Chapter 37: Zach Laven (1st Shift Asking for Votes)
Early the next morning, the news that Lisa and Li Ming's suspected relationship was exposed also spread in China, and naturally there were a bunch of comments worried about the country and the people:
"Hey, I'm complacent just after showing a little strength, run to play with foreign girls, boy, beware of your body being hollowed out!"
"Such a guy will definitely not be able to achieve anything, and he will be stunned as soon as he becomes famous, what a big thing can he achieve!"
"It's just a summer league, and I'm confused by the flowers outside, I really don't know what to say!"
"I really shouldn't have swiped the news of a certain news early in the morning, I'm really γγγγγ" Li Ming took the phone and put it aside, got up to wash, and after taking care of it, he went out with a bored face.
γγγγγ
Coming to the United Center again, looking at the statue of Jordan in the center of the square, Li Ming felt a little different from the last time he came, when he just had some impact because of the clean sheet Dinwiddie in a single quarter of the game, in fact, he was still at a loss for how to go in the future, otherwise he would not have been entangled for a night because he chose to join the Bulls or the Warriors, but now he is full of confidence, as the MVP of the Summer League Finals, he has beaten all the potential rookie guards in the 2017 lottery area, The potential he has shown has made him now have a faint trend of becoming a star in everything he says and does, and he will never feel lost again.
"Hello, Jordan!"
Brushing past the statue, Li Ming walked towards the gate of the United Center Arena.
The doors are open, and while the players are resting, some teams can't, such as Forman, who was waiting for the elevator at the door.
"Oh, Li Ming, why are you here?!" The latter also saw him, and walked towards him enthusiastically with a black briefcase, obviously a little surprised, looked at Li Ming from top to bottom, and asked, "Are you here to practice?!" β
Li Ming nodded.
"Oh God, you're such a hard worker, you're going to make it!" Forman breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, patted Li Ming's shoulder, and just as the elevator came down at this time, he hurriedly waved his hand at Li Ming, and then shook his fat and greasy waist and ran towards the elevator.
Li Ming could probably think of why Foreman was relieved, eighty percent of them were deceived by yesterday's exaggerated news report.
"Do I look like the kind of person who is complacent when he gets out of the roll call?!"
γγγγγγ
The training arena is very quiet, after all, it is an off-season, who can there be, but there is a guy who walked out of the monitoring room, he should have seen him enter the arena, and wanted to inquire about the situation!
Li Ming was about to explain, but the guy over there had already spoken first: "My name is Jack, Ming, the performance in the finals is really great, it is definitely the best performance in the history of the Summer League, you are the strongest, man!" β
"Oh, much, thank you!" Li Ming was a little embarrassed by the other party's sudden admiration, okay! Since you're not here to stop me from entering the gym, you don't need to say anything, let's go to practice!
I went to the storage room and pushed two basketball carts, and then simply dribbled the ball for a while, and it didn't play too fancyβwhen he just acquired Alstom's dribbling skills some time ago, he was tired of all the street ball moves.
Then he suddenly started and rushed towards the basket, and a powerful dunk was easily completed. - In short, you can't get tired of dunking.
"Alright, it's time to practice shooting!" Li Ming felt that his body was almost hot, so he devoted himself to the practice of shooting.
When the muscle memory reaches a certain level, even if the defender puts his hand to the eye, it still can't be prevented.
Like the all-time three-point shooter Ray Allen, who once stood outside the three-point line in a room with almost no light and hit the basket directly. This is the sign of a great feeling, and it is also the reason why some players can't prevent it at all.
Of course, shooting must be boring, but the more in this boring environment, the more you can exercise people's hearts, think about it, the famous pitchers in history are often killers with a sword: Reggie Miller, mid-range shooting king Houston, Jordanγγγγγγ
The so-called can endure loneliness, and naturally can break out of loneliness.
Jack sat in the monitoring room, although he had been appointed as a scout, but there was no task given to him for the time being, so he let him watch the video by himself and cultivate his vision.
Looking at Li Ming's practice so seriously, he actually admired it very much, if he had just won the MVP of the summer league the day before yesterday, then he would definitely not have returned to training so soon: "So! I can't become Li Ming! β
muttering to himself, he suddenly felt some shadow at the door, which made the small monitoring room darken, turned his head to look, was stunned at first, and then reacted, and quickly walked towards the tall man: "Zack, why did you come to the stadium, the vacation is over?!" β
"Of course, man, summer league is over, I'll have to get back to training!" The tall man walked into the room from the shadows, revealing his appearance, a typical Western guy's appearance, with a slight freshness, but with a scruffy beard and a hint of manhood.
This man is Zach LaVine, who shocked the world with two slam dunk contests, and in a seven-man trade this summer, he came to the Chicago Bulls from the Timberwolves, and he is another guard who has won the slam dunk contest after the Bulls' Jordan, and he is full of desire.
"This is the Chinese kid Li Ming who caused a lot of trouble in the summer league?" Through the surveillance video, LaVine happened to see Li Ming who was training, shooting three points in the middle of the shot, and he was very happy to practice.
"That's him, he's very hot this summer! It's another Asian player after Jeremy Lin! How's that, isn't it handsome! Jack stood next to him and excitedly introduced.
"Jeremy Lin?! Heh, he's not Jeremy Lin! LaVine chuckled, then walked briskly to the arena.
"Well... Hey, you, where are you going?! Jack was thinking about what LaVine meant, and as soon as he saw him leave, he immediately chased after his ass.
Li Ming was shooting, one ball after another flying towards the basket like a precise missile, and he felt like his hand had exploded.
"Hey, Huaxia Kid!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the door, which made him slow down his shot, and looked curiously at the person who shouted.
"Raven?!" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, he had naturally seen the two-time dunk king of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, and he knew that this guy was his teammate in the new season, but he didn't expect to meet so soon.
Didn't you say that you were still recuperating from your injuries?
The corners of LaVine's mouth rose, and he grabbed a basketball that rolled down to the door, threw it at Li Ming, and shouted, "Huaxia boy, come to bullfighting!" β
