After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 19
At the last 18.3 seconds, the men's basketball team actually still led by two points.

As a result, Matt Walsh, the main scorer of the season before the Florida Gators won the NCAA championship, made a key three-pointer to help the Cavaliers overtake the score and win a 1-point lead.

Then at the critical moment, Sun Dasheng passed the ball to Kong Yi, and he had a chance to prove himself with a lore!
Even if he didn't feel good before, as long as this lore is hit, he can still blow his heart and make key shots after the game.

But in the end, I don't know whether it was too much pressure or exhaustion. After using his signature turnaround jump shot, the ball was actually short.

Ah Lian missed his only chance to kill himself in this life!

This goal made the men's basketball team sigh, and the Cavaliers' bench was ecstatic.

Although it is only a summer league game, for some people, it may be the only highlight moment in their life. The quasi-lore Matt Walsh is surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, enjoying his own glory.

On the other hand, Ah Lian was a bit lonely, Dazhi came to comfort him and touched his head, and his teammates also came to pat him on the shoulder.

In fact, they are very aware of the pressure in his heart during this time. After all, the media now compares Li Chengming to him. A first-round lottery pick, the pride of national attention, an unknown before the draft, who was finally selected at the bottom Fatty, who would have thought that the two could be compared?
As for Sun Dasheng, who is also in the second round, the current average is less than 4 points per game, and the shooting percentage is only [-]%. He has been far behind and has no qualifications to compare with the two of them.

Except for the first game, the UAE is not playing very well at present. The shooting rate is also lower than 5%, and there are 6 turnovers and [-] fouls per game.

Not to mention the performance on the field, but in terms of statistics alone, he lost completely.

And the more this is the case, the more the media have to compare, the more they compare, the more they feel that he is not as famous as Li Cheng, and the fans will also form such an inherent concept.

Originally, there should be someone in the national team who needs to be replaced more than him, but he is so big. As one of the core players, Kong Tianyi will definitely become the target of the outside world.

They were still saying that Li Chengming was selfish and disregarded the collective interests and did not join the national team, and then he didn't know how to make up the argument that the national team squeezed out newcomers. Same.

If this continues, the pressure on him is too great, and it is likely to overwhelm him.

Under such circumstances, it is commendable that he can withstand the pressure, and it is reasonable to be unable to withstand it. After all, at his current age and experience, he is really not at the point where he can calm down.

In fact, it would be great if the Blue Shoes leader could stand up and say a few words to distract attention, but now the Blue Shoes leader is keeping silent, which means that the players are under pressure. Even though they have ideas in their hearts, they can't help it.

To say that the relationship is close, the teammates of the national team must be closer, but to be honest, even Dazhi didn't think about what would happen if Li Chengming could fight side by side with them.

However, Li Chengming still appeared on the magic team's bench in today's game, watching his teammates win the last game and ending the summer league trip with a complete victory.

However, many of them may not be able to stay in the NBA, and may not even be seen in the future.

So in the end, Li Chengming hugged them one by one to show his kindness. This was also given to him by Li's father, and he had to behave like the leader of the team.

In fact, Redick felt very comfortable playing with him. Without Li Chengming to attract double-teams today, he ran very tired and his efficiency dropped a lot. Although he still scored 17 points, his shooting percentage was only in the early [-]s. , so not seeing one game is like three games every other time.

Then Li Chengming was caught by the reporters in the background. At first, Li Chengming didn't understand their faces. He didn't understand until he saw them mention the summer league results of the national team in another field, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.

Do these guys still regard him as the savior of the men's basketball team?
"Hey, I don't know the situation, maybe I have to go back and have a look before I can answer you."

Because in the past few days, he will be surrounded by reporters every day after the game. As his performance gets better and better, some American media will come to him.

When facing domestic reporters, Li's father had already started to let him face it alone, and would not come up to help again.

However, he will still ask him some issues that need attention in advance, especially Li's father didn't pay much attention to basketball in the past, but recently surfed the Internet to make up a lot of things, and only then did he know many issues that he didn't understand before.

Of course, I also know that the current controversy about the performance of the men's basketball team in the summer league, there was no comparison with Li Chengming in the past, and they still have a bottom in their hearts, thinking that we still have a trump card, Yao.

Domestic fans will also think that it is already very good that they can reach a stalemate with the teams in the summer league. It does not matter if Space Yi does not perform well, he is still young.

Maybe he got up after a season of training in the NBA?
After all, there are still Dayao and Dazhi in front, and he still has time to develop.

But the sudden appearance of Li Chengming changed the environment of public opinion. The better Li Chengming performed in the summer league, the more it would bring out the poor performance of these players in the national team. Even the big ones were guarded. Experience is still not as useful as hard power.

Can they beat a Summer League team without Dayao?

This game is already the closest, and as a result, the UAE has not seized the chance of lore.

What, you said that Li Chengming didn't have a lore either?

They just ruined the game, so of course there is no chance of lore.

Not to mention the question of whether to recruit Li Chengming to the national team, the blue shoes would not pick up the ball at all over there, as if they were blind and couldn't see, or the phone line was disconnected and they couldn't make contact.

Father Li is not interested in guessing what the blue shoes are thinking. He just wants to protect his son, so he just told Li Chengming to ignore such topics.

On this point, Li Chengming was very reassuring, knowing that if he said something recklessly, it might affect many people, so even if the reporters tried to lure him in various ways, he would not be fooled.

Maybe they are kind, hoping that he can strengthen the national team, but this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Of course, after the game, he received good news from his father. The Magic had confirmed that he would sign a contract with him. The contract amount was not high, and it was only two years. The second year was naturally the team's option.

There is no way, second-round picks have no human rights. If you don’t perform well, the team just gives up. The team that performs well also has the right to renew the contract first, and can pay a lower price, as long as there are no teams out there using poison contracts. , can be directly matched.

"It is estimated that you will be able to get an annual salary of at least 30 U.S. dollars in your rookie year. Isn't this a step up to the sky?" Father Li said, shaking his head and laughing.

In fact, this is because the Magic really fancy him and want to train him.

After all, Li Chengming did show his value in the summer league this time, and he is still far from being the core cornerstone. However, during the substitute rotation stage, playing on the field will definitely relieve the pressure on the first team.

Moreover, his size is estimated to only last for ten minutes, which is enough.

They are going to achieve results in the new season, and it is impossible to focus on him. How much time he can gain depends on his own performance during training.

The amount of a rookie’s contract is linked to his ranking. For example, Tian Tianyi is a lottery pick. The contract he can sign will be four years. The total amount should be around 1300 million US dollars, and the first year is about 278 million. U.S. dollars, increasing annually thereafter.

However, the next two years are team options. The team can choose to implement, give up, or renew the contract in advance. Generally speaking, this is a good choice for the team.

After all, there have been cases where rookies who performed well have left the team directly after the end of the contract, leaving the team with nothing.

The second-round pick is actually beneficial in this regard. For example, if the rookie performed well in the first two years and the team chooses to renew the contract, it can get a better contract one or two years earlier.

Of course, in order to protect the interests of the team, the league has also made restrictions, that is, the Arenas clause, which can make it easier for the home team to retain rookies who are played by second-round picks.

It's hard to say how Li Chengming will develop in the future, but at least he has a good start now.

However, it will take some time before signing the contract, so the system has not responded for the time being.
