Houston at night is brightly lit.

In a restaurant in the city center, Lei Lin and Qin Dongmei sat opposite each other.

"How's it going, is the work thing settled?"

After Lei Lin drank a drink, he asked Qin Dongmei with concern.

Before the away trip, Lei Lin didn't answer Qin Dongmei's phone calls, and he didn't reply to text messages, which made Lei Lin think that he had no chance.

But I didn't expect that after I came out of the Toyota Center, I received a call from Qin Dongmei. This made Lei Lin excited, so he immediately drove to the University of Houston and picked up Qin Dongmei.

"Yes, an internship at a law firm! So please come out for dinner, this one I please. ”

Qin Dongmei said with a smile, solving the problem of work also made Qin Dongmei relax a lot. At least this job can provide Qin Dongmei with a lot of income.

“OK！ Congratulations! ”

As he spoke, the two raised their glasses and touched each other.

"By the way, how about you, I heard that at the end of this season, your contract will end."

"Yes, the contract expires at the end of the season!"

Listening to Qin Dongmei's words, Lei Lin frowned slightly, then quickly stretched out, and said lightly while drinking a drink. Then Leylin talked about the contract extension with the Rockets in the afternoon.

"What? You refused? ”

Listening to Lei Lin's words, Qin Dongmei asked in surprise.

After all, an annual salary of two million is too much for Qin Dongmei. If she only worked as a lawyer, even if she worked in the United States for one or two decades, her annual salary would only be about 200,000 yuan.

But after being surprised, Qin Dongmei was a little gloomy.

"And what about your next season? Where to play? ”

"I don't know!"

Lei Lin shrugged his shoulders and didn't notice the change in Qin Dongmei's mood.

At this time, the waiter in the restaurant brought up the dinner of Lei Lin and Qin Dongmei.

Then the two of them ate and talked there until the end of dinner.

"How about going to the movies together?"

After looking at the time, Leylin proposed.

"No, there aren't any good movies right now."

"By the way, in a few days, the King of Kung Fu will be released, let's go and see it!"

The kung fu masterpiece created by the two Chinese kung fu superstars has already created a big gimmick without looking at it. As a Chinese, Lei Lin certainly didn't want to miss this movie.

"Good! It was said that the movie was good, and I wanted to watch it too! ”

Qin Dongmei said with a smile.

However, it was still early, so after the two of them wandered outside for a while, Lei Lin sent Qin Dongmei back to school.

"Ah, by the way, tomorrow night's game, can you watch it?"

Lei Lin looked at Qin Dongmei with expectant eyes, tomorrow night's game is the last game of the regular season, so Lei Lin hopes that Qin Dongmei can watch her game live.

"Yes!"

"Then I'll give you the ticket tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Qin Dongmei, Lei Lin drove back directly.

……

The next day, after arriving at the arena early, Leylin was there to warm up with Sicoma for the later game.

It was the final game of the regular season, and to be able to play it at home was a blessing for Rockets fans. Because they can celebrate the success of the season with the players after the game.

In yesterday's game, the Lakers ended their regular season with 57 wins and temporarily topped the standings, while the Rockets sat in third place with 56 wins. If they lose their last game, the Rockets' season record is 56-26, and as things stand, there are three teams in the West that are likely to do so.

One is the Hornets led by Paul, and the other is the Spurs with a troika.

Then according to the latest ranking rules, the Rockets are very likely to drop the top four.

In fact, there are certain rules for the ranking of the NBA, before last season, the league's ranking rules were that the champions of the three divisions in the East and West directly locked the top three positions, while the runner-up of the other best division was ranked fourth.

As a result, the Mavericks' 60-22 record could only rank fourth in the West, resulting in the Mavericks meeting the Spurs directly in the Western Conference semifinals.

As a result, after the playoffs, the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, questioned the rules of the league.

So last season, the league changed its rules, and the winners of each division in the East and West and the runners-up with the best results were ranked in the top four, but the top four rankings were based on the team's results.

For teams with the same record, compare the winning percentage between the two sides first, and the one with the highest winning percentage is ranked first. But the Rockets have the same record with the Hornets and Spurs at two wins and two losses.

In this way, teams in the same division have the same win rate as each other, and they will be ranked first according to the highest win rate of matches in the division. In this way, the Rockets are at a disadvantage.

So this game is very important for the Rockets.

In the warm-up practice before the game, the Rockets players had very serious expressions, hoping to win for the team.

……

"Hey, Meimei, go out?"

Because Qin Dongmei has just found a job, she is still living in the dormitory of the school. Qin Dongmei, who promised Lei Lin to watch the game at night, was ready to go out at five o'clock. I happened to run into a roommate in the dormitory.

"Yes!"

With that, Qin Dongmei walked out of the dormitory directly.

When I took the subway to the Toyota Center, it was just over seven o'clock, and there were still more than ten minutes before the start of the game.

At this time, Leylin and their teammates listened to Adelman's final mobilization before the game in the locker room.

"Guys, I'm lucky to have such an important game at home. I hope you don't let down the fans who support you, listen to the shouts from outside, you are not just fighting for yourselves, you are fighting for them. Do the guys have the confidence to win against their opponents? ”

"Yes!"

Leylin shouted loudly as his teammates followed.

"Very well, I have always believed that fate is in your own hands, so the first or fifth, it depends on your performance. Come on! ”

"Come on!"

Rumble!

After the mobilization, the opening ceremony began, and the moment he entered the court, Leylin could hear the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis. After a brief opening ceremony, the players made their final preparations.

As he moved his body, Leylin walked to the center of the court, ready to jump the ball.

But then Leylin seemed to think of something, and then turned his head to look at the row behind the bench, as if he was looking for someone. After seeing the face, Leylin waved his hand.

"Ah, see, Leylin is waving at us?"

"See! See! ”

Several yellow-skinned and black-haired girls in the stands shouted loudly when they saw Lei Lin's actions.

After Qin Dongmei saw Lei Lin's actions, she also waved her hand, and then shouted softly in her heart, "Come on"!

Beep!

After the whistle blew, Qin Dongmei saw Lei Lin jump quickly, and then gave a relaxed arrow basketball to his teammates.

Qin Dongmei, who was excited, directly clenched her fists and waved them there.

I don't know when, Qin Dongmei began to care about basketball games, and intentionally or unintentionally watched the game about the Rockets there, reading the newspaper reports about the Rockets.

"Could this be a secret promise?"

After muttering, Qin Dongmei's face turned red all of a sudden, and then when she looked at Lei Lin, she looked a little shy......
