   Liu Xiu immediately responded.

  Peton II was so excited when he heard the words, he opened his backpack and took out the camera poster to ask for autographs and group photos.

   The other three children also asked for a group photo.

  Liu Xiu originally thought that Monique was just saying that, but he didn't expect that the children of Peyton's family were really his fans.

"After Gali joined the Blazers team, these children watched your game and fascinated you. Gali II also said that he would be renamed Jess, and he was so angry that Garry took him several times ..."

   "Oh, damn, what are you talking about, Monique, let's go, our house hasn't been tidy up yet, if we don't go back and make the bed, we'll have to sleep on the floor tonight..."

   When it comes to human relationships, Payton is quite normal.

   But when it comes to these things, Payton's bad temper came again, and he left on the spot.

   For such a situation, Liu Xiu said that it is ok to come several times.

   As a superstar, his son's favorite player is not him... The 99 full healing value contributed by the gloves to the warden is a good indicator of how much Peyton takes this matter and how grieved he is.

  Anne-Hathaway was helping her aunt and uncle entertain guests. After she was done, she came over and happened to have a face-to-face with the Peytons.

  After a little greeting, the Peyton family of six left the party.

  Anne-Hathaway smirked: "Jess, why are you and Peyton quarreling again?"

What kind of player Peyton is, Anne Hathaway also understands after watching the game, but her man's mouth is obviously more lethal. When quarreling with Payton, her man rarely loses, thinking of her I can't stop laughing every time.

  Liu Xiu handed the recommendation letter to Anne Hathaway, and said about the situation just now: "This is this, this is this."

   "So that's it, Jace, you're going to train with Peyton II in the future? No, Jace, you're going to start training well?" Anne-Hathaway became more and more surprised as she spoke, and she still had a little anticipation.

She doesn't care whether Liu Xiu works hard or not. Liu Xiu has performed very well in her field of work. She hopes that Liu Xiu will live a happier life, but she also looks forward to what the legendary 'hard-working warden' will be like. exist.

   "Cough, Payton didn't really intend to let me teach his son to play. He is a superstar himself, a point guard in the history of the NBA. I don't need me to teach his son to play." Liu Xiu decisively ignored the topic of hard training.

   Hearing the words, Anne Hathaway thought for a while, and her doubts came together into one word: "Ann?"

Liu Xiuying said: "They don't expect me to teach Payton II anything, they just hope he can become my friend. Payton II is now 13 years old. If he has the opportunity to enter the NBA, I will definitely still be playing. Where I can help.

   If our children want to play basketball in the future, Payton II has the opportunity to play in the NBA. When our son enters the NBA, he should still be playing, maybe he can help us. "

   "It turns out that, just like my mother's situation, she has a student who learns to sing and is the granddaughter of her former teacher..."

  …

   After a day off, Liu Xiu left Portland with the team, followed by 4 consecutive visitors.

   On the plane, the expressions and conversations of the Blazers players showed different emotions.

  Butcher: "It's been a long time since I played away games. It's really cool, Damon, have you been to that store in Los Angeles, just that one there..."

Momonga: "That one, it's just so-so... Hey, I've been teammates with the warden for too long, I feel like it's boring to pack. Last year, I went to a bar in Los Angeles with the warden, and all the female stars who have acted in TV dramas came to chat up. ...Speaking of which, you haven't been out with us for a long time, warden."

   "I'm not free, I have to call my daughter tonight."

   "Your daughter is less than 1 year old, what can you say to her on the phone?"

   Momonga really wants to make a mad wave of complaints.

   However, seeing that Liu Xiu has become a man who loves his family, Momonga is really not surprised.

   Having known each other for so long, Momonga knows that although the warden of their prison team is very eccentric, he is actually a very principled person.

  Peton interjected at this time: "I also want to take my daughter at home, but it's better to come out. My three sons are annoying, and my wife only knows to worry about their three things all day long."

  Liu Xiu felt the same way: "Yes, yes, my parents, Annie, and even my sister Jaylen Jaylen all day long. Thinking of this, it's a good thing to come out to play away games occasionally.

   Anyway, the 4 consecutive passengers will be finished at 5 o'clock this time. If you count the car trip, you can get it all done in one week. "

   Liu Xiu's last sentence came out, and many people on the plane were cured.

After    contributed a wave of healing value, Payton held his face: "Yes, it's a bit tired 4 times in 5 days."

   Liu Xiu asked in surprise: "Are you tired 4 times in 5 days?"

   As soon as these words came out, another group of teammates were healed.

   Can't talk anymore! The key is that the recovery ability of this product is really fierce! 5 days and 4 battles are really ignored...

  Payton: Miss flight attendant, do you dare to open the cabin door? I dare to jump if you dare!

  …

   arrived in Los Angeles, and Liu Xiu received the Player of the Week trophy from the league.

   As the Trail Blazers were on the plane in the morning, the league announced last week's Best of the Week awards.

  The Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award was won by Carter, and the Western Conference Player of the Week Award was won by Liu Xiu.

After a night of rest, on February 7, the Trail Blazers came to Staples Center to challenge the Clippers away.

   Before the start of the game, Liu Xiu received a message from the staff.

   A game he cared about was over.

   The Lakers challenged the Mavericks away. Kobe Bryant made 16 of 27 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 12 of 14 free throws. He scored 46 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the Lakers to beat the Mavericks 108-102.

   Like the volute from the air!

   Great God!

   When playing against the Mavericks the day before yesterday, Liu Xiu discovered the flaws of the Mavericks.

   The Mavericks' singles offense + high-speed rotation defense is very powerful, but when encountering players with strong singles, the Mavericks' lack of single defense will be obvious.

  Daniels, Josh Howard, Dampier, all have excellent to first-class single defense, but none of them are top.

When his warden scored 10+ points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and when the Flying Squirrel scored 10+ points in a single quarter in the final quarter, he had a chance to come back, but it's a pity that he and the Flying Squirrel score soared, not necessarily as good as Terry + Novi Ski.

   But when it comes to the volute, the Mavericks are like a cash machine.

   Liu Xiu suddenly felt that in 2011, the Mavericks could sweep the Lakers, in addition to the silver horn king, there is another important condition, which may be Kidd in the low defense and Marion in the perimeter defense.

  …

   At 8 p.m., the Trail Blazers’ away game against the Clippers started.

  Liu Xiu copied Momonga and Maggette, and the violent defensive counterattack was turned on.

   Tonight's play style of the Trail Blazers continued the iron-blooded tactics of the past two games.

   At this stage, physical exertion has basically reached the peak in the middle of the season. At this stage, the Spurs are met and the Jagged Mode is turned on, which is not a bad thing for the Blazers.

   In the first quarter, relying on the 7 points and 4 assists of Momoko, who came off the bench early, the Trail Blazers and the Clippers scored 19-20 and entered the second quarter 1 point behind.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers had an advantage. Liu Xiu scored 12 points in a single quarter, and Raheem scored 7 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter. The two led the team to score 28 points in a single quarter. Kwame Brown, Varejao, and the defense of McDyess and others once again limited the Clippers' score. The Clippers only scored 21 points in a single quarter.

  47 to 41, the Trail Blazers overtook 6 points and entered halftime.

Mike Dunleavy's on-the-spot adjustment was still very powerful. In the third quarter, the Clippers played a very good performance. Livingston's high-position response was amazing. He made 4 assists in a single quarter, helping Maggette and Yarry. The odd two each scored 8 points, the Clippers scored 25 points in a single quarter.

   In this quarter, the Trail Blazers maintained their offensive efficiency in the slow-paced offensive and defensive battle that the Clippers were trying to suppress.

Liu Xiu only made 1 of 4 in a single quarter, but relying on the 'unstoppable' interior damage bonus, he scored 6 free throws in a single quarter, 5 of 6 free throws, and the goal he scored was a three-pointer, which he won in a single quarter. 8 points.

  Randolph's efficiency took off against Brand in this quarter. He made all 4 shots and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

   The two teamed up to help the Blazers score 25 points in the third quarter, tied with the Clippers, and continued to maintain a 6-point lead 72-66.

   At the end of the quarter, the Clippers played a bit messy. The efficiency of the singles was good, but there was no cooperation. They lost the feel they had cultivated in the third quarter, and only scored 23 points in a single quarter.

   Blazers, Liu Xiu and Randolph stabilized the offense. Liu Xiu scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Randolph scored 3 offensive rebounds in a single quarter. The two led the team to score 24 points in a single quarter.

In the end, relying on Liu Xiu's 12-of-26 shooting and 37 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Randolph's 8-for-15 shooting and 22 points and 23 rebounds, and the Flying Squirrel's 12 points and 6 assists, the Blazers finished with 96 points. 89 narrowly beat the Clippers and avoided a losing streak!

  …

  After defeating the Clippers, the Blazers had no time to enjoy the joy of victory. They flew to Sacramento at noon the next day and took a nap. At 7:30 pm, the second game of back-to-back was ushered in within 24 hours.

   In this game, Liu Xiu and Randolph continued the explosive state of the previous game, and it was even better!

  Randolph made 10 of 18 shots tonight, plus 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 25 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists.

Liu Xiu copied Peja's 'fixed-point sniper' and Randolph's low post tonight, and made a crazy 13 of 23 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers. Combining the shots, Bo made 11 free throws, all of which were made, and scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game.

   But it is a pity that the two have a lot of points, but in addition to passing each other's balls, the two have a very high efficiency in converting and scoring, and the total number of assists passed to others is only 3! Don't look at the two combined for 11 assists, but 8 pass each other to score, helping Payton or Raheem and others play very little role.

  Everyone's offensive state is really bad. Except for the two of them, no one scored in double figures. Momomoka made 2 of 7 off the bench and scored 4 points and 2 assists. Payton started 1 of 5 and scored 3 points and 3 assists...

  Kings, Kenny Thomas 21 points, Bibby 20 points, Peja 22 points, Kevin Martin 20 points, 4 people scored in double figures!

After trading Doug Christie, the Kings' rookie guard Kevin Martin got a lot of opportunities at the end of the first round. Tonight, taking advantage of the Trail Blazers' weak defense, he broke out and set a career high with 10 free throws in a single game. Yu Liu Xiu made 11 free throws in a single game.

  In the end, the Kings beat the Trail Blazers 106-93!

  Liu Xiu also joined the group tonight...

  …

   It’s true that everyone’s life is different, and the media’s reporting tone is also completely different.

   When someone else loses 40+ in a single game, it means that the team loses and he does not lose.

   Come to him - good stats but can't help the team win, teammates don't play well, the warden will just cut stats?

  The tight schedule is still useful, it can alleviate the warden's dissatisfaction with public opinion.

   The afternoon of the second day after playing the Kings, the Blazers returned to the Northwest Division and came to the icy Salt Lake City.

  I changed cities, so I don’t have so many negative thoughts about what happened with the last opponent. After all, I just lost a game. This time my skills are not as good as others. I just need to win the next match.

   After a night of rest, the next day, February 10, the first game day of the second back-to-back of the Trail Blazers' 5-day 4-game series arrived.

   This time, the Blazers did not go to the visiting team's arena in the morning, but held a meeting in the hotel conference room.

   In the last two games of the first half of the season, there is no need to train. A little rest is more important than anything else. It is enough to have a meeting to study the opponent.

   Okur and Boozer, the interior pair, is the focus of the Blazers' attention.

Boozer + Okur is a perfect pick-and-roll insider twin towers. When Arroyo, the sharp pick-and-roll point guard, was there, as long as Kirilenko was not injured, the Jazz would have the edge of the Western playoffs. strength.

  So, the Jazz sent Arroyo to the Celtics…

  The matter of arguing for fat can't be ruined by an Arroyo.

   Boozer is a very interesting player. He can't do anything on the defensive end, so he can make up and help defense, but he is very good in rebounding and low-post defense, which is just in line with Randolph's advantages.

   And the two had a grudge in college, giving people the feeling that Boozer deliberately practiced low post defense in order to target Randolph.

   However, Randolph has been in excellent form recently, and the mid-range shot is accurate. Against Boozer, who only has low defense, the Blazers are very confident.

   And there is not much pressure in the half, and the top three in the Western Conference have already stabilized in the half. Last night, the Supersonics suffered their 16th loss this season, and the record became 33 wins and 16 losses.

   After losing to the Kings, the Trail Blazers have a record of 36 wins and 12 losses, and they will not fall out of the top three after losing the next two games.

After the    tactical meeting, the warden found the butcher and asked, "What's the matter, Zach, playing the Jazz, why aren't you excited at all?"

   "You won the All-Star vote, and I only got fifth place for the Western Conference striker." Randolph's tone was sour.

   Liu Xiu suddenly realized: "No wonder you have been distracted all morning, I remembered, the replacement list will be announced today..."

   This Liu Xiu can't do anything about it, not to mention the number of votes compared with Double 21, and the number of votes compared with my brother and the King of Silver Horn in society, Randolph is even worse.

  Randolph's strength, if he is a guard, is a solid all-star substitute in the Western Conference.

   Generally speaking, there are 7 substitutes, which are 1 center, 2 forwards, 2 defenders, and 2 free agents. The free agents are generally 1 defender and 1 frontcourt.

  This year's Western Conference backup guard candidates, Nash and Ray Allen will definitely lock a position.

For the third guard, the candidates are Ginobili who averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, Parker who averaged 16 points and 6 assists per game, Terry who averaged 13 points and 5.4 assists per game, and Ender who averaged 13.6 points and 7 assists per game. Lie Miller, Bibby, who averaged 19.6 points and 7 assists per game, and Damon Stoudemire, who averaged 13 points and 4.4 assists per game, were selected.

   It's not that they're not good enough, it's just that they compete with the Western Conference forwards...

The direct comparison is even more tragic. Reid, who averaged 24 points per game, and Francis, who averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, have little chance of being selected as an All-Star. Marbury, who averaged 21 points and 8 assists per game, has a little There's no chance of being an All-Star.

   Iverson and McGrady occupied the starting positions of the two guards, and the backup backups Kidd, Wade, and Arenas also occupied them.

  The competition of the western forwards is similar to that of the eastern guards. Randolph's performance of 18.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game may not be enough to watch.

   Liu Xiu can only help Randolph to pray to the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the temple above his hometown, hoping that his old man will help and bless Randolph to be selected as an All-Star substitute.

   I just don’t know if Guan Zizai Bodhisattva and his old man can bless him to Portland across the Pacific Ocean, and there is still a foreigner on the opposite side. Is there any international law in the fairyland? Are there any regulations on this?

  Wait, Liu Xiu remembered that the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple on the top of his home mountain is the Goddess of Mercy...

  …

  At noon, the Blazers players gathered in Randolph's room to watch the NBA's official All-Star special.

   Everyone is actually quite concerned about this.

   If a team has two All-Stars, it is also a very exciting thing for teammates.

   And the thing about playing is very special, sometimes it is really more willing to assist a recognized All-Star player than to assist an unknown player.

   After the program started, the invitation list for the Shooting Star Challenge was first announced.

   Liu Xiu was not interested when he saw that Luke Walton invited Magic instead of Walton.

  No gimmicks, no Bosh, this game is pointless.

   Immediately afterwards, the All-Star substitute list was announced, starting with the visiting East Team.

   Just as there is no suspense in the starting roster in the West, there is no suspense in the bench in the East.

   3 guards, Kidd, Wade, Arenas, 1 center, Ben Wallace, 3 forwards, James, Artest, Rasheed Wallace.

  The Western All-Star bench was announced immediately, and the vice president of the program, Stu Jackson, came as usual, first the Western guard.

  Nash and Ray Allen, the two of them won the All-Star substitutes steadily.

   West center backup, Amare Stoudemire was selected.

   There is no problem with this. Stoudemire said that his style of play is definitely not a center play style, but he has been in the starting center position of the Suns for a long time.

   But seeing Stoudemire selected as an All-Star backup as a center, rather than a forward as the fans voted, gave the Blazers a boost—meaning the Butchers have one less competitor!

Liu Xiu is feeling the pressure for Yao Ming's second team competition. Now is the prosperous age of power forwards, and the league is supporting the Suns. In order to let Stoudemire get more honors, the league is really likely to be like the coaches choosing a backup for the All-Star. Vote this way and put Stoudemire at center.

  Then Yao Ming suffers a lot, the record gap is quite large...

   Ignore this for now, Liu Xiu put away her distracting thoughts and continued watching the live broadcast.

  The first name that Stu Jackson read out was Dirk Nowitzki.

   A sure-fire superstar, Nowitzki may even be selected to the first team for the first time in his career this season.

   Second name - Sean Marion.

This is also a name with no suspense. Stoudemire can't compete with Marion. In addition to scoring lower than Stoudemire, Marion leads Stoudemire in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in all directions. The performance of 20.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1.6 blocks, coupled with the league's first record, is a solid way to compete with the power forwards for the best lineup.

The league put Stoudemire in the center position, and the fear is that after the coaches of each team voted for Marion for striker and free agent, they would not vote for Stoudemire, who is also a striker. Tadmeier, people think he took off with Nash, and Marion was an All-Star before Nash came.

   Five fixed-position substitutes have been announced, followed by two free agents.

  Randolph's room fell silent, except for Randolph's heavy breathing.

After    Marion's gorilla-flow brute force highlights, Stu Jackson reappeared on TV.

  Stuy Jackson said in Stern's tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, at the 2005 Denver All-Star Weekend, the Western Conference forward lineup was... Zach Randolph from the Blazers!"

   "Fuck Fake! It's finally my turn! Fake Fake Fake..."

  Randolph collapsed with excitement, full of dirty words.

No one is surprised. Liu Xiu, Rahim, and McDyess are the only ones who can be called literate people. Most of them have this kind of virtue. They just became rich, and because of Liu Xiu's relationship, they often When reporters are interviewing, they usually pay attention to what they say, and of course they gradually become better because of this.

   But when you encounter this kind of excitement, you should scold the street or scold the street.

   When everyone congratulated Randolph, a scream came.

   Everyone followed the prestige... bowed their heads, and saw the panic-stricken Momo.

   What's wrong with this guy?

   Looking at Momonga’s line of sight, the TV screen shows a collection of the crazy three-pointers made by Momonga when he played against the Hornets, as well as the scene of the battle with Novice not long ago…

   Liu Xiu, who had seen the world, was the first to react: "Fuck... No, Fake, Little Momonga, what's the situation?"

   Momonga's expression is stunned: "I seem to be selected for the All-Star."

   After Momomo congratulated Randolph just now, he vaguely heard his name from the noisy voices of his teammates, turned his head to look at the TV, and was really playing his highlights!

   Soon, Momonga's collection was finished, and the list of all-star lineups in the East and West was posted.

  Eastern, starting: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Hill, O'Neal, backup: Kidd, Wade, Arenas, James, Artest, Ben Wallace.

  West, starting: Liu Xiu, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming, Subs: Nash, Ray Allen, Momo, Nowitzki, Marion, Randolph, Bully.

   Teammates are also stunned!

   All All-Star stats are posted below the photo.

Momonga is the worst, averaging 13 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal per game...that's 41.2% of his mid-range shots, 45% of his long two-point shots, 38.6% of his three-point shots, and 91.5% of his free throws. Rate looked at the wind.

  Liu Xiu said excitedly after reacting: "Butcher, Momonga, do we have the Big Three like the Suns?"

  Raheem and McDyess, two rational teammates, and the experienced veteran Payton followed suit. When they heard Liu Xiu's question, they all had question marks in their heads: Is this the point?

   Who knew that Randolph slammed his left fist into the palm of his right hand and said, "Yes, I am the strongest inside team in our team!"

   Liu Xiu followed up and said, "I'm the strongest outsider in our team!"

   Momonga suddenly realized, and immediately said: "I am the strongest substitute in the world!"

   Warden + Butcher: 屮! The layout is small!

   Forget it, bear with it this time.

   The three of them came together in tacit understanding and folded their hands: "We are the Big Three!"

  Teammates are messed up: shouldn't it be shocking why Momonga can be selected as an All-Star? Why is this so complacent? Could it be...that's why they made the All-Star team and we didn't?

  …

  …

   Momonga was selected for the Western All-Star bench, which became the hottest news on the day when the bench was announced.

   There are rumors that after the coaches of each team first voted for the guards of the East Team, they really felt that the guards of the West were not enough to watch, and finally chose the one that impressed the most recently - the king of single-game scoring as a substitute.

   There is no exact source for this news, it just spread among the fans, and Momo got the nickname of 'Lucky Little Mouse'.

  Liu Xiu remembered Korver, who was selected as an All-Star substitute in the 14-15 season in the original time and space. The situation of Momoko is probably similar this time.

   That is, in the West, where the back line is relatively weak, if it is in the East, the Momonga will not be able to enter the bench even with 65 points, let alone 55 points.

   No matter what the coaches were thinking when they voted, Momonga was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, when he was a substitute at the age of 31!

  In the evening, when the Trail Blazers came to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away, they swept away their mental fatigue, and the team played very crazy!

   In fact, the players of each team at this time, except for the physical monsters like Iverson, Kobe, and Garnett, consume the same amount of other players. If you can see the obvious physical strength gap, it is more related to psychology.

Like playing in the Spurs, with Duncan giving his teammates confidence, the mental fatigue will be much less; but in this season's Timberwolves, a team with stars, ambitions, and championship expectations but may not make it to the playoffs. Playing football can be very tiring mentally.

   Tonight, the Trail Blazers played another 10-game winning streak. Randolph and Momonga played extra hard and played very well.

Randolph made 10 of 18 shots, plus 12 of 14 free throws, and scored 32 points in a single game; the Flying Squirrel made 8 of 17 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws, scored in a single game 28 points.

  Liu Xiu played a good supporting role tonight. He only made 6 shots, 3 of 6 shots, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 11 points, but also had 13 rebounds and 12 assists!

  11 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals. Liu Xiu took advantage of his two All-Star teammates to make crazy shots tonight. Before the three quarters were finished, the triple-double was already in hand.

   On the Jazz side, Kirilenko didn’t play again tonight. It is estimated that the competition for the best defensive player is getting more and more difficult, and the absentee ratio is close to half…

  In the end, relying on the three All-Star runaways, the Blazers slaughtered the Jazz 111-89, improving the record to 37-12!
