23. Next, the team will focus on cultivating you (5200 words)(1/2)
Orlando TD Waterhouse Arena.
On the court, James and Boozer of the Cavaliers were replaced and others were playing; Liu Xiu, Randolph and Quentel Woods of the Trail Blazers were all replaced and others were playing.
The Cavaliers also have Dajuan Wagner on the court. The fans at the scene have a certain understanding of this second-year player who performed very well in his rookie season last season and are looking forward to him shining like he did in the summer league last year.
But no...DaJuan Wagner doesn't seem to be good at playing lately...
But this is not important. What the fans really care about is the previous game. Now it has obviously entered garbage time. It would be great if there is a shocking comeback, but it doesn't matter if there is not. The previous games are exciting enough. We can see such games in the summer league.
It’s not easy. If the last few minutes enter garbage time, it just gives some fans time to leave early.
For this game, there will be more than 10,000 people sitting in the TD Waterhouse Center Stadium, and there will definitely be traffic jams for a while.
There are also a lot of fans who stay at the scene to watch the summer league, and there is a fun thing - predicting who will be the future superstars.
This kind of thing is hard to say. It depends on luck. In the history of the NBA, there have been many parallel imports with high picks, and there have also been many superstars with super low picks. It is more common to rise first and then suppress, or to suppress first and then rise.
If you go to watch the game in the afternoon, most people will definitely be free, and it would be nice to stay and chat with friends.
People watching the game have different mentality, and the players on the court also have different mentality.
Courtside, the Cavaliers bench.
LeBron James is so angry and regretful right now. He should have believed in Jason Kapono, his teammate in the same class and on the same team, and not get close to that guy...
But James was very curious, how could the guy opposite, who was lazily sitting on the bench and drinking an energy drink, use such a tone, such an expression, such an attitude, and say those words... but it was so arresting.
mad?
James recalled every exchange with Liu Xiu. There were not many, but every time he had a deep impression.
Liu Xiu's tone ranged from plain, encouraging, to showing off, to not caring, to doubtful... None of these tones were considered bad, let alone bad.
His expression is a bit 'arrogant', but it's not domineering, not domineering, not surly and unruly... it's just lazy, which makes people feel proud, but if you think about it calmly, you'll find that it's not that annoying.
Thinking of this, James had to admit that that guy was really handsome...
Yes, the other party was older than him, and he recognized it.
Other peers, even those two or three years older than Liu Xiu, find it difficult to be so calm, but James can... In terms of communication, James is often very calm.
There are basically no curse words in what Liu Xiu says, and he always tells the truth.
However, when everything was combined, James was so angry that he almost... turned around and left.
Fortunately, I endured it.
Needless to say, James thought about it and felt that Liu Xiu was really awesome... When this idea came to him, the final whistle sounded.
People always have a fascination for things they don't have, no matter whether that thing is good or not.
When the final whistle sounded, James' newfound affection for Liu Xiu quickly amplified!
He didn't have a good impression of Liu Xiu. Now James still doesn't want to talk to Liu Xiu anymore. He can't be coaxed all the time.
It just means that James' negative emotions quickly eased.
At 4:27 pm, after 1 hour and 27 minutes of play, the Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers 111-94, winning their third victory in the Orlando Summer League!
Randolph had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Quintel Woods had 33 points, Travis Outlaw had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Boozer had 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, James had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists...
Randolph's strong strength, James' unparalleled versatility, Boozer's comprehensive offensive methods, Quintel Woods and Travis Outlaw's outstanding impact, Kapono's precise shooting... this game
, many young talents have shown their talents, that is, their combat prowess.
There were more than 10,000 spectators in this game, and the attention was pretty good. Thanks to James, many reporters came to the scene.
Randolph and Quintel Woods had a rare opportunity to be interviewed after the game.
Of course, the one surrounded by the most reporters is still No. 1 pick James.
As for Liu Xiu, he was interviewed by domestic reporters after the game, but no one paid any attention to it.
There are quite a few reporters from China who come to the United States, but only one or two can go to the scene for interviews. Most of them can only visit the locker room after the game or conduct interviews the next day.
This has always been the case after his winning debut. Liu Xiu is used to it. He is a little envious, but he doesn't worry about it. If you have something, you have it. If you don't have it, there's nothing you can do about it.
His playing style is simple and unattractive, and his statistics are not outstanding. This is perfectly normal.
And he didn't have time to care about it now. After accepting the interview with domestic reporters, Liu Xiu immediately returned to the locker room, went to the toilet, found an empty cubicle, closed the door, and turned on the system screen.
"The task section has been opened.
Trigger object: LeBron James.
Mission: Congratulations on signing day.
Goal: The host needs to help the Trail Blazers defeat the Cavaliers.
Task progress: Completed.
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Reverse Conqueror (BUFF). (Note: The first mission reward has been greatly increased.)"
Liu Xiu was a little excited, the mission was accomplished!
Looking at the 'note' prompt, Liu Xiu was very happy to have completed it. Although he didn't know how big the 'substantial' improvement would be, it didn't matter. It didn't matter how much he improved, as long as he got it, he would lose if he didn't.
.
After reading the system prompts, the interface switched to the 'Talent' section.
There is a new thing in the ‘Talent’ section – the ‘BUFF’ interface!
“Reverse Conqueror (BUFF):
1. When the host performs well on the court, it will always inspire the opponent's competitive spirit.
2. The host’s excellent abilities in all aspects of basketball both on and off the court will always inspire opponents to challenge and surpass their ideas.
(The specific effect depends on the opponent’s character and characteristics.)”
‘…’
Looking at the introduction of this buff, Liu Xiu didn't know what to think.
James used social interaction, speech skills... and various communicative skills that he should not have at his age to pave the way for his conquest in the basketball world.
Liu Xiu looked at himself...it was really healing!
'In short, in a word, anyway, it probably means that others will be dissatisfied no matter what!'
Liu Xiu doesn't know whether to be happy or sad now, which may make it easier for him to accumulate healing points...
'It still doesn't have any effect. I only have the 13th pick in the draft, which is a well-known achievement...? The draft pick seems to be considered an achievement in the NBA's official career statistics...'
Liu Xiu stopped worrying and calmed down. He returned to the main interface of the system to see tonight's healing value prompt.
During the game, teammates gave a total of 279 points, mainly from Tim Carter... As he watched, the healing value from Tim Carter increased by 19 points.
'The coaching staff did a good job in the past three games. Although I played more minutes, the playing time of others was also very stable. Although the relationship became increasingly tense, the overall situation was in a balanced state. I considered this game a good one.
This balance has been broken... Well, it doesn't matter. It seems that the team has already re-recruited the lineup for the Rocky Mountain Summer League later this month. Most of the current lineup will leave...'
As for the opponent, the healing value given is not as much as that of teammates.
There were not many interactions, and most of the opponents' attention tonight was not on him, but on Randolph, Quintel Woods, Travis Outlaw and other players who gave a very direct impact.
The one who provides the most healing value is James.
but……
'This guy really has enough, he only gave 49 points at most...'
…
…
"After tonight's game, I may have to go out for training again."
"The same goes for me. In the first four games, I only played a total of 20 minutes, and I played in garbage time."
"This is life, but I don't want to give up!"
"Yes, that's right, I won't give up either. I believe persistence will definitely pay off!"
"..."
"..."
On the morning of July 11, Liu Xiu arrived at the training ground before the pre-match meeting.
Today's Trail Blazers game is still at 3pm. After the game, the team will be disbanded.
As soon as Liu Xiu arrived, he saw a group of teammates who were about to hit the street talking about the future, encouraging themselves and each other.
Liu Xiu was very moved by this and gave him enthusiastic encouragement: "You have to work hard. There are thousands of roads, and all roads lead to Rome. Only by working hard can you understand that you really can't do it."
Liu Xiu's expression was still lazy, his tone was still gentle, and his previous words were quite encouraging, but suddenly there was a turn, causing several teammates to curse!
"I have long disliked you. Aren't you just selected in the lottery? Why did the coaching staff give you so many preferential treatment... Wendell, why are you holding me back..."
Tim Carter jumped up from the chair and wanted to hit someone, but Liu Xiu still had the same lazy expression with a smile on his face, as if he was not affected, while Tim Carter was also attacked by
Street Group's Wendell Carey pulled.
