I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 152. 151. Chinese Derby

Back in Chicago, the Bulls' next opponent is the New Jersey Nets.

After the Nets' special plane landed, Yi Jianlian pushed the luggage cart and followed his teammates out of the airport.

"Yi, why didn't your Chinese brother come to pick you up?" Big Lopez joked.

Remember when Lopez's Stanford University Crimson team was eliminated by the Memphis Tigers, Chen Long was still the mascot, so everyone in Da Luobi felt how amazing Chen Long's growth rate was.

"Because he doesn't want to trouble me."

"Trouble?" Da Luo was a little surprised.

"If I leave the team and go with him, someone will be unhappy." Ah Lian is a very straightforward boy, Da Luo told the truth when he asked, and never thought that it would make anyone unhappy.

Nets coach Lawrence Frank frowned. Does that imply that I'm not open-minded?

However, if Chen Long appears at the airport, Lawrence will indeed feel uncomfortable, because it will affect the morale of the evening game.

Chen Long asked Ah Lian to stay at the hotel, and the two met at the hotel.

When the Nets team bus stopped at the main entrance of the hotel, everyone got out of the bus and found that there were especially many reporters squatting in the hotel today.

'Demigod' Vince Carter was a little excited, put on his sunglasses, straightened his fancy cardigan, and walked past the camera with his head raised.

"It's strange, I'm here, why didn't these reporters respond?" Carter only heard the sporadic shutter sound, obviously he was not the focus of attention.

Is there anyone in the Nets more famous than me?
Vince Carter turned his head to look at the Nets generals who then walked into the hotel, and found that none of them could attract the attention of the media.

"Tch, what are these people doing?" Carter was a little confused.

Then, Ah Lian walked into the lobby of the hotel quickly, and said with a smile, "Aaron, brother!"

Hearing this, Carter immediately shook his head helplessly, thinking that the reporter came with Chen Long...

"A Lian, long time no see, brother, you have grown a lot stronger!" Chen Long chiseled Yi Jianlian's chest muscles hard and found that they had indeed become thicker.

Since winning the Olympic silver medal, Yi Jianlian has followed Chen Long's suggestion to build muscles and strengthen his own strength.

Now Yi Jianlian has entered the Dakongyi 1.0 period.

Before, when the Bulls played the Lakers, Dasheng didn't get playing time, so this time against the Nets was Chen Long's first derby match.

On one side is Chen Long, the Chinese dragon who led the team to win the opening 22 consecutive victories and is preparing to compete with Kobe for the No.1 title in the league.

On one side is Yi Jianlian, who is trying to keep his starting position and is indeed improving.

The attention of the media on this game fell above the Chinese Derby, but not so many people were looking forward to the duel between Chen Long and Carter.

Chen Long and Vince Carter hugged and greeted each other. The two exchanged casual greetings and did not speak harshly to each other because of the night's game.

After all, Carter has been a star for so many years, and he has already passed the age of thorns. As for Chen Long, he will not make enemies casually.

Da Luo glanced at Chen Long, didn't hug him, just bumped his fist symbolically, and then hurried away with his bag on his back.

It's not that Da Luo has a problem with Chen Long, but that he likes Ross better.

The coach of the Nets was already very upset when he saw these reporters, and he couldn't hold back when he saw Chen Long's face.

Lawrence said in a cold tone, "Yi, do you want to chat with him or go up and have a tactical meeting with us?"

"Walter? Didn't we already talk about tactics on the special plane?" Vince Carter showed a black question mark face. He thought that he would have a good rest for half a day when he returned to the hotel, and listen to music to relax...

The rest of the Nets also wondered if the head coach had a brain twitch.

Chen Long patted Ah Lian on the shoulder and teased deliberately in English, "Send me your tactical information later, I will return, see you in the arena this afternoon!"

Lawrence Frank's face darkened.

Carter burst out laughing, thinking that Chen Long is really bad.

Ah Lian also laughed, then beckoned and watched Chen Long walk out of the hotel.

Click, click, click, the shutter rang as if he didn't want money, and a dozen reporters huffed and surrounded Chen Long. If the hotel security didn't chase him away, these people would have eaten Chen Long alive.

Ah Lian doesn't envy this kind of life, but he feels that he wants to stand firm like Aaron and Dayao, even though the people and atmosphere here are a bit weird.

The parking officer drove Chen Long's car over with difficulty, and Chen Long drove away. He didn't answer any questions. It wasn't because he had a bad temper, but that there was no need to deal with reporters who put wheat in people's noses.

In the elevator, Lawrence Frank said angrily, "Yi, you will really send our tactics to Chen Long. Doing so is against professionalism!"

"Coach, are you serious?"

Vince Carter answered this question for Yi Jianlian, because anyone with a brain can tell that Aaron is joking!

Ah Lian also shook his head with a smile, "Aaron likes to joke very much, Coach Lawrence, please don't mind."

Lawrence snorted coldly, and then said quietly, "The tactical meeting is cancelled, and we will fight according to the original tactics at night."

Carter, Da Luo and the others collectively rolled their eyes at Lawrence.

Only Ah Lian stood aside and did nothing.

Through the metal reflection of the elevator, Lawrence saw the contemptuous expressions of the players, and turned his head instantly, but everyone reacted quickly, and immediately closed their eyes and regained their composure.

"Everyone, go back and rest, and don't play with your mobile phone if you have nothing to do!"

Lawrence is the kind of nanny-level head coach, and the implication of his words is not to chat with opponents casually.

The Nets players rested for half a day, and drove to the United Express Arena around [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

As soon as Ah Lian and his teammates walked into the court, they saw that the Bulls were sweating profusely from practice.

"I always feel that this league's No. 20 lineup is not very good." Devin Harris, who averaged [-]+ per game in the first [-] games of this season, complained.

"Indeed, apart from Gemini and the Hackers, the Bulls have no strong points."

Luol Deng said he bought a watch last year.

"Because of the serious injury of the hackers, the overall performance is no longer what it used to be, so the Bulls' ability to reach the top of the league is due to the ability of Gemini!"

Vince Carter rarely admits the opponent's strength, but once he recognizes the opponent, he will take real actions to respect him, just like he took the initiative to give up the All-Star starter to the old hooligan in 03.

Vinidnagro shook hands with Lawrence Frank, and the two chatted face to face.

"I heard that Aaron went to disturb your rest?"

"I can't talk about it, just pay attention in the future."

Lawrence Frank has coached the Nets since 03. Although he failed to continue to bring the Nets to the finals, he also led the Nets to the playoffs for four consecutive years.

Without Vinidnagro, Lawrence still has the longest winning streak led by a new head coach.

In terms of qualifications, Lawrence can be regarded as the senior of the rookie coach Pooh.

However, Pooh didn't bring this up to apologize for Chen Long. Seeing Lawrence's attitude, Pooh smiled and said, "Understood, he said that you are all in good condition, so there is no need to release water. I think so, let's Go all out and play a good game..."
