Chapter 390 390. Votes king in the first stage!

Moreover, this player may not necessarily have a chance to play. The possibility of being a sparring partner is higher. It is normal for the purpose of selecting players to be simple.

But if this matter falls on the warden, they will find it full of flaws.

Another point is that they have been coming to the Trail Blazers for a while, but they are still not completely accustomed to this team's salary concept.

According to the three people, since the cap has been exceeded, the water dispenser administrator with an additional annual salary of tens of millions is actually considered to have earned it?

But the logic of the three is still impeccable!

Indeed, if Dale Davis were still here, even though he would not be working with an annual salary of US$10.06 million most of the time, he would be really useful when needed.

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

Originally, the reason why the Trail Blazers put Dale Davis on the inactive list was not because Dale Davis couldn't play, but because they took a fancy to Varejao's talent. Now Varejao's stable strength is definitely

Can't beat Dale Davis.

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

Especially Hollins, he feels that he can no longer focus on this kind of thing and must focus on work. The coach is a headache, and the team boss is also a headache. As the most responsible person on the coaching staff, he has to do his best.

Work is all that matters, this is the team that retired his jersey!

Just recently, his hair kept falling out in the shower, which made him very sad. If this continues, his afro won't be able to support it anymore.

…

On the afternoon of the 12th, the Trail Blazers announced at a regular press conference that Randolph was injured and would be sidelined. They signed power forward Mark Pope, the 23rd pick in the second round of the 1996 Golden Generation, on a 10-day short contract.

This matter didn't cause much movement. Injuries are too common this season. Without injuries, it doesn't feel like the middle of the season. Some media even think that Randolph's injury is too big and trivial. The malicious speculation is

It's not that Randolph is trying to be a big star and insist on taking a break.

The hottest news today is the Mavericks.

At 30 years old and in his prime, Jerry Stackhouse reached a three-year, $24 million contract extension with the Mavericks, which broke his eyes!

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' recruiting target this summer is Stackhouse, a swingman who is both offensive and defensive when he is not the leading scorer, and is willing to pay tens of millions of dollars in 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 native would actually be willing to become a leading player on the bench during his peak period!

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 be reduced to more than 10 million below the salary cap. There is an opportunity to introduce strong reinforcements, but the opportunity

Just this time, Parker is about to renew his contract, Ginobili has already begun to implement his big contract with a starting salary of US$6.6 million, and Duncan has been receiving the maximum salary since 2000... After such a signing opportunity is missed,

Don't know how long it will take to wait.

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

When Liu Xiu saw the news, he felt that the love and hatred between Texas powerful men was really interesting.

In Liu Xiu's view, Stackhouse may not be giving other teams a chance to fight, but rather not giving himself a chance to regret.

With Stackhouse's strength, he is really ruthless. Regardless of whether he has a chance to compete for the championship, he just wants to get the most money. It is not difficult to get a 4-5 year contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Stackhouse's cheap contract extension has maintained the strength of the Mavericks' second team, which has aroused heated discussions. Today there is another highly topical matter - the announcement of the votes for the first phase 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 starting lineup is gone forever.

From December 26th to January 10th, in the 15 days, 8 of the 10 players temporarily listed as starting players for the Eastern and Western All-Stars have exceeded 1 million votes.

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

As of 12 noon on January 10, the three players with the highest votes - Liu Xiu, O'Neal, and Yao Ming - had 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, with 1.21 million votes currently. Judging from the current trend, it is impossible to surpass the top three.

O'Neal may win the All-Star vote for the first time in his career, but when he saw this first-stage vote ranking, he felt completely unmoved.

When he competed with Yao Ming to start the All-Star Game last year, he led by more than 100,000 votes at most, but lost in the end.

Looking at Liu Xiu in the front and Yao Ming in the back, O'Neal chose to look at the number of votes for Ben Wallace, the player with the second most votes for the center position in the Eastern Conference - 460,000 votes. As expected, Ben Wallace is invincible.

…

Being temporarily listed as the all-star vote leader is definitely a happy thing for Liu Xiu.

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

However, it is still a bit early to say that he is the All-Star vote-winner, and there are still about 20 days left.

As a center, Dayao is taking advantage of the fans' love. He averages 22.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. It depends on whether Stoudemire is placed at the center position by the league when voting for the best team.

As for the forward position, Stoudemire was placed at the forward position in the All-Star vote anyway, but with the league's poor nature, it's really hard to say about this kind of thing.

We will definitely fight...

Along with the arrival of the first-stage vote king, there is also the original version of Liu Xiu’s long-awaited Warden II boots.

After playing three consecutive away games in four days in the Eastern Conference, the Trail Blazers got two days of rest. After returning to Portland for a routine physical examination on the 12th, no other work was scheduled. During the two days of rest, the coaching staff

Let the team members take a good rest.

Liu Xiu is an obedient player. If the coaching staff asks him to rest, then he will rest.

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

The General generation is far away in sight. Although Liu Xiu always mentioned the General series of boots whenever he communicated with AJ, he was already in despair.

But he is still looking forward to and liking the second generation Warden. There are two colors, one is the original version of the Blazers' black, white and red colors, and the other is a silver gray limited edition.

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

The appearance of these boots has been greatly improved this time, and Anne Hathaway and Qing'er like them very much.

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

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

Anne Hathaway:?

Liu Xiu responded: "Of course not."

Anne Hathaway: What should I do if I’m waiting online and I can’t say the words of thanks I thought of?

The conversation between her boyfriend and her sister-in-law was very different from Anne Hathaway's living habits since she was a child, but...seeing Liu Xiu and Qing'er looking at each other and twitching their eyebrows as if they were taking advantage, Anne Hathaway felt

So funny.

I don't know why, but she also felt like she was getting a big advantage.

With this feeling, Anne Hathaway thought of something and felt embarrassed, but she couldn't hold it back and said: "Jace, I went to the shoe store two days ago and wanted to buy your entire Warden generation series.

As for sneakers, the salesperson said that two versions have been discontinued, and it will cost an additional 2,000 yuan..."

"What?" Liu Xiu burst out in Chinese, and quickly switched languages ​​after reacting: "Watt? Annie, 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 discontinuation of production, and then launch an event, such as a new series

Before the sneakers go on sale, they create out-of-print, collector's edition... gimmicks, which are obviously to clear the inventory, and in the end sell them at a higher price, fooling some people into treating them as financial products...

What size sneakers does Annie usually wear? Those shoes probably won’t be custom-made. I asked them for a set of coded shoes. I’m their spokesperson. Do we still have to spend money on a few pairs of shoes?”

"Yeah, yeah!" Anne Hathaway opened her eyes and nodded happily.

In fact, you don’t necessarily dislike the way of doing things that you haven’t tried, you just haven’t tried it.

Anne Hathaway likes the current feeling very much. This is not a ploy, but a right that they should enjoy as a spokesperson!

…

…

The two-day break passed by in a flash. At 7 pm on January 14th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Clippers at home.

Recuperate your energy and sit at home. The Trail Blazers are in the right place at the right time, but the team is a bit different. Randolph can't play tonight.

Elton Brand is a first-class power forward who can average 20+10 points per game this rookie season. No one on the Trail Blazers can match him.

Faced with this situation, Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks made a rude decision - the iron-blooded strategy started!

The starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Kwame Brown, and McDyess was locked in defense from the beginning!

The Clippers want to take advantage of the inside advantage, but when they see the Trail Blazers' iron-blooded tactics, they call them shameless!

The Trail Blazers' iron-blooded tactics are not that powerful, and it is difficult to keep down the rhythm when encountering teams with strong outside offense. However, the Clippers are very miserable. They mainly focus on scoring inside.

This style of play of the Trail Blazers has greatly reduced the disadvantage of inside offense caused by Randolph's inability to play, but it also affected their own offense.

The Clippers were just caught off guard. After they caught up with the iron-blooded tactics, the two teams started to fight. The Clippers relied on the league's highest average height and fierce confrontation, but they were the one with the upper hand at the beginning.
