"Annie, do you think we should invest or open our own sports equipment brand..."

During lunch time, Liu Xiu and Anne Hathaway talked on the phone. His girlfriend was thinking of ways to start a business this year, but she didn’t know where to start.

Today, Liu Xiu has an idea to develop peripheral products!

In his previous life, when he wanted to learn to play basketball, he pestered his family to buy a complete set of basketball equipment. But after he really learned how to play, he put on shorts, a vest, and sneakers and went straight to the court to play. When he was sweating, he went shirtless.

The idea came about because of the ankle brace he just got.

"Big Black Bear's Ankle Guard: When the host performs a back-up single, it can always start as quickly as possible after turning around. (Note: It is affected by the physical strength at the time.)"

Looking again at the bonus details of this newly obtained equipment, he still felt excited!

For a small player like him, post-up play actually relies on explosive acceleration, but he doesn't have it, so he can easily be flanked if his post-up shot is too far away from the basket.

With his selfless style of play, he doesn't care if he is flanked. He makes good use of his opponent's flanking attack to distribute the ball.

But as FMVP, he has more and more trust in his personal abilities. Given the same opportunity, he is more willing to take action himself, except for certain circumstances.

For example, if the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer is given to Ray Allen, it is naturally better; for single shots from the outside, the flying squirrel is more preferred; for low-post attacks, Randolph is the best choice.

Now with this equipment, his back-up scoring efficiency will become even higher!

Even if he focuses on organizing offenses, his back-up turns and starts will become faster. If the opponent wants to block him, they will have to arrange faster position adjustments and make more advanced movements. His organization of offenses will be more powerful.

When it came to the team training match in the afternoon, Liu Xiu couldn't wait to try out the bonus effect. Not to mention, the sudden increase in acceleration after turning around was not something he was used to, but he got better after trying it a few more times.

He also understood the meaning of the remark 'affected by physical strength'. Speed ​​will definitely be affected by physical strength, and the fastest starting speed is the fastest speed that can be achieved after running under the current physical strength.

But no matter what, it is a huge improvement for his back-up play!

In fact, it was quite surprising for him to break through to the top level in low post play. His post play does not seem to have any personal characteristics until now.

However, he learned many skills from top post-up masters, completed the connection between high and low post-up, post-up application skills, etc... He still successfully improved the post-up to the top.

Just like what he thought before, since he has embarked on a path without personal characteristics from the beginning of his studies, he simply doesn't have personal characteristics, and just combines the strengths of everyone and does whatever suits him best. There is no need to stick to personal characteristics.

'.

…

After the team training in the afternoon, the pick-and-roll training team continued to conduct four groups of five-minute continuous training. This time, Fred Jones was replaced by Outlaw, who took the initiative to apply to join.

It just so happens that Fred Jones is transforming into a functional player with single characteristics. Last season he played 65 games and averaged 6.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals. He was quite comprehensive, but this year the Trail Blazers don't need this type.

substitute shooting guard, because they have Ray Allen, an all-around starting shooting guard.

Both Outlaw and Stevenson dislike each other. The teammates expected this. It can be seen from Stevenson's character that this guy is definitely eyeing the starting position. Naturally, Outlaw is very afraid of him.

.

No one cares about the hostility between the two, if you want to fight, just fight!

The old teammates have nothing to worry about the Outlaws' potential and strength. Instead, the veterans regard Stevenson's challenge as the motivation for the Outlaws to move forward.

However, during the extra practice this afternoon, several teammates were still shocked.

Compared with the extra training in the morning, Liu Xiu's back hitting has improved again!

If there is an improvement in three to five days, they can accept it, but only five or six hours have passed between morning and afternoon, and they can feel the progress... Liu Xiu has gained hundreds of healing points in this wave, and he is in a good mood.

Hello.

When I got home in the evening, Liu Xiu became a "child" again, and her parents were here!

Men, when they stay with their parents, seem to get younger. Those who do street census will ask the people on the street to wait until the adults go home, even if they are almost 30 years old at this time.

His parents had arrived in Portland in the afternoon, and he originally planned to pick them up by himself, but before his mother arrived, she asked her brother to pick them up so that he could focus on work.

Liu Xiu felt that his uncle was really miserable, his bloodline was suppressed, he was like a little chicken in front of his mother, he was so cowardly.

His parents chose to come at this time purely because of the "China Derby" tomorrow. Otherwise, it would have been two months before they came to celebrate the New Year together. He deeply felt what it meant to be a biological child.

Compared with last year, Liu Xiu and his father now have more to talk about. His father has become a real old man who understands football, but he easily gets into arguments when he disagrees, but this seems more normal to Liu Xiu's mother.

Yes, this is normal between father and son.

In the evening, they also went to see a new house under construction. Recently, the cost of building materials and labor costs have dropped significantly. Building materials have become unsalable. Many construction companies have less and less work. Although housing prices have

It is still rising, but it is mostly driven by the continuous dismantling of loan contracts... Nothing else is important to Liu Xiu. What is important is that the cost of repairing the house at this time is much lower than originally expected, mainly labor.

The construction industry has begun to experience a surplus of human resources.

Anne Hathaway originally estimated that she would be able to move into a new house during the Chinese New Year, but both Liu Xiu and his mother said that it would take several months before they could move in after the decoration was completed. After popularizing the science of formaldehyde safety, which has become more important in China in recent years, Anne-

After hearing this, Hathaway felt it made sense and agreed.

Liu Xiu also discovered some minor problems with Americans, such as common sense that Chinese people think everyone should know, but many Americans don't know.

For example, many Americans think that Texas is a country. For example, regarding the pollution problem in house decoration, if Americans do not specifically understand, 99% of them do not know that there is formaldehyde. This is definitely not because American decoration materials do not have formaldehyde, but because of the lack of formaldehyde.

No one from the country to businessmen will take the initiative to mention this thing.

Today, Anne Hathaway feels that she has learned something again and feels unhealthy. After renovating her house in Los Angeles, she moved in directly.

But what makes her most miserable is that her parents-in-law’s English has improved much faster than her Chinese!

…

On November 30, 2005, the first game day of the new season between the Trail Blazers and the Pistons arrived.

Today when he got up and took a shower and went downstairs, the whole family was already dressed and dressed very grandly. If he hadn't known that he had work to do today, he almost mistakenly thought that his family members were infected with Mamba disease.

After eating breakfast, surrounded by so many people, Liu Xiu quickly swallowed it in two bites. Not long after, at close to 8 o'clock, the filming team from the Imperial Terrace came, and Liu Xiu and his group set off for the Rose Garden Arena.

When we arrived at the Rose Garden Arena, we saw that Yao Ming’s family was also being photographed.

Knowing that Liu Xiu's parents would be coming, the court had already contacted them and started shooting today morning. Liu Xiu originally thought that his parents would be very resistant, but after they heard about it, they ran around to buy clothes, so they got dressed up today.

Football watching trip...

When asked by a reporter about his feelings about playing the 'Chinese Derby' again, Liu Xiu responded: "I really feel how unprecedented the unprecedented enthusiasm for domestic basketball mentioned in the news is..."

Yesterday, Liu Xiu saw many Chinese faces outside the arena. Today, the small square outside the Rose Garden Arena was almost 'occupied' by Chinese people.

Sure enough, record is still king!

In the past two seasons, although the Chinese derby was also very lively, it was far from what it is today.

In the past, people in China supported Yao Ming just because Yao Ming is a Chinese player and Yao Ming is personally great. Now with the support of his record, Yao Ming's popularity and influence have reached a new level.

This China Derby has attracted unprecedented attention and influence among Chinese people. Judging from the enthusiasm of the fans, it may not even be comparable to last year's Olympic Games, because at that time I didn't know that such good results could be achieved, but now we can see

Liu Xiu ranked first in the west, and Yao Ming ranked first in the east.

During the interview, except for some irrelevant topics, most of the interview content was very official. Liu Xiu's answers were quite casual. He knew that if he accidentally turned on the healing mode on such an occasion, the imperial TV station would probably not broadcast it.

When we arrived at the training ground, our teammates were also being interviewed, which lasted until 10 o'clock.

Although the start of the pre-game meeting was delayed by an hour, the Trail Blazers were almost ready yesterday and this matter was decided in advance.

The enthusiasm of Chinese fans and Chinese media for this game far exceeded the imagination of the Trail Blazers management, coaching staff, and players.

The Chinese derby in the past two seasons has been so lively that they felt it was exaggerated, and it was outrageous today!

Some media broke the news that the average ticket price for tonight's China Derby reached an astonishing $841, setting a new NBA regular season ticket price record for a single game in history and almost doubling the previous record!

The previous average price record for a regular season ticket held by Jordan during his retirement was less than $500.

This is only the official sales price of the Trail Blazers!

When it comes to ticket prices, Paul Allen has not done charity work, he has to earn what he deserves. The ticket price is high, but he also has face, and Portland fans are not short of money.

All of this makes the Trail Blazers players extremely excited.

In that ancient Eastern country with a population of more than one billion on the other side of the ocean, even if only one-tenth or one-twentieth of the people watch the live broadcast, that number is still more than the people in most countries.

Playing a game with so many fans watching, it would be so embarrassing if you don't play well!

…

The Rose Garden Arena tonight is extraordinarily different. There are 20,000 fans here, nearly half of whom are Chinese.

Liu Xiu looked at this scene at the entrance of the players' tunnel and was really not surprised.

There will always be a group of people in China who are not short of money...

The noisy day is over, and the game will start in a little while.

"Detroit Pistons, 12 wins and 2 losses, averaging 98.5 points per game, conceding 91.7 points per game...averaging 7.2 three-pointers per game, and shooting 39.1% from three-point range..."

The Pistons' data, compared with last season, are completely two teams.

The defense is still top-notch, but the pace is not as slow.

The biggest change is the three-pointer. He ranks fifth in the league in three-point field goals per game and third in the league in three-point field goal percentage!

Some of these changes were brought about by Yao Ming, but most of them were brought about by that man - Flip Saunders, who had forehead tattoos when he opened his eyes.

The Pistons have had no offensive system in the past two seasons. The changes Sanders has brought to the Pistons' offense are greater than replacing shotguns with cannons.

"Chauncy Billups, 29 years old, 191 cm, 92 kg, PG, ability evaluation 88, offense 81, defense 91...averaged 16 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal per game...shooting rate 40.6%, three

The shooting percentage was 44%, and the average number of three-pointers per game was 2.3..."
