I just play ball

Chapter 385 Slap in the face on the spot
On the evening of the 28st, Staples Center.

The awarding ceremony of the championship ring is about to be held. Li Yue sits on the technical platform with half of his buttocks pouted. While waving and interacting with the enthusiastic audience, he chats with the TNT quartet who came to explain. The first topic is the ring. .

"Why did you specifically ask yourself not to write 'World Championship' on the ring, but to write 'NBA Championship'?" Ernie Johnson shrugged, "Do you think the Lakers last season were not the best team in the world?" "

Li Yue laughed lightly, "This is actually an imitation of Ginobili. The Spurs' 05 championship ring also says 'NBA champion' instead of 'world champion'. It is mainly to respect basketball players all over the world. There is no need to be so high-profile."

"You have lost eight games in a row in the preseason, now tell me honestly, how is your state recently?" O'Neal said a little impatiently, "I don't want to see you lose to a team like the Rockets in the opening game..."

"Wow... Watch your words." Kenny rushed to say, "The Rockets' starting lineup is currently the strongest. How to say it as if losing to the Rockets is embarrassing. Besides, you are not wearing a jersey to play on it. What are you pretending to be?"

"Except for Nick Young who needs to continue to recover from his injuries, everyone else is ready to play." Li Yue said with a smile, "Don't worry, you will be able to sleep well tonight. Big data can only be summarized after the fact, and nothing can be decided .”

The voice fell, the whistle sounded, and the lights around the arena dimmed. Li Yue waved away and went straight to stand behind the bench.

The 14-15 season championship ring presentation ceremony began. As the announcer shouted and introduced, bright lights appeared in the center of the court, and they gathered on NBA president Adam Silver and Jim Buss, with the championship trophy next to them.

"Congratulations to the Bass family, and your partners, Kupchak team, D'Antoni coaching staff..."

A lengthy and official speech ended in a blink of an eye. Xiao Hua picked up a ring, and Bass bumped into it and hugged it. He took it and put it on the ring finger of his left hand. He held it up high and showed it to the audience. All the audience stood up Applause and cheers.

Silver turned and left, the announcer announced that head coach D'Antoni stepped forward to accept the award, followed by general manager Kupchak, assistant coach Walton, assistant coach Madsen, assistant general manager Glenn Carraro, chief physical trainer Gary Vitti …

After the management team and the coaching staff finished receiving the news, the announcer called out Li Yue's name loudly, and the cheers suddenly resounded throughout the arena. Many fans spontaneously shouted 'MVP', and the Staples Center became the scene of a pilgrimage ceremony.

Li Yue took the ring and put it on, one in each of his left and right hands, holding it up high and displaying it around.

Kobe and others followed closely, and the awards ceremony ended quickly. Li Yue walked to the middle circle and spoke as a representative of the team.

"Good evening, everybody!"

"Thank you for coming to witness together, our efforts in the past year have achieved the best return."

"You are the best fans in the entire NBA. As a reward for you, I promise that this time next year, this scene will be staged again. I will stand here and tell the world again that you are the best fans!"

Cheers resounded throughout the audience, and the announcer loudly announced that the flag-raising ceremony was about to be held. Everyone looked at the top of the north side of the stadium. Accompanied by the passionate and magnificent music, the 14 championship flag slowly revealed its true face, complementing the other 17 flags. .

The long whistle sounded and then played, the announcer announced that the game would start in 3 minutes, and the lights on the scene were brightly lit.

Li Yue walked towards the bench, when he suddenly heard someone shouting 'Xiao Li', and it was pronounced in standard Chinese.

Turning around, it turned out that Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, was smiling and extending his right hand.

Li Yue raised his hand and shook it lightly, while Jack held on tightly, and said earnestly: "Xiao Li, come to be our overseas spokesperson, you can set the conditions as you like, I especially like young people with ideas like you, the country is proud .”

"You still like to watch basketball games?" Li Yue was slightly surprised, "Evergrande will play Luneng this week, why don't you go?"

"Basketball and football are both balls. I support them all!" Jack Ma patted Li Yue's palm lightly. "That's the deal. Your father-in-law and I are also friends. Let's have dinner and talk together when we have time."

"Okay." Li Yue was in a hurry to prepare and couldn't say too much, so he nodded and went straight to the bench, and then he reacted and said, it's hard to refuse later, what a chicken thief.

D'Antoni simply repeated the points mentioned in the video meeting, and the whole team stood in a circle, raised their hands together, and counted down to 321 in unison.

Li Yue led the team on stage. The starting teammates were point guard Marshall, shooting guard Kobe, power forward Landry, center Gasol, and the Rockets starting lineup was point guard Beverly, shooting guard Harden, small forward Ariza, big Former Anthony, center Howard.

The referee Drake came to the middle circle with the ball, gestured left and right, and threw the ball upward with both hands.

Snapped!Gasol jumped up, touched the ball first and moved it back. Landry caught it and turned around and handed it to Marshall.

The Lakers took the lead, and the audience chanted LETSGOLA in unison. Marshall led across the center line, slowed down and patted and waited.

Li Yue lifted it from the right elbow area, erected a human wall to block Harden, and Kobe took the opportunity to accelerate and rush in.

Harden took root in place and showed no signs of catching up. Ariza quickly switched defenses and intercepted.

Li Yue immediately reached out to catch the ball. Seeing that the left half was empty, he subconsciously threw the ball to the free throw line.

Gasol received the ball with his left elbow, turned around immediately and divided the left waist, and then ran to the right.

The left half was almost empty. Landry caught the ball and faced Anthony.

The basketball trajectory is perfect, [-]% is a hollow goal, Li Yue raised his hands in advance to celebrate his first score in the new season, but he never expected that Howard jumped high and caught the ball in his hands.

"Oh, fuck it, interfere with the ball!" Li Yue yelled, seeing that the referee didn't respond, he turned around and retreated.

Harden caught the ball and rushed all the way to the right elbow of the frontcourt. Facing the interception of the three Lakers, Harden made an emergency stop and sent the ball out.

Ariza caught the ball and raised his hand, Li Yue hurriedly withdrew his defense, Harden went around the sideline to catch the ball again.

Howard, who came late, held Gasol with his back at the waist, caught the ball with one hand and hit it hard, turned forward against the boos of the audience, and jumped into the paint with two small steps, ignoring Kobe's contraction Interference, forcefully kick off the ground, and throw the basket facing the basket.

when!The basketball hit the basket and rebounded and was caught. The Rockets scored two points first, and everyone on the bench gave a standing ovation.

Landry picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds. Marshall was about to catch the ball when the Rockets suddenly put up a full-court press.

Seeing this, Li Yue sighed in his heart: This is so menacing, he is determined to fuck us.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran back to the three-point line in the backcourt, received the pass and moved forward, and in a blink of an eye he came to the left wing of the frontcourt.

Gasol has already locked the position on the left waist, he took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball in, and then ran to the right to open up space.

I saw Gasol shaking his shoulders left and right and swaying twice, then bent his knees and hit hard, but only once turned back with his strength, slipped away from Howard and slipped to the basket, kicked off the ground with a roar, and pulled the bar with his backhand for a layup.

The momentum is very strong, but it is a pity that the whole person suddenly lost his balance in the air, and the movement of pulling the rod was also deformed.

boom!The basketball hit the board and fell, Howard picked it up and made a long pass to the frontcourt.

"Pushing foul!" Li Yue yelled at the referee, but still failed to get a response.

On the other side, Harden caught the ball quickly, rushed to the paint in the blink of an eye, resisted Kobe's interference, and forcibly raised his hand to collide.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, called Kobe for a foul, and gave Harden 2 free throws.

There was a lot of booing in the arena, and Li Yue laughed at it, thinking that this is going to work?
Xiao Hua was sitting in the auditorium, did he have to slap his face on the spot?
