Chapter 14: The Iron Army
There was no training today, but Li Cheng and Granger still came to the team's training hall. The "top of the basketball system" became his capital to change his fate, but this cannot be an excuse for his laziness. On the contrary, Li Cheng cherishes the "top of the basketball system" even more and trains harder than before.
I don't know if it's the increase in the attribute of the "perfect body" or the psychological effect, Li Cheng feels that his body is stronger than yesterday.
After the daily routine shooting training, Li Cheng sat on the ground after resting for a while and began to do some physical stretching movements, and he would intersperse some ligament stretching movements in training every day. While doing these movements, it is not only a rest, but also a kind of exercise for the body.
Li Cheng and Granger train together every day, and they have a feeling of "double accommodation and double flight".
Seeing Li Cheng training so hard, Granger sighed, "Li, I really admire your perseverance. Insisting on training like this every day, you seem to have increased your dose lately. ”
In terms of training, Granger admires Li Cheng very much. He trains with Li Cheng every day, and he knows Li Cheng's training volume best.
Granger asked himself that the amount of training he had was relatively large, even if it was not as good as a training maniac like Kobe, but it was also considered an upper-middle level in the NBA. But ever since Granger trained with Li Cheng, Li Cheng's training volume has been increasing. Now Granger even suspects that Li Cheng's training volume is about the same as Kobe's.
Li Cheng picked up a towel and wiped his sweaty neck, and said, "The talent is not as good as yours, if I don't work hard, I will be out of the NBA a long time ago." ”
Granger teased, "You have such a good personality, you are so hardworking, and I stay with you every day, I think I will fall in love with you." ”
Li Cheng scolded with a smile: "I like your character very much, but I don't like your gender, we are not suitable." ”
"Actually, you should believe in love."
Li Cheng kicked Granger in the ass and scolded, "Get out of here, hurry up and train." ”
Granger jumped up the basketball on the ground with his foot, slapped it, and said, "After being with you, my training volume has increased a lot." I really don't know how I knew you. ”
Li Cheng drove Granger's training rhythm, and Granger accompanied Li Cheng in the boring and painful training, giving Li Cheng the courage to persevere.
Li Cheng and Granger train together, naturally they can't escape the eyes of some people. At this moment, at the door of the training hall, a tall middle-aged man was looking at this qiē.
Every day is boring training, but Li Cheng has been gritting his teeth and persevering. He has rarely attended events organized by his teammates, and even brought Granger to events less often. However, under the day-to-day training, Granger was the first to experience progress, and Li Cheng also experienced the benefits of daily high-intensity training after receiving the "Top of the Basketball System".
The sky had turned completely inky, and the north wind was howling through the streets. Li Cheng and Granger left the training gym.
……
Today, the Pacers will have their final game before All-Star Weekend on their home court. They will host the Detroit Pistons.
It's a grassroots team whose greatest achievement was a win over the unbeatable Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. It's just that as time goes by, their power curve is already in a downward phase, and if they don't win the championship this year, what awaits them may be a change.
Today's opponent is the Pistons, a team that is the same ratings killer as the Spurs in the West. However, attendance at the Conseus Centre was even higher than the day before yesterday when Celtic visited. This is also thanks to the table Xiàn, which has recovered since the team entered two games, and the Chinese who came out of nowhere.
There are more black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese in the Center of Conseus, and this is all due to Li Cheng. More Chinese want to go to the scene to see their compatriots' performances in the NBA.
In this game, Li Cheng still failed to start. However, in O'Brien's heart, Li Cheng's tactical position is already very important.
The defense formed by Prince and Hamilton on the front line put a lot of pressure on the Pacers, and with Billups' methodical organization, the Pacers' situation was even more difficult than the previous game.
This difficulty is not reflected in the scoreline, but in the loss of control of the situation.
The Pistons formed a complete suppression of the Pacers, starting with Billups and ending with McDyce, at every point that formed a suppression of the Pacers.
Granger tried to find a breakthrough from the flank, but Rasheed Wallace's quick defense was so good that he couldn't find a chance at all. Forcing an attack from the middle is even more difficult.
The game played 4 minutes and the score of the two teams was 11-6. The only good news for the Pacers may be that the Pistons' shooting percentage is not too high today.
"It's not okay to go on like this!" Hart said worriedly.
O'Brien nodded and said, "In the face of a collective defense like the Pistons, we really don't have much to do. ”
"It's really hard for them to not let up at all!" Hart sighed, "What are you going to do?" ”
O'Brien thought for a moment and said, "We can give up this game, and facing a tenacious and steady team like Detroit is the most headache." I'm going to put on a change of Lee and let him have more contact with Hamilton. ”
Immediately, O'Brien called a timeout. "Lee, you go, you have to observe more in actual combat and observe Hamilton's running."
"Understood, sir."
Dunleavy Jr. was once again replaced early for no reason, and the resentment in his heart had grown to the point of no return.
"Chinese puppy, Lao Tzu will let you understand that you don't have the strength to replace me."
After playing the court, Li Chengcai really realized why the Detroit Pistons were called the "Iron Army".
The Detroit man's steadiness was something he hadn't experienced in any of his previous opponents, meticulous offense, and a rock-solid defense. Every time the ball moved very reasonably, they couldn't play a pleasing game, but they were able to break the last nerve of their opponent in a frightening steady.
What made him even more uncomfortable was the pressure from Hamilton.
In attack, Hamilton was in motion all the time. He doesn't need to deliberately call his teammates to cover, he will use his running to let his teammates naturally form a cover for him. And for a pitcher like him, it only takes a small space to complete the blow to the opponent.
Hamilton had an impression of the Chinese in front of him. In Hamilton's mind, the guy was also a pitcher. However, after Li Cheng's first shot, he was a little dismissive of Li Cheng's pitcher name, and he thought that Li Cheng's offensive style did not deserve to be called a "pitcher".
From the time Li Cheng came on the court to the end of the first quarter, he shot twice and hit a ball.
However, Li Cheng always remembered that after he hit a step-back jumper, Hamilton's cold words came into his ears, "Boy, do you think you're a pitcher?" But you're not a pitcher's offense at all. ”
