In the eyes of others, Liu Xiu's casual look seemed to be indifferent, and some people thought he was confident.

In the eyes of teammates, Liu Xiu was already full of fighting spirit before the game started, and there seemed to be a sea of ​​stars in his eyes...

Then in the game, Liu Xiu was full of fighting spirit. He continued to work hard when playing well, and did not get discouraged when playing well. He tried hard to find a way. In such a game, it seemed that there was nothing difficult to get him.

But in fact, he has done his best.

‘The difference between professional basketball and college basketball is too big. Centers like Ruben Bonteger and Lauren Woods are definitely very good centers in college, but in the summer league, both of them are just ordinary players and can’t even play in the NBA.’

Liu Xiu was a little sad when he thought of this.

He didn't notice anything before - the unsuccessful candidates who are looking for jobs in the summer league and may not be able to find a job, and the abandoned rookies were once the prides of heaven in college!

Without considering tacit understanding, teamwork, and only looking at personal abilities, the summer league can abuse the NCAA basketball championship.

In college, in one game, it would be nice to have players like Kirk Perry and Lauren Woods like one or two.

Leaving college and coming to the Summer League, it was just the Summer League. Players like Kirk Perry and Lauren Woods were actually just one of the weakest players on their opponents...

After all, in March Crazy alone, there are more than 60 teams, hundreds of schools in the first-tier league, and only a few dozen people enter the NBA every year. If you don’t enter the top one, you will look for the possibility of entering the NBA in the summer league and other places.

As for the "lazy" he always maintains on the court, it is actually limited to expressions and some small body movements that are not related to the game.

He would never tell others that he had practiced these expressions and small movements.

‘Oh, since you have entered the NBA, you have to accept this.’

‘If you play for one more year in college, it will definitely be easier to start in the NBA; but the system upgrade will come later…everyone has their own benefits.’

‘Rookie season goal – get stable playing time and have my team position!’

Laziness is also beneficial. After Liu Xiudan felt a little hurt, she chose to accept this matter.

With a thought, the system prompts us.

"Please set the simulation training target and time, and the simulation training will be carried out in the set order. When the remaining physical strength is exhausted..."

He has learned that the coaching staff is interested in him, that is, if he can't sell his combat power too high, then he will sell his "talent"!

So, he chose to carry on the back and forth singles simulation training.

The simulation training duration is of course hard.

Before falling asleep, Liu Xiu thought--'I thought I was a hard-working player. I tried hard to restrain my training impulse every day and saved my physical strength for simulation training. As a result, I became a genius player in the NBA...'

...

...

The three summer leagues in early and mid-July have already begun.

Liu Xiu saw from the news that almost 350 athletes participated in the first wave of the third group of summer leagues, among which 106 players were selected and out of the rookies this year, less than half of the rookies this year.

Liu Xiu sighed at this number. He was actually the top amateur basketball player in the United States and a young genius around the age of 20.

As a result, more than half of the people didn't even have the chance to enter the summer league to compete for it.

But I just sighed, and the daily feeling was filled with tears, and there was nothing more.

The Orlando Summer League has begun. One game a day, played for 5 consecutive days, and the event is over, ranking by the number of wins.

After all, it is a new summer league, not as perfect as the rules of the Las Vegas Summer League. Sometimes there are about twenty teams participating in the Las Vegas Summer League.

On July 8, the second game day, the Trail Blazers ushered in a match with the host Magic.

At this stage, when seeing the Magic's jersey, Liu Xiu thought of the edited interview clip that had been popular for a long time ago - 'I am now considering the opponent in the next round'.

This sentence is correct when McGrady said, but there is still half of the sentence before - 'If it was last season'.

The background is that when McGrady led the Magic to the top Pistons in the first round, he led 3-1 with a big score, just in time, the 7-inning 4-win system in the first round was the start of this playoffs.

It's so terrible. After McGrady said this, the Pistons won three consecutive games, making a super big comeback 4-3.

The Magic's draft was also very sad. They chose the player they wanted - Reese Gaines, a tall shooting guard who was 198 cm tall and weighed 93 kg. The draft template was very interesting - Kobe Bryant.

As a result, after the draft ended, before the free market could be opened, Reese Gaines fell at the party and injured his groin...

Liu Xiu saw in the news that Reese Gaines was injured for six to eight weeks. To put it simply, he couldn't play in the summer league anymore.

For the first few rookies, even if they are directly reimbursed for the rookie season, each team will be patient. However, in the middle of the first round, rookies in this range are generally rookies of the "bet a talent".

The talent of the rookies in this range makes people expect certain talents, but they are not so high that they are recognized, and their combat power is usually not very high.

This type of rookie was injured when he was selected. He couldn't play in the summer league in the rookie season, and his future was cast on the shadow...

The Magic have no great young players in the summer league this summer, only one player with a contract, and Robert Archibald, the second round pick in the 2002nd round.

There are two rookies, one is Zaza Pachuria, who was selected in the 13th pick in the second round, and the other is the rookie power forward Britton Johnson.

The other dozen players are all Development League players, overseas players, and veterans who are temporarily difficult to find jobs in the NBA.

Not to mention, such a team is the strongest among the six participating teams!

92 to 104, the Trail Blazers were beaten by the host Magic and lost their second game.

In fact, it is not all about winning the contract for players. As the summer league is held more and more, a group of "old gangsters" have become more and more.

There is always a group of players whose strength and talent are not up to the NBA level, and they are in the Development League or low-level league. They no longer expect to enter the NBA. They are used to their current life. They are even well-known in the locations of teams in various places, and they are familiar with each other. They play ball and cooperate with each other and play basketball. Maybe some top-notch NBA stars can't get it well if they meet them.

Every year, there are always a few teams who do not have good young players to play in the summer league, but they have to play in the game. No matter how you try to find the treasure, in order to ensure that the lineup has a certain competitiveness in the summer league, they will sign those "old bastards".

This was the first time Liu Xiu encountered this kind of thing. When Randolph mentioned this, his basketball understanding was expanded.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, this was a fuller and more normal basketball world.

In this game against the Magic, Liu Xiu played for 26 minutes, scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 4 mistakes. He performed well, and made more mistakes, but most of them were not his problem.

His playing style is very steady!

He knew what he should show, and on a steady basis, he showed his ‘talent’.

Unfortunately, he didn't get any good or bad from the Magic. He only got 71 healing points throughout the game, and only got 50 healing points in the basic healing points in the game.

...

On July 9, the third day of Orlando Summer League, at 7 p.m., the Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves played a game.

The gap in strength is too big. The Timberwolves did not find a group of "old bastards" like the host Magic, but the Timberwolves itself has not had many high-quality young players over the years.

The problem lies with the Timberwolves themselves. Joe Smith's Yin-Yang contract made the Timberwolves deprived of their first-round draft pick from 2001 to 2005!

Many media are not so accurate when reporting on the punishments encountered by the Timberwolves. It is said that the league deducts the Timberwolves' first-round draft pick in the past five years. In fact, the league deprives the Timberwolves of their first-round draft picks in the past five years. The Timberwolves cannot even get the first-round draft picks in the past five years through trades to select their favorite rookies.

So in the past few years, Garnett has gradually reached its peak, but the Timberwolves have had a particularly difficult time because they have one less way to strengthen the team than other teams.

Before this year's draft draw, the league returned the draft qualifications for 2003 and 2005 to the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves had 51 wins and 31 losses last season, fourth in the league, with only 26th pick, and selected a British power forward, Eddie Ibi.

The deepest impression this power forward of the same class left on Liu Xiu was that he was thin!

If it weren't for the large height difference, Liu Xiu really wanted to sit in the inside to play this power forward of the same class.

Liu Xiu, 93 kg, this 206 cm power forward weighs 92 kg.

Liu Xiu rushed to the basket tonight and pushed the opponent's inside layup to the outside, including the free throw score, a total of 10 points...

The Trail Blazers performed fiercely this time, 116 to 79 and slaughtered the Timberwolves more than 30 points.

Liu Xiu scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Randolph scored 21 points, Travis Outlow scored 21 points, and Quente Woods scored a game-high 30 points.

Liu Xiu still didn't get much regular healing value in this game, 85 points, but he won the game and performed very well. Although he was not as powerful as the Heat, Kuntel Woods took advantage of the opponent's poor frame protection under the basket and became the best in the game, but Liu Xiu performed very well, got an A- score and got a 150 healing value.

After the game, Liu Xiu looked at the game score and was satisfied today.

A 235-point healing point in a game is enough for me to be lazy and full of energy for a day. Now, there are only one hour of simulation training every day when there are competitions every day. Even if there are more healing points, it will be enough for three days.

The interview tonight was with Kuntel Woods, Liu Xiu, and there will be interviews with domestic reporters in the locker room later.

Just as he was about to leave, a tall man appeared in front of Liu Xiu.

The future Lakers legend LeBron James!

James took the initiative to come to Liu Xiu and greeted him: "Hello, Jace, your performance today is great. I hope it will be here immediately tomorrow and we can fight earlier."

This way of greeting was repeated by James, "Nestumet" and relatively formal.

I praised him directly afterwards, but he seemed less polite, so I tried to get in touch with him.

James has watched Liu Xiu's two games, and he felt that Liu Xiu's strength is average, but James felt that Liu Xiu's playing style was inexplicably incompatible with him.

It doesn't require too much ball rights, is willing to run, has a very good ability to cut into the ball and attack the frame, pass accurately, and throw it decisively when picking up the pot...

It’s hard to say about the future. Anyway, Liu Xiu has become one of the targets of James casting a wide net.

As for the minor friction before the draft, James chose to ignore it.

Didn't the quarrel start that time?

However, some "touches" cannot be overcome.

Liu Xiu raised his neck and looked at James with confusion, saying, "Your Cavaliers are very weak, but I didn't expect you to fight us while we were just tired of playing a game.

Are older people so thoughtful?

No, no, I don’t think it’s not that the old man has changed, but that the bad man has grown older…”
