Healing Basketball

Chapter 620 620. Mamba Strikes
During the training session in the afternoon, Liu Xiu found that Kwame Brown was very frustrated. It was obvious that he was affected by the announcement of the All-Star starting roster.

During the training break, Liu Xiu found Kwame Brown and said, "I was defeated by that No. [-] pick again, are you frustrated?"

Kwame Brown nodded honestly: "It's only less than 10 votes, so I'm not reconciled."

If Duncan is regarded as a power forward, this year may be the weakest year for a center in the Western Conference in NBA history.

Kwame Brown himself recognizes this, so he is even more frustrated. God knows if there will be such a good opportunity in the future.

No.2 is the biggest loser, not talking about people's opinions, but No.2's own mood.

In addition, with Kwame Brown's current ability and performance, just like Kobe Bryant in the second year of his career, it is impossible to be selected as an All-Star substitute if he is not selected as a starter. Even if there is no center position, the coaches will choose him. A power forward who can play center is a substitute.

Liu Xiu said in surprise, "Kwame, you can actually calculate the difference in votes!"

"???"

Kwame Brown really wants to shout: Is this what you focus on?

Liu Xiu received a notification from the system that Kwame Brown was successfully cured. He was quite puzzled. Why were these teammates healed after a disagreement recently?

It doesn't matter, he is here to comfort the parallel import champion!
Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Kwame, you should keep this matter in mind as motivation, and defeat Duncan in a head-to-head confrontation in the future!"

"He's Tim Duncan! Why should I?"

Kwame-Brown was so forceful that Liu Xiudu could only be silent for a while and then replied: "That's right."

"Huh???" Kwame Brown was in a bad mood.

"Cough cough," Liu Xiu coughed dryly twice, thinking sharply... There it is!Said: "Duncan will be 30 years old in two or three months, and you are not yet 24 years old..."

Kwame Brown's eyes lit up: "That's right! He's getting old, but I'm still young!"

"Mmmmmmm..."

...

In the following training, Kwame Brown returned to a positive and energetic state, and Liu Xiu was very satisfied.

Although he thinks it is difficult to say who will retire first, Kwame Brown or Duncan, but it is true that Kwame Brown is 6 years younger than Duncan. He is not talking nonsense...

On the second day, it was the last day of the month again.

After breakfast, Anne Hathaway flipped through the newspaper and said, "Today's basketball-related news is all about tonight's game against the Lakers. Just now, the basketball content of my ESPN sports news is also..."

Liu Xiu remembered that since the game between the Trail Blazers and the Heat the day before yesterday, the major basketball media had been promoting the game, and the NBA officials seemed to spare no effort to create momentum for the game.

Who doesn't like to be in the limelight, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I'm under a lot of pressure when they do this! It would be too embarrassing if I don't perform well..."

After breakfast, Liu Xiu left home a few minutes earlier than usual and came to the Rose Garden Arena. When parking the car, she met the patrolling security personnel and said hello.

The security guy complained: "God, I hate the Lakers coming to our game."

Liu Xiu took a closer look at the security guard, and replied, "That's right, you were also in charge of security yesterday afternoon, and Kobe made you work overtime again?"

The security guy nodded and complained: "Yeah, every time the Lakers come to play, their 80-pointer will come to practice. Yesterday, you and Allen were the last to leave on our team. We could have 6 I left work before the o'clock, but he dragged it until 8 o'clock..."

Liu Xiu was ashamed when he heard the words. He remembered that the Lakers arrived in Portland yesterday morning. They trained for two hours at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, but Kobe practiced until [-] o'clock in the evening... Liu Xiu's eyes lit up when he thought of this, will this lead to The great god became a blacksmith?Really been waiting!
...

After chatting with the security guy, Liu Xiu first went to John Nash to get today's tickets. The popular game, the whole family will come to watch, and I went out 10 minutes earlier today, just for this.

Because of the arrival of the Lakers, today's Portland is extremely noisy.

But the Trail Blazers seemed to be out of the hustle and bustle, and the morning preparation training was not affected in the slightest. Even Liu Xiu, only the cameraman in charge of documentary shooting was allowed to shoot on the sidelines, and the team reporters were not allowed to interview, so they could focus on preparing for the game.

Of course, Liu Xiu's refusal to accept interviews does not affect that this game has become the game with the highest attention since the NBA entered the middle of the season under the media and NBA official promotion.

The time came to 7:40 p.m., in the home and away team player channel of the Rose Garden Arena, the Trail Blazers and Lakers players were ready to go.

The lights at the scene dimmed, and the first to enter the field was the Lakers, who were playing away.

Stop going through the process, and the boos of the fans on the scene will be full!Starting with Odom, who played the first game, every starter of the Lakers enjoyed the most manic boos from the Blazers fans.

"Los Angeles Lakers, 25 wins and 18 losses, averaging 99.6 points per game, conceding 95.9 points per game..."

"Kobe Bryant, 27 years old, 198 cm, 96 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 100, offense 100, defense 98, three-pointer 86 (?), mid-range shot 96, layup 99, speed 92, strength 91 , bounce 95, stamina 100... averaged 38.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game... shooting 47.1% from the field and 36.3% from the three-point range..."

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched when he saw Kobe's player detection report. After Iverson's physical strength dropped to 99 this season, this seemed to be the only one with full physical strength.

The average number of shots per game is 28.9. This is because the number of shots has decreased in the last 6 games, otherwise the average number of shots per game is 29+.

Looking forward to the fact that the master became a blacksmith because of overtime work the day before the game, it seems impossible.

After the players of the visiting team played, it was the turn of the home team to play. The wild cheers of the fans drove away Liu Xiu's troubles and anxiety.

Rose Bay Devils Home!
After the lights came on, Liu Xiu and Kobe walked to the middle circle at the same time amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene.

The two looked at each other, and Kobe, who was the guest, just didn't speak. In his view of the world, the one who spoke first at this time was the one who couldn't hold his breath, and his momentum was a bit shorter.

However, he has a lot to say. He has been writing provocative trash talk in his free time recently, preparing for the pre-match confrontation of this game, and he can't hold back.

Just when he was about to be unable to hold back, finally, he saw that the warden on the other side opened his mouth first, and he felt extremely excited. This time, he gained the upper hand!

"Bean, can you squat down and talk a little bit? I'm talking to you with my head up and my neck hurts."

"Huh... Watt?"

For a moment just now, all the trash talk he had prepared during this period emerged in Kobe's mind. No matter from which angle Liu Xiu provoked, he was confident that he could fight back.

But I didn't expect Liu Xiu to hold back such a sentence for a long time!
This guy doesn't play by the rules!So angry!
The more Kobe thought about it, the more angry he became, he ignored Liu Xiu and walked away.

Rahim, who was waiting for Liu Xiu and Kobe to exchange greetings with his old friend, swallowed his saliva. He felt that Kobe was miserable...

At this time, Liu Xiu, who was a little confused by Kobe who left and offered healing value, turned to Raheem and said, "Has he reached menopause? My God, Kobe Bryant, who is usually so polite, is not polite. It sounds so rude...By the way, do men go through menopause too?"

Rahim covered his head, the warden's ability to heal people has become more and more outstanding, and it has reached the level of natural healing!

Raheem thinks this may be related to the fact that it is currently in the middle of the season. Recently, many media have praised Liu Xiu for not being affected in the middle of the season. He is what a superstar should be. However, in the view of the delicate Raheem, Liu Xiu has also been affected , It's just that their warden himself didn't realize it.

Watching Kobe walk away angrily again, Wang Zhizhi was very used to it.

He stepped forward and said to Liu Xiu: "It's been a long time, Warden, it's unbelievable that you can be compared with Kobe like that, playing for a month without distinction."

"Is there no difference?" Liu Xiu glanced at Kobe who was on the sidelines with his hips on his hips and no teammates dared to step forward to talk to him, and replied: "Counting the performance of the team, it may be about the same... You are also very good, and Kobe Together we scored 88 points."

"..."

Just as Wang Zhizhi wanted to praise Liu Xiu for being too modest, he was confused by Liu Xiu's last words.

But he played very comfortably that day. He scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Many assists were just passing the ball to Kobe, and then they became assists...

"Wang Zhizhi, 28 years old, 214 cm, 114 kg, C/PF, ability rating 79... averaged 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 blocks per game... shooting 47.2% from the field and 38.6% from the three-point range, averaging 1.2-pointers per game [-] hits..."

While exchanging greetings with Wang Zhizhi, Liu Xiu looked at the opponent's player detection report.

Compared with last season, Wang Zhizhi's scoring and rebounding have dropped a bit, but his assist performance is quite good. Liu Xiu has watched several live broadcasts of Lakers games, and Wang Zhizhi's supporting performance when he and Kobe partnered is excellent.

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Xiu returned to the bench and turned on the system screen again.

“卡隆-巴特勒……能力评价82……场均14.6分4.8板2.6助攻……投篮命中率42.6%，三分命中率34.2%……”

“拉马尔-奥多姆……能力评价85（？）……场均14.2分10.6板3.6助攻1抢断1.3盖帽……投篮命中率48.1%，三分命中率37.6%……”

“德隆-威廉姆斯……能力评价77……场均9.1分2.4板4.4助攻……投篮命中率43%，三分命中率39.5%……”

Liu Xiu looked at the player detection reports of the opponent's top five stars, and what he saw was pretty much the same as what he knew during the preparation stage.

The biggest advantage of the Lakers is that they are in excellent health and have a very stable lineup. The Lakers are one of the few teams that have not made any trades since the start of the new season. Counting them, only 4 teams have not made any trades. trade.

In the starting lineup, except for Wang Zhizhi who missed 5 games due to injury, everyone else is full attendance.

What it brings is that Caron Butler, who has the lowest assists among the five starters, also has 2.6 assists!
