Healing Basketball

Chapter 630 630. Don't Let Loyalty Harm You

After breakfast, Liu Xiu went online to read the discussions on ESPN's latest MVP prediction rankings on the Internet. There was a lot of controversy. The biggest point of controversy was that Nash lacked Stoudemire as a teammate and that Kobe Bryant had the best performance. The stable teammates are Wang Zhizhi and Butler, and he is the warden.

Seeing this kind of public opinion, Qing'er was beside her indignantly: "If they can do it, they will do it!"

Anne Hathaway said: "In fact, this is a good situation. The only place they can attack is the lineup. Jess's personal performance and team performance have been recognized."

Qing'er immediately stood up when she heard the words, and chatted with Anne Hathaway about it.

After a while, after 8 o'clock, Liu Xiu set off to the arena, Anne-Hathaway sent Qing'er to school, and then went to school by herself.

In the tactical meeting in the morning, the coaching staff announced good news-Mourning's suspension is over and he can come back!
After the meeting, Liu Xiu chatted with the vice president and learned that they would get a player from the Hornets.

Among the Hornets insiders, Liu Xiu can only think of three names, and it must not be David West or the No. [-] pick, so there is only one left...

Then at noon, Liu Xiu saw the news - Chris Anderson was arrested by the police for holding a gun and taking a large amount of prohibited drugs. The prosecution provided relevant evidence to NBA officials and confirmed it was true. David Stern announced that he would Reece Anderson was suspended for two years.

Liu Xiu spat out a phrase of 'fuck' on the spot, and hurried to the coach's office.

It happened that the coach and the vice-president were going out for lunch together, and they were taken aback when they heard Liu Xiu say that their signing target had been suspended for two years. After learning that it was Birdman, the vice-president said angrily, "How about the Hornets? We may send Anderson to us, our goal is not him, but I did not expect Anderson to be suspended for two years, although it is self-inflicted, but it is really a pity, if only we had such a backup insider."

"Not Anderson?" Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "That's right, Anderson's contract is 700 million for two years, and we can't afford it if we trade, so who are we going to trade?"

The vice president said: "It's not a deal. The Hornets are planning to lay off a player in order to save money. It has been discussed. We will pay part of the basic salary for the rest of the game. When the Hornets agree to buy out, they will pay less of this part of the salary."

Liu Xiu started complaining: "The salary of the Hornets has dropped to less than 4000 million, right? It's not as high as our substitute's salary, and it's still falling? Regardless of this, who is the new aid?"

"A player that your teammates and coaches will love, Aaron Williams..."

"never heard of that……"

...

After lunch, Liu Xiu went to look up the player he hadn't heard of. When he saw the photos on the official NBA website, he found that he had played against him, so he had a little impression.

Liu Xiu looked at the official profile of Aaron Williams. As an undrafted pick, it is the 13th season of his career, and he has played for as many as 9 teams. The statistics are common, but the salary is not low. The time is between 200 million and 350 million. The mainstay player. This year is the last year of the 4-year 1260 million dollar contract signed by the Nets. The data in the past two years has been extremely poor, and he has almost no chance to play. The Hornets can't sell the draft picks upside down.

但在03-04赛季的时候，这位老将场均18分钟能拿到6分4板。

Liu Xiu's impression of Aaron Williams comes from a match in his rookie year. The picture he remembers is Randolph rushing up. Was knocked over, but caused an offensive foul by Randolph.

That offensive foul was highly controversial, more because of the notoriety of the Blazers and the size difference between Randolph and Aaron Williams who made the referee feel that the latter was an 'underdog'.

But Liu Xiu didn't remember the name of that desperate effort, but he really remembered the scene.

Liu Xiu didn't investigate this possible signing in depth. After simply looking at the official information, he forgot about it. He punched for a while, took a nap... and entered the regular preparation process for the home game.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Timberwolves at home.

After the start of the game, the Trail Blazers started the slow heat mode again, 19 to 22 in the first quarter and 22 to 24 in the second quarter. At halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Timberwolves by 41 points 46 to 5!
不过到了下半场，情况发生180度转变，第三节靠着兰多夫的2分3板1助攻、雷-阿伦的8分、刘秀的5分1板2助攻、拉希姆的6分……开拓者队打出了24比21的比分，将比分追至65比67，分差缩小到两分。

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers continued their offensive performance in the third quarter and scored 24 points in a single quarter again. At the same time, relying on the defense that entered the state, they limited the Timberwolves to only 18 points, giving back the lowest score in a single quarter of the game. Timberwolves.

最终，靠着兰多夫的14分13板3助攻1抢断、雷-阿伦的19分4板1助攻、刘秀的19分12板11助攻2抢断1盖帽、拉希姆的12分、夸梅-布朗的7分4板3盖帽……开拓者队以89比85逆转森林狼队，将战绩提升至39胜7负！
But the most dazzling player tonight is not Liu Xiu, who won his 9th triple-double this season, but Garnett, who made all his first 12 shots!
本场比赛加内特打了44分钟，前43分钟12投12中拿到27分14板4助攻7抢断3盖帽，7次抢断追平生涯最高。

But when the score came to the Trail Blazers overtaking the Timberwolves 87-85, Garnett broke through the outsider with the ball and avoided Kwame Brown for a layup. The big hat behind Xiu flew, and the 100% hit rate was broken.

After the game, Liu Xiu accepted a post-match interview.

Before the start of the game, the Trail Blazers were first in the league with 37 wins and 7 losses, and the Timberwolves were second to last in the West with 13 wins and 30 losses, but they still got the live broadcast. The Timberwolves also had Garnett, a popular king player.

The ESPN reporter said: "Warden, congratulations, you have won 9 triple-doubles this season, only 10 time away from the 1 triple-doubles in your rookie year!"

Liu Xiu responded: "Thank you, I will try my best to get my 10th triple-double before the All-Star Weekend."

The reporter Liu Xiu often saw that the other party had become accustomed to this way of answering and started to ask questions. At the beginning, he asked two routine questions, and Liu Xiu also gave an official answer.

"Warden, Garnett once again played an amazing personal performance tonight. As an opponent, how do you think his data does not match the team's record?"

Liu Xiu knew that there would be a difficult problem, but he didn't expect it to be this one. Let him, an opponent who had "fighted" with Garnett, evaluate this matter... Yes!
"I hope he can make the choice to follow his heart, and don't let his loyalty hurt him..."
