I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 65 The Strongest Chicken Soup Master for the Soul—Li Huyou
At halftime, the Lakers led by a full 22 points, and the game seemed to have lost its suspense.

During the intermission, all the players on the Lakers bench stared wide-eyed, looking at the young rookie Miha standing in front of them, what was going on.

Miha said politely to everyone: "Big brothers, my younger brother is being polite. I have an immature suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Miha, don't do this to me, I don't know you yet, so what can I say!" The team boss Hart waved his hand and scolded with a smile.

"Although we lead by a full 22 points, we still have to maintain our intensity in the second half. Don't underestimate Li Yang. I have seen his trial performance and clearly know how terrifying this guy is when he breaks out."

"Miha, are you a bit overestimating Yang? This guy is only the No. 13 pick. He didn't play much in the first half. He is probably a parallel importer, not worth mentioning." Jonathan Williams, the starting center of the Lakers, said disdainfully.

"Well, he is a three-point shooter. We only need to guard against his three-pointers. The others don't seem to be that good. You don't need to make a fuss." The boss Hart still looked calm and in control of the overall situation.

"Haha! In any case, tonight's victory must belong to us. We are the Los Angeles Lakers, a championship team aiming to defend the title." Alex Caruso shouted proudly.

A large part of the Lakers are undrafted this year, so the summer league champions are actually very rare.

Although Miha patted his chest and assured these teammates about Li Yang's amazing scoring explosiveness, these veteran players didn't care, as if they didn't care.

Having seen NBA superstars, they don't think that rookie Li Yang can lead the team to comeback alone.

Seeing this heart-wrenching scene, Miha could only shake his head helplessly. He only hoped that Li Yang would not explode in the second half.

On the Clippers' bench, the atmosphere was very heavy at this time, and everyone was silent, or lowered their heads and sighed.

Because of winning two consecutive games before, many players here are a little bit smug, and they think that their strength has already entered the room.

As a result, as soon as they met the strong Lakers, they were immediately confused by their opponents at the beginning of the game. The entire team had no confidence and no fighting spirit.

This is Natalie's first time leading a team to compete in the summer league. This summer league is also a test for her from the top management, but at this time, she trusts and directly entrusts the appeasement work to Li Yang. I have to say that she is very courageous.

Looking at the Clippers bench, everyone sat on the chair with their heads down, completely unable to see any momentum to counterattack.

Li Yang stood up and walked across to his teammates. He clapped his hands vigorously, motioning for everyone to pay attention.

After countless exchanges on and off the field during this period, almost everyone recognized Li Yang's strength from the bottom of their hearts, and most of the eyes that were originally jealous have now turned into envious eyes.

Everyone's opinion changed from "why is he the No. 13 pick" to "he really deserves to be the No. 13 pick"! !

Li Yang's style of play doesn't take up a lot of ball possessions, and it's also a great offensive end point. He helped many people here get a lot of assists. Even as this year's closing show, Li Yang didn't put on a superior attitude. As long as someone is willing to chat with him, he will chat with others, and even talk nonsense.

Now Li Yang has conquered this team to a large extent, he is already the absolute core of this temporary team.

"I know you all want to go to the NBA and get a guaranteed contract."

"I also know that some of you may have given up on the NBA and moved to the European League, CBA, NBL and other places!"

"But I always feel that we shouldn't give up this game so early!"

After saying these few words, Li Yang could see the disdain in some people's eyes.

Although they recognized Li Yang's strength, they didn't think that an 18-year-old kid was qualified to teach them the importance of winning.

"Yang, not everyone is a genius like you. We are not children. If you want to talk about these big truths, please forgive us. We all understand, but we have to live." The dark and hard Delgado said.

Delgado said what a lot of people were thinking. In the first half, Delgado didn't pass the ball to Li Yang very much. He thought he wanted to score, to prove himself, to show himself. As a result, his brain got hot and he made many wrong offensive choices.

Li Yang looked at Delgado and said patiently: "Angel, I didn't expect you to have such an idea, but this may be the gap between us, and this is why I am the No. 13 pick, but you can only play in overseas leagues in despair."

"Our desire to win is different. I was worse than you two months ago, and I had the same opportunities. I was also a substitute. At that time, I knew very well that if I didn't show myself, I would lose my chance to enter the NBA."

"For this reason, I fought desperately, and I succeeded. My current pick is the best proof of my hard work."

"If I give up lightly like you, I believe I will lose the same. Ask yourself, do you think you really want to win every game? Are you worthy of the NBA team offering a guaranteed contract for you, who is mediocre in nature?"

"If you can only complain, give up easily, and have no talent, then why do you get the favor of the major NBA teams? Is it based on your appearance? Pooh?"

"NBA is a business league through and through. There is no human feeling here. They only value their own value. If you can't win and don't play at a dominant level, what do they want from you?"

What Li Yang said was very realistic and even a bit bloody, but the NBA is such a cruel arena, his words were aimed at Delgado on the surface, but they were actually meant for everyone to hear.

Li Yang's words were like enlightenment, and everyone present was awakened. Everyone's eyes widened. Until now, they couldn't believe that such shocking words came from the mouth of a 19-year-old boy?
Delgado suddenly felt very ashamed, thinking to himself that he had lived for so many years, did he all live on dogs?

Indeed, why?

If they can't win all the time and play brilliantly, why would NBA teams want them.

The coach Natalie smiled and looked at Li Yang with relief. He wanted to see what Li Yang would do next.

There are always some talents who can show that they are different from other players in their rookie period, whether it is on or off the court, maybe this is a natural leader!
Seeing that the numb teammates finally began to feel a little loose, Li Yang continued: "Do you remember how we won the game a few days ago? Isn't the feeling of winning in three quarters very comfortable?"

"Every one of you knows me very well, and I am also very familiar with your personal style. We only need to play according to the tactics arranged by the coach, and we will have a chance to reverse."

"But if everyone thinks about themselves, their stats, their contracts, then we don't have any chance of winning, even the slightest, and the cooperation between us ends here.

I continue to go back to the Clippers to get my fixed guarantee contract, and you continue to look for opportunities elsewhere. Maybe you will encounter such moments in the future, and then face failure again! ! "

"Grant, your advantage in the basket and pick-and-roll is obviously very good..."

"Rod, what about your three-pointer and breakthrough?"

"Angel, we need your rebound!!!"

……

Li Yang knew every teammate very well, and directly talked about the tactics and play they should run in the second half!

Such a sincere speech made these people instinctively admire and obey Li Yang.

It turned out that Li Yang also remembered their names.

"If we make a comeback in this game, I think the media will pay more attention to you. Maybe other NBA teams will pay attention to you besides the Clippers. You need to use this game to show yourself as much as possible."

"This is also an opportunity for us, it depends on whether you have confidence!!"

Li Yang's words were extremely provocative and easily resonated with these people.

"Yang is right, we shouldn't give up so early, we still have a chance!" Delgado next to him shouted excitedly.

He was the first to question Li Yang, but he was also the first to be conquered by Li Yang with words.

"Fuck, guys! Fuck you!!"

"Oulixette, when did I ever persuade you!"

"Yes, set him up for me!!" Almost everyone roared.
