Healing Basketball Chapter 431

   Chapter 431 431. I am in self-defense! (9500 words)

   The warden is full of strength, and the referee appreciates it very much. The two technical prisoners gave the warden as parting gifts today.

Worried that the warden would run back to 'whip the corpse', the referee warmly escorted the warden into the player tunnel, watched the warden disappear around the corner, and waited for a while before returning to the court to deal with it. Follow-up.

   Liu Xiu entered the locker room for a while, and not long after, the vice president also entered the locker room and brought the team doctor with him.

   The vice-president stared at Liu Xiu with his hips on his back. When Liu Xiu saw this, he put on a handsome pose, and the vice-president was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

   After taking two deep breaths, the vice president said helplessly, "Let Wei Rui check your arm for you. Your arm wasn't feeling well just now, right? Don't hurt your arm."

   "How is it possible, I, the warden, the general, the strongest man in the NBA, such a trivial matter, how can I need a team doctor to check..."

   Liu Xiu quickly brought his elbow to the team doctor, which startled the team doctor.

   Thomas Carter is not in Portland tonight. The team doctor in charge of sideline observation and medical preparation is Weary Andrew, a member of Thomas Carter's medical team.

  The team doctor checked and initially determined that there was no problem. A little redness and pain were the normal reactions.

  Liu Xiu didn't receive any injury notification and knew that she was not injured, just to reassure the vice president.

   After waiting for the team doctor to leave, the vice president said angrily: "Is it okay? Wait for the suspension! I told you to calm down when you encounter things! Don't you regret it now?"

   "I'm sorry, I could have gotten 40 points tonight!"

   This matter, he really regrets it!

   The system reminded him just now that his data for tonight was frozen, with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

   Played for almost 6 minutes in the third quarter, and scored 9 points in these 6 minutes!

   With the game experience in the first half, when he played in the third quarter, he was more proficient in using the talent of 'Beast'.

  The bonus of talent does not need to be specially adapted. After getting the bonus, it feels as natural as you already have it, but how to use the bonus is another matter. It takes time to understand how to make better use of it.

   Judging from the second half of the game, he really felt that he had a chance to rush 40+.

   The key is that this time there is a chance, mainly because the Pacers were caught off guard. The Pacers obviously did not expect his impact to be so fierce. When the Pacers are ready next time, it will be difficult for the Pacers to prepare.

and also…

   "If O'Neal comes on stage next time, it will be difficult for me to get a high score! My score is 40..."

   The vice president nodded when he heard the words: "If O'Neal can play, the Pacers will be more difficult to deal with. He is absent, and the Pacers' strength is estimated to have dropped by 30%... No, is this what I regret?"

  The healing value was in hand, Liu Xiu knew what the vice president was talking about, and replied: "Boss, I understand what you mean, but if you ask me to do it again, I will still call back."

   The vice president smiled wryly and shook his head: "I knew you would say that. He wants to beat you and has already acted. You absolutely cannot hold back your breath... Why are you so proud! Am I complimenting you!"

   So angry!

   This kid actually raised his chin on his hips!

   The key, even in this sand sculpture pose, can look very handsome by that face, which is totally unreasonable.

   couldn't take it anymore, and the vice president angrily shouted, "Get out of here! Leave the arena!"

   "Yes, yes, I have to leave quickly. I will be in trouble when the reporter arrives." Liu Xiu immediately went to her closet to pack her things, and didn't even take a shower.

   Can you not be so smart!

   The vice president, who pretended to be angry and failed to pretend to be successful, took out his mobile phone in desperation: "I will ask the staff to notify your family..."

  Liu Xiu said while packing up: "I just asked the madman to tell them to go to the parking lot."

   The vice president pinched his thigh, the warden can always heal him in a place where what he has to say doesn't really matter...

  Liu Xiu packed up and went to the parking lot accompanied by the vice president.

  Liu Xiu's family has a lot of people to watch the ball, and two nanny cars have come, so it's no problem to carry one more person.

After chatting with Liu Xiu's family, the vice president sent Liu Xiu away.

   Seeing the two cars leave the parking lot, the vice president was very relieved.

   In these respects, Liu Xiu is very easy to arrange, he will not make things more troublesome like other young players.

   The vice president felt that Liu Xiu directly beat Artest to the point of incapacitation, just because he was afraid of trouble.

But also a bit speechless, the warden really doesn't say anything about loyalty at this time, and he walks so succinctly. From packing up to leaving with his family, his movements are smoother than when he beat Artest. !

   All troubles are left to their management!

   Over there on the field.

  Everything happened so quickly and suddenly that many fans at the scene didn't know what was going on. One person from each of the two teams had already left the stadium. The difference was that one side went out vertically and the other sideways.

  Fortunately, these days, there are videos to prove it. The big screen on the scene repeatedly replayed the scene just now. The director was very powerful and repeatedly played the scene where Artest elbowed Liu Xiu and was subdued by Liu Xiu's counterattack.

   The fans at the scene quickly became irritable, cheering for Liu Xiu, scolding Artest, scolding the Pacers, and scolding the referee.

  Why was the warden sent out, and the one who made the first move was not punished... Uh, he was carried out, that's all right.

   For the players of the two teams, it was not a bad thing that the matter was over before they could react. It saved them the trouble of 'to fight or not to fight'.

   Not to mention that the relationship between the players on the two teams is very good.

   If you really want to fight, the warden has already knocked out the thugs on the opposite side. Who should the Blazers players fight?

  Really 'whip corpse'?

The    Pacers players also have no desire to fight.

   If you only saw Liu Xiu beating Artest, then even if the relationship was good before, Tianzun and the gold medalist would definitely help Artest.

   But they saw Artest's incomprehensible behavior.

  The game was finally restarted after being interrupted for a while.

  Reggie Miller replaced Artest to perform additional penalties and two technical free throws.

  If Artest is not impulsive, he will deduct 2+1 every other person, which may indeed be an opportunity for the Pacers to make a comeback.

But now, although Reggie Miller hit all three free throws to help the Pacers narrow the lead to 12 points to 66-78 and have another chance to reduce the lead to nine points, morale has dropped. Even worse than when they trailed by 17 points.

   The Blazers players are full of fighting spirit and full of anger!

   It is quite rare for the person who went out sideways to be at a loss. The people present tonight and the fans in front of the TV really got it.

   The Blazers scored 24 points and the Pacers scored 21 points with a little more time left in the quarter.

  In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Pacers 102-87, winning 5 consecutive victories! The record improved to 41 wins and 12 losses!

  The game was won, and the Blazers players breathed a sigh of relief. When the warden left, he left a ten-point lead and they couldn't keep it. It would be too shameful.

   But the coaches are one head and two big.

  The coach said to Hollins: "The warden is really, it's too impulsive."

   Hollins nodded: "Yes, after he subdued Artest, he shouldn't have started."

   The coach continued: "It would be great to secretly go and release Artest after the game. I have to do it in front of so many people."

  Hollins covered his head: "…"

   When the game was over, Liu Xiu had already returned home, and Qinger hurriedly turned on the TV just to see the end of the game.

   "Win... win..."

  Qinger jumped up and down with excitement when she saw the score.

   Sister-in-law was having fun, and Anne Hathaway really wanted to join.

   But her parents-in-law, aunts and uncles were also there, so she could only endure it and keep her demeanor as a lady.

Dad actually stood in front of the TV earlier than Qing'er, but after seeing the score, he seemed to say indifferently: "It turns out that it takes more than half an hour to get home, and it takes more than an hour for each traffic jam? If every game All three quarters are enough to seal the victory."

   Ignoring Dad's whims, Liu Xiu looked at the system prompt he just received.

   "Muxiu Yulin:

   Goal 1: The host must score the highest in the game. (Host score: 24, highest scoring player other than host: Damon Stoudemire, 22, done.)

   Goal 2: The host needs to be higher than Ron Artest in steals and blocks in this game. (Host: 3 steals and 2 blocks, Ron Artest 2 steals and 1 block, completed.)

   Goal 3: The host needs to help the team win this game. (completed.)

  Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: Strength +1 (Advanced), which can be used by the host after completing the strength training task. "

   Liu Xiu glanced at the TV. Momonga's 22 points almost surpassed him, and Tinsley's 21 points on the opposite side was also very dangerous!

   Luck is good.

   And the block he gave Artest before he was sent out, he was lucky too.

The    mission was completed, and the losses caused by counterattacking Artest were reduced by half.

   After celebrating for a while, Qing'er was a little angry again: "Fortunately we won, if we lose, brother, let's go to the hospital and beat Artest again!"

  Liu Xiu patted Qing'er's head: "How can a girl be so violent? We must use love to influence the world, and we must pursue love and peace."

   As soon as these words came out, the laughter in the lounge was completely uncontrollable.

   Coincidentally, the conflict between Liu Xiu and Artest happened on the TV screen.

Qing Er excitedly explained: "Brother, your dodge is so handsome, wow wow, how did you do this, how did you push him to the ground all of a sudden? Here we come! Iron elbow... ah! Don't cover my eyes..."

   When Qinger 'sees the light again', the TV has switched channels. Seeing her mother holding the remote control, she can only sit down angrily.

The uncle complained: "Xiu'er, just you? Use love to influence the world? I remember that when you first came to the United States, you were bullied and found me. I thought you were going to fight with me, but I didn't expect you to ask me to borrow it. Money for you to learn boxing."

My aunt complained: "After you can win the fight later, you try your best to find fault with those who bully you, beat them again and again, the school can't do anything about you, and every time you ask them, 'You are discriminating against you. Me', haha..."

   Liu Xiu's head was covered with black lines. He really remembered that there was such a dark history in the memory he inherited, but Anne Hathaway couldn't help laughing.

   Auntie called Anne Hathaway aside to talk about Liu Xiu coming to the United States to study at university.

  The mother turned on the nagging mode to Liu Xiu: "Xiu'er, when you are abroad, don't be so impulsive when encountering things, safety is the most important..."

Dad couldn't help but retort: ​​"Don't listen to what your mother said, next time you encounter this kind of thing, you have to be decisive like this, don't hesitate, it's a big deal to lose money, it's not that you have no money, losing money is better than being beaten, you Start fast, like today is the right thing to do.

   If you are beaten and fight back, you have to lose money if you are beaten. That's a loss. It's the safest to let your opponent not fight first.

  By the way, you have to remember that the United States is too liberal and democratic, and you have to pay attention to whether the other party has that thing..."

   Dad was very excited tonight, and his words were much rarer.

   But before he could finish speaking, his mother yelled, "Are you teaching children like this?"

   Dad finally stood up for half a minute, and was yelled at again so he didn't dare to speak.

   But he told Liu Xiu with his eyes: Xiu Er did a great job tonight!

  After the All-Star Weekend, the enthusiasm of basketball fans has increased greatly, and the ratings of the game have rebounded significantly.

  The league arranged a lot of strong matchups and a lot of topical games after the All-Star Weekend.

This year's competition is under too much pressure, especially in the Western Conference. The 10 teams with a winning percentage of over 50% would have had one more playoff-level team if it wasn't for Kobe's long-term injury and Tomjanovich's repeated illness and forced retirement. Powerhouse.

   Then the West is not the Wild West, but the Dead West.

Whether it's a team sprinting for a playoff spot or a team working hard for home-court advantage, they all do their best to play better and win more victories, which in turn spawned many wonderful individual shows. Or a team show.

  Some strong duels and topical games are arranged by the league.

  Like the night of the 23rd, the Lakers and the Heat played against each other for the second time this season, which was arranged by the league, but because of Kobe Bryant's season reimbursement, this game was 90% less interesting.

   But this game lost its focus due to an accident, but there was another game that no one expected to be a favorite before the start of the season - the Mavericks played the Suns away.

Just as they have played against each other in the past two times this season, the two teams played as fiercely as possible. In the first quarter, they scored a crazy score of 38-40. The Suns trailed by 2 points and entered the second quarter. Nowitzki exploded in the first quarter. Scored 17 points and started his runaway night, and Nash had 6 assists in a single quarter in the first quarter, not much less.

In the next three quarters, the two teams continued to engage in a fierce offensive battle. With the experience of the first two matches, the Mavericks did not worry about being able to defend, so they attacked. After the whole game, Nowitzki made 15 of 31 shots, of which 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 22 of 23 free throws, soared to a career-high 54 points in a single game; the Suns were more blossoming, Nash scored 28 points and 16 assists, Quentin Richardson 16 points, Stoudemire had 22 points, Marion had 20 points, and Joe Johnson had 16 points and 6 assists.

   In the end, with Quentin Richardson hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Suns beat the Mavericks 125-123.

   This game brings together many popular elements such as Nowitzki joining the Air Slasher League, Cuban not giving Nash tens of millions of annual salary, and Nash is now going to win the MVP, revenge, offensive battle... and many other popular elements.

The Mavericks and the Suns are both quite popular, but the common characteristics of the two teams are that they have not yet achieved substantial honors, there is no real super popular superstar, and there are many fans watching their games, but except for local fans, most of them are rushing. Passers-by fans who watch the game with their strong strength and beautiful style of play.

   This feature means that their games are sometimes surprisingly hot and very popular.

   But if there's something more appealing, they sometimes don't get the spotlight despite their crazy performances.

   For example, tonight, the warden stole the limelight!

  The Son of Wind wanted to consider whether to continue to teach the warden pick-and-roll; the King of Silver Horn was both fortunate and painful. No one said them after losing, which was good, but the career high of 54 points was ignored and a little unwilling.

   The clip of Liu Xiu killing Artest in seconds, not long after Liu Xiu was expelled from the game, has begun to spread rapidly on the Internet.

From Artest's arrogant celebration, to Artest's sudden sneak attack and elbow attack on Liu Xiu, to Liu Xiu dodging the elbow and counterattacking uniform to kill Artest, and then to Liu Xiu's revenge-style elbow KO Artest Special ... only a total of ten seconds.

   But precisely because it only takes ten seconds, the content is smooth, one-stop, and covers all the content. It is not too much to make a GIF image in one frame, which is more conducive to dissemination!

   The first reaction of people who see this video clip or GIF - is this a movie clip?

too exaggerated!

When    avoided Artest's elbow, with Artest's maddened appearance at the time, it was possible that he would have developed a sense of precaution in advance.

   But the counter-attack uniform at the back kills in seconds, there are not many such wonderful pictures in the movie, let alone the fight in reality.

   But the brawl was covered by the mainstream media, and footage of the match played on the TV news!

  In addition to fighting athletes, athletes in other competitive sports basically fight with all kinds of punches, and they are stronger and more solid than others.

   When I arrived at Liu Xiu, the painting style was completely different!

  Seckill! KO!

  Because it was Liu Xiu who fought, so the attention is not limited to basketball fans.

   Ice hockey fans, and even some sports fans of competitive fighting events, came to watch.

   In the eyes of many boxing fans and wrestling fans, Liu Xiu's fighting power is not inferior to that of professional fighting athletes.

Netizens are omnipotent, and there are fans with strong computer expertise and a lot of experience in boxing and wrestling. They made dismantling pictures and slow-motion clips of the circulating video of Liu Xiu killing Artest in seconds. Some remarks for netizens to discuss...

   Although Liu Xiu has a very bad reputation in this area, passers-by saw relevant news about him and thought that he fought with his opponents every game. He had the template impression of the Bad Boys Army, and many people directly set him on Liu Xiu.

   But in fact, the last time he had a video-recorded fight was during his career debut, and he fought again after more than a year, and the topic was hot!

  Someone remembered Liu Xiu's opener fight, and went to dig out the video and repost it online.

The video of the    warden's first show of fighting has also gone viral.

Not to mention, after watching it again after more than a year, the video still made the fans 'blooded'. During the group fight, the warden wandered in the crowd to help his teammates, and took the two pits of Momonga and extrajudicial fanatics. Complete the feat of winning more with less...

   But after comparing the two videos, even those who don't understand fighting skills can find Liu Xiu's soaring combat effectiveness!

   Counterattack Artest This time, from dodging to instant kill, it feels like it didn't take a little more effort!

  People have a weird idea: After the warden entered the NBA for more than a year, is basketball technology more advanced? Or is the fighting strength improved more?

   The scene where Liu Xiu counterattacked and subdued Artest was very popular, but most of the popularity was propped up by passers-by.

   The hottest discussion is the scene of Liu Xiu's retaliatory elbow after subduing Artest.

  This clip is obviously more likely to cause controversy and cause quarrels among fans. The direction of media coverage is also mainly focused on this point, guiding fans with highly tendentious remarks.

  Liu Xiuben is a very popular and controversial player with many fans, but there may be more black fans than fans.

  'Artest has already been subdued, so why is he still elbowing? ', 'Artest's malicious actions are wrong, but you have avoided it, there is something you can't talk about and have to retaliate' such remarks have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

   In order to guide public opinion in this direction, some media and individuals even portrayed Artest as a "victim".

   is such a funny remark, and some people actually believe it!

  Since there are those who have been successfully guided by the media, naturally there are also those who are disgusted by those outrageous and destructive remarks.

  Many passers-by fans stood on the same line as Liu Xiu's fans, and fought passionately with those who criticized Liu Xiu.

   The media portrayed Artest as a 'victim', and these people sent pictures of Artest trying to elbow Liu Xiu everywhere, and called this act a 'terrorist attack'.

   These topics are still "serious", and there is a group of fans who are not so "serious", who are like a breath of fresh air in the hot basketball season.

  Many fans who were tired of the quarrel were attracted by them and followed the discussion.

  Question: How much is Garnett fighting?

  The Wolf King vs. the Warden in the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Game was widely circulated and has become an inherent impression of the relationship between the Wolf King and the Warden.

   Seeing that Artest was hammered like that, there was no chance to fight back at all. Although Garnett was also sent to the hospital, he had a fight with Liu Xiu.

   So, the question arises - is Artest's combat effectiveness too poor? Or is the wolf king's fighting power too strong?

   "I remember that the laws of the United States allow me to take up arms to prevent others from illegally infringing. My body is my strongest weapon. Do you think I should be beaten by him while standing and not allow me to defend myself?"

"Just because I dodged and he didn't hit me, he doesn't have to take any responsibility? What's the logic, I have to stand still and get hurt by him, then cry like a victim, it's 'normal' people'?"

"No matter who does such an action to me on purpose, I will defend myself. I am a tolerant and generous person, but if someone wants to do something bad, he has to think about what the consequences will be... By the way, if I didn't have time at the time If I fight back, I will defend myself afterwards.”

   At 7:30 pm on February 24, 2005, T.N.T Sports broadcast an exclusive interview on the prime news program.

  The famous commentator and former NBA superstar Charles Barkley conducted an exclusive interview with the warden who is currently in the whirlpool of public opinion.

   During the interview, Barkley's questions seemed to be tricky, unreasonable, virgin, deliberately finding faults... But in fact, they all gave Liu Xiu room to answer.

  Liu Xiu's answer is good or bad, Barkley does not make comments, but he expresses his appreciation for Liu Xiu's attitude.

   Bill Duffy, who was watching TV together at Liu Xiu's house, was desperate: "Jess, didn't you agree that you won't be interviewed if you don't have to?"

   At this moment, Bill Duffy wants to hang himself up, destroy it!

   He arrived in Portland overnight last night, and came to Liu Xiu's house early this morning to help Liu Xiu with suggestions and to reduce the negative impact.

   For example, asking Liu Xiu to apologize publicly... being directly rejected by Liu Xiu.

   In addition to this, Bill Duffy has no other way to reduce the negative impact. He bought the draft, and bought it last night. The NBA officials are buying the draft and pressing the heat, but the effect is average.

  Since the negative voices cannot be suppressed, then the negative impact will not be expanded. The NBA official issued an internal notice this morning, prohibiting the players of each team from publicly expressing their opinions on this matter.

  Bill Duffy also repeatedly told Liu Xiu not to be interviewed.

but…

Seeing Bill Duffy's expression of 'you will kill me with an elbow', Liu Xiuzhen was very embarrassed: "Isn't it impossible to refuse? My two All-Star vote kings, Fliggy are all great heroes, I have to Give back his favor."

  Bill Duffy replied angrily: "When will it be impossible to repay the favor? Do you want it now?"

   "Besides this time, when will I be able to repay others' favors?"

   "Uh... yes ha..."

"Bill, don't worry about this. Anyway, the interview has already been broadcast, and regretting it is useless...Cough, Bill, look, I said this, who would dare to attack me like this in the future? I'm actually trying to avoid it from happening again in the future. things!"

  Bill Duffy's resentful eyes became more and more speechless. Only if you believed in the warden's evil would you believe this nonsense!

   But if you think about it carefully, maybe it can really have such an effect.

Indeed, regret is useless. Bill Duffy took a deep breath and returned to his professional state: "Jess, don't talk too much next, wait for this matter to pass! For the next period of time, you'd better not show up in public. , don't give those reporters a chance to interview you, hide for a while... Hey, I don't know how the NBA will punish you."

   Liu Xiu replied: "They will definitely find a way to reduce the punishment."

  Bill Duffy nodded: "That's right, Stern's side probably wants to hit you more than me...cough, I didn't say anything!"

  Thinking of this, Bill Duffy suddenly felt less broken down.

  Humanity, always shining bright…

The popularity of    Warden KO Artest remained high. After the Pacers announced Artest's injury at noon, it triggered another wave of public opinion.

  Artest's jaw was dislocated, two big teeth were knocked out, some of the big teeth were loose, the cheekbones were slightly fractured, and there was a moderate concussion.

  The implant restoration of the teeth has been completed, and it is expected that he will need to be hospitalized for one to two weeks for observation. If he wants to come back to participate in the competition, it is estimated that he will be in April, and he needs to wear professional facial protective equipment.

   Fights like this are rare in the history of the NBA, and they are not serious.

   This wave of public opinion is in full swing, and Liu Xiu's exclusive interview on "I just want to take revenge" followed.

   This is tantamount to giving the NBA official a backstab who is pressing the heat.

  Stern wants to have a baby!

   But the word 'justifiable defense' is on fire.

   On the morning of February 25, the official NBA press conference was long overdue.

   First of all, Stu-Jackson announced the results of the investigation of the "Warden KO Incident" and severely reprimanded Artest's attempt to elbow Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu's retaliatory elbow.

   Finally, Stu Jackson announced the penalty decision under pressure.

  Artest was given two additional technical fouls.

  Liu Xiu was fined $100,000 and suspended for 7 games.

   There is a demarcation line for the number of suspended games. A suspension of 8 or more games means a suspension of at least two weeks, that is, a "super-long suspension". Generally, it is a very serious punishment. There is no express provision, but the practice has always been like this.

   also means that NBA officials believe that Liu Xiu's KO of Artest is not 'very serious'.

   And the NBA official believes that the matter was caused by Artest, and the conventional penalty Artest received, like Liu Xiu, was ejected from the game, rather than being injured and left as a 'victim'.

   After the results of the investigation and the decision on punishment were announced, it naturally caused an uproar.

  Some people say that the alliance shields Liu Xiu and bows to the Chinese market.

  Some people say that the NBA is still the NBA, a league full of crime.

  Some people say that the NBA's official decision is just, Liu Xiu's suspension is justified, but Artest is not innocent.

  Some people say that this has nothing to do with justice or not, nor is it covering up anyone, it is just a simple interest...

   The impact of Liu Xiu's KO of Artest continued, but the progress of the regular season did not stop.

After the Blazers received the league's penalty notice, the coaching staff finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   7 games, much lighter than the 10 to 15 game long ban they expected.

   In the evening, without Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers ushered in the fourth opponent of the 5th consecutive home team, the Timberwolves.

  If the Pacers lack Jermaine O'Neal, their strength will drop by 30%; then Liu Xiu is absent, and the Blazers' strength has dropped by more than a notch!

   The team's scoring leader + assisting leader + stealing leader is absent, and is still a player averaging 30 points per game. Liu Xiu's role in the Blazers is definitely greater than Jermaine O'Neal's role in the Pacers.

   In addition, Liu Xiu is an ironman-level player, with an average playing time of nearly 41 minutes per game. The first 53 games of this season are full attendance. Liu Xiu can't play, and his teammates are not used to it.

   Also, Garnett is paired with the big meat shield of Przebyla, let alone Randolph. If Duncan, Yao Ming, and O'Neal come, it will be very hard to fight.

Tonight, Randolph was only 7 of 18 from the field and only had 17 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, although Raheem scored 26 points on 8 of 15 shots and 10 of 11 free throws tonight, and the flying squirrel scored 10 points. 4 assists, Kwame Brown scored 10 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, and the Blazers still lost.

   Garnett scored 17 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Kassel 17 points, 4 assists, Madman 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Przybilla 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks...

  91 to 83, the Timberwolves defeated the Blazers by 8 points, ending the Blazers' 5-game winning streak.

   Fighting, getting worse reputation, being fined, suspended without salary... These things, Liu Xiu doesn't regret returning the elbow.

  Because of being suspended, he was unable to help the team and his teammates, which caused everyone to lose, which made him feel tortured.

   But the matter was over, he didn't bother anymore. He devoted himself to the training task of the 'Advanced Strength Card'. During the suspension period, he used the strength training card first to improve his strength.

   In fact, a better choice is to play every day, rest, and put all your physical strength into simulation training.

   Originally, his plan was to only train for strength tasks on the afternoon of the match day. It doesn't matter if all the training tasks are not completed this season. It is not so urgent to practice again in the offseason.

   But he has a rare feeling of 'can't sit still'. If he doesn't do anything, he always feels unhappy, so it's better to practice this.

  So, when the source sold the candid video of Liu Xiu doing irons and boxing in the gym of the Rose Garden Arena, fans who wondered what he was doing after he was suspended were speechless.

   Still think your fighting power is not enough? After being suspended, what you do is not to train your skills well and play a beautiful comeback after the suspension, but to run to practice boxing?

   Do you feel unwilling to kill Artest with one elbow?

   There are many people who think this way, and Blazers owner Paul Allen is one of them.

   After learning that Liu Xiu was suspended from the competition, he was playing iron all day long, and his whole person was not well.

   But compared to last year's anger after the fight with the Pistons, he now finds he can accept the Warden's "justifiable defense."

   After discovering that he had such a change in mentality, his whole person became even worse.

   However, there is one more thing that makes him desperate now - he feels that he is not compatible with his team!

   For the first time in the new season, he played against the defending champion. He happily went to the scene to watch the game. Although he won, he fought! The star has been suspended for 7 games!

  Paul Allen has been questioning his secretary from time to time these two days: "Am I not worthy to watch my team's game?"

  The secretary may be a little more tormented. He has to come up with an answer that is at least a little different every time to deal with the boss.

  The time came to February 27th, at 8:00 in the morning, the vice president came to the boss's home in Portland, got into the boss's car, and headed to the airport.

   After getting in the car, the vice president couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Boss, are you not going to watch tonight's game?"

  Today is the last game day of the Trail Blazers in February, and the last game of the 5 consecutive home games against the Detroit Pistons.

  This game has a very interesting aspect, it has nothing to do with fighting, it is about a season achievement - beat all opponents at least once in the regular season.

   In other words, 'Refuse to be swept away'.

   So far this season, 28 teams have been swept by at least one team.

   There are only two teams left to complete the achievement of "Refuse to be Sweeped", one team is the Suns, and the other is the Trail Blazers!

  Paul Allen planned to watch this game during the All-Star Weekend, and deliberately evened out the time, from playing the Pacers to the Pistons, and watching 3 games in a row.

   But yesterday afternoon, the vice president who was ready for a business trip to New York this morning received a notice from the boss that the boss of the job would go in person, and of course, he would also go with him as his deputy.

   This time, if the boss goes with him, it will naturally be more stable. The vice president is happy, just curious.

  Paul Allen replied impatiently: "Jess can't play, what can we do to win the Pistons, I feel uncomfortable watching the loss, why don't we go to New York to help you sign."

   The vice president didn't continue to be in trouble, and sat quietly by the side. Having a private plane to fly, there is a higher probability of completing the work goal. Of course, it is very good. As for why, it is actually not that important.

   But, at the airport, when he saw the word 'Paul' on the plane's fuselage on the shuttle bus, a question mark appeared on the vice president's head.

As a qualified vice president, he really knows the two words   .

Chinese media often come to the team. Everyone likes to ask their Chinese name and how to write it. Kevin Plitcha is too difficult to remember. He can't remember how to write his Chinese name, but the boss's No matter how hard it is to remember, you have to remember.

   And the name of the boss is not difficult to remember, but the Chinese name of the team management and coaching staff is the best to remember.

   After getting off the shuttle, the vice president curiously walked to the other side of the plane.

   On the other side of the fuselage, the words 'Alan' are written in big letters!
