The final whistle sounded, and Li Dong stood up from the bench with some frustration. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Spotlights rolled across the court, flowers and streamers fluttered, and the Timberwolves in their home jerseys were cheered on by the fans and the winners.

Although he was used to losing, this feeling still made Li Dong panic, and it wasn't until he silently walked into the dark players' tunnel that his heart felt a little better.

"Look at the point, this is the NBA." Watson chased after Li Dong, hooked Li Dong's neck, looked at Li Dong with eyes that saw through people's hearts, and comforted him softly.

Li Dong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But it's still very unhappy, obviously it has survived to the end." ”

"What is it, you know, sometimes we even play one, two, even three overtimes before we lose the game, and that's the most painful," Watson said. ”

Li Dong had a worried expression on his face, and he thought it was true, if he really played a few overtimes and lost, he didn't dare to imagine such a scene.

Watson teased: "But it's okay, you are like you as a rookie in this game, you can actually score 45 points, it's just against the sky, don't say that we were killed by Andrew Wiggins in this game, tomorrow's news report will definitely be your such a highlight performance!" ”

"Really?" Li Dong was incredulous and asked, "Andrew Wiggins also scored nearly 40 points, and he also made a mid-range shot at the last critical moment." ”

"Phew," Watson patted Li Dong on the head, and scolded with a smile: "You really compare yourself with others, it's a common thing for people to cut high scores, news, of course, you have to find bright spots to report, and when you average more than 30 points per game one day, you will naturally not be widely reported if you score more than 40 points per game." ”

Li Dong suddenly realized that his feelings turned out to be more bright spots to be found.

The two chatted casually, then pushed the door and walked into the visiting locker room in the target center arena.

"Wait a while and have a couple of drinks at a nightclub, and then there's another day off!" A well-dressed Aaron Gordon walked over and asked Li Dong with a smile.

Li Dong hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to refuse, "No, no, no, I won't go, I'm going back to sleep." ”

Ha~ Gordon's expression suddenly became obscene, seeing Li Dong's appearance like avoiding snakes and scorpions, he suddenly felt very funny, approached Li Dong and asked with a smile: "Li, don't you think about it, just go to a nightclub to drink, relax, it's not a big deal." ”

"Don't say it, Li is not even over 20 years old, and he can only drink Coke when he goes to a nightclub." Watson laughed.

Gordon was scared, "yes, I forgot about it, you're only 19 years old!" ”

Li Dong's face darkened, "Luis, it seems that you are not a few years older than me, okay?" ”

Aaron Gordon said: "Hey, I heard that you have a lot of female fans now, you played so well in this game, it is estimated that the number of fans will explode." ”

Li Dong grabbed the long-sleeved pullover jacket, drilled his head, and came out of the collar, hearing Aaron say this, his eyebrows raised, and he asked rhetorically, "And then?" ”

"Then you know!" Aaron showed an expression that you know and I know, which made Li Dong speechless.

But Watson also came to dismantle Li Dong's stage: "Hehe, Louis, do you think Li is a man like you?" People are very innocent, and they haven't even held a girl's hand! ”

"Fart, hands are still held!" Li Dong became more and more unbearable, these unserious guys always like to chat about these topics.

Qian Ning Frye also came over, looked Li Dong up and down, and said suspiciously: "Li, should you still be a virgin?" ”

"Fart, how is that possible?" Li Dong hurriedly denied it with a weak heart.

Everyone burst into laughter, leaning forward and leaning back on their positions one by one, and even Peyton, who had always been at odds with Li Dong, had a smile on his face.

Li Dong's face suddenly turned red, and he felt hot, he was really going to be embarrassed and thrown home.

"Let's go, go to the nightclub and relax, we played so hard today, right?" Aaron Gordon grabbed Li Dong's arm and looked like he was going to drag him away.

"Okay, okay, don't drag me down." Li Dong waved his hand to admit defeat, "I will leave by myself." ”

"yes, it's just a nightclub, what's the big deal." Watson was very able to grasp Li Dong's heart, and immediately said what Li Donggang wanted to say to be bold.

After everyone had finished showering and cleaning up, the door to the locker room was pushed open by a hand in a black suit.

Head coach Scott Skilles showed his head, he glanced at Li Dong and Oladipo, who were surrounded by the crowd, and beckoned to the two: "Lee, Victor, you two and I come over and go to the press conference." ”

"Press conference?" Li Dong was overjoyed, as if he had caught a holy decree, he turned around and avoided everyone's clutches, and hid behind Skiers.

"Victor, watch that kid later, don't let that kid slip away!" Gordon stared at Li Dong, who ran away, and said to Oladipo, who was also about to walk over.

"Don't worry, he will never be able to escape!" Oladipo laughed.

Then Skiers took the lead in the front, Li Dong and Oladipo followed Skiers, and there were some photographers with cameras and reporters with different media signs, and from time to time some reporters took out their SLRs and took pictures of Li Dong and Oladipo walking side by side.

The press conference hall of the target center stadium is quite large, and after walking in, it is already dark and full of media.

As soon as he saw the tall Li Dong walk in, everyone's eyes stared at him in unison, and the eagerness in his eyes was obvious.

After a brief sitting, the official staff presided over the press conference.

"First question." The staff member is a blonde woman in a black work suit, who looks particularly capable and speaks very clearly.

The audience was in an uproar, and all of them raised their hands.

Oladipo and head coach Skiles glanced at each other and secretly sweated for Li Dong.

The reporter of the "Minnesota Chronicle" was first hit, and the male reporter with black-rimmed glasses excitedly took the microphone, and then he held his glasses and asked: "I want to ask Li Dong, you scored a career-high 45 points in this game, and this is only your 14th game in the NBA, what do you think about this?" ”

This is a decent question, Li Dong thought for a while, and then organized the language to say: "As you said, I got a high score, and this is only the beginning of my career. But in the face of victory, everything is cloudy, and although I got high scores, for me, the team's victory is more important. ”

Skiles nodded, he suddenly remembered that during the draft conference, Li Dong had made a super speech, and this post-game press conference would not be difficult for him.

Then the "Fox Sports" Minnesota reporter asked the second question, "Before that, the highest single-game scoring record for Chinese in the NBA was Yao Ming's game against the Hawks on February 23, 04, and in that game, Yao Ming scored 41 points, so do you think that you have now surpassed your predecessors?" ”

This question is a bit sharp and a little insidious, Li Dong almost blurted out yes, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt a little wrong, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood the truth, so he slowly answered.

"I don't think I've surpassed Yao Ming, high scoring has a lot of chance, and stability is the standard to measure whether a player is qualified, Yao Ming's achievements after entering the NBA are obvious to all, it is he who has made countless Chinese fans and even Asian fans fall in love with the NBA, fall in love with the sport of basketball, he has brought people to think far more than the sport itself, if Jordan let the world fans know the NBA, then Yao Ming made all Chinese fans fall in love with the NBA, compared with him, I'm just a rookie in the league. ”

This modest remark avoids the truth, and Li Dong generously admits that his achievements are indeed inferior to his predecessors, so he can't talk about surpassing or not surpassing.

The reporters applauded one after another, feeling that Li Dong's words just now were very bright, and when he said this, Yao Ming seemed to be a bit remarkable, and he felt that his achievements in basketball publicity should not be underestimated.

Li Dong said and spoke, he was all interested, except for the first few questions, the reporters' questions became more and more miscellaneous and more and more partial, such as mixing in entertainment reporters like asking Li Dong if he had any plans to shoot movies, and Li Dong did not refuse, his brain was quickly turning to answer the reporters' questions, quite a feeling of tongue war.

It wasn't until the officials couldn't take it anymore that they stopped the reporters from asking Li Dong endlessly, and then asked two of the media outlets to symbolically ask questions about Oladipo and Skiers.

The problem is that the questions of the two media are "what kind of experience is it to be a teammate with Li Dong" and "how to evaluate your disciples." ”

The official staff rolled their eyes, raised their hands to see that the time was almost up, and then ended the press conference.

At this time, it was already half past twelve in the morning, and as soon as Li Dong wanted to slip away, a black palm slapped on his shoulder, firmly imprisoning him in place.

"Lee, what about the nightclub?"

Li Dong: "......"
