Chapter 204: The First Arrival
The next day, Luan Jiye arrived at the airport on time, ready to fly to Houston, Maggie really came to see Luan Jiye, before leaving, Maggie also gave Luan Jiye a gift, a wrist guard with her surname, actually in Chinese font, which was embroidered by Maggie herself.
Farewell Maggie, farewell to the Lakers, farewell to Los Angeles, farewell to the starting point of his NBA basketball dream, there is no banquet in the world, Luan Jiye does not want to end up in a team, so he still has his own way to control, Houston! Wait for me!
Luan Jiye, who was on the plane, was excited for a long time, because he couldn't wait to play the first game for the Rockets, but no matter how excited he was, Luan Jiye still fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Luan Jiye was woken up by the flight attendant, he had arrived in Houston, Luan Jiye took off his luggage, got off the plane, came to the airport hall, and saw many people holding signs with their names, some of which wrote "Welcome to Houston!" Luan!β Others wrote: "MVP! Our championοΌ β
Luan Jiye saw that the fact that he came to Houston had spread in the media, and the fans were here to greet him? But where is the one who answers him?
Just as he was thinking, the crowd let out another scream, and at this moment, a bearded man walked out of the crowd! Luan Jiye doesn't have to guess to know that it's James Harden! Could it be that the person who answered him would be the big brother of Team Rocket? It's an honor, isn't it?
Harden saw Luan Jiye staring at him, so he said, "Hey! Luan! Welcome to Team Rocket! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Luan Jiye also stretched out his hand, grabbed Harden's hand, and then touched his shoulder.
"Well, Mr. Harden, why are you here to pick me up?" Luan Jiye asked.
"Haha, just get rid of Mr., because you're an important member of our team, and I have to come and pick you up personally!" Let's go, go to the stadium first, and then the team will arrange a house for you! Harden said.
"Is there still this treatment? I've always stayed in the hotel I rented in Los Angeles! Luan Jiye said.
"Of course, don't look where you are now!" Harden said with a laugh.
"yes, hahaha......"
The two of them came to the Toyota Center, and first went to the training hall on the basement floor, which is the place that Luan Jiye has been looking forward to for a long time, and now he has finally got his wish!
At this time, in the training hall, Ariza, Paul, Green, Nene , Capela, Zhou Qi, Bamott, Tucker, it can be said that everyone on the Rockets team is here, from now on, Luan Jiye is also a member of the Rockets team, D'Antoni saw Harden come in with Luan Jiye, so he said: "Assemble!" β
The players all gathered around, Luan Jiye stood in front of everyone to face everyone, D'Antoni hurried over, shook hands with Luan Jiye, and said, "Welcome to the big family of the Rockets!" Welcome, everyone! β
As soon as Deshuai's words came out, there was a round of applause below, and some people shouted: "Welcome Luan!" β
Luan Jiye also replied to everyone with a smile, and at this time, De Shuai said: "It's time to take makeup photos!" Let's go! β
"Okay! See you all back! Luan Jiye said, and followed D'Antoni away, and the two of them came to another training hall, where there was also the logo of Team Rockets on the floor, and there were many media reporters and photographers waiting there.
As soon as they saw Luan Jiye coming, they all gathered around and began to ask all kinds of questions, but Anthony said: "Let's finish the makeup photos first and then hold a press conference!" β
Luan Jiye took over a new set of jerseys handed over by the staff, which was the jersey of his Rocket team, still No. 6, Luan Jiye put it on without hesitation, and after taking the makeup photos, he quickly changed into a set of formal clothes to prepare for the press conference.
Luan Jiye first stood in front of the background board of the Rockets logo with his jersey, the back of the jersey facing the camera, and the press conference began, which is the time for reporters to ask questions.
First of all, a reporter asked: "Mr. Luan, do you have any plans to get here from Los Angeles?" β
"Of course, it's to help the team play well! And the Rockets are my dream team! The reason, you all know! Luan Jiye said.
"How do you think you're on Team Rocket?" Another reporter asked.
"When I met my teammates just now, I felt like the team was in a good atmosphere, so I love Hugh City!" Luan Jiye said.
"It's said that tomorrow is the game against the Warriors, do you think you're going to play better than you did when you were with the Lakers?" Another reporter asked.
"Of course, I'm only going to get better!" Luan Jiye said with a smile.
After the interview, Luan Jiye quickly integrated into the team, followed the training, and there will be a game tomorrow, still against the Warriors! That's why it's even more important to work harder!
Luan Jiye first went to the locker room to change into the training clothes that the Rockets had prepared for Luan Jiye a long time ago, and after changing in, Luan Jiye trained directly with the team, Luan Jiye felt that he was really much happier here than in the Lakers.
During the break, Zhou Qi came over, said hello to Luan Jiye, sat next to Luan Jiye, and asked, "How is it, are you adapting here?" β
"Of course, with our Great Demon King here, I'm happier to adapt!" Luan Jiye said with a smile.
"Haha! Just be happy! Zhou Qi said.
"It's going to be a game tomorrow, you don't seem to be able to get into the starting lineup for the time being, you see, the light bulb combination, Iron Man Ariza, Anderson, and then me, it's not suitable for the light bulb combination to play the bench for you." Zhou Qi said.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be in the Rocket team, I am willing to play as a substitute for the rest of my life!" After Luan Jiye finished speaking, he also thought to himself: "It's only a matter of time before he starts." β
Luan Jiye also stood up, picked up a basketball nearby, and started training again, Harden Paul also took special care of Luan Jiye, and kept telling Luan Jiye about the tactics formulated by the Rockets, as if D'Antoni was going to be replaced.
Luan Jiye has also been listening to lectures with an open mind, Luan Jiye is very good, he doesn't feel that he is better than others (unless this person pretends to be in front of him), in front of others, even if he is a substitute, he is someone else's senior, this heart that always holds an apprentice is really Luan Jiye's winning point.
Therefore, in just half a day, Luan Jiye has been fully integrated into the Rocket team, and when playing a five-on-five match, Luan Jiye's performance was also surprising, because he didn't expect Luan Jiye's learning ability to be so strong, and he could remember the tactics he had just told him once!
De Shuai was still thinking in his heart: "So, the Lakers are really stupid!" Give me such a good player! β
