The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 171, the contest begins.

At this time, the entire Denver Nuggets boarded a plane to Ohla Homa.

When Iverson appeared in front of the hotel, he was chased and intercepted by reporters.

Recently, Iverson has been involved in trade rumors again. The attack power of the two-gun combination formed by him and Anthony is indeed very strong. The attack power ranks among the top three in the league, but they don't seem to have much championship temperament, because their defense is also bad.

Since ancient times, the saying that defense wins the championship is not a rumor. No championship team will often be scored more than 120 points by the opponent, which means that they must score more points than the opponent to win the game.

Although the state of ai has declined, he is still the darling of the media and fans, so wherever he is, there will be a spotlight.

Iverson entered the league as a rebel.

David Stern tried to transform his image and tried to bring him back to the right track, but unfortunately, Iverson has become a cultural phenomenon. Many teenagers are proud to imitate him, and they are constantly learning from his tattoos. pitch action.

Iverson has become a belief.

The reporter at the entrance of the hotel asked Iverson about Li Senlin's opinion.

"AI, your opponent tomorrow night, Li Senlin, has broken many records this season. He holds the rookie scoring record this season. He once scored 35 points in a single quarter and hit 34 points in 12 seconds. He looks Handsome and stylish, he is attracting global attention, and now he has become a new generation idol for many Asian teenagers."

"His story is very inspirational and legendary, and it is said that he has begun to form a belief in the hearts of fans."

"A lot of people said he was like Reggie Miller, but he said he was like Kobe Bryant with his passing skills. What do you think of the above?"

The reporter took the microphone and interviewed Iverson.

Iverson looked at the reporter with some dissatisfaction. He was blocked at the entrance of the hotel. He was in a bad mood, but he still accepted the interview.

"I know this kid, and I've seen his videos. In my eyes, he is neither like Reggie Miller nor Kobe. He has a very good shooting ability, but he can only shoot. His breakthrough ability is too poor, the number of times he hits the inside is too few, and the Kobe you have seen is not a pitcher. In general, I think his current strength is not enough to support such a big pursuit and praise."

"Also, I think there is a problem with his fighting spirit. He will not maintain the same vigorous competitive spirit and the kind of heart that is not afraid of competition like Kobe. Of course, it is not just about him, but also other new-generation stars. Who are they? I'll leave it at that, it's a matter of times, except for Russell Westbrook, I like that guy."

Iverson expressed his views on Li Senlin.

At the same time, he also criticized the new generation of stars who are not as obsessed with winning as before, impure and broken, and lack that kind of toughness.

After this passage was recorded by a reporter and posted on the Internet, it aroused widespread discussion.

Iverson's statement also expressed the psychological thoughts of many fans. The new generation of stars seems to be less and less fond of physical confrontation.

This is particularly evident in Li Senlin. Although Li Senlin lacks blood in his playing, he has created many records and had many explosive performances. Therefore, more and more teenagers have begun to imitate his attacking style. Outside shot.

Parents are also happy to see their children doing this because it reduces the risk of injury to their children.

When Li Senlin came out of the training hall again, he was also blocked by a group of reporters who swarmed in. They couldn't even wait for tomorrow's pre-match press conference. Li Senlin had no choice but to stop his way home. pace.

The reporters relayed Iverson's words to Li Senlin.

Li Senlin stared at the reporter who blocked his way forward, and replied: "Fans have the right to freely choose their favorite stars. I don't care whether they are imitating my technical moves. In addition, I think most parents are willing to let Their kids avoid getting hurt. The way I play, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, not everyone is Iverson."

"As for what he said about fighting spirit and competitiveness, I just want to respond, and wait until he beats me. Of course, I will tell him the answer with my performance on the court!"

Facing the reporter's microphone and camera, Li Senlin responded impatiently.

He doesn't like people telling him what to do in the way of educating him, especially those guys who start pretending to be famous before they retire.

……

"Li, I heard you got into a fight with Iverson?"

Li Senlin who returned home received a call from Westbrook.

Westbrook was injured recently and could not play. He was very depressed, but he did not let go of his concern for his teammates.

"No, what's wrong?"

Although Li Senlin responded to Iverson, he would not be able to confront him.

"Look at today's news."

Westbrook also seemed to realize that it was not Li Senlin who had a problem.

"Ah."

While talking on the phone, Li Senlin also opened the webpage.

Big news headlines with big headlines.

"Li Senlin VS Iverson, Li Senlin said that he will educate the AI ​​on the court."

"Li Senlin made rude remarks and threatened to beat Iverson."

Looking at these headlines, Li Senlin's face darkened. Before that, it was mainly the conflict between him and Anthony, and Iverson just wanted to support his teammates.

But now that the media is playing this kind of headline, it is obviously pushing him to the opposite side of Iverson.

Li Senlin has made enough enemies, and he doesn't want to offend all the stars in the league.

"These are written by the media. They are too exaggerated. I don't have any personal conflicts with AI."

Li Senlin said to Westbrook on the phone.

"The media is deliberately shaping the opponent. They are creating conflicts between you and Iverson. Do you need me to find the AI?"

Westbrook feels very bad. The team has been in a lot of trouble recently. Facing the stubborn gold with two guns, he has always been unwilling to admit defeat, and he is not optimistic about the Thunder.

Neither he nor Durant can play. The media's remarks are undoubtedly intended to humiliate Li Senlin through victory, which is unacceptable to Westbrook as a teammate.

Westbrook was unhappy with Li Senlin, mainly because he thought this guy didn't try his best, was too weak, and couldn't save the team like before.

But contradictions are contradictions, and in the face of foreign enemies, we still have to be consistent with the outside world.

Iverson is very optimistic about Westbrook, and the relationship between the two is okay. Therefore, Westbrook can act as a middleman to eliminate misunderstandings.

"It's okay, let them hype, I don't worry about it now, Russell, I will lead the team to win the next game. Just wait and see."

"OK..."

Westbrook hung up the phone, disapproving of Li Senlin's remarks.

"If Li Senlin can beat Iverson to death, then this matter will become very interesting."

An idea popped up in Westbrook's mind.

Then he shook his head, how is this possible?

After finishing the conversation with Westbrook, Li Senlin watched the game video of the Denver Nuggets.

Tomorrow, against AI, there is bound to be a contest between the two.

No matter how deep the grievances between Anthony and him are, the two are not in alignment, so Li Senlin's focus is on Iverson.

Watching the video, Li Senlin recalled the information about the Denver Nuggets.

Over the past few seasons, they have assembled a near-perfect lineup.But it has always played the role of accompanying runner, especially after being swept by the Lakers in the first round last season, whether the combination of Iverson + Anthony can bring success has become more and more doubtful.

Rumors abounded this summer about the Nuggets trading Iverson or Anthony.But the final result is that both Iverson and Anthony stayed on the team.

Due to salary pressure, the Nuggets chose to send Camby away.This change further weakened the Nuggets defensively.

Of course, for the Nuggets who believe in the rule of "it doesn't matter if you lose 110 points, as long as you get 111 points", defense is simply an insignificant link.

Only attack, attack, and attack is the kingly way they respect.

This is not unrelated to the coaching thinking of head coach George Karl. Looking at history, in Karl's coaching career, there has never been a team that relied on defense to win the world.

The difference between their defense and offense is too great.

After watching the video, Li Senlin fell asleep with his thoughts on his mind.

Ever since the scandal between Li Senlin and Lin Yuner was exposed, Lin Weiwei never took the initiative to contact him again.

Li Senlin has too many troubles recently, and he has no time to take care of him.

…………

The next afternoon.

Pre-match media interview area.

"This kid is just a rookie with mediocre talent. I will blow him up tonight."

JR Smith boasted to the reporter that Li Senlin was really hated by some American defenders.

A Chinese broke so many records, and at one point even rubbed many rookies of the same year on the ground. This is something that arrogant Americans cannot accept.

If you want to say how high they praised at the beginning, how hard they step on it now.

In addition to Iverson for the Nuggets, JR also jumped out.

The Nuggets' two guards have never been good at it, and their careers look more like street punks than playing.

There are a lot of reporters today, because of Anthony's grievances with Iverson and Li Senlin, this game was also included in the live broadcast plan by TNT and CCTV.

Li Senlin, passing by the interview area, took a look at Iverson and JR, who were talking nonsense to the media. He didn't stop to accept the interview, but walked back to the locker room. It all depends on the action.

As for the three of them swearing to the media, they said how they would beat the Thunder.

Li Senlin was not in the mood to argue with them, so he just watched how they played to death..., we will talk about everything after the game is over.

Back in the locker room, most of the teammates were there, but the overall atmosphere was poor, with a gloomy atmosphere spreading, no one spoke, and the shadow of losing streak hung over everyone.

"Li, these are two newcomers, this is Kostic, and this is Rose."

"Hello, Li."

The two nodded to Li Senlin who was tying his shoelaces.

Johan Pedro brought two newcomers over to meet Li Senlin.

After Qiao Han got the contract, he supported Li Senlin even more in the locker room.

He was very smart and started to help Li Senlin gather his younger brothers. As soon as the newcomers arrived, Qiao Han explained the rules of the locker room to the two newcomers, and successfully attracted the two newcomers to worship on the mountain.

Although Li Senlin didn't know about these things, Qiao Han was very happy doing it.

"Ah hello."

Li Senlin greeted the two of them separately. Kostic is a big white guy with a very friendly appearance, not the kind of fierce insider.

Rose is not the Rose in Chicago, but Wilcox.

After Li Senlin finished greeting, the team coach Brooks clapped his hands and signaled all the players to come over.

Because of the sudden losing streak, Brooks was under a lot of pressure, and the rumors about his dismissal were also heated up by the media.

Brooks moved his glasses, looked at the scattered players in the locker room, and sighed.

Durant and Westbrook put on their suits and sat aside, chatting with their respective gangs.

"People's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead."

Brooks is also very eager to use a victory to reverse the decline, but after looking at the starting lineup arranged last night, he really doesn't have much confidence.

After a while, the players gathered around.

Brooks began the tactical arrangement.

…………

Happy Dragon Boat Festival.
