I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 55: Killing He Li and Ma Long! (for collection)

"Hello, hello, He Li, right? Excuse me, we are CCTV sports commentators, do you have time for an interview now?"

The regular season opener between the Bucks and the Jazz is about to begin, and He Lizheng is warming up on the court with other teammates.

Just at this moment, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping stood by the court with microphones in their hands and asked He Li questions in Chinese.

He Li heard this, how could he not stop.

"Hello, both of you, audience friends in front of the TV, I am the No. 7 player of the Bucks, He Li!

If you two want to ask the audience anything, I will definitely answer what I can answer.

First of all, let me emphasize that I am Chinese!
No matter where I play, my nationality, my blood will not change.

I am a Han nationality, and I have learned traditional culture since I was a child. Like everyone else, I am a successor to socialism.

If you don't believe me, watch this.

This is my exclusive sneaker, He Li 1st generation, have you seen this dragon pattern?

The pair of Yunlong boots under my feet are the first pair of sneakers with Chinese elements to set foot on the NBA regular season.

These are dragon boots, and I also have a pair of cloud boots, together they are my exclusive Nike sneakers, Yunlong boots.

Some viewers may be excited when they see this, and they may have questions. Where can I sell such handsome sneakers?
That, of course, was in a Nike store.

But sorry, Yunlong boots are officially sold in China, which may make everyone wait for a while.

But next year at the latest, it will definitely start selling in China.

However, the price will be a bit expensive.

In fact, this is the price of sneakers in the United States, and there is still a gap in consumption levels between the two sides. "

He Li is proficient in business and directly uses the CCTV sports platform to advertise. This wave of operation Liu teacher has to say six after seeing it.

When Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping heard what He Li said, it was too late to stop them. They had to say that He Li was too fast, too proficient, and too unexpected!

After He Li finished speaking, the smiling faces of Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping suddenly drooped.

"Oh, He Li, you, I'm sorry..."

He Li smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to use your platform to advertise.

It is rare to see compatriots from the motherland here, and it is so kind and exciting to see you two.

It's been a long time since I spoke Chinese, and when I see occasions where I can speak, I can't help but speak more.

Sorry, really sorry. "

Hearing what He Li said, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping could only smile wryly: "He Li, you misunderstood."

"Don't take what we say next to your heart!"

"What's wrong?" He Li was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

Sun Zhengping said, "The live broadcast equipment hasn't been turned on yet!"

He Li: ...

Instant petrification.

"Ma Dan, the game is about to start, and the live broadcast equipment is not turned on yet? Are you playing me sincerely?" He Li's mentality was cracked, but it was hard to swear these words out.

Zhang Weiping explained: "The first time I met you, I don't know if you get along well or not.

So we decided to come over and ask.

Now we do understand, He Li, you are cheerful and eloquent.

Young hero, young and promising!Not bad, very good. "

Listening to director Zhang's praise, He Li felt that he was being ridiculed, and he was still the kind of dumb who eats coptis.

"Uncomfortable, uncomfortable all over."

"Now that we have communicated, the official interview will start next. Wait for us, I will go to the contact to start the live broadcast!" Sun Zhengping continued.

CCTV Sports Channel, also known as CCTV5, does not actually broadcast many times a year.

That is, the opening game of the regular season, the All-Star Game, the NBA Finals, these games.

The rest is said to be a live broadcast, but in fact it is still a broadcast. Veteran commentators like Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping don't need to come to the scene at all. They can comment on the game in the CCTV studio of the imperial capital.

This time, it was also because He Li made a lot of noise in the country before, and the Bucks and Jazz are both playoff teams, and this game is one of several openers.

CCTV Sports got in touch with the NBA Headquarters Office, and NBA President David Stern deliberately manipulated it, so this game became a national live broadcast, as well as a CCTV live broadcast.

"China Central Television Sports Channel.

Now you are watching the 2001-2002 season, the opening game of the NBA regular season.

The opponents are the Milwaukee Bucks and the Utah Jazz.

Now we invite the former member of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhang Weiping, to explain today's game for us. "

Sun Zhengping made an opening remark in his radio accent.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Weiping took the microphone and said: "Hello, audience friends, I am Zhang Weiping.

Today we are honored to invite the No. 7 player of the Bucks.

That is, to win glory for the motherland this summer, in the NBA Draft, He Li was selected with the 16th overall pick in the first round!
Next, please He Li! "

"Please!" Sun Zhengping handed the microphone in his hand to He Li, and asked Zhang Weiping to interview He Li.

"Hi everyone, I'm He Li, here I want to thank all the viewers and friends who support me in front of the TV!"

Because I had advertised before, although I was as fierce as a tiger in the air, but now I want He Li to pull his face down and do it again, He Li really can't do it, after all, He Li still has a sense of shame.

"The game seems to be about to start, so let's ask a few quick questions.

He Li, do you think it is easy for Chinese players to play in the NBA?
Where is the biggest difficulty?
Will you play in this game? "

Considering that the game is about to start and the starting players are about to land on the field, Zhang Weiping directly asked all three questions.

"It's not easy for Chinese players to play in the NBA because people live far from their hometowns.

NBA coaches, players, and even most of the staff can't understand you.

And Chinese players can't understand others in a short time, let alone integrate into the team and play normally. "

"Personally, I think the biggest difficulty is communication.

Basketball is a five-person sport. No matter how strong one person is, if you don't cooperate with your teammates, you can't play five-on-one.

And if you can't gain the trust of the coach, no matter how strong you are, you can't get playing time.

Therefore, the first thing that needs to be solved is communication, and the second is to find the right position, show strength, and play a role. "

"Today's game I will start, and then you can watch it.

Although I have never played in an NBA game, when the DJ called my name,

On the big screen above the arena, there should be pictures of my wonderful performances in the preseason, as well as statistics. "

Just after answering here, a staff member from the sidelines came to inform that the game was indeed about to start.

Next is the debut of the starting players of the two teams. The order of appearance is the international practice, first the guest and then the host.

After hearing the news, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping returned to their positions, and He Li, as the Bucks starter, also returned to the Bucks' bench seat.

Soon, all the lights were turned off, only the big screen above the arena flickered.

The first to announce is the Bucks starting list, point guard Cassell, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Robinson, power forward He Li, and center Anthony Mason.

Anthony Mason is not tall as an inside player. When he signed up for the draft, he lied about 6 feet 8 inches, or 2 meters. In fact, he is less than 03 meters tall until now.

So, Anthony Mason playing center is just a cameo.

In other words, in order to show this starting lineup to specific Chinese fans in this game, the Bucks no longer need a center.

Hands are short, but mouths are soft.George Karl knew what to do without David Stern reminding him.

He Li may not be able to start the game in the future, but it is certainly impossible for every game to be like today.

Closer to home, the Bucks' starting players started to play.

The jazz DJ was the first to call Anthony Mason's name, which shocked everyone in the Bucks.

There are unspoken rules in the NBA. For single-core teams, the boss is the last one to play.For a dual-core team, the first player to appear is the second player, and the last one is the first player.

The Bucks are a multi-core team. The second head can be Cassell or Ray Allen, but it can never be the newly arrived Anthony Mason.

However, it is the right of the on-site DJ, that is, the home team, to decide the order of players' appearance.

Sometimes there will be teams playing tricks to depress the morale of the away team.

The Jazz's home court is also one of the famous devil's home courts in the NBA. Originally, fans would boo the Bucks starters when the Bucks landed at the Delta Air Lines Center.

This time, Anthony Mason was the first to appear on the stage. The Jazz fans seemed to have discussed it long ago. They actually applauded and cheered as if they were welcoming the second head of the Bucks to visit the Delta Air Lines Center.

For a moment, the expressions of the three musketeers who were still sitting on the bench changed drastically and they became restless.

The Jazz have not played their cards according to the routine, and the next will definitely put more pressure on the three of them.

Usually the team's starting order is to put the center third. If the boss is a defender, the first two are forwards, and the boss is a forward, and the first two are defenders.

The order of the Bucks' appearance at home is Cassel, Ray Allen, center, power forward, and Big Dog.

It's messed up now, and He Li, a rookie, hasn't made his debut yet. Who will the Jazz put in the last place? The answer is obvious.

Sure enough, the DJ called Ray Allen's name immediately, and the audience booed.

Ray Allen came out under pressure, clapped hands with the bench players lined up in two rows on the road, and came to the court.

Immediately after that was the big dog, who also walked to the middle of the stage with booing, and then played a "greeting salute" with Ray Allen.

The finale is Kassel, and the big one is He Li.

He Li was dizzy when he heard the cheers and applause.

Seeing this battle, Sun Zhengping asked curiously: "Is He Li so popular in the Jazz? I remember, the last one to appear, is this the treatment of the boss of the team?"

Zhang Weiping roughly understood what was going on: "Oh, this is a bit of a bully! The Jazz is clearly trying to flatter and kill He Li!
When the team plays, how can the boss be placed in the middle and the rookie be placed last?

I hope that He Li can have a correct mentality and not be affected by these off-court influences, so that this game can be played well.

I also hope that the other starting players of the Bucks will not be subject to such superficial scheming, and everyone will play with one heart and one mind and cooperate well. "

Hearing Zhang Weiping's explanation, the viewers who were watching the TV program knew how much pressure He Li was playing under because foreigners were so insidious.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of hearts all became worried about He Li.

Soon, it was the turn of the Jazz's home players to appear on the field, and the audience was also cheering, but the true feelings in it were completely different from what He Li felt before.

"What a passion! What a horror!" He Li became a little sober, but his back felt a little chilly. It was obvious that he was already sweating before hitting the ball.

Jazz starters: John Stockton, Quincy Lewis, Greg Ostertag (Great Pyrenees), Donyell Marshall, Karl Malone.

Opening jump ball.

The Bucks sent Anthony Mason as a guest center, and the Jazz played the Big Pyrenees.

Although Great Pyrenees was bulky, he was a head taller than Anthony Mason.

It has to be said that the jump ball was over before it even started.

Stockton advanced with the ball and was not in a hurry to start.

Although the Jazz are also good at fast breaks, there is not much benefit in playing fast breaks with the Bucks.

Stockton was looking for an opportunity, Malone understood, first screened and then rolled, as soon as there was space, Stockton's pass arrived.

The player who defended Malone before was He Li, and He Li was a little worried about Malone at first.

O'Neill's ass can make him recover for three days, and if Malone gives him an elbow, he may not recover in his life.

Fortunately, Malone took the initiative to go to Stockton for a pick-and-roll. Under George Karl's lightning switching system, Anthony Mason took the initiative to help He Li defend.

Naturally, He Li couldn't stand the big white bear, but what did it matter?

If Malone succeeds in the mid-range shot, it doesn't matter whether He Li gets stuck at the basket or not.

If Ma Long hits the iron in the mid-range shot and He Li cannot grab a rebound, it is not He Li's fault alone.

Besides, as a rookie, He Li will take some time to get used to his debut.

However, playing football sometimes really depends on luck.

George Karl's lightning switch defense is really effective against the pick-and-roll. Malone disassembled and received the pass and shot immediately, but he was still blocked by Anthony Mason's finger a little bit.

Ma Long hit the iron in the mid-range shot, the ball bounced out for a long distance, and the white bear just got stuck.

Relying on his long legs, He Li walked out, grabbed the rebound, and immediately passed the ball to the outside line. Ray Allen was about to turn around and start accelerating.

"Good shot, the pass is reasonable!" Director Zhang shouted excitedly seeing this.

On the court, Ray Allen spread his two "shocking" stud legs, rushed to the three-point line with a fast break, and directly hit a three-pointer with confidence.

The Jazz fans who had been cheering loudly stopped suddenly.

At that very moment, the Cedar Airline Center seemed to turn into Yellowstone Park.

"Comfortable, I will pass the ball to you if I have the chance!" Ray Allen came back after throwing the ball and clapped hands with He Li to celebrate.

He Li was happy on the surface, but actually a little uncomfortable.

"If I know that you shoot a three-pointer directly, then I will wait for you to run away before passing the ball!"

In this day and age, when passing the ball to a teammate, the pitcher dribbles the ball and there is no assist, so in double figures for assists, at least [-] or [-] balls must be passed to the teammate.

And if you meet a top singles player like Kobe, you basically don't want to get assists from them.

In just a few seconds, He Li only got one rebound, but no assists.

But He Li obviously has the opportunity to get this assist data, it can only be said that it is a pity.

The game continued, and the Jazz repeated their tricks. It seemed that Stockton still didn't know why their pick-and-roll didn't work just now.

After using it for 20 years, the tried and tested combo skill suddenly expired, which really made people unable to get used to it.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, He Li rushed to the basket again, and Anthony Mason rushed out to defend Malone's jumper.

Immediately afterwards, with a sound of Duang, it was another strike.

He Li wanted to laugh when he heard the sound of hammering iron: "I just want to defend Ma Long alone, so don't let anyone stop me!"

However, at this moment, the big white bear squeezed away He Li, jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

Big Pyrenees landed and wanted to take off for a second offensive dunk.

He Li jumped up first, and slapped the big white bear on the head from top to bottom.

It was not He Li who committed the crime, but He Li predicted that the big white bear was about to lift the ball.

Indeed, as soon as the big white bear raised the ball, He Li's Wuzhishan suppressed it.

"Good guy, a big hot pot from China! He Li's ball is really beautiful!"

The ball was blocked by He Li and bounced on the head of the big white bear. The big white bear fell to the ground with a miserable cry. After landing, He Li jumped again to grab the rebound.

Another pass, the ball fell into the hands of Ray Allen.

Why always Ray Allen?That's because the Bucks don't actively rush for rebounds because of Ray Allen.

If you have to say it, Ray Allen is too scheming and wants to score points by fast break.

However, as soon as Ray Allen started this time, he was intercepted by Stockton who suddenly appeared.

Ray Allen made a lonely rush, and just turned around and came back, Stockton took two steps forward, made a half-block shot, and hit a two-pointer.

Next, the Bucks took the initiative to attack, Ray Allen actively ran, and the dog was stopped by Marshall because he was not fast enough.

Cassell did not hesitate, and directly passed the ball to Ray Allen who just ran out.

Ray Allen felt hot, raised the knife and scored another three-pointer, completely igniting the fighting spirit and blood of the Bucks' three musketeers.

Outside the opening jazz game, the Bucks' three musketeers were full of anger. Now that the Bucks are leading in scoring, it is natural to launch a fierce attack and make persistent efforts.

Malone set up a cover for Stockton, and Stockton had a chance to make a move, but Ray Allen suddenly appeared in front of him. In the end, Stockton was a little flustered and succeeded in hitting the iron.

The big dog rushed to grab the rebound and passed the ball to Kassel, and He Li followed closely behind Kassel.

Cassel noticed He Li, and when the Jazz were about to catch up to the basket, he slammed the ball on the backboard, and He Li jumped up and smashed Huashan.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!
The back of Kassel's head seemed to have opened his eyes, one can imagine how long Kassel and He Li have been practicing together!

And He Li's grasp of the air catch is too subtle!

This take-off height, this ability to stay in the air, and the beauty of dunking, this is simply amazing! "

Not only Zhang Weiping was excited, but Sun Zhengping also laughed and said, "The impact He Li has brought us is really surprising!"

In the first minute of the game, He Li already had 1 points and 2 rebounds, and with such a wonderful alley-oop cooperation, He Li really surprised Zhang Weiping and the others.

At this time, the situation on the field is not optimistic.

"Boy, don't run too fast, be careful to dodge your waist." When Karl Malone passed by He Li, he raised his elbow.

He Li was not afraid at all when he heard this: "Did you know? I was already sweating before going on stage!"

"I'm afraid, it's good to know that you are afraid, rookie, you'd better be nice to me." Ma Long obviously misunderstood!
