Liu Xiu had only heard about how pitiful the 2007 Bulls team was, but now that he saw the Bulls team that didn’t need to serve the big baby Eddie Curry, he understood why so many people lamented this collapsed ball with no origin.

Team.

The lineup structure is good, the role players are deep enough, the coach is excellent, and there is a core that can control the court... Compared with the Grizzlies, which seemed to have a bright future in the past two years, the Bulls without Eddie Curry have a real future.

bright.

The Bulls have the conditions that the Grizzlies have, but the Bulls still have the conditions that the Grizzlies don't have. For example, in a big city like Chicago, Memphis cannot compare.

Although this game was difficult, Liu Xiu felt that he gained a lot.

Training on stress resistance, ability to cope with emergencies, and the ability to seize opportunities... It's good to have a game like this once in a while.

After the game against the Bulls, the Trail Blazers got a day's rest and then had a home game to play against the Warriors.

Since they fought hard to beat the Bulls until the last moment, the Trail Blazers did not arrange any training on the rest day of the 17th.

Since the rest was arranged, Liu Xiu had a good rest for the whole day, taught his son martial arts, taught his son how to protect his sister... and just messed around for a whole day.

But today, none of the players went out to cause trouble, no player made news, and the Trail Blazers management made news.

Trade talks between Trail Blazers and 76ers fell apart!

According to media reports, the two teams were discussing a trade for Korver, and the 76ers wanted Outlaws.

Talking about business, that's it, asking for a high price and then paying back the money on the spot. John Nash and the vice president were ready to slowly negotiate with the 76ers, but they didn't expect the boss to come back.

Well, Paul Allen, such a big dog, immediately became unhappy when he saw the other party asking for such an unkind price. He took over the initiative and asked the other party to post a Yingodala before he was willing to give it to the lawless maniac. When the other party heard this

Good guy, you don’t want to talk about it, right, so you have to praise Brown... In the end, Paul Allen refused to send Liu Xiu for Iverson. The scolding ended.

The vice president and general manager were helpless. If Korver hadn't been one of the trade candidates, and a relatively difficult one to trade, they would have cursed.

After Paul Allen's flirting operation was over, the two of them tactfully expressed to the boss - "Don't come here while we are discussing business. I will ask you to come when we need to spend money."

Although it was a pleasure to scold him, afterward, Paul Allen knew that he had messed up the matter, but he had to keep his face and left in a hurry after saying, "We have to be tough when talking about business. Don't let those people think we are easy to bully."

go.

The matter is not a problem for the Trail Blazers management. Ever since the 76ers suffered a loss in trading Webber, they have wanted to take advantage of everything. If they asked them to give Korver, they dared to ask for double the value in return. They really gave it.

You will also think that since you have given me double, why not give me several times more? I feel that the bargaining chip in my hand is too great... It is not easy to negotiate in the first place. If the negotiation fails, it will be good to let the boss have fun.

But the news got out, the Trail Blazers were laughed at, and of course the 76ers were laughed at.

The most important thing is that the media knew that the Trail Blazers were trying to trade, so the media began to make various speculations, reasonable trade speculations and unfounded trade speculations...

Liu Xiu saw the news on the news that the team's trade negotiations had broken down.

He can understand that the deal can't be reached, it's normal.

It is normal for a failed transaction to be exposed and trigger media hype.

But it’s impossible to complain about such a failure.

The next day, the game day, the Trail Blazers opened interviews, and Liu Xiu was asked about the transaction.

Liu Xiu had already prepared.

"Teammates always come and go. We may no longer be teammates tomorrow, or we may become teammates again after being apart for many years.

But no matter whether teammates come or go, the championship flag we raised together will always fly over the court."

…

"Look, I told you not to worry. Someone will always stand up and solve the problem for such a small matter."

"..."

The vice president looked at the coach with such a big heart and didn't know whether to envy or despise him.

Anyway, he doesn't think it's because he likes to worry.

If he really doesn't worry, the team will be doomed!

From the boss to the coach to the star players, no one can make people worry!

But let's not talk about it. He also felt that the warden handled this matter beautifully. He did not deny the possible trade, did not put pressure on the team, and did not forcefully appease his teammates. He expressed it in a simple sentence.

The camaraderie of a championship appeases teammates.

But! Why is this kid not so mature in other places? He is always so mature in these unexpected places!

In short, the vice president finally sent a wave of healing value to the warden.

During lunch break, the vice president returned to the office, turned on his computer, opened his blog, logged into his account, and posted an article with the title - In the end, I took on everything...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers ushered in the challenge of the Warriors at home.

The Trail Blazers were very stable in this game. Relying on Liu Xiu's words, the teammates' emotions that were originally affected by the trade rumors stabilized, and they also rekindled the pride after winning the championship.

The Trail Blazers were very stable in the four quarters. They scored 27, 24, and 25 points in the first three quarters, and they defended the Warriors to only 15, 23, and 24 points. After three quarters, they led 76 to 62.

Warriors 14 points.

At the end of the quarter, the Warriors launched a counterattack. The Trail Blazers' weak defense in the final quarter recurred, and the Warriors scored 30 points in a single quarter. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers' offense improved after continuous adjustments during this period.

It's getting better. Facing the Warriors' counterattack, the Trail Blazers performed very steadily. With the help of Liu Xiu's threat to the Warriors, they scored 29 points in a single quarter and firmly defended the victory!

Relying on Liu Xiu's 14 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals, Randolph had 22 points and 9 rebounds, Ray Allen had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Raheem had 8 points and 2 rebounds, and the Flying Squirrel had 12 points and 3 assists.

The Blazers had 9 points and 6 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block... The Trail Blazers made more achievements and steadily defeated the Warriors 105-92, improving their record to 7 wins and 2 losses!

…

At noon on the second day of the game against the Warriors, Liu Xiu left Portland with the team, starting another wave of consecutive away games.

On the evening of the 19th, I arrived in Minneapolis, which was already in ice and snow mode.

Wolves fans enthusiastically picked up the plane at the airport, booing and cursing incessantly. They felt that the Trail Blazers had robbed them of the first place in the Northwest Division, even though the Timberwolves had only won first place in the division in the 2003-04 season.

But that's how they feel, even when the Timberwolves won first place in the division, there was still no Northwest Division.

As for why we went to the airport in the cold wind and heavy snow to curse, it was because when we got to the game field, the team's performance was shameless.

Last season, McHale attributed the responsibility for the decline in record due to player injuries to Flip Saunders, took the opportunity to fire the meritorious coach, became the head coach himself, and ruined the record.

Regarding the renewal of the contract with the two wolves, in order to make the madman happy, he praised the madman for everything, so that the player who was not very bright really thought that he was still a maximum-paid player, and 21 million people in three years felt that it was not enough to support his family. At the same time, he also wanted to

We must continue to suppress Cassel's self-confidence and ask Cassel to cut his salary and renew his contract... Finally, in the new season, he will be ranked last in the Western Conference!

The Timberwolves have played 9 games so far, with 1 win and 8 losses, surpassing the Hornets with 2 wins and 8 losses, and occupy the top spot in the race for the No. 1 pick in the Western Conference.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Timberwolves started.

Garnett played hard tonight, scoring 24 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He combined the team's defense very well, limiting the Trail Blazers to only 91 points in the game.

However, Garnett's ability to attack in series is not that strong, and he needs a defender who is good at organizing offense. After Cassell adapted to the accelerated pace, he took off with the Clippers with a salary of US$21 million in three years, and stayed.

Garnett leads the team alone.

Now, Garnett has become a lone wolf.

Led by the parallel import No. 1 pick and lawless gangsters, the Trail Blazers limited the Timberwolves to only 83 points!

Liu Xiu made 3 of 9 shots and missed a single three-pointer, but he made 6 of 6 free throws and scored 12 points, plus 13 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, his second triple-double in the new season!

Randolph scored 13 points and 9 rebounds, Ray Allen scored 21 points, and the Outlaws performed extremely well in open shots tonight and scored 16 points... The Trail Blazers defeated the Timberwolves 91-83 and scored 4

Winning streak, record improved to 8 wins and 2 losses!

…

Going from one icy and snowy place to another, these three consecutive visitors are quite unfriendly, but this is the Northwest Division where they are located.

The second stop of the 3-way trip - Salt Lake City.

Spending rest days in Salt Lake City is always so boring. Only Delfino in their team can thrive in this city, and the others are too lazy to go out and play.

From this perspective, the Trail Blazers coaching staff likes to play away games here.

I always have a good rest when I play the Jazz away from home.

After a night's rest, another competition day arrived on November 22nd.

After playing 10 games, the Trail Blazers players have become accustomed to such a compact game rhythm again.

The Trail Blazers prepared for the game in an orderly manner, and at 7:10 pm, they were the first to enter the court for the away game.

Delta Center Arena is back to work!

When Liu Xiu entered the NBA, Malone went to hug OK's thigh, Stockton quietly retired, and the league's famous Utah Devils collapsed at home.

The Devils' home court in Salt Lake City was built up through more than a dozen 50+ win seasons during the double-death era. The record collapsed, and the team did not have the kind of talent that could inherit the glory of the double-destruction, so the Devil's home court naturally dissipated.

Kirilenko is very good, but he is not a star who can support a team. As the core of the frontcourt, he is too weak. He needs strong teammates on the outside and strong teammates on the inside to perfectly connect him with the inside and the outside.

'The characteristics of a tandem player come into play.

But this season is a little different.
Chapter completed!
