The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 35 Next game, you have to work hard

The two walked around like this, stop and go, during which time they ate burgers on a bench in AD. When Li Ming was hesitating whether to invite her to watch a movie while the iron was hot, a movie brought him back to reality.

"There are public elective classes in the evening, I almost forgot." Lele pointed to the phone.

"Oh, okay...then...let's make an appointment next time when you have time." Li Ming was not in a good mood.

"Oh, okay, let's be happy, we know each other. Look, I can show off to my classmates that I know the big stars in our city. Hehe, many of them like basketball very much." Said happily.

After a while, a red Chevrolet stopped in front of them.

"My classmates are here. I'm going back to school first. You have to work hard for the next game. We will cheer you up in front of the computer." She made a victory gesture to him.

The next match... Victory... At this moment, Li Ming finally returned to the feeling of winning.I trotted all the way home, and while waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection, I also did thirty high leg raises, which attracted passers-by to watch for a while.

Of course, some recognized him, and more didn't recognize him... Yes, they are all too similar. In Lao Mei's eyes, Asians are almost the same. If you don't wear a jersey, it is really difficult to distinguish at a glance. .

When he got home, he turned on the computer quickly, because the next game was an away game against the Chicago Bulls, and he needed some latest news.He only remembers that Rose grabbed the MVP from James in the 2010-2011 season and became the youngest MVP in history.

But he didn't find the information he wanted. By the way, it's September 2012. It's impossible for him to search for future news, and he almost forgot about it.

However, what is certain is that Derrick Rose has just undergone surgery on his knee, and the season has been confirmed to be basically reimbursed.

Forget it, don't think about it, anyway, the coach will make arrangements for training tomorrow, let's talk about it then.He dropped the computer, walked into the room, and turned off the lights.

That night, Li Ming tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, of course, it wasn't for the competition...

He came to the arena early the next morning. Because of the consecutive away games, Hollins gave the players a holiday this morning. Everyone will gather after three o'clock in the afternoon, mainly for some sliding practice and video decomposition.

Even so, there were still people who came earlier than him, this time four...

Bayless, Guy, Conley and Randolph are all there, and some of them are already shirtless and drinking water. It seems that they have been practicing for a long time.

"Lee, what's wrong, why are you always so late." Guy threw a basketball at him.

Li Ming tied up his shoelaces and warmed up at the bottom line.Conley is tirelessly practicing three-pointers.Randolph and Bayless were helping him fetch and count.

Guy kept gesticulating in the middle distance alone, doing trial step exercises.His height and wingspan make him almost unguardable at that position.But this buddy's brain circuit is always different from others, and he is always keen on shooting three-pointers from the outside.

His obsession with three-pointers has caused dissatisfaction with Hollins and his teammates, because the buddy's highest shooting percentage in three seasons is just over 30.00%. It's a disaster for the striker.

He knows it himself, but he just can't control it. In fact, he will be sent to the Raptors in the second half of the season, but Li Ming can't spoil it. He also cherishes the friendship with Guy. This buddy is a straightforward person. , the kind that expresses emotion, anger, sorrow and joy, naive and terrifying.

"Rudy...do you want to make a mid-range shot? I'll pick up the ball for you." Li Ming shouted at Guy.

"No, I'm going to practice fadeaways." Guy didn't return any shots.

"This..." Well, I was playing alone, and Li Ming grabbed the basketball on the ground and made a super long three-pointer, which was missed! !
"Hey buddy, you're a celebrity now and everybody's talking about you." Bayless stepped up.

Only then did Li Ming notice that Conley's three-point practice had just ended.

"Uh... It's okay, it was Mike and Zach who gave me that pass in the end. We will train this deliberately during practice." Obviously, Li Ming also wanted to make a good impression on this potential competitor.

"If Derek is injured, you will probably face Nate. This is a strong guy." Bayless made a three-pointer at 45 degrees.

Nate?Nate Robinson?This dude went to the bulls?Isn't he in the Knicks?Well, it is not uncommon for such a thorn to change teams every one or two years.

Li Ming doesn't seem to like Robinson very much. After all, there are really few people who can hit consecutive shots under Iguodala's strict defense. He is better than Kobe, and James is deflated by him.

He was afraid of that kind of tall and flexible outside line. After all, his stature was limited, and it was impossible to defend against such a big guy for the entire game. Even with the blessing of cards, it was still unrealistic.

And the opponent now has one, Marco Belinelli (Marco Belinelli), damn, it's another Italian, how can there be so many Italian shooters, just finished the last game against Gallinelli, and now there is another more flexible Belinelli Rinelli.

"Have you ever played against Belinelli?" Li Ming showed kindness and friendliness in a timely manner, pretending to be looking forward to it.

In fact, he collected all his information on the Internet early in the morning, not to mention that he originally came from 2021, and he also knew about his winning the championship with the Spurs.It can be said that his technical characteristics are very clear.

"Oh, he is a very good player. I played against him when he was in the Hornets. He was very accurate in three-pointers and shot very fast." Bayless replied after a little thought.

Wow, he didn't say that, I didn't know that he was very accurate on three-pointers, and he shot quickly. I was asking about some of his defensive skills.In Li Ming's heart, [-] muddy horses galloped past.

"Oh, really? That's really not easy to guard against." Li Ming pretended to be surprised.

"Actually, it's okay. This player is very dependent on running positions. It would be much better if he could prevent him from catching the ball. His shooting percentage would be cut in half." Bayless added.

You have a little conscience, kid.Li Ming gave a little approving look, but said on his mouth: Oh, like this, you have to follow closely.

"Yeah, for a 6-foot-5, 200-pound shooter, he's really mobile. There's always something good to do." Bayless tossed the ball to the board for a lob to himself.

"That is the most important thing is to surround him all over the field." Li Ming said thoughtfully.

Bayless was very happy about this. He felt that Li Ming was easy to get along with, at least not so arrogant.Obviously, he felt pressure and crisis now, but he still had to pretend to be relaxed.

"I'm a man who scored 28 points and 11 assists on the Spurs." Bayless had a voice in his heart silently cheering him up.

"It's not their lineup that's scary about the Bulls, nor is it Derrick Rose." He paused intentionally and looked at Li Ming's expression.

"It's their coach, Tom Thibodeau, whose energy and effectiveness on the defensive end is there for all to see."

Li Ming also agrees with this point. This coach is not simple. He used to pay attention to his games when he was studying. People are impressed.
