Chapter 328 Before the war

"Hey, if you had told me a year ago that you would become a superstar in the NBA and become the focus of basketball fans around the world, would I have believed you?"

At night, Li Chengming and his father were lying in the yard looking at the night sky, and the golden retriever was lying at their feet.

Li Chengming massaged it with his feet and said with a smile: "Dad, forget it, I didn't expect it either. But I think the more important thing is that now we can sit down and watch the stars so comfortably."

"Hahaha..." Father Li laughed loudly, patted the chair and said: "Yes, I was busy with work at that time and didn't have much time to spend with you and your mother. But now, although I am busy, I can often find time to spare.

I'll accompany you, but it's a pity that your mother is not here..."

Having said this, the old man shook his head with regret.

Although they are a middle-aged couple, they have a deep relationship. Perhaps it is because he and his wife are separated from each other and spend less time apart, and he respects others, which makes him more tolerant of Li Chengming and Amy Adams.

"Well, how about I give you a holiday?"

Father Li immediately rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Why, do you really think you are your boss?"

Li Chengming smiled and muttered, "Isn't that right?"

Father and son also have to settle accounts openly. Li Chengming is indeed the big boss now.

Father Li now has an entire team under him, both domestic and foreign, and has also opened a company, which is actually dedicated to serving Li Chengming alone.

Because Li Chengming's current personal business value is enough to support a company.

Fortunately, in the United States, although Li Chengming's popularity is rising rapidly, his background is relatively poor, and coupled with various limitations as an athlete and a fat insider, many manufacturers will not approach them.

But for domestic brands, they really don’t care about whether they are suitable or not, but only whether they are famous or not.

In the field of athletes, basketball definitely has a wider audience and a larger market than other sports, and the NBA, as the most commercialized and most famous league in the world, also has the highest recognition.

Many people may think that the NCAA's March Madness is more pure. This is actually true. Many people in the United States really like to watch March Madness better than the NBA, but that is an event, especially a game that determines the outcome.

The success of the competition system does not mean the success of the players.

And it is not commercialized, but many people behind it make a lot of money, but the players can only get a small amount.

Therefore, there have been cases where players may have ruined their career just for 10,000 US dollars. There is really no money to get it.

Otherwise, there would be so many high school students who only attended college for one year. Even when high school students were allowed to participate in the draft, many high school geniuses did not go to college at all and directly participated in the draft and entered the NBA because they wanted to make money.

Li Chengming can now be said to be a top-20 star even in the NBA - of course in active service. This is considering that he currently has no personal honors and is in a team with a good foundation like the Magic.

His evaluation is somewhat discounted.

But for domestic businesses and fans, it is not a big problem for Li Chengming to sit back and watch in the field of domestic athletes.

The only person who can stabilize him, besides Dayao, is Liu Xiang.

Dayao had various endorsements before. As a player at the center position, this can be said to be rare. Some people don't know how to contact him.

Now Li's father is stuck with a lot of endorsements. Because Li Chengming has been competing, even if he signs the contract, he can't immediately go back to participate in promotional activities. Even the promotional photos have to be sent here to shoot a team or they simply take them.

Sent over.

He is destined to spend the next summer amidst busy business activities. Regarding this point, his father is currently communicating with Blue Shoes. According to the instructions there, he can "do it without affecting normal training"

"Appropriately" allow him to participate in those business activities.

This kind of clichéd officialdom is obviously unsatisfactory. After all, what is appropriate? Who has the final say?

Li Chengming also knew that he had to be careful when dealing with these guys, otherwise he would cause some trouble. In the end, he would not get any benefits and might even get into trouble.

Fortunately, when Li's father was doing foreign trade business, he had lots of dealings with relevant departments and understood some of them.

And he has recruited the top management, public relations and legal talents in the country, forming a team that is more than enough to deal with various domestic affairs, including communication with Blue Shoes.

Anyway, as long as you think it through first and make it clear that it is they who are asking for something from him, not him who is asking for something from them, and you will not be led by the nose at will.

Of course, if he can win the NBA championship this time, he can straighten his back again, and if he can get Dayao and the others to help him stand in the team, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, he also won the championship, so his gold content is definitely much higher than that of Daba.

If he can really win the FMVP as some domestic fans think, the domestic media will probably trumpet this award far beyond the MVP.

And not to mention, judging from Li Chengming's playing style and his data performance in the past two games, as long as he can be stable later, just like when he faced Green Kai, his hope of winning this award is indeed the greatest among the Magic.

.

…

Before the third battle officially begins, Li Chengming also plans to sort out his current strategic reserves.

Since the start of the playoffs, the system has actually been active very frequently. Whether it is achieving a new playoff scoring high, triple-double data, or various victory processes, there are varying degrees of calorie consumption and a lot of points are awarded.

Maybe it's also because according to NBA rules, the playoffs and the regular season are usually counted separately, so many records have to be restarted.

But it is impossible for the system to let him take advantage of the loopholes, because his strength and ability are now different from those at the beginning of the regular season. Even if the intensity of the playoffs increases, for him now, scoring is like picking something out of a bag, as long as

If his opponent has the slightest loophole, he can seize the opportunity.

Generally speaking, it depends not only on the defensive pressure placed on him by the opponent, but also on his on-the-spot state.

For example, it feels like the game against Green Kai, where the three-point shot was outstanding and the opponent had no choice but to admit it.

Therefore, although he has broken many records in the first three rounds since entering the playoffs and created various new histories for Chinese players in the NBA, the rewards given by the system appear to be relatively stingy.

It's also because it was too easy. This kind of strength makes it difficult for him to perform like in the first game of the finals.

However, he has accumulated so far, because there are more games and more rewards, and he has dozens of experience points, which he can redeem for a lot of things.

But Li Chengming's appetite has grown up now. To him, although some scraps seem cheap, they are of no particular use to him personally after being redeemed. It's better to save them together and make a big deal.

"There are very few parts of my offense that can be developed now. Although the three-pointers can still be strengthened, I can't encroach on my teammates' offensive space..."

On the court, a team's ball rights and shot rights are roughly fixed. It can be increased by speeding up the offensive rhythm and improving the offensive rounds, but there is an upper limit.

And this is like a piece of cake, it all depends on how the players on the team divide it.

Some players get more points, while other players get less. And many times, those players who seem to have good personal abilities are on the same team, but their results are not good. It is precisely because of them.

Each party gets less cake, and sometimes there may even be conflicts over sharing the cake. In the end, no one is full, and no one is able to exert their best.

It may even lead to a quarrel and everyone going their separate ways.

The Magic are actually like this now. Li Chengming's presence in the paint actually squeezes part of Howard's ball rights and shooting rights.

Of course, it generally has a positive effect. He can sometimes attract the defense to help Howard with the ball, making it easier for the latter to play on the offensive end.

Although he does not take many shots, Howard's offensive efficiency in this playoffs is still ranked among the top three in the paint. The reason why he is not first is because of his own problems. He is too bad at free throws and is often caught by opponents using foul tactics.

against.

It is also because of this that there have been many ugly "shark-killing" scenes in the playoffs this season, which has led the league to speed up the restrictions on "shark-killing tactics."

After all, the NBA is a commercial league that pursues good looks and excitement, rather than dragging the game into a boring free throw shootout.

The reason why the Magic's interior line is considered by the outside world to be the best in the league this season is because the three main interior lines, Li Chengming, Howard and Lewis, can have good results no matter how they are paired together, the most is the strength on the defensive end.

different.

So now their arrangement of ball rights is quite appropriate. Everyone is used to it and everyone performs his or her duties without any objections.

But if Li Chengming wants to expand his offensive areas, what will the Magic do with so many three-point shooters?

Including Lewis, he is actually a space-based insider who relies on three-pointers to survive most of the time.

You can't expect them all to squeeze under the basket and grab rebounds, right?

The enthusiasm of role players still needs to be mobilized by offense, because it is easy to get good data, and good data often means good contracts.

Li Chengming also knows this, so as long as he can find a good opportunity from the outside when he is on the court, he will not hesitate to distribute the ball to them and usually they can seize the opportunity.

In fact, it is precisely because of such simple cooperation that everyone plays their own role, which makes the Magic's offense appear unstoppable.

Because everyone on the court is useful, and when they are motivated on the offensive end, they can often do well on the defensive end.

The Magic obviously belong to that kind of team, whose basic defensive quality is not very good, but can make up for it with enthusiasm and cooperation.

Now Li Chengming only occasionally launches attacks at the three-point line. This is a guest appearance. This is mainly the work of Turkoglu and Nelson.

But if Li Chengming wants this and that, then he is taking other people's data and invading other people's space and shooting rights. Isn't this creating discord within the team?
