Chapter 62 Li Chengming became famous

When the game was going on, it was late at night in the United States, but it was still daytime on the other side of the ocean. Then after the game ended, after a fermentation at noon, all relevant online forums and Tieba discussion areas were boiling in the afternoon.

Since the turn of the millennium, the domestic Internet has developed rapidly, and the number of Internet users has increased rapidly every year. Fans who watch the NBA have gradually shifted from offline chats to online discussions.

"Look, Li Chengming dunks on James! [Picture]"

"This is still a headline, is it true or false?"

"Don't you know how to read English?"

"Can any buddy help me translate?"

"The general idea is that in today's game between the Cavaliers and the Magic, Li Chengming dunked on James. In the end, the Cavaliers also won. Li Chengming scored 16 points and James scored more than 30 points..."

"What the hell! Fat brother is so awesome. He's so awesome."

"Jamie, come out and fight in the lane. I'm having a great time today. I want to fight ten of them!"

"To be honest, when I looked at Li Chengming's physical test data before, I doubted whether the test was wrong. How could he jump so high with such a weight? No one has discovered this kind of talent. But looking at it today, this is really the peak.

O'Neal?"

"It seems that the starting height of the jump is indeed about the same. James was obviously unprepared and did not jump to the highest point, so he did not touch the ball. However, the fat brother's wingspan is indeed very strong. If it were shorter, he would really be covered. Big

Yao cried with envy."

"Li Chengming proved today that it's not that he can't fight like this, it's just that he has to protect his body and can't fight like this too often."

"Yeah, when I watched him play before, I really thought he was a floor player, bouncing like a matchbox, but it turns out he was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"What a pity. I didn't watch the game. I should have known I would have skipped class today."

"Mom, come out quickly and see God!"

"Today I am the fat basketball god!"

"Before there was Yao Yao, now there is Li Chengming. Space Yi should also come out soon. I want to watch the Chinese players in the NBA compete for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms."

…

For a rookie like Li Chengming, it is hard to predict how much such a goal will add to his popularity.

If in the past he was only favored by domestic fans because of his nationality, coupled with his performance as a rookie, it is indeed good.

He also had a good goal against James in the preseason, but the impact in the preseason was not that big, and not many people paid attention to it. So after this goal, Li Chengming suddenly became more fans because of his "skills".

fans.

In fact, the sensation in the United States is no less than that in China, especially since this event was broadcast live across the United States, and it was impossible to confiscate the videotape.

Among the top five goals and the top ten goals, this goal ranks first, which is equivalent to repeatedly beating James to death.

Although league officials have been praising James in recent years, there have been an endless stream of new stars in the United States in recent years, and Kobe is still at his peak. James can only be regarded as the top star, not the only one or the most popular one.

And at the same time, they have been sparing no effort to develop overseas markets. In addition to Dayao, they also hope to produce another Chinese star, preferably younger, so that they can pick him up when Dayao retires.

stick.

Although this sacrificed James' face to a certain extent, they still had a chance to regain the situation. The worst thing they could do is arrange for the two to face off in the next game to give James more shots to let him come back again.

This is also the "evenly matched" scene that league officials always like to create, although saying it this way is a bit flattering to Li Chengming.

Ordinary fans in the United States still value strength. Li Chengming played well before. He didn't play many games, but his efficiency has been very high. He also has his own role, but there are only some passerby fans in Orlando.

His performance in the game against the Suns began to attract a lot of attention, but after this nationally broadcast game, he will have many more passerby fans, and some more die-hards, and there may even be people who hate him.

James likes him.

Of course, accordingly, he will also receive hostility from James fans.

In addition, he has been discriminated against because of his skin color. On Reddit, a new social news site in the past two years, some James fans even offered to hire a killer to assassinate Li Chengming. I didn’t know if this was a joke or sincere.

In the latest issue of TNT's NBA Insider column, several classic partners of retired stars such as Barkley and Kenny Smith also discussed this matter.

For these media people, they don't care whether they praise or criticize the current stars. The key lies in what is topical and can arouse discussion. This is also the pursuit of this kind of program. After all, ratings must make money.

"I'm not exaggerating to say that I really see the shadow of Shaq in him. But I want to say to you, Shaq, if you are watching, this kid may have a longer career than you. Maybe he

He can't reach your peak, but he knows how to protect himself."

"And I heard that he works much harder than you..."

Saying that Li Chengming resembles O'Neal is a voice that has been heard since Li Chengming joined the NBA. It is mainly about weight and body shape, and then they like to find some far-fetched points of connection, while ignoring that the two people actually have huge differences.

Of course, fans also like to watch this. After all, O'Neal has been praised, and Li Chengming can be compared with the legendary star. Fans on both sides are happy.

So who is unhappy?

"Hey guys, I think you have overlooked one issue, that is, when Shaq first entered the league, he was not in the shape he is now. At that time, he could run, jump and be very active, and then he gained muscle or gained weight.

. It was also after that that his injuries gradually increased."

"So what you mean is..."

"So what I mean is very simple. I am not very optimistic about his future. His physical condition is very dangerous. If he insists on playing like before, it may be much safer. Of course, the fans may not like it; but now

In this way, everyone likes to see it, but it is not a good thing for him.

"But for young people, it is understandable that they blindly pursue glamor because of the outside world's opinions, so I am not optimistic about him..."

…

When Jon came to school the next day, he was quickly surrounded by his friends in the class. The reason was very simple. They had watched yesterday's game.

"Lee is so awesome, that's LeBron!" A fat guy with a few freckles on his nose exclaimed, as if he had been dreaming about that scene yesterday.

"Yeah, I never thought that one day he would be able to dunk James in a game, and he actually did it!"

"I have thought of it a long time ago..." Jon said with a proud look on his face: "During the previous preseason, the two of them competed in China, and they even trained in Las Vegas earlier.

At that time, Li was not afraid of him at all."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that James couldn't even break through Lee's defense."

"With his wall-breaking skills, who can he break through without using his elbows to clear the way?"

"Haha, it looks like James is just like us."

These words made everyone laugh. To be honest, they were beaten so badly by Li Chengming last night that they almost vomited.

Although Li Chengming's body type itself is already very intimidating, and they have watched some of his games, there is still a big difference between watching the game and bumping into him live, and then experiencing the impact first-hand.

They couldn't understand the feeling of being hit by a wall before, but now they know it.

There are two people hanging on their bodies who can still score dunks. I have only seen and heard about O'Neal's glorious record on TV, and Li Chengming "did it too."

After the beating, they all felt very shameless and were directly pressed to the ground and rubbed.

But when I saw Li Chengming dunking on James yesterday, all the shadows in my heart suddenly disappeared.

The superstars in the NBA are all his background, so who are we?

At this time, Jon suddenly asked: "Should we ask him to fight again next time?"

"..."

Everyone was silent for a while, then one said that the weather was really nice today, and the other said that they had eaten too much breakfast and wanted to go for a walk first, and after a while they all dispersed.

Jon curled his lips and then smiled.

Now you won't bother me with this matter again in the future, right?

…

Li Chengming woke up early this morning and found that all the bones in his body seemed to be weak. Then he realized that fighting back to back was still too much for him now.

To be honest, I didn’t feel much during the game last night. Maybe it was because I was excited at the time. As I was playing, energy was constantly flowing out of my body to support myself. As a result, it has become a sequelae now.

But compared with after the game against the Suns, it doesn't feel that exaggerated now. Maybe it's just like the team doctor said, he just hasn't fully adapted to the intensity of the NBA, and he will get used to it after playing a few more games.

In fact, physical strength can of course be developed, and another issue is getting used to it.

Of course, Li Chengming would not lie down on the bed. He still pushed himself up and did some stretching exercises. After eating, he went to help McGilton's family walk the dog to eat. He also met some fans on the way.

After greeting them, there were two fans who wanted autographs and photos, and they were satisfied.

Now he is relatively well-known in Orlando, and his fans are gradually increasing, which is a good thing.

Maybe in the near future, endorsements or something will come.

But when he came back from shopping, his father told him the good news with a bright face: "TNT, you know, they have sent an invitation to let you have time to record a program for them."

"I?"

Father Li chuckled and said, "Of course it's you, is it still me?"

Li Chengming laughed dryly twice before saying, "Could it be because of that goal again?"

In fact, it wasn't just because of that one goal, because Li Chengming had some good performances before that, making him a leader among rookies, but this goal suddenly detonated all the previous accumulation.

In addition, the Magic team is now in good momentum, with Howard's violent dunks, Turkoglu's threading the needle, and Li Chengming's footsteps in the low post. The overall tactical play is also good, which has attracted a group of fans.

Of course, Li Chengming has also received high attention personally.

Of course, the main reason is still because of that goal. Li Chengming became famous this time by riding on the popularity of James, just like James rode on the popularity of Jordan and Kobe.
