Healing Basketball

Chapter 431 431. This is self-defense! (9500 words)
The warden was full of force, and the referee appreciated it very much. The two technical prisoners gave the warden a parting gift for today.

Worried that the warden would run back to 'whip the corpse', the referee warmly escorted the warden to 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 matters.

Liu Xiu entered the locker room and stayed there for a while. After a while, 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 akimbo. Seeing this, Liu Xiu put on a handsome pose, and the vice president was so angry that he almost lost his breath.

After taking two deep breaths, the vice president said helplessly, "Let Wei Rui check your arm for you. Your arm didn't feel good just now, did it? Don't hurt your arm."

"How is it possible, me, the warden, the general, the strongest man in the NBA, such a trivial matter, I don't need to be checked by the team doctor..."

As Liu Xiu said, he quickly sent 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 Wery Andrew, who is a member of Thomas Carter's medical team.

The team doctor checked and preliminarily determined that there was no problem. Some redness and pain were the expected reactions.

Liu Xiu didn't receive an injury alert, and knew she wasn't injured, just to reassure the vice president.

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

"Sorry, I could have scored 40 points tonight!"

He really regrets this matter!

刚才系统提示，他今晚的数据定格了，24分5板6助攻3盖帽2抢断。

Played for almost 6 minutes in the third quarter, and scored 6 points in these 9 minutes!
With the experience of the first half of the game, when he played in the third quarter, he was already more proficient in using the talent of 'The Beast'.

There is no need to specially adapt to the bonus of talent. After getting the bonus, it feels as natural as if 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 half-quarter game after familiarization, he really felt that he had a chance to hit 40+.

The point is, this time he had a chance, mainly because he caught the Pacers by surprise. The Pacers obviously didn't expect his impact to be so strong. It will be difficult for the Pacers to prepare for the next match.

and also……

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

The vice president nodded when he heard the words: "If O'Neal can play the game, the Pacers will be more difficult to deal with. Without him, the Pacers' strength is estimated to have dropped by 30%... No, is this what I mean by regret?"

With the healing value in hand, Liu Xiu knew what the vice president was talking about, and responded, "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 wanted to hit you and he had already acted. There is absolutely no way you can hold back...Why are you so proud! Am I praising you!"

So angry!
This kid actually raised his chin with his hips crossed!

The point is, even in this sand sculpture pose, it is unreasonable to rely on that face to look handsome.

I couldn't take it anymore, the vice president angrily said, "Get out of here! Get out of the arena!"

"Yes, yes, I have to leave quickly. I will be in trouble when the reporter comes." Liu Xiu immediately went to her closet to pack her things, and even stopped taking a shower.

Can you not be so smart!
The vice president, who pretended to be angry but didn't succeed in pretending to be angry, took out his mobile phone in despair: "I'll ask the staff to notify your family..."

Liu Xiu said while packing her things, "I just asked the lunatics to tell them to go to the parking lot."

The vice president pinched his thigh, the warden can always heal him in this kind of place where what he has to say is actually irrelevant...

After Liu Xiu packed her things, she was accompanied by the vice president to the parking lot.

There were a lot of people at Liu Xiu's house to watch the game, and two nanny cars came, so it was no problem to carry one more person.

After exchanging pleasantries with Liu Xiu's family members, the vice president sent Liu Xiu away.

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

In these aspects, Liu Xiu is very well arranged. He will not insist on doing anything like other young players to make things more troublesome.

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

But he was also a little speechless. The warden really didn't show any loyalty at this time, and he walked so simply. From packing his luggage to leaving with his family, his movements were smoother than when he beat Artest. !

Leave the troubles to their management!
...

Over there.

Everything happened so fast and suddenly that many fans at the scene didn't know what happened. One person from each team had already left the field. The difference was that one side went out vertically and the other sideways.

Fortunately, these days, there are videos to prove it. The scene just played back the scene repeatedly on the big screen.

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

Why was the warden sent out, but the one who did it first was not punished... Uh, he was carried out, so it's fine.

For the players of the two teams, it is not a bad thing that the matter is over before they react, and it saves them the trouble of "playing or not playing".

Let's not say that the relationship between the players on the field of the two teams is very good.

If we really want to fight, the warden has already KO'd the mob on the opposite side, who should the Trail Blazers players fight?

Really 'whip corpse'?
Pacers players also have no desire to fight.

If you only saw the scene of 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.

After a period of hiatus, the game finally resumed.

Reggie Miller replaced Artest to execute additional penalties and made two free throws for technical offenders.

If Artest is not impulsive, his 2+1 dunk from another person may indeed become an opportunity for the Pacers to comeback.

But now, although Reggie Miller made all three free throws to help the Pacers reduce the point difference to 12 points, the score chased to 66 to 78, and there was another chance to reduce the point difference to 9 points, but the morale was low. Even more sluggish than when they trailed by 17 points.

And the Trail Blazers players are full of fighting spirit and full of anger!
It is quite rare for the person who went out sideways to make a mistake. The people present tonight and the fans in front of the TV really made a profit.

In the remaining quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 24 points and the Pacers scored 21 points.

最终，开拓者队以102比87击败步行者队，5连胜到手！战绩提升至41胜12负！
After winning the game, the Trail Blazers players breathed a sigh of relief. When the warden left a lead of more than ten points, they couldn't keep it, so it would be too embarrassing.

But the coaches are one head and two big.

The coach said to Hollins: "The warden is really, really impulsive."

Hollins nodded: "Yes, he shouldn't have done it after subduing Artest."

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

Hollins covered his head: "..."

...

At the end of the game, Liu Xiu had already returned home, and Qing Er hurriedly turned on the TV just in time to see the end of the game.

"Win...win..."

Qing'er jumped up and down excitedly when she saw the score.

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

But her father-in-law, mother-in-law and uncles and aunts were also there, so she could only bear with it and maintain her ladylike demeanor.

In fact, Dad stood in front of the TV earlier than Qinger, but after seeing the score, he said indifferently: "It takes more than half an hour to get home, and each traffic jam takes more than an hour? If every game It would be nice to be able to seal the victory in three quarters."

Ignoring her father's whims, Liu Xiu looked at the system prompt she just received.

"Wood show in forest:

Objective 1: The host must score the highest score in the game. (Host score: 24 points, highest scorer other than host: Damon Stoudemire 22 points, completed.)
目标2：宿主本场比赛抢断和盖帽均需高于罗恩-阿泰斯特。（宿主：3抢断2盖帽，罗恩-阿泰斯特2抢断1盖帽，已完成。）
Objective 3: The host needs to help the team win the game. (completed.)
Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: strength +1 (advanced), which can be used after the host completes the strength training task. "

Liu Xiu glanced at the TV, Little Flying Squirrel almost surpassed him with 22 points, and Tinsley's 21 points on the opposite side was also very dangerous!
Good luck.

And the block to Artest before he was sent off was also very lucky.

The task was accomplished, and the losses caused by counterattacking Artest were reduced by more than 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 on the head: "How can a girl be so violent? We want to influence the world with love and pursue love and peace."

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

Coincidentally, the TV screen just started to broadcast the conflict between Liu Xiu and Artest.

Qing'er acted as an explanation excitedly: "Brother, brother, your dodge is so handsome, wow, how did you do it, how did you push him to the ground all of a sudden? Come on, come on! Brother's super dodge!" Iron Elbow... Ah! Don't blindfold me..."

When Qing'er 'saw the light again', the TV had switched channels, and seeing her mother holding the remote control, she could only sit down resentfully.

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

My aunt continued to complain: "After you won the fight, you tried your best to find fault with those who bullied you. You hit them again and again, and the school couldn't do anything about you. Every time you asked them 'Are you discriminating against me? Me', haha..."

Liu Xiu's head was full of black lines, he really remembered that there was such a dark history in his inherited memory, Anne-Hathaway couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing this, my aunt called Anne Hathaway aside and talked about Liu Xiu's coming to the United States to study in college.

The mother started nagging Liu Xiu: "Xiuer, when you are abroad, don't be so impulsive when encountering things. Safety is the most important..."

The old man couldn't help retorting: "Don't listen to what your mother said, next time you encounter this kind of thing, you have to be as decisive as this, and you can't hesitate. At worst, you lose money. It's not that you don't have money. Losing money is better than being beaten. You Start fast, like today is the right thing to do.

If you fight back after being beaten, you have to lose money if you are beaten. That is a loss. It is the safest way to let the opponent pay back first.

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

Dad was very excited tonight, and he had a lot to say.

But before he finished speaking, his mother yelled at him: "Do you teach children like this?"

After finally getting up for half a minute, the old man was yelled at again so that he dared not 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 sharply.

After the All-Star Weekend, the league has arranged many strong duels and many topical games.

This year's competitive pressure is too great, especially in the West. The 10 teams with a winning percentage of over 5% would have had one more playoff-level team if it wasn't for Kobe's long-term injuries and Tomjanovich's repeated illnesses that forced him to retire. Powerhouse.

Then the West would not be the Wild West, but the Dead West.

Whether it is a team that is starting to sprint for a playoff spot or a team that is working hard for home court advantage, they all try their best to perform better and win more victories, which in turn gave birth to many wonderful individual shows Or a team show.

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

Like on 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 Kobe was reimbursed for the season, this game lost [-]% of its highlights.

But this game lost its spectacle because of an accident, but there was another game that no one expected to become a popular game before the start of the season-the Mavericks played the Suns away.

Just like their past two matches this season, the two teams played as fiercely as possible. In the first quarter, they scored a crazy score of 38 to 40. The Suns fell behind by 2 points and entered the second quarter. Scoring 17 points started his runaway night, and Nash had 6 assists in a single quarter in the first quarter, which is not too much.

In the next three quarters, the two teams continued to engage in fierce offensive battles. With the experience of the previous two matches, the Mavericks did not worry about whether they could defend themselves. They just attacked. After the game, Nowitzki made 31 of 15 shots, including 5 of 2 three-pointers, plus 23 of 22 free throws, a career-high 54 points in a single game; Stoudemire 28 points, Marion 16 points, Joe - Johnson 16 points and 22 assists.

In the end, relying on Quentin Richardson's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Suns beat the Mavericks 125-123.

This game brought together Nowitzki's joining the Air Slasher Alliance, Cuban's failure to give Nash an annual salary of tens of millions, and Nash is now going to win the MVP, revenge, offensive battles... and many other popular elements.

Both the Mavericks and the Suns are very popular, but the two teams have the same characteristics—they haven’t won any substantial honors, and there are no real superstars. There are many fans watching their games, but except for local fans, most of them are Passerby fans who watched the game because of their strength and beautiful style of play.

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

But if there is something more attractive, they will not be the focus of attention even if they play crazy performances at times.

Like tonight, the warden stole the limelight!
The Son of the Wind wants to consider whether to continue teaching the warden the pick-and-roll; the Silver Horn King is thankful and pained, and no one talks about them after losing.

The clip of Liu Xiu killing Artest in seconds, started to spread rapidly on the Internet not long after Liu Xiu was ejected.

From Artest's arrogant celebration, to Artest's sudden attack on Liu Xiu with an elbow, to Liu Xiu dodging the elbow and counterattacking to subdue Artest, and then to Liu Xiu's revenge-like elbow to KO Artes Special... only a dozen seconds in total.

But precisely because it only lasts a dozen seconds, the content is smooth, coherent, and covers all the content. It is not too much to make a GIF picture, which is more conducive to dissemination!

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

too exaggerated!

The moment he dodged Artest's elbow, with Artest's perverted and crazy appearance at the time, it was possible that he would have developed a sense of defense in advance, and it was not a surprise to avoid it smoothly, but more because of his agility and quick response.

But in the back counterattack uniform spike, there are not many such wonderful scenes in the movie, let alone the real fight.

But the brawl was covered by the mainstream media and clips of the match were shown on the TV news!

Except for wrestling athletes, athletes in other competitive sports basically fight with eight punches, who are stronger and more skinny than anyone else.

When it comes to Liu Xiu, the style of painting is completely different!
Spike! KO!

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

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 professional fighting athletes.

Netizens are omnipotent. There are fans with excellent computer expertise and experience in boxing and wrestling. They made dismantling pictures and slow motion clips of the video of Liu Xiu killing Artest from various angles, plus Made some remarks for netizens to discuss...

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

But in fact, the last time he had a video-recorded fight was when he made his career debut. After more than a year, he fought again, and the topic remained hot!

Someone remembered Liu Xiu's fight in the opening match, and dug up the video and reposted it on the Internet.

The video of the warden's first brawl also went viral.

Not to mention, after watching it again after more than a year, that video still made the fans 'blood boil'. During the group fight, the warden wandered in the crowd to help his teammates, bringing the two little flying mice and the outlaws to fight back. Completed the feat of defeating more with less...

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

Countering Artest this time, from dodge to spike, it feels like it didn't take a little effort!
People came up with a weird idea: In the more than a year since the warden entered the NBA, has basketball technology improved more?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 supported by passers-by.

The more heated discussion was 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 reports is also mainly focused on this point, guiding the fans with highly tendentious remarks.

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

'Artest has been subdued, why elbow? ', 'It's wrong for Artest to act maliciously, but you have already avoided it. If there is anything you can't say that you must retaliate', such remarks have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

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

It's such a ridiculous statement, but someone really believes it!
Since there are those who have been successfully guided by the media, there are naturally those who feel disgusted when they see those outrageous and damaging remarks.

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

The media described Artest as a 'victim', and these people posted pictures of Artest trying to elbow Liu Xiu everywhere, calling this behavior a 'terrorist attack'.

...

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

Many fans who were tired of watching the quarrels were attracted by them to discuss with them.

Question: Garnett's combat effectiveness?
In the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Game, the wolf king fought against the warden. This incident has spread widely and has become people's 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. Although Garnett was also sent to the hospital, he had a fight with Liu Xiu anyway.

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

……

"I remember that the laws of the United States allow me to take up arms to prevent illegal infringement by others. My body is my most powerful weapon. Do you think I should stand and be beaten by him, and I am not allowed to defend myself?"

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

"No matter who deliberately acts like this to me, I will defend myself justifiably. I am a tolerant and magnanimous person, but if someone wants to do something bad, he has to think about the consequences... By the way, if I didn't If I have time to fight back, I will also defend myself legitimately afterwards."

2005年2月24号晚上7点30分，T.N.T体育在黄金档新闻节目中播放了一段专访。

Well-known 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 tricky, unreasonable, holy, deliberately finding fault... But in fact, they all gave Liu Xiu room to answer.

Barkley did not comment on whether Liu Xiu's answer was good or bad, but he expressed his appreciation for Liu Xiu's attitude.

Bill Duffy, who was watching TV at Liu Xiu's house, was very desperate: "Jess, didn't you say yes, don't accept interviews if it's not necessary?"

At this moment, Bill Duffy wanted to hang himself on the southeast branch, destroy it!
He rushed to Portland overnight last night, and came to Liu Xiu's house early this morning to help Liu Xiu make suggestions and reduce the negative impact.

For example, asking Liu Xiu to apologize publicly... Liu Xiu directly refused.

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

Since the negative voices cannot be suppressed, let’s not expand the negative impact. NBA officials issued an internal notice this morning, prohibiting players from all teams from publicly expressing their opinions on this matter.

Bill Duffy also repeatedly told Liu Xiu not to accept the interview.

but……

Seeing Bill Duffy's expression of "you can kill me with an elbow", Liu Xiuzhen was quite embarrassed: "Isn't it impossible to refuse? I have won the All-Star vote twice, and Fliggy is a great contributor. I have to Return his favor."

Bill Duffy responded angrily: "When can't you pay back the favor? Must it be now?"

"Besides when I can repay his favor at this time, when else can I repay it?"

"Uh...yeah..."

"Bill, don't worry about this. Anyway, the interview has already been aired, and it's useless to regret... Ahem, Bill, look, I said that, who would dare to attack me like this in the future? I'm actually trying to avoid it from happening again in the future Such a thing!"

Bill Duffy's resentful eyes became more and more speechless, he believed the warden's evil will believe this nonsense!

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

Indeed, it is useless to regret, Bill Duffy took a deep breath and resumed his professional state: "Jess, don't talk too much in the future, let this matter 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, just 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 probably wants to hit you more than me... Ahem, I didn't say anything!"

Thinking of this, Bill Duffy suddenly felt less broken.

Human nature, always shining light...

...

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 large teeth were knocked out, some of the large teeth were loose, a slight fracture of the cheekbone, and a moderate concussion.

The restoration of the dental implants has been completed, and it is estimated 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 face protection equipment.

Fighting like this is rare in NBA history, and it is not serious.

This wave of public opinion is raging, and Liu Xiu's "I want revenge" interview is coming soon.

This is tantamount to a backstab for the NBA officials who are pressing the heat.

Stern wants to get kicked!
But the word 'justifiable defense' is on fire.

On the morning of February 2th, the official NBA press conference was long overdue.

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

In the end, Stu Jackson announced the penalty decision under pressure.

Artest was added two technical fouls.

Liu Xiu was fined $10 and suspended for seven games.

There is a demarcation line for the number of bans. Suspension of 8 games or more means that the ban will exceed at least two weeks, that is, "ultra-long ban", which is generally a very serious punishment. There is no clear regulation, but the practice has always been like this.

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

Moreover, NBA officials believe that the incident was caused by Artest. Artest received the same regular punishment as Liu Xiu, who was expelled from the game, rather than being injured and left the game as a "victim".

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

Some people say that the alliance is shielding Liu Xiu and bowing to the Chinese market.

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

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

Some people also say that this has nothing to do with justice or not, nor is it to protect anyone, but purely for interests...

...

The impact of Liu Xiu's KO of Artest continues, but the progress of the regular season has not stopped.

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

7 games, which is much lighter than their expected 10 to 15 games long suspension.

At night, without Liu Xiu, the Trail Blazers ushered in their fourth opponent in five consecutive games, the Timberwolves.

If the Pacers lost Jermaine O'Neal, their strength dropped by 30%; then Liu Xiu's absence, the Trail Blazers' strength dropped by more than one level!

The team's scoring leader + assists leader + steals leader is absent, and he is still averaging 30 points per game. Liu Xiu's effect on the Trail Blazers is definitely greater than Jermaine O'Neal's effect on the Pacers.

Moreover, Liu Xiu is an ironman player, with an average playing time of nearly 41 minutes per game. In the first 53 games of this season, Liu Xiu was unable to play, and his teammates were not used to it.

Also, Garnett is paired with Pulzbila as a big tank, not to mention Randolph, if Duncan, Yao Ming, and O'Neal come, it will be very difficult to play.

今晚兰多夫只有18投7中，只打出了17分9板1助攻的表现，尽管拉希姆今晚15投8中外加11中10的罚球拿到26分、小飞鼠拿到10分4助攻、夸梅-布朗拿到10分12板4盖帽，开拓者队还是输了。

加内特拿到17分14板6助攻3抢断1盖帽、卡塞尔17分4助攻、狂人22分5板5助攻、普尔兹比拉7分6板3盖帽……

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

...

Fights, bad reputation, fines, suspensions and no salary... these things, Liu Xiu didn't regret paying back the elbow. At that time, he just felt that he would be sorry if he didn't pay back, and now he feels the same way.

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

But the matter has come to this point, and he didn't worry about it 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 a little.

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

His original plan was to only do strength training in the afternoon of the game day. It doesn't matter if he didn't complete all the training tasks this season. It's not so urgent to practice again during the offseason.

But it is rare for him to have the feeling of 'can't sit still'. He always feels unhappy when he doesn't do anything, so he might as well practice this.

Ever since, when the news source sold the sneak shot video of Liu Xiu in the gymnasium of the Rose Garden playing iron and boxing, those fans who were curious about what he was doing after being suspended were speechless.

Do you think you are not strong enough to fight?What to do after being suspended is not to train your skills well and play a beautiful comeback after coming back from the suspension, but to go to practice boxing?

Do you feel unwilling to beat Artest to death with one elbow?
There are many people with this idea, and Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen is one of them.

After learning that Liu Xiu was suspended from the game, he was playing iron all day long, and he was in a bad mood.

But compared to last year's anger after the fight with the Pistons, now he finds that he can accept the warden's 'justifiable self-defense'.

After discovering that such a mentality change had occurred in himself, he became even worse.

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

It was the first time he played against the defending champion in the new season. He went to the scene to watch the game happily. Although he won, there was a fight!The head star was suspended for 7 games!
Paul Allen sent soul torture to his secretary from time to time in the past 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 slightly different every time to deal with the boss.

The time came to February 2th, at 27:8 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 it is also the last game of 2 consecutive games. The opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

This game has a lot of attention, it has nothing to do with fighting, it is about a season's achievements-beating all opponents at least once in the regular season.

In other words, 'refuse to be swept'.

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 'refusing to be swept'. One team is the Suns, and the other team is the Trail Blazers!

Paul Allen planned to watch this game during the All-Star Weekend, and deliberately allocated time to come out. From playing the Pacers to playing the Pistons, he watched 3 games in a row.

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

If the boss goes with me this time, it will naturally be more stable. The vice president is happy, just curious.

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

The vice president did not continue to run into trouble, and sat quietly by the side. It is of course very good to have a private jet and have a higher probability of completing work goals. As for why, it is not that important.
