I am the Warden Chapter 22: It's all about talent
At 7 o'clock the next morning, Liu Xiu woke up on time and saw the prompt that the simulation training was completed in front of him - "1 hour and 30 minutes of comprehensive backup defense and assist defense simulation training, 30 minutes of shooting basic skills simulation training, 30... 144 healing points are required to extract the simulation training results..."
"Can you give me a chance to sleep in?"
After complaining, Liu Xiu picked up the towel prepared at the bedside and bit it, grabbing the sheets with both hands... His mind moved, and the feeling came!
After yesterday’s disastrous experience of extracting the results of half a month’s simulation training, and now the sourness of one day’s simulation training, this one is pretty refreshing!
Get up and wash up.
Liu Xiu was brushing his teeth, but his eyes were not on the handsome face in the mirror in front of him.
"Available healing value: 722."
Yesterday, the little flying mouse contributed more than 500 healing points, and now it’s time to extract them.
'To learn from Tianzun, you have to take it slow.
Now, on the offensive end, I have learned very comprehensive training methods in two aspects: basic fundamentals and basic techniques. On the defensive end, I have learned very good basic training methods for backup defense and assist defense, as well as defensive concepts.
I have to show my progress in several aspects in the competition, let the coach see my progress, and let the people I want to learn from know that what I have learned is really useful! '
After washing up, Liu Xiu opened the system panel. Early this morning, an "update" that he had been looking forward to was completed.
"Host's overall ability rating: 73. Athletic ability: speed 87, strength 90, jumping 74, flexibility 93, physical strength 87. Basic skills: three-pointer 61, mid-range shot 69, layup 89, ball control 92, passing accuracy 86, turn 74. Techniques: low post-up 82, dribble-after-shooting 60, accelerated layup on the move 67."
Liu Xiu looked at the latest ability evaluation, recalled it carefully, and found that... "It seems that only the turning ability has increased a little bit? I practiced jumping steps, striding steps, and stepping back... but I haven't reached the passing line yet..."
"Well, this is normal. Although the all-round teacher is all-round, the training methods I learned and the training with bonuses determined by the system can only train the basic skills in various aspects to 75+. I am still far from the limit now..."
Liu Xiu, who felt a little bit frustrated by his own strength, walked out of the room, and Qing'er had just left the room.
The two siblings looked at each other and saw that each other's eyes and expressions were the same as their own!
The two came to the warehouse without communicating, one of them took the extra-long power strip and the other carried two boxes. They came to the yard, determined the position of the window, and fiddled with it for a while... The power amplifier equipment that the leaky little girl took away from her father when she moved to Portland was installed!
The CD is placed, the song is chosen, Liu Xiu and Qing'er pose to show respect, and Maikou's song begins!
The melody was great, the sound quality of the amplifier was excellent, and the voice of the girl who sang first was as sweet as a lark.
After the AB segment was over, the girl's voice stopped.
A rookie who was selected 13th in the first round of the Trail Blazers and did not want to be named began his performance.
“That you are not alone
I am here with you
…
…
You're always in my heart
You are not alone…”
The climax is coming! Qing'er is out! The amplifier is at full power!
The slow and gentle melody was sung in such a way that it shocked the heavens and moved the gods and ghosts to tears. Conan felt sad when he heard it, and Huang Zhongliu felt like crying when he heard it.
"Jess! You..." Anthony pushed the window open with a bang and yelled Liu Xiu's English name. There was a child next to Liu Xiu, like a cassette.
After holding it in for a long time, Anthony finally yelled the second half of the sentence: "Good morning!"
…
Anthony was woken up with a passionate wake-up ceremony, Qing'er made breakfast, and after breakfast, she was sent to school... When she got to school, it was already 8:20.
Liu Xiu sent the little devil in Anthony's eyes to school, and then took Anthony to the Rose Garden Arena.
Watching the elementary school students walk into the school gate, Anthony thought of the first time he stayed overnight at Liu Xiu's uncle's house. The next morning, it was this little devil who instigated Liu Xiu to sing loudly in the small courtyard.
It was then that Anthony first learned about his good friend's explosive singing voice.
Arriving at the Rose Garden, Anthony asked, "Jace, I've always been curious about something."
Liu Xiu pulled the handbrake and replied, "What's the matter?"
"You said you're so lazy and don't exercise much, so why do you wake up so early every day? You drank most of the bottle of vodka yesterday, right? How can you wake up so early and drive so sober?"
Liu Xiu's eyes rolled and he got it! He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Want to know?"
“Hmmmm!”
Anthony nodded repeatedly, he felt that Liu Xiu must have some special tricks.
"Get off the car, I'll tell you quietly, don't tell anyone else!"
"good!"
Anthony is looking forward to it! If it is a trick to sober up, then he can drink without limit in the future, which will definitely help him in interpersonal communication.
The two got out of the car, Liu Xiu locked the door and said, "I wake up at 7 o'clock every morning, and I can recover quickly even when I'm drunk, all because..."
"Because what!" Anthony's eyes widened.
Under Anthony's expectant gaze, Liu Xiu continued, "...It's all thanks to the talent my parents passed on to me!"
"...Jace, I'm going to kill you! Don't run!"
…
Liu Xiu arrived at work early again, and Randolph arrived 5 minutes earlier than him.
After Anthony "chased" Liu Xiu for a circle, he saw that there were 4 minutes left before 9 o'clock and ran towards the visiting team's training ground like a fly... Liu Xiu sighed - it was the first time he saw Dong Ge running so fast!
As in the past few game days, Liu Xiu was not conspicuous in training.
First of all, in terms of skills, he doesn't have any outstanding areas. His post-up play is very good, but his level is not outstanding in a team like the Trail Blazers that has always had 50 wins.
As for the mouth cannon...
Apart from those kind of bombardment-style words that could make other stars in other positions have negative basketball-related emotions towards him, Liu Xiu, after joining the Trail Blazers official team, Liu Xiu would not waste his breath saying those provocative words to Rasheed Wallace, Dale Davis... and even Damon Stoudemire.
Because it's useless. He is so weak. If you confront everyone like he did in the summer league, the opponent may simply get angry. If you do it twice more, they may treat you as a fool. There is almost no possibility of providing healing value.
Just like if he said to Damon Stoudemire, "You can't even make the All-Stars," the other party would definitely think he was mentally retarded.
Speak when you should speak, and do your own thing when you shouldn’t speak... Liu Xiu .
Today, Liu Xiu seemed even less conspicuous and said very little, because - when he arrived at the training ground, the system prompted that everyone was present and the player detection reports had all been updated!
Liu Xiu trained very attentively in the pre-match tactical training session. After the training, he sat aside and looked at the "team" on the system screen homepage.
"Point guard: Damon Stoudemire, 30 years old, PG, ability rating 80, offense 85, defense -, passing ability 84, passing accuracy 90... Jeff McGinnis, 29 years old, PG/SG, ability rating 78, offense 80, defense 73, passing ability 81, passing accuracy 84... Derek Anderson, 29 years old, PG/SG, ability rating 77, offense 75, defense 77, passing ability 81, passing accuracy 89..."
Shooting Guard:
Reuben Patterson, 28 years old, SG/SF, ability rating 75, offense 66, defense 85…
Wesley Persson, 32 years old, SG/SF, ability rating 70, offense 69, defense 75, three-pointer 87…
Matt Carroll, 22 years old, SG, ability rating 62, offense 67, defense -, three-point shooting 80...
Small forward:
Travis Outlaw, 19 years old, SF, ability rating 69, offense 63, defense 74…
Quintel Woods, 22 years old, SF/PF, ability rating 64, offense 60, defense 70…
Power Forward:
Zach Randolph, 22 years old, PF, ability rating 86, offense 91, defense 69, rebounds 97...
Dale Davis, 34 years old, PF/C, ability rating 71, offense —, defense 86…
Center:
Rasheed Wallace, 29 years old, C/PF, ability rating 90, offense (91-?), defense (92-?)...
Vladimir Spantinya, 27 years old, C, ability rating 73, offense 72, defense 71…
Ruben Bontjie, 25 years old, C, ability rating 58, offense -, defense 62..."
During lunch time, Liu Xiu compared the player detection reports and ability evaluations of his teammates that he had recorded previously, and compared them with when the training camp had just ended, some had increased and some had decreased.
The team's overall strength is quite outstanding. It has stars, specialty players, a bunch of mainstay players with 70+ ability ratings, and a reasonable lineup... This is expected, after all, it is a team that can get 50 wins despite being in dire straits internally.
"Person's other abilities have almost completely deteriorated except for his three-point shooting. He only has a first-rate three-point shooting ability. When the training camp just ended, his ability rating was only 63. But during the preseason, he showed that he is at least a good role player shooter. He averaged 7 points in 10 minutes per game and made 9 three-pointers in 6 games. His ability rating rose to 70."
"An all-around teacher who knows a little bit about everything. His ability rating reached 79 in the training camp, but in our team he couldn't fully demonstrate his ability like he did in the Spurs and Clippers before, so his rating dropped to 75."
"Lan's situation is a bit complicated. Maybe he's not strong enough, or maybe the Trail Blazers didn't give him enough opportunities. I think it's more suitable to drop to 86 than 90..."
"The only big guy on the team, the top star, who can do everything, is just not strong enough, not smart enough to focus on one thing and not able to take into account the double impact of the other... the version of Garnett?"
"The evaluation of my teammates' abilities is lower than I thought... Their performance in the preseason should be slightly better than this evaluation, so it's based on the regular season's standards!"
"The ability that can be shown in the game is inevitably related to the ability shown in the training camp, but the factors that determine the ability that can be shown in the game are not only hard power..."
…
…
On October 26, 2003, the last preseason game day of the new season, the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets kicked off at the Rose Garden in Portland.
Although this preseason game was not broadcast live, it was a hot topic.
The Nuggets have become a highly anticipated team in the new season because they have acquired Carmelo Anthony, who led the team to win the NCAA basketball championship and won the MOP in the semi-finals in his freshman season.
No one pays attention to the Trail Blazers' playing style, but their hitting style always attracts special attention... Liu Xiu becomes famous again!
The story has spread that Liu Xiu became furious after being bullied by the little flying mouse in a training match, and started beating others when he couldn't beat him in basketball.
This is obviously more topical than a rookie fighting back after being bullied - dare to hit your predecessor!
Anthony was also implicated by Liu Xiu. Today's hot topic during the day was the campus gang background of Liu Xiu and Anthony during their college years.
On the court, players from both teams were fighting hard for victory.
The last preseason game is played as a regular season game to test how well the preparations for the training camp and the first six preseason games have been done.
The starting lineup of the Trail Blazers tonight: Damon Stoudemire, Reuben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.
The starting lineup of the Nuggets: Andre Miller, Washan Leonard, Anthony, Nene, and Camby.
As expected, Liu Xiu was not in the starting lineup, and the starting lineup was still the Flying Squirrel.
The blow from Liu Xiu was pretty hard, but the little flying squirrel was not seriously injured and didn’t even need to wear a mask.
If we have to say this, it was the little flying squirrel's fault. If Liu Xiu hadn't been heavy enough and reacted quickly enough, he might have fallen and been injured if he was pushed while turning around.
It seems that the Flying Squirrel is the one who is more miserable, but the team does not pursue the matter, so the Flying Squirrel is actually lucky.
Of course, the little flying squirrel, who was already unhappy with Liu Xiu, is even more unhappy now.
At this stage, any competitor is an object of displeasure for Little Flying Squirrel.
Maurice Cheeks' coaching style came into play at this time - the team's conflicts outside the court should not be brought onto the court.
The core playing style of the Flying Squirrel cannot be changed. He has been playing for so many years and he has no intention of changing, so others can only cooperate with him.
Rasheed Wallace opened up space, Travis Outlaw prepared to cut in, Ruben Patterson moved to the high position to receive a spot shot after the flying squirrel broke through, and Randolph rushed to grab the ball...
Liu Xiuru sat on the sidelines like he did in the past few games. He looked lazy but was very focused.
Analyze the status of teammates and opponents in this game, analyze the incompatibility of the enemy's and our own playing styles, analyze the strength of the opponent's players, think about what you can do after you enter the court and what help you can bring to your teammates...
After he was sure that he didn't need to spend time on training, he began to develop his other abilities. This was one of the reasons why he was able to go from an amateur to a professional player in just one junior season.
His efforts in this regard in the early stage of his junior season played a big role. Now that he has entered the NBA, he has picked it up again. After several preseason games, he has become familiar with this kind of pre-game preparation.
Now, there is one more way to observe the game and analyze the opponent - player detection report!
When the game just started, Liu Xiu received two system prompts. One was the prompt from the Great Magician to choose to copy the opponent's players, and the other was to view the opponent's player detection report.
There was a player detection report that shocked Liu Xiu... "Carmelo Anthony, 19 years old, 201 cm, 105 kg, ability rating 72 (hangover state)..."
After analyzing it over and over again, Liu Xiu couldn't help but focus his eyes on his good friend, not wanting to look away - "Tonight, I'm going to fuck him!"
