Chapter 152: Elected as the Best of the Week (Eighth Update)
(Owed free chapter 2nd update)
At the Bulls' post-game press conference, a reporter told him about the praise of Raptors head coach Casey, Li Ming was very surprised, he didn't expect the other party to speak so highly of him, and actually put him in the top five positions in the league.
To be honest, this position is still a bit high for Li Ming now, he knows his ability, at most the top fifteen in the league, and if he is allowed to take the current Bulls lineup and face those fifteen, I am afraid that there will be more losses and fewer wins, even if it can win many games, it will not be known until the last minute.
Therefore, his position on his strength should be in the top 20 in the league, and if he is allowed to obtain five more useful honor skills, he may be able to enter the top 15 in the league.
So his answer was humble: "I'm very grateful to Coach Casey for recognizing me, but in my opinion, that's what I'm going to work for, not where I've reached now, so I'm very grateful to Coach Casey for affirming me, and I'm going to try to get there!" โ
Such a gentle way of answering made the reporters present a little surprised, and they could only secretly say in their hearts: Sure enough, after so many press conferences, rookies also know how to speak.
Originally, the reporters conveyed these words to lead the war, as long as Li Ming affirmed Coach Casey's words, then as long as there was a little more oil and vinegar, the topic of the top five in the league would lead to a fierce war of words.
Li Ming will also be labeled arrogant at that time.
But as a result, the current Li Ming is not in this way at all, and while affirming Casey's words, he also modestly said that the top five in the league is the goal he wants to work towards.
Neither side was offended, and escaped the catastrophe perfectly.
It's a pity that after escaping the catastrophe, the group of reporters did not stop, and asked the second question: "In the last two games, you have successively blocked Asik, Cousins and Wรคrtsilรค Yunas, three famous inside lines in the league, especially Cousins, no more than three people can complete the dunk on his head, you actually did it, I want to ask, what was your original idea, I heard that the tactic after you called a timeout was to prepare to block Cousins, is this true?" โ
As the time passed over the battle between the Bulls and the Pelicans, some tidbits about that game also circulated, among which the biggest concern among fans was that at the end of the fourth quarter, Li Ming blocked Cousins as soon as he came up after shouting a timeout.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused heated discussions, and many fans left messages:
"If this is true, it would be too exaggerated! Li Ming actually wanted to block Cousins from the beginning? โ
"It must be fake, looking at Li Ming's state at that time, you can see that the attack that was barely completed almost couldn't be deducted!"
"I also think it's fake, the unscrupulous editor dares to say anything now!"
It is precisely because there are more and more voices in the discussion that the heat has not diminished, so that the reporter risked Li Ming to ask this question.
"Actually, the situation at that time didn't mean that I had to dunk, but there was such a chance, and I jumped very high, I felt that I could, so I tried it, and it worked, and it was that shot that made my teammates passionate again, so that we finally won that difficult game, I don't know what will happen to the Pelicans in the next game, but this time I was lucky that I was able to dunk!" Li Ming still didn't admit it, even if he did go with this mentality at that time, but the strength of the unhappy was over there, in order to avoid being hated, next time he tortured his teammates to death, it was better for him to deny it!
Deny it, next time you will deduct one from his head! In this way, the face is also earned, and he will not be caught, Li Ming thought in his heart. Now he doesn't have any worries about blocking Cousins, that's how people are, once the first time he succeeds, the second time he feels very natural.
The reporter didn't catch any key points, so naturally he wouldn't give up, and asked another question: "You're about to face the Pacers next, do you think you can dunk one on Turner's head?" โ
Another question was asked, and Li Ming could see that this group of reporters didn't plan to leave if they didn't get an explosive news today.
Nodding, Li Ming replied directly: "I think if I want to, I should be able to!" โ
"Wow~" The reporters at the scene were excited, as if they had waited for something they had been waiting for for a long time, and they were burying their heads in the notebooks in their hands to write down something, and from time to time they turned their heads to say something.
Come to think of it, this group of guys finally has a topic to write about.
"Alright, that's the end of this press conference!" Seeing that they were satisfied one by one, Li Ming also left, and the staff then organized a meeting.
The next day, the report naturally came out, and Li Ming's "wild words" unexpectedly became the front page headline of the newspaper: The strongest newcomer in China has caused controversy again, as long as I want to deduct it, there is no one who can't deduct it.
Helplessly looking at these headline parties who sell their souls in order to attract people's attention, Li Ming really feels that society is so chaotic that it has nothing to do with this group of reporters, and he should pull these guys to the police station, point guns at them, and watch them write.
"Wow! Li Ming is too inflated, he dares to say this, is there no room for others in his eyes now? โ
"Don't you look at what Cousins' ball has barely become? If you do it again, I'm afraid you'll be bounced out by Cousins! โ
"Sit and watch Li Gou get slapped in the face!"
"Clip me to read the article, QQ **********."
On a news website, a group of professional sunspots and a group of people who are just trying to spray people, plus some people with special professions, form a chaotic comment area.
"By the way, there is also this group of tennis fans who listen to the wind and rain!" The root of social chaos!
Li Ming's eyes hurt and he was about to turn it off, but he found that the new issue of Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week had been released. This time, he was nominated for both East Conference Weekly Awards.
Click in and take a look, and the top Player of the Week is a picture of him.
Li Ming, Chicago Bulls guard, Player of the Week.
He has led a five-game winning streak in his last five games, averaging a staggering 27.6 points, 12.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. Obviously, Li Ming is becoming the new synonym of the league, his performance is incredible, and the news about him wearing the No. 1 jersey before the start of the game has also caused heated discussions, and many fans do not think he is eligible to wear the No. 1 jersey, but these remarks have disappeared under Li Ming's performance now.
Li Ming is becoming the new leader of the bulls!
