Chapter 25 The Crab Step Born Early
Another reason why the heat of the summer league was so high was that in James' last game against the Nuggets, he took a few steps like a crab at the last moment to push Anthony to the basket to complete a layup lore, and the referee didn't even blow it once while he was walking.

This made Anthony so angry that he almost broke the defense. If he hadn't been dragged by his teammates, he would have really gone to the referee. However, the hot-tempered Melon still got a ticket from the league.Five thousand dollars as a punishment.

Anthony was rare and efficient in that game. He scored 20 points and 12 rebounds in 28 of 6, while James on the opposite side had a comprehensive data of 30 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds. His last layup allowed the final score to surpass Anthony and took away the victory.

This incident has been turmoiled. As a bystander, Li Qi saw more things. This may be a way for Nike to deal with Melon. When Melon chose to go to college instead of participating in the draft, Nike offered him a 6-year contract of 1800 million dollars, which was rejected by Melo. This year, he was selected by the Nuggets with the third overall pick this year.

Melon successfully became the first spokesperson of the Jordan brand. Although the brand is a sub-brand of Nike, it still made the sports giant who plays an important role in the NBA feel contempt. Therefore, James’ crabbed step was released early, and Li Qi was not surprised. After all, Nike can do something later to make a certain role player elected FMVP. 35.8 rebounds, shooting 13.3% and 8.8 from the field. The reason why the shooting rate is not high is because he averaged 1.3 minutes per game.That's right, it's you Iguodala.

And Iguodala is only 16, 3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists. Curry is 26.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. The hit rate is only 40.00% 50.00, such a role player, just because the opponent is a player under Nike, he was praised as the FMVP.

So compared to this, it’s really not a big deal for James’ crab walk to come out in advance. It’s good to rest against a big tree to enjoy the shade. If James’ sneaker brand is not Nike but Adidas, look again, and his public opinion will be even more crazy.

Anthony lost the game and was very depressed. He came to the Blazers' hotel and met Li Qi, mainly because of bitterness.

"Rich, I have been playing basketball for a long time, but I have never seen a layup like LeBron. He is like a running back in the NFL. He ran for a long time with the ball in his arms before he dribbled for a layup. I am really convinced. You can beat him twice in a row in high school, but now it is different in the NBA."

Brother Gua was a little discouraged. Originally, he wanted to meet up with Li Qi in the final and then take revenge, but he didn't expect that everything would be destroyed by James' weird layup.

Li Qi brought Anthony a glass of water, "Don't be angry with Melo, it's just a summer league game. You forgot that LeBron was a running back before he played basketball. Since the referee didn't blow it, it means that his action has been recognized by the league. It's useless for you to struggle any more. Why don't you think about how to deal with him in the new season."

Anthony took the water and didn't drink it, but put it aside, "Don't you have beer here? I really don't want to drink this water."

Li Qi waved his hand, "There is no wine, besides water, do you have any fruit juice here?"

Li Qi doesn't like training, but he doesn't like alcohol either, because he is allergic to alcohol, so he rarely drinks.

Anthony went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of Fanta and drank it, and then left after rambling for a long time.

Li Qi didn't stay in the hotel, but was called by Mark D'Antoni to train. He still valued the summer showdown with the Cavaliers.

Portland's No. [-] position is a big hole, with a few short contracts, and the undrafted picks are not easy to play against James in this position.

"Rich, you can go to the small forward and let Steve go to the first position."

Mark D'Antoni understands that James, who sacrificed a crabbed step in the last game, is simply not something that Portland's contract workers can defend at this stage.

Li Qi has no opinion. Wouldn't it be better to reflect his own value by going to the third position and James?

But why the system's reward for participating in the draft in high school is still not distributed? Li Qi is very curious about that reward, after all, it is a task that is difficult in hell.

The Summer Finals will be held at the Jazz's home court, the Delta Center. In a few years, the name of this arena will become the Energy Solutions Center.

The game was broadcast live by ABC, and the commentators invited were Bill Simmons and the American Yang Yi Stephen Smith who was just mixing in the circle.

Before the start of the summer league, the two men discussed the Trail Blazers lineup, but the former was pessimistic, but he was not as explicit as Adrian Wonovsky, while American Yangyang's point of view was the opposite of him, the latter was very optimistic about the Trail Blazers. ABC's purpose of inviting these two people to come has also been achieved.

Bill Simmons is from Boston, the most racially discriminatory area in the United States, while Mei Yang is from New York, so it is not difficult to understand that their views are contradictory.

Half an hour before the game started, players from both sides began to enter the court. The Cavaliers lineup was very good. The first position was an ordinary black man, the second position was Jason Kapono, the third position was James, the fourth position was the undrafted Salt Lake City graduate Britton Johnson, and the center was the 99 second-round pick Gerani McCoy.

Li Qi, the assistant coach of the Cavaliers, knows that he is Deng Huade who has led the Chinese men's basketball team in the historical space.

"I admit that Rich adapted to the NBA faster than LeBron, but from the lore in the last game, we can see LeBron's determination to himself, so in this game, I don't think Portland will take the victory."

Bill Simmons' words are full of a strong sense of superiority, similar to most of the Boston Cavaliers.Although Steve Smith is not as famous as the other party, he has always dared to say anything.

"The lore in the last game? Was that a lore? It was obviously a mistake." As the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks of the top Zhan Hei and Skip Bayless beauty Yu, the beautiful Yangyang has already walked in front of the beauty Yu, and that crab step is the fuse.
