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

Chapter 95 Fighting the UAE again (3?)
"What's the matter, what are you thinking?"

Li Chengming came back from the "daze" and saw that it was the head coach Van Gundy. He hurriedly stood up, but he waved his hand to stop him.

Then he sat down next to Li Chengming, looked at Howard who was practicing free throws on the court, and said with a smile: "Li, your progress is really beyond everyone's expectations. I didn't think of it beforehand, so about The question of your integration with the team, the coaching staff thinks a little too simple.

"Seeing that you played it, I wanted to add a little more tasks to you. But basketball games are not a one-plus-one arithmetic problem. The combination of you and Dwight is not as easy as we thought, especially the two of you. They all have outstanding flaws, although it is not easy for opponents to catch them all at once..."

Li Chengming couldn't help laughing, then nodded and said: "I know, sir. I also think about the problem too simply. The NBA game is not my college league, and my teammates no longer rely on me Those who can win... well, ordinary people..."

Van Gundy couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you know what surprised me the most about you? It's this kind of maturity beyond your age. If you talk about other aspects, you still have a lot of room for improvement, especially defense and body shape, but in terms of mentality , you are even more mature than I expected."

Li Chengming scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Van Gundy patted him on the shoulder again, then got up and said: "Okay, today's training is almost over, let's disband!"

It is said to be disbanded, but in fact everyone has not been able to disperse separately, because it is not a game day, but the recent momentum of the Magic has attracted a lot of media attention, so including the head coach Van Gundy, they were surrounded by reporters afterwards I want him to talk about his views on Li Chengming.

In these two games alone, Li Chengming is the Magic's most popular player.

Van Gundy said: "Lee is a great rookie. He brings a whole new energy to our team, especially as a rookie. He has an unafraid momentum, which is rare."

A reporter asked: "In the future, will you arrange more roles for him, such as more shots, offense with the ball..."

Van Gundy glanced at the same Asian face as Li Chengming, and couldn't tell whether it was from Huaguo or Japan and South Korea. He just said casually: "If he can continue to perform like this, of course we will arrange more tactics for him."

The implication is that we still have to observe Li Chengming's progress and whether he can become the cornerstone of the team.

At present, Howard is the only one in the Magic team who has shown the ability to build a team around him. Li Chengming's game influence is not bad, but his weakness on the defensive end is easy to be targeted, which makes him as the core. The role at the end is not as good as that of Kobe and James, so it is difficult to regard him as the cornerstone of the team.

And with his style of play, he can only continue to score points in this way as a substitute sixth man.

Howard was also asked: "I heard that you have the best relationship with Lee in the team. What do you think of his performance?"

Warcraft just laughed for a while, and then said: "As you can see, he is a great rookie, and I am very confident that he will become a star player in the future."

"Is it because of his Chinese identity?"

"What do you think? Hahahaha..."

As the biggest signing of the Magic this summer, Lewis is also considered the No. [-] star by the outside world. The group of dog media also want him to talk about whether he feels threatened by Li Chengming.

Lewis couldn't say what he thought in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "I and Li are different types of players. We are both trying to help the team. Even if there is competition, it will only be healthy competition. This will promote us to work together. Improvement also helps the team get a better record."

Talking about the goal of this season, Lewis said: "I hope to go further in the playoffs, I am eager to show myself on a higher stage, and let the whole league see our energy together with my brothers. "

The general manager of the team, Austin Smith, also said in an interview: "There is no doubt that Lee is our biggest surprise this season. are used to it.

"But Lee is a rookie, a rookie we've never seen him play before, and I wouldn't have expected him to play like this, but it's definitely a good thing for us. Probably the only trouble is, to He feels a little headache about how to renew the contract in the future..."

He said the latter with a smile, because first they took the initiative in the contract renewal negotiations with Li Chengming. Li Chengming's starting point was too low. It is not difficult for them to match the contract, and they will never let it go easily. run him.

Secondly, as the person who decided to choose Li Chengming, he is proud of Li Chengming's success now, and it also has practical benefits, at least the boss promised him a bonus.

The owner of the Magic, Rich DeVos, is the founder of Amway and has a rich net worth.

In short, everyone on the team has a lot of praise for Li Chengming.

Of course, this is also because of his own performance, he convinced everyone abruptly.

If you insist on arranging him to fight because you don't have the strength, and he can't fight well, then even if everyone doesn't say it, they are still waiting to see a joke.

But the current situation is obviously different, and Li Chengming himself was interviewed later. After learning about other people's evaluation of him, he was naturally flattered, and then urged himself to continue working hard.

"In the next game, you will meet UAE again. What expectations do you have for this game?"

The domestic media and fans are naturally more concerned about the next game. The UAE seems to be gradually getting on the right track recently, not to mention the performance of Li Chengming. In the last match, the two were not able to face each other. Unfortunately, perhaps this game is expected to be able to make up for it.

Can you replicate the exciting matchup between Space Yi and Dayao?
Of course, Li Chengming can only say that he is looking forward to it, but the netizens have obviously begun to spread out.

"According to the current state, I'm worried that Fat Brother will eat Space Yi alive!"

"That's right, Ah Lian and Dayao are out of position, but Li Chengming will play the fourth position. The Bucks will probably let Ah Lian defend Li Chengming. I don't even dare to think about that scene."

"But thinking about it from another angle, Li Chengming can't guard Ah Lian, right?"

"But the Magic still has Howard, forget it, you'll know after watching the game..."

One day after the game, the Magic came to Milwaukee as a whole and met the Bucks again.

Although there is only a gap of more than a month from the last time, for Ah Lian, seeing Li Chengming again has a sense of right and wrong.

Who would have thought that Xiao Mengxin, who could only score points in garbage time, has grown into a supernova in the basketball circles of China and the United States without knowing it.

Now more and more people are beginning to analyze Li Chengming, analyze his ability, and dismantle his technical moves, which in itself means his fame and popularity, because if no one pays attention, no one will care about you at all.

Of course, he also relied on his own strength to fight, so Ah Lian couldn't even raise jealousy in his heart, he could only be envious and a little bit self-pitying.

He doesn't like where he is, and as he made clear early on, he doesn't like Milwaukee.

Not only is it a foreign country, but also because the environment here makes him very uncomfortable.

But there is no way, he still has to work hard to adapt, especially now that there is such a role model and reference as Li Chengming, he has no room to evade.

However, in this game, the Magic almost overturned on the Bucks, an Eastern Conference team. Almost all the Bucks broke out in this game. No, it also led to Kong Tianyi, Xiao Mo, Charlie Bell and others.

The Bucks' three-point shooting is not many and the efficiency is average, but they feel overwhelming in the paint and under the basket. The halftime shooting rate is as high as nearly 60%, and many of them are brought by sudden points.

This is actually the effectiveness of the Bucks' strategy today. Mo and Reid made frequent breakthroughs, and the Magic couldn't stop them from the outside. If they defended from the inside, they could almost face an empty basket by passing the ball immediately. In the first half of the Arab League That's how 6 of 5 scored 10 points.

What attracted the most attention and excitement of the domestic fans was naturally that Li Chengming and Kong Kongyi finally matched up.
