Chapter Ninety-Four: Goodbye, Rookie Season!
"The game is over, the final regular season game of the season has come to an end, the Kings beat the Rockets on the road, this is also the last game of the season for the Kings, although the Kings have not been happy this season, but Li Tian has a perfect end to his rookie season with his outstanding performance."
"Yes, entering the league as an undrafted player, without getting too many opportunities to play in the early part of the season, Li Tian ushered in an explosion in the middle and late stages of the season, becoming the biggest dark horse in this rookie, Li Tian's performance today also gives us more expectations, and we look forward to him having a better performance next season."
In the commentator's words, there is a sense of reluctance and expectation, Li Tian's performance at the end of the season has indeed made domestic fans have more expectations.
Although the season is not over for the entire NBA, because the playoffs are more and more full of gunpowder in the next two months, for the Kings, the season is over.
Li Tian's rookie season is over!
Standing in the stadium and looking at the fans around him, Li Tian felt a lot of emotions in his heart, including nostalgia, reluctance, and longing......
After the game, Li Tian and the other Kings players did not leave the court to return to the locker room, because it was the last game of the regular season, and the players also had to thank the fans at home for their support this season and distribute some small gifts.
At this time, Evans and Cousins were taking turns to speak to the fans in the stadium, and while the two were talking, the audience erupted in applause from time to time, although the Kings did not have a good record this season, but most of the fans who will come here are die-hard fans, and at the end of the team's regular season, these fans are also full of reluctance.
After Evans, Cousins, and Jim Ain took turns to finish, the staff introduced the small gifts that had been prepared for a long time, and all the Kings players began to walk into the audience with the staff to hand them out.
Li Tian also walked to the audience with these small gifts and handed them out to the fans.
Picking up a small gift, Li Tian walked up to a small fan and gave him the gift with a smile.
"Lee, can you help me sign it? You've done a great job! ”
After watching the little fan take the gift, Li Tian was about to leave, and the little fan suddenly spoke.
Li Tian turned his head, looking at the adoration in the innocent eyes of the little fan, a strong pride surged in his heart, and he smiled lightly, he nodded and said, "Of course you can." ”
"That's great!" The little fan quickly took out the pen and paper that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago and handed them to Li Tian's hand.
Li Tian took it and signed his name, and while handing it back to the little fans, he asked with a smile: "Should we have another group photo?" ”
"Is that okay?" The little fan said happily.
"Of course!"
Li Tian nodded, and the little fan shouted happily: "Hey, Daddy, take out your phone and help me take a photo with Li." The photo of Jack and Lee was amazing! ”
"Okay, Jack, right away!" Next to the young fan named Jack, a middle-aged white man quickly pulled out his mobile phone.
After taking several photos with Jack, Li Tian turned around to leave, when Jack shouted again: "Lee, will you be in the Kings next season?" ”
"I want to stay here." Li Tian replied after a slight groan.
"Lee, you have to stay with the Kings, I love watching you play, your running and shooting are so cool!"
Looking at Jack's face, Li Tian smiled slightly, nodded, gently touched Jack's head and said, "Of course, I also like to have fans like you watching my games, I will stay here as much as possible, if the team needs me." ”
"Yes, the team will definitely keep you." Little Jack swore and shouted, as if he could call the shots for the team, which made Li Tian laugh.
Not every fan will delay Li Tian's time like Jack Jr., but even so, after the distribution of the Kings players and staff was completed, it was nearly half an hour later, at this time, Li Tian and the others returned to the locker room, and the fans began to leave the stadium.
"Oh, it's over season!" As soon as they entered the locker room, the Kings' players shouted.
"Wonderful holiday, I'm coming!"
While talking, several players actually danced in the locker room, and I have to say that blacks do have very good talent in this area, and they actually have a good look. I don't know who played the music in the locker room, which made the atmosphere more and more enthusiastic, and the rest of the Kings players began to join them, including Li Tian, and even Jim Ain was pulled down.
And in this, naturally, teasing each other is indispensable.
"Dude, what are you dancing, hip shaking?"
"Man, don't you see, this is the most primitive dance of human beings."
"Of course, I can see, hahaha, the creation of man also needs such a dance, yes, this is primitive."
The end of the season was for all the players to relax and after a bit of madness, everyone sat down and talked about their plans for the summer.
The offseason is an important time to relax for NBA players who have been busy for half a year, and on days when there are games, players spend most of their time playing or on their way to games.
Li Tian was also asked about his plans for this summer, Li Tian thought about it and seemed that he really didn't have too many plans, first go back to China to meet his parents, and then return to Sacramento, or accompany Annette to Los Angeles, well, it depends on the situation after that, and wait until July 1 when the free market opens to get his next contract before deciding.
In the chat, Li Tian took out his phone, and there was a message in it, very brief, from Agary Ranadave.
"You've done a great job, goodbye, good night!"
Looking at the time, Li Tian found that it was probably sent at the end of the game, because the league has a rule that mobile devices cannot be used during the game, including halftime, so Li Tian has not seen it before.
I don't know if the other party has already slept at this time, Li Tian didn't reply to the text message, let's make up for it tomorrow.
After spending nearly two hours in the locker room after the usual game, the players finally started to leave one after another, and Li Tian also packed up his things and left after taking a shower.
Walking out of the arena, Li Tian exhaled a long breath, he was still preparing for the draft this summer last year, and this summer, he already has the capital to survive in the NBA, and where will he be next summer?
Do you want to continue to finish the regular season like tonight and leave? Or are you actively preparing for the playoffs?
Neither the night breeze nor the stars in the sky gave Li Tian an answer, and when he looked back at the arena behind him, Li Tian waved his hand.
Goodbye, 12-13 season, goodbye, rookie!
Taking a step, Li Tian is getting farther and farther away from the arena, and when he appears in the NBA again, he will be even better!
