Morris-Cheeks almost fell off his chair while fishing.

This rookie... has the prettiest face in the audience, speaks the most heart-wrenching words in the gentlest tone.

Liu Xiu's words might not be particularly problematic in other circumstances.

But among the summer league teams, no matter how good the tone, attitude, or appearance, everyone who hears it will know that it is a mockery.

In addition to the way they looked at Liu Xiu just now, and the comments they made without lowering their voices at all...

Everyone knew that this was Liu Xiu's counterattack.

This is much more lethal than those people's eyes and comments!

When the players were about to go berserk, Maurice Cheeks stood up and clapped his hands.

Liu Xiu guessed that someone might stand up and even prepare for a conflict.

The most likely candidate is Quintel Woods, the 21st overall pick in the 2002 first round.

Although I don’t know why this player with a contract seems to be the most unhappy, if there is no accident, if someone jumps out, it will most likely be this one... But Maurice Cheeks clapped his hands and already took his left foot.

Quintel Woods took his foot back... in a frightened way.

"Okay, everyone is here. Let's warm up first. Kevin, you make arrangements for group training." After Maurice Cheeks finished speaking, he continued to fish.

Maurice Cheeks easily prevented any possible conflict.

Today is assembly day, and most of the Trail Blazers summer league teams are looking for jobs. Although they are unhappy, on the first day, everyone's emotions are very restrained, and they don't want to be regarded as a thorn in the side.

Quintel Woods didn't jump out immediately, so the others just tolerated it.

What if? What if that rookie is really a blessing?

There is no other way besides self-comfort.

'Our coach seems to be quite dignified in the hearts of the regular players, which is different from what Bill said in the news...'

Of course Liu Xiu was happy that there was no conflict.

"Healing value +91, from Quintel Woods."

"Healing value +65, from Eric Barkley."

"Healing value +39, from Tita Carter."

"..."

"..."

"The available healing value is 5113 points."

Join a new team and get the first wave of healing points!

The new team has just been formed now, and every player in the team who is looking for a job is in the most anticipated stage.

Next, even if the group training only starts, some people will definitely have lower expectations and lower confidence... This will eliminate people. Maybe someone will be eliminated today, and the day after tomorrow is when the summer league starts on July 7th. It will definitely not

There may be more than 20 people all going to play the game.

Compared with many newcomers who don't know what to do after being selected, Liu Xiu has already inquired about these things.

Generally speaking, there are two days of preparation time before the start of the summer league. The first day is the individual test, and the second day is the team training test. In the middle, people are constantly eliminated until the number of people in the team is reduced to 15 people, and these 15 people are also

Not everyone has a chance to play in the summer league.

It's not just that teams can give up players at will, players have to leave. If it's just a summer league contract, players can leave at any time.

Very sloppy, very cruel, very random.

But here’s the thing, NBA teams don’t have high expectations for finding treasures in the summer league, and they will try, but the most important thing in the summer league is to train new players.

So Liu Xiu had the opportunity to shoot decisively, and this opportunity was not created by himself, but came to him - when he changed his jersey and came out of the locker room, many people looked at him strangely because of his figure.

, the words without lowering the voice also disgusted him.

Liu Xiu decisively guided him toward basketball-related matters, and after receiving the healing value, Liu Xiu breathed another sigh of relief.

However, there are more than 20 temporary teammates in total, and not all of them have healing value.

Yesterday, Liu Xiu got a list from Bill Duffy. Most of the player information on the Trail Blazers summer league team was available. There were only a few that were missing. It was just that the Trail Blazers had not yet compiled the information when Bill Duffy was collecting it.

It was included in the summer league team.

Comparing the information, Liu Xiu has been observing the reactions of his temporary teammates since he first came in.

At the trainer's signal, Liu Xiu was going to the gym to warm up. When he turned around, he was shocked!

A fat black man was hunched over and stretching his almost invisible neck to stare at him!

Randolph actually came to participate in the summer league! This guy will be in his third year next season, so he's having a rough time.

Randolph was not included in the information provided by Bill Duffy. Most of them were pure summer league contracts. It was probably because he did not expect that Randolph would be arranged to participate in the summer league.

But is this a fight? No, Lan Pang's eyes should be curious, Liu Xiu took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, handsome guy, hello, I'm Jace."

handsome guy!

This was the first time Randolph encountered this way of greeting, but he liked this word!

Take a closer look at Liu Xiu's body shape... Their passer-by body type is quite rare in the NBA.

Things like good feelings don't happen all of a sudden.

"Hi, I'm Zach, you're new here, right? If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Randolph's response was quite enthusiastic.

Seeing Randolph turning around and walking towards the gym, Liu Xiu didn't expect to say hello casually, but the other party was so... Is this the American version of 'But he called me Miss'?

…

While Liu Xiu and Randolph were warming up, other players had already started conducting various tests with the help of assistant coaches, trainers, and staff.

In other words, Liu Xiu and Randolph had just arrived, and they hadn't even done a good job of warming up.

When Liu Xiu came out from the warm-up, he saw that Randolph had already started training.

"Ouch! Ouchiaite! Summer league, summer league again..."

Randolph was squirting while practicing.

The coaching staff passed by but had no reaction, which seemed to be expected...

'This team is really interesting...'

Liu Xiu recalled the reactions of Quintel Woods and Randolph when they faced the coaching staff.

'The most important thing is to do your own thing well first.'

Talking is all about talking, Liu Xiu was very serious in the warm-up and test sessions, and tried his best to show off his strengths.

Unlike Liu Xiu's expectation that many people would come to challenge him, at the end of the day, although he did not communicate with some of his temporary teammates, it seemed that there was a natural boundary between him and some of his teammates, except for an occasional taunt or two.

Or provocation, no one really broke his skin, including Quintel Woods, who had been unhappy with him since he came to the training ground.

On the first day of joining the summer league team, I didn’t want to cause trouble. I have become more mature after entering the society for a few years. The initial discomfort has passed and I have calmed down... Liu Xiu thinks that these possibilities are possible.

Moreover, not everyone is on the opposite side of him.

He still got to know a few teammates and communicated with them.

The 23rd overall pick of the same class, Travis Outlaw, is a high school rookie who is positioned as a small forward. He has a criminal name, but he acts like a good boy.

Although Liu Xiu's words just now are a bit vicious, he looks harmless and good-looking. Compared with Quintel Woods and his gang who don't look like good people, who speak and act with a violent attitude, high school rookie O

Tello chose Liu Xiu's side.

This year's undrafted Matt Carroll is a senior with brown hair and a Rock Lee hairstyle, a tall white shooting guard who is 1.98cm tall.

Ruben Bontje, a player who entered the NBA in the second round of the 2001 class, is a standard center with a height of 213 centimeters and a weight of 117 kilograms.

Also, Randolph, who had been complaining all day long, was in the same clique as Liu Xiu on the first day.

Most of the temporary teammates hadn't spoken to each other at the end of the day, and Liu Xiu didn't care.

Most of these more than 20 temporary teammates may never see each other again after this summer league.

This is not a high probability, but a certainty...

At 4 p.m., the day's testing ends.

Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Ruben Bontje stood together to form a small team.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but these five people happened to be in positions one to five.

"Orlando has a really nice environment. There are many museums and parks. Let's go for a walk and then find a place to have dinner?" Liu Xiu extended an invitation to the people who had the most exchanges with each other throughout the day.

"I will still be training for a while to prepare for the game the day after tomorrow."

"I want to discuss my baseline counter-attack attack with the trainer..."

Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, and Ruben Bontje all stayed to continue training for various reasons.

Liu Xiu and Randolph left the training ground. It seemed that except for them, no one left after the training arranged by the coaching staff.

"Zach, do we want to go back and show off our efforts?"

"Ah...right, no one has left, but, Jess, I have shown everything I know, and there is nothing left to show. What about you?"

"Everything I know is also displayed."

Liu Xiu and Randolph looked at each other, feeling like they cherished each other.

That's right! We are all lazy, why bother pretending to be a hard worker?

Isn't it even more embarrassing to pretend for a day or two and then reveal the truth later?

…

…

I sat in the car all day and thought I would arrive at 7 o'clock, but I didn't get home until almost 9 o'clock. My whole head was a blur. Fortunately, I rested for a while and wrote a chapter without interrupting the update.
Chapter completed!
