In the apartment dormitory of Oix University in Auckland, ******** female international students are chatting in the living room. A delicate long-haired beauty with a sad face, kept fiddling with the TV remote control in her hand, and sitting next to her was Liu Yang, who had been a tour guide for Zhou Xuan.

"Yu Yan, don't press it, you are so up and down, left and right, and you won't give yourself thirty lives." Liu Yang snatched the remote control over and turned it on mute.

Yu Yan said quietly: "I won't go to next week's party, right?" ”

"For what not to go, a group of us Chinese will rely on you to grow their faces, so that those rough-skinned Yankees can envy the beauties of our country." This is a country governed by the rule of law, and that Jim will pester you for a few days at most, and he won't dare to go too far. Alas, I just don't know if Zhou Xuan is willing to come, if he can come, he will be too handsome, and he will definitely shock a group of people. ”

Yu Yan leaned back on the sofa and sighed: "Didn't you and Zheng Bin quarrel about this last time, why do you still want to contact him?" Aren't you afraid that Zheng Bin will be jealous? ”

"What kind of jealousy does Zheng Bin eat, does he have a comparison with others? Zhou Xuan is an NBA player, and if converted to RMB, he is now worth tens of millions. And Jia Tao said that the players will also earn advertising fees or something, where to find such a diamond king Lao Wu? No, it should be said that ...... The best noble son. It's a pity that my appearance is not worthy of him, otherwise I would definitely kick Zheng Bin and chase after him, you still have hope, so I decided to give you the opportunity. Liu Yang said with a smile, she is now Zhou Xuan's number one Chinese female fan.

Yu Yan smiled bitterly: "Is he so good?" ”

"What do you say about people who hang out with a bunch of Hollywood stars? Even the Olsen sisters were not moved. Liu Yang lay down next to Yu Yan, touched her thigh and said, "Don't you like men?" Or just follow me. ”

"Okay, but what should your Zheng Bin do if he is looking for me desperately?" Yu Yan is used to her friend being a female hooligan.

"It's okay, I'm a very loving person, and I take everything from everywhere." Liu Yang said with a heroic smile. Her personality is very arrogant, otherwise she wouldn't dare to get into the car as soon as she saw Zhou Xuan.

After making a fuss for a while, Liu Yang said again: "I don't think you should be bored in the dormitory, come with us next time to watch him play." I'll be proud of you if you can catch up with him, and maybe you'll be in the magazines, entertainment news, because you've also snatched men from the Olsen sisters to the level of Hilton. ”

"I'm angry if I talk nonsense, I don't know you and I want to pull the strings."

Liu Yang's mouth was dry and he sighed: "It's really good, I don't lie to you." But we won't see until next week, when he's flying to Portland to play on the road. Why don't I take you to see him once, I won't force you if you can't say it. ”

Zhou Xuan flew to Portland with the team to face the second warm-up opponent, the Trail Blazers. He never imagined that in Auckland there were not only fans, but also someone who wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend. Although he has not yet lived in a luxury villa, his status has improved considerably.

The first class on the plane was on the first plane, and Azubuk sat next to him. This is a very talkative guy, the Warriors' current sixth man.

"Stephen, tell me about China, is it fun there?" Soon to play in China, Azubuke is very eager for China.

"Of course, there are a lot of places to play, but it takes a long time to visit all over the place, and we went mainly to play games, so we shouldn't have much time to play. I haven't been to those two cities either. Zhou Xuan said with a smile. He has never left his hometown of Jinan, and if he wants to talk about the customs, he knows more about Los Angeles.

"I don't know if I'm going to climb the Great Wall, I've heard it's one of the few buildings you can see in outer space."

"Maybe I will." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

This is a very amazing lie, and the magic is that there are many people who believe it. Seeing the Great Wall in outer space, that astronaut must be Naruto who opened the Sharingan, because that is equivalent to seeing a strand of hair dozens of kilometers away.

After chatting about China for a while, the two talked about their opponents, and in the new season, the Trail Blazers are important competitors for the Western Conference playoff spots.

In the last two years, the Trail Blazers have shown an upward trend, from 21-61 in 2005-2006 to the bottom of the league, to 32-50 in 2006-2007, and then to 41-41 last season.

As the young players gain experience, they are expected to continue their upward trend in the new season and likely to reach the playoffs, but it is inevitable that the youngsters will pay some tuition fees and they will be able to pass the first round of the playoffs as a victory.

In just two years, Brandon? Roy has grown into an All-Star and has an immeasurable future. Last season he averaged 19 per game. 1 point, 4. 7 rebounds and 5. With eight assists, the impact on the team is all-round. Power forward Aldridge is Roy's best helper, who can play alone in the low post and has a stable mid-range shot. Rookie center Greg? Oden will also be Roy's right-hand man, and there is a lot of concern about whether the local champion, who has been called the best in the last decade, lives up to his name.

This year they also brought in Spanish shooting guard Rudy? Fernandes Fernandes, the player's impact has impressed people at the Olympics, and the Frenchman Batum has great potential. Many pundits have called it foolish for the Rockets to send Batum, and that despite bringing in Artest, they have lost the future.

Starting point guard is Steve? Blake, a point guard with a decent three-point shot, shot 40 from three-point range last season. 6％。 Blake is able to fully implement McMillan's tactics, has a good sense of the big picture, and never shoots indiscriminately, which is trusted by the manager. Last season he averaged 8 per game. 5 points and 5. 1 assist, playing only 30 minutes.

If Blake doesn't play, Zhou Xuan will definitely have to face 19-year-old rookie Jerry? Bayless. Is his template Gilbert? Arenas, who was fourth in the draft prediction, eventually dropped to 11th.

Zhou Xuan has read the evaluation of Bayless in the draft manual, he has good speed and explosiveness, the first step is fast, he is an all-round weapon on the offensive end, and he is also dedicated to defense, and his skills are also excellent, he can control the ball, and he can also create scoring opportunities by himself. And he is also a player who is full of confidence, strong will, and dares to fight. His biggest problem is that his position is blurred between the first and second positions. Playing point guard, his organizational ability and overall view need to be improved, and the score guard is too small. And the shooting selection is not good enough, and the ability to deal with the opponent's blocking is not good enough. And his personality is also a concern, with Bayless reportedly not getting along well with his teammates in college, which could lead to locker room problems. All of the above reasons led to his downward movement.

Zhou Xuan couldn't wait to meet this person, and it must be a great sense of accomplishment to defeat someone who is higher than him.

When he arrived in Portland, Zhou Xuan sat in the car and found that it was different from Los Angeles and Oakland. There are very few cars in the city, and there are buses and double-track railways, and there are "small trains" passing through the streets, which are actually the grounding of subway cars. There are also a lot of small stalls and vendors in Portland, which feels like a city in China, and I wonder if these people have to hide from the city management.

The team had a night's rest after staying in the hotel, and the warm-up matches began the next day.

I have to say, Chris? Mullin is very good at picking opponents. The Hornets and Trail Blazers can work out their teams and get a feel for their rivals. The third opponent is the SuperSonics, who have just changed their name to "Thunder", and finished bottom of the West last season. If you lose the first two games, you can also find confidence in them. As for going to China, it's relaxing and making money, and the Bucks are not strong. At that point, they may be able to head into the regular season with a three-game winning streak, and they will be in a psychological advantage.

Stephen? Jackson was not on the squad this time. He's in good shape, there's no need to grab a new opportunity. Margeti still has to play, he and the team are still in the run-in stage, and Zhou Xuan also continues to start.

On the Trail Blazers' side, top star Roy is resting and starting point guard Blake is not on the squad, and they seem intent on putting Bayless against Zhou Xuan to let the talented rookie unleash his energy. His replacement is Spanish national team defender Rodriguez, who has a similar style to Blake, has poor physical fitness and is good at passing.

After appearing, Bayless took the initiative to talk to Zhou Xuan.

"Hi, Chinese."

"Hey Bayless, the game hasn't started yet, are you here to provoke, or do you want to make a friend?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.

"I'm here to tell you that I'm going to beat you up in this game, so be mentally prepared." Bayless said coldly.

"The first time we met, why were you so unkind to me?" Zhou Xuan disagreed, and asked again.

"To be honest, I'm a little envious of you, you were drafted in the second round, you are physically like an ordinary person, and the Warriors can still play as a starter when the summer league is like that, but I have to start off the bench with the Trail Blazers, what the hell." Bayless didn't have a good airway.

"That's really good news. After today's game, if a reporter interviews me, I will tell them that Bayless came to me before the game and complained that the Trail Blazers were illiterate, and that they would reuse two scraps of wood with physical fitness like ordinary people without him. And then you're definitely famous, what do you think of the proposal? The other party came to provoke, and Zhou Xuan didn't plan to be polite to him, but what he said was not trash, and he seemed to have to say it as a joke.

Bayles glared at Zhou Xuan, and his tone became even colder: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll ......"

"Just beat me? Let all the Trail Blazers fans know that they have been traded for a restless violent element? I'm not talking nonsense, that's what you think in your heart. Zhou Xuan copied his pockets with both hands, behaved very relaxed, and said with a smile: "You think you are very good, you became famous in high school, and you played too well with Mayo Biao, you played well in your first year of college, it turned out that the media predicted that you were the fourth pick, but you were very unconvinced when you fell to eleven." When you get here, you see two unathletic defenders who feel even more uncomfortable, and you want to express yourself, but I wonder if Coach Lu Dao has ever said something like this to you? ”

"What?"

"You have to find your place. Are you a point guard, or a shooting guard? Contradictory? Because you're good at scoring, not good at passing. Even if you beat me with scores, the coach can't let you start, and the person who played with Aldridge in the regular season must be Roy, not you. What are you going to do? Trade? Still fighting like this in the Trailblazers, four years, man. What if you don't reuse, you don't have data, and what about your next contract? Milicic is dead in the Pistons, can you make it in this environment? That's what you're worried about, it's not your problem to up, find a way to blow up Roy! Fill someone's shoes! Zhou Xuan said with a smile on his face, and walked towards his own player's bench after speaking.

Bayless froze. It was the first time they met, but Zhou Xuan seemed to know him well, and said some of his thoughts, which made him unconsciously get goosebumps. Why does this guy seem to be a bit evil?
