NBA: You said you would give up, and now you’ve won three consecutive championships?

After Li Feng returned to China, many domestic media followed up with reports.

Even the phrase "some fries" said at the airport was put on the front page of the news.

It’s not because these media outlets have suddenly become kind.

The main reason is that Li Feng, who just led his team to win the championship in the summer league, has become unprecedentedly popular in the country!

This is the first time in all these years since Yao Ming retired that fans have truly felt the excitement of a promising future.

As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. When the praises were overwhelming, everyone seemed to have forgotten the ridicule and abuse when Li Feng first entered the NBA.

However, some bloggers still don't care about this.

Well-known basketball commentator Wang Yi said on his social media:

"Everyone, please don't be overly optimistic. Li Feng's strength has not yet been tested in the NBA. Moreover, this is his first time participating in a world-class competition. It is still unknown what level he will reach."

"We've seen many players in the past who performed well in the CBA and other leagues of the same level, but quite a few of them faltered in international competitions."

"Isn't it a bit naive for everyone to pin their hopes on a player like him who doesn't attend training and doesn't obey arrangements?"

"I don't mean to discourage you all, but I don't think Li Feng will be the savior of the Xia Guo men's basketball team, nor will he become the pillar of the Xia Guo men's basketball team like Yao Ming."

"Of course, you may be very angry about what I said, but we are speaking the truth and just wait and see the result of the game!"

As a media person with many years of experience, Wang Yi has a lot of say in the industry and has many loyal fans.

However, this did not prevent his comment section from being bombarded by excited netizens.

However, Wang Yi was not panicked. In the first game, the Xia men's basketball team faced the American Dream Team led by Durant!

win?

There is no way it is possible to win.

It can even be said that losing without being too embarrassing is already a victory.

In any case, Li Feng will definitely not be able to put on a brilliant performance against the Dream Team, which is why he dares to go against everyone else.

……

Shangjing, the Olympic training ground.

Of the twelve people who are going to the Olympics, all eleven except Li Feng have arrived. Even people like Guo Ailun have been training for more than half a month.

Head coach Gong Luming has been frowning about the current training results.

"It's still a little bit..."

On the side, Coach Li Nan said:

"This year's athletes are in great shape. Are we being a little pessimistic?"

"Pessimistic? I don't think so." Gong Luming shook his head and said, "The schedule is now finalized, and our first game is against the American Dream Team."

"The Dream Team has always been the unshakable leader in Olympic basketball, and we will eventually face them, so there's no need to worry."

"The first battle is full of energy, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted. The momentum of the first battle is very important."

Li Nan also nodded, and he agreed with what he said.

Indeed, if you lose your fighting spirit in the first game, it will be difficult to achieve ideal results in the subsequent games.

On the court, as Wang Zhelin's turnaround hook shot missed all three attempts, head coach Gong Luming sighed softly again.

"People say that without James and Kobe, this year's Dream Team isn't the dominant force it once was. But I think if the Xia Guo men's basketball team wants to avoid a crushing defeat, they need a key player to break the deadlock. At the very least, someone who can play inside and outside with Yi Jianlian and support the offense at crucial moments!"

"Key role?" Coach Li Nan murmured in a low voice.

Gong Luming turned his head and asked:

"Do you think Li Feng can do it?"

"Li Feng?"

Although they are all members of the Li family, Li Nan has obviously heard a lot about his "glorious deeds".

For example, he was photographed going out to a nightclub the day before the game, or he made six of his teammates vomit in the biggest bar in Beijing, but he was fine...

There are countless messages like this.

Even at the Olympic training camp, he was the last one to arrive.

I feel unsure about letting Li Feng play the key role!

Seeing Li Nan's hesitation, Gong Luming smiled and said:

"I just mentioned it casually, but you saw that Li Feng's performance in the summer league was indeed good."

"But without training, no one can guarantee anything. Furthermore, his proficiency in tactics and his chemistry with his teammates are also issues."

Li Nan pointed out the issues that need to be addressed.

But Gong Luming smiled:

"We practice like this every year, but our performance in international competitions keeps getting worse. Maybe a change of formation wouldn't be a bad thing."

“…” Li Nan was silent. He couldn’t refute.

At this moment, the door of the training ground was pushed open.

Li Feng walked in with a smile.

"Everyone, you're welcome and safe."

When everyone saw Li Feng, they were stunned at first, and then they greeted him warmly.

The court is still a place where strength is tested, and his previous performance has won everyone's recognition.

Guo Ailun walked up first and punched him on the shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back? Are you drifting off?"

"Haha, I was too busy and forgot."

"Come over and play a few balls. I want to see if your NBA level is real."

Guo Ailun swung his shoulders, pressing his joints until they crackled, looking eager to try.

Li Feng smiled and refused:

"No, I've only been back for a few days, please let me go..."

However, before Guo Ailun could say anything, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng and others surrounded him.

"Stop talking nonsense and fight. After the fight, we'll have a few more moves with you."

"That's right, even if I can't make it to the NBA, it's not bad to play for those who can!"

"Dude, you're saying tongue twisters, don't you bite your tongue?"

……

Everyone was talking at once and pushed Li Feng to the center of the stadium.

Without even giving him time to change clothes and warm up, they just stuffed the ball into his hands.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, I can't wait."

Guo Ailun was already ready for defense at this time, ready to fight Li Feng with real weapons.

"Are you really going to fight?" Li Feng was helpless.

"Nonsense, am I kidding you two?"

"Okay, how many?"

"Hit five balls in a row." Guo Ailun said directly.

Li Feng looked at the people next to him and asked:

"You guys are going to fight later?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Only the eldest brother Yi Jianlian smiled helplessly, but did not say anything to stop it. He just stood by with his shoulders crossed and watched the fun.

Li Feng sighed. This group of people were planning to tire themselves to death.

Five goals per person, or a round-robin game?

I should have waited until the day before the game...

Li Nan wanted to get everyone back to training, but Gong Luming stopped him and said calmly:

"Isn't it great that young people are so energetic? By the way, I also want to see how much progress he has made since he decided to go to the NBA."
