Early the next morning, Li Yang came to the locker room refreshed.

Li Yang came to the locker room, he found his closet, on which hung his number 13 shirt, Li Yang was preparing for today's training.

As a result, as soon as he opened the wardrobe, his whole mood instantly became bad, and it was stuffed with popcorn!!

Next, Beverly seemed to be in ambush for a long time, and suddenly burst into the locker room.

Beverly is very grateful for Li Yang's behavior of repaying grievances with virtue at the critical moment yesterday, so he is full of good feelings for Li Yang!

Looking at the depressed Li Yang, he patted Li Yang's shoulder with a smile: "Yang, how is it, are you surprised, not surprised!! ”

Li Yang's head was instantly covered with black lines, and he pointed at Beverly tremblingly, and said indignantly: "Peat! I knew that you still declared a personal vendetta, and I should have decisively detained you yesterday! It doesn't matter if you live or die! ”

Beverly put his arms around Li Yang's neck and explained, "Yang, don't be angry, every rookie comes over like this, which is equivalent to a special welcome ceremony!! ”

Li Yang nodded helplessly: "Okay, count you through!" ”

Beverly hesitated for a moment, but still suggested to Li Yang: "Yang, maybe you should get a tattoo, so that you will look more domineering and fierce, like my tattoo, and you won't let others think you are a bully." ”

"Why don't I recommend a store to you, and you !! satisfied" Beverly said with a wink.

After speaking, Beverly pointed to the tattoo of the man on his shoulder "forever", and said with a heavy voice: "I don't know what forever is, I just want to always remember how difficult life is." ”

Li Yang shook his head: "Patrick, many of my fans are children, especially Chinese children, so I don't want to give them a bad example." ”

Li Yang said he couldn't understand the penchant of black players for tattoos, and he didn't get a cold.

However, Beverley's words reminded Li Yang that the reason why he suffered so much talk from foreign media was largely because of his skin color, and he looked more like a good boy, which was incompatible with the NBA ethos.

He looked like a good boy both externally and internally.

After a while, the other players of the Clippers walked in one after another.

The others were more or less gathered together, sometimes chatting loudly, sometimes laughing, and Alexander was the only one who walked at the end.

Beverley skillfully switched smiles, greeted the others, and either high-fived or danced, and after a season of getting along, Beverley already knew the rules of survival in the Clippers' locker room.

Li Yang is very interested in the way black people greet him, but he can only dance awkwardly, although he really wants to show off his coquettish dance steps, but he is just a bronze scumbag, so he can only pretend to be cold, so as not to expose his dancing.

"Hey, rookie, you need to put a smile on your face when you come to the NBA, don't be so serious." Reed happily walked over and slapped Li Yang!

Li Yang also cooperated and stretched out his palm to respond to the other party's greetings.

Reed was drafted by the 76ers with the 45th pick in the second round in '05, but he won the Sixth Man of the Year again last season, the second time he has won such an honor.

His ability to survive in the NBA, which is full of people, is inspirational enough in itself and deserves Li Yang's respect.

Head coach Rivers held a thermos cup soaked with wolfberries in his hand and slowly arrived at the court.

Because there are a lot of new faces this summer, he also made a formal introduction to himself.

Rivers spoke on the pitch and then talked about this month's training plan and preseason schedule.

After he finished speaking, he announced that they were disbanded and let everyone go to warm up first.

The assistant coaches also began to take the notebook and report to Rivers in detail on the next phase of the work schedule.

Everything is in order.

Two hours later, Li Yang also figured out the Knicks' internal structure and player status hierarchy.

Rivers brought two assistant coaches, Casey and Selena, plus trainer Kassel and so on, and there were about a dozen staff members who directly did all kinds of services and records for the Clippers players.

On the player's side, Harris and Reed are the two highest-ranking players on the team, because these two bigwigs also have the highest scoring points and a higher tactical status than the average player.

Under these two are Beverley, Gallinari and other starting veterans.

After that, there are a number of substitutes and rookies, although Li Yang has the highest tactical status, but the locker room status is ranked in the middle and lower reaches.

Because Alexander and Li Yang are both rookies......

But it is the core of the team's future development, so the locker room status is also a little higher than that of the fringe players and water cooler caretakers.

At the bottom of the list are the water cooler and training camp contract players who could be cut at any time, and there are a few of them on the Clippers roster, and if nothing else, they will only have one or two people left here, and the rest will be cut before the season starts.

Therefore, the status of this kind of player is also the lowest, they are careful in what they say and do, and no one dares to offend, after all, they must be the ones who are laid off if they have conflicts with the players on the guaranteed contract.

Soon, Li Yang received the tactical manual arranged by Rivers, and in terms of the tactical status of many tactics, Li Yang's tactical status is very high, and even ranked first many times!

These details can be seen how much Rivers attaches to Li Yang!

Even though he was valued by the head coach, Li Yang couldn't escape the fate of buying donuts and backpacks on the first day, but fortunately it was not a backpack in kindergarten.

This is the unspoken rule that has become a common practice after a rookie enters the locker room, even Li Yang is not exempt from vulgarity.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!!

Back then, strong people like James, Paul, Kobe, etc. also did this kind of thing, and Kobe Bryant was even more tricky rookie later.

Generally speaking, this level is basically no malicious jokes, and Li Yang is still acceptable, but there are some jokes with obvious malice, and Li Yang is resolutely unable to compromise.

"Hey, you two dishes, go to Starbucks and buy two cups of coffee and come back, remember that I only drink hot." Harris, the team's starting small forward, instructed Li Yang and Alexander, who had just laid down a bunch of backpacks.

"Brother, how far is Starbucks from here?" Li Yang did not refuse directly, but asked Alexander beside him.

"The nearest one is about 40 minutes by car, and if we go now, we will probably be back in two hours!" Alexander reminded Li Yang with a depressed face.

Two hours, so long, if you come back, the training will be over, and the daylily will be cold, isn't this disgusting!

Harris looked at the rookie Alexander and Li Yang with a playful look, to be precise, staring at Li Yang, and Alexander only suffered incidentally.

Other players may give Li Yang some face, because Li Yang has already proven his ability in yesterday's intra-team training match, and it is not surprising that the first person in the future team is Li Yang, but Harris doesn't care!

He was already very dissatisfied with Li Yang's tactical position than him, and Harris was even more unhappy when he looked at Li Yang with a little white face, everyone plays basketball, and they are basically five big and three rough men, why can you look so handsome, but salt and sweet!!

Harris, who failed to rise to the top, felt that he was really unlucky, and he had to teach the No. 13 pick a memorable lesson when he first arrived at the team.

Everyone else in the locker room looked at each other, in a dilemma, and did not stand up to speak for Li Yang before the situation became clear.

Alexander hesitated, then stood firmly, wanting to resist, but he was frightened back by Harris's fierce expression.

"I can order a takeout for you." Li Yang took a step back and said in line with the principle of taking a step back and opening up the sky.

"Rookie, the takeout is too slow, it may be cold when it comes, I hope you will personally go and buy hot ones for me." Harris said with a smile.

This is a bit obvious to find fault, the meaning of deceiving people is too much, Li Yang went to buy it and then returned, isn't it just as cool.

What if I say "no"? Li Yang refused forcefully, he was bullied to the door of Lao Tzu's house, he couldn't bear it, he didn't need to endure it anymore.

Li Yang said very seriously, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Harris specifically. The atmosphere in the locker room instantly froze to freezing, as if it were calm before a storm.
