Li Tian signed with the king, such news also did not attract much attention, because he did not show his face in China, Li Tian is also little known in China, and there are few media who pay attention, but there are some die-hard basketball fans who will pay attention to the NCAA to pay attention to such a news, but such fans are still a minority after all.

Signed with the Kings, but Li Tian did not get carried away, he is well aware that his current role is still the most marginal player of the team, it is not easy to get consistent playing time after the start of the season, there are still a bunch of players on the Kings' forward line, and many of these players have proven themselves.

So after completing the signing, Li Tian began to practice hard in Sacramento again. Before that, Li Tian rented a house in Sacramento, and then returned to the University of Kansas to bring his belongings to Sacramento, the most important of which was the iron book.

When he went to Las Vegas, Li Tian deposited the iron book in the safe of the bank, and after bringing it to Sacramento, he bought a safe and locked it in his residence, because it was not convenient to put it in the bank, and Li Tian needed to check whether there would be any other changes in the iron book.

After settling down, Li Tian concentrated on training, because he had already returned to China before the draft, so he did not return to China.

Li Tian's training is mainly running without the ball and catching and shooting, these two are the guys he is eating now, he must master more proficiently, in addition, Li Tian is also under the guidance of the team's trainer to strengthen physical confrontation and physical training, but these two training needs long-term accumulation, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short time.

Time passed through training like Li Tian's, and by the end of September, the rest of the Kings players arrived in Sacramento, and the new season began training camp on the first day of October.

On the first day of the training camp, Li Tian came to the stadium early, ready to meet the rest of his teammates and join the big group.

In addition to Li Tian, Robinson, Middleton, Fredette and other young players came quite early, and their qualifications are not qualified to play big names.

Subsequently, some of the team's veteran players Chuck Hayes, Marcus Thorton, and the team's core Terrick Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and others also arrived, and Li Tian took the initiative to greet these old players, hoping to get along better with his teammates and integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Others are also more polite to Li Tian and others, of course, it is inevitable to ask Li Tian or Middleton to help carry a shoe, carry a bag or something, in the NBA, it is a tradition for old players to call rookies.

Among them, there is one person who is not polite to Li Tian, and that is Isiah Thomas, who played in the summer league in Las Vegas together.

In the first game of Las Vegas, Li Tian performed well after replacing Isiah Thomas, and then Thomas got the chance to play again or the offensive state was not good, and Li Tian played better and better, becoming the hero of the King's victory, after the game, Robinson and Fredette and others were amazed by Li Tian's performance, which made Thomas very unhappy at the time.

So Isaiah Thomas has always been obsessed with Li Tian stealing his limelight, and Li Tian greeted him just now with a look of ignorance.

"The rookie, the rookie in China, help me bring those sneakers." As soon as Thomas sat down, he began to arouse Li Tian.

When Li Tian heard this, he walked over to help Isiah Thomas take the sneakers off the cabinet, whether it was him, Robinson, or Middleton, they had been called many times tonight.

"Come on, rookie, help me put my shoes on." Li Tian put down his sneakers and was about to leave, when Isaiah Thomas spoke again.

Li Tian frowned, if it was a joke to let him lift his shoes, he would be completely bullying if he asked him to help put on shoes, not only bullying, but also insulting.

Although Li Tianping looked a little sven, he was extremely arrogant in his bones, so he pretended not to hear it at this time and prepared to leave.

"Chinese boy, call you, help me put on my shoes!" Isaiah Thomas saw that Li Tian ignored it and immediately shouted.

Turning his head, Li Tian glanced at Thomas and refused directly: "I never help others put on shoes." ”

At this time, Li Tian was still calm, although he was very unhappy with Thomas's request in his heart

Isaiah Thomas joined the NBA last year, and he just became a veteran player, and he felt very happy at the thought of being able to bully rookies.

"Boy, don't forget you're just a rookie! Don't be so arrogant! Isaiah Thomas glared at Li Tian and shouted, and then he sneered and said, "You can choose not to do it, but you have to replace it with something else." Isn't there a very famous monkey in China, and you perform a few monkey moves here. ”

Although Isaiah Thomas did not scold the yellow-skinned monkey openly, the meaning of the words was almost the same, which made the anger in Li Tian's heart burn instantly, and he took a step forward and came to Isaiah Thomas, Li Tian grabbed the other party's clothes and stood up Isaiah Thomasti, staring at each other with dead eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I can show you what Chinese kung fu is!" ”

"Lee! Don't be impulsive! At this time, the other players rushed up one after another when they saw that something was wrong, and Robinson, as the person who knew Li Tian best, pulled Li Tian away as soon as possible.

Robinson is well aware that although Li Tian looks humble on the surface, he is rebellious at the core, which is why in that game against the Bobcats, Li Tian would make such a move after the fall of that leaderboard.

"Come, Lee, come over here." Hayes, who had been teammates with Yao Ming, also pulled Li Tian away at this time, and on the other side, Tyrek Evans was frowning and said to Isaiah Thomas: "Isaiah, this is the first day of training camp, don't make trouble." ”

was originally taken aback by Li Tian's appearance just now, and then heard Evans, the core of the team, speak, Thomas had to "hum" and sit down again, but his gaze at Li Tian became more and more unfriendly.

Because of this small turmoil, the old players no longer ask a few rookies to do this and that, after all, bullying newcomers is just for fun, and most of them are not malicious, so they can't make too much trouble.

Shortly after, head coach Keith Smart showed up at the gym with his coaching staff, and after some warm-up workouts, Smart said, "Okay guys, let's start the game now and let me see how you've improved this summer." ”

The starters were lined up in one group, including DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson, Marcus Thorton, Tyrek Evans, Isiah Thomas. In the other group against them, Smart selected players who had played in the summer league, and Isiah Thomas was put into the starting line-up with exactly five positions.

Center Hassan Whiteside, power forward Thomas Robinson, small forward Chris Middleton, scoring guard Li Tian, and point guard Jimmer Fredette.

Whiteside won the jump ball to help Li Tian's team in black training clothes get the ball first, and Isiah Thomas did not defend Fredette who was in possession, but came to Li Tian.

Isaiah Thomas's move made Evans a little stunned, but thinking of the skirmish between the two just now, he understood it again, and without saying anything, he turned to defend Fredette.

"Boy, I'm going to abuse you today and let you know what a real NBA player is." Stopping in front of Li Tian, Thomas shouted very arrogantly.

Li Tianzheng was holding his breath because of what happened in the locker room just now, although he knew that the NBA's team training was often more intense than the regular season, but he really couldn't look down on Isiah Thomas's defense, and when he heard the other party's words again, Li Tian suddenly sneered and said, "Then try it." ”

Leaning to the left, and then flashing to the right, it was just a feint, Li Tian successfully shook Thomas off a step, and then ran.

Although Thomas is fast enough, it is obviously not enough to have speed with the players who run without the ball, and when Li Tian came to the right side of the free throw line to receive Fredette's pass, Thomas was still struggling to get out of Robinson's side.

At this time, Li Tian had an excellent shooting opportunity, but Li Tian did not make a shot, so he held the ball like this, until Isiah Thomas came to him, and Li Tiancai jumped up and shot directly.

The height difference between the two of them was more than ten centimeters, so Li Tian could shoot with confidence, and Thomas could only jump up to interfere with Li Tian's vision.

Although it was not the rhythm of catching and shooting, although Thomas interfered with his vision, with the good feel that he had been training during this time, Li Tian's shot was not greatly affected.

"Huh!" With a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the basket.

"I in your face!" Li Tian glanced at Isaiah Thomas, and after dropping this sentence, he ran to the other half without looking back.

Only Isele-Thomas was left standing there with a flushed face, not knowing whether it was because of shame or anger.
