Healing Basketball

Chapter 1086 Afterword
Liu Xiu came back again, and Anthony submitted a trade application.

The relationship between the two is so good that after the new season, Anthony will face the issue of contract renewal.

He didn't want to get along with Liu Xiu as an employee + brother, because there would inevitably be disputes over salary and benefits.

Talking about feelings at this time will hurt money.

Liu Xiu didn't force it, this is indeed a problem.

Neither of them expected that the year they had worked together would be the last year.

It can only be said that life is unsatisfactory nine out of ten.

But it was a very lucky thing to have the opportunity to cooperate for a year, and in that year, they also completed the so-called "most legendary" championship journey.

最终，在2013-2014赛季开始前，开拓者队与湖人队达成协议，用安东尼，换回了湖人队在12年用榜眼签选中的布拉德利-比尔、13年用8号签选中的肯塔维奥斯-波普、12-13赛季场均10.6分5.4板3.2助攻的小前锋特雷沃-阿里扎、湖人队2014年无保护和2016年前三顺位保护的首轮签。

Renewing Deron's contract, trading Anthony, and signing Howard, who was too expensive to sell from the Magic, the Lakers formed the new Big Three.

For the Trail Blazers, Bradley Beal, a talented shooting guard who averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in his rookie year, joined. Ray Allen took the initiative to apply to the bench. Last season, at the age of 37, he had already played the worst performance of his career. Performance, playing 30 minutes per game, only got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. In this summer's "Kobe Bryant Training Camp", he also felt that the gap between him and the top players became more and more obvious.

Liu Xiu gave Ray Allen a two-year contract extension, hoping that Ray Allen can play until he is 40 years old, and increase the record for the total number of three-pointers made, so that a certain elementary school student will not surpass it too easily. The elementary school students don't know who they learned from. They averaged 3+ three-pointers per game in the second grade. Last season, they averaged 4.1 three-pointers per game, becoming the first super three-pointer in NBA history with 300+ three-pointers in a single season... Unfortunately, Ray Allen refused.

Ray Allen thinks he is old. Hill also retired with peace of mind after the Trail Blazers traded three players who could play the second and third positions. He joined the coaching staff and became a member of the trainer team. I hope Use his 'injury experience' to help the Trail Blazers, the team that brought him back from the ashes and allowed him to win two championships.

When some veterans grow old, there are young players who stand up.

13-14赛季，阿里扎打出了顶级3D表现，场均拿到14.2分6板2助攻2抢断，以41%的三分命中率场均投进2.1个三分球，成为刘秀身旁最强的锋线大闸和侧翼投手。

Although Bradley Beal is the starter, his playing time is about the same as that of Ray Allen. He plays 22 to 25 minutes per game, which is not as much as his rookie season, but he plays more honestly than when he was next to Deron. They are all bosses, and he chose to learn how to win.

As a substitute, Ray Allen averaged 10.2 points per game, a record low in his career, but his three-point performance was still top-notch, averaging 44.2 three-pointers per game with a 1.9% three-point shooting rate, second only to the team. Liu Xiu, who averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game, and Ariza, who averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game.

波什已经完全调整好了打法，成为了防守和运动能力加强、但单打和接球投篮都弱化版本的银角大王，场均拿到16分6.8板2.2助攻0.9抢断1.1盖帽。

12-13赛季刚刚拿到最佳防守球员的小加索尔，在13-14赛季正式与刘秀组成双核，打出了场均11.7分8.9板4.6助攻1.1抢断1.6盖帽的表现，连续第二年拿下最佳防守球员奖。

法外狂徒在典狱长退役两年后，本来也打算退役了，12-13赛季场均只拿到8.2分4板1助攻0.5抢断0.7盖帽，是其改打第六人后的数据新低。

刘秀复出，发哇狂徒立马支棱了起来，在13-14赛季场均拿到13.2分6.6板1.1助攻1.4抢断1.2盖帽，当选最佳第六人。

In the first year of Liu Xiu's comeback, some people questioned at the beginning how much strength he still has after he has boxed for two years and is already 31 years old?

然后他用场均35分8.8板7.6助攻3.1抢断1.3盖帽，53.4%的投篮命中率、44%的三分命中率、90%的罚球命中率，打出了生涯最佳表现。

After 82 games in the regular season, Liu Xiu led the team to a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, beating the two-time defending champion Spurs with 58 wins and winning the regular season championship!

After a few years of reincarnation, after a 10-year reshuffle, it has been the fourth season, and the strengths of the major teams have gradually become balanced. The Heat, the No. 4 Eastern Conference team, only scored 56 wins and 26 losses.

Liu Xiu won the regular season MVP by relying on her amazing personal performance and the league's first record!

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers were in full swing in the first two rounds, sweeping the eighth Rockets in the West 4-0, and the Grizzlies fifth in the West 4-1. In the Western Conference Finals, they defeated the Spurs 4-1 and ended the Spurs. The team's two consecutive championships shattered the dynasty dreams of Dashen and Shifo.

In the East, the Pistons and the Heat took turns entering the Finals for three consecutive years. This time, it's the Pistons' turn!
But whether it is the Pistons or the Heat, they have reached the end of their strength. Although the Pistons introduced Pierce to strengthen the front line, they also defeated the Heat. In the finals, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pistons 4-1 cleanly. The 6th O'Brien Cup in team history!

Liu Xiu also won the finals MVP for the 5th time in his career!

Darkness, come again!
...

After the end of the season, Ray Allen, who won five championship rings, announced his retirement. Liu Xiu said in an interview that he would retire Ray Allen's No. 5 jersey when the championship flag was raised in the opening game of the new season.

At the same time, as the team's No. 0 player, former owner Paul Allen will retire the jersey.

Upon hearing the news, Paul Allen got up that night and went to make an appointment with a Cuban model who was as old as a wolf, and almost drained himself...

Bosh jumped out of his contract at the end of the season to test the free market.

In order to avoid risks, Liu Xiu chose not to renew the contract with Bosh, and helped Bosh find another home.

In the end, Bosh joined the Rockets with the largest contract in history of 5 million US dollars in five years.

The Trail Blazers got Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris brothers, and a future first-round pick in return.

By mid-July, David Stern had struggled for a year. In the end, he chose not to retire and continued to serve as NBA president, but he delegated a lot of power, and the one who received these powers was not the next president in Liu Xiu’s impression. Joke, but Stu Jackson.

According to rumors, David - Stern is afraid of jokes because of personal grievances screwed up.

There are rumors that the NFL wants to try to find Liu Xiu to play games and have fun. The warden in his 30s still seems to be physically fit.

At the end of August, Liu Xiu, who had just regained the top of the NBA, led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the third Naismith Cup in his career and the first Basketball World Cup championship trophy.

But for Chinese basketball, an era may have ended this summer.

In the World Championships... No, it was the Basketball World Cup for three consecutive championships and after creating a dynasty, Yao Ming also chose to retire from the NBA!
After winning the men's basketball gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012, Wang Zhizhi was pardoned by the Knicks, retired from the NBA, and returned to the CBA Bayi team to play.

After Yao Ming retired from the NBA, he did not return to play in the CBA and completely retired.

Yao Ming, who has just turned 34, averaged 16 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.8 blocks per game in the runner-up year last season. For the center, the frame guard has begun to show flaws.

And although his statistics and offensive and defensive performance are still top-notch, his health has gradually begun to fail. The number of appearances is only a career-low 58 games, which is even lower than the 59 games he played in the suspension year.

Therefore, Yao Ming chose to retire bravely, leaving behind the image of "the world's number one center" to retire.

Taking advantage of Dongfeng's victory in the first Basketball World Cup, Yao Ming joined the basketball management center and became an executive member, participating in the construction of the domestic basketball industry...

After Wang Zhizhi won the Basketball World Cup with the Chinese team as a substitute, he also retired from the national team.

Seeing that the two retired, the 32-year-old Liu Xiu also chose to retire from the national team.

In the Chinese men's basketball team that won the World Series for the first time in 06, only Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian were left.

So far, the first golden age of the Chinese men's basketball team has come to an end.

But the development of domestic basketball and the overall performance of other players in the national team are far better than Liu Xiu's impression!
In the Spanish Basketball World Cup in 14, the Chinese team won the championship. In addition to the performance of several stars who played in the NBA, those players who played in China and went to study in Europe also played a huge role.

Liu Xiu can't say that he retired with confidence, but he has done what he can and fulfilled the responsibility of a basketball player.

How to develop Chinese basketball in the future depends on the efforts of the younger generation of players.

Whether to continue the glory or become a disgrace, he can't say.

In the next 14-15 season, the Trail Blazers, who lost Bosh, drove low and went high, and finally achieved a record of 57 wins, ranking second in the Western Conference behind the Grizzlies.

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers went all the way, defeating the Jazz led by Paul, the classic car Spurs, Curry who won the first regular season MVP in his career, and the Grizzlies led by Oden who was the first best defensive player. Team, and finally met KING who returned to his hometown to play in the finals again, swept 4 to 0, and completed the defending title!
With this championship, Liu Xiu surpassed Michael Jordan, won 7 championships, and became the No.1 in the modern basketball era, 7 finals MVPs, the first in history!

In the 15-16 season, Bradley Beal made great progress, Gasol Jr. reached the peak, plus Ariza, Korver, Morris Brothers, Dragic... and other role players, in Liu Xiu Under the leadership of the Blazers, the Trail Blazers played a bright season, won the regular season championship with 66 wins, won the scoring champion for 3 consecutive seasons, and Liu Xiu, who won the scoring champion for the 8th time in his career, won again after a year. Won the regular season MVP, tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and ranked first in history with 6 regular season MVPs!

In the playoffs, Liu Xiu defeated the Hornets led by Guigui in the first round and the Grizzlies in the second round with Oden's injury. In the Western Conference finals, he faced Kobe, who was selected to the second team this season and averaged 24 points per game. Duncan, who averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in the three teams, led the Spurs, and the Trail Blazers advanced 4-2.

Dashen's dream of the 6th championship and Shifo's dream of the 5th championship were both shattered!
After the Western Conference finals, Dashen and Shifo, who had won two consecutive championships together, announced their retirement.

Retired at 24 and 21. Garnett, who returned to the Timberwolves to play for two years, McGrady and Andre Miller, who failed to hug their thighs with the Spurs, announced their retirement.

The only players who entered the NBA in the 90s are Silver Horn Kings, Jets, Demigods, etc., and there are only a handful of them.

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Bulls led by Paul and Harden in the finals, completing the dynasty for the second time, and Liu Xiu won three consecutive FMVPs for the second time!

Without having to wear the crown himself, he has become the goat in most people's minds.

In the 15-16 season, the new NBA broadcast contract came into effect. Compared with the 14-15 season, the NBA's total income soared by nearly 40.00%.

Under the insistence of Paul, the chairman of the players' union, the players' union refused to gradually increase the salary cap and distribute the increased income to active players according to the existing contract ratio, and insisted on directly increasing the salary cap.

于是，16-17赛季的工资帽，从15-16赛季的8100万美刀涨到了1.09亿美刀。

The 31-year-old Paul, his contract expires in the summer of 2018, and he has the right to jump out of the contract next summer.

After the new labor agreement was reached, Paul and the Bulls renewed a four-year $4 million contract in advance. In the final 1.8-2021 season, his salary will reach $2022 million, making him the first player in NBA history to receive more than $5122. A player with a $5000 contract.

However, Paul's 11-year veteran's designated clause contract is still rare at present. The Grizzlies and Oden have reached a five-year $5 million contract, which is already the majority of players under this salary cap. maximum salary.

For the Trail Blazers, after the salary cap skyrocketed, they immediately signed the Hornets' expiring free agent Aldridge with a five-year, $5 million contract. Er, Bradley Beal, who renewed his rookie contract for $1.2 million in 4 years, renewed Ariza's contract for $9000 million in two years, plus the nominal maximum salary player Liu Xiu...formed the Super Five again!
But this summer, Dragic left the Trail Blazers and joined the Heat for 5 million in five years.

The dream of the dynasty came true, and Dragic also went to pursue a big contract.

In the 16-17 season, the Trail Blazers won 67 wins and won the regular season championship again. The 35-year-old Liu Xiu averaged 33 points per game against Russell Westbrook, who averaged 32.4 points per game. 9 scoring champions.

And overwhelmed Turtle, who averaged a triple-double per game, won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and the number of MVPs reached 7 times!Surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and monopolized the first place in history!

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers worked hard and overcame obstacles all the way. In the first round, they narrowly beat the Hornets led by the Turtles 4-3. In the second round, they defeated the Hornets led by Oden and Curry, who had just received big contracts, 4-2. The Grizzlies, in the Western Conference finals, narrowly beat the Thunder of the super foursome of Rose, Roy, Durant, and Ibaka 4-3.

The Thunder overdrawn the first-round pick and first-round pick swap rights for the next 6 years, and exchanged Roy from the Timberwolves.

On the Timberwolves side, Gasol left and joined the Knicks. The Timberwolves sent away Roy, who was over 30 years old, and overthrew the team, revolving around the "point guard version of the little emperor" who averaged 28+8+8 per game Tyreke Evans rebuilds.

In the finals, it was the Knicks led by Antetokounmpo, Harden, and Gasol who broke through the East this time.

The finals are always easier. The Trail Blazers beat the Knicks 4-1 and won 4 consecutive championships!

Liu Xiu won the 9th championship of his career!
In the 17-18 season, the Trail Blazers ended their 4 consecutive championships and won 58 wins in the regular season.
But Liu Xiu, who averaged 31 points per game in the regular season, overwhelmed Guigui, who averaged 29.8 points per game, and won the scoring title for five consecutive seasons.

This year, Harden signed the Grizzlies naked and teamed up with Curry, Klay Thompson, and Oden; the Lakers traded Deron for Paul George, James bought a school district house, joined the Lakers, and , Paul George teamed up.

The two teams fought fiercely in the Western Conference finals. In the end, Curry, a primary school student known as the strongest three-pointer in history, led the Grizzlies to the finals, defeated the Bulls led by Paul 4-1, and won the regular season for the second time in his career. Curry, the MVP, won the finals FMVP and became the second active player to win both MVP and FMVP in a single season after Liu Xiu.

In the 18-19 season, Liu Xiu was under the spotlight and averaged 28.6 points per game, beating Durant, who joined the Bulls and averaged 27.9 points per game with Paul, and won the scoring title for 6 consecutive seasons. The scoring champion surpassed Michael Jordan and became the player with the most scoring titles in NBA history.

But this season, the Trail Blazers he led, due to injuries, fatigue and other reasons, only got a record of 49 wins. It was also the first time in his career that the regular season record was less than 50 wins, ranking only fifth in the West.

Already at the age of 37, in people's eyes, he has already stepped down from the altar.

This year, his scoring has set a new low since his comeback. It is also the first time in five seasons that his shooting percentage has fallen below 5%, and his three-point shooting percentage will also reach 50%.

During the All-Star Weekend, he packed up the Trail Blazers, the Rose Garden Arena, and the Willamette Garden training facility for $55 billion, and sold them to Phil Knight, the founder of the Hooks, and the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alan Smolinjski left only the 'Rose Bay Museum' next to the Rose Garden Arena as a memorial.

The museum will also continue its long-term cooperation with the Trail Blazers to exhibit various trophies.

Before the start of the playoffs, in order to give back to the new owner who bought the team at a high price, Liu Xiu admitted in an interview that he will retire after this season.

This has made basketball fans, boxing fans all over the world, and even passers-by who didn't watch basketball before, focus on this year's playoffs.

In the last season, Liu Xiu had no pressure, and played very relaxed in the playoffs.

Although, when the "second growth period" passed, his healing value has been used to "extend life" for his athletic ability, but at the age of 37, his athletic ability has dropped to the average top level, although it is still He can run and jump, but his style of play has completely become a floor style.

But it was such a low-level player who made the entire league feel fear in the playoffs!
He showed what is called the number one technician in basketball history!
He took the 34-year-old Aldridge, the 34-year-old Gasol, the 34-year-old Ariza, and the 35-year-old extrajudicial fanatic...

And the 28-year-old Morris twin brothers who are in their prime...

And 26-year-old Bradley Beal, just entering his prime, ready to take the torch from the warden...  

Go all the way in the playoffs!
In the first round, relying on the performance of all members, they defeated the Thunder team led by Rose alone 4-1.

In the second round, relying on Bradley Beal's key ball play and Gasol's frame protection, he defeated KING's classmates and Dong Ge's No. 4 Lakers in the West 2-[-].

In the Western Conference Finals, Liu Xiu averaged 41 points per game and defeated the defending champion Grizzlies led by Curry, Harden and Oden 4-2.

In the finals, Liu Xiu met Brother Pao again!

Now Paul is no longer a small cannon, but an old cannon with the highest salary in the history of booking!

The 34-year-old Paul looks much older than the 37-year-old Liu Xiu.

总决赛刘秀6场比赛拿到28.5分5.8板7.5助攻2.5抢断，率领开拓者队以4比2击败保罗和杜兰特率领的公牛队，赢得总冠军，获得总决赛MVP！

In 17, after completing four consecutive championships, Liu Xiu did not retire and failed to win the championship in the 17-18 season. Many media said that his "legendary" was affected.

But at the age of 37, with a group of old-fashioned teammates, he counterattacked and won the championship all the way when he was not favored... making the legend even more legendary!

During the playoffs, the major media exclaimed that the warden is still the best basketball player in the world.

But after winning the championship, Liu Xiu handed over the championship trophy to Bill, and announced his retirement again without the slightest hesitation.

14年职业生涯，7次常规赛MVP，10次总冠军，1次3连冠、1次4连冠，10次总决赛MVP，11次得分王、两次助攻王、6次抢断王，13次一阵、1次三阵、8次一防、5次二防，14次全明星首发、11次全明星票王，6次全明星MVP……

Played 1136 games in the regular season of his career, with a total score of 34387.

Averaged 30.67 points per game, the first in history!

Played 245 games in the playoffs in his career, scoring a total of 8741 points, ranking first in history!

Averaged 35.67 points per game, the first in history!

3 times basketball world championship champion, 1 Olympic men's basketball gold medals, [-] Olympic men's basketball bronze medal.

When Liu Xiu retired, his No. 1 position in basketball history was well established!

The time came to June 2019, 6, the day before the NBA Draft. The NBA officially held a press conference. David Stern announced that the regular season MVP trophy will be named the Jess Cup!

After announcing the award, David Stern also officially announced his retirement, handing over the position of president to Stu Jackson of "Xiao Guicao Sui".

Liu Xiu brought the influence of basketball in the world to a whole new level. At this time, Stern did not choose a successor with the ability to make things happen, but chose a moderate.

The major branches of Time Magazine temporarily adjusted the cover and front page to Liu Xiu's retirement at the same time, making fun of it—the darkness that shrouded the basketball world in the world has finally dissipated.

He also commented on Liu Xiu's career - with his own efforts, the Trail Blazers have become a basketball giant comparable to the Lakers and Celtics!
In terms of the national team, he also led the Chinese basketball in the golden age and became the overlord of an era!

...

Little Jay.

Back in 2016, when he was 12 years old, Liu Lun, who had just graduated from elementary school, secretly signed up for the selection of the National Youth Reserve Team organized by an association when Liu Xiu went back to China to travel with him during the offseason.

At only 12 years old, he crushes all competitors in all aspects from physical fitness to basic technical skills. Even some players who look almost 20 years old and don't know if they lied about their age are not as good as him.

But he lost the district primary election!A competitor who looked to be in his 20s was selected!

The reason was that the organizer called Liu Xiu to ask for money, and the first thing he said was a [-] primary election fee, but Liu Xiu hung up on it as a fraudulent call.

Liu Lun, who found out that the organizer had actually called his father to ask for money when he got home, felt desperate for Chinese football on the spot.

If you don't pay for the trial training, you won't pass the primary election!
In the following summer, he didn't touch football again. His father found that he didn't seem to like playing football, and he didn't ask him why. He just asked him if he wanted to play basketball, and he taught him.

But Liu Lun refused!

He watched a lot of live broadcasts of table tennis matches at home this summer, and saw that a guy with a sleepy face, dark circles under his eyes, who could tell from staying up all night doing bad things or overindulging could win the world championship, he thought he could too .

He said to his father: Little basketball is ridiculous, but Guoping is king!
This summer, Liu Lun did not go to Portland with Liu Xiu, but stayed in BJ to study in junior high school and participated in table tennis training.

Five years have passed, and in July 5, after the end of his second year of high school, his ping-pong dream was shattered. At the age of 2021, he went to the United States, found his father who settled in Portland, and learned to play basketball.

Playing table tennis is not difficult, but there are too many good people!

He thought he was already very strong, but in the end, he couldn't even grab the provincial team spot in the youth competition!

This time, it's not that I can't get it without money, but that I really can't beat it...

At the age of 17, he is already taller than his father, and may grow longer, which is one of the reasons why he gave up playing table tennis.

In September, his father found a man nicknamed the Great God, whose jersey was retired by the Lakers and Spurs, to teach him how to forge... no, how to play basketball.

A certain number 24 was a little frustrated... What about teaching me how to play football?

Although he is a goalkeeper, he thinks he can still play football...

On the contrary, Liu Xiu's eldest daughter, Liu Na, also became an athlete, and her sports career went smoothly.

Instead of playing basketball, she became a volleyball player.

In terms of IQ, she is not as high as her brother. Although she is not stupid, she is not smart.

But it is precisely because of this that she did not want to 'save the world', but decided to join after seeing the miracle crown of the Chinese women's volleyball team when she was 12 years old.

In 19, at the age of 15, she has already become a high-profile new star in the volleyball world. Most of her appearance has been inherited from her mother. Before she officially participated in the National Youth Team, she has become a national sports player in China. Idol.

In contrast, Liu Lun's sports career has been bumpy.

The time came to April 2023, 4. Liu Lun, a sophomore at UCLA, led the Bruins to defeat the Connecticut Huskies in the final of the NCAA Basketball Championship and won the 4th NCAA Basketball Championship in team history!
Liu Lun, who has practiced basketball for two and a half years, is good at singing and dancing, and is also good at rapping, announced that after winning the MOP in the NCAA Basketball Championship Final Four, he announced that he would end his college career early and participate in the NBA draft!

5月15号，常规赛拿到30胜52负排在西部第13名的开拓者队，以9%的概率抽中了状元签！
The 19-year-old French genius center Victor Wenbanyama, who was already hesitating whether to participate in the draft, announced his withdrawal from the draft.

On June 2023, 6, in the NBA Draft, Stu Jackson announced that the Portland Trail Blazers selected Liu Lun, the No.28 son in basketball history, with the first overall pick!
Bradley Beal took over the class for a few years and took over a lonely, 30-year-old Bradley Beal. After the son of the former boss came to the team, he saw that he was as invincible as the boss back then. Talent, but also has a stronger height of 201 cm, decisively gave up the boss position.

The basketball era belonging to the warden's son has officially kicked off!
