Chapter 290 - Buckley Troublemaker

When the referee's final whistle blew, the Clippers also successfully won their opening three consecutive wins at the Energy Solutions Arena, which is also the best opening streak of the Clippers in recent years, and the three teams that the Clippers face off are all playoff powerhouses in the West, and the gold content is very high.

Li Yao once again became the best player of the game, but today's Li Yao's score was far less than the previous two games, only 28 points, but Li Yao contributed 15 assists and 2 steals in this game.

"Lee, what do you want to say as the best player of the game?" At this moment, Barkley shook his fat body and walked over to ask Li Yao a question.

"I'm very excited right now, after all, you have to know that the Jazz have always been regulars in the Western Conference playoffs, and we are very happy to win against them, and we have won three in a row in the new season, which is a happy thing." Li Yao smiled at this time and answered the question from Barkley.

"So, Lee, why did your Clippers win all three games in the way their opponents do best?" Barkley saw that the time had come, so he asked the question he had been planning for a long time.

"Yes?" Li Yao was stunned by Barkley's question, and looked at Barkley with a confused expression.

"Of course, in the opening game, you played against the Lakers, you scored against Kobe Bryant, and when you played against the Suns, you led the Clippers and Suns to go crazy against Biao, and today you used the blocking tactics again in Salt Lake City, is this a provocation?" Barkley said with a little excitement.

"Hey, Sir Charles, don't you frame me, why have I become a provocate? First of all, I played against Kobe because Kobe Bryant was the first to find me, and playing fast break in the game against the Suns is also our lineup and tactical need, which we also had in the game with the Lakers, as for today's blocking tactics, I remember we also used them when facing the Suns, why Sir Charles do you think I'm provoking the opponent? Li Yao was taken aback after hearing Barkley's words, he didn't expect Barkley to run to lead the rhythm, what would others think of himself if he heard this?

"Hehe, really? Lee, don't worry, I'm not going to say it. Barkley wouldn't let Li Yao go easily, and asked shyly.

"Of course, besides, it's not just our Clippers who play fast-break and pick-and-roll, you can't say they're provoking the Suns and Jazz." Li Yao hurriedly denied it.

"Believe in you to have a ghost! Still won't say it? Do you need to say it? If I dare to say anything, the cameraman next to me will pass on my words directly. I'm afraid this flying pig is taking me for a fool. Li Yao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, Lee." Barkley found that he couldn't get the words from Li Yao's side, and suddenly said helplessly.

"Damn, it's not a question of cowardice, it's simply making yourself a public enemy of the Alliance." Li Yao was noncommittal to Barkley's words.

"Sir Charles, I hope you don't spread rumors everywhere, otherwise we won't have to be friends with each other." On the way back to the locker room, Li Yao did not forget to warn Barkley's big mouth, lest he go around talking nonsense.

But Li Yao didn't know that while they were still playing, Barkley had already inferred his strange inference to be broadcast through TNT's national live broadcast.

At this time, Barkley's face was a little ugly when he heard Li Yao's warning, and he found that the situation had far exceeded his expectations, and it seemed that Li Yao was really angry.

"Hey, that, Lee, listen to me." Barkley hurriedly ran forward to stop Lee.

"Sir Charles, what else is the matter with you?" Li Yao asked curiously.

"Well, Lee, I already told you what I said during the live broadcast." Barkley said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What? You dead fat man is just a fool of me! Li Yao didn't expect that he had just warned Barkley on his side, but this guy told himself that he had already said it before.

"Lee, what now?" Barkley was already crying at this time, and he didn't expect that he just wanted to make a joke, but from Li Yao's air, he learned that things were far from being as simple as he imagined, and Barkley regretted it now.

"Sir Charles, how do you want me to say hello? Anyway, you can be regarded as my senior, don't you know that your words directly roasted me on the fire? Li Yao was also speechless at this time, he was now completely pitted by this Barkley.

"Lee, let's not talk about that now, let's talk about what to do next." Barkley said with a sad face.

"Hey, what can I do now?" Li Yao also fell into thinking for a while.

"Li Yao, what's wrong? Why don't you know the locker room? At this time, Da Yao, who was originally interviewed by other media reporters, also wanted to return to the locker room after the interview, but found that although the interview with Li Yao was over, Li Yao and Barkley both looked sad, and walked forward to ask curiously.

"Brother Yao, this dead fat man has made me miserable." Li Yao then told Da Yao what had happened before, and Barkley was also making additions on the side.

"Sir Charles, how did you do it, you are not a child again, don't you understand the seriousness of the matter?" Da Yao also said to Barkley with a smile on his face, he really didn't expect Barkley to pit Li Yao because of a joke.

"Da Yao, don't talk about me yet, let's help think about how to solve the impact of this matter, I just wanted to make a joke at the time." Barkley said with a distressed look on his face, he was already eager to slap himself a few times, so that he could take care of his own cheap mouth.

"What to do, cold salad, Li Yao, you just ignore the reporter's questions about this matter, and Sir Charles, if someone finds you, you can just say it casually at that time, we will ignore this matter, and we will not give those reporters a chance to hype. The best solution for this kind of thing is cold treatment. Da Yao is much calmer than Li Yao and Barkley, in his opinion, all the hype is no wind and no waves, they directly limit the "wind", how do those reporters hype.

"That's right! It's good to treat it cold, we actually thought about it here for a long time. Barkley suddenly slapped his head and said excitedly after hearing Da Yao's plan.

"Sir Charles, I'll bother you to take care of your mouth in the future." Li Yao also agreed with Da Yao's plan very much, but he couldn't help but remind Barkley, lest this guy pit himself again.

"Okay, don't worry." Now that there is a solution to the matter, Barkley is back to his usual indifferent appearance.

When everyone returned to the hotel, Li Yao was still a little uneasy, he couldn't help but dial Wade's phone, wanting to ask Wade, the big brother, how they handled it now.

"Lee, how do you think about your future?" Wade did not answer Li Yao's inquiry directly, but only opened his mouth to ask Li Yao after a deep groan.

"What do you mean, Dwyan?" Li Yao asked with a frown, he couldn't understand why Wade suddenly turned his head and asked himself this question.

"Lee, I remember you told me that you went to the Los Angeles Clippers to be the boss, and since you had this idea, the only thing you had to do was lead the Clippers to success, so why should you care what other teams think of you? Knowing that the remaining 29 teams in the league are your enemies, and you have to beat them as much as you can if you want to make the playoffs, do you care about the eyes of your enemies? Wade said very seriously, although Li Yao is no longer the little brother who follows him, but as a friend, Wade still wants to teach Li Yao how to be a qualified team boss.

"Dwyan," Li Yao said again.

"Lee, you should think about how your neighbor did it, how he responded in the face of 10,000 people's accusations, Lee, you have to remember that the NBA is a place where strength speaks, if you have strength, you can be arrogant, and if you don't have strength, no one will pity you even if you are humble." Wade said in a heavy tone, because when he said this, he remembered the big shark that had been by his side to escort him across the entire alliance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Dwyan, I see." Li Yao's tone was also a little low, because he remembered that what happened to Wade before he was reborn was not exactly what he was talking about now.

"Lee, you have to remember that you are now the boss of a team, and the boss of each team has his own style, I don't know if my way of doing things is suitable for you now, I suggest you ask Kobe, after all, he is your opponent in Los Angeles, and it is not necessarily your friend who knows you best, but your opponent." Before Wade hung up the phone, he couldn't help but remind again.
