The Bulls were a little vulnerable, and Dunleavy was only half a quarter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Dong thought that the menacing Dunleavy could be strong, it turned out to be really a grinding kung fu, maybe there was a set on the offensive end, but the defense was not good, and even Li Dong felt that it was not as good as his current defense.

However, Gasol does have a very good set, especially the balance between high position and independent attack, which is very good. The only bad thing is that there is a difficult defense due to age

But this can't be blamed on Gasol, after all, the Bulls' overall defense is like that at the moment, and the whole team except for Butler and Noah basically has no such awareness.

It's not like Magic, under the leadership of Oladipo, they are willing to start defense.

So when it comes to the court, it becomes that the Bulls are suppressed by the Magic as a whole, and every time they attack, they have to spend a lot of effort, and when it is the turn of the Magic, they are easily like drinking saliva.

This was felt even by the fans in the stands, although the difference between the two teams was not very large.

In the first half of the third quarter, the Timberwolves suddenly felt cold, missed several consecutive offenses, and even had a dunk under Portis's basket, and the Magic took the opportunity to play a wave of 10-0 shockwaves.

Li Dong played the role of scoring consecutive points in this shockwave, and even completed a wonderful goal of folding layup after a breakthrough, and he was in surprisingly good shape.

The Bulls asked for a timeout, and Li Dong and his teammates high-fived and walked off the court.

Back on the field, Li Dong looked at Dunleavy, and Dunleavy no longer had the fierceness in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was really speechless for this famous college student in the United States, who was just a child who was spoiled by the media.

Dunleavy stopped talking sullenly, and couldn't say anything more, Li Dong had already scored 19 points on his head, and now the second half was only four minutes into the game.

Compared to himself, he has not yet scored double-digit points, but he has made so many shots, and when he was timed out, the head coach had already reminded him to pay attention to cooperating with his teammates.

"Blanton, you attack."

In front of the technical desk, Li Dong and Jennings said.

"Huh?" Jennings was a little puzzled.

"The Bulls' backup point guard has poor defense and lack of confrontation, so make more physical contact with him and find confrontation."

After Li Dong finished speaking, he hooked Jennings's shoulder with his big hand, "Boy, I'm in the bottom corner and outside the 45-degree three-point line, where am I the most accurate you know, waiting for you to divide the ball!" ”

"Don't worry." Jennings laughed, breaking through the ball is his forte.

……

In the end, they defeated the Chicago Bulls from afar.

……

After the game against the Bulls, the assistant coach sent over the itinerary for the following week.

"Playing the Suns at home on Saturday, the Warriors away on Tuesday, back-to-back away to the Lakers on Friday, and the Kings away on Saturday." Li Dong groped his chin, "Hey, the itinerary is very dense!" ”

"After playing the Kings on Saturday, it was back-to-back, away against the Trail Blazers, and then there were a few games in a row, and we would spend almost the next week going back and forth between East and West." Jennings pulled out the second itinerary and said.

Li Dong tilted his head and took a closer look, isn't that what he meant, so he has two weeks and can't go to Gainesville again, which is really not good news.

The good news is that agent Joe Thomas has finally heard the voice of the National Basketball Association.

In fact, this is a problem that has plagued the top management of the basketball association for a long time, and Li Dong, who suddenly popped out of the cracks in the stones, has become a key figure in the reform of China's basketball industry.

As early as when Li Dong made a big name in the NCAA, many fans proposed that Li Dong be included in the Chinese national team.

But in fact, the Chinese Basketball Association has been silent about it, as if they had never heard of this person.

Li Dong is too special.

He didn't graduate from a sports school, he played CUBA for a year at most, and when he went abroad to play NCAA as an exchange student, he wasn't as troublesome as the people trained by the Basketball Association, to put it bluntly, he was a free man, if it wasn't for playing basketball, he wouldn't have had any intersection with the Basketball Association.

But such a person has become one of the hottest stars in the NBA now.

The recruitment of the Chinese national team is conditional, not everyone can enter if they want to, just because Li Dong is not a nationally registered athlete, the Basketball Association has reason to turn Li Dong away.

But the problem is that the development of basketball needs the support of fans.

In today's increasingly enlightened world, basketball will no longer be a word, and if fans all over China support Li Dong, the Basketball Association will not be able to stand it.

After everything has been cleared, the final question is about the "cultivation fee".

When Yao Ming entered the NBA, the Basketball Association asked Yao Ming for training fees, and at the beginning he was ready to ask for 50% of his income, which once caused an uproar in the NBA. The NBA Players Guild claimed that it was a "robbery", and then after constant negotiation and bargaining, it was set at 5 percent after tax, but this is still a large amount.

Then Yao Ming also played in the CBA, and he was cultivated by the Basketball Association, and his roots are red. But what the hell is Li Dong? He doesn't have a relationship with the Basketball Association at all!

This made the Basketball Association very sad, and it was very uncomfortable to see such a large piece of cake in front of him but not be able to eat it. This is definitely part of the reason why the issue of Li Dong and the national team has dragged on for so long.

Joe Thomas is a China expert, and Li Dong made the right choice to make him an agent.

The Basketball Association can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the media can't close their eyes, and when Joe Thomas was negotiating with the spokesperson in China, he found a number of mainstream media, on the one hand, to announce Li Dong's intention to participate in the Chinese national team, and on the other hand, to encourage fans and media to put pressure on the Basketball Association.

Sure enough, with Li Dong's more and more brilliant performance in the NBA, this matter was completed without much effort.

Li Dong didn't expect it to end so simply, he thought it would drag on for a long time.

"Then I'm a national team player now?" Li Dong hasn't figured out the situation yet.

Joe Thomas said: "It's not that simple, now it's just a conversation with me, you are still a white body, how can you suddenly become a member of the national team." And there are no events this year, so you have to wait until the Rio Olympics in the summer to get into this door, dizzy, really troublesome. ”

Of course, Joe Thomas felt that it was troublesome, he thought that the Chinese Basketball Association was simply crazy, didn't he see people crying and shouting for some NBA players to join their national team, why did his own family members not be active at all.

"So that's the case, and now it's just the second phase of the list."

After listening to Joe Thomas's explanation, Li Dong realized that just like the United States team selects players from the national team, it will first pull up a large group of people, and then slowly delete the selection.

But Li Dong is still very happy, what a glorious thing it is to be able to serve the country!

After he and Joe Thomas ended the conversation, he shared the news with his parents as soon as possible, and Lao Li Lian said three "good" words, and asked Li Dong -

"You must train hard, listen to your coach more, and deal with your teammates more......"

……

When the outside world knew that Li Dong finally appeared in the second phase of the national team's list, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Some fans said: "It's really scared to death, I thought there would be no Li Dong in the national team, so how hung should our national team be, directly the Olympic champion!" ”

The domestic media stationed in Orlando approached Li Dong and asked the person concerned about his feelings.

Li Dong immediately smiled, "Of course, this is the happiest thing, everyone will be eager to play for the country, and the international arena is also a place to train people." For me, it is not only a test and challenge, but also a responsibility, and I will definitely work hard. ”

It's just that only Magic's head coach Scott Skeles has a bit of a complicated mind.

As the coach of the club, he wants the players to reduce the consumption of any games other than normal NBA games, and he is also worried about whether the backward training mechanism and equipment in China will have a bad effect on Li Dong's condition. As a friend of Li Dong, of course he understands Li Dong's mentality, professional players are a group of people with a sense of honor, and the better the player, the more eager to get honor.

This, both individually and collectively......
