Healing Basketball

  Chapter 883 Chapter 883. The money ability is really amazing

   Big dog!

   What a big dog!

   It is good to be a big dog!

   Coming out of the airport, Liu Xiu didn't drive home, but took the team bus.

   Not only him, but the whole team received an invitation from Paul Allen to take a tour on the team bus.

  The team hired a driver to drive the players' cars, and followed the bus. After turning around, the drivers would send the players home.

  The players just got off the plane and really didn’t want to drive. If the boss invited them, they just followed the boss around.

   Then, they saw an amazing scene.

   What I saw in my eyes was a billboard, but what appeared in my mind was a rain of beautiful swords...

  From the passage outside the airport bridge, there are advertisements bought by Paul Allen on the walls on both sides.

   Billboards bought by Paul Allen can be seen everywhere in the airport.

  From the airport, on the highway leading to the city, there were a total of 19 large billboards and 121 ordinary billboards, all of which were bought by Paul Allen.

   Entering the urban area, the entire route they drove, all the way to the hotel where the Bulls will be staying, every billboard was bought by Paul Allen.

  As for why Liu Xiu can know that Paul Allen bought these billboards...it's too simple.

  The content of each billboard is the same—Vacco Bull!

  The picture is a black and white photo of the Bulls logo.

Paul Allen, his secretary, and several personal bodyguards were also on the bus. Liu Xiu asked the secretary. The reason for using this picture is that there are quite a lot of troublesome animal protection associations and children in Portland. The Conservation Association, otherwise the big dog will directly choose to buy a cow, and take a photo of the beheading scene as the background, so I chose this for fear of trouble.

   After getting the answer, Liu Xiu sighed: "Gou Dahu is really an elegant gentleman, and he is worthy of being the leader of our prison team."

  The secretary acted decisively as if he didn't hear it. The warden can say so, and it doesn't matter if he says it in front of the boss.

   But as long as he heard it, no, the boss knew he had heard it and didn't refute it. He didn't say that he would lose his job, and he would definitely offend the boss.

   But he didn't dare to refute the warden. If he didn't say anything else, what would he do if he was beaten?

  The bodyguard is to protect the boss, but not him.

   After complaining for a while, Liu Xiu lamented that this free America is really free enough, and even this billboard can be hung up!

  There are countless fans lining up on the side of the road to take pictures...

   Liu Xiu found the reaction of his teammates very interesting.

  The changes in the reactions of the teammates are probably like this—

   "Wow, I'm a fairy!"

   "Wow, I am promoted to immortal again!"

   “…come out and see God…”

   "Is this poster a little crooked?"

   "..."

   "..."

  Liu Xiu felt that the big dog was venting his anger, but it was a slap in the face. He obviously felt that the negative emotions of his teammates were gradually dissipating.

  Being behind 0 to 2, they don't have a mentality explosion, but they will inevitably have negative emotions such as depression, discomfort, anger...etc.

   This is not a good sign.

  They played well in the first two games because they played with absolute confidence.

  Negative emotions are fine, once they start to doubt themselves...the Suns are a good example.

   They will certainly not be as unbearable as the Suns, but the opponent is the Bulls...

  But after being tormented by Gou Dahu, the trouble he was worried about and was trying to solve was gone!

  The banknote ability is really amazing!

  …

  Not only was the attention of the Trail Blazers players diverted by Paul Allen's operation, but the attention of the outside world was also attracted to those billboards.

  Paul Allen was in the limelight, the emotions of the players were released, and the pressure of public opinion was relieved... After learning about this situation, he felt that the money was well spent.

   At first, he just wanted to let Liu Xiu know what it means to be truly rich, but now he thinks—as expected of me.

   Liu Xiu felt rewarded in the first two games, and so did the coaching staff.

   After a day's rest, on the 10th, the preparation training was carried out. On the 11th, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the Bulls at home.

  Just as the Bulls Devils have no effect on the Trail Blazers at home, the Rose Bay Devils have no effect on the Bulls players at home.

  My home court is like that every day, I am used to it.

  The two teams have a clear goal tonight.

   Garnett and Hinrich's goal: 3 to 0, lock the championship.

  The goal of Liu Xiu, Randolph, Ray Allen and others: to defend the first home game.

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

   Kwame Brown, who has won two consecutive jump **** in away games, lost tonight. Chandler narrowly won, dialed the ball back, and the Bulls took the lead in attacking.

   Playing steadily and cautiously, the Bulls started their offense at the same pace as before.

   Bulls head coach Scott Skiles' coaching style has always been like this, just in line with Hinrich and Garnett.

  The Trail Blazers chose to play steadily in the first quarter. Liu Xiu mainly attacked and looked for opportunities to shoot from mid-range, but there were adjustments, very large adjustments...

   Let Liu Xiu swing like Iverson!

  Randolph rushed with all his strength, and the others started from the defensive end.

  The offense still didn't play very well, but the defense was okay, better than the first two games.

  Part of the reason is that after returning to the home court, the defensive action has become bigger and there is a home whistle, but the main reason is that we have invested more in the defensive end, have experience in two games, and have more sufficient two-day preparation time to adjust.

  In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Bulls tied 20-20!

   Liu Xiu made 3 of 8 shots in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage was still not good, but his teammates actually played more easily.

  They only need to do what they need to do, and they don’t need to overload the output, so the efficiency is higher.

   In the second quarter, the defense was further upgraded!

The Bulls felt like they were playing the Eastern Conference finals against the Pistons. Garnett had more opportunities in this quarter. He shot from a wide range and could score everywhere in the entire three-point line. He scored 3 goals in 5 shots, plus 4 Made 3 free throws and scored 9 points in a single quarter.

  However, the rest of the Bulls only scored 8 points!

  This time Maurice Cheeks chose to use Liu Xiu to fight with Ben Gordon in hand-to-hand combat, preventing Ben Gordon from shooting 1 of 5 in a single quarter and only scoring two points.

  The referee gave Garnett the whistle, but not Ben Gordon. This is the home of the Trail Blazers. Garnett has a star whistle, and Ben Gordon...is guarded by the warden.

The Trail Blazers' scoring in the second quarter was still the same, lukewarm. Liu Xiu made 8 throws and still made 3 of 8 shots. 2 three-pointers were all-iron, but there were 2 of 2 free throws. To 8 points!

   Kwame Brown played an important role, eating cakes, rushing to make up the basket, and scored 9 points with 3 of 3 shots and 3 of 3 free throws in a single quarter!

   Under the leadership of the two, the Trail Blazers scored 23 to 17 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Bulls by 6 points 43 to 37!
