Healing Basketball

Chapter 11
Maurice Cheeks, who was fishing, nearly fell off his chair.

This rookie...has the prettiest face in the audience, speaks the most heart-warming words in the gentlest tone.

Liu Xiu's words, put on other occasions, may not be a particularly big problem.

But in the summer league team, no matter how good the tone, attitude, or good looks, anyone who hears it will know that it is a mockery.

In addition to the way they looked at Liu Xiu just now, and the discussion that did not lower their voices at all...

Everyone knew that this was Liu Xiu's counterattack.

This is much more lethal than those people's eyes and discussions!
Maurice Cheeks stood up and clapped his hands as the players might run away.

Liu Xiu guessed that someone might stand up and even prepare for a conflict.

The most likely is Quintelle Woods, the 2002st pick in the 21 first round.

Although I don't know why this player with a contract seems the most unhappy, no accident, if someone jumps out, it is most likely this... But Maurice Cheeks clapped his hands and already took his left foot Quintelle Woods puts his foot back... the kind of freaked out.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's warm up first, Kevin, you make arrangements for project group training." After Maurice Cheeks finished speaking, he continued to fish.

Morris Cheeks easily prevented a possible conflict.

Today is the assembly day. Most of the Trail Blazers summer league team came here to look for work. Although it was very uncomfortable, on the first day, everyone's emotions were very restrained and they didn't want to be taken as a thorn in the side.

Quintel - Woods did not jump out the first time, others will endure.

What if?What if that rookie is really a blessing?
There is no other way but to comfort myself.

"Our coach seems to be quite dignified in the hearts of official players, which is not the same as what Bill said in the news..."

Of course Liu Xiu was happy that there was no conflict.

"Healing value +91, from Quintelle Woods."

"Healing value +65, from Eric Barkley."

"Healing value +39, from Tita Carter."

"..."

"..."

"The available healing value is 5113 points."

Join the new team and win the first wave of healing!
Now that the new team has just been formed, every player in the team who is looking for a job is in the most anticipated stage.

In the future, even if it is just a group training, there will definitely be lower expectations and lower confidence... This will eliminate people, maybe someone will be eliminated today, and the day after tomorrow, the summer league will start on July 7th, definitely not Maybe more than 7 people all went to play the game.

Compared with many newcomers who don't know what to do after being selected, Liu Xiu has already inquired about these things.

Generally speaking, there are two days of preparation time before the start of the summer league. The first day is the individual test, and the second day is the team training test. People are constantly eliminated in the middle until the team is reduced to 15 people. Not all have the chance to play in summer league.

It's not just that teams can give up players at will, players have to leave, if it's just a summer league contract, players can leave at any time.

It's sloppy, it's brutal, it's casual.

But that's the thing. NBA teams don't have such high expectations for finding treasures in the summer league. They will try, but the most important thing in the summer league is to train new players.

So Liu Xiu had the opportunity to break the gun decisively, and this opportunity was not created by himself, but delivered to his door - when he changed his jersey and came out of the locker room, many people showed strange eyes because of his figure. , the words that did not lower his voice also disgusted him.

Liu Xiu decisively guided him towards things related to basketball, and got the healing value, and Liu Xiu let out another breath.

However, there are a total of more than 20 temporary teammates, not all of them gave healing values.

Yesterday Liu Xiu got a list from Bill Duffy. Most of the players in the Trail Blazers summer league team have information, but there are a few that are not there. It is included in the summer league team.

Comparing the data, Liu Xiu has been observing the reactions of his temporary teammates since he first came in.

Under the trainer's signal, Liu Xiu was about to go to the gym for warm-up preparations, and just turned around, she was shocked!
A fat black man was bowing his waist, trying to stare at him with his almost invisible neck!
Randolph actually came to participate in the summer league!This guy will be in the third grade next season, he's going to be a bit miserable.

There is no Randolph in the information given by Bill Duffy, most of them are pure summer league contracts, probably because he did not expect Randolph to be arranged to participate in the summer league.

But is this a fight?No, Fatty Lan's eyes should be curious, Liu Xiu took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, handsome guy, hello, I'm Jess."

handsome guy!

This is the first time Randolph has encountered this way of greeting, but he likes this word!
Take a closer look, Liu Xiu's body shape...their passer-by body shape is quite rare in the NBA.

Like this kind of thing, it will come soon.

"Hi, I'm Zach, you're new here, right? Just ask me if you don't understand anything."

Randolph's response was quite enthusiastic.

Looking at Randolph who turned around and walked towards the gym, Liu Xiu didn't expect to say hello casually, and the other party was so... This is the US version of 'but he called me a crush'?
……

While Liu Xiu and Randolph were warming up, other players had already started various tests with the help of assistant coaches, trainers, and staff.

Only Liu Xiu and Randolph had just arrived, and they didn't even do their warm-up work well.

When Liu Xiu finished warming up and came out, he saw that Randolph had already started training.

"Oulou! Ouchiet! Summer league, summer league again..."

While practicing Randolph while spraying.

People from the coaching staff passed by, and there was no reaction, which seemed to be expected...

'This team is really interesting...'

Liu Xiu recalled the reactions of Quintelle Woods and Randolph to the coaching staff.

'The most important thing is to do your own thing well first. '

Talking about talking, Liu Xiu was very serious about the warm-up and test sessions, trying her best to show her strengths.

Unlike Liu Xiu's expectation that many people would come to him to provoke him. At the end of the day, although he hadn't exchanged a word with some of his temporary teammates, it seemed that there was a natural boundary between him and some of his teammates, except for the occasional one or two words of ridicule. Or provocative, no one really broke his face, including Quintel Woods, who has been unhappy with him since he came to the training ground.

I just joined the summer league team and didn't want to cause trouble on the first day, I stepped into the society for a few years and became more mature, the initial discomfort passed and then I calmed down... These possibilities, Liu Xiu thinks, may all be there.

Also, not everyone is against him.

He still met a few teammates and had exchanges.

The No.20 third pick in the same session, Travis Outlaw, a high school rookie, is a small forward with a criminal name, but he looks like a good baby.

Although Liu Xiu's words just now were a bit vicious, but looking at the harmless appearance of humans and animals, he looks good-looking. Tello chose Liu Xiu's side.

This year's undrafted pick Matt Carroll, a brown-haired senior with a Lee Rock-style hairstyle, is a tall white shooting guard of 198 cm.

Ruben Bontje, a player who entered the NBA in the second round of the 2001 class, is a standard big center with a height of 213 cm and a weight of 117 kg.

Also, Randolph, who has been complaining and complaining all day, was in the same small gang as Liu Xiu on the first day.

At the end of the day, most of the temporary teammates hadn't spoken yet, and Liu Xiu didn't care.

These more than 20 temporary teammates, most of them, may never see them in their lifetime after this summer league.

This is not a high probability, but for sure...

At 4 p.m., the day's testing ends.

Liu Xiu, Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, Randolph, and Ruben Bontje stood together to form a small team.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but these five people happened to be from number one to number five.

"The environment in Orlando is really good. There are many museums and parks. Let's go shopping and find a place to have dinner?" Liu Xiu sent an invitation to the few people who communicated the most during the day.

"I still have to train for a while to prepare for the game the day after tomorrow."

"I'm going to talk to my trainer about my baseline runback..."

Matt Carroll, Travis Outlaw, and Ruben Bontej all stayed and continued training for various reasons.

Liu Xiu and Randolph left the training field. It seemed that except for the two of them, no one left after the training arranged by the coaching staff.

"Zach, do we want to go back and show what we've done?"

"Ah... yeah, no one left, but, Jess, I've shown everything I know, and there's nothing left to show, how about you?"

"Everything I know is also shown."

Liu Xiu and Randolph looked at each other, and they felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Yeah!Everyone is lazy, why bother to pretend to be a hard worker?
Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to pretend for a day or two and show your stuff behind?

……

……

After sitting in the car for a day, I thought I would arrive at 7 o'clock, but I didn't get home until almost 9 o'clock. My whole head was muddled. Fortunately, I wrote a chapter after resting for a while, without interruption.

Get a good night's sleep tonight, and resume two shifts tomorrow~ It's always so troublesome to go home for the New Year, so bear with me~
