Healing Basketball

   Chapter 185 185. The resurrected calf

   Maddie came excitedly and walked away angrily.

   How can Liu Xiu not see that Maddie just wants to have fun with the rookie?

   Playing with the Magic this season, if you don’t rush for a scoring title or find something interesting to do, your mentality will collapse.

   Before the All-Star Weekend, on January 26th, McGrady thumped James again.

   That day, McGrady scored 8 three-pointers in the first half.

   At the end of the first three quarters, McGrady dragged the bottom-most team in the league to a 79-73 lead over the Cavaliers by 6 points.

   But before the third quarter was over, McGrady, who had only played 25 minutes, left the court due to injury. The Cavaliers scored 26-19 in the final quarter and reversed the Magic 99-98.

   That game when McGrady was still around, James was 4-for-12 from the field.

  Some media said that if Tracy McGrady played the full game, the historical record of 12 three-pointers in a single game created by Kobe Bryant in January last year may be rewritten by McGrady. McGrady played 25 minutes and made 8 of 10 three-pointers.

   McGrady didn't catch the No. 1 pick alone.

   When playing against the Nuggets, McGrady defended Anthony with 6 of 23 shots. That night, Anthony could only rely on 6 offensive rebounds in a single game to score 17 points and 14 rebounds.

   And McGrady scored 51 points on 20 of 30 shots that day, almost breaking Liu Xiu's season-high single-game score.

   Of course, McGrady is not only abusive, he scored 43 points against Artest and 44 points against Pierce...

   It's just a win or a loss, the Magic will lose more and win less.

  Tonight, his warden is definitely a better target for Tracy McGrady than James and Anthony.

   Maddie's behavior, Liu Xiu felt heartbroken.

   He has to heal Maddie for such behaviors and thoughts...

'so close! Ma Dan, facing this man on the court, there are only two points that can win...'

  …

  The game is about to start, and the starters of both teams are on stage.

   Liu Xiu continued to start with Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and McDyess.

  Liu Xiu looked at the starter on the opposite side and felt really interesting.

  The Magic's starting lineup, in addition to McGrady, is worth mentioning, is Steven Hunter.

A center who averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in a non-first-year league in his sophomore year was selected with the 15th overall pick in the first round of 2001 because the Lakers won 15 games in the playoffs that year. Losing to win the championship, the center had a tonnage of 213 cm and 120 kg in his sophomore year, and was immediately selected for the draft, averaging 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game this season.

   Liu Xiu felt that Gooden, the No. 4 show in the 2002 session, was really miserable.

Gooden was acquired by the Magic with Mike Miller. McGrady was unwilling to start with him. He could only substitute for Steven Hunter or Andrew De Klerk, both of whom averaged per game. 3-point center.

  The other three starters, future champion coach Tyron Lue, future Yao Ming's most powerful forward partner former All-Star Juwan Howard, and future James Terminator Deshaun Stevenson.

   "The Great Mage:

  …

Opponent: Tracy McGrady, good at technology transformation Talent: King of dry pulls (defective), bonus effect: When attacking with the ball outside the three-point line, you suddenly take off and shoot directly, with a 30% probability of ignoring the rhythm and taking off force. ...and other negative effects of shooting. "

   So smart, Liu Xiu just pretended to fail to copy his opponent today.

   is not as domineering as the little shark.

   At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Blazers' away game against the Magic started.

   McDyess beat Steven Hunt to win the jump ball and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

   Seeing Liu Xiu advancing, McGrady defended with pressure!

  Fight McGrady admits that he can't beat him, so he doesn't need to try, just admit it.

   He is still afraid that this rookie will fail?

   Fuck him!

   However, Liu Xiu's ball protection is more stable than McGrady expected!

   Liu Xiu hoisted the ball to Randolph, Randolph turned around and wiped Steven Hunter, slipped the baseline, and hit a backhand layup.

   When the Magic team attacked, McGrady broke through the extrajudicial fanatics!

   McGrady's first step is not the fastest in the league, but the first three steps combined are unmatched in the entire league!

   There is one active player in his prime who may be comparable—Grant Hill in a suit and sitting behind the bench.

   burst into close range, McGrady hit a pull-up jumper.

   When retreating, McGrady raised his neck and looked at Liu Xiu with a frivolous smile... The rookie who killed a thousand knives didn't look at him, and said something to his teammates while catching the ball and advancing.

   Maddie decided, he must beat this rookie! Make him worse than James and Anthony!

but…

  The next 21 minutes when McGrady defended Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu ignored McGrady...

   Liu Xiu never thought of angering Maddie or anything. Healing is just a professional habit. Who made him the warden?

   But Maddie made himself agitated by himself.

   This is McGrady this season, trying everything he can to find motivation.

   Of course, McGrady tonight is definitely different from Wade the night before.

  Tonight, McGrady played 37 minutes, made 11 of 25 shots, including 7 of 14 three-pointers, plus 7 of 9 free throws, scored 36 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

   But the Magic team only scored 88 points.

   The Trail Blazers led by Randolph.

Without Tianzun, Randolph's pressure to score inside will increase. It was obvious when he played against the Heat the day before yesterday. McDyess is a good contact point, but he is just a contact point. The number of Tianzun's departure has increased, but in fact, the probability of him being pinched has increased!

   If Tianzun is the one who opens up the space, the opponent will definitely try to limit Tianzun. After all, Tianzun has been a top-scoring power forward in the past few years, and McDyess has been abolished in the eyes of others.

But the Magic's flanking was poor, and those who were all squatting at the basket were not counted. If Randolph successfully received the ball and started the singles, the opponent rarely took the initiative to flank. Randolph easily shot 10 of 17 shots. , plus 11 of 13 free throws to get 31 points and 14 rebounds.

  McDyess' performance tonight was average, with 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, which was in line with expectations. The veteran's basic salary, and only 32 games of salary, what bike do you want.

  Al Harrington played very well tonight. He played 15 minutes and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Almost all of his playing time was with Momo. Of course, Liu Xiu was not there. Maurice Cheeks matched the two with Wesley Person, Miles, and Dale David. Thomas, pitcher, cutter, blue-collar center.

   The two can wave as they like.

   That's how the Pacers' duo of Al Harrington and Jamal Tinsley play, with Morris Cheeks doing his homework.

   It looks good against the Magic anyway.

   As for Raheem, because McGrady played irritably tonight, the Magic has been narrowing the score, Maurice Cheeks really didn't let him play, even for a minute...

In the end, relying on Randolph 31 points and 14 rebounds, Momo 12 points and 3 assists, Harrington 7 points and 4 assists, Wesley Person 11 points, Extrajudicial madman 11 points and 6 rebounds... The Blazers ended up with 11 points and 6 rebounds. 97 to 88 firmly defeated the Magic, won the 39th victory of the season!

   Liu Xiu played 21 minutes tonight, made 1 of 5 shots, plus 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

   Another rookie, still the best rookie so far this season.

   Moreover, Liu Xiu is the one who was beaten the worst by him among the three best rookie favorites.

   But McGrady didn't have any sense of accomplishment in the whole game!

  …

  …

Playing the Magic, Liu Xiu felt that he had a lot of credit. He could attract McGrady's attention when he played. McGrady defended very well, and the efficiency of the offensive end was naturally affected. The warden must have played a role.

   Anyway, the coach and teammates were very complimented by his choice when facing McGrady.

   Of course, the news doesn't write that way, and he can't help it.

   There is no sense of accomplishment in the abuse of vegetables on McGrady's side. Here, he only got a 550 game healing value reward, and he got a thousand-plus healing value from McGrady.

   This made Liu Xiu understand how nervous McGrady was this year.

   However, there are some other ideas.

   He also wanted to be 'incorrect' and 'not calm' once.

  This thought appeared in his mind, and he was killed by him...

  The East has finished two away games, followed by four away games in the West.

   The next morning after playing the Magic, the Trail Blazers left Orlando for Dallas, Texas.

  The next four opponents of the Blazers - Mavericks, Rockets, Warriors, Nuggets.

   Checked into the hotel, Liu Xiu read the local newspaper.

  The Mavericks are back!

   The Mavericks, who were 60 wins and 22 losses last season, played 50 games in the first half of the season and only ranked seventh in the Western Conference, with a record of 30 wins and 20 losses.

   If this situation continues, it will be difficult to get 50 wins.

  But the Mavericks are making a big splash in the mid-term trade!

After replacing Anthony Walker with Ratliff, the All-Star Weekend came back. The Mavericks first beat the Knicks 105-90 at home. Yesterday, they relied on Nowitzki's 26 points and Ratliff's 5 points, 7 rebounds and 4. Blocks, Nash's 22 points and 7 assists, Finley's 18 points, narrowly beat the Spurs 96-93.

  The Mavericks played against the Spurs twice before the season, and they were abused by a total of 30 points.

  'The Kings, Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves... I must keep the top four in the Western Conference, otherwise the first round will be miserable...

  Wolf King is back? Modern medicine is really prosperous. Do people in Dallas also care about the situation of the wolf king? So many fans of Wolf King? ’

  …

   After a night of rest, on February 21st, the Trail Blazers came to the American Airlines Center.

When    came to the locker room to change his training clothes, Randolph said: "Every time I come here, it's like a vacation. You see, I have changed my equipment again. What is this, a massage chair? I'll try it..."

   After waiting for Randolph to sit up and turn on the automatic button, Liu Xiu said, "You dare to sit on this kind of chair? Who knows what others have done on it? Maybe the place where your face is next to is where others put sticks..."

  Randolph jumped up in fright and shouted, "You didn't remind me earlier!"

   "It doesn't matter what's here, it's not written here, it's been cleaned and disinfected this morning."

  Randolph was stunned for a while, and after reacting, he began to breathe out a fragrance: "I XX you XX..."

   This wave of healing is very effective, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with basketball, but Liu Xiu has no regrets.

  Randolph recognized it, stick to the stick and enjoy it first.

  This thing, high-end goods!

   Liu Xiu looked at the locker room, just as Randolph said, every time he came to the Mavericks arena, it was like a vacation.

   The locker room area is twice the size of other arena locker rooms.

   Come to the training ground, the chess and card room, the game hall, and even a mini-cinema, whenever there is a visiting team to play, there is a star-rated restaurant chef who is available all day long.

  The facilities and so on are updated and the most advanced at the first time. If you don't know, you think this is the experience center of the new facilities of the basketball hall.

   Just as Liu Xiu was looking around like in the Grand View Garden, someone spoke next to him.

"I really envy you. It's much more comfortable than ours. Our boss said that making the visiting team's locker room more luxurious and letting the visiting team's players relax will increase our odds of winning. I don't know if you have relaxed. Anyway, we are very jealous of you. The locker room…”

   Who is this voice?

   Liu Xiu turned around and looked, 屮! So high!

   looked up: "Wow, King!"

  "..." Nowitzki looked at Liu Xiu, meaning I didn't understand.

  Liu Xiu said: "Sorry, from that angle just now, you are too much like someone I know."

   When fighting, playing ball, and chatting, this rookie is very different. Nowitzki is not the first time to see Liu Xiu, and he already understands it.

   And he knows that Liu Xiu is definitely not talking nonsense, this rookie loves to tell the truth.

   He asked curiously, "Who am I like you know?"

"Uh…"

  Liu Xiu thought about it, how do you translate that word?

  Forget it, it's too difficult, Liu Xiu said: "Big-King, a very famous character in a great TV series in our country."

   "Really? Many people know this character?"

   "At least 5 out of 10 Chinese people have seen it, and they can call out the character's name."

   "You didn't lie to me? I know, there are more than a billion people in your country!" Although he knew that Liu Xiu was a rookie who told the truth, Nowitzki was still a little hard to believe.

   Liu Xiu was not annoyed and asked, "Is it any good for me to lie to you?"

   Ha... Nowitzki got excited and asked, "Do I look like that character?"

   "You are a bit whiter than him."

   "The people on our side are whiter than the people in your country."

   Liu Xiu wanted to say that was not what he meant, and wanted to explain what kind of character that character was... Nowitzki said suddenly: "I have decided, my nickname in China is Big-King!"

"what?"

   "By the way, warden, how do you say my nickname in Chinese?"

   "Uh...this, ahem, okay, King Silver Horn."

  Nowitzki learned a bit, but Liu Xiu didn't sound like it at all.

   There was still a while before the training started. Liu Xiu and Nowitzki sat on the side of the training ground and started teaching Chinese.

   Teaching and teaching, Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something...

   "By the way, Big-King, when you were interviewed by our country, if you said that character's lines and expressions, the reporters would tremble with excitement..."
