33. Alternative Summer League Overlord (4500 words)(1/2)
Although Anne Hathaway's management team can't be said to be in dire straits these days, it definitely feels like it's in a lot of trouble.
Romance has almost no impact on NBA player Liu Xiu.
But for Anne Hathaway, the impact is not small.
However, this was a matter of mutual consent, and Liu Xiu had done nothing wrong. After discussing with his management team, Anne Hathaway could only deal with it coldly.
Who would have imagined that Liu Xiu suddenly made such remarks...
Watching the news trend begin to change, there are a lot more news saying that she is unkind, pitiful, and scumbag... Anne Hathaway's mood is very complicated.
It was just a date at a special time and under special circumstances.
This is normal in the American world.
Anne Hathaway's assistant Ellie Sanders sighed: "Anne, our beauty is really charming. Did he say this deliberately for your career?"
"Maybe..."
Anne Hathaway thinks so too.
During the brief contact, although she didn't know Liu Xiu very well, she could tell that Liu Xiu was not the kind of person who was not easy to use his brain.
Anne Hathaway shook her head and said calmly: "No matter what, it doesn't matter. I am an actor, and he is a handsome player surrounded by countless beauties..."
There are more good-looking actresses, more good-looking men, and there are more than a dozen NBA lottery shows every year...
…
On Liu Xiu's side, some gossipy news came out during the three-day break, but it basically had no impact on him.
On August 2, the game between the Trail Blazers and Clippers was about to start at Delta Air Lines Arena in Salt Lake City.
Liu Xiu moved his body on the sidelines, attracting cheers from the female fans at the scene.
"Jace, why do you still have so many female fans? No, there seem to be more!" Travis Outlaw was envious.
"I'm a little surprised too. Maybe... they all want me?"
He’s so thick-skinned! But Travis Outlaw has to admit, he’s really cool-skinned.
Liu Xiu was also quite surprised. After he said those words yesterday, Bill Duffy went to the hotel where the Trail Blazers were staying at night and kept complaining that his fan support would decline.
It is rare for a Trail Blazers player to have so many fans supporting him, and they are also female fans with strong spending power.
But the actual situation is not like that.
But it doesn't matter, Liu Xiu's attention is not here. When he is on the court, his attention is on the game and the opponent's players.
The Clippers selected two centers this year, one is Chris Kaman, who has had some calls for the No. 1 pick, and the other is 18-year-old Greek Shark Sof Chris Sksenitis.
The Greek Shark cannot play in the NBA due to his contract, but the Clippers have another rookie, Matt Barnes, who was selected by the Grizzlies with the 17th overall pick in the second round last year.
Liu Xiu's attention was on Matt Barnes, because as soon as he looked at the tough-looking small forward, he found that the other person was staring at him. The two of them stared at each other, and no one wanted to recognize him.
Damn it, whoever looks away first is the dog!
Travis Outlaw came next to Liu Xiu: "Jess, look, the players on the opposite side are really jealous of you and are targeting you. This guy is not a good person. Last year, he got into a fight with his opponent in the summer league.
He was waived by the Cavaliers, and no team was willing to give him a contract for one year."
Jealousy is normal.
The grudges between people are sometimes very simple. Jealousy is one of the reasons that easily leads to grudges.
It doesn't make sense, maybe Matt Barnes doesn't even know the actress Anne Hathaway.
But as a young player, Liu Xiu can be so showy, can be in the news, can be... it is very enviable.
What Liu Xiu said yesterday was widely reported. Not so many people knew about it originally, but now basically all North American athletes know about it.
The circle is just that big.
Hearing that the high school students seemed to be gloating about their misfortune, Liu Xiu chose to be a dog, tilted his neck and looked up at Travis Outlaw and said: "You are all small forwards..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Travis Outlaw didn't understand why, and then saw Liu Xiu turning his head and shouting towards the opposite side...
"Matt Barnes on the opposite side, look here, this is our team's talented high school small forward. He is going to beat you tonight! Just wash your ass and wait!"
After saying that, Liu Xiu tilted his neck again and looked up at Travis Outlaw and said: "Come on, fight hard, beat him up. If he hits you, I will help you. Believe me, he will hit you."
No matter how many times I hit you, I'll pay him back twice as much."
Travis Outlaw was stunned - thank you!
He regretted it so much. He regretted just having the idea of recognizing the guy in front of him as the boss once again!
He swore that he would never recognize this guy as his boss in his entire life!
…
Liu Xiu's sudden provocation before the game...provoked his teammates, which shocked the players, coaches...and even the referee.
Is this...looking for conflict?
Referees should be cautious. If there are fights in summer leagues, it will affect career development!
One of the people involved, Matt Barnes, was confused. He said he was stimulated, but he was speechless.
It is very common for people to glare at each other before the game and even make harsh words. Liu Xiu’s behavior...
Anyway, Trail Blazers assistant coach Kevin Plitchar is not feeling well.
Think about it, when Liu Xiu first came, although he was not a good baby, he was still pretty good.
But now...'Our team is really cursed? Who comes and who learns bad things?'
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the Trail Blazers and Clippers started.
The summer league play styles of the two teams are very different. The Trail Blazers are good at offense and the Clippers are good at defense.
This is the difference brought about by the characteristics of the NBA players of the two teams.
For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu organizes the offense, Travis Outlaw is the main attacker, and Matt Carroll takes the shots and has a decent setter ability. If the game is played around three people, it will definitely be offensive.
Winning all 4 preliminaries, the trio became more and more confident in their cooperation. Although Liu Xiu often 'hit' his teammates, he would always mention 'how it is in the NBA.' In the Rocky Mountain Summer League, the trio was very confident.
These are the 'Big Three' of this event!
As for the Clippers, both Barnes and Kaman are defensive players. One is at the forward and the other is at the center. It is easy to set up a defensive system.
The college players of the two teams are not the top players, which means that they are basically not the core of their respective college teams. They are very good at team offense and defense, and they are also players selected by the two teams around the rookies. After the preliminaries, there are
Time to adjust your tactics and play even better than in the preliminaries!
Judging from the scene, the Trail Blazers had the advantage after the game started.
But the score has been unable to come up!
Defensive teams are resilient, and this is reflected in the Clippers.
Although I don’t know why, since the high school rookie on the opposite side provoked him, Barnes, who has a tough personality, naturally had to fight Travis Outlaw properly.
Kaman is a boring person, but he also knows how to show off himself. The summer league is not important, but it is not important, but if he can't play in unimportant games, it will be difficult for him, who thinks he is the best player in the 2003 class, to accept it.
When the second official timeout entered the first quarter at 6 minutes and 11 seconds, the Trail Blazers led the Clippers by 4 points 11-7, and Liu Xiu was replaced.
Kevin Plitcha replaced Liu Xiu for two purposes, one is to let Liu Xiu rest for a while.
Another is to compare the difference whether Liu Xiu is present or not.
At the end of the first quarter, taking advantage of 4 minutes after Liu Xiu was replaced, the Clippers played a wave of 8 to 3! 15 to 14, the Clippers overtook the Trail Blazers by 1 point!
In the second quarter, Kevin Plitchar replaced Liu Xiu again, and Travis Outlaw, a young high school student who was young, strong and energetic, continued to play.
The Trail Blazers have always been outstanding in their ability to develop players. Liu Xiu is characterized by his strong tactical execution ability, while Travis Outlaw needs a lot of playing time to get used to the rhythm of adult games.
After the start of the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitcha chatted on the sidelines.
"I discovered when we played against the Cavaliers that Jayce has a pretty good defensive mobilization ability." Maurice Cheeks said with a somewhat proud tone.
Being fooled by this guy again, Kevin Pritchar smiled and said: "Your tone seems to be that you have such ability..."
"I already have it. I was a superstar back then, unlike a role player like you."
"..."
Damn it, can we still have a good chat?
Why are you becoming more and more... showy?
A thought flashed through Kevin Plitchar's mind... Did Liu Xiu come to them and learn bad things from them? Or will their team become even more excessive because of Liu Xiu?
Anyway, Maurice Cheeks has become more and more fond of telling heart-wrenching truths recently.
Kevin Pritchar's thought flashed across his mind, just for a moment.
If Liu Xiu knew what Kevin Pritchar was thinking now, he would tell him one word that could easily relieve his grief and anger - Fan is dead...
…
On the court, after the two teams played a game, they both had a certain understanding of each other's characteristics, and also had a clear feeling for the opponent's competitive state tonight.
To be continued...
