Volume 1: A rookie who breaks into the basketball world Chapter 18 What a pity for this rookie!
With 2.3 seconds left, the Heat players still didn't want to give up, but the cruel thing was that there were no more timeouts!
In the summer league, each team has two timeouts in each half, and those not used in the first half cannot be carried over to the second half.
The Heat and Trail Blazers had already used it, so neither team called a timeout at the critical moment.
In fact, it is usually not important whether to leave a pause or not.
Just like in the critical moment just now, the coaches of both teams did not expect their rookies to score goals at the critical moment. Wade and Liu Xiu both made the key shots, which was an absolute surprise for the coaches of both teams.
Wade's personal ability; Liu Xiu's outstanding basketball IQ and ability to grasp timing...Basketball IQ and the ability to grasp timing are actually part of strength.
With 2.3 seconds left to attack, the Heat came out. Kirk Penny received a pass from Haslem and immediately threw it to the center line. Caron Butler received the second pass at the center line, turned around and shot a long three-pointer...
There was no miracle in 2.3 seconds. The ball had not left Caron Butler's hands yet, but the final whistle had already sounded and the Heat players began to wail.
Liu Xiu’s system prompt came.
“Host participation in the Trail Blazers and Heat summer league game has ended, and the competition between the Heat summer league team and the host has been resolved.

"Competition scoring, basic rewards, reward bonuses... new stuff!"
What a surprise!
Liu Xiu was just about to study this carefully when Wade came up to him and put away the system.
Before Wade could even open his mouth, as soon as he walked to Liu Xiu's side, he saw a flash of disdain in Liu Xiu's eyes.
What does this mean?
Wade was about to speak when Liu Xiu spoke first.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"???" Wade had a real black question mark face.
What's the matter? This guy actually asked him what's the matter?
Wade didn't know who told him that as a strong person, if you lose, you have to accept it and respect your opponent who won the game, because the opponent defeated you, you are a strong person, and the opponent is naturally a strong person as well and deserves respect.
Although he didn't know who said this, Wade felt that this principle made sense.
Holding back his anger, Wade said, "You played well tonight. I lost, but next time we fight, I will not lose to you. I will make you remember my name!"
Looking at Wade, who was so serious, so young, and whose cheeks were not that big yet, Liu Xiu inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
As for why it wasn't there during the game, it was probably because they didn't notice it.
Liu Xiu responded: "I know your name. I remember it. Your name is Dwyane Wade, the fifth overall pick in my class."
“????” Wade was about to explode!
He feels now like... I said I kill people without blinking an eye and you ask me if I keep my eyes open?
Liu Xiu was waiting for Wade to say the next sentence when he saw Wade suddenly turn around and leave. He called out to him twice, but the other party ignored him.
Wade can't bear it anymore. If he hears another two words, he might really start swearing!
If there was swearing and a conflict now, it would mean that he couldn't afford to lose, but Wade really couldn't say anything nice, so he chose to turn around and leave.
Although it is only the summer league, losing after playing to this point would feel exactly like being taken down by the opponent after a small mistake in a game of League of Legends for forty or fifty minutes.
As long as there wasn't that little mistake , and if we had done a little better at other times, we would have won, but there is no if!
Wade's first game after entering the NBA, although it was only the summer league, but this defeat was deeply engraved in his heart.
It has nothing to do with the post-match chat! Absolutely not!
At this time, the reporter came to Liu Xiu and asked for an interview. Liu Xiu wanted to catch up with Wade and chat for a while, but had to give up and wait until there was a chance to chat again in the future.
"Hello, Jace, I'm a reporter from Turner Sports. Congratulations on your outstanding performance in your first NBA game..."
The reporter originally felt very annoyed about interviewing a game involving an unpopular rookie. Who wouldn't want to watch the sold-out game in the evening?
But there is nothing to complain about now, this game was played very beautifully, with the score rising back and forth and both sides fighting for the whole game and finally winning with the key ball. There is a high probability that this Orlando Summer League will not be more intense and exciting than this, after all, it is a summer league.
Liu Xiu responded: "Thank you, I also think my teammates and I played well tonight."
This answer surprised the reporter a little. He had interviewed Yao Ming several times and thought that Chinese people would always be overly modest before getting down to business. But Liu Xiu directly accepted such praise.
"Dwyane Wade also performed very well tonight. He showed amazing personal ability. Do you think Dwyane Wade is stronger than Carmelo Anthony?"
"In terms of breakthrough scoring, Dwyane Wade is the best I've ever seen. He's better than Carmelo."
This answer was beyond the reporter's expectations. Liu Xiu actually praised Wade so much, but he felt something was wrong. He continued to ask: "The first overall pick LeBron James is also very good at breakthroughs. When he was in high school, he had 6 consecutive games with a 100% breakthrough shooting rate. Compared with him and Dwyane Wade, who do you think is better?"
"Is LeBron James so good? I thought Dwyane Wade's breakthrough was invincible, but I didn't expect there would be such a good newcomer. But I still think Dwyane Wade is stronger. I am looking forward to seeing their next game."
The reporters like Liu Xiu’s cooperation with the interview!
Moreover, Liu Xiu is not as cold and arrogant as some rookies, nor is he as unreasonable and arrogant as some rookies. He is also different from James who is extremely official in everything. He is just the kind of interview subject that reporters like.
But if you like it, you also have to create some interesting news.
"Jace, you seem to like Dwyane Wade very much. So, compared to him, Carmelo Anthony, and LeBron James, who do you think is the best?"
"Are you talking about personal strength?"
"right."
"Then of course I am the weakest one. I am just an ordinary point guard. Today I beat Dwyane Wade, all thanks to my teammates. Our team cheated and let Zach participate in the summer league. My teammates are much better than their teammates. In the regular season, the gap will be even greater. I believe they also know this."
The reporter felt that this rookie was incredible!
It seems like they are just talking about facts like friends chatting, but they are actually trying to sow discord, create confrontation, and create topics...everything!
By the way, I also praised Poland.
The reporter felt it was a pity that Liu Xiu was selected by the Trail Blazers. That place is a star's graveyard...
…
…
Liu Xiu made a near buzzer beater in his summer league debut!
Although the statistics are not so good, in his first NBA game, even though it was only a summer league and the level was not high, Liu Xiu proved that he can show his characteristics in adult basketball.
With good psychological quality and a solid body, he was able to support his style of play that did not rely on dynamic physical fitness. With 15 points, 5 assists and a near buzzer beater, Liu Xiu smiled slightly, having won the trust of the coaching staff...
In fact, it is too early to say that they trust him. Although Maurice Cheeks and Kevin Pritchard value Liu Xiu, it still depends on whether Liu Xiu has the ability to gain a foothold in the real Trail Blazers team.
In this game, Liu Xiu not only received more expectations and stronger training interest from the coaching staff, but also became a little famous.
A decisive goal is always more attractive.
In addition, Liu Xiu's game photos and facial close-ups attracted many female fans.
Liu Xiu always has a lazy expression on his face on the court, occasionally smiling gently, and always looks confident.
The scene of him looking at Wade with a pursed mouth and squinted eyes after the buzzer-beater, as if to say - that's it?
The game was not broadcast live, and these candid photos and some video clips of key balls were reported on the news. People had mixed reactions, but the comments from female fans were mostly positive...
After the game, Liu Xiu finished his physical therapy and invited Randolph to dinner as planned.
Randolph scored a game-high 27 points, including 14 points from the back, almost more than Liu Xiu's entire game score.
Randolph is a big eater... Liu Xiu doesn't feel sorry for him. If Randolph can play so well every day, he would be willing to treat Randolph to a meal after every game.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiu and Randolph went to the scene together to watch the summer league debut of the No. 1 pick James.
It is indeed a talent that can be seen with the naked eye, but no matter how Liu Xiu looks at it, he feels that, at least at the moment, Anthony should be the strongest, and the gap between James and Wade is not that big.
…
That night, Liu Xiu took a bath and went to bed early, then entered the system space.
Looking back at today's game, Liu Xiu focused on two things.
"Game scoring. You can get healing points for each game. The basic healing points are affected by the overall level of the game. For example, in the summer league, the basic healing points are 100 points. If you win, you will be scored The game scoring is affected by the host's data, the host's analysis and execution ability in the game, and the host's impact on the game. The basic score is C. From C+, the reward is increased by 10% for each small grade increase in the score, and the reward is reduced by 10% for each small grade decrease. If you lose the game, you will be fixed with a score of D, and you can only get 50% of the basic healing points, and you must meet the main player's playing time requirements (15 minutes of playing time)."
In addition to basic information and ability evaluation, Liu Xiu's system main interface also has an introduction to competition scoring.
Liu Xiu had already taken time to read it before, but when he came here, he read it again carefully.
Liu Xiu likes to think about the game and his basketball career here because his mind is absolutely clear and there is no external interference.
"Stats and game influence all rely on playing time. Playing for a long time is very important... My strength is indeed not good enough. It is very important to integrate into the tactics and cooperate well with teammates..."
"It would be terrible if we lose. Even if we get the reward, it's only 50 healing points, which is not enough for an hour of simulation training."
"With the 160 healing points bonus from tonight's game, my healing points are now 4977 points..."
From the beginning to the end of the game tonight, Wade added healing value to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu calculated it and found that it was only more than 200 points, which was lower than expected.
This thing is just a matter of personality, just like when James only gave 5 points during the draft...
There is no way around it, so just ignore it for now. Just try your best to get healing points in every game. The game itself is more important, whether it is the desire to win or the training of your own strength.
Another thing Liu Xiu thought of was the talent bonus of the "Great Magician".
"If conditions permit, it is best if the person copied by the Great Magician during training is not the same person as the person copied by the Great Magician during competition."
"Things that require quick learning and simulated training are definitely things I am not good at; when playing in a game, additional skills are needed, and it is best if I am good at it."
"It's different from what I thought. The bonus is to make my skills better. The bonus is to improve the finishing ability after completing the technical action, the physical fitness required to support the technology, etc. There may be other things, but it's different from what I thought at the beginning. To trigger the bonus, there must be technical support."
"I don't know if anyone will be judged as having more talent, McGrady? Penny? Odom?"
Probably having understood the two new game-related things opened in the system, Liu Xiu's thoughts returned to the game itself - leaving college and entering the adult basketball world, it is so difficult!
