"Brother, why haven't you gotten up yet?

Can this be done? Qing'er has cooked the food and put away the things, but you are still lying on the bed. Who am I, the elder brother, or you?"

"I'm awake... I just want to sleep a little longer. If you ask the nanny to make breakfast, wouldn't it mean you don't have to get up so early?"

"The nanny is very nice, but is the breakfast she makes as delicious as Qing'er's?"

"No."

"Hmph, wouldn't it be good for Qing'er to get up early..."

Liu Xiu got up, washed up, and went to the dining room. There was porridge, fried eggs, milk, pancakes, fried vegetables... quite rich.

Class starts at 9 o'clock. Children in another family would probably get up early at 6 o'clock. In the private elementary school where Qing'er went to, all the students were top scorers.

American education, happy education for the poor, and the degree of involution of children from rich families is no less than that of Chinese families in the future.

But the reason why Qing'er got up early was to make breakfast... Liu Xiu joked: "I don't know who my precious sister will be like in the future. She is beautiful, gentle, and has such good cooking skills."

"Brother knows how to flatter..." Qing'er seemed to have an invisible tail rising upwards to the sky.

After a moment of pride, Qing'er thought of something and said: "Brother, you have worked hard for a few days, why are you getting lazy again and running to practice boxing again? You are a basketball player!"

"Qing'er, have you collected the money?"

"No!"

"Then what did you receive?"

"There's nothing to charge... Your coach gave Qing'er a limited edition children's excavator!"

"..."

Liu Xiu started boxing the day before yesterday. Yesterday, the chief assistant coach Kevin Plitcha paid a visit to their home to learn about his current situation. Regarding supervising training, he went in and out of the left ear...but the other party didn't seem to be interested.

I'm willing to give up and go buy the little lolita.

Qing'er was also puzzled: "Brother, Qing'er feels like you prefer boxing?"

"Not really, I prefer playing games on the court rather than fighting. I'm a pacifist."

"Then why, brother, do you practice boxing every day?"

Great, the topic is back!

Liu Xiu squinted her eyes and said, "I am trying to think of ways to earn a dowry for Qing'er!"

"dowry?"

"That's right! The NBA is so dangerous, and there are so many criminals in the Trail Blazers. If I don't know how to fight and get beaten by them, I won't be able to survive in the NBA. Qing'er won't have many excavators as a dowry in the future!"

Lots of excavators!

Qing'er's mind pictured the grand scene of a row of excavators behind her - those really huge excavators!

Qing'er's mouth was filled with tears. After fantasizing for a while, she clapped her hands and said, "Brother, come on and practice! If anyone bullies you, beat them to death!"

"You can't beat him to death. My brother is a law-abiding foreigner."

"Oh... yes, mother said that my brother never hits anyone, he always fights back in self-defense..."

…

"Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.

Age: 21 years old (February 17, 1982)

Height: 188 cm, weight: 95 kg.

Team: Portland Trail Blazers.

Achievements: There are no NBA achievements yet.

Data: NBA data is not available yet.

Belonged to the team...

NBA comprehensive ability evaluation: 70 (to be updated).

The detailed ability evaluation will be updated on October 8th. It is known that the strength evaluation based on the 2002-2003 season NBA standards is: 90...

Available healing value: 1003..."

Portland Carter Cabo Academy... is actually the gate of a private elementary school. Liu Xiu sent Qing'er into the school and looked at the main interface of the system.

'The training camp is finally about to begin! In another three or four days, the healing value will not be enough.'

September 26th, today is the day the Trail Blazers report.

It has been more than a month since I arrived in Portland, and the offseason has come to an end.

In fact, Qing'er has a nanny who can take her to school, but if she is free, Liu Xiu prefers to send her to school by herself. It has been almost a month since Qing'er started school, and Liu Xiu will take her to school by herself as long as she doesn't have to get up early in the morning to practice strength training and Sanda.

The league's official training camp date is October 1, but each team will move ahead a few days.

Some teams, like the Pistons, start gathering their players in the middle of the month, while others, like the Trail Blazers, only require reporting on the 26th.

Only 50 days have passed since August 7th, and Liu Xiu has done a lot.

I trained hard to raise my strength to the level of 89 as judged by the system, and then used the 'strength +1 (training)' prop to raise my strength to 90.

Liu Xiu never wanted to feel the 'wonderful' taste engraved into his muscle memory... but if he had the chance to feel it, he felt that he could be abused.

I thought that the strength aspect was taken care of. With a strength rating of 90, a height of 188 centimeters and a tonnage of about 95 kilograms, plus he is already stronger than ordinary people... it should be enough for a short time.

And he clearly felt that if his strength had improved to his level, it would be difficult to achieve significant improvement through training alone unless he ignored the weight gain.

Therefore, his plan is to ignore this for the time being after his strength reaches 90.

But after using ‘Strength +1 (Training)’ to successfully raise the strength evaluation to 90, and feeling the brutality engraved in the muscle memory, the content of the previous training prompts did not disappear, but changed!

Turned into flexibility training!

His original strength evaluation was 88, which is considered to be the upper reaches of the first-class strength, that is, 85-89. There is obviously a qualitative gap between him and the top-level strength of 90.

The impact on speed is not that great, but the impact on flexibility is greater.

The props given by the system to add physical attributes have the function of maximizing the impact on other physical conditions, and they must also complete the training tasks...

Coincidentally, a very effective training for basketball players to maintain their flexibility is boxing.

Therefore, Liu Xiu spent another two weeks practicing boxing in the past ten days or so.

When the strength is increased from 88 to 89, the impact on flexibility is very small, but the increase from 89 to 90 is already across the range. For a defender, the impact is still large.

At this time, Liu Xiu was glad that he chose this one that he only used in 1989.

I worked hard to practice strength, improve physical fitness, and reduce the impact of flexibility caused by strength improvement... I worked so hard, but I was misunderstood by the coach. The coach came to me a few days ago to blame me.

Liu Xiu had no excuse, and could only swallow the tears of grievance and bitterness into his stomach.

Men must be able to carry it!

'None of this matters. As long as I can complete the tasks assigned by the coaching staff well during the game, it doesn't matter what happens off the field... On the contrary, if I care too much about these things and fail to complete the scheduled training,

If you don't do what you should do, what's the point of satisfying the coach off the field?'

After thinking about what happened in the past period of time, Liu Xiu's thoughts were still firm.

During this period, in addition to improving strength and avoiding the impact of flexibility by completing systematic training tasks, other training that should be performed has not been missed.

One of the post-up training programs is to improve strength. Although Randolph had 'only' an excellent level of post-up play in the summer league, his strength was definitely top-notch.

Liu Xiu's power dominance at the point guard position is definitely not as good as Randolph's power dominance at the power forward position.

But Liu Xiu's strength is already very good, so in the training plan, strength training is quite late, which means that his own strength is already very good. Of course, if there is improvement, it will be better.

Ball control and passing accuracy have also benefited from the improvement in strength.

During this period of time, in addition to physical fitness, Liu Xiu has made significant improvements in three aspects: post-playing, ball control, and passing accuracy.

Training often follows the experience of predecessors.

It is important to have someone to teach you.

As early as before the draft, Liu Xiu felt that his progress in ball control and passing was getting slower and slower. At first, there was improvement after every simulated training, but now it is getting harder and harder to feel that progress.

Recently, I also had this feeling during Liu Xiu’s back-fighting simulation training.

In the past two months, I could feel progress almost every day.

He estimated that this was not a matter of talent. He was not sure during the passing training, but in the post-playing training, the system determined that he had a high talent for post-playing, and he was sure to be able to follow Randolph's post-playing training. Good level... Now that it has slowed down, it means that this training has almost reached its peak. The next step is to either improve the training method yourself, or learn a better training method... No matter which one it is, It's something to be happy about.

The system determines that he can reach the level of post-up play that Randolph taught him through training. When the training effect stagnates and the progress of post-up play slows down, it means one thing - his post-up play has reached an excellent level. Got it!

It’s hard to say in actual combat, but the skills should be enough!

Thanks to the slowdown in his post-up progress, Liu Xiu has spent more time practicing boxing and basic shooting skills in recent days, focusing on the training of basic shooting skills.

Unknowingly, the offseason passed just like that. On the way to the Rose Garden Arena from the elementary school where Qing'er studied, Liu Xiu's most common thought was - there was not enough time, and there was not enough healing value. .
