Healing Basketball Chapter 33

Chapter 33 33. Alternative Summer League Overlord (4500 words for collection and tickets!)

Anne-Hathaway's management team is not overwhelmed these days, but it feels a lot of trouble, that's for sure.

Love affairs have little effect on NBA player Liu Xiu.

But for Anne Hathaway, the impact is not small.

But this matter is yours, and Liu Xiu has done nothing wrong. Anne-Hathaway and his management team have discussed it, and they can only take cold treatment.

Who would have thought, Liu Xiu suddenly made such remarks...

Watching the news trend begin to change, there are a lot of news saying that she was unkind, pitiful, and scum... Anne Hathaway's mood is very complicated.

It was just an appointment at a special time and in a special environment.

This is normal in the American world.

Annie Hathaway's assistant Ellie Sanders sighed: "Annie, our big beauty is really attractive, did he deliberately say this for your career?"

"Maybe…"

Anne Hathaway thinks so too.

In the brief contact, although she didn't know Liu Xiu very well, she could see that Liu Xiu was not the kind of person with a hard brain.

Anne-Hathaway shook her head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter anyway, I'm an actor, he's a handsome player surrounded by countless beauties..."

There are more good-looking actresses, and more good-looking men. There are more than a dozen NBA lottery draws every year…

On Liu Xiu's side, there were some lace news during the three-day break, which basically had no effect on him.

On August 2nd, at Delta Air Lines Arena in Salt Lake City, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers is about to start.

Liu Xiu moved her body on the sidelines, attracting cheers from the female fans on the scene.

"Jess, why do you still have so many female fans? No, there seem to be more!" Travis Outlaw was envious.

"I'm also a little surprised, maybe... they all want me?"

This cheek is so thick! But Travis Outlaw has to admit that this face is really handsome.

Liu Xiu was also quite surprised. After he said that yesterday, Bill Duffy went to the hotel where the Blazers stayed at night, complaining that his fan support would drop.

It is rare to have so many fans as a Blazers player, and she is also a female fan with strong spending power.

But the actual situation is not the same.

But it doesn't matter. Liu Xiu's attention is not here. When he is on the court, his attention is on the game and on the opponent's players.

The Clippers have selected two centers this year, one is Chris Kaman, who has had some calls for the No. 1 pick, and the other is 18-year-old Greek shark Soff Chris Skenatis.

The Greek Shark is unable to play in the NBA because of his contract, but the Clippers have another rookie, Matt Barnes, who was selected by the Grizzlies with the 17th overall pick in the second round last year.

Liu Xiu's attention was on Matt Barnes, because as soon as he looked at the tough-looking small forward, he found that the other party was staring at him, and the two stared at each other, no one wanted to recognize him. Coward, whoever looks away first is a dog!

Travis Outlaw leaned over next to Liu Xiu: "Jess, look, the players on the opposite side are really jealous of you and are eyeing you. This guy is not a good person. Last year, he fought with his opponent in the summer league. He was cut by the Cavaliers, and no team was willing to give him a contract for a year."

Jealousy, this is normal.

The grudges between people are sometimes very simple, and jealousy is one of the reasons why it is easy to attract grudges.

doesn't make sense, maybe Matt Barnes doesn't know the actress Anne Hathaway.

But as a young player, Liu Xiu can be so good-looking, be in the news, and be able to... It's very enviable.

What Liu Xiu said yesterday was widely reported. At first, not many people knew about it. Now North American athletes basically know about it.

The circle is that big.

Hearing that the high school students seemed to be gloating, Liu Xiu chose to be a dog, tilted his neck and looked up at Travis Outlaw and said, "You are all small forwards..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Travis Outlaw didn't know why, and then saw Liu Xiu turn his head and roar towards the opposite side...

"The opposite Matt Barnes, look here, this, our team's talented high school student small forward, he's going to blow you up tonight! Clean your **** and wait!"

After speaking, Liu Xiu tilted his neck and looked up at Travis Outlaw again and said: "Come on, hit him hard, beat him up, if he hits you, I will help you, trust me, he hits I'll pay him twice as much as you give me."

Travis Outlaw stunned - thank you!

He regretted it so much, but he felt regretful that he wanted to recognize the guy in front of him as the boss once again!

He swore that he would never recognize this guy as the boss in his life!

Liu Xiu's sudden provocation before the game...helping his teammates provocatively stunned the players, coaches...even the referee.

This is… looking for conflict?

The referee should be cautious, if there are fights in the summer league, it will affect the professional development!

One of the parties, Matt Barnes, was at a loss, saying that he was stimulated, and he felt speechless.

Staring at each other before the game, or even rude words, this is a common thing, Liu Xiu's operation...

Anyway, Blazers assistant Kevin Pritchard is not well.

Thinking about when Liu Xiu first came, although he wasn't a good baby, he was still pretty good.

But now... 'Our team is really cursed? Who will learn bad? '

At 3 p.m., the game between the Blazers and the Clippers started.

The summer league teams of the two teams are very different. The Blazers are good at attacking and the Clippers are good at defending.

This is the difference brought about by the characteristics of the NBA players of the two teams.

As for the Blazers, Liu Xiu combed the offense, Travis Outlaw was the main offense, Matt Carroll responded to the shot and has a decent setter ability. Playing a game around the three is definitely offense.

They have won all 4 preliminaries, and the three of them are more and more confident in their cooperation. Although Liu Xiu often 'beats' his teammates, he always mentions 'how to be in the NBA'. In the Rocky Mountain Summer League, the three of them are very confident. It is the 'Big Three' of this event!

In terms of the Clippers, Barnes and Kaman are both defensive players, one is on the striker and the other is a center, and it is easy to build a defensive system.

The college players of the two teams are not the top players, which means that they are basically not the core of their respective college teams. They are very good at team offense and defense, and they are also players selected by the two teams around the rookies. After the preliminaries, with Time to adjust tactics and play even better than in the preliminaries!

From the perspective of the scene, after the game started, the Blazers had the advantage.

But the score has been delayed!

The defensive team is tough enough, which is reflected in the Clippers.

Although I don't know why, since the high school rookie opposite was provocative, Barnes, who has a tough personality, naturally had to fight Travis Outlaw well.

Kaman is a boring gourd, but he also knows to show himself well. Summer League says that it is not important, but it is not important, but if the games that are not important are not far away, it is difficult for him to accept that he is the best player in the 2003 class.

When the second official timeout entered at 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Clippers 11-7 by 4 points, and Liu Xiu was replaced.

Kevin Plitcha has two purposes for replacing Liu Xiu. One is to let Liu Xiu rest for a while.

Another is to compare the difference between Liu Xiu's presence and absence.

At the end of the first quarter, taking advantage of the 4 minutes when Liu Xiu was replaced, the Clippers played a wave of 8 to 3! 15 to 14, the Clippers overtook the Blazers by 1 point!

In the second quarter, Kevin Plitcha replaced Liu Xiu again, and Travis Outlaw was young and energetic, and continued to play.

The Blazers have always been outstanding in their ability to develop players. Liu Xiu is characterized by strong tactical execution ability, while Travis Outlaw needs a lot of playing time to get used to the rhythm of adults.

After the start of the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchard chatted on the sidelines.

"I found out when I played against the Cavaliers that Jayce has a pretty good defensive mobility." Morris Cheeks said with a smug tone.

was pretended to be by this guy again, Kevin Plitcha laughed: "You sound like you have such ability..."

"I have it. I was a superstar back then, not like a role player like you."

This Nima, can we still have a good chat?

Why is it getting more and more... showy?

An idea flashed in Kevin Plitcha's mind... Did Liu Xiulai and the others learn badly? Or will their team become more excessive because of Liu Xiu?

Anyway, Morris-Cheeks has been more and more fond of telling hard truths lately.

The thought of Kevin Prittcha flashed by, just for a moment.

If Liu Xiu knew what Kevin Prittcha was thinking, he would tell him one word, which would easily ease those grief and anger-everything is dead...

On the court, after the two teams played a game, they both had a certain understanding of each other's characteristics, and also had a clear feeling about the other party's competitive state tonight.

Hit the first official timeout in the second quarter, and the score between the two teams was still very low.

It can be seen in the first quarter that although the Trail Blazers once had the advantage of the scene and the score, the score was far lower than the previous game. That is to say, in fact, the Trail Blazers were brought into the slow pace of the Clippers. , so he was quickly overtaken after Liu Xiu was replaced.

Because of Liu Xiu's excellent tactical execution ability, he led the team to play tactics steadily in a slowed-down rhythm.

In the three minutes before the second quarter, Matt Barnes led the Clippers to speed up their defensive rotations, and they were more active in supplementary defense and defense. In these three minutes, the Trail Blazers only scored 4 points, 18 to 20. The Blazers trailed by two points.

Entered the official timeout. Seeing that the coaching staff did not make any substitutions, Liu Xiu directly pulled a few teammates to discuss on the court.

After playing so many summer league games, Liu Xiu is already very clear. For this level of competition, let's not talk about whether the coaching staff has the time to adjust. Even if there is, it may not be able to play. Not enough, but for most college players, they don't have the ability to execute those on-the-spot changes.

At this time, the coaching staff makes adjustments, and there is a high probability that the players on the field will not be able to adjust according to their own feelings.

Soon, the timeout ended, the Trail Blazers had the ball, and the center served.

Liu Xiu received the ball and attacked.

Travis Outlaw's movement was more aggressive, and Andre Dion flanked Travis Outlaw's pick-and-roll and took Kaman out.

At this time, Barnes' defensive awareness showed, shrinking back to the basket... being pushed away from the side!

Barnes turned his head and saw that Liu Xiutu made a layup inside!

The Trail Blazers have three players creating opportunities for Travis Outlaw, a player on the bottom line on the right, pinning the opposing team to the forward, a pitcher moving in the left corner, and a center picking and rolling for him...but actually This round's main attack is Liu Xiu!

"Heal +47, from Matt Barnes."

Liu Xiu patted the opposing arm and turned to retreat.

Tonight, the opponent's mood swings are obviously more than usual because of him! The more the total volume, the more emotional fluctuations about basketball and him.

And the quality! Obviously, the healing value provided by the opponent tonight is higher than usual. In the same situation, it will always be higher.

What Liu Xiu points to is not the fire in the girl's heart, but the fire in the hearts of other basketball players...

The strength on the court... This is his own strength. He simply relies on the game itself to make his opponents have more emotional fluctuations. There is no problem in the summer league, but can he enter the NBA?

But he found his unique advantage, so he had to make good use of it...

In his student days, there was a concept full of innocence—he was just good-looking, so good grades were more important.

It is only when I grow up that I realize that it is really important to look good.

This will definitely make his basketball career more bumpy, and it will bring more targets... But it takes effort to gain!

On the court, the score was tied, and the Clippers had to work hard to score again.

The Clippers' style of play in the Rocky Mountain Summer League this time is similar to that of the Pistons in the playoffs. Their coach Mike Dunleavy has the ability. Seeing that Kaman has the potential to become a defensive core center, he will decisively move in this direction. nourish.

But with this lineup, after purely playing defense and slowing down the tempo, scoring is really difficult!

This time the Clippers attacked, the Trail Blazers defended a flank to block, and gave the opponent a strong tactic in the middle.

Not to mention, Matt Barnes, although he has almost no offensive ability in the NBA, was one of the main scorers in college, and this time the Blazers gave him the opportunity to do so.

Barnes hit the rim with the ball in the middle, layup...missed! Interrupted!

Liu Xiu retracted and grabbed the defensive rebound. The Clippers blocked the defense very quickly, and the Trail Blazers did not play a counterattack, but Liu Xiu tried his best to speed up the rhythm and create opportunities for positional battles!

Barnes has a good defensive awareness, is very active, has a lot of defensive talent...but he is still too young! inexperienced!

Liu Xiu rushed to the frame, Barnes immediately retracted, Liu Xiu lobbed the ball, Barnes took a step back, but Liu Xiu did not throw the ball into the air, but threw it to the middle on the left rear ...Travis Outlaw cuts in the middle to catch the ball, his legs rise like springs, and he smashes the ball into the basket!

22 to 20, go-ahead score!

On the court, Liu Xiu helped the team regain the initiative through an official suspension adjustment.

And unlike the first stanza, this time it was really taking the initiative and starting to pull the rhythm in the direction they were used to.

The pace of the game is still slow, and the score is still low, but in some stages, Travis Outlaw's speed, the impact of the athletic interior... have been better utilized.

The two coaches of the Blazers on the sidelines watched this situation, and they knew that they were going to prepare for the semifinals.

Obviously, because of a player like Liu Xiu, even the team with the No. 1 overall pick and the No. 3 overall pick here is unlikely to be the opponent of their Trail Blazers.

One-on-one basketball, Liu Xiu is not their opponent, but with a group of college students playing tactics, these people can't beat Liu Xiu.

The trio of Liu Xiu, Travis Outlaw, and Matt Carroll are giants here.

That's great! In the eyes of the two of them, Liu Xiu is too good!

is not about personal ability, but about the characteristics of play!

Looking at Liu Xiu, they saw hope—hope to connect the group of big-level players of the Blazers together!

Pippen used to do this, but Pippen couldn't hold it last season, and the team didn't plan to renew his contract...

The management's actions, the two knew that they wanted to break through and stand up, but the two of them still wanted to struggle!

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket! A wave of investment without new book investment! Thanks! One more chapter tonight~
