Even Li Lei's evaluation of Durant has improved a lot.

The ball just now was an imitation of Maddie's self-throwing and self-dunking.

Although Durant is a fried cold rice, it is not easy to make it in a fierce game.

After all, there is an old Chinese saying: if he is a black cat or a white cat, he is a good cat if he can catch a mouse.

It doesn't matter how he attacks, it's good to score.

Durant scored this goal and looked at Li Lei expectantly, hoping to be recognized by Li Lei.

But Li Lei just popped out of his mouth with one word: bells and whistles!

Grizzlies offense.

Li Lei continued to run without the ball, relied on the cover of his teammates to get rid of Durant, and shot when he received the ball, and the rhythm was particularly well controlled, without the slightest setback.

Swish!

6：4。

On the other hand, Durant, when he received the ball in the next round, he didn't hold it steady for the first time, and when he adjusted, Li Lei had already pounced.

Durant reluctantly shot and popped out of the frame.

Bang dang!

Durant's scoring was finally broken.

Off-the-ball tactics aren't just a matter for the scorer himself.

It also requires the cooperation of the passer, as well as various covers from other teammates.

Li Lei has played with Gasol, Milicic, Lowry and others for a season, and they have long had a tacit understanding with thousands of passes between each other.

And Durant has only played a few games, how much can he work with his new teammates?

After scoring two goals in a row in the opening game, Durant's hand felt cold again, and several tactics failed to work.

Instead, Li Lei showed a strong attacking power, and then used his offensive ability to contain his opponent and create opportunities for his teammates.

The Grizzlies gradually widened the difference.

End of full-time, 2:99.

The Grizzlies beat the SuperSonics by a big margin.

Li Lei scored a game-high 3 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and blocks.

And the efficiency was quite high, shooting 3-of-2 from the field, including 9-of-5 from two-point range, 4-of-6 from three-point range, and free throws.

Rookie Durant can not put much defensive pressure on Li Lei.

Especially in the second half, Durant's physical exertion was huge, and there was almost no threat to Li Lei.

Durant's efficiency is definitely not as good as Li Lei's, shooting 5 of 5 from the field, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 7 of free throws, and getting 9 points, 5 rebounds, assists and blocks.

But compared to the previous week's performance, Durant has improved dramatically.

After the game, there are some fans who "watch the game and pay electricity", no! It should be the fans who don't have a TV at home who have spoken out.

"Hehe, Stone's water is wider than the sea."

"Of course, Stone said before that Durant has a historical-level talent, and if Durat is constantly beaten, his face will be dull, so he can only release water to maintain his dignity."

"But it's useless, and in the next game, Durant will definitely be exposed to the rest of the game."

"Okay, then I'll wait to see the jokes about Durant and Stone."

……

Regardless of Durant, the Grizzlies have had a very easy start to the season, with no strong opponents other than the Spurs.

Even the Spurs were easily defeated by the Grizzlies because they were out of ten after playing three overtimes with the 76ers.

And just like that, the Grizzlies started the game 7-0.

That's when the Grizzlies had a tough road schedule.

The first opponent is the Magic team that has been frantically reinforcing in the summer.

The Magic have also had a strong start to the season, sweeping everything and finishing with a 7-0 record.

The collision of the two strong teams has also attracted countless attention.

It was half past seven in the evening that day.

Amway Arena.

The Grizzlies play first as the visiting team.

Centre-forward: Milicic.

Power forward: Gasol.

Small forward: Li Lei.

Shooting guard: Hill.

Defender: Lowry.

When Hill came out, the entire Amway Arena erupted in boos.

Grant Hill is definitely the star that Orlando fans hate the most.

He delayed the Magic team for six years, and caused Maddie and the Magic team so badly.

Hill walked onto the pitch, and no matter how much the fans booed him, he always kept a humble and polite smile.

But if you look closely, there is bitterness in Ciel's smile.

Those six years were a pain for Maddie and the Magic, but it wasn't Hill's injury.

Before his injury, Hill was Jordan's successor, All-Star vote king, superstar, and the league's most popular star.

But now?

Even a contract with a veteran's base salary, no team is willing to give him.

Hush!

The boos from the Orlando fans continued, and they just hated Hill so much.

Half a minute.

One minute.

Two minutes.

……

Hill was born in a wealthy family, received an elite education since he was a child, and his cultivation was excellent, but at this moment he could barely keep his smile on his face, and his face was about to collapse.

At this moment, a tall figure stood in front of Ciel.

No. 5, the team soul of the Grizzlies, Li Lei, nicknamed "Stone Wall".

“eate！”

Li Lei faced the Orlando fans, hammered his chest hard, and roared loudly.

"Come at me!"

"If you have the ability, you can fucking come at me!"

The Orlando fans at the scene were stunned for a moment, but then erupted into even more terrifying boos.

"Bold, you actually took the initiative to find death, see if we don't boo you to death!"

However, in the face of more than 20,000 boos, Li Lei not only did not feel uncomfortable, but smiled.

As long as I don't feel bad, it's you who are uncomfortable!

The next moment, Milicic, the most taciturn of the Grizzlies, stepped up, and he stood beside Li Lei to protect Hill.

And then there's Zhu Fangyu!

Lowry!

Guy!

Gasol!

Old Jones!

Varik!

Glenn Davis!

Tyronn Lue!

……

They formed a circle and surrounded Ciel.

Although there are only 4 of them, they will not retreat in the face of more than 20,000 Orlando fans!

They even smiled.

“eate！”

"Come at me!"

"If you have the ability, you can come at me!"

……

The Grizzlies said in unison.

On the other side of the court, the Magic players were touched.

Team boss Tracy McGrady stepped up and pressed his hand down to signal the fans to stop booing Hill.

"Warcraft" Howard, Second Uncle Huo, Tekoglu, Nelson and other old teammates of Hill also stood up to help and persuaded their fans to calm down.

Thanks to the joint efforts of both parties, the boos of the Orlando fans gradually became smaller and quieter until they disappeared.

The 4 Grizzly Bears collectively protect Ciel.

Four Grizzlies defeated more than 20,000 fans in attendance.

"Oh oh oh!"

They cheered in victory, happier than winning a hundred games.

On the sidelines of the court, Rick Carlisle and Jeff Van Gundy glanced at each other, their eyes full of relief.

This move will not only allow Hill to quickly integrate into the team, but also make other players more present and love the collective.

For example, "Big Baby" Glenn Davis, after this incident, will he not like this team?

No! He already loves the Grizzlies to death, and he's proud to be a Grizzlie.

Because he knows that when he himself is in trouble, there will also be 4 men who will stand up and help him from the wind and rain.

When the Orlando fans collectively quieted down, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy came over and hugged Li Lei.

Many people may forget that Li Lei's rookie season was played under Coach Dafan.

Coach Dafan is very emotional, the young second-round show back then has now become a hot superstar in the league.

He not only has the strength of a superstar, but also has the responsibility and mind of a superstar.

Thinking of this, Coach Dafan was pleased.
