After taking a shower, Li Jie was called out by Jackson for an interview.

With him, there is Kobe!

"Coach Phil, are you going to give up the game when you replace Jack Lee, who has never played in the playoffs before, in the fourth quarter? As a result, he exceeded expectations. A reporter asked Jackson.

"NO, I don't have the word 'give up' in my dictionary, and we will fight to the end at any time. And Lee's performance is not surprising, we all know his quality. ”

"So, when our team was sent off by two people in the fourth quarter, I immediately thought of Lee, and as you can see, he played his best and led us to a comeback."

Jackson was there to talk eloquently, and he was very thick-skinned. As a well-known coach in the NBA, no one dares to question what he says.

"Then will you put Li Jie in the rotation lineup or start in the next game?"

"Of course, there's no reason for our hero today to continue to sit on the bench, and as for the starter or rotation, I think everyone will know in two days."

The reporters faced Jackson, the old fox, but did not succeed in the battle, so they turned their attention to Kobe.

"Kobe Bryant, will you be angry that Li Jie didn't hand the ball to you as tactically required in the last attack? After all, in the past, you had to shoot the last ball. ”

The reporter took it for granted that the Lakers' last attack just now was to hand the ball to Kobe.

Faced with such a question, Kobe Bryant also smiled and said without thinking: "I think you guys have been deceived, our tactics were executed well in the last ball, I was just a decoy to attract the defense, Li is our secret weapon, and it is no problem for him to execute the last shot." ”

These words made the reporters below turn their heads and ears, and the famous Kobe Bryant actually gave up the ball of the last attack to a rookie, which is really a long time to see.

"Then how do you evaluate Li Jie's performance today?"

"It was perfect, Lee stepped up when we needed him the most. And he brings energy to our team, which is exactly what we lack most in this series. I think Lee deserves all of you to praise him. ”

The microphone was finally handed over to Li Jie.

A reporter asked him: "Li, do you have any special meaning for the celebratory gesture you made after completing the lore?" ”

"It's my original move, and it means 'we've won, go to bed'. Maybe in the future I will register it as a trademark, and anyone who uses it will have to write an application. Someone Tian said shamelessly.

"Hahaha!" Now most of them are reporters who lean towards Mavericks, but it still caused a burst of laughter.

"Well, this action is interesting, I think it will be popular. Let's talk about today's game, Lee, did you think you would play today and play so well? ”

'Of course, as a player, I'm always ready. So when Coach Phil called me by name today, I rushed over as soon as I could, but luckily I was doing well and we weren't eliminated. ”

"Is there anything you'd like to say about the upcoming matches?"

'We were a slow team, the first few games were just warm-ups, we didn't play well. Then it's going to be the time to show our real strength and we'll come back and knock our opponent out of the tournament just like we did today. ”

The reporters below began to buzz again, and finally a local Dallas reporter raised his hand and asked with a slight mockery:

"As far as I know, no team in NBA history has been able to pull off a 3-0 comeback, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"We are the team that made history, and now it's 1:3, not 0:3, and there are many examples of falling behind 1:3 and completing the comeback."

……

After the Lakers' interview ended, the Mavericks also came out for an interview.

"Coach Carlisle, how do you rate the other side's performance? Which of their players have impressed you? A reporter asked.

"The Lakers are a very resilient team and they played really well today and they deserved it."

"As for the players, I was very impressed by the number 10 [Li Jie] on the other side, I didn't even know he existed before. But he punched us hard today and I think we've remembered him. ”

As the head coach, Carlisle is also very experienced in interviews, and his words are very clear.

"Dirk, just now Li Jie said that he would complete the reversal in this series and eliminate you from the competition, do you have anything to say?" The reporters in the audience continued to lead the battle.

The question of "uh......" surprised Nowitzki, who immediately thought that Li Jie was arrogant, but soon knew that the reporter was deliberately stirring up the topic and was thinking about how to answer.

Unexpectedly, Terry next to him suddenly grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "They don't have a chance, in the next game, we will eliminate them in Los Angeles." ”

"But Li Jie's performance today is really good, and if he continues to perform like this, the Lakers will not have no chance."

"That rookie did have something, but not much, and he took advantage of our slackness and underdog moments and played well. But it won't be like that in the next game, and we'll teach that rookie a good lesson. ”

……

After the interview, the Lakers didn't stop and rushed back to Los Angeles overnight.

Li Jie, who was a little tired, was not in the mood to enjoy the night view of the second largest city in the United States, so after getting off the plane, he returned to his rented apartment and fell asleep.

He didn't get enough sleep, he didn't sleep until 5 o'clock in the morning, and he met the crossing again, played a game, and although he was in a good mood, his body couldn't stand it.

After waking up the next day, Li Jie had time to look at where he lived.

The overall environment of the two-bedroom apartment is similar to that of China, but the kitchen and furniture are somewhat different.

Such a living environment is certainly not comparable to the big villas of those NBA players, and it is not bad in the big city of Los Angeles. But with Li Jie's current income, he can only live like this for the time being.

The only good thing is that this apartment is quite close to the Toyota Sports Center, the Lakers' training base, and you don't have to drive to work. And Li Jie doesn't have a car at the moment.

Many netizens know that the Lakers' home court is in Staples, so they naturally think that Lakers players usually train there.

Actually, no, Staples is rented by the Lakers, and it is also the home of many teams such as the Clippers, Los Angeles Sparks (WNBA), and Los Angeles Kings (NHL).

If every team is training there, there's so much space.

Lakers players usually train at the Toyota Sports Center and only go to Staples for home games. Even this training center, the Lakers share it with others.

By the time Li Jie arrived at the training hall, most of the team had already arrived.

He didn't hesitate either, and joined them after changing his clothes.

Because I just played a game last night, the morning is still mainly recovery training, everyone first in the gym iron, and then watch the video to summarize yesterday's game.

Li Jie relied on the memory in his body to quickly keep up with their rhythm and did not miss any flaws.

In the afternoon, there will be an intra-team match.

Jackson really started to reuse Li Jie as he said at the press conference yesterday, and arranged him to the bench team to play 5v5 training with the starting 5 people.

And he was replaced by backup point guard Blake.

"It seems that it was yesterday's game that made Jackson mistakenly think that I have the potential to play point guard, do you want to talk to him, but I am actually a power forward or a center?"

But this thought only flashed in Li Jie's mind and disappeared, with his current body and weight, isn't it looking for death to reach the No. 4 or No. 5 position in this era?

Let's wait until the summer to gain some weight!

During afternoon practice, the Lakers also received bad news.

Due to the nature of Bynum's foul on Barria last night, the league also issued him a fine of 15,000+ a one-game ban.

Odom's offense was less serious, and he was only fined.

In other words, in the next game, the Lakers, who are facing a desperate situation, will lose a big general.

Faced with this situation, Li Jie, who was already ready to move before, finally couldn't help it.

He walked up to Jackson and said cautiously, "Phil, Andre can't play in the next game...... I mean...... If we don't have people on the inside, I can go up to 4 or 5. ”

"Oh......" Jackson, who was still busy just now, raised his head and glanced Li Jie up and down, "Do you think you can play inside at your height?" ”

"Actually, I'm the same as Lamar, I can play from 1 to 5, I defended a few times in the low post yesterday, and I had good timing."

Odom likes piao, but he is really versatile, and he is one of the few players who can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.

So Lee Kit said he was as versatile as Odom, which immediately piqued Jackson's interest.

He recalled the picture of yesterday's game, and it seemed that Li Jie's defense in the low post was not bad, and then said with a smile: "Li, I will consider your suggestion." ”
