14. You are a good person(1/2)
Fuck, it’s a plant.
You can learn it with your hands. This wave of map cannons made all the teammates watching feel bad.
Being talented is actually something that makes people envious and jealous. Having talent and showing off it really makes people envious and jealous.
But there was nothing they could do. They saw Randolph demonstrate an action with their own eyes, and Liu Xiu immediately learned it in a good way. Liu Xiu practiced it twice more, and without considering the speed, the smoothness and standard of the movements were achieved.
Not inferior to Randolph who just demonstrated!
"Jace, come on, let's go one-on-one and let me see how you can hit the back."
Maurice Cheeks still couldn't believe it and wanted to verify it for himself.
Liu Xiu, on his side, was worried that he could not find any reason to show off the back kick he had just learned, so he forced himself to show it, which was a bit silly. Maurice Cheeks gave him a pillow, and Liu Xiu decisively started to show it off.
Maurice Cheeks is 47 years old and 185 centimeters tall. It has been 10 years since he retired and he has maintained a good shape.
1 championship, 5 All-Defensive teams including 4 times on first defense, 4 All-Stars including 1 All-Star starter, and his jersey has been retired by the 76ers.
What Maurice Cheeks was best at as a player was defense and passing. Before Payton, the best defensive point guard in NBA history was Maurice Cheeks. He was very good at pressing and stealing defense. His career routine
The total number of steals in the game reached 2310, ranking third in NBA history after Stockton and Jordan.
Maurice Cheeks did not use pressure defense against Liu Xiu. He just wanted to test Liu Xiu's back-playing skills. He just predicted in advance and moved to the position where Liu Xiu should move when playing with his back. Look.
Liu Xiu's reaction.
Both of them are not moving very fast. Maurice Cheeks does not provide any confrontation. Liu Xiu can be like training, not so familiar, and can slowly do the moves that were not so commonly used before...
Instead of asking Liu Xiu to demonstrate all the moves, Maurice Cheeks believed that Liu Xiu learned the back hit after just one look.
It is obvious that Liu Xiu's technical movements are still very unfamiliar, and some movements are performed very slowly. He needs to practice proficiently before he can speed up without making mistakes.
But this is what makes Maurice Cheeks feel the scariest, because this is really what he has just learned.
Moreover, the degree of completion of Liu Xiu Society is too high!
Compared with the temporary players who were watching, Maurice Cheeks, who has played in the NBA for 15 years and has been a top player in the NBA all year round, has a much more sinister vision. He even feels that Liu Xiu does not need to do extra things and only needs to do what he is doing now.
When practicing technical movements, you don’t need to think about anything else. Practice slowly, practice makes perfect, and you will be able to practice back hitting to a very good level!
Maurice Cheeks also wanted to squat in the corner with Randolph and doubt life... Who was not a star back then? But Liu Xiu's talent is too outrageous!
Suddenly, Maurice Cheeks became happy again.
'Hey! This is my player!'
…
"Healing value +99, from Maurice Cheeks."
Liu Xiu stared at this prompt for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the first full healing value increase after coming to the Trail Blazers was given by their coach!
Even Randolph, after Liu Xiu's successful guidance, gave him the most healing value of only 91.
'This coach is a bit interesting...'
Randolph alone gave more than 400 healing points, Maurice Cheeks gave a wave of 99 points, and the others together also had more than 200 points.
The healing value given by others was not much, because Liu Xiu really showed his talent this time, and even Liu Xiu's previous "work" seemed reasonable.
He just has talent, what can you do?
If you can also learn to play post-ups after watching it once, you can do the same... There are also some who are more jealous and unhappy, but they are only a minority.
Seeing that there were more than 4,300 healing points left, Liu Xiu didn't feel so distressed.
Originally, you could ask for advice in private and just learn it for a while. The reason why I came to learn it in public was because I wanted to learn something.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Randolph to recover more than 800 points by himself.
Seeing that Randolph seemed to have come to his senses, Liu Xiu said, "Let's go, Zach, to the Cyber City. It's a bit far there. What if we get there late and it's closed?"
"Ah...oh...ok..."
Although Randolph came back to his senses, he still couldn't believe it. He was currently on hangup. When Liu Xiu said this, he followed him.
Maurice Cheeks was confused and asked: "Jace, why don't you stay and train for a while?"
"Coach, there is no training scheduled for this afternoon, right?"
"No, but you just learned a new technique and you don't want to practice more to consolidate the foundation?"
"Next time, I'm a little tired from learning new techniques today. I want to take a break. There is a saying in our country called work-rest balance."
Join your sister! I heard you say you want to go to Digital City, okay?
Watching Liu Xiu and Randolph heading towards the locker room, Maurice Cheeks felt bad.
For the first time since he became a coach, he felt that emotion - regret for a young player wasting his talent.
Liu Xiu, a rookie, is surprisingly lazy!
…
…
July 7th is the first game day of the Orlando Summer League.
As a new league that was just launched in 2001, the Orlando Summer League has only 6 participating teams including the host Magic.
Due to the small number of participating teams, all games will be held at the TD Waterhouse Center Stadium.
The Trail Blazers' first game opponent is the Miami Heat, starting at 3 p.m.
There is a game at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Timberwolves play the Bucks, and there is a C-level game in the evening, the Cavaliers play the host Magic.
At 8:30 in the morning, the Trail Blazers gathered at the training ground to prepare for the game.
The preparations for this game are based on the preparation rhythm of NBA games.
The reason why the Summer League was originally held this season was to allow rookies to experience NBA-level games earlier. Even if the opponents are weak, it can also allow rookies to experience adult basketball and have a clearer understanding of themselves.
In the next two months of offseason, more targeted training can be carried out.
Pre-game meetings, tactical arrangements, pre-game training... In the morning, Liu Xiu followed the team to fully experience what needs to be done on NBA game day.
In the process, Liu Xiu gave Randolph and Maurice Cheeks a bit of pain in the balls, and also made Kevin Plitt, the chief assistant who heard that he had learned the post-up shot just by watching him yesterday afternoon.
Cha opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Last night, Liu Xiu’s simulation training was to train Zach Randolph’s post-up.
The fit is high, the simulation training is effective throughout the training, plus an 80% training effect bonus... Since there were only a few 10-minute team training matches yesterday, Liu Xiu's physical exertion yesterday was far less than the physical exertion of the training the day before yesterday.
The training of post-up shooting is more difficult than that of ball control and shooting, but there are still 2 and a half hours of simulated training.
Although two and a half hours of simulation training could not bring about qualitative changes, it made Liu Xiu's technical movements smoother.
During the break in training before the game, Liu Xiu showed off his progress, which upset Randolph, who had been paying attention to him!
He always thought he was a genius, but after seeing Liu Xiu, he realized what a real genius was...
…
After lunch, the Trail Blazers Summer League team came to the TD Waterhouse Center Arena again, and the game started at 3 p.m.
Liu Xiu and the five-man team of Randolph, Travis Outlaw, Ruben Bontje, and Matt Carroll were hanging out inside and outside the arena.
When walking to the main entrance of the arena, Randolph cursed...
The eyes of the four companions were all focused on Randolph.
Randolph pointed to the LED light sign at the TD Waterhouse Center, which said that tickets for the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers were sold out.
Randolph has played in the summer league for two years, and he has never seen a stadium with more than 10,000 people sell out!
"Is that high school student so popular?" Randolph said in a sour tone.
Liu Xiu responded: "Yes, I am always asked questions related to him in interviews these days. His popularity is about the same as Duncan's back then."
Globally, Garnett is currently more well-known than Duncan, but in the United States, Duncan's popularity is no worse than Garnett. From the 1997-98 season to the 2002-03 season, 5 National Games were held.
In the All-Star Game, Duncan's total votes were about the same as Garnett's.
All in all, Duncan's popularity in the United States is slightly higher than Garnett's, and he was extremely popular before he entered the NBA.
Hearing Liu Xiu's answer, Randolph became even more bitter and asked: "You are in the same class, Jace, is his talent really that high? How does it compare with you?"
Liu Xiu got a small fan from nowhere, fanned it quickly, and said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary 13th pick in the first round, how can I compare with other people's first pick geniuses?"
What about talent?"
When people smile, they always show their top eight teeth. When the four teammates looked at Liu Xiu, who was smiling with four teeth on top and bottom showing a total of eight teeth, they really wanted to slap him.
After Randolph took a deep breath, he said, "Jess, give me Carmelo Anthony's phone number."
"What's wrong? Do you want to make a date with him? No, their family is not easy to mess with."
"Who the hell wants to have a fight with him? Am I crazy?"
"Then why do you want his phone number?"
