Healing Basketball Chapter 181

Chapter 181 181. Not the Mamba players you think (thanks to the two leaders who listened carefully to the wind and rain~)

Watching Liu Xiu put down his glasses with his shirt on his forearm, looking like a gentle scum, the All-Star teammates felt a deep chill.

This guy is really a thug!

Liu Xiu seemed to be saying 'I stepped on a cockroach', Yao Ming swallowed.

He heard Bill Duffy, Su Qun and others say that Liu Xiu is different from him, and Liu Xiu's experience in the United States is very different from him.

He didn't really understand before, but now he understands a little bit.

As soon as people enter the NBA, they can get along well in the prison team, with Momoko, Tianzun, Butcher...the group of unruly players around them...

But Liu Xiu asked all-star teammates to help call 911... Even Cassell didn't move.

Most of the people present were black people, who hasn't had a fight?

Group fights were a common occurrence when I was a child.

There are even many people who have seen the shooting with their own eyes.

But when they fight or watch others fight, there will always be a 'process', pushing and shoving, scolding, theory, etc., there must be a wave.

The warden in front of me...

When Yao Ming took out his mobile phone to make a call... he was held down by a man who claimed to be a power forward.

"There's a doctor in the arena, and it's too slow to call 911."

"Huh?" Liu Xiu blinked at Duncan and said with a smile, "Okay... Brother Yao, Bill has something to do with you, you go first."

"What's the matter? I don't know..."

"Just go and ask him to buy me a belt... The king of technical offenders, go to the doctor, I'm in the lounge, come to me with something."

After , Liu Xiu pushed Yao Ming out of the locker room.

After Liu Xiu left, the players in the locker room hurried to open the bathroom door and saw Garnett groaning and shaking in the corner.

The clothes on the body are full of cracks, bloodstains visible to the naked eye... But there is no injury on the face... Except for the mud...

It can be seen that Garnett should not be seriously injured.

This gave the All-Stars a sigh of relief.

However, looking at Garnett like this, even Duncan, who was greeted by Garnett in the 1999 Mother's Day playoffs with 'Happy Holidays to your mom', was born with sympathy... Duncan's mother graduated from college after him. passed away before.

Some people say that in the playoffs that year, Duncan took O'Neal, Tianzun, Sabonis, Camby...all as Garnett, and completed the second-year through championship + FMVP achievement.

Judging by the professional ability of Duncan's Master of Psychology, today's incident is expected to become a psychological shadow for the person in front of him.

Tianzun went to the doctor, but the first thing he did when he left the locker room was to call Anthony...

Fighting, Liu Xiu has always been so straightforward.

Leaving aside what happened later, whether he was on the Orange or the Blazers, he first used his fists to let others know that he could not be bullied.

After has a firm foothold, he can grow steadily and smoothly.

Not long after he came to the lounge, the official NBA staff called Liu Xiu to an office in the arena.

Bill Duffy soon came to the arena, as did NBA vice president Stu Jackson, and Garnett's agent Banks.

They first went to see Garnett in the infirmary, which was a miserable one.

"He's a devil..."

"He's going to kill me! He's going to kill me!"

Garnett repeated these words over and over again.

Take a look at Liu Xiu, who wears glasses and has the temperament of a gentle scum, is too handsome, and has a smile on his face.

Who could imagine that Garnett in the infirmary was beaten by the man in front of him?

Banks was going to come and say two harsh words... When he saw Liu Xiu, he shut up.

Agents have seen more ghosts and ghosts than players.

Banks, an agent who thinks about stealing players' money every day, is brilliant.

Liu Xiu said to Stu-Jackson: "BOSS, I think you should understand the whole story. I know that I am impulsive. I am sorry for this fight. I have caused trouble to the league."

"..." Banks wanted to refute, but Liu Xiu gave him a look when he spoke, and he endured it.

It wasn't him who was beaten anyway...

Bill Duffy was worried that Liu Xiu would continue to be strong and offend the officials of the league. Hearing Liu Xiu's words, he was relieved for the most part.

Thinking about it again, Liu Xiu let Yao Ming leave the scene immediately, and you can see that Liu Xiu has a good brain.

Stu-Jackson was sent to deal with this matter, and he was tired of it. He did all the troubles, and the bald head did the things that got the benefits... But, someone called him the boss!

Stu-Jackson replied: "We already understand, there will be special people to deal with this matter, you don't have to go to the public welfare activities this afternoon, you go back to the hotel and wait, this matter may have Police intervention... We will try to avoid police intervention as much as possible, you don't have to worry, fights between players are not a good thing, but they often happen..."

This is a sideshow, and Banks doesn't dare to say anything... He is going to question Stu Jackson when Liu Xiu is away.

But Liu Xiu has something to say.

"I'm curious, why did that guy pick me alone to bully me, I was thinking, could it be because of my skin color?"

The expressions of the other three in the office changed immediately!

Bill Duffy exclaimed in his heart! This angle of entry is simply unbeatable!

Ten minutes later, at a club near the Staples Center, Stu Jackson was reporting to David Stern about his meeting with Liu Xiu and others.

Stu-Jackson remained calm and relaxed in front of Liu Xiu and the others, especially after hearing Liu Xiu's "boss", he even pretended to be calm.

But he panicked!

When left the arena, he instructed the agents on both sides, as well as the Lakers, the host of the All-Star Weekend, and then refused all interviews in the arena.

David Stern was relieved after hearing this, and smiled: "Stu, you seem to admire the warden very much."

In the process of describing, Stu-Jackson really showed a good impression of Liu Xiu's words and sentences.

But why ask this now?

David Stern continued: "Stu, take it easy, this time the matter has been resolved."

"Solved?" Stu-Jackson pondered that he didn't do anything yet!

"Whether the incident will be a big one this time depends on Garnett and his agent Banks. The warden is very smart, and in a word, Banks does not dare to bother with this matter."

"Yes! Regardless of whether Garnett is discriminatory or not, it is for the warden to openly talk about this topic, and neither does Garnett."

Stuy Jackson is not stupid, or he would not be David Stern's favorite successor.

David Stern asked again: "Stu, you haven't said yet, what do you think of the Warden player?"

I have to say that I am happy because he made my boss... Incompetent and furious, Stu Jackson still has to figure out a way to deal with this topic.

He didn't even know why the old Jewish man had to ask him this.

Thinking of Liu Xiu's appearance, Stu Jackson felt that there was a lot to boast about, saying: "His image is very good, he is also a genius, and he is definitely one of our future pillar players. I think we can save him. image..."

Stu-Jackson gets more and more excited.

"No no no," David Stern shook his head: "He looks like a perfect idol, but no one likes perfect people, perfect people are too irrelevant, and we have LeBron, no We need a foreigner to be our idol.

And he is not a perfect player. He has too many characteristics that are not like an idol. If you insist on creating an image for him, this image will collapse sooner or later. "

Stu-Jackson nodded when he heard the words, saying that they were supporting James, and that was no way!

Looking at the entire league, only James is suitable to be held as a 'hero'.

Before that, it was Grant Hill.

These two people have something in common - outstanding talent, precocious maturity, and self-discipline.

Stu-Jackson replied: "I understand, contrast! Using the contrasting characteristics of the warden... BOSS, I will deal with the warden fighting Garnett... No, it was the war between the warden and Garnett."

David Stern nodded.

He didn't intervene this time, and let Stu Jackson, one of the successor candidates, handle it entirely.

When Garnett didn't dare to say anything, most of the matter this time has been resolved. Even if it is cold-handed and nothing is done, it will not be worse.

It's up to Stu-Jackson to find some leverage in this situation.

Breaking news, the warden beat Garnett!

The time when the media got the news was about the same time when the league officials learned about it.

The news is already flying all over the sky.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the NBA's All-Star Charity Event, there were only 10 members of the Western All-Star team.

Both parties involved in the news broke the news, and the matter was actually hammered.

On the day of the All-Star Game, the All-Star ticket king beat someone. This is a big deal.

But soon news came out that it was Garnett who played tricks on Liu Xiu. His behavior was so bad that he was beaten by Liu Xiu.

The NBA bullies rookies in many cases, and some of them behave very badly.

For example, the car was stuffed with popcorn, and forced to carry a pink schoolbag…

Like lifting shoes and running errands, those are the most basic things.

Garnett's worst bullying was when he and Joe Smith insulted a rookie on the team every day, which made him lose his enthusiasm for basketball and retired and changed jobs.

That incident was also a big news at the beginning, so the focus of the discussion began to change for those who saw Garnett's tricks on Liu Xiu.

News reports are constantly being updated, and soon, 'the warden beats Garnett' turned into 'Garnett is jealous of Liu Xiu's rookie season and won the All-Star ticket king, tricks Liu Xiu, conflicts occur, and Garnett does not fight to win'.

At 4 p.m., the NBA official held an emergency press conference in Los Angeles.

Expressed severe condemnation for Garnett's bullying of newcomers and the fight between Garnett and Liu Xiu, and stated that he would seriously rectify the so-called 'culture' of the NBA's bullying of newcomers...

Heavy pick up, gently put down.

"That's it? This is gone?"

Staples Center, home team lounge, Maurice Cheeks watched the live broadcast of the NBA's official emergency press conference on TV, with a question mark on his head.

Liu Xiu beat Garnett. After knowing the reason, Maurice Cheeks didn't feel that something was wrong.

Even Kevin Pritchard didn't think Liu Xiu did something wrong. Of course, he would blame Liu Xiu for being too impulsive.

This matter, Liu Xiu must bear the consequences.

But in the past few hours, Liu Xiu's 'bad name' has indeed become even worse, but public opinion seems to be moving in Liu Xiu's favor.

He is not a good person and is still the main direction of public opinion.

But not afraid of things, fighting fiercely, bloody... These points have been discussed by many people, and they have also been sought after by a lot of people.

There is another unexpected point - those who were bullied by old employees in the workplace, because of this, have a strong identification with Liu Xiu.

The negative image has deepened, yes, but it seems that there are more fans...

Afterwards, the league officials understated a few words of condemnation at the press conference, and nothing more.

Liu Xiu replied: "Isn't that enough? The league has severely condemned me, and it is estimated that I will be regarded as a negative teaching material in the future."

Listening to this, looking at Liu Xiu's expression and eyes, the two coaches have the same feeling - it's cheap and good!

Liu Xiu said seriously: "The league is not an administrative organ, and I did not commit a crime, nor did I fight in the game. They have no basis for punishing me."

Maurice-Cheeks nodded, did not continue to question, and said: "Warden, although the league has not cancelled your All-Star qualification, I will reduce your playing time to very little in tonight's game."

Liu Xiu nodded: "I understand."

This is the coach's protection for him, he understands, and in turn, he doesn't want to make it difficult for Maurice Cheeks.

Not long after, the staff came to inform them that the Western All-Stars were back.

Liu Xiu followed the two coaches to the training ground.

All-star teammates focused their attention on Liu Xiu.

I'm afraid... It's a bit of a moment, and Garnett's tragic situation is still in front of him.

But the emotion of fear mainly appeared when Liu Xiu came out of the bathroom after playing Garnett.

Later, on their way to public welfare activities, they discussed Liu Xiu very enthusiastically.

Liu Xiu's fight against Garnett brought more emotions to the Western All-Stars, not fear, but more to let them understand some of Liu Xiu's character traits.

Temper is not as good as looks.

Fighting thieves are very powerful, they are ruthless, and they don't give the opponent a chance to fight back.

Garnett couldn't find many uninjured spots on his body, but none of them were major injuries, and it was the kind of injury that would make Garnett hurt for a long time... ruthless, but measured.

They came to the conclusion in their discussion that a person like Liu Xiu would be fine if he didn't mess with him.

There are also people who have a lot of goodwill with Liu Xiu, such as a man who calls himself a power forward.

Maurice Cheeks greeted the interim players and turned the matter over to Kevin Pritt.

Kevin Plitcha ran a few tactics with the temporary players, and the preparations were over, just wait for the game at night.

Although there were not many negative emotions towards Liu Xiu, not many people took the initiative to talk to Liu Xiu, only Tian Zun and Yao Ming, who always stood by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu didn't care about this situation either, but was happy and relaxed.

The one-hour training time passed quickly. Maurice Cheeks announced the end of the training. When we met at the game in the evening, Banks, Garnett's agent, came and found Liu Xiu with a small cart.

In front of the Western All-Stars, Banks said to Liu Xiu: "Warden, these are the leather shoes and suitcases that were paid to you. They are the same style as you were soiled. We have contacted Caroline for the suit. I'm going to make a new set of the room, sorry for causing you trouble... I still have something to go to the hospital, so I won't bother you for now.”

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, Liu Xiu didn't even realize what happened. Anyway, it seemed that all the lost property had come back!

also helped my aunt to add an order!

Handmade, this profit...

But what is the situation?

That trick works so well?

It wasn't a bad thing anyway, so Liu Xiu accepted it.

And this, the impact on the Western All-Stars is extremely strong.

Tianzun secretly ran to make a phone call.

"Mero, that guy's agent sent the compensation."

"Okay, I know."

"Do you want to tell the warden about this?"

"Don't tell him, I don't want to listen to the All-Star players for the time being... Fake, you are also an All-Star, goodbye... Dudududu..."

Tianzun held the phone speechless for a while before hanging up.

A warden, a mining bandit leader, not normal!

On the other side, Banks got the news that the people who were guarding outside Garnett's ward at the hospital had all left, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so frustrating, but there's nothing I can do!

He is misappropriating the assets of his players and sucking the blood of the players. But because of this, he pays more attention to the players' ability to attract money. If the players can't make money, what does he use?

When was surrounded by reporters, he could only bite the bullet and say that Garnett and Liu Xiu didn't win the fight, and he had to reveal that Garnett was the one who was killed first.

Now, at least I have dealt with this matter.

He spent tens of thousands of dollars and got ten times... No, he can get it back a hundred times!

At 7:30 pm on February 14, 2004, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the first half-hour performance ended, and the players' admission ceremony began!

First of all, the East and West All-Stars appeared one after another in the host's introduction.

Then, the Eastern Conference All-Star starter and the Western Conference All-Star starter alternate one after another.

McGrady, Kobe, Carter, Liu Xiu... Because of the fight, whether Liu Xiu can play has become the focus of attention.

Although he is the All-Star ticket king, Liu Xiu is the second All-Star to appear in the West, following Kobe Bryant.

When Liu Xiu appeared in the spotlight, the scene was noisy.

All-Star Game, the Staples Center has more than twice as many seats as the regular game. The host gave a lot of effort to guide, and then smoothly continued to introduce the remaining All-Star starters.

24 All-Stars, became 23.

Garnett temporarily withdrew from this All-Star Game. Due to the tragic hurry, the league has no alternate players and no alternates.

Because of Garnett's absence, O'Neal was put into the starting forward position by Morris Cheeks, and he partnered with Yao Ming and Duncan for the three towers. As the leader of the Western All-Stars, he was the last to play.

The fans were chatting about the fight at noon, and the TV commentators were naturally discussing the fight...

These controversies about Liu Xiu will not be mentioned for the time being.

On the court, after the players of the two teams entered the field, O'Neal and Carter used a dance to divert the attention of the fans.

When O'Neal invited Yao Ming to dance, Yao Ming twisted helplessly, causing bursts of laughter.

No way, in order to divert the fans' focus, Yao Ming was forced to open business...

Liu Xiu's side, hide from the spotlight at this time, at this time, don't force the limelight.

To his surprise, but not to wonder, many opposing players took the initiative to talk to him.

Carter was the most direct, saying "Brother, you did a great job"...

Soon, at 7:58 pm, the two teams started to play.

Through the hard work of All-Stars such as Shaquille O'Neal, fans returned their attention to the game itself.

was the last to appear as a starter. Maurice Cheeks gave O'Neal enough face. O'Neal accepted this request and gave him the reward he deserved.

Liu Xiu went on the court and was ready to take a cut, made two shots, finished the first stage of the All-Star Game, and left the arena.

The Alliance said that recently, it is best to refuse all interviews, and interviews with domestic media, and also have to be selective.

But just after playing, a very unexpected system prompt came...

All-Star Game, a group of All-Stars can be chosen by him, and whoever he wants to copy can be copied.

but…

"BUFF: Triggered by Mamba players.

Trigger player: Kobe Bryant, if the host chooses to copy Kobe Bryant, he can randomly copy an additional talent. "

Liu Xiu immediately chose to copy his teammate as Kobe.

"The Great Mage:

The state of the game.

Copy teammate: Kobe Bryant.

Characteristics Transformation talent: physical strength, bonus effect…

Extra copy: good at ability transformation Talent: center booster, bonus effect: when inside teammates receive a pass from the host, there is a certain probability that they will enter a hot state, and there is a certain probability that it is easier to find the rhythm of shooting or passing... (Note: The probability is affected by factors such as the match between the insider and the host, the degree of tacit understanding, the strength of the insider players...

Liu Xiu was a little confused.

The talent copied from Kobe is very fierce, which is within Liu Xiu's expectation.

After all, Kobe is also one of the best shooting guards in NBA history.

After he got the "Mamba Player" buff, he was looking forward to the next match against the Lakers.

but! Didn't expect it to trigger at this time!

Liu Xiu's first All-Star tour, played 5 minutes, 2 points and 1 assist. The score was a counterattack dunk, and the assist was a mid-range shot for Yao Ming, and it was gone.

After was replaced, Liu Xiu left the scene with the team doctor.

The league's statement to the TV stations was that they left the game due to injury.

Anyway, even the narrator doesn't believe it. How many people believe in front of the TV is a matter of opinion…

However, Liu Xiu was not on the sidelines, and the camera was not constantly given to him, and the topics the commentators talked about were also transferred from Liu Xiu back to the game itself.

10 fights 12, the Western Army is really not at a loss!

The insider advantage is too great!

We were 10 points behind 8-18 at the start, but after Yao Ming and O'Neal were on the court at the same time, the West team had the upper hand.

Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carter and other outside superstars worked hard to fight the hard steel of the West Army.

However, Yao Ming scored 18 points on 8 of 11 shots, Duncan scored 16 points on 6 of 8 shots, Nowitzki scored 12 points on 4 of 4 shots, and Rasheed Wallace scored 17 points on 7 of 10 shots. …Add Kobe with 20 points and 8 assists, Kassel with 16 points and 7 assists, and Kirilenko with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks…

In the end, the West team reversed the East team 151 to 135. O'Neal scored a game-high 26 points, plus 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, and won the Most Valuable Player Award in the All-Star Game.

Wonderful game, the absolute dominance of several super insiders in the Western Forces with Kobe and Cassell passing the ball, Ray Allen and Peja opening up the space, will attract the attention of the fans on the spot and in front of the TV Pull back the game itself.

After the game, T.N.T sports commentator Barkley mentioned a statistic when evaluating the strength gap between the East and the West - since Jordan retired for the second time, this is the 5th All-Star Game, the West has won 4 times, and the East has won the only one. That time, it was Iverson who scored 15 points in a row at the last moment + Marbury's quasi-lore, and the East team won 111 to 110.

The topic of was once again led to the fact that the west is strong and the east is weak.

The 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend came to an end.

Lakers fans are happy, Spurs fans are happy, Kings and Mavericks fans are happy too... The only Western teams with top insiders are the Timberwolves... and the Blazers fans are not happy.

On the morning of February 15, Liu Xiu boarded the charter flight back to Portland with his family and teammates.

The cruise ship left this morning, that thing is too ostentatious, Liu Xiu has to reduce public appearances, reduce trouble, and play down the impact of fights these days.

Liu Xiu was also very happy.

But on the charter flight back to Portland, there was no Tianzun.

Tianzun also had to go back to Portland first, but he refused the Trail Blazers to give him a ride.

After returning to Los Angeles, Liu Xiu and Randolph followed the coaching staff back to the arena. The All-Star Weekend has ended, which means the second half of the season is about to begin!

Garnett's matter has passed, and Liu Xiu doesn't care about the negative impact.

After the All-Star Weekend, Tianzun doesn't even belong to the Western Conference players now, and Liu Xiu has accepted this.

Look ahead and see the new teammates first.

Yesterday morning, the Suns and Antonio McDyess reached a buyout agreement.

The Suns don't plan to keep McDyess. Now that they are cut, they can be easily smashed. Of course, it doesn't matter if they are not cut. It is enough to not let McDyess play, or let him play at inappropriate times and reduce his contribution.

But Colangelo Jr., under the lobbying of John Nash and Bill Duffy, agreed to buy out McDyess to earn a favor.

McDyess arrived in Portland yesterday evening. The Trail Blazers officially announced this morning that they will sign McDyess on a minimum salary contract until the end of the season.

McDyess played 18 consecutive games after joining the Suns in the middle of the season, averaging 7.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1 steal in 21 minutes per game. It seems that he has indeed come out of the injury cloud that lasted for two and a half seasons.

The Blazers officially announced the signing, and the media commented that McDyess was the replacement for Tianzun that the Blazers were looking for... The Blazers deal was criticized again.

When Liu Xiu came to the arena, McDyess was testing.

Signing the contract first and then testing it shows the respect the Blazers have for McDyess... The main reason is that McDyess doesn't want to join the Blazers, and the reason is naturally related to Liu Xiu...

Fortunately, in the end, on the face of Bill Duffy, the contract was successfully signed.

The other two newly added players are also waiting for the official meeting with the coaching staff in the arena.

Both Randolph and Liu Xiu are here. The three of them are not surprised. The three of them are definitely important players for the team in the second half of the season.

It's just... When I saw Liu Xiu, the three of them had the same idea - is such a gentle and handsome guy really so violent?

Thanks to the two leaders who listened carefully to the wind and rain.

Another eldest brother with 4 books together, the leader of the alliance, my God, how can I start to sigh about the passage of time for the young and handsome Xiaofeng who is only 18 years old? no no no...
