Chapter Eighty-One—Joining Forces
"Okay, Wei Shao, you don't lie at all." Li Yao interrupted Russell with a wave of his hand. Westbrook's shoddy lie.
Margot Robbie and Nina watching Russell from the sidelines. Westbrook's embarrassed look couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Lee, if nothing else, what do you think of my proposal?" Russell. Westbrook quickly changed the subject, a little embarrassed.
"Wei Shao, let me ask you, if we are a team, how to deal with the ball?" Li Yao took a sip of the coffee on the table and smacked his lips, this is really not a big gap with the authentic Longjing tea that Boss Zhao drank a while ago. It was only after that that that Li Yao discovered that he seemed to love the taste of tea more than coffee.
"Well, I've thought about this question for a long time, I think you can play point guard point ball, I can play point guard, my impact can drive the opponent's defense. And, from the analysis of your game, I don't think my scoring ability will be affected in the slightest by this arrangement. Isn't this a win-win situation? "Russell. The more Westbrook spoke, the more agitated he became.
"Wei Shao, you really don't mind the ball? You know, the members of the NBA uniform team will come to see our performances, and those who have more possession will naturally have more opportunities to perform. Li Yao has heard some stories in the training camp, and it is very common to fight alone, Li Yao does not believe Russell. Westbrook would not have had the slightest idea.
"Hey, Lee, with you as a point guard, I don't think I will have any fewer opportunities to perform than if I were a point guard." Russell. Westbrook said with a grin, he didn't just come to Li Yao directly to discuss the formation of a team, but he had a deep discussion with his girlfriend Nina, both himself and Nina had to admit that if the team's organizational guard was Li Yao, his teammates' scoring would be easier and easier.
"Wei Shao, can we drug store Bilian?" Li Yao faces Russell. Westbrook's outrageous statement is really helpless.
"Lee, why are you suddenly speaking in Chinese? You can't be saying anything bad about me, are you? "Russell. Westbrook asked, slightly wary.
"No, how could I speak ill of you?" Li Yao immediately denied it.
"Okay, Lee, what do you think of my proposal?" Russell has no ability to distinguish between Chinese at all. Westbrook decided not to dwell too much on the issue.
"Wei Shao, if you say that, I have no problem, but even with me and your teammates, we can't put together a team." Li Yao said unhurriedly, in his opinion, Russell. Westbrook just remembered to pull himself into the gang when his head was hot, (Li Yao: That's called teaming, isn't the word "joining" a bit inappropriate?) Do you have a bit of culture? Write a book at this level? Author: I think Margot Robbie would be better off going back to Australia. Li Yao: The author was very wrong. I don't think much about other things at all, this so-called teaming is probably just empty talk, where would Li Yao care?
"Hehe, Lee, this is the second thing I came to you for, we really don't have enough manpower, but with you, everything will be easy to handle." Russell. Westbrook smiled shyly, he is not a fool, he is shrewd and cunning, coupled with the help of Nina, a virtuous helper, he has already calculated everything, relying on his friendship to give priority to Li Yao, so the remaining three players from Stanford who participated in the NBA draft are not still lingering?
"It's easy to get it done with me? Wei Shao, it seems that I still underestimate your thoughts, I am not satisfied with the calculation of one person, and I still want to drag my other three teammates in? Li Yao thought for a moment Russell. Westbrook's words understood the meaning, and Li Yao said that he really underestimated Russell. Westbrook's shamelessness too.
"Hehe, isn't this the best use of everything?" Russell. Westbrook didn't mind Li Yao's disdainful eyes, and he was actually very proud of what he did.
"Okay, I'll contact Brooke theirs." Li Yao for Russell. Westbrook's proposal was considered good, so he promised to come down and help Russell. Westbrook found the other three Stanford triad, and although Li Yao did not give them notice in advance, Li Yao believed that if he proposed it, the other three would not refuse his kindness.
"Then it's all settled, we'll see you at the training ground in the afternoon." Russell. After Westbrook heard that Li Yao had agreed to his plan, he immediately danced excitedly.
"Hey, Wei Shao, don't make decisions like this, don't talk about whether Brooke will agree or not, I don't even know if they are there now, you just let me see you in the afternoon training camp, are you too anxious?" Li Yao slapped his forehead, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Russell at all. Westbrook's idea.
"Hehe, isn't that a little anxious." Russell. Westbrook also felt very reasonable after hearing Li Yao's words, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Let's eat first." Nina took the initiative to stand up to Russell at this time. Westbrook clears.
The lunch finally ended with the laughter of the four of them.
"Lee, why don't you call Brooke and ask them if they're here?" Just walked out of the restaurant, Russell. Westbrook couldn't help but speak again.
"Okay, I'll call them." Li Yao looked at Russell. Westbrook's flattering expression couldn't bear to tease him, so he took out his mobile phone and called the other three of Stanford separately.
After the three phone calls, Li Yao also learned from them that they had also come to New York in the past two days, waiting for the upcoming training camp.
And the three of them learned about Russell from Li Yao's mouth. Westbrook's plan, several people invariably asked Li Yao's opinion, after learning that Li Yao had chosen to join Russell. After Westbrook's team, all three chose to join Russell with Lee. Westbrook's team.
Look at Russell. Westbrook's expectant eyes, Li Yao nodded helplessly.
When he saw Li Yao nodding, Russell. Westbrook couldn't help but secretly wave his fist, so that when he came down to the training camp, his team would be strong enough.
It's not just Russell. Westbrook is full of confidence, and Li Yao is full of confidence in this team, take a look at the draft pick in this team, Russell, the No. 4 pick in 08 in the previous life. Westbrook, the No. 5 pick, Kevin. Lefou, No. 10 pick Brooke. Lopez, the No. 15 pick, Robin. Lopez, coupled with his little butterfly waving his wings, is now in the top five in his mock draft, and it is scary enough to say it with the order of the lineup.
"Wei Shao, you are satisfied this time." Li Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at Russell, who was stealing fun on the side. Westbrook.
"Satisfied, satisfied." Russell. Westbrook's face was on the verge of smiling at this point.
In the afternoon, Russell. When Westbrook came to the basketball hall specially prepared by the NBA league for their players to participate in the draft, he found that there were already many players practicing in the basketball hall at this time.
They also found their teammates in the crowd, and for the first time, the team of seven came together.
"Hey, Lee, you want to kill me if you haven't seen me for a few days." Jackson was the first to step forward and give Li Yao a deep hug. Let a few people on the side look at them with strange eyes, Li Yao knew that he was being taken into the ditch by Jackson again when he saw everyone's eyes, and kicked Jackson who was hugging him without hesitation.
And the two Lopez brothers were not as sensational as Jackson, but they came up separately and stood aside after a chest bump with Li Yao.
"Now that everyone is here, should we start trying to cooperate with the training?" Li Yao looked at the other busy figures, and the seven of them stood here stupidly, always feeling a little unreasonable, and couldn't help but propose.
"Okay, I'm already impatient." Russell. Westbrook kept rubbing his wrist with an eager expression.
"Huh? Do we hone between teams first, or do we just go to the team to hone in actual combat? Kevin. Lefu asked with some confusion.
"Directly looking for a team to play, after all, in fact, there is no problem between us in terms of cooperation, first of all, our theme lineup is still the main force of our two universities, Russell and I are very familiar with our own team as point guards, and now our team is controlled by me to play point guard and control the rhythm, to put it mildly, there is no need to practice at all, it depends on whether you can play." Li Yao said domineeringly at this time, from the moment he stepped into the training camp, Li Yao decided that he must give everyone a big surprise during this time, and at this time he unconsciously brought into the role of the captain of this team.
For this practice of Li Yao, Russell. Westbrook didn't mind, first of all, when he took the initiative to give up to Li Yao's point guard, he had already handed over the decision of this team to Li Yao, and Wei Shao, who was arrogant by nature, didn't care about being the captain at all.
"And who are we going to?" Russell. Westbrook glanced at the crowd and said in a tangled way, after all, this rookie is composed of more than 80 players from all over the world, and the training camp will officially start tomorrow, so there are not a few teams formed today, and most people are still thinking about which team to join.
"No one has to look for it." Li Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a wicked smile.
"How?" Russell. Westbrook looked at Li Yao's expression, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking that he didn't know who was going to be unlucky again.
"You'll know tomorrow." Li Yao said mysteriously.
