Healing Basketball

Chapter 10 10. The opening map gun (for collection)
When we arrived in Orlando, Bill Duffy, who had made an appointment, came to pick up Liu Xiu and go to the hotel where the Trail Blazers summer league team stayed.

Surprisingly, the coach led by the Trail Blazers this summer league is coach Maurice Cheeks, with chief assistant Kevin Pritchar next to him.

We met and exchanged pleasantries. Even if it was a report, Maurice Cheeks didn't say much, but assistant coach Kevin Pritchar told us the time and place for the assembly tomorrow morning.

After the report, Bill Duffy and Liu Xiu came to the room prepared for him by the Trail Blazers.

Bill Duffy looked at the room after entering the room, and said with a smile: "As expected of the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets have double rooms. If Carmelo knows that you live in single rooms..."

Seeing that Bill Duffy, who was so serious, actually showed an expression of wanting to watch a good show, Liu Xiu really wanted to take a picture of it with the camera.

But soon Bill Duffy returned to his old-fashioned style: "Jess, as a rookie in the lottery, the Trail Blazers will definitely give you a chance to show off your abilities in the summer league..."

Liu Xiu had heard these words several times on the road, and he interrupted quickly: "Bill, what kind of person is my head coach Maurice Cheeks? I don't feel easy to get along with."

Bill Duffy was not annoyed when he was interrupted. This is a serious question. He thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about him. I only know that he is not a very strict person. There are many media and experts who will open up The more and more chaos of the Trail Blazers is regarded as the result of his not being strict enough to lead the team, and the former general manager of the Trail Blazers, Bob Sweet, also stepped down after the draft because of the chaos of the team..."

Difficult to get along with and not a strict person?

No matter what you think, you don't feel right.

Liu Xiu has also investigated various information about the Trail Blazers in the past few days, but he couldn't find much useful information from the Internet and newspapers. Eight of the ten news items were negative reports. The players are so good. Apart from being criticized, the head coach of Kex doesn't have much sense of presence.

However, under such circumstances, the Trail Blazers won 01 wins in the 02-49 season and 50 wins last season...

Liu Xiu thinks it's better to experience it for herself.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Liu Xiu had already chatted with Bill Duffy a lot.

Liu Xiu learned from Bill Duffy that the Trail Blazers officially submitted his signing contract to the players union and the league, and he officially joined the Trail Blazers.

Before the Trail Blazers officially submit Liu Xiu's contract to the league, Liu Xiu only needs to occupy a virtual base salary space of $46. After the contract is officially submitted, Liu Xiu has to calculate the salary space occupied by $178 million.

In fact, for the Trail Blazers, it is not important to sign early to occupy space. The Trail Blazers' salary of nearly 8000 million dollars next season has already exploded.

I got it. On the Jazz side, Stockton chose to retire. Malone’s contract expired and the Jazz has been notified that he will not renew the contract. A bunch of contracts to make room for the Jazz, trade Malone back, even if Malone is paid a lot of money, the Trail Blazers can also vacate part of the space.

In turn, the Trail Blazers have the possibility of a large-scale clearing space-this is the idea of ​​​​the Blazers' new general manager John Nash.

However, the probability that the Jazz are willing to take the contract is about [-]%, and this also requires Malone to be willing to join the Trail Blazers, the probability is also about [-]%.

After the free market opened on July 7, the Trail Blazers contacted the Jazz and Malone. The Jazz were quite interested in some of the Trail Blazers' talented players, but Malone simply ignored the Trail Blazers and did not respond for a few days. , Malone seemed to think of the Trail Blazers this morning and declined the invitation.

Not surprisingly, John Nash's "big plan" collapsed directly when he took office as a new official.

John Nash just became the general manager, and he rushed to do something that was bound to fail and would make the team's high-paid players unhappy. When Bill Duffy told Liu Xiu about this kind of operation, his tone was a little bit laugh at.

Bill Duffy also said some small things. For example, after he withdrew 30% of his salary in advance, when the salary is paid in the new season, the player union's commission will still be calculated according to the total salary.

These things seem to be known without saying, but agents will say that most NBA players are black. Although some blacks are sober-minded, most of them don't say that he will definitely make trouble when the time comes.

Sending off Bill Duffy, who is currently in the busiest stage, hastily coming and going, Liu Xiu still has a little bit of regret.

"Ma Long, he averaged 40 points per game at the age of 20 last year, and I don't have a Hispanic girlfriend, so I'm not afraid to be teammates with him..."

'Wait, I have Tianzun and Black Bear, what Ma Long do I want, isn't the one who plays table tennis handsome?Isn't the one playing tennis domineering...the one playing tennis doesn't seem to be called Malone...'

Liu Xiu entered a habitual state of distraction... After a while, she finally came back to her senses, and with a thought, she turned on the system screen.

On the screen is the ability evaluation of the basic data, which is the same as before, but there are three more options next to the 'simulation training' option.

'Lucky Draw' and 'Exchange', these two are dark and not optional, and the last 'Talent' can be entered.

Open the talent section, there is only one option, followed by 'incomplete'.

"Great Mage (incomplete) (not officially joined the team): Temporarily copy and designate a teammate's best skill as a talent, and get bonuses in training and competitions. (Note: 1. The specific effect depends on the degree of matching, copying teammates The technical strength of this skill depends on the skill level of the host itself. 2. Only one talent can be designated in a day, and if there is a game on that day, a new talent can be designated before the game starts. Please choose carefully.)”

Seeing this, Liu Xiu became excited again.

Fortunately, it didn't frighten a group of people to gather around like the weird noise on the plane at noon.

Now, Liu Xiu can finally analyze this talent with a relatively calm mind after officially entering the NBA and getting a big gift package.

'What is the effect of this bonus... Don't think about it, just try it after joining the team. '

'Looking at the description, it should be that you can copy whoever you want... Well, no, only teammates can do it. '

' Don't know what the full version is. '

'Damn it, I still disliked the Trail Blazers before. With this talent, the Trail Blazers are simply a treasure team! '

Liu Xiu accepted this team before because everyone on this team didn't look like a good person and thought it was a mess.

Thinking about it now, just looking at talent, Damon Stoudemire, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Randolph... Even without Sabonis, Steve Smith and others, There are not many teams in the NBA with more stars than the Trail Blazers!
……

……

At 8:[-] the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Xiu walked slowly from the hotel to the training ground arranged by the Magic for the Trail Blazers.

It is only a few minutes' drive from the TD Water House Center Gymnasium, and it is also a few minutes' walk from the hotel where you are staying.

The time he planned to go should not be so noticeable, not too early, not too late.

Normally, the gathering at 9 o'clock, from 8:05 to 8:25, should be the least noticeable time, and if it is later, it may be a little later, and if it is early, it may be the earliest group.

But Liu Xiu still wandered around and arrived at the training ground at 8:20. After entering the training ground, what he saw was the training scene that was already in full swing.

'Roll your sister! '

Obviously the temperature of the air conditioner is quite low, but some players are already sweating...'Is this because the bones are too weak? '

Obviously, Liu Xiu felt several hostile eyes.

How is the hostility felt?

"Healing value +11, from Quintelle Woods."

"Healing value +9, from Tita Carter."

"Healing value +7..."

"..."

"..."

All of a sudden, the healing value increased by nearly [-] points!
Liu Xiu thought of what Bill Duffy said yesterday - "You can be selected by an NBA team like this. There are many players that teams want. I don't want you to go to the Trail Blazers, but for the undrafted, For veterans and development league players who have no jobs, any opportunity for any team, I hope they will go all out to fight for..."

'Is it because I was selected with the No.13 pick, and the official announcement officially signed the contract, and they envy and hate?What's up with that guy named Quintel Woods?Forget it, it doesn't matter, I have encountered so much hostility since I came here... It's just great! '

Although it is cruel to say it, Liu Xiu knows that the probability of undrafted, unemployed veterans, and development league players entering the NBA through the summer league is probably one in a hundred, and it may be even lower.

Liu Xiu, led by the trainer, changed into his summer league jersey and returned to the training ground, still enjoying the staring ceremony, but this time the healing value did not increase.

Everyone's attention is on Liu Xiu's figure...it's so unfair!
How can such a guy who can't manage his body well be selected in the lottery?Why?
Feeling the negative energy of the temporary teammates... Of course Liu Xiu had to appease the wounded hearts of his teammates.

Liu Xiu showed a warm smile, and said loudly to his teammates: "Hello, we will be teammates from now on. In the days to come, I hope you will work hard to express yourself, play well, and strive to get a full guarantee contract!"

Liu Xiu was the last one to come?Not really.

There was also a dark fat man who had just entered the training ground when he saw Liu Xiu firing a map cannon and cursed out a mantra.

"This rookie... strong!"
