Chapter 23 23. Next, the team will focus on cultivating you (5200 words for tickets)
Orlando TD Waterhouse Center Gym.
On the court, James and Boozer of the Cavaliers were replaced, and others played; the three main players of the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu, Randolph, and Quintel-Woods were all replaced, and others played.
The Cavaliers also have Dajuan Wagner on the court. The fans at the scene have a certain understanding of this prospective second-year player who performed quite well in the rookie season last season, and they are looking forward to him being able to shine like last year's summer league.
But no... Dajuan Wagner doesn't seem to be very good at playing lately...
But it's not important. What fans really care about is the previous game. Now it's obviously garbage time. If there is a shocking turnaround, of course it's fine. It doesn't matter. The previous game was exciting enough. It's not easy. If the last few minutes enter garbage time, it just gives some fans time to leave early.
In this game, there are more than 10,000 people in the TD Water House Center Gymnasium, and there will definitely be traffic jams for a while.
There are also a good number of fans who stay on the scene to watch the summer league, and there is a fun thing - predicting who will be the future superstar.
This kind of thing, hard to say, depends on luck, there are many high-ranked parallel imports in NBA history, and there are also many super-low-ranked superstars.
I ran to watch the game in the afternoon, most people must be free, and it is also good to stay and chat with friends.
The mentality of the people watching the ball is different, and the mentality of the players on the court is also different.
Courtside, the Cavaliers bench.
LeBron James is so angry now, so regretful, he should trust his teammate Jason Kapono, don't get close to that guy...
But James is very curious, how did the guy on the opposite side who was sitting on the bench and drinking energy drinks used such a tone, such an expression, such an attitude, and said those words... but it was so maddening ?
James recalled every communication with Liu Xiu, not many times, but every time he was impressed.
Liu Xiu's tone is flat, encouraging, showing off, not caring, doubting... These tones are not bad, let alone bad.
The expression is a bit 'arrogant', but it's not domineering, domineering, or surly... It's just lazy, which makes people feel proud, but after a calm review, I find that it's not that annoying.
Thinking of this, James has to admit that the little guy is really handsome...
Yes, the other party is older than him, he recognized it.
Other peers, even those two or three years older than Liu Xiu, find it difficult to be so calm, but James can... In terms of communication, James is often very calm.
And what Liu Xiu said, there was basically no swearing, and he was always telling the truth.
However, all things combined, James was almost angry just now...turned and walked away.
fortunately held back.
Don't say it, James thought back and thought that Liu Xiu was really awesome... When this idea came up, the final whistle sounded.
Man, you always have a fascination for something you don't have, no matter if that thing is good or not.
When the final whistle sounded, James' re-emergence of Liu Xiu's favor, quickly zoomed in!
didn't get to the point where he liked Liu Xiu very much. Now James still doesn't want to talk to Liu Xiu anymore. There is no one who can't coax him for ten days or eight days.
just said that James's negative emotions quickly eased.
At 4:27 p.m., after 1 hour and 27 minutes of the game, the Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers 111-94 and won the third victory of the Orlando Summer League!
Randolph had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Quintel Woods had 33 points, Travis Outlaw had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Boozer had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and James had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists…
Randolph's strong strength, James' unparalleled all-rounder, Boozer's comprehensive offensive methods, Quintel Woods and Travis Outlaw's excellent impact, Kapono's precise shooting... This game, There are many young talents who have shown their talent, that is, combat power.
This game, which was attended by more than 10,000 spectators, received a lot of attention. With the help of James, many reporters came to the scene.
Randolph and Quintel Woods had a rare opportunity to be interviewed after the game.
Of course, the one with the most reporters around is still No. 1 pick James.
Liu Xiu was interviewed by domestic reporters after the game, and no one was interested.
There are quite a few domestic reporters who come to the United States, but only one or two people can interview on the spot. Most of them can only visit the locker room after the game or conduct interviews the next day.
This is always the case after the lore in the first show. Liu Xiu is used to it. He is a little envious, but he is not entangled. Some things are there, and there is no way if they don't.
His style of play is simple, unattractive, and his stats are not outstanding, which is perfectly normal.
And he doesn't have the time to deal with this now. After being interviewed by domestic reporters, Liu Xiu immediately returned to the locker room, went to the toilet, found an empty compartment, closed the door, and turned on the system screen.
"The Tasks section is open.
Trigger object: LeBron James.
Task: A gift for the signing day.
Goal: The host needs to help the Blazers beat the Cavaliers.
Task Progress: Completed.
Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: Reverse Conqueror (BUFF). (Note: The first mission reward has been greatly increased.)”
Liu Xiu is a little excited, the task is completed!
Looking at the 'Note' prompt, Liu Xiu is very glad to have completed it. Although I don't know how much the 'substantial' improvement is, it doesn't matter. No matter how much he improves, he can get it, and he will lose if he doesn't get it. .
After reading the system prompt, the interface switches to the ‘talent’ section.
There's something new in the 'Talent' section - the 'BUFF' interface!
"Reverse Conqueror (BUFF):
1. When the host performs well on the court, it always inspires the opponent's competitiveness.
2. The host's excellent ability in all aspects of basketball on and off the court will always stimulate the opponent's challenging psychology and surpassing ideas.
(The specific effect depends on the character of the opponent.)”
‘…’
Looking at the introduction of this buff, Liu Xiu didn't know what to think.
James uses social skills, language skills... and uses all kinds of communication skills that his age should not have to pave the way for his conquest in the basketball world.
Liu Xiu looked at herself...it's really healing!
‘In a word, in a word, anyway, it probably means that others will be dissatisfied, right? ’
Liu Xiu doesn't know whether to be happy or sad now, this may make it easier for him to accumulate healing points...
‘It still doesn’t work. I only have the 13th pick in the draft, a well-known achievement…? The draft seems to be considered an achievement in the NBA's official career statistics...'
Liu Xiu is no longer tangled, her mentality has calmed down, and she returns to the main interface of the system to see the healing value prompt tonight.
During the game, teammates gave a total of 279 points, mainly from Tim Carter... As I watched, the healing value from Tim Carter increased by 19 points.
'The coaching staff in the previous three games have done a good job of handling the water. Although I played more time, the playing time of others was also very stable. Although the relationship became more and more tense, the overall situation was in a balanced state. This balance has been broken... Well, it doesn't matter, it seems that the team has been re-recruiting the roster for the Rocky Mountain Summer League later this month, and most of the current roster will leave...'
On the side of the opponent, the healing value given is not as much as that of his teammates.
There is not much intersection, and most of the opponents' attention tonight is not on him, but on Randolph, Quintel Woods, Travis Outlaw and other players who give people a very direct impact.
The one who provides the most healing value is James.
but…
'This guy is really enough, he only gave 49 points at most...'
…
…
"After tonight's game, I may have to try out again."
"The same is true for me. In the first 4 games, I only played 20 minutes in total, and I played in garbage time."
"This is life, but I don't want to give up!"
"Yes, yes, I will not give up, I believe that persistence will definitely pay off!"
“…”
“…”
On the morning of July 11, Liu Xiu stepped on the spot to the training ground before the pre-match meeting.
Today, the Blazers' game is still at 3 pm. After the game, the team will be disbanded.
As soon as Liu Xiu arrived, he saw a group of teammates who were about to hit the street talking about the future, self-encouragement and mutual encouragement.
In this regard, Liu Xiu was very moved and gave enthusiastic encouragement: "You have to work hard, there are thousands of roads, all roads lead to Rome, and you work hard... Only then can you realize that you really can't do it."
Liu Xiu's expression is still lazy, his tone is still gentle, and the previous words are quite inspiring. Suddenly, a turning point came, and several teammates directly scolded the street!
"I don't like you for a long time. Didn't you just get picked in the lottery? Why did the coaching staff give you so much preferential treatment... Why are you pulling me, Wendell..."
Tim Carter jumped up from the chair and wanted to hit someone, but Liu Xiu still had that lazy expression with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and was not affected, while Tim Carter was the same as 'thumping'. Street Group's Wendell Carey pulled.
"Tim, we are teammates, you can't... You will be killed by his legitimate defense if you rush up!"
Wendell Carey saw that he couldn't hold it anymore. He saw that although Liu Xiu's expression did not change much, he had already made a fighting stance and said it directly.
The words ' but ' and 'evil' made Tim Carter a little stunned, and stopped his jumping forward.
And what the **** is self-defense?
At this time, Liu Xiu's voice entered Tim Carter's ears - "Don't talk nonsense, how could I hit someone? I'm just ready to defend against the coming violation."
Tim Carter only noticed Liu Xiu's fighting stance at this time. He watched Liu Xiu put away his movements and turned to leave. Even if he didn't understand professional Sanda, his momentum changed at that moment... He could also feel that if he jumped up just now It may be immediately beaten by Liu Xiu.
"Wendel, you know this rookie before?"
"I play in New York. Before this year's Crazy Three, Syracuse University asked our team to be a sparring coach. When we played, we got angry. Our players have never played because of him...and it's us. Go first, he is justified in defense."
"..." Tim Carter heard this, although he didn't know the specific process, but combined with his own experience, he could guess what kind of self-defense law Liu Xiu was.
It was only at this time that he remembered that Liu Xiu came from New York, and he had heard Wendell Carey say before that Liu Xiu had a school gang background.
Players produced in New York, whether they are high school or college students, are a bit scary... Ron Artest is called a villain, but in fact compared to other New York players, Artest can be said to be a good baby, and he just fights That's it.
He can only be glad that Liu Xiu always chooses 'justifiable defense'?
…
'Earn, earn...'
Liu Xiu saw that the healing value increased by 249 points, and the healing value reached a record high of 6133 points. He was a little happy.
'The main thing is that I have been playing games every day these days, and I have training. The remaining physical strength for simulation training is not a lot, and the consumption is not large...'
The words just now, Liu Xiu knew that it offended people and almost caused a fight, but he was not afraid.
He has been observing these few days that Wendell Carey and Tim Carter have a good relationship and will definitely not watch Tim Carter court death.
Wendell Carey, Liu Xiu remembers that a player from a basketball club in New York was once a genius at New York University, but after leaving the university, he was not much better, and he was still in the professional basketball world, but that's all.
No accident, after the game this afternoon, the teammate relationship will end. Liu Xiu chooses to get some healing value as soon as he can. Whatever he has observed in the past few days, he can use everything that can be used, and it will be wasted when it expires.
'Unfortunately, after the healing value rose a lot, the mood soon turned into a pure desire to fight and vent...'
…
…
In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers ushered in the last game of the Orlando Summer League, and the opponent was the Bucks, who were at the bottom of the game without a single victory.
The Bucks are at the bottom of the summer league because they are an NBA playoff-level team. They can get the No. 8 pick to select TJ Ford, which was acquired by the Super League in the exchange of Ray Allen and Payton. The Sonics swapped first-round picks and traded their No. 14 pick for the Sonics' No. 8 pick.
The Bucks Summer League team, including the newly selected TJ Ford and Keith Bogans, has only 3 official NBA players.
During the competition, Liu Xiu felt what the 'fastest' man is, he is really fast!
But Liu Xiu also made TJ-Ford feel what is called a 'rogue'. As long as TJ-Ford defends Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu will go to the low post to play.
In this game, the atmosphere of the Blazers team was very bad. When Liu Xiu played with teammates who had a bad relationship, he would still pass the ball well, but some teammates would not... But the difference in strength is obvious. Quintel-Woods and Lan Dove still played very well tonight. The two scored 47 points together, leading the Trail Blazers to beat the Bucks 104-88, improving the record to 4-1 and ending the Orlando Summer League.
Liu Xiu's data is still not outstanding, with 15 points and 3 assists. The score depends on luck, and the assists can only be said to be barely qualified.
But Liu Xiu feels that the coaching staff is satisfied with his performance, because this is what he is good at, stability, outstanding offensive ability in tactics, and strong execution.
At 8:31 p.m., the last game of this Orlando Summer League, the Magic, which always played at night, unexpectedly defeated the Heat 92-77, winning all 5 games and winning the Orlando this year. Summer League Champions.
In the last game, all the other 4 teams came to the scene to watch the game. The summer league also has bonuses, although not many, but the last team also has.
Liu Xiu calculated it when he had nothing to do. There was a total of 100,000 US dollars in bonuses. If a team's staff and players are counted as 30 people, even if it is a Bucks team that has lost all six games, everyone can get an equal share. $100 bonus.
For coaches, trainers and other staff, it is extra income; for players who play in the summer league without wages, it is a subsidy.
This is calculated by Liu Xiu based on the 'equalization' method and personnel of their Blazers. Maybe some teams will give all the money to the players, but their Blazers are divided equally by all the staff.
After the Magic beat the Heat, the general manager of the organizer Magic announced the results of the game and presented trophies and bonus checks.
The Magic with 5 wins and 0 losses won the championship trophy and a check of $50,000; the Trail Blazers with 4 wins and 1 losses won the runner-up and $30,000 in bonuses; the Cavaliers with 3 wins and 2 losses won the third place, 1 Million Dollar Bonus.
is about to get a small sum of money, thousands of beautiful knives, Liu Xiu is still very happy.
Next to Randolph, when he was watching the game at night, he started chattering. After the award was over, Liu Xiu received the system prompt that the summer league team was disbanded and was no longer a 'same competitive team'. Randolph was still repeating. The babble of those words.
uses different words, but that’s what it means.
"Jace, Summer League is different from NBA, it's not at the same level..."
"Jess, I know you like to bully people, but be careful when you bully people, not everyone can bully."
"If you really fight, you have to run early if you can't fight, you have to be careful if you can fight, and you have to use your hands directly and ruthlessly. You can't have a playful mentality about fighting..."
At first, Liu Xiu just smiled and nodded, agreed, and also chatted a few things about this.
Now, Liu Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Zach, what's wrong with you today? Suddenly become so emotional?"
You are only asking now! Wouldn't it be better to ask earlier? Randolph snorted for a moment and said, "The coach asked me to say something during dinner."
"Yep."
"They said that I don't have to participate in the next Rocky Mountain Summer League, and I can officially take a vacation. The level of my strength in the Summer League can no longer be improved."
"Ah... I'm so envious."
“…”
Randolph wants to hit someone, is that what he meant? This kid doesn't know how to contact the context? Reading comprehension so bad?
However, it is rare to have such a confidant, Randolph endured it!
"The coach said that the next Rocky Mountain Summer League will mainly develop you."
"Oh... eh? What? Zach, you said the coach won't let you play in the next summer league, the team mainly trains me?"
"Did you listen to me?"
"Ah, sorry, I just lost my mind."
“…”
Liu Xiu was good at asking questions at first, but suddenly a system prompt came, just when the general manager of the Magic announced a lot of nonsense after announcing the end of the current Orlando Summer League.
"The 2003 Orlando NBA Summer League is over. During the liquidation of the competition, it will be liquidated according to the host's participation in games, individual performance, team record..."
