I am the Warden Chapter 3 What does he want to do!
Mr. Liu came to Portland in mid-August!
The coaching staff and training staff of the Trail Blazers who were guiding Travis Outlaw were shocked!
Travis Outlaw is not a talkative person, but as a young boy who has not experienced much of the world, Kevin Plitt quickly found out some information from him - Liu Xiu plans to rest until the start of training camp.
As for why Kevin Prittachurch caught a newcomer to ask questions, there was no other way. He couldn't ask Randolph questions, right?
That guy is as lazy as Liu Xiu. Kevin Pritchard got the news that Randolph went traveling around South America with a Chilean barbecue group.
At present, the only people in the team who have a good relationship with Liu Xiu are Randolph and Travis Outlaw.
After learning that Liu Xiu had come to Portland, Kevin Pritchard waited for two days until Liu Xiu was settled. Then Kevin Pritchard asked Travis Outlaw to visit Liu Xiu's home.
Travis Outlaw is such a great rookie.
His physical condition is very good - 206 cm tall, 220 cm wingspan, vertical jump height of 100+ cm...
His talent in playing basketball cannot be said to be the best, but it is barely at the top level , a talent above the first-rate level.
Talent of this level, if they grow steadily, can eventually reach the NBA starting level.
If he develops well, he has the potential to become a fringe All-Star level player.
Don't underestimate the All-Star fringe level. The general expectation for the No. 1 pick is 3-5 All-Star appearances, and this is not something all No. 1 picks can do.
If Travis Outlaw, who was selected 23rd in the first round, can be selected to the All-Star team even once, it will be a huge profit.
A power forward like David West only made two All-Star appearances in his entire career.
The most important thing is his personality, a completely good boy.
Perhaps such people are easily taken advantage of in society and find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Trail Blazers team full of villains, but such players are very popular with coaches.
On August 18, Kevin Pritchard asked Travis Outlaw to go to Liu Xiu's house to inquire about Liu Xiu's next arrangements... He didn't find out anything, but Travis Outlaw followed Liu Xiu to a private fitness club and practiced with equipment for an entire afternoon!
Not only that, Liu Xiu practiced with the equipment for three days in a row. On the third day, Travis Outlaw couldn't stand it anymore. He practiced in the morning and didn't go in the afternoon.
Upon hearing the news, Kevin Pritchard was shocked!
"Kevin, don't get too excited. Based on what I know about Jay in the summer league, he may just suddenly want to train for a while, and may not train tomorrow." Maurice Cheeks decisively poured cold water on him.
Kevin Pritchard ignores his head coach, who is becoming more and more showy.
"Travis, what do you think of Jace's training these days? Is it just casual training?"
Travis Outlaw shook his head. "No, Jace's training is very professional. Except for some movements that require the assistance of a fitness trainer, he does most of them by himself. And he looks more professional than those professional trainers."
Upon hearing this, Kevin Pritchard said to his head coach, "Is this probably just some casual practice? He's going to the NBA, so that kid should finally start working hard!"
Maurice Cheeks was speechless.
In the past two years, he and Kevin Pritech have been partners and they have cooperated very well, but their personalities can be said to be completely different.
Kevin Pritchard is a relatively traditional coach.
Maurice Cheeks is an alternative coach. He doesn't care about what happens to the players off the court. As long as they perform well on the court, he will use them.
Of course, if the relationship is good or he admires someone, he will give more opportunities.
…
In the evening, Travis Outlaw was again instructed by Kevin Pritchard to visit Liu Xiu's home and have dinner.
When dinner was almost over, Liu Xiu complained, "Travis , you come here every day to eat for free, you have to pay."
"Ah... OK, I don't have any money, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Liu Xiu was speechless after hearing this.
One of the most notable characteristics of Travis Outlaw is that he never gets into disputes over money with others.
Don't take advantage of others, and be willing to suffer a small loss at certain times.
There are also advantages - if you meet someone who likes to take advantage of others, after being cheated twice, you will take the initiative to stay away from him.
After suffering too many losses , sometimes people are unwilling to suffer the loss, but the other party still feels that he has suffered a loss.
Well, Liu Xiu skipped this question and changed the subject: "You actually eat internal organs, aren't you afraid?"
Having been in Portland for a few days, Liu Xiu and Qing'er first bought a pickup truck for transportation, and then bought cookware for Chinese and Western meals. They started cooking in the past two days. Travis Outlaw also came to eat a few meals. What surprised Liu Xiu was that this high school student seemed to be willing to eat anything. No matter what was cooked every day, this guy ate it.
"It's just food, what's there to be afraid of? As long as it's edible, I dare to try it. When I was a kid, I went to Auckland and there was a Chinese restaurant called the Devil's Restaurant. They sold brains... pig brains. I've eaten them!"
Travis Outlaw's eyes flickered with anticipation as he spoke.
He had heard that pig brains were something that not everyone could accept, even among the Chinese, who believed that people would eat anything. To be more precise, most people did not eat them.
And he really had eaten it! What he just said was the truth!
He learned this from Liu Xiu - to tell the truth to stimulate others.
He saw Liu Xiu’s expression was stunned... just for a moment.
Under Travis Outlaw's expectant gaze, Liu Xiu pulled the chair back and said to her sister in an apron, "Oh, my dear sister, stay away from him, he will eat your brain!"
Qing'er cooperated very well and tried to pull the chair... but he couldn't move it. His feet didn't even touch the ground. He didn't know how to do the three-step leap with his left foot and his right foot, so he just jumped down and ran to Liu Xiu's side.
“…”
Travis Outlaw wants to fight, and if he wasn't afraid of getting beaten to tears, he really wants to fight!
The other party did respond, but this response was obviously meant to tease him!
Treat him like a child!
…
After dinner, although it was only 7 o'clock and it was just getting dark, Travis Outlaw was still ready to go back to his rented apartment.
Free America, don't go out casually at night.
Before leaving, Travis Outlaw thought of the instructions of the chief assistant coach, and said to Liu Xiu who was walking him to the door: "Jace, the coach told me to tell you that you have been training too much these days, and you need to rest when you need to..."
"Hmm?...Okay, I get it. I was planning to take a break from tomorrow."
The word got out, and Travis Outlaw drove away in his used car.
The second characteristic of Travis Outlaw as a good boy is that he is thrifty and bought a used car that the landlord was going to sell.
After the good baby left, Qing'er said to Liu Xiu: "Brother, you are finally going to rest. I was shocked. I thought you were really going to start working hard."
Liu Xiu rubbed Qing'er's head: "Why, am I bothering you with my efforts?"
"Pfft," Qing'er spat out the hair that her unlucky brother had pushed into her mouth, and said, "No, it's just that my brother suddenly worked so hard, it's unbelievable!"
You think I am willing!
When Liu Xiu thought about the three days of training, he felt like he had no desire to live .
Fortunately, it was completed today!
When Liu Xiu first got the system item "Strength +1 (Training)", he thought it was easy to do. It was just 6 hours of strength training.
Even if you finish practicing it in one day, it is not that difficult.
The day before yesterday, after he really started training, he collapsed... Even though he had a box lunch, he didn't finish training on the first day. He didn't even complete a single one-hour training set in the entire morning!
Just like the warm-up training before the game, the system gave standard movements, and each movement had a score and judgment... For the entire morning, Liu Xiu was struggling with the standard of the movements.
Fortunately, he has so much experience in pre-match warm-up and patience.
By the afternoon of the day before yesterday, when Travis Outlaw arrived, Liu Xiu had already practiced quite well.
By the time Travis Outlaw came the next day, Liu Xiu was able to complete 4 hours of single-group training in 11 hours, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Finally, today, Liu Xiu spent more than 9 hours to complete the 6-hour training task, and his strength increased to 89!
After completing the training, the system prompted him to receive the muscle memory engraving of "Strength +1 (training)" in a place where no one was around.
But Liu Xiu did not choose to use this prop at this time.
At first he was planning to use it directly, but if he trained his strength to 89 first and then used this, he could directly increase his strength rating to 90!
As for why you don’t practice until you are level 90 before using it…if this continues, you might as well practice until you are level 99 before using it.
Talent has its limits, and it doesn't mean that you will keep improving if you keep training. A technique or a physical condition will stop improving after it has been practiced to a certain level. On the contrary, if you slack off and don't practice, most people will regress instead of making any progress.
"This training attribute-enhancing item can be used to fix bugs. As long as you don't use it, you can always get instructions for standard strength training movements, as well as movement scores. It's a good thing..."
…
Travis Outlaw stopped training with Liu Xiu because he needed to gain weight and practice basic skills.
But the coaching staff has been keeping an eye on Liu Xiu.
There is always a way to find out what Liu Xiu is doing recently, even if Travis Outlaw is not there.
Just based on their personalities and styles of doing things, the coaching staff hopes that Travis Outlaw can get along well with Liu Xiu.
I learned that Liu Xiu really did strength training every other day, and at least for a morning or afternoon. On August 26, it was Liu Xiu's sister's birthday, and his uncle and aunt came. He rested for one more day and resumed training the next day.
Kevin Pritchard was excited! Maurice Cheeks was shocked...
Time flies, August has passed and it is September, the last month of this year's offseason.
Matt Carroll came to Portland at the end of August and received guidance from the coaching staff along with Travis Outlaw.
Both of them work very hard. Their learning ability is just average, not bad, but not great either. They just need to train step by step.
The coaching staff's attention has always been on Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu had been working hard for two weeks, which surprised Maurice Cheeks greatly, but when he looked at the report sent back by the scouts, he felt something was wrong.
Kevin Pritchard thinks that Maurice Cheeks is mentally ill and full of prejudice!
His teammates are working hard, but this guy is suspicious all day long.
But suddenly, on September 5, Liu Xiu did not go to training.
No training for 4 days in a row!
On September 10th, Liu Xiu finally went to training, but not to train strength or physical fitness... but to practice boxing!
Suddenly, Kevin Pritchard thought of something wrong. He flipped through the scouting report and recalled the training situations reported by Travis Outlaw before he asked his scouts to investigate his players...
Kevin Pritchard was a little confused and said to his head coach, "Morris, didn't you always feel that something was wrong with Jess's training?"
"Yes, you know?"
"Yes, come and see... This brat has not had a single day of basketball practice in the past few weeks. He has been training strength and now he is training boxing! What does he want to do?!"
