Chapter 13 No. 18

"Brother Xia, I finally waited for you to come out."

"Brother Xia, this is He Zhongqiu, right?"

As soon as we left the training base, several yellow-skinned reporters ran up to us. They knew Xia Song. No need to guess, they were Chinese reporters.

"Yes, he is He Zhongqiu. You can call him Zhongqiu. If you have any questions, just ask him directly." Xia Song said with a smile.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I am CCTV reporter Zhou Biao..."

"Slow down, guys, let's find a place to sit down and eat and drink while chatting. What do you think? I'll treat you." He Zhongqiu shouted.

"Okay, let's follow Zhongqiu's arrangements."

"Okay."

Several reporters hurriedly said.

We found a Chinese restaurant and had dinner with a few of us until almost nine o'clock.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, He Zhongqiu and Xia Song returned home. The latter quickly turned on the TV and tuned to CBS. The game between the Knicks and the Heat had already entered the third quarter.

In the end, the madman showed his strength, scoring 30 points with a % shooting rate, leading the Knicks to a narrow victory of five points.

He Zhongqiu paid special attention to the performance of Harrington and Doriac, who were in direct competition with him and whose performances would determine his future playing time.

Harrington started and played for 18 minutes, scoring only 3 points and 3 rebounds, with no steals or blocks, and 4 fouls.

多里亚克只打了9分钟，6分1篮板1盖帽2犯规。

At the center position, Kurt Thomas played half of the time. He played for 39 minutes, with 10 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was very good, making 6 of 5 shots.

Xia Song said excitedly: "Zhongqiu, see, this is your chance. You are not strong enough now, but you can still play under the basket. Your defense and rebounding are barely acceptable. You have blocks and steals. These two are even weaker, otherwise the Knicks would not keep you at all."

"Yeah, I can kill them both on and off the court. These two guys obviously don't like me." He nodded repeatedly.

Xia Song was startled and said hurriedly: "You just joined the team, don't cause trouble."

He Zhongqiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xia, I'm just talking and talking nonsense. As martial artists, how can we fight with ordinary people?"

Xia Song breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Another point is that you have too many mistakes and fouls. You must pay attention to this. Too many mistakes and fouls will affect your playing time."

"I will." He nodded.

With the help of the system to correct errors, he is still confident that he can correct some bad habits and problems in the shortest time possible.

After previous theoretical studies in China and in the past two days, his tactical ability has improved rapidly, with his offensive and defensive tactics each improving by 4 levels.

The level improvement of these technical abilities, like the upgrade of martial arts, does not depend on the number of times you practice, but only on the effect of practice.

For example, when shooting a basketball, you will be given a proficiency point for each successful shot, but if you fail to make a shot after ten thousand attempts, the system will not give you a proficiency point.

And if you make two, three, five, ten, twenty, thirty shots in a row, your proficiency will become much higher each time.

The system stipulates that a skill requires three thousand proficiency points before it can be upgraded.

There are two ways to gain proficiency: theoretical learning and practical operation.

The actual operation is divided into training and competition. Training is an effective training to gain proficiency. This is the slowest way to gain proficiency.

There are several types of competitions. Training matches and amateur matches offer double proficiency rewards, professional matches offer triple rewards, and there is no double reward for street ball, which is the same as training.

Theoretical learning is the fastest way to gain proficiency.

For example, one instruction from others or one reading of a tactical manual may lead to hundreds of proficiency gains, which is much faster than training and competition.

Of course, theoretical learning is only suitable for low-level players. When you reach a higher level, you have to rely on training and competition to improve. "I will try to improve my basic skills by a large margin within a year, and then develop one or two unique skills."

After turning off the system panel, he went to the end of the bed and stood in the Three Body Pose for twenty minutes, gained a level of proficiency, and then began to practice the Five Elements Fist.

The system divides the martial arts levels into five levels: entry, minor success, major success, grandmaster, and perfect. Xingyiquan can only reach minor success.

The basic exercises of Xingyiquan are the three-body stance training, and there are also five-element boxing and twelve-form boxing.

The system calculates the proficiency of these three techniques separately, and the level of Xingyiquan is also the average level of the three techniques.

Among them, he was the first to practice the Three-Body Style. When his father was still alive, he had reached the great success level. Later, with the help of the system, he reached level 4, the grandmaster level, at the fastest speed.

However, those who have not practiced the Five Elements Boxing and Twelve Elements Boxing much are only at level one, the entry level.

He practiced the Five Elements Boxing for half an hour and gained two proficiency points. The proficiency in martial arts is more than ten times more valuable than the proficiency in basketball. In basketball, one proficiency point can be gained through one effective training.

"From level 2 to level 3, 3,000 proficiency points are required. There is too little time. I don't even have time to practice the Twelve Lines of Fist."

Martial arts is his foundation, which can continuously improve his muscles, bones, qi and blood and other qualities. This cannot be lost.

……

On the morning of the 15th, local time, CCTV and Ma Guoli obtained He Zhongqiu's information.

"An abandoned child, grew up in Hongluo Temple, only has primary school education, is good at Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw Kung Fu, started to mingle after graduating from primary school, was caught by the police station in early 99 and disappeared for almost a year, later became a martial arts actor, but because of his sudden increase in height, he couldn't be an actor, so he changed his career to play basketball, and was immediately spotted by the Knicks. Haha, his experience is quite legendary!"

This information does not contain any record of He Zhongqiu being sent to a juvenile detention center, nor does it contain any record of him beating anyone to death, because he was a minor at the time. Such information is confidential and will not be provided to anyone except judicial authorities.

He called Liu Mingguang from the news department and asked him to prepare a manuscript for the fifth-channel sports news.

"Xiao Liu, please write a better manuscript and don't write anything unnecessary. Do you understand?"

"clear."

……

On the same day, at 14: noon on the th, US time, the Knicks returned to New York.

The team announced that the team will gather at the training base at 5 pm, and commuting players will gather at Madison Square Garden at 6:30 pm.

"Hey, He, hello, I'm Billy Jackson, you can call me Billy."

"Hello, Billy."

That afternoon, the equipment manager who was accompanying the team on an away game found He Zhongqiu who was in training.

"He, these are the jersey numbers, pick one."

"Let me see, this one is good, I'll take it."

Billy Jackson took out some available numbers for him to choose from. He picked them out and finally chose number 18.

"What's your shoe size?"

"Code 50."

"OK, I will prepare your jersey and sneakers for you before the game tonight. These two bags are issued by the team and can hold your personal belongings."

After registering some data, Billy Jackson left a large handbag and backpack and hurried away.

He should be one of the busiest people in the team. All the players' equipment is under the responsibility of his department, who prepares them before the game and cleans them after the game.

When He Zhongqiu trained until 3:30, Holmes Lester asked him to stop because there was a game in the evening and even if he didn't have a chance to play, he had to maintain good physical fitness.
