Chapter 265 - Opening Match, Derby Battle
Around 10 p.m., Gail. Gadot finally returned to the ward again, holding the important face that Master Huang had prepared for her with a smirk, and Li Yao was very embarrassed to see it.
And in Gael. During the period before Gadot came back, those teammates of the Clippers also rushed to the hospital as soon as the game ended, and sent their most sincere wishes to Li Yao.
"How?" Li Yao had actually learned the specific situation from Boss Zhao's mouth, but after seeing Gail. Gadot's smirkling look still couldn't help but ask her again, so that this stupid woman could express her inner joy by herself, so as not to be really stupid like this.
"Master Huang said that my situation is a small situation, and it will take about a month to recuperate, but I can't do that kind of thing with you during this time. After a month, it will be the most suitable time. "Gail. Gadot explained excitedly to Li Yao's dancing hands.
"Okay, good, good, as long as you're happy." Li Yao is also following Gail. Gadot's meaning soothed her.
"Wait a minute, a month of recuperation? And can't get down to business during this time? After Li Yao finished speaking, he could be regarded as reacting, Nima, doesn't this mean that he can only be with the five girls for a month, Li Yao suddenly felt a sad taste.
"yes." Gail. Gadot was completely immersed in the excitement that she could get pregnant at this time, and she didn't notice Li Yao's instantaneous change in face at all.
"Okay, if you're happy." What can Li Yao say? People Gail. Gadot is also doing this in order to be able to conceive his own blood as soon as possible, and it seems that he will only be able to be accompanied by five girls in the next month.
Fortunately, the Clippers did not have any preseason games in the remaining days, and they also avoided the trouble of Li Yao taking time off and stayed at home to accompany Margot. Robbie, even the morning exercise with Kobe Bryant was excused by Li Yao to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant also said that he could understand Li Yao's mood at this time, and he did not blame Li Yao.
And the most interesting thing is that the first opponent of the Los Angeles Clippers regular season opener led by Li Yao is the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe, and this local derby is bound to attract enough attention when the game comes, after all, one side is this year's champion, and the other side is also the Clippers team who have attracted attention this summer.
These two Los Angeles teams not only attracted the attention of the whole United States, but also attracted attention even in China, after all, Kobe Bryant's popularity in China is very high, not to mention the Clippers team with Da Yao and Li Yao, the two core of the Chinese men's basketball team, so this game as the NBA opener game was also hyped by the CCYA5 channel.
On the night of October 27, 2009, the Staples Center Arena was filled with seats, and everyone was looking forward to this season's Los Angeles City Derby.
Although this game was played at the home of both sides, the Lakers fans in Los Angeles far surpassed the Clippers, not to mention that the Lakers had just won the championship last season, and the momentum was unmatched for a while.
Li Yao and others stood in the players' tunnel and listened to the cheers of the fans for the Lakers, but at this time his heart did not have the slightest wave, he knew very well that the Clippers at this time were far from being able to compare with the Lakers, but it did not mean that they would not have this qualification in the future, with his Li Yao's leadership, he believed that as long as three years at most, when they and the Lakers faced off against the Lakers in Staples, the cheers of the fans for the Clippers should at least be able to have a five-five with the Lakers fans.
However, the game was far from starting as expected. The old man Stern appeared in the center of the court, where he will be able to claim their championship ring for last season's champion Lakers.
Looking at the Lakers players who received their championship rings one after another on the court, Li Yao had his own thoughts in his heart, although he didn't dare to guarantee an accurate time, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must let him watch David at the Staples Center Arena before Kobe Bryant retired. Stern presented himself with the championship ring that all players could only dream of.
"Brother Yao, are you envious?" Li Yao looked at Da Yao staring at the Lakers who received the ring, of course he understood the big brother's thoughts, so he asked Da Yao with a smile.
"yes, I don't know if I'll be able to get this championship ring before I retire." Da Yao was woken up from his fantasy by Li Yao's question, and after sighing, he said quietly.
In fact, for Da Yao, he is not short of money, as for the honor, they have also won the Olympic championship in international competitions, and Da Yao is now short of an NBA championship ring.
"Brother Yao, believe brother, in three to five years, I will definitely be able to let your brother wear a championship ring belonging to our Clippers on his finger." Li Yao solemnly assured Da Yao that in fact, the reason why he wanted to trade Da Yao was not only to supplement the strength of the team's lineup, but also to be able to get a championship ring for this big brother before Da Yao retired.
"Li Yao, I believe in you." Da Yao didn't expect Li Yao to say such a thing at this time, but when he saw Li Yao's sincere eyes, Da Yao chose to believe this little brother without hesitation, after all, Li Yao is not only his little brother, but also the captain of the current Clippers team.
As the award ceremony ended, the DJs on the scene began to announce the players on both sides.
Of course, when announcing the Lakers players, the voice of the DJ on the scene was simply different from when the Clippers were announced, and even the live audience who had climaxed just now climaxed again.
"Is this the home court of the Lakers?" Just as Li Yao glanced at the stars in the front row, a discordant voice suddenly appeared in Li Yao's ears.
"What did you kid say?" Before Li Yao could react, Erik. Gordon looked at Demar, who had just subconsciously said this. DeRozan scolded.
"DeMarr, this is also our home court, but because of the strength of the Lakers, the fans in Los Angeles forget that there is still our Clippers in this city, and what we need to do now is to beat the Lakers and let the fans in Los Angeles remember that there is another team in this city called the Clippers." Li Yao faced Demar. DeRozan said solemnly, as the captain of the Clippers, although he is still very young, he still has to take on the blame that a captain should make.
"Got it, Captain." Demar. DeRozan also reacted at this time that his remarks just now seemed a little inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized to Li Yao, although Li Yao was not a few days older than him, but the aura of the superior on Li Yao's body at this time still made DeMar. DeRozan couldn't help but bow his head.
"Today, the Lakers received a championship ring on our home court, and we have already lost face, so we can't let them step on us to win today, so we have to win today." Li Yao turned his head and said solemnly to all the teammates around him.
"On the other hand, I'm going to give my newborn son with this first win in the regular season opener, and I want him to know from birth that Kobe Bryant is not the only king in the city of Los Angeles, but his father is also the same." Li Yao paused for a moment and continued.
"Okay, captain, for the sake of your kids, we've got to win this game." Da Yao was also the first to stand up at this time and respond to Li Yao's call.
As Da Yao stood up, the members of the Clippers also reacted and said along with Da Yao.
"Okay, let's take the Lakers, the defending champion." Li Yao said and looked at Kobe Bryant, who was doing warm-up activities not far away, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he wanted to use the victory in this game to tell Kobe that from today on, the king of Los Angeles will no longer be the only one, Kobe.
Kobe Bryant also seemed to feel Li Yao's gaze, and turned his head to meet Li Yao's gaze, both sides saw the strong battle intent from each other's eyes, and the place where the eyes of the two sides met seemed to have a trace of electric light.
The two sides finally went to the center circle at the signal of the referee and waited for the official start of the game.
As the referee's opening whistle sounded, Da Yao and Andrew, who were standing in the middle of the middle circle. Bynum jumped at the same time, although Da Yao's height had an advantage, but he couldn't stand Andrew. Bynum was more physically tough, and bounced the basketball to the Lakers' side before Da Yao's palm was about to touch the basketball.
Derek. Fisher dribbled the ball and handed the basketball directly to Kobe Bryant in two steps, if it was according to the usual situation, he would not be in such a hurry to hand over the basketball to Kobe, but today's situation is different, first of all, today is a good day to award championship rings to their Lakers, Kobe Bryant, as the well-deserved core of the Lakers, of course, has to give the most wonderful performance to the fans who came to the Staples Center Arena at the opening.
The second is that this is also Kobe Bryant's initiative before the start of the game, because he wants to give Li Yao, the guy who dares to peep into his kingship, a profound education, so that Li Yao knows that he is the only king in Los Angeles at present.
And Kobe Bryant set his sights on Li Yao as soon as he got the basketball, since he wanted to give Li Yao an education, of course, he had to let Li Yao experience it.
After Li Yao saw Kobe's movements, he understood what he meant, shook his neck slightly, and after a familiar smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, he planned to meet and defend Kobe.
