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

Chapter 328 Before the Great War
"Hey, if you told me a year ago that you would become a superstar in the NBA and become the focus of the world's basketball fans, would you believe me?"

At night, Li Chengming and his father were lying in the yard looking at the night sky, and the golden retriever lay at their feet.

Li Chengming massaged it with his feet and said with a smile: "Dad, don't talk about you, I didn't expect it either. But I think the more important point is that we can sit down and watch the stars so comfortably now."

"Hahaha..." Father Li laughed loudly, patted the chair and said, "Yeah, I was busy with work at that time, and I didn't have much time to spend with you and your mother. But even though I'm busy now, I often find time I'll be with you, but it's a pity that your mother is not here..."

Having said that, the old man shook his head in regret.

Although they are middle-aged couples, they have a very strong relationship. Perhaps it is because he and his wife are separated by two places, get together less and leave more, and push himself to others, which makes him more tolerant of Li Chengming and Amy Adams' dealings.

"Uh, why don't I give you a vacation?"

Father Li immediately gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Why, do you really think you are your boss?"

Li Chengming smiled embarrassingly and muttered, isn't it?

Father and son have to settle accounts clearly, and Li Chengming is indeed the big boss now.

And Li's father now has a whole team under him, both domestic and foreign. In addition, he has also opened a company, which is actually dedicated to serving Li Chengming alone.

Because Li Chengming's current personal business value is enough to support a company.

Fortunately, in the United States, although Li Chengming's popularity has risen rapidly, but his background is relatively poor, coupled with the various limitations of being an athlete and a fat insider, many manufacturers will not approach them.

But for those domestic brands, it really doesn't matter whether they are suitable or not, but whether they are famous or not.

As far as the field of athletes is concerned, basketball must have a wider audience and a larger market than other sports, and the NBA, as the most commercialized and most famous league in the world, has the highest degree of recognition.

Many people may think that NCAA's March Madness is more pure, which is actually true. Many people in the United States really like to watch March Madness beat the NBA, but it is an event, especially a game that determines the outcome. The success of the competition system does not mean the success of the players.

And it is not commercialized, but how many people behind it make a lot of money, but the players can only get a small amount.

Therefore, there have been incidents where players may have directly ruined their future for [-] US dollars. There is really no money to take it.

If it weren’t for the fact that so many only studied in college for one year, even when high school students were allowed to participate in the draft, many high school geniuses didn’t go to college at all, and directly participated in the draft to enter the NBA, because they wanted to make money.

Even if Li Chengming is in the NBA now, he can be said to be a top [-] star - of course he is active. This is still considering that he has no personal honor and is in a team with a good foundation like the Magic. The evaluation of him is more or less discounted.

But for domestic businessmen and fans, it is not a big problem for Li Chengming to wait and see in the field of domestic athletes.

The only one who can stabilize him is Liu Xiang besides Dayao.

Dayao had various endorsements before. As a player in the center position, this can be said to be very rare, and some of them don't know how to contact him.

Now Li's father is also stuck with a lot of endorsements, because Li Chengming has been in the competition, even if he signs the contract, he can't go back to participate in the promotional activities immediately, and even the promotional photos have to send a team here to shoot or they just take them sent it over.

The next summer is destined to be spent in busy business activities. Regarding this point, his father has already communicated with Blue Shoes. According to the instructions there, he can " "properly" allow him to participate in those business activities.

This kind of routine official language is obviously unsatisfactory. After all, who is in charge of what is appropriate?
Li Chengming also knew that he had to be careful when dealing with these guys, otherwise he would cause some trouble, and in the end he would not get any benefit and might even get into trouble.

Fortunately, when Li's father was doing foreign trade business, he had a lot of dealings with relevant departments, and he also knew some of them.

And he recruited top management, public relations, and legal talents in the country. The team formed to deal with various domestic affairs, including communication with Blue Shoes, should be more than enough.

Anyway, as long as he thinks it over thoroughly first, and makes it clear that it is they who ask him, not him who asks them, and he will not be led by the nose at will.

Of course, if he can win the NBA championship this time, he will be able to straighten his waist again, and then pull Dayao and the others to help him stand up, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, he also won the championship, and his gold content must be much higher than that of the bus.

If you can really get the FMVP as some domestic fans think, it is estimated that the domestic media can directly blow this award far beyond the MVP.

And not to mention, judging from Li Chengming's style of play and the data performance of the past two games, as long as he can be stable in the back, it will be the same as when he was against Lukay. His hope of winning this award is indeed the biggest in the Magic. .

……

Before the third battle officially started, Li Chengming also planned to sort out his current strategic reserves.

Since the start of the playoffs, the system has actually been beeping very frequently. Whether it is a new high score in the playoffs, a triple-double, or various victories, there are different degrees of calorie consumption and a lot of rewards.

It may also be because according to NBA rules, the playoffs and the regular season are generally counted separately, so many records have been recalculated.

But the system can't let him take advantage of loopholes, because his strength and ability are different from the beginning of the regular season. He can seize the opportunity if the opponent has a slight loophole.

Generally speaking, it depends not only on the defensive pressure the opponent puts on him, but also on his on-the-spot status.

For example, in the game against Lukai, when the hand felt hot, the three-pointer was too good, and the opponent could only recognize it.

So although he has broken many records in the first three rounds since entering the playoffs, and created various new histories for Chinese players in the NBA, the rewards given by the system seem rather stingy.

It's also because it's too easy. This kind of strength makes it more difficult for him to perform as he did in the first game of the finals.

But so far, because there are many competitions and many rewards, there are already dozens of experience points, which can be exchanged for many things.

But Li Chengming's appetite has also grown now. Although some leftovers look cheap to him, they are not of great use to him personally if they are exchanged.

"There is very little that I can develop offensively now. Although the three-pointer can still be strengthened, it is not easy for me to invade the offensive space of my teammates..."

On the court, a team's possession of the ball and shots is roughly fixed, and it can be increased by speeding up the offensive rhythm and improving the offensive rounds, but there is also an upper limit.

And this is like a piece of cake, it all depends on how the players in the team divide it.

Some players get more points, while other players naturally get less points. In many cases, those players who seem to have good personal abilities are on the same team, but the results are not good. It is precisely because they The cakes they each got were less, and sometimes there might even be conflicts over sharing the cakes. In the end, no one was full, and no one was able to exert their full strength.

There may even be a mess and the result of going their separate ways.

This is actually the case with the Magic now. Li Chengming's presence in the interior actually squeezed a part of Howard's possession of the ball and shots.

Of course, it is generally positive. He can sometimes attract defenses to help Howard play the ball, making it easier for the latter to play on the offensive end.

Although it's true that he didn't take many shots, Howard's offensive efficiency in this playoffs is currently ranked among the top three in the interior. The reason why he is not the first is because of his own problems. against.

It is also because of this that there have been many ugly "cutting" scenes in the playoffs this season, which made the league estimate that it has to speed up the restrictions on "shark-cutting tactics".

After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and what it pursues is good-looking and exciting, rather than dragging the game into a tedious free throw shootout.

The reason why the Magic’s insiders are considered the best in the league this season is also because the three main insiders, Li Chengming, Howard and Lewis, can have good results no matter how they are paired together. The most is the strength of the defensive end. different.

So now their ball rights arrangement is more appropriate, everyone is used to it, and there is no opinion on each of them performing their duties.

But if Li Chengming wanted to expand his offensive field, then what would the Magic do with so many three-point shooters?
Including Lewis, he is actually a space-type insider who relies on three-pointers to survive most of the time.

You can't expect them all to squeeze into the basket to grab rebounds, right?

The enthusiasm of role players still needs to be mobilized by offense, because it is easy to get good data, and good data often means good contracts.

Li Chengming is also aware of this, so as long as he can find a good opportunity from the outside when he is on the court, he will not hesitate to pass the ball out to them to shoot, and generally they can seize the opportunity.

In fact, it is this simple cooperation that allows everyone to play their respective roles, which makes the Magic's offense seem unstoppable.

Because everyone on their field is useful, and the enthusiasm on the offensive end is mobilized, and they can often do a good job on the defensive end.

The Magic obviously belong to the kind of team whose basic defensive quality is not very good, but can be compensated by enthusiasm and cooperation.

Now Li Chengming also occasionally launches an attack on the three-point line. This is a guest appearance, and it is mainly the work of Turkoglu and Nelson.

But if Li Chengming wanted this and that, that would be taking other people's data, encroaching on other people's space and right to shoot, wouldn't this create discord in the team?
