"Our house is very affordable, at least in the downtown area, it's the cheapest house, it's only $1,100 a month, you know, this is Los Angeles, one of the most expensive cities in the world."

Looking at the house in front of him, which is generally expensive, and then touching the small amount of money in his pocket, Chen Lei realized at this time that this money seems to be really important.

Chen Lei's salary signed with the Clippers has not yet arrived, so the money in his pocket is really a bit difficult to deal with this rent, and it is really uncomfortable to win this house with this cost performance.

I had no choice but to give up for the time being, so I could only continue to stay at Collison's house and continue to harass this guy.

Fortunately, he is not very famous at the moment, at least the agent in front of him does not know him, Chen Lei casually found a reason to say goodbye to this agent brother, and said goodbye to the idea of looking for a house by himself.

The Staples Center in Los Angeles on March 7 will be a lively event, with two local teams in Los Angeles battling it out in the same city derby as the Clippers take on the Lakers.

There are two pairs of teams in the NBA that can be considered a derby, the Knicks and Nets in New York and the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles, but these two in Los Angeles are different, these are two teams with a common arena.

So it's not just a city derby, it's a same-city derby.

Today's Staples Center is the home of the Clippers, and the Lakers' championship flags and retired jerseys hanging from the arena are all covered with black cloth, which Rivers specially requested when he came to the Clippers, so that it looks like the Clippers' turf.

Most of the Clippers' current activation roster of 13 will have been formed, and the Clippers' three-game ranking in the past few days also means that they will have to cut three, and the lineup changes can be described as very large, but the confirmed lineup is really strong enough for other teams trying to win the championship to pay attention to the team that has changed three people in a row this month.

On the guard line, the point guards are Paul and Collison, and after scoring, Redick, Crawford, and Reggie are the next players. Bullock, three of the five can organize the offense, and each of them has a good scoring ability, so this guard line does not have to worry about either the second team or the first team.

Small forwards Barnes, Granger, Dudley and Turkoglou, power forwards are Griffin and Chen Lei, and centers Jordan Jr. and Davis.

The lineup is quite evenly balanced, of course, more of the focus is on the front line, the forward lineup accounts for half of the team, so that in the face of those teams with three or four superstars, at least the defense of the Clippers will not be stretched, and the soldiers are very wide.

Chen Lei is beautiful today, to say that in the past, the substitute power forward was what Tekoglu was doing, but in the arrangement of today's activation list, the big forward except Griffin is his own, and Tekoglu was thrown into the small forward/power forward position by Rivers, so that he will have a lot of playing time.

"I'm beautiful~I'm beautiful~" Chen Lei hummed a little song excitedly, with playing time, there will be more points, and his attributes will naturally have more upgrade points...... Phew! I'm not just a random person.

Crawford looked a little unwell today, Rivers threw Collison into the starting lineup to form a double point guard, and the other three players of the Clippers were Barnes, Griffin and Jordan Jr., which was unchanged.

The Lakers' starters were point guard Kendal. Marshall, Score Kent. Bazemore, small forward Jordi. Mills, power forward Wesley. Johnson, center Paul. Gasol.

The Lakers chose one big and four small, and injuries caused a mess in this team's lineup, and many players who didn't have the opportunity to play before were mixed into the starting position, so on the surface, the two teams were too much worse.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game began, and the Clippers took the lead in attacking with Jordan Jr.'s jump ball.

Collison dribbled the ball across the halfcourt and handed it to Paul, and although he and Paul were the Clippers' two point guards on the court, it was not up to Collison to organize the game with a superstar like Paul.

Paul gestured for reinforcements, and Griffin pulled out from the inside for Paul to block, with the former taking advantage of the momentum to rush straight past Marshall to the edge of the box.

Griffin turned and rushed to the fastest follow-up of the basket after blocking the hand, and the rest of the Clippers all pulled out, so that only Gasol was left in the basket, Paul jumped up to attract Gasol's defensive center of gravity and threw the ball back with his right hand to pass the ball to the follow-up Griffin, who easily picked up the basket.

"Huh!" The basketball went to the basket and the Clippers scored the first point of the game.

On the Lakers' side, the basketball first passed to Gasol on the inside line to single Jordan Jr. to attack unsuccessfully, and the rebound was grabbed by Bazemore, and he took it outside the three-point line and pulled it out directly, and the basketball was hollow into the pocket.

On the Clippers' side, Momi has a clear attacker, Paul always takes the opportunity to give the ball to the most advantageous player in the court, while the Lakers mainly start from Gasol's point, but this tactic is much diluted in the middle of the first quarter, because the basketball turns three or four times, and other players will attack the basket directly whenever there is a slight opportunity.

Fortunately, the players on the Lakers' side felt pretty good, playing 9 minutes and 29 seconds in the first quarter, and 25:28 was only 3 points behind the Clippers.

Rivers was clearly unhappy with the scoreline, gesturing at the players on the court to signal a timeout, the referee's whistle blew, and the players from both sides returned to camp to listen to the coach's tactical arrangement.

"This is the Staples Center, and this year people here love you, it's the Clippers, and at this moment it's your home field, look what you've done, rebounding! Backboard! We had five fewer rebounds than them in the first quarter, my God, they only had one standard interior lineman, what were you doing? Rivers came up with a reprimand to the Clippers, and then hit the game board with a pen "Passion, positive, what we need is to use our hands to firmly grasp the score and win, and the rebounds must be guarded, this is the key to our offense, Chen and Davis, I hope that in the last two minutes of the first quarter, you don't let our walls collapse, and you have to protect the basket." ”

Chen Lei chuckled at the corner of his mouth, then turned into a stern expression and nodded, and after the pause, he took off his shirt and went to the technical station to report.

The first game after officially signing with the Clippers also has extraordinary significance for Chen Lei, of course, he is in a similar mood to those fans in China who have been paying attention to this game, as well as the Clippers team has gradually developed a good impression of this handsome big fat man Chen Lei's fan group.

"My God, Chen finally appeared, he was really handsome and cute." American girl.

"When you play, I'll just say, this guy can do it." A domestic fan.

"I hope he doesn't have a flash in the pan and sticks with it even if he can't become a superstar." A domestic fan.

"This bastard, if it weren't for his joining, Lao Tzu would have been able to sit at home and not be able to play? I have to find a few big men to explode his chrysanthemum! "A down-and-out player who was squeezed out of the squad by Chen Lei.

……

The Clippers are Chen Lei and Davis in the middle of the court at the moment, and the two of them were nicknamed 'Twomeatballs' by Clippers fans because of their obesity, which are two meatballs, also known as meat ball partners.

"Hey man, don't always pout your ass when grabbing a seat, it's easy for me to react!" A voice came from behind Chen Lei, who was in the inner line and ready to get stuck in the position, his scalp was numb, his body was shocked, and cold sweat floated by, and he turned his head to see that it was the Lakers' backup power forward Josh. Jamison.

This guy is very familiar with himself, he is a player in the development league like himself, he also stayed in the jam team before, and he was transferred away for some reason, but the two did not have a very good friendship during the same team, at least Chen Lei did not have much affection for this guy.

Obviously, the Lakers have found a lot of players from the Development League because of the recent squad injuries, and there are probably reasons why they are favored, and the guy in front of him should have been called to the Lakers camp from the Development League recently.

"You're so lucky to be on this stage, I really don't know what you're wearing under your fat skin? Is it the soap of your team's hierarchy? Seeing that Chen Lei didn't speak, Jamison said again, obviously more vicious.

"Damn, this thing has a really good mouth!" Chen Lei is a standard civilized person, his trash talk skills are not profound, in addition to directly greeting the other party's female relatives, so.

"Nima!" Chen Lei directly came to a national scolding, and the voice was not loud enough for the two of them to hear.

(Thank you for your recommendation votes, although I can't see who gave it ~ Ronaldo scored a goal, like one!) ）
