20. The little emperor of the middle two teenagers (5800 words Happy New Year~)(1/2)
The damn bad guys are getting old!
However, James felt that there was nothing wrong with the statement itself. His mature logical thinking allowed him to easily understand that this statement was correct.
But he is really not old!
James roared: "I'm only 18 years old! I'm younger than you!"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and replied: "Yes, I am definitely older than you. I am very confident about this."
"..."
James suspected that Liu Xiu was driving, but people nowadays are relatively simple. The car had already driven out. James didn't fully react and was speechless.
James himself didn't know why he was speechless, but he was angry and speechless now.
When Liu Xiu and Wade made their summer league debuts, James was secretly observing them.
Anthony's former partner Liu Xiu, and Wade, who was snatched by a magician as the fifth overall pick, were two people James had been planning to get to know since the draft.
After leaving an impression on Wade and becoming familiar with him, James has already started taking action since the training phase of the Orlando Summer League and successfully won favor. In this afternoon's match, James has verified that the opponent's talent is completely different.
Lost to him LeBron.
Liu Xiu, James and Liu Xiu had little contact before the draft, but they had people they knew in common, and some of them were opponents Liu Xiu met during March Madness.
During the game, although Liu Xiu does not always think about stimulating the opponent, most of the time he does not have that free time, and his strength is there. During the game, he often concentrates on the game itself... but timeouts, free throws, and breaks between periods
When he thinks about it, he will think of ways to stimulate the opponents around him. There are always a few who are impressed by Liu Xiu.
After James learned this, he has been hesitant about getting acquainted with Liu Xiu, but the Cavaliers will play against the Trail Blazers tomorrow, and James still wants to get to know Liu Xiu before the game.
The competition allowed Liu Xiu to understand his strength and conquer Liu Xiu with his personal charm!
James thought this way, and then he came, and then...now he is so angry!
I'm so angry that I don't even know what to say.
Because Liu Xiu told the truth, he is bigger...
Also, appearance is justice.
Just looking at looks and the general public's aesthetics, James has never seen anyone better looking than Liu Xiu, so in this case, James is just irritable, after all, there has been no real conflict.
James finally had a violent mood, and Liu Xiu liked it. Unfortunately, he didn't have such a violent mood before the draft. At that time, Liu Xiu directed the matter to basketball, and in the end he only got 5 healing points.
James really couldn't figure it out and asked, "Jace, aren't you worried about being beaten?"
"Um?"
Liu Xiu looked at James and found that the other man was not maliciously mocking or threatening, but seemed to be really curious about this question.
Liu Xiu didn't understand James's brain circuit, but... Liu Xiu said: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy..."
James was very curious as he listened to Liu Xiu's drawn-out voice... After he asked this question, he felt that it was inappropriate and that he was going to offend someone, but the other person didn't seem to be angry because of this, and he was really curious about the reason.
"I'm a pretty good fighter. I won the prize in the Sparring Competition at the New York State University Games last year... Sorry, I have to go to physical therapy. I'm going back to the locker room first. Bye."
"..."
James was petrified when he looked at Liu Xiu who got a piece of paper from nowhere and used it as a fan to fan him away.
James' world view has been refreshed - this answer is too outrageous, but it is also impeccable!
After Liu Xiu left, Jason Kapono, who came to watch the game with James, came next to James.
James then remembered the second overall pick in the second round selected by the Cavaliers with him, and asked: "Jason, where were you just now? I was looking for you for a while."
Kapono was too embarrassed to say that he was avoiding Liu Xiu. He did not answer James' question, but said: "LeBron, that guy is not easy to get along with, so don't waste your time contacting him..."
Kapono had an impressive game. In the 32-to-16 game in March Madness this year, his UCLA team faced Syracuse University, where Liu Xiu worked.
Syracuse University was unexpectedly strong, and UCLA lost that game.
In addition to losing, there are two things that impressed Kapono the most. One was when Liu Xiu stimulated Luke Walton's mentality to explode, and the second was when Liu Xiu slapped his college center teammate Good Hyde.
"It's not easy to get along with..." James agreed with this statement, but he had a different opinion: "But apart from teasing people, he doesn't seem to have much else, and he's not even mean."
James thought back to Liu Xiu's vague smile that always hung on the corner of his mouth, and thought of Liu Xiu's good friend Anthony in college, and how quickly he became acquainted with Randolph after entering the NBA... "Maybe that's just
It's his way of protecting himself.
We are rookies in the same class and should encourage each other. We all have our own little problems, and I also have many little problems. We should understand each other and make progress together to make our rookie class the strongest in history!"
is that so?
Needless to say, James' speech-like words made Kapono's heart surge. It felt very reasonable. He wanted to follow James and help James complete this great thing... Kapono didn't know why, but he just felt that this was a great thing.
A great thing.
When Kapono thought about it, it seemed that when Liu Xiu bullied Luke Walton, he didn't say any dirty words, and he didn't even say he was yin and yang.
Even after putting aside his 'prejudice', Kapono still felt that Liu Xiu was very polite.
Kapono watched Liu Xiu's figure disappear at the entrance of the players' tunnel. He felt that his brain was not used enough... He still felt that Liu Xiu did not look like a good person.
Kapono recalled that when there was a conflict after the game, Liu Xiu slapped UCLA center Goode Hyde down with a slap. Although the purpose was to prevent the conflict from continuing to expand... but it was too cruel.
Based on this, Kapono felt that if he was just protecting himself, Liu Xiuzui shouldn't be so obscene, or there was no need to be so obscene...
In Kapono's view, Liu Xiu may be really 'bad', a devil who enjoys bullying others, or the kind of devil with an angelic face.
But what James said, Kapono is very reasonable...
…
…
Liu Xiu didn't know that James had sent him a good guy card. His thoughts were not on James' side. Now everyone is not in the same circle. James belongs to the "high-end genius group". The one being compared was Anthony. After the summer league started
, based on the outstanding personal performance and playing characteristics of the two people, there is a saying of "New Generation Demon Bird Showdown".
Liu Xiu's side belongs to the "upset counterattack team", and there may be intersections in the future, but at this stage, Liu Xiu is just trying it out to see if he can lay the groundwork to gain more healing value when he plays against James in the future.
Judging from the current situation, it seems a bit difficult. The kind of verbal stimulation without real malice has little effect on James.
He won't bother to study how to get healing value from James alone. There are too many opponents. If you can take it, take it. If you can't get it, you can knock him down. What he is working hard now is to accumulate more healing value.
Completely activate the upgraded system, win the attention of the coaching staff, get more training opportunities and opportunities to play in the regular season, and the NBA will gain a firm foothold...
Liu Xiu returned to the locker room, and Randolph came up to him: "Jac, we will play against the Cavaliers tomorrow. They have Carlos Boozer. Do you think we have a high chance of winning?"
Liu Xiu asked in surprise: "Zach, you actually started to pay attention to the game. Oh my God, I didn't notice. Did the sun rise from the west today?"
"I also want to win, okay! I'm just not interested in the previous games. I have to play against the first overall pick and Carlos Boozer tomorrow..."
When Randolph said this, Liu Xiu remembered it and said, "Carlos Boozer is from Duke, right, and you are from the University of Michigan... Are you afraid of him?"
Which university is the strongest in American sports is a matter of opinion and everyone has their own reasons.
But when it comes to the NCAA 'Grand Slam', there is only one university - the University of Michigan.
Only the University of Michigan has won all four NCAA championships in basketball, football, ice hockey, and baseball. It is the only one in the NCAA, beating UCLA and USC.
However, after North Carolina produced Jordan and Duke produced Grant Hill, when people mentioned American college basketball, their first reaction was no longer the University of Michigan, UCLA, USC, Kansas, Kentucky...etc.
But Duke and North Carolina.
Therefore, in recent years, when athletes from various sports at the University of Michigan meet people from North Carolina and Duke, it is like meeting enemies. The NCAA also deliberately promotes this hostile tendency...
Under this situation, Liu Xiu visually guessed that Randolph wanted to compete with Boozer and decisively brought the topic to this aspect.
"How could I be afraid of him?" Randolph's voice rose, but then he became cautious: "Jace, don't underestimate Boozer. Although he is not a high draft pick, his talent and strength are not inferior to mine.
In his rookie season, he averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds per game. The Cavaliers gave up Te'lon Hill for him. In April last year, he averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 10 games, which was the highest in the last month of last year.
Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month.”
Although Randolph and Boozer didn't play against each other many times in college, there were a few times when both of them were power forwards with floor skills, similar heights, and large tonnages. They could occasionally carry the center... Every time they played against each other, they were both power forwards.
It's like fighting, they are all too strong.
Hearing that Randolph knew so much about Boozer's rookie year, Liu Xiu knew that this guy really valued Boozer's opponent.
Liu Xiu nodded and responded: "I know, but no matter how powerful he is, I still think you, Zach, are the strongest among the young insiders."
Randolph liked this.
As Randolph recognized Liu Xiu's talent more and more, Liu Xiu's praise gained more and more weight in Randolph's heart, reaching the point where it could increase Randolph's confidence.
At first, Randolph had a slight fondness for Liu Xiu just because Liu Xiu called him "Han De Sang", and later he and Liu Xiu got together and had a good chat.
This good feeling actually doesn't last long.
If Liu Xiu didn't have more things that resonated with Randolph and didn't have more common topics, they would gradually stop having fun together. Neither of them was the kind of person who would take the initiative to build a relationship.
But Liu Xiu learned to play post-up in minutes, which made Randolph feel that everyone was a genius!
I'm a genius, I'm lazy, I'm unruly, I don't care about the opinions of others... These self-perceptions always make people with these self-perceptions feel that they are awesome. It's other people's problems if others don't understand.
Liu Xiu praised him like this, and Randolph's confidence suddenly came back. Although he didn't get any advantage from playing against Boozer in college, he didn't suffer a loss either. It was just a back-and-forth between you and me.
Changing the topic, Randolph asked: "Jess, the first overall pick who was chatting with you just now is here to make friends with you?"
"He came to see you too?"
To be continued...
