371. He actually gave me a ticket?

If Mobley is re-signed with a salary above the mid-level, the Rockets may pay the luxury tax next season.

Liu Xiu read the scout investigation report on the possibility of Mobley's trade. The Rockets applied for a trade with the Kings and tried to trade Chris Webber with Mobley as the core bargaining chip. The scouts marked this news as unsure of its authenticity.

.

Alexander's pickiness is really well known in the basketball world, and no one finds it strange or surprising.

Liu Xiu held a moment of silence for Yao Ming...

Then Liu Xiu looked at the other candidate deals. Some were small profits, some were losses, some were not very likely, and some were the other party's attempt to take advantage and give them bad contracts while freeing up tens of millions of dollars.

Most of the candidate trades were not very good. Liu Xiu was not surprised. How could it be so easy to trade the players he wanted...Eh?

Liu Xiu's eyes rested on a candidate transaction. This was a transaction that the other party had already applied for, which surprised him.

The coach next to him came up to take a look and said: "Didn't Miller announce that he is retiring? Bird wants to satisfy Miller's desire to partner with his old teammates again, and they are short of backup power forwards and centers. O'Neal and O'Neal

Foster has a lot of injuries..."

…

The Trail Blazers have begun to be busy with mid-term transactions, and other teams are also busy.

The early part of the season has passed, and each team has clearly defined its positioning. No matter what the goal is, there is always a demand for transactions.

There are players who don't want to stay, there are players who want to get them, and there are players whose value will be reduced if we don't give them away... In short, it's very lively.

On the first day of mid-season, the night of the 26th, a deal was reached that attracted the attention of the entire basketball world.

This deal represents the passing of a part of youth - the Kings and the 76ers reached a deal. The 76ers used Kenny Thomas and Collis Williams as the core bargaining chips, and the deal got what may be the most gorgeous franchise in history.

Forward Chris Webber.

Not long after Liu Xiu learned about the deal, he received a call from Yao Ming, complaining about his bad luck.

What Liu Xiu heard from Yao Ming was very different from what his warden knew. Yao Ming meant that the Rockets were actively applying for a trade to acquire Webber.

People cannot have exactly the same views on the same thing. Their environment, personal vision, and perspective on things are all different. Liu Xiu can understand this.

But he remembered that Yao Ming had a lot of resentment towards the Rockets during the offseason, and it was even bigger during the first match at the beginning of the season, when Nash was just taking off.

Liu Xiu never speaks ill of anyone behind their back.

But this time he couldn't help but said: "Are you sure Alexander is willing to pay Weber such a high salary?"

Yao Ming was stunned when he asked this question.

A word that wakes up the dreamer!

"Mobley + Smith for Weber", Yao Ming was dazzled by the general manager's promise, and now he suddenly woke up and found that he had been deceived again!

…

…

After a day's rest, Liu Xiu and the team came to Los Angeles.

Anne Hathaway came to Los Angeles with her children, prospective parents-in-law, and translator sister Qing'er, and lived in Beverly Hills after she earned US$100,000 through hard work in filming when she debuted. After that, her parents funded US$2.9 million.

The villa I bought.

A few days ago, Qing'er suggested to her brother and sister-in-law that her aunt and uncle should take a look at her sister-in-law's living environment.

Anne Hathaway has a good tutor and a good living environment, which will definitely increase the favorability of her prospective parents-in-law.

Liu Xiu felt that Qing'er just wanted to follow her to Los Angeles for fun. She was on winter vacation, so she didn't reveal her sister's little thoughts.

Qing'er successfully used her clever little brain to win the opportunity to travel.

Now that they are all in Los Angeles, Liu Xiu will definitely take his parents to the Staples Center to watch the game.

Liu Xiu's father began to pay attention to basketball. After he became a basketball player, he often mentioned Madison Square Garden, Staples Center, North Shore Garden Arena, United Center and other stadiums. Naturally, he would take them to watch games live if he had the opportunity.

Ever since, Liu Xiu asked Bill Duffy to ask the Clippers and Lakers for courtside tickets and boxes!

He is looking forward to being rejected, looking forward to the task coming...

Who knew that both the Clippers and Lakers happily gave away tickets to the game!

…

Liu Xiu was very curious whether Elgin Baylor, executive vice chairman and general manager of the Clippers, was like the legendary person who could pick up a "Los Angeles NBA team general manager operation" on the Pacific coast every time he was about to be fired.

manual'?

The Clippers, who ranked last in the Western Conference last season and received the No. 2 pick, have played 27 games so far this season with 13 wins and 14 losses. They are competing with the Grizzlies, Lakers, Timberwolves, Rockets and other teams in the Western Conference.

Eighth, once again beyond people's expectations, Elgin Baylor's already shaky general manager position has once again been stabilized.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened in more than ten years.

Everyone who knows Elgin Baylor's management career is surprised. In the entire NBA, Elgin Baylor's general manager position seems to be the most unstable one, but in fact he is the most stable one. This is

He is in his 19th consecutive season as Clippers general manager.

At 6:40 in the evening on December 28, the Trail Blazers entered the Staples Center for their first back-to-back game away from home. The opponent was the Clippers.

Although it is the home court of the Clippers, the ticket price tonight is very high, comparable to the ticket price when the Lakers play a popular team.

The reason is that there were a lot of Lakers fans at the scene. Of course, they were not here to cheer for the warden, but to boo him.

In addition, a large number of Chinese people from California came to the scene to watch the game. The Clippers owner had to make a profit from them. This was a rare opportunity.

Ever since, when Liu Xiu and his teammates ran out of the tunnel, there were cheers and boos mixed in, and people on both sides were competing with each other.

After entering the stadium, Liu Xiu first looked at the legendary unlucky man with a bitter look on his face outside the players' tunnel.

Next came the Clippers, the team with the highest average height in the league. The average height of their starting lineup is higher than that of the Rockets with Yao Ming and the Cavaliers with Big Z.

The shortest player in the Clippers' starting lineup is small forward Maggette, who is 1.98 centimeters tall.

After the players from both teams entered the stadium, the little flying squirrel went to say hello to the opposing coach Mike Dunleavy.

Dunleavy was also the coach of the Trail Blazers. He was the coach when the Trail Blazers reached the Western Conference Finals in 2000, and he had a very good relationship with the players.

The two teams made final preparations before the game, and the game was about to begin. Liu Xiu copied Payton's 'blockade' and Maggette's 'unstoppable', but still did not wait for the task to come, looking at a certain

The opponent's eyes became increasingly unfriendly.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, Kwame Brown.

Clippers starting lineup: Jaric, Bobby Simmons, Maggette, Brand, Kaman combination.

Kwame Brown easily beat Kaman to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

After Liu Xiu reached the frontcourt, he took the initiative to ask for the ball. Kwame Brown pulled out to block Bobby Simmons. Liu Xiu used the cover to break through!

'General' is triggered, Liu Xiu's speed increases by 3 within 1 second after the pick-and-roll, and he can easily get rid of Brand, who has switched defenses and expanded, and rushes into the inside.

Kaman moved to the defensive position in time to withstand the sudden intrusion of Liu Xiu... He couldn't withstand it!

Liu Xiu grabbed the ball and took two steps against Kaman to take off... Kaman reached out to block the shot. During the confrontation, Liu Xiu was knocked over by his jump. Although Liu Xiu was blocked for a forced layup, the referee blew the whistle!

Kaman made a defensive foul on Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu got two free throws!

"Chris Kaman, 22 years old, 213 cm, 120 kg, C, ability evaluation 79, offense 76, defense 84... averaged 25 minutes per game, 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game..."

The second-year Kaman has made great progress and is already a qualified starting center. His improvement on the defensive end is particularly obvious. The Lakers fans at the scene are very envious of this German center with All-Star talent and know him quite well. After all, this is

He is the best center in Los Angeles.

They knew that Liu Xiu was fierce, but they didn't expect that Liu Xiu could rush inside and beat Kaman! Kaman had to make a foul to stop him!

Kaman was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Xiu jumping up and down like a carp.

Some fans may think that he retreated because he was afraid of fouling. After all, there are many outside stars who whistle a lot this year. His teammate Corey Maggette is second in the league in free throws per game, second only to Iverson and better than Kobe.

A little higher.

But he knew that he really couldn't withstand the blow just now, so he was forced to use his forward force to resist Liu Xiu, and ended up committing a foul.

But more importantly, Liu Xiu was playing like he was risking his life. Kaman didn’t remember that he had ever offended Liu Xiu!

But before the game, he felt Liu Xiu's unfriendly eyes... Boss! The absolute boss of our session, at least in the eyes of someone like me, please tell me if there is anything I did wrong!

Unlike James, Wade, Anthony, Hinrich and others who regarded Liu Xiu as their opponent from the beginning, they are different from competing with Liu Xiu.

Kaman has never compared himself with those people at all. He is just a rigorous and down-to-earth center who is honest on the offensive end and diligent on the defensive end...

Liu Xiu stepped to the free throw line.

"The Great Magician:

…

Opponent: Corey Maggette, matching degree 55%, characteristic transformation talent: unstoppable, bonus effect: when rushing inside and hitting the basket, strength +3, layup +3, bounce +3.”

Pure hard bonus!

At first, I had some inexplicable impulse to attack Kaman, but I rushed in and found that this big center in the same class is really not that easy to deal with. He has a large tonnage, sufficient mobility, and an excellent height and wingspan. Kaman

Definitely a core member of the Clippers' expected rise.

But the talent copied from ‘the league’s most impactful player’ Corey Maggette really works!

It's such an overwhelming feeling.

After getting the free throw, Liu Xiu put aside his displeasure at not being able to trigger the 'Lord of the Era' series of tasks on the iconic center Kaman of the same year. However, he was still going to continue to play like this. He had already scored in this attack just now.
Chapter completed!
