Chapter 28: Aunt Jenny
Li Jie did not perform very well in this game in G5, scoring only 20 points on 8-of-19 shooting, the lowest since his debut.
Fortunately, he handed out 11 assists, and the two three-pointers in the final moments were crucial, which directly sealed the victory, so he was still named the best player of the game after the game.
Although there is no trophy for this best of the show, it is still an honor.
After the game, Li Jie opened the system that he hadn't used for a long time to check the income of the game.
The system rewarded him with 192 game coins, of which, 20 points + 11 assists is 42 game coins, wins are 100, and throwing quasi-lore is 50 game coins.
It's another better day than nothing!
He felt that he obviously had a system, but his life was similar to that of no system, and he didn't have the coolness of upgrading and adding points.
At the end of the day, it's the pot of the system! On the one hand, it gives too few rewards to make itself uninterested;
On the other hand, it gives too much, and it fused the peak Green and Poole at the beginning, and now the comprehensive attribute is 93, which is also the level of a superstar in the NBA, giving me the illusion of being rich and safe, and losing the desire to upgrade.
Anyway, this pot is all yours, and it has nothing to do with my protagonist!
Fortunately, although the rewards given by this system are small, after the accumulation of these games, the game currency on Li Jie's account has exceeded 1500.
At present, he can buy most of the shooting packs or a silver-level badge, or upgrade skills, in short, he has a certain purchasing power.
Li Jie feels that he is now very similar to his previous life, when he received his first month's salary after graduation, he didn't have much money, but there was a little bit of money, and then he fell into the dilemma of what to buy.
Generally, this kind of person is easy to become a moonlight clan, and Li Jie doesn't want to be that kind of person, so he finally controlled his shopping desire, saved it first, and waited until the critical moment to use it.
β¦β¦
When Li Jie came out of the bathroom, the team's locker room was even more lively, and he seemed to hear a woman's voice.
βWhatοΌ Woman...... 1 v 15? β
Thinking of this, Li Jie hurriedly quickened his pace, he didn't even finish his clothes, and he wanted to find out bare-chested, maybe he could catch up with the live broadcast.
But when he saw the man's face, he lost interest instantly.
Oh, it turned out to be the boss!
Strictly speaking, it's the boss's daughter, the future boss - Jenny Buss.
She now has another identity, which is the girlfriend of head coach Jackson.
I said how could any woman dare to walk into the locker room, with her current status, who would dare to touch her. Besides, Aunt Jenny is now 50 years old, so it's good that she doesn't harass others.
Seeing Li Jie walk in, Aunt Jenny, who was chatting with Jackson, came over and hugged her suddenly, and after parting, she looked at Li Jie's figure and said with a smile:
"Hey, our star tonight, where did you just go?"
Li Jie felt goosebumps all over his body, but he still forced out a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bass!" β
"Don't be so out-of-the-box, Lee, you and Phil are the same, just call me Jenny!"
"Yes, Lee, Jenny is very easy to get along with." Jackson next to him also said with a smile on his face.
"It's an honor to meet you, Jenny!" Li Jie immediately changed his words.
"Yay~" Auntie was so happy that she opened her arms to him again.
This aunt worked as a model in her previous life, and also took nude photos for "Playboy", and her life style is particularly unrestrained, and it is said that she did not hesitate to deliver goods to her door in order to recruit Rodman.
After finding out that the other party was not good, he immediately dumped him, turned his head and got along with Jackson!
Now she won't look at herself in front of her boyfriend, will she?
It's not impossible, Jackson is 16 years older than Aunt Jenny, and now he's 66, so it's normal that he can't do that.
"I didn't expect that I would have a day to eat with my face, hehe!" Thinking of this, Li Jie's inner resistance to his aunt was a little smaller.
However, the aunt was not interested in him at all!
"Phil, you know what? The guys in our department love this lad to death, they talk about him and the big market behind him every day. β
These words made the smile on Li Jie's face stop abruptly, it turned out that my aunt was not interested in me personally, but in the market behind me.
Aunt Jenny is currently the vice president of the Lakers, mainly responsible for business development.
Li Jie suddenly became popular, and the happiest thing was naturally the marketing department of the Lakers, because he had a huge Chinese market behind him, think about the Rockets, who have made a lot of money in recent years with the influence of Da Yao.
Now the Lakers also have such an opportunity, and if Li Jie continues to perform like this, he also has a certain market in the United States.
No wonder Aunt Jenny was so happy the moment she saw Li Jie.
Later, the aunt really talked to him about a lot of business things, including his popularity in Huaguo, some future plans, etc., and seemed to imply that Li Jie should renew his contract with the Lakers.
However, these have been shirked by Li Jie with various excuses, and the most important thing for him now is to play a good game, defeat the Thunder to advance to the finals, and meet the Heat Big Three.
As for the business side, he also knows that as his popularity rises, the commercial value will definitely be not small.
But he doesn't know how to operate it very well, he was just an otaku in his previous life, who has come into contact with these, and needs some professionals to help.
And he doesn't have such people around him, so he can only put it off until the offseason, and then he will have time to build his own team.
There is also an advantage to dragging it out like this, if you also play well during the finals, you will be worth more at that time, and you will have more bargaining chips in the future.
Aunt Jenny saw that Li Jie had not answered her question positively, and knew that he was not interested, so she ended the conversation.
At night.
After the game, the Lakers players still couldn't go home, and returned to the hotel near the training gym to continue to live in isolation.
Somewhat surprisingly, Aunt Jenny followed and went straight to Jackson's room when she arrived at the hotel.
"This old man lets others live a monk-like life, but he sings every night, and he doesn't know if his body can stand it. Don't be unable to get out of bed and delay the game! β
β¦β¦
The next day, the Lakers will wake up early again and catch a plane to Oklahoma City to prepare for the G6 game.
Whether it ends this series of matches directly, or hits the tiebreaker, depends on the performance of this game.
Fortunately, Jackson was fine, although he got up a little late and was mentally exhausted, there was nothing wrong with everything else, and it did not affect the command behind.
Also on this day, the Eastern Conference Finals G5 officially ended, with the play of James and Wade at the last moment, the Heat defeated the Bulls 83-80, eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4-1, and took the lead in the Finals.
In this game, the two sides can be said to have played their defense to the extreme, just look at the score, the two sides have a number of star players, and the score is only in the early 80s, and the shooting rate can be imagined.
With 3:14 left in the fourth quarter, the Bulls still had a 12-point lead at home.
Unexpectedly, the next game changed abruptly, Wade continued to make strong inside kills, and the single person recovered 5 points. James also hit a three-pointer to close the gap.
Subsequently, Wade made another difficult three-point shot under the opponent's strict defense and caused a foul, 3+1.
So, you need a bit of luck when it counts. Wade didn't make a few three-pointers in his entire career, but at this time he came to a 3+1!
It's like Real Madrid can always complete the reversal in the Champions League, to say that the good thing is the championship background, and the bad thing is good luck!
In the G5 game of the Eastern Finals, the Bulls did not have this luck, and they couldn't shoot at the decisive moment and lost a good game! With James hitting another mid-range shot in the final 30 seconds, the Heat sealed the win directly.
According to the statistics after the game, the Heat's big three all scored 20 points, James scored a game-high 29 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Wade scored 21 points, Bosh scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the rest of his teammates did not score double-doubles.
On the Bulls' side, Rose had 25 points and 8 assists, but only 9 of 29 shots; Ruhr Deng scored 18 points, and the rest of his teammates didn't play very well, so it's no wonder that he lost.
