Chapter 207: Signature
A fatter fan sitting behind Li Cheng, wearing a Celtics' No. 34 jersey, stared at Li Cheng's face for a long time.
Li Cheng thought there was something on his face! He touched his face a little embarrassed and found that there was nothing on his face!
Li Chengzheng was puzzled, the fan actually took out a marker pen and handed it to Li Cheng, then pulled up his jersey, and said a little excitedly: "Li? Can you sign me? ”
Only then did Li Cheng know what this guy meant by staring at himself, and he was confirming whether he was Li Cheng or not.
Li Cheng happily took the pen handed over by the fan and signed his name. His signature, in Chinese and English, looks very foreign.
The fan looked at the front of his jersey and looked a little excited.
Li Cheng himself is also quite excited, this is the first time he has met fans in other cities who are looking for autographs.
He himself did not know that in this city. His paranoid and crazy spirit of never giving up for the sake of winning the game touched a lot of Celtic fans.
That is, Li Cheng's paranoia about victory and cherishing the last bit of hope made him still gain a lot of fans after the Pacers were eliminated. Stern also saw Li Cheng's potential to attract fans, so he insisted on the "Li Cheng clause" against public opinion.
Li Cheng's sitting on the sidelines naturally attracted some shots, but the protagonist in this stadium today was not him.
Yellow and green, life and death. This is a grudge that has lasted for decades in the entire NBA, and now that this feud is happening again, it has naturally attracted a lot of attention.
This game is also the first time that Li Cheng watched Kobe Bryant play as a fan, and the little blood in his heart that worships the star is still a little boiling!
Needless to say, Kobe Bryant's table in this game is needless to say, but Garnett blew up Gasol on the inside. Pierce also blew up Radmanovic in the No. 3 position.
Although the Celtics made two holes in the Lakers' defensive formation, the Lakers' triangle offense still worked very smoothly. Gasol couldn't keep Garnett on the defensive end. But his central role on the offensive end remains clear.
And the Zen master had already snooped on Rivers's secret weapon because of the walker.
Rivers used nothing more than to take advantage of the change in the pace of the game, as well as the defensive pack-and-roll pack, to catch the opponent off guard in a matter of minutes. And what he took advantage of was the opponent's surprise in a few minutes and hit a wave of offensive highs.
Rivers didn't expect Phil Jackson to crack his tactics cleanly.
Just in the third quarter, Rivers was ready to switch to the Big Three to strengthen the offense. Phil Jackson didn't make a substitution, but he did whistle off the court.
With the blowing of this whistle, the Los Angeles Lakers' offense also suddenly intensified.
In the space of four minutes, Bryant shot inside and outside, scoring points one after another. The Lakers pressed the Celtics to play a wave of offensive highs. The Los Angeles people instantly established a nine-point lead.
"Kobe time, it's Kobe time, it's beautiful."
"The Lakers haven't lost a game this season, as long as they're leading into the fourth quarter. In this game, can the Celtics break the Lakers' winning curse? ”
As it turned out, the Celts failed. Despite the triumvirate's efforts, the Big Three were unable to complete a comeback on their home court, and the Lakers won the game 109-106.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of this game. Lee stood up with his hands held high, celebrating the Lakers' victory.
Li Cheng's seat was behind the Celtic bench, and he was wearing a black Armani shirt, and his gesture of raising his hands in the air was also keenly captured by the director.
"Li Cheng seems to be celebrating the Lakers' victory. It seems that the rumors are not wrong, he is a Lakers fan, and he is also a loyal Lakers fan. ”
"Will he join the Los Angeles Lakers in the future?" The narrator asked this question at the right time, but I'm afraid that his question will be asked by a reporter soon.
Nissa interviewed Kobe. Then she aimed at Pierce again, but Pierce was a little less of a character after today's loss.
Li Cheng glanced at Nissa and didn't pay much attention. He sneakily bypassed a reporter who wanted to interview him and ran to Kobe Bryant, who was about to enter the player's tunnel.
"Kobe!" Li Cheng shouted.
Bryant turned his head and glanced at the person who called him suspiciously. He noticed that the guy was a little familiar, but he couldn't name it.
As we all know, Kobe Bryant is notoriously unable to remember other people's names. In the two years that Fisher left Los Angeles, the Lakers' point guard became Atkins, but Kobe Bryant kept calling him "fish!" "Fish" is Fisher's nickname.
"You are?"
"Ugh!" Li Cheng was a little embarrassed, he had thought about Kobe's countless reactions, but he really didn't expect Kobe to be this reaction. It stands to reason that Kobe Bryant shouldn't know what he is! Maybe there will be fans who don't know Li Cheng now, but as an NBA player, how can they not know Li Cheng?
In fact, it is relatively normal that Kobe Bryant does not know Li Cheng. Because Peter Pan often lives in his own world, and when Li Cheng rises strongly, the Lakers no longer have a game with the Pacers, and the Pacers will not become an obstacle on the road to the Lakers' championship, so the Lakers have no research on the Pacers, and Kobe Bryant has no research on the Pacers.
However, Li Cheng's popularity is still very high, and after the two of them were cold for a little more than 1 second, Kobe Bryant broke the embarrassment between the two of them.
"You're the one...... The Pacers' Chinese guard? Recently, Li Chengke has been a frequent headliner in the sports media, and his exposure rate is relatively high in various cities in the United States. Kobe Bryant instantly linked a lot of news in his mind with the Chinese who looked a little shy in front of him.
Li Cheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Kobe Bryant suddenly realized, "You didn't wear a jersey, I really didn't recognize you." What's the matter with you? ”
Li Cheng was slightly embarrassed, he wiped his hands on his body, and then took out a postcard and a pen from his pants pocket, "Kobe, you can sign me!" ”
Kobe Bryant was obviously stunned, looked at Li Cheng with a smile, and said, "Really fake?" ”
"I've been your fan since I was a kid!" Li Cheng looked at Kobe Bryant, just like an ordinary fan with the same expression as when he saw his idol.
Kobe Bryant smiled and happily took the postcard handed over by Li Cheng and signed his name.
"You're writing me a 'black mamba' in the back! I love this nickname of yours. Li Cheng said.
Bryant signed his nickname after his name.
The scene of Li Cheng looking for Kobe Bryant to sign an autograph was naturally captured by the media, and this set of shots is also very worthy of hype.
"The hottest scoring guard in the league today is actually a Kobe Bryant fan?"
"There is one question that is also more important, whether he is a Lakers fan or a Kobe Bryant fan, the two questions are very different."
"Looking at the purple wristband on his left wrist, I think he should be a Lakers fan!"
"Will he move to Los Angeles in the future?" The two reporters chatted and suddenly woke up, it seems that this is a relatively important topic!
After Li Cheng said goodbye to Kobe, as soon as he turned around, he was blocked by two reporters. The two are Los Angeles reporters who work for different units.
"Lee, were you just looking for Kobe for an autograph?"
"Yes! Kobe Bryant is my biggest idol. Li Cheng said, the tone was no different from that of ordinary fans.
Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the two reporters, Li Cheng continued to explain: "It's only been a year since I entered the league, but I grew up watching Kobe Bryant play!" ”
"So have you ever thought about moving to Los Angeles in the future?" A journalist with black-rimmed glasses finally threw out a very important question.
Li Cheng thought about it for a while, and said sternly: "I yearn for Los Angeles, I also like the Lakers, and I want to play with me even more." However, I will never make a move unless Indiana offers to trade me. It was Indiana who gave me the stage, and they saved me. ”
When the two reporters saw Li Chengyan's appearance, they obviously knew that they would never come out of Li Cheng's mouth today, "I will consider joining Los Angeles in the future." Such words.
They left a little disappointed, and Li Cheng went to say hello to Nissa and walked out of the arena. He's waiting for Nissa outside the arena, and the two of them are going to have a late-night snack together!
Li Cheng did not let go of training during this time in Boston, although he did not have the opportunity to train with the ball, his strength training did not fall behind at all.
Two days later, he went to the North Shore Garden Arena to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
This time he thought of buying tickets in advance, but the rest of the tickets were not in good place, so he had the cheekiness to ask Ray Allen for another ticket.
In this game, Celtic took the lead from the start. In the second quarter, they extended the margin to 20 points.
Rivers seized on Gasol's weakness in the soft style of the ball and arranged for Garnett to punch Gasol all the way inside. The collapse of the interior caused the collapse of the Lakers in the first half.
But in the second half, the Lakers began to catch up, but the Los Angeles Lakers dug too big in front of them, and they couldn't fill it in the back.
In the end, they lost 103-109 to the Celtics, but it was obviously a very good result for them to walk away with a win in Boston.
After the game, Bryant said, "I won't go back to Boston again." (The schedule for the Finals is different from the other playoffs, which are 22111 and the Finals are 232.) )
Bryant wants to settle the fight directly in Los Angeles, but how can the Bostonians let him get his way?
The competition for the finals between yellow and green has intensified, and even outsiders like Li Cheng have a feeling of blood boiling when they look at it. (To be continued......)
