After the match, the trial was over.

Joe Dumas left a few rookie conversations, presumably with some interest in them.

Li Lei, Dior and Capono are not among them.

So, everyone packed their backpacks and rushed to the next trial.

At the entrance of the stadium, Alstom was already waiting for Li Lei.

The two walked and talked.

"Dumas' offer was about the same as the Heat's, so I declined," Alston said. ”

If the Pistons bid high, Alstom will prioritize the Pistons.

But for the same price, it is natural to choose the Heat.

First of all, the Heat are 25-57 this season, a veritable fish belly team, facing a rebuild. There are more opportunities in a team like this, and Alston may even be in the starting line-up. At the Pistons, Alston was 100 percent off the bench at Billups and never got a chance to start.

Then, Miami is a big city, with beautiful beaches and hot bikini girls.

What about Detroit? There are serious law and order problems, racial problems are prominent, fans are extremely savage, coupled with the extremely cold winter, and the heavy industry economy dominated by automobiles is in rapid decline......

Li Lei also talked about his performance.

Alston nodded: "You don't have to worry, ball control and poor passing are not a problem." Your defense is good, and with a solid three-point shot, that's the standard 3-and-D player, and every coach loves this kind of functional player. ”

"The only problem is that you're isolated in Detroit and you're isolated when you go to Miami, so you don't have a chance to show yourself."

The NCAA is a backup base for NBA players, and the vast majority of rookies come from the NCAA every year.

In competition, these NCAA players will naturally boycott players from overseas or other leagues.

Xenophobia is unavoidable everywhere.

That was true in Detroit, and that won't change much in Miami.

This is the biggest problem Li Lei is facing today.

Thinking of this, Li Lei felt very heavy and worried.

That night, Li Lei and Alstom boarded a passenger plane to Miami.

Li Lei plans to rush to Miami ahead of schedule to rest well and meet the second trial in the best condition.

But when he thought of being isolated, Li Lei was so worried that he couldn't calm down at all.

When he went to the bathroom, Li Lei also met Dior, and they were on the same plane.

Coincidentally, it seems that Dio is also going to participate in the trial for the Heat.

The two said hello.

The encounter during the confrontation made the two sympathize with each other and have an inexplicable sense of closeness.

At this time, Dior was also worried, obviously worried about being isolated.

After getting off the plane, the two simply walked together and stayed in the same hotel, so they could take care of each other.

In the middle of the night, Li Lei suddenly jumped up from the bed, startling Alstom.

Alston reminded: "Sleep well, or tomorrow you will be in no shape, and it will be miserable." ”

Li Lei laughed: "I have thought of a way." ”

Without waiting for Alstom to ask, Li Lei went out directly and knocked on the door of Dior next door.

Dior rubbed his sleepy eyes and was startled when he saw Li Lei, who was only wearing big pants.

Dio hugged his chest and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Lei then remembered that he was too excited, and came over wearing only big pants.

But it doesn't matter, Li Lei patted Dior on the shoulder: "Boris, we have to unite." ”

……

The next day, Li Lei, Dior, and Alston rushed to the Heat's home arena, the American Airlines Center.

The American Airlines Center is much busier than Auburn Hills Palace, with nearly 20 rookies participating in tryouts, nearly twice the size of the Pistons.

It seems that everyone knows that a rebuilding team like the Heat can get more opportunities, much better than the Pistons.

In addition, Li Lei also met two draft favorites, Dwyane Wade and Darko Milicic.

These two often appear on the screens and newspapers of major media, and they can't know each other if they don't want to.

Li Lei and Dior glanced at each other, walked to Milicic together, and sandwiched him between left and right.

"You...... You want to ...... What do you want to do? ”

Milicic was a little panicked, he was only 17 years old, half a year younger than James and nearly a year younger than Li Lei.

He took a boxing pose, and it seemed that as long as Li Lei and Dior took a step further, he would come with a punch.

Li Lei and Dior didn't dare to move for an instant.

Milicic looks good in stance, as if he has really practiced boxing.

Can't afford to provoke!

In addition, this guy has a very sensitive personality!

Li Lei can feel that this guy is very insecure. Otherwise, ordinary people can casually put on a boxing posture.

Good handsome guy, I have a problem in my heart.

Dior hurriedly raised his hands: "Dacko, don't panic, I'm Dior, Frenchman, we have competed together in the European arena, do you remember?" We are all Europeans, fellow countrymen. ”

Milicic let down his guard against Dio and looked at Li Lei with sharp eyes.

Li Lei smiled all over his face: "I am Chinese, China and Serbia are a pair of good brothers, so we are also good brothers." We must love each other, help each other, and make progress together...... Well, I can't make it up! ”

"In a word, we're here to find your alliance!"

Li Lei simply got straight to the point.

He recounted how he and Dior were isolated in Detroit.

Milicic immediately frowned: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Unite all forces that can be combined to build a united front against the NCAA."

Li Lei said nonsense.

Milicic naturally agreed, although he had a little problem in his heart, but he was not stupid.

It didn't take long for another European player to arrive, also a big man, from Georgia.

Zaza Pachuria.

Li Lei, Dior, Milicic walked side by side towards Zaza Pachuria.

Pachulia was scared to pee.

Three seconds later, Pachulia was part of the fight against the NCAA league.

Dior rejoiced: "There are already four of them." Just one more and we're ready to team up. ”

Milicic and Pachulia were also delighted.

But alas, they didn't end up waiting for the fifth man.

Both European and Asian players are treasured and protected animals in the NBA, which are too rare.

In the end, a total of 25 players participated in the Heat's tryouts, 21 of which were from the NCAA.

The other four are Li Lei, Dior, Milicic, and Pachuria.

Pachulia cried with a sad face: "It's over, it's just the four of us, and we can't form a team." ”

Li Lei, Dior, and Milicic stared at Pachulia like fools.

Pachulia was a little flustered: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Lei said: "It's indeed over, but it's not us who is finished." It's the NCAA player who teamed up with us, and guess how many times he touched the ball? ”

Pachuria's face flushed,, why didn't I react?

Li Lei was in a very beautiful mood, thinking to himself: Four are missing one, don't want 198, don't want 998, just sign up for a name, and quickly take you into the pit!

The kind that can't climb out.
