China on the other side of the ocean.

"The Clippers signed Chinese teenager Chen Lei, who is Chen Lei?" A fan who stayed up late rubbed his eyes and said puzzled after making sure he was not mistaken.

"China has another player in the NBA? Why hasn't this guy ever heard of it before? A man who had just finished fighting his wife also had a hint of doubt.

"Chen Lei, big forward? I've been studying in the United States since high school, so it's no wonder I've never heard of his name. Another person also had a question mark on his head.

"So fat? But it's not bad! A woman who got up because of a relative's visit put down her phone and a few little stars flashed in her eyes.

…… Like a drop of water falling into a lake, ripples slowly began to sweep, and distant Chinese fans all had one more name in their minds today, Chen Lei, but it was unfamiliar.

From leaving the training gym to returning to the hotel, the smile on Chen Lei's face has never disappeared, and the Clippers' 10-day contract is the best news for him, even more exciting than coming back from the crossing.

Entering the real NBA arena to play is Chen Lei's lifelong dream, even if he lived for so many years before the crossing, he failed to succeed, and that was the pain of his life.

"10 days, $5,000, that's a huge fortune compared to the salary in the Development Alliance!" Chen Lei smiled excitedly, you must know that in the development alliance, it is only tens of thousands of dollars a year, and it can get 5,000 in 10 days here, and the wealth ratio is completely different.

If you want to talk about money, in fact, he is not short of money, his family background is good and envious, his father has a listed game company in China, and even in the United States, he has his own Chinese electronics company, but at this moment, Chen Lei can't get a penny from his father, the reason is that the two of them don't want to see each other after graduation.

Chen Lei has a younger sister in the family, and he himself is the only male heir in the family, according to his father's wishes, he will return to China to help after graduating from college or stay in the United States to enter the family business, but this guy should refute his father's will and participate in the NBA draft.

This made Chen's father angry, and in a fit of anger, he blocked all of Chen Lei's credit cards, but fortunately, Chen Lei had cash in his pocket, otherwise he would have been sleeping on the street and competing with beggars for overpass beds.

But embarking on the road of professional basketball is not all smooth sailing, at least Chen Lei's beginning is full of thorns.

To say that his grades in college are not bad, at least the number is reasonable, but it is a bit unacceptable to be placed in this huge draft staff, not to mention that his team did not even enter the top 64, let alone anyone will pay attention to him, and even the domestic media have not paid attention to this Chinese kid who participated in the draft.

So the sad situation happened, Chen Lei was not selected by any team.

Fortunately, he got the opportunity to develop the alliance under the recommendation of a good friend, and finally he has been struggling with the development alliance until now, and the only money left in his hand is about to be exhausted, and the salary of the development alliance is simply unable to support his life.

No, after the Lakers failed in the trial, he had the idea of returning to China, and called his father to explain that he had unblocked his credit card, but the overdraft amount was only $1,000, in other words, even if Chen Lei changed his mind and did not return to China, he could not support his subsequent life in the United States.

In fact, Chen's father really guessed correctly, Chen Lei really won't return to China now, but he doesn't have to worry about his future, after the RTT gene chip is fused, he already has the ability to gallop in the NBA.

"All I need is a chance!" Chen Lei smiled excitedly, took off his shirt to reveal his strong and slightly obese chest, and lay on the ground and did push-ups......

On February 25, 2014, New Orleans Arena welcomed Los Angeles as the Pelicans hosted the Los Angeles Clippers.

If you want to say that the game between the two teams is quite interesting, the first highlight is Chris. Paul returned to his old club to fight, this was once Paul's home stadium, and the 20,000 people here have cheered for Paul again and again, although it has been a long time, but whenever he comes here, whether it is the fans, the team or the general audience, it is still very concerned.

The second focus of the two teams is the confrontation between the two young interior champions, the thick eyebrows Anthony. Davis and the White Monster Griffin, two young and enthusiastic insiders, have attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, for Chinese fans, what they are more concerned about is the Chinese teenager introduced on the official website, and they are looking forward to seeing him, because after the news was reported on the official website, the major Chinese reporters threw the interview to the Clippers and got the first news, that is, the Chinese teenager Chen Lei will play with the team.

When the news of the Clippers' signing of Chen Lei completely set off a storm when China was sunshine the next day, the situation of Chinese fighting in the NBA goes back several years, and how can you not look forward to it.

They are not familiar with the name Chen Lei, so the word 'Chen Lei' has a tendency to reach the top of the major search lists, but the information is very pitiful, and basically they have not found the content that fans need.

China also chose the sports channel to broadcast this game live, not because of Chen Lei, but because the game was finalized a week ago, and there were many more fans gathered in front of the TV than usual, most of them were curious, where is this Chinese who suddenly appeared.

In the New Orleans Arena, Chen Lei practiced mid-range shooting, although his mid-range offensive score was not high, but it also had a certain lethality, at least his shooting rate was enough to reach more than eighty percent when unguarded.

This is far from the small court I played on before, this is the battlefield that countless basketball players are looking forward to, and this is also the battlefield where I appeared as a player for the first time.

"Hey little guy, don't be so scared, it's just a game, don't worry too much!" Just when Chen Lei threw a few balls and then held the ball and watched the arena in New Orleans, a voice came from behind him, and he turned his head to see that it was backup guard Collison.

Chen Lei participated in training with the team yesterday afternoon, and the Clippers also got to know this new little guy, but when they learned that he was just a temporary worker for 10 days, most people lost interest in him.

Naturally, the starters don't spend too much time communicating with a temporary worker, and the benches don't worry about this guy stealing their jobs, even if the other players in the top 15 squad who can't play with the team are not worried about this guy squeezing out their place.

Of course, this can't be said to be the whole story, and Collison is the exception.

This guy has a lively personality and talks a lot, and he can be regarded as the only friend between the Clippers and Chen Lei at present, and Chen Lei has always believed in the principle that if you have a good relationship with the guard, you will have meat to eat, and invited Corrisen to eat a meal of Chinese food, although it took a lot of savings, but Chen Lei was not distressed.

You must know that he relied on this method to get a lot of opportunities on the Bakersfield Jam team, and thus won the attention of the Lakers.

"It's not that strict, it's just the first time I've stood on the NBA court, and I'm a little excited." Chen Lei smiled slightly, and glanced at the Pelicans team members who were warming up opposite, these guys should not look very difficult to deal with.

"I saw you very strong under the basket in yesterday's practice, and I'll give you the ball today when I have the chance, of course, if Coach Rivers lets you play." Collison dribbled the ball and made a few quick crotch turns, and said as he dribbled, "By the way, haven't you ever played in the NBA?" ”

Chen Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head, he is just a first-year undrafted guard, and it was already very good to be able to enter the development league, you must know that there are many first-round rookies in the development league, and no one will notice him at all.

But now it's different, not only has my personal strength improved a lot, but also has a good room for improvement, the only thing missing is the opportunity to show Xiàn.

After the warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room, and the coach made the final arrangements to prepare the players to enter the field.

The attendance rate of the New Orleans Arena today is about 80%, which is already a lot of cases in the city's regular season, and Paul's return still has many people coming to the arena, of course, there are also some yellow-skinned faces.

The visiting team entered the court quickly, without the name introduction of the lights off and hissing lungs in the whole court, and the simple trot completed the entry, Chen Lei lined up in the middle of the team, enjoying the first NBA player entry, and the little heart fluttered with excitement.

Compared with the Pelicans at the home of the away team, it is very lively, looking at the roars of the players and broadcasters who ran out in the cheers, Chen Lei is more envious and jealous in his heart, looking forward to the day when he can enjoy such treatment every day, of course, this dream is not far away at present, as long as these few games, conquer Rivers.

A few minutes later, as soon as it was ready, the two sides started the game and officially began, Chen Lei came to the sidelines with the large team and took a seat, looking at Firth with some expectation, hoping that he would call his name soon.

Rivers also glanced at Chen Lei, saw that his eyes were shining brightly, looking at himself and smiling in his heart, he turned his head to look at Paul and explained a few words to the other party and sat back on the sidelines.

(Hmph, hahe~ four more, I'm tired to death~ less fat again~)
