Anything in this world must have the existence of opposites, there is no blind light, and there is no blind darkness.

In Indiana and the Great Celestial Empire, Li Cheng was like a savior. He is the successor and incarnation of Reggie Miller, he is the savior of the Chinese guards, he is the one who can pass the ball to Yao Ming, and he can make the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team break through the eighth place.

"At the best time of the Chinese men's basketball team, Li Cheng appeared. At the peak of Yao Ming, Li Cheng rose like a god in Indianapolis, and the Chinese men's basketball team finally had the hope of breaking through the eighth place. - Basketball Herald.

But on the other side of the ocean, there are still many people who don't buy it.

Mark Winter, a well-known ESPN commentator, said in his blog, "I admire Lee as a second-round pick who rose off the bench, but he's not the guy who can carry Indianapolis up to him.

He was in weak form for the first time in Indiana's away game against New Jersey, where he scored just 10 points. Although he has since returned to normalcy, he still lacks a lot from his game.

The first is his dribbling, pulling a random American who can play basketball on the street, and his dribbling may be better than Lee's.

Then there's his three-point shot, which he's only shot five times in his last eight games, and God forbid he's hit them all. But that doesn't mean that he's strong on the three-point shot, on the contrary, he's weak on the other hand. He's a smart guy and he's going to hide his weaknesses, both of which are well-hidden with the three-point shot and the dribble.

But there is also a weakness that he can't hide, and that is his defense. When playing against the starting guards of the other 29 teams in the league, he is in danger of being blown up. Superstars like Maddy, Kobe, and Iverson can definitely play, but he can't find his way home.

The last thing to talk about is his body, and the weakness of the body is the most deadly. The poor physical condition is definitely the biggest constraint to his development. And even if the Chinese are smart, they will hide their weaknesses, and those old birds in the alliance will definitely force him to expose all his weaknesses. Lee hasn't met any of those superstars in the guard yet, and his current strength is completely a bubble, and the bubble of illusion will burst sooner or later.

So, if Indiana want to rise, they must find a superstar who can change the team. Then Lee can assist him as a third-in-command or second-in-command.

As for messianic rhetoric and the like, Indians don't have to dream. They didn't need to hold any illusions anymore, and Lee was by no means the one they were waiting for. ”

Mark Winter seems to have given Li Cheng's positioning to death, and he believes that Li Cheng's future is just the second leader of the team, and he wants to become the top superstar in the league? It was just a dream.

There are still a lot of people who support Mark Winter, and in fact, a large number of people can't accept that a Chinese guard can rise quickly in the NBA. But these unacceptable people saw the ESPN brick family article again as if they had found the flies in the pit, and they immediately joined Mark Winter as if they had found the backbone.

Among the news media, the most supportive of Mark Winter is the Philadelphia media. It was the Philadelphia 76ers who let Li Cheng go, and they decided that Li Cheng had no value. The commercial value behind him simply couldn't make up for the dollar it cost to sign him, so the Phillies kicked Lee out of the team like garbage.

Originally, they were going to see the Indiana jokes, and the Philadelphia media once ridiculed, "The Indians took in the Chinese guards, and they just found a water cooler guard." Oh, no, they got a mascot. You must know that the first two Chinese players who worked as caretakers in the NBA helped their teams win championships! Have the Indianadians pinned their championship hopes on a mascot? Chinese mascot, you deserve it! ”

However, Li Cheng suddenly rose to prominence after being dormant in Indiana for most of the season. If you don't fly, it's just a sky; If you don't honk, it's enough; Blockbuster. Li Cheng's eruption is a testament to the old Chinese adage that the energy he erupts after his rise is absolutely seismic. He caught all the attention and helped the Indianans suck in a lot of dollars.

Li Cheng's slap was loud, and the people of Philadelphia only felt that their faces were hot, especially Miris Cheeks, who had been the one who advocated kicking out Li Cheng, had never dared to believe the rise of Li Cheng, and he had always been at the forefront of the team that denied Li Cheng.

And in this year's draft, Thaddeus Young, the twelfth rookie selected by the 76ers in the first round, said in an interview with the media: "Lee? I know that Chinese, he was just a moment of luck, I singled him out when he was in Philadelphia, I could kick his ass at will, now? I still can. You know, the last time we played against Indiana, he was shaken down by me and he didn't play again. ”

"You say now he can cut an average of 20+ per game? It's all bubbles of beautiful fantasies that will burst sooner or later, and I'll kick his ass when he meets me again. ”

If the upward curve of any stock is the same as the upper curve of Li Cheng's fame, the person who bought this stock has already become rich overnight.

Li Cheng's name has been mentioned no less often than those NBA superstars.

Lee's experience is almost a perfect fit for the American dream, and his 50 points in Cleveland have made the American people aware of his existence and attracted sustained attention.

After finishing their game against the Chicago Bulls, the Pacers flew to Toronto on a charter flight on March 1, where they will play the Raptors on the road.

After finishing the training in Toronto, Li Cheng was the last to walk out of the training hall, and when he walked out, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him. Granger, who was walking in front of him, ran away like a plague god, and he was afraid that he would suffer from the disaster of the pond fish by standing next to Li Cheng.

"Lee, what do you want to say about Thaddeus Young's remarks?"

Facing the long guns and short cannons stuffed by the media reporters, Li Cheng pouted helplessly and said: "If I remember correctly, we will not meet Philadelphia again until April 11th, and it is too early to say this." ”

"You remember the time very well, haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time?" Some reporters keenly grasped the key points.

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, secretly scolded himself for being careless, and could only say helplessly: "There are some problems between me and him that will be solved sooner or later, I am looking forward to this day, and I hope he can be ready." ”

"Do you think you can win Philadelphia? Last time at home, you lost the game. A reporter from Philadelphia asked.

A faint glint flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, it was a disdainful look, "Will the team that is now ranked eighth in the East be unable to defeat the team ranked twelfth in the East?" You're kidding. ”

"That's Philadelphia!"

"Philadelphia? When Philadelphia is without the cheers of Iverson and MVP, the glory of Philadelphia has already faded. ”

Another reporter asked a question about Mark Winter's blog post, and Li Cheng just turned the wristband on his left hand and said, "Time will tell, and the future will tell him to conclusions." ”

After Li Cheng answered this question, he found an opportunity to dodge and leave, some reporters called him behind his back, and he didn't have the slightest intention of turning back. He came to Toronto to play against the Raptors, not to be questioned by reporters.
