Comparing people with each other makes people angry
After three consecutive victories, the Magic have become the only undefeated team in the Orlando Summer League. The Bulls and Pacers have also lost against the two teams they haven't faced yet.
At this time, the second summer league game for the men's basketball team also arrived. This time their opponent was Liu Wei's "old club" - Liu Wei had played in the preseason for the Kings after the Athens Olympics.
Yao's confrontational gimmick is pretty good.
But this time Liu Wei was standing as his opponent, and Dayao was not on the field.
This game also has a certain meaning for Kong Yi, because the opponent is Spencer Hawes, the No. 10 pick in the same class.
He has been under a lot of pressure these days, even more than Sun Dasheng. Why?
Isn’t it because of Li Chengming’s sudden emergence?
In the first game, it may be that the opponent did not pay attention to it, or that bad luck broke out, but in the next two games, although the Magic's on-field coach protected him and began to control his playing time, within the limited time, he still
Got a satisfactory answer.
He averaged 23 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60%, which is extremely efficient.
Now he has become the core of the Magic team in Summer League. Together with Redick, another member of the team who also averaged 20 per game, he has become the most dazzling star in Orlando Summer League - Durant also played two games, averaging 20 per game.
With 25 points, all three of them are popular candidates for the Summer League first team.
Then the domestic media went crazy, constantly forwarding and spreading news related to Li Chengming, and even started to discuss that person during the national team's training.
Kong Kongyi is not very good at expressing his emotions, but that doesn't mean he has no emotions. Sun Dasheng may think it doesn't matter, because he can act badly, but Kong Kongyi can't.
He was originally the "only hope of the village", and his goal was to surpass Dayao.
Although he doesn't have that much confidence in his heart, he just thinks that he can be the second child - of course, he is still the third child now, because there is still Da Zhi.
But now someone suddenly appears. He may not even be able to be the third child. Even the most heartless person can't stand it.
He wants to prove himself!
However, in this game, the Arab League and the men's basketball team, who were eager to prove themselves, suffered an embarrassing defeat.
47:73!
This score created the lowest score in a single game in the history of men's basketball. The UAE made 0 of 7 shots in the first half and 2 of 14 in the game, scoring only 9 points.
Da Zhi, who had a brilliant performance in the first game, was completely restricted this time. He only made 2 of 4 shots and scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. On the contrary, the opponent's starting inside team scored 38 points and 18 rebounds, completely destroying the men's basketball inside team.
In fact, the Kings do not have anyone who performs particularly well. Starting point guard Poole Jeter seems to be playing well, but his statistics are average. They rely more on their overall forward pressing defense and their explosive talent in the paint.
They beat the men's basketball team until they lost their temper.
When news of this game returned to China, many fans immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.
After all, except for Dayao, this is already the strongest lineup in the country, but it can't even handle a summer league opponent. What will happen when the Olympics come?
At the same time, it inevitably involved Li Chengming.
"If Brother Fat were here..."
This title is mainly meant to be affectionate. Of course, the person who initially called him this name may not have had any good intentions, but Li Chengming's fans happily accepted it and were proud of it, which successfully resolved the derogatory connotation of this title.
That's right, Li Chengming now has a group of fans in China. Although many of these fans pay attention to him because of their support for domestic players, his outstanding performance has made the fans proud. Over time, it will be possible
Become a diehard loyalist.
After all, there is no such thing as love or hate for no reason, and no one will ever look back from the beginning.
"Li Chengming may not be useful here. This kind of score must be different in all aspects." Someone said this, trying to defend the men's basketball team.
"You are just talking nonsense. You haven't seen Fat Brother play. He can really crush the King's insider."
"I asked you, can you please stop bragging? There is a person who can only play college games in China. There was no such person in the past. Now, just because he has played a few summer league games, Dazhi, Yi Di and others are all
Did it explode? What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Based on the fact that they played easily and contentedly in those three games, and then look at what our men's basketball team did...hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"Yes, they are both second-round picks, but they are still the last picks. Who is your Sun Dasheng? How is your performance like that? Can you compare? You can't compare? Do you know?"
"Okay, stop arguing. We're not playing in the same event, and our opponents are different. What's the comparison?"
The controversy among fans and the real "achievements" of the men's basketball team are there, which makes the Blue Shoes somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, they didn't talk nonsense about Li Chengming before, otherwise, wouldn't they be slapped in the face now?
Of course, they have been slapped in the face many times, so they are not necessarily afraid of being slapped in the face.
I just can't help but complain a little in my heart when facing Ah Lian and Xiao Sun. What do you think is going on with you two? You two are both professionals after all, and you can't even compare to a college student?
Some people can't help but think, is it really necessary to recruit Li Chengming into the national team?
No, that kid is openly provoking the media abroad, and he has no discernment at all. The same goes for his father, who doesn’t even know how to take the initiative to contact them. Do you still want them to humble themselves and ask for help?
Don't even think about it!
So let’s take a look…
In the Magic's fourth Summer League game, the assistant coach finally chose to let Li Chengming rest.
In fact, it's okay if he doesn't participate in the next games. If it's a task of inspecting rookies, the first three games are actually enough to achieve the goal.
Although Li Chengming still has many shortcomings, not to mention the old problem of defense, his physical strength is also an issue.
It would be fine if it was just one game, but consecutive "back-to-back" games, even if each game does not have much playing time, would take a huge toll on Li Chengming.
The summer league is not as intense as the regular regular season, and he is already like this. If he really encounters back-to-back situations in the regular season, why should he lie down from exhaustion?
Of course, if he really joins the first team, he may not be able to get much playing time. It is hard to say whether he will have the opportunity to consume it, but this will obviously be a limit to his upper limit.
After all, physical strength and endurance can be regarded as hidden physical talents. James is not only famous for his endurance, but also Jordan and Kobe, all of them are iron men.
But seeing Li Chengming dragging such a big body, if it wasn't tiring and consuming his energy, the assistant coach would have to wonder if he was a normal person - his physical flexibility is already incredible.
There is no famous Li, but relying on the partnership of Redick and Gortat, who had a truce, the Magic still easily defeated the Pacers. Redick scored 30+ on 6 of 9 three-pointers, and Gortat also got a double-double.
data.
The Pacers have this year's 39th rookie Stanko Ballack, who was traded from the Heat after the draft, but his performance is average, averaging less than 8 points per game, and his efficiency is even worse. He may not be able to do it after the Summer League.
If you get a contract, even if you sign it, you will probably end up playing in the Development League.
Situations like this are actually not uncommon. Second-round picks are not very valuable. If they don't show enough value, the team might as well go to the free market to find veterans.
What's more, the Pacers will strive to enter the playoffs in the new season. Even if they want to train rookies, they cannot waste time on a 21-year-old center who has no obvious talent and is not good enough to fight.
Then in the fifth game, Li Chengming played again. This time the opponent was the Chicago Bulls. There were three rookies in the opponent's team. In addition to No. 49 Aaron Gray and No. 51 Jameson Curry, there was also No. 9 Joe in the first round.
