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

Chapter 8 Who is Li Chengming?
In the past, the attention of the coaches in the NBA was not high, due to the reasons of the times, and the factors of their relatively marginal roles.

Later, Dayao joined the NBA as the No. [-] pick, which is undoubtedly a win-win for the NBA and domestic fans.

For the NBA, this is a big step for them to open up the Chinese market; for domestic fans, they can finally see domestic players in the NBA as core identities on the stage of the highest level of basketball in the world.

But in the long years, there seem to be only three domestic players who have left traces in the NBA. Who would have thought that one day in the same NBA draft, three domestic players would be selected?
This is a big surprise for domestic audiences.

Of course, just like the media, a big question mark soon appeared on the heads of all domestic fans, "Who is this Li Chengming?"

Because it was spelled in English, they couldn't figure out what the name was for a while, but it is undeniable that they are from Huaguo. It is just a guess to say that the NBA made a mistake. This highly commercialized professional league is not a grassroots team of the CBA. , if they didn't figure out the situation, how could they mark it directly?
Soon a reporter contacted the management of the Mavericks, hoping to get a scaly claw from them. After all, they were the ones who selected Li Chengming with the last pick.

And the general manager of the Mavericks is also a little confused. How the hell do I know who Li Chengming is? Isn't it all chosen by the Magic?

The draft lottery has been traded, even if they want to pick a passer-by, that's...impossible, at least they have to be registered rookies.

The reporters knew that it was the Magic that actually selected Li Chengming, and they were even more confused. Although Li Chengming had participated in the Magic team's trial training before, the Magic team is not a popular team now, so the domestic media did not pay enough attention to them. , It is even more impossible to pay attention to the trial training.

Unless Sun Dasheng also went...

At this time, everyone knows that whoever can get the first-hand news may be a very important opportunity for their careers, so at the same time, several domestic sports reporters stationed in the United States flew to Beijing immediately after receiving the news. Orlando, but it turned out to be shut down.

Although the other party admitted that they had indeed chosen Li Chengming, and that Li Chengming was indeed from Huaguo, it was inconvenient to disclose other aspects.

Then they actually started to promote their own Orlando Summer League. This league was first established in 2001 and hosted by the Orlando Magic. The Magic often sends two teams, the white team and the blue team, to compete at the same time.

In fact, it is equivalent to giving each team the opportunity to inspect and adjust their lineups after the draft is over, because most of the summer league participants are rookies, undrafted draft picks, free agents and overseas players who want to win contracts.

This year's Orlando Summer League will be held from July 7th to 8th. There are a total of six participating teams, namely the Magic, Nets, Pacers, Thunder, Heat and Bulls.

It's already July, and there's still a week left, so it's okay to wait.

Of course, there are still reporters waiting outside the arena, hoping to squat to see the faces of the Hua people after the training. Although they don’t know what Li Chengming looks like yet, if they are lucky, they might meet them. .

……

At this time, Li Chengming was in the arena conducting confrontation training with those undrafted picks invited by the Magic to participate in the trial training together, and at the same time testing his ability to redeem from the system mall.

At the beginning, after getting the 10 calorie consumption and discovering the changes in his body, Li Chengming was mostly happy, as if he could take off immediately, but after he really searched in the system mall, he fell into a difficult situation. making a choice.

There are many good things in the mall, but the "asking price" is too high, and he can't afford to exchange them.

Then we can only settle for the next best thing and find the ability to benefit.

First of all, the "Hundred Shots and Hundred Scores Card" is definitely needed. I have already experienced the taste of opening and cheating once. To be honest, Li Chengming wished he could just buy ten cards.

But first of all, a card can only be used in a single game. Whether it is training or some unimportant games, it is too wasteful to use it, and it is easy to expose your true strength if you don't use it.

And it is also prone to dependence. Compared with this one-time on-the-spot experience, Li Chengming still prefers to save up and exchange for some lasting skills later.

So he temporarily exchanged two cards and used them again when necessary.

Then he exchanged for a "Shooting Accelerator", worth 3 points, which directly increased his shooting speed while maintaining the efficiency of the original feel.

This is because Li Chengming felt that his shooting speed itself was too slow, which was a weakness. It was actually quite obvious in the training match during the previous trial training. Facing the defense of the jumping man, his shooting was too slow after getting rid of it. easily disturbed.

If it wasn't for 100% hit cards, his performance would definitely be a lot worse that time.

And he tried a little bit in training, and felt that as long as he was willing to shoot faster, it was like playing a shooting machine, fast and accurate--Li Chengming's shooting touch is relatively soft, which was developed in the past .

He doesn't just rely on his body to play!

Then with five points left, Li Chengming gritted his teeth and directly exchanged for the ability of "Iron-Blooded Big Jumper". The so-called Iron-Blooded Big Jumper relies on self-motivation. , and then add the buff to the shot.

This is a skill that increases more when one's shooting is more accurate and the state is better. For example, Li Chengming's normal shooting of 60 balls (mid-range shooting) is about 70-5. It can be improved by at least 100%. If the state is better or the shooting improves in the future, it can directly reach [-]%.

Of course, this is in training, but this skill is mainly used in the game. That is to say, if Li Chengming originally had a [-]% to [-]% hit rate, adding this can increase it to [-]% to [-]%. possible.

With his accuracy and shooting speed, coupled with Li Chengming's own basic ability, he feels that he now at least has the ability to win a contract and stay, and the rest is left to his fate. After all, strength is one thing. Whether the team needs you is another matter.

Of course, at the same time, his task panel has been updated again:
[Current task: Join the NBA, successfully join the NBA as a rookie and sign a contract with the team, it will be considered as the completion of the task, reward 20 calories consumed]

Although Li Chengming was selected and then traded to the Magic, this does not mean that the Magic will definitely sign him.

The Magic will definitely strive for results next season. After all, they entered the playoffs last season, and they must at least make a breakthrough next season, so the trading market is what they value most.

If Li Chengming wants to occupy a team spot, the next summer league is very important. He must perform well and show his value in helping the team.

In fact, Li Chengming feels that commercial value is also very important, but after listening to his father, he also feels that he can gain a firm foothold before talking about other things. Otherwise, even if he can stay now, he may not be able to get many opportunities in the future.

Without opportunities, he cannot complete tasks, receive rewards, and advance further.

Relying on training alone is too slow and may not be effective. Now he can feel it. Although NBA-intensive training is helpful for the improvement of a newcomer like him, it is definitely not as good as opening up, and his start is also doomed. Take off fast, there's no way to wait for slow progress.

Of course, he is not in a hurry now.

Waiting for the summer league to flex its muscles again!
