Chapter 6, too extravagant

Compared to draft picks, which are a clearly defined quantitative metric, the trade value of players can actually fluctuate significantly. For players like Banchero-Wells, if they are placed on the Trail Blazers and the Microsoft tycoon owner dislikes them, even to the extent of not wanting to see Banchero-Wells wearing their team's jersey on the court, then Banchero-Wells would be worth nothing to their team

His personal offensive style mainly relies on overpowering with weight, shooting after receiving the ball, seizing opportunities to drive to the basket, or cutting in to receive the ball after passing it out.

June 27, 2003, the morning after the draft conference

Morris-Chicks was astonished, did the general manager of his own company act impulsively out of a competitive spirit?

But this has nothing to do with the thirteenth pick, right

The NCAA is the pinnacle of amateur basketball, without exception. Although Syracuse University has been weak in sports for many years, it is worth mentioning that the last time Syracuse University won the NCAA Division I national championship was in the 1960s. The university's football team is on the verge of disbandment. However, the basketball program has consistently performed well, although it had never won a championship before acquiring Anthony.

Only by competing against opponents can one obtain greater healing value

But it doesn't matter, even if it makes others so angry that they want to jump up and hit someone... is he still afraid of getting into a fight?

Having made up his mind, Liu Xiu commenced the simulation training, and his consciousness truly fell into a deep slumber

Fortunately, not everything has been deducted; there are still over 4000 points left. Otherwise, it would be impossible to simulate training, which would be quite frustrating. Wouldn't that mean I would have to train in person?

Ability evaluation 60 - 69 (Pass), 70 - 79 (Good), 80 - 84 (Excellent), 85 - 89 (First-class), 90 - 94 (Top-notch), 95 - 99 (Super Top-notch)

I initially did not intend to select him in the lottery area, as Banchero's trade value is much higher for the Grizzlies than the thirteenth pick in the draft

The system upgrade has been completed (some new features are now enabled)

It is simple and practical

But does having a limit on efficiency mean one should not train? Certainly not; one can simply invest more time in training. Some individuals have better physical stamina, and with the same efficiency, the longer the training time, the greater the training results achieved.

He is not the type to play the entire game; first, he should have the ability to enter the game, and then consider more aspects.

... ...

Therefore, when it comes to player trades, the Memphis Grizzlies may consider certain players as valuable assets, while the Portland Trail Blazers may not find them as appealing.

In the summer league, it all comes down to individual ability. There are still about ten days left, and sharpening the spear at the last moment is not effective. I am just a rookie, and having shortcomings is normal. It is important to showcase my strengths; worrying about what I lack is of no use.

In my memory, he was a tall and handsome guy when he first arrived in the United States. Now, compared to the members of the basketball team, he genuinely feels that he has gained weight

But in reality, he does not possess such extravagant abilities

However, when others were so angry that they were jumping up and down, Liu Xiu felt a bit pleased... He estimated that this healing referred to himself

Fundamental Training in Ball Control, Fundamental Training in Shooting, Fundamental Training in Passing

Well, Liu Xiu is no longer entangled

At that stage, for Liu Xiu, honing the fundamental skills was more important than enhancing physical strength

Due to the numerous uncontrollable factors inherent in the competition, such as physical condition, intensity of the match, luck, and other influences, the ability assessment is for the host's reference only

In the area of fundamental skills training for ball control, including advancing, changing direction, and combining techniques, Liu Xiu has also improved his training methods with the assistance of the school team's coach

Well... let's take it one step at a time. Fortunately, the NBA schedule is quite packed, with teams facing off almost every other day. With the new season starting, anything is possible. The goal for this summer is to have the strength to be part of an NBA rotation

"Is it really necessary for them to draft players at such a high position?" Morris-Cheeks remarked

Indeed, he appears to be making rapid progress, but this is based on the fact that the direction he has chosen for his improvement has consistently aligned with the abilities that the team most requires from a point guard

The three main categories of simulation training projects share a common characteristic - simplicity and practicality

An excellent level of 81, with speed ratings lower than strength... A tank is just a tank, as for my shooting... In college, I primarily scored through tactics, with some dribbling and shooting, but rarely; most of my points came from tactical shots, driving to the basket by using my body to hold off defenders, and more cuts to receive the ball for bank shots... Overall, it seems I am quite impressive.

In the hotel suite on the 22nd floor of Trump Tower in New York, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Bob Swit, hung up the phone and said to the team's head coach who was waiting nearby: "Maurice, the rookie you wanted has been traded back to us. We really lost big on this deal; I almost rejected the trade just now"

Moreover, not everyone has a relationship as good as that with Anthony

The host may choose a specific category for simulation training, and the system will calculate the required healing points based on the training content, difficulty, and duration. After completing the simulation training, healing points can be consumed to extract the results of the simulation training, which will always yield the optimal outcome.

Once he has the financial means, he will seek a personal trainer, which will provide him with a more exceptional training method. However, during his time with the Orange Team, he has already received a great deal of assistance. Of course, Liu Xiu does not feel indebted to the school; when he plays, the school does not share a single penny of the ticket sales or broadcasting fees with him.

If Banchero were placed on a team like the Lakers, he might just be an ordinary player

For example, protecting the ball well and steadily delivering it to teammates during tactics, primarily to Anthony, Hakeem-Warwick, and the wing shooters

Although he wants to select that rookie, the thirteenth pick is too extravagant

After Liu Xiu opened the simulation training page, he immediately accessed the "Basic Ball Control Training," which includes subdivisions such as advancing, changing direction, combining the ball, and fancy ball control. However, only advancing, changing direction, and combining the ball are highlighted.

Liu Xiu thought of this, and the system prompt arrived

However, placed in the Memphis Grizzlies, he would be an excellent arrow player, the primary isolation offensive option

The root of the issue lies in the fact that his fundamental skills are significantly inferior to those of the semi-professional players in the NCAA. Therefore, from the very beginning, he did not intend to learn any flashy techniques in college. Instead, he focused on training the simplest and most practical skills based on the needs of the team and his teammates.

In the two main categories of "basic shooting skills training" and "basic passing skills training," there are very few projects that can simulate training

In Liu Xiu's memories, although his running speed decreased somewhat after he started practicing Sanda to gain weight in his first year of university, his agility has always been excellent, and his current speed is still sufficient for university.

Once the system's full functionality is activated, there will be a more detailed capability evaluation and analysis

... ...

At first, he did not understand what it meant to be affected by the remaining stamina of the day, but after a few more experiences, he came to understand it

Exit the prompt page and return to the main interface, where the content consists of basic information and capability assessment.

The duration of simulated training that the host can conduct each day is influenced by the host's remaining stamina for the day and the selected content of the simulated training

In other words, the total stamina determined by the system, after subtracting the stamina consumed during daytime activities related to basketball, is the remaining stamina available for simulated training

Liu Xiu initiated the simulation training

In the first two to three months after he started playing basketball, he grew a bit taller. Initially, he was quite excited for a long time, but after growing from 185 cm to 188 cm, there was no further growth. His weight also increased by a few kilograms. Fortunately, as he continued to play in competitions, he managed to maintain his weight within the range of 92 to 94 kilograms, ultimately gaining only a few pounds, which did not affect his agility

... ...

However, after reaching a certain level, one ultimately has to rely on the passage of time to refine it

However, after a few days of simulated training... ah... being not a muscle man is also quite good

Mingming was still on the bed next door, yet Liu Xiu began to think about Guagua

His physical fitness is not particularly poor; since entering Snow City University, he has been practicing Sanda, but there is clearly room for improvement. Reducing some weight and engaging in professional endurance training... However, that would reduce the duration of the current simulation training.

Bob Sweet continued, saying: "I actually initially planned to trade down from the twenty-third pick, breaking it into a late first-round pick and an early second-round pick, to select that rookie at the end of the first round. However, I heard that the Knicks also wanted to select that rookie, and they had made arrangements with the Celtics that if the Celtics helped them select that rookie, they would trade with the Celtics."

The evaluation of abilities seems to be of little use; its purpose should be to inform me where I need the most improvement. The techniques are interconnected, allowing for a clearer understanding of my shortcomings. Unfortunately, it is too vague

At the beginning, Liu Xiu also faced a problem—physical strength

In fact, there is a quality in his draft report that media and fans may overlook, but which is likely to be very important in the eyes of coaches and management across teams—strong tactical execution awareness

Host Ability Evaluation: 81 (Summer League), Three-point Shooting 73, Mid-range Shooting 76, Layup 91, Ball Handling 91, Passing Accuracy 85, Speed 87, Strength 89, Jumping 73, Agility 93, Stamina 85

At first, Liu Xiu felt that this kind of simulated training, which involved lying down to gain "experience," would not be useful initially. While it could provide more exercise and help reduce fat and increase muscle, simulated training would not achieve such effects.

The introduction states that one can choose the type of simulated training, but the prerequisite is that he is familiar with that particular training method

After reviewing the simulation training page, Liu Xiu switched back to the main page, and the upgrade progress bar had passed more than half.

If his stamina is 10, and on that day, activities related to basketball, such as physical training, technical training, team training, and playing matches, consumed a total of 5 stamina for the purpose of playing basketball, then the available stamina for simulated training would be 5. Activities such as helping to fix the plumbing, assisting in yard maintenance, helping to repair the roof, and applauding for love, among others, are not included in this calculation. Therefore, the available stamina for simulated training remains 5, while helping to fix the plumbing, assisting in yard maintenance, helping to repair the roof, and applauding for love, among others, are not included.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu felt a bit dazed—"Afterwards, Xiao Dongdong will no longer be my teammate. Where can I find a good teammate with a similar proud yet loyal personality like his?"

The methods to obtain healing values are still limited. After multiple attempts, Liu Xiu confirmed that one must be part of a "competitive group"; teammates are certainly included, as well as the opponents in the match, or everyone at this draft conference, all of whom are competitors. Moreover, the triggering point must be related to basketball

Before long, the system notification arrived

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that a very small number of individuals possess extraordinary talents, those who can achieve a remarkable level with just a glance and casual practice.

Later, I received news that the Lakers wanted to select that rookie with the 24th pick. The Knicks were originally planning to trade a draft pick at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round. Upon learning that the Lakers were preparing to select that rookie, the Knicks immediately approached the Celtics for assistance in securing the player. Coincidentally, the owner was urging me to part ways with Banch, and since you also wanted that rookie, I simply let the Grizzlies take that rookie in the lottery area and then had them add a little something to facilitate our trade.

Morris Chicks nodded upon hearing this

Although the NCAA is an amateur sports association, the trainers are all professionals. If he were to train on his own, it would be ineffective practice. With the help of trainers, he has learned more effective training methods, which is why he has made such rapid progress

It is never a good thing to constantly target those individuals in the team; not everyone can be like Anthony, who can hit the same thing multiple times and still succeed.

Endurance is also a talent

Therefore, Liu Xiu knows that his simulation training is truly excellent

For most people, when the same event occurs multiple times, their emotional fluctuations tend to diminish with each subsequent occurrence

The system has been upgraded, and it seems that an ability evaluation feature has been added

Is it a reference... well, yes, the Summer League? It means that there will be changes once we officially enter the NBA

Normal training, an hour of training, achieving thirty percent effective training is quite impressive. When physical condition is at its best, it will certainly be higher, but as physical condition declines, the training effect will also decrease. According to the feedback Liu Xiu received from the trainer, regardless of how targeted the training is or how hard and diligently the trainees work, training for 3 to 4 hours in the morning will average out to about thirty percent effective training, with a significant amount of physical energy being wasted. According to the feedback Liu Xiu received from the trainer, regardless of how targeted the training is or how hard and diligently the trainees work, training for 3 to 4 hours in the morning will average out to about thirty percent effective training, with a significant amount of physical energy being wasted

There exists a disparity in efficiency due to inherent talent, but that is simply the situation at hand

The Orange team has consistently achieved just over 20 wins in the past several seasons, lingering on the edge of the top 64 in the nation. Occasionally, acquiring a star player like Anthony can propel them to great heights, as evidenced by their runner-up finishes in 1996 and 1987

Upon this thought, Liu Xiu's mind stirred, and the system screen switched from the upgrade progress page to the simulation training page

Of course, this is not difficult

Morris Chicks replied with a hint of concern: "I just wanted you to select him at the twenty-third pick, but I didn't expect you to choose him at the thirteenth pick."

Staring at the progress bar, Liu Xiu thought, "In this summer's summer league, is there a chance to gather enough 9000 healing points? No, it's not just 9000 that I need; the summer league will end at most by August, and there is still a long time afterwards..."

After obtaining the healing value for the first time, the simulation training mode was activated

There are a total of three main categories, with descriptions provided under each category

As for the matter of losing weight, Liu Xiu decided to set it aside for the time being. If he gains a little weight, so be it; he can take it. The main point is that even if he puts on some weight, he is still very handsome

After all, it is Anthony who is taking the lead, not him

In this timeline, Liu Xiu occasionally plays basketball, though he is not particularly skilled at it. However, in his original timeline, he played quite well, being an amateur expert. With his physique and after becoming familiar with the feel of the ball, he quickly reached the level of an amateur enthusiast in Anthony's eyes.

Anthony chose Syracuse University precisely because of this aspect

There is something new

The total duration of simulated training is all effective training

It seems that the upgrade will be completed in a few minutes, but I am not sure if it will require another upgrade after accumulating 9,000 healing points

However, it is merely the Summer League; players like Anthony and James, who average over 20 points per game upon entering the NBA, do not dominate the Summer League as if they were cutting vegetables.
