Little hope

Little hope
"Li Pu and Dayao are different. Dayao is a core player, while Lipu is just a blue-collar player. He has no independent offensive ability and is of little help to the national team!"
"Fart! His defense can definitely improve the national team to more than one level!"
"Does the national team lack a center now? We have a general and a big gap, and our strength is no weaker than that of European and American teams. What we lack is a good defender who can give the ball to the inside!"
"I agree with this. I think it is better to naturalize Lin Shuhao than to naturalize Li Pu! He is also an NBA-level guard after all, and he is also a pure yellow man!"
"Silly X, are you choosing a dog? A purebred? Do you understand? Although Li Pu grew up abroad, his nationality has not been canceled in China, which means that he is Chinese and does not need to be
Naturalized, Lin Shuhao is from Chou country, these are two completely different concepts!"
"The guy upstairs knows how to be a football player, so I'll be the best!"
As the Olympics get closer and closer, there are more and more discussions in domestic basketball forums about whether Lip should be selected for the national team.
However, along with these discussions, there are more and more corresponding doubts.
Some question his ability, some question his nationality, and some question his bloodline.
In short, the chaotic discussion made Li Pu's blood pressure soar after seeing these comments, and his expression almost matched that of Mr. Guan.
"Fuck my grandma's legs, why am I going to have a problem while I'm serving the country?"
"You, don't be too excited. After all, you are not one of their own trained by them. It is normal to be questioned!" Zhang Mingji thought that Li Pu did not know the unique situation in the country, so he patiently explained to Li Pu.
"Oh, I understand. I don't care whether they give in or not!"
"Don't be angry. If you can really be selected for the national team, it will definitely be good for your image. If you can lead the national team to achieve good results, your image will definitely improve a lot! This is all money!
"
How could Li Pu not know what Zhang Mingji said?
He talks about doctrines and is all about business in his heart. Perhaps joining the national team does not make any money, but the commercial value behind it is huge.
But Li Pu’s desire to join the national team is not just about money.
As a fan in his previous life, when he saw the national team always disappointing people, he really wished he could play for them, but it was a pity that he was not strong enough.
Now that I finally have the strength, not only is it not taken seriously by others, but it is also questioned by others. Even if you want to join, you have to look at other people's faces.
This feeling of kneeling down to beg for food is really uncomfortable.
In fact, Li Pu also knows very well that in the final analysis, it is those people in China who do not recognize his strength.
After all, not every leader understands football. They have so many things to do, how can they have time to watch football?
If they have an MVP, a championship, and status like Kobe, James, and Durant, how could they not consider it?
Sure enough, I am still too weak!
"Is there still no news from Blue Shoes?"
"I asked someone to inquire, and they said it's still being discussed in a meeting!" Zhang Mingji couldn't help but comfort him when he saw Li Pu's gloomy look.
As Zhang Mingji said, within Blue Shoes, the discussion about Li Pu is indeed very intense, not even much worse than on external forums.
"Let me make it clear first that I don't agree with this! After all, he is not one of our own. Who can guarantee his discipline? If a mistake is made, who will bear the responsibility?"
"If you give up such an active NBA player because you are afraid of taking responsibility, and if the team does not perform well in the Olympics this year, then who will take the responsibility?"
In the conference room of a small attic on Longtan Road in the DC District of Kyoto City, tensions were rising and the scene was so tense that it was suffocating.
"Stop talking about grades. If we really recruit him, how much can our grades be improved?"
"Yes, I still agree with Director
"Let's vote with a show of hands! If you agree, please raise your hands!"
Looking at the scattered hands raised in the conference room, the leader who strongly advocated recruiting Li Pu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt that there was little hope for the national team's prospects for the Olympics this time!
Little did Li Pu know that it had already been decided whether he could fight for his country.
Of course, even if he knew about it, Li Pu couldn't do anything. The most he could do was say: Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!
At this time, after persuasion by Zhang Mingji and others, he had focused his attention on the game.
On May 27, the day after the tiebreaker between the 76ers and the Celtics, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals was about to begin.
Compared with last year's Western Conference Finals, this year's Western Conference Finals has attracted more attention. Before the game, tickets for the first Western Conference Finals have been sold for more than 2,000 US dollars, and they are still very affordable.
It's no wonder that last year the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals as a dark horse, and no one was prepared at all.
After all, no one expected that such a young team that was only in the first round of the playoffs last year could reach the Western Conference Finals in the second year.
This year, the Thunder entered the playoffs as the league's No. 1 team and were already the favorites to win the championship. Naturally, they started to hype this series from the early stage.
In addition, although Oklahoma City is a small city, the football market is very hot and the fans are very enthusiastic, so the price of game tickets has also risen.
But no matter how high the price was, it could not resist the enthusiasm of the fans. One hour before the game started, all the high-priced tickets had been sold out.
"OKC is definitely the champion! We have the best talent in the league and the brightest future. We have KD, Russell, and Prince. We are not afraid of GDP or the Big Three of the Heat!"
"We have MVP and DPOY, the best offense and the best defense, we are the best team!"
"OKC must win!"
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
Originally, Wang Xing and Duan Ran were just interviewing one person. Unexpectedly, one person shouted a slogan and instantly mobilized a group of people, causing a large number of people in front of the arena to chant crazily.
This scene is so spectacular, Wang Xing has never seen it in his life!
Wang Xing thought he had seen the most enthusiastic Thunder fans, but today he discovered that he still underestimated their enthusiasm!
Seeing the happiness and confidence on every fan's face, Wang Xing felt the same way and wanted to see the Thunder win immediately.
However, just three hours later, Wang Xing wanted to slap these fans in the face who raised the flag!
98:101, the Thunder lost the first game of the Western Conference Finals to the Spurs at home!
