xiu scored 27 points in the first half, but in the second half, before this ball, Liu Xiu only scored 2 points in the third quarter. It felt like he was waiting for him to catch up in points and then defeat him!
For a shooter like Peja, open shots and shots in rhythm are the main shooting opportunities.
He is not good at holding the ball, but he is an excellent setter and has tactical awareness... But now, he can't take care of that!
When it was the Kings' turn to attack, since Peja had just scored, the Kings' usual style of play was to pass the ball to whoever scored in the previous round, using the threat of the goal to attract double-teaming or assisting defense, and then pass the ball.
Peja received the ball after going around the rim. Travis Otero and Randolph both rushed towards him, but he chose to turn around and shoot... "Snap"...
This time, it was the sound of hand and ball touching!
Travis Outlaw blood caps Peja!
Travis Outlaw showed his super fast jumping speed, jumping up on the spot and blocking Peja's three-pointer!
It was still the Kings' offense. Peja actively ran to receive the serve. Divac passed the ball to him, but his three-pointer after receiving the ball and turning around missed!
A block, a hit, and two sounds of "pop" and "clang" seemed to shatter Peja's confidence!
In the following time, Peja took two shots and missed both.
Bibby and Doug Christie worked hard to lead the team to chase points, while Randolph and Rasheed Wallace also tried hard to compete with the opponent.
During this period, Liu Xiu was responsible for three-point containment and ball distribution.
When the opponent consciously moves to the inside, only Randolph can score, and they still have to rely on Rasheed Wallace's outside shooting. Players with single scoring ability like Liu Xiu and spot shooters like Reuben Patterson can only play a role in restraining the defense.
Liu Xiu was very patient. He knew that although he scored the highest points in the game, the ones who really decided the game for their team were Randolph and Rasheed Wallace.
Be patient and the opportunity will always come!
At 8 minutes and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter, Liu Xiu passed the ball to Randolph, then cut into the middle and went around the wing. Bibby first went to help block Travis Outlaw who was following up, then went to Liu Xiu, but was blocked by Rasheed Wallace!
Randolph did not pass the ball to Travis Outlaw, but instead passed it to Liu Xiu who was walking along the baseline and heading towards the right corner!
When Liu Xiu received the ball and prepared to shoot, Bibby and Darius Songaila rushed out. The shooting time was a little over two seconds, very slow, and the ball flew over the fingers of Darius Songaila who rushed over to block the shot...
I haven’t shot for a long time, but when I caught the ball and shot at a fixed point, the “fixed-point sniper” was triggered, and my hands felt hot!
Liu Xiu’s fifth three-point shot...went in again!
128 to 112, the score difference widened to 16 points!
Immediately afterwards, Bibby missed a three-pointer, Darius Songaila fouled while grabbing the rebound, Randolph went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws, and the Kings called a timeout... and gave up!
112 to 129, 3 minutes left, 17 points difference, the Kings are in such a state of collapse, 34 points in the first quarter, 40 points in the second quarter, only 26 points in the third quarter, and only 12 points in 9 minutes of the fourth quarter! No more games!
During the timeout, a group of substitute players on the opposing team's bench stood up and walked towards the technical table, and the Trail Blazers also made substitutions.
The lineup of Jeff McGinnis, Derek Anderson, Matt Carroll, Dale Davis and Spantinha, with the support of veterans, can avoid any setbacks.
When Liu Xiu and others were replaced, cheers and applause rang out again!
There were no surprises, and in the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings 135-122, winning this crazy scoring battle!
When the final whistle sounded, the scene burst into cheers again. The fans of the Trail Blazers did not expect that they could hold on when the Kings scored 40 points in the second quarter! In the end, they even defeated the Kings who were in such a hot state!
Liu Xiu!
He is handsome, good at fighting, and can also play basketball. Many fans said - they love him!
Of course, there are still many people who don’t like it…

The first S-level rating of the new season came earlier than expected!
One more time... If the Kings are on guard, even with a fixed-point sniper, he won't be able to score many points. If he scores two goals, the opponent will definitely be more prepared.
Liu Xiu celebrated with his teammates, and then reporters came!
Today's game will be broadcast live!
Liu Xiu was lucky to have played two games and both were broadcast live. Such a good performance was seen by others. In the past two years, the number of fans of the Kings is much greater than that of the Trail Blazers and the Pistons.
34 points, breaking Anthony's single-game record of 30 points.
5 of 5 three-pointers, 14 of 19 shots, and a very high hit rate... and he beat Peja in the scoring. What questions will he be asked? How should he answer?
Liu Xiu is very conflicted!
but……
"Jace, you had a conflict with your opponent during the game and almost got into a fight again. Do you have a violent tendency?"
"..." The smile on Liu Xiu's face froze... After a while, he replied: "No, I don't like fighting, I hate fighting, I hope the world is full of love, I advocate love and peace."
