Healing Basketball

Chapter 405

In the face of the media, he made no secret of his fighting spirit and released a blocking declaration.

Facing his teammates, he was strict and cold, and high-pressure deterrence, which made his teammates more motivated. In the next game, he boasted that he would win.

Facing opponents...

"Nice to meet you, I'm Melo, Jess' brother."

Bel is polite.

"Hi, I'm Annie..."

Anne-Hathaway and Anthony said hello and got to know each other.

Anne Hathaway feels that the "personality" in the sports world is more exaggerated than in the entertainment circle. The legendary leader of the Denver mine gang is a gangster, but he turned out to be so polite.

The same goes for her warden, who would have thought that this guy has a great dream-to take his sister to drive an excavator to play with Elegant?
"Melo, you said you would come when you came, why are you bringing so many gifts... Hello, Nene, long time no see."

Liu Xiu took the gift stacked higher than Nene from the hands of the ruthless porter Nene.

Anthony couldn't keep his yuppie temperament, and roared: "If you don't want it, just give it back to me, it cost me tens of thousands!"

Liu Xiu decisively carried the gift and walked into the house. Anne Hathaway smiled and invited the two guests into the living room.

The two nannies came to the living room with the two children in their arms, and Anne Hathaway introduced the names of the two children.

Anthony is very envious, so amazing, two children at once!
He was going to go back and work harder to have a baby. On Christmas more than a month ago, he was not defeated by the Christmas war, and he did not become a loser. He proposed to his superstar girlfriend Lara Vazquez successfully...he won!His fiancée's position is bigger!A real big star!

It's just about having a baby, he feels he will lose.

He actually checked, and the probability of having twins is about 1.1%.

The two children stayed in the living room for a while and started to quarrel, looking very excited. Liu Xiu knew that the two children were sleepy, so she asked the nanny to take the children to bed.

Anthony asked in surprise: "So the child is so excited that he is sleepy?"

Anne-Hathaway smiled and said: "My mother took care of the child before. I didn't know that the child suddenly became excited because he was sleepy. I thought it was Jess who didn't want to coax the child. I complained to my mother about it. My mother said When I was a child, I also made trouble when I was sleepy, and I didn’t know that children can’t sleep by themselves.”

Knowledge points, Anthony hasten to remember, you may have to take the test in the future.

After memorizing it, Anthony asked, "Jess, where are your parents? Why aren't they here?"

"Prepare dinner in the house over there, let's go too..."

Anthony heard the words and went to look through the pile of gifts.

"This is for Jaylen, this is for Anna, this is for you, Annie..."

After Anthony divided out several gifts, Nene, the ruthless porter, re-stacked the presents and carried them.

I have known Liu Xiu for a long time, and Anthony knows some Chinese habits. When he came to Liu Xiu’s home this time, he knew that Liu Xiu’s parents who had been living in China were here, and he paid special attention to respecting the elders. It will feel that everything is wrong, and it will affect the family relationship. The kind of shouting once will affect the whole life. Anthony attaches great importance to this, but he did not ask his teammates to do the same, but he has to pay attention to it. These teammates are outspoken. So he chose a way - let Nene be a ruthless porter.

But this guy, Nene, not only plays wildly and is a little brainless, but also a bit stubborn in life, and now he has played the role of a porter, without saying a word...

After driving to the house of Liu Xiu's uncle and aunt, Anthony started another wave of goodwill journey.

The first is to give gifts.

Liu Xiu's uncle, aunt, and sister are okay, they have known each other for a long time, and Anthony has a certain understanding of their preferences.

Qing'er received a set of Lego excavator and was so happy that she flew up.

My aunt received a set of massage cushions, which are new high-tech products.

Uncle got a new razor, the one with a gold edge, which is more advanced than the one given by his nephew. He felt very "gratified", and he didn't struggle with the gift for a long time. In a few years, I guess I will collect all the high-end razors of various brands, and I only hope that they will release new products faster.

Liu Xiu's parents, Antony, didn't understand and didn't know what gift to give, so they chose a few expensive things.

Liu Xiu's mother took the gift away while saying, "If you come, why don't you bring a present?"

Anthony's communicative skills are full, which is different from James's communicative skills close to businessmen, and unlike Kobe's rich second generation who received elite education, Anthony is more social.

Anthony Liu Xiu's mother's short nagging, Liu Xiu's father's coldness + understanding of the ball + elders' communication methods, Anthony can chat together very well. At this moment, he is a good boy in the eyes of the elders, although he is a bit dark , but looks quite in line with Chinese aesthetics, mainly because he can speak nice words, which is very pleasing to the elders.

Anthony arrived at Liu Xiu's house at 5 o'clock in the evening, and left after dinner at 7 o'clock. He was able to meet Liu Xiu's parents for the first time without being cold during the whole process.

It's Qing'er who has been working hard as a translator.

No, it's not a job, it's not paid, it's not considered illegal employment of child labor, it's a test of Qing'er's translation ability!
The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't talk about things related to basketball.

Anthony came to Liu Xiu's house because he wanted to get to know Liu Xiu's family members. He was always curious about what kind of family could cultivate a talent like Liu Xiu, but he did not expect that Liu Xiu's mother was very hospitable and Liu Xiu's father was the kind of person who looked at Liu Xiu. The type who looks strict, but will secretly watch his son's game in private.

Then, Liu Xiu's uncharacteristic personality is really self-taught.

……

……

It's the last day of the month again, January 1, the game day for the Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets at home.

8 consecutive victories, the team momentum is like a rainbow, the Trail Blazers coaching staff is of course very happy.

only……

"That brat is messing up again!" The vice president was so angry that his teeth were itching, and when he talked about renewing the contract in advance next year, he must use the boss's money to hit him hard and let him know how good it is!
The coach is quite cheerful: "No problem, Kevin, in fact, this is also a good thing, so that the motivation of the players can continue. In the middle of the season, we need to pay attention to the motivation of the players in addition to injuries."

The vice president calmed down a bit: "That's right, we can't suddenly collapse like last year's Kings, and the mentality of our young players in the team may be affected. I think the most important thing about the collapse of the Kings last year is psychological. Question...Morris, do you think I am too worried now, I always worry so much. "

Hollins responded: "Boss, it's right to have a lot of worries. Our team was able to rush with eyes closed last year without fear. I worked for the Grizzlies last year, and the Grizzlies are like this. Faced with all difficulties, we just think about it." hard steel.

But after we played a very successful season, we need to have such concerns. "

Coach: "Lionel is right!"

Hollins ignored the coach: "Look at the Grizzlies, their young stars have also made great progress. At present, Gasol is stronger than Zach, and the lineup of role players is also very strong, but their season The strategy is to be stable. They want to use Gasol and role players to attract an outside star to join. I heard that their goal is Ray Allen, so their style of play has not changed, but their style of play has been taken by the top players. The team has a thorough understanding, and this season's performance has dropped a lot compared to last season.

But when we have concerns, we will focus on our bad points, make active adjustments, prevent the warden from taking over, and introduce gloves that are solid and stable in play to help the warden adjust his style of play and tactical structure... ...that's what keeps us in the top tier in the competitive West!
And boss, we will worry about these things, and we will pay attention to details that we did not pay attention to before. This is the embodiment of our self-confidence after we become stronger. You have done a great job. "

The work experience of the vice president is still not rich enough, and he has only been an assistant coach for a few years. With his excellent draft vision, steady and down-to-earth personality, and extremely strong sense of responsibility...and other advantages, he won the appreciation of the boss and became the second leader of the team. With little operational experience, most of the work still depends on general manager John Nash.

At this time, the chief teaching assistant who has been teaching assistants, consultants, and assistants for many years is more experienced.

The vice president learned something again today.

After Hollins finished speaking, the coach responded forcefully: "My thoughts are the same as Lionel's!"

Neither the vice president nor the chief assistant coach wants to talk to the coach who is becoming more and more serious.

The disgusted eyes of colleagues deeply hurt the coach's heart.

He used his brain and said: "The warden's doing things will definitely irritate the opponent, but in fact, it is not a big problem. We have already won 8 consecutive victories. As long as we continue to win, every opponent will have a strong desire to defeat us. , just a little bit more strongly.

At this time, it is not easy for us to propose a clear goal to stimulate the motivation of the players. This goal of winning 10 consecutive victories is actually a good thing for us..."

The coach's words, the vice president and the assistant coaches think it makes sense, but it feels like they haven't said anything. However, they were somewhat resentful and angry, but now they have the same goal - 10 consecutive victories, it's set!

……

Yesterday's rest day, the team did not arrange training, but some players came to practice in the afternoon, and three young players from the outlaws, Zach Randolph and Kwame Brown came to practice.

At that time, they felt some irritability from some management or coaches. It is not necessary to guess that it must have been caused by the rhetoric of "10 consecutive victories".

But today, the players didn’t feel that kind of pressure and irritability. They felt that the goal of the coaching staff was the same as theirs, they were as excited as them, and they were of one mind. Good time.

Not only the coaching staff and players are single-minded, but also the Trail Blazers fans!
At 7:40 p.m., at the Rose Garden Arena, the player appearance ceremony began. When Anthony walked out of the court in an away game, he encountered possibly the most violent boos since he entered the NBA!
Anthony: Meow meow?I and your warden are brothers!
