At the press conference after the game, Coach Dafan brought Li Lei, Odom, and Jones to attend.

The local Miami reporter was very friendly: "Stone, tonight is the night of your career, how are you feeling when you score 20+ points for the first time?" ”

Li Lei replied with a smile: "Great!" ”

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out: "Stone, you made a fatal mistake on your last ball." I said what if...... Note that if Jones and Odom had taken the last shot, would the result have been different? ”

This sharp question silenced the entire press conference.

Which media, this is asking Li Lei to death!

How dare you!

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun, who also came to interview, are FOX reporters, and this media likes to create gimmicks to attract attention.

Damn it!

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun looked at the reporter at FOX and wanted to screw his head off.

At that moment, Jones grabbed the microphone: "Good evening, Mr. Reporter." There is only one answer to your question, and that is no! There are no ifs in this world! Stone was the best player of the night and he came to execute the final shot, which was agreed upon by the whole team and the coaching staff. So, win or lose, we'll take it all together! ”

Old Jones was really interesting, hugged Li Lei, and showed his resolute attitude.

Odom also came over and hugged Li Lei's other side: "We are a family!" ”

Coach Dafan nodded with satisfaction: Although the team lost, this atmosphere made him very satisfied!

Da Fan took the microphone and said slowly: "The Heat team is a big family, and I am the parent of this family. If there's a problem, it's all mine. You can't go to a child under 20 to take responsibility, you can come to me! ”

The more Coach Dafan spoke, the colder it became, staring coldly at the FOX reporter.

Seeing that they couldn't get any benefit, the FOX reporter could only bow his head in a huff

。

……

The next morning, Haslem woke up with urine, and when he got up to "sing", he found that Li Lei had finished washing and was dressed neatly.

"Stone, it's still early, why did you wake up so early today?"

Haslem asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Li Lei twisted his neck and waist: "I won't take your car today, I'm going to run to the stadium." ”

"Run?"

Haslem still hadn't woken up a bit, and his head was a little confused.

"Hmm!"

Li Lei nodded, changed his shoes, and said, "Breakfast has been prepared for you, you can eat it when you warm it later." I'm going first! ”

Li Lei changed his shoes, warmed up a little, and left the house.

A cool breeze blew in through the crack in the door, and Haslem shivered, his bladder was about to explode, and he rushed to the bathroom with his legs between his legs.

By the time the "singing" was over, Haslem was no longer sleepy.

"Stone lost last night in physical fitness, this is to strengthen physical training. I can't be left behind by him! ”

Haslem hurriedly washed up, changed his clothes, had breakfast, and drove to the arena.

It was impossible for him to run to the stadium, a six-kilometer walk, and so much aerobic was going to lose muscle.

Haslem is short, and he relies on his muscles to mess around on the inside.

Li Lei and Haslem have always been the first to go to the stadium, and today is the same, but a little earlier than usual.

After a while, Kuang Lubin accompanied Wang Zhizhi to the stadium.

"Morning!"

The four greeted each other.

Kuang Lubin looked at Li Lei and Haslem, whose training clothes were already soaked, and had to accept it.

Li Lei was also very pleased to see that Wang Zhizhi could come to the stadium to train in advance.

As long as he is willing to work hard, Dazhi may not be able to achieve results.

After a while, other players arrived one after another.

Cato walked into the arena with a newspaper in his hand.

"Damn, look at it!"

Cato handed the newspaper to Li Lei.

Li Lei took the newspaper and read it, and other people also gathered around to read it together.

It turned out that yesterday's strong matchup between the Pacers and the Heat attracted a lot of attention.

Some reporters remembered what Morey said: Li Lei can only shoot three-pointers and never get 20 points. That night, I went to interview Morey.

The speed of these uncrowned kings is really faster than Li Lei imagined.

The reporter had thought that Morey would relent, admitting that he had made a mistake in judgment.

As a result, this guy didn't mean that at all, he said unashamedly: "It's really good to cut 20+, but the Heat lost, Stone is brushing up the data, and his 20+ is meaningless." What's more, he missed key shots, and he was the culprit of the Heat's loss. ”

What's even more bizarre is that Morey's views are also supported by many.

"If you lose the ball and cut 30+, what can you do if you lose 40+?"

"Data Brush!"

"That is, Wade is not here, otherwise that guy will never be able to cut 20+!"

"If he had given the ball to Odom and Jones, the Heat would have won a long time ago."

"The lore failed, Li Lei is the culprit!"

"Robbing Odom and Jones of the right to shoot, this rookie is too arrogant, something will happen sooner or later!"

……

Everyone on the Heat team was angry and scolded the media for being shameless.

They knew how hard Li Lei fought yesterday, fighting until his physical strength was exhausted, and he fought until he collapsed, but he was so hacked by others.

And it's not Li Lei who wants to play, it's Odom and Jones who were blocked by O'Neal Jr. and Artest, and no one in the Heat team can score, so Li Lei stood up.

How did Li Lei snatch the right to shoot Odom and Jones?

Damn it!

Cato pointed to the media that first responded to Morey: "This is the official media partner of the Mosaic team, and it must be Morey who contacted him and asked him to lead the rhythm." ”

The crowd scolded again.

That night, the Chicago Bulls arrived in Miami a day early to prepare for tomorrow's game.

Li Lei went to the hotel to pick up Crawford and entertained Crawford for dinner.

Crawford sighed: "Stone, I really didn't expect that stupid boy I saw on the field to establish himself in the NBA so quickly. You're so much better than my first year! ”

Li Lei watched Crawford finish eating a high-end steak in two bites: "Come on, isn't your contract year also breaking out, and you can sign a good contract in the summer." ”

You cow chewing peonies and swallowing dates, you already knew to take you to a cheap steakhouse on the street.

Hey!

Crawford smirked.

His stats have risen sharply this season, averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and he has finally made a difference.
