At this time, McGrady was far from the superstar in people's minds. He really started to make a name for himself with the Magic.

Tracy McGrady of the Raptors is just a young man with good talent, nothing more.

In other words, although Li Ang is not the absolute core on the offensive end, he is not unable to touch the ball.

The main reason why the Raptors chose him was probably because of his defensive and rebounding abilities.

Simply the earliest documented 3...0D player!

This is actually quite good, because Li Ang's independent offensive capabilities have not yet been fully developed.

If Li Ang is given too much ball power, he won't be able to digest it. He can't trample him throughout the whole game, right?

NBA games are not about being reckless.

If you don't have that ability and still have to force yourself to do it, you will easily be labeled as a parallel import.

First, let's develop behind Carter and McGrady for a season and develop more scoring methods.

After all, Li Ang can freely choose which abilities to add after upgrading.

Therefore, there is no such problem as not being able to practice offense.

Use the experience points gained from rebounding to increase offensive ability.

This is not about making money standing up, it is about making money by jumping.

If Tracy Wang still leaves the Raptors as in the original history, then after his insignificant development, Li Ang will be able to seamlessly connect, smoothly take over, and dunk the baskets of every NBA arena with Brother Carter!

I'm quite the planner!

That night, Li Ang couldn't sleep.

All he could think about was playing in the NBA in the future.

Do you think there will really be a legend of the top five shooting guards in the future?

That cauliflower head of the Lakers plays like a McDuck.

That cornhead from Philadelphia breaks through as fast as the wind.

Canada's bald guy can dunk like a tiger.

The bald cousin is elegant and picturesque.

There is also a King Li who scores more points in the board game!

A shooting guard who can't rebound is not a good power forward.

The next day, Li Ang woke up with dark circles under his eyes.

In the dream, he dunked on Shaquille O'Neal, and his face was stunned. His strength explained what it means to have everything in a dream.

As soon as he woke up, Bart Stern started knocking on the door "bang bang bang".

"Li, get up and make some money!"

Li Ang opened the door and found that Bart Stern was holding a pile of contracts, all of which were draft contracts for commercial endorsements.

Although Li Ang has not entered the league and played a game, he is the first Chinese to be selected by the NBA.

The commercial value is not low at all.

Now these are small endorsements and the contracts are not particularly big.

But it was enough for Li Ang to earn hundreds of thousands before entering the league, and he was somewhat troubled.

Now, not only China, but the entire Asia has set off a basketball storm.

Domestically, news is overwhelming that Li Ang and Wang Zhizhi have been drafted in the NBA.

In the domestic fan circle, it can be said that everyone knows about Wang Zhizhi.

And Li Ang's ranking is a whole round higher than Wang Zhizhi!

Think about how much of a shock this is to Chinese fans.

In Shanghai, a young boy with a bad ear bought several newspapers from the newsstand next to the egg-filled cakes, all just to read the sports section.

Looking at the Chinese man wearing a Raptors baseball cap and shaking hands with Stern on the stage, the young man's eyes were full of yearning.

And Li Ang's words, "It's not just me, I also know that there are many excellent basketball players in China, and they can actually play in the NBA" gave him great encouragement.

The 1999 Asian Championships is coming soon, which will be the beginning of Yao Ming's national team career.

He must try his best to seize every opportunity to perform!

Wang Zhizhi looked at Li Ang in the newspaper with some envy.

Because he is about to play in the Asian Championships, although he has been selected, he cannot report to the NBA yet.

I don’t know when I will actually be able to land in the NBA.

I really look forward to playing against another person with yellow skin and black hair in the NBA!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Weidong smiled softly, put down the newspaper, and continued training.

NBA, if it weren't for the damn injuries, I should have had a chance...

People from the Basketball Association looked at the newspapers and looked forward to Li Ang even more.

This year's Asian Championships, they did not invite Li Ang.

After all, no matter how good Li Ang is, he is still a student player who has never played in a professional game.

They want to see how Li Ang performs in the NBA next season before considering whether to take him to the 2000 Olympics.

CCTV is also preparing to increase the number of NBA broadcasts next season. Last season, CCTV only broadcast NBA on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and most of them were recorded broadcasts.

Now that a Chinese player has gone to the NBA, everyone is paying more attention to it. We might as well broadcast more Raptors games next season.

In this era where print media dominates, it is incredible that Li Ang, an athlete outside the system, has become so popular.

And in Ugly Country, there is also news about Leon in Toronto.

Reporters from some TV stations went to the streets to randomly interview fans and asked them what they thought of the Raptors' draft.

Li Ang's reputation is polarized.

Because in Canada, the NCAA is not as popular as in the ugly country.

Therefore, Leon is not particularly famous in Toronto.

Some fans who don't watch the NCAA think that the Raptors are like Shi Lezhi. There are no Chinese people who can play basketball, and they still play in the NBA.

Wouldn't it be nice for you to choose Hamilton and play the tired tactic?

Some fans who follow the NCAA are still relatively optimistic about Li Ang's prospects with the Raptors.

After all, in this era, fierce and muscular power forwards are very popular.

It doesn't matter whether fans think highly of Li Ang or not, but the two leaders of the Raptors take Li Ang very seriously.

In the afternoon, Grunwald and Isaiah Thomas met with Leon at a restaurant.

"I'm very happy that we can finally come together. If you perform well, we are willing to give you a main position next season. This is what Charles means. He believes that in the fourth position, you can do better than him.

We value your defensive ability, and of course your offensive talent. Next season, our goal is to hit the playoffs, and we hope you can be well prepared to help the team achieve its goals!"

Grunwald got straight to the point and started talking about the main position. He also added, "I also value your offensive talent."

Otherwise, how can I become a general manager? I have a very good grasp of emotional intelligence.

But it is true that this offensive talent also depends on who you compare with.

If compared with Oakley's eldest apprentice, Li Ang is simply full of offensive talent!

Li Ang is not a fool, he has also heard that there is a prerequisite for guaranteeing the main position - if you perform well.

Got it, the summer league is about to start, I will show you what Li Sanguang is on the court.

Li Ang didn't take a break, and after making money, he didn't indulge in young club models like Odangdang did.

The day after meeting with the team's two big bosses, he asked Bart Stern to book him a plane ticket to Long Beach.

The Southern California Summer League, which is about to start, will be held there!

The current summer league is different from the summer league that Li Ang knew in his previous life.

The current summer league is not large in scale, and it is not an official NBA event.

For example, this year's Southern California Summer League only has eight teams participating, and the competition venue is a high school gymnasium.

No live broadcast, not many viewers, nothing.

Although the scale is small, the level is not low, and the Southern California Summer League is no stranger to Chinese fans.

In 1996, Hu Weidong played against rookie Kobe Bryant here and scored 30 points.

During the game, there was also a big challenge against Kobe.

At that time, the Lakers were on a fast break, and Kobe saw the two teammates in front of him, but...

I just won’t pass it on!
