"Wow! Live Yao Ming!"

"..."

At around 4 p.m., Yao Ming was speechless at the door of a modest villa in the suburbs of Houston.

The Chinese defender's eyes were shining with excitement, which really impressed Yao Ming.

But what I said...

Even if he gained some understanding of Liu Xiu from Bill Duffy and gained some psychological construction, Yao Ming still didn't know how to answer what Liu Xiu said!

"Sorry, sorry," Liu Xiu, who was overly excited, came to his senses and apologized quickly, "Hello, Brother Yao, my name is Liu Xiu, and my English name is Jies."

Brother Yao!

Yao Ming likes this title. To Wang Zhizhi, he is just Xiao Ming...

Bill Duffy’s assessment of Liu Xiu was polite, right on target!

"What's your name, Brother Yao? Just call me Dayao. I'll call you Jace."

"Okay Brother Yao."

"Hey, you are so...come on, come in and sit down." Yao Ming happily greeted Liu Xiu to come in.

"By the way, Brother Yao, this is a gift."

"Come just come, why don't you give me a gift..."

He said this, but Yao Ming took the gift smoothly (*^▽^*).

It’s this familiar rush, a Chinese characteristic! Liu Xiu followed Yao Ming into the living room and felt quite good.

My uncle's and aunt's home is my own home. I don't have this feeling of being a "guest", which I only get when I go to Yao Ming's home.

Entering the living room, Yao Ming originally wanted to find a place to put the gifts, but he took a glance and saw inside the gift bag... an arm guard?

Yao Ming curiously took out the basketball equipment and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Jace, these arm guards are so beautiful!"

"As long as you like it. Your center is strong in confrontation. If you wear it on your non-dominant hand, it can play a certain buffering role during confrontation..."

Liu Xiu asked about the system. In addition to increasing confidence and gradually increasing domineering, this arm guard is just an ordinary arm guard.

"You are still thoughtful..." Yao Ming said and put it on. It was the right size and comfortable to wear!

Yao Ming was sure that Liu Xiu did not buy it and did not want to give it as a gift.

Don't ask, just ask if you received such a gift after arriving in the United States.

…

Although it is very tacky, sending small gifts is definitely a good way to bring people closer together.

Liu Xiu was a guest at Yao Ming's house, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

The two chatted about some things related to the game and learned about each other's basketball experiences.

Although Liu Xiu has a bad reputation, Yao Ming knows that this is not the case.

Here in the United States, for a team like the Trail Blazers, if Liu Xiu didn't do these things and didn't have such a reputation, he would definitely be bullied.

As he expected, Liu Xiu, who he really knew, except for mentioning basketball matters, was too much...

In other aspects, everything is good, good-looking, polite, honest...

After having dinner at a nearby family restaurant in the evening, Yao Ming drove Liu Xiu back to the hotel.

Of course, you don’t drink while driving.

When they first met with Yao Ming, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming only talked about their basketball experiences. This was the only thing they could talk about. They had just met.

…

…

On November 30th, the Trail Blazers’ third game day of four consecutive away games arrived.

At 9:30 in the morning, the Trail Blazers held a very targeted training session at Toyota Center.

Today and tomorrow, we will play the Rockets and Spurs back to back.

The coaching staff has a choice. They must win against the Rockets. If they can win against the Spurs, they will fight hard. If they cannot win, they will be defeated.

Also, starting from the hotel this morning, there were cameras filming for tonight's game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets. Paying attention to this game may help Liu Xiu with something... Coaching is a job

, but coaches and players are worldly people.

After the morning training and technical session, Kevin Plitchar did not leave.

Whenever the preparation training on the training day is over, Kevin Plitchar is secretly observing their rookies... they!

It's you! Not a certain person.

'This kid really didn't leave...Eh? He didn't go to the gym!'

Kevin Plitchar pretended to flip through the information and approached Liu Xiu and Randolph on the training ground, his ears almost stood up.

"...I'll show you!"

Kevin Plitchar only heard this sentence, and then saw Liu Xiu dribbling with his back in the low post... turning over and shooting a jumper!

The movements are slow and not very smooth, but as a professional coach, Kevin Pritchar can feel the connection between each movement, which is very suitable for Liu Xiu!

But when was it developed?

Randolph, as a post-up genius, also noticed it, and asked Kevin Pritchar what he wanted to ask: "Jess, have you mastered the transition jump shot?"

"That's right! Do you want to learn? I'll teach you and I won't charge you any money."

"Is this a question of whether to charge for money or not? I taught you the post-up game! This summer I was thinking of ways to expand the post-up game. I found three trainers to work with me to find a way, but they haven't even mastered the turn-over jump shot yet.

Get it done...when did you get it done?"

"Just these two days."

If Randolph is about to burst, I will be the teacher first!

Liu Xiu looked at the dying Randolph indifferently and asked, "Do you want to learn?"

"Learn...but it may not be suitable for me."

"Try it without losing any pieces of meat."

"That's right, then try it!"

Just after training, the two moved their joints and started practicing directly.

"Zach, when we exert force like this, our strength is usually stronger than our opponents, so we don't have to worry about the space for taking off. We can definitely break out of the space. When we turn around, our bodies will be like this..."

Liu Xiu demonstrated again, moving more slowly, dismantling each movement one by one.

After Randolph read it over, he followed Liu Xiu's movements and tried it... He was thinking about the things that didn't feel smooth when he turned over and jumped, but it went so smoothly!

There are definitely some details that need to be adjusted, but this is not the point. The point is that one of the difficulties in expanding his back attack has been solved!

When it comes to practicing skills, you can reach a certain level by practicing hard, but reaching a higher level that can satisfy a genius like Randolph is really not something you can do just by practicing hard.

Randolph was surprised, Kevin Pritchar was surprised + confused + angry + unhappy + happy + self-pity +...

"Healing value +67, from Kevin Plitchar."

"Healing value +42, from Kevin Plitchar."

"cure……"

"..."

‘?’

Liu Xiu turned around and looked at Mr. Chief Assistant, the onlooker who had received all the information. What happened to this guy?

…

As Kevin Pritchar expected, he taught Randolph two back-up shots in the morning, then called the trainer in charge of inside skills and asked the cameraman from the imperial court to help shoot... After lunch, Liu Xiu went

I spent two hours in the gym...then slept for an hour at 3:30, got up, ate something, and warmed up...I didn't practice any more low post turnaround jump shots.

If you have time to practice boxing, wouldn't it be better to practice your technique more?

Also, the cameras of your country’s TV station are filming!

The warden didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and the chief assistant teacher's anxiety was of no use at all.

Not to mention, even the people at the TV station felt that Liu Xiu was not doing his job properly, but he was only responsible for filming.

Moreover, people at the imperial court heard a rumor these days that Liu Xiu could make faster progress than others by practicing casually, so he was very lazy.

In this way, the people on the TV station expressed their regrets and turned into "I'm sorry."

Liu Xiu didn't care so much. He got up at 4:30, ate a strawberry-flavored candied haws, and started to warm up at 5 o'clock.

At first, he thought about showing off how hard he worked in front of the court camera, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. What he could do for a day or two, or a year or two, what about ten or eight years?

It's better to leave it like this.
