In the lateral movement training on the defensive end, Wang Cheng's performance was the best in the team, needless to say; In offensive training, whether it is dribbling training, passing training... He's shown amazing progress.

In the words of Assistant Coach Handy, "Wangcheng's progress is reborn, and he is an absolute genius!" ”

And that's not all.

In the group match on the second day, Wang Cheng played for the substitute team, and he formed an "iron triangle" with Kuzma and Clarkson to lead the substitute team to victory.

This simply made head coach Wharton's jaw drop, you must know that there are two players in the main team: Yingge, Brother Qiu, former All-Star center Lopez, and strong players: Randle and Pope.

Among them, Wang Cheng's performance is particularly prominent. not only locked up the ball brother and Pope on the guard line, but also staged many good performances such as three-pointers and passes on the offensive end.

Even Wang's most criticized pass by the coaching staff had a good performance in this matchup: in a fast-break game, Wangcheng made a hidden behind-the-back pass to assist Kuzma to score a layup.

Throughout the entire confrontation match, Wang Cheng can be said to have crushed the opposing ball brother in all aspects!

After this battle, Wang Cheng has changed from "having rotation potential" to "whether to be promoted to the main force" in Wharton's mind.

But after all, Brother Ball is the top player, and winning the MVP in the summer league has been pinned on by many Lakers fans.

Naturally, Wharton couldn't have demoted him to the bench just because of a training game.

But this thought was also the first time that this thought had germinated in his mind.

······

The time came to October 20, and the preseason kicked off.

The opening match - the L.A. derby is on the verge of breaking out!

Such a focus battle is naturally highly anticipated and broadcast live around the world.

"Welcome to Tengxun Sports on time to bring you the NBA broadcast, I am the commentator Wang Zixing, today we invited my home - Wang Shipeng Wang to guide, and I will explain the much-anticipated Los Angeles derby."

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Shipeng."

"Director Wang, there are a lot of highlights in this game, among which we are most concerned about the point guard from our Huaxia - Wang Cheng. We all know that the city has just accepted the challenge of Kobe Bryant recently, and he is going to win the Rookie of the Year title this season, what do you think about that? ”

"Based on the two games we've seen so far, it's going to be difficult for him to win the Rookie of the Year show. Needless to say, Wang Cheng's defensive ability is the foundation of his foothold, and he can start from defense and improve himself step by step like Leonard. But from the offensive skills he showed in the game, I don't think it was enough for him to compete for this award. ”

"It seems that our Wang Gui is still very sensible. But I have to add that some time ago, there was a heads-up video of Wang Cheng and Irving, and in the video, we can find that Wang Cheng's offensive skills have improved a lot compared to the summer league. ”

"I also watched that video, but there is still a big difference between the official game and the 1v1 heads-up, I don't know if Wang Cheng's skills can be displayed in the game."

"Then let's wait and see! The game is about to start, now let's get the camera to the front! ”

At this time, Wang Cheng finished his warm-up, put on his warm sportswear, and sat silently at the end of the bench.

Even with his impressive performances in training, he is currently on the fringes of the team.

Even after this game, he will officially sign a contract with the Lakers.

As the referee tosses the ball into the air, the game officially begins.

It is worth mentioning that this game is supposed to be the home court of the Clippers, but because the two teams share the Staples Center as their home court, the number of Lakers fans at the scene at this time is the majority.

They wore either No. 8 or No. 24, as well as a handful of No. 2s (ball brother jerseys), and they cheered on the Lakers from the start.

Especially when this year's leader, when Brother Qiu gets the ball, there will be warm applause at the scene.

However, the progress of the game surprised the expectant Lakers fans.

From the moment the game started, Clippers guard Beverley stuck to the ball like a dogskin plaster.

As long as Brother Qiu gets the ball, he is like a mad dog, pounced on Brother Qiu, and kept giving high-intensity physical confrontation.

Wang Cheng reminded Brother Qiu yesterday that Beverley would definitely target him like crazy.

But looking at it today, Brother Qiu is still not ready.

He was knocked so far by Beverly that he couldn't even dribble the ball.

With the ball brother unable to complete the organization properly, the Lakers' offense stalled, and the Clippers quickly took the lead.

Wharton called a timeout three minutes into the game.

But it backfired, and after the timeout, Brother Qiu once again encountered Beverley's "biting" defense.

After stumbling a few steps, Brother Qiu struggled to collect the ball and wanted to pass it to his teammates.

But how could Beverly give him a chance to breathe, step by step.

Brother Qiu accidentally moved the pivot foot in the pressing.

"Beep!"

The referee made a walking gesture and the Lakers made a mistake!

After the mistake, Brother Qiu only smiled bitterly, and he didn't even dare to look at the opponent who showed off his biceps beside him.

The scene from the previous life was staged again, and Wang Cheng on the bench silently clenched his fists.

Beverley roared at the audience, as if mocking the Lakers fans in attendance, "That's what you want?" ”
