NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 612

It is the first time for the NBA to organize a trip to China.

There were some bumps and bumps in the process, but the overall effect is satisfactory, because anyway, what the alliance needs is enthusiasm. As long as the media reports keep up, this test will be considered a success.

Of course, as an exchange activity for professional basketball players, the game is always the main theme, and the Sino-US friendly match became the climax of this activity, attracting the attention of the whole Shanghai and the whole country.

As for Li Qiuping's invitation to Li Shengli to visit the Shanghai team.

Because of the temporary adjustment of the event time, Li Shengli did not make it, and this means...Li Shengli and his new teammates have never even met face to face, and they just cooperated and played games directly. The team formed by Malone has a small disadvantage.

……

On the day of the competition, because the first communication and the first friendly match were not too particular, everything was kept simple.

Of course, there must be venues and referees. Before the game, players from both sides were warming up on the sidelines, and the Shanghai team was particularly lively because of Li Shengli, which attracted the attention of the audience.

"Here we come, Lao Li is here!"

"Damn, it's finally here. I've been waiting for several days."

"Old Li, go, fuck, kill these little red bastards!"

A very few fans spoke authentic national curses, Li Shengli sounded a little friendly, and O'Neill also felt the "enthusiasm" of the Chinese fans, waved to the fans, and chatted on his own. one thing.

On the contrary, the Shanghai team...

"Shengli, come on, time is running out, let's get to know each other first!" Li Qiuping pulled Li Shengli forward to introduce to the team members, "Boys, this is Li Shengli himself, damn it, you finally saw him alive today, and you don't have to I will introduce you to know the fighting power of this great Buddha!"

"Hit well in a while, don't embarrass me."

"Our opponent today is someone who gives the national team a headache."

"This is the highest level of basketball in the world, but don't be afraid of anything, let go and play for me, our Buddha will help you."

"Yao Ming, Liu Wei, both of you will start for me today!"

Li Qiuping said a few words, and introduced today's starting lineup to Li Shengli, focusing on the two young players of the new season, Yao Ming and Liu Wei. It seems that he really wanted to learn from the experience, and directly brought out the newcomers who are more malleable. exercise.

Li Shengli glanced at the two and nodded at each other.

Luckily, Liu Wei said that Yao Ming is obviously the inside player Li Qiuping said he would play with, roughly estimated to be [-] or [-] years old, and Li Shengli paid special attention to it, because this is what Li Qiuping said was the hope of the national basketball team.

"Brother, what position are you playing today?"

"Ah?" Yao Ming's personality was a bit introverted, and he said cautiously: "Brother, didn't you hear that, didn't the coach just say that I should play the second center first?"

"Cough... I'm distracted." Li Shengli's old face darkened, and he complained that Yao Ming is really a real kid, and the so-called second center is the name in China, but he is actually the fourth power forward, "Okay, there is nothing to be nervous about, you Just follow my rhythm in a while, let me tell you first...you may be facing Malone or Garnett in a while, look, it’s those two.”

"Ah, which one? He...they all look alike!"

"They all look the same?" Li Shengli froze for a moment, "Cough, they look similar at first glance, but after a while you'll be familiar with them, and I'll pass the ball to you."

"Then you don't fight yourself?"

"Old Li... your coach said that today is mainly for training you!"

Li Qiuping really said this.

After all, the Shanghai team has no shortage of pitchers and insiders, and even the whole country is like this. In games that are not aimed at winning, it is natural to train new players.

Li Shengli thought so too.

As the young player that Li Qiuping tried his best to cultivate, he was particularly concerned about Yao Ming, and Yao Ming was young and introverted, and he couldn't make three farts. He just took a few sneaky glances at Li Shengli, feeling that this big brother... Very nice people.

……

After waiting for a while, Li Qiuping started the pre-match arrangement for this game.

On the contrary, O'Neill's brigade feels a bit on vacation.

Although a few people can't reach the team's full roster, it's not a big problem. After all, there are only a few players in the NBA's game rotation, and their real problem is...the arrangement of the activities is too simple, and they don't even have a head coach .

It's easy to talk about tactics, just go up and play freely.

However, the question of personnel adjustment and who will be the starting lineup seemed embarrassing. Fortunately, the witty O'Neill proposed to decide the starting lineup by guessing fists, which won everyone's unanimous approval. After a while, he finally decided on the starting lineup for this game.

Big Ben, Garnett, Stockton, Kidd, Curry.

Relatively speaking... the lineup deployed from the limited personnel is not the strongest. After all, O'Neal, Malone, and Kobe have not yet played.

……

"Ben, can you do it?" O'Neill was very uncomfortable, and he lost the center forward's game of fist guessing.

"Damn it, that's Li, he said it as if you're up and you can do it!" Da Ben refused to accept it, but still wanted to hit him.

"Damn, why can't I do it? Can he still be older than me?" O'Neill scolded, turned to find Garnett, "Kevin, give me a chance, let me go, I waited for several days It's all over."

"Go away, as if I didn't wait?"

"Hey, I wish you to be blown up!"

"How is it possible, no one can do it in the NBA, and someone can beat me here? I won't..."

"If you don't let it go, don't let it go!" O'Neill scolded: "Damn, there are few people in the league who can be more aggressive than you. Kidd, Kidd, do you want to change? , Let me play point guard?"

"do not want!"

"And you, Curry."

"What do you think?"

"Stockton, you're sure..."

"Come on, Shaq, I'm playing shooting guard, you don't have points for your shots?"

"Damn, okay, okay, I won't be the starter, I'll just be the head coach, get out!" O'Neill was desperate, never thought he wouldn't even be a starter, even though he was guessing Yes, but looking at Li Shengli is really irritating.

……

It didn't take long, and the game started amidst the eager anticipation of the fans.

It's just that Li Shengli couldn't call his teammates by name before going on the field, except Yao Ming who was very caring, and Li Qiuping let Yao Ming play the fourth position, Li Shengli went on the field to see his opponent...

Big Ben + Garnett's defensive inside combination?

What if Yao Ming made unlimited shots, and then he was anxious?

Li Shengli's face darkened.

Big Ben and Garnett, as Li Shengli's current and former teammates, glanced at each other and knew what the big brother had in mind.

As for Li Shengli, to introduce Yao Ming's opponents one by one, the key point is Garnett.

"Center is Ben Wallace on defense, and that one over there is Dell Curry, the pitcher."

"That is Stockton, who is a point guard, and the other Jason Kidd is also, but his shooting is a bit ugly. These are basically good players in the NBA. There are still others off the court. I will tell you later. .”

"Focus on the one who's facing you later, yes, that's the one, he's the king of the NBA, Kevin Garnett!"

"Forcing the king?" This sudden commentary made Yao Ming stunned for a moment, "Aren't they all NBA stars? Is it appropriate for you to say so?"

"If anything is inappropriate, it's all acquaintances." Li Shengli patted Yao Ming's shoulder, "You fight hard, if you really can enter the NBA in the future, I will take you to see, I beat half of the hooligans in that ghost place, or Leave half for you?"

"Huh?" Yao Ming was stupid this time.

"Ah what, let me tell you this... the little rascals are not counted, I beat half of the big rascals, and the other half is not brought out by me, it is my people, if you can really come, it will take a while, I feel there is still room for more staff!"

"But...brother, I just started playing in the CBA!" Yao Ming panicked.

"Oh? Forgot, you're still young. But it's okay, as long as you have a goal, practice your hands first, and call me if someone bullies you. Brother will handle it comfortably for you today."
