"Lee, do you need to be so serious? We won't be able to play anyway. "At the Sleep Train Arena, center Hassan Whiteside grabbed a ball thrown by Li Tian and threw it back into Li Tian's hands, looking listless.

"Huh!" didn't reply, took the ball again, Li Tian hit it steadily, and then said to Whiteside: "I'm preparing to play every day. ”

Whiteside shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, turned around and picked up the ball again, while Thomas Robinson leaned over and said, "Dude, do you think you'll play today?" ”

"Perhaps, who knows." Li Tian replied calmly, after experiencing longing and disappointment again and again, Li Tian's state of mind was also more peaceful, he knew that at the moment when it did not really come, everything was full of variables.

"I really miss my days in Kansas, and now I don't even know how to compete." Robinson sighed and said that although he was able to get some playing time every day, he didn't find his place in the team, so his performance on the court was not too good.

patted Robinson, Li Tian enlightened and said: "Thomas, don't be in a hurry, take out your attitude on the court, be positive, you have such ability." ”

"Hmm." Nodding, Robinson didn't speak anymore and continued to warm up.

After the warm-up, the two teams started the game, and Li Tian sat on the sidelines with other substitutes.

The Kings' opponent in this game is the Warriors, the two teams had similar records last season, the Kings were second to last in the West, and the Warriors were third from the bottom, but this season the situation of the two teams is completely different, before this game, the Warriors were 17-8 and ranked fifth in the West, while the Kings still did not improve.

The records of the two teams are not small, but after the start of the game, the situation on the court was not reflected, the Kings side Cousins and Evans offensive state is very good, frequently hitting the basket, and on the outside, Marcus Thorton has a good hand today, hitting two three-pointers in the first quarter.

On the other side, the Warriors were more defensive after Mark Jackson took over as coach, but they still held the offensive banner high in this game. Curry is hot on the outside, David Lee is also playing well on the inside, and other players such as Klay Thompson and Jarrett Jack are also playing well.

Thomas Robinson got a chance to play late in the first quarter, but he had a decent performance, first completing a dunk with Evans on a pick-and-roll basis, and then he grabbed a rebound from Cousins to make a second offense.

After more than 20 games, Li Tian also saw something, before the draft, Thomas Robinson was considered the strongest instant combat force in this rookie, because Robinson, who played in college for three years, has rich experience and physical fitness is also very good, but judging from the front nearly one-third of the schedule, Robinson still has a certain gap with people's predictions.

Of course, there are many ways to do this, first of all, Keith Smart's lack of attention has made him not have much playing time, and there is no clear positioning and tactical arrangement on the court, so the training he has received is naturally not enough, you must know that several other rookies who are at the top of the draft are now starters.

Second, Robinson's physical advantage in college has been lost in the NBA, making it difficult for him to attack under the basket and his shooting is inconsistent at mid-range.

"Maybe we'll have to talk to Thomas sometime." Li Tian muttered to himself in his heart, these things are easy for onlookers to see, and the authorities may not be able to see them clearly.

At the end of the first half, Li Tian still didn't get the chance to play, although he was calm, Li Tian was still a little disappointed.

The second half of the game started quickly, and the starters of both sides returned to the field, while Li Tian continued to sit on the sidelines. Keith Smart didn't say anything at halftime, which made Li Tian not have much hope for today's game.

Li Tian simply stopped thinking about it, just focused on watching the game, and in the third quarter, the Kings trailed by 3 points, the difference was not very large, and Cousins still had two free throws on the court at this time.

"Lee!" Sitting on the bench, Li Tian suddenly heard someone calling his name, turned his head, and found that it was head coach Keith Smart.

"Get on the field and replace Terek." At this time, Keith Smart's voice continued.

Play? Li Tian was a little stunned, all this was too sudden, he originally thought that he would definitely not get another chance to play in this game.

"Hey, buddy, the coach called you on."

It wasn't until Robinson pushed Li Tianhou that Li Tian, who was stunned for five seconds, returned to normal and stood up excitedly. At this moment, he was sure that he had heard correctly, Smart really called him to play.

"Lee, come on!" Robinson shouted behind him, Li Tian nodded and smiled back, and then walked briskly towards the recording table, at this moment, he felt that every cell of his body became excited.

This is the NBA arena, not the Summer League, not the preseason, but the real NBA game!

"One day, I'm going to play in the NBA!" Li Tian's ears rang with the shouting he shouted to his classmates when he was 11 years old, this is his dream, and it always has been!

Leaving his hometown and coming to the United States, training hard every day, and bearing blows again and again, Li Tianwei is to stand on the stage that represents the highest level of basketball in the world.

Li Tian has never forgotten his dream, even though it has always been far away from him.

And now, finally having such an opportunity to stand on the NBA court and realize his dream, his mind instantly became extremely complicated, full of all kinds of emotions, and the most of them was undoubtedly excitement and excitement.

The excitement and excitement made Li Tian's spirit a little trance, and he came to the vicinity of the middle line, wiped the soles of his shoes on the carpet and stepped into the field, at this time, Li Tian's emotions became more and more high.

"NBA, I'm coming!"

couldn't help it, such a roar appeared in Li Tian's heart, without warning, but from the depths of his soul.

It wasn't until he actually stepped onto the NBA arena that Lee realized how much he had always wanted to appear on this stage, and this desire exceeded his expectations.

He really stepped on the NBA arena, thinking of this, Li Tian felt that his body was trembling slightly, which was a reaction of excitement and excitement to the extreme.

Clenched his fists tightly, feeling that Li Tian, who was full of strength, secretly shouted to himself: "Fight this game!" ”

Passing by Evans, Li Tian was about to continue walking, when he suddenly found that Evans stretched out his hand, so he also stretched out his hand to high-five Evans.

"Man, come on!" Evans smiled at Li Tian and said that although the former best rookie didn't spend much time with Li Tian, the relationship between the two was not bad.

"Thank you!" In response to Evans, Lee Jogged into the field.

Taking a deep breath, Li Tian calmed himself down a little, the basketball game does need excitement and passion, but he doesn't want to be too excited and affect the performance on the court, this is the first time he has qualified to participate in the NBA main game, Li Tian doesn't want to mess up.

Li Tian's debut is finally here, what will happen on the field next? No one can know.

Perhaps one person can know a little bit, after Li Tian came on the court, Isaiah Thomas had a strange expression on his face.
