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

Chapter 26

Next, Li Chengming practiced against Kobe, Anthony and others for a few rounds, and the defense made them miserable.

Through Durant's style of play, they have already seen Li Chengming's weakness-in fact, they can see it just by looking at his size. good.

Kobe even teased him with a crotch piercing, which ended with a dunk.

Although he finally came to pat Li Chengming on the shoulder as a sweet date, Li Chengming was still depressed and kept it in his heart, and he would call back sooner or later.

While Li Chengming was depressed, Howard was even more depressed.

Because even Mike Miller can score points on Li Chengming's head. His three-pointers are very accurate, and there is almost room for swinging outside the three-point line, and he doesn't even need to go inside.

Li Chengming got it right twice just by looking at his lower body movements, and successfully interfered.

Everyone can fight, but I can't?
But fortunately, although Li Chengming was basically unable to defend, he could basically fight back on the offensive end.

Especially because they didn't know their own style very well, so they made a mistake. After all, they didn't expect this fat man to be so flexible and have so many small changes.

In this way, he won't lose face completely, and Howard can also save some face. Anyway, he will never say that he has only attacked and not defended against Li Cheng before.

In fact, Li Chengming's current style of play is most suitable for this kind of American heads-up, because his dribbling is definitely at a very average level in the NBA level, but the basic skills of back body and footwork are very solid, coupled with fast The shooting, and the Jagged jumper.

People who met him for the first time would tremble three times when he yelled at him, because his figure is that of a soprano, his voice is powerful and powerful, and his roar is full of shock, which is especially obvious in the relatively quiet training hall.

This also made everyone have a deep impression on him. Of course, if he can't defend and attack, he will be treated as a joke, but now he can only be said to be strong in offense and weak in defense.

And in the face of so many stars with different styles, he also has different performances, and he is not the kind of person who can eat all kinds of tricks.

Although after familiarizing himself with his style of play, players like Stoudemire and Chandler who have continuous explosive power can keep up with the limit, but it is still difficult to defend, because Li Chengming's accurate shooting makes his offensive threat even greater .

When he was sitting down to rest, Li Chengming suddenly pointed at a person passing by and said strangely: "Hey, why didn't he come up just now?"

He was also impressed by this guy, after all, there are not many black people who look so mature-this year's champion is also considered one.

Howard took a look, and suddenly smiled a little subtly.

LeBron James' complexion (one) turned (black), and he also took a look at Li Chengming, but pretended not to hear him without saying a word.

In the end, it was Howard who dragged the ignorant boy away, and whispered in his ear: "Don't you know, that guy never participated in our heads-up. The main reason is that this is not suitable for him..."

"You mean he's good at singles?"

"Uh, I didn't say that." Howard thought to himself how this kid can speak better than me, but luckily no one heard him.

As soon as he thought about it, he saw James walking past him expressionlessly again.

You came here on purpose to eavesdrop, right?

Li Chengming and Howard were speechless for a while, and then Li Chengming suddenly realized, and said a little strangely: "But I heard that he is very powerful in China..."

James entered the NBA one term earlier than Howard, and they were both the No. [-] picks in the draft. James' momentum is much bigger than Howard's.

Not to mention, the Cavaliers he led made it to the Finals this year.

Although it was swept away...

Now many domestic fans only watch Texas Xiaoqiang, Kobe, Iverson and others. There are no James fans around Li Chengming, so he doesn't know much about him.

Howard looked at James' back and shook his head, and said, "After all, the game is played by five players, and if you can't play heads-up, it doesn't mean you can't do it in other aspects."

Li Chengming still doesn't quite understand it. After all, he is playing basketball where "superstars attract double-teams". Besides, Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe, including Dayao and Howard himself are all like this. Why is that guy different? up?

However, he also knows that his knowledge of basketball is too shallow, so he accepts it humbly and treats it as another lesson for him to join the NBA.

Oh yes, of course it doesn't work if one person is good, so is it better if the more stars are grouped together?
Well, it seems to be feasible.

……

Although it seems that he accidentally provoked someone, Li Chengming is generally quite happy here.

After competing with those stars, everyone recognized his strength. Of course, even if he has no strength, for Howard's face, everyone will give him a chance, but it is more convincing to prove his own strength, and everyone will be more convinced. willing to communicate with him.

Even Kobe didn't see him as he saw the enemy (O'Neal?) as Howard said, but was happy to give him advice.

Maybe it's also because I saw some of his shooting moves are similar to my own, so I think he is my fan.

In fact, Li Chengming learned from Jordan...

Participating in the training camp this time has really helped Li Chengming a lot. He has learned the tricks of many stars, and he also knows that there is really a gap between himself and these stars.

He relies on his size and strength, and he has a fast and stable shot with one hand, which indeed surprised others, but gradually they can find some ways to deal with it, especially using experience to prevent Li Chengming from being comfortable. .

There are also methods such as "removing the stool". If this timing is well grasped, Li Chengming will even feel exhausted at the moment of the shot, because the lack of a fulcrum may cause subsequent movements to be deformed.

Of course, Li Chengming will also grow up, he will learn from experience, and he will not commit the crime again next time he fights for it.

However, because there are only a few rounds with everyone, it is impossible to master it all at once.

So on the whole, he still looks relatively good, mainly because he looks "cumbersome" on the defensive end, and there is no teammate who can help share the defensive pressure in the heads-up. Facing these NBA stars with unique skills, if Li Chengming If they can still be restrained like they are facing Howard, then they should feel ashamed.

In fact, if Howard can cleverly use his running and jumping advantages, he will not be ashamed of facing Li Chengming like before.

And Li Chengming's low position is also very important for the torture of these insiders of the US team. Being a sparring partner must not only be a one-on-one match, but also simulate the rules of the international arena. There is no such thing as the 24-second zone, three-second zone or back in the NBA. body five seconds violation.

After all, some of these NBA rules are entirely for game balance, restricting some players with the same BUG, ​​such as O'Neal and Barkley, and mainly for increasing visibility.

But the international arena is entirely a competitive consideration. After all, apart from the US team, other countries often do not have so many dazzling stars. What they can do is to maintain the tacit understanding of the team and use the whole to deal with the outstanding points of the US team.

In the following days, Li Chengming also watched a classic "blue and white confrontation match" in the American team's training camp, that is, a team training match in which one team wore blue jerseys and the other team wore white jerseys.

However, this training match is different in that it is broadcast live across the United States, and it is actually a warm-up for the America's Cup that will follow.

The two teams are led by Kobe and James. Kobe also has Anthony and this year's No. [-] pick Durant, Howard is in James' white team, and Kidd and others.
