Although he took a relatively large lead in the first half, Rivers still put the main lineup on the court at the beginning of the third quarter in order to secure the victory in the first game of the regular season.

The main lineup played almost the whole game, but the effect was good, and the Wizards failed to recover the score, and the two teams played a 21-21 score in the third quarter, and Li Chenglong could only sit on the bench for a whole quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rivers made a substitution, but it was Tony Allen, who had a better defense, who replaced Ray Allen.

It wasn't until there were more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter that the score remained hovering around 18 points, Rivers replaced all the main forces, and Li Chenglong got another chance to play.

In the final garbage time, Li Chenglong scored 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, turning his scoring data into 12 points.

However, it doesn't feel good to appear in garbage time and feel like a garbage player.

It's garbage time, and the garbage players are ready to play.

Well, that's what it feels like.

The Celtics won their first regular season game of the new season 103-83, and Lee Sung-ryong also scored 12 points as a rookie, which is a good start.

At the end of the game, the reporters went to watch and interview the Big Three, Li Chenglong's debut only looked at the score, in fact, it was very average, 12 points was not high, but Li Chenglong's second quarter scored 10 points to help the team open up the point gap in one fell swoop, and the shooting rate was also very high, shooting 5 of 8 in the game.

So, those reporters who couldn't compete for interviews with the Big Three came to Li Chenglong's side, with the idea of beating rabbits with grass.

"Hello, Bruce, I'm a reporter for the Boston Post, you've had a very productive game, do you have any thoughts on your rookie season?" A middle-aged uncle asked Li Chenglong.

"In their rookie season, every player's rookie season goal is the same, which is to get the best rookie of the year."

"What odds do you think you have of being the best rookie?"

"It's certainly not going to be smaller than others."

"Bruce, as a rookie who was drafted in round 32, is going to be very difficult to get Rookie of the Year."

"I don't think I'm worse than anyone else, I was also drafted with the second pick, the second pick in the second round."

……

So in the newspaper the next day, an article "Celtics' second-round show called the list eye show Durant" came out, and a large article was sprinkled, adding fuel and vinegar to say that Li Chenglong challenged the Seattle Supersonics' Durant and thought that he should be the list eye show.

Reporters are the best at making this kind of article to add fuel and cool, and Li Chenglong said that he wants to pursue the best rookie is indeed suspected of challenging Durant, the supersonic because of the demolition and reconstruction, Durant has just arrived in Seattle and has unlimited rights, plus the original thought that the biggest competitor Emperor Oden is reimbursed for the season, and the American media believes that the best rookie has no suspense.

A reporter with good things asked Durant about this report, and the little bag said: "Let's talk about it when he can score 20 points." ”

Durant has played two games for the SuperSonics, scoring 18 points on 7-of-22 shooting in the first and 27 points on 11-of-23 shooting in the second.

The reporter asked Li Chenglong again with this answer, and Li Chenglong said: "I scored points to help the team win, not to brush up on data." ”

Li Chenglong is satirizing Durant's supersonic two consecutive defeats, and Durant's high score is also a data.

After going back and forth, the two began to fight in the air, laying the groundwork for future battles.

On the evening of the end of the game with the Wizards, Li Chenglong received a call from Wen Yi, a Chinese journalist who had not been in touch for a long time, and Wen Yi said on the phone: "Congratulations, Xiao Li, your performance is very good, continue to work hard." ”

It's just some boring saliva that is not nutritious, and Li Chenglong doesn't know why the other party suddenly cares about others.

At present, as far as domestic Chinese fans are concerned, the news they care about is Yao Ming and the Rockets, or Yi Jianlian's performance in the Bucks.

Yi Jianlian and his strange agent had a mess, and in the end he had to stay in the Bucks to play, he offended the team boss so early, if it was played, it would be fine, the boss would continue to tolerate you for money and interests, if you can't play, the boss will definitely not keep your value, Yi Jianlian's failure in the Bucks in the future is not without the cause and effect of this year's trouble.

But for now, domestic fans are fortunate to have great hopes for Yi Jianlian, plus the current Rockets are playing well, Li Chenglong, a Chinese American, is not much concerned, and the current news of Li Chenglong is reported on the corner of the sports newspaper, and the news is directly copied from the United States.

Speaking of which, in last month's preseason, the league arranged for the Cavaliers and Magic to play in China, and James didn't pay much attention to him when he arrived in China, just an ordinary second-rate star treatment, but Howard was more famous than him, and he was not satisfied with the preseason court in Shanghai.

Speaking of Lao Zhan, he was also heartbroken, and when Lao Zhan became angry in the future, he remembered the treatment of going to play in China in 07, and few people paid attention to him when he tried his best to play treasure, and he must be full of tears.

At present, the most concerned in China is Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, in addition to this, only Kobe Bryant and other most popular stars are concerned, Lao Zhan is far away in the east, and the geographical location is not good, but Howard is very popular in China with the problem of competing with Yao Ming for the first center in the league.

The next morning, Li Chenglong got up and was still eating breakfast, when he heard a knock on the door.

When he came to Maoyan and saw that it was an acquaintance, Li Chenglong opened the door and asked, "Tom, what is the matter with you coming to Boston so early?" ”

New York, Boston and Philadelphia are the three major cities in the eastern United States, not far from each other, but it takes 2 hours to drive from New York to Boston, and it is only 9 o'clock in the morning, so Li Chenglong will be so strange.

"There's good news for you."

Seeing that Li Chenglong continued to eat breakfast and didn't pick up his topic, Hammer had to continue on his own: "There is a sports brand that wants to sign you." ”

Li Chenglong thought for a while and asked, "Is it a local sports brand in Boston?" ”

"Bruce, how do you know? Did they contact you separately? Hammer asked, raising his voice and a little surprised.

"No, I guessed."

Looking at Hamer's disbelieving expression, Li Chenglong explained: "You will personally come to Boston and you discuss this matter with me, either a big contract or a local brand in Boston, a second-round rookie like me, it is obviously impossible to have a big contract, that is a local brand in Boston." ”

"I'm here to talk to you about the connection to the local brands in Boston?"

"Tom, you have a few rugby players under my umbrella, so you usually stay in New York, if it's a brand elsewhere, you can just call me and ask me, and now come to Boston to find me, probably because you can start negotiating a contract directly with the other party after I agree, right?"

Hammer still quibbled: "Maybe I happened to be passing through Boston and came to you by the way?" ”

"Well, you're right, so I didn't use a tone of direct affirmation."

"Well, Bruce, you're really smart, the more I'm sure you'll succeed. Let's talk about endorsements, it's New Balance, a local brand in Boston, and they reached out to me and wanted you to be their signing. ”

Speaking of endorsements, Li Chenglong asked seriously: "Do they have any conditions?" ”

"Since you're a second-round player and you're on a two-year contract, their general intention is to sign a two-year contract that won't be too high, and they want to use your image to promote it in the U.S. and China," Hammer said. ”

"Okay, you go and talk to them, it's best to have 2 years, I'm sure I'll improve in two years."

"Don't worry, I'm here in Boston, in addition to New Balance, there is also a Boston Chinatown restaurant that wants to use your image as publicity."

"You're an agent, go talk to them."
