The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 240, The Dragon King of the Northern Territory and Variety Shows?

After defeating the Bucks, the Thunder's record became 7 wins and 2 losses, continuing to rank second in the Western Conference.

The Lakers are now No. 8 in the West, with a record of 1 wins and 8 loss only behind the Cavaliers' [-]-game winning streak.

The third place in the Western Conference is the Nuggets. Although Iverson's departure has made the Nuggets' strength drop a bit, the schedule advantage at the beginning of the season allowed them to achieve a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, only losing one game more than the Thunder. .

The game against the Bucks was very easy for Li Senlin. He studied the opponent's defensive positions and watched a lot of game videos from the beginning of the preparations before the game.

Li Senlin is already slowly developing his professional habits. He used to be too casual and carefree.

As Durant shines, the defensive treatment Li Senlin enjoys is not the highest level. The opponent's defensive focus is on Durant. Li Senlin also has more time to read the situation on the field and decide when to defend. When to exert force, when to stay.

A game against the Bucks was completely overwhelming.

After playing the Bucks, the Thunder team immediately set off without stopping. Their next game is abroad, against the Toronto Raptors.

Arriving in Toronto earlier means more rest time, because in the next game after the Raptors, the Thunder will welcome the most powerful opponent in this Eastern Expedition.

…………

In the hotel, at the door of the room, Li Senlin was talking with Coach Brooks.

"Lee, this is the video of the Raptors' game at the beginning of the season, you can watch it."

Li Senlin took the USB flash drive from Brooks and replied, "OK, thank you, Coach Brooks."

"Haha, this is what I should do. I wish all of you would trouble me like this."

"Well, then I'll watch the video first."

"OK."

Brooks was very relieved to watch Li Senlin enter the room with the USB flash drive containing the Raptors video.

Li Senlin has become extremely active again during this time.

Li Senlin's mood was up and down, and Brooks didn't know what was going on with Li Senlin.

Sometimes he is very positive, and sometimes he is very negative. When he is positive, he is more diligent than Durant and Westbrook, but when he is lazy, he is also lazy than Harden. His personality is really difficult for Brooks to figure out.

Back in the room, Li Senlin turned on the computer and watched the video provided by the coaching staff and the information provided by the data analyst.

I studied the tactics and main players of the Raptors.

It has been a long time since Li Senlin traveled here. He has a basic understanding of the general style of play of the stars, but he has long forgotten the data of the stars. Li Senlin also needs to use data and videos to recall.

Looking at the data...

At this time, the Raptors are not the cute dragon with two guns in the future. Now the head of the Raptors is Chris Bosh, and DeRozan is just a dunker.

Dragon King is not that 0.5 giant. He is a real giant in Toronto. As the leader of the 03 generation, Dragon King is currently averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds per game this season. He will cause a lot of trouble for the Thunder inside.

The Raptors now have a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, ranking seventh in the East, and belong to the fringe team of the playoffs.

Li Senlin watched the video and combined his previous impressions, and analyzed Bosh's main characteristics.

Bosh can be regarded as a big player with excellent speed. He is flexible and has excellent jumping skills. He is good at post-up singles and then turning jumpers. The touch of the three-pointer is good, but it is not a conventional scoring method.

Bosh has an excellent defense ability on the defensive end, but due to his light weight, his individual defense ability is insufficient.

Chris Bosh's situation in the Raptors is a bit embarrassing. In the past three years, his scoring average has been between 22 and 23 points per game, but the Raptors' record has been worse year after year.

Compared with the other two power forward superstars in the league who are chasing history with glory and data, the Dragon King has not even dared to be called the number one power forward in the Atlantic region. (There is an iron-blooded big jumper who fights and retreats in the Atlantic area, and the Celtics are in town).

The Raptors also seem to be ready for the Dragon King to leave next summer.

The Raptors now have the triangle structure of Calderon, Barryani and Turkoglu, and the team will not die or starve in the next four years.

The idea of ​​the Raptors management is also very unique. Next summer, the Dragon King will stay if he wants to.

But Li Senlin, who knows the future well, knows that they really can't even touch the fish!Few stars want to come to Toronto.
Turkoglu, another main player of the Raptors, also won the "Spell of Improved Player of the Year Award".After Turkoglu won the MIP award in 2008, his regular season data in the Magic last season declined across the board. Fortunately, he played a career masterpiece in the playoffs.

Although Turkoglu's data is only 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, but because of those iconic moments, such as the lore, the assassin's smile, and the opportunity to show his face as the actual organizer of the Magic, Turkoglu reached At the pinnacle of his life, Turkoglu left Toronto this summer and also got a big contract.

The ups and downs of Turkoglu's performance in the two seasons of 2007-09 also hinted at his strengths and limitations. Turkoglu can be regarded as one of the players with the biggest heart, the most insidious and the smartest in the league, but his offense requires a lot of As a cover, his defense is only height and consciousness, and he needs Warcraft to make up for it. He and the Magic's system belong to the perfect match, but when the opponent puts pressure, his performance will become unstable.

Tomorrow night's game against the Raptors, Turkoglu will also be a key target for the Thunder.

…………

In addition to Turkoglu and Bosh, there is another giant Barryani.

In the past three years, Bariani was forced to wander between the 3rd and 5th positions. It was not until the average of 20 points per game in the second half of last season and a long-term contract this summer that he established himself in the Tigers. dragon status.

Moderate single defense ability in the penalty area, occasional blocking ability, ordinary support, super long three-point shooting range, face-to-basket pace and soft touch for single-handed big men. Giant height, these are all the characteristics of this No. [-] pick, a bit Like a poor man's Porzingis from the future.

On the defensive end, he relies on awareness to make up for the strength gap. On the offensive end, he relies on long-range shooting and pace to create dislocations. He is a big man who relies on positioning to solve problems.

Li Senlin can only say that this top pick was born in the wrong era, and this kind of big man will be very popular in the future, but now!One parallel import champion.

After watching the video for a long time, Li Senlin has basically studied the characteristics of the "Big Three" of Bosh + Turkoglu + Barryani.

...............

Not long after reading the information, Li Senlin received an application from Crocodile Yun to connect to the video...

Soon that handsome face was displayed on the screen.

"Ouba, I'm so tired, we've had a lot of concerts and event announcements this month... I hate it, put on your clothes..."

The crocodile Yun Pili was halfway through speaking when he saw Li Senlin's shirtless chest showing his chest muscles, and he immediately became shy.

"Well, I don't want to cancel the contract when the concert is held. I have a lot of money now, so it's no problem to support you. If you don't wear it, the heating here is a bit hot. Why are you blushing? It's not like you haven't seen it..."

Li Senlin was shirtless and complained to Crocodile Yun about the heating here. She should be in the room by herself, and there were no other girl group members, so Li Senlin didn't take it seriously.

Toronto in winter deserves to be called the northern border. It was freezing outside, minus 3 degrees, and the heater in the hotel room was too hot. Li Senlin took off his shirt to feel less hot.

"If you have a lot of money, you have to save it. Don't waste it. Artists and players are young fans. We will spend a lot of money in the future..."

After hearing Li Senlin's words, Crocodile Yun frowned, worrying about the future consumption of the two.

She knows that after the player retires, her income will not be high, and if she does not become a star, her income will also drop, so the two of them must control their life and consumption in the future, and they must not be extravagant.

Crocodile Yun will put down layers of disguise in front of Li Senlin, and restore the nature of that kind of woman, not a goddess, but an ordinary woman who is careful about life.

Li Senlin didn't interfere with her calculations. He will have more money in the future than this girl imagined. There is really no need to worry about money, so he can only answer: "Yes, I understand."

Crocodile Yun saw that Li Senlin didn't want to worry about money, so he stopped talking and talked about other things.

"Many variety shows in China now invite me to go. I'm considering whether to go or not. Obama should have watched all those variety shows. Hehe, your fans all want me to participate."

As the popularity of Girls' Generation soared, so did Crocodile Yun's fame.Li Senlin is not a variety show, his fans and fans who want to know more about the life of idols have no way to start, so they only encourage him to find Crocodile Yun.

Li Senlin is different from Yao Ming, Li Senlin is born with the attributes of the entertainment industry.
He has a good image, is capable of fighting, has a strong aura, and can sing TM. These skills have their own topics, which are easy to cause a lot of gossip traffic.

"Haha, go, go, they are stupid and have a lot of money."

Li Senlin knew that before the "Korean Restriction Order" came out, Korean stars were basically praised in China in the past, and maybe someone would kneel down and worship them!

"Hmph, Oppa is stupid, they are not stupid, it's a good deal if I go, if I go, they will definitely let me play games with you live to answer questions and so on, one is worth two. "

Crocodile Yun thinks that if going to variety shows can make her relationship with Li Senlin recognized by most Chinese people, then she will definitely go, so she feels that the pressure they will face in the future will be much less.

"Well! No problem, I will charge you twice! Otherwise, I won't do it."

"It's too much for you to cheat them like this!"

The two video chatted for more than an hour, because Li Senlin had to get up early for training tomorrow, so the two ended the video call.

The evening of April 11.

Air Canada Center Arena!

In the NBA regular season, the Ohlahoma City Thunder challenged the Toronto Raptors away.

Due to the growing popularity of the Thunder's three juniors and their brutal style of play, the arena that can accommodate 19800 spectators is almost full. Li Senlin also saw many Chinese wearing his jersey to cheer him on.

Before the game, Li Senlin attended the dinner organized by the Chinese community. Li Senlin's outstanding performance on the court undoubtedly made many Chinese proud.

Now more and more Americans and Canadians know that Li Senlin is also from China. Whenever they chat with Chinese people, they will almost always mention Li Senlin. This has forced many Chinese who do not watch football to start to understand Li Senlin’s deeds. .

After the game started.

The Toronto Raptors at home seemed very uncomfortable.

Because their offense and defense have been thoroughly studied by the well-prepared Thunder Three.

The Raptors' defenses have no bond, they've always been in the duo with either a gap or no help at all, allowing opponents to swing between drives.

The Raptors' defensive position is very forward, the inside line is empty, and the outside wings always leak gaps. They are slow to deal with running without the ball, so KD and Westbrook are allowed to cut in from the first quarter.

Shuang Shao completed many strong dunks at the beginning of the game, which directly opened the score.

And the Raptors' offense.

Every time Calderon and Turkoglu pass a screen, they are always cornered by the Thunder. When Calderon and Turkoglu can pass the ball, the Thunder have already rotated.

So all the Raptors' offenses ended up with only a few routines.Bosh hit back at 45 degrees, Bayani went down to catch the ball and attacked, Turkoglu made a jumper from both wings, and DeRozan made a mighty cut.

But these kinds of offenses rely heavily on the containment of the three-pointer from the outside, and the Raptors' three-pointer performance is extremely poor, and the shooters feel as if they have been frozen by the cold winter.

The Raptors are at a disadvantage against the Thunder, which has won 3 consecutive victories.

From the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder continued to speed up the offensive end!Speed ​​up!Using offense instead of defense, the Raptors' offensive advantage was reduced to a minimum, and San Shao could be seen galloping throughout the game.

As soon as Raptors star Bosh held the ball and hit back, Westbrook and Li Senlin went up to double-team frantically.

Since the Raptors have a large number of newcomers and Turkoglu, the new organizer, the tacit understanding of the Raptors' positioning, jump shots, and screens is very unfamiliar. This situation caused the Raptors to lose the game. Strange.

After the referee whistle sounded, the final score was fixed at 80 to 101. The Raptors lost at home and the Thunder won 4 consecutive victories!

猛龙的波什拿到20分12篮板2盖帽，数据勉强及格，但20投7中的命中率跟6个失误的数据也很感人。特科格鲁11分6助攻，巴里亚尼13分6篮板。

雷霆这边杜兰特继续30+得分表演，全场豪取31分11篮板。威斯布鲁克18分11助攻10个篮板，取得三双，李森林28分6助攻2篮板，三人合砍77分，再次显示进攻端的统治力。

After winning the game in Toronto, the Thunder set off immediately and rushed to Orlando. They wanted to challenge the Orlando Magic, which is currently second in the Eastern Conference and has Warcraft Howard.
