   Chapter 362 362. Opportunity for top back fights (615 supplements)

   On December 24, 2004, Liu Xiu's family spent a lazy time, and aunts and uncles, younger brothers and sisters also came to Liu Xiu's side.

   Compared with the new big house, my aunt and aunt still prefer Liu Xiu's house.

   On the one hand, it is a habit of living, and on the other hand, this house has witnessed that Liu Xiu has changed from needing the care of his aunt and uncle to a family that can help his aunt and uncle.

   At that time, my aunt had just resigned to start a business, and my uncle, who had always admired his wife's talent, sold a house for support. The family of three lived here together.

  Anne-Hathaway's parents also came to Liu Xiu's house in the morning, and saw that their daughter was so fascinated that she could only recognize her as a parent. Her son came out of the closet and her daughter fell in love with a famous playboy... Freedom! We believe in freedom!

Today, Anne-Hathaway saw what is called 'driving an excavator for a ride'. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw it, but she couldn't stand Liu Xiu's warm invitation to sit on it. She seemed to have opened the door to a new world. When you open it, you seem to have the whole world...

  Happy time always goes by quickly. After entering the night, my aunt and uncle took their daughter and son back to the big house early, so that the nephew could have an early rest. There will be a Christmas battle tomorrow.

  Anne-Hathaway helped her mother-in-law put her son and daughter to sleep and went back to the upstairs room. She saw Liu Xiu on the balcony...painting?

   Take a closer look, Anne Hathaway is messy - skilled excavator skills + superb painting skills? What hobby combination is this?

   For some reason, a picture of Liu Xiu driving an excavator and painting appeared in her mind.

   However, Liu Xiu's painting level looks really good. Anne Hathaway praised: "Jess, I didn't expect you to be able to draw, and you can draw so well!"

   "I didn't think I could be so versatile... But I'm just average in drawing, so I can only deceive a beautiful girl like you."

  Liu Xiu looked at her +8 excavator skills and +5 watercolor painting skills, there is indeed a big gap.

   He drives an excavator, and the excavator masters for many years have to praise him for his greatness, but the watercolor painting, +5 level is also the best among amateur players, and there is still a qualitative gap from the professional.

   Ordinary people will definitely not use excavator skills to compare painting skills. Anne-Hathaway spat Liu Xiu, just as he is modest.

   Seeing that Liu Xiu was still painting, Anne-Hathaway stopped talking after complimenting her, and stood quietly on the sidelines.

  The painting is a terrace, the sky is full of stars, it is not like the moon is almost full tonight, and there are no stars in the sky tonight... How is it a little familiar?

  With Liu Xiu's line after line, the figure in the painting gradually became clearer, looking at Anne-Hathaway's eyes widened—isn't that her?

   Take a closer look, isn't this where they just met?

  Although she is a mother, Anne Hathaway's girlish heart broke out at this moment!

  Liu Xiu turned her head and saw Anne Hathaway blushing in the moonlight and her breathing gradually became short.

  When the moonlight shines on the beauty's face, the warden changes his appearance and turns into a wolf...

  Before going upstairs, Anne Hathaway made up her mind that she must go to bed directly tonight. Liu Xiu could not succeed tonight. There will be an important Christmas battle tomorrow.

   But now she is more active than Liu Xiu, and she is always extra enthusiastic when she goes both ways to applaud for love...

  For a moment, she had a weird idea - can I write a book called "Ten Thousand Ways the Warden Can Coax Me to Undress"?

  …

  …

  Varejao, the unlucky guy who is still injured and the muscle sore Joan Barry, can't fight, his face is full of loneliness and regret.

   Liu Xiu didn't feel the legendary "players don't like Christmas battles" at all.

   He thought about it, and he remembered that players who said something like "I want to spend Christmas with my family more" are O'Neal, Kobe, and James.

   Among these people, there is no Chris Bosh and John Wall.

   The excited teammates gave Liu Xiu a feeling like... a collective return to light?

In terms of rookies, except for Okafor's performance in line with expectations, and the third overall pick Ben Gordon was dubbed as a substitute Joe, the others are currently lackluster. There are Liu Xiu, James, and Anthony Zhuyu in the 2003 class, and they exist in the 2004 class. feeling weak.

   In terms of team records, each team played 26 to 28 games before the Christmas battle.

At present, the Suns, with 22 wins and 5 losses, are ranked first in the league. Although they are not hopeless to match the Bulls' 26 wins and 4 losses at the beginning of the 1996-97 season, they are tied with the Lakers in the 99-00 season and Kyle in the 72-73 season.

   The score list is undoubtedly the most concerned data list by fans.

   Currently, Iverson ranks first with 30.7 points per game, Kobe ranks second with 30.4 points per game, and Liu Xiu ranks third with 30.1 points per game!

They are both in the top three in the scoring list; both of them have scored 60+ in a single game this season; Iverson is recognized as the best scorer in the league, Liu Xiu is the king of single-game scoring in active service, and the new generation of players is against Iverson. The best scorer and the most threatening player.

  The attention of the two of them is naturally very high.

   Moreover, compared to the complex comparisons of other groups in the Christmas War, the comparison between Liu Xiu and Iverson is very simple, that is, scoring.

  …

  …

   At lunchtime, the Trail Blazers received the news that the 76ers had arrived at the hotel in Portland.

  The feeling of a big battle is coming!

The 76ers' schedule is similar to back-to-back. They only arrived on the road on the day of the game. In theory, the Blazers have the advantage of preparing for the game, but the 76ers are very special. Whether they are well prepared before the game or not makes little difference to Iverson, everyone. He didn't have much time to prepare, which was beneficial to him, and the current 76ers team is equal to Iverson.

  Iverson is good, the 76ers are good, Iverson is bad, and the 76ers are finished.

On Liu Xiu's side, after lunch, he rested for a while. He was going to do some iron work first, then take a nap. Then he went to pick up his family to go to the gym. Then he warmed up and used the most comfortable and accustomed rhythm to prepare for the game. He couldn't bear to watch the Christmas battle and didn't want to affect the rhythm of preparations... As a result, Payton found him and wanted to disrupt his rhythm. He agreed on the spot... and followed Payton to the training ground.

  Liu Xiu said excitedly: "Gary, hurry up! Come on, treat me in the cruelest way, don't stop!"

   Payton is satisfied with Liu Xiu's eagerness to learn. The two characteristics of eagerness and laziness are concentrated in the same person, and he is used to it. As for what Liu Xiu said, he always finds it strange.

   Payton shook his head and replied: "There is a game tonight, I won't have too much training, that guy is difficult to deal with, just teach you some small skills in back play."

"Oh, yes, I saw the news and Iverson played against each other 14 times, and he averaged 29 points and 6 assists per game. It's okay, I will help you hammer him... eh eh, don't go, glove teacher, I'm not talking, please teach me!"

   Peyton was so angry that he held onto the basket and pinched people. The warden who killed a thousand knives was so angry!

   And he has a thick skin, so he apologizes when he says he apologizes, but it's not easy to get angry, and it's like his gloves are stingy when he gets really angry.

   Payton tries to imply that he is just a ruthless teaching machine with no emotion at all.

   After a while, Payton said: "I have been observing your back play and found that your back play has not improved significantly compared to last season. Did you find it too? Do you know what the problem is?"

   Just after Peyton finished speaking, Liu Xiu's mission reminder came!

   "...Mission: The opportunity to play the top back fight is triggered..."
