I am the Warden Chapter 45: Can’t I just try harder?
By the way, Bosh also gave dozens of healing points... but Liu Xiu was not on the court with Bosh for even a second...
After the game, the person who was interviewed after the game was Rasheed Wallace, who was very happy to blow Bosh tonight. With 31 points in a single game, Rasheed Wallace also set a personal season high.
It was past 11 o'clock in the evening, and Liu Xiu was almost done with her physical therapy when Carter came to her.
When Carter saw Liu Xiu for the first time, he exclaimed: "Wow! You are actually doing physical therapy, are you really a rookie? You are like an old grandfather."
Grandpa, this is what the outlaw said when Carter found the outlaw and asked him where Liu Xiu was.
Liu Xiu was surprised that Carter actually came here, and responded: "What do you know? When you are young, you don't know the value of XX. When you are old..."
He can talk dirty and is not difficult to get along with - this is Carter's latest opinion of Liu Xiu.
Carter asked doubtfully, "What you said makes sense , but what does it have to do with your physical therapy?"
"Excessive consumption of XX is the same as excessive consumption of the body. We can't be careless and must take it seriously!"
"That makes sense..."
Carter really thought it made sense.
Men, who wants to shed tears in vain when old?
Wait, how did the topic get to this point? Catra returned to the main topic: "Jace, can I call you that?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
"That's great, thank you so much."
Liu Xiu was stunned: "I just asked you to call me by my English name, so there's no need to thank me, right?"
"Of course not! I want to thank you for helping me rediscover my love for basketball."
"Ah?" Liu Xiu was confused. What happened to me?
Carter is not completely unaware of this. He also knows that sometimes others cannot understand his ideas.
After organizing his words, Carter said: "Maybe today's matchup is not an important matter to you, but tonight, for my basketball career, it is your challenge that has given me a new life!"
Liu Xiu's "Reverse Conqueror" BUFF is always on... Although his influence , it can play a very important role at a specific moment and for specific people.
This time, it happened to hit Carter.
Liu Xiu never understood the function of this BUFF, nor did he have the opportunity to understand it. Indeed, he does not have any "alliance influence" now.
But that’s not important…being happy is what matters!
After hearing what Carter said, Liu Xiu waved his hands and responded, "Sorry, I'm still young and don't want to be a father."
Carter was stunned by Liu Xiu again, and then he shouted angrily: "Who wants to recognize you as the godfather!"
……A few minutes later……
Carter came excitedly and left angrily.
On the way back to the hotel in a taxi, Carter's anger had almost subsided and he couldn't help laughing.
Genius is indeed lonely, no one understands him...
However, he did feel like tonight was the night of his rebirth.
Since this team wants to abandon him and the only thing they want in return for selling him is two first-round picks plus some junk contracts...then let this team have their way!
He lost his fighting spirit before because deep down he didn't want to leave. He felt that his trading value had dropped, so he couldn't leave.
But now, he doesn't! He wants to play his best performance! Just go!
…
…
The day after the game with the Raptors, Liu Xiu left Qing'er in the hands of his aunt who had arrived in Portland early in the morning, and set off with the team to the away game.
When Qing'er transferred to Portland, it was agreed that when Liu Xiu played away games, his aunt would come to take care of Qing'er. This had already started in the preseason. With the well-developed air transportation in the United States, such an arrangement was not troublesome.
Qing'er followed her unlucky brother to the airport to pick up her mother, and then she and her mother sent Liu Xiu to the waiting room, and then went home...
On the way, looking at her mother, Qing'er always felt something was wrong.
"Mom, have you gained weight?"
"yes."
"Why are you gaining weight? You are so self-disciplined. This is unscientific!"
"Mom is pregnant, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you."
“!!!!”
"What's with that expression on your face? Don't you like your brothers and sisters?"
"No, it's just a little sudden...Mom, it has to be my brother!"
"Why? Is my sister not good?"
"My brother doesn't love me as much as he did when I was a child. Mom, the daughter you gave birth to is so cute. If you have another one, the brother will have to revolve around his sister every day!"
“…”
…
Liu Xiu already knew that Qing'er would have a new cousin , but he didn't say it, letting Qing'er experience the surprise on her own.
Liu Xiu followed the team to Dallas and rested for a night. Early in the morning of November 15, he followed the team to the American Airlines Center to prepare for the evening's game against the Mavericks.
Today's preparations made Liu Xiu feel a little different.
At 10:50, the preparatory training was over. Liu Xiu asked Randolph, who was still preparing to practice his footwork for a while, "Butcher, why are you working so hard today?"
This morning, we arrived at the American Airlines Center at 8:30 and started training at 9:20. There were three 20-minute training sessions and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.
What surprised Liu Xiu most was that Randolph was also so enthusiastic.
Randolph smiled like the boss in the second level of Dino Fighter (which he had been practicing recently) and said, "I want revenge!"
"revenge?"
Matt Carroll, who has not had much playing time recently, popped up and said, "Warden, we lost to the Mavericks in the playoffs last season. We lost in Game 7."
Liu Xiu pounded his left palm with his right hand: "I remember now, so this is how it is!"
In the first round of last season, the Trail Blazers were almost swept by the Mavericks, and then Randolph came into being. Randolph was appointed to lead the team and won three games in a row, but unfortunately they lost the seventh game.
The revenge for the Game 7... this kind of grudge is huge. Maybe the team and fans will forget this hatred as time goes by, but the players can remember it for a long time.
What's more, it happened last season.
But... Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Now is really a good time to take revenge!"
"Hehehe..." Randolph laughed a few times and then responded: "Warden, you are so mean!"
"Butcher, you are also very bad..."
Matt Carroll covered his face and dared not look at this scene - one of you is a super genius, and the other is a rising star, can you please not show such a despicable attitude!
……After one hour……
Like Randolph, there were several players who were preparing to practice one or two sets of shooting or footwork. Some players with poor physical strength, or older players, or players with minor injuries did not practice extra and stayed to discuss the game in the evening.
The flame of revenge has spread to the entire team through this morning's training.
It's not surprising that everyone is working so hard, but there is one person...
The extra training for others was just footwork and shooting, which was not particularly strenuous. After all, they had a game in the evening. Although they wanted to sharpen their skills before the game, they were just doing lightweight training.
And that guy...
Let’s not talk about the intensity of that guy’s training.
The fact that that guy stayed behind to train is truly terrifying!
Most importantly, does what this guy practices have anything to do with tonight’s game?
At 11:50, Liu Xiu finished his 5-minute fast boxing training.
When his attention was diverted from training, he noticed that there were people watching him training...
Liu Xiu's face was dark, and he shouted: "Have you never seen others practice more? You are allowed to work hard, but I am not allowed to work hard?"
After these words were spoken, Liu Xiu saw that the healing value continued to rise.
The teammates were also convinced. What this bastard called hard work was actually lifting weights, doing aerobics, and boxing... How could he fight if he worked hard?
Kevin Pritchard, who came to watch Liu Xiu's training, actually got used to it.
In the offseason, he got used to it…
The reason why teammates provide Liu Xiu with healing points is because - this bastard is improving faster than them even without working hard!
…
During lunch time, Liu Xiu looked at the "Endurance +1" training task.
It was still a 6-hour training task, but this morning he tried the first hour of the training task and failed to complete it.
He had guessed this situation long ago.
In the past two days, he thought about it and decided to use the "Physical Strength +1" attribute training card as a "training standard" just like the previous strength training card!
Even if the training task is completed, it will not be used immediately.
The training method of this attribute training card is quite efficient because before the attribute training card completes the task and is used, there are the most standard training action guidelines for each action.
During training, he can "see" whether his movements are consistent with the standards, and can "see" where he is not exerting the right force...
This is a training effect that cannot be achieved even if you remember all the training items, all the training movement details and the force details.
Remember, there is a fundamental difference between “seeing” every poorly done thing and “noticing” it.
Of course, he remembered the training methods, which was an additional basketball survival skill. Even if he is not very good in the future, he can be a trainer, and definitely a very good one.
What he needs to do now is to try out the effectiveness of his physical training.
This is important because not everyone is gifted with physical strength.
Physical strength is definitely one of the most important talents of an athlete!
If you have it, then keep practicing. If not... then find a way to heal your teammates and opponents more often. Blow, blow, blow!
…
After lunch, Liu Xiu spent $10 to ask the security guard at the American Airlines Center about private gyms nearby and rented a place for training.
I have told the coach about this. When playing away games, I have to make it clear to the coach where I am going, so that if anything happens, I can find someone.
Mainly because I don’t want to be treated like a monkey…
He knew that he was always very focused during training. There was nothing he could do about warm-up training. He would be watched if he was watched. He had a training method that could fully activate the body, the kind that allowed him to "see" the best training movement comparison, so of course he had to use it.
He has an advantage that has not been noticed at this stage - he is always in good condition when he plays.
Strength is one thing, and he is always in good condition within his strength range.
But being watched while training for physical fitness is too embarrassing.
The training time he planned was the game day!
He plans to use all his energy on rest days for simulation training.
On match days, a lot of physical energy will be consumed because of preparation training, competitions, etc. The tricky thing about calculating physical energy in simulated training is that it is not calculated based on how much physical energy you have when you sleep. Anyway, on match days, as long as you conduct preparation training, warm-up training, and play in the game normally, the physical energy for simulated training will at most be about two hours of defensive footwork training.
In this way, Liu Xiu found the lunch box quite pleasing to the eye...
…
…
When I am full, I am not tired.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiu said he was going to find a place to train, and Kevin Pritchard asked people about it... and he actually went!
Then, at 4:30 pm, Liu Xiu returned to the gym, ate, slept for half an hour, and when he got up for warm-up training at 5:30 pm, he seemed to have recovered...
Kevin Pritecha and Maurice Cheeks lamented that the world is full of wonders.
But since there are Jordan, Iverson, Kobe, Hamilton... and other physical freaks, there will naturally be such people.
At 7:40 p.m., the entrance ceremony for the Trail Blazers' away challenge against the Mavericks began.
The Trail Blazers, who entered the stadium first, felt what discrimination was.
Black people and yellow people received a lot of boos, while there were very few white people on the Trail Blazers team.
After entering the stadium amid boos , Liu Xiu saw the opposing team's star player come on stage.
Just watching the stars makes me really irritable!
When the starting lineup of Finley, Nash, Shawn Bradley, Antoine Walker and Nowitzki came out, it was really intimidating.
Because the first player on the bench is Antawn Jamison, who averaged 21.6 points per game in the past four seasons and 24.9 points per game in the highest season!
There are only two teams in the league that can compete with the Trail Blazers in terms of salary, and the Trail Blazers' current opponent is one of them.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Mavericks started.
As for how strong the Trail Blazers are, Tianzun told Liu Xiu that it is about the same as last season.
Pippen and Bonzi Wells are missing, but the little flying squirrel plays as the sixth man, which makes up for a lot. Randolph becomes the top scorer in the interior, which makes up for a lot. Dale Davis is one year older, but the pressure on the offensive end of the Tianzun is reduced, and the defensive end can and is willing to invest more energy...
All in all, they are not as good as last season, but the main reason is that the new season has just begun. With Tianzun's many years of experience, they have the potential to surpass the 50-win level of the past two years.
Just as Tianzun said, the new season has just started and it is hard to say what will happen, just like people are still looking forward to the Mavericks with their luxurious lineup... But now, they, the Trail Blazers, can beat the Mavericks!
Randolph played so smoothly against the Mavericks!
When the Mavericks were stronger last season, he almost led the team to a 0-3 comeback. Now, with the advantage in strength and more confidence, he is even stronger... He played for 41 minutes, scored 31 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and led the Trail Blazers to a 111-95 victory over the Mavericks, improving their record to 5 wins and 4 losses, and at the same time reducing the Mavericks' record to 5 wins and 5 losses.
After this game, the Trail Blazers just surpassed the Mavericks and moved up to ninth in the Western Conference!
Liu Xiu played for 21 minutes in this game and scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
This was Liu Xiu's fourth game in his rookie season. Finally, it was his first game in which his score was less than double digits.
