504. Tangled talent selection

"Oh, dear, George is not yet one year old, so there is no need to enroll him in a hobby class, right?"

"Of course I have to repay him and let him receive the influence of art from an early age."

"The influence of art? It's like asking Qing'er to learn the violin, but now she has physical discomfort when holding the instrument? Caroline, if this continues, little George will be afraid of you when she grows up."

"...It's all your fault! You spend every day with the children and take away their love!"

"Caroline, other wives are complaining that their husbands spend less time with their children. Is it wrong that I spend more time with my children? Do you know how tiring it is for me to take care of my children when I come back from work every day?

?”

"Yeah...I don't care! It's all your fault!"

"..."

On June 11, the morning after the Western Conference Finals, Liu Xiu's uncle and aunt's family came to Liu Xiu's place to make dumplings to celebrate Liu Xiu's reaching the finals.

The old couple of uncle and aunt always had some small frictions of one kind or another, and Liu Xiu had long been used to it.

Anne Hathaway, who came back from going to the supermarket to buy spices, asked: "Jace, what are they arguing about?"

Liu Xiuying said: "There is a local musician's private class that is recruiting students, and there are very few places. Caroline's client happens to be a friend of the musician, and he got a place through a relationship."

Anne Hathaway nodded and responded: "If little George wants to develop in the direction of music when he grows up, this is indeed very important."

"Yes, so the two of them had a quarrel. Angkou still has beautiful illusions. He wants his children to receive a happy education. Caroline is more realistic in this regard."

"How do you think children should be raised?"

"As long as the direction is correct, I will listen to you."

Anne Hathaway nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, looked at her uncle and aunt who had entered a mode of ignoring each other, and asked, "Don't you need to worry about them?"

Liu Xiu responded: "No, Caroline will definitely win in the end."

Qing'er nodded quickly: "Yes, mom wins every time. I really hope dad can win once."

"Qing'er, why do you look like you're watching your father's fun?"

"Really? Am I so obvious?"

"Just gloat about your misfortune. You will go to middle school next year, and I heard that your mother wants you to go to a prestigious private school."

"No! Our family has paid so much tax. I want to go to a public school and earn back the money I paid to the government!"

"Your mother is rich, and she is willing to spend the tuition fees."

"No, I'm sensible, I want to leave the money for my brother to study!"

"Don't worry, your mother has already started saving for your brother's tuition."

"leak……"

Eating dumplings, listening to the noise of her uncle and aunt, teasing her sister, spending breakfast with her girlfriend Ni Wai Ni Wai, and taking her son and daughter to play in the yard. Liu Xiu had a great time during the rest of the morning.

After lunch, Liu Xiu came to the Rose Garden Arena. After changing into training clothes, he went to the conference room and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 1:25 and the meeting started at 1:30. He arrived so early and felt that he was really diligent.

When all his teammates arrived, Liu Xiu saw Randolph scratching his head.

Liu Xiu kindly reminded: "Zach, you can't grow hair even if you scratch your head."

"???" Randolph was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted: "I just have thin hair, and I'm not bald like Gary!"

The excitement didn't see Payton lying down for a few seconds and he was shot. On the spot, he started a scolding war with Randolph.

The two exchanged passionate blows for two minutes. After getting tired of the blows, Randolph complained: "We used to advance first and wait slowly for the next opponent. Now it's others' turn to wait for us to advance, and the time has become tight.

I’m really not used to it.”

"Yes," Liu Xiu nodded in approval: "Butcher, you should apologize to your teammates."

"crooked?"

"You only averaged 14 points per game against the Spurs."

"...What you said makes sense, just wait and see! Next time I meet Duncan, I will definitely blow him up!"

Teammates: "..."

When Liu Xiu said that Randolph was abused by Duncan, his teammates' hearts were filled with worry. They didn't expect that Randolph would react like this.

Randolph's idea is very simple - Liu Xiu and Ginobili's overall performance on the offensive end is 50-50, and they can guard Parker on the defensive end. He played really well in the last round. In addition to his shooting sensation in the tiebreaker,

Other times he was beaten by Duncan.

So the warden is right!

…

At 1:30 p.m., the Trail Blazers began preparations for the finals in an orderly manner.

Preparation meetings, team tactical training, small-scale cooperation training, individual training...the preparations are in place!

The Trail Blazers coaching staff feels that they are definitely more prepared for the preparation stage than the Nets, because they have been collecting information from the two Eastern conference finals teams since they led the Spurs 3-1.

According to research, after the Nets won the Battle of Tianwangshan, they decisively selected the Nets to prepare for the imaginary enemy in the finals.

Looking at the players who were training, the coach thought to himself that it was lucky that he won the tiebreaker, otherwise all the preparations would have been in vain.

The Nets also came to the Rose Garden Arena at two o'clock in the afternoon to prepare for the game. They had already arrived in Portland this morning.

Randolph is not used to having less preparation time than his opponents. In fact, it is just a psychological effect. The Nets also reached G6, and the Eastern Conference Finals started later. In other words, the Nets are just better than the Trail Blazers.

The team advanced a day early. The Nets didn't even return to Rutherford yesterday. After waiting in Detroit for their finals opponents to be announced, they flew directly from Detroit this morning.

The Trail Blazers' preparation for this afternoon's game mainly focused on 'forgetting' how to play the Spurs, that is, switching the opponent from the Spurs to the Nets, because the two teams are completely different teams, and they played a round.

After the series, I was so impressed with my opponents in the previous round that this process is needed.

There was no work in this area before the second round and the Western Conference Finals, because they advanced very early in the first and second rounds. They had to wait long enough and just had two more days of regular training, but this time the preparation time was just like this.

long.

The coach is not worried. The vice president has been complaining. The coach teased the vice president: "In the first two rounds, you thought they were promoted too early and were worried that they would lose their rest. Now you think they were promoted too late and there was not enough time to prepare for the game. It is really difficult to serve."

The vice president decisively threatened the coach with no salary increase...

Liu Xiu has always been very involved in preparation training, and the adjustment of switching preparation objects went very smoothly.

In fact, he is also making adjustments in this area personally. This morning, he didn't even ask Qing'er or Anne Hathaway to read the newspaper to him. He completely blocked the outside world and didn't want to watch the news about the Western Conference Finals for the time being.

The Western Conference Finals has ended. He has to completely break away from the Western Conference Finals and enter the finals time.

This is a difficult thing, but this is his strength!

Now, he has made adjustments. When he returns home in the evening and watches the news related to last night's tiebreaker, he can already view the news from the perspective of "my previous game" instead of "the present continuous tense".

He issued a provocation to Duncan last night that "you are old", which received mixed reviews.

The Spurs have a bad reputation and popularity, but Duncan has a good reputation and popularity. He has been an All-Star starter for 6 consecutive years. After the 2002-2003 season, Duncan, who only played for 6 years, has already locked up the number one power forward in history, Liu Xiu.

Although he won and his words did not contain any curse words, many media and experts still criticized him.

This includes some of the 'oldest of the best' group of fans.

When Jordan first retired, there was a group of people who didn't want to see Duncan and O'Neal win the championship. They didn't like Ewing, but they supported the Knicks to win the championship in 1999. They also didn't like Reggie Miller, but they supported the Walking Dead in 2000.

The team wins the championship.

Now that the OK group has disbanded, five or six years in the basketball world has been a long time. The young fans who were at the stage when Duncan and O'Neal won the championship for five consecutive years have gradually become old fans.

They may not like Kidd, and they may not even be fans of Duncan or O'Neal. They are just like the old fans who didn't want to see the new generation of stars win the championship...

These people just want to prove that the NBA of their 'peak' era was the best NBA.

Liu Xiu also saw what Kidd said in a phone interview immediately after the game last night.

"It's a pity that my opponent in the finals this time is not the Spurs. I have always been eager for revenge, but I am very happy. Every year in the Western Conference finals, it is O'Neal or Duncan. I am tired of watching it. Someone finally ended them."

Liu Xiu felt that it was a pity that the newspaper could not give a thumbs up. He liked Kidd's words very much.

However, there are no comments or barrages when reading newspapers, which in Liu Xiu's opinion is enough to make up for the shortcoming of not being able to like.

Liu Xiu read the newspaper for a while. As he expected, when compared with the Spurs, the tendency of public opinion was much more obvious, and it was one-sided in favor of the Nets.

This is normal. Kidd is an 11-year veteran. He has played in two finals. He is not very popular, but he has enough experience. To reach the finals again, there is a feeling that it is Kidd's turn to win the championship this time.

' The saying spread.

Putting down the newspaper, Liu Xiu made preparations and entered the state - ignoring external influences.

In the first three rounds, he only really entered this state after playing two home games, but now when he reads the newspaper, he feels that he is impetuous.

He opens the system's prop space.

The goal of the 'Giant Killer': defeat Duncan in the Western Conference Finals. It has been completed and the third talent fragment has been obtained.

The system determines that this target is the ultimate goal of this mission. The mission is completed, and the talent tendency of 'Giant Killer' has been obtained.

But he is very confused now, he has three talents: Giant Killer, Maimang, and Marksman.

But these three talents are not the most ideal talents.

‘Giant Killer’, as you can see from the name, it has great limitations.

A 'sharp shooter', a talent without the ball, not to mention that this type of talent is not his ideal direction. At this stage, he is very confident that his ability without the ball is not worthy of such a talent.
