Healing Basketball

Chapter 287 287. Incredible progress!
This year the Trail Blazers players returned to the team very early.

Kwame Brown, who finally escaped the starting point of that nightmare, came to Portland in mid-July.

After Varejao was selected and participated in the summer league, he followed the team back to the home court directly.

The outlaw fanatic is the ultimate dead house. He invites his parents, relatives and friends to come to Portland to play in the summer, and he doesn't want to leave his small apartment, playing games, training, and sleeping. This is the life he dreams of in the summer.

By the beginning of August, veterans such as McDyess, Raheem, and Dale Davis all returned.

Joan Barry, Lynch Hunter, Ron Mercer and others who came back from the trade or signed, all came to the Rose Garden Arena to report within a week.

Flying Squirrel and Ruben Patterson also returned to the team at the end of August.

Among the 13 players currently in the arena, Delfino, who returned to the team at the latest, returned to Argentina to receive their presidential honor, and also came to Portland on September 9.

Returning to the team early, although it is difficult to improve the tacit understanding in playing, but it can make the players get acquainted.

This is another reason why the coaches hope that the players can return to the team sooner.

After the team members are familiar with each other, there are topics to talk about.

Since mid-September, there have been news that all the teams have arrived to start training one after another.

As for their Trail Blazers, as of yesterday, there were still not enough people.

The most important thing is that these two missing players are the two strongest players on the team, the best players in the league last season!

After training, everyone will definitely talk about Liu Xiu and Randolph.

Before, the new veterans Joan Barry, Lynch Hunter and others talked with the old players on the team whether they should call Liu Xiu and Randolph, but the old players said no, just get used to it.

Time passed day by day. Today, the team announced that it was the day to return to the team. The Trail Blazers players had already changed into their training uniforms and entered the court. The staff had prepared all the physical testing equipment for today, and the coaches had come. Got a few.

But those two haven't arrived yet!

Joan Barry, born in a sports family, is the son of a celebrity. Although he doesn't play well, he is a respected player everywhere. He is hardworking, humble, friendly, and enthusiastic.

He loves to worry about the team and his teammates, even though he is just a newcomer.

Seeing that the coaches have already arrived, Joan Barry is in a hurry, and wants to find Dale Davis, Little Flying Squirrel and other old players of the team to ask if the two strongest players on the team have forgotten that today is the return day .

Those two people are notoriously lazy!It's really not impossible.

However, Joan Barry suddenly discovered that the teammates he saw just now were missing several!
what's going on?
The warden and the butcher didn't come, and the others suddenly disappeared?
He really feels that coming to this team is an unreliable decision. He just wants to play in a strong team at the end of his career.

Does this team really look like a 58-win team?
He looked up at the electronic wall clock, 8:58:58... At this time, there was the sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of music from the door of the training ground!
When Joan Barry came to the Rose Garden to play an away game last season, he heard it. It was the music played by the Trail Blazers players!
Accompanied by the BGM, a group of people entered the training ground from the gate in an orderly manner.

At the front is the warden in a white suit, so handsome that he doesn't look like he's playing basketball.

On the left back of the warden is the gold medalist, and on the right back is the butcher.

Outlaws, McDyess, Derek Anderson, and Little Flying Squirrel followed closely.

These people are all in uniform custom-made black suits and wearing large gold chains.

Finally, there is Rahim in his black and white cassock.

Joan Barry, Mercer, and Lynch Hunter, the three new veterans, listened to the BGM and looked at this scene, petrified...

Kwame Brown, Delfino, and Varejao, three young people in their early 20s, started cheering and screaming when they saw this scene!
Kobe's Terminator is so enviable, but he couldn't integrate into the small circle of the 'Rose Bay Seven'.

Everyone knows that Ruben Patterson likes to talk bad about people behind their backs, and it's hard for anyone to talk to him.

The coaching staff and trainer team headed by the chief assistant, defensive assistant and head of the trainer team saw this scene with mixed emotions.

It was actually guessed by their coach!
Such a scene really happened when the two best team leaders returned to the team!
After the eight players of the 'Rose Bay Seven' entered the training ground, they were posing in the freeze frame.

The chief assistant couldn't help it anymore: "Hurry up and change your clothes! Who hasn't changed in 5 minutes and came back to practice more today!"

The incomparably coquettish "Rose Bay Seven" immediately scattered birds and beasts...

……

For the original 'Rose Bay Seven', the appearance just now was a trivial matter, something they got used to.

But it was new and exciting for Raheem, Little Flying Squirrel, and McDyess.

It was the first time to be absorbed into this small circle.

Raheem's words, in addition to freshness and excitement, also have shame.

When he was first asked to wear a cassock, he was unwilling. He had been wearing that thing since he was a child. He wanted to indulge, want to be uninhibited, and wanted to wear a black suit and a big gold chain.

But two days ago, when he went to the warden's house to pick up the custom-made clothes, the warden communicated with him kindly and friendly, and he readily accepted the proposal.

But, no matter what the process was, Raheem was the last to walk in, and found that the eyes of his teammates, coaches, and trainers stayed on him for longer than the teammates in front... All dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

Is this what the warden said 'your characteristic'?Love it!
Everyone complained that the chief assistant's menopause was coming again, so they quickly changed into training clothes and returned to the training ground.

This year, the coach canceled the self-introduction session. He thought it was troublesome, so he directly asked everyone to warm up and prepare for the physical and technical tests.

The chief assistant thought it was too hasty, but watching Liu Xiu go to greet the new players one by one during the warm-up, well, he thought too much.

They are completely different now from the past few years.

They're already a prison team centered on the warden...

Liu Xiu got to know the six new teammates one by one, and got a preliminary understanding.

Joan Barry, a nagging man, Liu Xiu suspects that his Mediterranean is caused by too much worry.

Kwame Brown is a little timid.

Ron Mercer, with a sense of vicissitudes of life that is bearish.

Lynch Hunter, a highly self-disciplined veteran, is about to be 34 years old, and looks like a 24-year-old boy in physical and mental outlook.

Varejao, who doesn't look like a good guy, fits the team's temperament very well.

Delfino, he fought once, a handsome guy with very deep forehead lines at a young age, it is said that he was chased after by Miss Brazil, but he married a lady from the neighboring village when he was a child, who is three years older than him... Argentina made the news after winning the Olympic gold medal.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Trail Blazers players began physical and technical tests on the two training grounds and the court.

The test of Liu Xiu and Randolph is naturally the most concerned about by the coaching staff.

Seeing Randolph's suit stretched out, the coaching staff had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, in the static physical fitness test, Randolph's weight of 130 kg made the coaching staff helpless.

but!

Then Randolph's shooting test made shooting coach Chris Irving feel bad!
Randolph has not been back to Portland this summer, and he has not received guidance from the team's trainers. He is traveling and enjoying delicious food from all over the world while practicing CIC. The CIC has undergone earth-shaking changes, just like the middle of the 01-02 season After Randolph went to learn the post-up game, in the playoffs he had an exaggerated level of post-up game...

After watching Randolph's mid-range shot test, Chris Irving thought of another talent on the team and wanted to go to the toilet to cry.

He has successfully allowed Dale Davis, a difficult household with zero shooting ability for 9 years in the Pacers, to practice close-range shots from the bottom line.

Helped Little Flying Squirrel from a nerve knife outside the three-point line to a stable shooter who averaged 37 three-pointers per game with a 2%+ shooting rate.

The outlaw fanatics have made great progress under his guidance, and Raheem also relies on him to integrate into the new style of play faster.

But these achievements can't offset the blow that these two lazy geniuses brought him!
He is wondering if he can really help the players in training...

On the other side, Liu Xiu, who was doing a shooting test, suddenly received a series of reminders about the healing value, which were related to the shooting coach.

But he looked around, the shooting coach wasn't there!
After shaking his head for a while, Liu Xiu continued to concentrate on the test.

It's impossible to hide one's clumsiness and hold back one's hand. For this kind of test, you have to go all out and show all your advantages and strengths!
……

From 10:11 to [-]:[-], the physical and technical tests of the players are all over, and they will go to the hospital for a health check in the afternoon, and the process of returning to the team is over.

In fact, apart from Liu Xiu and Randolph, the team doctor had already conducted health checks on the other players, but the official procedure had to go through it again, which was another layer of health insurance.

The boss came to the arena today. When he was secretly observing upstairs, he saw the scene of Liu Xiu and his party making an appearance. He almost shook his head and left, but he held back.

Now, he felt that it was right not to leave.

After the trainers submitted the report statistics, the boss, coach, chief assistant coach, and defensive assistant coach all marveled at a person's dynamic and static physical fitness report.

Liu Xiu's physical test report!
Height: 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm), the trainer marked the self-filling.

Weight: 207 lbs (93.8 kg).

There is not much difference in height and weight from last season, and the weight has dropped by a little more than 1 kg.

However, Liu Xiu's figure in the photos taken from multiple angles, the clear lines and protruding outlines of Liu Xiu's body, are more obvious than after the playoffs last season!
"Wish he could play every summer..."

When the boss said such a sentence, the coach and the chief assistant nodded in approval.

But that wasn't what surprised them the most.

To their surprise, Liu Xiu's speed, strength, and even jumping have all improved significantly compared to the physical test at this time last year!
A genius high school student, an outlaw lunatic who is still growing up, the improvement in these aspects in the past year is far inferior to Liu Xiu!

Technological progress and experience improvement are normal, but at Liu Xiu's age, his athletic ability has greatly improved, which is unbelievable!
