Four preseason games, a total of two minutes on the field, four carries, for nineteen yards.
That's all of Li Wei's stats.
As a top running back who just signed a historic "ten-year, 200 million US Dollar" contract, these stats are indeed unimpressive and not worth mentioning.
Because of this, social media networks are full of criticism, claiming Li Wei refused to play in preseason games for contract negotiations, no different from Bell's strikes, appearing amicable on the surface but using dirty tactics behind the scenes.
This view hasn't gained wide acceptance.
In the four preseason games, anyone with eyes could see the truth:
Li Wei was present throughout, not only actively participating in the offensive group's tactical discussions but also continuously communicating with offensive players, let alone his harmonious relationship with the coaching group. Those claims are pure nonsense.
Of course, envious eyes are always watching, haters will always hate.
