On April 2nd, Chen Lei failed to enjoy sleep this time, and Chen Lei, who was eating and drinking in a dream, was woken up by Lei Tingting from the dream of Jiushan Meat Forest.

"What?" Chen Lei rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at Lei Tingting.

"Big news, you got a big honor." Lei Tingting continued to shake Chen Lei excitedly, and handed the ipad to Chen Lei, "Oh, look for yourself, see what this thing is." ”

Chen Lei blinked, stretched and leaned on the bed, took the iPad and glanced at it.

McCarvey & Chen Lei won the Best Rookie of the East and West March.

Rookie of the Month? Sounds pretty good.

McCarvey averaged 14.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.75 steals per game in March, ranking first among rookies in the league in all counts, scoring 13 double-doubles and four double-doubles in 16 games, and averaging 1.97 steals per game this season, ranking fourth in the league.

Chen Lei, who averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in March, averaged second among rookies in the league in three points, scored 11 double-doubles in 12 games, and shot 63.5% from the field in March, ranking second in the league.

"Just found out I'm so powerful!" Chen Lei laughed, and he won the rookie of the week twice, and this time he came to the best of the month, which basically affirmed his strength.

"That's good news, isn't it? And your ** fans have exceeded 12 million, which shows that there are more and more fans who like you in China. Lei Tingting stroked her chest, "But this qiē is all my credit." ”

Chen Lei stared at Lei Tingting's chest and smiled, "It's good, come, hug!" ”

Looking at Chen Lei's eyes, Lei Tingting suddenly understood what was in his mind, threw the slippers on his feet aside, raised his foot watch and kicked Chen Lei's chest, but unfortunately Chen Lei's huge body of about 200 catties was not shaken by Lei Tingting in the slightest, and Lei Tingting's feet were grabbed by Chen Lei instead.

"**, my brother has been ** for two days, you can come over to me!" Chen Lei pulled hard and hugged Lei Tingting's waist, hugged Lei Tingting into his arms, and pressed her under Lei Tingting's resistance.

…… 10,000 words omitted from the content of shame......

Chen Lei has just been in the league for more than a month, and he has only experienced a full month, although he has missed a few games, the perfect table still makes the best rookie of the month in the East crown on Chen Lei's head.

This is a good affirmation, and it is also the first small honor that Chen Lei has been able to take out since he entered the NBA, although it is very small, but it is enough to prove that the rookies in the entire East, Chen Lei occupies the leading position this month.

With the more and more excellent performance, Chen Lei's fans are also increasing, not only the Los Angeles fans in China at the moment are also more and more fond of this fat man from China.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, Chen Lei took Lei Tingting to LM shopping mall to shop, basically three or two steps will meet fans who greet him, Chen Lei enjoys this feeling, after all, foreign friends will not be congested and ask for autographs and photos.

At this moment, Chen Lei has not signed any sneaker brand, so he still needs to buy these sneakers by himself, and his body type belongs to the kind of shoes, so Chen Lei basically has to buy at least a few pairs of new shoes every month.

He has no special preferences for sneakers, and the price of comfort is absolutely no problem, but the addition of Lei Tingting strengthened the aesthetic requirements of sneakers, and finally bought Ross 4.5 and 3.5 Adi, with a total of four pairs of sneakers in two colors each.

"Is this a hint to Adi?" Carrying four pairs of Adi's sneakers, Chen Lei suddenly thought of this, will others think so?

"If you think like that, I guess others will too." Lei Tingting pondered, "But this is not a bad thing, those sneaker contracts are not small, and domestic sneaker brands have recently thrown out big contracts one after another, so there is no need to worry." ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, I'll rest assured." Chen Lei nodded, and the two continued to shop.

The rest of the regular season is always so short, and more time is devoted to training and playing.

Fortunately, most of the Clippers' final opponents are not too strong, except for the Thunder, which is the Mavericks and Suns who are fighting for eighth place.

On April 3, the Clippers went to Phoenix to challenge the Suns, which is the team that Chen Lei has faced the most when he comes to the Clippers, and this is the third time.

The first time he faced the Suns was more significant to Chen, it was the last game of his probationary contract, and that time he used a critical hit to three points for the first time, and that time he scored 16 points.

In the third game after the official signing of Sun Stone for the second time, compared to the first game against the Suns, Chen Lei was not amazing, but his performance was not outstanding, with 11 points and 3 rebounds, and at the same time risked 5 mistakes, and he was ridiculed by many people after the game.

This is the third game, Chen Lei is still the starter this time, and he is still in the position of big forward.

In this game, Chen Lei completely bloomed himself, scoring a game-high 30 points while picking up 9 rebounds and sending 5 assists, without any suspense MVP on the spot, but unfortunately there was no similar task in this game.

Facing the Suns, who must compete for one of the eighth playoff spots in the West, the Clippers took it 111-106, putting them one step away from the playoffs.

Chen Lei's two starts were amazing, which Rivers did not expect, and Chen Lei's dominance in the inside line was reflected in both games, completely one smaller O'Neal, more precisely, a smaller O'Neal.

"It really makes me happy and worries me......" Chen Lei's expression made Rivers very happy, but there was also a trace of worry in his heart.

Chen Lei's strength is more and more displayed in front of the public as the game progresses, with fewer turnovers, high efficiency hitting rate, and most importantly, his interior dominance is also surprisingly strong.

Such a person, along with the huge Oriental market behind him, will be the object of every team's pursuit.

The strength is enough, and there is also the influence of the market, such a person estimates that every team is willing to give him a starting position and a salary of more than 10 million, but the Clippers, the Clippers can't do this.

Griffin is the champion selected by the Clippers, and he has also been cultivated for several years for the Griffin Clippers, and he is growing better and better, and he is more and more able to take charge of himself, giving up Griffin? It is estimated that it is unlikely.

But!

If you don't give up Griffin Chen Lei, you can't get on the throne, and he has such strength not just for himself.

Next year, or when Chen Lei's contract expires, more people will pursue him, will Chen Lei stay in Los Angeles at that time?

"God gave me a piece of jade, but it was a hot piece of jade, it's a pity not to throw it away, it's hard to ......" Rivers sighed bitterly, and he could be glad in his heart that this kind of thing would not happen until a year later, not a choice in front of him.

The Clippers who returned to Los Angeles overnight didn't have much time to rest, and it was early morning on the 4th when they got home, and everyone went home to catch up on sleep, because they would face the Mavericks back-to-back in the evening.

A Maverick who can also go crazy for victory, and a Maverick who can overturn any opponent in order to keep his playoff spot.

Chen Lei slept until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and they didn't need to train today, after all, they had to fight fiercely at eight o'clock in the evening.

After getting up and washing up, and having an American dinner prepared by Lei Tingting, the two went to the Staples Center hand in hand.

The Mavericks' lineup this year is not the kind of giants that are feared on the surface, and since the heroes left after winning the championship, they have not brought any effective impact to the championship, and in the final analysis, the stability of the lineup is not enough.

This year is much better than last year, and Cuban has brought together a good group of blue-collar players to join the team, but their biggest problem at the moment is not how to win the championship, but to keep their current eighth place in the West.

"This year's Clippers are very rushed, but they just wiped out the Suns and Timberwolves, should we be happy?" In the away dressing room, Carter joked as he wore his socks, and the rest of the group didn't smile much.

"Please, don't be so dignified, the opponent has just experienced a back-to-back, whether he sleeps or doesn't wake up is not necessarily, what are you afraid of? I know what you're worried about, but we're the matadors of Dallas and we're aiming for the championship, okay? Carter saw that no one responded, and there was some anger in his heart, what were they worried about?

"OK, Carter is right, don't worry about it, the Clippers are tough but we're not weak, and besides, have you forgotten the 3-game winning streak we just experienced?" Nowitzki clapped his hands, "Okay guys, destroy the Clippers, the playoffs are half a step away, I don't want to be told in advance that I can go home fishing, do you think?" ”

"That's right, we're going to win here today."

"I'm not worried, I'm just thinking about whether I'm going to score 20 or 30 points today."

"You're pretty much the same as I thought, wouldn't it be cruel for me to beat them by more than 30 points."

……

At 8 p.m. in Los Angeles, the Staples Center is lit up, and tonight's party still belongs here, attracting the attention of all Clippers fans.

At this time, unlike in the past, when the players entered, Chen Lei's ears were no longer uneven shouts, but unified loud cheers "Apache!" ”

Since Paul and others joked about 'Apache', fans in Los Angeles were the first to accept this nickname, and domestic fans also accepted Chen Lei's code name one after another, although it was later.

"Apache?" Chen Lei glanced at Paul backwards, quite domineering.

Chen Lei did not start today, and the back-to-back reason is that considering the team's physical fitness, Rivers let Griffin return to the court, and still has a starting tactic of two point guards.

The Clippers starting lineup, point guard Paul, scoring Collisson, small forward Barnes, power forward Griffin, center Jordan Jr.

The Mavericks' starting lineup, point guard Jose. Calderón, score Monta. Ellis, small forward Sean. Marion, power forward Dirk. Nowitzki, center Samuel. Dareham Porter.
