Healing Basketball Chapter 1073

  Chapter 1073 Chapter 1073. The Legion of Bad Boys Who Made a Fortune Silently

   The Trail Blazers ended the first half of the season with 6 consecutive victories, which is quite surprising.

  Because the opponents in these 6 games are not weak.

  Even the Jazz, because of Paul's continuous injuries, have an unstable record. The other opponents are at least currently competing for the playoffs.

  Based on the situation this season, the eighth team in both the Eastern and Western Conferences has the strength to win 50 wins. Of course, whether they can win 50 wins is another matter. It is just a comparison with previous years.

  Before this, the Trail Blazers had just experienced a wave of 2 wins and 3 losses, and the overall state was extremely bad.

   Relying on this winning streak, Liu Xiu won the best of the week for the third time this season.

  Liu Xiu scored 42 points in the game where the Blazers beat the Thunder. The season's total score just reached 1800 points, with an average of 34.5 points per game and 6 points left.

  In addition to averaging 34.5 points per game, Liu Xiu also has 9.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.3 blocks...

   Shooting 47.9% from the field, 40.3% from the three-point range, 89% from the free throw line...

  The pressure in the mid-season of this year is much greater than before. He also took more shots than in previous years, and his scoring performance was very good, but his shooting percentage was slightly affected, but not much. It dropped by less than 1 percentage point from 48.6% in the early stage.

Durant, who ranks second in the scoring list, scored 1598 points, a difference of more than 200 points, and there are 30 games left. Durant wants to surpass Liu Xiu, so that he can score more than Liu Xiu in every game after the All-Star Weekend. Star scored at least 7 points per game after the weekend.

   With such a gap, after the first half of this season, there is not much media analysis about the scoring champion, so there is no suspense.

  After this game, Liu Xiu's 40+ times in a single game also came to 15 times, significantly ahead of Kobe's 10 times and James' 8 times.

   It is very interesting that Kobe and James rank third and fourth on the scoring list, and Durant, who is second, has only 3 single-game 40+ in 52 games this season.

   Liu Xiu's scoring is very stable, and the increase in scoring average is due to the single-month average of 38.5 points per game in January.

  But Durant's scoring situation is more stable, scoring between 26 and 35 points in big-score games, and only 12 times this season with 35+ points.

  The point that the media praised Durant was that his scoring stability was a bit like Joe's boss.

  The player with the best comprehensive performance in the first half of the regular season is James.

  After entering the All-Star Weekend holiday, the major media are also pursuing James' performance this season.

  The best of the month in the West, Parker, Kobe, and Liu Xiu took turns.

  In the East, James has won the best of the month for 3 consecutive months!

  According to the game situation in the first 10 days of February, February is the best month, and it is estimated that it will not escape the palm of James.

  James has played 52 games so far, averaging 29.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.8 strong points and 1.2 blocks per game.

  The shooting percentage is as high as 50.9%, which is the first time in his career to break through the 50% shooting percentage.

   Averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game, which is also a career high, 33% of the three-pointers, a level that can be shot.

  The Cavaliers currently rank first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league.

Eastern half record: Cavaliers 41 wins and 11 losses first, Magic 39 wins and 13 losses second, Celtics 38 wins and 14 losses third, Eagles 37 wins and 15 losses fourth, Raptors 37 wins and 15 losses Lost fifth, Bulls 36 wins and 16 losses sixth, Pistons 32 wins and 20 losses seventh, Bobcats 29 wins and 23 losses eighth, Knicks 27 wins and 25 losses ninth...

  The Knicks sent McDyess away and once again refused to renew David Lee's contract commitment. The record fell from the highest fifth in the Eastern Conference to ninth all the way.

   According to rumors, McGrady now puts his hope on the free market signings in the summer, so he accepted the fact that the record has declined, and he played hard, trying to show his ability and become an attraction.

Western half record: Lakers 42 wins and 10 losses first, Spurs 41 wins and 11 losses second, Timberwolves 38 wins and 14 losses third, Trail Blazers 37 wins and 15 losses fourth, Suns 36 wins and 16 losses fifth , Mavericks 36 wins and 16 losses sixth, Nuggets 34 wins and 18 losses seventh, Rockets 31 wins and 21 losses eighth, Hornets 29 wins and 23 losses ninth, Thunder 27 wins and 25 losses tenth...

  In the past few games in February, the record of the Western Conference has undergone great changes. The performance of strong teams has recovered, and the explosive teams have returned to normal.

   Eighth to tenth, the three youth teams are like three sticks. Whoever enters the playoffs will give the first place a headache. If two enter the playoffs, it may disrupt the playoffs.

   But the 11th-placed Jazz has no hope of the playoffs at all, which means that one of the three sticks of the Rockets, Hornets, and Thunder must enter the playoffs.

  In terms of personal data, in the rebounding list, Beast continues to dominate the list, averaging 13.3 rebounds per game.

  Assist list, Nash returns to No. 1 with an average of 11 assists per game! Overwhelmed Deron, who averaged 10.3 assists per game.

   Liu Xiu ranked first in steals, and Rondo, who ranked second, averaged 2.3 steals per game. Paul did not play enough and did not enter the rankings, but averaged 2.5 steals per game, which was far behind Liu Xiu's average of 3.2 steals per game.

   In the block list, Oden averaged 3.3 blocks per game and continued to dominate the list, leading Beasts with 0.5 blocks per game.

  Rookie rankings, Evans is in the first rank, separated by a rank in the middle, and then other rookies, other rookies, Jennings is currently the most popular, and then, there is the elementary school student who has already ranked third in the rookie list...

After playing the Thunder, on the 10th, Liu Xiu rested at home for a day. On the 11th, Liu Xiu took the family with him, plus Ray Allen, Kwame Brown, Gasol Jr., Korver and other participating teammates. His relatives and friends, as well as some teammates who wanted to go to Dallas to watch the game live, took the 'Rose Bay Prison' to Dallas.

   On the 6th, the league has announced the detailed entry list for this year's All-Star Weekend.

In the rookie game, first-year: Jerebko of the Pistons, Curry of the Grizzlies, Harden of the Thunder, Evans and Jonny Flynn of the Timberwolves, Jennings of the Warriors, Bulls Taj Gibson of the Jazz, DeRozan of the Jazz, Blair of the Spurs;

Second-year teams: Marc Gasol of the Trail Blazers, Rose of the Thunder, Westbrook of the Hornets, Oden and Mayo of the Grizzlies, Love of the Clippers, Lopez of the Nets Ci, Eric Gordon of the Kings, and Beasley of the Heat.

   Oden was selected for the All-Star Game and withdrew from the Rookie Game. Danilo Gallinari of the 76ers was selected for the Rookie Game as an alternate.

  Comprehensive event day, skill challenge: Nash, Deron, Jennings, Curry, Rose, Westbrook and other 6 players participated.

  This is quite interesting. On the score list of this competition, the two are ranked second and third respectively. Jennings and Curry are not on the same page, and Rose and the warden are also not on the same page.

  Three-point contest: Pierce, Frye, Curry, Korver, Daquin Cook, Billups and other 6 players participated.

   Slam Dunk Contest: 4 players including Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown, Gerald Wallace and DeRozan participated.

  For the All-Star Game,

  Eastern Substitutes: Howard, Milicic, Randolph, Bosh, Artest, McGrady, Joe Johnson and other 7 people were selected.

  Because Iverson and Yao Ming withdrew from the game early, the league designated Rajon Rondo and Billups of the Celtics to be selected.

  Adding Wade, James, and Garnett formed the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup.

  West substitutes: Durant, Oden, Nash, Gasol, Roy, Ray Allen, Nowitzki.

  Because Oden, Kobe, and Nowitzki went to Germany to treat their knees during the All-Star Weekend, they all withdrew from the All-Star Game. The league designated Rose, Deron, and Al Horford to be selected.

  Add Liu Xiu, Anthony, Duncan, and Kwame Brown to form the Western All-Star lineup.

  When Liu Xiu saw the list of candidates designated by the league, he felt that Bynum was really unpopular.

   Isn't it just that the hairstyle is a little weird? As for being so discriminated against?

  Liu Xiu went to search the news about Anzhu, and felt that it was true.

This guy has done several absurd things in the past half season alone. The most exciting thing is the "management of wives" exposed in January. Bynum slept the new wife of the team general manager Morey more than once. According to the Rockets staff, for a period of time, Morey's wife came to the arena every day to deliver lunch to Morey, and then went to the warehouse to have a private meeting with Bynum.

  It was an N-line actor working in Hollywood. Before marriage, it was revealed that his private life was chaotic.

Now the belly is big, and I don't know if it's Bynum's or Morey's. Anyway, the actor didn't want to induce labor, so he went to a state that prohibits abortion. As long as the baby is born, whether it's Morey's or Bynum Nam's family can get a large amount of alimony.

  Compared with this incident, Bynum secretly shaved his teammates' hair while his teammates were taking a nap, detonated the firecrackers stuffed in the cake when his teammates were blowing out candles on his birthday, and took pictures of his lower body and posted them on the Internet... all are nothing.

  So, as the only center with an average of 20+ per game so far this season, Bynum averaged 21 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2 blocks per game. With a good record, there are not many coaches who vote for him.

  The league is also unwilling to designate him as an All-Star.

  Liu Xiu doesn't think it's a pity that Bynum was not selected as an All-Star...

  'Little James' Josh Smith was not selected as an All-Star, which is a pity. He averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks per game.

   But Liu Xiu remembered that this all-round fighter who knew a little bit of everything had never been selected to an All-Star in his entire career.

   Apart from defense, he has no outstanding strengths, and he can't do anything at critical moments.

   And Randolph, who averaged 14.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, was selected as an All-Star, because Randolph averaged 5 rebounds per game and ranked first in the league. The last time someone averaged so many rebounds per game was a matter of the last century.

   Arrived in Dallas, Liu Xiu started working in the afternoon to carry out business activities.

  12th, Thursday, the morning is the first day of the 'All-Star Carnival' which was a joke, and all the athletes participating in this All-Star were present.

   In the afternoon, Liu Xiu continued his business activities.

   On the 13th, the rookie game day, Liu Xiu did not go to the American Airlines Center to watch. Instead, he spent the New Year with his family at a holiday villa on the outskirts of Dallas. Today is New Year's Eve.

  In the evening, he paid attention to the live broadcast of the rookie game. He thought that there were turtles, roses, sister-in-law, big Lopez... Even if Oden didn't fight, wouldn't this group of people also beat the rookies?

   Turns out he was wrong!

   Curry scored 27 points, Jennings 33 points, Blair 22 points and 23 rebounds, Evans 26 points, 6 rebounds and 17 assists. The four led the rookie team to play as the sophomore team from the beginning of the game.

  Guigui had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the second half, and 21 points, 16 rebounds and 18 assists in the game. He became the second player in the history of the rookie game to get a triple-double, comparable to the warden.

  But still failed to lead the team to comeback.

  144 to 125, the rookie team beat the sophomore team, scored 26 points and 17 assists, and Evans, who made good use of the three absolute strengths of Curry, Jennings, and Blair, won the MVP.

   This is the first rookie to win the rookie game MVP after 5 years since Liu Xiu.

  The wheels of history are rolling, just like Liu Xiu's impression, the talented and talented 2008 class, before they take off, the 2009 class with even more talent is already flying dragons and riding faces.

  The next day was another day when Qing Er gritted her teeth.

  February 14th, Valentine's Day, after watching the Spring Festival Gala in the morning, parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, aunts and uncles all went out on a date, leaving her and the nanny to take care of her younger siblings, nephews and nieces.

   Thinking that I will be 16 in a few months, I will have a boyfriend! Be sure to make a boyfriend!

   You have to find someone to help take care of the baby together, right?

   These three- and five-year-old brats are really disgusting!

  The elder nephew is easy to take care of, but she always feels that the elder nephew is always perfunctory to her, and she feels that her IQ is suppressed a little bit.

   But it is also better than those little devils who hate dogs.

In the evening's triathlon, Nash defeated Deron and Curry in the final and won the Skills Challenge Championship; Pierce defeated Frye and Billups in the final and won the three-point contest championship. Curry and Korver made two three-pointers Didn't even make it to the finals; the slam dunk contest champion was won by Nate Robinson, and the TV commentator's annual call for 'cancelling the slam dunk contest' sounded again.

On the morning of February 15th, Liu Xiu joined the All-Star team and came to Arlington County, more than 20 kilometers west of Dallas. The All-Star Game will be held at the Cowboys Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people. .

  A total of 106,813 seats have been arranged for this game, plus hundreds of large and small boxes that can accommodate more than a thousand people. All seats and boxes have been sold out and delivered.

   This broke the number of spectators at the indoor basketball game!

  The previous record, held by the NCAA Basketball Tournament Finals, was 95,521.

  The number of on-site spectators before the NBA was 62,046, a record set in a game between the Bulls and the Eagles in March 1998.

  When Liu Xiu arrived in Dallas, he received a ticket for a large box and a few front row tickets from Cuban, and he was not given any chance to go crazy in the future.

  Anne Hathaway feels that Cuban may not be afraid of him getting mad, but wants to improve the relationship and pave the way for future recruitment of him.

His physical condition, style of play, and technology may have a longer peak period than Kidd. At the age of 35, Cuban is willing to spend a lot of money to trade back. When he is in his thirties, he will definitely Not worse than Kidd.

  The Mavericks have always been very humble in terms of signings. It is rare for a big-name free agent to join this kind of thing once in ten years.

   From 9:00 am to 10:00 am, a fan carnival was held.

From 10:30 to 12:00, the East team of the visiting team will conduct public training. The 2,000 spectators who have drawn tickets in the carnival event can watch on the spot. At the same time, the West team will go to several special schools in Arlington for condolences. At 3:30, the work of the East and the West was switched.

  At 7:00 p.m., the Cowboys Stadium started the pre-game performance, and the entrance ceremony at 7:20...

  There were more than 100,000 people at the scene, and Liu Xiu felt the atmosphere ignited after entering the venue. Tonight, he will be a wave of MVP!

  However, looking at this crowd of people, Liu Xiu thought of King Silver Horn who decided to go to Europe to treat his knee... This guy usually looks like he wants to be popular, but when it comes to critical moments, he really doesn't care about it.

   King Silver Horn has a sprained knee, which is not serious. It can be treated conservatively, and he can play games without any problem. However, for just one week, he decisively went for platelet-rich repair treatment.

   You must know that this is the home field of Silver Horn King! Such an opportunity may only come once in the entire career.

   But Nowitzki chose to eliminate the potential injury.

  Last year there was Shark in the All-Stars, and Liu Xiu had a great time playing with him. This year, Shark is not there, and Beast is the protagonist, so Liu Xiu feels bored.

   Big Shark takes everyone to play together. Beast really wants to be the protagonist and become the focus, but he only knows how to play some boring tricks.

  The popularity of Beast reached its peak last season, but this season has obviously begun to decline.

  At 8:00 p.m., the All-Star Game begins!

  The East team sent a starting lineup of Wade, McGrady, James, Garnett, and Randolph.

  The West team sent a starting lineup of Nash, Liu Xiu, Anthony, Duncan, and Kwame Brown.

  After the game started, Zen Master started the operation of using the warden, stone Buddha, and mining bandit leader to death.

   Liu Xiu played the first quarter, Duncan played the second quarter, Anthony played the third quarter, and Zen master kept at least two of them on the court.

  Single play, offensive organization, and defense, this trio makes the West team's full strength online!

  In the first quarter, the Western team beat the Eastern team by 4 points 40 to 36. In the second quarter, the Eastern team returned the Western team 37 to 35, narrowing the difference to two points.

   In the third quarter, Liu Xiu went crazy!

   First made two three-pointers, then scored two points with a counter-attack dunk, and then scored 5 mid-range shots and baskets in a row. Without free throws, he scored 18 points in a row!

   During this period, Liu Xiu made good use of Gasol's high-post support, Duncan's pick-and-roll and low-post points, and Ray Allen's flank containment.

  Xiao Du, the second-scoring student, and Little Rose, who was placed high on the league's hopes, were the first-time All-Star duo.

  Xiao Du: It turns out that the warden hit those giants just as hard as when he hit us!

  Little Rose: So those super giants are no different from us...

  Under the leadership of Liu Xiu, the West team played a wave of 18 to 8, opening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.

  In the following time, the Western team continued to advance, scoring 31 to 20, and beat the Eastern team 49 to 28 in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the Western team led the Eastern team by 124 to 101 by 23 points!

   It's not that the stars of the Eastern team are not strong enough, but a problem with the play style of the two teams.

  For the western side, Duncan, Gasol, and Horford are the core of tactics, and their style of play is a very common triangle offense.

  The Eastern team played sudden points, and James and Wade took turns to compete with the Western team only by their personal abilities.

  Milicic, Randolph, Howard, Bosh and others have all become relievers or pie-eating centers, and they have not gathered the strength of the team at all.

  When the western team played a little bit of teamwork, the eastern team was beaten to pieces.

  At the end of the quarter, the Western team scored 36 points, and the Eastern team scored 38 points led by Wade's 15 points in a single quarter.

   Liu Xiu played 39 minutes and made 20 of 33 shots, including 7 of 13 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 53 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals!

  Adding Anthony's 27 points, Duncan's 10 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Gasol's 6 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists...

   Overwhelmed Wade's 33 points and 11 assists, James' 29 points and 12 assists.

  160 to 139, the Western team beat the Eastern team and won the All-Star Game!

  Liu Xiu tied his own All-Star game single-game scoring record. After 2005 and 2008, he won the All-Star Game MVP for the third time!

   The number of All-Star MVPs, ranked ahead of him, only Kobe and Bob Pettit have 4 times!

  The All-Star Weekend is over, but on the morning of the 16th, the All-Stars still have to get up early in the morning to participate in the All-Star Carnival while sending the most sincere greetings to their most ridiculous relatives.

   It's not that Liu Xiu doesn't like interacting with fans. He actually looks forward to the few opportunities to get in close contact with fans every year. Some people may only meet once in a lifetime, even if those people are his important fans.

   But when things like this become the norm, it's like commuting and it gets tiresome.

   He and the fans will expect less.

Like the local 'Prisoner's Association Leader' in Dallas, I can see it at every event these days, because he has money, so he directly buys the event tickets drawn by others, and sees it every day, the two of them greet each other less enthusiastically than they did at the beginning up.

   In the afternoon, Liu Xiu's family returned to Portland, and the family started to work again. On the second day, February 17, he celebrated his 28th birthday.

  There is no party for this birthday, Liu Xiu refused.

  He recalled that when he first entered the NBA, he was only 21 years old, and now he is 28 years old, which is terrible.

  He thinks he is still a child!

   Several teammates came to visit his house and gave gifts, but he didn't keep any of them.

  However, they did not take the chartered plane of the Lakers. Wang Zhizhi's family, Kobe's family, and Liu Xiu, who had come all the way in the early morning, stayed, had lunch together, and went to the field to play together in the afternoon.

  Both Kobe and Wang Zhizhi only heard that the warden often drives excavators and tractors across the fields, and that the local farmers in Portland are not as skilled as him, but they just listened to it as a legend.

   I didn't expect such an outrageous story to be true!

  Wang Zhizhi and Kobe's family were amazed to see Liu Xiu operating the latest machine to sow a large piece of land that could not be seen at a glance in one afternoon.

   It turns out that the legendary story that the warden can become a rich man by farming is true!

  The All-Star Weekend holiday is over. On February 18th, Liu Xiu's first game after turning 28 came, and he played against the Lakers at home.

   In the first game after the holiday, the Trail Blazers performed very well!

Liu Xiu scored 28 points, Ray Allen 22 points, Kwame Brown 15 points, Hill 10 points, Outlaws 15 points, Dior 10 points... The Trail Blazers team scored 109 points, Lectra scored The 98-point Lakers ended the Lakers' 6-game winning streak.

   On the second day, on the 19th, the home and away games alternated, and the Trail Blazers came to Los Angeles to play back-to-back against the Lakers.

This time the Lakers relied on Kobe's 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Deron's 14 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Wang Zhizhi's 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Odom's 10 points and 22 rebounds, David West's With 19 points, they responded to the Trail Blazers with 99 to 92, ending the Trail Blazers' 7-game winning streak.

   As soon as the second half of the regular season started, the Trail Blazers and the Lakers had a fierce back-to-back battle, which ignited the 2010 basketball season!

   Both teams ended each other's winning streak and hurt each other a lot.

   After two days of rest in Los Angeles, on the 22nd, the Trail Blazers came to Phoenix and narrowly beat the Suns 108-101.

  The Trail Blazers won this time because of their good defense and continuous counterattacks. Liu Xiu scored 29 points and 17 assists, setting a new personal high for the season.

  The Suns' 6-of-22 three-pointers dragged their feet.

  Beating the Suns, the Trail Blazers' record improved to 39 wins and 16 losses, just one victory away from 40 wins.

   On the 23rd, Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team. After seeing the news, Carter was traded!

  The Magic sent Courtney Lee, Ralph Alston, Tony Batty, and got Carter from the Pistons!

Liu Xiu looked at the data of the next three. Courtney Lee, a sophomore, averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season; Alston averaged 6.2 points and 2.9 assists per game; Tony Batty averaged 3.6 points per game 3.2 boards.

  Alstom's salary is $5.05 million, and Tony Batty's is $6.29 million, both of which are contract years.

   These two are used to balance the contract. If they have to use it, they can also play in the game and have some strength.

  The core chip is Courtney Lee, an older rookie in the 2008 class. He is 24 years old in the second grade. He has a mature style of play and good defense.

  The Pistons made this deal, and Liu Xiuneng guessed that the Pistons had been trying to find a way to get Carter's big contract away.

   But are the Magic out of their minds?

  Two expiring contracts, one rookie contract that is only in the second year of combat power, adding some bargaining chips, maybe Lewis' contract can be given away.

   Carter is starting to enjoy basketball!

  Current Carter, there is no need to doubt his competitive spirit, no need to question his choice in the game, and his skills have reached an almost perfect level, but now he is just a role player.

  Now the Magic don't have any high-quality bargaining chips except Beast, and Lewis is a bad player. Unless Beast is packaged and traded for Lewis, otherwise, Lewis's **** contract can only be exchanged for another **** contract.

   Liu Xiu looked at the Pistons lineup and suddenly discovered something!

   Unknowingly, the group of people who won the Pistons two years ago seems to have few left in the Pistons.

  Ben Wallace came back with a basic salary.

  And unknowingly, the Pistons have brought back many high-quality players, including Gooden, Courtney Lee, Villanueva, and the selected Stuckey and Jerebko are also not bad.

  The formation of the new generation of championship team, the Pistons, is almost complete!

The Pistons have messed up all these things. By this summer, the contracts of Alston, Tony Batty, James Jones and others will expire. The total salary of the Pistons can drop to more than 47 million dollars. If the salary cap increases Continue to work hard, they may be able to create a maximum salary space.

   No matter how bad it is, it is still a sub-maximum salary space!

  Liu Xiu touched his stubble, Joe Dumas, that's amazing! After two years of silent operation, it is true that I made a lot of money in a muffled voice.

  There are two draft picks in recent years, and they selected Stuckey and Jerebko. The two contracts of Ben Wallace and Carter were cleaned up in time before they became garbage contracts...

   Liu Xiu looked at her own team again, and she really disliked it, so she knew how to throw coins!

  However, their prison team is the defending champion, and the core lineup is the winning lineup of last season, which can only be patched up. It can be done like this, and it is not bad to be able to stabilize in the case of such a shocking event as the second leader running away.

   On the 24th, the Trail Blazers beat the Clippers 107-85 at home. Liu Xiu scored 44 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, winning the 16th single game of 40+ this season!

  Liu Xiu estimated that the Clippers didn't know how much they regretted not choosing a point guard in 2008.

   It is said that Griffin is recovering very well and has begun to receive confrontational training. He will definitely be able to participate in this summer's summer league.

   And in the team training game, Griffin performed better than Love and Kaman.

  But at that time, the Clippers could get Beard almost for free, and they never thought that they would get the No. 1 pick in 2009 after getting Beard, Kaman and others!

  Who would Griffin choose for the No. 1 pick in 2009? At that time, the Clippers thought about choosing Thabeet to partner with Love, but now they are glad they didn't make that choice.

Thabeet averaged 13 minutes per game for the Kings this season, scoring 3.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. His efficiency is not bad, but if you really watch the game, unless the whole team slowly polishes around it and cultivates it patiently for three to five years, otherwise it is really useless. What are you doing.

  The Kings don't seem to have that kind of patience, and the Clippers certainly don't.

   On the 26th and 27th, the Trail Blazers suffered a back-to-back two-game losing streak at home, losing 89 to 95 to the Celtics and 103 to 122 to the Jazz.

   Lost to the defense in the front, and lost to the opponent's exaggerated COSCO shooting touch in the back.

   Swept by the Celtics, Liu Xiu already has experience.

  The two-game losing streak ended the game in February, and the Blazers, who played 58 games, came to a record of 40 wins and 18 losses.

   After back-to-back games, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest. After a one-day rest, on March 1, the Trail Blazers came to Rutherford Town and started a wave of 5 consecutive away. The first opponent was the Nets.

   Arriving at the hotel at noon, Liu Xiu saw the news. Not surprisingly, Evans won the Rookie of the Month Award, and James won the Player of the Month Award.

   If Jennings hadn't scored 55 points in a single game, Evans had a good record and statistics, and the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference would not be able to turn to others.

  James has been the best in the Eastern Conference for 4 consecutive months, and his personal performance is invincible in the Eastern Conference.

The best of the month in the Western Conference was won by Paul Gasol of the Timberwolves, with 9 wins and 2 losses, averaging 20.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 5 assists per game, averaging 20+10+5 per game in a single month, playing the league's first power forward The momentum helped the Timberwolves secure third place in the West.

   On March 2, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nets 102 to 93 in an away game, kicking off a 5-game streak.

On the 4th, the Trail Blazers came to Toronto to challenge the Raptors. Milicic and Artest continued to play slow-paced battles. The Trail Blazers relied on the trio of Gasol Jr., Kwame Brown and Liu Xiu Confronted head-on, and finally narrowly defeated the Raptors 91 to 87, winning two consecutive victories.

   On the 5th, the Trail Blazers came to Chicago and challenged the Bulls back to back.

   Hinrich, Pierce, and Garnett, after half a season of conflict, it seems that they have finally begun to cooperate with each other tacitly.

  The main reason is that the trade deadline came, and they didn't make any tricks.

  Except for the iron man of the Magic, no team is willing to send out high-quality chips at this time to block the space.

  Since there is nothing to do, and you are still in the same team, then fight first and fight with all your strength, what if?

  The precedent of the Pistons in 2008 made them full of hope.

   On the 7th, the Trail Blazers came to Memphis and defeated the Grizzlies 108 to 95, improving their record to 43 wins and 19 losses, stabilizing the fourth place in the Western Conference and preventing the Mavericks from overtaking.

   On the 9th, the Trail Blazers came to the Minneapolis Target Center to challenge the Timberwolves away.

  "Yi Jianlian, 22 years old, 213 cm, 111 kg, PF, ability rating 80, offense 84, defense 73... averaged 14.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game... shooting 47.9% from the field and 37% from the three-point range..."

  Liu Xiu was very pleased to see her little apprentice who had become an excellent third person inside.

   It's just that Fagan's agent started to mess up again, instigating Yi Jianlian to reject the Timberwolves' early contract renewal offer.

  Rejecting 40 million US dollars for 5 years, Liu Xiu thinks this is not a big problem.

  In terms of performance, Yi Jianlian is such a worth.

  But you have to count the commercial value.

   Yi Jianlian played, and the Timberwolves have naturally become one of the teams that domestic fans pay the most attention to.

  But Feigen instigated Yi Jianlian to publicly express that he wanted a maximum salary, which made Liu Xiu suggest that Yi Jianlian change his agent.

   Fortunately, Yi Jianlian has a more thoughtful mind—ask the master first about such matters.

  Liu Xiu asked Yi Jianlian to refuse to take the initiative to do such a thing, and Fagen wanted to earn the money, so he yelled for it himself.

  An agent does not do such offending things, let the players do it?

  Feigen didn't expect Yi Jianlian to refuse, so he could only shout out the words 'Yi's talent and commercial value should get the maximum salary'.

  Don't talk about it, only in this respect, Liu Xiu thinks that Yi Jianlian is right to choose Fei Gen as his agent, this guy has a thick skin!

  Put Bill Duffy in the same situation, he can't do the cheeky thing like Fegan.

  Because of Fagan's operation, the Timberwolves really increased the offer to 44 million US dollars in 4 years, the number of years was reduced by 1 year, and the total salary increased by 4 million US dollars.

  However, he and Yao Ming do not need to operate like Fagan. Both he and Yao Ming are worthy of the maximum salary.

In the original time and space, Yao Ming suffered the loss of "loyalty" and was PUAed by Mosaic. He became hard here, and he walked away as soon as he said it. The Rockets would just tear up their skin if they didn't agree... Later he went to the Pistons, the management of the Pistons Seeing that he was making money, he didn't think about lowering the price at all, and directly sent 25% of the salary cap to the maximum salary, for fear that Yao Ming would enter the free market and give up the idea of ​​leaving.

  Fagan is very aggressive and thoughtful, while Bill Duffy focuses on stability. What Liu Xiu needs is such a steady agent.

  Of course, Bill Duffy is not alone in Liu Xiu's team. Anne Hathaway's father's lawyer team and Liu Xiu's aunt's company's legal team are also part of his team.
