Healing Basketball

Chapter 249 249. The Node of Times Change

Liu Xiu looked at the unlucky younger sister who was cheering around a mini motorcycle in the yard, -_-||···
My sister's hobbies are all so hardcore?
Excavators, motorcycles...

Liu Xiu asked, "Qing'er, do you still like mechas?"

Qing'er exclaimed: "How do you know! Did you secretly peek at me and Gundam?"

"Are you talking about tongue twisters?" Liu Xiu's mouth twitched.

Well, you have to add Gundam... but don't worry about the 10th birthday gift in a few months.

Get Bill Duffy to help you customize a Gundam Armor.

But the unlucky sister is growing up every year, and she will definitely not be able to wear it after a while... Then just give one or two sets every year.

Plan pass!
As for the mini motorcycle in front of him, it was a gift from Randolph.

Last summer, Randolph missed Qing'er's birthday and didn't give her a gift... In fact, they didn't even know each other at the time. Liu Xiu didn't take it seriously when Randolph said he wanted to make up a gift.

But the butcher is a decent person, and he will do what he says. He saw a suitable gift a while ago and ordered a mini motorcycle.

Such arrogance is because in April, Randolph and the Trail Blazers completed their contract extension.

靠着进入4月份时场均19+10+2的表现，开拓者队给兰多夫提供了一份4年顶薪续约。

起薪是规则下最高的工资帽25%的1067万美刀、4年合计5100万美刀的顶薪合同，2005年生效，2009年结束。

The butcher was rich, so Liu Xiu didn't refuse this small gift, and it would be fine to return the gift to the butcher's son in the future.

But, how on earth can a butcher connect an excavator and a motorcycle?
……

After playing G2, the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies got two days off.

This morning, the Grizzlies left Portland like a refugee.

The Trail Blazers were not in such a hurry. They played the game yesterday, and it was still a fierce battle. The whole team rested this morning, and the management arranged for an evening flight to Memphis.

But Randolph arrived at Liu Xiu's house early. On the one hand, the customized motorcycle arrived, and he drove it to Qing'er in a pickup truck.

On the other hand, there are two individual awards to be announced today-the Most Improved Award and the Best Sixth Man.

Around noon, Little Flying Squirrel and outlaws also came to Liu Xiu's home.

The former is also for the announcement of the awards.

Although these two awards are not highly valued, they are personal awards, and Butcher and Little Flying Squirrel both care about them.

Butcher is in the third grade, and he won the player of the week award once in the regular season this season.

Little Flying Squirrel only had one rookie of the year and one first-team rookie, nothing else, and never won the player of the week award.

Little Flying Squirrel is also very miserable. At his peak, he was the best of the week and best of the month regardless of the east and west. In March 1997, he averaged 3 points and 17 assists in 29.3 games, pulling his scoring average to 8+ in one fell swoop. , The Raptors had a pretty good record of 20 wins and 11 losses that month. They were the number one favorite in the Eastern Conference that month, but the Jazz had 6 wins and 14 loss that month.

The worst thing is that that month, Little Momonga didn't even have the chance to win the best of the week. Malone twice, Kevin Johnson and Ewing broke out for a week each.

Both of them attach great importance to the opportunity to win the award for the first season of their careers.

Especially for Little Flying Squirrel, it is really hard to say whether he will have the chance to fight for individual awards in the future.

The extrajudicial lunatic came to Liu Xiu's house, but he heard that there was hot pot to eat, so he ran over.

At lunch time, when the warden brought out the large intestines and loin slices, the butcher and little flying squirrel could no longer hold back. When the warden brought out the yellow throat and hairy belly, the butcher and little flying squirrel were still in a mess .

In the end, the two collapsed before the warden brought out the pig's brain!
Watching the warden, the warden's sister, and the outlaws eating their brains, the butcher and little flying mouse fled to sit in the living room, staring at the TV, ready to leave after watching the announcement of the awards.

Three devils!

At 12:[-] noon, the trio of devils who were enjoying the hot pot heard the cheers of the butcher coming from the living room, and after a while, the cheers of the little flying squirrel came again.

"Wow, they all won prizes!" The outlaw fanatic was very envious.

Qing Er responded: "Butcher played 79 games and averaged 18.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The three statistics have more than doubled compared to last season. The Most Improved Award must be him.

The Flying Squirrel’s data is a little bit worse than Jamison’s, but our record is better than that of the Mavericks. The best sixth man is an award that has a great influence on the strength of the team. The previous best sixth man is almost always a substitute for a strong team. "

Liu Xiu: "Qing'er is so smart!"

Qing'er raised her head, very proud.

The outlaw lunatic is silent, the little loli is a little embarrassed, but this little loli knows more than a professional player like him!
……

……

The Butcher and Little Flying Squirrel are happy to win double prizes!

这是大概率事件，上赛季最佳第六人是西部第二国王队的鲍比-杰克逊、01-02赛季是东部第二活塞队的科利斯-威廉姆斯、00-01赛季是东部第一76人队的阿隆-麦基……

When they gathered at the airport in the evening, teammates sent congratulations to the two of them.

After getting on the plane, Randolph sat next to Liu Xiu in the corner, and asked, "Warden, what other awards are we likely to win? Your best rookie, what else?"

Liu Xiu thought for a while, and replied, "It seems that only the best coach and the best team are possible."

"The best team..." Randolph said with his eyes shining, squinted his eyes and shook his head, and asked, "Who is the best coach's competitor?"

"Coincidentally, it's Hubie Brown, the head coach of our opponent, the Grizzlies."

"That old man on the other side? Warden, we'll overthrow them the day after tomorrow and sweep them 3-0!"

"The playoffs are already 7 games and 4 wins!"

"Yeah, McGrady lost a 3-1 lead last year...

We lead 2-0. If those media voted the best coach for the old man opposite, it would be too irritating. "

"Yes, but if they give the award to the head coach of the Grizzlies, we may collectively be angry and beat the Grizzlies... Ahem, if the award goes to our head coach, we will definitely boost morale and beat the Grizzlies Team."

Liu Xiu vaguely sensed a strong murderous intent, and immediately changed the subject.

Looking sideways, sure enough, the coach came nearby for some reason.

As for murderous aura...healing value +99...

……

The time has come to April 4, and there is no NBA game today.

According to the usual practice, today the league officials held a meeting with the owners of each team to vote on some proposals.

Most years nothing major, but this time, there was a very controversial proposal to be voted on - banning 'handcheck'.

Not incremental changes, but outright bans.

The reason is that Pat Riley's iron-blooded warfare has reached its peak after nearly a decade of development.

As the saying goes, prosperity must decline, and now it has reached its peak, and the alliance wants it to decline.

However, even the owners of the top defensive teams such as the Pistons, Pacers, and Spurs voted in favor.

There are also some things that have a great impact on the NBA but the voting is just a formality-the addition of the Charlotte Bobcats, the new division of next season, the change of the division ownership of the Hornets,
The number of NBA teams has officially increased to 30. The Bobcats have joined the Eastern Conference and the Hornets have been assigned to the Western Conference. There will be 15 teams in each of the Eastern and Western Conferences next season. The Bobcats will participate in this year's draft lottery.

The original four major divisions: Pacific Division, Central Division, Central Division, and Atlantic Division, have become six major divisions from today: Northwest Division, Pacific Division, Southwest Division, Southeast Division, Central Division, and Atlantic Division.

These few things were unanimously approved, but there was a coalition proposal that was opposed.

The proposal, aimed at restricting team owners from giving gifts to players, was passed by a 28-1 vote.

……

At the end of the day's training, Liu Xiu and his teammates returned to the hotel in the bus, feeling the enthusiasm of Memphis basketball fans.

After coming to this city a few times, Liu Xiu knew why the Grizzlies moved here.

The support of local fans for local teams is extremely high!
For New York fans, they have definitely turned their backs at this time.

Knowing that the 'NO-handcheck' was unanimously passed, Liu Xiu was not surprised.

步行者队、马刺队、活塞队三支球队场均失分低于85分；有10支球队场均失分低于90分；有6支球队场均得分低于90分……这些，对这赛季常规赛的比赛观赏性带来了巨大的打击。

As the favorite and defending champion of the Western Conference, the Spurs only ranked [-]th in the league in the final number of live broadcasts in the regular season this season.

As for the other proposals, the fact that the owner of their team voted against it aroused his interest, and he couldn't stop laughing after seeing it.

The Blazers boss objected to the league's increased restrictions on the team's gifts to players, which also aroused heated discussions among fans.

It seems that as long as anything has something to do with the Trail Blazers, the style of painting is always weird...

……

On April 4, the third game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies arrived.

At noon, the league announced the best coach award.

Unfortunately for the warden and the butcher, there was no accident-prison team coach Maurice Cheeks won the best coach award in the regular season this season with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses in the third place in the league!

The defeated opponents were Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown, Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders, and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

Turning regret into motivation, Liu Xiu knocked the sandbag into the air today.

Seeing this scene, the coach, who had just won the award and couldn't hide his gums, always felt that the warden took the sandbag as if he was hitting...

The day's preparation time passed quickly. In the evening, the third game of the series between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies was about to start at the FedEx Arena in Memphis.

After entering the court, the Trail Blazers players felt from the Grizzlies players the desire to win that was gone after the second game!

Back home, the Grizzlies not only regained their desire to win, but also finally had the raging anger that a team that lost by 58 points should have!
