Chapter Seventy-Nine: Provocation
"Good morning, Stone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Good morning, Jenny!"
When I went out in the morning, I happened to meet my neighbor Jenny, and the two of them greeted each other. Since the events of that day, the two of them will always exchange a few words when they meet, and their impression of each other has gradually deepened, and gradually the relationship has become very good, although they are not friends, at least they are not tired of each other.
"The weather is good today."
"Yes, nice weather." Shi Lei echoed casually. Today's neighbor is dressed very casually, wearing a thickened sportswear, and a pair of sneakers that are more convenient to walk on, Shi Lei subconsciously asked: "You don't need to go to work today?" ”
Jenny shrugged: "No, I'm a freelancer, I work at home, and it was just a little accident that day." ”
The two of them were talking, and they walked out together.
"Oh, that's enviable, at least not to get yourself busy, to be able to spend your time freely."
It should be because of my sister's relationship, right? Shi Lei thought so in his heart, he didn't want to talk about other people's privacy, and he didn't want to show ridiculous pity for the unfortunate, so he said this.
"Not bad." Jenny nodded, tilted her head suddenly and asked Shi Lei, "Are you a basketball player?" ”
Shi Lei glanced at his neighbor unexpectedly, and then remembered that he seemed to have deliberately concealed his profession from the other party.
"Yes, I'm playing for the Celtics."
"You seem to be a basketball star, and I often see reports about you in the newspapers."
"No, I'm just a sub, and the media doesn't like me." Speaking of which, Shi Lei had already come to his car.
"Don't worry about that, have a nice day!"
"Thank you, and the same blessings, goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Shi Lei started his car and drove to the basketball hall, there was no game today, but the team had training.
Shi Lei usually arrives earlier, and he has to spend some time practicing basic skills and shooting.
As the training time approached, teammates came to the basketball hall one after another, and people were accustomed to Shi Lei's early arrival, some of them entered the locker room after saying hello from afar, and some would come over specifically to say a few words to Shi Lei, such as James, who had a good relationship with him. Posey, and Brian, who has a good personality.
Shi Lei finally finished the last set of training before the coach arrived, he put the basketball aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked silently towards the locker room.
The dressing room is one of the most intimate spaces in a team, where the players are relatively relaxed, and people change into training uniforms in groups and talk about interesting stories or topics of interest to each other.
When Shi Lei came out of the shower room, his teammates were ready and ready to go, waiting for the arrival of the coaching staff in the rest chair.
Under his locker room, Shi Lei saw a magazine that had fallen on the floor, and he bent down to pick it up, and between the pages that had been opened, it was a report about him.
The accompanying image is a close-up of him being fouled by Billups.
"The King's foul!"
The source of this magazine turned out to be Washington!
Shi Lei held up the magazine expressionlessly and asked in a casual voice: "Whose is this?" ”
Are you already planning to provoke me? Shi Lei whispered secretly in his heart.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, the strength of the "Big Three" and the team's good record make the Celtics look very united, but in private, there are still people who are ready to move.
Shi Lei is very trusted by Rivers in the team, and his relationship with Pierce is also quite good, and he is the team's fourth scoring point, the absolute core of the bench lineup, which makes some people unbearable.
For example, Rondo, who controls the team's organizational rights, lost most of his playing time because of the arrival of Shi Lei. Alan. Many people are waiting for Shi Lei to make a mistake, which is the disadvantage of suddenly ascending to the top.
"Oh, sorry, that's mine."
Rondo stepped forward casually and took the magazine from Shi Lei's mobile phone.
"What magazine? Playboy? Brian asked curiously.
"Oh no, it's just an interview with one of my favorite movie stars."
Of course, Rondo, despite this explanation, did not show the magazine to Brian, who was begging for the magazine.
"It turns out that Rajan likes to watch movies, and I thought what you liked to watch was their slander against me."
Shi Lei's words with a smile were very intriguing. As soon as Pu came here, Shi Lei gained an extraordinary status, and he knew that his future road would not be very uneven.
There are bound to be bumps in the road, and Shi Lei knows that they have come!
Shi Lei dared to guarantee that Rondo took the magazine to the locker room because he wanted to see the magazine's report on him.
No one likes an article full of negative stories about themselves, especially when they just buried a win that broke the best home winning streak in history.
Rondo may think that Shi Lei will be full of guilt, he wants to make Shi Lei angry, wants to make Shi Lei feel bad, wants to lure Shi Lei to make mistakes, and wants to provoke Shi Lei's position in the team.....
"Are you the culprit?"
Shi Lei doesn't think so, if he doesn't make up for it, Billups can get a chance to open the spot. Speaking of which, he just carried Pierce's pot, and if he hadn't left an opportunity for his opponent to kill, nothing would have happened.
But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the provocation comes.
Shi Lei has an introverted personality and lacks aggressiveness. Aaron is somewhat similar, but not as good as Ray. Aaron's pride. This makes Shi Lei have a good popularity in many cases, but loses the awe of others.
Without reverence, there is no prestige, and it will make others look at their own things.
"Why, I didn't know they were reporting on you."
Rondo explained, pretending to be calm. At this time, Rondo was only a second-grader, not the "fourth head" that was later touted by the "Big Three", even if the Celtics had a "fourth head", it would not be someone else, it would only be Shi Lei.
Pierce glanced thoughtfully at the two men, but said nothing. This is not the time for him to intervene, at least not yet.
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders, as if he was making another joke with Rondo, but in his heart, he secretly reminded himself that something had to be done.
The matter of the court is solved with basketball. Shi Lei has already made up his mind to pay attention!
The time for training is coming quickly, and after some preparatory exercises, it is the team's confrontation training. As usual, one main group, one substitute.
Everything was like a regular game, and the main jump ball was won.
Rondo got the basketball, and just after halftime, Shi Lei signaled House to change defenses.
Standing in front of Rondo, Shi Lei stared at his every move seriously. The other main players, lazily running in position, have no intention of throwing off the defenders at all.
