1034 Chapter 1034. Puzzle 1(1/2)
Liu Xiu doesn't care whether the Timberwolves will become stronger... No, he will be even happier if there is one more strong opponent. Roy, Luol Deng, and Gasol, if this combination is played out, there will be great success.
How awesome?
He was quite curious.
But it’s better not to do a business that is obviously going to be a loss. This is completely different from giving away Reed.
By sending Reed away, you can get a backup pitcher and free up more opportunities for the Outlaws without getting back any troublesome players.
The first quote from the logo man was not friendly at all.
The three of them called John Nash over, and after discussing it for a while, they decided to ignore the logo man for now, without mentioning what they specifically wanted, and to show off to each other first.
Even if the other party gives up and looks for other targets for trade, they still have Blake in hand, so it's not a loss.
In the evening, the Trail Blazers came to another city on the south coast-New Orleans.
At 6:40 in the evening of the next day, Liu Xiu led his teammates into the New Orleans Arena to challenge the Hornets.
"New Orleans Hornets, 5 wins and 3 losses, averaging 95.5 points per game, allowing 94.4 points per game..."
After years of failure, the Hornets finally stood up!
The last time Liu Xiu saw the Hornets win over 50% after half a month of play was during his rookie season.
In the next four seasons, the Hornets continued to mess up. Finally, now that they have selected Westbrook, they have a backbone.
Liu Xiu looked at Westbrook's player detection report and lamented that turtles are really suitable for growing by the sea!
"Russell Westbrook, 20 years old, 191 cm, 88 kg, PG, ability evaluation 80, offense 83, defense 65, passing 86... averaged 16.5 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.4 steals per game... shooting percentage
38%, three-point shooting rate 27.1%, free throw shooting rate 80.6%..."
The shooting percentage looks very eye-catching, and the defense is also very bad. Not to mention it is a black hole, but it is not much better. Gambling steals, one-on-one defense, impulsive defense, and defense without the ball...
But its comprehensiveness is amazing!
So far in the new season, the point guards of the 2008 class have entered a three-legged situation. Westbrook, Rose, and Mayo remind people of the point guard battle of the 2005 class.
But no one compares them with those from the 2003 class, and those ones are a bit exaggerated.
Liu Xiu felt that this guy was imitating his style of play last season...
Backup point guard Livingston is also performing well. He plays as a combo guard and has averaged 10.6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game since the start. The Hornets have not lost money on their $24 million contract in the past four years.
But just looking at strength and performance, the Hornets' twin towers are what Liu Xiu cares about most, and they are also tonight's real opponents - Horford and Aldridge!
Horford, with an ability rating of 84, averaged 13.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1 steal, and 1.4 blocks per game; Aldridge averaged 20.5 points, 7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game.
The addition of Turtle and Mo Wenwei was indeed the reason why the Twin Towers were activated, but the more important reason why the two performed so well was because they lacked the competitor David West and the lagging Bogut.
Liu Xiu heard that after the Olympics, the current owner of the Hornets was heartbroken. Seeing Bogut in the last year of his rookie contract, the Hornets tried to trade to see if any team was willing to take a gamble and pick up the trash.
Bogut injured his knee and his kneecap and ligaments were directly broken.
Forget it, he was obviously well treated at BJ's hospital. The doctors who went to the auxiliary medical department of the Hornets were pleasantly surprised by the recovery situation. Who knew that Bogut heard that Asan's hospital has the best orthopedic surgeon in the world?
He refused to listen to the advice and insisted on transferring to the Ganges River.
I don’t know if the new treatment method is correct. Before Bogut went to Asange’s hospital for examination, his knee was infected due to fluid removal. Before the examination started, inflammation appeared...
The question for Bogut now is not whether he can still play, but whether he can still stand up.
It is said that the Hornets have planned to lay off Bogut directly, and are preparing to sue Bogut on the grounds that he received third-party treatment without permission, which caused the injury to worsen, and refused to bear the cost of subsequent treatment.
Once the Hornets transfer the buyout money into Bogut's account, it will be immediately withdrawn by the bank. Bogut's original "most luxurious mansion in the NBA" left him in debt...
But Randolph told a piece of gossip - in Los Angeles, the Adult Film Association is preparing to fund Bogut's treatment, and the sales of Bogut's previous films have been very good.
The reward the association wanted was simple. It allowed Bogut to change his career to become a professional actor. It also helped Bogut plan his future—filing for bankruptcy first, then working hard on filming after recovering from the injury. When he was not fully recovered, he could also film some hospital scenes.
…
If his waist is good enough, Bogut might be able to pay off his debt in a few years.
When Randolph said this, Liu Xiu actually felt envious...
After the players from both teams entered the stadium, they greeted each other politely.
Liu Xiu felt that Guigui was really...unlovable.
Guigui was probably the rookie with the ugliest expression he had seen in these years. He didn't come to provoke him like some rookies, so he just stood aside and stared at him.
Take the initiative to say hello, compliment the other person’s talent, and say ‘the future is yours’?
Liu Xiu chose not to!
There is no need to go through the process, just hammer it!
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after the game started, Liu Xiu, who triggered the "prison kill", pressed the turtle hammer on both offense and defense.
Westbrook's style of play only had a few tricks. Liu Xiu was deeply impressed by this big man who single-handedly knocked Big O out of the top ten in the league.
At this time, Westbrook had fewer offensive methods than in the future, and Liu Xiu easily completed the suppression.
On the contrary, when Livingston plays point guard, the Hornets' overall coordination becomes smoother.
Westbrook is still stronger. For example, when playing against outsiders with poor physical fitness and poor defensive awareness, Westbrook needs to be as sharp as possible to break through, but he just happened to meet Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu played 28 minutes tonight, making 7 of 13 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
In addition to Randolph's 14 points and 9 rebounds, Ray Allen's 11 points and 1 assist, Outlaw's 9 points and 4 rebounds, Korver's 12 points and 5 rebounds, Kwame Brown's 11 points and 10 rebounds...
106 to 94, the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Hornets and won 9 consecutive victories!
The highest scorer in the game was Aldridge, with 27 points and 7 rebounds.
Westbrook felt the dangers of the world and was targeted by the entire opponent's team. He made 4 of 15 shots, including 0 of 5 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists...
What Guigui didn't know was that Liu Xiu hit him hard tonight just because he was curiously looking at the opponent before the game and thinking about how he could be as strong as the opponent and get such good data...
…
The next day, the 16th, the Trail Blazers came to Minneapolis.
The City of 10,000 Lakes has entered the ice and snow mode. The Trail Blazers players, except Randolph, the lsp, and xsp Dragic went out to fool around, everyone else is staying in the hotel.
In consecutive away games, energetic veterans like Randolph and young players like Dragic are willing to go out and play.
After Liu Xiu discussed it with the management, he took the Outlaws to talk to Blake, who had been depressed recently.
Last year Blake was the captain, but this year Blake was abandoned and everyone was lost.
We have been partners for several years, and Liu Xiu is also a little bit sad.
The purpose of the chat with Blake this time is to prepare Blake tomorrow. If the game goes well tomorrow, he will deliberately play a traditional positional warfare attack to show Blake's ability.
He also analyzed to Blake what kind of point guard the Timberwolves need, so that Blake should stop being depressed and let the other party see his strengths.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Blake's eyes glowed again.
After saying this, Liu Xiu led the outlaw gangsters out of Blake's room and returned to his room to play games.
After turning on the computer, Liu Xiu saw that the outlaws were confused and explained: "After we rejected the Timberwolves' trade last time, they didn't make any move. They probably want to wait for us to regret it and wait for us to take the initiative to trade with them.
That way they will take the initiative.
But we don’t want to. Let’s see if we can make them anxious first and give it a try. The Timberwolves are already 2-8, and if this continues, their season may be wasted.”
"I understand, but I still have a question," the outlaw fanatic continued: "We should have players we want, right? Why don't we just tell them what kind of return we want?"
"I didn't understand why some people just liked playing riddles for others to guess before, but now I think it's very interesting..." What Liu Xiu revealed at this moment was full of bad taste.
"..." The lawless maniac was speechless for a moment.
Liu Xiu continued: "And we are not just waiting, we are also trying to find ways to get that player, but we don't need to be too active yet, and we can't be too active, otherwise, whether it is the logo man or the team,
Everyone will be the one with the initiative, but we will be passive."
"I understand, because we are not very urgent," the outlaw maniac suddenly realized. "When you and the coach were talking about this matter, you mentioned that the players we need are just the icing on the cake, not necessary. Maybe we can also use this
Let the logo man help us think about who we need?”
Liu Xiu responded with a smile: "Yes, this can also verify whether our team building ideas are consistent with those of a team building expert like him. If they are consistent, the probability of making mistakes will be smaller."
The outlaws worshiped the warden more and more at this moment, and his eyes were very useful to the warden.
At 8 o'clock in the evening on November 17, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Timberwolves started.
After 2 hours and 19 minutes, the two teams decided the winner.
Liu Xiu played 27 minutes and made 11 of 15 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 30 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.
In addition to Ray Allen's 26 points, Randolph's 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Blake's 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Hill's 4 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Outlaws' 12 points and 4 assists.
Board, Kwame Brown had 3 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks...
106 to 94, the Trail Blazers slaughtered the Timberwolves again and won 10 consecutive victories!
After watching the game in the box, the man with the logo has a big head...
Tonight's score was smaller than he expected, and the game was not disrupted.
The Trail Blazers' increasingly perfect tactical system, their 9-game winning streak, and the Timberwolves' sluggish morale... Based on these conditions, the logo man thinks that tonight they may set a new record for the season's highest score difference of 46 points.
To be continued...
