After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 18
Noah was born in a sports family, but he hadn't achieved much before, and he didn't start to emerge until his sophomore year.

As an "older" rookie who participated in the NBA draft after his junior year, the 22-year-old Noah's selling point this year is his mature and stable defense. Pick him with the No. [-] pick, after all, his physical condition and consciousness are very good.

The Bulls have been tepid for the past ten years since Jordan retired. Even if they were lucky enough to make the playoffs, they failed to break through the second round (last year).

The upper limit of players like Ben Gordon and Hinrich is there. They can only choose to continue to find and train rookies, and look forward to waiting for the next "Jordan".

The 33-year-old Ben Wallace is already old, and he will gradually step down even if he does not trade in the future. The team also needs a new center forward. Noah is the second choice in the small green house after Oden and Horford.

But in the face of Li Chengming, Noah's "thin" figure is as soft as noodles.

Because he missed the opportunity to teach Stanko Ballack a lesson before, Li Chengming seemed very excited this time. Gray was on the bench and Curry was the shooting guard. Only Noah was more suitable, so he was unlucky.

Li Chengming took the initiative to ask to play the center position. In fact, this is the position he is most familiar with in college. After all, he is also the tallest big man in the school. His height is not a disadvantage, and he is more like a wild beast under the basket. .

After returning to his familiar position in this game, Li Chengming finally showed his ferociousness. As long as there is no interference from the help defense when he gets stuck to the ball, he will directly run Noah into the basket.

The height gap of 10cm seems to be completely non-existent. Noah was so crowded by him that he couldn't jump at all. Afterwards, it all depends on his mood whether it's hooks, throws, dressing up, or dunks.

After all, after a few games, although he would not study it specifically, the Bulls sideline coach must have heard of Li Chengming, and knew that there was such a terrifying Huaguo rookie in the summer league.

But hearing about it and actually facing it are two different things. In 3 minutes, Li Chengming hit Noah five times in a row. Every time he succeeded, he was almost turned into a cash machine.

In order to prevent Noah from being blown up and losing confidence directly, he had to make defensive adjustments, but it can also be seen that Noah was taught a bad lesson, which still has a great impact on his confidence. I am afraid that the shadow will continue until the new season .

If we meet Li Chengming again in the regular season...

OK!
But switching to other people also couldn't stand Li Chengming until he came off the bench.

Aaron Gray, who is 213 cm tall and weighs 123 kg, is the strongest opponent Li Chengming has encountered in this period of time. Not to mention that this guy is very effective in defending Li Chengming, at least for the first time since Li Chengming has been a little bit Feeling deflated.

Gray's running and jumping is average, and he also relies on strength and confrontation to make ends meet in the low position, which coincides with Li Chengming's advantage.

As for Li Chengming's floor-flow style of play, it is still a bit difficult to meet an opponent of this height who can completely cover him, even if he has the advantage in strength, because it is too difficult to avoid blocking shots.

But Li Chengming is not only one kind of offensive method, nor is he the kind of stupid person who has to fight with you if you are strong.

Gray's bulky body is just suitable for him to show his flexibility. He doesn't even need to confront him head-on. He just pulls into the paint area. Gray, who can only guard the low post, is a little bit blind, because when he pulls out, the inside line is directly empty. The back garden of the rest of the Magic.

But if it doesn't come out, Li Chengming's "iron-blooded jumper" is not in vain. His roar makes the ceiling of the arena seem to be shaking.

However, the audience on the sidelines liked it very much. Even the shots made people inexplicably excited.

It's like that sentence: "I feel a fire in my body, it's about to explode!"

beep, beep, beep...

"Beep!"

Li Chengming, who scored 8 points on 6-of-14 shooting, was sweating profusely when he was replaced. Although the low-post confrontation was very refreshing, it also consumed more energy. He still felt very out of breath while sitting on the bench.

He even suspected that without the system, he might be able to lose a lot of weight if he played more games like this.

However, light exercise is really not good for losing weight, and it is more likely to just turn fat into muscle.

So the system is still so good, it consumes heat directly, and then discharges it in the form of impurities.

The question is will it increase?
After all, Li Chengming couldn't control his mouth...

At this moment, the teaching assistant gave him a bottle of energy drink from the side, and then said with a smile: "Li, you also performed very well today, it's up to you to win!"

Redick, who was replaced next to him, couldn't help laughing: "Coach, I'm still here."

"Hahaha, then I will avoid you next time."

Everyone on the bench laughed, and there was a happy atmosphere.

The relationship between Li Chengming, the assistant coach and Redick is much closer now, and they can make jokes from time to time. This is the treatment that only convinces them with their performance.

Like that Du Keze, because he didn't deal with Li Chengming in the first game, he has now become a water fountain keeper, and he will definitely have to continue wandering after the end of the Summer League.

After five or six minutes of rest, Li Chengming was replaced on the field again, and Noah also returned to the field. When he saw him coming over, his body was alert, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and shouted: "Don't come over!"

The good thing about Li Chengming playing inside today is that he is less likely to be targeted by opponents. This is because the Magic have played these few games, and there is a tacit understanding among the players. The assistant coaches also began to arrange defensive rotations, emphasizing the importance of filling. importance.

Especially when Augustine and Li Chengming partnered inside, the effect is actually better than Gortat, because Augustine is more mobile and can switch defenses faster.

Secondly, the Bulls' inside offense is really not very good. Aaron Gray actually has two hands in the low post, but he can restrain Li Chengming, and of course Li Chengming can restrain him in turn.

As long as he's pushed out low, he's basically a piece of crap on the offensive end, except as a pick-and-roll.

As for Noah, let alone, he is now a blue-collar play style, not skilled in back and body, and the front frame is just looking for a cap.

As a point guard, Curry shoots quite accurately, but his style of play is on the outside. His three-point ability is good, but his breakthrough is relatively average. The Bulls' lineup does not pose a great threat to outside breakthroughs, which makes Li Chengming a lot easier.

In the end, he scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, a new high for the Summer League. He also had a block and two steals. He performed comprehensively and won the MVP of the game.

And one day later, the national team's third Summer League game also started. Since the Magic officially announced that Li Chengming would not play again, his Summer League career ended. He averaged 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6.5 assists in the first four games. .

This data is enough for him to get the Summer League for a while, but Durant may miss it because of too few appearances.

In addition, Redick, Gortat and Augustin in the Magic performed well. The Magic have won all five games so far, and at least they can book two teams.

Under such circumstances, domestic fans naturally pay more attention to the men's basketball team, especially Kong Tianyi and Sun Dasheng's performance in the summer league, hoping that they can also make a comeback.

Their opponent in this game is the Cavaliers, the team has second-year students Shannon Brown and Daniel Gibson and PJ Tucker.

The Cavaliers are the champions of the Eastern Conference this year. The Spurs just swept the finals in June with ease in four straight games. After the game, Duncan left his own words to the Cavaliers star: "The future is yours!"

The future must belong to young people, so Shannon Brown of the Cavaliers scored 26 points and Gibson contributed 14 points to help the team win this scorching battle.
