NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 229 Lonely
Li Zheng is moving with a sore body. Confronting Stoudemire is not an easy task. The sense of threat Stoudemire gave him cannot be faked. Although Stoudemire and Sun have tried their best to "show the enemy weak", Li Zheng did not Did not let go of their wariness.

What Stoudemire wants to solve is not the problem between the Suns and the Trail Blazers, but the core problem of the power gap with Li Zheng.

Li Zheng is naturally willing to bless Stoudemire, hoping that he can break through himself in this round of competition. Both failure and victory can sublimate a player. Li Zheng is looking forward to more tit-for-tat games, and he also hopes that Stoudemire can become stronger.

Statistics are nothing compared to wins.

Every guy who claims to be a team will say that, but there are not many people who can really make them give up shots, give up scoring, and give up those good-looking statistics for the team. At least Li Zheng is not feeling well. Knows Sun wants to mess with his state of mind, but he just can't control his emotions.

When Li Zheng got home, he practiced crazy shots. One thousand or two thousand. Li Zheng himself forgot how many shots he made after the game. The defense of the Suns made Li Zheng touch the ball only a dozen times. Although Li Zheng scored 15 points efficiently, compared with usual times, this kind of game is not in Li Zheng's rhythm at all.

Adjust mentality. Victory comes first
Li Zheng tried hard to convince himself in his heart, but the reports on TV ignited his anger even more. The tone of the host on the show did not mean to be sarcastic, but calmly said that this was Li Zheng's lowest-scoring game in the playoffs this year. The penultimate score was the second lowest, as if the team's victory had nothing to do with Li Zheng.

Everyone in the team kept laughing. The big score of 2-0 and the big victory of more than ten points plunged the Blazers team into a sea of ​​joy. Li Zheng felt that he was kidnapped by reason and maturity. He couldn't even act unhappy. Because he has to take into account the feelings of other teammates, he can not be selfish, because he is a good player.

No one paid attention to him. Li Zheng suddenly felt that loneliness was gradually swallowing him. Taylor's phone could not be connected. He was either in the recording studio or on the way to prepare a new album. Li Zheng also forgot what sweet memories they had besides sleeping together. His life is only basketball, but now even basketball makes him feel painful.

Empty room.

Li Zhengdi turned on the light in the room, as if someone was there. He wanted to show his fragility and helplessness, but he didn't know where to start. He opened the wine cabinet rarely, and took out a bottle that he never used except for his collection. Don't touch the red wine, he stares at the red wine bottle, a good athlete should say goodbye to alcohol, say goodbye to overeating, say goodbye to women
Maybe I should take a break.
Li Zheng shook the red wine in his glass and held it up to the gorgeous chandelier as if to clink his glasses with him. God gave him all the conditions to lead to the god of basketball, and at the same time deprived him of the happiness of being an ordinary person. Li Zheng took a sip of the wine And exhausted, feeling the alcohol calm down the inner restlessness.

The road to perfection is indeed full of difficulties and obstacles. Li Zheng leaned on the sofa and drank all the red wine in silence. Tomorrow is too far away, and today he is just an ordinary person.

"Li, you are 10 minutes late today." McMillan stopped Li Zheng who was walking towards the court. He vaguely felt that Li Zheng's eyes were full of restlessness and hostility, which was not like him before.

"They arrived 10 minutes earlier." Li Zheng stretched his neck and walked to the court. McMillan stood there thoughtfully. It seems that Li Zheng's mental health problems need to be solved more than the troubles of the Suns.

Li Zheng has always been regarded as a perfect work created by God, mature, stable, mechanical, cold, killer, the most trustworthy teammate, the strongest rookie in history, and has a super giant level when he enters the league. The only thing I forget is that Li Zheng is only a 21-year-old young man.

McMillan knew that he had to solve Li Zheng's psychological problems. Li Zheng's downfall was not only a disaster for the Trail Blazers, but also a huge loss for the league and even the entire basketball world. An emotion called sense of responsibility made McMillan feel It has become extremely heavy. On the training ground, Li Zheng is violently abusing the frame. It is completely different from the usual basics of dribbling, shooting, and pass control. Today, Li Zheng is full of hostility and tyrannical emotions just like what McMillan saw. .

Spurs Popovich, you guys are really harmful
McMillan complained fiercely in his heart, but the training subjects still had to be arranged. He gathered all the players, and today's training was an intra-team competition.

McMillan assigned Li Zheng to the substitute team, and deliberately pulled out all capable substitutes. The non-main substitutes and water dispenser members plus Li Zheng faced Roy Randolph Adbreck Outlaw's main force. lineup, McMillan wanted to test how hot the anger in Lee's heart was.

Roy looked at McMillan worriedly. Li Zheng, who had just been crushed by the sun, was still suppressed by McMillan in the team training game. He asked him to lead the water dispenser team. He could already feel that Li Zheng's volcano was about to erupt, but Mike Milan insisted on this arrangement, and Li Zheng's silence made the originally joyful and lively atmosphere of the other Blazers gradually quiet down.

Li Zheng is not a difficult person to read. His emotions are often written on his face. Everyone in the Blazers knows that such an expression is usually Li Zheng's most angry appearance other than hitting someone directly. He doesn't say a word , looking at the whole world with the eyes of a lion staring at its prey.

Today is a tough day.

The Trail Blazers had this thought in their minds, and Vaughan Weaver and Tao Linglin, who were on the same team as Li Zheng, were already trembling. Li Zheng silently walked to the teeing area and signaled the game to start quickly.

Roy came to Li Zheng. Sacrifice is a virtue. Not everyone has this quality. Li Zheng is not a person who can easily accept sacrifice. What Jordan said "there is i in win, but there is no i in team". The same applies to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng's "I" is above the team. Even if Li Zheng plays as a team, no matter how many assists he gets, it will not change the essence of his playing. Li Zheng and James are the same type of players in a sense. , They are bigger than the team, they are the team's system.

The Suns were playing with fire and McMillan's arrangements made the fire even more intense. Roy felt that Lee was becoming more and more dangerous.

The Trail Blazers only played half of the training game, or only half of the game.

47:39.

It is rare in the history of the Trail Blazers that a lineup composed of pure substitutes and a starting player composed of drinking fountain players can win the main lineup. Such behavior in any team can be regarded as a feat. McMillan’s expression is not Because of Li Zheng's berserk performance, he became happy, on the contrary, the worry on his face became more intense.
