Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 234.

Pengcheng is the first stop of China's reform and opening up. This small fishing village on the South China Sea has undergone earth-shaking changes since the 80s. At this time, it is already one of the largest cities in China.

There are many high-rise buildings in the city, with very modern features. Compared with the imperial capital and the magical capital, these historical cities are no less inferior, and they can compete with New York, London, and Hong Kong Island next door.

The Huaxia men's basketball red team will continue to represent the country in the last two games of the first stage of the Men's Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers, and will face the South Korean national team in Pengcheng.

In the first two window periods, Zhonghuaxia has achieved three wins and one loss, especially the away game against South Korea, which boosted morale very much. It was also in that game that the red team became the new favorite of the fans.

During this window period, the red team faced two opponents, South Korea and New Zealand, which was the most difficult round among the three window periods of six games.

But in fact, because Huaxia won the right to host the second Men's Basketball World Cup, it can directly enter the finals as the host.

The qualifiers are just a necessary process.

It is precisely because of this that the purpose of the men's basketball team has become relatively simple-to train!
Or to prepare for the 19 World Cup and the 20 Olympics.

The red team won Hong Kong Island and South Korea in the first window period, and the blue team lost to New Zealand and won Hong Kong Island in the second window period. They are currently ranked second in Group A.

In the two games in the last window period, how the red team will finish has become the focus of fans' attention.

But at this time Li Nan was a little upset, no, it should be extremely upset.

Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang went to the United States to participate in team training and prepare for the summer league.

The summer league is even more important than the national team's game?
The second-tier league is the development league, and the summer league is nothing more than a small inspection of rookies or newly signed players by the team, and it is a game that does not even pay wages.

In order to find a little foothold in the NBA, he gave up his foundation.

Shouldn't representing the country be the highest honor?

If you achieve results in the game, it is easier to be seen by the team, isn't it?
Or the two have no confidence in achieving results in the national team at all. Yao Ming was able to achieve results back then because Yao Ming was very strong and at the same time he was the core of the team.

How can Zhou Qi compare with Yao Ming, not to mention that the core is still Li Cha.

Ding Yanyuhang has no chance to be selected in the draft, even if he won the CBA regular season MVP for two consecutive years.

In 17, Ding Yanyuhang got the opportunity to represent the Lone Ranger in the summer league and played well in the game. This year, the Lone Ranger signed a training camp contract with him.

Therefore, Ding Yanyuhang, who felt that he had a chance, directly left the national team training camp and went to the United States without hesitation.

Speaking of the draft, on June 6, the 22 NBA Draft opened in Brooklyn.

The Suns selected DeAndre Ayton with the first No. [-] pick in team history to make up for the lack of insiders. They formed an internal and external combination with Booker and wanted to reproduce the OK combination back then.

The Kings selected Marvin Bagley III second overall, the Eagles selected Luka Doncic, the Grizzlies selected Jaren Jackson Jr. with the fourth overall pick, and the Lone Ranger selected Tre Young with the fifth overall pick.

Then the Lone Ranger and the Eagles exchanged, Doncic became the new favorite of the favorite international player owner Cuban, and Nowitzki will assist Doncic for a period of time.

The much-watched Cavaliers' No. [-] pick is Collin Sexton.

The Thunder selected Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn with the 52nd and 57th picks respectively.

The management gave Li Cha enough face, and Presti chose the rookie exactly according to Li Cha's introduction.

The next major awards will be announced at the awards ceremony on June 6 (China time).

Rookie of the Year is Ben Simmons of The Numbers.

The most improved player is Victor Oladipo of the Pacers, a veteran of the Thunder, a hard-working man who has not been recognized.

The best defensive player is Rudy Gobert of the Jazz.

The best sixth man is Louis Williams of the Clippers, a veteran of the Rockets. Last year, the best sixth man lost to Li Cha, and this year he finally got his wish.

The best head coach is Devin Casey of the former Raptors.After being swept by the Cavaliers in the second round of the playoffs, Casey was fired. It was also the first time in history that the best coach of the year was fired.

The Community Care Award of the Year went to Warriors' Kevin Durant.

The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Big O Oscar Robertson.Judging from the fact that Robertson averaged a triple-double per game and all 41 triple-doubles in a single season were broken by Westbrook, as long as Westbrook wins the championship, will he also get such an honor.

The best fight award went to Amir Johnson of the Digimen team.

The best shot of the season was James' fadeaway jumper to beat the Timberwolves.

The best manager is the Rockets manager who came to Paul with a seven-for-one trade, and then the team won the league's first record and broke into the Western Conference Finals.

Dikembe Mutombo was awarded the SEG Toughness Award.

The MVP is James Harden of the Rockets.The other two players who competed with Harden for the MVP were James and Davis, which also raised the gold content of Harden's MVP very high.

17-18赛季，哈登出战72场，场均30.4分5.4篮板8.8助攻1.75抢断，同时也获得了得分王的称号。

After combining with Paul Anthony, the chemical reaction of the three is not bad, and they also played a successful season in the regular season. It is a pity that they could not beat the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals because of Paul's injury.

In the previously announced best team and best defensive team, the three teams are Curry, Oladipo, Li Cha, George, Towns, and the Thunder were selected at the same time.

Li Cha was selected as a forward. Although he is tall enough to play small forward, but...

The main reason is that the competition for defenders is fierce.

The second team is Westbrook, DeRozan, Antetokounmpo, Aldridge and Embiid.

The Thunder's third player was selected. It can be seen that the Thunder's performance this season is still very popular, otherwise there would not be three players selected for the best team at the same time.

And Westbrook averaged a triple-double back-to-back and was only selected for the second team, which shows how fierce the selection of guards is.

For a while, Lillard, Harden, James, Durant, Davis.

Lillard was selected for the first team for the first time.

At the end of the season, a wave of 13 consecutive victories brought the Blazers to the fourth position in the Western Conference. Lillard successfully became a fan and captured the hearts of many media people. On the contrary, Westbrook was criticized by everyone for his crazy rebounding in the last two games, so Lillard was on the team for a while.

The second-team players of the All-Defensive Team are Murray of the Spurs, Butler of the Timberwolves, Green of the Warriors, Horford of the Celtics and Embiid of the Digital Man.

The best first defense is Holiday of the Pelicans, Oladipo of the Pacers, Covington of the Digital Man, Davis of the Pelicans and Gobert of the Jazz.

The Thunder have no players selected.

Li Cha, who was training in the national team, learned that these messages were all sent to him by Luo Xi.

Westbrook will send out a little bit occasionally, but it is not comprehensive, and it depends on Rosie in the end.

Originally, Luo Xi was going to China to visit the team recently, but Li Cha went to Pengcheng again, and also went to New Zealand for an away game, so Luo Xi's trip was postponed.

While Li Nan was struggling to set up his troops, the door of the room rang, and someone came to visit.

At this time to influence himself, Li Nan was very angry and yelled: "Who is it!"

"Coach, it's me, Li Cha."

Li Cha's visit made Li Nan feel a little strange. Tomorrow is the game, and Li Cha is not resting in his room, or practicing shooting alone, and even ran to the head coach.

Suppressing the anger and curiosity in his heart, Li Nan opened the door and welcomed Li Cha in.

By the way, I poured Li Cha a glass of water, "Sit down."

"Coach! I have something to ask of you." Li Cha's straightforward request startled Li Nan.

"Please?" Li Nan took Li Cha for a little more than a month, and found that Li Cha is a particularly hard-working player.

Even though his game skills are already very good, he still insists on practicing shooting at night every day. After Li Nan accidentally discovered it, he observed it for a week without missing a day. It can be seen that Li Cha is a player who strives for perfection.

Moreover, Li Cha always prioritized solving difficulties by himself. After joining the national team, he never made any request to the coach, Zhao Tailong didn't count.

Today, not only made a request, but also took the initiative to knock on the door, which made Li Nan very strange, "Tell me."

"Please ask the coach to let me defend the opponent's sharp outside players. I will defeat them all!" Li Cha looked at Li Nan firmly.

It's normal to ask for the ball from the offense. Every player wants a chance to perform, but it's the first time Li Nan has seen such a thankless thing like asking for the defense.

But how could Li Nan not know why Li Cha made such a request.

Basketball is based on defense, especially every victory in the international arena is very important, so it is even more important to achieve the ultimate defense. If it must be compared with the league, the intensity must be at least similar to the finals.

Seeing that Li Nan was silent, Li Cha continued to add his own opinion: "Although my defense is not the strongest in the team, I will try my best to prevent the opponent from being crushed, so that we can win more easily."

"Now many people in the red team have minor injuries. I am the healthiest. I can do more to make my teammates more relaxed. In terms of offense, I can give up a lot of statistics and shots. These are not important in front of victory!"

Li Nan let out a slight breath, "Li Cha, have you made up your mind?"

"Tomorrow you can test my determination!" Li Cha slapped his chest loudly.

South Korea also naturalized a U.S. player at the beginning of the year, Ricardo Ratliff, who has now become the core player of the team, and because of him, South Korea currently has a strong competitiveness.

This is the main factor that Li Nan has been struggling with. If Li Cha and Ratliff can offset the mutual effects, the strength of the red team will be stronger than that of the South Korean team.

Ratliff's defense in the interior still has a strong oppressive force, so Li Nan couldn't evaluate Li Cha and Ratliff together at the beginning.

But at this time, Li Cha took the initiative to defend. If Li Cha can still have offensive output while taking defense into account, it would of course be great.
