Before the warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Dream 5 team, the locker room.

"I will soon see He Li again, and the blood in my body has begun to boil!"

"He is actually just a child under 19 years old, don't care too much about him!"

"Yes, He Li has many helpers in the Bucks, and a great coach like George! But in the Chinese men's basketball team, his best helper is just a rookie who has not entered the NBA!"

Before the warm-up match began, the players of the Dream Team 5 had already begun to discuss He Li.

For the Bucks' master, everyone will not underestimate He Li, but in another team, everyone's views become different.

"Everyone is saying that He Li is ready to appear on the stage of the World Championships! But you should know that whether it is the World Championships or the Olympics, this is the stage for the Dream Team to demonstrate its dominance!"

Reggie Miller, who is already a veteran, said this as the locker room leader of this Dream Team 5.

Reggie Miller continued to smile and said to everyone: "I'm already an old guy!

But I remember that I was once a chaser who was a great player and a champion!

That's right, in the playoffs last season, I even lost to the little guy He Li.

But isn’t this the case for us? Let us be the chasers again and catch up with He Li!”

Reggie Miller just finished speaking, Byron Davis continued: “I should have been on vacation!

But we have come here, so let’s win all the games!

Otherwise, if you don’t bring anything back, you will feel very unwilling to accept it.”

"Byron is right! We don't have to be forced to win the championship, we should take the initiative!" Pierce tied his shoelaces and stood up from his seat.

There is no doubt that the 12 players of the Dream Five team have united and are ready to go, hoping to win the Chinese men's basketball team led by He Li in one fell swoop in the warm-up match, laying the foundation for winning this World Championship.

In the eyes of the Dream Five team, the only thing that threatens them in this World Championships is the Chinese men's basketball team, which has the new FMVP He Li.

As long as you can defeat the Chinese men's basketball team in the warm-up match, all the problems will be solved in the future.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see He Li! He is the disciple I admire the most!" George Carl walked into the locker room and prepared to take Team Dream 5 to the field.

Soon, the players of both teams entered the stadium and began to participate in the warm-up session.

"Ha? Why do I feel that He Li is fat?"

"Haha, I feel this way too. He Li's face is swollen. It's not that he drank too much water last night, right?"

"It is said that He Li likes to drink hot water and often holds a thermos cup. If he drinks too much water, it is not impossible."

Most people are laughing at He Li, only Reggie Miller remains sober.

"You can tell if you look at He Li's arms. He is indeed fat, but he is stronger!

You don't think he is undisciplined, do you?

Have you forgotten what Kobe said? He Li has seen Milwaukee and Los Angeles at 4 a.m.!

He Li is a player who can regard hard work as a talent!

Everyone, He Li has gained weight, He Li has become stronger!"

After a off-season, it is not uncommon for forward players to become fat in the NBA. Rainman Kemp and Wen Baker are typical examples of the sudden fall of superstars and All-Stars in recent years.

This is mainly because of the lack of self-discipline of black players. Many players of the Dream Team Fifth team saw He Li's face rounder, and subconsciously thought that He Li was like them, just like those degenerates.

Only a few people like Reggie Miller can see through the truth at a glance.

"Jermaine, maybe the gap between you and He Li has become even bigger!" Reggie Miller looked at O'Neal Jr. and sighed.

Little O'Neal noticed the big brother Miller's eyes and nodded firmly.

O'Neal Jr. practiced hard for one offseason in preparation for helping the Pacers counterattack the Bucks next season.

Now that He Li has discovered changes, O'Neal Jr. is paying more and more attention to a powerful opponent like He Li.

That's right, O'Neal did not lose his fighting spirit because of He Li's strength.

After realizing that He Li has gained weight, O'Neal Jr. hopes to feel He Li's strength again, and hopes to become stronger through targeted training in the next stage and solve He Li in a tougher way.

"When I discovered that a person who is more talented than me works harder than me, I can only work harder than him!"

Just when O'Neal Jr. made up his mind, Pierce stood up to take charge of the overall situation.

"That's right, we can see that He Li has gained weight, and maybe he can play unlimited singles like Michael Jordan!

However, we are the Dream Team, and we will definitely take the initiative.

After all, the game is not one-on-one, but five-on-five!"

After learning that there were helpers like O'Neal, Pierce quickly realized the benefits of playing team basketball.

Therefore, as the nominal leader of the Dream Five team, Pierce also pays attention to teammates and mobilizes everyone's enthusiasm than any player.

"Brothers, let's go. I think He Li is ready to enjoy a doomed game!"

Pierce led the team to warm up.

During the warm-up period, He Li did not have much contact with the players of the Mengwu Team. He had no acquaintances anyway, so he didn't need to say hello, but most of them were competitors.

However, the head coach of the Dream Five team is George Carl. No matter what, He Li has to run to George Carl to say hello.

"George, you look good lately? Have you figured out how to defeat us? Haha."

"Don't worry, I'm very happy today, I'll give you something special!"

I have to say that this is really a deep relationship between master and apprentice and does not have such a good relationship. Most people really can't joke like this.

The warm-up ended soon and the competition began.

In the Bucks, he usually comes from the jump ball, but in the men's basketball team, he doesn't need to take everything personally and take big things.

Yao Ming and Da Ben jumped the ball, but Da Ben was better at it, and the Dream Team won the ball rights.

Because He Li played the third position, Pierce also played the third position, and Pierce was the leader of the Dream 5 team.

Therefore, Mengwu team's first attacker did not choose to overcome the men's basketball team's weak outside defense and directly shot outside the three-point line, but handed it to Pierce to single He Li.

To put it a little bit, the three-point line in the International League is basically the long two-point area of ​​the NBA.

In this NBA outside star, when basically all of them are good at shooting two points, they will actually shoot very well in the International League three-pointers.

For example, after Jordan won three consecutive championships in 1993, he announced that he would play baseball instead of retirement. Before retirement, Jordan's three-point shooting percentage was only 35.2%.

After that, the league shortened the three-point line, but I didn’t expect Jordan to come back in 95, and it was also the three-point line that shortened. Without hard practice and regaining basketball skills, Jordan’s three-point shooting percentage soared to 50%!

Until the 1996 season, the number of three-point shots increased, and the shooting percentage was as high as 43%.

Through Jordan's example, we can roughly understand what the advantages of NBA outside stars play in the international league.

On the contrary, inside stars, because of their joint defense, cannot be completely unsolvable like the NBA.

Back to the point, today's game is just a warm-up match after all. The players of the Dream Five team didn't know much about the World Championships before, and they even had no preparations and signed up for it.

Pierce attacked with the ball, not for the sake of attack, so he did not use a simple way to help Team Dream Five score and win this warm-up match.

What Pierce is looking forward to is to understand earlier what kind of strength He Li has now!

At the same time, in addition to Pierce, the rest of the Dream Team are also paying attention to He Li, paying attention to Pierce and He Li's fight this time, this wave of offense and defense.

"You can't defend me by relying on defense alone!"

Pierce came to He Li, trying to pass He Li with a tentative step while using trash talk, intending to distract He Li in this way.

This is not the first time He Li has fought with Pierce, and he is already immune to Pierce's trash talk.

Pierce is extremely skilled in using tentative steps, and can usually use skills to make up for his shortcomings of his unfast breakthrough speed.

If someone else comes to defend, he may be immediately hit and will be directly beaten by Pierce.

But He Li has experience in playing against Pierce and has great physical advantages.

He Li directly pressed his body up. Pierce felt the pressure from He Li and immediately stepped out to run.

He Li followed horizontally, then reached out to take out the ball.

"Oh no, this ball is going to be lost!" Pierce and He Li fought more than once, knowing that He Li's stealing ability is good.

So Pierce could only turn around and take a step, jump and forcefully attack.

He Li was slow to get the ball and could only use his other hand to block Pierce's shot.

Fortunately, Pierce made a hasty move and the jump was unstable, so the ball did have an interference effect.

Pierce missed a jump shot.

Because it was the rules of the International League, the men's basketball team used joint defense, and Yao Ming and roughly stood at the basket.

Big Ben and O'Neal, who played in the International League for the first time, did not get a good position and grabbed the board.

In the end, Yao Ming accepted the rebound and immediately passed the ball to He Li.

Before, He Li and Yao Ming practiced the triangular offense and did not practice in vain. Yao Ming and He Li played together, so it was easy to find He Li's position. When grabbing the backcourt rebound to launch a counterattack, Yao Ming would pass the ball to He Li as soon as possible.

The same is true this time. He Li got the ball and immediately counterattacked the fast break and advanced with the ball.

Byron Davis accelerated to He Li, who passed the ball to Liu Wei who was following him, who dribbled the ball to the basket.
