Chapter 752 Big Zhi at the opening match

Finished a few preseason games.

Because Harris' coaching foundation is still there, the Lakers adjusted fairly smoothly, but Phil Jackson didn't expect his job when he first took office to be so smooth.

Originally, after the lineup was adjusted, some people thought about starting the main force, some thought about competing with teammates in the same position, and some people fell off the regular starting lineup. It was his job to deal with the players' mentality, but now it is different. According to West His suggestion...as long as Li Shengli is dealt with well, because in the Lakers team, there are some things that Li Shengli can say a hundred words to them.

……

Finally waited until the regular season opener.

On November 11nd, there were 2 games in the league.

As the championship team of last season, the Lakers were scheduled to face the Dallas Mavericks, who happened to be going to Dazhi. The Mavericks players arrived in Los Angeles the day before, and went to the Lakers' new home team training ground to warm up on the same day. Li Shengli He bumped into Dazhi.

"Old Li!"

"Da Zhi, how is it? How does it feel to play in the NBA? I think you are in a good state of mind?" Li Shengli was very happy to see Da Zhi. After all, this is the second Chinese to enter the NBA after him.

"It's not bad. It's just... why did I fight you in the first game!" Dazhi touched his head and said with a headache: "By the way, Lao Li, did you watch the few games I played in the preseason? I don’t know if I can go up and fight today, but everyone in the country is watching me now.”

"I didn't watch the preseason game. You didn't perform well?" Li Shengli pulled Dazhi aside and sat down to chat, but Dazhi was very distressed and didn't speak. Li Shengli could understand after thinking about it...the performance was not good It can be said to be normal, but it would be abnormal if Dazhi played the same dominance in the NBA as soon as he played in China.

"Don't worry about this, take your time, no one can become fat with one bite!"

Li Shengli comforted Da Zhi, but Da Zhi sighed and thought: Brother, you just eat it in one bite. 2 minutes, or simply not playing?

CBA top players have no ball to play in NBA?

Not to mention what the country thinks, he can't accept this kind of gap, but Li Shengli comforted Da Zhi a few words, said see you in the game, and ran back to the Lakers' training ground to arrange the game.

……

Playing the underdog Mavericks in the Western Conference at this stage?

The Lakers have nothing to worry about, so Li Shengli thought about whether he could speed up the pace and scrape the Mavericks, and directly enter the garbage time at halftime, or defend and suppress the players on the Mavericks' power forward, forcing the old Nelson to make more substitutions. Anyone try to increase Big Zhi's playing time?

Obviously, it works.

The only bitter one may be Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks' starting power forward.

When I was looking for Dazhi just now, Li Shengli went to chat with Nowitzki and Nash, and they had a good chat, but Nowitzki never expected... As soon as he turned his face, Li Shengli, the big brother, stepped on his horse Thinking about messing with yourself?

……

"Brother Green!" Li Shengli said to Green: "When it's time to play, help me take care of Nowitzki."

"No, he provoked you?" Green looked bitter, because he played for the Mavericks last season, and Nowitzki can be said to be his rookie brother who entered the league, so he immediately said: " Li, you are an important star in the league now, don't make trouble with the rookie? And this kid is pretty good, do you have any misunderstandings?"

"What misunderstanding, what's wrong with just wanting to hit him? Don't look at me, we are so high-profile!" Artest immediately became excited when he heard that the business was coming, and said, "Li, as long as you say a word, let alone Novi Cisky, Karl Malone is here today, and I can deal with him too!"

"Damn it, you dare to say you're going to take care of Malone? Didn't you wake up when you stepped on the horse?" Li Shengli felt a headache when he saw Artest's militant question, and he looked so fearless. Turning his head to Green and Artest, he said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want everyone to put more effort into their normal defense. And...damn, am I this kind of bully in your hearts? image?"

bully?

Yes ah, is not a drop?

Green and Artest didn't speak, but Li Shengli blasted them away angrily, joined the warm-up, and waited until the game went to the locker room. Even Kobe and Crotty came to ask about the situation. They didn't understand Nowitzki. Why did he provoke Li Shengli, the biggest bully in the league, out of thin air?

Even if Li Shengli explained again and again, it was useless.

Hearing the news, Horry, Fox, and Artest, who might be rotating power forwards, all sneakily added up, which made Li Shengli want to cry without tears, feeling that this team has been 'bad' to the root. It doesn't matter how you say it.

If Nowitzki knew about this situation, he would have to cry too... Damn it, am I wronged!

……

After waiting for a while, after Phil Jackson told everyone about the tactics, the staff came to inform the players to play, and when they arrived on the field... When the two sides reported to the technical station for the start, it was the same as Li Shengli guessed, Nowitzki Sure enough, the starting lineup was marked, with Bradley, Nowitzki, Finley, Ceballos, and Nash forming today's starting lineup.

As for the Lakers...

Li Shengli and Green are certain. Phil Jackson chose Fox as the small forward. Artest failed to start in the first game, while Kobe was also fixed at the other two positions. Fisher started the point guard. .

……

For both sides of the game, this game is the first game of the 99-00 new season!

For domestic fans at this time, this is the first time in the history of the NBA that two Chinese nationals compete on the same stage, and the purpose of the league officials arranging such a game in the opening game is self-evident, what they want is to go first Earn the attention of a wave of Chinese fans.

Therefore, even with the time difference, the ratings in China remained high.

Not only the fans, but even domestic basketball players turned their attention to the United States on the other side of the ocean, wanting to see Da Zhi as a pioneer in the battle to find out the bottom line, and did not include Li Shengli in the consideration of domestic basketball. That is because of Li Shengli... There is no way to be a typical player.

……

"Here we come, we finally waited for this match!"

"Oh, as expected, Da Zhi still didn't make the starting list."

"Normal, it's the NBA, not everyone is like Lao Li."

"It doesn't matter, just wait and see, Dazhi... He doesn't represent him alone anymore. The results of the top domestic fighters in the NBA can prove the distance between us and that side."

"I just hope that Dazhi can have enough time. If there is no time, it is useless to say anything, and if Dazhi can't hit the top, then in our country... there is only Dayao left. .”

"Forgot about Lao Li? No matter how you say it, Da Zhi is a top domestic player, even a top player in Asia. Dayao is also counted, plus our Lao Li, damn it, let them wait at the Olympics...wait for us This unprecedented combination of inside hell."

"That's right, let's watch this game first. Although Da Zhi's priority in playing is not high, almost everyone who plays basketball in China knows about our Lao Li's temperament. If you say he has no idea, I will be the first to believe it. Now he must be holding back his energy and trying to find a way to get Da Zhi to play."

"It's almost time, the game is about to start!"
