Chapter 65: Opening of the preseason


  Wasp's training started from mid-July to the end of September, which lasted more than two months.
   In this more than two months, after training... Li Shengli successfully integrated into the Hornets team.
  Big Boggs is a pistachio. He farts wildly with Li Shengli outside the training ground and has a lot of fun.
  Kendall-Gill, this guy is definitely a sullen lord, and the meat in his mouth comes open, and his name is Gil.
   There is Curry...
Li Shengli has been pitted for half a month, and the poor part-time babysitter Li Shengli is about to be driven crazy by the little Curry. Until the wife of Curry returns home, he is considered to be out of the sea of ​​hardship and lived in Turner to rent him... the rent is cheap one's house.
   As for Larry Johnson, although he still looks the same, he doesn't look down on Li Shengli, but fortunately no friction has occurred.
  ……
   The time passed quickly, blinking into October 1992.
Speaking of, every year from the end of October to the middle and late April of the following year, the regular season of the NBA will be played in this period, but before that... there is also a half-month preseason, which starts as the regular season Before warming up.
Because each team will have a lot of changes in the lineup after the season, in order to let the teams run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with tactics, and allow players and coaches to communicate better, so...The league official will arrange several pre-season games The game came to warm up the teams.
   Atlanta Hawks, this is the opponent that the Charlotte Hornets play against at home in the preseason.
   Eagles won 38 games and 44 losses last season, ranked ninth in the East, missed the playoffs; the Hornets 31 wins and 51 losses last season, the penultimate Eastern Conference, worse than the Eagles.
It can be said that as the two weak players in the east, this game has not received much attention, but... because the preseason is to warm up the NBA regular season and attract the attention of fans, the game tickets are free, so come There are also many spectators watching the game.
  ……
   The game is about to start, the Hornets locker room.
"Guys, listen carefully. Although this game is just a pre-season game without rankings, it is our first battle to show our strength to the entire league... So, I hope everyone can do their best to compete!" Hornets Bishop Alan knocked on the tactical board and said seriously.
"But you don't have to be nervous, winning or losing in this game is not the key. I hope to see your cooperation, especially... Li, this is your first game to join the Hornets, relax your mind and play normally!" Alan Looking at Li Shengli, his eyes were full of expectations.
  To tell the truth, it was not wrong for the Hornets to make the playoffs last season. Although the outside players played well, the inside line is a clear shortcoming.
   But now it is different...
  With the addition of Li Shengli, the Hornets' inner short board has been strengthened. As for the degree of enhancement, it still needs to be seen by Li Shengli's play.
It can be said that what kind of height the Hornets can reach in the new season, Li Shengli is definitely the most critical part. After more than two months of training and investigation, Alan is very sure that the entire league will surely take a look at the new Hornets... .
   "Okay, coach, I will work hard." Li Shengli replied.
  ……
   15 minutes before the start of the game.
  In the Charlotte Gymnasium, home of the Hornets, the Hornets will be accompanied by passionate music.
  As the current Hornets player, Larry Johnson stands first in the team, followed by other teammates.
   As for Li Shengli, as the Hornets rookie this year, he made his final appearance, and the audience gave their warm applause, looking forward to the rookie's performance.
  ……
   "Hey, Li, take it easy!" Curry said with a smile as he watched Li Shengli.
   "Why, I look nervous?" Li Shengli rubbed his hands.
Although he has one season of NCAA game experience, it is different now... but this is his first official game in the NBA. It is impossible to be nervous, but I still look forward to it because it is to verify his strength. The first battle.
   is ruling the restricted area as always, do Satan in his restricted area?
   or the whole game of inaction, becoming a marginal player in the NBA major leagues?
   The answer will be revealed soon.
"Lee, you have to believe in yourself." Curry said comfortingly: "In this game, strength is very important, but confidence will affect your strength, so... relax, believe in yourself, and believe in our teammates. !"
   has to say that Curry’s comfort is somewhat redundant, because Li Shengli has completed his mentality adjustment.
  ……
  Seriously, there are really a lot of parallels in the first round of the draft, even if the parallels are the top picks.
Being able to be selected by the team at high picks shows that the parallels are indeed capable, but as Curry said, confidence can influence the play of strength. The reason why part of the parallels are water, the problem is psychological... …
   After all, the NBA stands for the highest level of basketball. Here, there are a lot of perverts who are strong enough to be perverted. As a rookie, facing the experienced old fritters and old rogues, it is natural to imagine the end of the game without first counseling.
  However...
  Li Shengli has gone through the psychologically tense stage, expectation turned into excitement, his eyes shining, just waiting for the start of the game.
   counsel?
  How is it possible?
  This three-point acre of his own land, whoever comes...is a dish!
  ……
   The entrance ceremony is over.
  The Hornets will begin warm-up preparations, and Curry looks at Li Shengli, whose front feet are still docile and kind, and the back feet become fierce, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com's face was full of suspense. "Boggs, I... did I say the wrong thing, Li seems to be stimulated?"
   "Oh, Curry, I think...you may have unleashed the seal of Satan." Boggs naturally also felt the change in Li Shengli's, "Look at Lee's current state, it is estimated that some of this game has been watched."
   "Maybe, but... you know the inside of the Hawks. Starting center Kevin Wesley is an old fritter, so this game, Li will definitely not be too easy." Curry said with a frown.
   "Hey, Curry, don't be too pessimistic, we all have to believe Lee!" Boggs said and patted Curry on the shoulder.
"Why, do you think Lee can suppress Kevin Wesley?" Curry rolled his eyes. "Bet, if Lee is beaten by Wesley, you will help me take care of my child for half a month. . Speaking... My two kids love you!"
   "ohshit! Do you think I'm such a liar?" Listening to Curry's gossip, thinking of Curry's two bear children, Boggs was going crazy.
"I've been to you once, and every time it's like this, your wife is not at home and always wants to pit our teammates to bring you children. Last time, Stephen peeed on me and I endured, but you Do you know? This bad guy dare to call me short?"
   "Oh, God, I swear this is the most vicious taunt I've ever heard! If Stephen, who grew up, entered the NBA, I think he must be... the king of rubbish!" Boggs said unbearably.
   "Impossible! Stephen will definitely become a great pitcher like me!"
   "Maybe it will, but his must be great!"
   "FKOFF, my Stephen is so cute, how can he talk rubbish!"
