Healing Basketball Chapter 20

Chapter 20 20. The little emperor of the middle two teenagers (5800 words for collection, happy new year~)

The bad guy of God is getting old!

But the words themselves, James thinks there is nothing wrong, his mature logical thinking allows him to easily understand that this sentence is right.

But he is really not old!

James roared: "I'm only 18! I'm younger than you!"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and replied, "Yes, I'm definitely older than you, I'm very confident in this."

James suspects that Liu Xiu is driving, but the people are relatively simple now. The car has already been driven out, and James has not fully reacted. He just feels speechless.

James himself doesn't know why he is speechless, but he is just angry and speechless now.

Liu Xiu and Wade's summer league debut, James was secretly observing.

Anthony's former partner, Liu Xiu, and Wade, who was grabbed by the **** operator at the fifth overall pick, these two, James was ready to get acquainted as early as after the draft.

Impressed by Wade, with a familiar face. At the beginning of the Orlando Summer League training phase, James has already started to act, and successfully won the favor. In this afternoon's fight, James has verified that the opponent's talent is completely incomparable. Lost to him Lebang.

Liu Xiu, James and Liu Xiu didn't have much interaction before the draft, but the two had common acquaintances, some of which were opponents Liu Xiu met in March Madness.

During the game, although Liu Xiu didn't always think about stimulating the opponent, he didn't have time to spare most of the time, and his strength was there. During the game, he was often engrossed in the game itself... But time-outs, free throws, breaks, etc. When he thinks about it, he will think of ways to stimulate the opponents around him. There are always a few who are impressed by Liu Xiu.

After learning about this, James has been hesitant to get acquainted with Liu Xiu, but tomorrow the Cavaliers will play against the Trail Blazers. James still wants to get to know Liu Xiu before the game, and then pass the test. The competition, let Liu Xiu understand his strength, and conquer Liu Xiu by his personal charm!

James thought so, and then it came, and then... Now so angry!

I don't even know what to say when I say something cruel.

Because Liu Xiu told the truth, he is bigger...

Also, appearance is justice.

Just looking at the looks and the general public's aesthetics, James has never seen anyone who looks better than Liu Xiu, so in this case, James is just irritable, after all, there has been no real conflict.

James finally became irritable, and Liu Xiu liked it, but unfortunately there was no such rampage before the draft. At that time, Liu Xiu led the matter to basketball, and only got 5 healing points.

James couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Jess, aren't you worried about being beaten?"

"Um?"

Liu Xiu looked at James and found that the other party was not maliciously mocking or threatening, but seemed to be really curious about this issue.

James' brain circuit Liu Xiu didn't understand either, but... Liu Xiu said, "Since you asked sincerely, I'll tell you with great compassion..."

James listened to Liu Xiu's long ending and was very curious... After he asked this question, he felt that it was inappropriate and was going to offend people, but the other party didn't seem to be angry because of this, and he was really curious about the reason.

"I fight very well. Last year, I won the Sanda competition in the New York State University Games... Sorry, I have to go to physiotherapy. I'll go back to the locker room first, bye."

James looked at Liu Xiu who had gotten a piece of paper from somewhere and fanned it away as a fan, petrified.

The world view of James has been refreshed - this answer is too disjointed, but it is impeccable!

After Liu Xiu left, Jason Kapono, who came to the scene with James to watch the game, came next to James.

James then remembered the second-round rookie who was selected by the Cavaliers together with him, and asked, "Jason, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a while."

Capono was embarrassed to say that he was hiding from Liu Xiu, did not answer James' question, but said, "LeBron, that guy is not easy to get along with, so don't waste your time contacting him..."

Capono had an impressive game. In the March Madness 32-16 game in March this year, his UCLA opponent was Syracuse University where Liu Xiu was.

Syracuse University was unexpectedly strong, and UCLA lost that game.

In addition to losing, Kapono was most impressed by two things. One was that Liu Xiu stimulated Luke Walton to explode his mind, and the second was that Liu Xiu slapped his college center teammate Goode Hyde with a slap.

"It's not very easy to get along with..." James agreed with this statement, but he had a different opinion: "But he doesn't seem to have anything else besides joking around, not even being mean."

James recalled that Liu Xiu's mouth always had a vague smile, thinking that Liu Xiu had a friend like Anthony in college, and he soon became acquainted with Randolph when he entered the NBA... "Maybe that's just him. Protect your own way.

We are the same rookies, we should encourage each other, everyone will have their own minor flaws, I also have many minor flaws, we should understand each other and make progress together, let our rookies become the strongest in history! "

is that so?

Don't say, James' speech-style speech made Kapono excited and felt very reasonable. He really wanted to follow James and help James accomplish this great thing... Kapono doesn't know why, just thinks this is a great thing.

Capono thinks back, it seems that when Liu Xiu bullied Luke Walton, he didn't say any swear words, and he couldn't even say yin and yang.

Even, after putting aside the 'prejudice', Kapono still thinks Liu Xiu is very polite.

Capono watched Liu Xiu disappear into the player tunnel. He felt that his brain was not enough... He still felt that Liu Xiu was not a good person.

Capono recalled that when there was a conflict after the game, Liu Xiu slapped UCLA center Goode Hyde over with a slap. Although the purpose was to prevent the conflict from continuing to expand... but it was too brutal.

Based on this, Kapono felt that if he was just protecting himself, Liu Xiuzui should not be so flattering, or that there was no need to be so...

In Capono's view, Liu Xiu may be really 'bad', a demon who takes pleasure in bullying people, or a demon with an angelic face.

But what James said, Kapono makes a lot of sense...

Liu Xiu didn't know that James sent him a good person card. He didn't put his mind on James' side. Now everyone is not in the same circle. James belongs to the 'high-end talent group', and Anthony is compared. After the start of the summer league , According to the excellent personal performance and play characteristics of the two, there is a saying of 'new generation magic bird duel'.

Liu Xiu belongs to the 'upset counterattack group', and there may be intersections in the future, but at this stage, Liu Xiu is just trying it out to see if he can lay the groundwork and get more healing points when he fights against James in the future.

Judging from the current situation, it seems a bit difficult. That kind of verbal stimulation without real malice has little effect on James.

He also won't go to great lengths to study how to get healing points from James alone. There are more opponents. If he can get them, he will take them, but if he can't get them, they will be knocked down. What he is working **** now is to accumulate more healing points. Fully open the upgraded system, win the attention of the coaching staff, get more training opportunities and the opportunity to play in the regular season, the NBA has a firm foothold...

Liu Xiu returned to the locker room, and Randolph came up: "Jess, we are going to play against the Cavaliers tomorrow. They have Carlos Boozer. Do you think we have a good chance of winning?"

Liu Xiu asked in surprise: "Zach, you actually started to pay attention to the game, God, I didn't pay attention, did the sun rise from the west today?"

"I also really want to win, okay! It's just that I'm not interested in the previous games. I'm going to play against the No. 1 rookie and Carlos Boozer tomorrow..."

Randolph said this, Liu Xiu remembered it and said, "Carlos Boozer is from Duke, right, you are from the University of Michigan... Are you afraid of him?"

Which university is the strongest in American sports is a matter of opinion, and each has its own reasons.

But when it comes to the NCAA "Grand Slam", there is only one university - the University of Michigan.

Only the University of Michigan has won all four NCAA championships in basketball, football, ice hockey, and baseball.

However, since the release of Jordan in North Carolina and the release of Grant Hill in Duke, when people mention college basketball in the United States, the first reaction is no longer the University of Michigan, UCLA, USC, Kansas, Kentucky, etc. Universities, but It's Duke and North Carolina.

Therefore, in recent years, the athletes of the University of Michigan have met people from the two universities of North Carolina and Duke, just like seeing enemies, and the NCAA has deliberately promoted this hostile tendency...

In this case, Liu Xiu guessed that Randolph should be trying to compete with Boozer, and decisively brought the topic into this direction.

"How could I be afraid of him?" Randolph's voice increased, but then he became cautious: "Jess, don't underestimate Boozer, although he is not a high draft pick, his talent and strength are not inferior to me. In his rookie season, he averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds per game. The Cavaliers gave up Tyron Hill for him. In April last year, he averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 10 games, which was the last month of last year. Eastern Rookie of the Month."

Although Randolph and Boozer didn't play many times in college, there were a few times. Both of them were power forwards with great floor skills. They were similar in height and had a large tonnage. Like, they are all too strong.

Hearing that Randolph knew so much about Boozer's rookie year, Liu Xiu knew that this guy really valued Boozer's opponent.

Liu Xiu nodded and replied, "I know, but no matter how powerful he is, I still think you are the strongest among young insiders, Zach."

Randolph likes this.

As Randolph recognized Liu Xiu's talent more and more, Liu Xiu's compliment gained more and more weight in Randolph's heart, to the point where he could give Randolph his confidence.

In the beginning, Randolph was just because Liu Xiu called him 'Handsang'. He had a bad impression of Liu Xiu, and after that, he got together with Liu Xiu and had a good chat.

This kind of goodwill does not last long.

If Liu Xiu didn't have more things that resonated with Randolph, and if there were no more common topics, they would not be able to play together gradually. Neither of them would be the kind of people who would take the initiative to manage a relationship.

But the fact that Liu Xiu learned to play post-up in minutes made Randolph feel resonated, everyone is a genius!

I'm a genius, I'm lazy, I'm unruly, I don't care about other people's opinions... These self-knowledge always make people with these self-knowledge feel that they are awesome, and it's someone else's problem that others don't understand.

Liu Xiu's praise gave Randolph his confidence all of a sudden. Although he didn't get any advantage from playing against Boozer in college, he didn't suffer any loss.

Changing the subject, Randolph asked, "Jess, did the first-round rookie come to chat with you just now, did he come to make friends with you?"

"He also came to you?"

"Yes, but I don't like him. I think he is hypocritical. I don't know him, but he can always say what I think is nice..."

Liu Xiu knew what Randolph wanted to say, and Randolph thought James was 'pretending'.

Liu Xiu said: "Maybe it is, but who doesn't like nice words?"

Randolph thought it made sense, but he stopped talking about it, and started chatting with Liu Xiu about Empire 2, which he played with last evening.

Liu Xiu and Randolph were chatting about the game, and their eyes swayed around the locker room.

It's been a few days since the Summer League gathered, everyone's mentality in the Blazers team has begun to change, and things have begun to change.

There was more competition, conflicts began to increase, teammates stood firmer, and the hostile atmosphere continued off the field.

I have to say that although Quintel Woods, the future teammate of the official team, can't play in the NBA, but in the summer league, after three games, the overall performance is not weaker than Randolph, the absolute summer league 'strength' level player of.

In terms of performance, Liu Xiu is only the third in the team, and he is in a group with Randolph. On the other side, Quintel Woods also has supportive teammates.

This has nothing to do with whether Liu Xiu and Randolph are more valued. Those who come to play in the summer league all want to play well to win the appreciation of coaches, or to win the appreciation of coaches from other teams, so performance opportunities are more important.

Blazers chief assistant Kevin Plitcha likes to put Liu Xiu and Randolph on the court together. In this way, the point guard and power forward can only do well with Quintel Woods. relation…

In such a situation, Liu Xiu was a little sore at first, but after playing a few games, he found that everyone was working hard, everyone was afraid that their performance would decline, and they all wanted to perform better. Pit, just ignore it.

Opposition or something, the relationship is getting worse and worse, it doesn't matter... When the summer league is over, there is no possibility of seeing each other again in the future.

On July 10th, Orlando Summer League came to the penultimate game day.

LeBron James' performance has brought a very high degree of popularity to this league. He scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in his debut. The evaluation was very high, and it also created the highest popularity since the summer league. Every game after that has been extremely hot.

But unfortunately, since the Orlando Summer League is only in its third year, there are only 6 teams participating, and there are no games in the semi-finals.

To say who can compare with the popularity of James Summer League, only Carmelo Anthony is playing in Southern California Summer League.

The media and pundits have been arguing about who is better between James and Anthony, and today, in one aspect, the two are divided.

Early in the morning, Nike officially announced that it had signed LeBron James with a 7-year, $90 million super-fat contract that created a history of Nike's single endorsement fee!

As soon as the news came out, even the fact that Malone joined the Lakers with a minimum salary, Payton joined the Lakers for two years as a middle-class player, and Kobe and O'Neal formed the shocking Big Four were all affected in the slightest.

But there is only a hint of it. Outside the circle of summer league, the formation of the Big Four by the Lakers is the most shocking thing in the entire basketball world.

Putting it into the entire basketball world, James is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big one. In the end, it is just an endorsement contract.

But the 'world' is narrowed down to this summer league, and that's the craziest thing!

At a restaurant near the TD Waterhouse Center Stadium in Orlando, Liu Xiu and several teammates learned the news while eating.

"Zach, to be honest, I'm really envious." Liu Xiu was very jealous.

Randolph nodded in agreement.

After the playoffs last season, he knew that he had the possibility to play. He was looking forward to getting a big contract after the next three or four years, and his ultimate goal was to earn enough money in his career. Billion Dollars.

Good guy, on James' side, he hasn't played a single NBA game. The rookie contract plus the endorsement contract is more than $110 million!

Randolph is like this, not to mention the few teammates around him.

Reuben Bontje, his goal is to get a few more contracts and make $10 million before leaving the NBA.

Relying on the height of 213 cm, the weight of nearly 120 kg, and the excellent tactical awareness, Ruben Bonteje's goal is possible to achieve, although his strength is very poor.

Travis Outlaw, a high school rookie, is a dreamer. He feels that the salary of the rookie contract is already very high, and he dreams of winning the championship.

Matt Carroll, Slavoka Vonis... Rookies who joined the Blazers summer league team after being undrafted or waived in the late second round. The goal is to get a contract.

Seeing James getting this contract, I was shocked, envious...hostile, all kinds of emotions came out.

At 2:40 p.m., at the Orlando TD Waterhouse Center Stadium, players from the Trail Blazers and Cavaliers have entered the court.

The fans at the scene were very enthusiastic. More than 80% of the 15,000-odd seats were filled. Almost all of the more than 60 players from other teams participating in the Orlando Summer League came to the scene.

The eyes that James felt were mostly not very friendly.

Someone came to congratulate before the game, but few, more jealousy.

Even a calm person like Liu Xiu was jealous when he knew that James would have such a contract, let alone other people.

is not a big deal in the entire basketball world, but in the summer league circle, James has become a thorn in the eyes of all the rookies of the same class, as well as many young players in the second and third grades.

This situation, James has already expected.

He knows that it is not only his opponents who are also new generation players. After he officially enters the NBA, those Mesozoic superstars and veteran superstars may target him more because of endorsement contracts.

But that's what he wants!

In this kind of adversity, he can conquer the opponent and sweep everything, and he can truly conquer the basketball world.

Young people are always very motivated. What James is thinking of now is to adapt to the NBA in one year, become a superstar in two years, and reach the top of the basketball world in three years... Road, he has planned it himself.

The road was blocked, he didn't think about it now.

Now, feeling the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of his opponents in the same summer league, James has a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart - this world, here I come!

Blessed to the heart, James looked at the bench opposite, and the point guard he cared about, Liu Xiu, was looking at him.

This opponent is the one James wants to conquer now! Start here!

Strength is very important, but suitability is the most important.

James just thinks Liu Xiu is one of the most suitable guards for him.

And James likes Liu Xiu's self-confidence.

may not be the strongest, but you must be confident in what you are good at, otherwise how can others dare to trust you unconditionally?

At this moment, James seemed to see Liu Xiu's eyes glowing, he didn't know why, but he felt that if he defeated Liu Xiu at this time, he would be able to conquer this quite individual player of the same class!

has just stepped into the society, Rao is mature like James, and he also has the idea of this kind of heroic movie in the middle school.

On the other side, the subtitles in front of Liu Xiu's eyes that only he could see were written—

"The Tasks section is open.

Trigger object: LeBron James.

Task: A gift for the signing day.

Goal: The host needs to help the Blazers beat the Cavaliers.

Bonus: BUFF: Reverse Conqueror. "

Let's just go to this chapter for today. I'll be playing mahjong later and watching TV with my family… 5800 words. In other words, most of the books on the shelves don't have that many… Ask for tickets!
