After shopping with Yaya, Xue Ding returned to the house and didn't think his feet were his own. He lay on the sofa as soon as he returned home.
"Husband, are you tired today." Yaya asked softly when she saw Xue Ding lying on the bed.
"Baby, where am I going to be tired? Don't say that I just went shopping for one day today. Even if I went shopping for another night, your husband's physical strength was no problem." Xue Ding quickly sat up and said.
Although he was very tired, Xue Ding was unwilling to show it directly, and he was also a professional basketball player.
Hearing Xue Ding's words, looking at his strong expression, Yaya grinned, her husband is a confident person, he wants to be more face-saving, and today's performance is already very good.
Dad Xue Xue sees the two of them spoiling sweetly, and can't help but envy, Xue Xue asks: "Xiaoding, what did you and Yaya buy today and went shopping for a day."
"Mom, today Yaya and I went shopping in the mall for a day and bought some things. Yaya also took me to a custom suit for me, but I had to wait for a week to try on the sample. Two Only Zhou can get it," Xue Ding said.
"Yes, you see how many years you have worn those suits, it's right for Yaya to buy you a suit." Wen Yan and Xue Mu also echoed.
"That's right, mom, I said he was too expensive when he bought clothes for him." Seeing her mother was on her side, Yaya suddenly spoiled in front of Xue Ding.
"Haha, he had been like that since childhood, and he said no..."

After a short day of rest, the Blazers ushered in the challenge of the New Orleans Hornets at home. In recent years, under the leadership of Paul, the Hornets have been able to make the playoffs in the West almost every year, but they have been delayed. Can not make a breakthrough in the playoffs, although entering the playoffs for several consecutive years, but has not played in the Western Conference finals.
This season, due to Paul's injury for a period of time, the Hornets' record has declined. After Paul's return, the Hornets' record has improved.
But he has been lingering outside the playoffs. With the last few games of the regular season, Paul's Hornets are undoubtedly trying to win the game and make the playoffs.
At the Rose Garden Arena, the audience at the home stadium has already entered, and the stadium is full of seats.
Before the game, Xue Ding received a brief interview in the player channel.
"Xue Ding, now the competition for seats in the playoffs is getting more and more fierce. After the last defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Blazers are currently in an ideal position. After the game, Aldridge was determined to be reimbursed for the season. The strength of the team certainly has a certain influence. In this game, the Hornets led by Chris Paul visited the Rose Garden Arena. Obviously, they were rushing to take away a victory. You are confident of winning this game. "A question from a female reporter from Tencent."
"Of course I am confident, but this is at our home court, no matter who the opponent is, we will not easily let go of a victory." Xue Ding replied.
Then he walked back to the locker room to prepare for admission.
The Trail Blazers were reimbursed for the season in this game, so the head coach replaced Steve Blake in the starting lineup. The other four starters on the field remained unchanged.
On the Hornets side, David West, Peja Stojkovic, Emeka Okafor, Darren Collison, and Chris Paul started out. This is the Hornets' strongest starting lineup.
Near the middle circle, Okafor and Blake are ready to jump the ball.
The referee whistled.
Okafor jumped to the ball and gave it to Chris Paul in the backcourt.
Paul advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, made the top of the arc and began to command his teammates to run.
Paul is a typical traditional point guard. When the ball is in his hands, he always thinks about how to score his teammates and how to lead his team.
Therefore, before the start of the game, the Blazers arranged for Paul, that is to try to cut off the connection between his teammates, that is, cut off Paul's pass.
Therefore, when Paul took the ball, the Hornets always followed a defensive person in front of the other player's line of interference.
After Paul had controlled the ball for a while at the top of the arc, seeing that his teammates could not run out of the point guard, he had to take the ball and walk near the left sideline.
As the key target of marking, the task of defending Paul naturally fell on Xue Ding's head.
Seeing Paul dribble and want to go to the sideline, Xue Ding, who is familiar with Paul's style of play, naturally knows what he wants to do at this time, and then quickly followed, and stuck on the left side of Paul.
Usually at this time Paul will choose to walk the bottom line and walk around a little. There may be a ghostly pass in the middle, so Xue Ding stood early.
Seeing Xue Ding defending, Paul took the ball and tried to go to the left twice, but failed.
At this time, there was not much time left for the attack of 24 seconds. Paul gave up the idea of ​​sliding the bottom line and suddenly accelerated, rushing into the penalty area from the right.
Two sudden steps inwards, an emergency stop, near the free throw line, suddenly shot in the middle.
"Uh!"
Scored two points.
Although Paul had removed the meniscus after that serious injury, and his explosiveness had dropped compared to the previous seasons, but at this time Paul was obviously rushing to win the game.
So the first attack gave Xue Ding a lesson, which made Xue Ding a little surprised.
The Blazers quickly delivered the bottom line and handed it to Xue Ding, who then passed it to Batum in the frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, Batum broke into the penalty area and scored with a backhand layup.
The Hornets just scored two points, and the Blazers quickly scored one in less than 5 seconds.
On this side, Paul also wanted to return a fast break, but Stojkovic failed to catch the ball when he was going down, and was blocked by the rim.
Stojkovic made the audience laugh, and some even booed.
Blake snatched Stojkovic's rebound. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Long pass to Xue Ding.
Xue Ding took the ball, the Hornets had already settled down early, and Paul was in the lead.
Although Paul's height is only 1.83 meters, he can naturally assume the task of defending Xue Ding as the first defense winner last season.
After Xue Ding got the ball, Paul immediately came close and made physical contact, trying to pull out the ball in Xue Ding's hand. Stojkovic and Okafor were also ready to come over and assist at any time. .
In the face of the three-man team that has formed, Xue Ding guards the ball, facing Paul, and tries to walk.
Then he suddenly stepped back and shot three points!
"The ball made a perfect arc in the air.
"Uh!"
The ball hits the net.
