Chapter 388 Preparing for the new season

After Li Chengming came back, he quickly discovered some new faces in the team. In fact, except for those people who had been expected to stay stably, everyone else who could leave had basically left.

Then in addition to Mbah a Moute, a rookie forward who has long been known, there are also forward Michael Pietrus and point guard Anthony Johnson who the team signed back from the free market.

Pietrus was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 11th pick in the first round of 2003. He is one of the creators of the "Black Eight Miracle". He has excellent athletic ability, a good three-point shooting and a certain ability to help defend and interfere.

The forward player the Magic need.

Anthony Johnson is a veteran. He was selected by the Kings with the 11th pick in the second round of 1997. Since then, he has played for many teams and is a typical homeless player. This is also the second time Johnson has joined the Magic after the 1999-00 season.

team, he will be the team's backup point guard in the new season.

It can also be seen from these additions that whether he originally considered it this way or listened to Li Chengming's suggestion, Austy Smith's selection of the team's lineup was basically based on what he did before Li Chengming left.

Suggesting the direction to go for it can be regarded as handing over an answer sheet that makes Li Chengming quite satisfied.

As for the players who left, except for Arroyo who left directly after his contract expired, Dulin was signed first and then traded to the Nets, and Maurice Evans signed with the Atlanta Hawks in the free market. They will become opponents next season.

.

The overall structure of the Magic's current lineup remains unchanged, except that three or four role players have been replaced.

But given that the Magic's core lineup is already very young and is likely to continue to grow like a skip, their performance next season is still worth looking forward to.

The US media ranks the Magic as the best team in the new season, which is also based on this consideration.

In particular, Li Chengming's strong performance in the Olympics will naturally lead to expectations for the help he will bring to the Magic in the new season.

However, the player list excludes him from the top ten, and even only ranks him in twelfth place. This is somewhat of a suppression.

Objectively speaking, even in terms of comprehensive offense and defense, are there ten players in the league who can completely defeat Li Chengming?

Li Chengming himself doesn't actually know, because strength is actually difficult to quantify, and comparisons between different positions are hard to say.

But at least if he is at the fourth position, Li Chengming feels that he is now on the same level as veteran power forwards such as Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett. Even if they are on a downward trend and he is on an upward trend, he should

Still a little higher.

The rest depends more on the results.

To be honest, as long as the Magic can perform well in the new season, Li Chengming does not believe that the media can continue to ignore him.

The fans will definitely not ignore him. If the media continues to suppress him, it is devaluing his own influence in disguise. They are definitely not that stupid.

The media can be a clown and duplicitous, but it must not be stubborn.

If you go against the audience, you are dissatisfied that you have too much money.

"Hey, LI, it seems you are in good condition?"

Head coach Van Gundy immediately arranged for Li Chengming to weigh in after he returned.

For him, Li Chengming is definitely the object he is most concerned about in the team now.

He also paid attention to this Olympic Chinese men's basketball game, just to see Li Chengming's performance, but he found that he seemed to have improved again.

These progressive parts are not very good, and a bit of mysterious term is called the ability to control the game, or it is, the ability to lead the team.

Not to mention, the Shan Hua Guo men's basketball team lacked two games after Da Yao, which can be regarded as Li Cheng Ming himself but led by the team.

Then, then

Especially considering that teammates with a gap between most strengths and opponents have a gap between their opponents, it is not easy to achieve this step.

In short, it is the basic criterion for leading the team as a star, that is, the ability to pocket.

In the NBA, it can lead the team to the playoffs when the single -core lead.

Of course, this is just a basic requirement, and in fact, it will also be affected by many factors, such as injuries, so just say this.

It's like evaluating the historical status of a player. You can't just look at only one or two seasons, because there must be a peak and a trough, as strong as the Qiao gang owner.

Considering that Jordan was retired for the second time, he did not touch the ball for a long time, and it was the late career, or the league asked him to return.

Similarly, there is a personal performance of Kobe's personal performance, and the best time to lead the team, and even the previous team's performance is staggered.

Therefore, evaluating the players must still comprehensively comprehensively, consider all aspects.

However, Li Chengming's current career is too short. Next is his second season. It is hard to say what will happen.

But with his performance in the Olympic Games, he continued to maintain the status of last season. If there was no accident such as injuries, the problem was not big.

Of course, the rules of FIBA ​​and NBA are different, so it is not good to judge for no reason now.

He also needs to pass the physical fitness test after returning to the team to determine whether Li Chengming really has improved, not just outbreak or illusion.

As a result, it turns out that although Li Chengming was busy running the schedule during the period after the Olympic Games, he was usually a little free and there was no shortage.

As for the maintenance of the state, this should be attributed to the system.

But the rebound is actually some. After all, there are a lot of affairs. If you are too tired, you eat more, but you do n’t have so much exercise, so it is three or four kilograms more than before.

But this is definitely within the acceptance of Van Gandy. He originally thought that Li Chengming's weight would exceed the standard. For example, he was seven or eight kilograms. This was not a strange thing for "rebound" to go back before.

"Haha, okay, I think I'm still fatter ..."

"You are athletes, what is a pound of fat during vacation?"

Fan Gandi didn't care. The athlete's body should be maintained, but it is not so easy. The amount of exercise in training and competition is too large. If you want to maintain the same calories during vacation, then you will not be called vacation.

Even if it is a self -disciplined player, you need to relax slightly, otherwise if you have been tight, it is not only nervous, but it is not good to give the body too much pressure.

As long as the ups and downs are within the controlled range, it is a fast thing to adjust after the new season training.

"I also forgot to congratulate you, this time I won the bronze medal for your Chinese men's basketball team."

Li Chengzheng shrugged: "Unfortunately, I couldn't get the gold medal ..."

Fan Gandi laughed: "Do you really want to win the dream eight?"

"Dream Eight is not invincible, or if I win Mengba, I can't come to Mi Guo, and I will be threatened by fans?"

Fan Gandi laughed. In fact, Li Chengming had such a good mind for him. He was also worried that he was satisfied after winning the championship last season.

This is a big problem for the team committed to defending.

Compared with strength, there is no resoluteness to continue to win the championship, which will affect their status play in the new season.

For most players, it is definitely more important for the contract, so Evans will choose to leave, and the team also needs to add fresh blood.

This is like a catfish effect. There is a new player who has a long desire for the champion to stimulate the old players.

However, like Howard, Li Chengming's core teams, they do not need any additional motivation for the championship, because it is attractive enough for them.

It is not to say that for the future historical status, but to their children, if it is not to win, not for the final championship, what is the meaning of?

As for what data and historical status, that's the instead of this process.

This is actually the true meaning of competitive sports. Perhaps the winner is only one in the end, but the process of hard work and competition is actually enough to attract people.

"By the way, Dwatter has to run a training camp before the match. Are you with him, or ..."

Speaking of Fan Gandy's words, I want to help Li Chengming contact Howard and coordinate the relationship.

After thinking about Li Chengming, he shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm still practicing here ..."

In fact, he also wants to run a training camp. This is an opportunity to expand personal influence.

Maybe there will be some "disciples of Li Cheng" in the future, but now he seems to be not enough. The main thing is that there are not many people who come at that time, it is embarrassing.

So I have to slowly ...
