Chapter 440 Kendrick Big Mouth Perkins
That night, the Hornets boarded the bus leaving the FedEx Center.

Paul didn't isolate Yi Jianlian because of Li Lei, but sighed and said, "Yi, I thought you were such a simple and unpretentious person in China? Why did you come out of Stone..."

Yi Jianlian: "..."

He couldn't answer that question.

You can't tell Paul that Li Lei grew up in the United States and learned from you.

……

After sending off the yellow team, Memphis ushered in the green team again.

Boston Celtics.

Historically, the Celtics formed the Big Three of Pierce, Ray Allen, and Garnett this season, and won the championship that year.

But now, Garnett has gone to Los Angeles, and the Celtics have formed a low-profile version of the Big Three of Pierce, Ray Allen, and Al Jefferson.

Al Jefferson naturally cannot be compared with Garnett.

But he's full of potential as a freshman in fourth grade.

Last season, Jefferson averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game.

This season, with the help of Pierce and Ray Allen, Jefferson has continued to improve, averaging 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game.

Today's Celtics are firmly in the top three in the Eastern Conference.

It was another strong duel that attracted a lot of attention.

The Grizzlies are actively preparing for the game.

However, just before the Celtics came to Memphis, a piece of news suddenly broke out in the media.

The Green Army's starting center, Kendrick Perkins, was interviewed.

The 03th overall rookie in 27 looks extremely strong, and he always regards people as a strong man.

In the face of the interview, he said strongly: "The Green Army is not afraid of any opponent, whether it is the 76ers, the Lakers, the Spurs, or the Grizzlies."

Then, when asked about his preparations for facing Milicic, Perkins said: "He is not a problem. Although he is the second place in my class, it does not scare me, not to mention that he is a parallel importer. , I will definitely defeat him!"

Perkins dissed Milicic, two unknown role players, this kind of thing would not have made the news.

But some reporters like to make troubles, brought this matter to Memphis, and asked Milicic what he thinks.

Milicic was stunned at the time.

He himself is not very good at talking.

What's more, this incident also touched his pain point: parallel imports.

That's right, according to the current performance, Milicic is indeed a parallel importer.

03 The Platinum Generation has produced many outstanding new stars.

The top five picks, except for Milicic, were all played.

There are also Li Lei, Diao, Barbosa, Xiaomo, Korver, Hinrich, Kaman and many other outstanding players.

Judging from the same session, Milicic is indeed water.

The reporter's question is purely to make things difficult for Milicic.

For a while, Milicic got stuck.

But just when the reporter was about to pursue the victory, a figure came over and embraced Milicic.

"Dako won't answer your questions!"

That's right, it's Li Lei.

When the reporter saw Li Lei approaching, he was a little excited and asked, "Why?"

Li Lei hugged Milicic tightly, making Milicic feel at ease.

"There is no reason, because I said it, so Darko will not answer your question."

Li Lei said.

Milicic did not speak, but nodded deeply.

In the entire NBA, Milicic is most convinced by Li Lei.

What Li Lei said is Milicic's truth.

Seeing this, the reporter was not angry, but looked at Li Lei expectantly: "Then can you answer my question?"

Interviewing Li Lei is naturally more important than interviewing Milicic.

Li Lei smiled and motioned for the reporter to ask questions.

Reporter: "Perkins said..."

However, just as the reporter opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Lei.

"and many more!"

The reporter looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Li Lei sneered: "Perkins... what is it? Sorry, I don't know it!"

reporter:"……"

Before the reporter continued to ask questions, Li Lei pulled Milicic back to the locker room.

In the locker room, Milicic smirked at Li Lei.

Li Lei cursed bitterly: "You have a bit of a temper! A guy like Perkins can climb on your head, hey!"

……

"calm down!"

Old Jones sat beside him with a smile on his face.

Old Hill also showed a decent smile: "This season, everyone is very angry."

Hill sat very decently, full of gentlemanly demeanor, and his smile was well-managed, more fake and less cold.

This is where Li Lei sighed.

Being born in an elite family is really not comparable to ordinary people. That kind of temperament is hidden in every expression and every action.

Many NBA stars like to pretend to be elite, wear glasses, wear a suit, and hold a book... But standing next to Hill, they immediately pale in comparison.

There is still a difference between what is pretended and what is in the bones.

For example, some stars behave like gentlemen when the situation is good, and immediately change face when the situation is not good.

And Hill, no matter what the situation, he can't even speak foul words, and he is consistent.

So Li Lei doesn't pretend at all now, just do whatever he wants, so it's more realistic.

You pretend to be good, but in the eyes of discerning people, you will be seen through at a glance, which will only increase the laughing stock.

……

But thinking about what Hill said, Li Lei also thinks it makes sense.

This season has just started, and there have been many conflicts.

He and Garnett that time.

It's not a small fight with Paul.

Now another Perkins came out.

……

And it's not just the Grizzlies, other teams in the league also have a lot of conflicts.

It is said that when the Celtics played against the Sonics, Ray Allen had a verbal fight with Durant.

Pierce and Artest also had conflicts on the court. The cause was that Artest took off Pierce's pants a few years ago.

Then Haywood also turned his face when he confronted O'Neal.

Rasheed Wallace has picked up a lot of T's lately.

……

This season, everyone's temper has been extraordinarily irritable.

And this sentiment has spread from the players to the fans.

There have been several incidents of fans attacking players.

Throwing mineral water bottles, spitting, throwing popcorn... What's more, they shot videos and clamored: XXX, I'm your father!

These things have made the league's top executives feel overwhelmed.

Of course, fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

While conflicts continue to occur, the influence of the NBA is growing, fans are paying more and more attention, and the game's ratings are skyrocketing...

The NBA has started a chaotic world.

Some fans commented: "This is the most chaotic era in the NBA, and it is also the most exciting era in the NBA!"

A crowd of heroes vying for the throne and a hundred schools of thought contending, but that's all!

East: 76ers, Magic, Pistons, Celtics, Cavaliers, Heat.

West: Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Lakers, Grizzlies, Jazz, Nuggets, Warriors...

All are strong teams.

When two pairs meet, it is Mars hitting the earth.

In addition, there are Hornets, Sonics, Trail Blazers, Raptors, Bulls... a large number of young guards, hidden talents visible to the naked eye, want to compete with those old strong teams.

……

The teams fought fiercely, and fans even fell out on social media.

For example, this time, when Perkins provoked Milicic, fans of the Celtics and Grizzlies have exploded.

"What kind of thing is Perkins, qualified to comment on Milicic? Funny?"

"What's wrong with Milicic, one of the worst No. [-] picks in NBA history, why don't people say that he doesn't play well?"

"It's okay if Pierce says it. Perkins is a bird egg? I haven't heard of him. And in comparison, Milicic's statistics in the past two seasons are better than Perkins."

"Statistics can't reflect the true role of a player. Perkins' statistics are average, but his ability to protect the frame is extremely important to the Celtics. Milicic can be replaced by anyone."

"Anyone can replace it? You try it?"

……

Later, the reporter exposed the video of Li Lei defending Milicic.

Li Lei hugged Milicic and said, "Perkins...what is it? Sorry, I don't know it!"

This boosted the morale of the Grizzlies fans.

"Hahaha, as expected of Stone. That is, you are a fart, Perkins, and you don't know you at all."

"I don't know what kind of small role it is, but I ran out to do things, and get traffic from the Grizzlies."

"Go and cool off, it's sad that Stone doesn't know you."

……

Of course, Li Lei's appeal was not something that Perkins could match. Perkins was immediately overwhelmed by the saliva of the Grizzlies fans.

But soon, the boss of the Green Army stood up.

"You don't know him, you should know me. Do you still remember your rookie season being blown up by me?"

Pierce's big mouth is much stronger than Perkins, directly poking Li Lei's pain points.

However, Li Lei was not afraid at all: "You mean, the year you were eliminated by me?"

In the first round of the playoffs in Li Lei's rookie season, his opponent was Pierce's Celtics.

At that time, the Heat fought hard for seven games and killed the Celtics.

When Li Lei asked this question, Pierce was instantly speechless.

After only one round of fighting, Pierce was "killed off the horse" by Li Lei.

And that got the fans excited.

This verbal battle was directly upgraded from two role players to two superstars.

And the fans realized: It turns out that the star fights are no different from the fans.

It's a pity that in just such a round, the two of them stopped talking.

But fans also know that the bridge between Li Lei and Pierce has been settled.

When the game starts, there will be no end to death!

The next night, game day finally came.

During the warm-up time, the two sides were already at war.

On the side of the Green Army, Perkins and Rondo looked at each other fiercely from time to time.

On the Grizzlies side, Milicic was silent, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.Zhu Fangyu rubbed his fists and looked at the other side with frivolous eyes. His "eight punches" were already too hungry and thirsty.

But the strange thing is that the core figures on both sides, Li Lei and Pierce, are warming up meticulously, as if they have never had a verbal argument at all.

This made Barkley anxious.

That's right, TNT's three "cheesy" customers are in charge of the national live broadcast of this game: Barkley, Smith, and Miller Sr.

Barkley scratched his head anxiously: I have taken off my pants, so you just show me this?Hit!Hurry up!
Old Miller and Smith rolled their eyes helplessly, really speechless about this partner.

"Man, this is a basketball game, not an indiscriminate fight!"

Barkley shook his head indifferently: "Just kidding. If there is a real fight, who is better, Pierce or Stone? I think Pierce can win because he has the advantage in tonnage. And his assistant Perkins looks very good. Vicious."

Old Miller was helpless: "What's wrong with the viciousness? Are Kenyon Martin, Bogut, and Garnett vicious? You can ask them."

Reggie Miller is a hard-core lime, whether he is playing or fighting, he is definitely on Li Lei's side.

Smith summed it up: "So, Kobe has never won a fight, McGrady has never lost a fight... Stone will win?!"

Smith adds to this popular saying.

On the other side of the ocean, in the studio of CCTV Sports Channel, a couple of young people, Su Qun and Yu Jia, are responsible for the commentary today.

Su Qun: "This is a sports game. Fighting is not good. You'd better play well. Once you fight, I'm afraid it won't be good for Pierce's body..."

Yu Jia nodded approvingly: "The star Pierce has a big mouth, and he was stabbed 11 times because of this before. I advise him to speak up, otherwise he won't know if he can return to the basketball court next time."

The two young commentators seemed neutral, but they had already stood behind Li Lei.

There is no way, the Chinese will naturally help the Chinese.

At this time, what kind of commentator's professional quality, go to hell!National pride is overwhelming.

What they want to teach the fans now is: "We Chinese don't like to make troubles, but if things come to your door, you are absolutely not afraid, just do it!"

Return to the FedEx Center.

Players on both sides warmed up on their own, only occasionally looking at each other viciously, and there was no more contact.

This temporarily relieved the three referees tonight.

At this moment, who knows who threw a basketball, it jumped far away and rolled to the opposite court.

Lowry ran to pick up the ball.

But before him, two exaggerated big hands hugged the ball.

Rondo!

Rondo held the ball, tilted his head and looked at Lowry with a fierce expression.

Speaking of which, the two are also destined.

Rondo was the 2006st pick in the first round of 21, and Lowry was the 2006th pick in the first round of 24.

The two are in the same class, and the draft is not high, but they both secured the No. [-] position in the starting lineup in the second year, which can be said to be a counterattack.

Because of the same experience and almost the same order, people often compare them, and the two of them will naturally have the intention to compare.

Soon, the Green Army players came over one by one.

Perkins, Jefferson, Pierce, Ray Allen...

Lowry is somewhat guilty of facing so many people alone.

Just when he was about to give up, an arm wrapped around him.

Li Lei!

Subsequently, the Grizzlies players arrived one after another.

Old Jones, Zhu Fangyu, Milicic, Big Baby, Gay, Gasol, Warrick...all came.

Lowry was instantly relieved, and stared at Rondo confidently.

The players on both sides just confronted each other like this, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and there was a tendency to start fighting if there was a disagreement.

The three referees immediately burst into cold sweat.

My God, why did it explode all of a sudden?
In the live studio, Barkley clenched his fists, his fat face flushed with excitement: "Hurry up! Fight..."

Pierce took the ball from Rondo and looked at Li Lei frivolously: "The momentum is quite strong, but I don't know if there is any strength to match it."

Pierce fired first.

Li Lei was not afraid at all: "I also hope that your strength can match your mouth."

Pierce sneered: "Your strength hasn't improved much, but your mouth has hardened."

Li Lei: "My strength is not strong, just enough to eliminate you."

Ha ha!

Pierce slammed the ball on the floor: "Let's see tonight, who can have the last laugh."

Li Lei caught the ball: "I will accompany you to the end."

Subsequently, both sides returned to the half court.

The three referees breathed a sigh of relief again, feeling like they had survived the catastrophe.

Barkley shook his head in disappointment.

Zhu Fangyu followed Li Lei and asked in a low voice, "Stop fighting?"

Li Lei nodded, then shook his head again.

"Talk with the ball!"

Both he and Pierce are not afraid of fighting, but neither are thugs, and they both have their own pride.

On the court, he should hold the ball and talk. This is the consensus he and Pierce have just reached.

Of course, once on the field, many things are out of control.

Basketball is a competitive sport full of fierce confrontation, it is easy to get angry, and no one can guarantee to stay calm all the time.

"But if there is a conflict, don't be afraid. We don't take the initiative to provoke others, but we are definitely not afraid of trouble."

Li Lei added another sentence.

Zhu Fangyu nodded: "Oh! Oh!"

It is worth mentioning that although the fight just now did not start, it ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

In New York, David Stern looked at the ratings report, feeling pain and joy.

The ratings are constantly increasing, but these little guys are getting more and more troublesome one by one!
ps: Thank you for the 138 starting point coins that you can't afford.
