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

Chapter 27 Standing Tai Sui (12)

After the start of the game, the white team took the lead. Kidd and James connected many times, but soon Kobe stood up and made almost omnipotent shots from inside and outside.

The white team once led by more than ten points, but was always slowly chased back by the blue team.

Wearing the number [-] jersey, Bryant looked omnipotent tonight, his teammates were overshadowed by him, and the opposite opponent was the same.

Then Li Chengming suddenly realized why Howard said that James is not strong in singles. His singles are not bad. It is difficult to guard against the edge.

Once he attracts the defense and assists his teammates, his way of playing makes Li Chengming's eyes shine, and he follows thoughtfully.

However, James is not without weaknesses. His shooting seems to be flawed, which may be inaccurate, which also caused many of his shots to be in the restricted area, and he rarely tried mid-range and three-pointers.

Of course, such a weakness was quickly caught, and the blue team restricted him, forcing him to catch the ball in an unfamiliar position, and forcing him to pass the ball once he broke through.

At the same time, still relying on Kobe's breakthrough and three-pointers, the blue team gradually eroded the score gap.

Kobe was in excellent form this time. If he hadn't been able to stand up in time every time, the blue team might not have been able to keep up with the opponent.

However, when the game was more than halfway through the third quarter, Kobe made a steal and went straight past Kidd. He was about to hit a back dunk, but was chased down by James, preventing this possible key goal to tie the score. Will become a "classic painting".

Li Chengming couldn't help but stood up and cheered when he saw this hat, just as James passed by him with an "I'm awesome" attitude and glanced at him lightly.

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Damn, this black fellow is so good at holding grudges!
Didn't I just say a few words to you, and you're hating Kobe, what's none of my business?
"Kobe come on! Blue team come on!"

What do young people call young people when they are not arrogant? What Li Chengming can do is to support Kobe as an idol in the later time, and also hope that the blue team will put down the white team. Let's see what the black guy has to say of.

Sure enough, Kobe did not let him down. At the last moment of the game, when the blue team was still three points behind, he first ignored James' defense and hit a tie three-pointer, and then scored a goal to overtake the score under James' defense.

Then Bosh made two free throws for the white team, and Kobe hit another goal, but after the white team successfully scored with a counterattack, the blue team fell behind by one point in the last 20 seconds, and Kobe made a crucial quasi-lore against Prince. The audience is boiling.

This game was broadcast live across the entire meter, in fact, it was equivalent to an All-Star Game, even more intense than the All-Star Game.

There are still 6 seconds left for the opponent. The white team actually still has a chance, but James still misses the lore under Kobe's defense.

Li Chengming was very excited about this ball, because he saw that Kobe actually reserved a shot for James, but James didn't dare to shoot at the first time, he had to break through and kill the crowd, and then lost his balance. In the case of an unconventional shot, the final strike is actually predictable.

At that moment, Li Chengming even felt that this lore shot "I can do it", just a step back or a turnaround jumper is enough, and the concept of that guy is not that strong suddenly became more firm in his heart.

If he was on the court, he would even shoot directly from outside the three-point line the moment he came out to catch the ball, because at that time the inside line was full of people, it would definitely not be easy to squeeze in, and it would be too late for back-up singles, and Kobe still let it go. There is some distance, and it is too late to interfere.

But Kobe's defense is obviously against people. Li Chengming may not be like this, so it's hard to say.

"KOBE! KOBE!"

At this time, the auditorium and the bench were cheering, but Li Chengming calmed down at this time, and just patted Howard on the shoulder when he was off.

Howard was obviously not very happy after losing the game, but he suddenly thought of something, and he was happy again.

Li Chengming looked a little puzzled, but after asking, he found out that he made a bet with Kidd before the game, and then the team lost, but he won.

"How much did you bet?"

"Ten thousand, hehe..."

Needless to say, it must be a knife.

Li Chengming: "..."

It's not that I don't understand the world of the rich, but that I don't understand the world of rich people.

……

On August 8, the Copa America in Las Vegas finally started.

Li Chengming, as one of the training partners of the US team during this period, happened to be fine when he returned to Orlando, so he accepted the invitation to watch the game on the spot and sat on the edge of the front bench as Howard's "relative and friend".

At the same time, he continues to serve as a sparring partner in normal times. Compared with the work of a sparring partner, his progress has surprised the coaching staff. People feel surprised.

Although his defense still hasn't improved much, after all, his body is too restricted, and his weight restricts his movement speed, so even if he can keep up with the reaction and predict the opponent after knowing the habit, he can still succeed. Then once or twice, most of the time, I still can't keep up with the opponent's footsteps.

But in terms of offense, he seems to be stronger than before, and his speed is also faster, as if his body has become lighter.

Moreover, after the American men's basketball team confirmed the lineup for this America's Cup, Chandler and Howard on the inside are both defensive-oriented, so Li Chengming's training partner is even more important, and they can test their ability to face international insiders. Defensive skills.

Howard also finally personally realized how powerful Li Chengming is on offense. If he can find a way to evade Li Chengming's defense, then he really can't stand up to a word when defending Li Chengming's offense.

Then the two began to exchange their experiences, and then slowly found a way, especially when Li Chengming made the first move, he must not jump, because there is a high probability that it is a fake move.

Everyone always has some habits in playing. Li Chengming's habit is that he always likes to feint for the first time. The next time the opponent takes a move, he will go directly to it, and the opponent will continue to test if he doesn't take a move.

But generally speaking, these two people are still not very able to guard against him. Even though Chandler is taller, he is also thinner. Getting to the basket, the offensive methods are too rich.

This made Howard a little strange, feeling that Li Chengming didn't seem to show such skills in the training camp before.

In fact, of course they didn't know that during the time of sparring before, Li's father had returned to Orlando to help his son sign a formal contract. The two-year total was 75 yuan, and the first year's annual salary was 35 yuan.

The system also sent a reward at the same time, and Li Chengming also used this reward to immediately buy a "commodity".

In fact, at this time, Li Chengming valued two skills, one was "Standing Tai Sui" and the other was "Sturdy as a Rock".

These two skills are both 10 points, and one is biased towards low-post offense, and the other is biased towards low-post defense, both of which can be described as low-post killers.

[Lidi Taisui (10): Low-position attack enhances BUFF skills, strength increases by 5%, aim increases by 10%, footsteps increase by 15%]

[Sturdy as a rock (10): Can withstand any opponent's back to attack, force them to jump or pass, have a certain chance to interfere, block shots and steal...]

But after some weighing, Li Chengming finally chose the former.

He has discussed this point with his father before. In the future, he will first start off the bench in the team, so it is more important to show offensive ability, especially if it can form a restraint and create opportunities for other teammates, which will help Due to the coach's tactical arrangement, it also helps to keep him in the team.

Howard and Lewis Lee must not be able to compete for their fame, including Turkoglu. He is not easy to go to the backcourt, so there is no suitable position for him in the starting lineup. It would be good to be the sixth man to grab points.

The cards of the system, such as the "Hundred Shots and Hundred Hit Cards", are valid for a single game, and they will be gone after one round. They are one-time consumables, but their effects are against the sky.

Just like in the trial training, the so-called "open space" does not mean that the position must be vacated, and the shot after shaking out the space can be regarded as the "vacant space" recognized by the system, that's how awesome it is.

And these skills are permanently effective, the disadvantage is that the same type cannot be superimposed on each other-well, this cannot be said to be a disadvantage, but a normal mechanism.

For example, there are two advanced versions of the skills in the mall, "Lidi Yan Luo" and "Indestructible", but they both cost 20 points. Li Chengming can't afford it now, and it won't be the same as the current effect when he buys it. superimposed, but completely covered.

Now that he has the skill of low-post assault buff, Li Chengming can now take further advantage of his body, especially the improvement in footsteps, which makes him more flexible.

In addition, he has indeed learned something from training during this period of time, and it is reasonable to become more and more powerful.

Even on the defensive end, he is not completely unimproved, at least he can keep up with some speed.

This is also due to the lighter body brought about by the ten-point energy consumption, because he has become thinner. Although it is not "visible to the naked eye", Li Chengming feels that his belly seems to have disappeared a lot.

And his offense has strengthened, and the test of Howard and others' inside defense has improved, which also prompted them to be more serious.

As a result, when they faced the insiders of those American countries in the America's Cup, they suddenly felt that they were nothing more than that.

Although these players have different styles, there are strength type, speed type, blue collar like Chandler who focuses on defense, and inside offensive core like Stoudemire who pays equal attention to shooting and pick-and-roll, and someone who dominates the team's offensive support. .

But no one is as threatening to attack inside as Li Chengming, no one.

This is not all to say that Li Chengming's strength can crush them now, but it happens that Howard and Chandler, including Stoudemire, are most afraid of Li Chengming's low-level and hard-working type.

To be honest, how many insiders are you not afraid of?

When Shaquille O'Neal criss-crossed the inside of the league, other teams had to equip their teams with a meat shield to block him. This is deterrence.

I don't know if Li Chengming can grow to that level in the future...
