After lunch, Liu Xiu accepted interviews with several domestic media before going to the TD Water House Center Gymnasium, which had been scheduled long ago.

The domestic sports world attaches great importance to this year's summer league. Three Chinese players will participate in the summer league this year.

Wang Zhizhi, who represented the Clippers in the Southern California Summer League and Las Vegas Summer League, Battle, who represented the Spurs in the Boston Summer League and Rocky Mountain Summer League, and just been drafted by the NBA to represent the Trail Blazers in the Orlando Summer League and

Liu Xiu of the Rockies Summer League.

Neither Battelle nor Wang Zhizhi are new faces. In the 2002-03 season, Battelle won a championship ring with the Spurs and became the first Chinese player to win a championship ring.

Wang Zhizhi had American teams interested in him in the mid-1990s, but he didn't participate in the draft until 1999 when he was 22 years old, and he didn't officially enter the NBA until 2001 when he was 24 years old.

Neither of them can be considered successful, and their commercial value and promotion value are basically gone.

The key point is still on Liu Xiu's side.

Although most media in the United States and the management of most NBA teams do not yet know what the Chinese market represents, and Yao Ming's Chinese player effect has not yet begun, NBA officials have been promoting the Chinese market after Liu Xiu was selected.

The concept of 'Chinese Men's Basketball Team's Internal and External Double Stars'.

Even if Liu Xiu is not popular in the United States, he will still be popular in the Chinese market.

When Liu Xiu was interviewed by domestic media, he answered questions in a very official and precise manner.

Liu Xiu is also aware of the current domestic public opinion environment. This is the era when public knowledge is most common. Many people believe that public knowledge has reached the point of being crazy and everything can be connected. The public opinion environment can be described as a mess.

.

When Liu Xiu encountered questions that might be misleading, such as the difference between the training environment at home and abroad, he would just laugh and talk about it. If he couldn't do it, he would give an official answer as much as possible.

This is quite tiring. Even if you have agreed on the answers with the brokerage company before, troublesome situations will still arise.

But Liu Xiuzai worked very hard to avoid stepping into the trap. As long as many things are within the rules, there is no need to get into any trouble.

As the Chinese people broaden their horizons, understand more about the world, and have a clearer judgment on the sinister intentions of some people... things will gradually get better.

…

Not surprisingly, when the Trail Blazers arrived at the TD Waterhouse Center in the afternoon, they were not welcomed by the American media at all. Even as a summer league team, they were not welcomed by the American media, except for Liu Xiu's interview.

It's a big year for the draft, and the 13th overall pick is considered a high pick. The exclusive interview with American cable TV is finally here just before the start of the summer league.

The interview process was very routine. As a rookie, just ask about college, college championship history, draft experience... This is the first exclusive interview with a national-level media, this is for Liu Xiu's lottery pick status.

People's perception is always a little special. For example, a player, no matter who the player is, always enters the lottery. It gives people the feeling that he may become a superstar in the future and gets exposure resources.

There will be more.

This first interview feels more like paving the way for future documentaries. If Liu Xiu really types this kind of thing in the future, it will come in handy. If he doesn’t type it out... it doesn’t matter. We have to start with Liu Xiuyi

It is difficult to find out any news from a rookie. There are general templates, so of course we should use them.

However, there are still some questions that Liu Xiu needs to think about before answering. Some of them have nothing to do with Liu Xiu... There are also some, but if you have to say that they are related, you are just talking about it - "Jace, who do you think is the best in the 2003 class?"

Good rookie? Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James?"

Liu Xiu's answer was: "I think Carmelo Anthony is better than LeBron James."

…

There are six participating teams in this Orlando Summer League. In addition to the Trail Blazers and the host Magic, there are four other teams: the Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Heat, and Bucks.

The other teams were quite lively during the interview session. The players of the Trail Blazers summer league team were miserable and had fewer opportunities to be in the news than other teams, but they also had their own things - they were working hard to impress the coach.

That is to say, they will practice more at the training ground arranged by the Magic.

Randolph and Liu Xiu made an appointment to buy a computer and play video games together after finishing their work in the afternoon.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming back from the exclusive interview, Randolph joked: "Wow, our big star is back for an exclusive interview. I'm so envious."

Liu Xiu responded: "Who made you not selected for the lottery? I can't help it, I really don't want to go."

There was another wave of map cannons, but the healing value Liu Xiu got from his teammates through this was already very little.

'Some people may be numb, and some people may have negative emotions not just because of basketball, but because they just don't like watching me...'

Liu Xiu didn't care much about this; Randolph just rolled his eyes, thinking that this rookie could really hold a grudge.

Randolph was deeply impressed by what happened that day when they first met.

It doesn't matter, Randolph said: "Let's go to the Cyber ​​City to buy a computer!"

"Wait a minute, Zach, I need your help with something."

Randolph asked: "What happened?"

"I want to learn low post singles from you!" Liu Xiu was very direct.

"I can teach you," Randolph did not refuse, and continued: "It's just that this technique is more difficult and requires talent and time to polish."

Liu Xiu nodded: "I understand, then you hurry up and teach me, I will learn it quickly and buy a computer soon."

"Didn't you understand what I said?" Randolph exploded: "This technique is difficult!"

As Liu Xiu expected, Randolph was spot on in this regard.

In this situation, the rookies Travis Outlaw and Matt Carroll next to them didn't know what to do. They took a break between training and saw Liu Xiu and Randolph getting into an argument over something they didn't agree on.

Don't know what to do.

Before Liu Xiu could continue the operation, Maurice Cheeks appeared out of nowhere: "Hey, Zach, Jess, what are you doing?"

Although I don’t know where the head coach came from, watching Randolph suppress his anger when he saw Maurice Cheeks saved Liu Xiu some trouble with his words.

Liu Xiu responded: "I'm learning from Zach how to hit in the low post."

Randolph suppressed his anger and responded: "Yes, I'm going to teach Jace how to hit from the back right away. I want to see how geniuses can learn it quickly."

Maurice Cheeks nodded when he heard this: "Your relationship is still so good, and you must always help each other, unite and be friendly in the future!"

After Morris Cheeks finished speaking, he left. Travis Outlaw and Matt Carroll looked confused - where could it be seen that the relationship was still so good? Where was the unity and friendship?

…

A few minutes later, Liu Xiu and Randolph had finished exercising, and Randolph started teaching directly.

Liu Xiuben wanted to stay active for a while, but Randolph was in a irritable state, so he didn't want to do it.

'I want to see how you can learn it right away, yet you despise my skills so much!'

With this idea in mind, Randolph walked onto the court and said: "I'll show you the basic moves. If you don't remember it, you can ask me to do it again. You're welcome."

Randolph's tone was full of teasing, and Liu Xiu didn't think anything was wrong. He, Liu, was the one who caused the trouble first.

After Randolph finished speaking, he didn't care whether Liu Xiu answered or not. He walked for the first half, introducing the technique of exerting force, talking about how difficult and difficult the technique was, and performing the movements at the same time.

Obviously, Randolph specially selected a technically difficult back-fighting movement to teach, which is completely different from the normal teaching method from easy to difficult.

After introducing and demonstrating twice, Randolph said: "Jace, if you haven't seen it, I can show it to you a few more times."

Liu Xiu did not answer, feeling heartache...

"Great Magician (Incomplete):

Quick learning starts.

Study object: Zach Randolph.

Learning content: Zach Randolph’s excellent post-up skills training method.

It has been turned on, consuming 1500 healing points..."

The thousand digit of the healing value has changed from 5 to 3...

Without saying anything, Liu Xiu walked onto the court and picked up the ball. He recalled the actions that had just come into his memory, and his body moved involuntarily.

Randolph originally wanted to see Liu Xiu's joke and make Liu Xiu realize that his Lan Pang skills were very difficult!

There is a reason for Randolph's irritability. He is often said to only rely on his body to play and has no future. He wants to prove himself, but he didn't expect that the friends he just met also underestimated his skills.

However, when Randolph looked at Liu Xiu's back hitting action, he went from surprise, to shock, to confusion...

Just now, when Randolph was doing this back-punching action, because he had to introduce and dismantle the action, he didn't do it in a standard way. He just explained each link very clearly.

And Liu Xiu, following the learned movements, was very smooth!

Randolph even felt that Liu Xiu's movements were no different from his standard movements during training!

"Oh, Zach, this technique of yours is really difficult. This fake move will definitely be effective when playing in the low post. It also makes great use of physical fitness. Let's learn the next move! Hurry up!"

"Ah...oh..."

Randolph got out of his shock when he returned to the court again.

'It's unscientific! It's impossible! How can it be learned in one go? I spent the whole summer last year!'

Randolph's whole body is in bad shape!

'I don't believe it! I showed you the most difficult movements in detail, and I don't believe he can learn it just by looking at it!'

…

Maurice Cheeks came to the TD Waterhouse Center today for business. He accepted the work arrangement from the team's new general manager John Nash to discuss trade issues with Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas.

Just make contact and see if the other party is willing to trade.
