"Let go of me, I'm going to kill that rookie!" Blocked in front of a group of teammates, Isaiah Thomas, who had just gotten up in embarrassment, yelled at Li Tian.

At this moment, Isaiah Thomas's face was completely devoid of the smugness he had just now, he never expected that Li Tian would dare to do something to him in the locker room, and he would beat him so hard.

Feeling the pain coming from his cheeks, he looked at Li Tian's eyes as if he was about to erupt fire, and wanted to rush towards Li Tian, but was dragged by other teammates.

Li Tian looked at Thomas, who was jumping up and down, and sneered in his heart, he wished that the other party could rush up at this time, although the time of practicing martial arts when he was young was not too long, but like Thomas, he really didn't pay attention to it.

"Lee, do you know what you're doing?" At this time, Smart also came to Li Tian's side, his expression extremely serious. In fact, when Li Tian just made a move, Smart was taken aback, Li Tian looked humble and calm at ordinary times, he never expected Li Tian to do it in the locker room, so that he couldn't rush forward at the first time.

Li Tian glanced at Smart, who was obviously angry, and said calmly: "Of course, coach, I beat a guy who is not flattened. In order not to let me perform on the field, he deliberately did not pass the ball on the field. ”

Beating Thomas undoubtedly made Li Tian's frustration vent in his heart, so answering Smart's question at this time basically regained his calm.

Smart's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Lee, don't make excuses for your violence, you need to take responsibility for your actions." ”

Li Tian wanted to say something more, but Thomas Robinson on the side was busy dragging Li Tian to the locker room, and said, "Lee, calm down, let's go back first." ”

Li Tian also knew that it would be useless to say anything to Smart at this time, so Robinson pulled him away, and behind him, Isaiah Thomas's angry voice was faintly heard: "Don't go, you thug......"

Li Tian and Robinson returned to Li Tian's residence together, and on the way, Robinson informed Pete Smith, who quickly rushed over after learning of the situation.

"Lee, you're so uncool!" After learning what had happened, Pete Smith said with a sigh.

Li Tian raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, he knew that he was really not calm like this, but if he could do it all over again, Li Tian would still do it, and some people just owe it.

Thomas Robinson hurriedly said on the sidelines: "Pete, it's the guy Isaiah who looked for it first, he definitely deliberately didn't pass the ball to Lee on the court, you don't know, Isaiah was severely taught by Lee at the beginning of the training camp." ”

"Lee, is it because of this?" Pete Smith asked, he wasn't there to watch the game, but he had a vague sense that something wasn't right.

"Yes." Li Tian nodded and told Pete Smith about the conflict with Isiah Thomas in training camp, and then continued: "He did it on purpose, I'm sure of that, and in the end in the locker room, although he didn't admit it, his eyes were showing off to me, which is why I punched." ”

As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, Pete Smith frowned and said, "But, Lee, you have to know that we don't have the most definitive evidence of all this, and Isaiah won't admit it. Also, these are not reasons why you can hit your teammates, so there is a good chance that you will face a ban in the future. ”

'It's all about how far the team wants to control it, there's no reporters on the floor, so it's not the worst-case scenario, but we can't be sure if Isaiah will get it out.

Knowing that something had happened and could not be changed, Pete Smith didn't say anything more, instead shifting the conversation to the aftermath of the matter.

"The Ma'louf brothers, the owners of the Kings, are in contact with various local consortia to sell the team, and I don't think they want too much negative press from the Kings at this time......"

When Pete Smith said this, Thomas Robinson immediately rushed to say, "Pete, you mean, maybe the team won't let this matter be exposed in the media?" ”

"It's just my guess, and I hope I'm right." Pete Smith nodded, kind of agreeing with Robinson's statement.

Next, the three of them discussed together the impact if the matter spreads, but fortunately, Li Tian is not famous now, so there is no need to worry about the negative news bringing too much reputation impact.

After seeing that Li Tian's mood was stable, Pete Smith and Robinson left, and Li Tian took out the iron book at this time.

More than five months have passed since I got the Iron Book, and except for the first page when I first got it, there has been no change in the Iron Book in the time since.

Today I got the opportunity to play in the NBA main game, which is different from usual, so Li Tian also wants to see if there are other changes in the iron book.

Turning the iron book, except for the familiar first page, there was still no change, which made Li Tian frown, it was obvious that this iron book had nothing to do with whether he played or not.

Putting away the iron book, Li Tian lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

The next morning, Li Tian went to the stadium to practice as usual, and when he came back, he turned on the computer and found that there was no report about his own play against Isiah Thomas last night. However, Li Tian also knew that it was impossible for the team to have nothing to do with his own shots, and he guessed that this afternoon's team training would definitely have results.

Li Tian expected it right, organized the team training in the afternoon, and the first thing after everyone arrived, head coach Smart announced the team's punishment for Li Tian.

"In view of Lee's bad behavior in the locker room last night, the team management imposed a 10-game ban on Lee and a fine of $30,000 after discussion."

When Smart said this, Isaiah Thomas's face was full of schadenfreude, and Li Tian was calm, he had already prepared for the team's ban on him, but 15 games made him feel a little surprised.

What Li Tian didn't know was that Pete Smith's judgment was still accurate, the team really didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and the 10-game ban was also to appease Isiah Thomas.

Thomas is indeed very satisfied with the team's handling of the game, after a 10-game ban, the schedule is almost halfway through, and Li Tian, as a rookie and a fringe player, has not had the opportunity to play for nearly half a season, and in his opinion, it is also close to being wasted.

It was with this thought in mind that Isaiah Thomas actually found Li Tian later, sneered at Li Tian with a smug face and said: "Little rookie, you finally paid the price for your actions, let's go back to China, do you think the team will still have a marginal player who can't play for half a season?" And it's also a draft loser. ”

Li Tian, who was sitting with several young players, looked at the gloating Thomas and did not speak, which made Isaiah Thomas think that Li Tian was hit by his own sore spot, and the smug expression on his face was even stronger.

"Whoosh!" At this time, Li Tian suddenly stood up, and his body seemed to be approaching Thomas.

"What do you want to do?" Thinking of Li Tian's sudden start to hit someone yesterday, Thomas was startled by Li Tian's action, and hurriedly flashed a big step backwards, looking at Li Tian with a wary face.

Seeing Thomas so nervous, the corners of Li Tian's mouth raised slightly, his body turned to the side and walked into the court, and he practiced with a basketball on his own.

Behind Li Tian, thinking that he was so frightened by Li Tian's action just now, Thomas's face turned blue and white. Without looking at the expressions of Robinson and the others who were still on the side, Thomas hurriedly walked to the other side and pretended to be casual and started chatting with several starters.

Originally, Li Tianhui was still nervous about the conflict between Li Tianhui and Thomas, Robinson, Whiteside and others glanced at each other, thinking of Thomas's funny appearance just now, they all held back a smile and began to chat in a low voice.

"Lee's action just now, it's so cool!"

"Cooler than yesterday's punch and kick!"

Isaiah's expression...... Oh haha, sorry I can't help it. ”
