Lei Lei had just arrived in Atlanta when the voice of the system came.
"Happy 19th birthday to the host! The system has prepared a birthday gift for the host, choose a bronze badge and 1W gold coins, and wish the host a happy life! ”
Lei Lei didn't expect that there would be a reward in the birthday system, so he decisively chose the badge of the first step master, and Lei Lei also had 5 organization badge points, and directly pointed the badge to gold.
1W of gold coins are all on the sports attribute.

Lei Lei is very satisfied with his player card, and his improvement is getting slower and slower, at the end of his rookie season, he can enter 90 ability points, thank God, the gold is no longer enough, and it all depends on the player training system and his own hard work to improve his skills.
Kobe Bryant was still in the same room with Lei Lei, and when he arrived at the hotel, Scott's coaching staff and the Lakers players all endured their sleepiness and came to celebrate Lei Lei's birthday as soon as possible.
And the Lakers players also posted a video of eating cake together and blowing out candles on the Internet.
Netizens all over the Internet forgot that Lei Lei had just turned 19 years old.
'What? Lei Cai 19? ’
'Really? Ray just turned 19! ’
'Definitely a superstar! ’
'Ray's stats at 2K are already at 95! ’
'The Lakers are going to rise again!' ’
After celebrating Lei Lei's birthday, the players returned to their respective rooms to rest, ready to meet the game in the best condition.
Scott and his coaching staff did not rest immediately, but discussed it in the room.
"Let Lei Lei play the No. 2 position in the next game, the position he is most familiar with, with his physical condition, whoever plays in the No. 2 position is misplaced, which can reflect his ability to the greatest extent!"
"This season, whether it is my suggestion or the management's suggestion, it is mainly to cultivate Lei Lei, I really didn't expect Lei to give us such a big surprise, don't forget our goal this season, find the core of the team! Don't forget our purpose! ”
Scott has been thinking about this problem for a long time, and no one wants to mess up, especially when he finds the most potential rookie, but the team's Russell and Randle can't keep up with Lei Lei's growth rate at all, and after Kobe Bryant's retirement, the team only has Clarkson, Lu Wei, and Nick Young can help Lei Lei.
The Lakers will definitely trade and get rid of these two rookies in the offseason, Randle's team option will definitely be sent away by the Lakers, and Russell will be packaged if he doesn't show his value at the end of the season.
"Yes, so that Lei Lei will play very comfortably on the court, and the team management has also talked to Lei Lei, and will find a reliable helper for Lei Lei next season, especially this offseason, the team's salary will have a lot of space, Hibbert's contract expires, Kobe's retirement, the team will free up a lot of salary space and sign big-name players!"
Madsen listened to Scott's suggestion and agreed.
Other coaches on Scott's coaching staff also agreed to this suggestion, Lei Lei's performance showed that they would not lose their jobs next season, and everyone was thinking of going to other teams to seek jobs after this season, but Lei Lei's appearance made them all see hope!
Hope of winning the championship! I don't know how long the cycle is, but looking at this situation, with a good teammate, Lei Lei will definitely be able to win the championship! The rest depends on how the management finds a helper for Lei Lei!

In the next four games, Lei Lei played the No. 2 position, and Kobe Bryant came to the No. 3 position.
Kobe Bryant is also more confident in the No. 3 position, because there are many players who can't guard against the elderly and have too much experience.
Lei Lei simply lifted the seal on No. 2, but the game was won and lost.
Scott pressed Lei Lei to the bench whenever he scored enough points, not caring about the record.
Lei Lei also understands that he is not unwilling, wait, it's just one season, and it's not that he can't afford to wait!
The Lakers lost to the Hawks 100-110, the Pistons 99-111, the Raptors 103-102 and the Timberwolves 130-123.
The champion Downs has never won against Lei Lei and Russell.
Fight a few and lose a few games.
Lei Lei held the first place in the rookie list and never wavered.
Downs is firmly in second place.
In the All-Star vote, Kobe Bryant led the crowd in the first place.
Curry and James are firmly behind them.
In the position of All-Star forward in the West, Durant has completed the overtake, and the league has begun to suppress Lei Lei's vote.
The joke is that he wants to earn money again, and he doesn't want to be scolded, so he can only make Lei Lei and Durant's votes about the same, one person is one day ahead, and he can only wronged Green, ranking fourth, in front of Leonard, Lei Lei, and Durant.

December 12th
The Lakers take on the San Antonio Spurs on the road.
AT&T Center Arena, the place where Kobe Bryant is most familiar, where he has achieved countless honors, Spurs fans love and hate the former, and whenever the two teams meet in the playoffs, it is the Spurs' biggest headache.
Before the start of this game, the legendary coach Popovich said in an interview: "We all know very well that the current Lakers have Ray and Kobe, they are a strong team, everyone knows that I like Kobe very much, although he always gives me a headache, but it doesn't affect my love for him!" ”
"Ray has become one of the league's most popular stars by far! He reminds me of Yao in the past, but I've found a way, and obviously he's still young and has a lot to go....."
Popovich doesn't think Lei Lei will make too many waves in this game.
When Lei Lei knew this, he was still in awe of Popovich, but now it is less than one in ten! I have to teach this little old man a lesson! Let him know how good he is! Gotta impress him!
Duncan said in the pre-game interview about Kobe's retirement: "I couldn't believe it when I knew the news at the time, he is my old buddy, old friend and old rival, we have played against many times in our careers, and he will cause us a lot of trouble every time, it seems to have happened yesterday, and we are all old in a flash." ”
"Ray, you say? I must have followed that Lakers rookie, his news is flying all over the sky, I don't think it's impossible not to see it, I've watched his game video, I have to say that his style is very unique, they all say that he is 5 cm taller Jordan, NO, but I don't think so, he has the same physical condition as Jordan, but his style is not the same as MJ. ”
"He's alike, you know? It's very similar, but he's not, MJ only has one, and now the league can't find a template that meets him, he can only be himself, his style of play is very obvious, Jordan will do what he will, Jordan won't he necessarily won't, for example, his three-point is better than Jordan, you can actually say that he is 5 centimeters higher than Jordan who will shoot three-pointers, this is the rookie himself! ”
The reporters didn't expect Duncan, who has always been silent, to be so able to talk about Lei Lei and Kobe Bryant, and he also said the truth, which everyone never dreamed of.
