I'm king in the basket

Chapter 621 What did I see?
"Larch, what did you say to John Wall?"

"Some philosophical issues were explored, no big deal."

How funny?A guy with a lot of gossip, discussing philosophy in the playoffs with a player with a smudged stealing record as a kid?

It's not like cheating.

The reporter was clearly not satisfied with this answer, they did not accept this statement.

"You said to the crowd at the end of the first half that you were going to score in the second half against Washington. Why?"

Li Xingwan looked at the reporter as if he thought he was mentally retarded: "To win."

The reporter is going crazy: "Aren't you trying to put pressure on yourself or have fun in the game or something"

Li Xing felt more and more that there was something wrong with the reporter's head: "Why do you think so? What did I do to make you have such an illusion?"|
"This"

Li Xing continued his usual style of being aggressive at the press conference.

Raptors press conferences are always well-watched because of his presence.

After that, Snyder left the press conference with Li Xing.

"Larch, why did you say that?" Snyder asked.

Li Xing didn't understand, he said a lot tonight, which one did Snyder ask?
"Coach, what do you mean?"

"Those things that were said before the end of the first half."

Snyder said: "I can see that you put your heart and soul into the game in the first half, you didn't slack off, but you still said that, did you consider the consequences? If they scored against you Woolen cloth?"

"They'll have a boost in morale."

Li Xing said.

"Yes, they'll boost their morale. Why take the risk of saying that when you know there will be consequences."

Li Xing's answer was the same as he told the reporter: "To win."

"Is that all?"

Snyder's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Li Xing's heart, and he seemed to have heard Li Xing's heart.

"Lucky, how long have we known each other?"

The two walked to a self-service vending machine.

"Sit down for a while," Snyder said.

Li Xing sat down.

Snyder pulled a few coins out of his pocket and said, "You know why I always come back to the locker room later than you?"

"I've always wanted to ask, but I didn't have the chance." Li Xing said with a smile.

"A long time ago, I was a player, I played under the old coach K, there was a game, we lost, I played badly, I blamed myself."

"He took me to a vending machine similar to this self-service vending machine, bought me a bottle of water, let me drink something, and then reflect on tonight's game."

Snyder tossed two coins and bought two bottles of water: "So I developed a habit, no matter whether I win or lose, I will come to the vending machine to buy a bottle of drink, sit down and think about the game."

"Do you know what I have thought about the most these years?"

"What is it?"

Li Xing took the sports drink from Snyder.

"I always think, how is Luckey going to play tonight? How is Luckey doing tonight? Is he serious?"

"Over the years, you've rarely been serious, you've always played with a lazy attitude, but we've been winning and I can't say anything to you."

"Now that you are back, you seem to be a different person. You try your best every game. I think you have changed."

"Hope you don't mind me saying that," Snyder said, "that crash made you a better player."

Li Xing held the sports drink in his hand, for some reason, these words reminded him of Aldrich.

"Does this have anything to do with what I said tonight?"

Li Xing asked.

"Of course, I suddenly understand why you did that."

Snyder said: "You are the backbone of the team, and your defense is everyone's stabilizer. When John Wall scores consecutively under your defense, your sense of crisis tells you that if you can't stop him, it's a big deal. It's going to be a tough game and you've given your all, what are you going to do to stop him?"

"You need to push yourself to do something, so you say those things."

"Then you have no way out."

"Larch, am I right?" Snyder asked.

"Coach, I'm not as good as you said, I just want to win."

Li Xing held the unfinished sports drink in his hand: "Thank you for asking me to drink water."

Li Xing did not admit it.

Snyder is not surprised. If Li Xing admits it openly, he will wonder if he guessed wrong.

If he guessed right, how could he be so happy?

Maybe even he didn't realize why he did that, but these words must make him think of something.

Li Xing returned to the locker room, and his teammates congratulated him one after another.

In the first playoff game after his comeback, Li Xing led the team to victory with 28 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists and 12 blocks.

"Larch, you played really well tonight, do you want to go to St. Margaery to celebrate?"

Bargnani proposed.

"Great!"

"Go, go! Let's all go!"

"What are you doing there?" Li Xing asked jokingly, "Did you jump off the building?"

"Hahaha~~~"

It's been so many years since this incident, and it's still funny to mention it now.

Some fans don't know what Bargnani looks like on the field, but when they see Bargnani, they will definitely think that this is a strange man who jumped from the second floor and only sprained his waist.

"Lucky, I hate you! You got the party right tonight!"

Bargnani stroked his chest and said with tears in his eyes, "You broke my heart!"

"Don't be disgusting, I'm not fooling around with you."

Li Xing picked up the towel and hung it on his body: "I'm going back to shovel shit."

"You dog slave is hopeless!" Bargnani said angrily.

Li Xing didn't even refute, but DeRozan jumped out: "You are not allowed to say that!"

Suddenly, the locker room entered a strange atmosphere.

No one spoke.

Everyone looked at DeRozan, and Bargnani stared like a fighting cock.

When was the last time DeRozan jumped out to fight?
Everyone has forgotten.

While looking at DeRozan, Bargnani said to Brogdon beside him: "Rookie, please close your eyes."

"Why?" Brogdon asked.

"Don't you trust me? Do you think I'll hurt you?"

"I believe you!"

"Then why ask?"

Poor Brogdon closed his eyes in ignorance, like a little milk dog confidently showing its belly to its owner, which is the most vulnerable part of its body.

Bargnani reached out and pinched Brogdon hard from the waist up.

"Ahhhh~~~~~~"

Fortunately, there are no reporters outside, otherwise I would have thought that something was wrong in the Raptors locker room.

"what are you doing?"

Brogdon dared not speak out.

"It's true, I'm not dreaming!"

Bargnani excitedly said to the crowd: "Guys, Demar has had a fight with me!"

"Don't interrupt, do you have any prejudice against dog owners? What is a dog slave? I am the master!"

DeRozan to Bargnani.

"You have a dog too?"

Bargnani did not know this.

"Don't change the subject!"

DeRozan was so angry that his cheeks bulged, and Wade would cry when he saw it.

Compared to Li Xing not going to the party in order to shovel shit, it is more important that DeRozan finally did something that a depressed patient would not do.

Bargnani put one hand behind Brogdon's head: "Sorry, I said something wrong, I apologize, and I apologize to you with my little brother!"

I didn't say anything?Why should I apologize?
"me."

"What are you! Hurry up and apologize to others!"

Brogdon's heart is full of indignation, what the hell is this?
"Forget it, DeMar, ignore him."

Li Xing was naked, and said with a bath towel, "I wish you all a good time, I'm going to take a bath, don't wait for me."

"I'm going home, Saul is waiting for me."

DeRozan said.

"Aren't you taking a shower?" Calderon asked.

"Go home and wash, Saul is waiting for me."

With that said, DeRozan packed his things and hurried out of the locker room.

"Wait, the coach hasn't done the post-game summary yet, don't you wait for the coach?" Brogdon asked.

Bargnani said: "The summary after the game is a fart, it's no big deal, let's go."

The Italian had just finished speaking when he suddenly saw Snyder standing at the door.

If nothing else, all his comments on the post-match summary should have fallen into Snyder's ears.

"Coach, I will report!"

If you don't sell your teammates at this time, you will have to stay and listen to Snyder's chanting.

Sacrifice Bargnani alone to liberate everyone else, no matter how you look at it, it is a profitable business.

"I heard it all."

Snyder walked in, the aura on his body was like a big boss, calming down everyone in the room.

"I have nothing to say, Andrea stays, the rest are gone."

Snyder said.

Bargnani watched the others leave the locker room one by one, with tears in his eyes.

Acting skills became his life-saving magic weapon at this moment.

"Do you know why I kept you here?" Snyder asked.

"Coach, I was wrong." Bargnani bowed his head.

Snyder looked around: "Well, you clean up the locker room, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Really?" Bargnani's eyes lit up.

Snyder was taken aback: "Don't you think these are not enough to make up for the sins you committed?"

"No no no, I mean"

"I think so too"

Snyder nodded and said: "Well, let's clean the shower room by the way. I will rule the management department so that they don't have to send cleaners over. Today's hygiene will be left to you. Don't be late for training tomorrow morning."

"Training in the morning? Isn't it all training in the afternoon?"

"I want to see if you have gone home on time to rest, and I will send a text message to inform others when I get back."

After taking a shower, Li Xing came out humming a tune.

Then he saw Bargnani struggling to clear the dressing room.

His worldview has been hit like never before.

"What the fuck did I see?"
