438. How Pingding Mountain was built (7500 words)

The day after the game against the Grizzlies, Liu Xiu followed the team to Dallas. In the evening, he went to King Silver Horn's home and was warmly received by King Silver Horn.

The Silver Horn King still lives in the apartment he bought in 1999. In recent years, housing prices have skyrocketed, and many stars have invested in real estate speculators, such as the two superstars wearing the No. 21 jersey owned by the famous agent Banks.

Superstars, according to legend, their investment exceeds 30 million US dollars.

But King Silver Horn didn't. He planned to buy a big house after getting the contract extension in 2002, but he kept waiting. At that time, house prices just started to skyrocket, and he felt that they would definitely fall back. Just wait, it will pass in two or three years.

, but the house prices are rising more and more fiercely... It hurts to buy it now. When he first entered the NBA in 1998, he was interested in a house worth more than 3 million U.S. dollars, but now it costs tens of millions of dollars.

Tonight, the two of them talked about buying a house again. When they learned that Liu Xiu had obtained a large piece of land from the Portland City Hall at a very cheap price to build a house, King Yinjiao's eyes lit up and he said that he also wanted to

I'm going to try to see if the Dallas government will sell him land at a cheap price.

Liu Xiu immediately became energetic: "Big-King, what kind of house do you want to build? I can help you design it!"

He is familiar with this matter! They were talking about the 'Paul Allen' just now, but he forcibly stopped the conversation and talked about buying a house.

King Silver Horn was surprised: "Warden, can you still design a house?"

Decoration design is also design, right? Liu Xiu took it as such: "Of course, I am a master's student."

As he said this, Liu Xiu took out the pen and paper that he always kept in his backpack. After he could draw, he would take these things with him. Occasionally, he would want to draw something when he saw something.

You can take pictures, but what you take is actually different from what you see. What you take is an objective fact, but what you see with your eyes often has some 'filters' of one kind or another.

The things you draw must be based on what you see with your eyes.

Seeing Liu Xiu draw some lines on the paper with a few strokes, and draw a bird's eye view of the outline of a house in the middle of the drawing, it looked so professional that King Yinjiao believed it.

The warden is really a graduate student and can really draw. King Silver Horn thinks that the warden's design should be no problem.

King Silver Horn entered imagination mode: "I want to build a big house with a tennis court in it."

Liu Xiu nodded: "Oh, yes, I remember you used to play tennis. Because you grew taller, you could only play basketball."

King Silver Horn was very surprised. The warden actually knew that he used to play tennis! He never said it! Is this the legendary two-way appreciation? I love it!

However, he still wanted to correct the warden's statement: "It's not that I have no choice but to play basketball. My mother is a professional basketball player. I have liked playing basketball since I was a child, and I am very good at it. It's just that I was better at tennis before I grew up. I

At the age of 12, he won the junior championship in the German National Tennis Competition..."

Suddenly realizing that he was a little too arrogant, King Silver Horn quickly changed the subject: "By the way, in addition to the tennis court, I also want a swimming pool that is used for official competitions, a 100-meter-long and super-large one!"

Liu Xiuzheng was cursing that King Yinjiao was such a stinker, but his attention was taken away by King Yinjiao's words: "Why do you want such a big swimming pool?"

"Duncan and I participated in an event together during the All-Star Weekend. He bragged that he was the best swimmer in the NBA. I am still a little confident in my swimming. I want to beat him head-on! When I was 11 years old, I won the German National Swimming Competition.

Champion of the junior division! I am the best swimmer in the NBA!"

"You were really versatile when you were a child..."

"Ah? Thank you!"

"..." Who praised you? Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment and asked: "If you want to defeat him, can't you just compete with him?"

"I competed with him and I lost."

"Um?"

"But I think it must be that I haven't swum for too long and I am rusty. When I get my own swimming pool, I will practice every day to regain the strength to win the championship and compete with him again!"

King Yinjiao looked so full of confidence that Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment.

Design first!

Anyway, just draw, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. Anyway, the pictures drawn by the warden's excellent painter are very beautiful, and that's enough. The more King Silver Horn sees it, the more he likes it, and he keeps adding requests. Liu Xiu's drawing is also good.

I was happy. I originally wanted to draw the design of a big house. As I continued to draw, it felt like it would be about the same size as a park. Liu Xiu estimated that it was no smaller than Paul Allen’s large manor in Denver.

Where has it gone?

The warden's drawing skills are really good, and he has basic design skills. The layout and composition are pleasing to the eye. He finished the last stroke of the request made by King Silver Horn, and the other party snatched the design away like a rush.

.

King Yinjiao liked the design drawings that he personally participated in and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them and said: "I have decided! I must build a manor like this!"

After Liu Xiu finished drawing the picture, he originally thought that the game was over.

Co-author Silver Horn Daioh really wants to cultivate!

Needless to say, it’s quite a sense of accomplishment.

Suddenly, the warden had an immature idea and asked: "Big-King, have you thought of a name for your future home?"

"Do you still need to have a name for your home?"

"Of course, life must have a sense of ritual!"

A sense of ceremony! This word makes King Silver Horn feel very noble.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he scratched his head and said, "Warden, you read a lot, can you help me choose a name? I thought of several names, but none of them sounded good."

This sentiment is so good that there is no need to use your brain to reject the name King Silver Horn wants.

Liu Xiu looked thoughtful, opened his eyes as if suddenly enlightened, and said: "Big-King, we have it! It's called Pingdingshan!"

"Pingdingshan?" King Yinjiao reluctantly imitated the sound of the word and asked curiously: "Is this a Chinese name? Why did you choose this?"

"Because the place you live in in Journey to the West is called this."

King Silver Horn immediately decided: "That's it!"

…

…

On March 15, the Trail Blazers came to the American Airlines Center.

After a day of preparation, the game started against the Mavericks away from home at 7 p.m.

Last night, King Yinjiao was already very enthusiastic towards Liu Xiu at home, and he is even more enthusiastic today!

The Trail Blazers are fully prepared for the game. The double-forward defense of Outlaw + Raheem has been prepared for the Silver Horn King.

But what should the Silver Horn King do when he faced the defense and scored two three-pointers in a row at the beginning?

The Silver Horn King announced at the beginning of tonight that he has continued his hot form in the past two games!

On the 11th, the Mavericks slaughtered the Cavaliers 117-86, with the Silver Horn King scoring 39 points. On the 13th, the day before yesterday, the Mavericks relied on the Silver Horn King's 15 points in the final quarter to win 57-65 after three quarters.

With a score of 28 to 13 in a single quarter, in the end, the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki's 31 points in a single game to complete a comeback 85 to 79.

The Silver Horn King, who scored 70 points in two games, was so arrogant today that he almost shouted to the warden with a gourd: Do you dare to agree to my call?

The Silver Horn King is in good personal shape, and the Mavericks' team performance is also very good.

Driven by the Silver Horn King's two single three-pointers, the Mavericks got off to a 10-4 start, causing the Trail Blazers to call a timeout early!

Returning to the bench, Liu Xiu took a deep breath to relieve the pressure.

It can be clearly seen that the Mavericks' unlimited singles tactics are better polished. Compared with the Mavericks team at the beginning of the season, it is at least half a level better!

You must know that the Mavericks at that time were already a team between 55+ wins and 60 wins. If they improved by half a level, they would actually reach the 60-win level! After the All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks' record was 10 wins and 3 losses, which was indeed

Already achieved a performance of 60+ wins.

After playing several rounds with the Mavericks in person, Liu Xiu guessed that the mad scientist might resign?

Nelson, who had many conflicts with Cuban, was still calm and didn't leave just because of the Silver Horn King and Avery Johnson. Before leaving, he had to help Avery Johnson handle the pressure and let Iver

Lee Johnson can complete the transformation of the Mavericks' playing style without pressure. It can be seen that Nelson really likes the Silver Horn King and Avery Johnson.

However, in this case, why would Nelson go to the Warriors to form a lineup in the future to defeat the Mavericks and put the Mavericks on the pillar of shame?

But, if these two things were done by a mad scientist, Liu Xiu would feel very normal.

…

Maybe madness is a contagious thing. During this timeout, the Blazers' already bold coach was also crazy tonight!

Maurice Cheeks directly sent out the combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph, and McDyess to take down the starting two high school outlaws and the parallel import number one pick, maximizing the offensive firepower.

!

That is to say, Van Horn was not brought out by the 4 consecutive visitors this time, otherwise he would definitely be replaced at this time.

Maurice Cheeks made the right adjustment this time. Terry, Finley, Josh Howard, and the Silver Horn King were paired with Stackhouse, Daniels, and Devin Harris on the bench.

With Ratliff and Dampier taking turns on the court, the Mavericks' offense took off tonight!

In the rest of the first quarter, the Mavericks scored 28 points, and scored 38 points in the first quarter!

As for the Trail Blazers, the credit was that Maurice Cheeks called a timeout two minutes into the game and switched to a purely offensive lineup. The Butcher, who was motivated by beating the Mavericks, scored 13 points and 2 assists in the next 10 minutes.

He also scored 28 points in 10 minutes.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers and Mavericks were tied at 32-38, and the score was tight.

At this point in the game, there really is no good solution. It just depends on which side has the stronger attack and better continuity!

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks scored 27 to 28. After halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Mavericks by 7 points, 59 to 66. In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers finally gained the upper hand.
