Chapter 43 Returning to Boston (Fourth Change)

Boston is no different from last year, but in Shi Lei's eyes, the same place has a different scenery.

I still got off the plane at Logan International Airport. I remember that last year, I was overwhelmed and full of piety. But this year, I came here with confidence and ambition.

Coming here, there was nothing to do. Shi Lei tried to call the Celtics staff who was in charge of contacting him at the time, and euphemistically expressed his desire to go to the TD North Shore Garden Arena for training in advance. A positive reply was quickly received.

Although it is the offseason now, the arenas in every city are not deserted, and countless people come in and out every day.Except for a few high-ranked NCAA stars, most of the players participating in the draft have to travel to cities frequently, just to seek to be selected by a certain team and get a contract.

The Celtics are relatively high in the draft this year, and there is an endless stream of players who come to try out every day. When Shi Lei came to the basketball hall after a day off, many players, including their agents, were waiting here early , and wait for the start of the trial training.

Far away from the crowd, Shi Lei came to a quiet corner, doing simple basketball exercises by himself.

Dribbling, shooting, dribbling, in fact, these can be done anywhere. The reason why Shi Lei came here is to find a free laborer to guide him. His foundation is too weak, and many movements need to be corrected. The commissions of professional American basketball players in the United States are ridiculously high, and Shi Lei's salary can't afford them at all.

However, Shi Lei's idea came to nothing, everyone here has a lot of things to do, no one has the time to talk to him, let alone guide him.

It was like this for several days in a row, no one bothered him, and no one paid attention.

Until a second-hand product appeared.

"Are you China Yi?"

Yi Jianlian is very popular in the draft at this time. I don't know how good he is, but the pick is still high, so many prospective rookies who want to seek a high pick know that they have such a mysterious opponent.

"Are you face blind or blind?" Shi Lei really wanted to ask him this way.

With braids, a shoehorn face, and a beard, Shi Lei recognized Noah with just a glance.

"No." Shi Lei threw the basketball and responded stiffly.It looked like he was looking for faults, Shi Lei really didn't want to talk to him.

"No? You don't tell me you're China Yao. Hey, stop denying me, I know you, man."

"Then tell me why you're here?"

What's with that mocking face?If he wants to be provocative, Shi Lei really doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Noah really came to provoke him. He didn't have any achievements in college, so Noah's draft situation is not very optimistic. Now he is eager to beat a high-level opponent to improve his quality.

"How about a game of football?"

Nuoa spread his hands and raised his chin lightly at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei didn't say a word, just threw the basketball into Noah's hands with a "snap", and put himself in a defensive posture.

"You've been a blue-collar worker all your life, you fucking want to be singled out like others, I can't kill you." This is what Shi Lei said in his heart.

Noah: "."

"No, we jump the ball to decide possession."

"No, you start, leave here if you don't call, don't bother me."

"Okay." Noah slapped the basketball helplessly.

Shi Lei really wanted to laugh at that crappy dribble, but he didn't try to steal it, he just pestered Noah, anxious to see him make a fool of himself, and played it like a dog walk.

"Papa papa", Noah dangled outside the three-point line.

"Papapa", 1 minute later, Noah was still dangling outside the three-point line.

"Papa, papa", after a while, Noah made a dribble error, ran over to hold the basketball in his arms in a frantic stride, and looked back, his opponent didn't move at all.

Seeing this posture, Noah was too embarrassed, and he no longer controlled the ball. He raised his hand and threw the basketball to the basket, and then quickly cut to the basket.

Noah: "."

Because Shi Lei was faster than him, the basketball was caught in Shi Lei's arms before he ran to the basket.

"You still want to cut to the hoop for a dunk, you're thinking beautifully." Shi Lei said with contempt secretly in his heart.

"Crack." Shi Lei handed the basketball to Noah again.

"Hey, Jokin, what are you doing here?"

A fat middle-aged man shouted while running.

It's just like Noah's agent, Shi Lei knew at a glance, nine out of ten it was this person who instigated it, and then he came to save the scene when he saw that things were not going well.

"I'm sparring with Yi."

"Hello, I'm Foreman, Noah's agent. Isn't Mr. Fagan here?"

This is why Shi Lei is unwilling to find an unreliable agent. You say that you are an agent who can't even tell the difference between people, so why dare to take players around!

Shi Lei ignored him, picked up the basketball thrown away by Noah, and stood on the free throw line again.

"You wait here for Qiao Jin, I'll be here in a while." After finishing speaking, the man left here in a hurry.

"What? Yi? We invited him, but he declined."

Foreman ran to Celtics head coach Doug Rivers who happened to come to inquire about the situation of the trial players, and made gestures and said something.Then he got such an answer dumbfounded.

"Who is that?"

"He's another Chinese player, but he's not a rookie this year."

The words have already been said, and it is not so easy to take them back, Foreman had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Okay, but Jokin still wants to learn from that player,"

Noah's physical condition is very good, although Rivers is not interested in any of this year's rookies.

"Okay, let's ask his permission."

It’s fine to show your face and go through the motions, because the Celtics are going to do a big job this year, and Rivers doesn’t have much thought about staying with the draft players. It’s better to go to a bullfight and learn about the upcoming signing. The strength of new players.

"Hello, Mr. Rivers."

Seeing that his future head coach was most likely coming, Shi Lei stopped what he was doing.

"Hello Stone, welcome to the Celtics. This player wants to have a bullfight with you. What's your opinion?"

At this time, Shi Lei's mind became active: "Bullfighting, since I matched with White, I haven't tried it on the court, so I just use you to inspect the goods, in case the head coach takes a fancy to it, hehe!"

"no problem."

After finishing speaking, Shi Lei handed the basketball to Noah.

Noah: "."

"No, you guys go inside. He's a center forward, and you're a power forward. It's best to be under the basket." Noah's embarrassment was quickly resolved by Rivers' words.

"Okay." Shi Lei nodded happily, and walked to the basket with his head down.
