Chapter 148 Stone, welcome home!

But soon, things took an unexpected turn.

When Pat Riley was the first to express his intention to get O'Neal, everyone knew that this Heat team could be dismantled.

Soon, the eyes of the entire league were on the Heat.

Again, the Heat have a lot of high-quality chips!

The Wizards took a fancy to Butler.

The Grizzlies are interested in Jones to increase team experience.

After the Mavericks' application to trade O'Neal was rejected, they still took Dampier as their first choice, and Cato was their backup.

The Knicks and Odom exchanged winks.

One wants to strengthen the striker's strength, and the other has taken a fancy to countless young stars and young models in New York.

There are several bottom teams interested in Wade.

No one expected... Li Lei received the most offers.

The Spurs intend to exchange Li Lei with Bowen or Ginobili as the main body.

The Pacers want Li Lei to replace the aging Reggie Miller.

The Kings hope to exchange Christie for Li Lei.

The Mavericks hope to use Finley as the main body in exchange for Li Lei + Butler.

The Pistons also expressed concern about Li Lei.

Timberwolves star Garnett hopes that Li Lei can come to Minnesota to assist him, for which they are willing to pay all players except Garnett.

Plus the Lakers who want Li Lei by name.

All the favorite teams for the championship want to get Li Lei.

Champion Puzzle!

The fans gave Li Lei a nickname for this.

In addition, James of the Cavaliers also posted on social media, hoping to join forces with Li Lei.

"Me and Stone will be a better combination, we are the same people, we can do a lot."

In the face of these trade messages, the Heat did not come out to clarify.

All of a sudden, Li Lei's whereabouts suddenly became confusing.

……

It was at this time that the Olympic men's basketball team was divided into groups.

Unlike the Olympic Games and the World Championships, there are only 12 teams participating.

Group A: China, United States, Spain, Angola, Lithuania, Australia.

Group B: Germany, Argentina, New Zealand, Serbia and Montenegro, Puerto Rico, Greece.

Group A where the Chinese team is located can be called the group of death.

The United States, the champion of the Americas, Angola, the champion of Africa, Australia, the champion of Oceania, Lithuania, the traditional European team... none of them are easy to mess with.

看起来最好欺负的就是安哥拉，但是中国与安哥拉历史上有过三次交手，96年奥运会、2000年钻石杯、02年世锦赛……中国队1胜2负处于弱势。

It can be said that the Chinese team is the weakest in Group A.

To qualify for the group stage, China has to win at least two games.

So as soon as the group came out, the international basketball circle generally believed that the Chinese team would be eliminated in the group stage, and could win at most one game.

Chinese fans have also been hit hard.

While preparing for the battle, the Chinese team studied their opponents.

Their first opponent in the group stage is the Dream Team!
Because of the poor law and order in Greece, a large number of NBA superstars withdrew from the Dream Six team.

Even so, the US team is still star-studded.

Inside: Duncan, Stoudemire, Boozer, Okafor.

Forward: Anthony, James, Marion, Jefferson, Odom.

Guards: Iverson, Marbury, Wade.

Head Coach: Larry Brown.

Because of the glorious history of the Dream Team, men's basketball teams all over the world are afraid of the United States.

Of course, the Chinese men's basketball team is also included.

Therefore, some experts in China have proposed: just give up the first game and save energy to play well in the following games.

Anyway, the dream team is invincible.

Moreover, as soon as this plan was proposed, it immediately received the support of a large number of experts.

There are even such voices within the national team.

Many people are discussing the feasibility of this scheme.

In the end, the national team officially called everyone to discuss the matter.

The team committee also tends to give up the first game.

During the discussion, Yao Ming remained silent.

The team committee looked at Yao Ming and then at Li Lei, wanting to ask their opinions.

After all, Yao Ming and Li Lei are the strongest in the national team.

Seeing Yao Ming bow his head, the team committee asked Li Lei first.

Li Lei glanced at Yao Ming, Yao Ming raised his head tacitly, the two looked at each other, and there was an answer.

Li Lei said: "If the team has made a decision, then I will follow the order. But if not, then my idea is to fight game by game!"

Someone in the team committee immediately retorted: "If this is the case, the team probably won't win a game! Anyway, they can't beat the US team, so why waste energy?"

Li Lei smiled: "People all over the country are watching us, can we really give up? And this Olympic Games can be played, what about 08? That's at our doorstep!"

The team committee was silent for a while.

But they still haven't made up their minds. The thoughts of the people of the whole country are of course important, but the results are also very important.

At this moment, Yao Ming raised his hand and said, "I agree with Shitou's opinion!"

Seeing that someone from the team committee wanted to refute, Yao Ming said first: "If the team does not enter the quarter-finals, I will not wear a beard for a day!"

Yao Ming directly issued a military order, expressing his determination.

The team committee fell silent.

Li Lei immediately connected: "Add me!"

Wang Zhizhi also said, "Add me!"

Zhu Fangyu stood up: "Let's fight!"

Even the shy Yi Jianlian whispered, "Fight!"

Then, all the players stood up.

Finally, Li Yuanwei, director of the team committee, nodded: "Fight!"

As the head of the men's basketball team, Li Yuanwei is under tremendous pressure.

If the Chinese men's basketball team does not perform well, he is likely to suffer.

But now, despite all the pressure, he has unified the morale of the army.

The Chinese men's basketball team will not give up any battle.

We are fighting for national honor, we can lose, but we cannot be cowardly!
……

Just this evening.

Li Lei's system suddenly responded.

Drip!

"The host triggers explosive training!"

Current panel:

Strength is 78, speed is 70, stamina is 67, reaction speed is 65, explosive power is 41, and balance is 51.

The average is 62.

Skill Proficiency:

Bloody Big Hat (Intermediate 103/1000).

Accurate steals (Intermediate 242/1000).

Brown Sugar Defense (Intermediate 325/1000).

Hundred steps through Yang (intermediate 598/1000).

Rebound sense (junior 68/100).

Throughout the night, Li Lei trained in the strange space in his dream.

After one night, explosive power +3.

On the second day, explosive power +3.

On the third day, explosive power +2.

On the fourth day, explosive power +2.

……

Over a period of several weeks, the training effect gradually diminished.

But Li Lei's explosive power reached 59.

Look at the panel again:
Strength is 78, speed is 70, stamina is 67, reaction speed is 65, explosive power is 59, and balance is 51.

The average is 65.

Although the explosive power of 59 is not high, it is already at the level of a good-level professional player, at least it is not a hindrance.

The national team also gradually discovered that Li Lei's first step was much faster.

Whether it is a breakthrough or running without the ball, Li Lei's ability has risen to a higher level.

Even grabbing rebounds, dunks, and jump shots, Li Lei's speed is faster.

……

At this time, Li Lei's "battle" became more and more clear.

The Lakers rejected all other teams and are only negotiating with the Heat to trade O'Neal.

So everyone knows that, regardless of the lively competition between the teams, Li Lei's next home will basically be the Lakers.

Because the Lakers called Li Lei by name from the very beginning, and they never let go.

The reason why the negotiation has not been completed is that the two teams are discussing some details of the transaction.

Even the official website of the Lakers has posted: Stone, welcome home!

Li Lei went to the United States at the age of seven and has always lived in Los Angeles. Los Angeles can basically be said to be Li Lei's second hometown.

There is nothing wrong with the Lakers saying so.

Impressing players with emotion, the Lakers' trick is brilliant!
