Alongside the Yanjing Ancient Canal, there is a Communication University, which can be said to be the most desirable school for all journalists in the entire land of China.

However, compared with the school's reputation, the dormitory conditions are not that good.

Of course, this kind of thing also needs to be compared.

Compared with the dormitories of some universities where eight or ten people live in a room, the dormitories here are not that bad.

There are four people in a room, with a bed and a desk. You have to cross an overpass every day to get to the campus, and you have to walk a lot more to go to class.

"Creak!" The dormitory door made a heartbreaking sound.

"Oh, I'm finally back!"

"Fourth Brother, I brought you some food!"

"Is it braised chicken again?"

"Eat it if you like it, or I'll take it away if you don't!"

"I eat, I eat!"

"What's it called?"

"Dad, I was wrong!"

After some bickering, Wang Xing's roommate happily went to eat, while Wang Xing also sat at the computer desk and turned on the computer.

Turn on the phone, log in to QQ, RenRen, open the browser, and then Wang Xing logged into a certain forum that he likes to read.

As an ordinary college student, Wang Xing has loved basketball since he was a child, and has been following the NBA every day since he entered middle school.

Although the season is over, he still likes to hang out on the forum and brag with the juniors!

However, when he opened a certain game today, what caught his eye was a top-of-the-line news item: "Two Chinese faces have joined the Thunder, and the Thunder will become the home team of 1.3 billion people in the new season!"

"Here I go, another Chinese person has entered the NBA?" Wang Xing said in surprise.

"What? Who?"

"Is it Chen Jiang dialect?"

"Impossible, what else does Chen Jiang say besides speed? It can't be Zhang Zhaoxu, right?"

"That's even more impossible!"

Wang Xing's excited shouts attracted crowds from other people in the dormitory. The fourth child put down the braised chicken in his hand, and the boss jumped down from the upper bunk, and everyone gathered around Wang Xing.

Obviously, whether you like watching football or not, you are still excited after hearing that another Chinese player has entered the NBA.

What's more, this dormitory is full of football fans.

Wang Xing dragged the mouse and clicked on the news.

"Yesterday, at 10 a.m. local time on July 1st in the United States, Chinese player Li Pu and Chinese player Lin Shuhao officially signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Li Pu also became the fifth Chinese player to land in the NBA..."

"Who is Li Pu? Who is Lin Shuhao?"

For a moment, everyone in the dormitory looked at each other in shock. They had never heard of it!

Several people said nothing and signaled Wang Xing to continue dragging the mouse.

"Li Pu was selected by the Thunder with the 18th pick in the first round of this year's draft...

He was born in Shunde, Guangdong Province. In 1988, his father was transferred to Africa for work, fell in love with a local Rwandan woman, and gave birth to Li Pu. Later, he was massacred in Rwanda and his parents died, leaving them behind in Rwanda..."

As Li Pu entered the NBA, even though he has not played a game, his experience has been revealed. Even Li Pu's father's workplace and relatives in his hometown were found by reporters for interviews.

"I didn't expect that he would have such a tortuous experience!"

"That's right, look at how talented he is. If he stays in China, he will be the next female omen. What a pity!"

Unlike Americans, domestic fans are more sympathetic to Li Pu's experience.

Especially since he was alone, wandering overseas, and had no relatives. Under such a background, he was able to make it all the way to the NBA. It is really inspiring.

In comparison, these domestic players who have received good education and training since childhood are really helpless.

These poor players have suffered such an unthinkable disaster.

Well, it doesn’t seem to be pitiful or unreasonable...

Fans like Wang Xing and his dormitory who pay attention to Li Pu are happening all over the country, and this situation continues.

It wasn't until the news of the summer league continued to spread that this enthusiasm seemed to be poured with cold water.

Because Li Pu played so poorly in the summer league!

The Thunder played a total of three games in the summer league, and lost the first two games, both miserably.

In these two games, Lip averaged 8.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 10 fouls per game.

You are such a good guy, even 10 fouls are not enough for you!

Yes, in these two games, Lip was troubled by foul trouble and averaged less than 30 minutes of playing time per game.

Different from the previous trial training, the penalties in regular games were tighter, and Li Pu was not used to it.

He had no idea about the intensity of the referee's call, when to start and when to stop. Coupled with the very fast offensive and defensive rhythm and the tactical cooperation between the players, it was difficult for Li Pu to practice the defense he usually practiced.

Technology is revealed.

Tonight is the third game, and it is also the last game of the Thunder in the summer league. The game time has reached the last moment of the fourth quarter, and Lip miraculously is still alive on the court.

The Orlando Summer League is hosted by the Magic, and games are scheduled to be held at the Magic's training facility at the Amway Center.

There were only a few spectators sitting in the venue, and the attendance rate was very miserable.

Tonight’s game is between the Thunder and the Philadelphia 76ers. Compared to the Thunder, which is all unknown, the Pacers are still more famous than the Thunder.

There is no other reason than that the 76ers have Evan Turner, this year's second overall pick.

However, Turner's performance tonight was mediocre, with only 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 5 of 18.

Lip's defense of the penalty area still had a great impact on Turner.

But unfortunately, at this time, Li Pu is already standing on the edge of the cliff. Even though he has not committed enough fouls to leave the game tonight, he already has nine fouls in hand and is just one last trembling away from graduation.

His performance tonight was slightly better than in the previous two games, with a double-double of 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

It can be seen that as long as he is on the court, he can contribute to the team, but the premise is that he can stay on the court.

At this time, there were 36 seconds left before the end of the game, the score was 86:87, the 76ers were leading by one point and had the ball.

Turner held the ball at the top of the arc and was not in a hurry to attack. Although if he attacked at this time, it would give the Thunder a complete 24 seconds to attack and naturally have the last chance to attack.

But if you do this, if the goal is not scored, the team will lose the initiative, which is too risky.

Therefore, Turner decided to play it safe to ensure the success rate of the attack.

Finally, when there were eight seconds left in the attack time, Turner used the center's pick-and-roll, and Lip immediately changed defense and came to Turner.

Turner's ball control level is quite good, but his body is relatively mediocre and he does not have an eye-catching first step.

Therefore, Li Pu took a step back slightly to prevent Turner from breaking through.

Upon seeing this, Turner immediately chose to step back and take a mid-range shot.

He is very confident. This is definitely because Lip made a defensive mistake and underestimated his shooting.

Turner rose into the air, using a standard shooting posture, taking off, raising his arm, shooting, pushing his elbow, and pressing his wrist, all in one go.

However, at this moment, Li Pu's figure was like a mountain bearing down on him. He stepped in front of Turner and slapped the basketball with his big hand.

"This..." Turner's reaction at this time was exactly the same as Lin Shuhao's at the time, completely disbelieving that this was something a human being could do.

The basketball flew high in the air. Although Li Pu covered the ball, he did not control it.

Li Pu, who was on the ground, saw this and quickly took off again. Also taking off at the same time as him were Turner and the 75ers center.

Facing the fight between the two, Li Pu jumped up high, waved his long arms, and grabbed the ball in his arms. However, before he could call a timeout, Turner immediately stepped forward and fouled.

"Damn guys!" After seeing this scene, Li Pu finally realized that they were actually executing the shark-killing tactic against him!
