Chapter 21 The Son of Heaven's Chosen

That night, the video of Li Lei's first summer league game was sent to China.

CCTV and major sports websites have videos, which aroused great attention from fans.

"Where I am is your restricted area! This is too domineering, I like it very much."

"Stone, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"

"Upstairs, so you and Shi Shi gave birth to Monkey King Monkey King?"

"Hahaha, I laughed so hard! But Shitou is too crazy, it's not good. What do other people think? They will definitely target him!"

"You're right, but I just like it!"

"You don't understand. Americans have this atmosphere. If you are soft, he will bully you even more. If you are tough, he will still be afraid of you. Isn't Dayao just too modest? A piece of crap wantonly stealing the ball from him."

"As for the stone, how do you target a defender? Get on your knees and beg him not to defend?"

"..."

When the leaders of CCTV's sports department saw the ratings of the rebroadcast of the game, they immediately climaxed.

He first called Zhang Weiping: "Director Zhang, are you in Houston? Can you rush to Orlando? Just tonight, very urgent!"

Later, he contacted the person in charge of the NBA Summer League: "We want to live broadcast or rebroadcast tomorrow's game. Yes, it is the game where the Heat played the Cavaliers."

The person in charge quickly agreed.

NBA executives are aware of David Stern's global promotion strategy, and China is the overseas market that Stern attaches the most importance to.

If he dared not agree, Stern would have his heart to die.

Early the next morning, the subtitles of CCTV [-], [-], and [-] showed a preview.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, CCTV's five sports channels will broadcast live the second round of the NBA Summer League: Heat VS Cavaliers.

In this era, the Chinese have just learned about the NBA and even less about the summer league, but there are still a large number of fans watching the TV.

In Shanghai, the magic capital, Yao Ming also stood guard in front of the TV.

Although Li Lei can't join the Mosaic team, he is still a compatriot.

BJ Basketball Association, a group of leaders are also waiting with wolfberry thermos cups in their hands. The 2004 Athens Olympic Games is not far away.

……

Li Lei didn't know that his second summer league game would start under the witness of all domestic fans.

In the United States, the game also received wide attention.

Just because of one person: "Little Emperor" LeBron James, the No. 50 pick in this year's draft, known as a talent that comes out once in [-] years, the son of heaven, and many NBA teams are doing badly for him.

But this is not Li Lei's concern.

He is looking at his data panel:
Strength is 69, speed is 51, stamina is 48, reaction speed is 62, explosive power is 38, and balance is 50.

The average is 53.

Skill Proficiency:

Bloody Big Hat (Junior 70/100).

Precision steals (primary 100/100).

Nougat defense (primary 58/100).

Hundred steps through Yang (primary 51/100).

Through the last game, Li Lei's strength has been improved again, and he is already close to the 70 mark.

50 is professional athlete level, 60 is good athlete level, and 70 is excellent athlete level.

The power of 70 is already very good.

As long as it reaches 70, among players of Li Lei's size, his confrontation is not lost to most of them, and even stronger than many.

In addition, Li Lei's precision stealing skills have reached 100/100, which is already full.

Li Lei has a hunch that a breakthrough may occur at any time.

After the elementary level, it should be the intermediate level. I don't know how many levels there are in total, and I don't know where the intermediate level skills can be strengthened.

Li Lei is looking forward to it.

The Heat came to the arena under the leadership of Coach Spoelstra.

Today's arena is extremely lively. There are even more fans than the host's opening game yesterday, and almost all seats are full.

Li Lei knew in his heart: James is too popular.

Ever since he was in high school, every game has been a hit, the games are packed, and even some current NBA stars and celebrities will be present to watch.

Needless to say, NBA scouts, it is estimated that the staff of the scouting departments of 29 teams are familiar with James' games.

During the warm-up time, Su Qun came with Zhang Weiping's guidance to do a short pre-match interview.

"Stone, today is a domestic live broadcast. Fans all over the country are watching you, so you must play well."

Zhang Weiping reminded.

Li Lei nodded: "I will do my best."

After asking Li Lei a few personal questions, Zhang Weiping couldn't help bringing the topic up to James.

"Stone, what do you think of James?"

Li Lei thought for a while and said honestly: "To be honest, I don't know him well. Except for the draft, I only saw him in newspapers. This is the second time I saw him in reality. But since he has such a big Fame, there must be strength in there.”

Li Lei is a bit domineering on the field, but he is quite humble off the field.

"come on!"

Zhang Weiping finally said.

Afterwards, he left with Su Qun.

Su Qun knew Li Lei better, so Zhang Weiping invited him to be a special guest to explain the game together.

"Friends in the audience, the second round of the 2003 NBA Summer League is about to start. Let us pay attention to Li Lei's performance in this game. He played well in the first game."

The coaches of the two teams also had a handshake ceremony.

The Heat here is Spoelstra, and the Cavaliers coach is called Brandon Malone.

Subsequently, the two sides made their debut.

Heat here, Beasley, Haslem, Li Lei, Wade, Kirk.

On the Cavaliers side, besides James, Li Lei also knows someone else.

No. 31 pick Jason Kapono.

Kapono and Li Lei met many times during the trial training, and he was the only one who beat Li Lei in the three-point shooting event.

Drip!

The game starts, jump ball.

The Cavaliers center flipped the basketball into the hands of his teammates.

James took the ball and slowly pushed forward. He actually played the No. 1 point guard today.

The voice of Zhang Weiping's guidance also sounded on domestic TVs: "LeBron James, nicknamed the Little Emperor, is the No. 25 pick in this year's draft. In the last game, he scored 7 points, 9 rebounds and [-] assists in a quasi-triple double. He is very strong. He That's going to be the biggest challenge the Heat face today."

It was Kirk who defended James. Looking at the size difference between the two, Li Lei could only mourn for Kirk in his heart.

James stood there, without the need for a cross step, and a breakthrough with a step forward crushed Kirk.

Kirk tugged at James' jersey, but didn't hold back.

This power!This speed!

Li Lei was startled, and James, who picked up his speed, rushed into the crowd like a heavy tank.

Li Lei wanted to make up for it, but it was too late.

James, who rushed into the paint, jumped high and flew to the basket.

Beasley glanced at James' muscles, but didn't dare to go up.

Haslem was stunned and jumped up directly.

Bang!
boom!
The first sound was that James turned Haslem in the air.

The second sound was a dunk with both hands after James topped Haslem.

"Oh ho ho ho..."

The arena exploded directly.

James' first shot ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena.

Break through, then flip the defender in the air, and then dunk with both hands.

Terrible talent.

2: 0.

Haslem lying on the ground is also a little confused, he is very confident in his own strength, but he has 105 kilograms.

"This is so special!"

Li Lei didn't want to talk.

Having met Milicic, he thought he knew what talent was.

But seeing James again, Li Lei was refreshed again.
