Although Li Wan really wanted to emphasize sex and ignore friends, not one, nor two, but three.

He had to give up the idea of having something to do with Taylor Swift. Drove to the hotel where they were staying and gave them a call when they were almost there.

When his car stopped at the door of the hotel, the three old guys ran over as soon as possible.

After half a year, the Ohio "four brothers" got together again, and they all changed more or less.

Cook shaved off his beard, and his hair was cut shorter as if a plate were on his head, drawing a black circle, and the whole muscle line was more obvious;

Mike Conley has grown a "mouth" shaped beard, which is a little more mature;

Li Wan is undoubtedly more handsome...... Of course, in the eyes of his three college teammates, he is stronger than before;

As for...... Oden.

Everyone is very unanimous - the forehead lines are deeper!

In exchange for this, it was a gesture that Auden liked to hear.

It's like time has never passed, and it's back to the good old days of college.

Anyway, when Li Wan saw this brother, his thoughts of pulling them to the octagonal cage to "deathmatch" were alleviated a lot......

There was a commotion at the door for a while, and Li Wan followed them into the hotel room.

On the way to Li Wan, they had already ordered the traditional food of "Christmas Eve": almond cake with the aroma of cheese, roasted turkey, various pies and cake-like baked polenta, topped with a thick layer of cheese;

Originally, Cook wanted to secretly order some wine, but Mike Conley, who treated him harshly, replaced it with freshly squeezed juice.

"Come on, this is our first Christmas in the NBA, congratulations on all of us achieving our dreams!" After the four of them sat down, Auden raised the glass from which the juice had been poured, tapped the outer wall of the glass with a fork, and motioned to raise the glass together.

After drinking it in one gulp, Conley began to distribute food to everyone, and he was always hospitable.

"Are you confident in tomorrow's game? We've all bought sideline tickets and waited! ”

Cook handed the plate to Conley, turned his head to ask Li Wan, and when he asked, Conley and Auden both subconsciously turned their heads to look at him, with a little envy in their eyes.

This is "Christmas War", the only sporting event in the United States to be broadcast live on Christmas!

How many viewers have to tune in!

If you can play well in a game like this......

Beauty, money, fame, I'm afraid of what you want!

Oh no!

These things, this is more than seem to have them!

Beauties have the "sexy ceiling" Kim Kardashian (in the eyes of black people) and Scarlett;

In terms of money, Li Wan is currently the person who gets the most business contracts and promotions among the rookies;

Not to mention fame, after the start of the new season, the first newcomer of the class of 07 to appear on the cover of "Sports Illustrated";

You must know that although Oden and Kevin Durant have both appeared on the cover of this magazine, they were both on the cover of this magazine, and it is much more difficult to surpass a group of NBA All-Stars and superstars and appear on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" after the war resumes!

When I think of this, my eyes are not only envious, but also a little more jealous......

However, in terms of performance, Li Wan is indeed worthy of the current momentum!

It's not that every game is played well, it's that it's crazy to go crazy......

So far this season, Li Wan has almost scored double-digit points in a single quarter in 10 games, which is unmatched by many All-Stars!

Li Wanyi shook his head with a smile when he heard that they had even bought tickets on the sidelines, and the three of them didn't know how much they had done behind his back.

"I'll do my best, Celtic...... It's hard to deal with! ”

Mike Conley nodded approvingly, the Grizzlies had already met the Green Army, and they lost by 30 points in that game, and they were bloodbathed!

Conley slowed down for two days before he recovered.

"You have to be careful of that Rajon Rondo, apart from the Big Three, this guy is also very good...... Lee, do you want to bake polenta? ”

"Hmm!"

Li Wan nodded, and both questions were answered.

"Poker face" Rajon Rondo, who will soon be called the "man behind the Big Three", is the one who connects the "Big Three" and allows the three to catch the ball at the most suitable time, the "brain" of the court, and the real tactical initiation point of the Celtics.

It's just that right now, this has not yet become apparent.

Oden saw that his expression was so serious, and showed a sincere smile: "It's okay if you don't play well, man, this month's Western Rookie of the Month is probably yours." ”

"It's not just the best rookie of the month in the West, it's the best rookie of the season, I feel that Lee is also stable, what is the long bamboo pole of the supersonic? Don't you score a little more, you're not as good as Li in other aspects! ”

Cook always speaks to his own people.

Li Wan is noncommittal, it's too early to say "best rookie", at least 3 and a half months away, who knows what will happen?

Moreover, as far as Li Wan is concerned, he doesn't care much about the "Best Rookie" award, he cares more about whether he can complete the system tasks and upgrade his template.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, he has secured the starting No. 1 position of the Lakers, and at present, in addition to the difficulty of scoring 33 points in a single game, the other tasks are almost in hand.

He was satisfied with the current situation......

"Don't patronize and put pressure on me, don't forget, we said okay, see you at the rookie challenge, don't let me in alone when the time comes, you will be a spectator on the sidelines like tomorrow!"

Li Wan's "poisonous tongue" was launched.

Auden looked like an "old man" again, and he took the roast turkey that Conley handed him, and although he didn't speak, his eyes shone with confidence.

Since his comeback in December, he's getting more comfortable with the league, with a double-double in his last two games, and just over a month to go before the Rookie Challenge, which is enough for him to hit the first-year roster by then.

Mike Conley is equally confident.

Half a month ago, he officially squeezed out Navarro and became the starting No. 1 spot for the Grizzlies, and can currently contribute 9.2 points and 4.2 assists.

This is not the top rank in '07, but it shouldn't be a problem to be selected for the Rookie Challenge.

In comparison, Cook is a bit more difficult, his average data per game is not much different from Mike Conley, the problem is that he is not the main team, and even the starting position is unstable, even if he is now averaging 8.2 points and 3 rebounds per game......

There are too many rookies with similar data, and when the league chooses, it will definitely choose those future cores with better prospects!

Of the four Ohio people, Cook has a high probability of losing the election. Unless he can average 15 plus 5 per game in the next period of time, and distance himself from other rookies with better prospects.

Li Wan looked at him like this and didn't say anything, but an idea suddenly appeared in his heart: Cook grabbed the throne!

According to his understanding of David Stern, he values traffic more than data, Yi Jianlian averaged 8.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and was finally selected for the Rookie Challenge, and the Huaxia market helped him a lot, otherwise it would be impossible for the UAE, which averaged only 36.5% per game at that time, to be shortlisted.

Since it's a gimmick, it's easy to do......

Ohio's "four sons" reunited in the rookie challenge, which is also a very good gimmick, after all, Li Wan has a huge amount of traffic, and in the case of Mike Conley and Greg Oden's performance can also be selected, as long as they emphasize this point with the media, then David Stern will definitely send a "favor", and David Stern's reflexes in this regard are beyond doubt.

The only problem is Greg Oden's injury concerns......

Since his comeback, his performance has been getting better and better than before, but Li Wan remembers that even if the original Oden came back after a season, the whole state was basically in a "stop-and-stop".

In case he folds in January, this plan will be out of the question!

Li Wan still hopes that the four of them will enter, otherwise there will definitely be more in the Florida gang. He didn't want to see Noah's face when the time came.

Thinking of this, Li Wan asked Auden about his injury, and Conley and Cook Qiqi cast worried looks, and they all knew that Auden's injury was a bit complicated.

Oden was not so worried, and his face was relaxed: "The situation is okay, at least within the controllable range." ”

"Carter told me that the most important thing to pay attention to now is to maintain the training volume of my hips, which is the key to ensuring that I am evenly forced, otherwise there may be a situation of long and short feet, and it is really troublesome to get to that point, but at present, his opinion is that under the condition that I guarantee the amount of training, I can play in the NBA in good health."

Conley suddenly realized: "No wonder he dragged us to the gym in the afternoon!" ”

Oden "hehe" smiled, smiling so much that there were a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his expression was relaxed, injuries have been bothering him since he was still in college last year, recurrent attacks, and now he can control it, for him, it is really predictable, the most ideal situation!

Li Wan was also relieved.

The reputation of the Suns' "miracle doctor" team led by Carter is absolutely no problem.

They also serve the NASA team to protect the health of American astronauts, which shows their excellence.

The 8th pick in the first round in 05 will suffer from expanded heart problems in the future, and players involved in heart problems will basically say goodbye to the NBA.

But after staying with the Suns for a few years, he was not only cured, but also became a famous "high battery" in the league;

Here are a few more obvious examples......

For example, when the 33-year-old Carter came to the Suns, he was preparing for knee surgery. But after the "miracle medical team" examined, it was found that it was fine, just one toe.

Then he almost doubled his appearances compared to the previous season;

Another example is O'Neal, who will be coming soon!

Under the treatment of the Suns, O'Neal played 75 games next season, averaging 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, proving that he still has gas in this "big diesel engine".

It is worth mentioning that after leaving the Suns and going to the Cavaliers and Celtics, O'Neal's attendance was only 55%!

Not to mention Steve Nash and Smalls, who quickly fell after leaving the Suns, injury issues caused them to fall quickly......

It was this fact that only Li Wan knew, which made him very relieved about the guarantee of the sun's "miracle doctor team".

"Lee, do you think you can be an All-Star starter?"

Cook suddenly burst out, and the eyes of the other two people lit up.

They all know that Yao Ming, who had just debuted that year, with the help of domestic fans, beat the "three consecutive championships" with 13 plus 8 data, and the "big shark" who won three finals MVPs in a row became the starting all-star center in the west!

Li Wan's data is much higher than Yao Ming's......

Coupled with the Los Angeles Big Ball City, as well as Li Wan's own popularity, this may not be impossible to come true!

"So...... Are we having dinner with someone who's going to be an All-Star starting guard in three months? Plum...... Why don't you take off all your clothes and leave them to us, and we'll be able to sell them for a good price!" ”

Cook said with a grin, and successfully obtained Li Wan's "white eye".

"It's too difficult to achieve ......"

Li Wan is not modest, Kobe's influence is here, on the Western defender line, this spot is fixed, and then Chris Paul is in the limelight this season, and the league has always supported this kind of rising new superstar, and it is estimated that the competition will not be enough.

And most importantly......

Yi Jianlian finished the first phase of the All-Star starting voting and ranked third among the Eastern Conference power forwards, behind Kevin Garnett and LeBron James.

The league had to change the rules, and rookies couldn't participate in the All-Star starting voting!

It is also this rule that since this season, there has been no starting rookie in the All-Star Game.

Li Wan estimates that it will still be this one by then, and he has no expectations for the all-star starter for a long time.

And in the case of the voting channel closed to him, he can only rely on the choice of the head coach of the West if he wants to enter the All-Star team, although this year's All-Star head coach of the West will most likely be Phil Jackson, but his choice, if there is an obvious bias, I am afraid it will cause a lot of controversy.

Lee Wan didn't think Phil Jackson would do that for him......

Chatting about this kind of thing, the more you chat, the more interesting you become, especially between a few old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, but the next topic is getting more and more biased, and the three of them have obscene faces, so let him talk about the two * encounters with Kardashian and Scarlett.

Cook asks a key question: "Is Kardashian's ** really that big?" ”

Successfully harvested Li Wan's eyes again.

In the United States, it is normal to talk about these things, which can be understood as intimate and generous, but also with some ostentatious elements.

But Li Wan doesn't like to talk about his private affairs, even if this brother can be said to be his three closest people in the United States, he is still ......

Can't say!

Of course, he answered Cook's question: "It's that big!" ”

After causing Cook to "Wuhu", he climbed into bed and went to sleep.

They chartered a presidential suite, and all four of them could find a place to sleep, and as for why Li Wan slept on the bed and the others slept on the sofa, the reason was also very simple......

He's going to fight the "Christmas War" tomorrow!
