Chapter 368: The chaotic situation, the arrival of Yao Ming
The biggest difference between this King and his previous life is that Weber's comeback did not allow the King to take off quickly like he did in his previous life, ending the entire regular season with an 11-game winning streak in the second half of the regular season, and they were the first in the league.
However, because Li Lei and his first title in the league were taken away by the Bulls, not only that, in the two regular season matches with the Bulls, the Kings were all defeated. Doug Christie, a defensive expert, did not limit Li Lei very well. In the series with the Mavericks, he went to defend Finley. Although the overall hit rate of the Mavericks "Boss" was reduced, the Mavericks won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. At this time of his previous life, the King had already sent the Mavericks home with a score of 4-1.
In fact, the person Christie should defend is Nash, not Finley. After the craftsmanship of old Nelson, the Canadians have already had the shadow of their peak period. Finley is a poor version of Jordan. His playing style has never changed much from his rookie season to his peak. The reason for the poor version of Jordan is that the opponent's body has some shadow of Jordan in terms of stagnation and explosive power. As a defensive player like Christie, although facing Finley, can limit the opponent's shooting rate, it is too difficult to prevent the opponent from scoring.
Of course, there is also Bibi's loss in this round of series. In this 1998 second-tier pick, he averaged only 12 points per game against Nash, while Nash can average 18 points and 9 assists per game. Bibi is completely outperforming Nash in physical condition, but in this round of series, Nash used his own running and did not give Bibi the opportunity to be close, which made the Arizona ace lose its effect.
Anyway, in a word, the Nets and the Kings are under great pressure. They are both teams ranked among the top in the league. If they lose to the Pistons and the Mavericks like this, they will definitely be squirted to death by fans.
The other two sets of duels are still going on. In addition to training for themselves, Li Lei just looked at the matchups of these two sets. The Mavericks and Pistons were much better than they remember, especially the Mavericks. Nash's passes and running positions have the shadow of the Wind Son at his peak. Although the head coach is not D'Antoni, if they really face the Lakers, I believe the Lakers are not that easy. Because the Mavericks' inside strength is really good, and O'Neal cannot leave the penalty area. It is too unrealistic to rely on Horry, Samaki Walker and others to defend Nowitzki. Although the driver has not yet mastered the Golden Roosters' independence, the rafting forward against the Lakers is enough.
The Lakers are much weaker than they think. Although the OK group is still the king of the West, who doesn’t hold a bomb on the playoffs? The playoffs are a game of superstars, but it is even more of a consideration of the head coach’s IQ. If the Lakers did not break out of the West this season, Li Lei would not be surprised at all, because this year’s West is more tragic than any year.
At the same time, Yao Ming also began his trial training in the NBA, which was not in his previous life. Yao Ming in his previous life even did not participate in the draft because he wanted to participate in various competitions, making it look like a non-loto.
With the existence of Li Lei, a person with x-factor in this life, many people in the domestic basketball world understand that there is no good result in working behind closed doors. Although the men's basketball team is invincible in the whole of Asia, it is still second-rate in the world. Coupled with Li Lei's success and Wang Zhizhi's increasingly integrated into the Mavericks, Yao Ming's NBA journey is much smoother than in his previous life.
Yao Ming has no connections in the United States, so the first person he thought of was Li Lei. Why wasn't Wang Zhizhi? Because Yao Ming felt that there was some gap between him and Wang Zhizhi. It was not that Wang Zhizhi was not good, but that person was too serious. Li Lei was just like a funny guy, and he was more approachable.
When Yao Ming came to Chicago Airport, Li Lei and his family were all three. Why were they a family of three? Because Li Guodong and Zhao Yixuan are also fans of Yao Ming, especially the former. When he was in China, his favorite thing was Yao Ming's game. Although the Bayi team in China is very strong, what they are strong is the overall one. No one can compare with Yao Ming in terms of personal strength, and isn't the basketball game just about personal ability?
Yao Ming also came with his parents, and there was no one else except this.
"We are really embarrassed to trouble Xiao Li when we come here. The child of Yao said that Xiao Li is not an outsider. "When Yao arrived at the airport, Yao Ming's mother spoke first, and Yao Ming's father was looking at Li Lei. He and Yao's mother were both professional basketball players and were also curious about Li Lei. This guy who had become popular all over the world in less than two years, his rise is really like a myth.
No matter what sports it is, talent is an indispensable factor. Yao's father has never doubted his son's talent, but what the hell is Li Lei? He made a comeback from UCLa's caddie to the main force in NCAA, and then led the grass team to win the championship, entered the NBA as the second place, and won the MVP in the rookie season. He has eliminated the veteran Celtics in the playoffs and entered the Eastern Conference Finals. These things can only be described as shocking. Even Jordan, the former basketball god, started with being blown up at the beginning, and Li Lei seemed to be a natural winner.
Li Lei made Yao’s father unable to see through it. There must be some secret hidden in this guy. Forget it, why do you care about so much? If your son has such a friend in NBA, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Yao Ming settled down on Li Lei's side. After a while, Chandler came and his eyes turned red when he saw Yao Ming.
"Come on, let's fight again. I'm no longer in high school."
Chandler had educated Gasol in the regular season, and now he pointed his finger at Yao Ming. Regarding this draft hit, Chandler looked at Gasol much heavier because Yao Ming gave him oppression greater than Gasol. Gasol was strong in his omnipotence, but Yao Ming gave him the feeling that he was like a yellow-skinned Olajuwon, and he always had various ways to send the ball to the basket.
Yao Ming immediately contributed the emoticon package. "Uh, who are you? I seem to know you a little."
