Chapter 35: The Storm of the Second Show
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 100-115, and Li Cheng scored 29 points in the game.
Li Cheng was about to leave when he saw Carter, Carter smiled at him and said, "Rookie, you're great, but you won't be able to win tomorrow." ”
"Really? But I don't think so. When encountering such a problem, Li Cheng will never admit defeat.
Carter laughed, "You're great, I'll remember you from today and hopefully you'll make the playoffs." ”
Li Cheng thought for a moment about the current ranking in the east and said, "Now we are ranked 9th, and you are ranked 8th. If we're going to make the playoffs, we're going to squeeze you out. ”
"Haha! Boy, why don't we make a bet? Carter said, "How about betting on which of us is going to make the playoffs?" ”
"What if we all make the playoffs?" Li Cheng asked.
Carter didn't think about it and said, "Then it depends on who we rank higher in the end." ”
"Color?"
"When you play away next season, go out and play, whoever loses is treated."
"No problem!" Li Cheng raised his head and replied with a fighting spirit.
……
At this time, the fans at the scene also began to leave the stadium, and when they left the stadium, they were still discussing the game just now.
"Hey! Man, don't you think that number 23 is great? ”
"Alright! Gotta admit he's great, and I apologize for hacking him before. ”
"I'm a fan of him from today onwards, and no one should stop me."
……
Others are also talking about the game.
"I have to admit that this Chinese is very powerful."
"Don't you think this guy's rise is more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster? It hibernated for a whole season, and then suddenly exploded. ”
"Now I admit his quality, I really see the shadow of Reggie Miller in him, and I hope he can get better and better! Now there are fewer and fewer shooting guards in the league, and now there's finally another flowing shooting guard. ”
"I also have to admit that China has produced a very good defender. In addition to Yao, there are still people in China who can play. ”
"But I still don't think that this Chinese cut 50 points is a sign of strength, luck still plays an indispensable role in it."
"Anyway, I like the style of play of this Chinese defender and I will continue to follow him."
Some American fans have put aside their prejudices against the Chinese and gradually recognized Li Cheng's strength, but there are also some stubborn people who do not think so, and prejudice against a person is actually difficult to change.
"Sooner or later, that Chinese will be revealed."
"If he had the strength, he would have come out a long time ago, why wait until now?"
"That said, I think he's just a flash in the pan. Are there still fewer short-lived figures in the NBA every year? ”
The discussion of Li Cheng by American fans soon faded away, and many more worthy of their attention were waiting for them! Lake Kai completed the repechage in the same year, and the MVP battle between Kobe Bryant and Paul is the focus of their attention. Li Cheng is just a concoction for them, but there are many people who have already remembered Li Cheng as a person and remembered him as a second-round show.
However, on the other side of the ocean, Li Chengcheng is the focus of most fans. The sudden explosion of a Chinese guard in the NBA brings unimaginable energy. Just like Jeremy Lin in later generations, when Lin Crazy came, all the fans were following his news to see if he broke out again today. Jeremy Lin is not a Chinese national, but Li Cheng is a Chinese!
On the Donkey Pounce Forum, the topic of Li Cheng is the hottest store today.
At the end of the game between the Pacers and the Nets, Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Nets at home, and Chinese player Li Cheng played 32 minutes, hit 13 of 18 shots, and scored 29 points, with a 72% shooting rate. Today's game can be won, Li Chenggong is indispensable, and now it can be announced that the Chinese guard has officially risen in the NBA!! ”
Yu Jia's words made many fans who paid attention to this game excited.
The rise of a Chinese guard, the outbreak of a Chinese second-round show, and the legend of a Chinese in the NBA.
How many Chinese fans wish for a second-round show from China to rise in an almost legendary way?
How many fans see that when Chinese defenders are bullied in the international arena, and when they see Yao Ming caught in the opponent's multi-person attack and isolated, how much do they hope that a Chinese defender can stand up and help China out of the predicament?
Now that China has a world-class center, plus an NBA-caliber guard, they have reason to believe that the Chinese team will make history.
"Li Cheng's appearance today is really handsome, and 'Chinese Miller' really lives up to his reputation."
"His shot, and his breakthrough, I am excited when I think about the scene of him and Yao Ming together."
"We finally have a great defender in China, but I don't know how his ball control is, and whether he can help us break the trouble of pressing all over the court."
"It doesn't matter if he can break the tight closure or not, he can help Yao Ming open up space, and our positional battle will definitely be more threatening."
Of course, some people still raised concerns, not so much about whether Li Cheng can help the Chinese national team, but about Li Cheng's next development in the NBA.
is still the netizen called "Shadow Companion", he still raised his concerns.
In his article, he pointed out that Li Cheng's two-point shooting ability is very good now, but he still hasn't shown his three-point ability. And his breakthrough is almost zero, he had a very good breakthrough today, but it was when Carter was unstable and unprepared, what should he do against other teams in the future?
If he goes in the direction of Reggie Miller, Miller's three-point ability is obvious to all, and if he wants to learn from Miller, he must practice three-point shooting to make himself more offensive space and more space to run. If he wants to become a mid-pitch king, he has to develop his breakthrough and singles ability, and give himself another weapon. If his offensive means are still so single, it will be easy to target. 50 points and 72 percent shooting per game is just a beautiful illusion, and it would only be real if he could continue to fight in the NBA for a long time.
This post was highly rated, and some people began to spray brainlessly, but most people still agreed with him.
Li Cheng really needs to develop other skills, and now he has been registered with the coaches of various teams, if he can't continue to develop new skills, sooner or later those old guys in the league will find weaknesses and break them.
But now, whether in the United States or in China, Li Cheng has indeed set off a wave of discussion. He rose strongly in the NBA as a second-round pick, changed a lot of things, and really set off a storm about second-round picks.
The last time someone took it by storm as a second-round show, that person was called Arenas. And now the second round of the NBA is a Chinese, his name is - Li Cheng!
