Healing Basketball

   Chapter 390 390. The first stage ticket king!

   And this player doesn't necessarily have the chance to play. When the possibility of sparring is higher, it is normal for the purpose of picking people to be simple.

   But when it comes to the warden, they feel full of slots.

   One more thing, they've been with the Blazers for a while, but they still haven't gotten used to the team's salary concept.

   Listening to the meaning of the three people, since it has exceeded the cap, the water dispenser administrator with an annual salary of 10 million is actually regarded as earning?

   But the logic of the three is still impeccable!

   Indeed, if Dale Davis is still there, although he does not work with an annual salary of 10.06 million dollars most of the time, it is really useful when he needs it.

   After Dale Davis went to the Pacers, due to Jermaine O'Neal's injuries, Dale Davis started 3 games and averaged 5.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block per game.

Originally, the reason why the Blazers put Dale Davis on the inactive list was not because Dale Davis could not be moved, but because of Varejao's talent. The current Varejao is definitely more stable. Better than Dale Davis.

   Hollins and Buzdrick looked at each other and felt that they should adapt to the characteristics of the team as soon as possible.

Especially Hollins, he feels that he can no longer put his mind on this kind of thing. He has to focus on his work. The coach is a big head, and the team leader is also a big head. As the most responsible person in the coaching staff, he has to do his best. Just work, this is the team that retired his jersey!

   Just recently, his hair has been falling out in the shower, which made him very sad. If it goes on like this, his explosive head will not be able to support it.

  …

   On the afternoon of the 12th, the Trail Blazers announced at a regular press conference that Randolph was injured and would be suspended. The 10-day short-term contract signed the 96 Golden Generation second round 23rd overall power forward Mark Pope.

This incident didn't cause much noise. Injuries are too common this season. There is no mid-season feeling without injuries. Even some media think that Randolph's injuries are too much of a problem. The malicious speculation is that It's not that Randolph insists on taking a break.

   The hottest news today is from the Mavericks.

  30-year-old Jerry Stackhouse, who was in his prime, reached a three-year, $24 million extension with the Mavericks, shattering his glasses!

  According to sources, after the Mavericks officially announced the contract extension, Spurs vice president Popovich flipped the table.

   There have been rumors before that the Spurs' signing target this summer is Stackhouse, a swingman who is good at offense and defense after not being the first scorer, and is willing to send tens of millions of annual salary.

  Stackhouse's performance in the Mavericks made him a favorite in the eyes of strong teams. No one thought that this North Carolina Lambi would actually be willing to be a top soldier on the bench at his peak!

After the end of this season, the Spurs have many contracts that will expire, including two mid-level contracts that have been delayed for two years. It is expected that the salary will drop below the salary cap by more than 10 million. There is an opportunity to introduce reinforcements, but the opportunity Just this time, Parker is about to renew his contract soon, Ginobili has already started to implement his big contract with a starting salary of 6.6 million US dollars, and Duncan has been holding a maximum salary since 2000... This kind of signing opportunity will not be missed after the opportunity. Know how long it will take.

   As a result, Stackhouse ignored the news deliberately released by the Spurs and completed a contract extension with the Mavericks at an average salary of $2-3 million below the market price.

   When Liu Xiu saw the news, she felt that the love and hatred of the Texas tyrants was really interesting.

   In Liu Xiu's view, Stackhouse may not give other teams a chance to fight, but a chance not to regret it.

   With the strength of Stackhouse, he is really ruthless. No matter whether there is a chance to win the championship, he wants to get the most money. It is not difficult to get a 4-5 year contract with an annual salary of 10 million yuan.

  Stackhouse's cheap renewal has maintained the strong strength of the Mavericks' second team, which has caused heated discussions. Today, there is another very hot topic - the announcement of the first stage of the All-Star voting.

  Because of the increase in voting channels, the era of over a million votes to lock in the All-Star starter is completely gone.

   From December 26th to January 10th, in 15 days, the number of votes for the 10 players who were temporarily listed as the starting positions of the All-Stars in the East and West, 8 players have exceeded 1 million votes.

   Among them, Liu Xiu broke the record for the first stage of the All-Star voting with 1.51 million votes.

   As of 12:00 noon on January 10, the three players with the highest votes - Liu Xiu, O'Neal and Yao Ming, received more than 1.51 million votes, more than 1.47 million votes, and more than 1.45 million votes respectively.

   The fourth place is Duncan, who currently has 1.21 million votes. Judging from the current trend, it is impossible to surpass the top three.

   O'Neal may have won the All-Star vote for the first time in his career, but he himself was not disturbed when he saw this first-stage vote ranking.

  When he competed with Yao Ming for the All-Star start last year, he led by up to 100,000 votes, and finally lost.

  Looking at Liu Xiu in the front and Yao Ming in the back, O'Neal chose to see Ben Wallace, the second center player in the East, with 460,000 votes.

  …

   Temporarily ranks as the All-Star vote king, which must be a happy thing for Liu Xiu.

  Who doesn't want to be the All-Star vote king?

   But it's still a little early to claim the All-Star ticket king, and there are still 20 days left.

Dayao, as a center, is taking too much advantage of winning fans' love. He averaged 22.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. It depends on whether Stoudemire was placed as center by the league in the best team voting. The forward position, anyway, the All-Star vote Stoudemire was placed in the forward position, but it is hard to say such a thing as far as the league's urine is concerned.

  The fight is sure to be fought...

   Accompanied by the arrival of the first stage ticket king, there is also the original version of Liu Xiu's long-awaited second-generation war boots.

After playing 3 consecutive games in 4 days and 3 games in the East, the Blazers got two days off. After returning to Portland on the 12th for a routine physical examination, no other work was arranged. Two days off, the coaching staff Give the players a good rest.

   Liu Xiu is an obedient player, the coaching staff asked to rest, then rest.

   On the morning of the 13th, the person in charge of AJ came to Liu Xiu's house with the new sneakers that were about to be released.

   The generation of generals is far away. Although Liu Xiu, as always, has to talk about the general series of boots whenever he communicates with AJ, he is already desperate.

   But he still looks forward to the second generation of the warden, and he likes it very much. There are two color schemes, one is the original version of the Blazers' black, white and red color scheme, and the other is a limited edition of silver and gray.

  The so-called original version is the version without changing the color...

   The appearance of the boots has been greatly improved this time. Anne-Hathaway and Qinger seem to like it very much.

  Liu Xiu understood the eyes of the two of them, and after holding the mobile phone, he said, "I sent a text message to the person in charge, and tomorrow they will send someone to measure and customize the sneakers for you."

  Qing'er immediately asked, "Do you want money?"

  Anne Hathaway: ?

   Liu Xiu replied: "Of course not."

  Anne-Hathaway: Wait online, what if you can’t say thank you after thinking about it?

The conversation between her boyfriend and her sister-in-law is very different from Anne Hathaway's life habits since she was a child, but... Seeing Liu Xiu and Qinger looking at each other and frowning and taking advantage of it, Anne Hathaway feels too much Interesting.

   For some reason, she also felt that she had taken advantage of it.

With this feeling, Anne-Hathaway thought of one thing and felt embarrassed, but she couldn't hold back and said, "Jess, I went to the shoe store two days ago, and I want to buy your entire generation of wardens. Sneakers, the salesperson said that there are two versions that have been discontinued, and it will cost 2,000 yuan..."

   "What?" Liu Xiu burst out in Chinese, and quickly switched languages ​​in response: "Watt? Anne, did you buy it?"

  Anne Hathaway shook her head quickly: "Of course not."

"That's good, they actually still have a lot of inventory, but the sales of a series of sneakers will always be saturated. After the sales drop to a certain limit, they will stop selling them on the grounds of discontinuing production, and then start an event, such as a new series. Before the sale of the sneakers, they made a gimmick of out-of-print, collector's edition... Obviously it was clearing the inventory, and finally they could sell at a higher price, fooling some people as financial products...

  What size of sneakers does Annie usually wear? Those shoes can’t be customized. I asked them for a set of standard codes. I am their spokesperson. Do we still spend money on a few pairs of shoes? "

   "Hmmmm!" Anne-Hathaway nodded happily with wide eyes.

  A way of doing things that you haven't tried, you don't necessarily dislike it, you just haven't tried it.

  Anne-Hathaway likes the feeling very much now, they are not stingy, but the right they should have as a spokesperson!

  …

  …

   Two days of rest time passed in a flash. At 7 p.m. on January 14th, the Blazers ushered in the challenge of the Clippers at home.

  Recharged, sitting at home, the Blazers are in the right place at the right time, but the relationship is a bit short, Randolph can't play tonight.

   Elton Brand, a first-class power forward who can average 20+10 per game this rookie season, no one in the Blazers can compete with him.

   In the face of such a situation, the Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks made a rude decision - the **** battle method is on!

  The starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Kwame Brown, and McDyess has been defending from the very beginning!

   The Clippers want to take advantage of the inside line, and they call out the Blazers' iron-blooded tactics!

   The Trail Blazers’ iron-and-blood tactics are not that powerful. It is difficult to suppress the rhythm when faced with a strong outside attack, but the Clippers are very sad, and they mainly focus on interior scoring.

   The Blazers' style of play largely reduced the disadvantage of Randolph's inability to play in the interior, but it also affected their own offense.

The Clippers were just caught off guard. When they kept up with the iron-and-blood tactics, the two teams fought against each other. The Clippers, relying on the league’s highest average height and fierce confrontation, were the one who had the upper hand at the beginning. .

  Relying on Maggette's 9 points and Brand's 6 rebounds in the first quarter, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 5 points 22-17.
