Chapter 45: On the eve of the final battle
The game gradually began to come to an end, and Li Qian's average statistics per game were: 21 points, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals.
It also made him one of the best players in the 16th class, and he was discussed more often, usually on a par with the rookies in the lottery, and his ability was always in the eyes and minds of all scouts.
And Li Qian's performance in the last ten games is very good, he can get 23 points, 10 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks of strange data, his block is so eye-catching, even all the players who have played against him feel very peculiar, this strange hobby, but also many teams have a lot of interest in it.
The Houston Rockets are very optimistic about him, thinking that he can enter the lottery, maybe they also consider Li Qian's identity as a Chinese, can borrow him to recreate the legend of the Yao Ming era, and obtain huge profits on the Chinese side, and the fan base, and the Suns also want to get this player.
They think that Li Qian is now very suitable for the Sun's system, and they also released that he came to the Suns and felt that he could play out, and he still had stable playing time and ball possession.
Although it is too early to discuss these things, it can fully show that Li Qian's ability has been recognized by many teams, as well as the support of his teammates.
And Li Qian hasn't thought about the draft yet, because now is the critical moment to enter the top 64, and he won't worry about these things that haven't come yet.
Because of their excellent performance, this year in the Great East League is a dark horse, now the record and the Wildcats are the same, the two teams-for-tat, both want to win the first place, directly advance to the round of 64, so in recent times, the Wildcats have fought very fiercely, although they lost to the Marvel team twice, but it did not prevent them from playing well.
The promotion of the team is reborn in the fierce battles again and again, and the exclamation team can be said to play too easily, except for a few games after losing the game, there is a change, but it cannot completely change the habit of underestimating the enemy.
This is also what John is worried about, afraid that the players will be too proud and bury the games that should not be buried, and lose some points that should not be lost, so in every game, John will emphasize that they must not despise any team, no matter whether they are weak or strong, they must go all out.
Although the players nodded their heads, they forgot about it when they came on the pitch.
In the first two games, it was almost buried, after Li Qian's three-point shot, the exclamation team was already 20 points ahead, and there were three minutes left, Li Qian left the game early, so it indicated that Li Qian might not play the last three minutes.
The opponent immediately got up, and soon played a wave of counterattack frenzy, many mistakes were made, which were converted into scores, and in just two minutes, the difference was narrowed to ten points, and in order to stabilize the position, Li Qian had to be sent back on the field.
In this way, the game was not buried because of relaxation, and John off the field was already angry, staring at the substitutes on the field and scolding.
And the latest game, extremely thrilling, also in the last four or five minutes has been ahead of 16 points, for the sake of insurance, did not withdraw the main force, but the main force seems to have forgotten the lesson of the last game, or it may be that the other party suddenly came to feel. The hit rate soars to 80%!
The most terrifying thing is that five shots from three points and five hits!
Directly overtook the point difference, this time John was anxious, quickly called a timeout, rearranged the tactics, because Li Qian left the movement offensive method to be used as a last resort, so at the last moment, had to use the movement offensive method, Li Qian alone took 15 points in the last four minutes, laying the victory but Li Qian's physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and it took several days to slow down.
And tomorrow will usher in the final battle of the round of 64 qualifiers, so each of them came to the stadium very early and talked about tomorrow's game, tomorrow's success or failure is related to the ranking, losing second, winning first, so they train non-stop.
"Hey, come on, man, I'll automatically advance tomorrow if I win the game!" Stephen encouraged everyone, because he was still the boss of the team, although Li Qian's performance was very dazzling, but he did not hinder Stephen, Stephen did alas anyone is good, he is suitable to be the boss, and he is willing to stop him.
"Ho ho ho, tomorrow is the last battle, as long as you lose one game in the future, it will be equivalent to out, I hope everyone cheers up!" Will didn't know when this joke came out, such a refreshing remark, which made everyone a little incredible.
Li Qian is concentrating on training, his desire to survive should be the strongest in the team, although the current stage of the game has been won, but tomorrow's battle is not easy to play, after all, the strength is not much worse, they are all the top three seeded teams, and they can only be better than them in terms of mentality and cooperation.
Li Qian read the news in the newspaper yesterday, and he praised him more than criticized, of course, this is based on winning, if he loses, it is estimated that he is full of doubts, so he didn't pay much attention to the news in the newspaper, just meowed occasionally.
Some time ago, Li Qian endorsed the Chinese basketball shoe brand, Li Ning.
This contract can be regarded as a good deal, they all saw the commercial value of Li Qian, and after entering the NBA, it is estimated that it will be more than that price, so they signed it earlier.
And Li Qian is also in order not to burden the family financially. also wanted to surprise his parents, so he agreed to this contract, no matter what, Li Qian has an income, which is something that people can only be proud of.
This contract was negotiated for nearly a week, because the price has not been negotiated, and it almost broke up, but Li Qian's coach John is indeed a master, and after the most negotiations, Li Qian actually got a sneaker contract of two million a year. It's really not easy, after all, he is not an NBA player now, although his reputation is okay, to the point that there is absolutely no Simmons, Ingram, Bender The news of these people is scary, they can be said to have locked the top three picks, if there is a change, but it will not change much, basically that's it, last year it was the Lakers who did not play according to the routine, which is unpredictable, but as long as it is a reasonable card, then it is reasonable.
Li Qian won't care, after all, preparing for tomorrow's game is the most important, and he needs to play with all his strength.
"Dive, don't be nervous, we'll win tomorrow, we will." Stephen saw that Li Qian was a little depressed, thinking that he was worried about the game, so he kindly asked.
"I'm fine, I'm worried about my stamina, I don't feel like I'm fully recovered right now." After Li Qian used the movement attack method, it was a severe test of physical strength, so it was inevitable that he would be a little worried and didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine soon!" Stephen said with a smile.
