Chapter 033 Rice Worms Also Have Spring

Mirisic picked up the ball in the crowd, yes, it was Milicic, in order to look at a few of the few big men on the team, the human cigar got a rare starting position, although it was only a preseason, but for Mirisic, such an opportunity is precious.

Rice Worm, who didn't dare to be greedy, passed the ball to Curry, and the reason why he called Mirisic Rice Worm was entirely because of some interesting talk before the game. Because they were going to play in China, the players who were in line with the local customs asked Li Chen, a Chinese expert, about some of the situation in China, and Li Chen naturally did not have the surname to explain slowly, and he asked for the surname to translate everyone's nickname into Chinese.

The others are normal, but when it was Mirisic's turn, because everyone was teammates, Li Chen thought of a more euphemistic nickname, didn't someone say that Mirisic was a big white worm before, just right, now it's called a rice worm, no matter what, it's much better than the insulting nickname of the human cigar.

Milicic is also competitive, because the last two days of training have been better, D'Antoni gave him a chance to start, even if the replaced David Lee has some gossip, but thinking that this is just a preseason game, he doesn't care much, just give this poor guy a little comfort.

Thinking about James, Anthony, Wade and others who have now become superstars, and then looking at the situation of Mirisic of his peers, David Lee is a little sympathetic, God seems to be really cruel to this white and chubby young man!

Curry received the pass and launched a fast attack non-stop, and Hughes had already rushed into the heart of the Nets one step ahead of him, and after receiving a long pass from his teammates, he made a steal and ended the offense with a violent dunk, and the scene resounded with cheers, obviously, the audience liked this kind of bloody goal.

"If you just noticed Hughes with a little more of your vision, that assist might be yours!" Li Chen whispered encouragement to Mirisic, "Of course, it's great to be able to pass to the point guard at the first time, maybe you can't become a superstar, but as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to find a position in New York!" ”

Mirisic nodded, "Well, I understand. Thank you, Cruz, I know I wouldn't have been able to get a start so easily if it wasn't for your assurances to the coach! It's just a pre-season game, but it's already wonderful! ”

Indeed, the reason why D'Antoni ignored David Lee's gossip, Li Chen's opinion was also one of the reasons, "Anyway, it's a preseason, give the benches some chances, maybe you can find something in him that the Knicks need!" ”

Mirisic's attitude was satisfying, and Li Chen smiled kindly, "Do you want to be more wonderful?" ”

"Is that okay?" The white and chubby Mr. Rice Worm will be skeptical of Li Chen's words, "You know, after sitting on the bench for a long time, sometimes I myself will doubt my strength!" ”

"Wait and see!" There was no time to say more, the Nets had already kicked off, and Li Chen hurried back to defend. "Darko, believe in yourself!"

Devin Harris wanted to bully the childish rookie in front of him, but the fact is that he has nothing to bully others except for fast dribbling, and after a few attempts, he found that there was no hope, and Hades turned to hand the ball to Yi Jian, considering that this is in China, Harris, as the boss of the tennis team, feels that he needs to give his Chinese little brother some opportunities to perform.

The fans at the scene waited with bated breath, how to say that they are also local players, how can there be any reason not to support them, even if the big white and chubby man who defended him does not look very easy to bully, but the audience still believes in Yi Di's strength. Fans familiar with the NBA also know that that seemingly strong interior line is actually just a big parallel commodity in the history of the league's draft.

However, after a short battle, people found out that the problem, Yi Di, who was deeply trusted by the fans, did not get rid of the parallel defense, and the flexible pace in the past seemed to be useless at this time, and his previous big killer in the CBA turned and jumped shot seemed to be useless.

Stuck in the water? After seeing this situation, some fans thought suspiciously, considering that Yi Di grew up in the humid south, the dry climate in the north would indeed have some impact. But it doesn't make sense that those lively Americans have no effect at all, and fans who like Yi Di can't figure it out.

In fact, Yi Di can't break through Mirisic's defense, which is normal. Although the rice worm is a parallel import, he is also from the top of the list, and the NBA's most influence on the big man's draft is physical fitness, isn't there a saying, technology is acquired, and the body is born, Mirisic can let the Pistons waste a list for him, naturally there is a reason for him.

One of the '03 draft favorites, Serbia's Mirisic is an all-rounder with nimble footwork and inside and out, and his dribbling, passing, and spot-up jumpers are enough to allow him to move freely between center and forward.

Jazz scout Darsing has said that if he had the No. 1 draft pick in his hands at the time, he would not hesitate to choose Milicic over LeBron James.

"Compared to LeBron, Darko is more capable and can play more positions on the court. He can play center, power forward, small forward. Does anyone know what LeBron can do with playmaking or shooting guard? Darko doesn't have as much pressure on him as LeBron, who doesn't have a $90 million sponsorship deal like the latter. There are only a handful of players on the draft list that can't be missed, and I think Darko is one of them. ”

Although it has now been proven that James can play any position on the team, it can also be seen from the words of professional NBA scouts how interesting Mirisic was when he transferred from the Europa League.

Compared with Yi Jianlian, Mirisic's movement is more flexible, his body is stronger, he has more experience in European leagues and NBA games for several years, and there is another thing that has to be mentioned, the perennial grinding time on the bench has allowed Mi Worm to practice a good defense while wasting his talent.

That said, the players who have spent time under Brown Sr. have defended well. Although it is not very tough, it is enough to deal with a player with a single offensive means like Yi Di.

A turnaround jumper from 8 feet out, Yi Di's unreliable shot made him a hit of iron. Li Chen, near the free throw line, jumped up and pocketed the rebound.

The Knicks were fast again, but this time the ball was in the hands of Mirisic, who had just shown a hand in the defense, and Mr. Rice Worm was only dangling to the 3-point line at the moment.

Because of the lack of playing opportunities, the players of the Nets did not pay much attention to this mascot-like player before the game, so that when Mirisic stepped on the three-point line, no one in the Nets even remembered that this thing could still shoot three-pointers!

Believe in yourself! Mi Worm thought about what Li Chen had said, calmed down and adjusted his pace, and he pushed the ball out smoothly.

Swish! Who can remember that Mirisic's original template was Nowitzki!

"Well done!" Li Chen and his younger brother clapped their hands, "Go on!" ”

Back defensively, Mirisic's defense once again deflated Yi Di, who gave the ball back to Harris considering the previous iron.

Hades shook his head, since you don't cherish the opportunity, then you can't complain, after speeding up and flashing half of Curry's body, Harris jumped.

Bang! The crisp sound made the Hades who were waiting for the audience to cheer for themselves very disappointed, such a ball did not score, and his luck was a little weak!

Switching offense and defense, Li Chen once again held the ball on the three-point line. Bobby Simmons was wary of the lazy-looking guy, and although he hadn't played a few rounds yet, the previous indifferent pass and the string of names on the opponent were already reminiscent of the guy's power.

Left and left, and again, Li Chen carried the ball very casually, the opponent's small short hand and the not very strict defense in the preseason made his dribbling a little arbitrary, seeing Mirisic walking to the position, Li Chen suddenly accelerated.

Bobby Simmons thought that the opponent was going to break through, so he hurriedly followed sideways, but at this time, Li Chen's ball was gone, because of the length of his hand, in the gap between Simmons's sideways, Li Chen had already grabbed the ball with one hand and crossed Simmons, using his fingers and wrist strength, a ground pass, and the basketball rebounded to Mirisic's side.

Although it looks a little gorgeous, in fact, Li Chen himself knows that the preseason is a preseason after all, and if he wants to change the regular season, it is basically impossible to play such a move, because it is impossible for the defender to allow him to make the kind of free and flawed dribble before, otherwise the person will not have to mix.

Mi Worm took the basketball with his hand, and then turned around and hooked his hand very smoothly, and he was so lucky that he went into the net again.

With two attacks, Mirisic has already scored five points. In fact, today God and Li Chen seem to be willing to fulfill this young man who has been disappointed for a long time, Terrence Williams' pass was so good that Mirisic was broken, he just happened to reach out, and it turned out to be really shit luck.

In the Knicks' next offense, Mirisic fully explained the reason why he was selected as the star of the show, skillful dribbling ensured that he smoothly dribbled the ball to the opponent's basket, and the better speed compared to the same position helped him successfully get rid of the slow-moving Lopez, and finally, the power that can be competent in the C position allowed him to successfully get rid of the interference of Yi Jianlian behind him and dunk the ball into the basket.

Rumble! The ball goes in, the whistle blows! Mirisic's roar resounded over the five pines, and the guy from Serbia and Montenegro hadn't tasted such glory for a long time.

Li Chen's words are concise and clear: Feng Shui takes turns, and rice worms also have spring!

Nets coach Lawrence Frank called a timeout symbolically, and the showy Mirisic swaggered to the bench.

"Well, Marcus, I said I'd break out!" Because of Thorton's good performance in recent games, Mirisic has been a little nervous, because the opponent can be so strong with a second-round pick, and it would be a failure if he didn't show his former leader, although no one in the Knicks has mentioned this, but in fact, Mirisic has always been very concerned about others mentioning his draft pick.

"Yes, but one thing you have to know, except for the last ball, a large part of the first two goals are the credit of Cruze, that kind of ball, you just let Marven come to throw!"

Thorton's Marvin is one of the players who came to the Knicks to spar a few days ago, because he is fat and heavy, so he left a little impression on everyone, the only thing that is commendable is the protection of rebounding, with his greasy body, people with a slightly worse mind will automatically walk away.

"Isn't there another ball?" Li Chen said, "I just thought that Darko Magic was possessed, the dribble was gorgeous, I was ashamed of myself, and the last dunk, a real amazing dunk!" ”

"Hey, thank you, Cruz!" Mi Worm rubbed his head, of course he would not forget Li Chen's encouragement and help.

As the boss, Li Chen did this completely just a temporary move, simply put, he suddenly overflowed with sympathy, "If you really want to thank me, train more seriously in the future, go to nightclubs less, talk about a decent girlfriend, put basketball first, the United States is a real society, lose basketball, you are nothing!" ”

Li Chen's lecture on Mirisic made D'Antoni listen to it with relish, and the old guy teased Li Chen, "Cruze, how can you make me believe that you are a little ghost who has only turned 20 years old, what you just said is almost like making people mistakenly think that you are the character of Uncle Darko!" ”

Saying that, D'Antoni began to imitate Li Chen's appearance just now, and he said to his beloved disciple seriously, "David, the United States is a realistic society, put basketball first, because without basketball, you are nothing!" ”

There was a burst of laughter on the Knicks' bench, and the little potato stepped on the bench, "Cruz, take out your ID card, I highly suspect that you lied about your age, I bet you're at most as tall as me when you're 20!" ”
