Healing Basketball

Chapter 1073

It is quite surprising that the Trail Blazers ended the first half of the season with 6 consecutive victories.

Because the opponents in these 6 games are not weak.

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

Based on the situation this season, the No. 50 in the East and West has the ability to win 50 wins. Of course, whether they can win [-] wins is another matter. It is just a comparison with previous years.

Before that, 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 Trail Blazers smashed the Thunder. The season's total points just reached 1800 points, with an average of 34.5 points per game and 6 points left.

除了场均34.5分，刘秀还有9.2板6.5助攻3.2抢断1.3盖帽……

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

The pressure in the middle of this year's season is much greater than in the past. He also takes more shots than in previous years, and his scoring performance is very good, but his shooting percentage has been slightly affected, but not much. It has dropped by less than 48.6 percentage point from 1% in the early stage.

Durant, No. 2 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. 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.

What's interesting is that Kobe and James rank third and fourth on the scoring list. No.2 Durant, so far this season, has only 52 single-game 3+ in 40 games.

Liu Xiu's scoring is very stable, and the increase in scoring average is due to the single-month average of 1 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 35 times this season with 12+ 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 overall 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!
Judging from the game situation in the first 2 days of February, February is the best month, and it is estimated that it will not escape the palm of James.

詹姆斯打到现在52场比赛，场均29.5分7.5板8.4助攻1.8强点1.2盖帽。

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

He averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game, which is also a career high, with a 33% three-point shooting rate, which is a level that can be shot.

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

东部半程战绩：骑士队41胜11负第一、魔术队39胜13负第二、凯尔特人队38胜14负第三、老鹰队37胜15负第四、猛龙队37胜15负第五、公牛队36胜16负第六、活塞队32胜20负第七、山猫队29胜23负第八、尼克斯队27胜25负第九……

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.

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

西部半程战绩：湖人队42胜10负第一、马刺队41胜11负第二、森林狼队38胜14负第三、开拓者队37胜15负第四、太阳队36胜16负第五、小牛队36胜16负第六、掘金队34胜18负第七、火箭队31胜21负第八、黄蜂队29胜23负第九、雷霆队27胜25负第十……

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.

From the eighth to the tenth, the three youth teams are like three sticks. Whoever enters the playoffs will cause No. 1 a headache. If two enter the playoffs, it may disrupt the situation in the playoffs.

But the No. 11 Jazz has no hope of the playoffs at all, which means that the Rockets, Hornets, and Thunder must have one of the three sticks in the playoffs.

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

In the assist list, Nash returned to the top with an average of 11 assists per game!Overwhelmed Deron, who averaged 10.3 assists per game.

Liu Xiu ranks first in steals. No.2 Rondo averaged 2.3 steals per game. Paul did not play enough games to enter the rankings, but he averaged 2.5 steals per game, which is far behind Liu Xiu's average of 3.2 steals per game.

In the block list, Oden continued to dominate the list with an average of 3.3 blocks per game, leading the beasts with 0.5 blocks per game.

In the rookie rankings, Evans is in the first rank, with a gap in the middle, followed by 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, withdrew from the rookie game, and 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 ranked second and third respectively. Jennings and Curry did not deal with each other, and Rose and Warden did not deal with each other very well.

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

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

Western 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.

Plus Liu Xiu, Anthony, Duncan, and Kwame Brown to form the Western Conference 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 for 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. Morey couldn't get enough to eat, and Bynum nourished him to the point where he didn't want it.

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 someone's 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, took pictures of his lower body and posted them on the Internet... all are nothing.

Ever since, as the only center with an average of 20+ per game so far this season, Bynum, who averaged 21 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2 blocks per game, with a good record, few coaches voted for him.

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

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

‘小詹姆斯’约什-史密斯没入选全明星，倒是让人感到遗憾，他场均15分8板5.6助攻1.6抢断2.1盖帽的数据很是拉风。

But Liu Xiu remembers that this all-round fighter who knows a little bit has never been selected as an All-Star in his entire career.

Apart from defense, he has no outstanding strengths, and he can't do what he is asked to do 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.

...

After arriving in Dallas, Liu Xiu started working in the afternoon and carried out business activities.

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

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu continued his business activities.

On the 13th, the day of the rookie game, 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!
库里27分、詹宁斯33分、布莱尔22分23板、埃文斯26分6板17助攻，四人带领新秀队从比赛一开始就按着二年级队打。

龟龟下半场半场13分10板11助攻，全场21分16板18助攻，成为了新秀赛历史上第二个拿到三双的球员，与典狱长比肩。

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 time since Liu Xiu that a rookie has won the rookie game MVP after 5 years.

The wheels of history are rolling, and just like Liu Xiu's impression, the talented and talented 08 class has not waited for them to take off, and the 09 class with even more talent has already been flying dragons.

On the second day, it was another day for Qing'er to grit her teeth.

On February 2th, 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 bring the baby together, right?

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

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

But it's 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 2th, Liu Xiu joined the All-Star team and came to Arlington County, more than 15 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 20 people. .

A total of 106813 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 live spectators of the indoor basketball game!
The previous record, held by the NCAA Basketball Tournament Finals, was 95521.

The number of spectators before the NBA was 62046, a record set in a game between the Bulls and the Eagles in March 98.

When Liu Xiu arrived in Dallas, he received a ticket for a large box and a few front-row tickets from Cuban. He didn't give him 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 skills 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 30s, he will definitely not Will be 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 9:10 am to [-]:[-] am, a fan carnival was held.

From 10:30 to 12:2000, the East team of the visiting team will conduct public training. The 2 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 7:7 p.m., the Cowboys Stadium begins the pregame show, and the entrance ceremony at 20:[-]...

There were more than 10 people at the scene, and Liu Xiu felt the atmosphere ignite 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 had a sprained knee, it wasn't serious, it could be treated conservatively, and he had no problem playing games, but for just one week, he decided to go for platelet-rich repair treatment.

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

But Nowitzki chose to eliminate the hidden danger of 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 here, and the 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 it only knows how to play some boring tricks.

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

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the All-Star Game starts!
The Eastern team sent Wade, McGrady, James, Garnett, Randolph's starting lineup.

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

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

Singles, 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 40 points 36 to 4. 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 he made two three-pointers, then scored two points with a counter-attack dunk, and then scored 5 consecutive mid-range shots and offensive frames. 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-ranked student in scoring, and Little Rose, who was placed high on the league's high hopes, were a pair of dual-core All-Stars for the first time. They watched the warden run away with their mouths wide open.

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

Little Rose: So those 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 points 101 to 23!
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.

On the western side, Duncan, Gasol, and Horford are the core of the 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 catchers or pie-eating centers, and they have not gathered the strength of the team at all.

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

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

刘秀全场打了39分钟，33投20中，其中三分球13中7，加上6中6的罚球，拿到53分14板2助攻4抢断！

加上安东尼的27分、邓肯的10分12板6助攻、大加索尔的6分4板7助攻……

Beat 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 close to fans every year. Some people may only see each other once in their lives, even if those people are his most important fans.

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

He and the fans will have less expectations.

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 began to work again. On the second day, February 2, he celebrated his 17th birthday.

There was 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 thought he was still a child!

A few teammates came to visit his house and gave gifts, but he didn't keep any of them. It's not good to keep anyone or not.

But they didn't 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 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 2, Liu Xiuman's first game after turning 18 came, and he played against the Lakers at home.

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

刘秀拿到28分、雷-阿伦22分、夸梅-布朗15分、希尔10分、法外狂徒15分、迪奥10分……开拓者队全队拿到109分，力克拿到98分的湖人队，终结湖人队6连胜。

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.

这次湖人队靠着科比的22分8板4助攻、德隆的14分8板6助攻、王治郅的13分8板4助攻、奥多姆的10分22板、大卫-韦斯特的19分，以99比92回敬开拓者队一场，终结了开拓者队7连胜。

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 off in Los Angeles, on the 22nd, the Blazers came to Phoenix to 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 dragged their feet on 22 of 6 three-pointers.

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

Liu Xiu returned to Portland with the team on the 23rd, and saw the news that Carter was traded!
The Magic sent Courtney Lee, Ralph Alston, Tony Batty, and got Carter from the Pistons!
刘秀看了下三人的数据，二年级的考特尼-李，这赛季场均12.5分4.1板1.2助攻1.2抢断；阿尔斯通场均6.2分2.9助攻；托尼-巴蒂场均3.6分3.2板。

Alstom's salary is US$505 million, and Tony Batty's is US$629 million, both of which are contract years.

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

The core bargaining chip is Courtney Lee, an older rookie in the 08 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 have been trying to find a way to send Carter's big contract away.

But are the Magic out of their wits?

With two expiring contracts and a contract for an immediate rookie who is only in the second grade, if he adds some chips, he may be able to give away Lewis' contract.

Carter is starting to enjoy basketball!

Now Carter, there is no need to doubt his competitiveness, there is 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 for Beast, and Lewis is a bad player. Unless Beast is packaged and traded for Lewis, they can only exchange Lewis's rubbish contract for another rubbish contract.

Liu Xiu looked at the lineup of the Pistons 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 4700 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 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.

In the past few years, there have been two draft picks, and Stuckey and Jerebko were selected. 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 money!

However, their prison team is the defending champion, and the core lineup is the winning lineup of last season.

到了24号，开拓者队主场以107比85大胜快船队，刘秀拿到44分7板6助攻，拿下本赛季第16次单场40+！

Liu Xiu estimated that the Clippers didn't know how much they regretted not choosing a point guard in 08.

It is said that Griffin is recovering very well and has started to receive confrontational training, and 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. 09 pick in [-] after getting Beard, Kaman and others!

In 09, if Griffin was not selected for the No. [-] pick, who would he choose?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 a mess.

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

到了26号和27号，开拓者队在主场背靠背中遭遇两连败，89比95输给了凯尔特人队、103比122输给了爵士队。

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

Being swept away by the Celtics, Liu Xiu already has experience.

A two-game losing streak ended February, and the Trail Blazers are 2-58 in 40 games.

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 3 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.

3月2号，开拓者队客场以102比93击败篮网队，拉开了5连客的序幕。

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, seem to have finally begun to cooperate with each other tacitly.

The main reason is that the trade deadline is here, and they haven't come up with anything.

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 08 made them full of hope.

On the 7th, the Trail Blazers came to Memphis and defeated the Grizzlies 108-95, 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 his little apprentice who had become an excellent third man inside.

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

Rejecting 5 million US dollars for 4000 years, this, Liu Xiu thinks it is not a big problem.

In terms of performance, it is true that Yi Jianlian has such a worth.

But you have to count the commercial value.

With Yi Jianlian playing, 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 was more thoughtful-ask the master first about this kind of matter.

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 doesn't do this kind of offending thing, 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'.

Not to mention, in terms of this aspect, Liu Xiu felt that Yi Jianlian was right to choose Fei Gen as his manager. This guy has a thick skin!
Put Bill Duffy in the same situation, he can't do anything as cheeky as Fegan.

Because of Fagan's operation, the Timberwolves really increased the offer to 4 million US dollars for 4400 years, the number of years was reduced by 1 year, and the total salary increased by 400 million US dollars.

However, he and Yao Ming don't 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 from the loss of "loyalty", and was PUAed by Mosaic. He became hard here, and he walked away as soon as he said it. Seeing that they are making money, the top management didn't think about lowering the price at all, and directly sent 25% of the salary cap to the top salary, for fear that Yao Ming would enter the free market and give up the idea of ​​leaving.

Feigen was very aggressive and thoughtful, while Bill Duffy focused on being steady. What Liu Xiu needed was such a steady agent.

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