Chapter 195 195, Fly to Memphis
Cheng Lei's recovery in this game made a large number of reporters start to change their tunes again, and everyone felt that he played much more stable than other players in the second round at the same time.
What's more, Cheng Lei actually compared with the top three, and Cheng Lei had just played against Foltz of the Manor 76ers before, and he was not weak at all.
I don't know when it started, but some people actually called Cheng Lei the best rookie in October, although there are still a few days in October until November.
After playing the Hornets, the whole team did not relax for a moment, and tomorrow back-to-back, away against the Grizzlies, two games a week against the Grizzlies, the last game, the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies at home.
This made the whole team full of energy, and they must avenge this arrow.
After saying goodbye to Jordan, Cheng Lei and Paul hurried back to the team, and the press conference also came to an end, after Harden and coach D'Antoni returned to the locker room, all the staff began to board the bus and go directly to the airport to prepare for tomorrow's game.
The Rockets only lost one game in the starting position, and the Western ranking is second only to the Spurs, who won all, and has the same record as the Warriors, because they defeated the Warriors in the first game, so they are ranked second in the West and third is the Warriors.
On the plane, all the team members fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, the plane had landed in Memphis, and everyone checked into the pre-booked hotel.
As soon as Harden got off the plane, he was so excited that when he arrived at the hotel, as soon as he put down his belongings, he pulled Cheng Lei and said that he would take him to a bar in Memphis to play.
Cheng Lei didn't have a good impression of the bar, and several times he said that he wanted to go out of the bar, he would make a little bit of a difference, which made him a little resistant to the bar.
So, he politely declined Harden's kindness, and in the end, with a look that you won't regret, Harden took a taxi to the most famous bar in the local area.
After Cheng Lei returned to the room, he video chatted with Zhuo Jiayue for a while, and after it was over, he seemed very bored and didn't know what to do.
Lying on the bed, thinking about what Wu Chunlei's uncle said to himself, after this season is over, after going back, talk to him for a good chat, Cheng Lei is full of curiosity about what he said.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw Paul standing in the door in athleisure, wearing a mask and a hat.
"I'm rubbing, what's going on with you?" Cheng Lei asked.
In the hotel, this floor is covered, and you don't have to worry about outsiders, so you don't have to be so fully armed.
"Shhhh Paul whispered.
"Didn't you look for Harden? Didn't he just go out for a long time? ”
"He's only interested in bars, I wasn't interested in going to bars before the game, there's a wild court around here, do you want to check it out?" Paul asked.
I rubbed it, and finally knew why Paul was fully armed, this guy was going to play on the field ball, for fear of being recognized by others.
Anyway, Cheng Lei was also idle and bored, so he agreed to Paul and went out with him.
However, Cheng Lei is not dressed in disguise, anyway, he is not very famous now, and almost no one knows him in Memphis.
"Bring this!" Paul took out a mask from his pocket and gave it to Cheng Lei.
"I don't need to use this!"
"If the coach knows that we are going to play wild ball, we will be scolded to death!" Paul said solemnly.
Since Paul said so, Cheng Lei could only obediently bring the mask, anyway, it would not be in the way to bring a mask.
The two walked, Paul skillfully led the way, it seems that he has been to this field many times, "Are you familiar with this wild field?" ”
"Well," Paul nodded, "I was here to play once, and when I was wandering around, I stumbled upon some of the interesting people in there!" ”
"Is it good to play?" Cheng Lei asked rhetorically, what must be a special attraction for the wild court that can interest Paul.
"I like to sit and watch them play, and sometimes, their playing routines, movements, can inspire me!" Paul explained.
After the court, everyone is familiar with each other's routines, and at this time, using some special routines or movements will have unexpected effects.
That's why Paul likes to go to the field, and he doesn't go to the field to play, but to watch other people play.
The street culture of country M is very strong, so many street ball masters like to play in the wild, and their movements are imaginative, and some of them are also worth learning from.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two came to the field field, and indeed as Paul said, there were still more people, and there were people playing on the four courts.
The two of them observed a little and walked to the far right of the field, where the eight people in this half played the most intensely, and it also attracted many people to watch from the sidelines.
Cheng Lei and the others watched with relish like other people watching the excitement.
One of the short point guards attracted Cheng Lei's Zhou Yi, who was shorter than Paul, and it was estimated that he was only 1.75 meters tall, but he was extremely skilled in dribbling, and he couldn't show off.
After this guy first did a series of crotch throws, he suddenly came to pull the ball behind his back, and the range of action was so large that Cheng Lei had to admire, and sure enough, there were many talents on the field.
Cheng Lei thought that this person would break through directly, but this guy didn't, but played directly, directly turned on the spot, waved his left hand, made a passing motion, and then stuffed the ball into his clothes.
The defender was deceived by this action, and when he turned back to find the ball, the short man took the ball out and smashed it directly on the defender's ass.
When he realized that he had been deceived, the short man accelerated, passed him, and threw the ball at the basket at random. A person rushed over at the bottom line, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, covered his eyes with the other, and dunked the ball in with a thunderous momentum.
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and the short man high-fived the two excitedly last time, and directly played with the treasure to make an impromptu space step.
"Isn't that interesting!" Paul smiled and whispered.
"These postures are estimated to be difficult to see in an official game!" Cheng Lei said.
Street ball culture, there are a lot of performances in it, and the other party is not serious about it, and when they see the air relay, they are also happy to give space for performance.
"That dribble just now, his previous moves, we can use it!"
Indeed, the set of dribbling actions in front of the short man just now, especially the two large disguised dribbles behind him, if you add a small jump, you can definitely pass people, Cheng Lei nodded and agreed with Paul's statement.
It's just that the continuous disguise behind is not as good as the continuous disguise on the chest, and there are too many uncertain factors.
"Actually, a lot of people on the field of the field, the bounce is very amazing, just that bounce is very good, if you want to participate in the dunk contest, you have to go to the field to see, their dunk is full of creativity!"
