Fortunately, he had sufficient tonnage, a stable center of gravity, and no weak legs. He sprinted past the spotlight without any embarrassment.

DJ’s introduction was really true. Liu Xiu decided to have a good chat with DJ after the game. If he can talk, talk more!

The 8th best player in the NBA provides wave after wave of healing value, and DJ takes the lead!

It's a pity that under the spotlight, you can't see the faces of people outside the spotlight. Liu Xiu really wants to know the expression of the master now.

After the Trail Blazers players ran out in a long line, the entrance ceremony ended and the lights came on. Players from the two teams came to the court to engage in greeting mode. Derek Anderson directly joined the ranks of the Trail Blazers players.

Lynch Hunter, who was wearing a compression garment to treat his back injury, and retired Van Horn and George Lynch also came to the court. It was soon time for the championship flag to be raised and championship rings to be awarded.

Most players of the Lakers expressed congratulations. Although they were opponents, most players were full of respect for last season's championship. It's not like they lost the championship. They didn't make the playoffs and got the third overall pick.

.

Of course not everyone is like this...

Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi were chatting when an uninvited guest from the top 8 in the league came to the two of them.

"Warden, congratulations, you won a championship." Kobe said congratulations, but his tone was not friendly.

Liu Xiuying said: "Thank you. Although there is only one championship, it is just the beginning. I think I will win at least 4 to 5 championships in the end, one more championship than you. I will also become the scoring leader of the Trail Blazers and become a team."

The team's tag... Hey, hey, don't leave..."

Wang Zhizhi smacked his lips, this compatriot who is the strongest in the basketball world is really awesome!

Wang Zhizhi couldn't find any adjectives, and he didn't want to use derogatory words to describe Liu Xiu, so he chose the word "powerful". However, although it was a helpless choice, he felt that this word was very suitable to describe Liu Xiu.

…

At 7:45 pm on November 1, 2005, Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen personally raised the 2004-2005 NBA championship flag after giving a passionate 3,000-word essay speech.

From time to time, the live TV cameras cut to the visiting team's bench to give Kobe Bryant a close-up.

Kobe stared closely at this championship banner. He did not want to avoid this scene, but looked directly at all of this. These are his motivations.

Then came the awarding of championship rings. Derek Anderson, Lynch Hunter, George Lynch, and Van Horn stood together with the 11 remaining players on the team, sparking cheers from the fans at the scene.

It was these 15 players that allowed Trail Blazers fans to have a dream playoff journey.

Paul Allen did everything by himself tonight, including awarding championship rings. After raising the championship flag, he went to make preparations. After the host said something that should be said, Paul Allen took 15

A hostess returned to the court and first presented rings to the 15 championships who had fought hard on the court.

Paul Allen personally came to present the ring, which made the Trail Blazers players and fans very excited.

Liu Xiu was the first to step forward to receive the championship ring. The moment Paul Allen happily opened the ring box, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment.

This thing is called a ring? It should be called a gem! It is obviously a gem wrapped with circles of precious metals and diamonds!

Okay, even if the warden opened his eyes and told lies and admitted that it was a championship ring, what the hell was the gemstone certificate sent by the hostess?

For the production cost of this year’s championship rings, the league has given 1.5 million US dollars, including the production costs of the rings for everyone including the owners, management, coaching staff, players, etc. If it is not enough, the team will have to contribute the money themselves.

Liu Xiu estimated that the cost of rings for these players alone was more than the US$1.5 million.

After thanking him and putting the ring on, Liu Xiu felt that it still looked very nice. It was definitely not because it was expensive...

After the 15 players got the rings, the coaches, trainers, team doctors, heads of other departments...it was still Paul Allen who presented the rings to them, and they had a great time.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers has the same championship ring. This is different from other teams. Even if the Lakers award championship rings, they are also required by the players, coaching staff, management, trainers, team doctors, etc.

Much cheaper.

After throwing away money until his hands were weak, Paul Allen's interest did not diminish. He took the microphone handed over by the host and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is my gift to everyone. Please take a look.

Towards the bottom of your chairs..."

Under the guidance of Paul Allen, the first fans who reached out took out a small box from under their seats...the ring box was the same as the boxes for the players on the field!

With the thought of 'No way', the fans opened the box and found a championship ring inside. Obviously this extremely crystal clear 'gem' was not a real gem, but a low-priced handicraft, and the price was not high.

, the entire ring including this exquisite box is estimated to be worth at most thirty or fifty US dollars, but this is an authentic championship ring given by the Trail Blazers!

Seeing someone else get the ring, other fans reached out to dig their crotches...

It's not about luck, everyone touched a box and got his own championship ring!

Paul Allen aggressively gave away dozens of gems with certificates... No, everyone on the team who was eligible to receive championship rings was treated equally and gave away championship rings that were estimated to be worth one or two hundred thousand dollars in hard value.

The Trail Blazers players were already talking about it, and everyone was shocked when they saw everyone in the audience had rings.

Even if other people's items are just ordinary handicrafts, they still cost tens of millions of dollars and are thrown away!

Randolph complained to Liu Xiu: "Boss, this is too much..."

Liu Xiu responded: "Yes, the staff are so tired! Twenty thousand chairs are all covered with rings... Do you think he paid overtime pay?"

Randolph:????

…

For the first time in NBA history, the start of a game was delayed due to the awarding of championship rings, and it happened tonight.

But let’s face it, the officials at the technical station and the referees had nothing to do, and the TV station was quite happy. After so many years of working in the basketball industry, this is the first time I have seen such a grand event as the Trail Blazers awarding championship rings.

Finally, Paul Allen's working time was over. He went through all the operations he could think of. There was really nothing left to do, so he reluctantly left the court and sat down on the sidelines.

Paul Allen's operations are breathtaking. Liu Xiu, for example, has even more admiration for the wealthy boss. He is really a basketball player who is driven by love.

However, although he was happy to receive the championship ring, he always felt a little bit of danger when he saw Paul Allen. He didn't know why...

After the award ceremony, Liu Xiu came to the sidelines. Anne Hathaway stood up, gave Liu Xiu a kiss, took away Liu Xiu's championship ring, and left Liu Xiu aside mercilessly to study the gemstone certificate with her sister-in-law.

The referee gave the two teams a few minutes of final preparation time. At 8:15 pm, 15 minutes after the live broadcast time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Kwame Brown easily defeated Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball.

The game begins!

Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced, and was calmer than several teammates. The moment he received the ball, he immediately entered the game state.

The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Deron, Kobe, Butler, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi.

The Trail Blazers sent out a starting combination of Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Kwame Brown.

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe extended the three-point line to press and defend Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu turned sideways and steadily withstood Kobe's impact.

Liu Xiu was a little regretful, thinking that the first attack of the new season could teach the little fat classmate.

This is a genius talent show based on his warden's template.

However, the fans were extremely excited when they saw this scene. The Warden attacked for the first time in the new season, against Kobe!

But unlike the one-on-one duel that fans expected, Liu Xiu moved steadily to the right side of the top arc under Kobe's pressure and defense, took a step away, and after getting a little distance from Kobe, Liu Xiu pulled horizontally to the right!

Pick and roll offense!

Kobe immediately retreated, allowing Kwame Brown to cut in, step off the line, and Odom, who had extended out to defend the pick-and-roll, pressed forward to defend Liu Xiu from the pick-and-roll and then shot.

During the summer, Kobe spent a lot of time staring at Liu Xiu, who was learning pick-and-rolls from Nash. With a teammate like Odom who was as flexible as a defender, Kobe came up with such a defensive method. His ability to respond to Kwame Brown was not enough, and his choice of running routes

Not good.

However, Liu Xiu did not retreat in fear when Odom pressed to defend, nor did he choose to change direction. Instead, he took the initiative to press towards the expanded Odom!

Odom had no choice but to retreat. Under the current rules, in a mobile confrontation above the free throw line, if both the offense and defense are suspected of fouling, the defensive side will usually be called.

When Kobe bypassed Kwame Brown and prepared to cooperate with Odom in defense, he found that the situation was different from what he expected!

Kobe had no choice but to make up for it, but Liu Xiu seized the gap, shot the ball quickly, and with tiny steps, squeezed through the gap between Kobe who was pressing up and Odom who was retreating!

However, the Lakers attach great importance to Liu Xiu's defense, especially in the first attack of the game. Liu Xiu just got into the mid-range between Kobe and Odom, and Wang Zhizhi had already stood between Liu Xiu and the basket!

There was Wang Zhizhi in front of him and Kobe Bryant was chasing after him. In this situation, Liu Xiu chose to pass the ball!

The first reaction of the Lakers players was that Liu Xiu passed the ball to Kwame Brown or Randolph, but it was not. Liu Xiu threw the ball back to the top arc. Ray Allen received the ball and turned around, before Deron could catch up and defend in place.

The ball was thrown...hit!

The fans first burst into enthusiastic cheers to cheer for the goal, but immediately some people felt a little weird.

The person the fans find strange is none other than their warden!

Warden's pick-and-roll breakout was introduced last season and is considered one of the commonly used offensive methods.

But the pick-and-roll offense at that time was about pick-and-roll breakthroughs to attract flankers and pass to open players. Not this time! This time, it was a real pick-and-roll offense!
