Stadium 416 is the battlefield

However, this did not affect Li Lei at all.

In the first few years after entering the alliance, Li Lei was scolded much worse than this.

still remembers the rookie season, because of the All-Star thing, Kenyon Martin, Kidd, and Jefferson teamed up to criticize Li Lei.

Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen also give the fans a rhythm.

At that time, Li Lei survived.

Now this thing is not even tickling.

The one who really gets tough is Durant.

Durant is a rookie after all, and he is psychologically sensitive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have created a bunch of trumpets and fans fighting each other.

In such a situation, Durant is very sad.

In order to avoid being scolded, he even threw away his backpack.

But it didn't work.

Fans should scold or scold.

It was in this situation that the Grizzlies and the SuperSonics met for the second time this season.

This time, the game kicked off in Memphis.

The entire SuperSonics arrived in Memphis a day early to train using the FedEx Center's annex.

The day's training is over.

Durant didn't leave, but silently practiced.

I don't know how long later, a figure appeared in front of Durant.

Li lei!

When Durant saw Li Lei, he turned his head directly and deliberately ignored Li Lei.

Li Lei smiled helplessly: "Kevin, you saw me, don't pretend!" ”

Durant couldn't pretend not to see it now, and said with a cold face: "What are you doing here?" Don't bother me training! ”

Li Lei shrugged: "This is the FedEx Center, my territory, I have the final say!" ”

Durant was so angry that he threw the ball: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

However, he didn't go far before he was stopped by Li Lei.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Durant asked angrily.

Li Lei said with a smile: "Idle is idle, let's train together." ”

Durant didn't want to say yes.

But Li Lei didn't ask his opinion at all, just notified him, and then trained on his own.

"When running without the ball, you have to make flexible use of reverse running, crossing, and sudden stops and starts...... Make your opponent never know what you want to do. ”

"You have to be decisive when you catch the ball and shoot, rhythm is very important."

"When dribbling, the ball protector must develop good habits."

……

Li Lei practiced while also bringing his own commentary.

Durant doesn't want to hear it, but his ears and eyes have their own thoughts, and they are not under Durant's control.

Whoever let Li Lei practice is what Durant urgently needs.

Unconsciously, Durant leaned over, imitated Li Lei's movements, and occasionally asked questions.

Li Lei also knows everything, and he has endless words.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

"It's not too early, it's time for me to go back!"

Li Lei finished the training and finished the final stretch seriously.

Durant is still unsatisfied.

But he pretended to have a cold face again: "Don't think that if you teach me this, I will forgive you!" ”

Li Lei smiled slightly: "Kevin, you think too much!" ”

"I teach you this, I just hope you don't continue to be sluggish, and I will be scolded for my bad eyes. Michael called me the other day, and this guy actually laughed at me for having worse eyesight than him. Come on, he chose Kwame Brown, are you worse than Kwame. ”

Durant was anxious: "How can I be more watery than Kwame Brown!" ”

Li Lei disagreed: "Then you just continue to work hard and don't lose my face." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Durant's answer, Li Lei walked away.

The next night.

When Durant showed up at the FedEx Center, he was back with his little bag.

When entering the arena, the SuperSonics happened to encounter the Grizzlies.

Li Lei was not polite at all, and directly hugged Durant.

"Kevin, what good things did you bring?"

Durant: "I brought ......"

Li Lei didn't wait for Durant to finish answering, so he opened Durant's backpack and pulled out a pack of crispy noodles from it.

"Here's for me! Today's training volume is a bit heavy, and I am hungry again, so I just ate a little before the game. ”

Durant: "......"

Li Lei ignored his feelings, directly rummaged through his backpack, and took away his favorite crispy noodles.

But for some reason, Durant didn't feel bored, but secretly happy.

"That's braised beef, I still have cumin here, and black pepper, do you want it?"

Li Lei: "Yes, then give me two more packs!" ”

Durant moved the backpack in front of him, took out two more packs of crispy noodles, and gave them to Li Lei.

Three packs of crisp noodles are a lot, but in the hands of a giant like Li Lei, it looks very small.

It's like O'Neill and mineral water, and the mineral water bottle is like an oral liquid.

……

During the warm-up training, Li Lei practiced for a while, walked back to the bench, picked up the crispy noodles, crushed them all, and ate them leisurely.

"Boss, what are you eating? Share a little bit with me! ”

Lori saw Li Lei's movements and immediately begged to share.

Then Zhu Fangyu also came.

Then, the Grizzlies all lined up, and they all begged Li Lei for crisp noodles, even the polite Hill was no exception.

It's not that the noodles are delicious, it's just that the Grizzlies are a collective, and everyone is trying to fit in quickly.

Especially the new Hill and Big Baby, even if they don't like to eat, they have to make a show.

The tacit understanding between players is cultivated.

……

And this interesting scene was also captured by reporters.

In charge of the national live broadcast in the United States is TNT, Li Lei's old acquaintances Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and Kenny Smith.

They were talking about Jeff Van Gundy, after all, Van Jr. almost became their colleague in the summer, but unfortunately was cut off by the Grizzlies.

At this moment, Xiao Fan and the players are in a mess, with a "Mediterranean", and they are even sharing crisp noodles with Li Lei.

stepped down as head coach and served as the defensive coach of the Grizzlies, although he was relegated, but Coach Fan Jr. had a great time.

The first is that the pressure is almost gone.

At the Grizzlies, the coaching staff's biggest responsibility is naturally youngster Rick Carlisle.

Coach Xiao Fan only needs to be responsible for the player's defensive system, and he does not need to be directly responsible for winning or losing.

The second is that the Grizzlies have a good vibe.

With a boss like Li Lei as an example, all the players in the team respect Coach Xiaofan very much, and then they don't dare to be lazy in their usual training.

After all, the team bosses are practicing hard, do you dare to paddle?

Finally, there is the attitude of the management.

In Houston, there is a stupid general manager who doesn't know how to play and always likes to make his own decisions and make all kinds of constraints on Coach Xiao Fan.

It's really uncomfortable for a layman to manage an insider.

And with the Grizzlies, general manager Jerry West is a former superstar.

Head coach Rick Carlisle is also a player, not a star, but a member of the championship team, having followed the Green Army to the top in the 1985-1986 season.

To put it simply, the Grizzlies are insiders from top to bottom.

And the age of the old man Jerry is there, with a mind and a bearing. Carlisle, though young, listens to opinions.

They respect Coach Xiao Fan very much, and they will ask for Coach Xiao Fan's opinion on everything, which makes Coach Xiao Fan feel very comfortable.

Coach Jr. sometimes thinks that Memphis seems to be a good choice for the rest of his life.

……

Now, though, the TNT trio has turned their attention back to the court.

Barkley was shocked: "Is the NBA going out of business?" ”

Smith cooperated: "Why do you ask? ”

Ross Barkley: "You have to split a few packets of noodles and you know how poor these players are. ”

Hahahaha!

The crowd laughed at Barkley.

Smith also mocked: "Charles, these newcomers are making more money now than you did back then, and the NBA is good!" ”

Reggie Miller on the side issued a different opinion: "No, no, no! Kenny, Charles, the players are poorer than you think. ”

"How?" Barkley asked.

Reggie Miller: "Because even these packets of crispy noodles were snatched by Stone from Durant's backpack. I witnessed the crime when I came to the pitch. ”

Hahahaha!

The crowd burst into laughter again.

It's a big surprise to ridicule a group of young millionaires, even multimillionaires, and even associate them with the crispy noodles that only children eat.

But that's what fans love to hear the most.

The private lives of the stars are more interesting than their performances on the field.

Barkley asked, "So, Stone and Durant have a good relationship?" ”

Miller Sr. nodded: "That's right, I just chatted with Stone in the home locker room, and he is very optimistic about Durant. Even though Durant's recent play has been mediocre, Stone hasn't changed his mind. Yesterday, Stone also opened a small stove for Durant and taught him a lot of things. ”

Barkley thought for a moment: "So, is it possible for Stone to release water on Durant tonight?" After all, Durant has been in a bad situation lately. ”

Old Miller was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and looked at Barkley playfully: "Charles, think back then, would you release water to me?" Or have I given you water? ”

Barkley shook his head: "Fart, just do it." If you dare to release water to Lao Tzu, you will look down on Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will definitely kill you! ”

Old Miller not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed even more happily: "Coincidentally, Stone is also such a person. He always told me that the stadium is the battlefield and that he would never let the water out! You should know, he never coaxes. ”

Ross Barkley: "That's fine, I'm afraid Stone will let the water out and make tonight's game ugly." ”

"You're thinking too much! That would never happen to Stone. ”

Miller Sr. said.

Soon, the game began.

The SuperSonics continued their previous lineup.

The Grizzlies' lineup hasn't changed either.

Milicic, Gasol, Li Lei, Hill, Lowry.

In the first round, Milicic helped the Grizzlies get the offensive ball.

In the frontcourt, Milicic pulled beyond the three-point line, and Gasol responded to the free-throw line.

Li Lei took advantage of the situation and sank to a low position.

After receiving Gasol's pass, Li Lei directly lowered his center of gravity and sat down to play inside.

Durant's confrontation is still relatively poor, and he is losing one after another.

Li Lei approached the paint area, pushed Durant, and then turned over for a jumper.

Swish!

2:0。
