The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 10, crazy training, two skills!
When Xue Ding signed the contract, the system also reminded him that the task of entering the NBA has been completed!

After returning to the apartment that Tom rented for Xue Ding, Xue Ding looked at the harvest of this period of training and the rewards for completing the task!

After Xue Ding returned from time travel for more than two months, he insisted on training almost every day.

Diligent training made Xue Ding's various attributes slightly improved compared to when he first crossed over.

The most obvious thing is that the talent has also changed from level 0 of the turtle to level 1 of the turtle.

Dunk Tianzun (LV5) is an advanced version of the skill rewarded for mission completion.

"Dunk Tianzun" shows that as long as Xue Ding can activate the dunk, no matter how high the block is, the inside line will be dunked.
The style of play is brutal, but Xue Ding doesn't really want to follow Westbrook's route!
It's cool to dunk often, but it also means injuries. Westbrook's several serious injuries are examples.

In the Trail Blazers, the most important thing is not to get injured.

At that time, Xue Ding told the president that it was not a joke to replace the Blazers team medical team.

Xue Ding knew that the "Big Three" Roy, Aldridge, and Oden, who had high hopes for the Blazers in their previous life, were all suffering from injuries during the Trail Blazers period, and Roy and Oden even retired due to injuries.

The history of the Blazers in recent years can be summed up in cups.

The Blazers were even more miserable in the year Roy retired. Brandon Roy retired, Aldridge was reimbursed for the season, interspersed with team infighting, Oden was scrapped, McMillan dismissed get out of class, and the starting lineup went five times before the trade deadline. Second.

If it weren't for injuries, they might have won the championship!

Of course, that kind of situation cannot be completely relied on the Trail Blazers team doctors, but as an important team behind the team, the Blazers failed to rise to the expected heights until they fell into depression, and the medical team is to blame! ! !

Therefore, Xue Ding didn't dare to get hurt, and couldn't follow Westbrook's path.

Xue Ding's current advantages are fast speed, super ability to attack the basket, and strong finishing ability under the basket, but he is very good at mid-range and three-pointers.

Xue Ding now needs to strengthen a lot.

First of all, in terms of shooting, don't really be like Westbrook in the previous life. In his rookie season, he shot 30.00% from the field. A guard who has no shooting ability is too disadvantaged.

Simmons, Rondo, etc. are Xue Ding's negative teaching materials.

The day after the contract was signed, the Trail Blazers officially held a press conference.

"The contract is finalized, the Blazers' 4-year contract is finalized Xue Ding! "

"Goodbye China!The best young player confirmed to wear the Blazers No. 1 jersey to log in to the NBA! "

"Roy: I know Xue, he is also from the University of Washington, and I am looking forward to working with him in the new season. "

"Yao Ming: Xue Ding has taken the initiative to communicate with me. His character is very suitable for the NBA, and he will be successful. "

On the second day after the press conference was held, domestic newspapers and news websites were overwhelmingly filled with the news that Xue Ding had officially joined the Trail Blazers with a four-year contract.

With fewer and fewer Chinese in the NBA, the appearance of Xue Ding is undoubtedly the successor to the expectations of fans watching the NBA after Yao Ming was injured.

However, the team that Xue Ding joined was the Blazers hated by many Chinese fans.

The Blazers star Brandon Roy is the Rockets' bitter master!

The game that Roy left the deepest impression on Chinese fans, and should also be the most impressive game for himself, was undoubtedly the ball that beat the Rockets in overtime on November 2008, 11.

At the time when the Rockets were visiting the Rose Garden, Roy hit a fallback jumper at the last moment, leaving the Rockets with 1.9 seconds left. Unexpectedly, Yao Ming made a jumper and caused Roy to foul and made an additional penalty, giving the Rockets a 0.8-99 lead with 98 seconds left. 1 point.

When Yao Ming thought he was going to complete the first lore in his career.

But it was this 0.8 seconds that made a miracle.

After receiving the ball from a super long distance outside the three-point line, Roy made a direct shot. The ball crossed an incredible arc and shot through the Rockets' net like a guided missile.

After the game, everyone thought that using "lore" to describe Roy's ball seemed a bit bleak, but it should be called the lore of lore!

Years later, the ball is still considered by some experts to be one of the most difficult to replicate classic lore in league history.

So Chinese fans hate and love Roy!
And Xue Ding joined such a Trail Blazers team.

The Blazers are not big, but a strong team, a team that can hit the Western Conference Finals on paper.

Whether a rookie has a good growth environment is the key to whether the rookies can stand out. If it is not fat, it means competition.

The outside world believes that although Xue Ding has signed the contract, no one can guarantee how many chances he will play!
But Xue Ding himself never worried about this, he is a man destined to become a superstar!
Who said it's not good to be a strong team?Wait until the fish belly can play?
The big team faces many problems. First of all, their team environment is quite bad, and they have lost their winning culture.

Although in weak teams, rookie players get more opportunities.In a bad environment, rookies are also likely to lose confidence and even give up on themselves.

Xue Ding worried about playing time?He might as well train and improve himself, the opportunities are all snatched by himself.

At a time when the domestic media are all reporting Xue Ding's news.

Xue Ding has already started special training under the arrangement of the Blazers.

In his rookie season, Xue Ding faced many challenges, and he urgently needs to improve himself in all aspects.

With talent, you have to work harder.

It's July, and for veteran players, they are still enjoying their holidays.

But for Xue Ding, his vacation will only be spent on the basketball court.

And Tom is also actively communicating with big bosses from all walks of life in China. Many Chinese businessmen aim at Xue Ding, who is more handsome than Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming!
As for the sneaker contract, Anta, Nike, Li Ning, 361, Adidas and other sneaker manufacturers have contacted Tom and issued their own quotations.

Because the endorsement prices for sneakers were very low, Xue Ding refused.

Xue Ding's approach may lose some short-term benefits!
But Xue Ding has this self-confidence. When he wants to shine in the NBA arena, those sneaker manufacturers will obediently offer contracts worth several times.

In terms of other endorsements, Xue Ding first picked up a brand that does not need to shoot advertising videos for the time being.

Jason! ^_^ This condom brand readily paid 50 US dollars to Xue Ding.

When signing the endorsement contract for Guanggao, Xue Ding got a condom that he might not be able to use up in 5 years.
inside the training ground.

Xue Ding is focusing on strengthening his shooting training.

The muscles on his body are already well-developed, and if he continues to train his body muscles, it will affect his coordination!
Through this period of training, Xue Ding has completely understood the difference between his previous talent and his current talent!
The present self has an infinite future! !

Because it is the offseason and there are no other players in the training hall, Xue Ding endures loneliness and improves himself every day.

The performance of the Trail Blazers youth team last season gave people a bright feeling. They not only achieved an excellent record of 54 wins and 28 losses (the best record in the past 9 years), but also returned to the playoffs after a lapse of 6 years stage.

But youth is a double-edged sword. Inexperienced, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, thus fulfilling the Rockets' wish to break the curse in the first round!
This summer, in addition to the three rookies selected this year, including himself, the Blazers also have many iterations of personnel, Rodriguez (PG), Frye (PF), Diogu (PF), Shavik Randolph (PF) Those four just left the team.

Although the Blazers lost a lot of players, the departure of those people was not as good as the impact of Miller's joining on the Blazers.

According to media reports, the former assist king will greatly relieve Roy's ball-handling pressure on the offensive end, making him more comfortable on the offensive end.

And Howard, Pendergraf and others will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the fourth position.

Compared with last season, the strength of the Blazers has been significantly enhanced.

As for these changes, not many people think that the addition of Xue Ding, a rookie, will bring too much improvement to the team!

In the first year, the fans asked Xue Ding to enter the rotation!
Xue Ding ignored these views and remarks.

Shooting drills for two consecutive months.

Xue Ding has mastered the skills of "Precision Shooter LV1", his shooting percentage has improved slightly, at least much more accurate than the rookie Westbrook! !

《精准射手》一共是LV1到LV5，能力大概是：得到球后在中远距离跳投，投篮命中率增加2%/4%/6%/8%/10%，一定程度上无视干扰！

Don't underestimate the fact that it is only 10% to reach the full level. 10% is the difference between ordinary players and super giants.

It is very difficult for Xue Ding to improve by one point now! ! !

He has to hone it through countless hours and sweat.

When Xue Ding felt that the shooting training was about the same, Xue Ding asked to play in the summer league to find out the feeling of the game through the game!
