Chapter 12 The first-round pick
Li Chengming played for more than six minutes and didn't take many shots. However, he has missed five shots so far, except for the first one - but he immediately picked it up by himself, and hit all of them later.

The assistant coaches on the sidelines were all stunned. They remembered that during the previous trial training, they also remembered Li Chengming's 100% hit, but they all thought he was just luck.

And that time there were some shots that seemed not so stable, and it was obviously unlikely to be a normal performance, but I didn't expect his offensive efficiency to be so high.

At least the two matchup jump shots are decent, and they are definitely not fooled.

And the opponent was actually under pressure just now, but he seemed to be completely unhindered, and only looked at his own state.

Fans on the sidelines were also discussing. After all, since the beginning of the game, Li Chengming has already grabbed attention by relying on a self-stealing shot and a one-stop steal. Many people are paying attention to his performance behind him. These two goals drew them all at once. back.

Terrence turned back to his companion and said, "Speaking of which, do you think he looks familiar like this?"

The companion hesitated for a moment before saying unconfidently, "Uh... Garnett?"

Although he didn't know why, this name was the first thing that popped up in his mind after hearing the other party's words.

Kevin Garnett is still considered the top star in the NBA. Because he is in the Minnesota Timberwolves, he is called the "Wolf King" by domestic fans. He averaged 20+10 per game last season and won the rebounding title for four consecutive seasons. .

However, the Timberwolves missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, which also made the outside world full of doubts about him.

This offseason, the whereabouts of the Wolf King has also attracted much attention.

Because as early as the end of the regular season, there were trade rumors, especially the Celtics, who also failed to enter the playoffs, were the team that had the most contact with Garnett.

Of course, the current strength of Li Chengming is not enough to "touch porcelain" Garnett, but Garnett has always been regarded as a representative of a tough style of play, and every time he shoots the ball, he is very aggressive every time, as if he wants to eat his opponent alive Same.

Li Chengming's appearance does have a bit of charm, especially the roar, which looks more like a malicious imitation.

But no matter what, as long as you can get in, no one cares whether he yells or not.

Fortunately, Li Chengming scored against his opponent again, also ignoring the defense. After scoring three consecutive shots, when he missed one shot, everyone was not surprised.

As for yelling, as long as Li Chengming is not embarrassed himself, the audience can't embarrass him for him.

Then when there were 3 minutes left in the first half, Li Chengming was replaced. At this time, he had scored a field-high 13 points, made 8 shots, and hit 5 of them. The efficiency was quite high.

When he walked over, many spectators near the Magic bench were shouting at him, hoping to attract his attention.

After all, judging from his performance in the first half, he was simply the only star on the field, neither Redick nor Marcus Williams could compare to him.

Especially when he shot while roaring, in the eyes of the fans, he was really comedic and inexplicably passionate.

However, Li Chengming didn't bother to pay attention when he didn't find any Asian faces. Although he is now in the United States, he will also play in the NBA and the American League, but he has a bit of cynical thinking in his bones. I don't like it.

"Li, you did a great job, you exceeded my expectations!"

The assistant coach also came forward and patted him on the shoulder, feeling incredible.

Although he is also a foreign devil, the other party is a teaching assistant after all, and he does not reach out to hit the smiling person, so Li Chengming smiled and bumped his fist with him, and said, "Thank you, I didn't expect it, I feel that they are too weak."

The assistant was stunned for a moment by saying this, and then immediately burst out laughing.

Damn, he's crazy!

Fuck, I love it so much.

This is the country of the United States, not in the country. There is no virtue of humility. If you have the ability to show it as much as possible, everyone will only cheer for you.

After the first half, Li Chengming did not play again. Redick and Gortat, who replaced early, continued to play with rotation. At the end of the half, they had already led by 6 points, 50:44.

Redick is in good form today. He has hit four three-pointers and scored 12 points. Gortat is 7+7. Augustine also has 5 points and 5 rebounds.

For the Nets, Marcus Williams scored 10 points and 4 assists. He did a good job in personal offense and team connection. As for Sean Williams, who is also a rookie this year, his efficiency performance is simply surpassed by Lee Fame is over.

Whether facing Gortat or Augustin, or the Magic's substitute, he couldn't show enough bright performance.

Whether it was because of his condition or his own incompatibility, he was dying to take advantage of his illness, so during the intermission, Li Chengming suddenly suggested that he should play the fourth position, and he would play against Sean.

Take your time for other rookies, I will kill No. 17 today!
It was also because of his excellent performance in the first half and his voice, otherwise Li Chengming would not have taken the initiative to stand up and change the coach's strategy.

The assistant coach gave him a surprised look, but quickly understood his thoughts. After thinking about it, he took it as encouragement and agreed, and then made some adjustments to the lineup.

In the second half, Li Chengming continued to play, this time to the fourth position inside, and James Augustine fell to the substitute.

The assistant coach wanted to wait and see the effect first. If Li Chengming played well, Augustine would continue to bring the substitute. If it was not good, then he would be replaced.

Augustine has nothing to say. After all, a plucked Phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. He failed to find opportunities in the team last year. He spent a year in the Development League wasting his time. It would be good to have the ball in the new season. How dare he fight for it? .

Then Li Chengming and the other three were present with the other two. Du Keze obviously made the assistant coach give up because of his previous performance. His strength is not yet to the point where the coach can tolerate his petty thinking and temper.

As soon as he came up, he saw Li Chengming asking for the ball in the low position. This time, Johnson immediately lobbed the ball. Li Chengming leaned back directly. Sean Williams felt as if a mountain of meat was pressing on him, making him unable to breathe gas.

The 21-year-old Sean is 208cm tall and weighs 107kg, which can't be said to be thin, but Li Chengming is nearly [-]kg heavier than him. The difference in strength is even more powerful with the blessing of weight.

Seeing that the team's little brother couldn't handle Li Chengming, Boone could only come over to help double-team.

Rookies often tend to be in a hurry when facing double teams, especially the two tall and long arms, waving their arms to completely block their sight.

Li Chengming's thinking is very quick, because he has long been used to this style of play, and he has never played alone.

How should I put it, another advantage brought to him by abusing classmates at school is that he is used to observing his teammates and the situation on the court. Whether his vision is good or not is another matter. Anyway, the awareness and basic skills of passing are online anyway. As long as he attracts double teams, he can Hit the ball accurately.

Even if they may not be able to create opportunities immediately, they will not be forced to make mistakes.

The most important point is that he has a wide body. Josh Boone is only 2kg heavier than Sean. Li Chengming moved between the two of them and knocked them away before flashing out of the space. His quick eyes and quick hands directly assisted Gortat. Run and jump to catch the ball and score easily against an empty basket.

"LI! LI! LI!"

There are already people on the sidelines cheering for Li Chengming. Good guy, he's going to become a star after a game.

But in the eyes of everyone watching the game, it is obvious that Li Chengming, with his own advantages, not only performed well personally, but also drove his teammates. He is no longer a player at the same level as the others on the field.
