I am the Warden Chapter 8 I Never Be a Little Brother
After the dinner with the "Aohu Squad", Liu Xiu returned home to help her sister with her homework...
Early to bed and early to rise makes a healthy body. At 10 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiu lay down to sleep and entered the simulation training mode. Liu Xiu looked at the healing value accumulated during this period.
"Available healing value: 4272."
Except for the first day when the value increased by more than one thousand, in the next ten days, an increase of five or six hundred was considered a lot, and the lowest was only two or three hundred. In these 11 days, including the deductions for simulation training, the healing value increased by more than 5,000.
"The guys on the Portland Prison Team are so cute, they explode at the slightest touch... Unfortunately I'm too weak to tell the truth, so I just keep silent most of the time."
Liu Xiu recalled the ten days since he entered the NBA, and thought about trying to join the Syracuse University Orangemen at this time last year... "The gap between ordinary people and NCAA-level players, the gap between top NCAA players and NBA players, the latter may be greater than the former!"
Picking up a pen and paper, Liu Xiu wrote down the specialties of several teammates he liked, his estimated strength, his estimated degree of match between himself and their specialties, and so on.
The preseason will begin in two days, and while he is excited, he also wants to make the best preparations possible.
In the past period of time, in addition to doing his own job well, he has been carefully observing the strengths and characteristics of his teammates.
I have an impression of some players, but for most of them I just remember their names, so I need to get to know them better.
Technology is something that is strong or weak, which varies from person to person.
The simplest close-range 45-degree turnaround and bank shot, in the hands of Tim Duncan, is the second most powerful inside move in the league today, second only to Shaquille O'Neal's back-to-the-basket shot.
Copy the skills that teammates are best at as your own innate skills, learn teammates' training methods... To put it simply, "Great Magician" allows Liu Xiu to get a training bonus in the learning of a certain skill, which is effective in simulated training.
When the basic conditions are basically the same, if one person learns a skill faster than others, it can certainly be called a talent.
During this period of time, Liu Xiu was not in a hurry to immediately copy anyone's talent or learn technical training methods from anyone.
The healing value is not enough, so you have to save it slowly and do more thorough research to find the most suitable technology that can immediately enhance the effect as a talent.
After a training camp, Liu Xiu collected enough information and was ready to make a decision!
…
At 7 o'clock in the morning on October 8, Liu Xiu woke up on time.
After extracting the results of the simulated training and feeling a familiar wave of sourness, Liu Xiu finally received the system prompt he had been waiting for for a long time!
"The 2003-2004 season training camp has ended, the initial data for the new season has been collected, the host has completed the system upgrade, and the player detection report is fully enabled."
"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 73. Techniques: low post back 82, dribble shot 60, layup on the move 67. Note: Individual ability judgments below the passing level (60) will not be included in the player detection report."
"Well……"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a while.
"I had good three-point and mid-range shots in the summer league, and there has been some improvement in the past month, but the result is just barely passing. I guess I can only shoot if I have to..."
"Dribble shots and layups are all passing."
"Is my jumping ability improved a bit? Oh, yes. I lost a little weight and gained some muscle when I was doing strength training. Then I gained some weight back...The summer training was not in vain. I only scored 85 in the summer league, but 87 in the NBA."
"But! But! But!"
“I knew it would be tragic, but I didn’t expect it to be this tragic!”
"I only have one move now? Grind it in or dig it in?"
…
"Derrick Anderson, 29 years old, PG/SG, 196 cm, 88 kg, ability rating 79, offense 81, defense 78. Athletic ability: speed 88, strength 76, jumping 85, flexibility 92... Basic skills: three-pointer 81, mid-range shot 80, layup 90, ball control 84, passing accuracy 85, turn 76, jump step 77... Skills: dribble shot 78, catch and shoot quickly 81, crossover step change of direction breakthrough 82, low post post singles 67, high post post singles 78..."
Liu Xiu stared at Derek Anderson, then glanced at Derek Anderson's player detection report.
After watching it several times, I still feel it is amazing and Liu Xiu feels regretful.
Back then, this talented tall point guard who was selected 13th in the first round of the 1997 draft, although not extremely athletic, had extraordinary running and jumping abilities. In his junior year, he averaged 16.9 points, 4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and was excellent in both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, he suffered a serious injury before the end of his junior season. He rehabilitated tenaciously and successfully returned in the new season and played the entire season, but his athletic ability weakened and his weight loss allowed him to only maintain a top-notch speed. Later, he became a purely technical player.
Technology depends on physical talent. No matter how well you have trained your skills, you cannot bring them into full play if your physical condition is not good enough. The person in front of you is one of them.
Liu Xiu put aside the information he had found in his mind and stared at Derek Anderson, waiting for a reply.
Derek Anderson is very surprised and doesn't know how to make a decision.
Today is the team's day off and he is preparing to rest. Liu Xiu calls and asks him if he is free and wants to visit him.
He did not have too many negative emotions towards Liu Xiu. He did not want to get involved in the disputes within the team, so he pretended to be a younger brother of Rasheed Wallace. Although Liu Xiu had a bad reputation in the team in just ten days, Derek Anderson, as an "outsider", felt that there was nothing wrong with Liu Xiu except his gossip.
He agreed to Liu Xiu's visit and received Liu Xiu in his mansion with 7 rooms, 11 bathrooms, two swimming pools...
When the Trail Blazers owner recruited him to Portland, he gave him a sky-high contract of 48 million US dollars over 6 years.
He likes to show off his wealth.
And it's a more subtle way of showing off wealth, usually driving a nice car or taking friends to see his house.
However, he did not expect that Liu Xiu would make a request that took him by surprise as soon as he arrived.
This request made Derek Anderson, a more reserved person, at a loss for words. After a while, he asked, "Jace, I'm not a star player. Why do you want to learn from me? Shouldn't you learn from a big star like Damon?"
I'm actually struggling with this... Liu Xiu replied, "I'm not fast, nor am I the type of point guard who can break through and organize. If I learn , considering the competition between him and me in the same position, the chances of him teaching me are not high."
Derek Anderson smiled and said, "We are in the same position and we are also competitors."
"no the same."
"What's the difference?"
"He is in a contract year next season. His style of play, which relies on his physical fitness, will definitely become weaker and weaker. He will be very anxious and worried that he will not get a contract. You are different. Your contract will not expire until 2007. By then, you will be 34 years old and may consider not playing. Moreover, you are a technical player with comprehensive skills and can handle a variety of styles. Although the current team's style of play is not suitable for you, you still maintain a very high level. If you are in the right team and do not suffer from injuries, your strength will not decline much in the next three or four years."
"Ou Ke, this is a very reasonable analysis. It seems that you are fully prepared. If I don't agree, you won't leave, right? Don't worry, I am willing to teach you..." Derek Anderson laughed and said, "Who doesn't like to be taught? What do you want to learn? I can confidently say that I know a little bit of almost every technique."
"I know. I want to try them all and see which one is more suitable for me."
In the past 11 days, plus the conversation just now, Liu Xiu has basically figured out Derek Anderson's character and chose the most direct approach.
"You want to expand your technology? In what direction?"
"I want them all! I don't know what's the best thing for me to learn right now, so I want to try them all."
Derek Anderson recalled a conversation he had with coach Orlando Smith in the summer of 2000 when he returned from an injury and wanted to expand his skills.
"No problem. Then you can learn slowly. Starting from today, I will spend an hour every morning teaching you the techniques. Let's start now?"
"Uh..." Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly became active, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and said decisively: "Okay, let's start now!"
"I know a lot of techniques. I don't know how long it would take you to learn them all, even if you study for an hour every day."
"It's okay, I learn very quickly."
Derek Anderson curled his lips.
On Liu Xiu's side, the system prompt came.
"Great Magician:
Rapid learning mode is on.
Study subject: Derek Anderson.
Learning content: comprehensive training methods including all-round basic skills, all-round basic techniques, etc.
Consumes 3000 healing points.
Remaining healing value 1016."
"Great Magician: Copied object 1: Zach Randolph, copied talent: Zach Randolph's low-post back-to-the-basket singles. Training bonus: 80%. Copied object 2: Derek Anderson, copied talent: all-around role player. Training bonus: 50%. Copied object 3: Dale Davis..."
The healing value costs 3000... ridiculously expensive!
The bonus is only 50%, which is much lower than Randolph's back-to-the-basket training efficiency bonus.
However, after starting to study, Liu Xiu felt that he had not lost out.
Derek Anderson, who turned into a pure technical player after a serious injury destroyed his athletic ability, has skills that are perfect for him!
…
Teaching people can become addictive.
Those who learn really want to learn, and they have talent, so they learn very quickly... They learn the training methods very quickly, so naturally the teachers are very enthusiastic in teaching.
Originally, Derek Anderson only planned to teach Liu Xiu for an hour, but Liu Xiu learned too fast, and Derek Anderson became more and more excited as he taught. He taught from 9:30 to 12:00, and only ended the class when his wife called them to have lunch.
Derek Anderson still wanted to teach in the afternoon, but Liu Xiu had an appointment with someone else in the afternoon, so Derek Anderson could only see Liu Xiu off with regret.
When Liu Xiu left, Derek Anderson felt a little lost.
After the excitement wore off, Derek Anderson recalled the two hours he spent teaching Liu Xiu. At first, he just wanted to teach him the basics of a few techniques. If Liu Xiu wanted to learn more, he would slowly break it down and teach him little by little. It would only take an hour a day, and it would take a long time to teach...
As a result, Liu Xiu could imitate the movements of each technique perfectly after watching it twice. He also went straight to the bottom of the details. When Derek Anderson didn't know how to go deeper, Liu Xiu started to learn the training method of the next technique.
Thinking of this, he felt as if his body was beginning to be hollowed out.
"FUC... With his learning speed, it won't take long for him to learn all my techniques, right? But even if he learns all the training methods, what's the point? Does he want to learn all the training methods and then choose the techniques? Expanding one by one is the hard truth. If you learn too many training methods, your progress will be affected. It's not good to have too many methods..."
Derek Anderson had no intention of reminding Liu Xiu in this regard. He had also gone through the youth stage. Before his serious injury, some people said that he was too tall and should not play like that because it would be easy to get injured, but he did not listen.
Although he liked Liu Xiu's direct way of speaking, which was a style that an introverted and reserved person like him didn't have, he was not really that familiar with him after all.
Isn't it that forming a "pretend I'm a bad guy" duo with Rasheed Wallace just about not wanting to appear too different from his teammates and not wanting to offend others?
…
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon, at Dale Davis' home in a villa in Portland.
"You want to learn to help out on defense? That's hard work."
It was clear that Dale Davis was going to say no.
"It's very hard, but I am suitable for this kind of defense. My weight and strength are not inferior to most shooting guards and small forwards. I don't have much confidence in how good I can be in one-on-one defense, but I don't want to give up defense. I hope to make some contributions on the defensive end."
Dale Davis was very surprised. From what he had learned about Liu Xiu during this period, he knew that he was just a lazy guy.
But think about it, if you really have no fighting spirit, how can you win the NCAA basketball championship?
Being lazy doesn't mean not wanting to do a good job.
Maybe he is a young man who can be educated well...
Dale Davis said: "Okay, from today on, you are my little brother. I will teach you how to help defend!"
Liu Xiu shook his head: "I don't want to be your little brother."
Dale Davis' eyes widened: "You are not my little brother, why should I teach you?"
"I know another way. I can beat you. As long as I beat you, even if I don't become your little brother, you will help me."
Dale Davis was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a ferocious smile...
…
"Move your feet! Move your feet! I'm not asking you to move your upper body, you should keep your upper body upright so that you won't commit a foul during a confrontation !"
"If I'm a small forward, when I cut in, you can move here, there will be a center here... Yes, in our tactics, Rashid should be here. If I play with you, I will be here. Your presence here seems to have nothing to do with defending against the small forward's cut-in, but in fact it blocks the other small forward's other option after receiving the ball. This is also a defense against the small forward's cut-in offense!"
“…”
“…”
This teammate is really smart! In terms of training, he can understand it at once... Damn! Why is he so good at learning? I can't find many words to curse him - Dale Davis rubbed the bruises on his body and thought so.
On Liu Xiu's side, the system's talent section.
"Great Magician:
Quickly learn the magic to open.
Study subject: Dale Davis.
Learning content: How to train defensively for players who break through or cut into the outside .
Healing value consumed: 1000.
Remaining healing value 213."
"Great Magician: Copied object 1: Zach Randolph, copied talent: Zach Randolph low post singles. Training bonus: 80%. Copied object 2: Derek Anderson, copied talent: all-around role player. Training bonus: 50%. Copied object 3: Dale Davis, copied talent: meat grinder. Training bonus: 60%."
If it weren't for the fact that Derek Anderson's healing value increased by a small amount many times and Dale Davis' healing value increased a little from time to time, Liu Xiu's healing value would only be in double digits!
