I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 148 The Late Dressing Room Conflict
In the afternoon of the second day, Li Yang came to the locker room refreshed.

When Li Yang came to the locker room, he found his wardrobe with his No. 13 jersey hanging on it. Li Yang was preparing for training this afternoon.

As a result, as soon as he opened the closet, his mood immediately turned bad, and it was stuffed with popcorn! ! !
Next, Beverly seemed to be in ambush for a long time, and suddenly rushed into the locker room.

Beverly is very grateful for Li Yang's behavior of repaying grievances with kindness at a critical moment yesterday, so he has a good impression of Li Yang!
Looking at the depressed Li Yang, he patted Li Yang's shoulder with a smile: "Yang, how are you? Are you surprised or surprised!!!"

Li Yang's head was instantly covered with black lines. He pointed at Beverly tremblingly, and said indignantly, "Peat! If I knew you were avenging private revenge, I should have blocked you decisively yesterday! I don't care about your life!"

Beverly put his arms around Li Yang's neck and explained: "Yang, don't be angry, every rookie comes here like this, this is equivalent to a special welcome ceremony!!!"

Li Yang nodded helplessly: "Okay, you passed the test!"

Beverly hesitated for a moment, but still suggested to Li Yang: "Yang, maybe you should get a tattoo, so that it will look more domineering and fierce, like my tattoo, it won't make others think you are easy to bully."

"How about I recommend a store to you, and you will be satisfied!!!" Beverly said winkingly.

After finishing speaking, Beverly pointed to the man tattoo "forever" on his shoulder, and said heavily: "I don't know what forever is, I just want to always remember how difficult life is."

Li Yang shook his head: "Patrick, many of my fans are children, especially those in China, so I don't want to set a bad example for them."

Li Yang expressed incomprehension to black players' hobby of getting tattoos, and he didn't catch a cold either.

However, Beverly's words reminded Li Yang that the reason why he suffered so much discussion from foreign media was largely because of his skin color. He looked more like a good boy, and he didn't fit in with the style of the NBA.

He looks like a good boy, both externally and internally.

After a while, other Clippers players walked in in twos and threes one after another.

The others more or less gathered together, sometimes chatting loudly, sometimes laughing loudly, only Alexander walked alone at the end.

Beverly switched smiling faces very skillfully, greeted other people, either high-fiving or dancing. After getting along for a season, Beverly already knew the rules of survival in the Clippers locker room very well.

Li Yang is very interested in the way black people greet, but he only knows how to dance awkwardly. Although he really wants to show off his coquettish dance steps, but he is only a bronze scum, so he can only pretend to be cold, so as not to expose his dancing idiot attribute that he can't dance.

"Hey, rookie, you need to put on a smile when you come to the NBA, don't be so serious." Lu Wei walked over happily and gave Li Yang a high-five!
Li Yang also stretched out his palm cooperatively, responding to the other party's greeting.

Lu Wei was selected by the 05ers with the 2th pick in the second round of 45, but he won the best sixth man again last season. This is the second time he has won such an honor.

He can survive in the NBA where there are so many people, which in itself is inspirational enough and worthy of Li Yang's respect.

Head coach Rivers held a thermos cup filled with goji berries in his hand, and slowly arrived at the court.

Because many new faces came this summer, he also introduced himself formally.

Rivers talked about the next scene, and then talked about the training plan for this month and the arrangements for the preseason.

After he finished speaking, he announced that they were disbanding and asked everyone to warm up first.

The assistant coaches also began to report to Rivers in detail about the work arrangements for the next stage with their notebooks.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Two hours later, Li Yang also clarified the Knicks' internal structure and player status.

Rivers brought two assistant coaches, Casey and Selena, and about a dozen staff members, including the trainer Cassel, directly did various services and records for the Clippers players.

On the player side, Harris and Lu Wei are the two players with the highest status on the team, because these two big shots also have the highest score and their tactical status is higher than that of ordinary players.

Under these two are starting veterans such as Beverly and Gallinari.

After that, there are a group of substitutes and rookies. Although Li Yang has the highest tactical status, his status in the locker room is in the middle and lower reaches.

Because both Alexander and Li Yang are rookies...

But it is also the core of the team's future training, so the status of the locker room is a little bit higher than that of fringe players and water cooler guards.

At the bottom of the list are the water dispenser administrators and training camp contract players who may be laid off at any time. There are also a few of these players in the Clippers lineup. Not surprisingly, only 1 or 2 of them will stay here in the end, and the rest will be laid off before the start of the season.

Therefore, the status of this type of players is also the lowest. They are cautious in what they say and do, and no one dares to offend them. After all, they have conflicts with guaranteed contract players, and they must be cut.

Soon, Li Yang received the tactical manual arranged by Rivers. In terms of the tactical status of multiple tactics, Li Yang's tactical status is very high, and often even ranks first!

These details show how much Rivers attaches importance to Li Yang!
Even though he was valued by the head coach, Li Yang couldn't escape the fate of buying donuts and a backpack on the first day, but luckily it wasn't a kindergarten backpack.

This is an unspoken rule established by the rookie after entering the locker room, even Li Yang is not exempt from it.

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided! !

Those who were stronger than James, Paul, Kobe, etc. also did this kind of thing back then, and Kobe was even a tricky rookie behind him.

Generally speaking, this kind of level is basically harmless jokes, which Li Yang can still accept, but there are some obviously malicious jokes, Li Yang is determined not to compromise.

"Hey, you have two dishes. Go to Starbucks and buy two cups of coffee. Remember, I only drink hot ones." Harris, the team's starting small forward, instructed Li Yang and Alexander who had just put down a pile of backpacks.

"Brother, how far is Starbucks from here?" Li Yang did not directly refuse, but asked Alexander beside him.

"It takes about 40 minutes to drive to the nearest one. If we go now, we will probably be back in two hours!" Alexander reminded Li Yang with a depressed face.

Two hours, so long, if you come back, the training will be over, and the day lily will be cold, isn't this intentionally disgusting!

Harris looked at rookies Alexander and Li Yang with playful eyes, to be precise, at Li Yang, and Alexander just suffered incidentally.

Other players may give Li Yang some face, because Li Yang has already proved his ability in yesterday's team training match. It is no surprise that the No.1 team in the future will be Li Yang, but Harris doesn't care!
He was already very dissatisfied with Li Yang having a more important position than him in tactics, and Harris was even more upset when he saw Li Yang with a pretty face. ! !
Harris, who failed at the top position, felt that he was really unlucky, and he had to teach the No. 13 pick who had just joined the team and grabbed territory an unforgettable lesson.

Everyone else in the locker room looked at each other, in a dilemma. Before the situation became clear, none of them stood up to speak for Li Yang.

Alexander hesitated for a moment, then stood up firmly, wanting to resist, but he was scared back by Harris' fierce expression.

"I can order a takeaway for you." Li Yang said with a step back based on the principle of taking a step back.

"Rookie, the takeaway is too slow. It may be too cold when it arrives. I hope you can buy hot ones for me yourself." Harris said with a smile.

This is a bit obvious to find fault, to deceive others too much, wouldn't it be the same for Li Yang to buy it and then come back.

"What if I say "no"?" Li Yang rebuffed vigorously, bullying me to the door of Lao Tzu's house, I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it anymore.

Li Yang spoke very seriously, and after he finished speaking, he specifically looked at Harris.The atmosphere in the locker room instantly froze to freezing point, as if it was the calm before the storm.
