I am the Warden Chapter 2: True - Great Magician!
The comprehensive ability evaluation is only 70 at present, but Liu Xiu does not feel much urgency and just takes it slow.
First of all, don’t think about how strong your overall strength is. You must first have an advantage in the NBA.
Strength is an aspect that has the potential to become an advantage.
For example, not only is his tonnage greater than most players of the same height, his strength is also greater than any player of the same weight he has seen, and his flexibility is top-notch.
This is an advantage that he absolutely does not want to lose.
The unexpected completion of the hidden mission and the receipt of some rewards had no impact on Liu Xiu's current preparations.
After using the random attribute point card, there were only 5 lunch boxes left in the system space. Seeing the pain, Liu Xiu closed it.
Liu Xiu planned to use the remaining two draws before starting the simulation training and entering a deep sleep, just in case the lunch box was really a regular reward...
Liu Xiu's mind moved, and the system screen returned to the main interface.
Basic information, NBA ability evaluation to be updated, healing value, learning mode, lottery, exchange, talent, and space.
Open "Exchange" and there is only one thing inside - a box lunch.
"500 for a lunch box? You're just robbing me!"
Liu Xiu decisively withdrew, as he still had 5 lunch boxes to eat, and he didn't know if he would be able to win a few more in the future.
There is one last section left to look at after upgrading - Talent.
This Liu Xiu stayed until the end.
A little excited, Liu Xiu opened the talent section.
There are two options: "Talent" and "BUFF".
I looked at the "BUFF", and it was the "Reverse Conqueror" with an unpredictable effect.
After exiting, Liu Xiu opened the talent section.
There is only one thing - "the great magician".
However, this time there is no suffix "incomplete" after "The Great Magician"!
"Great Magician:
Basics: You can copy the best skills of three designated team members as talents and gain bonuses during training.
When the conditions are met, the fast learning mode can be started.
Note: 1. If the copied object's best technical ability is inferior to that of the host, the copied talent will be considered invalid.
2. The specific effects of fast learning mode, bonus efficiency and other aspects are affected by the strength of the copied object, the strength of the copied object's technical strength, and the host's own technical suitability.
3. The technical prowess of the object being copied is not equivalent to the ability to train that technology.
Copied object 1: Zach Randolph, copied talent: Zach Randolph is best at technical post-up singles.
Copied object 2: None.
Copied object 3: None.
Competition: At the beginning of the game, the host can select an opponent and a teammate, and the system will convert a technology-related skill or feature-related BUFF based on the technology or feature they are best at.
Note: The effects of skills and BUFFs depend on the strength of the designated target. If the designated target's best skill is weaker than the host, there will be no bonus effect. "
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shouted "Fuck!"
"Three training talents!"
Liu Xiu thought that after copying Randolph's back-to-the-basket talent, the improvement speed would be amazing!
For other players, even if they are geniuses, it would be great if they can practice back-to-the-basket skills to a standard in one summer.
And he, with the addition of many aspects, was just learning when the Orlando Summer League started, and was close to the qualified level when the Orlando Summer League ended. Now he is almost crossing the line from qualified to good.
'If you want to doze off, just use the pillow... My playing style is steady, but it's actually because my basic skills are too poor. It's been almost a year, and I've only practiced those few necessary techniques to a decent level.
Now in the NBA, the intensity of those techniques has definitely declined, and the overall level has improved.
Just like strength, in the Rocky Mountain Summer League, my strength was over 90, but at the NBA level, it was only 88.
Fat Lan still needs to continue practicing his back-to-the-basket skills until he reaches an excellent level of over 80.
As for the other two... you have to be steady! You have to master the two basic skills of ball control and passing, and learn from experts who are good at these two areas! '
Liu Xiuchang was thinking, and suddenly remembered something - "Teammate! It must be a teammate... In my opinion, being selected by the Trail Blazers is a blessing in disguise!"
"Wait, I remember that in the fast learning mode, you have to copy the object and teach it wholeheartedly without too much reservation. And if you don't actively improve the training methods learned in the fast learning mode, at most you can practice to the level of the fast learning mode... Being able to improve the details of training is also a talent."
"Does this mean that I really have a talent for post-up play?"
"Let me see. Post-up ability and training ability are not equal. In other words, Fatty Lan not only has strong post-up talent and ability, but also strong training ability... No wonder he has ."
"Eh? Speaking of which, my post-up play is based on the route that Fatty Lan has already developed, and I train on the basis of minor adjustments to the details. Will there be a day when my post-up play is better than his?"
"I really want to see his expression..."
Liu Xiu thought about the Trail Blazers' lineup, his own situation, and so on.
Even though my mind is extremely clear and my thinking is very sharp in this space, I still feel like there are a lot of things to do.
Besides, there’s no point in thinking about it for now, so just stop thinking about it.
Being a lazy person still has its advantages. If you say you won’t worry about anything, then you won’t worry about anything.
Liu Xiu has already arranged a training plan for the simulated training - half an hour of passing, half an hour of shooting, and all the remaining energy is used for back-to-the-basket practice.
Simply and crudely, continue to strengthen the basic skills that you are best at, make the basic skills that you are best at reach an excellent level in the NBA, and develop your advantages.
As he was about to enter the training mode, Liu Xiu opened the lottery section with mixed feelings.
The number of available draws displayed next to the "Draw Button" is 2.
"Go ahead and draw. Just draw with your eyes closed. It's just an unexpected draw anyway..."
Liu Xiu's mind moved, and the system conducted two draws...
"Damn! Start the simulation training!"
Liu Xiu chose to sleep.
In the system space, the number behind "lunch box" suddenly became 15.
…
…
At noon on August 8, Liu Xiu returned to his uncle's house in Xuecheng with bags of gifts.
This time there was no scattered flowers. My uncle, whose working hours and location are unstable, happened to be on vacation. My aunt had just finished a design order. It was the hottest time of the year, so after working on this order, my aunt chose to take a vacation and use her annual leave.
Actually, in the summer in Snow City, you can only try to wear short sleeves at noon, there is no such thing as summer heat...
We enjoyed two days of family leisure time, going shopping, doing some yard work, and more.
Liu Xiu wanted to rest for a few more days.
The talent of "Great Magician" is fully enabled, and three talents can be copied, but Liu Xiu does not have that need for the time being.
You can’t become fat in one breath. The daily simulation training time is limited. The current training focus is on back-to-the-basket shooting...mainly because there is no "replicable object".
So at this stage Liu Xiu didn't want to think about anything else and just wanted to have a good rest for a while.
But that idea was shattered.
"What? You want to go to Portland with me?" Liu Xiu felt terrible.
This loli disturbed his vacation!
Qing'er nodded: "Yes, report next Friday. The private elementary school starts a week earlier than other schools and has an entrance exam."
"You are the only one who can get into a private elementary school?" Liu Xiu decisively started to attack, even though he didn't know his sister's academic performance...
What the hell, going to play in the NBA and bringing an elementary school sister with him?
Where should I put this face?
"I went to a private elementary school!" The little girl was angry! She felt that her unlucky brother didn't care about her academic performance at all!
"Yeah?"
"certainly!"
"Then let me test you."
"Okay! Come on!"
Liu Xiu thought about it and decided not to discourage the little Loli sister who was good at both housework and cooking. He asked a simple question: "What is 5+8?"
"..." Qing'er counted her fingers, but it didn't seem enough, so she replied, "I don't know."
"Uh..." Liu Xiu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after organizing his words, he asked again: "Let me ask it another way. You have 5 lollipops, and your brother gives you 8 more. How many do you have in total?"
"..." Qing'er frowned and scratched her head, then suddenly she understood and said with her head tilted back, "I don't want it!"
"How can you not want it? Don't you like lollipops the most?"
"I have a cavity here. The doctor said I can't eat sweets anymore, otherwise my teeth will be rotten when I grow up and it will be ugly!" Qing'er grinned and pointed at the cavity, looking pitiful.
“……”Liu Xiu was speechless.
This love of beauty knows no age limit!
Liu Xiu and Qing'er talked about tooth decay, and about changing teeth and wearing braces in the future... He felt like he had forgotten something, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it, so he stopped thinking about it.
When the uncle and aunt saw that their nephew and daughter had gone astray, they quietly high-fived to celebrate.
My eldest daughter is no longer at the age where she can run around with it and show it off.
It’s time to start producing the annual masterpiece “The Birth of Cheng Ergou”!
…
Lazy people will be very motivated when they have to do something!
They always want to get the things they need to do done quickly, and their brains will work frantically to come up with the best way to "be lazy".
These people have played a huge role in the progress of human civilization...
On August 15, Liu Xiu took Qing'er and flew to Portland under the reluctant gazes of his uncle and aunt.
After seeing off their beloved nephew and the most responsible girl in the family, the uncle and aunt went through security check after a while and boarded the flight to Miami...
Liu Xiu took Qing'er to the Portland Airport, and Bill Duffy arranged for someone to pick him up.
Liu Xiu looked at the secretary who came to pick him up and asked curiously, "Why isn't it Tom this time? Was he fired?"
"Hello, Jess, my name is Amy Singleton, you can just call me Amy. I'm Mr. Duffy's new secretary. Since you're moving with your children, Mr. Duffy asked me to come. As a woman, I'm more sensitive to some details."
Amy Singleton, the secretary hired by Bill Duffy during the summer league, spoke carefully and did not have any thoughts just because the handsome boy in front of her was really handsome, young and rich.
Having seen countless men, Amy Singleton knew that Liu Xiu would definitely look down on her, and she had no intention of hooking up with a rich man.
Others may not have heard of Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu was popular for a while, it was only within that circle. Compared with those who are really famous, he is not at the same level at all.
Amy Singleton is actually not sensitive to sports and doesn't pay much attention to entertainment news, but she is now working in a basketball agency...
Look at the people Liu Xiu is dating—Hollywood beauty Anne Hathaway, a socialite in Salt Lake City.
At another time, Amy Singleton might have taken a chance, since being looked down upon was common, but now she didn't want to lose her job.
There is social security, medical insurance, a stable salary, and the possibility of a year-end salary increase for hard work... When you have five insurances and one fund, making money comfortably will no longer be attractive.
As Amy Singleton thought, Liu Xiu had no interest in the plump and mature but worldly secretary in front of him. He complained in his heart - "I didn't expect Bill to be this kind of person... I didn't expect him to be a man!"
Sitting in the business car, Liu Xiu and Qing'er looked at the streets which were much more prosperous than Snow City, and they had much more expectations for this city.
As the car drove, Liu Xiu looked out the window at the street scene for a while and asked, "Miss Singleton, where is the rented house?"
"It's in the East District. The terrain there is flat, the slope between the streets is very low, the greening and road planning are very good, and the house is less than 20 minutes' drive from the Rose Garden Arena..."
As the female secretary was introducing, the street scene had begun to change - flowers, flowers, flowers, and more flowers!
When Liu Xiu entered the urban area from the South District and circled around to the East District, he had already begun to feel what the Rose City was!
The house was arranged in the East District, and Liu Xiu was very satisfied.
Of course, one has to be well prepared. Liu Xiu had spent the previous few days with his uncle, aunt, and Qing'er getting to know the city of Portland.
The South District of the city is the working class and has a large number of white people living in it. The West District is equivalent to a slum. The North District is a prosperous old city, but the urban facilities are outdated and the roads are narrow... it has long lost hope. The East District is a new city district that began to flourish 10 years ago. The "Rose City" now refers to the North District and the East District.
But the North Side, East Side and downtown are not where Portland's athletes and celebrities gather.
Portland's Southwest and Northwest districts are two very chaotic areas.
In the southwest area where the slums meet the working class, all kinds of criminal cases occurred most frequently, especially after the Internet bubble...
The Northwest District is different. It is the place where good and bad people mix together. To put it simply, it is a place where anyone can get high if they have a little knowledge of it. Most of the players on the Trail Blazers live here. There are many gray industries here. For example, if you introduce rich people to live here, you can get a sum of money. It's that direct.
NBA rookies usually have no common sense and are stupid. When they come here, they are tricked into living in the Northwest District. Sometimes their agents do this themselves.
Greedy, mean, cunning... these are the impressions most brokers give people.
But Liu Xiu had made plans from the beginning and would never go here.
In mid-August, the number of roses began to decrease, but Liu Xiu still saw a number of roses that he had never seen in his two lifetimes...
A little over an hour after leaving the airport, we arrived at a medium-sized villa.
There are two floors. The first floor has a large living room, a kitchen, two bathrooms, a gym and a storage room.
There are 4 bedrooms, a dressing room, a gym, and three bathrooms on the second floor.
Qing'er was much more active than Liu Xiu. She looked here and there, and even used Liu Xiu's mobile phone to call his parents, asking questions... But in Liu Xiu's opinion, as long as the house was new, it was enough.
He liked the small yard outside more, and he had already thought about what vegetables to plant - the flame of his racial talent was burning!
When at my uncle and aunt's house, Liu Xiu, Qing'er, and my uncle all strongly suggested that I develop my racial talents, but they were ruthlessly rejected...
The female secretary looked at several houses in the past two days, and she was most satisfied with this one. In fact, there were other options, but she chose Liu Xiu first, so she could save some trouble.
I contacted the property management company and the landlord and signed a rental agreement.
Liu Xiu had to pay his own rent, which was tens of thousands of dollars a year. His heart was bleeding... He had spent almost half of the salary he had received in advance.
Renting a house went smoothly and was done early. Liu Xiu did not keep anyone, so the female secretary left after finishing her work.
After relieving the pain in his heart, Liu Xiu held his sister's hand and looked at the garden in front of him, as if he saw the vegetable garden of the future... No, it was as if he saw the beginning of a new life!
Coming to a strange city again, this time, Liu Xiu did not feel the panic and anxiety he had when he first arrived in this world a year ago, but was full of anticipation!
NBA is really coming!
