MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1051 Bad Master (8000+ words)

   Chapter 1051 1051. Bad Master (8000+ words)

  In addition to the annual endorsement fee of 37.5 million US dollars, there are also bonuses that can reach up to 7.5 million US dollars per year, as well as dividends for the development of peripheral products.

   Bonuses need to be obtained by the three major awards of All-Star, Best Team, and Data King.

   All-star starters or substitutes can be used. The best team includes the best team and the best defensive team. The data king needs to get at least one of the five major statistics. If all three are met, he can get the highest bonus.

   After Hook announced the price at the press conference, it shocked the entire sports world!

At the press conference, when the reporter asked the person in charge of the hook whether the price would be too exaggerated, the person in charge said that Liu Xiu deserved it. Some friends gave the price of up to 350 million dollars in 10 years and 400 million dollars in 12 years. But they feel that the friends are too stingy, and raised the price to a maximum of 450 million in 10 years...to ensure that the friends can no longer keep up with the price.

  The person in charge of the hook did not say who the friends were, but it was soon revealed that they were Reebok and Under Armour.

   Qianjin buys horse bones not for the horse to see, but for other people to see.

   Having spent so much money to keep Liu Xiu, you have to maximize the benefits. At this time, Hook took the initiative to talk about the price, so that Liu Xiu's fans felt that the endorsement brand valued him.

  The timing is also just right, the worst of the subprime mortgage crisis has just passed, the quantitative easing in the United States has just started, and the Federal Reserve has started to throw money.

  Several listed sports brands, in North America, whether it is from the perspective of the stock market or sales, Liu Xiu is the target of their competition.

  Liu Xiu’s AJ-Warden series last year and the AJ-Jess Senator series in the second half of last year were the first and second best-selling basketball shoes last year.

  After the official announcement of the signing at the press conference, the market value of Hook rose by 2.7%, creating the largest single-day increase since 2005!

  …

"cheers…"

  That night, after attending the dinner hosted by Hook, Liu Xiu, Anne Hathaway, his aunt, and Bill Duffy came to the holiday house where Liu Xiu's family lived and opened champagne to celebrate.

   This new contract has been negotiated and dragged since the year before last, and now it has finally been settled, and several people are very happy.

  In addition to signing the contract, Liu Xiu’s family, uncle and aunt’s family, and Bill Duffy’s family all bought the shares of Hook before signing the contract.

  Bill Duffy alone made a lot of money this time, with a signing fee of 3 million dollars, plus a 5% endorsement commission, the accumulated income will exceed 20 million dollars.

In Liu Xiu's agent contract with Bill Duffy, the percentage of salary income and endorsement fee income has been reduced to a very low level. The salary is only 2%, and the endorsement fee income is only 5%. Compared with the players of the same company, Anthony and Nash, The salary is 4%, the endorsement fee is 15%, the latter is 20%, and the contract between Randolph and Bill Duffy is 5% and 20%.

  Kobe and Pelinka's agent contract also has a commission of 3% and 10%.

   James, who also set up his own brokerage company, can maximize his benefits.

  But Liu Xiu's family doesn't have such talents, and he himself doesn't bother to bother.

Over the past year or so, he has received various feedbacks from Bill Duffy. He knows how much energy Bill Duffy has spent pulling with the hook. Pressure, but also to grasp the scale... I don't know how much hair has fallen out.

The money is what he deserves. If professional matters are entrusted to professional people, he will definitely not have the patience to spend more than a year arguing about it. He may have signed the contract at an appropriate price early on, but It didn't push the opponent's acceptable bottom line, and the probability of getting the money in the end was not as much as that of Bill Duffy.

After celebrating, Bill Duffy and Liu Xiu talked about the subsequent endorsement work, and then left. He had to go back and have another drink with the staff, as well as a bonus. According to the past practice, he had to spend millions of dollars A dollar to reward the staff.

  After Bill Duffy left, Anne Hathaway and her aunt asked Liu Xiu to play games with her uncle and Qinger.

My aunt has always been a workaholic and focused on doing business. Qinger is responsible for taking care of her uncle and younger siblings. Anne-Hathaway has been working with her aunt for two years. Now her second child is also born, and her second sister is almost two years old. She came to take care of the children, and she also devoted her energy to work, helping Liu Xiu to deal with the surrounding chores, so that Liu Xiu could devote herself to her beloved basketball career.

Acting is still Anne-Hathaway's favorite job, but now she doesn't need to play roles that she doesn't like, doesn't need to maintain that "goddess" image, and doesn't worry about other people's evaluations in this regard, she likes to play what she likes Last time, I played a supporting role of a beggar with yellow teeth, dark face, and disheveled hair. Of course, she would also play a pure 'vase' role that she likes occasionally. Heat is good for doing business.

   Today's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and Rookie Game were all taken away by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu went to see the results.

  Rookie Challenge, the sophomore team narrowly beat the rookie team by 6 points.

  Rose, Westbrook, Beasley, Eric Gordon and others were really fierce and almost overturned the rookie team, but Durant scored 46 points, helping the sophomore team complete the comeback and won the rookie game MVP.

   On the second day, the comprehensive event day, Liu Xiu did not go to the scene to watch.

   Today, on Valentine's Day, Qing'er watched her parents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law go out on a date with resentment, and she could only take care of the baby at home with the nannies... Might as well not watch the All-Stars!

   At home with the baby, at least there are woodworking toys made by my brother, and I can also build excavator Lego, and I can wash the excavator with the faucet!

But playing football with her nephew, niece, and niece is also very interesting. After playing for a whole morning, she forgot her troubles, and said that her nephew, who is less than 5 years old, is really amazing, and then watched it together A football cartoon, I asked Jay if he could shoot that kind of shot with fire, and he received the idiot look from Jay...

In the evening game, Shooting Star Challenge, the Trail Blazers' dynasty' dreams were shattered. Yao Ming, the famous Pistons Bill Lambiel and Cady Smith of the Detroit Shock team won the championship in 49 seconds in the final, defeating the Dragic, Fisher, Barbosa.

   In the Skills Challenge, Rose won the championship with a time of 38.9 seconds; the three-point contest was won by Heat pitcher Dae Quinn Cook.

These two games fully demonstrated what luck is. In the final of the Skills Challenge, Parker was about to break Liu Xiu's record. In the end, he made three layups before completing it. Once he wanted to dunk but failed... Ross was in the front The performance was mediocre, but in the final layup, he jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands behind his back, reversing and winning the championship.

Daequan Cook is not considered a top shooter either. So far this season, he has averaged two three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of 38.5%, and he is still a pure three-pointer. His shooting percentage is even lower than the three-point shooting percentage, only 37%. He only scored 18 points in the preliminaries, which is actually the first place in the preliminaries.

  In the finals, they only scored 15 points and scored overtime, and only scored 19 points in overtime. It can be said that it is the lowest level of three-point competition in recent years.

   The slam dunk contest is quite interesting, the duel between Little Tudou and Beast.

   Nate Robinson defeated Howard by 4% of the votes by leaping over the dunk of "Superman Howard" and won the slam dunk king.

   On February 15th, the All-Star Game, in the early morning, Liu Xiu was dragged by O'Neal to dance practice... along with James, Wade, Howard and Yao Ming!

   Originally, Liu Xiu didn't want to go, but Yao Ming went, so he decided to go.

  During the entrance ceremony at night, the mask dance performed by O'Neill's lead dancer blew up the entire American West Arena.

   At this time, people discovered that in terms of fun, it had to be the superman Shaquille O'Neal of the previous generation.

   In contrast, this year's most popular American center Howard, his funny is like playing tricks.

  Shoushou didn't expect to participate in an All-Star, and his popularity has actually declined...

   At 8:00 p.m., the race begins.

  OK combination showed super dominance!

  Dancing, the master rejected his old partner, but in the competition, the two who hadn't cooperated for many years showed the best tacit understanding in the game. The tacit understanding of the four all-stars of "Darkest Dynasty" was not as good as the invincible OK.

Kobe scored 27 points on 12 of 20 shots, O'Neal scored 25 points and 10 rebounds on 10 of 15 shots. Liu Xiu chose to be a support tonight to repay the help of the great gods over the years... He also wants to watch the performance show of the OK group. It was really the last time, scoring 10 points and 14 assists on 3 of 5 shots.

  Under the leadership of the three, the Western team beat the Eastern team throughout the whole process, 149 to 115, and the Western team easily won the game.

Yao Ming's playing time tonight is the longest time he has played as an All-Star in so many years. He played 26 minutes. The biggest highlight was the corner catch and three-pointer. He made 3 of 7 shots, scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, and returned them to O'Neal a big hat.

  In the end, the OK team jointly lifted the MVP trophy of this All-Star Game, and the 2009 All-Star Weekend came to an end.

  …

   On the 16th, Liu Xiu's family returned to Portland and took a day off. On the 17th, the regular season continued and began to prepare for the upcoming games.

   After resting for several days, Liu Xiuneng could clearly feel the changes in the state of his teammates—hungry for the game!

  The record of 45 wins and 7 losses, after returning from a break, did not let the teammates relax, but became a stronger motivation!

  After a day of preparations, on the 18th, the Trail Blazers ushered in their first game in the second half of the season, against the Jazz.

   At 7:40 p.m., the Jazz entered the stadium first in the Rose Garden Arena.

  "Chris Paul, 23 years old, 183 cm, 80 kg, PG, ability rating 96...Played 30 games, averaged 23.2 points, 5 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.8 steals...Shooting 50.3% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point range..."

   Liu Xiu's gaze focused on Paul, who was last on the opposite side.

   After only playing 30 games, he was still selected as an All-Star substitute by the coaches of each team. It is conceivable how good Paul's performance this year is.

  Although the Jazz continued to suffer injuries in the first half, they still ranked among the top eight in the West, and Paul contributed a lot.

   Moreover, the All-Star Weekend came back from the break, and the Jazz, except for the main substitute Jack God who was absent due to injury, all the other main players played!

  The Jazz currently ranks eighth in the West with 29 wins and 23 losses. According to the current situation of the teams, the Jazz is likely to eventually enter the playoffs with the seventh and eighth rankings.

The Trail Blazers may meet the Jazz in the first round. Counting tonight, they will play against the Jazz twice in the regular season. It is a good opportunity to learn more about the strength and style of play of the Jazz. After Szczerbiak brought back Larry Hughes, the defense improved again, and their team was very focused tonight.

  Of course Liu Xiu himself is full of confidence, more confident than the whole team, because when he entered the arena, he received a reminder of the trigger of "prison killing".

  The Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Randolph, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

  The Jazz sent a starting lineup of Paul, CJ-Myers, Larry Hughes, Boozer and Costa Koufos.

The bench has Kirilenko, Kapono, Ronnie Brewer, Matt Harprin, Ronnie Price, Chandler, Blevin Knight... this lineup, Jazz The total salary is only 65.49 million US dollars, and Paul's rookie bonus is very delicious.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

  Last year’s offense was beaten by the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. This year, the Jazz have been strengthening their defense. This is why the Jazz sent away Szczerbiak and traded back for Larry Hughes. The Jazz’s defense improved significantly in January.

  Come back from the All-Star Weekend, the Jazz's defensive coordination has improved again, and they have presented a very good team defense.

  However, Liu Xiu made 5 of 7 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 defenses, 15 points in a single quarter!

  Ray Allen made 3 of 3 shots in the first quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points in a single quarter.

  Led by the two, the Trail Blazers scored 33 points in the first quarter, leading the Jazz with 21 points by 12 points!

  Although the Jazz responded with a 26-19 offensive and defensive single quarter in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still entered the second half with a 52-47 lead of 5 points.

   After adjustments during the intermission, Liu Xiu adapted to the opponent's infinite pincer defense, coupled with Mustache's highly targeted tactical adjustments, Liu Xiu led the team to go wild again!

  The Jazz continued the offense of the second quarter in the third quarter and scored 26 points again. However, Liu Xiu scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and Gasol Jr. had 5 points and 3 assists. Together, the two led the team to score 32 points!

  84 to 73, the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 11 points!

At the end of the quarter, Paul couldn't take it anymore, and tried to play offense with Sloan, but Sloan couldn't resist, and he also felt that Liu Xiu's performance was too outrageous, with 37 points and 7 assists in three quarters, which was unreasonable. That horrible man... was forced to play offense.

  Paul scored 8 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to blast 35 points.

But the Jazz's defense became looser. Paul and Chandler were able to defend the outside line, but they couldn't defend the basket. But he made 7 of 11 shots, plus 3 of 3 free throws and scored 17 points in a single quarter, leading the team to 38 points!

   Made 19 of 34 shots, including 6 of 10 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. Liu Xiu scored 54 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in a single game!

  Adding Ray Allen's 23 points, Randolph's 14 points and 17 rebounds, Gasol's 11 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and the outlaw's 10 points...The Blazers beat the Jazz 122-108!

  Liu Xiu scored 50+ in a single game in the second half of the first game, which dealt a heavy blow to the students in the eastern scoring candidate.

However, Paul was the most directly hit, with 35 points, 2 rebounds and 14 assists. He has been preparing for this game for a long time. During the All-Star Weekend, he almost watched the video clips of the Trail Blazers this season and discussed with the coaching staff. Countless times... But the warden exploded when he met him, and he threw so many waves. Those who didn't know thought that the warden was the one who always lost, and he could still make shots!

  After playing the Jazz, the Trail Blazers took a day off. On the 20th, the Warriors challenged at home and easily won the victory 113 to 100.

   Liu Xiu clocked out of get off work in three quarters and made 6 of 11 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

Originally, the final quarter was to be played. In the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed the Warriors by two points 74-76, but at the beginning of the final quarter, the teammates started racing wildly, and he was on the bench... The teammates played 39-24 in the final quarter. score.

Randolph 26 points, Ray Allen 19 points, Hill 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Birdman 11 points, Kwame Brown 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Outlaws 12 points, Diaw 5 points and 6 assists …Liu Xiu likes to sit on such a cold bench.

   After returning from the All-Star Weekend for these two games, the Trail Blazers team is online, and their physical strength and energy have been greatly restored. The coaching staff can finally start to make further adjustments—going to the playoffs mode!

   On the 21st, a rest day, the Trail Blazers, who were preparing for the next game against the Mavericks, ushered in good news-the team's 15th man has been settled.

  Donyell Marshall reached a buyout agreement with the 76ers and joined the Trail Blazers.

   Liu Xiu has an impression of this player. He is a big pitcher. His career masterpiece is to maintain the historical record of 12 three-pointers in a single game with Kobe.

   Liu Xiu looked at the performance of his new teammates this season, which reminded him of the big pitcher of the Spurs—Matt Bonner.

The performance of a purely functional player, played 35 games, averaged 9 minutes per game, scored 4.2 points and 1.6 rebounds, shot 45% from the field and 45.5% from three-pointers, and averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game .

This year is the last year of the 6-year full mid-level contract that Marshall signed with the Raptors in 2003. The salary is 6.21 million dollars. 1.77 million of the 2.27 million US dollar salary for one game, in exchange for free agency.

During the All-Star Weekend, Liu Xiu heard from the coach that they would introduce a big pitcher as a backup to the bench lineup. Under certain circumstances, it can be used as a rotation lineup to complement the big pitcher in Mustache's offensive concept. ring.

The original plan was to trade, the object was... Channing Frye of the Lakers, the 2005 player, with the addition of David West, Wang Zhizhi and Odom are at their peak, and the Lakers also introduced With Josh Powell, who has a stronger impact, his playing time has been reduced all the way. This season he only played 10 minutes and averaged 4.2 points per game.

  Frye has expressed his dissatisfaction in public many times, and threatened that he would never renew his contract with the Lakers. He is an ideal signing target for the Trail Blazers and is willing to give away draft picks.

  But it seems that the negotiations with the Lakers have failed. The other party would rather lose a player who can be exchanged for draft picks in vain than let their Trail Blazers benefit.

  However, Liu Xiu doesn't think there is any problem with the Lakers' operation. It is not a loss to prevent the opponent from reinforcing.

He reckoned that the introduction of players from the Lakers is probably just a trial run by the management, thinking that Frye might become an X factor when he meets the Lakers in the playoffs. Happy, when Frye averaged 12 points per game in his rookie year, the Lakers seemed to have promised the main force at the beginning, but with West, he was asked to watch the water cooler.

   Fortunately, they have alternatives on their side. Anyway, it is just to enhance the functionality of the internal line. It is enough, and it may not be necessary.

   Moreover, a veteran who ran over to hold his thigh with less than Bai Lai Wan Mei knife would not cause internal conflicts, and there would be gains and losses.

  …

   On the 22nd, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Mavericks at home.

   The head coach changed in the mid-term, and the Mavericks' operation raised questions.

   But as an opponent, I can feel the hidden dangers of the Mavericks - the general has lost control over the Mavericks. This season, the Mavericks are not playing infinite singles, but positional warfare with Kidd as the core of their tactics.

   It was Kidd who actually controlled the offense for the Mavericks in the first half of the season.

  The Mavericks' record in the first half of the season is not bad, but it should be better.

   However, the pain of changing coaches is unavoidable. The Mavericks lost two games in a row after the All-Star Weekend, and their record dropped to 35 wins and 19 losses.

Liu Xiu studied the footage of the last two games of the Mavericks yesterday. It is obvious that Carlisle has become the one who dominates tactics, but the changes brought about are relatively large. Carlisle does not like to use Dampier. Dampier's playing time has changed from the first half of the season The average 32 minutes per game dropped to 19 minutes. The Mavericks' team offense improved immediately, but Dampier was the Mavericks' original inside defensive core, and Nowitzki and Brandon Bass protected the frame, which was quite a disaster.

  This is happening again tonight!

   Nowitzki made 11 of 21 shots in the game, and those fadeaway jumpers one after another, the extrajudicial fanatics were once again deflated.

   Kidd had 6 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists. The Mavericks' offense was organized in an orderly manner. The Blazers defended well, and the Mavericks still scored 105 points.

   But the Mavericks, who averaged only 97 points per game in the first half of the season, lost 115 points tonight!

Liu Xiu made 8 of 20 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 24 points. His personal offense was not very good, but he did a very good job of organizing offense, passing the ball, and taking pot shots. Get 12 assists, plus 11 rebounds!

  Liu Xiu 24 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Randolph 34 points, Ray Allen 12 points, Outlaws 12 points, Kwame Brown 17 points...

  115 to 105, the Trail Blazers defeated the Mavericks at home, completing the revenge of the last loss!

   With a triple-double in this game, Liu Xiu once again surpassed the "newcomer triple-double king" Gui Xiaogui who has won 6 triple-doubles.

  …

  The Mavericks suffered a three-game losing streak and lost to the Trail Blazers, which they had defeated before. The operation of changing the head coach in the mid-term was once again questioned.

   On the 23rd, the trade deadline, another team changed its head coach-the Suns fired Terry Porter and let D'Antoni's iron fan Alvin Gentry serve as the head coach.

  Liu Xiu learned from Little Beard that the Suns had re-invited him, and both Dahu and the coach had asked him for his opinion on whether he wanted to go back to be the head coach.

The addition of Moustache is the key to the completion of their offensive system for the Trail Blazers this season. Although the intern assistant coach, Huo Tu, and the coach have all played a big role, once they encounter problems on the offensive end, they are almost always solved by Moustache. His ability has won the recognition of the whole team. Although he is reluctant to let go of such an offensive master, but the position of the head coach... the big dog is willing to let him go.

But Mustache is also arrogant. In the original time and space, he signed a four-year contract with the Lakers, but Kobe was seriously injured in the first year of coaching, and he could only be poor in the second year. He was scolded miserably. He was asked to run away, but a group of veterans and Howard, who was attacked by back injuries and collapsed, couldn't run at all... He was wronged, and he didn't wait for the Lakers to fire him. He resigned by himself, and his salary for the last two years was directly lost. want.

  He is just as tough this time. He was deprived of his coaching qualifications after half of last season, and Terry Porter was allowed to coach O'Neal. It was such a humiliation that he was unwilling to go back no matter what.

  After the three consecutive main games, the Trail Blazers got two days to rest. After training in offensive tactics in the afternoon, they set off for Houston on the second day to start the three consecutive away.

   On the 25th, after Liu Xiu woke up in the morning to extract the simulation training results, the good news came!

   "Congratulations to the host for raising the three-point evaluation from 91 to 92."

  Three-pointers go one step further!

   At noon, another piece of good news. Relying on the past three consecutive victories, he averaged 31.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 10 assists and 2.7 steals per game, and he won the Player of the Week award for the fourth time this season.

  The winner of the Eastern Conference is James, who also won all 3 games, averaging 22 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3.7 steals per game.

   What's interesting is that James averaged a triple-double this week, but didn't have a triple-double.

   Not enough assists in two games, not enough rebounds in one game, human quasi-triple-double essence has been hammered.

   It’s hard to say anything else. Liu Xiu saw James’ stats and felt that KING really didn’t have much obsession with triple-doubles. Even if he averaged a triple-double last season, he couldn’t arouse this guy’s desire in this regard.

   Originally, he thought that the young old Zhan would start the triple-double mode.

   At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Rockets 98 to 94 away.

  Liu Xiu made 10 of 23 shots and made 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. He performed well.

  But he excitedly shot 4 three-pointers and all irons...

   Not only did he perform poorly on three-pointers tonight, Ray Allen also made 1 of 5 shots, but Ray Allen made 7 of 17 shots and scored 21 points on 7 of 7 free throws. His performance was not bad.

  The main reason is that Granger and Hamilton defended very well, and Varejao also did a great job of assisting defense. The Trail Blazers team made 4 of 16 three-pointers tonight.

Fortunately, the defense was strong. Bynum was defended with only 6 of 15 shots, 15 points and 11 rebounds. In addition to Granger's 21 points and Hamilton's 20 points, he could not match Liu Xiu's 28 points. , Ray Allen's 21 points, Hill's 14 points, and the outlaw's 15 points.

   On the 26th, the Trail Blazers challenged the Spurs back-to-back away, 104 to 111. The Trail Blazers lost away and their 6-game winning streak ended.

   This schedule made Liu Xiu feel Stern's "transferring love". Although there are so many back-to-back consecutive fights against strong opponents every year, it is also a point to watch, but these two teams are too much.

   Ginobili scored 39 points tonight, Duncan scored 25 points and 9 rebounds, Parker scored 16 points and 9 assists. The Spurs played 11 players tonight, all scoring.

  Liu Xiu made 16 of 36 shots tonight, including 5 of 12 three-pointers and 10 of 12 free throws. He scored 16 points in the final quarter and 47 points in the game.

  This season, he played against the Spurs twice, with 1 win and 1 loss.

  …

   On the 27th, Liu Xiu came to Minneapolis with the team. It was the end of February, and it was still the same here, and it was so cold!

  Not long after he arrived at the hotel, the little apprentice came, excited to take him to see the beautiful winter lake view of Minneapolis.

   This, Liu Xiu has been looking forward to for a long time. After Yi Jianlian joined the Timberwolves, he even talked about it with his young apprentice.

As a result, the little apprentice bought a sightseeing ticket for nothing, and was dragged by his master who was too cold to play games in the room for half the night. The ticket was taken by Randolph to meet the college students he had an appointment with. Later, the master helped him pay the room fee to open a room Room, let him stay overnight in the hotel.

Moreover, this master with a big heart, opened the legendary water bed room, the one with special decoration, and he even asked for a takeaway phone from Brother Diao and stuffed it into his hand with a smirk on his face. The apprentice tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, his heart itched so badly that he fell asleep at two or three o'clock when he was too sleepy.

  Thanks to him setting the alarm clock, otherwise the pre-match meeting the next morning would be missed.

   On February 28, 2009, at 7:40 p.m., Liu Xiu led his teammates into the Target Center court.

   Immediately after the home team Timberwolves home.

   "Minnesota Timberwolves, 25 wins and 32 losses, averaging 97.7 points per game, conceding 98.6 points per game..."

  Liu Xiu looked at the information of the opposite team, the records and statistics were not good.

  However, from 5 wins and 15 losses at the beginning, to 25 wins and 32 losses, it is very good. In the past 37 games, they have a record of 20 wins and 17 losses, which can be regarded as coming out of the quagmire.

  The Timberwolves came out of adversity with three key changes.

  One is a coaching change. With the addition of Nate McMillan, the Timberwolves coaching staff has become stronger.

The second is the addition of Blake. During his time in the Timberwolves, he averaged 11 points and 6.5 assists per game, and averaged two three-pointers per game with a 42% three-point shooting rate. The best pick-up point for Pau Gasol.

In addition, Yi Jianlian brought vitality to the bench lineup. He averaged 25 minutes per game, scored 1.2 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 45% and a three-point shooting rate of 37.6%, and averaged 12.2 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist per game. .

The little apprentice listened to the master's advice, and at this stage, he has polished his basic skills and played a supporting role. He refused to listen to the manager's outrageous suggestion of "playing a big name and starting the game". He seized the opportunity during the rotation stage and performed quite well. He became the No. 4 of the Timberwolves. scorer.

The strongest of the Timberwolves is naturally the three stars-Roy, who has an ability rating of 90, averaging 22.6 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game; Gasol, who has a 90 rating of 90 abilities, averaging 18.8 points, 11 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game; averaging 13.1 points per game Luol Deng with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks.

The current relationship between the two teams is not bad. Blake is very grateful to his old club for sending him to the right position. The previous unhappiness has also been resolved. He won the championship before and learned how to be a leader with the warden... everything that comes to mind now Is good.

  Liu Xiu and Yi Jianlian are deeply in love with each other, and Gasol wants to **** his brother...

The preparation time before the game is over soon, and the game is about to start. Liu Xiu replicated his talent, and his teammate must be Ray Allen's "quick shot". Even if he learned it and really accelerated it, as long as the talent copied from Ray Allen is still this, he will still choose to copy Ray Allen.

  Hard bonus shooting speed, so easy to use.

  The opponent originally planned to copy Blake, but when he received the reminder to copy the talent, there was a new reminder...

   "The great magician... There are Mamba players in the opponent team: Yellow Mamba Brandon Roy..."

  (end of this chapter)
