Chapter 572. 572. The Targeted Warden Position (6000 words)
Liu Xiu didn't expect that the game of abuse of guns would become the last group activity of the 05 remaining members of the 11 Trail Blazers team.

The next day, on the morning of November 11th, the league officially passed the deal, leaving only Varejao and Delfino.

After the two bid farewell to their teammates, they left the hotel and went to the airport together. The boss informed them to use the 'Rose Bay Prison' to send them away.

They often bicker over football matters. After all, they are from Brazil and Argentina, the king-level football countries. This time they were traded away together, but they went to different teams. Both of them are quite reluctant.

They often quarrel because of football, and they always need to find information about their favorite football players and teams to attack each other. Over time, they know more about each other's favorite stars and teams than each other, and gradually become confidants .

Being traded, they actually had a hunch that their playing time this season was more than their current strength should have.

Varejao was sent to the Rockets by the Trail Blazers in exchange for DeShawn Stevenson of the Magic. He was quite satisfied with this new club. In order to get him, the other party sent Joe Smith away. Fei learned that the new club has the idea of ​​training him to be the inside defensive gate next to the talented high school student Bynum, and he actually got a better development opportunity.

当然，场均出场17分钟拿到6.4分4.9板0.9盖帽的他单换24岁的史蒂文森有点困难，所以还搭上了德尔菲诺。

Compared with Varejao's potential to become a first-class player, Delfino is inferior. He averaged 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 0.9 minutes per game, and was asked to leave by the Magic.

The Trail Blazers used these two players in exchange for Deshaun Stevenson and also got the Rockets' second-round pick in 06.

The Magic sent Deshaun Stevenson to the Trail Blazers for Carlos Delfino, the Rockets to the Bucks' 2006 first-round pick, Joe Smith, and David Wesley has a garbage contract of more than $500 million this season left.

The Rockets sent two draft picks and two players in exchange for Varejao.

After the transaction details were announced, the Rockets' operations blinded people's eyes.

Joe Smith, a high-quality mid-level contract, the Magic earned it.

David Wesley is useless for the Rockets. They snatched Alston, the streetball king who is suitable for selling tickets, from the free market for 800 million in two years. There is no place for David Wesley, but for the For the Magic, they have a reliable backup point guard, although the salary is higher.

Moreover, the Magic relied on the salary space to eat more than 1000 million U.S. dollars in annual salary, and also got a first-round pick from the Rockets as compensation, making a lot of money.

It is said that the owner of the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen, also wants to take the contract. Unfortunately, their salary space has long been gone, and they can only watch a high-quality middle-level power forward like Joe Smith go to other teams.

Careful netizens found that the Rockets chose this deal for only one purpose-the total salary has been reduced by 1022 million dollars, and now the total salary is only 3792 million dollars, ranking second to last in the league, and only the Bobcats with more than 3300 million dollars Salary is lower than them.

However, although the Rockets traded like this, although it was blinding, it was not surprising.

By sending away Francis and Yao Ming, the Rockets now have a lot of intermediate assets, mostly positive assets, like Desmond Mason, Darius Miles, Danny Granger...etc, the most The main thing is that they have a lot of draft picks in the future!
The new head star Richard Hamilton averaged 20+ per game, and the core Andrew Bynum to be cultivated has outstanding talent, but the age difference between the two is too far, so Richard Hamilton is also on the Rockets' trading shelf.

What the Rockets worry about now is that there are too many high-quality assets. If they want to trade other teams, they have to lower the price. It is their top priority to exchange for some real and cheap long-term assets.

There are rumors that the Rockets will send Joe Smith away for the draft pick, because Bynum, a talented high school student, will be led astray by Joe Smith.

The Trail Blazers received good reviews for this deal. They all knew they were going to trade, and they all knew the direction they wanted to strengthen. Thinking that they actually brought in the Rockets who took advantage of them, they successfully completed the supplement of forward and defensive players.

But then the media broke the news that Deshaun Stevenson was just the Blazers' backup choice, and the Raptors' Maurice Peterson and Celtics' Ryan Gomez were the Blazers. first choice.

...

Before the new aid came, the media began to sow discord. Liu Xiu paid tribute to these media, which is really dedicated.

It doesn't matter if you get used to this kind of thing. As for whether the legendary James Terminator will lose his temper because of this, we will talk about it later.

Putting aside favors and only talking about business, Delfino is like an all-round poor man's version of the outlaw lunatic, who relies on skills on the defensive end, but he is not as good in physical condition as the outlaw lunatic, and his skills are not as good as the outlaw lunatic .

Whenever Delfino played in rotation, the strength at the small forward position plummeted, and there was no change at all, it just became weaker.

Now it has changed to a brutal defensive player who relies on his body and is good at confrontation, which greatly optimizes the lineup structure.

Upgrade Delfino to Deshaun Stevenson at the cost of Varejao, who was already on the trade list, the problem of the bloated center position is solved, and Mourning can take off the suit and play. !
After this three-party deal, the characteristics of the players that their prison team can play have become more diverse!
The new aid can't come yet. Varejao and Delfino went to the airport to move back to Portland. Fortunately, although Fred Jones and Mourning have not been on the active list, they have been traveling with the team. Tonight's 12 The activation list of people can make up enough.

The civil war in the Northwest Division is not very friendly to the Trail Blazers.

Seattle, which has the best living environment, does not have them in this consecutive away game.

Minneapolis is cold, Salt Lake City is not only cold but also racially discriminatory, and Denver is even more extreme, not to mention the plateau.

But the Trail Blazers have had good luck in these three games.

The core of the Jazz is too young to be bullied; the Timberwolves McHale has a good hand and insists on discarding his cards. He was still competing for the championship last summer. After only one season, he is already competing for the No. [-] pick, and he still has the best overall strength in the league. player's case.

The Nuggets are also in trouble right now.

Tonight, the Nuggets can't play except for the season-ending Nene, and neither can Marcus Camby.

Little Melon has now become Little Bitter Melon, more because of Canby.

It was an accident for Nene, and Camby was just as good. Last season, he still put on a show, but this year he became a pure data brush, because the contract has been won, 4 million US dollars in four years.

Among other things, Anthony wanted to cry when he averaged 45 points per game with 13% shooting at the start.

It doesn't matter if you brush the data, anyway, it can be useful, but in addition to the data, Camby has also reproduced the glass man attribute this year. He missed 11 games in the first 6 games, and his attendance rate was less than 50%.

他开局场均28分6板3助攻啊！命中率47.1%啊！C出血了都带不动队，4胜1负开局之后立马遭遇一波4连败。

The Nuggets have won the past two games and are currently only 6 wins and 5 losses, but they are still not among the top eight in the West.

Facing the Trail Blazers with strong insiders tonight, the two major centers of the Nuggets can't play, only Kenyon Martin who "throws away Kidd to prove himself" is left...

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

Randolph and Raheem exploded tonight. The two took turns to bully Kenyon Martin. The former scored 20 points in 21 minutes and the latter scored 18 points in 16 minutes. It's 37 points!
刘秀带队围绕内线优势展开进攻，首节24比20领先、第二节29比24领先、第三节打出了最大优势的34比25的比分，末节虽然23比25落后未能实现全程吊打，但不影响已经到手的胜利。

安东尼今晚29投14中、其中三分球2中0、外加16中13的罚球狂飙41分10板2助攻2抢断，趁着开拓者队锋线上只有法外狂徒好好的发了一回飙，但却难以弥补内线过于巨大的实力差距，肯扬-马丁打了27分钟只拿到9分4板1盖帽。

开拓者队靠着兰多夫的21分6板、拉希姆的16分4板、莫宁的4分4板1盖帽、夸梅-布朗的8分14板、雷-阿伦的22分、刘秀的14分7板14助攻……以110比94大胜掘金队，豪取6连胜！

...

With 10 wins and 2 losses, the Trail Blazers became the first team to win 10 wins in the new season, surpassing the current 8 wins and 2 losses of the Pistons, temporarily topping the league!

This is quite surprising. The Trail Blazers started the game so easily, but they only got 4 wins and 2 losses.

The decline in the defending champion's record is nothing more than a common thing.

Like the 2000 champion Lakers, they had 99 wins in the 00-67 season, a historical record, but in the 00-01 season, they only had 56 wins. Although there was a slight recovery in the 01-02 season, they only had 58 wins, except for the first championship. In the 02-03 season after three consecutive championships, if Kobe hadn't led the team to reverse the Warriors with 14 points in a single quarter in the last quarter of the curtain call, they would not have won 50 wins that season.

The 03 champion Spurs were also surpassed by the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers in 03-04; the 04 champion Pacers only finished fourth in the Eastern Conference last season.

The Trail Blazers look the same. Although Ray Allen has been introduced, the lineup structure and style of play have changed too much. People estimate that even if their record is to improve, they will have to wait until the lineup structure is adjusted.

But I didn't expect their record to improve before the adjustment of the lineup structure!A mighty 6-game winning streak, rushing to the first place in the league!

And the opponents with 6 consecutive victories are obviously slightly stronger than those with 4 wins and 2 losses.

With such an easy start, the Trail Blazers only got 4 wins and 2 losses, which made some media very excited and made a lot of comments that looked down on the performance of the Trail Blazers this season. They were not optimistic about the role of Ray Allen joining, saying that Ray- Allen picked the wrong team.

Although these media thought that they might be slapped in the face, they didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly!

Blazers fans are naturally excited, and they feel that since the summer of 2003, they have become the luckiest fans.

With such a good start record, the team's lineup structure has been adjusted smoothly, and Delfino has been upgraded to DeShawn Stevenson!

With Delfino + Varejao, Deshaun Stevenson was exchanged back, and he also earned a second-round pick that is not expected to be too low. This deal, even for those media who have been hacking them, They can only talk about Varejao's talent and future, but they have never pinned their future on a backup center like Varejao. They seem more important.

Trail Blazers fans seem to be able to see the bright future of this season ... but the unexpected always comes unexpectedly.

On the morning of November 11th, the Trail Blazers returned to Portland after three consecutive away trips. In the afternoon, they announced a bad news—Randolph had to miss one to two weeks due to fatigue strain caused by overtraining. .

Randolph, the fat man who gained 11kg in the summer and started with 129kg, got injured because of training too hard?Fans' first reaction was fake news!

……

……

Seeing Randolph eating a three-person meal by himself, Liu Xiu knew that this guy's mood was not affected by the injury, and he guessed that he was very happy to have a few games off.

Liu Xiu felt ridiculous when she learned that Randolph was injured.

After contacting the team, I realized it was true!

When they returned to Portland this morning, according to the usual practice, team doctor Thomas Carter asked each player about their physical condition, checked any problems regardless of their size, and performed more detailed inspections if necessary.

Randolph felt occasional twitches in his thigh muscles, and Thomas Carter, who was cautious, took him for a detailed examination and found the injury.

Liu Xiu asked the team doctor in detail, and it was really exhausting. In the past 40 days, according to the statistics of the trainer, Randolph's extra training in weight loss, basic skills, and techniques has averaged more than 4 hours a day. This average includes games. day.

In the past 40 days, they have played 6 preseason games and 12 regular season games, and they also have time to fly around. Condition!
During the season, if you practice like this, it won't hurt you.

And to be able to practice for so long before getting hurt is a very natural talent.

Knowing that Randolph was really injured, Liu Xiu prepared several food boxes and took Anne-Hathaway to visit Randolph's home.

Seeing that Randolph was still eating, Liu Xiu complained, "I never expected you to work hard behind our backs. Could it be that you want to secretly work hard for 40 days to amaze everyone?"

Randolph rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu: "It's not because of you."

Liu Xiu raised a question mark in his head: "When did I force you?"

Randolph said angrily, "You're improving so fast, I won't be left far behind if I don't work hard?"

"Hmm..." Liu Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Then I won't make any progress and wait for you?"

"Don't! I still want to win."

"That's right, I can't help it. I haven't practiced much. It's like this after just practicing casually. I'm also very desperate!"

Randolph clenched his fists, wanting to have a wave of extreme challenges.

Liu Xiu looked at the prompt of +88 healing value and was very satisfied. She joked: "I asked the team doctor about your injury. If your luck is not too bad, you can heal while playing the game. I think you are very lucky. , why don't you take the initiative to apply to play?"

"I don't want it!" Randolph was completely uninspired: "Although I am lucky, I can't keep bad luck. Look at the jumper of the Suns. He suffered similar injuries and was reimbursed for the final season."

"Yes, but a famous person once said, why sleep for a long time before death..."

"Then let him die and sleep again, don't sleep every day now!"

"Then do you need to adjust your high-intensity training plan?"

"You want to take the opportunity to widen the gap with me? Huh! Don't think about it! But I don't think I need to practice 10 hours a day to surpass you again..."

...

I got the news from Liu Xiu that Randolph was kind, and he didn't have the idea of ​​playing games after being injured. He obediently recuperated at home and planned to adjust the training plan. .

The vice president sighed: "Fortunately, Sharif cut his salary and stayed on the team. Otherwise, we would have to become an outside offensive team or risk Zach playing with injuries."

The coach responded: "Even if Sharif doesn't stay on the team, we can't let Zach play with the injury."

The vice president nodded: "Yes, I think Thomas' diagnosis and treatment concept of emphasizing minor injuries and preventing major injuries is very good. More and more players have suffered major injuries in the past two years."

"I actually think that I can try to become a perimeter offensive team..."

"You get me out!"

"This is my office..."

"Then I'll go!"

The vice president feels that the coach Xiu'er is becoming more and more serious!
Overnight, the news of Randolph's injury spread and fermented. The Blazers fans who were rejoicing because of the 10-2 record yesterday were struck by lightning.
Another game day arrived. Liu Xiu got up at 7 in the morning. After breakfast, she took her sister to surf the Internet for a while. Sure enough, the negative comments came again. Those who didn’t know thought that Randolph was reimbursed for the season. The best way to describe it is that Randolph has become a glass man.

Liu Xiu felt so frightened by this statement, so he quickly ate two more mouthfuls of pancakes to suppress his shock.

There is a game today, and there is no extra training arrangement with McDyess and other teammates. Liu Xiu will go out at about the same time and arrive at the arena at about the same time.

When going to the locker room to change clothes, Liu Xiulu understood that if he encouraged his teammates later, he should bear the responsibility of the boss. After the transaction, he needed to stabilize the morale of the army and appease the number one inside star after his injury.

After changing into training clothes and entering the training ground, Liu Xiu saw the time, 8:50, very good, entered the training ground 8 minutes earlier than usual, enough time.

As he expected, after he entered the court, all eyes were on him.

He's enjoying the spotlight, he loves being in the spotlight...and then someone gets in his way.

Liu Xiu looked at him unhappily, who is it?
oh!Is it new here? Is it here to meet the boss?
When Liu Xiu was ready to show his grandeur to receive newcomers, DeShawn Stevenson said, "Are you the warden?"

"?" A question mark appeared on Liu Xiu's head: "Have we faced each other before? You shouldn't be able to find a second opponent with such a handsome opponent?"

"..." Stevenson was speechless for a while, this answer was different from what he expected!
No matter what, Stevenson came as planned: "Hmph, you seem to have some strength, do you dare to single out?"

What's wrong with this new teammate?Forget it, newcomer, bear with it.

Liu Xiu responded: "One-on-one is no problem, but you have no chance to win in one-on-one. You can't stand me breaking through, and I can stand you breaking through and shooting."

Only then did Stevenson realize that the warden didn't understand what he meant, and everyone around laughed, and he roared, "I didn't mean playing basketball! It's this! Fist!"

Seeing James Terminator waving his fists in a panic, Liu Xiu suddenly realized.

He rolled his eyes at his teammates who were already watching.

No wonder his teammates all stared at him as soon as he came in, knowing that someone wanted to challenge him to a duel?

It's no wonder that he didn't understand the meaning of this newcomer, he had already forgotten when was the last time someone asked him to single out.

Liu Xiu asked, "Why do you want to challenge me one-on-one?"

Stevenson said seriously: "I want to challenge you, beat you, and become the boss of the team!"

Liu Xiu kindly asked again: "Are you sure?"

Stevenson responded without hesitation: "Of course!"

Liu Xiu nodded, took off her schoolbag, stretched it aside with one hand, and an outlaw lunatic appeared in a flash to take the backpack.

Liu Xiu stretched her shoulders and said, "I'm ready, come on, I won't hold back my hands, hurry up if you want to ask for mercy."

Stevenson wanted to vent when he heard the words, but when he saw Liu Xiu's face, he felt danger for some reason, as if it came from an animal's instinctive sense of crisis.

The guy in front of him obviously looks like the protagonist of an idol drama, and he doesn't seem to have sharp muscles... Stevenson was just a little timid when he heard the voice of his new teammates next to him.

"Come on, newcomer, kill the warden!"

"DeShawn, I support you and become the new warden!"

"Deshaun, Deshaun..."

When Deshaun Stevenson heard these voices, his thoughts of confession were wiped out. He came here this morning and yelled that he wanted to overthrow the warden, and now he can't do it!

Moreover, he felt that his new teammates were really cheering him on, and that animal sense of crisis was no longer functioning.

Looking at the jailer who was shorter than him, he felt that he had a great chance of winning, the handsome guy would give a shit!
Stevenson swung a punch towards Liu Xiu. He used a lot of force for this punch, but he missed!He almost fell due to inertia, but fortunately the warden opposite him helped him up.

At this time, laughter came from around, and before Stevenson could think about why everyone was laughing, the voice of the warden came—"I'll give you another chance, do you want to ask for mercy?"

Hearing this, Stevenson threw his arm back, but was dodged by the other party. He almost fell to the ground because of too much force, and was supported by the warden on the other side.

The voice that drove him crazy came again—"I'm asking you one last time, begging for mercy?"

Of course not, Stevenson never say never!Even if the warden on the other side asks him a hundred times, he won't beg for mercy!
But this time he didn't make any more moves, he felt his whole body floating up, he couldn't breathe in or exhale for a moment, his sight seemed to slow down a beat, and he flew up, only to see that the warden had already It leaned against his body... no, he was hit by the warden and flew into the air!

The pain and vision recovered at the same time, and Stevenson felt that his whole body was about to fall apart!Breathing is still difficult!
At this moment, his feet landed on the ground, he felt that he had lost control of his body, he wanted to stand still, but...but he didn't need to be ashamed of not standing still, the warden took one of his arms and put it on his shoulder , drilled into his chest, and with all his strength, he flew up again!

After a whirlwind, the last thing Stevenson heard was the frantic screaming and cheering of his teammates, and what he saw was Liu Xiu standing up and arranging his training clothes, and then...

Stevenson was beaten unconscious by Liu Xiu's two moves!
