Chapter 157: This has never been a problem
"Without a doubt, I'm the number one point guard in Asia. [Full text reading]"
After the game, Li Guanyu said in an interview with reporters that his speaking style continued his arrogant style as always.
"Who is not convinced? Who has an opinion? ”
At the end, Li Guanyu calmly asked a rhetorical question. Through the transmission of the camera, in less than a day, almost all Asian basketball fans learned of this overbearing declaration.
However, even if Li Guanyu's words were so arrogant and outrageous that they were outrageous, no basketball player dared to jump out and say: I am not convinced! I have an opinion.
"Lee is the strongest in Asia, there's no doubt about that." Asia's No. 1 small forward Baharami said with a lonely face in front of the media that he is close to the strength of the NBA marginal people, and he knows very well how big the gap between himself and Li Guanyu is.
"Through video analysis, none of the ten I am the opponent of Guanyujun. He's the pride of Asians, he has what it takes to play as a first-choice point guard on any team in the NBA, and I'm very optimistic about his prospects with the Golden State Warriors. Moreover, injuries last season didn't seem to hurt him too much, and the only question now is whether he can keep it that way, after all, he's a man without ligaments. Finally, I sincerely hope that Guanyujun will continue to rise in the NBA. Asia's first point guard to enter the NBA, Tian Yongwotai, openly admitted that he was far behind Li Guanyu.
"Is there any doubt about him being the No. 1 point guard in Asia?" Yao Ming asked in horror when he was interviewed by CCTV, he didn't think there was any doubt about Li Guanyu's words.
The players have no opinion, and the fans naturally do not object, and they don't even have the heart to argue. The only minor opinion is that Li Guanyu is too high-profile and does not fit the Chinese golden mean.
Due to Li Guanyu's efforts to turn the tide in the last ten minutes of the Asian Championships, the sales of the second generation of Proud Immortal immediately soared. And the United States has also begun to list the Golden State Warriors as a playoff-level team in the new season, which is undoubtedly a very positive affirmation for this team that has only made the playoffs once in 15 years. (The only time I entered, I took a black eight!) And the Golden State media, which was originally dismissive of Li Guanyu, also began to gradually change its wording, and Li Guanyu's identity gradually shifted from the initial oil bottle to the X factor that affected the team. Yes, the Yankees are still not at ease with Li Guanyu's injury, after all, people without ligaments still have one less protective layer than ordinary people, and the probability of injury will increase much.
After wandering around China for a month and a half, searching for no trace of Xue Mad in the major famous mountains and rivers, he returned to the United States with Xue Xue. Back in the United States, Li Guanyu joined the Warriors' training camp for the first time, and it was September 27.
As soon as he entered the training camp, Li Guanyu found a few old friends. Anthony Randolph, Stephen Curry, and Asilao, who was completely blown out by himself last season.
"Hey, Lee, I didn't expect to be teammates with you." This sentence was the first thing the three of them said after seeing Li Guanyu.
And Li Guanyu's answer was very simple: "Isn't this already already?" Follow me in the future! ”
Li Guanyu's second half of the sentence was extremely natural, as if he came here to be the boss. And these three people did not contradict, Stephen Curry is a rookie, and he is still an old acquaintance with Li Guanyu, and he knows how powerful Li Guanyu is. Anthony Randolph benefited Li Guanyu many times in the training camp, as for Asilao, what Li Guanyu said, does he dare to have an opinion?
Although the three of them had no opinion on Li Guanyu's dominance, Montaelis was full of opinions. After so many years of carrying shoes behind a group of big brothers with Byron Davis, it is finally time to take the position, and it is occupied by such an outsider who occupies the leadership position, who will be happy? And on top of that, the outsider also broke one of his teeth.
In the morning, the training camp was calm. But in the afternoon, during the team's training match, Montaellis's long-stored anger finally exploded.
I don't know what Nelson's intention was to put Li Guanyu, Monta Ellis, Corry Magetti, Stephen Jackson, and Anthony Randolph on the first team, and most importantly, Li Guanyu is still a point guard.
Judging from the full-field drill, Li Guanyu integrated very quickly, threaded the needle very smoothly, and the team was far ahead. But he refused to pass the basketball to the leader of Montaellis, and under his command, Montaellis became a Ranger-like character.
Montaelis is used to holding the ball, and he will not adapt to it for a while. So while the other four on the team played extremely eye-catching, he played quite badly - shooting iron, making layups, and making mistakes.
Towards the end of the game, Montaelis, who was completely out of the rhythm of his team, finally went berserk. I saw him rush directly to Li Guanyu and shout loudly: "Give me the damn ball, outsider." ”
“no!” Li Guanyu's answer was simple and calm. The roaring Montaelis was no different from an ant in his eyes, so he didn't need to be moved.
"Who do you think you are? Can you please figure it out, the Golden State Warriors are my team? Montaellis continued to growl, and judging by his bruised neck, he was very anxious to tell Li Guanyu that it was not your turn to call the shots here.
"So what?" Li Guanyu smiled slightly, still disapproving.
"Give me the ball!" Montaelis roared loudly, he hated Li Guanyu's pampered appearance, as if he was under control.
Li Guanyu glanced at his eyes, his eyes were very calm and stared at the thunderous Montaellis, and said softly: "I'm a point guard, I don't give it, you can't ask me." Got it? ”
"......" was so looked at by Li Guanyu that Montaellis didn't know how to answer for a while. In terms of momentum, the violent Montaelis is not one or two points behind Li Guanyu. At most, he is a general who charges into battle, and Li Guanyu is undoubtedly a handsome talent who strategizes and decides for thousands of miles.
Seeing this scene, the motionless old Nelson on the sidelines couldn't help but show a smile. Then he walked over slowly, pulled Li Guanyu, and said, "You come to my office." ”
Yes, old Nelson didn't mean to interfere with the two people's struggle for leadership, in his opinion, if Li Guanyu couldn't handle this little thing, it wouldn't be worthy of his appreciation.
"Hmm!"
Li Guanyu nodded and followed old Nelson into the office. Leaving Montaelis to sulk - what does this old man mean? Is it to help the newcomer suppress me?
Montaelis sulked, and the other players looked at each other, they were also confused by Nelson Sr.'s ambiguous behavior, could it be that Nelson Sr. was really determined to support Li Guanyu, who had no ligaments, as a leader player?
Back in the office, after the two sat down facing each other, the elder Nelson asked bluntly, "Tell me, how do you want to pinch the team?" ”
"Monta is very fast and has a lot of mid-range projection. He'll be my vanguard, and I'm going to make him a dangerous drop of blood, and every time I throw him, I'll bring bloody kills to my opponents. As for Corey (Margety), he's a very efficient wing scorer, and his foul prowess and efficiency will bring many benefits to the offensive end in regular time. Stephen, on the other hand, is a scorer with a very wide range and I would give him 30 percent of the ball. Inside, Turyaf can provide us with high-quality pick-and-rolls, and Biedrins can give us a strong rebound in the backcourt. Li Guanyu spoke eloquently, without ambiguity, which was the result of watching the Warriors' video highlights every night.
After listening to Li Guanyu's analysis, Old Nelson nodded again and again, very pleased. Then he said, "Okay, I'll replace Stephen as soon as possible." ”
"Huh?" When Li Guanyu heard this, he was immediately confused, and said, "Replace Stephen Jackson?" Why? ”
"Because you're going to give him 30 per cent of the ball." Nelson Sr. replied firmly: "Moreover, he has been involved in transfers more than once. ”
"Oh!" Li Guanyu nodded, and said no more, whether Stephen Jackson left or not basically didn't have much impact on him.
"You go on, how about the bench?" Nelson Sr. continued to shift the conversation to the lineup.
"Azubuuk is a very good outside shooter and he can use his size to dominate the small wingers of the opposition, and he can play as the sixth man. As for Stephen, he's also a terrifying outside three-pointer, and his style is similar to mine, and if I'm not on the floor, he can take my place by a certain margin. Watson is also a very good outside shooter. As for Morrow, I think if Stephen moves, he can be a substitute for the receiver lineup, and his shooting ability and shooting after blocking will make me feel more at home. Li Guanyu continued to analyze, he knows his teammates very deeply, to be honest, he feels that the Warriors are more suitable for his own play than the Miami Heat.
"That's... What about Anthony Randolph and Asilao? Nelson Sr. asked.
"Anthony will be my empty receiver because of his reach and agility to bring dynamism to the team. As for Asilao, I think he can trade. Li Guanyu said truthfully.
"Hmm!" Old Nelson nodded, he was very satisfied with Li Guanyu's answers. After a pause, he continued to ask, "You said so many teammates, so what do you think you should do?" ”
"Passing, defending and rebounding. I'm not going to score this season, as you know, there are so many scorers on the team, as long as I get a good fit, it doesn't matter if I can't shoot or not. Li Guanyu smiled: "This season, I want to carve out the best skills beyond scoring. ”
"So... Did you come to Golden State just to practice your defensive and passing skills? Old Nelson raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.
was asked by old Nelson, Li Guanyu did not deny it, and said with a smile: "In fact, there are also skills in grabbing rebounds." ”
"Hahaha!" Nelson Sr. laughed and said, "Whatever you want, I might only be in Golden State for one season anyway." ”
"Huh!" Li Guanyu accompanied him with a smile, and the two tacitly agreed.
After a few small talks, Li Guanyu got up to say goodbye, and when he went out, old Nelson suddenly asked again: "How do you plan to deal with the relationship with Monta?" ”
"It's never been a problem." Li Guanyu tilted his head and smiled confidently.
