Time passed quietly in the boring training, leaving not even the slightest trace, no, everyone's muscles were visibly thick and hard.

With two days left before the start of the preseason, Li Yang chose his jersey number for the new season or his jersey number for the Asian Games, probably because he already has a deep affection for this number.

Li Yang's new season jersey number is No. 13, and Rivers once asked him if he wanted to wear No. 23 or No. 24, and this proposal was immediately rejected by Li Yang.

To put it bluntly, the number is blown out, if wearing a No. 23 can really become Michael Jordan, then everyone should simply wear No. 23.

James wore the number 23, and he didn't see his skills approaching the basketball god.

James's shooting is much worse than Jordan's, not that James' shooting is not excellent, it's just that compared to the great god Jordan, he is still much worse.

James doesn't have the shooting strength to seal his throat at critical moments, but Jordan has this ability, so Jordan is a bug.

However, James still relied on his own strength and Wang Babu to cover the crowd!!

However, Li Yang also heard that Paul George still wore the No. 13 jersey for the Thunder this season, which may be pure coincidence or providence.

In the 19-20 season, Paul George joined the Clippers with Leonard in the offseason.

However, Li Yang is not coerced, and there is no need to quietly develop obscenely now, even if he comes, it can only be the life of the younger brother.

As for Paul George, who is also wearing the number 13 jersey, the two jerseys have collided, which is just the right comparison.

There is a saying: bumping numbers is not terrible, who is worse is embarrassed!!

And Li Yang himself has selfish intentions, since he was selected in the 13th pick, he obeyed the mandate of heaven and used No. 13 as his jersey number.

Just imagine, one day in the future, after you become a superstar, then this number will definitely be canonized.

Think about it, in the future, everyone will not wear the No. 23 and No. 24 jerseys, and will wear the No. 13 jersey instead, how energetic it should be, and how face-saving Li Yang's own face is!!

……

September 29th. The 2018-2019 NBA preseason officially started.

In the first few game days, there were no Clippers games, so you can imagine how awkward the Clippers were last season!

On October 4, the Los Angeles Clippers finally welcomed their first NBA opponent of the preseason on their doorstep, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Because of the former wolf king Kevin Garnett, Li Yang is relatively familiar with the history of this team.

Since the Wolves Garnett left Boston to form the Big Three with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, the hard-nosed Timberwolves have suddenly turned into a stupid husky.

The Timberwolves topped the Western Conference with a 58-24 record in the 2003-2004 season, but since then they have fallen off a cliff and missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years.

Until last season, the Timberwolves actually relied entirely on Butler's last-minute injury to barely knock out the Nuggets and squeeze into the playoffs.

Now even though the team has a number of young talents such as Rose, Wiggins, Towns, and Teague, and Thibodeau will still be the coach of the Timberwolves in the new season, but because Butler is clamoring to leave.

If there is no "Iron Man" Butler in the team, the injury probability of other players will also be greatly increased, and once the double champion is injured, then the Timberwolves can really choose to be rotten!

At present, Wiggins and Towns are both healthy basketball plays, young and talented, but they are loose in defense on the court, and even in the eyes of Chinese fans, they are in love with wolfberries and thermos cups.

But Butler was a little disappointed, and since this summer, the media has been breaking the news that Butler wants to be traded.

A few days ago, the farce between Butler and the Timberwolves has become public, since the Timberwolves offered Towns a contract with a maximum salary, Butler not only rejected the Timberwolves' offer, but also made it clear that he would not renew his contract with the team.

The core group of Butler, Wiggins and Towns is known as the Timberwolves' Big Three.

However, the two top players who have received big contracts are full of confidence, and they have vowed to do a big job in the new season since the day of the team's press conference.

There was an interesting scene in the dressing room before the game.

Li Yang shouted loudly at the bathroom: "Saipan, hurry up and come out for me!" Suddenly there was the sound of flushing the toilet in the bathroom, and a black man with strong hair slowly poked his head out.

"Boss, why are you yelling so loudly? Urgently, haven't you started yet? ”

Li Yang, who was neatly dressed, said shyly: "Are you constipated?" Still constipated!! ”

"Hmm~." Alexander's face was black, his forehead was not black, and he couldn't see it, and he washed his hands depressedly.

"It's really strange that the self-proclaimed Clippers' future No. 2 leader would be so nervous that he was constipated before the game!" Li Yang mocked mercilessly.

Alexander grabbed a handful of slightly wilted hair, "Boss, it's the first time I've played as a substitute, and I will inevitably be uncomfortable and nervous, unlike you who are familiar with the road, but you played the starter and ruthlessly abandoned me, and the old driver didn't know how to take me." ”

Li Yang, who was about to taunt Alexander, subconsciously prepared to fight back, but when he saw Alexander's resentful little eyes from the mirror, he was speechless and choked for a while.

Alexander's resentful words made Li Yang get goosebumps, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him, he used to think that this guy had a very honest smile, but now he looks indescribably cunning.

Sure enough, the person who knows you best scares you the most!!

During the pre-game interview, a media reporter who is good at creating news gimmicks interviewed the two top players of the Timberwolves.

"Hey Andrew, who do you think the Clippers will send to play against you today?"

"Who, with my strength, is there anyone else who can make me sweat?" Wiggins asked curiously.

"Cut, who else! Could it be Ivica Zubac? I'm sorry, but I beat him with one hand in the first two years! ”

Downs suddenly grabbed the topic, sneered disdainfully, and calmly pretended to be silent.

When the reporter saw the two brothers obediently entering the pit, he immediately asked: "Oh, no, it's Li Yang, a talented defender from Huaxia, this year's No. 13 rookie, Andrew, are you ready to be challenged by him?" ”

Wiggins was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Downs, and saw that the other party also spread his hands and looked unaware.

He quickly and indifferently said, "Li Yang? Isn't it amazing? How I haven't heard of it! A defender from Huaxia? Eh, it's a pity, I only know that Huaxia's wolfberry tea is good. ”

Last season, Wiggins played in 82 regular season games for the Timberwolves, averaging 17.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 36.4 minutes per game.

Many media are questioning him, and it seems that he has not exchanged talent, but has continued to regress.

Some people ask, can Wiggins reach 30,000 points? I don't know about 30,000 points, but it's very likely that he's still playing at 50 years old.

Because for Wiggins, he can go to the basket and never dunk it, and he has a lot of wolfberries soaked in his thermos cup, which is an absolute health mamba.

The bad reporter immediately turned the gun and pointed the camera directly at Downs.

"Li Yang? The rookie who has never played in a professional league? I don't mean to be disrespectful to the Clippers, but I'll say they made a terrible decision. ”

"You ask me, what challenge does he give us? To be honest, I don't think a Chinese player can give us any challenge. ”

"We have talented Andrew and Derek, and they will teach that rookie how cruel the NBA is, not everyone deserves to have a basketball dream, and the NBA is not something that can be mixed up!"

Downs, who was born as a top pick in the draft, seems to be very unaccustomed to this kind of player who relies on media hype.

When the reporter who provoked the trouble relayed the words of the two Timberwolves to Li Yang, and asked Li Yang what he thought.

There was no wave in his heart, let alone angry thunder, but he laughed and ridiculed humorously.

Hehe.

What else can you see? Sitting, squatting, and tumbling......

Li Yang sneered and replied coldly: "Funny, mud, gopee!" ”

"What does that mean? Yang, can you explain? The reporter showed a puzzled and confused expression, bent on solving, and wanted Li Yang to explain.

"Are there any questions? Warm up without me!! After speaking, Li Yang directly ignored the reporter who was about to ask a question, brought his own BGM "One Cut Plum", and turned around directly and walked away arrogantly, the pace is old and domineering!!

"I'm going to make them pay for their contempt and beat them from Timberwolves to Teddy!"

The gimmick didn't cause much of a stir.

The Timberwolves are a team based in a small city that has received little attention since Kevin Garnett left.

Even when the two of them and Butler formed the Big Three, they didn't get enough exposure.

It's only a preseason game now, and there isn't much attention in itself, and Li Yang is just a rookie with an average reputation, so not many people pay attention to it.

The media spotlight is always on the superstars such as James, Curry, and Alphabet.

Or gather on hot rookies like Ayton, Doncic, Trae Young, etc.

Therefore, the bold words of the two health champions made a little splash, and then disappeared into the vast sea.
