I'm king in the basket

Chapter 417 Attention everyone, Dante is here!
As soon as the team reached a verbal agreement with Dragic, Li Xing was ready to return home.

At the beginning of the month, the national team sent him a call-up notice, and now it is almost the end of July, and there is still no sign of him.

Many people suspect that Li Xing is deliberately consuming the enthusiasm of domestic fans, and he may be injured before the competition.

It's no wonder the fans think so. In their eyes, Li Xing is just a yellow-skinned American. He has no reason to play for the national team.

Even if he renounced his American citizenship, such views are still not in the minority.

On July 7, Li Xing arrived in BJ.

A large group of reporters surrounded the road, and Dante wanted to be violent, but was stopped by Li Xing.

"This is not America, take it easy."

Li Xing appeared in front of the reporter with a smile, answered a few questions and asked someone to drive him to the State Sports General Administration.

He needs to fill out a formality here, and then officially report to the national team.

With half a month left before the Olympics, Li Xing finally joined the national team.

He saw the players he scolded over and over again in his previous life.

The first is Liu Wei. Li Xing scolds him the most, but there is no doubt that he is the best defender in contemporary China.

It's hard to find someone better than him. It is said that he can't dribble past the half court, but facing the pressure of the whole court, dribbling the ball across the half court has never been a matter of one person.

Not every time Liu Wei was forced to pass the halftime, those tragedies often happened in the second half, when his physical strength was exhausted, those things would happen.

Another problem exposed by the Chinese defender's inability to dribble past the half court is that the small forward can't dribble, which is the key.

No matter which country it is, the response to the full-court press is the combination of defenders and wings.

But the Chinese team is different. The forwards of the Chinese team can’t dribble. Whoever dribbles is the grandson.

Li Xing met each of them, including Kong Yi, who was about to bid farewell to the NBA and return to the CBA to win the championship.

The coach of the national team, Deng Huade, saw Li Xing and said cheerfully: "Very good, with Laqi, we must do a big job this time."

On the same day, Li Xing joined the team's training.

Deng Huade is a typical American coach, or an American high school coach.

This is by no means pejorative, what does a high school basketball coach in America look like?
Enthusiastic and unrestrained, he can teach the players a lesson, he can pour chicken soup, and he can let the players play freely without restricting the players too much.

This is the most suitable style for the Chinese team.

You want the Chinese team to learn from the US team, that's unrealistic; you want them to learn from Europe and play as a team, don't be ridiculous, it's even more unrealistic.

Then you can only rely on the head coach to pump chicken blood, pour chicken soup, clarify goals, and do what you want.

This style of play has both advantages and disadvantages, as the saying goes, one effort, then exhaustion, and three declines.

After the fight, the team members were all frustrated, chicken blood and chicken soup didn't work.

In order to test Li Xing's ability, Deng Huade arranged a match.

Li Xing played against the main force with a group of substitutes.

The result was not unexpected. Li Xing single-handedly defeated the opponent, and by the way led the substitute to defeat the main force by a big score.

Originally, everyone still looked down upon this young man under the age of 23, but after this game, all those crooked thoughts were put away.

Those who have been teammates with Yao Ming have a strong feeling.

This person is much stronger than Yao Ming!
Li Xing didn't want to be too strong, he just joined in and played the game, trying to get to the top four.

After the match was over, he was very pessimistic.

The strength of these teammates is not good, it is really not good.

Leading them to the Olympics and aiming for the semi-finals is no less difficult than leading a CBA team to win a series in the NBA playoffs.

Li Xing had to work very hard to accomplish his goal.

As No.1 in the world, it is impossible for him to get a low result.

Back then, when Yao Ming was able to lead the Chinese team to the top eight by himself, Li Xing should go one step further.

The whole world is watching his performance.

There are still two warm-up matches before the start of the Olympics, and Li Xing will start all of them.

In the first game, he showed a dominant offense and defense. Although he only played 20 minutes, he scored a terrible 21 points and 22 rebounds.

In the second game, he showed the comprehensiveness of the NBA again.

Played 30 minutes, scored 30 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists.

You know, getting 7 assists under FIBA ​​rules is the data of a top defender.

Li Xing did it, and his assist came extremely easily.

The Chinese team won both warm-up matches and marched into the London Olympic Village with strong morale.

The Chinese team is in a very strong group.

Spain, Australia, Brazil, UK.

Li Xing remembered how the Chinese team in his previous life formulated strategies.

Deng Huade's goal is to strategically give up the three games against Spain, Russia, and Tricks, and fight Australia and the United Kingdom.

As a result, against Spain, which was the strongest in the group stage, it was actually the best game played by the Chinese team.

Kong Kongyi 30+10, and also dedicated a bottom line breakthrough that is enough to be recorded in the history of the national basketball team and smashed dunks with both hands.

The national basketball team finally lost to Spain with a gap of hope.

This battle greatly raised the expectations of the fans, so that the subsequent disastrous defeats made the fans have heartbreaking nightmares one after another.

After Li Xing joined, the confidence of the Chinese team is also different from the past.

Deng Huade's strategy is to spare no effort and go all out in every game, so that the whole world can see their new look.

Indeed, the whole world is watching the Chinese team.

They want to know what kind of changes Li Xing can bring to the Chinese team.

The first game of the group stage is here.

The state of Spain is exactly the same as in the previous life, playing very relaxed at the beginning.

Seeing this, Li Xing decided that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and led his teammates to attack fiercely.

When Spain reacted, it wanted to fight back, but it was Li Xing who was engrossed.

Li Xing can block 7 blocks per game in the NBA with [-] seconds of defense, but in FIBA ​​without [-] seconds of defense, his defensive power is hard to describe in words.

That night, when Li Xing was on the court, Spain only scored one goal at the basket.

The Gasol brothers + Ibaka, the three of them took turns to battle, and Li Xing fought three against one, completely blowing out their underpants.

In the end, the Chinese team had an upset and beat Spain by 12 points.

Li Xing scored 43 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists and 10 blocks, telling the world that the Chinese team will be different because of him.

Space Yi: Let's fight for medals in the London Olympics, don't underestimate the Chinese team!
Deng Huade: You have to know that tonight's Laci is not the strongest Laci!

Li Xing looked indifferent:
Then came the second, the group stage against Brazil.

If you play Brazil, you have to say Lithuania.

In 08, under the leadership of Jonas, the Quansheng Chinese team chose Lithuania as their opponent in the semi-finals, but they were cut by dozens of points and were unfortunately eliminated.

As for the Brazilian team, they are the more accurate, stronger and stronger Lithuanian team.

Except for Li Xing, the other points of the Chinese team were blown up.

If Spain lost Jingzhou carelessly, then Brazil should have no reason to underestimate the Chinese team.

So—"Attention everyone, Dante is coming!"

This is Li Xing's dream, every fan has had such a dream.

If I had superpowers, I'd beat this group of people on the court.

Li Xing forgot everything else at this moment. He found a sense of honor as a Chinese, and he was fighting for 13 billion compatriots.

The hope of the whole country rests with me.

Li Xing smashed Brazil's penalty area, and Nene had 4 fouls in less than half time.

Li Xing's power in the penalty area is too terrifying. His influence alone exceeds the overall advantage of the Brazilian team.

This night, Brazil was worse than Spain.

Li Xing played the whole game, and they scored 0 points in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

You can't win games when you can't score in the box.

No matter how accurate Brazil's shooting is, when the Chinese team knows they can't score in the penalty area, they just need to stick to their three-pointers.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Brazil by 5 points, which was another upset.

Li Xing scored 51 points, 30 rebounds, 7 assists and 16 blocks.

"Wilt Chamberlain is alive again?"

"My God, this guy is an alien!"

"The weak Chinese team forced Laci Lee to go all out!"

After defeating Brazil, Li Xing raised his head and saw the five-star red flag above his head.

He didn't know what he was fighting for. When he stepped on the field in this red jersey, he just wanted to win.

He thought he had gotten rid of his previous self, but in fact, he was just trying to escape.

Am I Li Xing, or Laqi Li?

"All."

"No, we have to distinguish clearly, am I Li Xing, or Laqi Li?"

"All."

The system would not give him an answer, and all the teammates around him rushed forward.

Without Li Xing, they would have ended in disastrous defeats in these two games.

Li Xing enjoyed the worship he deserved.

Then, he walked out of the arena, where a large group of Chinese reporters gathered.

"Larch, how are you feeling?"

"Don't call me Laqi, I gave myself a Chinese name."

"Call me Li Xing."

This is the first time Li Xing introduced his name after traveling through time.

"Li Lixing, you played the most dominant performance in Olympic history tonight. How did you do it?"

Li Xing regained his previous spirit, smiled and said: "I always thought this was just a game, but when I wore the Chinese team jersey and watched the five-star red flag rise from my head, I knew it was not just a game. It's a game, it's a war."

"In peaceful times, competitive sports is war, and the country's honor and disgrace depend on us. We can only do our best."

Li Xing doesn't know if this is his sincere words, he only knows that these words can make him capture a large number of Chinese fans.

As long as he continues to perform like this, his popularity and influence in China will soon surpass all sports stars, and by then, his goal will be achieved.

Am I really here for this?

At the end of the press conference, Li Xing bowed his head in meditation.
