   Chapter 157 157. Fighting the Grizzlies again

"The warden is great, he's great, I'd put him in the Rookie of the Year discussion, he's no worse than Anthony and James, I know that, I knew it from the start, but we don't really have a place for him here, I recommended him to the Lakers..."

   Came to Memphis to rest for a night. On the morning of the 28th, Liu Xiu saw the video interview of Logo Man yesterday... He was very curious, would Logo Man's lover Mickey Mouse squeal with anger when he heard this?

  I got stabbed in the back by the teacher!

   But Liu Xiu can understand that the logo man really can't hold back.

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

   The most important thing is that the owner of the Blazers doesn't care about the attention and market value brought by Liu Xiu, and the owner of the Grizzlies cares a lot!

  It took a lot of trouble to move from Vancouver to Memphis, what do you want?

   Sponsor the University of Memphis, advertise, what do you want?

  Sell more tickets!

  From a tourist point of view, Memphis, which is full of southern American style, is no worse than Portland.

  The women here are sturdy, working in the fields during the day, and collecting money on the roadside at night to express their desires and be proactive... They are the favorites of tourists with beards and Asian regions.

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

  logo male pressure is a bit big...

  Fortunately, the fans and the management have different opinions.

  The fans have no feelings for Liu Xiu. They have to say that there are only negative emotions. In their cognition, Liu Xiu was never their player, and they were also ridiculed because of Liu Xiu's performance.

   In this way, the better Liu Xiu's performance, the more resentment they have towards Liu Xiu!

  In terms of management, more attention is paid to local fans than the tourist resources and surrounding sales brought to the city. More than 80% of the tickets are bought locally.

   So the logo man can stand it.

   Just really need a distraction - I'm not that blind.

  Looking at other people's fun, Liu Xiu focused on himself.

  Last night, he tried two hours of training on 'leg explosiveness (sudden stop braking technique)', which must be very important for the development of his personal offensive ability.

   But at the moment, he has too much to learn and can learn.

   "Make a good training plan first..."

  …

   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 a new issue of the Player of the Week Award.

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

   But another Blazers got the award!

   Relying on the performance of averaging 26.3 points and 14.7 rebounds in the past week, Randolph won the Western Conference Player of the Week award last week!

In the East, Marbury, who was sold by the Suns at a low price, ran wild. After joining the Knicks, he averaged 22.5 points and 12 assists per game in 4 games, with a shooting rate of 54.8% and a three-point shooting rate of 37.6%, leading his team to 3 wins and 1. Negative record.

   Randolph was so excited after winning the award!

   In the afternoon, in the visiting team's lounge at FedEx Arena, Randolph got the trophy, and his flesh was shaking with joy.

After    received the trophy, Randolph put his arms around Liu Xiu's shoulders, one brother at a time.

   This is the first trophy of his NBA career!

   The competitor he defeated was Kevin Garnett!

   In the past week, Garnett led the 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, and continued to be coquettish.

   If there is no last 34 points to raise the scoring average to more than 25 points, Randolph has a high probability of not winning the Player of the Week.

   Liu Xiu smiled in response.

Randolph saw that Liu Xiu had something on his mind today, thought about it, understood, and said, "You don't have to worry, warden, I believe you can win the vote, and even if you don't, you'll be an All-Star starter. "

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

   Liu Xiu complained.

How could    not care?

  Randolph actively activated his cerebellum, trying to find a way to make Liu Xiu less anxious.

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

   The extrajudicial fanatics stood by, protecting the warden to sleep... There is nothing more important than a nap.

   Randolph, who doesn't know how many brain cells died, is crazy!

   Does this Nima look anxious?

  …

   At 7:40 pm, FedEx Arena in Memphis, both sides of the game entered.

   Liu Xiu was the first to run out of the tunnel, enjoying the most enthusiastic boos.

   The system prompt is here!

   "Bear Slayer: Your retribution is my series of quests.

   Goal: The host needs to help the Trail Blazers gain a head-to-head advantage against the Grizzlies this season.

  Reward: 1500 healing points per win. "

'We have only played 3 times with the Grizzlies this season, 2 away and 1 home. We won this time. If we won't win the next game, the mission has been completed, but if we can win, we will win. One more win is 1500 healing points... '

   After the entrance ceremony of the warden and the general leading the army, the players of the home team entered.

   Now, the whole league is thinking about the Suns' wool, and the Suns are also cleaning up those high-quality role players who don't fit in D'Antoni.

"Jack Chakalidis, 24 years old, 218 cm, 129 kg, C, ability rating 62... Average playing time 13.3 minutes, 4.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1 block... Salary status: 1.58 million, 4-year contract to be executed 1160 Ten thousand."

  Looking at the backup center Chakalidis standing on one side...Is this a trade in the first round to beat the Lakers?

   Last summer, the Suns completed an early renewal with Chakalidis with an average annual contract of $2.9 million and a total of $11.6 million in four years.

At that time, it is estimated that the Suns themselves felt that their combination of Marbury, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stoudemire was going to develop in the direction of a championship team. This lineup looked too beautiful. The oldest Marbury is less than 27 years old.

  Then they will inevitably meet the Lakers in the playoffs, and Chakalidis, whether it works or not, relies on O'Neal to get a big contract he shouldn't have.

   Now, that player is in the hands of the Grizzlies.

   Surprised by the ambition of the Grizzlies, Liu Xiu focused on the main player on the opposite side.

Gasol, White Chocolate, Mike Miller, Bob Wells, Posey, Swift, Lorenzen Wright, Shane, Earl Watson, Beau Outlaw… these ten People are rotated, Liu Xiu wants to say something - the logo male is awesome!

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

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

  …

   Sitting on the bench, Liu Xiu felt the frenetic atmosphere of the city of "fit women".

  Healthy woman is not a derogatory term, but is used to praise the diligence and enthusiasm of the women here.

   In addition, it is also full of the strong folk customs of the southern United States. Men must be more enthusiastic, otherwise they will be looked down upon by women.

  The Trail Blazers still started, and the Grizzlies sent a starting lineup of White Chocolate, Mike Miller, Posey, Lorenzen Wright, and Gasol.

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

   In the beginning, the Grizzlies had the upper hand.

  Maurice-Cheeks adjusted in time, replaced the extrajudicial madman with Miles, strengthened his ability to make up defenses and switch defenses, and the two teams entered a stalemate.

   The extrajudicial fanatic was replaced after less than 3 minutes of playing, and sat on the bench, unable to hide his frustration.

   A gentle voice reached the ears of the extrajudicial fanatic—"Don't be discouraged, you're still a rookie..."

   The extrajudicial fanatic turned around and saw that it was their warden and general!

   Liu Xiu sat next to the extrajudicial fanatic.

   At this moment, in the eyes of the extrajudicial fanatics, Liu Xiu is like an angel.

   The extrajudicial fanatic wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Xiu speak, he waited.

   "You are discouraged now, what will you do in the future? Look at the No. 6 show in the 2001 class opposite. It's getting worse every year..."

  The Holy Light is gone.

   Extrajudicial fanatics are looking for a beating!

   Who is this!

   But it makes sense, ignore him... No, now is not the time to be depressed.

  What did the warden who killed a thousand knives say?

Oh! right! Learn from Miles to control the timing of the opponent's supplementary defense and defense!

   As for Battier, the No. 6 pick of the 2001 class, the points, rebounds, and assists are indeed not as good as one year, but it seems that the defense is highly praised and is called the best defensive player on the bench this season...

  The heart-warming warden gave a cure worth more than 200 to such a sinful name of an extrajudicial fanatic. Seeing the other party concentrate on the field, he was very satisfied.

   But this game.

   “Memphis Grizzlies, 29-15, 92.3 ppg, 89.5 ppg allowed…”

   Looking at the situation on the court, Liu Xiu said it was difficult.

   The opposing team is not the strongest defensively yet!

  The first quarter hit 6 minutes and 25 seconds, Randolph turned a layup and was interfered by Gasol, and the Grizzlies called a timeout.

   The Blazers entered the official timeout after trailing the Grizzlies 10-11 by one point.

   A half-quarter game with spicy eyes.

   Liu Xiu thought of the game against the Jazz.

  The difference, the Grizzlies are more stable!

   Playing against two months ago, the Grizzlies have come a long way!

   If they played the current Grizzlies two months ago, they would basically be beaten.

   Liu Xiu thought of a tingling opponent - the Spurs.

   If it is clear that the strength is one level better than the Grizzlies, it will be better to play.

   The Grizzlies' ability to defeat the strong is too weak, and the only one who can attack the tough is Bunch Wells.

   But if it's not a notch above the Grizzlies, it's going to be a headache.

   Blazers coaching staff to players are all headaches.

   Enter the timeout and let the players rest for 30 seconds.

  Maurice Cheeks, Kevin Pritchard, and Liu Xiu stood together, looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

  Morris-Cheeks got it—there's no way to turn things around and change the rhythm.

   Then start with what they can do well - dual point guards!

  …

  “…

   Opponent: Mike Miller.

  Features Transforming Talent: An expert on catch and shoot.

   Bonus effect: 1. When the host catches the ball and shoots, if the host shoots directly without dribbling the ball, the shooting speed will be accelerated by 25%; 2. When the host is standing to catch the ball and shoot, if the catch and shoot is in a large gap, it will definitely enter a hot state. "

  Liu Xiu completed the talent copy and played with Momo, Miles, Randolph, and Tianzun.

   As expected by the Grizzlies, the opponent sent a combination of White Chocolate, Posey, Shane, Wells, and Gasol.

  The Grizzlies chose to serve in the backcourt.

   Seeing Gasol running over, a light bulb appeared on Liu Xiu's head, pulling Tianzun and saying a few words.

  Tianzun immediately asked: "What should I do if I eat a technical criminal?"

   "Try it. If you don't try it, how do you know that the referee will blow it? Anyway, there is a chance for trial and error."

   "Is that so? Warden, why do I feel like you're lying to me... Listen to me... Oh, oh, the other side has come..."

   Seeing Gasol entering the middle distance, Tianzun threw himself into the defense.

  White Chocolate pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt, hoisted the ball to Gasol, who was pulled high, and pulled away to the right sideline.

   On the road to becoming an ordinary point guard, White Chocolate went further and further.

   He spurned such a self, and then, after Christmas, he got a four-year, $32 million extension.

   This is a contract that he could only dream of during his previous ghostly playing style.

   But ordinary does not mean weak!

Gasol launched the attack from a high position. Liu Xiu received Shane who was on the right sideline in the three-second zone to make up the defense. The ball came to White Chocolate. Tianzun extended it to make up for it. The ground pass is sent, and the ball returns to Gasol who moved to the left side of the free throw line!

   Hubby Brown is not stupid, and the Grizzlies management is also very smart. Hubby Brown must have adjusted the white chocolate in a stronger direction. The logo man gave the 28-year-old white chocolate big contract at the peak.

   This pass is so beautiful!

  Unfortunately, Gasol missed the shot!

  Randolph's card position grabbed the board...not stuck!

   Wells flexibly turned around and ran to Randolph's side, jumped quickly, caught the ball first, and then hit the throw!

   After scoring the goal, the stick jumped back with a crab step.

  Randolph asked when he served: "I'm just being careless, believe it or not?"

  Liu Xiu nodded, took the serve and pushed forward.

   With this reaction, Randolph went into madness mode!

  Liu Xiu went to the frontcourt, Randolph didn't ask for the ball, Liu Xiu passed the ball to the Momomon for singles, and then pulled away to the flank.

  Randolph was actively looking for a rushing position, putting a lot of pressure on the Grizzlies' defensive rebound protection.

   On the side of the top arc, Momonga faced the solid defense of White Chocolate and took a two-pointer.

Gasol, Wells, and Battier stopped Randolph and Tianzun from rushing. Gasol stood with his **** pouted and reached for the rebound... A handsome pot flew low, took the lead in grabbing the ball, and landed. Get up for a layup...

   in!

   Liu Xiu took advantage of the opponent's emphasis on Randolph's retaliatory rush, and succeeded in the second attack!

   12 to 13.

   "Thank you, my former teammates!"

   Watching Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Tianzun laughing and high fives, Shane, Wells, and Gasol were so angry, who was your former teammate! ?

   But they really blocked the position below the reasonable collision zone and gave Liu Xiu the opportunity to grab an empty basket.

   Stick Wells is the angriest - he used to be the strongest secondary offensive player of the Blazers. In his opinion, Liu Xiu is provoking him!
