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

Chapter 107

December 2007, 12, is another Wednesday.

The Magic team came to the aerospace city of Houston. Their opponent today is the Texas Xiaoqiang team led by Huaguo Little Giants.

Li Chengming didn't act alone, but followed the team all the time, so he didn't officially contact Dayao until the game.

"Hello, viewers, you are watching the CCTV sports channel. Today, Mr. Su and I will bring you this NBA game. The Magic team came to Houston to challenge the Texas team."

"This is the first contest between the two teams this season, but we have watched this kind of confrontation many times in the past. Since Howard entered the league in 04, his contest with Dayao has always been the focus of attention."

"Now Warcraft is the number one center in the league, but our Dayao has always been his sufferer..."

"Of course, there is another highlight in today's game, and that is the young player from China, Li Chengming!"

Li Chengming has already secured his position in the rotation and can contribute his own strength on the bench.

Of course, everyone thinks that he is now the sixth man of the Magic, but in fact he is fully capable of starting, just because of positional conflicts and obeying the team's tactical arrangements.

It's not even a problem to say that he ranks among the top three in the Magic's offensive ability. If you really want to say that Turkoglu and Lewis are stronger than him in terms of offense alone, Howard is not as good.

His rookie contract is also considered to be of great value, and he is the last pick in the draft, so not many people can expect to play it.

Let’s say that the Magic sent the Mavericks the No. 44 pick. The one selected has not played a game for the Mavericks. Obviously, it is still too weak to even play. It is estimated that it may have to be cut in the middle of the season. .

Because of this, the fans of the Mavericks are very dissatisfied with the manager's operation. They think that if Li Chengming is on their team, they can still play now, and they will definitely get more possessions and give the team more s help.

Compared with Howard or Lewis, the inside combination of Li Chengming and Nuo Tianwang is also more worth looking forward to.

Especially the domestic Mavericks fans, they would beat their chests every time they talked about this matter. After all, if Li Chengming was in the Mavericks team, the domestic fans of their team would definitely rise a lot in a straight line, and then their group's right to speak would also be high. Quite a lot, just like the current Magic fans.

Well, what a magical but reasonable idea.

Now Li Chengming is well acquainted with everyone on the team, and he is a bit childish, so every time before the game, you can see the staff and some players in the arena playing with him like coaxing children .

And even in the away game, they will do some tricks when warming up before the game, often pulling Redick and the others to cooperate.

Of course, Howard is the one who cooperates with him the most. Warcraft loves to play, but there was no one in the team who could cooperate with him well. Now that there are more Li Chengming, he is even inferior.

Van Gundy looked helpless every time he saw these two bear kids, and the two commentators who saw this in the commentary booth also laughed.

Generally, the broadcast does not show too much pre-match content, but there are naturally more shots of domestic players, especially today's match between Li Chengming and Dayao. The pre-match contact between the two is also the focus of everyone's attention.

The TV station must also have a biased position, and more Magic games have been broadcast this season.

There is also a reason that the Magic has performed well this season, and it can be said to be a strong team in the East. The arrival of Van Gundy has injected a strong temperament into this team.

Playing in such a team is more enjoyable for many domestic fans than watching the Bucks. After all, the UAE did not perform particularly well there, and it is hard to see that the team is concentrating on training him. The record is not good, especially when the loss data is not good.

But facing today's game, the fans are more embarrassed, feeling that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh.

In the end, Dayao and Dezhou Xiaoqiang have accumulated enough background, and their support is still much higher.

"Come on, we saw that during the warm-up before the game, Dayao came to have a friendly exchange with Xiaopang on the sidelines. According to the current news, the blue shoes are already actively contacting Li Chengming. The two of them will also be part of the national team in the future. teammates. Hey, Mr. Su, guess what they will say?"

"I can't guess that, but I think they must speak Mandarin."

"Hahaha……"

Embarrassing cold jokes were said in the commentary, which left the audience in front of the TV speechless again.

You might as well say they both said "tomatoes"...

In fact, Li Chengming and Dayao just greeted each other briefly. After all, they were not familiar with each other. Even though they had spoken on the phone before, this was the first official meeting between the two.

Standing in front of Dayao, Li Chengming's first impression is that he is very tall. In fact, he has also met Big Z before. The center forward of the Cavaliers is also very tall, reaching 2 meters, but the tonnage gap is too large, which makes it appear that Big Z and Big Z Yao is a bit like a bamboo pole in comparison, and he will not have the pressure brought by such a powerful and intuitive rise.

Moreover, Li Chengming also met the second person with the same tonnage as himself. The last one was O'Neill.

Of course, it is also because he has lost weight now, so in fact he may be lighter than Dayao now.

However, as a senior, Dayao still had some expectations for this little brother, patted his head and smiled, "Fight well, the future is yours."

Li Chengming immediately laughed and said, "I'm not James..."

Dayao also laughed. What pleased him the most was that this little brother was easy to communicate with and had a very outgoing personality. In his opinion, this was a very important quality for players who had gone overseas.

When your strength is not absolutely crushed, communication is very important, and it may even affect the perception of you by coaches and players.

After all, this can be regarded as a signal that he is willing to actively integrate. For example, on the side of the United Arab Emirates, Dayao is a little worried, thinking that he is too dull. Unfortunately, his personality is not so easy to change. I can only hope that the Bucks will treat him more patience.

However, the two did not chat for too long, after all, the game was about to start.

"Okay, let's focus on the game. The starting lineups of the two teams remain the same. Howard and Yao jumped the ball. Yao did not grab the ball as expected... The Magic's first wave of offense, Nelson directly holds the ball and advances quickly to the frontcourt."

In this game, Li Chengming is naturally still a substitute. Van Gundy will not let him start just because he faces his fellow countrymen. Basically, the Magic team's current starting lineup is confirmed, and the cooperation is getting more and more tacit.

Lewis' seamless integration into their lineup is a very important reason. Facts have proved that the only disadvantage of some expensive players is that they are expensive. Lewis' big contract is at least worthwhile in general now, and he is of great help to the team.

In particular, his shooting range can maximize Howard's advantage in the interior, and there are three points in the starting lineup that handle the ball. Turkoglu, an organization point, can also play his role.

When it came to the substitute stage, Li Chengming gradually became an axis, and his cooperation with his teammates became more and more tacit, or because of his existence, his teammates also had the opportunity to play their respective roles.

In this game, Houston came up to the head start today. It seems that their morale is very high at home. The fans in Space City are also very excited, because the team is currently in good condition, not to mention seeing Dayao "bullying" the active player The first center.

Just one word, cool.

McGrady missed two shots, but Dayao pressed Howard directly under the basket and hit the ball into the basket. He also caused a foul by Howard and made an additional penalty.

Then Alstom and Shane Battier made three-pointers one after another, and played a perfect start of 6:11 in 4 minutes.

Lewis felt average today. He missed a three-pointer and a layup. He was 4 of 1 in the start. When Howard was carried by Yao and couldn't get to the basket, he couldn't carry the team.

Turkoglu, who should have played at this time, was also firmly watched by Battier, and the Magic seemed to have stagnated on the offensive end.

During the timeout, Van Gundy chose to replace Li Chengming, and went to the fourth position to face the opposite Chuck Hayes.
