I just want to play healthy basketball

After the Bucks defeated the Jazz, He Li was swiped by the system, and he couldn't even take a shower safely.

He Li didn't pay too much attention to the rewards of the main task. In a short period of time, He Li didn't have the idea or object of using the small shooting action learning machine.

Of course, He Li is still very interested in the task that has just been refreshed.

The protective gear gift pack can arm people to the teeth. It seems that the Rookie Challenge has to be won.

After owning the protective gear spree, He Li's sense of security can be greatly improved.

The fly in the ointment is, when will the system be able to generate a task reward of a three-piece health preservation set of wolfberry, boiled water, and thermos cup.

"He Li, are you ready to wash? Coach George told us to go to the media interview!" Ray Allen walked to the door of the bathroom and informed He Li.

There is wine and food, Mr. food.The same goes for team rules.

After everyone finished playing together, the team boss took a shower first.

So while He Li was showering with the other substitutes, Ray Allen had already changed in the locker room.

He Li taking a shower is not as troublesome as other black players. After washing and wiping his body, he can meet people after blowing his head.

In fact, during post-match interviews, players can meet with media reporters without taking a shower, and some black players will do this.

But He Li felt that it was inappropriate to do so, and he still had to pay attention to hygiene for both himself and others.

As for Ray Allen, it may be because of obsessive-compulsive disorder.Also because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, many times Ray Allen will not participate in post-match interviews, but today is an exception.

What men like is nothing more than power, sex, fame, and fortune.

Ray Allen is no exception.

Today's game was broadcast live across the United States, and the Jazz gathered a large number of sports media reporters from all over the United States at home, so Ray Allen is not an exception.

He Li quickly followed Ray Allen to the media interview area and sat on the seat next to the rostrum.

There are only three seats on the rostrum. Coach George Karl sits on the other side, and Ray Allen sits in the middle. When all the staff are present, the post-match interview begins.

According to the rules, the reporter generally had to interview the boss and coach of the team first. He Li's qualifications were still relatively young, so it was never his turn to speak first.

However, the reporters on the scene just didn't play their cards according to the rules.

"Excuse me, He Li! In this game, you played against Karl Malone and scored 28 points, the second highest score in the game.

Karl Malone's game stats and field performance are not as good as yours, and the Bucks won because of it.

Do you think the key to winning this game is because of you? "

He Li was a little surprised when he heard this. Logically, he shouldn't have asked, "You defeated Karl Malone in this game. What do you think about it?" Questions like this?
He Lidu made a draft of the standard answer of "sit on the bench and watch" in his mind.

It's coming, it's coming, I don't even ask that.

However, He Li was already prepared.He Li's agent, Jeff Austin, taught He Li some routines that he could use in answering interviews long before He Li arrived in the Jazz.

"Of course! The key to the Bucks winning this game is indeed because of me!"

He Li's answer gave the reporters a taste of the sweetness, and many reporters subconsciously moved the topic forward to He Li.

However, He Li then said: "Before the game, our coach George gave us a particularly advanced, excellent and effective tactics."

George Karl smiled slightly when he heard this, it was obvious that He Li had won the trust of George Karl.

"If in the game, I don't run according to Coach George's tactics, I don't follow the requirements of Coach George, I'm afraid we will lose the game.

As you can see, I keep scoring on Karl Malone!

But have you ever thought about why I dare to do this!
You know he is Karl Malone!The boss of the Jazz, a top 20 superstar with nearly [-] years of game experience!
I'm just a rookie, how dare I shoot unscrupulously on the head of the great Karl Malone?

And my teammates, why did they dare to pass me the ball when I was facing Karl Malone?
Aren't my teammates afraid of losing the game because I can't put the ball in the basket?
All of this is naturally because of Coach George!It was he who told us that playing like this would win the game. "

He Li answered the question with American humor, first followed the reporter's intention to answer, and then reversed and attributed the victory of the game to the coach.

While praising the coach, He Li also praised the greatness of the opponent, which contrasts how powerful He Li's own ability is!
He Li only heard half of the answer, and the reporters on the scene knew that He Li had a book called "Emotional Intelligence" in his mind.

"When I first came on the court, I was worried that my NBA regular season debut would be screwed up by myself!
When I learned that my opponent would be Karl Malone, I was so scared that I couldn't even walk!
There is a voice in my heart: 'He will kill me!I can't play! '

But at this time, Coach George told me, either start like a fighter, or be a coward until the bench is worn out!
I love basketball and I am willing to give her everything I have.

Although I am afraid of the great Karl Malone, I know better that my NBA career has just begun and I cannot end it here.

Therefore, I can only play the role of the team and play the function that I should play according to the coach's instructions before the game, regardless of everything!
I think I did it, I overdid it!I also think that the key to the Bucks winning this game is because of me!"

He Li's answer echoed from beginning to end, which made the reporters very satisfied. After hearing He Li's answer, many people couldn't help grinning.

George Karl on the other side of the rostrum was also smiling like a dead wood, and the spring was bright.

"As expected of the person I fancy!"

Good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a thousand.

He Li's way of answering made most people find it quite interesting, and the second reporter followed him with such an opinion.

"I would like to ask He Li, why did you beat Karl Malone?
You were only the 16th overall pick in the first round!

Does your wonderful performance today mean that most of the team managers, coaches, and scouts were wrong in the previous draft? "

He Li thought for a while before answering; "What I can tell you is, no.

I've had similar questions before at Summer League.

I want to tell everyone that I am not the most talented rookie in this class, but I definitely work harder than most rookies! "

"Of course, when a rookie comes to the Bucks, when he sees Ray Allen, he will find that the previous efforts are far from enough."

When Ray Allen heard what He Li said, he immediately became interested and turned his head to He Li.

He Li continued to talk eloquently: "Before you asked me why I could beat Karl Malone, my answer was that I didn't beat him!
新秀科比挑战乔丹，科比20投12中，罚球9投6中拿下33分，乔丹22投12中，罚球12投11中拿下36分。

In terms of scoring efficiency, Kobe is still superior.But did Kobe win?Did Jordan care about Kobe Bryant as a rookie?

As it turns out, no, no!

I was only the 16th overall pick in the first round. Historically, many players like me have completely disappeared after playing in this league for three or four years.

Karl Malone is one of the top [-] superstars. In the position of power forward, only Charles Barkley can be compared with him.

Tim Duncan is the champion, has a championship, and has fmvp, but most people think that Tim Duncan has defeated Karl Malone?
In today's regular season, it's just that the Bucks defeated the Jazz.It wasn't me who beat Karl Malone, it was us! "

"Actually, the team has a super scorer like Ray who made 21 of 11 shots and scored 32 points;
With a super point guard like Sam who has 11 assists but only 3 turnovers, it is very difficult to lose the game!

Listen to what I said, are you curious, do I have a bad relationship with Glenn?
That's right, his game statistics today were indeed not that good, and he didn't even get the 20 points he could score with his eyes closed.

But it just goes to show that I have a good relationship with him.

To be honest, Big Dog is my boss on the team!The relationship between us is simply not very good.

He used to drive me around Milwaukee, treat me to dinner, train with me, teach me all kinds of basketball skills.

Why can I have such a strong offensive ability, because I have studied with the big dog for a full month.

In this game, he continued to give me the ball, let me perform, helped me defend, and did a lot for me and the team.

He is my boss!I have such a good boss and good teammates in the Bucks, I can't think of a reason, how could we lose! "

After He Li's impassioned speech, some people applauded at the scene, although not many.

The next third question, I finally stopped asking He Li, but asked George Karl. George Karl affirmed He Li's performance in this game and was full of praise for He Li...

In other words, the media interview area is not far from the team's locker room. If players don't want to get in the car and wait for their teammates, they can listen behind the background wall.

Originally, there was only a wall between the rostrum and the players who wanted to join in the fun.

Not long ago, Cassel and the big dog eavesdropped behind the wall together.

Kassel was still laughing to himself, but Dagou continued to eavesdrop on the wall with doubts on his face.

"Why isn't it my turn yet! This kid won't forget me, right?" Big Dog was a little unwilling.

"Why are your eyes red!" Cassel laughed at the big dog.

The big dog turned around and found an excuse: "When I was taking a shower just now, the shampoo water fell into it!"

"Haha, why are you pretending to me, He Li's eloquence is not bad! Let's go, let's go, they are almost over!"

Cassel pushed the big dog away, pretending that he hadn't eavesdropped at all, and got into the car ahead of time to wait for He Li and the three to return.

He Li didn't know that Big Dog and Kassel were still eavesdropping.

After getting in the car, seeing the big dog sharing snacks with him, He Li thought that the big dog was rewarding him for his good performance in today's game.

"Is there something wrong with your shoulder? Do you want to rest for a few weeks?" Not only the big dog, but Kassel is also very concerned about He Li.

He Li felt that it was unnecessary to miss the game to recuperate his injuries.

Originally, it was the way of playing with wolfberries in a thermos cup. Where is the healing not the healing?

"It's nothing serious! I brought a physical therapist myself. After the treatment, I will apply the medicine on time. To be safe, I will wear an elbow brace. It should be fine!"

He Li explained to everyone.

"Don't worry, the season has just started, we have a good squad, don't stress.

During the recent period, let He Li take less responsibility and do some work with little confrontation!
When He Li recovers from his injury, he can take on more responsibilities. "

George Karl said with a smile, if He Li doesn't play, what should he do on the field? It's not a word from him!

The Bucks and his team returned to the hotel, quickly packed their luggage, and flew to Denver overnight.

The next game for the Bucks, on November 11, is an away game against the Denver Nuggets.

Although this is not back-to-back, and there is a day in between, it is still very hard for the Bucks.

Salt Lake City is high, but Denver is even higher!The Bucks encountered two devils at home in a row, that was really terrible!

In order to ensure a good rest the day before the game, the Bucks arrived in Denver one day earlier.

He Li has no opinion on this.You need to sleep at night, and you also need to sleep when you fly, so the two become one.

It's just that when he arrived at the Nuggets the next day, He Li had a sore back, backache, and leg cramps, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Confronting Ma Long is indeed not something ordinary people can bear.

And because He Li hurried on the road after the game, he didn't have time for physical therapy, and he couldn't get good maintenance for his body, so he started to protest now!

The next day, He Li only practiced for 4 hours, and spent most of the day in uncomfortable or very uncomfortable conditions.

There was also good news during the period. Nike received a notification from He Li, and in just half a day, they sent He Li an elbow brace.

The injured part of He Li's left arm was swollen, but after rubbing the safflower oil, he didn't feel too much pain.

This allowed He Li to play on the second day without being greatly affected.

But George Karl was quite worried about He Li's injury.

In this game against the Nuggets, He Li played only 21 minutes as a substitute.Of course, as a substitute, being able to play 21 minutes is quite a lot.

何力在21分钟内，9投6中，罚球3罚2中，拿下14分4篮板2助攻，表现依旧出色。

The Bucks relied on Madman Fan to make crazy shots, scored 32 points on 16 of 44 shots, and easily won the game.

There is no typo!Although Crazy Fan's shooting rate was high this time, it still had a great adverse effect on the Nuggets.

It's not the era of small balls, point guards can fire infinitely, just like point guards especially like to grab rebounds, there are problems.

Crazy Fan had already scored 30 points in the first half. The Nuggets fell behind in the second half, but wanted to organize his teammates to attack.

The other Nuggets players are as upset as they say they are.

The situation in the second half was unfavorable, so the team leader should have come to play, but the team leader stopped, maintained his health, and passed the ball.

What about the role players who have played halftime and haven't touched the ball a few times?
There is no way, but to fully interpret the CBA teammates!
After the Bucks won two consecutive away games, they continued to fly east, but this time they finally returned to Milwaukee.

On November 11, the Bucks sat at home and waited for the Boston Celtics to challenge.

Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, He Li felt that after four days of training, the injury was no longer serious, and the elbow brace could be removed.

The Celtics' starting power forward is the All-Star player who is also known as the Celtics twin star with Paul Pierce-Fat Toutuo, Antoine Walker!

Although Walker is fat, he is still a tiger.Because of lack of self-discipline and lack of body management, physical strength has always been a problem.Plays unreasonably and likes to shoot three-pointers.

A space-oriented power forward like Walker who is not strong in defense, slow in footwork, and likes to shoot is simply He Li's favorite.

"Scoring points in front of all-star power forwards, that's called scoring points!" Before the game started, He Li left the thermos in the locker room.
