On June 29, 2006, Liu Xiu’s parents took the Paul Allen from Portland to BJ.

After seeing his parents off, Liu Xiu asked his boss's secretary to help him thank his boss.

The secretary said politely: "Warden, you don't have to be too polite. You have earned face for the boss. Don't take these little things to heart."

What Liu Xiu heard was, "Look how nice our boss treats you."

This time the big dog owner offered to lend him a plane. Liu Xiu agreed and already made his decision. He responded: "I understand, we are our own people... By the way, please help me tell Paul that I and Paul

Bill has discussed it and plans to renew the contract for three years."

The secretary was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't speak clearly for a while, and walked away after saying a few words.

Although he is the secretary-general, he doesn't care about business-related matters at all. He only needs to be responsible for making the boss happy, such as organizing a party and inviting middle-aged female celebrities who are still attractive to the boss... As long as he does these things well

, it doesn’t matter how much money is spent or how many resources are used, as long as the boss is happy, he can keep his job with a good salary.

The good news that the boss wants to hear most at the moment is naturally Liu Xiu's contract extension.

Watching the secretary leave quickly, Anne Hathaway asked curiously: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to wait until the rookie contract is over and get the biggest contract you can get?"

Liu Xiu responded: "One moment and another. At that time, I didn't know that I would win two consecutive championships now."

"Does this have anything to do with your renewal?" Anne Hathaway was puzzled.

"My contract will expire next summer. If I renew it now, it will help me defend my title next season."

"But I read in the news that if you don't renew your contract, you can put more pressure on the team and force them to make more signings."

"The big dog doesn't need to put pressure on him, he is willing to spend 100 million every year..."

"You called your boss that again... Haha, I heard that your boss was very proud after knowing the reason why you called him that." Anne Hathaway laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth and continued laughing.

"Who wouldn't want to become a big dog owner..."

"That's right...but since it doesn't matter whether you renew the contract or not, why not wait until next year? You can get a little more money."

"We have won two consecutive championships. Those powerful players and veterans who are eager to win the championship rarely regard us as their first target.

But no one can guarantee that the team they join can win the championship, so if I renew my contract and let them feel that we have the ability to compete for the championship for a long time in the future, the probability of choosing us will be higher. Even the dynasty has shouted out, and I will too.

You have to sacrifice a little money to help the team..."

…

It has been a week since the finals ended.

Liu Xiu kept his word. He scored 8 three-pointers in G6 and broke the historical record. He scored 39 points and 12 assists in a single game and led his team to defeat the Pistons 4-2 to win the championship and complete the defense of the title.

He just won the championship well. When he was presenting the award, he said, "Let's do it again next year." This shocked the coaches and teammates.

But it was a shock. After I came back to my senses and heard the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, everyone felt that... it was quite exciting!

Liu Xiu, who completed his title defense, won two consecutive FMVPs, and won MVP+FMVP in a single season, is in the limelight for a while.

That’s right, no one mentioned the finals label of ‘G6 God’ that he always cherished.

But he really has a label that everyone generally recognizes in the finals-three axes in the opening game.

It was said that he ‘made crazy shots at the beginning in order to help the team solve the problem of a slow offensive start’.

This label can't be said to be bad, but the warden is not so depressed that he even snatched the nickname of parallel import number one sugar man!

Later, the team celebration banquet, the championship parade, the activities organized by Paul Allen, the local flower festival promotion... He was the protagonist and the focus of the camera. It was only in the past two days that people's attention shifted to the draft.

Take some time off.

The dream season is now completely over, and he has begun to prepare for the new season.

The fact that he renewed his contract early is the greatest help he can bring to the team.

On the other side, after the secretary got Liu Xiu's promise to renew his contract, he first contacted Bill Duffy, and after confirming that Liu Xiu was not being moved and talking nonsense, he informed Paul Allen of the news.

Paul Allen immediately discussed with the management and coaching staff and unanimously decided to reveal the news.

…

He only told Paul Allen's secretary that he wanted to renew his contract in the morning, and it had already become hot news in the afternoon. This was what Liu Xiu expected.

In the evening, he, Anne Hathaway, Qing'er, their two cubs and their younger brother watched the live broadcast of the draft together.

At the beginning, because the NBA did not accept high school students to participate in the draft, Oden, Durant and others were not eligible to participate. In addition, Horford, Noah and others chose to stay in college. All major media were hyping that this year's draft resources were even greater than in 2000.

To be lacking.

But after the finals, the media again hyped these draft picks.

Introductions of popular players participating in the draft were played on the TV screen.

Radmanovic, known as the 'plus version of Webber'; Adam Morrison, the 'modern Bird'; Sheldon Williams, the 'LeBron James who went to college'; Gay,

'Tracy McGrady who went to college'...Liu Xiu also saw Randy Foye who used him as a model.

He felt that the templates reporters gave these people were quite interesting...at least they were funny.

He is still very interested in this draft.

Because the ownership of the draft picks is very different from what he remembers.

In his memory, the Raptors had the No. 1 pick this year, but in this time and space, the Raptors traded Carter for Milicic to form the "Twin Towers with the Most Potential". Three years later, they have already made it to the playoffs.

strength.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the draft began.

David Stern walked onto the stage and started with a flurry. After enjoying the boos in the square garden, he opened the envelope and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2006 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets selected...Marcus Aldridge from the University of Texas at Austin!"

The Hornets did not pay attention to the Roman little Chariot Bargnani who was the favorite to be the No. 1 pick from Europe.

Liu Xiu was not surprised by this. Aldridge was recommended by O'Neal, and Aldridge was a famous training fanatic when he was a student. He has outstanding physical condition, solid basic skills, and hard work. In this small draft year, most teams won

He will be selected with the No. 1 pick.

Judging from the draft report of Roman Chariot, the Raptors originally selected him in time and space out of pure gambling mentality, hoping to win the lottery and look forward to scratching out the next Nowitzki.

However, the Hornets should also have a betting mentality, but they did not choose Bargnani and made a safe choice... I guess they were heartbroken by Australia's Duncan.
