It's great to be a guest at the Hornets' home, take away a victory, and take away a hard-working interior substitute!

The next morning, the Hornets officially announced a buyout agreement with Aaron Williams.

Aaron Williams' salary this season is US$3.38 million. He has already received more than US$1.978 million, and there is still US$1.4 million left. Aaron Williams gave up US$420,000 of which he and the Hornets

Complete the buyout.

Subsequently, Aaron Williams joined the Trail Blazers with a minimum salary of US$1.02 million per year. Based on the remaining games, the actual effective contract is US$420,000.

After the Trail Blazers signed Aaron Williams, the first thing the media thought of was not to defend the Trail Blazers. Everyone felt that there was nothing to ask about such a small reinforcement. It was just that.

, the person they interviewed was Popovich.

Popovich didn't care about anything else, but first sprayed: "Robbery! They are robbing poor teams! Sports are pure, and they use dirty methods to insult basketball."

Normally, the other party would ignore Popovich's actions like this.

However, Paul Allen had just lost the Super Bowl and saw that his basketball team was being trolled. He went to the media for an interview and spat back at Popovich: "Everyone saw what Popovich said, prepare for it."

Players who join the Spurs through mid-season buyout should think carefully, this guy treats you as a disgrace to basketball."

Paul Allen complained a lot, waiting for Popovich to respond. To this end, he put down his dignity and asked Ballmer to borrow his newspaper reporter to go to San Antonio to interview Popovich, just to find someone to quarrel with.

Unexpectedly, Popovich actually got cold feet and refused to be interviewed... How boring!

…

"Aaron Williams, 34 years old, 206 cm, 100 kg, PF/C, ability to be calculated..."

On February 8th, the game day came when the Trail Blazers challenged the Pacers away from home.

Before starting training in the morning, Liu Xiu looked at the player detection report of his new teammates. Although there was no information, it could be seen that he was not strong, and at this age, there was no need to consider athletic ability.

But at the same time, Payton and Mourning, who entered the NBA, took Aaron Williams to meet their new teammates. We can know that this new teammate is very popular.

As a pure blue-collar guy, being able to play in the NBA for more than ten years must have his strengths!

Liu Xiu also greeted his new teammates enthusiastically, but he did not have in-depth communication to familiarize himself with this kind of thing. During the season, it is easiest to play games together.

Although he signed a guaranteed contract, it was a reinforcement condition negotiated in advance. They gave up $420,000 to the Hornets, and they will make up for the missed buyout fee... If Aaron William

James is really not suitable for their team. Should he be bought out to free up the roster, he will still be bought out.

And the probability of this is very high!

Liu Xiu has learned that for most teams, the operation of buying out players from other teams to join them with their basic salary is an operation that requires careful consideration, and the basic salary is also hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But for the Trail Blazers, this doesn't require too much careful consideration. If you have a basic salary, you can boldly attack if you think you can try it. If it fails, you can just buy it out and start over.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, after a day of preparations, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Pacers began.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers gave the Trail Blazers a blow, scoring 28 to 12 in the first quarter! In the second quarter, the Pacers continued their efforts, 25 to 21 in a single quarter, and after halftime, the home team won.

The Pacers lead the Trail Blazers by 20 points, 53-33!

In the second half, the Trail Blazers began to counterattack, starting from defense, and limited the Pacers to only 13 points in a single quarter; but the Pacers were not beaten down, they defended equally well, and the Trail Blazers scored even more points.

Limited to less than 20 points, the Trail Blazers only scored 15 points in the third quarter.

After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed the Pacers by 18 points, 48-66.

At the end of the quarter, Liu Xiu gave up and threw wildly, leading Ray Allen astray. Liu Xiu made 6 of 11 shots in a single quarter, plus 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 16 points. Ray Allen scored 16 points in a single quarter.

They made 5 of 8 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws to score 15 points. The two combined to score 31 points in the final quarter, leading the Trail Blazers to 41 points in a single quarter.

But it's a pity that they attacked like this in the final quarter, and the quality of their defense could not keep up. The Pacers steadily scored 30 points in the final quarter.

Although Liu Xiu finally scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and Ray Allen scored 27 points, the Trail Blazers still lost to the Pacers 89-96, ending their winning streak and suffering their eighth loss of the season.

The record dropped to 41 wins and 8 losses.

…

The Trail Blazers players had no time to lament the loss. The morning after they finished playing the Pacers, the Trail Blazers left Indianapolis and flew to the cold Northeastern Boston.

After resting all afternoon, we went to the North Shore Garden Arena in the evening to challenge the Celtics away from home.

The Celtics' current record is neither good nor bad, and they will definitely have no hope of making the playoffs, but they are not terrible.

Liu Xiu saw the local newspaper in Boston commenting that Celtics coach Doc Rivers had no control over the team. He clearly remembered that Rivers was praised to the sky for a while... A championship can really make a person

The coach has been cheating and deceiving for many years...

When the game was about to start, Liu Xiu received a system prompt to choose the copy target of the great magician.

"The Archmage: State of the Game."

Copy object:

Teammate: Damon Stoudemire, characteristic transformation talent: Flying Squirrel...

Opponent: Wally Szczerbiak, characteristic transformation talent: excitement (remaining health), bonus effect: each shot scored can slightly motivate teammates."

I heard that Szczerbiak has joined the Celtics. Although the Celtics' record is not as good as last season, the box office and fan activity have increased.

This made Liu Xiu copy this handsome guy's talent on a whim. It was a pretty good talent, but for him, it was better than nothing.

After copying his talent, Liu Xiu dusted himself off and walked onto the court. The four teammates he started with were Ray Allen, Stevenson, Aaron Williams, and Kwame Brown.

Randolph only scored 6 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in last night's game. He was rested tonight. The Outlaws also received the rest treatment, so the newcomer Aaron Williams got the rest.

He got a chance to play and became a starter.

Celtics starting lineup: Delonte West, Szczerbiak, Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, Reeve LaFrentz.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Celtics started.

Kwame Brown was careless when jumping the ball. Perkins won the jump ball and the Celtics attacked first!
Chapter completed!
