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

Chapter 85 Business Value

"What does it mean to you to get 20+ in your No. 40 regular season games?"

"It means that I got a 40+ game..." Li Chengming said he laughed first, and then said: "It really means a lot, U know, I was not ranked high in the draft, and even after I was selected A lot of people questioned it, but I proved that Mr. Smith and Coach Van Gundy were not wrong in their choice."

"Some people say your No. 60 jersey is because you hope to motivate yourself and beat the 59 rookies ahead of you. So far, do you think you have done it?"

Li Chengming thought for a while and said: "It is the team that chose them, and it is not their problem that they are ranked ahead of me. I have no conflicts or personal grievances with any players. This is just a means for me to motivate myself."

"..."

Then there are some cliché questions, and the reporters also feel a little helpless.

It's not that they don't want to make trouble, it's just that it needs the cooperation of Li Chengming. Who knew that such an outlier would appear among NBA players with strong limbs and simple mind.

Although most of them will be trained by the team and know what topics to say and what not to say, but Li Chengming is not a question of whether to say or not, but he can reflect the loopholes by himself without the press officer reminding him, and he will give it to him. Make up for it yourself.

Although sometimes it may not be possible to make up for it, but the way he is working hard, I have to say that he is quite hardworking.

……

The aftermath of this game, the press conference is just the beginning.

At this time, both China and the United States have discussions about Li Chengming on basketball-related TV programs and online forums. Whether it is those who like him, those who hate him, or those who have never heard of him, they all join in this discussion. In a lively carnival.

Even in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe, many people began to discuss Li Chengming, and his influence really began to go beyond those two countries.

In other words, he started to get out of the circle.

The most excited, of course, are the domestic fans. After all, many people regard him as one of their own. The touch and excitement of being a compatriot is undoubtedly at a higher level at this time.

"Fat brother, awesome!"

"WC, you told me this is the last pick in the draft? This shouldn't be the top pick!"

"The No. [-] pick is really not good, not to mention Durant, Oden is very strong, it's just that he was injured."

"Injury is a part of it. If you are injured, it means you are fragile. How can it be said that the players lying on the hospital bed are better than the players playing on the field?"

"I think Durant is still stronger, but it's not stable now, and the upper limit is much higher than Li Chengming."

"Classic, blow it up when you meet foreigners, our compatriots just can't compare this to that."

"Don't compare in the future, just compare now. It's not that Fat Brother has never played against that Durant. In both games, Fat Brother performed better. Is there any need for comparison? My most annoying thing Even if you are better than him now and he is better than you in the future, how can you be sure that Li Chengming must be worse than him in the future?

"And regardless of the future, Fat Brother is the best one right now. I support Fat Brother to win the best rookie."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of Dayao and Stoudemire. The two seem to be close to each other. I think Yao has a lot of hope, but the NBA still gave the best rookie to Stoudemire."

"The Americans must be flattering their own people. I am here in the United States. There is very little publicity about Li Chengming. When the media talks about rookies, Durant's name is usually at the top, and not many people agree. Those who watched the game and looked at the data estimated that Durant is better than Li Chengming now.

"The last time Li Chengming scored 30+, my friend was surprised and asked me if this is a player from our country. He said that he had never heard of it before. We are in Georgia, which is a little north of Florida. We can only say Media promotion is too important.

"After this game, the media will definitely not be able to ignore Li Chengming anymore, and they also want traffic. Now that Li Chengming's topic has a lot of traffic, they must go for this. It is estimated that Li Chengming will pay more attention in the future. I hope He can perform better and better like Dayao."

"Hey, in fact, Li Chengming's shortcomings are still very obvious. His defense is too poor. He can't stand up to someone with outside shooting or speed. The gap between offense and defense is too big."

"Hehe, classic! It's as if Durant's defense is very good. At least Li Chengming is still conscious. I have watched Durant's game. He is simply a colander."

"You are messing around, the colander is not enough, but I do think that Li Chengming's defensive awareness is better than Durant's, and his experience is better. And it is said that Li Chengming is afraid of speed and shooting guards, and Durant is actually the same Yes, after all he is so tall, his movement will definitely be affected, and he doesn't have that awareness.

"However, both of them still have a lot of room for improvement in the future. Durant can still improve. I think Li Chengming mainly needs to lose weight. If he can reduce to about 250 catties, it will be perfect."

"Li Chengming has lost a lot of weight. I think it can be seen on TV. He is much thinner than before."

"By the way, Li Chengming is now being compared with Durant, what about Ah Lian?"

"Don't compare it with Fang Yi, I don't want to humiliate him."

"A Lian is not that bad. His adaptation is a bit slow, but I feel that he is still getting better, but it is really not comparable to these two. In other words, among the rookies in this class, apart from the Olympian who doesn't know what's going on. Deng, everyone else is not on their level, these are two monsters."

"That's right, just look at the current scoring list of rookies. These two are not on the same level as others. If it weren't for Li Chengming, there is really no suspense for Durant to be the best rookie."

"Yes, I think if Ah Lian learns more from Li Chengming, there is still hope in the future. He is not bad, but now I feel that his talent is very slow to realize. I don't know why."

"I think it's an IQ problem. It's not intentional, but I feel that Ah Lian's adaptability and learning ability are not as good as Li Chengming. You see, after playing so many games, Li Chengming doesn't play as much as him. But as long as he plays as soon as he plays, his efficiency is still very high.

"Turns and fouls are better controlled than him. Sometimes I still suffer because the rookie has no whistle. I followed the game and felt that there were very few games where Li Chengming's performance could be considered poor. Just two or three games, this fat man So fucking stable."

"For a while, I don't know if you are praising or scolding?"

"..."

The impact of this game is great. The most intuitive thing is that Li Chengming's account has suddenly increased tens of thousands of new followers, which is enough to show that Li Chengming's popularity in the United States has directly increased.

The previous dunking of James was actually just a moment of enthusiasm. Everyone watched the excitement and then it was over. That is to say, they liked to watch the plot of an unknown soldier defeating "Goliath".

Except for the continuation of the TNT inside story, there was no follow-up.

Of course, this also made Li Chengming familiar with American fans.

And although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, but the records were laid out one by one, and even the ball blind could see the weight of them.

What American fans like most is this kind of plot similar to a lonely hero, and the media also likes to make up this kind of story, so there is no doubt that Howard and Lewis, who performed well, were directly ignored, and became teammates digging Li Chengming Filling the hole story.

Of course, in terms of the content of the game, it doesn't seem too much, because Li Chengming's plus-minus value reached a maximum of 18, and the Magic only won by 4 points in total.

In fact, there is another point that is more intuitive, that is, the commercial endorsement intentions received by Li's father are all over the desk.
