Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Chapter 65 The Preseason Begins

The Hornets' training camp started from mid-July to the end of September, which lasted for more than two months.

In this more than two months, apart from training... Li Shengli successfully integrated into the Hornets team.

The little Boggs is a pistachio. He spanked Li Shengli crazily outside the training ground and had a great time.

Kendall-Gill, this guy is definitely a coquettish master, and the dirty jokes come out of his mouth, and his name is Jill for no reason.

And then there's Curry...

Li Shengli was cheated for more than half a month, and the poor part-time nanny Li Shengli was about to be driven crazy by the little Curry. He didn't get out of the misery until Curry's wife came home, and lived in the house that Turner rented for him... The rent is cheap House of.

As for Larry Johnson, although he is still the same and looks down on Li Shengli, fortunately, there has been no friction for the time being.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in October of 1992.

Speaking of which, from the end of October every year to the middle and late April of the following year, the NBA regular season will start during this time period, but before that... there is a half-month preseason, as the start of the regular season preheating.

Because each team will have a lot of changes in the lineup after the end of the season. In order to let the teams adjust the lineup, familiarize themselves with tactics, and allow players and coaches to communicate better, so... the league officials will arrange several pre-season games Come to warm up the teams.

The Atlanta Hawks, that's who the Charlotte Hornets are playing at home in the preseason.

The Hawks had 38 wins and 44 losses last season, ranking ninth in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs; the Hornets had 31 wins and 51 losses last season, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, which was even worse than the Hawks.

It can be said that as the two underdogs in the Eastern Conference, this game did not receive much attention, but... because the preseason game is to warm up the regular season of the NBA and attract fans' attention. Tickets for the game are free, so come here There were quite a few spectators watching the game.

...

The game is about to begin, the Hornets locker room.

"Guys, listen carefully. Although this game is just a preseason game without ranking, it is our first game to show our strength to the whole league... So, I hope everyone can play with their best!" Hornets Bishop Alan knocked on the tactical board and said with a serious expression.

"But you don't need to be nervous. Winning or losing this game is not the key. I hope to see your cooperation, especially... Li, this is your first game with the Hornets. Just relax and play normally!" Alan Looking at Li Shengli, his eyes were full of anticipation.

To be honest, the Hornets did not make the playoffs last season. Although the outside players performed well, the inside is really an obvious shortcoming.

But now it's different...

With the addition of Li Shengli, the Hornets' internal shortcomings have been strengthened. As for the extent of the strengthening, it depends on Li Shengli's performance.

It can be said that Li Shengli is definitely the most critical part of what kind of height the Hornets can reach in the new season. After more than two months of training and inspection, Alan is sure that the entire league will definitely look at the new Hornets with admiration .

"Okay, coach, I will definitely work hard." Li Shengli replied.

...

15 minutes before the game kicks off.

In the Charlotte Stadium, home of the Hornets, the Hornets will enter the arena accompanied by passionate music.

As the current leader of the Hornets, Larry Johnson stands at the top of the team, followed by other teammates.

As for Li Shengli, as the rookie of the Hornets this year, he was the last one to play, and the audience gave them warm applause, looking forward to the rookie's performance.

...

"Hey, Li, take it easy!" Curry looked at Li Shengli and said with a smile.

"What, I look nervous?" Li Shengli rubbed his hands.

Although he has a season of NCAA game experience, it is different now... This is his first official game in the NBA. It is impossible not to be nervous, but he is more looking forward to it, because this is to test his own strength The first battle.

Is he, as always, ruling the box, doing his box Satan?

Or did he do nothing throughout the game and become a marginal player in the NBA?

The answer will be revealed soon.

"Li, you have to believe in yourself." Curry said comfortingly: "In this arena, strength is very important, but confidence will determine your strength, so... relax, believe in yourself, and believe in our teammates. !"

It has to be said that Curry's consolation is a bit redundant, because Li Shengli has completed his mentality adjustment.

...

To be honest, there are really a lot of parallel imports in the first round of the draft, even the number one pick in parallel imports is not uncommon.

Being able to be selected by the team in the top picks shows that the parallel importers are indeed capable, but as Curry said, self-confidence will affect the display of strength. The reason why some parallel importers are inferior is psychological... …

After all, the NBA represents the highest level of basketball, and there are many ruthless people who are so strong that they are abnormal. As a rookie, facing experienced old fritters and old hooligans, one can imagine the end of being cowardly before a fight.

However……

Li Shengli has passed the stage of psychological tension, and his anticipation has turned into excitement. His eyes are shining, and he is waiting for the start of the game.

Counseling?

How could it be cowardly?

Whoever comes to this one-third of an acre of land... will be a vegetable!

...

The entrance ceremony is over.

The generals of the Hornets started their warm-up preparations, and Curry looked at Li Shengli, who was still docile and kind on the front feet, but became fierce on the back feet, his face was full of surprise, "Little Boggs, I... did I say something wrong, Li seems Inspired?"

"Oh, Curry, I think...you may have broken Satan's seal." Boggs naturally felt the change in Li Shengli, "Look at Li's current state, I guess some people have watched this game."

"Maybe, but...you know the inside of the Eagles. The starting center Kevin Wesley is an old fritter, so this game will definitely not be too easy for Lee." Curry said with a frown.

"Hey, Curry, don't be too pessimistic, we all have to believe in Lee!" Boggs patted Curry on the shoulder and said.

"Why, do you think Lee can suppress Kevin Wesley?" Curry rolled his eyes, "Make a bet, if Lee is beaten by Wesley, you will help me take care of my child for half a month .Speaking of which... my two children like you very much!"

"Oh shit! Do you think I'm as easy to deceive as Lee?" Hearing Curry's nonsense, thinking of Curry's two brats, Boggs was going crazy.

"I've already been fooled by you once, and it's like this every time. Your wife is not at home, so you always want to cheat our teammates to bring you children. Last time, Stephen peed on me, I couldn't bear it, but you Do you know? How dare this bad boy call me short?"

"Oh, God, I swear this is the most vicious taunt I've ever heard! If Stephen grows up and enters the NBA, I think he will be... the king of trash talk!" Boggs said unbearably.

"No way! Steph is going to be as great a pitcher as I am!"

"Maybe it will be, but his trash talk must be awesome too!"

"F**K OFF, my Stephen is so cute, how can he talk trash!"
