Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 362 Returning to Memphis

The Lakers challenged the Magic in the second half of the game away. The Magic continued to double-team. The Lakers combined inside and outside, and the effect was very good.In this lineup, Li Tian played the role of a combination of Kobe and Dajia, that is, attracting double-teams, and can also distribute the ball. The only fly in the ointment is that the assist effect is really not good enough. The receiving player made adjustments, half of the ball was distributed, and he could not shoot in the first time.

"Beep!" The final whistle sounded, and the game ended.

The Lakers challenged the Orlando Magic away and won by 110 points with a score of 102:8.

Li Tian scored a quasi triple-double of 26 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, and fought with Howard at the basket, leaving Gasol and Kobe missing a lot.A lot of rebounds are there, watching them fly out, but Howard hangs up, unable to grab the rebounds.

The biggest beneficiary of the game was Kobe, who floated on the outside, occasionally broke through the basket with the ball, but scored 32 points and 8 rebounds.

At the end of the game, the two teams greeted each other.

"Next time I come to Los Angeles, I will blow you up!" Howard still said this with a smile. After the game is over, there will be no grievances.

He won't hold grudges either, he must do whatever he wants, but he still won't give up after eating.

"Haha, I don't think you have any hope of blowing me up in the future, just wait and see!" Li Tian said, he didn't think Howard would have any chance in the future.

Now his weight is still at a disadvantage. Next season, Howard wants to use his strength to single himself, but it will not be so easy.

After the game, when he returned to the locker room, Phil was still preparing to give Bynum a lesson.

"Bynum, in the future you have to practice with Lee, this is not a wish, but a request!" Not only did Kobe hate that kind of player who wasted talent, Phil also did the same.

"Okay!" At this moment, Bynum was obedient, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

The Lakers did not leave Orlando overnight, but stayed for one night before boarding the plane to Memphis.

"Li, when we get here, we have to act alone." Gasol said without thinking.

"Acting alone, what do you want to do?" After being interrupted from contemplation, she was slightly upset.

After boarding the plane, Li Tian fell into deep thought, thinking about how to better use his footwork in actual combat. In the last game, Howard was just a stepping stone.If you continue to improve, you still need to improve slowly by yourself.

"Conley and the others, ask my younger brother to contact me and invite us to have dinner together. I promise for you. When we get off the plane, they will wait for us at the airport!"

"Okay!" Nodding in agreement.

The plane soon landed at Memphis Airport.

Returning to Memphis this time is different from last season. After all, last season, he was just a second-round pick who was sold off, but now he has a contract similar to that of the No. [-] pick.

When I came to Memphis for the first time, I thought this was the place where my dream started.At that time, I considered that if Gasol was traded away, Xiaojia joined, and young players such as Lowry and Conley grew up, and with their own growth, the team would definitely not be weak in the future!

Of course, he would definitely grow much slower than he is now. After all, he can enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree. Without Kobe, his achievements today would definitely be much lower than they are now.

After being traded, I didn't resent Memphis, but I felt a little bit of dissatisfaction with Mark, and that damn Guy, who insisted on competing with me. After all, I was the real Chosen One.

Looking at the current Grizzlies team, it only takes Randolph to join, and it will take off directly.With Kevin Love, in exchange for OJ-Mayo, Conley was sent to the bench again.I don't know what kind of state Conley is at this time, and it's no wonder that in later generations, Conley left the Grizzlies immediately after being given a big contract in another team.

Obviously he was selected with the fourth overall pick, but he still couldn't get the corresponding training.It's just that Gay, the eighth pick in the first round, got more playing time than himself, the fourth pick.Lowry is a second-round pick and can still be the team's starter, and he can only be a substitute.

It can only be said that Mark (the head coach of the Grizzlies) is not long in his career in Memphis, and it is estimated that he will soon be used as a scapegoat and spurned by Memphis.

Now I am full of honors, champion of the three-point shooting contest, MVP of the Rookie Challenge, the second team of the best defense, the championship, and the Olympic silver medal.

Last season, the only player the Grizzlies traded for was the newly signed Marc Gasol.The other players have basically left the team.It can be said that in this deal, the Grizzlies only got the right to sign Xiaojia. Fortunately, Xiaojia came to the Grizzlies and performed very well, which prevented the management from being scolded so badly.

Now the player with the highest salary in the Grizzlies is actually Milicic. After Calvin arrived, he quickly relegated to the second line and became a substitute player.

"Haha, buddy, Memphis welcomes you!" It was Lowry who spoke first. At that time in the Grizzlies, Lowry had the best relationship with Li Tian.

Looking at the Grizzlies players who came to pick up Li Tian and Gasol, Milicic, Lowry, Conley and Xiaojia.Today's Grizzlies have changed, and Navarro has left the Grizzlies and returned to Europe.

"Lowry, your face is full of spring breeze recently!" It can be said that Lowry and Conley have shared playing time equally recently, and it can also be said that they are doing well.

Especially the summer training was also very hard, but there was still some improvement.

"There is no way to compare with you. It only took one year to get honors that others may not get in their lifetime. I don't need to list them all. The most important thing is that you have already got an annual salary that is similar to that of the champion. Congratulations!" Lowry said sincerely, the jealousy must be a little jealous, and more of a blessing to him.

"It's all a false name, it's all a false name! Money, isn't it just paper, you can spend as much as you want, and don't care about the salary!" Li Tian was pretending to be X again, but he did it.

A salary of 500 million is indeed not much. For him, the endorsement fee is not as high as Hook.Hook couldn't wait for the next top endorsement contract, and wanted to re-sign a new contract with a starting salary of 1000 million, but the price has not been negotiated yet, and there are also signature shoes!
"Damn it, he pretended to be there again!" Conley came up with a small punch.

"Don't talk about it, people don't care at all. His endorsement fee for Hook this season is only 500 million. I don't know what he was thinking at the time. Hook actually signed the contract, agreeing that if he wins the championship The one-year endorsement fee is 500 million." In the end, Li Tianzhen won the championship, and Gasol envied his shit luck.

"Damn it, let Li pay for today's dinner, and we'll beat the local tyrants!" Conley stayed in the Celestial Dynasty for nearly two months and learned a lot of vocabulary.

"I'm just a second-round pick, why let me out?" There is a price to be paid for pretending to be X, and may heaven not pretend to be X.

"That's your fault, protest is invalid!"

With that said, several people drove them away from the airport.

"Lowry, how are you doing?" Mentioning Lowry, Li Tian felt a little guilty. It was clear that Lowry and Dajia were making trouble in the locker room, and he was the one who sent him away in the end, which gave him a lot of benefits.

"It's a little bit better, but I still hope to be able to trade from the Grizzlies to another team. My relationship with Conley is also getting worse, especially on the court. After all, the two of us split the playing time equally!" The competition between the two has already Entering the heat, Conley did not have a stable playing time and could not get exercise, so why not Lowry, who also did not have enough playing time and could not get the exercise he wanted.

Lowry's goal has always been the maximum salary, and he has been working hard for it. Because of the competition for playing time and starting, the relationship between the two is getting worse and worse.

"Sorry, I took it away, it should have been your chance to be traded!"

"It's okay, I still want to thank you. If I didn't train with you in summer, I don't think I can get such good data now. I have the opportunity to train together in summer!" Lowry is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. It helped him improve a lot, especially every night, after Li Tian finished the national team training, he would go to the training ground to train with Lowry.

"If you have a chance, let's trade away. Mark is not a good coach, and he doesn't know how to use it against you!" Li Tian said sonorously, exhaling.

"I know, I'm contacting my agent to see how I can be traded out earlier!" The voice was full of helplessness.

"At that time, are you interested, let's play together?" Good players, it's better to dig them out early.

"I'm very happy, but I think it's the most suitable opportunity after you beat Kobe!" Lowry doesn't object to playing with Li Tian. The two got along very well before and worked hard. players.

"Haha, sooner or later, he is already old, that damn old man, sooner or later he will be killed by me!" That is, in front of Lowry, Dajia is not there, otherwise he would not dare to say that.

"I look forward to that day!" Lowry smiled.It seems to be thinking about what he can do if he competes with Li Tian in the future.

"We're here! Let's wait for them first. It must be Xiao Jia and Da Jia. The two of them quarreled over what to eat on the road!" Li Tian was very helpless. It was like this when he was in the capital. , discussing what to eat every day, which ones are delicious and which ones are not, every time I talk about eating, I get excited.

"It's really two foodies, but there is such a good talent, it's really a waste!" Lowry couldn't help complaining.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" The two brothers, Da Jia and Xiao Jia, sneezed in unison.

"Hurry up!" Only a roar was heard, "I can eat whatever I say, you can't resist, I'm the elder brother!" Da Jia used his elder brother to suppress Xiao Jia.

"You know how to bully people, you can't beat me!" Xiaojia challenged.

"I'm your brother, you want to rebel!" Da Jia roared again.

"You can't beat me!" Xiaojia's voice became quieter, and he didn't dare to resist after being photographed by Dajia's domineering power. The shadow of childhood is an indelible memory.

I saw everyone coming to the restaurant.

Li Tian saw Xiaojia with a bulging stomach, and couldn't help walking over.

"Crack!" I couldn't help but patted Xiaojia's stomach, "My God, what do you eat every day, why are you getting fat again?" I couldn't help but tease.

I remember that Xiaojia had a stomach when he started training, and after training, his stomach was much smaller.It's only been a few months, and the stomach is not small.

"Well, I usually eat too many hamburgers, so it's still not as delicious as Tianchao's food. I will go to Tianchao next year during the offseason, welcome?" Looking at Li Tian with small eyes full of expectations.

"Not welcome!" Resolutely refused, this guy is a foodie, after going there, whether he can control his diet well is unknown.

"Of course, if you pay for food and lodging at your own expense, I don't think I have any reason to refuse you!" A flash of inspiration attracted Xiao Jia, and Da Jia would definitely not be able to escape.

The training center needs popularity. At most, after the first year, it will charge less money and increase income later.

"No problem, now I can earn money, and I don't have to be bullied by someone anymore." Xiaojia was very excited, thinking of those delicacies, she was very happy.If it wasn't for Dajia's objection, he would have hired a chef from the Celestial Dynasty so that he could eat delicious food every day.

"You just know how to eat, and you even hired a chef to make you fat. You are now an athlete!" After several hours of friendly education, Xiao Jia gave up this idea.

"That's good!" Another person was invited, and there was a long way to go.

"Conley, is the relationship between you and Lowry getting worse?" Li Tian pulled Conley aside and asked.

"Yes, it's not that damn Mark. If you have to do something, take turns starting." Conley complained for a full 10 minutes, and kept talking about this Mark.

"Well, it seems that I am lucky. I think you will end soon. He shouldn't stay in the Grizzlies for long!" Patting Conley on the shoulder, he comforted him.

"I hope so, let's go in, they must be waiting anxiously." Conley didn't say any more.

There is no need to persuade the two of them to maintain a good relationship. Players are like this. There is competition on the court. It is really not easy to maintain a good relationship at the same time.

They ate very happily. They left very late and chatted about everything, but the topic was still diverted by Da Jia and Xiao Jia. Only in the first half hour, they talked about basketball, followed by food.

On December 08, 12, local time, at 22:8 pm, the match between the two teams officially began.

Grizzlies starters: Marc Gasol, Darko Milicic, Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo, Lowry.

Looking at the five starters, it hasn't changed much from that time.

Bynum and Xiao Jia came to the middle circle to jump the ball.

Veteran rookie Carol, wins the jump ball.

Lowry dribbled the ball, distributed it to the basket, hit Bynum with his back, and hit the iron with a mid-range shot.

Milicic squeezed away Dajia, grabbed the offensive rebound, and scored the second offense.

"Paul, you ate so much yesterday, where is your strength?" Milicic would also be excited, and chased Dajia and said.

"Damn it, I'll call back!" roared angrily.

Looking back, he assisted Bynum and scored a layup.
