Chapter 17

After three consecutive victories, the Magic has become the only undefeated team in the Orlando Summer League. The Bulls and Pacers have also lost.

At this time, the second Summer League match of the men's basketball team also came. This time their opponent was Liu Wei's "old club"-Liu Wei had represented the Kings in the preseason after the Athens Olympics. Yao's confrontation gimmick is quite enough.

But this time Liu Wei was standing as an opponent, and Dayao didn't play.

This game also has certain significance for Space Yi, because the opponent has Spencer Hawes, the No. 10 pick of the same session.

His pressure these days is not small, even surpassing Sun Dasheng, why?
Wasn't it because of Li Chengming's sudden birth?
If the first game might be due to the fact that the opponent didn't pay attention, or that luck broke out, but in the next two games, although the Magic's on-the-spot coaches protected him and started to control his playing time, in the limited time, he still played. Satisfactory answers were obtained.

He averaged 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60%, with super high efficiency.

Now he has become the core of the Summer League Magic team, and Redick, another player in the team who also averaged 20 per game, has become the most dazzling star in the Orlando Summer League—Durant also played in two games, averaging With 25 points, all three of them are the favorites for the summer league.

Then the domestic media went crazy, constantly reposting and disseminating news related to Li Chengming, and even started to discuss that person during the training of the national team.

Kong Tianyi is not very good at expressing his emotions, but it doesn't mean he has no emotions. Sun Dasheng may feel that it doesn't matter, because he can be bad, but Kong Tianyi can't.

He was originally "the only hope in the village", and his goal was to surpass Dayao.

Although he doesn't have that self-confidence in his heart, he just thinks that he can be the second child-of course, he is actually the third child now, because there is still Da Zhi.

But now someone suddenly appeared, he may not even be able to be the third child, even the most heartless person can't stand it.

He has to prove himself!

However, in this game, the UAE and the men's basketball team, who were eager to prove themselves, suffered an embarrassing defeat.

47: 73!

This score created the lowest score in a single game in the history of the men's basketball team. The UAE made 7 of 0 shots in the first half and 14 of 2 shots in the game, scoring only 9 points.

Da Zhi, who performed brilliantly in the first game, was also completely restricted in this game. He only made 4 of 2 shots, 10 points and 7 rebounds. On the contrary, the opponent started the inside and scored 38 points and 18 rebounds, blasting the inside of the men's basketball team.

The Kings actually didn't have any outstanding performers. The starting point guard Poole Jeter seemed to be playing well, but his statistics were average. They relied more on the overall forward defense and explosive talent inside. He lost his temper by playing the men's basketball team.

When the game was sent back to China, many fans immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

After all, apart from Dayao, this is already the strongest lineup that can be produced in the country, but they can't even beat an opponent in the summer league. What will happen to the Olympics?
At the same time, it was inevitable that Li Chengming would be involved.

"If Brother Fatty is..."

This title is mainly for feeling friendly. Of course, the person who called it this way at first may not have any good intentions, but Li Chengming's fans readily accepted it and were proud of it, which successfully resolved the derogatory meaning of this title.

That's right, Li Chengming now has a group of fans in China. Although many of these fans pay attention to him because they support their own players, his outstanding performance makes fans look good. become loyal.

After all, there is no love and hate for no reason, and no one has no hesitation from the beginning.

"Li Chengming's presence may not be useful. This kind of score must be an all-round gap." Someone said this, trying to defend the men's basketball team.

"You're just talking nonsense. You haven't seen Fatty play, right? As far as the king's inside line is concerned, he really just crushes it casually."

"I said, can you stop bragging, just a person who can only play in college classes in China. There was no such person before, but now because he has played a few summer league games, he is calling Dazhi, Yidi, and the others all the same. Did it explode? What nonsense..."

"Just based on how relaxed and comfortable they played in those three games, and then look at our men's basketball team... Hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"That's right, they are all second-round picks, and they are still the bottom of the crane. Who are you, Sun Dasheng, and what is your name for playing? Do you know if you can compare or not?"

"Okay, don't fight, it's not the same event, and the opponents are different. What's the comparison?"

The controversy among the fans and the real "results" of the men's basketball team are there, which makes the blue shoes somewhat embarrassing.

Fortunately, they didn't talk nonsense about Li Chengming before, otherwise wouldn't they be slapped in the face at this time?

Of course, they have been slapped in the face a lot, and they may not be afraid of being slapped in the face.

It's just that I can't help but complain about Ah Lian and Xiao Sun in my heart. What's the matter with you two? After all, you are both professional people, and you can't even compare with a college student?

Then someone couldn't help thinking, is it really necessary to recruit that Li Chengming into the national team?

No, that kid is blatantly provoking the media abroad. He has no vision at all, and his old man also doesn't know how to contact them. Do you still want them to humbly beg to come to the door?

Don't even think about it!

So take another look...

In the Magic's fourth Summer League game, the assistant coach finally chose to let Li Chengming truce.

In fact, it's okay if he doesn't participate in the next games. If it is the task of scouting rookies, in fact, the first three games are enough to achieve the goal.

Although Li Chengming still has many shortcomings, not to mention the old problem of defense, his physical strength is also a problem.

It's okay if it's just one game, but consecutive "back-to-back" games, even if they don't play much time in each game, will consume a lot of money for Li Chengming.

The intensity of the summer league is not as good as the normal regular season, and he is already like this. If this is really a back-to-back in the regular season, why not get tired?

Of course, if he really enters the first team, he may not be able to win much playing time. It is hard to say whether he will have a chance to consume it, but this will obviously limit his upper limit.

After all, physical strength and endurance are also hidden physical talents. James is famous for his endurance, and Jordan and Kobe are all iron men.

But seeing Li Chengming dragging such a large body, if he is not tired or exhausted, the assistant teacher will have to wonder if this is a normal person-his physical flexibility is already incredible.

There is no Li Chengming, but relying on the partnership of Redick and Gortat who had a truce, the Magic still easily defeated the Pacers. Redick scored 9 of 6 three-pointers and scored 30+. Gortat also got a double-double data.

The Pacers have 39 rookies this year, Stanko Ballack, who was traded from the Heat after the draft, but his performance is mediocre, averaging less than 8 points per game, and his efficiency is even worse. Getting a contract, even if it is signed, is probably the life of the Development League.

This kind of situation is actually not uncommon. The second-round picks are not worth much. If they don't show enough value, the team might as well go to the free market to find veterans.

What's more, the Pacers will strive to enter the playoffs in the new season. Even if they want to cultivate rookies, it is impossible to waste time on a 21-year-old center who is not talented or not capable.

Then Li Chengming played again in the fifth game. This time the opponent was the Chicago Bulls. There were three rookies in the opponent team. In addition to No. 49 Aaron Gray and No. 51 James Ang Curry, there was also Joe No. [-] in the first round. Kim Noah.
