Li Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva bitterly, and said in his heart, "What kind of strength would Yi Jianlian have if his ability were increased by 30%? It’s not too much for Garnett, the Wolf King, is it? ! My own mother! Is this going to make people play? It seems that the next game can only be hard. "
In the face of difficulties, Li Cheng’s mentality is very mature. He will never look back and forth as before. Now that the difficulties have come, he can only do what he has in front of him and then face them.
Isn’t it Yi Jianlian whose ability has improved by 30%? He can still go to heaven? Li Chengben was shocked by the punishment of "mission failure", but now his mentality has returned to normal.
Time flies, and the game between Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks will begin. For the China market, espn will face the national live broadcast of this game, which is not the biggest change brought by the collision of two China players. The difference between today’s game and the previous games is that there are obviously many China people with dark hair and yellow skin at the scene of this game. These China people, including journalists and fans.
Li Cheng just finished warming up today and was immediately surrounded by a group of China reporters.
"Li Cheng, you are the first China defender to start in the nba. Today you are going to meet Yi Jianlian on the court. What do you think?"
"Play my own game well. For me, this game is no different from other games."
"Now that your fame in China has firmly held Yi Jianlian down, do you think you can hold him down in this game?" This reporter with a Cantonese accent is obviously picking a fight.
Li Cheng said with a smile, "I have a very good personal relationship with Yi Jianlian, and some off-site things will not affect our friendship. In addition, the two of us, one on the inside and one on the outside, simply can’t say who will suppress who. "
Now, Li Cheng is not that young man who knows nothing. His level of facing journalists is much higher than before. This level of improvement is similar to the improvement of his ball skills.
"What do you think Yi Jianlian will do tonight? How will you behave yourself? "
"My own! It should be about the same as before! I feel that I am in good shape today. As for Yi Jianlian? " Li Cheng blinked wittily and said, "He may explode tonight!"
Chapter 57 China Derby
The game between Pacers and Bucks has finally started, and many China fans are watching it. This game may not be a fierce battle, but there are two China players in this game, which is what China fans are concerned about.
Before the game, a reporter interviewed the Chinese fans on the sidelines. "Why did you come to watch this game?"
"In this game, two China players appeared in the nba, regardless of their strength. I am proud and proud to see two China players competing on the same court at the peak of basketball. "
Yes! Because of pride, because of pride, this game has attracted the attention of China fans.
At the beginning of this game, Li Cheng lived up to everyone’s expectations. He took the ball at the next position in the three-point line. Facing Reid’s defense, Li Cheng calmly shot and the basketball got into the basket steadily.
Li Cheng’s shooting opened the scoring gate for this game. Reed turned around and scored Li Cheng in the low post through pick-and-roll, helping the Bucks hit the first goal tonight.
Li Cheng can’t do anything about Reid’s attack, not to mention his defense in the low post just now, and his defense skills in other aspects are almost zero. Of course, these are only based on the nba.
Today, the Bucks’ defense against Li Cheng is different from that of other teams before. They didn’t want to cut off Li Cheng’s catch with the passer. They mainly relied on Reid’s fierce interception and aggressive defense. Obviously, under such defense, Li Cheng is somewhat uncomfortable.
In this attack, Li Cheng easily received Tinsley’s pass, but as soon as he got the ball, Reid reached out and cut the basketball that Li Cheng was holding in his hand. Reed slapped the ball hard on Li Cheng’s hand, but the referee didn’t blow it.
Li Cheng could only complain to the referee, and then shouted to Tinsley, "Give me the ball and pass it higher."
Tinsley nodded to show that she knew.
Bogut’s shot was rejected by the basket, Foster took off the rebound, and it was the Pacers’ turn to attack again. This time the ball didn’t reach Li Cheng, and Granger’s mid-range jumper added two points to the Pacers.
Today, two guests in charge of espn’s live commentary are Buckley and Van Gundy. Buckley said, "The defense of these two teams is not very good. Today’s game should be wonderful. Now they are switching between offense and defense very quickly."
"all right! I admit it. However, it is difficult for these two teams to launch an impact on the championship. Only hard defense can win the championship for the team. " Van Gundy said.
Buckley said in his heart, "This kid hasn’t adapted to the angle yet!" He thought about his mouth, but he changed the subject. "Reed broke through Lee again, and he swayed twice in a row, and Murphy came out to make up the defense and pass the ball! Wow! Another China player is easy to fill the box with both hands in the inside, beautiful! "
"A player like Li is very easy to be blasted by opponents on the defensive end, and his contribution on the offensive end can actually be offset on his defensive end."
Van Gundy studied the video of Li Cheng’s game. When he saw Li Cheng being treated as a black hole by his opponent again and again, his affection for the player suddenly disappeared. Today, when he was explaining the game, he saw Li Cheng being broken by Reid several times in succession, and even a sense of disgust rose in his heart.
In fact, Li Cheng’s performance has been noticed by all the coaches in the league. If we make an objective evaluation, when Sung Jae Lee’s offensive end flashes, his strange performance is enough to make up for his loopholes in the defensive end. And now he is still very young, as long as he is willing to work hard, defense can always be practiced.
Repeatedly suppressed by Reid on the defensive end, Li Cheng also decided to make some counterattacks. He sped up his running, and under the cover of Foster, Li Cheng turned around and turned away from Reed. Granger, who played singles with the ball on the side, was ready to pass the ball. After Li Cheng received the ball, he took off and shot directly.
When Li Cheng successfully got rid of the players who were watching him, his shooting percentage was as high as 87%. Basically, as long as he can get rid of his opponent, he has already scored.
Reid is also a second-round show. At the same time, he also watched the second-round show of 50+ in a single game. However, his fate is similar to that of Li Cheng. Li Cheng also admires players like Reid very much, but now it’s a game, and he can’t be soft.
Moreover, in Li Cheng’s understanding, to play against a player, only by exerting all his strength can he abide by the other side and win the respect of the other side.
In the face of Li Cheng, Reid seemed very silent, but he never relented in every breakthrough. Since the beginning of the game, Li Chenggong has never successfully prevented Reid’s breakthrough. Fortunately, Foster’s awareness of cooperation and defense is good, so that Reid’s every breakthrough is not scored.
The first game lasted until the fifth minute, and the coaches of both teams didn’t call a time-out. Buckley praised: "The smoothness of this game is really high, and the offensive and defensive changes between the two teams are fast. It’s really enjoyable to watch."
"These two teams are built around players’ personal abilities. Indiana relies on the power of the strikers, while Milwaukee relies on Reid to penetrate the pacers’ frontline defense and connect with the big players inside, and then cause damage." Van gundy said.
Van Gundy is right. The attack of the Pacers is mainly launched by Li Cheng and Granger. If one of them is strangled, the attack threat of the Pacers will be reduced by half. If both of them can be strangled, the Pacers will be hanged. Bucks are similar to walkers, but in theory, it is true, but it is not low to really strangle all the opponents’ cores.
Buckley and Van Gundy were explaining the excitement, but the original harmonious scene on the court suddenly changed color.
After getting the ball with his back against Reid, Li Cheng turned back and took a jumper to score two points. Then he threw off Reed again and received a pass from his teammates and hit the shot. Then Murphy helped him pick and roll. Li Cheng faced Yi Jianlian, and two China players directly confronted him.
"Li Cheng and Yi Jianlian were in opposition for the first time, and the scene that China fans wanted to see finally appeared." China 5, Yoga Yu shouted.
Today’s commentator Xu Jicheng said: "Li Cheng should still choose to shoot this ball, and Yi Jianlian can’t stop him."
Sure enough, in the face of his compatriots, Li Cheng was not soft. He patted the ball and then stepped back decisively to jump shot. The basketball rubbed the inside of the basket and got into the basket.
Li Cheng’s scores are often concentrated together, which is what many people evaluate-the flash moment. Li Cheng’s scoring characteristics are very helpful when the team is chasing or drawing.
Li Cheng’s sudden strength suddenly changed the situation on the field, but then, a person who surprised everyone suddenly broke out …
Chapter 58 Normalization
Because Li Cheng scored 6 points in a row, the score on the field was rewritten as 14 to 19, and the Pacers instantly opened the difference of 5 points.
"Li Chenglian scored 6 points, and he helped the Pacers get a 5-point lead in an instant. What will the Bucks do next? "
"Yi Jianlian has not performed so far. He has almost no sense of existence on the court. Let’s see what kind of performance he will have next!"
"This is a Chinese derby. What we want to see is two China players echoing each other on the court and playing some echoing balls, not like this. Yi Jianlian has no sense of existence at all, but Li Cheng has already begun to radiate his own energy. "
Two commentators from China Radio 5 were talking about the excitement when Yi Jianlian suddenly broke out.
Reid’s shot missed the three-point line, Yi Jianlian took the rebound above Murphy’s head, and then he took off with his hands and dunked the box successfully.
"beautiful! Like a flying fairy in the sky, two China players started to shine. "
"Before the game, Li Cheng said that Yi Jianlian would break out in this game, and I don’t know if his performance tonight will be as Li Cheng said."
