Healing Basketball

   Chapter 39 39. New season collection! (4000 words)

   "Brother, why haven't you got up yet?

  Is it possible? Qing'er's meal is ready and things are packed, you are still lying on the bed, am I a brother or you are a brother! "

   "I woke up... I just wanted to squint for a while. Don't you have to get up so early for the nanny to make breakfast?"

   "Miss nanny is very nice, but did I cook delicious breakfast she made?"

"No."

   "Huh, then why don't I get up early..."

  Liu Xiu got up and took a shower, and came to the dining room. The porridge, fried eggs, milk, pancakes, fried vegetables...were quite rich.

   Class starts at 9 o'clock. If you change children, you may also get up early at 6 o'clock. In the private elementary school that Qing'er is studying, each and every one of them is the king of scrolls.

  The American education, the happy education of the poor, and the involution of the children of the rich are no less than that of the future Chinese families.

   But the reason why Qing'er got up early was to make breakfast... Liu Xiu teased: "I don't know who my baby sister will be cheaper in the future. She is beautiful, gentle, and her cooking skills are so good."

   "Brother will be flattering..." Qing'er seemed to have an invisible tail rising to the sky behind her.

   smugly, Qing Er thought of one thing and said, "Brother, you have worked hard for a few days before, why did you start to get lazy again, and went to practice boxing again, you are a basketball player!"

   "Did you collect the money?"

"No!"

   "Then what did you charge?"

   "How can I get anything... Your coach gave me a limited edition children's excavator!"

  “…”

After Liu Xiu began to practice boxing, the chief assistant Kevin Prittcha visited their house and learned about his current situation. Regarding the supervision of training, his left ear went in and his right went out... But the other party seemed to refuse to give up. Run to buy the little loli.

  Qing'er was also very puzzled: "Brother, I feel like you prefer boxing?"

   "Not really, I prefer to play games on the court, not fights, I'm a pacifist."

   "Then why do you practice boxing every day, brother?"

   Good, the topic is back!

   Liu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "This is trying to find a way to earn a dowry for Qing'er!"

   "Dowry?"

   "Yes! The NBA is so dangerous, and the Blazers have so many criminals. If I don't know how to fight and get beaten by them, I won't be able to get along in the NBA, and I won't have many excavators as dowry in the future!"

   Lots of excavators!

  Qinger's mind came up with the grand occasion of a row of excavators behind him—the kind of really huge excavators!

  Qing'er's mouth opened, she fantasized about it for a while, then slapped her hands and said, "Brother, come on, practice! Whoever bullies you will kill them!"

   "You can't kill me, my brother is a law-abiding foreigner."

   "Oh...yes, my mother said that my brother never hits anyone, but fights back in self-defense..."

  …

   "Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

   Age: 21 (February 17, 1982)

  Height: 188cm, Weight: 95kg.

   Team: Portland Trail Blazers.

  Achievements: No NBA achievements yet.

  Data: There is no NBA data.

   Once belonged to the team…

  NBA comprehensive ability evaluation: 70 (to be updated).

  The detailed ability evaluation will be updated on October 8th. It is known that the strength evaluation is calculated according to the NBA standard of the 2002-2003 season: 90…

  Available healing value: 1003…”

   Portland Carter Carbo College... Actually, it is the gate of a small private school. Liu Xiu took Qing'er into the school and looked at the main interface of the system.

  ‘The training camp is finally starting! After another three or four days, the healing value will not be enough. ’

  September 26th, today is the day the Blazers report.

   It's been over a month since I came to Portland, and the offseason is coming to an end.

   Actually, Qinger has a nanny who can send her to school, but if she is free, Liu Xiu prefers to send her by herself. Qinger is almost a month since the start of school. As long as Liu Xiu doesn’t have to get up early in the morning to practice strength and sanda, she will send it by herself.

  The official training camp time of the league is October 1st, but each team will be a few days earlier.

   There are some players like the Pistons that start gathering players in the middle of the month, and there are also the Trail Blazers that only stipulate the day to report on the 26th.

  From August 7th to now, less than 50 days have passed, Liu Xiu has also done a lot of things.

   The strength was raised to the level of 89 determined by the system, and then the item of 'strength +1 (training)' was used to increase the strength to 90.

   The 'wonderful' taste engraved into muscle memory, Liu Xiu doesn't want to feel it anymore... But if he has the opportunity to feel it, he feels that he can be abused.

  I thought that the strength part was done. The strength evaluation of 90, the height of 188 cm and the tonnage of about 95 kilograms, plus he was stronger than ordinary people... In a short time, it should be enough.

   And he clearly felt that his strength had improved to his level, unless he ignored the weight gain, it would be difficult to improve significantly by training alone.

   Therefore, what he planned was to ignore this for the time being after the power was raised to 90.

   But after using 'Strength +1 (Training)' to successfully raise the strength rating to 90, and after experiencing a wave of brutality engraved into muscle memory, the content of the previous training reminder did not disappear, but changed!

   turns into flexibility training!

   His original strength rating was 88, which is considered to be the top-ranking upper-class in the first-class strength, that is, the strength of 85-89. There is obviously a qualitative gap from the top-level strength of 90.

   This doesn't have that much impact on speed, but more on flexibility.

   And the props with physical attributes given by the system have the effect of maximizing the avoidance of affecting other physical conditions, and also have to complete the training task...

   Coincidentally, a very effective training for basketball players to maintain their flexibility is boxing.

   Therefore, in the past ten days, Liu Xiu spent another two weeks specializing in boxing.

   When the strength is increased from 88 to 89, the impact on flexibility is very small, but the increase from 89 to 90 has already crossed the stage. For a defender, the impact is still relatively large.

   At this time, Liu Xiu was fortunate that he chose this one that he only used when he was 89.

  I worked hard to train strength, improve physical fitness, and reduce the impact of flexibility caused by strength improvement... I worked so hard, but was misunderstood by the coach. The coach came to the door a few days ago to blame.

  Liu Xiu did not defend, the grievances and bitter tears could only be swallowed in the stomach.

  Man, you have to be able to carry it!

'These are not important, as long as I can complete the things arranged by the coaching staff well in the game, it doesn't matter what happens off the court... On the contrary, if I care too much about these things, if I can't complete the scheduled training, I can't do it or not. What's the use of making the coach satisfied when it's done? ’

   Looking back on the past period of time, Liu Xiu's thoughts are still firm.

   During this period of time, apart from improving strength and avoiding the impact of flexibility by completing systematic training tasks, other training that should be carried out has not fallen.

   One of the training items for post-up singles is to improve strength. Although Randolph 'only' had an excellent level of post-play during the summer league, his strength was definitely the top.

   Liu Xiu's power **** at the point guard position is certainly not as strong as Randolph's power **** at power forward.

   But Liu Xiu's strength is already very good, so in the training plan, strength training belongs to a fairly backward sequence, that is, his own strength is already very good, of course, if there is improvement, it will naturally be better.

  The two points of ball control and passing accuracy also benefited after the strength was improved.

   During this period of time, in addition to physical fitness, Liu Xiu's three aspects of back play, ball control, and passing accuracy have made considerable progress.

  Training is often based on the experience of predecessors.

   Having someone teach is important.

  Liu Xiu felt that his progress in ball control and passing was getting slower and slower before the draft. At first, he made progress after every simulated training. Now it is getting harder and harder to feel that kind of progress.

   Recently, Liu Xiu's back-beating simulation training also had this feeling.

  I can feel the progress almost every day for the first two months.

He estimates that this is not a matter of talent. He is not sure during the control training, but in the back-fighting training, the system judges that he has a high back-fighting talent, and he is sure to follow Randolph's back-fighting training. Good level... Slowing down now, it means that this training has almost reached its peak. The next step is to either improve the training method by yourself, or learn a better training method... Either way, it is worthwhile happy thing.

The system determined that he could reach the level of back play when Randolph taught him at the time. When the training effect stagnated and the speed of back play slowed down, it represented one thing—his back play was already at an excellent level. !

   It’s hard to say in actual combat, but the skills should be enough!

   Thanks to the slowdown in the progress of back fights, Liu Xiu has spent more time practicing boxing and basic shooting skills in recent days, focusing on the training of basic shooting skills.

   Unknowingly, an off-season has passed. On the way Liu Xiu left Qingernian's elementary school to go to the Rose Garden Arena, the most thought that popped up was that the time was too short, and the healing value was too insufficient.

  …

  …

   At 9 am on September 26, 2003, Liu Xiu came to the Rose Garden Arena.

  Liu Xiu came to his parking space under the guidance of the security guard. When he was parking, another car drove into the parking lot and parked the car well.

  Liu Xiu parked the car and got out of the car, thanked the security guard, and gave three $1 bills as a tip.

   Liu Xiu looked at the fat man who just got off the car...

   "Oh, Jess, what a coincidence, the first teammate I met when I came back was you!"

   "Zach, I didn't expect you to report. Didn't someone say you didn't go back to Portland yesterday?"

   "I didn't get off the plane until 9 o'clock last night. I didn't dare to miss the meeting arranged by Maurice Cheeks."

   "You're actually afraid of the coach?"

"Who am I afraid of?...Cough, not for this reason, Jess, in our team, you can offend anyone, you can deny the boss's face, and the big deal is to be traded, but what the coach arranges, just follow Do your best."

  Liu Xiu's rough style of painting came to mind.

   He is sloppy, lazy, a little wretched when he laughs too exaggeratedly, and speaks carelessly... He doesn't look like a good person, but...

   "Zach, does our head coach have any special background?"

   "Special background? No, no, at most he knows some people on the Tao like me, not really on the Tao."

  “?”

Seeing Liu Xiu puzzled, Randolph explained: "Jess, don't look at the coach, it seems very unreliable, but he is very tough when coaching, if he and the boss have different views on a player, he will not Go and listen to the boss how to arrange it.

   And when he uses players, he only looks at the performance, he only looks at the effect he plays in the game…”

  Liu Xiu originally thought that everything as head coach Maurice Cheeks was rough and sloppy, but after listening to Randolph's words, he had a new understanding...

  …

"I knew it…"

   Liu Xiu and Randolph chatted and walked slowly from the staff passage to the training ground.

When Liu Xiu saw Randolph, he was no longer in a hurry. Sure enough, when he walked slowly to the training ground, no teammates overtook them from behind. When they arrived at the training ground, they were away from the 10 o'clock meeting time stipulated by the coaching staff. There are still more than half an hour, but the training ground is already in full swing.

  The assistants and trainers are helping the team members to train, and the team members are all actively expressing themselves.

  No surprise, it has something to do with Randolph's way of coaching Maurice Cheeks, who only looks at performance.

This summer, the Trail Blazers had many players replaced. Pippen's contract expired and he returned to the Bulls. Sabonis and Chris Dudley, two nearly 40-year-old veterans, retired, Bonzi Wells was traded, and Charles - Smith was fired...

   Now in the training ground, there are 20 regular players + training camp contract players, and the number of training camps is standard.

  The Trail Blazers have a lot of new players this year, but an example like Liu Xiu who came into the offseason like a Maverick...only one.

The two rookies, Travis Outlaw and Matt Carroll, trained at the Rose Garden Arena early. The other new arrivals, whether they are regular contract players or training camp contract players, are not rookies. Have a certain social experience, very active to understand the affairs of the new team.

   Randolph is something that a villain player attaches great importance to, and it must be easy to understand.

   As soon as Liu Xiu and Randolph entered the training ground, they attracted the attention of their teammates, and most of them looked at them for the first time.

  Travis Outlaw, Matt Carroll, and Ruben Bontje put down their training and greeted them.

   "Jess, you're too late, we've both been training for over an hour." Travis Outlaw is really complaining this time, but he's the one who cares.

   However, as soon as Travis Outlaw said the words, he regretted it... He saw the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised!

   "What's the use of coming early? Can you get the attention of the team if you come early? Can you become stronger? Can you become the main force? Everything has to rely on the usual accumulation."

   Travis Outlaw heard that his whole person was not feeling well, and roared: "You seem to be working very hard usually! Have you practiced basketball this summer? Is there a day you can call it hard work?"

Today is just one chapter, and I have a low fever. Fortunately, I did nucleic acid two days ago, and there is no infection. It should be caused by the change of seasons. I took the medicine in the evening and my head was drowsy and wanted to sleep. Today, I will have another chapter. I took a bath and fell asleep. , continue tomorrow, good night~
