Chapter 108, Punishment

Li Linlin, who slept naked all night, got up early and put on the dried clothes first.

It's not very comfortable to be cold down there......

Brush your teeth, wash your face, eat breakfast.

Li Forest was still running to the training gym.

Having enjoyed the benefits of his training, it was only natural for him to work harder now.

"Reller, long time no see."

Li Linlin said hello to the old man who helped him open the door, this old man was really dedicated and got up earlier than all the players.

"Lee, well done on the Eastern Road trip, I seem to see Ray Allen in you, haha, but I'm sure you'll be a greater shooter than him."

Old Man Ryler smiled and praised Li Linlin.

Ryler felt a different star temperament from Li Linlin.

Since the youngster signed with the team, the team has won one after another, and it seems that there is hope of making a playoff run again.

"Lee, you're ahead of both of them today."

After speaking, Ryler waved his hand to Li Linlin.

....................

"Lee, you're going to be banned from the team for one game next!"

Brooks said to Li Forest a little unbearably.

"Ah, why?"

Li Linlin knew that he had been in a bit of trouble lately, which annoyed the team's public relations manager Jamie and the management, but he wasn't quite sure what had caused him to be suspended.

"The main thing is that you took the initiative to push Russell in the locker room, according to the team's management rules, the first move must be punished, so sorry, Plesty has tried my best to fight for it, but it will be claimed that you are out due to injury."

Brooks tried his best to explain, he was serious and professional, he was afraid that Li Forest would have a bad attitude against the team.

If everyone hadn't watched at the time, Brooks and the management would definitely have chosen to shield Lee Forest.

After all, the team's momentum is so good now, with four wins in five games, three of which were won by away teams, which is an incredible thing for the Thunder.

Everything changes in the team started with the signing of the Chinese rookie, Brooks was well aware of it, and Plesti was well aware of it, but Li Forest has been in the limelight lately. They need to be protected.

…………

At this time, Brooks also recalled the scene in the morning, when he went to the general manager's office.

"Brooks, what do you see I receive?"

Thunder general manager Presti said to Brooks with a smile, then picked up a fax and gave it to Brooks, motioning for him to look.

Brooks was puzzled and looked at the fax with confusion.

"No, how is that possible?"

Brooks was surprised by the above content.

"Haha, I didn't think it would get so interesting, Brooks, what do you think of this?"

Sam Presti said calmly to Scott Brooks

"Sam, I will never allow you to trade Lee, I repeat, he is not for sale."

Brooks was a little furious.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I wanted to trade Li, we communicated before, he is not for sale."

"Well, what is this?"

"Prior to this fax, I also received an offer from the Los Angeles Lakers for Forest Lee."

"Haha, that's funny."

Brooks laughed too.

What he just read was the offer document sent by Celtic's general manager Anji, which was a trade offer for Li Linlin.

"I didn't expect our Chinese kid to be so popular, and the two teams in last year's finals were interested in him."

"Sam, so we can't trade Lee, isn't our goal to get back to the playoffs? He's an important piece of the puzzle for the future. ”

"Well, of course, not only can they see the value of Li, but I can also see that Li is not Lei Allen, and I won't take it easy this time."

Speaking of Ray Allen, Prestie was a little sad because he lost last year's confrontation with Angie.

At the time, he had just taken over, and just 22 days after taking charge of the team, Plesty opened the way for the SuperSonics to rebuild with a blockbuster trade.

The team sent away Ray Allen and formed a lineup with Jeff Green at the core.

Celtics: Got Ray Allen and the 2007 No. 35 pick (Glen Davis was selected);

SuperSonics: Szzczebiak, Delonte West and the No. 5 pick in 2007 (selected Jeff Green).

Green's play deserves Presti's trust, averaging a decent 14.2 points per game.

However, an unexpected heart surgery turned a turning point for the talented player, and the deal was a loss for the SuperSonics, but it also showed everyone Plestie's courage and determination to rebuild the team.

Last year, Prestie also helped fulfill the dream of the Boston Big Three.

But now Plesty is naturally unwilling to give another potential star to the Celtics.

As for the Lakers?

It's even more impossible.

The Thunder now have three new stars, Durant, Westbrook, and Forest Lee, and they have a chance to make the playoffs next year, and their hypothetical playoff rivals are the Los Angeles Lakers.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to make a trade with the Lakers and add a wedding dress to the opponent.

The Lakers have certainly been at the top of the Western Conference for the last two to three years.

And even if the Thunder enter the playoffs, it is impossible to rush to the top of the rankings, naturally, the Lakers must be a hurdle to cross in the future, and they must start to watch out now.

"This kid has been in a lot of trouble lately, and I've heard Jamie say that their PR department is annoyed by the media, haha."

Upon hearing Presti's teasing, Brooks wiped his sweat as well.

"It's true that this kid is a prick, and he looks very obedient, but he gets into a lot of trouble almost every game. I think Russell is so much cuter now. ”

Brooks used to complain about Westbrook's various problems in front of his friends.

But now that the team has a Forest Lee, he prefers Westbrook.

No matter how disobedient Westbrook is alone, he will not go around causing trouble and provoking fans to provoke the media.

Look at who Li Forest provokes, Paul, Wade, James, all the fans and media in New York, even his teammate Russell dares to move when he is awesome...

Plesty had hoped to pursue James next summer.

Now it seems that before he even knelt down and licked a wave, Li Forest gave him a big slap in the face.

"Well, then let's protect him first, and for the thing he pushed Russell before, he will be punished with a one-game ban first."

"Hmmm! OK. ”

The two old foxes reached an agreement very tacitly, and Comrade Li Linlin was so happily banned from the team.

"Brooks, don't win too many games in the next game, our plan is for next year."

Plesty whispered to Brooks, this is the strategy he has just decided with the owner, he has been hesitant before, worried about the emotions of the fans, and it is not good to be messy when he first comes to the city, but after a while, it seems that the fans do not care much about the team's record. So Plesty made up her mind.

"I see."

Brooks didn't promise Presty, just told him that he heard it, and that it was another thing to insist on it or not.

He's the manager, he's in charge of the results, and he's got to think about the feelings of the players in the team.

This Thunder's head coach is not good.

After hearing Brooks' response, Plesty believes that Brooks understands what he means.

"Hey, China Li has only signed a one-year contract, which is really a headache."

Plesty now regrets his signing with Lee Forest.

Why was he so stupid at the time, it was okay to give two years, and he could have been cheap and practical for another year, but he was given a year.

Who knows that he has suffered a big loss now.

"Haha, who told you not to give a long-term contract at that time."

Brooks suggested a three-year contract at the time, and he would take some time to develop Lee.

But he was stopped by Presti at the time.

Now it's better, the old friend is bleeding profusely.

But no one expected this Li Forest to soar so amazingly.

Now Li Linlin's popularity in Russia is about to catch up with Durant, and he can't get a contract above the middle class.

As for Lee's popularity in China, Plesty is not very clear at this point.

However, looking at the number of Chinese media who have come to the team's interview area recently, I have a rough idea.

The number of media in China has almost surpassed that of the local media in Russia, and this data is also quite shocking to him.

Presti now understands Morey, and it's no wonder that Morey likes Yao Ming so much, and the Rockets have something to do with China every summer.

He is now starting to like Li Forest as well.

The Chinese market of 1.3 billion is really not covered.

The increased attention of the team has made many team staff feel nervous.

It's as if they're working for a big city team right now, and they're not as busy every day as they used to be.
