After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 16 Three Wins in a Row

Of course, it’s okay if you just feel sorry for it, but there are always people with chaotic rhythms and doubts.

Some people talked about the important matters of the national team. As a young player, Li Chengming didn't have any sense of collective honor. He didn't want to sign up for the national team first, but came to the NBA draft instead. How is this different from Wang Zhizhi back then?
Back then, Dazhi had a very unpleasant fight with the Bayi team and the men's basketball team because of his participation in the NBA, and he only recovered recently.

The men's basketball team chose to remain silent at this time. They would not pay attention to the media. After all, the media did not speak ill of them, and it was impossible for them to stand up and speak for Li Chengming.

Fortunately, Li Chengming is now in the United States, and no one can shut his mouth. After the third Summer League game just ended, in an interview, he stated that he would like to fight for the country if he had the opportunity, but the premise is that the country The team invited him.

There is nothing to say about this. Although the national honor is above everything else, people look down on you. You can't just stick your face to others' cold ass, right?

Now that the ball hit the men's basketball team, they had to speak out.

First of all, it is natural to welcome Li Chengming, Barabara, and then explain that this is definitely not our mistake. No one knew Li Chengming before. Those who don’t know are innocent. Satisfied, will not adjust casually in the short term.

Want to slap them in the face with Li Chengming?

nonexistent!

Even in their hearts, they might wish that Li Chengming's performance would fade in the next game, and Kong Tianyi and Sun Dasheng could both rise in the second game.

The performance of Space Yi in the first game is not worse than Li Chengming's in terms of statistics, but the efficiency is lower, but Sun Dasheng really has nothing to say.

They are all second-round picks, and they are still the last picks. Why is the gap so big?

Because the Orlando Summer League has fewer participating teams and the schedule is relatively short, each team’s game rhythm is relatively tight. Basically, there is one game a day. They fought one game each, and they all won.

Li Chengming played in both games. Needless to say, his performance, the key is that he has become the core of the team's offense without knowing it.

In case of indecision, let Li Cheng single-play first, and then divide the ball after attracting double-teams.

It was extremely easy to play like this, but the opponent just couldn't guard him.

To be honest, with his size and strength, playing in a mere summer league is really a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow.

Many people are still not optimistic about him, because they think he is now domineering with his body, making it impossible for other Summer League players to fight against him, but in the NBA, there are some people who are not inferior to him in terms of strength and body, not to mention there will be special arrangements With his tactics, his weaknesses will be exposed at that time, and he will definitely be deflated.

During this period of time, some people have specifically summarized his technical characteristics. In the past, there were too few materials about him. Only the Magic team had trial training, and they were only a little impressed by his shooting and rich offensive methods. During the three summer league matches, some of Li Chengming's playing styles and personal habits were also recorded by the scouts.

After all, the Summer League is not only for each team to train rookies, but also may prepare for the next trade.

If there is a fancy player, maybe he can also intervene in the transaction later.

Li Chengming's performance naturally attracted the attention of other teams, but his size and certain hidden dangers are easy to discourage people.

The so-called hidden danger is also related to body shape. He just thinks that he is easy to get injured. Although he plays on the floor, his weight is too heavy for his body.

In addition, on the offensive side, Li Chengming's skills are very solid, and he can occasionally show off his tricks. Apart from breaking through the habit of taking the left side and easily being seen through, there is nothing wrong with him; but on the defensive end, he switched to a small and fast guard. Then there is absolutely no way.

This is something that can't be helped. No matter how flexible he is, he still can't violate the laws of physics. Naturally, it's not so easy for this huge body to move sideways or turn around.

Fortunately, Li Chengming can still swing to the fourth position, as long as he guards the penalty area, the low position is his sphere of influence. With his wingspan and strength, even if he doesn't jump, these opponents will not be able to break through easily.

Moreover, although Li Chengming's instant explosive power is average, his anticipation and reaction ability are very strong. As long as he takes off immediately, he can also contribute to the blocking scene.

The assistant coach watched too much and even thought, what if Li Chengming was allowed to play in the paint all the time?
But in that case, his height will not have an advantage. After all, he can barely top the inside line in his early two meters in the college playoffs. In the NBA, 206 is too short.

Although Ben Wallace is not tall, his bounce and exploding head can somehow make up for it.

Li Chengming's playing style is still floor-flowing. After all, due to his size, the load is still relatively heavy if he really wants to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, so most of the time he can't jump if he can.

However, although the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, Li Chengming played very smartly and knew how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

If the opponent wants to fight him hard, then he will use skills, if the opponent wants to use skills, then he will break through ten games with one effort.

The contest between Li Chengming and the opponent's rookie in these two games is also a highlight. After all, as the last pick, every time a rookie performs better in a game, it is tantamount to a slap in the face.

The rookie that the Heat played was Daquan Cook, the 21st overall pick in the first round of this year. Because the Heat reached a deal with the 75ers, he was sent to the Heat after being selected by the 75ers.

With a net height of only 192 cm, he is actually a bit short for a shooting guard. In addition, his running and jumping talents are relatively average. The better point is that he already has the NBA-level confrontation ability and is very strong. Anyway, when Li Chengming is facing him It was not easy to knock him away.

But after that, he never came to defend Li Chengming again...

这场比赛库克只打了19分钟，8投3中拿到9分3助攻，还额外贡献了4次失误，跟28分5篮板4助攻的李成名完全没法比。

What Li Chengming regrets is that Durant did not play in the game against the Supersonics. The Supersonics obviously cherish the No. [-] player. You must know that if he hadn't met "Oden the Great", Durant would be very big in other years. The probability will be the No. [-] pick.

The rookies that need to be cultivated naturally have to be saved, and Durant also performed very well in the first show of the Summer League, which proved their vision.

However, he still faced another rookie of the Sonics, Jeff Green, the fifth pick in the first round of this year, who was traded from the Celtics.

Jeff Green is 206cm tall and is also a swingman in the forward position. Although he only weighs 106kg, he has good confrontation ability, although he was still crushed in the face of Li Chengming.

The Supersonics put him in the fourth position, just in line with Li Chengming, and the two exploded each other in terms of offense and defense.

Jeff Green can't prevent Li Chengming, and it is also difficult for Li Chengming to limit him, because he is also very rich in offensive methods, and he is already a very mature NBA rotation player.

And this guy is different from the silly black guy he met before. He has a good golf quotient. After trying to face Li Chengming with his back, he simply held the ball face up. Li Chengming's defense was a little bit behind his footsteps up.

The key is that his skills at the basket are very good, and his wingspan of 216 also ensures that his shots will not be easily interfered by Li Chengming.

If it weren't for Li Chengming's low-post deterrence, and the scoring after attracting double-teams, he did a better job than him. With 17 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, the Magic might not win this game.

Of course, Gortat's performance is also critical, because with Li Chengming, Redick took a rest, and the team relied on Li Chengming and Gortat.
