26. The so-called genius(1/2)

Matt Carroll and Travis Outlaw were speechless.

This kind of thing no longer seemed strange to them.

Not long after they met, the two of them thought that their fellow teammate was not a good person.

But after a while, I realized that my mouth was just damaged.

Only now do I know that it can be described by more than just one bad word.

There is something wrong with this teammate.

But no matter what, the two of them are no longer so sensitive to Liu Xiu's words.

Others are different...

Most of these high-spirited college students have dreams of becoming professional players. They are invited by NBA summer league teams to play games. They feel that they are the chosen ones and have a bright future.

How can you not be angry when you hear this?

A pair of hostile eyes looked at Liu Xiu.

This is what Liu Xiu wants.

From Kevin Plitchar's words, and from the general ability evaluation of his teammates given by the system after everyone gathered together, Liu Xiu learned that there were no top NCAA players in this temporary teammate.

The Rocky Mountain Summer League is the only summer league that is purely charity. All profits after deducting operating costs are donated to the university. College basketball players will not be unable to participate in the NCAA competition just because they participate in this event.

However, this is not absolute. If something unexpected happens, the NCAA suddenly prohibits college basketball players who have participated in this summer league from continuing to play in NCAA games.

NCAA school teams will not allow their top players to compete.

Having played in the NCAA, Liu Xiu knows that colleges are in short supply of functional players. If these players do not cooperate during the game, the team will just replace them with a group of college players.

We know that this summer league is unlikely to achieve very good results, so just ignore it, practice your abilities, and accumulate more healing points.

Seeing that the healing value suddenly increased by 291, Liu Xiu couldn't bear it - 'Remind these children to recognize themselves, I am a good person...'





The Trail Blazers' second wave of summer league is about to begin. After all members gathered, they began testing physical conditions, skills and other aspects.

The 12 college basketball players were selected by the Trail Blazers scouting department. The Trail Blazers coaching staff already knows all the information.

On the contrary, after playing 5 games in the summer league, the coaching staff pays more attention to whether the three rookies have improved after more than a week of rest.

It doesn't take long, so what kind of leap forward... no one expects this.

After the Orlando Summer League, the three rookies all received individual coaching from the coaching staff, telling them the areas that needed improvement the most during the five games in the Orlando Summer League, with an emphasis on those that were easiest to change.

Travis Outlaw's test performance satisfied the coaching staff.

During the Orlando Summer League, Travis Outlaw always made a habit of tapping the ball to look for opportunities when he cut in to receive the ball.

This habit, in college and summer league, most of the time doesn't have much impact.

But if you get to the NBA, the problem will be bigger.

Travis Outlaw clearly made adjustments when the coaching staff specially arranged a few more sets of cutting and catching tests. Although it can be seen that he is still not used to it, it does not take ten days to get used to this kind of thing.

If you can change it in half a month and start changing it in the right direction, that's good.

Matt Carroll has a soft touch, has some passing ability, and can handle the ball well...but except for shooting, he is not good in other aspects, and this test is the same.

For an undrafted player, Kevin Plitcha, who was in charge of testing three rookies, didn't have high expectations, but he was still a little disappointed to see that there really wasn't much change.

After the test of the two teammates, Liu Xiu, who had exercised well, conducted a physical test.

He has qualified speed, excellent strength, and excellent flexibility... As a tonnage point guard, Liu Xiu's physical condition is actually quite excellent.

Kevin Plett looked at Liu Xiu's physical test report and was very satisfied. Such physical conditions mean that Liu Xiu may adapt quickly to the NBA.

But otherwise...

Kevin Pritcha learned something - Liu Xiu went home to rest during the holiday, and it seemed that he had never touched a basketball!

This matter is not difficult to find out. Liu Xiu's uncle's villa does not have a court. He originally planned to build half of the garden for Liu Xiu to train. It would not cost much to do it himself, but Liu Xiu refused.

Therefore, Liu Xiu has to train, either go to Syracuse University, or rent an arena by himself. As the 13th overall pick in the first round, this kind of thing must be news in Syracuse, but Kevin Pu

Litcha didn't see any relevant information at all.

Regarding Liu Xiu's technical and basic skills, Kevin Plitchar didn't have much expectations.

If you are so lazy, what progress can you make?

But soon, Kevin Plitt looked at Liu Xiu's technique and basic skills and felt a snapping sound coming from his face.

Liu Xiu's technique and basic skills have improved significantly compared to the first test on July 5, half a month ago!

Coach Maurice Cheeks also came to watch Liu Xiu's test. Kevin Plitcha analyzed it and said to Maurice Cheeks: "Boss, Jayce's progress is probably due to the efforts of an average talented player."

The amount of progress you can make in two to three weeks of training.”

When Kevin Plett looked at it, this was simply unbelievable: "He is so lazy and doesn't even train, how can he make such great progress?"

Maurice Cheeks was not too surprised and responded: "The first information we got was that he didn't like training, but we don't know the specific situation.

I asked someone to do some research a few days ago. He was like this when he was in college. He never practiced. But since he joined the Orangemen, he has been improving. In one year, he has the highest draft expectation in the middle of the first round.

"

Kevin Pritchar's eyes almost popped out of his head, it was a bit unbelievable.

But looking at the current situation, this is the actual situation!

After digesting the news, Kevin Plitchar suddenly had an idea, and his mood turned into regret: "Boss, what a pity!"

Maurice Cheeks was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Yes, it's a pity. If he started playing basketball earlier, it might be his next big dream... But if that happens, we won't be able to select him."

Having said that, Kevin Plitchar still feels regretful.

Maurice Cheeks shook his head helplessly when he saw this. This colleague was good at everything, but sometimes he would fall into this kind of thinking circle.

It's like getting 8 Jinx in a gold shovel, and the ninth one is spawned. As a result, the countdown has come and the fight has started. Before the three stars can be synthesized, the opponent is killed. You will be embarrassed, regretful, and entangled, but in the future

It'll be fine in a few days.

Maurice Cheeks said: "Let him do the last test!"

This incident allowed Kevin Plitchar to refocus his attention.

Although Liu Xiu's "real talent" is only now understood, Kevin Plitcha has already learned about Liu Xiu's speed in learning a skill before - Liu Xiu learned Randolph's post-up play.

Maurice Cheeks called a college student over, and Liu Xiu was also called together.

Evan Dixon, University of Utah Utah, 20 years old, 190 centimeters, 96 kilograms... Kevin Plitt checked the information of this temporary player. This was a college student they specially found to help Liu Xiu practice his back shooting.

This is a real large-tonnage guard, an NBA shooting guard, a small forward, and most of them only weigh this much. Compared to Liu Xiu, he is a little puffy. This one has real muscles and tendons, and his flexibility, speed, etc. are very good...

That is, IQ, emotional intelligence, football intelligence, etc. are all not online.

Since we want to test Liu Xiu's post-up play and help Liu Xiu train, we definitely can't find a regular point guard.

If it is a regular point guard who is 180 to 190 centimeters and over 80 kilograms, Liu Xiu can just push it.

In addition to being heavier than most point guards, Liu Xiu is also stronger than most people of the same weight.

This is talent.

But defensive players should not be too tall. Height plays a great role in suppressing back attacks.

There are many requirements for sparring, but with the huge base of NCAA basketball players, there are so many players with super physical fitness, including players with outstanding physical conditions. If you search carefully, you can find all types, but most of them are

Like Alvin Dixon, he was "sentenced to death" early.

Alvin Dixon has a large tonnage, excellent athletic ability, and quick reactions...it just depends on his physical condition. He is a good material for preventing back hits.

In the past two days, Maurice Cheeks also specifically taught Alvin Dixon the skills of guarding against back hits. Not only has he learned it, but he can also put on a good posture.

From the perspective of Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitt, that should be enough.

Although Liu Xiu learned Randolph's back-up moves, during the Orlando Summer League, he basically relied on his weight and strength to beat the ball. He only did a good job of protecting the ball and finding opportunities to take shots when he was biting.

At Kevin Plitcha's signal, Liu Xiu and Evan Dixon moved their bodies again and came to the left side of the three-second zone on the court. Liu Xiu leaned on Evan Dixon with his back, and Kevin -

Plitcha blew the whistle and sent the ball to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu received the ball, took a step forward, but couldn't push it. He patted the ball and grabbed it, then turned left with his left foot. Alvin Dixon moved half a step to the left. Liu Xiu did not turn completely, but just turned sideways.

He raised his body and immediately turned to the right. Alvin Dixon reacted very quickly, kicked his left foot on the floor, and returned to the original defensive position... But!

Liu Xiu just turned his upper body to the right! That is, he just held the ball with both hands, his shoulders turned to the right, and his waist and lower limbs were still facing the basket!

Alvin Dixon jumped back to his original position to the right. Liu Xiu moved his foot, using his left foot as a pivot. He stepped over to the right side of the three-second zone with his right foot, turned around, and made a layup...hit!

Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Plitt looked at it with their necks stretched forward!

Liu Xiuneng hit Alvin Dixon on the head with his back to score, which was not surprising to the two of them.

But this is too easy!

The two of them saw that Liu Xiu's left turn, fake right turn, and turn across speed were very agile, showing his flexibility.
To be continued...
