"Brother, look, you were selected to the third team of the Orlando Summer League!"

"..."

"Brother, can you still win the Rocky Mountain Summer League in Salt Lake City?"

"..."

"Brother, look, the first overall pick, LeBron James, and the fifth overall pick, Dwyane Wade, meet up for training in Orlando! They are all training together, but you, brother, are paralyzed here.

So lazy!”

"I've been training too! I've been practicing for two hours."

"You were practicing boxing, right? Are you going to the NBA to play basketball or boxing?"

Less than two days after Liu Xiucai returned home, Qing'er started complaining mode.

What she couldn't understand the most was that Liu Xiu didn't do basketball training, but he almost never stopped training in Sanda, boxing, etc. several times a week.

Liu Xiu heard the words and responded: "All of them. People like me may have a hard time playing in the NBA if they don't know how to box."

Qing'er thought of the time Anthony came to their house for dinner and complained about Liu Xiu to her father Cheng Fengwei, and felt that what her unlucky brother said was true.

Not to mention those competitors, as the cutest, virtuous, kind and innocent sister in the world, Qing'er herself would occasionally be so angry at her unlucky brother.

Qing'er discovered that her unlucky brother had a really clear understanding of her...

Seeing Liu Xiu's laziness, Qing'er had no idea what to do. The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was.

The main reason is that the circle Liu Xiu is now in has changed from college basketball to the world's top basketball league. Qing'er pays attention to the top basketball news, and her perception and perception are completely different.

…

A few more days passed, and Qing'er was completely convinced - her unlucky brother was the same as before, and there was no change after entering the NBA!

Should we say that this unfortunate brother has never forgotten his original intention?

Or should we think that this unfortunate brother is hopeless?

But Qing'er doesn't hate that her brother is so lazy. In fact, she quite likes it. She stays at home when she has nothing to do, watching news and videos...

On July 19th, Liu Xiu was about to leave Syracuse for Salt Lake City at noon. Qing'er, who was on summer vacation, prepared meals on time as usual and had lunch with Liu Xiu.

The farewell meal was very sumptuous, with two more dishes than usual at lunch.

After Liu Xiu had eaten and drank enough, he packed up his things and prepared to send his sister to her aunt's company. He had been taking care of her these days... Being taken care of by Qing'er was actually a great help to her uncle and aunt. Now he

When I have to go to work, I naturally have to send Qing'er to my aunt. Later, my uncle and aunt's life and work will have to return to the rhythm of taking care of the children.

After packing her things and going downstairs, Liu Xiu saw Qing'er jumping up and down in the living room...

"Qing'er, what are you doing?"

Qing'er responded while jumping: "Qing...er...is...jumping...high...long...high..."

Regardless of whether there is an inevitable connection between high jumping and growing taller, Liu Xiu asked: "Qing'er, why do you grow taller?"

Qing'er stopped jumping and looked serious: "If you want to grow taller, Qing'er can play basketball. When one day my brother has no basketball to play, Qing'er will play professional games to make money to support his brother and prevent him from starving to death."

"WNBA salaries are not high."

"That's better than nothing. Brother, you are so lazy. What will you do if you don't have a ball?"

"Well... my academic performance is pretty good, and the school is also very good. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job after I stop playing football."

"..."

Qing'er felt like she had been stabbed. She remembered that her bratty brother didn't get into Syracuse University by playing basketball or boxing, but by actually getting into it, and his grades were quite good.

For most other college basketball players, the better they play, the worse their academic performance becomes.

The better you play, the more time you devote to basketball and the less time you devote to other things. Situations like O'Neal and Duncan are still relatively rare.

But Liu Xiu is even rarer than those rare examples. When he was in his junior year, he even went to learn musical instruments when he had nothing to do. Then his playing became better and better, his grades were as good as ever, and he was still cultivating his own interests.

Hobbies... Now Liu Xiu can just wait for the defense of her graduation thesis. She already has enough credits.

Qing'er's academic performance is very good, but! The smelly brother is about to graduate from college, and all the hardships and fatigue are over. And she, Cheng Qing'er, who has been teaching bilingual teaching since she was a child and has no chance to struggle at all, is still there.

In elementary school, the suffering has just begun!

…

Half an hour later, downstairs in the studio where Liu Xiu's aunt worked, Qing'er saw off her unlucky brother. She was reluctant to part with her at first, but when she thought about Liu Xiu's graduation from university, she didn't want to see Liu Xiu for a long time.

But things still need to be done...

After Liu Xiu left, Qing'er and her mother got together and looked at the map and city manual: "Mom, what do you think of me getting admitted to this school?"

"It's quite close to the Rose Garden Arena. Your brother can pick you up and drop you off. It's not bad... But this school is also okay. I've seen this school in the news. A few years ago, a Nobel Prize winner came from here.

Yes, it seems to be the Nobel Prize in Mathematics?”

"Mom, there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics, and even if there is a prize, it will be a student of this school decades ago, right? But the rating of this school is quite high..."

Qing'er is discussing with her mother which school to transfer to. The targets are all schools that require entrance exams or have financial sponsorship. The way for her to enroll is naturally to prepare for entrance exams.

Qing'er's mother initially rejected the idea of ​​her precious daughter, but in the past few days, Liu Xiu has been helping at home... being taken care of by Qing'er. Qing'er's mother is actually not busy at work these days, and her father is not busy at work either.

.

The couple has been going out on dates from time to time in the past few days. It feels like the second spring of love has exploded, and they have begun planning for a second child.

So both of them thought they could send Qing'er there.

Seeing Liu Xiu's lazy look, as an uncle and aunt, I was still very worried, so I planned to send the most responsible person in the family to take care of my precious nephew.

…

…

Salt Lake City is a great place, with a low crime rate, a well-organized city, and a good environment...but it has no human flavor.

There are quite a lot of people here, but there is very little communication with each other. There are many believers here, and they are extremely exclusive of people of different faiths. They are not very friendly to people of color... In other words, the Trail Blazers come here to spend money.

Only service staff can give customers smiles.

Liu Xiu came here yesterday and quickly felt the awkwardness of this city.

But it doesn't matter. He has no interest in coming here to play. He comes here once or twice a year. He doesn't care what it is like here...if he has to come, it's not impossible.

Locals shouldn't be so indifferent to players from well-known teams in their own city, right?

The Rocky Mountain Summer League is the second longest existing summer league. It was established in 1984, second only to the Southern California Summer League.

This year, 11 teams have signed up to participate. The Jazz are the organizers, and the other 10 teams are: Trail Blazers, Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Spurs, Bulls, Knicks, and Pacers.

, 76ers.

Early this morning, Liu Xiu followed the coaching staff to the Pepsi Center in Salt Lake City. The training venue provided by the Jazz to the Trail Blazers is a training ground in this gymnasium.

Maurice Cheeks didn't know where he was going after arriving in Salt Lake City. Chief assistant coach Kevin Plitcha was introducing Liu Xiu: "Jac, you may be more accustomed to playing in this game."

"I'll get more used to it?"

"Yes, almost all Rocky Mountain Summer League teams will not bring NBA players other than rookies, and Development League players will not bring players with more than 3 years of playing experience. Most of them are college students and undrafted rookies. This is the place.

A stage for young players to truly pursue their dreams.

This time, the 15 people on our team, except for you, Matt, and Travis, are all players who have just left college and college students from Utah and surrounding states. Most of them are functional players... There is no such thing in this event.

All bonuses and income will be used to support university education..."

Liu Xiu looked at his temporary teammates, whose faces were obviously more youthful than those in the Orlando Summer League, and then looked at his own summer league ability evaluation, and he understood.

He was wondering just now, just after a few days of rest, how could his ability evaluation in the summer league improve so much?

"Host ability evaluation: 87 (summer league), 76 three-pointers, 80 mid-range shots, 94 layups, 91 ball control, 85 passing accuracy, 87 speed, 90 strength..."

There is also a difference in strength in the summer league!

Although the Orlando Summer League has just started, it is precisely because it has just started and there are not so many agreed-upon rules. The Magic will even find a group of old basketball hooligans to support the scene. Liu Xiu feels that the overall strength of the real fight is better than that of the Rockies.

Summer League is even higher!

In addition to him, Travis Outlaw and Matt Carroll's ability evaluations have also improved compared to the Orlando Summer League.

'Is this what Lan Fatty is talking about? No wonder he is so worried about the gap between me entering the NBA after playing in the Rocky Mountain Summer League.'

'However, the players we are looking for are functional undrafted players and functional college students. The college students are not looking for top players, that is, they are all working as sparring partners for the selected players. No wonder the coaching staff and Lan Pang attach great importance to this summer league.

I brought help.'

Kevin Pritchar introduced the specific situation of the Rocky Mountain Summer League and explained some things that Liu Xiu didn't know.

After Kevin Pritchar finished speaking, Liu Xiu responded: "Thank you coach, I understand. I will seize the opportunity to polish my skills."

A handsome face, a gentle smile, a tone of thanks, and polite words...Kevin Pritchar admires this very much about Liu Xiu.

Just too lazy!

besides……

Kevin Pritchar was about to say something more to Liu Xiu when Liu Xiu's phone rang. He said sorry and went to answer the phone.

Kevin Pritchar did not leave. He planned to wait for Liu Xiu to finish the phone call before talking to Liu Xiu about getting along with others...

"Oh, my dear sister, I have arrived at the training ground and I am not late. You know I am never late or leave early.

Teammates? Teammates are very ordinary. Their talents and abilities are far away from professional players. I am better than them without training. I admire them for working hard for their dreams. However, some things cannot be achieved without hard work.

of……"

Qing'er on the other end of the phone was confused as she listened to her stinky brother speaking English. What she said... What did she ask? Didn't she ask anything?
