On the 14th, Li Fu, a foreign aid from Beijing Shougang team, accepted my exclusive interview. This is an exclusive interview that has been waiting for a long time, but there are different Liff stories in it. Among them, Cliff said that his favorite sport is fishing except basketball… Fishing, okay, welcome to George.
Beijing Shougang team introduced the former Guangzhou team’s inside foreign aid Liff during this off-season. Compared with Hamilton, who has played for the Shougang team for five seasons before, Lev is 7 years younger. This means that he is more energetic, physically stronger and more powerful. Liff’s position on the court is biased towards Number Four, which is also different from that of big Han. In terms of playing style, Liff prefers to finish the end of the attack facing the breakthrough of RIM. Although Li Fu’s shooting ability was not outstanding when he played for Guangzhou last season, he was actually a big player with a basket. In his scout report when he participated in the NBA draft that year, he wrote that one of the major advantages of Cliff was his strong shooting ability. In an exclusive interview with me on the 14th, life revealed that he did not waste every day during this off-season, and basically stayed in the gym and stadium. He also hired different types of coaches to help himself improve. Liff hopes to bring more things to Shougang team in the new season, including scoring, concatenating, rebounding, etc., to show his comprehensiveness and strive to deliver the best “meeting etiquette”. Song Xiang: how does it feel to join Shougang team? Lev: this excitement is hard to describe in accurate language. This is my second CBA season, and Shougang team is also a team with a championship tradition, which is exciting and exciting. I have been in the team for some days. I have communicated a lot with coaches and teammates. They are very kind to me and welcome me with open arms. To be honest, I can’t wait to start the new season with my teammates. Song Xiang: What do you want to bring to the team and what is the goal of the new season? “Cliff: I hope to bring a lot of things to the team, send the best” meeting etiquette “, and look forward to showing my comprehensiveness, including rebounding, attacking, etc. I hope to be a player who controls the game. As for the goal of the new season, I certainly hope to bring the team a championship in the new season. Song Xiang: I heard that you trained well in Xia, can you tell me more specifically? Lev: Yes, I have practiced systematically in the past summer, which makes me better. I will train basketball skills for six days in a week. At the same time, under the guidance of the physical coach, I have four weightlifting exercises every week, which makes me stronger. In addition, I do stretching training and core strength training twice a week. I usually relax and adjust on Sunday. Through this summer’s training, I have maintained a good body shape and state. I am stronger than before, and the continuity of simultaneous action and defense has also been enhanced. Song Xiang: What sports do you like most when you are leisure? Cliff; Fishing and golf. Fishing is my favorite, and this kind of fun can only be realized by those who play this sport. Every time when I return to America, I always go fishing to relax. Song Xiang: looking back on your career, in fact, your original NBA draft has a relatively high ranking, but the playing time in NBA is not very long. Last season you played for Guangzhou team and this season you are in Shougang team again. Why did you choose to play in CBA? Lev: I want to feel something different. I know many players who have played in many places and enjoyed the process. I hope so. If one day I can return to NBA, this is certainly a very good thing, But now my attention must be on Beijing Shougang team and the new season. Song Xiang: Who has the greatest influence on you in your basketball career? Do you have an NBA idol? Lev: My brother has the deepest influence on me. He is 6 years older than me. He played a very important role in my growth track. My brother has given a lot of help in life and on the court. It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not him, I would not be what I am now. In NBA, my favorite player is James, who grew up watching his games I am. He can do everything on the court and shows greatness. At the same time, outside the stadium, James also had a positive influence.
