012 Third trial
Li Lei stretched out a hand and said, "You just need to remember that we are a team." ”
"Team."
Dior was the first to echo and stretched out his hand to Li Lei.
"Team!"
Pachulia followed.
Milicic didn't speak, but he firmly put his hand on it.
"That's it...... That's it? ”
Mo hesitated a little, couldn't believe it, but still put his hand up.
Li Lei smiled evilly: "Of course not." ”
Mo trembled in his heart: Sure enough. This bastard Asian won't let me go easily.
I only heard Li Lei say: "If there is a good opportunity, you vote decisively." But if the opportunity is not good, you must not waste it! ”
"Uh...... Good! ”
Mo was still a little dizzy.
The game continues.
Gaines advanced beyond the three-point line.
Perkins took the initiative to pull high and did a pick-and-roll with Gaines.
This is the first time that Wade's team has appeared in combination.
When they came back from the pause, they were really different.
After the disassembly, it became Mo who defended Perkins.
Perkins immediately cut into the paint area.
I don't want to stop it, but the 185cm Tara can't pull the big meat shield of Perkins.
Gaines was quick and immediately lobbed the ball high and put it in the hands of the unguarded Perkins.
Mo was annoyed: "It's over!" ”
Perkins only needs to take one step to dunk directly.
Bang!
Didi!
But at this moment, a loud crash was heard, and then the referee's whistle sounded.
Offensive fouls.
Mo looked around and saw Perkins holding the ball and standing one step outside the reasonable collision zone, scolding "Fake" in annoyance.
And Li Lei was lying on the ground with a smile on his face.
It turned out that at some point, Li Lei had already stood on Perkins' forward route and deceived Perkins of an offensive foul.
But Li Lei also fell badly.
Although Li Lei is strong, he is not enough compared to Perkins.
Mo breathed a sigh of relief and helped Li Lei up with other teammates.
He suddenly felt that it was not bad to play with this guy.
The ball was in the hands of Milicic.
Mo advanced with the ball, went to the front court to block and dismantle with Milicic, attracted the defense and assisted Pachulia to score another 2 points.
13:0。
Team Wade attacked.
Wade took the initiative to ask for the ball and broke through to Beasley.
It's a pity that this guy actually deducted the flight.
Pachulia was under the basket, ready to confiscate the rebound.
I saw a small man rushing to the basket, taking off directly, and completing the dunk on Pachuria's head.
Bang!
It's Wade, Team Wade is finally open.
13:2。
The ball also boosted the momentum of Wade's team.
Under Wade's leadership, Wade's team narrowed the gap little by little, 35:33, and it was about to catch up.
At the critical moment, Li Lei hit two empty three-pointers, which extinguished the momentum of Wade's team like ice rain.
Finally, 41:35.
Milicic emerged victorious.
They played beautiful team basketball, and all five of them played well, including Xiao Mo who also showed good ball control and scoring ability in the second half.
Li Lei also performed well, making 3 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 9 points, 2 steals and 1 block.
Of course, his performance on the defensive end is not something that the stats tell.
Li Lei has done a good job in his own defense, and has also helped his teammates to assist and supplement defense many times.
Overall, Li Lei's performance today was great.
Soon, the tryout ended.
Pat Riley left a few happy player talks, including Perkins, Beasley, Dior......
However, Li Lei is not among them, which shows that the Heat team is not interested in Li Lei, or values Perkins, Beasley, and Dior more than other types of players.
Somewhat lost.
Shaking his head, Li Lei sorted out his backpack and prepared to go to the next stop.
Alston was waiting outside the door, but this time, he couldn't accompany Li Lei.
"I've talked to Riley about the same, I'm just waiting for the agent to come over and talk about the specifics, I can't accompany you to Houston.
Good luck! ”
Li Lei thanked Alstom for his guidance during this time, and then made an appointment to invite him to dinner next time.
After that, Li Lei stepped on the plane to Houston alone.
Milicic, Dior, and Pachulia also had tryouts, but none of them went to Houston.
Everyone left their contact information and went their separate ways.
……
The next day, when Li Lei arrived at the Toyota Center Arena, he had already packed up his mood.
The Pistons and Heat have two consecutive rounds of tryouts, which are somewhat disheartening.
However, in the matter of basketball, Li Lei has been rejected countless times since he was a child, his heart is very tenacious, he will not be easily defeated, and he adjusts quickly.
"Come on!"
Silently cheering himself up in his heart, Li Lei stepped into the stadium.
The next moment he entered the door, Li Lei was stunned.
A yellow-skinned man in his mid-30s stared straight at him, as if waiting for him.
"Are you Li Lei?"
The man asked in Chinese.
Seeing that Li Lei did not answer, the man asked again in English.
"I'm Li Lei, are you?"
Li Lei replied in Chinese.
The man breathed a sigh of relief: "I am Su Qun, a reporter from "Sports Weekly". ”
"Teacher Su?"
Li Lei really knows.
At this time, the exchange between China and the NBA had just begun, and there were not many Chinese basketball workers engaged in NBA work.
Su Qun happens to be a pioneer-level figure, the first text reporter in China to cover NBA games on the spot, and has been covering NBA games since 96.
After Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA, Su Qun interviewed him for all the regular season and playoffs in his first year.
"I like your article."
Li Lei continued.
Su Qun is different from ordinary basketball reporters, his literary skills are profound, and he has a romantic color, and sports news is written like lyrical prose, which is particularly emotional to read.
The disadvantage is that his subjective will is too strong, which leads to exaggeration and even distortion of what he writes.
This sentence directly pulled into the relationship between the two.
Su Qun smiled: "Really? It's an honor. I thought you couldn't speak Chinese, but I didn't expect you to speak so well. ”
Li Lei replied: "I was not born here, I came here after studying in primary school in China. ”
Su Qun: "Aoao." I'm here to record your draft journey as a way to popularize the NBA draft in China, and I don't know if it's convenient or not. ”
Li Lei thought for a while: "There is nothing inconvenient. It's just a little curious, how do you know about me? ”
The previous streetball game gave Li Lei some popularity, but it didn't let people in China know about it.
Su Qun: "Yao Ming told me. ”
"Yao Ming?"
Li Lei was even more confused, how did Yao Ming know him.
Su Qun replied: "It is said that Carol Dawson, the general manager of the Mosaic team, informed Yao Ming. ”
I see.
Li Lei understood, but he was still strange in his heart.
I participated in the trial of the Mosaic team, there is no need to inform Yao Ming, what does this have to do with Yao Ming?
Li Lei always felt that there was something strange in it.
It's a pity that I can't figure it out, Li Lei simply doesn't want to, adjust his state to prepare for the trial, this is the most important thing.
