Liu Xiu responded immediately.

Peyton II was so excited when he heard the news, he opened his backpack and took out a camera poster to ask for his autograph and group photo.

The other three children followed suit.

Liu Xiu originally thought that Monique was just saying that, but he didn't expect that the children of Payton's family were really his fans.

"After Gali joined the Blazers team, these children watched your game and fascinated you. Gali II also said that he would be renamed Jess.

"Oh, damn, what are you talking about, Monique, go away, our house hasn't been tidied yet, if we don't go back and make the bed, we will have to sleep on the floor tonight..."

When dealing with people, Peyton is quite normal.

But when it comes to these things, Payton's bad temper came again, and he left on the spot.

For such a situation, Liu Xiu said that it is okay to come a few more times.

As a superstar, his son's favorite player is not him... The 99 full healing value that the glove contributed to the warden is a good illustration of how much Payton attaches importance to this matter and how much grief and indignation it is.

Anne Hathaway was helping her uncle and aunt to entertain guests, and came over after she was busy, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with the Peytons.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Payton family of six left the party.

Anne Hathaway held back a smile: "Jess, why are you and Payton quarreling again?"

What kind of player Payton is, Anne Hathaway also understood after watching the game, but her man's mouth is obviously more lethal. When arguing with Payton, her man rarely loses, thinking of this she Can't help but want to laugh every time.

Liu Xiu handed the recommendation letter to Anne Hathaway, and talked about the situation just now: "So so, so so."

"So it's like this, Jess, you're going to train with Peyton II in the future? No, Jess, you're going to start training hard?" The more Anne Hathaway said, the more she was surprised, and she still had a little expectation.

She doesn't care whether Liu Xiu works hard or not. Liu Xiu has already performed very well in her field of work. She hopes that Liu Xiu will live a happier life, but she also looks forward to what the legendary "hardworking warden" will be like. exist.

"Ahem, Payton probably doesn't really intend to ask me to teach his son how to play. He is a superstar himself, one of the most famous point guards in NBA history, so why should I teach his son how to play?" Liu Xiu resolutely ignored the topic of hard training.

Hearing this, Anne Hathaway thought for a while, and her doubts gathered into one word: "Anne?"

Liu Xiuying said: "They don't expect me to teach Payton II, they just hope that he can become my friend. Payton II is now 13 years old. If he has a chance to enter the NBA, I will definitely still be playing. Where I can help.

If our children want to play basketball in the future, Payton II has the opportunity to play in the NBA. When our son enters the NBA, he should still be playing, and maybe he can help us. "

"So that's the same as my mother's situation. She has a singing student who is the granddaughter of her former teacher..."

……

After a day's rest, Liu Xiu followed the team to leave Portland, followed by 4 consecutive away.

On the plane, the expressions and conversations of the Trail Blazers players showed different emotions.

Butcher: "It's been a long time since I went to an away game. It's really cool, Damon. Have you ever been to that store in Los Angeles? It's just there..."

Little Flying Squirrel: "That one, it's so-so... Hey, I've been teammates with the Warden for too long, and I feel that it's boring to go packing. Last year, the Warden and I went to a bar in Los Angeles, and there were female stars who had acted in TV dramas. Pick up a conversation... Speaking of which, Warden, you haven't hung out with us for a long time."

"I'm not free. I'm going to call my daughter tonight."

"Your daughter is less than 1 year old, what can you tell her on the phone?"

Little Flying Squirrel really wanted to spit wildly.

However, Little Flying Squirrel really didn't find it strange to see Liu Xiu becoming a family-loving man.

Having known each other for so long, Little Flying Squirrel knows that although the warden of their prison team has a very eccentric personality, he is actually a very principled person.

Peyton interjected at this time: "I also really want to take care of my daughter at home, but it's fine to come out. My three sons are so annoying. My wife only knows to worry about the three of them all day long."

Liu Xiu felt the same way: "Yes, yes, yes, my parents, Annie, and even my sister are Jay Jay Jay all the time, so thinking about it, it's good to come out to play away games occasionally.

Anyway, the 4 consecutive passengers will be finished at 5:[-] this time. Counting the car travel distance, everything will be done in a week, so let’s treat it as a golden week trip! "

Liu Xiu's last words came out, and many people on the plane were cured.

After contributing a wave of healing value, Payton held back his face: "That's right, it's just a little tired for 5 times in 4 days."

Liu Xiu asked in surprise, "Are you tired four times in five days?"

As soon as these words came out, another group of teammates were healed.

Can't talk anymore!The key is that the recovery ability of this product is really strong! 5 days and 4 battles are really ignored by others...

Peyton: Miss flight attendant, do you dare to open the cabin door?If you dare to drive, I dare to dance!

……

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Liu Xiu received the player of the week trophy from the league.

When the Trail Blazers were on the plane in the morning, the league announced last week's Player of the Week awards.

Carter won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award, and Liu Xiu won the Western Conference Player of the Week award.

After a night's rest, on February 2, the Trail Blazers came to the Staples Center to challenge the Clippers away.

Before the game started, Liu Xiu received a message from the staff.

A game he was following was over.

湖人队客场挑战小牛队，科比27投16中，其中三分球4中2，加上14中12的罚球，爆砍46分8板8助攻，率领湖人队以108比102击败小牛队。

Give volute a thumbs up!
Great God!
When they played against the Mavericks the day before yesterday, Liu Xiu discovered the flaws of the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' singles flow offense + high-speed rotation defense is very powerful, but when encountering a player who is strong in singles, the Mavericks' lack of single defense will be clearly exposed.

Daniels, Josh Howard, and Dampier all have excellent to first-class single defense, but none of them are top-notch.

When Warden scored 10+ points in the third quarter and Flying Squirrel scored 10+ points in the last quarter, he had a chance to come back. It's a pity that he and Flying Squirrel soared, and they might not be better than Terry + Novi. ski.

But when it comes to the volute, the Mavericks are like a cash machine.

Liu Xiu suddenly felt that the Mavericks could sweep the Lakers in 2011. In addition to the silver horn king, there is another important condition. It may be Kidd in the low post defense and Marion in the perimeter defense.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Clippers started.

Liu Xiu copied Little Flying Squirrel and Maggette, and the violent defensive counterattack started.

The Trail Blazers' style of play tonight continued the bloody battles of the past two games.

At this stage, physical exertion has basically reached the peak in the middle of the season. It is not a bad thing for the Trail Blazers to meet the Spurs at this stage and start the iron-blooded mode.

In the first quarter, relying on the 7 points and 4 assists of Little Momonga, who came off the bench early, the Trail Blazers and Clippers scored 19 to 20, and entered the second quarter behind by 1 point.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers had an advantage. Liu Xiu scored 12 points in a single quarter, Raheem scored 7 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, and the two led the team to score 28 points in a single quarter. The defense of Kwame Brown, Varejao, and McDyess and others once again limited the Clippers' scoring. The Clippers only scored 21 points in a single quarter.

47 to 41, the Trail Blazers went ahead by 6 points and entered the intermission.

Mike Dunleavy's on-the-spot adjustments were still very powerful. In the third quarter, the Clippers played a very brilliant performance. Livingston's high-post support and card dealing performance was amazing, with 4 assists in a single quarter, helping Maggette, Jarry Odd and the two scored 8 points each, and the Clippers took this to score 25 points in a single quarter.

But in this quarter, the Trail Blazers maintained their offensive efficiency in the slow-paced offensive and defensive battle that the Clippers tried their best to suppress.

Liu Xiu only made 4 of 1 in a single quarter, but relying on the 'overwhelming' inside kill bonus, he scored 6 free throws in a single quarter, and made 6 of 5 free throws. The goal he scored was a three-pointer, and he scored in a single quarter. 8 points.

Randolph's efficiency against Brand took off in this quarter, making all 4 shots, scoring 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The two joined hands to help the Blazers score 25 points in the third quarter and tie with the Clippers. They continued to maintain a 72-point lead 66 to 6.

At the end of the quarter, the Clippers played a bit chaotically. The efficiency of singles was good, but there was no cooperation. The touch developed in the third quarter was in vain, and they only scored 23 points in a single quarter.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu and Randolph stabilized their offense. Liu Xiu scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Randolph scored 3 offensive rebounds in a single quarter. Together, the two led the team to score 24 points in a single quarter.

最终，靠着刘秀26投12中拿到37分7板6助攻1抢断1盖帽、兰多夫15投8中拿到22分23板、小飞鼠的12分6助攻，开拓者队以96比89险胜快船队，避免了连败！
...

After defeating the Clippers, the Trail Blazers had no time to enjoy the joy of victory. They flew to Sacramento at noon the next day to catch up on sleep. At 7:30 in the evening, they ushered in the second back-to-back game within 24 hours.

In this game, Liu Xiu and Randolph continued the explosive state of the previous game, and even got better!

兰多夫今晚18投10中，外加7中5的罚球，爆砍25分16板5助攻。

Tonight, Liu Xiu copied Peja's "fixed-point attack" and Randolph's low post shot. He made a crazy performance of 23 of 13 shots. Among them, 4 of 3 three-pointers were very good, allowing Liu Xiu to shoot inside and outside. Combining shooting and shooting, Bo scored 11 free throws, all of which were made, scoring 40 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game.

But it's a pity that the two have a lot of points, but the two have a high conversion efficiency in passing the ball to each other, and the assists passed to others add up to only 3!Don't look at the 11 assists combined by the two, but 8 of them are passing each other to score, and the role of helping Payton or Raheem and others to organize the offense is minimal.

大家的进攻状态也是真的差，除了他们俩，没人得分上双，小飞鼠替补登场7中2拿到4分2助攻、佩顿首发5中1拿到3分3助攻……

国王队方面，肯尼-托马斯21分、毕比20分、佩贾22分、凯文-马丁20分，4人得分上双！
After trading for Doug Christie, the rookie guard Kevin Martin, who was drafted by the Kings at the end of the first round, got a lot of opportunities. Taking advantage of the Blazers' weak defense tonight, he broke out and hit a career high with 10 free throws in a single game, second only to Yu Liu Xiu made 11 free throws in a single game.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Trail Blazers 106 to 93!

Liu Xiu also entered a group of hackers tonight...

...

It is true that everyone's fate is different, and the tone of the media's reports is also completely different.

If others lose 40+ games in a single game, it means that the team lost and he didn't lose.

When it comes to him-good data but can't help the team win, teammates don't perform well, the warden will only cut data for nothing?
The tight schedule is still somewhat useful, which can alleviate the warden's dissatisfaction with public opinion.

On the afternoon of the second day after playing the Kings, the Trail Blazers returned to the Northwest Division and came to the icy and snowy Salt Lake City.

In a different city, I don’t have so many negative thoughts about what happened to my last opponent. After all, I just lost a game. This time I’m not as skilled as others, and I just want to win it back next time.

After a night's rest, on the second day, February 2, the first day of the second back-to-back game of the Trail Blazers' 10 days and 5 games arrived.

This time the Trail Blazers did not go to the visiting team's arena in the morning, but held a meeting in the hotel's conference room.

In the last two games of the first half of the season, there is no need for training. Resting for a while is more important than anything else. Just hold a meeting to study the opponent.

Okur and Boozer, this combination of insiders, is the focus of the Trail Blazers.

Boozer + Okur are perfect pick-and-roll inside twin towers. When Arroyo, the sharp pick-and-roll point guard, was there, as long as Kirilenko was not injured, the Jazz would have a marginal level in the Western Conference playoffs. strength.

So, the Jazz sent Arroyo to the Celtics...

The matter of fighting for chubby can't be ruined by an Arroyo.

Boozer is a very interesting player. He can't do anything on the defensive end. He just puts on a supplementary defense and assists in defense, but his rebound protection and low-post single defense are excellent, which happens to match up with Randolph's advantages.

And the two had grievances in college. It feels like Boozer specially practiced low-post defense against Randolph.

However, Randolph has been in excellent form recently, with a yuppie accuracy in the mid-range shot, and the Trail Blazers are very confident against Boozer who only defends in the low post.

And the pressure in the half is not great, the top three in the West have already stabilized in the half, last night, the Sonics suffered their 16th loss of the season, and their record became 33 wins and 16 losses.

After the Trail Blazers lost to the Kings, their record is 36 wins and 12 losses, and they will not fall out of the top three after losing all the next two games.

After the tactical meeting, the warden found the butcher and asked, "What's the matter, Zach, why aren't you excited about playing the Jazz?"

"You got the No. 5 All-Star vote, but I only got the No. [-] Western forward." Randolph said in a sour tone.

Liu Xiu suddenly realized: "No wonder you have been distracted all morning. I remembered that the list of substitutes will be announced today..."

This Liu Xiu has no choice, not to mention the number of votes compared with Double 21, compared with my brother Dong and Yinjiao King in the society, Randolph is even worse.

Randolph's strength, if he is a guard, he will be selected as an All-Star substitute in the West.

一般来说，7个替补名额，是1中锋、2前锋、2后卫、2自由人，自由人一般是后卫1个、前场1个。

This year's backup guard candidates in the West, Nash and Ray Allen are sure to lock a spot.

第3个后卫，候选人是场均15分4板4助攻的吉诺比利、场均16分6助攻的帕克、场均13分5.4助攻的特里、场均13.6分7助攻的安德烈-米勒、场均19.6分7助攻的毕比、场均13分4.4助攻的达蒙-斯塔德迈尔这几人中选。

It's not that they are not good enough, it's just that compared with the forward competition in the West...

直接对比东部后卫就更惨烈了，场均24分的里德、场均21分6板7助攻的弗朗西斯，入选全明星的概率都不大，场均21分8助攻的马布里一丁点儿入选全明星的可能性都没有。

Iverson and Tracy McGrady occupy the starting positions of the two guards, and the back line substitutes Kidd, Wade, and Arenas also occupy the positions.

The level of competition for forwards in the West is similar to that of guards in the East. Randolph's average performance of 18.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game may not be enough.

Liu Xiu can only help Randolph to pray to the Guan Zizai Bodhisattva in the temple above his hometown mountain, hoping that the old man will help to bless Randolph to be selected as the All-Star substitute list.

I just don’t know if Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can bless him to Portland, which is across the Pacific Ocean, and there is still a foreigner on the opposite side. Is there any international law in the fairy world?Are there any regulations in this regard?

Wait, Liu Xiu remembered that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the temple on the mountain above his hometown is the Avalokitesvara of Sending Children...

...

At noon, the Trail Blazers players gathered in Randolph's room to watch the NBA's official All-Star special.

Everyone is actually very concerned about this.

If a team has two All-Stars, it is also a very refreshing thing for teammates.

And playing this kind of thing is very special. Sometimes it is really more willing to assist a recognized All-Star player than to assist an unknown player.

After the show started, the invitation list for the Shooting Star Challenge was first announced.

When Liu Xiu saw that Luke Wharton invited a magician instead of Wharton, he was not interested.

No gimmicks, no Chris Bosh, this game is meaningless.

Immediately afterwards, the All-Star substitute list was announced, starting with the visiting Eastern Conference team.

Just as there is no suspense about the starting list in the West, there is no suspense about the bench list in the East.

3 guards, Kidd, Wade, Arenas, 1 center, Ben Wallace, 3 forwards, James, Artest, Rasheed Wallace.

Immediately after the announcement of the Western All-Star substitute, the vice president who hosted the show, Stu Jackson, came as usual, first the Western defender.

Nash, Ray Allen, the two steadily won the All-Star bench.

Amare Stoudemire was selected as a substitute for the Western Conference center.

There is no problem with this. Stoudemire said that his style of play is definitely not a center style of play, but he has been the starting center position of the Suns for a long time.

However, seeing that Stoudemire was selected as an All-Star substitute as a center, rather than as a forward when the fans voted, the Trail Blazers players were refreshed-this means that the butcher has one less competitor!
Liu Xiu felt the pressure for Yao Ming's second team competition. Now it's a power forward era, and the league is pushing for the Suns. In order to let Stoudemire get more honors, the league is really likely to choose a substitute for the All-Stars like the coaches Vote so, put Stoudemire at center.

Then Yao Ming will be at a disadvantage, the difference in record is quite large...

Forget about this, Liu Xiu put away her distracting thoughts and continued to watch the live broadcast.

For the Western Conference forward spot, the first name Stu Jackson pronounced was - Dirk Nowitzki.

A superstar who is definitely selected, Nowitzki may even be selected for the first team for the first time in his career this season.

The second name - Sean - Marion.

This is also a name without any suspense. Stoudemire can't compete with Marion. In addition to scoring lower than Stoudemire, Marion leads Stoudemire in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. With a performance of 20.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1.6 blocks, coupled with the league's first record, it is stable to compete with the power forwards for the best team.

The league put Stoudemire in the center position. The fear is that the coaches of each team will vote for Marion as a forward and a free agent, and will not vote for Stoudemire, who is also a forward. Tadmire, people think he took off with Nash, and Marion was already an All-Star before Nash came.

Five fixed-position substitutes have been announced, and then there are two free agents.

Randolph's room fell silent, only the sound of Randolph's heavy breathing remained.

After the highlights of Marion's gorilla violence were played, Stu Jackson reappeared on the TV screen.

Stu Jackson imitated Stern's tone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, for the 2005 Denver All-Star Weekend, the Western Conference forward lineup is...Zach Randolph from the Trail Blazers!"

"Mom, Fake! Finally it's my turn! Fake, Fake, Fake..."

Randolph collapsed with excitement, mouth full of foul language.

No one is surprised. Liu Xiu, Raheem, and McDyess are the only ones here who can be called cultural people. When interviewed by reporters, they usually only pay attention to their speech, and of course they gradually get better because of it.

But when encountering such an exciting event, it is better to scold the street or scold the street.

When everyone congratulated Randolph one after another, a scream came.

Everyone followed the prestige and looked over... lowered their heads, and saw the panic-stricken little flying squirrel.

What's wrong with this guy?
Following the line of sight of Little Flying Squirrel, what was shown on the TV screen was the highlights of Little Flying Squirrel's crazy three-pointers against the Hornets, and the scene of his confrontation with Novus not long ago...

Liu Xiu, who had seen the world, was the first to react: "Fuck... No, Fake, Little Flying Squirrel, what's going on?"

Little Flying Squirrel had a dazed expression: "I seem to be selected as an All-Star."

After Little Momonga congratulated Randolph just now, he vaguely heard his name from the noisy voices of his teammates, turned to look at the TV, and his highlights were really playing!
Soon, the highlights of Little Flying Squirrel were also released, and the East and West All-Star lineups were posted.

East, starters: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Hill, O'Neal, substitutes: Kidd, Wade, Arenas, James, Artest, Ben Wallace.

West, starters: Liu Xiu, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming, substitutes: Nash, Ray Allen, Flying Squirrel, Nowitzki, Marion, Randolph, Bully.

The teammates are also confused!

All All-Star stats are posted below the photo.

小飞鼠的最磕碜，场均13分2板4助攻1抢断……也就41.2%的中投命中率、45%的长两分命中率、38.6%的三分命中率、91.5%的罚球命中率看着拉风。

Liu Xiu reacted and said excitedly: "Butcher, Little Flying Squirrel, do we have the Big Three just like the Suns?"

Raheem and McDyess, two rational teammates, and Payton, an experienced veteran, also came back to his senses. Hearing Liu Xiu's question, they had question marks in their heads: Is the point here?

Who knew that Randolph pounded his left fist on the palm of his right hand and said, "Yes, I am the strongest insider of our team!"

Liu Xiu then said: "I am the strongest perimeter player in our team!"

Little Flying Squirrel suddenly realized, and immediately said: "I am the strongest substitute in the world!"

Warden + Butcher: 屮!The pattern is small!

Forget it, bear with it this time.

The three came together tacitly and folded their hands: "We are the Big Three!"

The teammates are in a mess: Shouldn't they be shocked why the little flying mouse can be selected as an All-Star?Why are you so proud?Could it be that...that's why they can be selected as All-Stars and we can't be selected?

……

……

Little Flying Squirrel was selected to the Western Conference All-Star bench lineup, which became the hottest news on the day when the bench list was announced.

There are rumors that after the coaches of each team voted for the backup of the guards of the Eastern team, they really felt that the backup of the guards of the Western Conference was not enough, and finally chose the most impressive one recently-the king of scoring in a single game as a substitute, Flying Squirrel.

There is no exact source for this news, it just spread among the fans, and Little Flying Squirrel also got the nickname of 'Lucky Little Mouse'.

Liu Xiu thought of Korver, who was selected as an All-Star substitute in the 14-15 season in the original time and space. The situation of Little Flying Squirrel is probably similar this time.

That is to say, in the west where the guard line is relatively weak, if it is in the east, the little flying mouse will not be able to enter the bench if he scores 55 points or 65 points.

No matter what the coaches thought when they voted, it was the first time in their career that Little Flying Squirrel was selected as an All-Star, when he was a substitute at the age of 31!
In the evening, when the Trail Blazers came to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away, the team played crazily after sweeping away their previous mental exhaustion!
In fact, at this time, the players of each team, except for Iverson, Kobe, and Garnett, have similar physical consumption. If you can see the obvious physical gap, it is more related to psychology.

Like playing in the Spurs, with Duncan giving his teammates confidence, the mental fatigue will be much less; but in this season's Timberwolves, a team that has stars, ambitions, and championship expectations but may not even make it to the playoffs Playing ball will be extra mentally tiring.

Tonight, the Trail Blazers played the momentum they had during their 10-game winning streak. Zach Randolph and Flying Squirrel played extraordinarily hard and played very well.

兰多夫18投10中，加上14中12的罚球，单场拿到32分；小飞鼠17投8中，其中三分球9中3，加上10中9的罚球，单场拿到28分。

Liu Xiu played a good supporting role tonight. He only succeeded in 6 shots, 6 of 3 shots, and 7 of 5 free throws. He scored 11 points, but he still had 13 rebounds and 12 assists!

With 11 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals, Liu Xiu used his two All-Star teammates to make crazy shots tonight. Before the end of the third quarter, he had already achieved a triple-double.

On the Jazz side, Kirilenko didn't play again tonight. It is estimated that the competition for the best defensive player is getting more and more difficult. The absentee ratio is close to half...

In the end, relying on the runaway of the three All-Stars, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Jazz 111 to 89, raising their record to 37 wins and 12 losses!
