   Chapter 25 25. Best Leveling Location

   "Look brother, you were selected to the third team of the Orlando Summer League!"

  “…”

   "Can you still win the Rocky Mountain Summer League brother in Salt Lake City?"

  “…”

"Brother, look, the No. 1 pick LeBron James and the No. 5 pick Dwyane Wade have an appointment to train in Orlando! They're all training for a while, but brother, you're paralyzed here, Too lazy!"

   "I also trained! I practiced for two hours."

   "You are practicing boxing, okay! Are you going to the NBA to play basketball or boxing?"

  Liu Xiucai returned home less than two days ago, and Qinger turned on the Tucao mode.

   What she couldn't understand the most was that Liu Xiu didn't do basketball training, but the training in Sanda, boxing, etc. a few times a week was almost uninterrupted.

  Liu Xiu heard the words and replied: "All right, people like me, if they can't fight in the NBA, it may be difficult to get along."

  Qing'er thought that when Anthony came to their house for dinner once, he complained about Liu Xiu's content 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 naive younger sister in the world, Qing'er herself would occasionally be enraged by her unfortunate brother.

  Qinger found that the unfortunate brother has a clear understanding of himself...

  Looking at Liu Xiu's lazy look, Qing'er couldn't do anything about it, the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch.

   The main reason is that Liu Xiu's current circle 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.

  …

   It's been a few days again, and Qing'er has completely overcame it - her unfortunate brother is the same as before, nothing has changed because of entering the NBA!

   It should be said that this unfortunate brother has not forgotten his original intention?

   Or should you think that this unfortunate brother is hopeless?

   But Qing'er doesn't hate her brother being so lazy, in fact, she likes it quite a bit. She just stays home when she has nothing to do, watching news, watching videos...

   On July 19th, Liu Xiu will leave Syracuse City for Salt Lake City at noon. Qing’er, who is on summer vacation, will cook on time as usual and have lunch with Liu Xiu.

   The farewell meal was very rich, with two more dishes than usual for lunch.

After Liu Xiu had eaten and drank enough, he packed up and prepared to send his sister to his aunt's company. He is taking care of him these days... Being taken care of by Qing'er is actually a great help to his aunt and uncle. Now he wants to When I went to work, I naturally had to send Qing'er to my aunt. Later, my aunt and aunt's life and work had to return to the rhythm of taking care of the children.

  Liu Xiu, who packed up and went downstairs, saw Qinger jumping up and down in the living room...

   "Qinger, what are you doing?"

  Qing'er jumped and replied: "Qing...er...is...jumping...high high...long...high high..."

   Regardless of whether the high jump is necessarily related to being taller, Liu Xiu asked, "Qinger, why are you getting taller?"

  Qing'er stopped dancing, with a serious expression: "I want to grow taller to play basketball. When my brother doesn't have a ball to play one day, I will play professional games and earn money to support my brother, so that my brother will not starve to death."

   "The WNBA doesn't pay well."

   "That's better than nothing, brother, you are so lazy, what will you do after you don't play?"

   "Well... I have good grades in my studies, and the school is also very good. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job after graduation if I don't play football."

  “…”

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

  Other college basketball players, the better they play, the worse their academic performance.

  The better you play, the more time you spend on basketball and the less time you spend on other things. It's rare for O'Neal and Duncan.

But Liu Xiu is even rarer than those rare cases. When he was a junior, he even went to learn an instrument when he was idle, and then he played better and better, and his grades were as good as before, and he was still cultivating his interest. Hobbies... Now Liu Xiu just needs to wait for the defense of her graduation thesis, and the credits are long enough.

  Qinger's academic performance is very good, but! Brother stinky is about to graduate from college, all the hardships and fatigue are over, and since childhood, she has no chance to struggle and has started bilingual teaching since she was a child.

  …

   After half an hour, downstairs in the studio where Aunt Liu Xiu worked, Qing Er sent off this unfortunate brother. She was very reluctant, but thinking about Liu Xiu's graduation from University, she didn't want to see Liu Xiu for a long time.

   But things still have to be done…

  After Liu Xiu left, Qinger and her mother gathered together to look at the map and the city manual: "Mom, what do you think of my entrance exam to this school?"

"It's very close to the Rose Garden Arena, you can let your brother pick you up, not bad... But this school is also fine. I have seen this school in the news. A few years ago, a Nobel Prize winner came from here. , like a Nobel Prize in mathematics?"

   "Mom, there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics, and even if there is an award, it is a student from this school decades ago, right? But this school's rating is quite high..."

  Qing'er is discussing with her mother which school to transfer to. The goal is to be a school that requires entrance examinations or has financial sponsorship. Her way of admission is naturally to prepare for entrance examinations.

  Qinger's mother rejected the idea of ​​her precious daughter at first, but in the past few days, Liu Xiu helped at home... She was taken care of by Qinger, Qinger's mother was not busy with work these days, and her father was not busy either.

  The couple have been going out on dates from time to time these days, and it feels like the second spring of love has erupted, and the second child has begun to be planned.

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

  Looking at Liu Xiu's lazy appearance, as an aunt and uncle, she is still very worried, so she plans to send the most responsible person in the family to take care of her precious nephew.

  …

  …

  Salt Lake City, good place, low crime rate, clean city, good environment... impersonal.

There are quite a lot of people here, but there is very little communication with each other. There are many believers here, and people of different beliefs are extremely excluded. They are not very friendly to people of color... That is, the Trail Blazers came here to consume and serve Staff will give consumers a smile.

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

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

   The locals should not be so indifferent to the players of the famous teams in their own cities, right?

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

This year, 11 teams have signed up for the competition, with the Jazz as the host and the other 10 teams: Trail Blazers, Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Spurs, Bulls, Knicks, Pacers , 76ers.

   This morning, Liu Xiu followed the coaching staff to the Pepsi Center in Salt Lake City. The training ground provided by the Jazz to the Trail Blazers is one of the training grounds in this gym.

  Maurice Cheeks didn’t know where to go after arriving in Salt Lake City. Chief assistant Kevin Plitcha was introducing Liu Xiu: “Jess, you may be more used to this game this time.”

   "I'll be more used to it?"

"Yes, the Rocky Mountain Summer League teams will almost never bring NBA players other than rookies, and G League players will not bring players with more than 3 years of playing experience. More college students and undrafted rookies are here. A stage for young players to truly pursue their dreams.

The 15 people on our team this time, except you, Matt, and Travis, the others are players who have just left college and college students from Utah and surrounding states, mostly functional players... There is no prize money for this event , and all of the income will be used to support university education…”

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

   Just now he was wondering, he just rested for a few days, how did the ability evaluation of the summer league improve so much?

   "Host Ability Rating: 87 (Summer League), 76 three-pointers, 80 mid-range shots, 94 layups, 91 ball control, 85 pass accuracy, 87 speed, 90 strength..."

  Summer League is also different in strength!

Although the Orlando Summer League has just started, it is precisely because it has just started that there are not so many conventions and regulations. The Magic team will even find a group of old football ruffians to support the scene. The overall strength of the real fight, Liu Xiu feels that it is better than Rocky Mountain. Summer League is higher!

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

  ‘Lan Fat is talking about this situation, right? No wonder he was so concerned that I would have a gap in the NBA after I played in the Rocky Mountain Summer League. ’

'However, the players they were looking for were functional undrafted and functional college students, and the college students did not find those top players, that is, they were all sparring for the selected players. No wonder the coaching staff and Lan Fatt attached great importance to this summer league. I bring help. ’

  Kevin Plitcha introduced the specifics of the Rocky Mountain Summer League and explained some things Liu Xiu didn't know.

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

   Handsome face, gentle smile, thankful tone, polite wording... Kevin Plitcha appreciates Liu Xiu very much.

   is just too lazy!

and also…

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

  Kevin Plitcha didn't leave, he was going to wait for Liu Xiu to finish the phone call and then talk to Liu Xiu about getting along with people...

   "Oh, my dear sister, I'm already at the training ground and I'm not late, you know I'm never late or leave early.

   Teammate? My teammates are very ordinary. Their talents and abilities are a bit far from professional players. I am better than them without training. I appreciate their hard work for their dreams, but there are some things that cannot be achieved by hard work... "

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

  Here on the phone, Kevin Prittcha has a mouthful of old blood in his throat... Here we go again! Start again!
