I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 152 The provocation from the two health champions

Time passed quietly in the boring training, without even leaving the slightest trace, no, everyone's muscles became thick and hard visible to the naked eye.

Two days before the start of the preseason, Li Yang chose his jersey number for the new season, or his jersey number for the Asian Games, probably because he already has deep feelings for this number.

Li Yang's jersey number for the new season is No. 13. Rivers once asked him if he wanted to change to No. 23 or 24. This proposal was immediately rejected by Li Yang.

To put it bluntly, the number is blown out. If wearing the number 23 can really make Michael Jordan, then everyone should wear the number 23.

James wore No. 23, and he didn't see his skills approaching the god of basketball.

James' shooting is much worse than Jordan's. It's not that James' shooting is not good, but compared to the great god Jordan, he is much worse.

James does not have the shooting ability to seal the throat with a sword at critical moments, but Jordan has this ability, so Jordan is a bug.

But James still relies on his own strength and Wang Babu to overwhelm the pack! ! !

However, Li Yang also heard that Paul George still wears the No. 13 jersey in the Thunder this season. It may be purely a coincidence, or it may be God's will.

In the 19-20 season of the previous life, Paul George joined the Clippers with Leonard during the offseason.

But Li Yang is not cowardly, and now there is no need to quietly grow up, even if it comes, it will only be the younger brother's life.

As for Paul George also wearing the No. 13 jersey, the jerseys of the two collided, so it can be compared.

There is a saying: collision is not terrible, whoever is worse is embarrassed! ! !
Moreover, Li Yang himself has selfish intentions. Since he was selected with the 13th pick, he obeyed the destiny and used No. 13 as his jersey number.

Just imagine, after you become a superstar one day in the future, then this number will definitely be conferred as a god.

Think about it, in the future everyone will not wear No. 23 and No. 24 jerseys, but instead wear No. 13 jerseys, how exciting it will be, and Li Yang's own face will have more face! ! !
……

September 9. The 29-2018 season NBA preseason game officially started.

In the past few game days, there was no Clippers game. One can imagine how embarrassing the Clippers were in last season!

On October 10, the Los Angeles Clippers finally ushered in their first NBA opponent in the preseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Because of the former wolf king Kevin Garnett, Li Yang is quite familiar with the history of this team.

Ever since Garnett left for Boston and formed the Big Three with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, the tough Timberwolves suddenly turned into a silly and cute husky.

The Timberwolves had a record of 2003 wins and 2004 losses in the 58-24 season, ranking first in the Western Conference, but since then they have fallen off a cliff and missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years.

Until last season, the Timberwolves actually relied entirely on Butler to play with injuries at the last moment, and barely eliminated the Nuggets and squeezed into the playoffs.

Now even though the team has young talents such as Rose, Wiggins, Towns, Teague, etc., and Thibodeau will still be the coach of the Timberwolves in the new season, but because of Butler's clamor to leave.

If the "Iron Man" Butler is missing from the lineup, the probability of injury to other players will also be greatly increased. Once the double champion is injured, then the Timberwolves can really choose to play badly!
At present, Wiggins and Towns are both playing healthy basketball. They are young and full of talent, but they are lax in defense on the court. Even in the eyes of Chinese fans, they fall in love with wolfberries and thermos cups.

But Butler was a little disappointed. Since this summer, the media has been breaking the news that Butler hopes to be traded.

The farce between Butler and the Timberwolves has become public a few days ago. Since the Timberwolves offered Towns a maximum salary contract, Butler not only rejected the Timberwolves' offer, but also made it clear that he would not renew his contract with the team.

With the core group composed of Butler, Wiggins and Towns, it is said that the Big Three of the Timberwolves are about to disintegrate.

However, the two No. [-] picks who have received big contracts are full of confidence. From the day the team met with the media, they vowed to clamor for a big effort in the new season.

An interesting scene happened in the locker room before the game.

Li Yang shouted loudly towards the bathroom: "Saipan~~, come out quickly!" Suddenly there was the sound of flushing the toilet in the bathroom, and a black man with thick hair slowly poked his head out.

"Boss, why are you yelling so loudly? Urge, haven't you started yet?"

The well-dressed Li Yang said meanly: "Are you constipated? Or constipated!!"

"Hmm~." Alexander's face was dark, um, it's not dark and he couldn't tell, and he washed his hands depressed.

"It's really strange that Tangtang, who claims to be the No. [-] leader of the Clippers in the future, would be so nervous that he would be constipated before the game!" Li Yang mocked mercilessly.

Alexander grabbed a handful of wilting hair, "Boss, this is my first time as a substitute, so I will inevitably feel uncomfortable and nervous, unlike you who are familiar with the road, but in the end you played the starter and ruthlessly abandoned me. The old driver didn't know how to take care of me."

Li Yang, who was about to mock Alexander, subconsciously prepared to fight back, but when he saw Alexander's resentful little eyes from the mirror, he was speechless for a moment.

Alexander's resentful words made Li Yang get goosebumps, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him. He used to think that this guy's smile was very simple and honest, but now he looked indescribably cunning.

Sure enough, the person who knows you best hates you the most! ! !
During the pre-match interviews, media reporters who are good at making news gimmicks interviewed the Timberwolves' two health champions.

"Hey Andrew, who do you think the Clippers will play against you today?"

"Who, with my strength, is there anyone else who can make me sweat?" Wiggins asked curiously.

"Tch, who else could it be! Could it be Ivica Zubac? I'm sorry, I beat him with one hand two years ago!"

Downs suddenly picked up the topic, smiled disdainfully, and calmly pretended to be silent and stuffy.

Seeing the two brothers entering the pit obediently, the reporter immediately asked: "Oh, no, it's Li Yang, a talented defender from China. This year's No. 13 rookie, Andrew, are you ready to be challenged by him?"

After hearing this, Wiggins was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Downs, and saw that the other party also spread his hands, with an expression of ignorance.

He said quickly and indifferently: "Li Yang? Is it amazing? Why haven't I heard of it! A defender from Huaxia? Hey, unfortunately, I only know that Huaxia's goji berry tea is good."

Last season, Wiggins played 82 regular season games on behalf of the Timberwolves, averaging 36.4 minutes per game, averaging 17.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, completely entering the maintenance mode.

Many media are questioning him. It seems that he has not exchanged talent, but has been regressing.

Someone asked, can Wiggins reach 50 points?I don't know about [-] points, but it must be very possible that he is still playing at the age of [-].

Because for Wiggins, he will never dunk if he can layup. There are a lot of goji berries in his thermos, which is an absolute health mamba.

The naughty reporter immediately turned his gun and pointed the camera directly at Downs.

"Li Yang? That rookie who has never played in a professional league? I don't mean to disrespect the Clippers, but I still want to say that they made an extremely bad decision."

"You ask me, what challenges will he bring us? To be honest, I don't think a Chinese player can bring us any challenges."

"We have talented Andrew and Derek. They will teach that rookie how cruel the NBA is. Not everyone deserves to have a basketball dream. The NBA is not something that can be messed around with!"

Towns, who was born as the No. [-] pick in the draft, seems to be very uncomfortable with this kind of player who relies on media hype.

When the instigating reporter relayed the words of the Timberwolves' two kings to Li Yang with embellishments, they asked Li Yang what he thought.

There was no turmoil in his heart, let alone an angry rage, but a humorous joke with a smile.

Ha ha.

What else can I see?Sitting and watching, squatting and watching, lying down and watching...

Li Yang sneered, and replied coldly: "Funny, mud, go pee!"

"What does this mean? Yang, can you explain?" The reporter showed a puzzled and confused expression, trying to find out, and wanted Li Yang to explain.

"Are there any questions? If not, I'll warm up!!" After speaking, Li Yang ignored the reporter who was about to ask questions, brought his own BGM "One Cut Plum", turned around and walked away arrogantly, his pace was so domineering! !
"I'll make them pay for their contempt, from Timberwolves to Teddy!"

The gimmick didn't cause much of a stir.

The Timberwolves are a small-city team that has seen little attention since Kevin Garnett left.

Even when the two of them formed the Big Three with Butler, they didn't get enough exposure.

Now it's just a preseason game, so there isn't much attention in itself, and Li Yang is just a rookie with an average reputation, so not many people are paying attention.

The spotlight of the media will always focus on superstars like James, Curry, and Antetokounmpo.

Or gather on popular rookies such as Ayton, Doncic, and Tre Young.

Therefore, the rhetoric of the two health-care champions caused a little splash, and then disappeared into the vast sea.
