In late November, the weather is getting cooler, and on the streets of Manhattan, New York, pedestrians are wearing autumn coats. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a small café around the corner by the road, and two green vines hung from the door.

In the afternoon of the week, there were not many customers in the store, and on the table by the window sat two tall and handsome young men. On the table in front of their seats, each had a cup of fragrant coffee and two illustrated magazines.

"Lee, I didn't expect you to adapt to the NBA so quickly, it's amazing."

Directly in front of Li Dong, the blue-eyed young man spoke, with a look of envy on his face.

It was the University of Kansas teammate Ryan Adams, who hadn't seen him in months, and tonight in Madison, New York, the Magic will challenge the Knicks.

Li Dong smiled faintly: "Ruiou, you don't have to worry, I think it shouldn't take long for you to adapt to the alliance." ”

Reo showed a hint of helplessness and shook his head with a wry smile, "Coach Derrick doesn't like a player of average physical fitness like me, he wants his players to be able to run, jump, and shoot threes, not just a spot shooter. Players like Jose Calderón and Aaron Afflaro are better suited to the coaching system than I am, not to mention Lance Thomas, Langston Galloway, Sasha Vujacic and others on the bench. ”

Li Dong frowned, looked at Ruiou who poured bitter water, and didn't know how to say anything to comfort.

Derrick Fisher is indeed a coach who needs a lot of pick-and-roll or athletic players, and in his system, Ryo Adams is still quite embarrassing, on the one hand, Galloway, Afflaro and others have compressed his playing time, on the other hand, his own ball handling ability is average, and his defense is even worse.

There was only one fixed-point three-pointer left, which also seemed a little inaccurate in such a fast-paced game in the NBA.

Rui Ou sighed and said enviously about Li Dong: "Li, you have made a lot of noise these days!" Half a month ago, he scored 29 points to beat the Rockets, and then returned to the home court to score 23 points to defeat the Timberwolves. ”

Li Dong was a little embarrassed by Ruiou's words, took a sip of coffee, and responded: "Actually, it's okay, the coach gives me more playing time, and Victor is not the kind of team leader who particularly likes individual offense, so I have a lot of opportunities to attack independently." “

"Well, I don't know when I'm going to be in the squad." Compared with the two, Ruio is even more depressed.

"There will always be a chance, train hard." Li Dong cheered up his good brother.

After hearing Li Dong's encouragement, Ryo finally cheered up a little, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The two of you talked and I talked to each other, and from time to time there were bursts of chuckles, adding a little to the popularity of this quiet café.

After chatting for a while, the two men walked out of the café side by side, flagged down a taxi, and headed straight for the Madison Square Garden arena.

Madison Square Garden is a multi-purpose stadium in Manhattan, New York, and not just the home arena of the Knicks. It hosts major sporting events, concerts and political events all year round. Sports include hockey, ice hockey, basketball, boxing, wrestling, and more, and concerts like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have been held here recently, and tickets have sold out in just a few dozen minutes.

It's a place where the lights are shining every night, and the stars are brilliant, even if the team's record is bad, the market operation will not be bad.

So when Li Dong walked into the visiting locker room at Madison Square Garden Arena, he was a little shocked, this luxurious venue is comparable to a luxury private room.

"It's no wonder that teams like the Knicks and Lakers will always have scandals with big names, and big cities are different." Li Dong touched the wardrobe door of the locker room, and was amazed.

"Hey, Lee, that's fast!" Immediately afterwards, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and the Magic players began to arrive one after another, and as soon as they saw that Li Dong had arrived, they greeted Li Dong with a smile.

Watson, the old ball skin, was next to Li Dong again, with a thick South American English and Li Dong's bragging. "Well, I said this bowl belt is very powerful, you look at your games, how accurate."

Li Dong glanced at the blue rubber bowl belt on his wrist obliquely, and said with a smile: "You won't put any magic on it, you feel good recently." ”

"What magic?" Oladipo leaned over and asked.

Li Dong laughed and said, "Victor, this is CJ's super magic from their Las Vegas, No, look at the wristband on my hand, after wearing it, I will hit every shot!" ”

"Really?" Oladipo immediately cooperated with a look of surprise, and then opened his hand to Watson.

Watson had a suspicious look on his face and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Oladipo pretended to be angry and said, "What are you doing, don't you understand this?" Isn't it a brother, send me one, I didn't see that I've been a little iron in the past two days! ”

Watson raised his middle finger and scolded with a smile: "Get out." ”

"Okay, it's too partial, I'll call everyone to come and comment!" Oladipo saw that Watson still dared to fight back, waved his hand, and called out to everyone, "Come and see that, Victor's magic prop!" ”

"What a situation! What magic items? ”

Oladipo said, "Lee is so accurate with magic props. ”

"Damn, give me one!"

"Your sister, don't step on my feet!"

……

The locker room immediately became a mess, and in the good luxury private room, boys' clothes and basketball game protective gear flew everywhere. At this time, the head coach who opened the door at this time, Squiles, was hit by a stinky sock from a certain person, and he just changed into a straight suit today.

The corners of Skiles' eyes twitched slightly, and the veins on his head protruded.

"Boom!" Everyone in the locker room burst into laughter, and Li Dong leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

"Who did it?" Skiles asked, braving the chill.

Everyone looked at each other, and each secretly skimmed the socks under their feet, like Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, both feet were already in their shoes.

At this time, I don't know which brother is talented, so he suddenly said in a soft voice: "Shaq also did it." ”

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed again, and Skiles' tense face couldn't hold back, and they laughed out louder, and now everyone laughed even louder, and the sound of these ghosts crying wolf could be heard in the corridor.

Just at this time, the Knicks' jerseys were changed, and Anthony took the lead to walk to the court, hearing the laughter in the Magic locker room and confused.

"What the hell are these guys doing?" Aaron Afraro couldn't help but speak.

"Maybe it's a joke!" Calderón was at Afflaro's side, so he guessed.

Then except for the two of them, the other Knicks players just glanced sideways a little, and then withdrew their gaze, their expressions were still serious, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

No way, who made one 12-3 and the other 7-8?

……

From the outside world, this game is really a game without much suspense, one is currently the first in the East, and the other is the bottom of the league, even if it has just started the season, the results and combat power are a little wrong, but the gap between the two should be obvious, especially when everyone is recuperating, the upset is minimal.

Magic, on the other hand, likes to give big gifts.

In the cheers of the audience at Madison Square Garden, and in the enchanting posture of the East Coast fans, the entire Magic team was completely lost, losing by nearly 20 points in only half time.

As a result, Li Dong, who averaged 19.2 points per game in the first five games, only scored 10 points in this game, and only made 2 of 13 shots, which was better than Louis Williams. Fortunately, he hit all 6 free throws, which is one of the few bright spots.

The scene of joy before the game changed, and they got on the bus in a gloomy manner, and then rushed back to Orlando overnight in a frozen atmosphere.

It's just that after losing the game, Skiles won't keep a straight face, but will comfort everyone along the way, saying that we don't have to win the first place in the East, as long as we can keep winning, etc., so that the pressure on the Magic players is not small.

A day later, everyone hosted the visiting Bucks and gave them a head-on blow.

Vucevic scored a game-high 22 points, while Li Dong and Oladipo combined for only 25 points, including 18 points......

At this time, the general manager of the Orlando Magic welcomed a special guest in the office of the Orlando Magic......
