157. Fighting the Grizzlies Again

"Warden is great, he is very good, I am willing to put him in the discussion of the best rookie, he is no worse than Anthony and James, I know this, I knew it from the beginning, but we really don't have a place for him here.

I recommended him to the Lakers..."

After coming to Memphis for a night's rest, Liu Xiu saw Logo Man's video interview yesterday on the morning of the 28th... He was curious, would Logo Man's disciple Mickey Mouse squeak in anger when he heard this?

Is it okay to be stabbed in the back by a teacher?

But Liu Xiu can understand that the logo man is really losing his temper.

There is no way, who made him the warden... No, the general is too good?

The most important thing is that the owner of the Trail Blazers doesn't care about the attention and market value Liu Xiu brings, but the owner of the Grizzlies does!

Why did you go to so much trouble to move from Vancouver to Memphis?

Sponsoring the University of Memphis and advertising for what?

Sell ​​more tickets!

From a tourism perspective, Memphis, full of southern American style, is no worse than Portland.

The women here have a strong style. They work in the fields during the day and can vent their desires by collecting money on the roadside at night. They are proactive... They are a favorite among bearded people and tourists from Asia.

But they held Liu Xiu for more than ten hours, and finally gave Liu Xiu to Paul Allen, who was not short of money.

The logo man is a bit stressed...

Fortunately, the fans and management have different views.

The fans have no feelings for Liu Xiu. I have to say that they only have negative emotions. In their perception, Liu Xiu has never been their player, and they were ridiculed because of Liu Xiu's performance.

In this way, the better Liu Xiu's performance, the deeper their dislike for Liu Xiu!

In terms of management, it pays more attention to local fans than bringing tourist resources and peripheral sales to the city. More than 80% of the tickets are purchased locally.

So the logo man can still stand it.

It's just that I really need to change my focus - I'm actually not that blind.

After looking at the fun of others, Liu Xiu focused on himself.

Last night, he tried two hours of training on 'leg explosive power (emergency braking skills)'. This is definitely very important for the development of his personal offensive ability.

But right now, there are too many things he needs to learn and can learn.

"First make a good training plan..."

…

At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced that this year's All-Star voting has come to an end.

At the same time, the NBA officially announced the new Player of the Week award.

This time, it was not Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu failed to complete the feat of winning the Best of the Week award for three consecutive months.

But another guy from the Trail Blazers got the award!

Relying on his performance of averaging 26.3 points and 14.7 rebounds per game in the past week and leading the team to win 4 games, Randolph won last week's Western Conference Player of the Week award!

In the East, Marbury, who was sold cheaply by the Suns, went on a rampage. In the 4 games after joining the Knicks, he averaged 22.5 points and 12 assists per game, shooting 54.8% from the field and 37.6% from three-point range, leading the team to 3 wins and 1 win.

Negative record.

Randolph was so excited after winning the award!

In the afternoon, in the visiting team lounge at FedEx Arena, Randolph received the trophy and was so happy that his flesh was shaking.

After receiving the trophy, Randolph put his arm around Liu Xiu's shoulders and called him brother.

This is the first trophy in his NBA career!

The competitor he defeated was Kevin Garnett!

In the past week, Garnett led his team to 3 wins and 0 losses, averaging 20.6 points, 15.3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 blocks per game, continuing to be impressive.

Without the last 34 points to raise his scoring average to over 25 points per game, Randolph would most likely not win Player of the Week.

Liu Xiu smiled in response.

Randolph saw that Liu Xiu was worried today, thought about it, understood, and said: "Warden, don't worry, I believe you can win the vote, and even if you can't win, you will also be an All-Star starter.

"

"Your words are really just one sentence..."

Liu Xiu complained.

How could you not care?

Randolph actively used his cerebellum, trying to think of a way to make Liu Xiu not so anxious.

Then, half an hour later, at 1:30, Randolph saw Liu Xiu lying on the sofa in the visiting team's locker room at FedEx Arena and falling asleep.

The outlaws stood by to help the warden sleep... Nothing was more important than taking a nap.

Randolph, who had no idea how many brain cells he had lost, was going crazy!

Doesn't this look like he's anxious?

…

At 7:40 pm, both teams entered the FedEx Arena in Memphis.

Liu Xiu was the first to run out of the tunnel and enjoyed the most enthusiastic boos.

The system prompt is coming!

"Bear Slayer: Your Retribution Is Me" series of missions.

Goal: The host needs to help the Trail Blazers gain a head-to-head advantage when facing the Grizzlies in the regular season this season.

Reward: 1500 healing points for each victory."

'We only played three times with the Grizzlies this season, 2 away and 1 home. If we win this time, we won't win the next game. The task has been completed, but if we can win, we will win. One more win will give us 1,500 healing points...

…'

After the entrance ceremony for the warden and the general to lead the army, the home team players entered the venue.

Now, the entire league is trying to get rid of the Suns, and the Suns are also clearing out those high-quality role players who are not suitable for D'Antoni.

"Jack Tsakalidis, 24 years old, 218 cm, 129 kg, C, ability evaluation 62... Average playing time 13.3 minutes, 4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1 block... Salary status: 1.58 million, 4 contracts to be executed

11.6 million per year.”

Looking at backup center Chakalidis standing on one side...is the man with the logo trying to defeat the Lakers in the first round and making a trade?

Last summer, the Suns completed an early contract extension with Tsakalidis with an annual average of US$2.9 million and a four-year contract worth US$11.6 million.

At that time, I guess the Suns themselves felt that their combination of Marbury, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire would develop into a championship team. This lineup looked so good. The oldest

Marbury is less than 27 years old.

Then they will inevitably meet the Lakers in the playoffs. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Chakalidis relied on O'Neal to get a big contract that he should not have gotten.

Now, this player falls into the hands of the Grizzlies.

Surprised by the Grizzlies' ambition, Liu Xiu focused on the main players on the opposite side.

Gasol, White Chocolate, Mike Miller, Bill Wells, Posey, Swift, Lorenzen Wright, Shane Battier, Earl Watson, Beau Outlaw... this

Ten people rotate, Liu Xiu wants to say something - the logo man is awesome!

Compared with another Lakers legend, the Clippers have also been bad for many years and have accumulated a bunch of high-ranking players, but the Clippers only have a bunch of high-ranking players.

The logo man only joined the Grizzlies in 2002, and in two summers he turned his talent into strength!

…

Sitting on the bench, Liu Xiu felt the fanatical atmosphere of the city of 'fit women'.

"Jianfu" is not a derogatory term, but is used to praise the hard work and enthusiasm of the women here.

Furthermore, this place is also filled with strong folk customs of the southern United States. Men must be more passionate and unrestrained, otherwise they will be looked down upon by women.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is still the same, and the Grizzlies sent out the starting lineup of White Chocolate, Mike Miller, Posey, Lorenzen Wright, and Gasol.

After the game started, the two teams fought a fierce defensive battle.

Initially, the Grizzlies had the upper hand.

Maurice Cheeks made timely adjustments and replaced the Outlaws with Miles, strengthening his defense and defense switching capabilities. The two teams entered a stalemate.

The Outlaws were substituted after less than 3 minutes of play and sat on the bench, unable to hide their frustration.

A gentle voice reached the ears of the outlaw - "Don't be discouraged, you are still a rookie..."

The outlaw gangsters turned around and saw that it was their warden, the general!

Liu Xiu sat next to the outlaw.

At this moment, in the eyes of the outlaws, Liu Xiu looked like an angel.
To be continued...
