Healing Basketball

Chapter 19: The bad guys are getting old (please collect)

Chapter 19 19. The bad guys are getting old (please collect)

In today's game, in the eyes of others, Liu Xiu's sloppy appearance seems to be indifferent, and some people think that he is well-informed.

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

Then Liu Xiu was always full of fighting spirit in the game. He played well and made persistent efforts. He didn't get discouraged and tried hard to find a way when he played badly. In such a level of competition, it seemed that it was not difficult to get him.

But in fact, he has tried his best.

'Pro basketball is very different from college basketball. Centers like Ruben Bontje and Lauren Woods are definitely very good centers in college, but in summer league, they are just ordinary players. , You can't even hit the NBA ball. ’

Liu Xiu felt a little embarrassed at the thought.

He hadn't noticed one thing before - the losers who were looking for jobs in the summer league and might not be able to find jobs, and the former rookies who were abandoned were all the best in the university!

Regardless of tacit understanding or teamwork, and only looking at individual ability, the summer league can abuse the NCAA basketball tournament to a great extent.

In college, it was good to have one or two opponents like Kirk Perry and Lauren Woods in a game.

Leaving college and coming to summer league, just summer league, players like Kirk Perry and Lauren Woods are actually one of the weakest opponents…

After all, in March Madness alone, there are more than 60 teams, hundreds of schools in the first-level league, and only dozens of them enter the NBA every year. The possibility of entering the NBA.

As for his 'lazy' on the court at all times, it is actually limited to his expressions and some small body movements that have nothing to do with the game.

He will never tell others that he has deliberately practiced these expressions and small movements.

'Oh, now that you're in the NBA, you have to accept this. ’

'Playing one more year in college will definitely make it easier to start in the NBA; but system upgrades will come later... each has its own benefits. ’

'Rookie season goal - get consistent playing time and a place on my team! ’

Being lazy is also beneficial. After Liu Xiudan hurt a bit, he chose to accept it.

One thought, the system prompt came.

"Please set the simulation training goals and time for the host, and the simulation training will be carried out in accordance with the set order. When the remaining physical strength is exhausted..."

He has already understood the point that the coaching staff is interested in him, that is, he cannot sell too much combat power, so he will sell 'talent'!

Therefore, he chose post-up singles simulation training.

Simulation training time, of course it is hard.

Before falling into a deep sleep, Liu Xiu thought - 'I thought I was a hard-working player. I worked hard every day to restrain my urge to train, save my physical strength for simulated training, and ended up in the NBA and became a talented player...'

…

The three groups of summer leagues in early and mid-July have kicked off.

Liu Xiu saw from the news that almost 350 athletes participated in the first wave of three groups of summer leagues. Among them, there were 106 players selected this year and undrafted rookies, less than half of this year's rookies.

This number, Liu Xiu can't help but sigh. In fact, he is already the top amateur basketball player in the United States, and he is a young talent in his twenties.

As a result, more than half of the people did not even have a chance to enter the summer league.

But just sigh, the daily feeling is spent in tears, there is no more.

The Orlando Summer League has kicked off, one game a day, 5 days in a row, the game is over, and the ranking is based on the number of wins.

After all, it is a new summer league. It is not as perfect as the Las Vegas Summer League. Sometimes there are more than 20 teams participating in the Las Vegas Summer League.

On July 8, the second game day, the Blazers ushered in a game against the host Magic.

Seeing the Magic's jersey at this stage, Liu Xiu thought of the edited interview clip that had been popular for a long time - 'I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round'.

This sentence is correct from McGrady, but there is still a half sentence before it - 'If it was last season'.

The background is that when McGrady led the Magic to face the Pistons, the No. 1 team in the East, in the first round, they led by a big score of 3 to 1. Just in time, the best of 7 innings in the first round is the start of this playoff.

It’s so good to die. After McGrady said this, the Pistons won three straight games and made a 4-3 super reversal.

The Magic draft is also very sad, but they selected the player they wanted-Reece Gaines, a tall shooting guard with a height of 198 cm and a weight of 93 kg, the draft template is very interesting-Kobe Bryant.

As a result, after the draft, before the free market 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, the summer league could not be played.

The first few draft picks, even if the rookie season is directly reimbursed, each team will be patient, but in the middle of the first round, the rookies in this range are generally the rookies of the "bet on talent" type.

The rookies in this range have a certain amount of talent, but they are not high enough to be recognized, that is, their combat power is usually not very high.

This type of rookie was injured as soon as he was selected. He couldn't play in the summer league in his rookie season, and his future was overshadowed...

The Magic doesn't have any great young players in the summer league this year. There is only one player who has a contract, the 2002 second-round draft power forward, Robert Archibald.

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

The other dozen players are all G 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 Blazers were hanged by the host Magic and lost the second game.

Summer league is actually not all about players who get contracts. As more and more summer leagues are held, a group of 'old bastards' are added.

There will always be a group of players whose strength and talent are not up to the level of the NBA. They are in the D-League or the lower-level leagues. They are very familiar with each other, and they have a tacit understanding of playing together and playing dam and dam. Maybe some first-class NBA stars will not be able to get good things when they meet them.

Every year, there are always a few teams that don’t have good young players to play in the summer league, but they have to play. No matter what, they have to try and see if they can dig a lot. In order to ensure that the lineup has a certain competitiveness in the summer league, they will sign those players. 'Old bastard'.

This is the first time that Liu Xiu has encountered such a thing. When he heard Randolph say this, his knowledge of basketball has been expanded.

He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, this is the fuller and more normal basketball world.

In this game against the Magic, Liu Xiu played 26 minutes and scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers. The performance was not bad, and there were a few more mistakes, but most of them were not his problems.

His style of play is very stable!

He knows what he has to show, on a solid basis, showing 'talent'.

Unfortunately, he didn't get any oil and water from the Magic team. After the whole game, he only got 71 healing points, and the basic healing value of the game only got 50 points.

…

On July 9th, the third game day of the 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 themselves have not had any high-quality young players these years.

The problem still lies with the Timberwolves themselves. The yin-yang contract of Joe Smith made the Timberwolves deprived of their first-round draft picks from 2001 to 2005!

When many media reported the punishment suffered by the Timberwolves, they were not so accurate. They said that the league deducted the Timberwolves' first-round picks in the past five years. In fact, the league deprived the Timberwolves of the first round of the five years. Round draft eligibility, the Timberwolves can't even get the 5-year first-round pick through a trade to select their favorite rookie.

So in the past few years, Garnett has gradually entered the peak period, but the Timberwolves have been particularly difficult, because they directly lack a way to strengthen than other teams.

Before this year's draft lottery, the league returned the 2003 and 2005 draft qualifications to the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves had a record of 51 wins and 31 losses last season, fourth in the league and only the 26th overall pick. Power forward Endi-Iby.

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

If it weren't for the height difference, Liu Xiuzhen would like to sit on the inside and beat this same-year power forward.

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

Liu Xiu rushed to the basket tonight to open the opponent's inside layup and scored 10 points in total...

This time, the Blazers performed brutally, slaughtering the Timberwolves 116 to 79 with more than 30 points.

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

In this game, Liu Xiu's conventional healing value was still not much, 85 points, but he won the game and performed very well. Although it was not as influential as the game with the Heat, Quintel-Woods took advantage of it. The opponent's basket guard was not good enough to get 30 points and was the best in the game, but Liu Xiu's performance was already very good, and he got an A- rating and 150 healing points.

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

A game with 235 healing points is enough to simulate training when the stamina is 'full' in a lazy day. When there are games every day, you can only simulate training for a few hours, even if it is a back fight that consumes a lot of healing points. Three days of training are enough.

Tonight was interviewed by Quintel Woods, Liu Xiu and other domestic reporters in the locker room.

was about to leave when a tall man appeared in front of Liu Xiu.

Future Lakers legend LeBron James!

James took the initiative to come to Liu Xiu and said hello: "Jess, hello, you did a great job today, I really hope that tomorrow will come immediately, we can fight earlier."

This way of saying hello is something that James has repeatedly thought about, 'Nestumite's, which is relatively formal.

directly complimented from the back, and seemed not so polite, trying to pull in the relationship.

James has watched Liu Xiu's two games. He thinks Liu Xiu's strength...is average, but Liu Xiu's style of play, James thinks, fits him inexplicably.

Does not need too much ball power, is willing to run, has a very good ability to cut into the ball and attack the frame, pass the ball accurately, and throw decisively when receiving the pot...

The future is hard to say, anyway, Liu Xiu has become one of James' targets.

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

I didn't quarrel that time, didn't I?

It’s just that there are some ‘hurdles’ that cannot be overcome.

Liu Xiu raised his neck and looked at James with a puzzled face, and said, "Your Cavaliers are very weak, but I didn't expect you to actually want to play against us when we are tired from just playing a game.

Are all older people so conscientious?

No no no, I don't think the old man has changed, but the bad guy has grown old..."
