I'm king in the basket

Chapter 465
"Larch, do you think you're going to stick around?"

Stephenson and Li Xing came to the parking lot together, and he asked some interesting questions.

From the beginning to the end?Li Xing has played in the NBA for four years, and he has heard stories of being faithful to the end, but most of them are stories of being hurt by loyalty.

Many players are desperate for the team, some because they can’t lead the team further, and some because their condition declines after getting older. On the one hand, the team comforts them and promises not to trade them, and then throws them out by changing hands.

Such stories are not uncommon, and Li Xing cannot guarantee that such things will not happen to him.

His thinking is simple, if his form starts to decline, he will get out of the quagmire before the competitiveness disappears.

"I don't know, I would."

Li Xing's answer is not sure.

"Are you sure? Even Scott Pippen will leave Chicago, and many kings have left his country," Stephenson said.

Li Xing said: "I will leave before they need me to leave."

Stephenson didn't say any more, said goodbye to Li Xing and drove away.

Although the all-seeing eye could not allow Li Xing to gain insight into people's hearts, these few words from Stephenson let Li Xing know that he had already moved his mind to leave.

After a month of competition, he found that he was indeed not Dragic's opponent, but he didn't want to be reduced to a substitute, so he could only fight for better opportunities for himself.

30 teams, why hang on only one tree?
For those who have plans for their careers, they will not be willing to fix their roles early in their careers.

If he can go to a team that is willing to give him the ball to play freely, it will be great for his future.

However, even if he wants to leave, it can only be through a transaction.

Once it is put on the shelf, it is not up to him to decide where to go and where not to go.

Colangelo will inevitably use Stephenson to earn the maximum return. He may be thrown into another strong team as a substitute, or he may be thrown to those teams that aim to be bad. Well, as long as the price is right, you can go anywhere.

Li Xing returned home.

After Thanksgiving, quite a few people left.

The time for the next party is Christmas.

It's only been half a month, and people like Ingrid, Pantoliano, and Dailins who stayed in the Lincoln apartment for a long time during the season have already started to buy items needed for Christmas.

That night, Ingrid's brother Harlan also came back early.

As he entered the first year of high school, his life became more and more colorful.

With Li Xing's relationship, there are not many girls who are willing to befriend him. However, he still gets along very well with his first big-breasted girlfriend.

"Harlan, how are you doing at school?" Li Xing asked.

Harlan said: "It's very good. The relationship between the classmates is harmonious, the teacher is strict in class, the homework is completed on time, and I go home in time after school. Everything is good."

This kind of speech that reads like a manuscript is nonsense at first glance, without a single truth.

Li Xing's eyes fell on him: "Really?"

Some sweat dripped from Harlan's face: "Really, what's wrong with that?"

How can ordinary students say anything about teachers and classmates in class?

Did he think he was a top student?
Li Xing wouldn't believe a word: "Is there really nothing wrong? If there is, you have to tell me."

"Okay. There's actually something wrong."

Harlan didn't hide it from Li Xing, he confessed: "Larch, I believe you will understand and support me."

Li Xing is very happy to be an enlightened brother-in-law: "You say, I listen, I will support you."

So Harlan said, "I don't want to go to school."

Harun's words hit Li Xing like lightning, don't you want to go to school?

No wonder this baby dare not speak to Ingrid. If Ingrid hears this, let him know what "your savage sister" is in minutes.

"Why? You are only 15 years old, what can you do if you don't go to school?" Li Xing asked.

"Because I am only 15 years old, I feel that my future is limitless. I have my own band, and I am the core of the band. We are very capable. I believe I will be able to hold a concert in the center of the airline soon. .”

His confident appearance makes people almost believe it, if Li Xing doesn't have all-seeing eyes.

Through Harun's attributes, Li Xing was convinced that his singing skills might be worse than his own.

Now that he has this dangerous idea, and he may go astray, it is an extremely bad thing no matter how you look at it.

"Harun, listen, you have to tell your sister about this, she will decide." Li Xing said.

Harlan wondered: "You know she won't agree."

"If you can't even convince her, how will the band start?" Li Xing asked.

Harlan was in a dilemma: "How about this, I will invite Harry to dinner at home on Saturday, and I will tell my sister at the dinner table."

"Very well, you have taken a brave first step."

Li Xing naturally disagreed with Harun dropping out of school to start a band. Considering his talent, doing so might make him only beggars on the street in the future.

It's just that it is very difficult to persuade others to give up what they are about to do.

You have to frustrate him.

Li Xing didn't have an idea yet, and didn't know what to say.

Five days later, that is Saturday.

In the past five days, the Raptors have played one game away and one game at home.

They are still winning, and now have accumulated 19 consecutive victories.

The NBA's opening streak is just four games away.

The focus of the fans has shifted from the running-in state of the teams to when the Raptors will lose.

The Raptors played the best start of Li Xing's era, however, Li Xing's data has dropped a bit compared to before.

His current averages are 23 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks.

Although all the statistics have shown a significant decline, the stars who played against him all have a firm opinion: this season's Laqi Lee is stronger!
The decline in Li Xing's data is not surprising. Reinforcing strong players, the data will naturally be diverted.

Even with a slight dip, his numbers still look unbeatable.

What troubled Li Xing was the cover.

In terms of blocking shots, he didn't let go and tried his best every game, but the opponent was already afraid of him.

There are fewer and fewer people who dare to attack in front of him. Many people rush to pass the ball when they see him under the basket.

It's a deterrent that builds up over time.

With an average of 7 blocks per game in successive years, Li Xing's defense has been unanimously recognized by the entire league.

The team has a space-based inside lane, and pulling Li Xing out every round is already a regular tactic for each team.

In this era without O'Neal and other powerful centers, no team can confront Li Xing face to face. They can only use this method to reduce Li Xing's influence.

It turned out to be useless, and Li Xing's blocking was not affected much.

The only thing that can reduce Li Xing's blocks are those offensive players who want to pass the ball when they meet him.

Without those stunned youths who are defending strong, Li Xing's chances of brushing caps are much less.

Saturday night
Harlan took his girlfriend Halle to a family dinner at Lincoln's apartment.

After Li Xing finished thanking the non-existent God for giving them food, Harun spoke.

"Sister, I have something to tell you."

Ingrid looked at him dotingly: "You say."

"Harry and I discussed it and decided that we don't want to go to school anymore. We can support ourselves with our own abilities. Our band is very mature."

When Harlan said it, all the adults present were dumbfounded.

Li Xing already knew about this, so he cut the steak calmly.

After Ingrid recovered from the huge shock, she shook her head and said, "No, you know I will refuse, I can't accept it!"

"Sister, when I grow up, I can support myself with my hands," Harlan said.

"No! You have to finish four years of high school, you still have to go to college, you will participate in many school activities, make many friends, you can't drop out!" Ingrid almost growled.

"I thought you'd support me."

After that, Harlan took Harry and left the dining table.

"My goodness!"

Ingrid covered her eyes, unable to believe that this was happening to him.

Drop out to start a band to support yourself?What an idiotic idea?Those who can give up the school band at this age and achieve success are all geniuses in the field of music.

Ingrid would have believed that Harlan was the best freshman boy in the world when she was irrational, but she was sober now.

She believed in "Harlan's" ability, and if he did this, it would definitely ruin his life.

"Larch, what should I do?" Ingrid asked.

Li Xing smiled and said, "Why don't we let them sing a song like a band in front of us, and let us see how good they are."

Ingrid asked: "What if they sing well?"

Li Xingdao: "We have so many professionals here, if even they think that Harun sings well, why are you worried?"

"Right."

Hearing this, Ingrid got up to find Harlan.

"Larch, is this really okay?"

Li Xingdao: "Believe me, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

Pantoliano clapped his hands and said, "That's a good point, although I don't know what that means."

"It means eating well and not talking."

It was rare for Li Xing to show off his literary talents, but he didn't know how to count.

After Ingrid shared her thoughts with Harlan, she got her brother's approval.

He also felt that he couldn't convince his sister with words alone, he had to let her see his strength and convince her that this decision was completely correct.

Therefore, they have to set a time point when everyone is free.

Soon, they decided.

They set the time after the Raptors' home game against the Knicks.

After that game, the Raptors had a three-day offseason, and everyone else was free, so they could watch the show together.

"By the way, our band name is "Fool Run"!"
