Chapter 131 I Waited For Three Years

The first game after the All-Star Game is another new "China Derby".

After being selected, Tang Zhengdong, who had hope, changed his mind in training and made great progress in his skills. He impressed the coaching staff of the Nets in the summer league and joined the Nets as he wished.

In the previous games, he averaged 8.7 minutes per game, 3.1 points and 2.4 rebounds. Later, with the reimbursement of Nenad Kostic for the season, his playing time gradually increased and he became the team's main player at the center position. One of the substitutes.

He also played on the bench in this game. Li Chongxiao did not miss this opportunity, broke through to the inside, hit Tang Zhengdong 2+1, and said the famous saying: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

In the previous game between the Rockets and the Nets, Yao Ming said the same thing after dunking on Tang Zhengdong's head.

After this game, for Li Chongxiao, he had to work hard to win the other games, and there was not much difference, except for the game against the Magic on March 3.

Before the game, Li Chongxiao approached Popovich, and in the surprise of the opponent, he took the initiative to ask for a substitute to play.Although the latter was puzzled, he still gave him the willful power and agreed to this approach.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs did not play poorly just because Li Chongxiao was not on the court.

More than half of the regular season has passed, and their tactics have long been adjusted. Ginobili is also a player with high golf intelligence, and he will not be uncomfortable because of the change of role.What's more, the Magic is not a strong team.

From the beginning, the Spurs maintained their lead, 4-2, 7-4, 13-6, and gradually opened up the score.

Halfway through the first quarter, Ginobili came off the court to recover his strength, and Li Chongxiao played quite well on the court, picking and rolling, passing and shooting according to tactics.

Seeing that Li Chongxiao didn't do anything out of the ordinary, his teammates were a little surprised. When he was in the locker room, he said that he needed help from his teammates in today's game, making everyone think that he had some conflicts to resolve.

Everyone guessed whether he was Dwight Howard, and what kind of troubles had been made in the All-Star Game. Only Duncan vaguely knew who Li Chongxiao was going to deal with.

Soon there was an official timeout, the Magic began to make substitutions, and Redick came on.

Li Chongxiao instantly regained his spirits, and since Redick was also playing shooting guard, the two immediately matched up.

He received Duncan's pass, took the ball forward, and faced Redick outside the three-point line. Li Chongxiao made a gesture, and his teammates opened up space when they saw this.

Redick is upset, and it's always been a shame that he was forced to apologize.After forcing Li Chongxiao away, he once thought that the other party would just sink, but unexpectedly, it was Long Huihai.

Three years later, the two met again, but their status has undergone earth-shaking changes.Although his performance in the NCAA last year made him selected in the lottery, the NBA doesn't care about your past.

Now Redick doesn't even have a solid bench position for the Magic, and the kid in front of him who he looks down on in front of him already has a championship in his hand and has been an All-Star starter for two consecutive years.

Li Chongxiao glanced at the stinky face in front of him with his eyes. Three years later, he was still so annoying.It fell into my hands today, so I have to prepare it well.

For the first ball, Li Chongxiao didn't play any tricks, just shooting. He practiced like usual, and easily threw the ball in front of the 1.9-meter-three Redick.

If it is not obvious that Li Chongxiao will target Redick again in this ball, it will be obvious in the next ball.

Jamil Nelson hit the ball and sent the ball to Li Chongxiao. Redick, who ran for two laps and failed to touch the ball, was not reconciled and started to press from the frontcourt.

Li Chongxiao's ball control training in the past few years was not for nothing. He pretended not to see, lured Redick to rush, and then dribbled the ball behind his back, allowing Redick's uppercut to go too far, and then pulled back, shaking the opponent. One staggered and almost fell.

When the home fans saw this scene, they burst into laughter, making Redick's face turn red and turn pale. They didn't dare to underestimate Li Chongxiao's ball-handling skills, so they could only run to the frontcourt honestly.

Just as he was in his defensive position, Li Chongxiao rushed over with a sudden acceleration and completed a split dunk.Redick didn't even react, and while maintaining a half-squat position, he turned his head and saw Li Chongxiao complete the dunk.

The audience may not have any reaction to these two goals, but teammates who are familiar with Li Chongxiao can tell that he is targeting Redick.

The bench began to whisper, not understanding what conflict Li Chongxiao had with this rookie.

The Spurs' players are either old players or international players. They don't know anything about the NCAA, so they don't know what the intersection of the two is.

After finishing the ball, Li Chongxiao let Redick take the ball in defense again, and then completed a steal and quick attack from the front, and then the first quarter of the game was over.

As soon as the second quarter started, seeing Li Chongxiao still on the court, Redick didn't want to be abused at all. Through the few matchups just now, he knew that his strength was far from the opponent's.

But he can't clearly explain the conflict between the two sides. This is not the NCAA, and it is not the team where he is the boss.In the Magic, his status does not allow him to have the slightest waywardness, so he can only bite the bullet and go into battle.

Seeing Redick play, Li Chongxiao gestured to Parker, and the latter passed the ball over according to the previous agreement.

Li Chongxiao held the ball in one hand and bent down as if he was going to break through. He took a step forward with his right foot, which caused Redick to move to the left in a hurry, and then suddenly received the ball as if he was going to shoot.

When Redick rushed over and stopped again, Redick yelled "Oops" in his heart, thinking that Li Chongxiao was going to pass him and break in.

But Li Chongxiao didn't choose to break through. He watched Redick pounce and chose to shoot. He hit a three-pointer and caused a foul, scoring a 3+1.

This ball helped the Spurs widen the point difference to 12 points. The head coach of the Magic didn't dare to let Redick face Li Chongxiao anymore and replaced him.

Li Chongxiao, who had no target to attack, returned to his normal playing style.The Spurs also took advantage of this wave of offensive climax, stepped up the pressure of offense and defense, and slowly expanded the score.

Throughout the first half and the third quarter, because the score kept falling behind, Redick never got a chance to play again. Li Chongxiao didn't hate the other Magic players, and played according to his normal performance.

The Magic, trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter, struggled for a few minutes, saw the gap getting bigger and bigger, gave up the game and replaced it with a substitute.

Li Chongxiao had just left the field for less than a minute. When he saw Redick enter the field, he immediately stood up and asked to play again.Popovich has been a good guy for the whole game, and it's not bad for these few minutes.

Redick just missed a shot and when he was about to return to defense, he saw the Spurs call a timeout, and then replaced Li Chongxiao.
