Chapter Seventy-Three: The Rhythm Flies
Hoiberg's support moved Li Ming greatly, but just his support was useless, after the interview, Li Ming's news of cutting thirty plus three consecutive games naturally became a topic of conversation, and Li Ming's number of shots and malicious scores, which had already become the focus, became a hot topic again.
Especially after the ill-intentioned reporter uploaded a video of Li Ming's continuous strong beats in the middle of the fourth quarter and was blown for offensive fouls, the entire black fans who were unhappy with Li Ming were boiling.
"I'll just say that this kid is maliciously swiping points, this battle really shows the fox's tail, wait! In the regular season, wait for the teams to get serious and see how you score points! ”
"Now it seems that Li Ming's steal of his teammates in the summer league should also be to score points!"
"Upstairs, is there anything else going on? To elaborate, this is simply unbearable! ”
The movement became bigger and bigger, and Li Ming's good mood was messed up, and he secretly said in his heart: Okay! If you want to quarrel, make a noise! When you see me still in the regular season, you'll know how stupid you are.
。。。。。。
The fourth game of the preseason is against the Cavaliers, this game is actually very topical, because Rose's fans just made a fuss on the Internet because Li Ming wore the Bulls' No. 1 jersey, although in the end Rose ran out to play a round, but recently after the rhythm of Li Ming's malicious scoring has risen, this group of fans can't hold back their temper tantrums, and they began to shout on the Internet that Li Ming take off the No. 1 jersey and stop discrediting this number.
So if you can play a good game in front of Rose, then Rose's fans should shut up.
In fact, many people are waiting for this game between the Bulls and the Cavaliers with this attitude, but as a result, Tyronn Lue took turns to rest LeBron, Wade, Rose, and even Love was arranged on the cold bench, not giving a chance to watch the excitement at all.
This game finally became Li Ming's battle for points, scoring 31 points alone, adding 30 in four consecutive games, and leading the team to four consecutive victories.
However, fans still didn't buy it, and even ridiculed it more and more:
"Look! The Score Maniac is scoring again! ”
"Oh, what a pity! This is just a preseason, there is a saying, preseason as fierce as a tiger, a worm in the regular season, waiting for Li Ming to be educated in the opening game of the regular season! ”
"I also wore the No. 1 jersey, but one won the youngest MVP in history, and this one will only score points in the preseason, what a gap!"
。。。。。
"This bunch of guys is too much!"
Lisa looked at these comments and was angry, these days she is preparing Li Ming's manuscript, which has already been written, but the problem is that there are too many rhythms about Li Ming recently, and she has been pressed to prevent her from posting, because of this matter, her mood in the company is very unstable, and Yuke has quarreled with her several times.
"That's it! It doesn't matter what those people say, soon, the rhetoric will naturally change! On the phone, it was Li Ming's comforting voice.
"But 。。。。。。" She wanted to say something.
Li Ming interrupted: "Believe me, after the opening game, there will be no more such remarks!" ”
"Really?!" Lisa's eyes lit up, and there was no better news for her.
"Yes."
。。。。。。。。
Office of the General Manager of the United Center.
It was the night before the final game of the preseason.
Instead of thinking about tomorrow's match in the office, Hojberg came to Foreman's office.
"Please come in!"
Foreman is analyzing the data in front of the computer, this new scouting report, for the general manager, there are two ways to rebuild the team, one is to recruit superstars, which is the most convenient way, and the second is to consider rookies, among which the successful case is the Thunder, and to a certain extent, the Warriors are also considered to be the team that passed the draft.
For all teams, the first way to rebuild in the current league is actually based on the second approach, in today's globalized world, the distinction between big cities and small cities is far less important than before, and stars are more important when choosing a lineup.
For example, Irving of the Cavaliers, even if he left, he finally chose the Celtics, who have the ability to win the championship, and George, everyone was sure that he would go to the Lakers, but he still went to the Thunder, and formed the Big Three with Anthony and the Turtles.
Therefore, if you want to recruit stars, you must also see your own strength.
Otherwise, if you are lucky enough to become a 76ers, the three-year-old team will still be a playoff-level team in the end, and you will not be able to achieve a qualitative leap at all.
The Bulls are the team that just decided to break down this summer, and what Foreman has done is only the first step in a rebuilding effort, choosing a new roster to build.
"Fred, why are you here?!" Hojberg's arrival was obviously unexpected by Foreman, and the last game of the preseason tomorrow is the regular season, so it stands to reason that the guy should be studying the bad lineup! How could you have such leisure to come to the office?
"I have an idea to talk to General Manager Foreman, I don't know if you have this time!"
Foreman glanced at him and couldn't help but smile: "Hey, man! How serious is this, you just led the team to four consecutive wins in the preseason! And Li Ming's performance is also very good, you have completely done what we asked, is there anything to be unhappy about? ”
Hoiberg nodded: "That's really a serious matter!" ”
“OK!” Seeing that he was not joking, Foreman got up and left his chair, led Hoiberg to the side of the couch, and poured him a glass of water, "Alright! It looks like our manager really has something serious to say, so I'm going to have to take it seriously! ”
"I said directly, I hope the team doesn't mess up in the new season!"
"Huh?" Foreman was stunned, he didn't expect Hojberg to want to talk about it at all, he still had a water cup in his hand, and he didn't hand it to the latter, but swung it on the low coffee table, and his tone became serious: "I need a reason!" ”
"Because we have Li Ming, we don't need to mess up at all, this is a player who can be used as a cornerstone, and the first four games of the preseason are thirty in a row, and the Bulls have won every game, which is very telling! If we can make a few big moves in a few trades during the season, I don't think we'll be in the East! ”
“O,OK!” Hojborg's tone was a little hurried, and Foreman waved his hands to signal him to calm down, "First of all, I don't deny Li Ming's ability, and he played very well in the preseason, but, man, you know, it's just a preseason!" It doesn't matter, does it? ”
