Chapter 62
During the game, it was late at night in the United States, but it was still daytime on the other side of the ocean. After the game ended, after a noon fermentation, all related forums and post bar discussion areas on the Internet were boiling in the afternoon.

Since the turn of the millennium, the domestic Internet has developed rapidly, and the number of netizens has also increased rapidly every year. Fans who watch NBA have also gradually changed from chatting offline to discussing online.

"Look, Li Chengming dunks James! [Picture]"

"This is still a headline, is it true or not?"

"Can't you read English?"

"Can any buddies help with the translation?"

"The general idea is today's game between the Cavaliers and the Magic. Li Chengming dunked James. In the end, the Cavaliers also won. Li Chengming scored 16 points, and James scored more than 30 points..."

"Fucking shit! Fat guy is awesome, you're so awesome."

"Jamie, come out and match up, I'm having a great time today, I want one to beat ten!"

"To be honest, when I looked at Li Chengming's physical test data before, I wondered if the test was wrong. How did such a weight jump so high? No one has discovered this talent. But looking at it today, this is really the pinnacle. O'Neal?"

"It seems that the jump height is indeed the same. James is obviously unprepared so he didn't jump to the highest, so he didn't touch the ball, but the fat guy's wingspan is really strong. If it is shorter, he will really be covered. Big Yao cried enviously."

"Li Chengming proved today that it's not that he can't fight like this, it's just that he has to protect his body and can't fight like this often."

"That's right. When I watched him play before, I really thought he was a floor runner, bouncing like a matchbox. It turned out that he was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

"It's a pity. I didn't watch the game. I knew I would skip class today."

"Mom, come out and see God!"

"Today is the fat god of basketball!"

"There was Dayao in the past, and Li Chengming now. Let's play Kongkongyi quickly. I want to see Chinese players in the NBA fighting for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms."

……

For a rookie like Li Chengming, such a ball will add to his popularity is hard to predict.

If it is said that he was only favored by domestic fans because of his nationality before, and his performance among rookies is indeed not bad.

He also had a good shot against James in the preseason before, but the impact of the preseason was not so great, and not many people paid attention to it, so after this shot, Li Chengming suddenly became more fans because of his "skills". fans.

And the sensation in the United States is actually no less than that in China, especially since this event was broadcast live across the United States, it is impossible to confiscate the videotape.

Among the five best balls and ten best balls, this ball topped the list, and it was tantamount to repeatedly whipping James.

Although the league officials have been advocating James for several years, new stars have emerged in the United States in recent years, and Kobe is still at the peak. James can only be regarded as the top star, not the only or the most popular.

And at the same time, they have been sparing no effort in the development of overseas markets. Besides Dayao, they also hope to produce another Huaguo star, preferably younger, so that when Dayao retires, they can just pick him up stick.

Although this sacrificed James' face to a certain extent, they have a chance to get back the field. At worst, the next game arranges for the two to match up and give James more shots so that he can fight back.

This is also the "evenly matched" scene that the league officials always like to create, although this is a bit of a compliment to Li Chengming.

Ordinary fans in the United States still respect strength. Li Chengming played well before. He didn't play many games but his efficiency has always been very high. He also has his own role, but there are some passerby fans in Orlando.

His performance in the game against the Suns began to attract the attention of many people, but after this nationally broadcast game, he will have a lot more passerby fans, and there will be more hardcore fans, and there may even be some people who hate him. James loves him.

Of course, correspondingly, he will also be hostile by James fans.

In addition to being discriminated against because of skin color, on the emerging social news site Reddit in the past two years, there are even James fans bidding to have an assassin assassinate Li Chengming.

And in the latest issue of TNT's NBA Insider column, Barkley and Kenny Smith, the classic partners of several retired stars, also started a discussion on this matter.

For these media people, they don't care whether they are blowing up or criticizing the active stars. The key is what is topical and can arouse discussion. This is also the pursuit of this kind of program. After all, it depends on the ratings and makes money.

"I'm not exaggerating, I really see Shaq in him. But I want to say to you, Shaq, if you're watching, this kid may have a longer life than you, maybe he Not at your peak, but he knows how to protect himself."

"And I heard that he works much harder than you..."

It is said that Li Chengming is like O'Neal since Li Chengming entered the NBA, mainly because of his weight and body shape, and then he likes to find some contact points far-fetched, while ignoring the fact that there is a huge difference between the two.

Of course, fans also like to watch this. After all, O'Neal has been touted, and Li Chengming can be compared to legendary stars. Fans on both sides are happy.

So who is not happy?
"Hey, guys, I think you overlooked a problem, that is, when Shaq first entered the league, he was not in the shape he is now. At that time, he could run and jump very actively, and then he gained muscle or put on weight. After that, his injuries gradually increased."

"So you mean..."

"So what I mean is also very simple. I am not very optimistic about his future. His physical condition is very dangerous. If he sticks to the previous style of play, it may be much safer. Of course, the fans may not like it; but now In this way, everyone loves to watch it, but it is not a good thing for him.

"But young people, it's understandable to blindly pursue gorgeousness because of the public opinion, so I don't like him..."

……

When Jon came to school the next day, he was quickly surrounded by his friends in the class. The reason was very simple. They watched yesterday's game.

"Lee is so amazing, that's LeBron!" A little fat man with freckles on his nose was amazed, as if he was dreaming of that scene yesterday.

"Yeah, I never thought that one day he could really dunk James in the game, and he actually did it!"

"I thought of it a long time ago..." Jon said with a proud face: "During the preseason before, the two of them had competed in Huaguo, and even earlier in the training camp in Las Vegas At that time, Li was not afraid of him at all."

"Oh yeah, I didn't expect that James couldn't even break through Lee's defense."

"Based on his wall-breaking technique, who can he break through without using elbows?"

"Haha, it looks like James is about the same as us."

This made everyone laugh. To be honest, they were beaten so badly by Li Chengming last night that they almost vomited.

Although Li Chengming's body shape is already very intimidating, and they have seen his game to some extent, but watching the game and colliding with them in person, and then experiencing the impact feeling for themselves is still very different.

What is the feeling of being hit by a wall? They couldn't understand it before, but now they know it.

Also, with two people hanging on his body, he can still score dunks. He has only seen and heard O'Neal's brilliant record on TV, and Li Chengming "did it too."

After the beating, they all felt very shameless, and were directly pressed to the ground and rubbed.

But yesterday, when I saw Li Chengming actually dunking James, the shadow in my heart dissipated in an instant.

NBA superstars are his background boards, so what are we?
At this time, Jon suddenly asked: "Then do you want to call him to fight again next time?"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a while, and then one said that the weather was really nice today, and the other said that they had to go out for a walk first after eating too much breakfast, and they all dispersed after a while.

Jon curled his lips, then chuckled.

Now you guys won't bother me with this matter anymore, right?

……

Li Chengming woke up early this morning and found that his bones seemed to be going soft, and then he realized that fighting back to back was still too much for him now.

To be honest, I didn’t feel much during the game last night. Maybe it was because I was excited at the time. When I hit my body, energy constantly emerged to support myself, but now it has become a sequela.

However, compared to after the game against the Suns, it feels less exaggerated now. It may really be like what the team doctor said. He just hasn't fully adapted to the intensity of the NBA, and he will get used to it after playing a few more games.

In fact, physical strength can of course be cultivated, and there is another problem of habit.

Of course, Li Chengming would not lie on the bed, but he still managed to get up. First, he did some stretching exercises. After eating, he went to help McGilton's family walk the dog to digest food. On the way, he also met some fans. I greeted them, and there were two fans who wanted to sign autographs and take photos, and they were satisfied.

Now he is well-known in Orlando, and the number of fans is gradually increasing, which is a good thing.

Maybe in a while, endorsements and so on will come.

But when he came back from a stroll, his father told him the good news with a red face: "TNT, do you know that they sent an invitation to let you have time to record a show for them."

"I?"

Father Li laughed and said, "Of course it's you, is it still me?"

Li Chengming laughed dryly before saying, "Isn't it because of that ball again?"

In fact, it wasn't just because of that one ball, because Li Chengming had some good performances before that, making him a leader among rookies, but this one ball exploded all the previous accumulation.

Coupled with the fact that the Magic are now in a good momentum, with Howard's violent dunks, Turkoglu's go-betweens, and Li Chengming's footsteps in the low post, the overall tactical play is also good, which has attracted a group of fans. Of course, Li Chengming also received high attention personally.

Of course, the main reason lies in that goal. Li Chengming became famous this time by taking advantage of James' popularity, just as James became famous by taking advantage of Jordan and Kobe's popularity.
