NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 137 Winning the MVP of the Rookie Tournament
The first and second grades were inseparable. Every rookie cherished this hard-won opportunity to make his debut. Just look at Durant and you will know that it is difficult for even the No. [-] pick to get media attention.

Corey Brewer and Daniel Gibson of the second-year team showed their prowess in the third quarter. Corey Brewer is Li Zheng's old opponent and one of Florida's four young players. In the game against the Pistons, Daniel Gibson hit consecutive three-pointers and even stole Roy's limelight.

For rookie players, one year of systematic and scientific training, one year of actual combat experience, and rookie players are often in the ball-up period, there is still a big gap in this year, and second-year players often take the initiative , but this year is completely different. Although Li Zheng is theoretically a first-year rookie, he is older than some second-year players, not to mention his personal strength. It is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

What's more, Durant, Oden, and Yi Jianlian all have their own advantages. Li Zheng is familiar with their style of play and cooperates with them very well. Li Zheng brought the first-year starter to play and always firmly controlled the situation.

Daniel Gibson tried to find some pictures in front of Li Zheng. Li Zheng unceremoniously accepted two steals and two blocks. One of the volleyball caps slapped the ball into the audience. Daniel Gibson's eyes were obviously dimmed when he served the ball. At least, he is not the first opponent to be broken by Li Zheng, nor will he be the last.

第四节比赛更是变成了一年级的花式表演秀，奥登拿下的24分全都是扣篮，易建联拿下了17分8篮板，麦克康利拿到了11分22助攻，杜兰特17投14中拿下了32分，然后就是李正，这种强度的比赛让他没有任何压力，他10投10中，三分6投6中，罚球4投4中，以100%命中率拿下了30分10篮板和11助攻4抢断5盖帽的完美表现。

The first-year team also beat the second-year team 146 to 113. The second-year team's Roy scored 27 points. Daniel Gibson made 7 three-pointers in the first half. 1 goal, can only accept the bitter result.

In the end, Li Zheng was selected as the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, with a [-]% triple-double. David Stern was grinning from ear to ear, and the hand that handed Li Zheng the trophy was slightly trembling. Li Zheng was applauded by his teammates sincerely. He raised the trophy high and greeted everyone's congratulations.

After taking a round of photos, Li Zheng casually handed the trophy to his assistant, and chatted with his temporary teammates, as if he had just won a trivial honor.

Durant showed envious eyes, but then he felt a big hand firmly stop his shoulder.

"KD, don't fly grass in the hotel all the time, go out and play with us." Li Zheng put Yi Jianlian in one hand and Durant in the other with a smile.

"Drinking Coke with you? Playing with you is the most disappointing." Oden said in a low voice.

"Hey! How can you insult people's innocence out of thin air! I pay the bill, I can drink whatever I like, can you control me?" Li Zheng said awkwardly.

"He will go to the hotel gym to train when you are drunk, well, that's what he is." Roy interjected.

Li Zheng explained in embarrassment that being unable to sleep is not considered sneaking away, that cola is healthier than alcohol, and that hamburgers can really build muscle, etc., and cheerful laughter came from the crowd.

Durant also smiled. He is not a substitute for Miracle, not a candidate for Lee, and not a loser in Seattle. It would be great if time could stay here forever.

Li Zheng's fun career was ruined by the little old man David Stern. He blocked Li Zheng and forced him to participate in media interviews. access.

The media didn't care too much about today's rookie game. After all, if a player who is competing for MVP plays a rookie game, it is too ugly if he can't win or needs someone else. Li Zheng also won the game with gorgeous statistics, but in the eyes of the media and fans, Li Zheng just did what he should do.

Li Zheng tried his best to organize words to praise his opponents and temporary teammates, such as Oden's talent and talent, Yi Jianlian's humility and solid skills, Mike Conley's overall view, Durant's maddeningly accurate shots, and Daniel Gibson's performance full of competitive spirit not only did not belittle Li Zheng, James' younger brother, but gave a high evaluation, and expressed his appreciation for his courage to challenge himself.

"Talk about your rookie game MVP, Lee, how do you feel now?"

Li Zheng's expression suddenly became serious, "I'm talking about the performance of my teammates, we are just a temporary team, but unity, professionalism, sacrifice, these make up our team, it is not easy for us to win this game, Jie Green, Al Horford, Moon, Navarro, Scola, Sean, I will never forget these names, it is a wonderful memory, I am honored to be teammates with them."

"Talk about tomorrow's slam dunk contest and three-point contest, oh, and the skills challenge, Li, you seem to be the only player who signed up for all the competitions, do you have any goals?"

"I know what you want to hear, championship, number one, full marks, that's why I work hard every day, I won't say that I'm just here to play, these are indifferent things, I just want to win."

"Slam dunk for tomorrow? Keep it under wraps but I promise it will be great."

"Is there any pressure to be in the dunk contest and the three-point contest at the same time? Never, these are the crafts that I eat."

"What's your comment on not being selected for the Skills Challenge this time? The contestants in the Skills Challenge are very lucky."

David Stern darkened his face and signaled to the league staff to suspend the interview with Li Zheng. Li Zheng's interview remarks changed from a good leader who united the team at the beginning to a conceited hero. David Stern knew this. It was Li Zheng's protest, and he rolled his eyes at Li Zheng and left quietly.

Li Zheng shrugged. Maybe the NBA is not used to the intensity of Li Zheng's trash talk. After all, in the NCAA, Li Zheng was a madman who sent tickets to the finals in advance to his cheerleaders. He has restrained himself a lot when he came to this league.

Not long after, the super center from the Orlando Magic, Li Zheng’s biggest opponent in the slam dunk contest, Dewart Howard, said in an interview that he was ready to confront Li Zheng, and that his genius creativity would completely defeat Miracle. I am looking forward to tomorrow's slam dunk contest, but Li Zheng wants to participate in an appetizer, the three-point contest.
