Healing Basketball

Chapter 130 130. Do you want to make another bet?

Liu Xiu was waiting for Anthony at a family restaurant near his home.

This restaurant requires advance reservations.

If Anthony hadn’t called for the fourth time, then this lunch, he would have asked a girl to eat with him. We could have a good talk and discuss how life is born...

It's a pity that Dong Ge still understands him.

I heard that Anthony brought a teammate here, not a veteran teammate like Camby, just an ordinary starting-level insider, Liu Xiu also called a teammate...

I'm so happy today, Liu Xiu is going to draw the prize.

"The available healing value is 13662."

As usual, there are more than 3000 left for emergencies. This time he purposely made up enough to draw 10 times.

'Boss of the system, 10 draws in a row! '

With a thought in Liu Xiu's mind, the system screen appeared, switched to the lottery drawing interface, and the continuous lottery drawing began... There is no discount for 10 consecutive draws, which is really a pity.

Box lunch, box lunch, candied haws, box lunch, candied haws, candied haws...

Not surprisingly, this time the 1 healing value added a bunch of physical power items.

Didn't hit the jackpot, but not bad.

The three uses of simulated training, physical props, fast learning mode, and healing value ensure his strength to improve.

When the physical props are used the most, it is actually to recover physical strength after training during the day on the day of the game.

Recently, his breakthroughs in back hitting and front changing direction have become more and more obvious.

Coupled with the improvement of basic skills and the progress brought about by actual combat, he estimates that it will not be too long to break through to a good upstream level and reach the level of Jeff McGinnis or Derek Anderson.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xiu heard a loud noise coming from outside the house.

Liu Xiu got up immediately, put on the overcoat hanging beside her, and went to the door to have a look.

Was this a car accident or was there a fight?
If someone shoots, tell those people to run away quickly, and don't make an appointment for this meal.

Living in Free America, Liu Xiu has an excellent sense of security.

But when they walked to the door, what they heard was not discussions, not panic... but excited screams!

The location of this restaurant is a villa area with a large artificial lake, and most of the surrounding areas are homestays and family restaurants. After dinner, there are many people coming and going on the road.

Now people gathered together to watch the three men who had just got out of the car.

The three were divided into two sides, one side was the man who made the people scream excitedly.

On the other side were two tall men over two meters tall.

The characteristic of the three of them is that they are all dressed in black and white, suits and leather shoes, and they are imposing.

The two sides were looking at each other two or three meters away, with stern faces, as if a disagreement was about to stage a scene of a gangster movie firefight.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu turned around decisively and walked back to the restaurant...but it was too late!

People on both sides saw him and shouted at the same time: "Jess (the warden)..."

Grass is a plant.

Liu Xiu just saw a passerby with a camera taking pictures!

……

"For lunch, do you three need to dress so grandly?"

Liu Xiu looked at the NBA star who handed over his coat to the waiter to hang up, and couldn't help complaining.

But the scene just now looks really imposing...

The butcher's gangster temperament is displayed under the guidance of the big gold chain and his attire.

In society, my brother Dong has that bossy aura, not to mention dressing so grandly, even wearing a vest + flip flops can't cover it up.

In comparison, Nene, who is the tallest, looks like a bodyguard.

Anyway, the scene on the street just now must be on the news.

He is very glad that he is not in that picture.

Too high school!

Originally, Liu Xiu felt sorry for the high fees of this restaurant, but now she is lucky to choose this restaurant.

This family restaurant only accepts one table of guests at a time, and there will be no crowd watching. As for the people outside the restaurant, and the reporters who may appear if they can't pass it, let's ignore it.

Anthony immediately retorted: "Your body is also very grand, okay?"

Liu Xiu looked at the white vest on her body and the black coat hanging beside her...

"Melo, are you stuck in traffic?"

You can't tell the few people in front of you about making two-handed preparations.

"Can you improve your ability to change the subject? Can you get a little closer to your ability to fight!"

Anthony gritted his teeth.

Once seated, the food begins.

The last time Liu Xiu and Anthony met was two months ago, and there were many topics to talk about.

As Liu Xiu expected, Dong Ge has become more social in the society. Nene Hilario not only looks like Dong Ge's bodyguard, but from a certain level, he is really his bodyguard...

Surprisingly, Anthony and Randolph got along very well!
First of all, let’s start with the suit I’m wearing today.

One point that made the two of them see each other - they both dressed so grandly because they heard that they were going to have a dinner date with each other.

The scene of the butcher getting off the stretched luxury car has become popular recently.

Even the collective appearance of the "Rose Bay Seven" was not as widespread as the video and pictures of Butcher's "first debut".

And Anthony, who was famous as early as in college, similar to Allen Iverson in the mid-90s, is not only famous in sports, but also in gang background.

The two of them put on the most solemn clothes at the same time, and they couldn't lose face.

That's the second grade.

For a man is a youth until he dies.

……

As a public figure, it is not surprising that he was photographed eating lunch and made news.

Hot news with high topicality is not available every day, and such boring news is the most common.

However, four young players from two NBA teams met for lunch, and were portrayed by the reporter as a "gang meeting".

What made him feel that enough was enough was the new generation of Blazers fans who called themselves 'prisoners of love and peace'.

For such news, these fans seem very happy!The discussion was very lively.

Liu Xiu feels that her team is hopeless, and neither are the fans...

However, he has seen many postings and exchanges of new generation fans in the forum, and he found that these fans do not really want to be 'prisoners', nor are they following malice.

It’s just because the outside world labels them the Trail Blazers and these players. These fans have protested and refuted, but it’s useless. Over time, they choose to accept this kind of public opinion. Fan Duye.

And the fans of their team have more confidence when they quarrel with fans of other teams!

no quality?They are all prisoners of the prison team, what quality do they need.

One rest day passed like this, and on December 12, the game day when the Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets at home arrived.

Approaching the middle of the season, many topics began to become popular.

For example, the MVP competition of Double 21.

Duncan has played the best efficiency of his career so far this season, helping the team score 100 points per 109 rounds while limiting opponents to only 90 points.

比这攻防贡献比更牛的，近几年只有99-00赛季的奥尼尔，比值是115比95；再之前是95-96赛季的乔丹，比值是124比100。

加内特则是打出了恐怖的场均23.9分13.8板5.1助攻1.5抢断2盖帽的表现，同时带队战绩目前联盟第三、西部第二。

The two are currently the biggest contenders for MVP, followed by Jermaine O'Neal, Peja, Kobe, and Kidd.

In terms of the best defensive player, Artest, Ben Wallace and Ratliff compete fiercely.

These two awards are the most important individual awards in the regular season. In addition to these two, there is another award that has attracted much attention-the best rookie.

At the beginning of the season, the best rookie contenders were only James and Anthony.

But at the last moment of the first game month, Liu Xiu broke through the sky. Relying on a triple-double and 52 points in a single game, he won the Player of the Week Award and tied with Anthony for the Rookie of the Month.

Competitors for these awards are fighting each other, which is a natural topic. Random speculation can attract attention and attract paying viewers.

Liu Xiu fought his way out by self-reliance and won several extra broadcasts for the prison team.

Tonight's game against the Nuggets at home by the Trail Blazers has once again been broadcast -- TNT Sports' national live broadcast.

Near noon, the morning preparation training for the Trail Blazers and Nuggets was over, but Liu Xiu and Anthony had not yet finished their work. They were taken to a lounge in the Rose Garden Arena by the staff of their respective teams for an interview.

The person who interviewed them, a heavyweight guest-Charles Barkley.

"Welcome to Sir Charles Barkley's pre-match interview..."

After Barkley made an opening statement, he asked the two to introduce themselves to the audience.

Anthony smiled: "Hi everyone, I'm Carmelo Anthony, very happy..."

Liu Xiu looked at Anthony with ten thousand alpacas running past in his heart.

Damn it, he actually changed into new training uniforms during an interview, and his hair and beard were specially groomed... If I had known, the warden would have tidied him up.

A man's competitive spirit always appears in strange places...

It was Liu Xiu's turn to introduce herself.

The style that Liu Xiu originally wanted to go was taken away by Anthony... There it is!
"Do I still need to introduce myself? So my 52 points are for nothing?"

Not to mention Anthony, even Barkley, who was in charge of the interview, felt that it was too much to beat!
However, Liu Xiu is indeed the most well-known player in the 03 class.

Anthony, who is known as the king of NCAA freshmen, and James, who is known as the strongest high school student in history, have not brought as much attention as Liu Xiu so far this season.

Barkley didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and started the interview directly: "We have collected some questions that fans want to ask you, and selected a few questions that we are also very interested in. Let's start with Carmelo. Who do you think? The best rookie of the class?"

Anthony replied decisively: "Me."

"OK, who do you most want to beat?"

Anthony pointed to Liu Xiu: "He, James and Milicic."

Liu Xiu strongly steals the spotlight: "Milicic? He doesn't even have a chance to play, Melo, you may have to wait a long time to beat him."

Anthony said angrily: "This is my interview!"

"Oke Ok, the question you asked Jess happened to be this one, Jess, who is the rookie of the same class you want to beat the most?"

"He," Liu Xiu also pointed to Anthony, "and Dwyane Wade."

"There's no one else?"

"Others? Who?"

"Such as LeBron James? What do you think of your No. [-] pick this year?" Barkley's face was full of malice.

Liu Xiu rolled her eyes: "Sir Barkley, can you change the question?"

Although he is not afraid of being criticized by fans, Liu Xiu doesn't like to be criticized either.

And the target is James... Although this guy has only a few days to turn 19, but his character is too mature, even if he is stimulated, he can't get a few healing points.

The best way to get healing from this guy is to beat him.

Barkley smiled and said, "Haha, what question do you want me to ask?"

"Well...you can ask me if I have the confidence to get 20 points, and I say yes, and then you say you don't believe it, and you want to bet with me."

"Oh, I really misread you, you are just like Kenny, not a good person!"

……

……

"I am the master of the wind and cloud, and I am willing to break through the crowds to look up to..."

From Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw... to Randolph and Rasheed Wallace, 14 players ran out of the player tunnel one after another with the sound of BGM.

There are starters and substitutes, the first is the substitute, the middle is two inactive players, and the last is five starters, but all of them ran out in a row, in one go.

Anthony looked at the opposite appearance - the city people just know how to play!
In recent games, Liu Xiu and his teammates have tried various ways of playing.

It is not very appropriate to appear on the stage like the day of the debut.

But back to the regular way of appearance, everyone felt that it was too ordinary.

This time, everyone is very satisfied.

The cheers of the fans at the scene also made everyone very satisfied-it was close to the cheers on the day of the debut!

Obviously, the fans are also very satisfied with the new way of appearance of the players.

At 7:46 p.m., the Nuggets and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries before the game, Liu Xiu and his teammates gathered around the bench and listened to the coaching staff making the final arrangements before the game.

The Trail Blazers attached great importance to the game against the Nuggets.

After playing more than 20 games, the Nuggets' status as a team competing for the playoffs has been firmly established-playing 27 games, 16 wins and 11 losses.

As for the team, there must be a dream—what if their prison team rushes to a higher ranking?
You have to prepare for the worst-what if they end up fighting the Nuggets for eighth in the West?
Also, Liu Xiu and Anthony's Rookie of the Month contest...

Unlike in the East where no one can compete with James for the best rookie of the month, in the west, the competition between Liu Xiu and Anthony for the best rookie of the month is quite fierce.

Anthony played steadily, and Liu Xiu had many bright moments.

Which of the two can win the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in the second game month, this game may have a decisive impact.

Of course, the Trail Blazers must try their best to fight for the honor of their own rookie.

In many cases, this kind of thing is not the player's business alone.

Kenny Smith, the commentator of the TNT sports channel that is broadcasting the game, threw a related topic-"Charles, do you think Anthony can break the warden's dominance?"

This topic came so suddenly that Barkley felt that there was a pitfall.

However, he just wanted to jump when he saw the pit, and asked back: "Dominance? Kenny, whose dominance are you talking about?"

"Warden, Jess Liu."

"He? He's a great rookie, but what does he have to do with dominance?" Barkley stepped on first.

Kenny Smith is well prepared: "He won against James, Hinrich, Wade, Bosh."

As for the other rookies... No, these are the only rookies in the 03 class who averaged double figures per game.

Barkley pursed his lips and said: "My teammates are Randolph, Wallace, Stoudemire...I can beat these guys lying down."

"Can you get 52 points lying down?"

"..."

"Can you lay down and get 4 triple-doubles in a season... Oh, you can, you have got up to 5 triple-doubles in a season, do you think the Warden can surpass you? How about we make a bet? "

Barkley couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "I scored 56 points! Playoffs!"

"I'm asking about a triple-double... and the warden hasn't finished his rookie season yet. If you want to compete with him in the playoffs, of course he can't compare to you...

Why don't you compare your playoff record with me? "

"Kenny! I'm going to duel with you!"

The fans in front of the TV were delighted to see Barkley's distraught appearance.

When Liu Xiu was interviewed, the phrase 'do I still need to introduce myself?I got 52 points for nothing? 'It has already caused heated discussions, and Barkley's expression like eating a scorpion at that time also made people laugh.

Kenny Smith and Barkley's tumult at the beginning added a new topic to this game-Liu Xiu now has the title of the most dominant rookie in the 03 session.

Just like Barkley's rebuttal, the title falls on Liu Xiu, which is definitely very controversial.

However, this topic has been thrown out.

Because that's what it is.

Will Liu Xiu continue to maintain his dominance, or will Anthony break Liu Xiu's rule?
For a while, it became the most concerned thing for fans watching the live broadcast of the game.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets at home.

Trail Blazers starters: Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.

Nuggets starting lineup: Andre Miller, Voshan Leonard, Anthony, Nene, Camby's starting lineup.

Nene, who has two eggs, is still very fierce. He narrowly beat Tianzun to win the jump ball, and the Nuggets went first!
The first attack at the beginning was handed over to Anthony for singles.

High school students... Anthony likes to play high school students of the same class. The first two times he played against another high school student of the same class. He scored 14 points and 26 points respectively, while the opponent only scored 7 points and 19 points. In the two games, The Nuggets won both.

For not being the No. [-] pick, he has been very angry.

Why worry?Only hanging!
Facing another high school student in the same class tonight, Anthony continued to attack!

In the fierce confrontation, Travis Outlaw couldn't bear it and retreated again and again.

Anthony caught the defensive loophole when the opposite high school student retreated, stopped suddenly, slapped the ball, and retreated to make a jump shot...

Travis Outlaw reacted very quickly and rushed forward at the first time, showing super physical fitness, with amazing speed and jumping height.

But Anthony had a shooting opportunity and chose to step back. Predicting this, Travis Outlaw missed Anthony.

Anthony made an emergency stop and retreat jumper!

Beautiful score, the fans did not hesitate to applaud Anthony.

This is of course for the sake of Liu Xiu and Randolph.

The scene of Anthony and Randolph meeting on the street at noon yesterday, Anthony's attire, image and temperament, made the Trail Blazers fans seem to see their own people.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Jeff McGinnis chose to break through after advancing to the frontcourt!
Andre Miller didn't make it in time and was caught by Jeff McInnis' crossover.

Jeff McGinnis went straight inside, attracted Camby's defense, and chose the concept of the [-]th pick in the first round-big floater... missed.

But Randolph tipped the basket and scored two points!Jeff McGinnis made a successful assist!

2 to 2 draw.

The assist king feels like he has been tricked!

Karen Mok... No, it's Andre Miller. He won the assists title in the 01-02 season. Although he was called the "weakest assists king in history" with the non-famous player Don Booth, the assists king always It is arrogant.

When it came time for the Nuggets to attack, Andre Miller advanced beyond the three-point line, turned around, and pushed Jeff McGinnis back from the three-point line!

This kind of brute force, this buttocks made Jeff McGinnis think of the training match against Liu Xiu...

In terms of strength and vigor, Liu Xiu is still stronger, but Andre Miller has better power skills... Jeff McGinnis tasted the difference, but no matter which one he couldn't stop live.

Andre Miller pushed Jeff McGinnis to the free throw line, and before the five-second whistle on his back, he rolled over and made a long two-point shot...hit!
No one is going to pinch this ball!
The Nuggets are a completely different team than they were in the preseason.

In Anthony's singles at the beginning and Andre Miller's singles this time, the teammates are actively moving to contain the defense and create better singles opportunities for the two.

The current George Karl is not the future "no superstar concept" coach. At this time, he can use Andre Miller and Anthony with ease, just like he used Gary Payton and Detreve Schwarzenegger back then. As in Ramf.

However, creating good isolation conditions for Andre Miller and Anthony is not the main reason why the Nuggets jumped from the bottom of the league to a strong team in the Western Conference playoffs...

When it came to the Trail Blazers offense, Jeff McGinnis continued to break through Andre Miller.

Andre Miller's defense against power players is okay, but his defense against speed players is too slow.

But this time Nene decisively chose to let Tianzun shrink, the ball passed to Tianzun, Anthony made up the defense in time, Tianzun made another pass, Travis Outlaw caught the ball and made a mid-range shot...

Shuang Dan Nei Nei's defense is really fast, but the bounce of the outlaw lunatic is even more against the sky! With a height of 213 centimeters, Nene leaped forward and jumped with all his strength, but he couldn't even touch the wrist of the outlaw!

Nene's supplementary defense basically did not play a substantial role in interference. Unfortunately, the outlaws did not make a goal. Camby protected the defensive rebound and passed Andre Miller... The real killer move of the Nuggets came——Athletics Brigade, defend and counterattack!

Anthony quickly went down to catch the ball, and scored two points with a flying dunk!

6 is better than 2!

Barkley, who was explaining the game, crazily cheered for Anthony's fast break catch and dunk. He couldn't help himself for a while, and shouted at Kenny Smith: "Kenny, I want to bet you!"
