Chapter 420
But this didn't affect Li Lei at all.

In the first few years of joining the league, Li Lei was scolded much worse than this.

I still remember the rookie season, when Kenyon Martin, Kidd, and Jefferson formed a team to criticize Li Lei because of the All-Star incident.

Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen also brought rhythm to the fans.

At that time, Li Lei survived.

Now this matter is not even a tickle.

The real pain is Durant.

After all, Durant is a rookie, and he is more sensitive psychologically.

Otherwise, he wouldn't create a bunch of trumpets to fight with the fans.

Encountering such a situation, Durant is very sad.

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

But it doesn't help.

The fans should scold or scold.

Under such circumstances, the Grizzlies and the Sonics ushered in the second collision of the season.

This time, the game was played in Memphis.

The Sonics team arrived in Memphis a day early and used the FedEx Center's auxiliary hall for training.

Training for the day is over.

Durant did not leave, but practiced silently.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared in front of Durant.

Li Lei!

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

Li Lei smiled helplessly: "Kevin, you saw me, stop pretending!"

Durant couldn't pretend he didn't see it now, and said with a cold face: "Why are you here? Don't disturb my training!"

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

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

But before he could go far, he was pulled back by Li Lei.

"What the hell do you want?"

Durant asked angrily.

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

Durant didn't want to agree.

But Li Lei didn't ask for his opinion at all, he just informed him, and then started training on his own.

"When running without the ball, you must flexibly use reverse running, crossing, sudden stop and quick start... let the opponent never know what you want to do."

"You must be decisive when catching and shooting the ball. Rhythm is very important."

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

……

While practicing, Li Lei also brought his own commentary.

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

Whoever asked Li Lei to practice is what Durant needs most.

Unknowingly, Durant leaned over, imitating Li Lei's movements, and occasionally asking questions.

Li Lei also knew everything and said everything.

Before I knew it, two hours passed.

"It's getting late, I should go back!"

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

Durant still has more to say.

But he put on 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'm teaching you this, I just hope you don't continue to be in a slump and cause me to be scolded for being bad. Michael called me a few days ago, and this guy laughed at me for being worse than him. Come on, he chose Kwame Brown, are you worse than Kwame?"

Durant was in a hurry: "How could I be worse than Kwame Brown!"

Li Lei didn't take it seriously: "Then you just keep working hard and don't embarrass me."

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

The next night.

When Durant showed up at the FedEx Center, he put on his schoolbag again.

When entering the arena, the Sonics just encountered the Grizzlies team.

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

"Kevin, what good things did you bring?"

Durant: "I brought..."

Li Lei didn't wait for Durant to finish his answer, so he opened Durant's backpack and took out a bag of crispy noodles.

"Give this to me! Today's training is a bit heavy, and I'm hungry again. Just eat a little before the game."

Durant: "..."

Regardless of his feelings, Li Lei went through his backpack and took away his favorite crispy noodles.

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

"It tastes like braised beef. I also have cumin and black pepper. Do you want it?"

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

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

Three packs of crispy noodles are quite a lot, but in the hands of a giant like Li Lei, they look very small.

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

……

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

"Boss, what do you want to eat? Share some with me!"

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

Then Zhu Fangyu also came.

Then, all the Grizzlies lined up to beg Li Lei for crispy noodles, even the polite Hill was no exception.

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

Especially the newcomers Hill and Big Baby, even if they don't like to eat, they still have to put on a show.

The tacit understanding between players depends on cultivation.

……

And this interesting scene was also captured by reporters.

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

They were talking about Jeff Van Gundy. After all, Fan Xia almost became their colleague in the summer, but it was a pity that he was cut off by the Grizzlies.

At this moment, Xiao Fan and the players got into a mess, with a "Mediterranean" in their faces, and even shared crispy noodles with Li Lei.

Resigned from the position of head coach and served as the defensive coach of the Grizzlies. Although he was relegated, coach Xiao Fan was very happy.

The first is that the stress is almost gone.

In the Grizzlies, the most responsible coaching staff is naturally young Rick Carlisle.

Coach Xiao Fan only needs to be in charge of the players' defensive system, and he doesn't need to be directly responsible for the outcome.

The second is that the atmosphere of the Grizzlies is very good.

With a boss like Li Lei as an example, all the players on the team respect Coach Xiao Fan, and they dare not be lazy in the usual training.

After all, the boss of the team is training hard, do you dare to paddle?
Finally, the attitude of the management.

In Houston, there was an idiot general manager who didn't know much about football.

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

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

Head coach Rick Carlisle is also a player. Although he is not a star, he is also a member of the championship team. He once followed the Celtics in the 1985-1986 season to the top.

Simply put, the Grizzlies are insiders from top to bottom.

And Mr. Jerry's age is there, he has a heart and a bearing.Although Carlisle was young, he was also open to opinions.

They respect Coach Xiaofan very much, and they will ask Coach Xiaofan for advice on everything, which makes Coach Xiaofan feel very comfortable.

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

……

Now, though, TNT's golden trio has turned its attention to the court.

Barkley said surprisingly: "Is the NBA going to close down?"

Smith cooperated: "Why do you ask that?"

Barkley: "Even if you have to share a few packets of crispy noodles, you will know how poor these players are."

Hahahaha!

Everyone was amused by Barkley.

Smith also mocked: "Charles, these rookies now earn more than you did back then, the NBA is good!"

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

"How?" Barkley asked.

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

Hahahaha!

The crowd laughed again.

To make fun of a group of young millionaires, even multi-millionaires, and even associate them with crispy noodles eaten by children is really eye-popping.

But those are the things fans love to hear the most.

The private lives of stars attract more attention than their performance on the court.

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

Old Miller nodded: "Yes, I just chatted with Stone in the locker room of the home team. He is very optimistic about Durant. Even though Durant's recent performance is average, Stone has not changed his opinion. Yesterday, Stone returned Durant took it easy and taught him a lot."

Barkley thought for a while: "So, is it possible for Stone to release water to Durant tonight? After all, Durant's recent situation is very bad."

Old Miller was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and looked at Barkley jokingly: "Charles, back then, would you have released water for me? Or did I have released water for you?"

Buckley shook his head: "Fart, just do it. If you dare to let me down, you will look down on me, and I will definitely fuck you to death!"

Old Miller was not only not angry, but smiled even more happily: "Coincidentally, Stone is also such a person. He always told me that the stadium is the battlefield, and he will never release water! You should know, he can Never cowardly."

Barkley: "That's good, I'm afraid that Stone will release water and make tonight's game ugly."

"You really think too much! This kind of thing will never happen to Stone."

Old Miller said.

Soon, the game begins.

The Sonics continued their previous lineup.

The Grizzlies' roster 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 from the free throw line.

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

After receiving the pass from Gasol, Li Lei directly lowered his center of gravity and sat down to hit it.

Durant's confrontation is still relatively poor, and he is losing ground.

Li Lei approached the paint, bumped Durant, and took a turnaround jumper.

Swish!
2: 0.
