For the next two days, Li Tian, who did not compete, soaked in the training hall to familiarize himself with the changes brought about by the increase in body speed.

In addition to trying to attack occasionally with the ball before, Li Tian also used the increased speed to his off-ball running, although in the movement when there is cover, such speed is not obvious, but in the start and the last moment to shake off the defense, the speed increase is undoubtedly more beneficial to Li Tian.

While training and getting familiar with his body, Li Tian's attention gradually began to focus on the next game, which was against Charlotte Bobcats.

This is a team that is not very strong, the record is not as good as the Kings, and there are no too good stars in the team, and the reason why Li Tian is so concerned is purely because of one person, Michael Kidd Gilchrist.

In the summer league, the two had a brief encounter, and Gilchrist tasted hardships under Li Tian, but at that time, Li Tian was actually inferior to the other party in terms of real strength.

However, it is obviously not the same now, after the iron book has been unsealed for five pages, Li Tian's strength has been greatly improved, and at this time, if he is against the other party, even if he doesn't use those radical methods, just a real duel, Li Tian is confident enough to suppress the opponent.

In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Li Tian did not play, and in the next game, Li Tian did not mind teaching the guy who once spoke wildly and claimed to be a future rising star an unforgettable lesson.

Before that, Li Tian felt as if he should do something else, such as making a phone call to the other party.

The night before the game, Li Tian dialed Gilchrist's phone, and speaking of which, this number was left by Li Tian when the other party called to satirize. Li Tian subconsciously still looked forward to one day being able to fight back and return a tooth for a tooth.

"Chinese boy, are you afraid of the next game, so you called and begged for mercy?"

As soon as the call was answered, Gilchrist's mocking voice came, such a voice was no stranger to Li Tian, and on the day he lost the election, such a voice had left a deep impression on Li Tian.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Li Tian retorted in a faint voice: "I really feel sorry for your stupidity and arrogance, begging for mercy?" After knowing my recent performance, that's probably what you do. ”

"Hey, boy, do you really think you're good? Tomorrow night, I'll beat you back to square one! On the other end of the phone, Gilchrist snorted coldly.

"Why does that sound so familiar?" Li Tian pretended to be extremely puzzled and said, "Oh, I remember, before the start of the summer league, it seems that someone used to say this, but ...... Tsk, I was sent off in the first summer league game, which is probably the first time that a second-round player has done this, and it's really a record. ”

"Boy, I'm ......"

"Don't say those cruel words, look at the video of the King's recent games, think about how to defend me, don't let me be too easy in the game, otherwise, it will be too boring." Without giving Gilchrist a chance to say that nonsense again, Li Tian smiled lightly, and that confident and contemptuous tone undoubtedly made Gilchrist sneer again.

"Shit, boy, who do you think you are?"

"Of course I'm just a draft loser, but it's enough to abuse you well in the game." Li Tian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he continued: "Get ready to relive the nightmare again in Charlotte." ”

"Arrogant boy, I'll kill you......" Before hanging up the phone, Li Tian could vaguely hear the other party yelling, but he didn't bother to listen.

Hanging up Gilchrist's phone, Li Tian thought about it, and dialed the phone number of the ** female reporter Su Yan again.

"Reporter Su University, are you interested in doing an interview?" After Su Yan answered the phone, he explained his intention straightforwardly.

Su Yan was obviously surprised by this, and she asked in surprise on the other end of the phone, "Now?" ”

"Yes, now. Don't worry, you don't have to come to me, you don't have to be afraid that I'm going to do you badly or anything, it's just a phone call, I'm just interested in giving my opinion on the next game. ”

Li Tian's smiling voice made Tang Yan a little embarrassed, she was indeed a little strange that Li Tian asked her to interview so late just now, and she didn't have such a thought in her heart.

However, Tang Yan was a reporter after all, so he quickly adjusted, and said with a smile: "Someone took the initiative to send the news, of course I couldn't ask for it." ”

Li Tian and Tang Yan's phone call didn't last long, not long after the conversation between the two, a news report appeared on the homepage of **.com.

"Li Tian questioned Jordan's draft vision, saying that the list eye show was overrated, and if he was re-elected, the ranking would not be as good as himself"

Originally, when domestic fans saw such a news, they thought that this was another report made up by the editor based on their own speculation, but when they clicked in to read it, they found that it was written in the report that this was Li Tian's original words.

"Michael Jordan has once again shown the world that while he's a king on the basketball court, he always has a bad eye on the draft. Michael Jordan drafted a guy named Michael last summer, but it was clear that he didn't deserve to be drafted by the Bobcats, a heavily overrated player. If I were to be redrafted now, I don't think the guy named Michael would be in that position again, even if I were to be higher in the pick. ”

After deliberately indicating that this was Li Tian's original words, such a report immediately aroused discussion among domestic fans.

"Is this what Li Tian said? Chinese players generally don't say that, I guess it may be the editor making it up again. ”

"Jordan's draft vision is really not good, and that list is really not good."

"It seems that Li Tian's recent performance has made Li Tian full of confidence, I hope not to be proud, if you really want to re-elect Li Tian's draft order, it should not exceed the other party."

In the discussion, there were those who questioned the editor, those who supported Li Tian's statement, and those who also questioned Li Tian, but in general, Li Tian was not attacked much in such a discussion, because the Bobcats did not have many fans in China, and for Jordan's draft vision, under the coverage of the domestic media, most fans maintained a skeptical attitude.

However, in the United States, because of Li Tian's request, Tang Yan broke the news of this interview to local reporters in the United States through her network, and Li Tian's remarks attracted a large number of criticisms as soon as they were published.

"Li Tian? Who is this guy? I've never heard the name? He even said that he was ranked better than Michael Gilchrist, did he think he could be the top pick? ”

"He's such an arrogant guy, and I don't see any potential for him other than shooting."

"Michael's draft vision is really not great, and he should have selected Damian Lillard with the second pick, but why did the undrafted Chinese player make such a statement?"

"It's a shameless hype, and in the pitch, it's about quality rather than topic."

Amid the scepticism of the fans, some media outlets have joined in the scepticism, such as Michael Venter, a columnist for the news website MSNBC, who published a short review in his own column.

"There's no doubt that the recent good performances have made the Kings rookie confident, however, I don't think that's his true strength, and so far he hasn't been taken much seriously by opponents' defenses, which has given him a lot of moisture in scoring. At the same time, I don't think the Chinese player's performance will be sustainable, his physical gifts are restricting his development, he has the quality to be drafted in the second round, and that's it. ”

Seeing the voices of the outside world questioning Li Tian, Michael Gilchrist was naturally extremely happy, and he then expressed his opinion through his Twitter, expressing his disdain for Li Tian, and believing that the Bobcats chose him to be the right choice, and he will perform better and better in future games.

The discussion about Li Tian's opinion intensified in just one day, and reached its peak with the addition of Michael Jordan.

"Tonight, I'll be there to watch the game."

Jordan didn't say anything about Lee's remarks, but when he tweeted them, many American fans, especially Bobcat fans, were excited.

"Michael was angry, and he wanted to be on the scene to see what arrogant capital that Chinese rookie had."

This is the general opinion of fans, and Michael Gilchrist quickly retweeted the message and wrote his determination on the back.

"Let the game do the talking, see you tonight."

Li Tian was a little surprised that the discussion would spread so much, but this was also exactly what he wanted, so that when he suppressed the opponent in the game, all this seemed more meaningful.

Compared with the bland slap in the face, when the opponent's face is full of excitement and excitement, he slaps himself, which is so refreshing...... It must be wonderful!
