However, the Demon King's super self-control ability made him quickly calm down, and he talked eloquently in front of the camera: "We played a beautiful attack in today's game, and relatively speaking, the attack of the Beijing Ducks is not a great threat to us, so we won this game very easily." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"We have the best CBA forward in China--- Nicks, and we don't have to worry about whether the ball can go to the basket or not, and I think there is nothing more enjoyable than being a point guard."

"It's only my first race in Huaxia, so I can't predict what the results will be in Shanghai this year. We're strong, though! Saying this, Dawn put his arm around Nick Anthony, "With Nick as our leader, we are full of confidence in this year's playoffs." After saying that, he gave the camera to Nick Anthony.

……

In the audience, Coach Liu and Xiaoxue couldn't help but settle down when they watched Liming's skillful and sleek response to reporters. Coach Liu said: "In the evening, I called Liming to come out to celebrate his first win in China. Xiaoxue, you can come along. ”

"Hmm!" Xiaoxue nodded slightly, "Call King and Shan Qin." ”

Coach Liu smiled and said, "They will come without me calling." King is a big Sharks fan, and I think they must be watching the game somewhere in the audience today. ”

At 107:90, the Xinsai Sharks subdued the Beijing Ducks, a powerhouse in the same league, with a score of 100 in the first game. The news didn't immediately cause much of a stir in the CBA, only a note on the Sharks' victory. However, when the media reported the real game in full a few days later, the Sharks immediately became the most high-profile team in the first week of preseason. "Half a game decides the winner", "three quarters lead by thirty points", "fourth quarter of garbage time." "Either headline is shocking enough.

When did the Big Sharks get so strong?

It's not common for a CBA game to break 100 scores. A CBA game is only forty minutes, and the level of CBA players is not as good as that of NBA professional players after all, and young players are easily affected by various factors, and the performance of the game is up and down. Moreover, the CBA pays more attention to defensive tactics than the NBA, joint defense, and packing, which are tactics that are not often used in NBA games, and almost every CBA team can master them skillfully and use them in the game. All of these factors add up to make it uncommon for CBA games to break 100 high scores.

Uncommon is not uncommon, and a score of 100 to subdue the opponent is not enough to shock other teams. But after really understanding the process of the game and understanding the performance of the Big Sharks team, all the strong teams sighed: This year's Shanghai Beijing Duck team is menacing! Any team aiming to win a championship will have to face the threat of the Sharks this year – and of course, no one has dared to underestimate the Sharks, who have one of the best forwards in the CBA, Nick Anthony, in the past two years.

The best striker in China, Nick Anthony, G13 who has beaten the likes of Team USA and others, either of these two has the ability to change the outcome of the game. What kind of chemical effect will be produced when these two people are united is something that no opponent dares to underestimate. Many of the team's head coaches have included the two in their training plans after watching the game footage.

That night, a restaurant in Columbia City.

"Cheers!" Five men and women around a table toast each other. These five people are naturally Dawn and the others.

After King raised his head and drank a glass of beer, he took a long breath and said, "Good wine, enjoyable." But it's not as enjoyable as today's game. Dawn's performance today was really beautiful. As he spoke, he grabbed the bottle and filled it to himself.

Dawn put down the wine glass that had only drunk a small half, and said, "It's that the opponent is too weak." ”

King smiled: "Those members of the Beijing Duck team don't know what their expressions will be if they hear your words. It's not that the Beijing Ducks are too weak, it's that this year's big sharks are too strong. Compared with last year, this year's main lineup in Shanghai is almost just one more you, and it has become so strong. Dawn, you're amazing. ”

Li Ming said modestly: "This is not my credit, it should be the proper tactics taught by Coach Hu, and the foundation of a few main players left over from last year, the team will have such rapid progress." As for whether it has really become a lot stronger, it is not certain, and the opponent in today's game is too weak to count. ”

King said: "Everyone here is my own people, and Zhou Jie and I are not laymen, so you don't need to be modest." I've been a big shark fan since I came to China, and I don't know what the team's strength was in the past? The strength of the team has risen to a new level this year. If luck and strength have reached the quarterfinals in the past two years, this year's Big Sharks have the strength to compete for the championship. Dawn, you play hard, and when I have time, I will be there to cheer you on every game. ”

Shan Qin chirped: "Just drank a little wine and talked nonsense, in the future, the dawn competition venues will be all over half of China, can you cheer for every game?" ”

King said: "If you can't be there, then give it a discount, and I'll cheer you on in front of the TV." ”

Dawn smiled: "Then thank you King, I toast you." He stood up with his glass in his hand.

"Okay, I can't afford to give the face of dawn." King Hao raised his wine glass, "Dang!" The two clinked glasses and leaned back to the sky to drink, and the cup was dry.

Xiaoxue next to her said with concern: "You still have training tomorrow, doesn't it matter if you drink?" ”

Dawn said: "It's okay, a few beers shouldn't matter." Even if you're a professional athlete, you can sometimes spice up with a drink. Alcohol is also a great drink as long as it is not excessive. After the wine glass was refilled, he picked up the wine glass again and said to Coach Liu: "Zhou Jie, I also toast you." ”

Coach Liu smiled and said, "I will definitely drink this glass of wine you toast." But now you sit down first, it's easy to get drunk if you get too drunk. ”

Dawn put down the wine glass and sat down again, saying, "Send the wine for now." After a pause, he changed the topic and said, "I have been in Shanghai for so long, and today is the most happy meal." For more than 20 days, I either stayed in the dormitory to solve the three meals a day, or went to the dining hall alone. It's a pleasure to be able to sit down around a table with your compatriots and talk together. ”

King smiled, "Are you homesick?" ”

Dawn smiled slightly and said calmly: "I was right by King." ”

Xiao Xue, who was sitting on the side, had a trace of gloom on her face at this time, and took a sip of her own glass with her own eyes. Shan Qin saw it in his eyes and hurriedly said: "A few big men are sitting together, can't they talk about anything other than talking about women?" Dawn, I went to watch today's game, and you will definitely go to the NBA in the future. ”

"Definitely, that's the temple for everyone who wants basketball. But first I get a little glory in the CBA. ”

Coach Liu said: "You should go to the NCAA to workout, not in the CBA, there are too few people who can stay. ”

"But there will still be people who stay, and people who really like basketball and want to win will make the CBA championship their goal to conquer. Compared with the NBA, the Chinese CBA is pure Chinese basketball. Our team's Nick Anthony would have been the top five picks in the first round if he had been drafted last year, but he stayed. ”

King also put away the joking expression on his face and said, "There are benefits to staying." However, with Nick Anthony's strength, entering the NBA a year late is a loss of hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars, which is not a temptation that everyone can refuse. He's pretty remarkable. For this, if he is here now, he deserves my toast. ”

Coach Liu asked Liming, "Do you think so too?" ”

Dawn nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I think so too." Nick was one of the first teammates I met when I came to Shanghai, and he was also a friend of mine. He's pretty good by the standards of his friends and teammates. ”

"That's why you don't want to steal the limelight from him?"

Dawn was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

Coach Liu took a sip of his wine glass and said, "In the first half of today's game, you only scored four points with free throws, and you didn't make a single shot. In the third quarter, when Nick Anthony wasn't on the floor, you scored 15 points in 10 minutes. You're definitely not under Nick Anthony in terms of attacking power, and I can't think of any reason why you were so quiet in the first half. ”

Liming smiled and said, "So Zhou Jie thinks so?" I had seven assists in the first half, which is a super playmaker's statistic, so how can that be considered a silence? ”

"If it's not silent, but no one who plays basketball doesn't like to score offensively. With your ability, it's impossible to go without a shot, even in a point guard position. Don't make excuses to prevaricate me, you know I'm not a layman either. ”

Dawn said: "How dare you. It's just that Brother Zhou Jie, you really have some misunderstandings. You and I both know that there are many kinds of point guards, some people give first priority to their own offense, and some people give first priority to passing assists, just like Iverson and Keed, and no one can say for sure which is the real way of playing point guards. At point guard, I'm the type of person who doesn't take the initiative to score when it's not necessary. In the first half, all four of my team-mates were top scorers, and when the ball was passed, it was a good opportunity, so I naturally chose to pass it. In the third quarter, four of my teammates were replaced by four bench players. When their attack is blocked, I should have stepped up and scored. After attracting the opponent's defense with his own attack, other teammates will naturally have opportunities. Although they were two completely different styles of play, they were the right choice for me in the situation. ”

Coach Liu shook his head: "Although this is a very reasonable statement, I can't accept it. Every basketball player starts learning basketball with the goal of putting a basketball into the basket. From this aspect, it can be said that every basketball player is full of offensive desire in his bones. Only when there is an offensive desire will he temper his offensive talent, and many times the size of a player's offensive ability is directly proportional to the amount of his offensive desire. If you're just a playmaker who prioritizes passing and assisting, you wouldn't be as offensive as you are today. If someone else has the quality of you, the first half of today's game will definitely not be like you. So let's change the explanation. ”

King chimed in, "If Dawn doesn't want to say it, don't say it." But my point of view is the same as that of Zhou Jie. The other two girls also watched Dawn. 、

Dawn smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like this, you look at me like this makes me feel like a bastard who is deceived and deceitful." I'll admit that maybe there was a little bit of a lack of wanting to steal the limelight from Nick, but it was definitely not the main reason. The main reason for studying in China is to play basketball. With my size, I'm basically positioned as a guard on the basketball court in the future. Whether it's a point guard or a shooting guard, passing assists are quite important. After coming to Shanghai, the team positioned me as a point guard, so naturally I took the first priority of honing my offensive and organizational skills, and today's game was an opportunity to practice. As for the offense, I don't think I need to score as many points against an opponent like this to prove anything. ”

King laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's so small, crazy enough, confident enough, and arrogant enough." With your ability, you naturally don't need to prove yourself against an opponent like the Beijing Ducks. Haha, I like your explanation. ”

Coach Liu also smiled dumbly and said, "It seems that I am smart, and I underestimate you." You've completely outpaced the CBA and are looking to the future of NBA basketball. The other two girls also stared at Dawn with smiles on their faces.

Dawn was stunned, and the action of picking up the wine glass and drinking to hide the heat on his face.

After laughing, Coach Liu said, "Although you are doing a good job at point guard now, I always believe that you are a natural scoring guard, and offensive scoring is your nature." What you're saying isn't the main reason, and I don't think it's as unimportant as you think. On a different team, you're still a point guard, and your teammates aren't Nick Anthony and Loulan, do you think you'll still be like today's game? Probably not! ”

"Nick and Loulan are already quite seniors this year and are likely to participate in the NBA draft next year. In addition to the team's record, the most important thing for them is their individual technical statistics. I wish I could help them. ”

Coach Liu nodded secretly, originally he wanted to say, "There can only be one core of the team." But now he didn't think it was necessary. At least not for now. Raise your glass to Dawn and say, "Dawn, cheers!" ”

"Dang!" "Cheers!"

......

After Dawn returned home, he received a strange call across the ocean, and after Dawn answered the phone, the whole person was very excited, his eyes were shining, and the whole person became much more powerful.

In the subsequent game, because of the relationship between Liming and Nick, the Sharks broke through all the way and got the ticket to the playoffs, and at the same time, the NBA Warriors also announced the mid-season reinforcement list at Sino-Ocean, and the name of Liming was on the list, which aroused the attention of countless Chinese people.

In the middle of March, the CBA's North Division playoffs kicked off. Big Sharks vs Avengers.

The Avengers belong to the CBA North Division. This is an area of the CBA, and the teams that have survived under the iron hooves of the Beijing Ducks show how strong the Avengers are. Achilli, the ace of the team, does have the capital to be arrogant.

When the game started, apart from the fans of both sides, the local crowd was quite limited. The gymnasium, which can accommodate 10,000 people, is still half empty. Zhou Jie and King all sat closest to the court. When the two teams were regular, Dawn clearly heard someone calling his name in Chinese, and the two were sitting behind his bench, smiling and waving the air stick in their hands to him.

"Come on, Dawn!" "Come on!" Two men stood up and raised their right palms. Dawn smiled and raised her fists, fists clapping together, everything was silent.

The sharp-eyed reporter caught this scene with the camera in his hand flashing "click, click".

After the players on both sides were regular, the warm-up began. On the side of the court, Dawn, who was shooting and warming up, clearly felt that a burning gaze was watching him behind him. Turn around, Achille!

Dawn smiled, shrugged and turned back. Achille, what a never-ending death!

Mario grabbed the basketball and whispered, "That guy has been watching you since the beginning." ”

Dawn glared at him, "It's not that you're in trouble. ”

Mario smiled: "I caused the trouble, but the target of others is you." Don't weaken the majesty of our big shark. ”

Liming raised his hand and threw the basketball in his hand to the basket, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, you still have to worry about yourself." Later, when the tactics are arranged, the coach will most likely arrange for you to keep an eye on Achilli. ”

"Me?"

"That guy is a head taller than me, such a thankless task, do you think the coach will let me do it as a tactical core?"

Mario was arrogant: "Come on, who is afraid of whom." ”

The warm-up is over and the game begins. Sure enough, as Dawn expected, the player Smith sent to guard Achilli was Mario, who was of the same height and size.

Soon Mario learns what it means to be an enemy. During the game, Achilli saw that it was the imp who used to mock him when he was defending him, and the murderous look in his eyes made Dawn, who was watching from the side, worry about Mario.

Neither side gave it their all at the start of the game. The point guards of both teams control the tempo, and both players are cautiously testing each other.

In addition to point guard Aquiri, the starting team of the Avengers basketball team is a big black player Yi Xue, a tall and thin black young man at the center position, and a small forward Yi Dong. Dawn's opponent is Avengers point guard Innan, a small white player. A height of 190 cm is not short, but an Avenger with an average height of more than 197 cm can only be a "small man".

A team that can stand out in the North Division, where there are many strong teams, is definitely not to be underestimated. A team that can squeeze into the playoffs in the CBA is even stronger.

Although he doesn't seem to take Achille's provocation to heart, Dawn does not take his opponents lightly, and never underestimates them. There must be a reason why a strong team is a strong team. It's like the big shark has Nick Anthony, there's Loulan, there's Dawn. Although Achille is the ace of the team, with his irascible and irritable personality, it is hard to believe that the Avengers can get to where they are today without the checks and balances and assistance of strong teammates. Yi Xue, Yi Crazy, Yi Dong, Yi Nan, each of these four people is not an idle character.

Especially, this Yi Nan in front of him. With a height of one hundred and ninety centimeters, his body is not particularly strong, his speed is not particularly fast, his jump is not particularly high, and his appearance is not particularly outstanding, such a person can only be described as ordinary. But Dawn instinctively sensed the danger of the opponent from the opponent's sudden change of direction and receiving the ball several times.

Dawn's mind flashed the opponent's information: "Yi Nan, a second-year Avengers player, is one hundred and ninety tall and weighs eighty kilograms. Until last year, he was on the bench at the Avengers. After being promoted to the second year, he gradually established himself as the main player in the team...... "This kind of resume is really ordinary among players. Ninety percent of the players in the CBA are role players, and 90 percent of the players are in their sophomore year before they get a chance to play on the team.

Is Inam also such a role player?

But Dawn didn't believe it!

For five minutes after the start of the game, the game was moving smoothly. The big shark here controls the ball at dawn, and the positional attack relies on the team's active large-scale passing to create opportunities, Anthony and Sun Dianying are still the sharp knives of the big shark's attack, and they shot and hit.

Achille on the Avengers' side has the ball. Although he experienced the same episode as yesterday, he still showed the demeanor of a strong team ace after the game started. Calmly and calmly control the rhythm of the team's attack, and break through to the inside when he sees the opportunity. Managed to break through Mario several times in a row. Whenever he succeeds in his breakthroughs, the inside of the big shark is always in chaos. Or share the ball, or attack on their own, the Avengers always have an easy chance to shoot. The Sharks' defensive tactics are combined with man-to-man defense, and Mario is just as he knows it: he can't stand alongside Achille for the time being.

In the five minutes that the time was on, both sides made changes in unison. After the Avengers coach on the sidelines stood up and waved his hand, the pace of the Avengers on the court quickly increased.

Achilli rushed over with the ball, and the other players quickly moved to cut into the Sharks' defensive lineup. Mario stepped forward to intercept Achille, and after Dawn's gaze quickly swept over the court, he immediately dropped his defensive teammate and stepped forward to help defend the bag, raising his right hand high to block Achilli's shot, and blocking Achilli's pass to Inan with his left hand. Anthony, who was defending on the inside, shifted to cover at the same time to make up for the gap left by Dawn. (To be continued.) )
