Chapter 201 The New Season
In the early morning of the 16th, the entire Lakers team arrived in the capital.

The whole team woke up and had lunch. Since there was no joint practice and no other itinerary, they went to visit the Great Wall together.

Li Yue did not accompany him. After greeting the person in charge, he accompanied Chen Xi to a courtyard house for afternoon tea.

The person in charge of the reception is a young man with a deep temperament. According to Chenxi, the courtyard house is worth more than [-] million yuan. The old man has a strong background in the imperial capital. This time he was invited to attend through their family relationship. On the surface, he was chasing stars to join in the fun. Pave the way for recruiting him in the future. After all, he may become the leader of the men's basketball team in the future, and he is deeply loved by the masses.

In the evening, the two stayed for the family banquet, and the owner of the courtyard house also came back to attend.

Li Yue chatted briefly with him, did not involve any in-depth topics, just exchanged business cards, but the title was not very impressive, Chen Xi explained that it was a confidential department, which was responsible for handling major matters.

...

On the morning of the 17th, Li Yue led his team to the men's basketball training base, and accompanied Yao Ming to visit.

When it was over, he sincerely put forward many suggestions, from training equipment to methods, etc., and the accompanying leaders firmly accepted them.

As for whether to change it or not, I don't know.

In the afternoon, the entire Lakers team entered the Wukesong Arena to interact with the fans first, and then began training.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the second China game between the Lakers and the Warriors officially kicked off. There were more spectators than Magic City. Coupled with the unique cultural environment, there were more than [-] celebrities, big and small, attending the game.

Li Yue did not save his energy and still output with all his strength, but Curry only played for about 50 minutes. The Warriors sent players from the third team right after the fourth quarter. Victory over the Warriors.

The various second and third generations who lined up for a group photo after the game almost circled the stadium, but no one lost their temper.

Due to financial and scheduling considerations, after the game, the Lakers set off to return to the United States immediately as planned.

Thousands of fans attended the farewell, Yao Ming even came in person, and there were some third-tier stars to show interest, but no matter what the purpose was, Li Yue treated them with the same courtesy and bid farewell to everyone with tears, which caused a lot of crying.

...

At 18 pm on the 4th, the entire Lakers team landed at Los Angeles International Airport. Li Yue took a lot of seasonings and condiments packed from China, took the car of agent assistant Taylor, and went straight back to the Ramona community apartment.

He took a shower, changed his clothes and rested for less than half an hour when his second uncle rushed over from Irvine. The two chatted for a while about the situation in their hometown. The second uncle helped to make dinner, brought a few packets of seasonings and condiments, and drove back overnight.

After a good night's sleep, the exhaustion caused by the game and the long-distance flight completely disappeared.

Li Yue went downstairs for a morning run, and received a call from Taylor at [-] o'clock, informing Ai Lunxiu to send out another recording invitation. Considering that his physical condition was not suitable for training, he agreed without hesitation, and the time was set at [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

It was exactly eight o'clock when I returned to my room after my morning run. I turned on the TV on time to listen to the news, and then tied up my apron for breakfast.

"Hi everyone, I'm Jimmy. You are watching the NBA Morning Connection. We have invited Jaylen Rose and Kevin Pelton as guests this time. What do you think of the two seasons between the Lakers and Warriors in China?" Pre-match?"

"Hi, I'm Jaylen. To be honest, I didn't pay attention to those two games, because they had too many performance elements, and they can only be regarded as chatting up when going to the bathroom after drinking coffee. It is worthless to study and discuss seriously."

"Hi, I'm Kevin. It seems that Jay did not pay attention. I think it can be seen from those two games that Li Yue will definitely be the top three players in the MVP next season. The key lies in how he gets the favor of the media."

"Oh? What happened?" There was strong curiosity in Jaylen Rose's voice.

"In the first game, Li Yue scored 63 points under the high-pressure defense of the Warriors, and finally completed the lore." Jimmy said.

"That's really good..." Jaylen Rose's tone was obviously hesitant, and then he said hurriedly and happily, "But the Warriors' defense ranks at the bottom of the league, and the reference value is very small, so I don't think Kevin's inference can be established."

Snapped!Li Yue switched channels to listen to the latest hot single, Jaylen Rose's talk was too annoying.

But what Kevin said was a reminder that if he wants to win the regular season MVP, he must win the favor of the media.

After all, the votes are in the hands of the media, and the personal performance of the new season, it is difficult to surpass Durant by too many points, and it is difficult to surpass LeBron in terms of overall performance. As a foreigner, I have been prejudiced, so I must think twice .

After finishing the breakfast, I called Taylor immediately after eating and playing, and asked the brokerage company to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yue came to the Hollywood Walk of Fame as scheduled to participate in the live recording of the Allen Show. Considering the need to gain favor, he took the initiative to talk about many topics that the audience was interested in, but he did not lie or spread rumors.

Unexpectedly, when I returned home after recording the show, I saw many people commenting that I was too fake as soon as I logged on to Twitter.

[He said so much, and his personality is very different from before. I think this is purposeful. 】

[It’s nothing more than trying to win the MVP and take the Nike bonus to develop the Chinese basketball career. 】

[Why only donate to China, he also earns a lot of money from us, without our attention, how can he sign such a big contract? 】

After a general overview, Li Yue was inspired and decided to strike while the iron was hot, donating 200 million US dollars for public welfare. The project was naturally related to basketball, and the location was set in the Irvine community, because there were more Chinese residents and international students there.

When he had an idea, he immediately called Taylor and gave a brief explanation. The five-member team prepared by the brokerage company immediately held a discussion meeting. An hour later, it was unanimously approved, and the specific plan was made overnight.

...

After resting for three consecutive days, the Lakers headed to Las Vegas for a preseason game against the Kings.

In the free market in the summer, the Kings signed Li Yue's No. 7 pick in the same year, Derek Williams, and the No. [-] pick in the first round - McLemore, plus the new head coach Mike Malone and Cousins ​​​​who have already shown their talents. It can be said to be full of talent.

Before the game, Mike Malone was interviewed and thought that Derek Williams could limit Li Yue on the defensive end through his weight, but when the game started, the audience found that Li Yue seemed to be as strong as Derek, and the offensive end scored as he wanted.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Kings 114 to 82, and Li Yue even scored 38 points and 16 assists.

The key is only 26 minutes, and the fourth quarter did not last a second, the efficiency is outrageously high.

After the game, the discussion with the key word #实质李越无头脱# became a hot topic in just half an hour, and there were tens of thousands of related discussions. Octagon took the opportunity to announce that Li Yue will donate 200 million US dollars for For the construction of the Irvine community basketball cause, no special fund has been set up, and together with people from all walks of life, they will contribute to the California basketball cause.

After the news was released, it became a hot topic again. Many active NBA players and retired celebrities forwarded it to express their praise. Major sports rushed to report, and the limelight was equal to the news that Taylor Swift released the latest single.

The Las Vegas casino immediately updated the MVP odds, betting Li Yue became 1 with 200, only higher than LeBron 1 with 100 and Durant 1 with 50, far lower than other players such as Chris Paul, it is the first time to enter possible range.

In this way, the media and fans began to discuss the possibility of him getting an MPV on a large scale. The Lakers also officially ushered in the 2013-2014 season in the preseason winning streak one after another.
