NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

When he came to Lin Lei, Duncan smiled even more and said, "Young people are doing well, the future of the league belongs to you."

Hearing Duncan's praise, Lin Lei couldn't help laughing and replied, "The future of the league also belongs to Leonard, but after me!"

After hearing Lin Lei's words, Duncan blinked again, not a compliment to Lin Lei before, but a heartfelt compliment.

He never thought that Lin Lei could answer such a sentence, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Leonard sitting on the bench, only to find that Leonard was still sitting there, his expression full of depression.

It seems that Lin Lei has become Leonard's psychological shadow, and it seems unlikely that he wants to come out at least in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Duncan couldn't help sighing again. If Popovich was there, at least he could give the young rookie a little psychological counseling, and it wouldn't make him so sad.

After greeting Lin Lei and others, Duncan finally came to Leonard's side.

At this time, Leonard also noticed that there was someone beside him, and couldn't help but look up. When he saw that it was Tim Duncan, there was a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Let's go, many viewers are watching now, don't let them see your negative emotions, it will look a little cowardly."

Looking at each other, Duncan showed a very warm smile and reminded Leonard.

".....

So Leonard just followed behind Duncan and returned to the Spurs locker room.

On the way, Duncan looked at Leonard and said.

"Don't be discouraged, this is just an ordinary regular season for us, we didn't lose, we still have a future!"

After hearing Duncan's words, Leonard didn't seem to let go. He thought for a while, and finally said:

"Sorry, I failed to meet the expectations of the coach and everyone in this game, and I couldn't prevent Lin Lei, which led to the team's situation!"9

"There is no such thing at all"||!"

Who knows, after Tim Duncan heard it, he smiled instead.

Leonard heard the words and raised his head to look at Duncan in front of him, wondering what he meant by these words?

So Duncan explained again: "I took the initiative to say hello to Lin Lei just now, but he was full of praise for you.

Lin Lei said that you are the best player to defend him among these players, which brought a lot of pressure to him, especially in this game, he only got 30 points.

You have to know that when other players face Lin Lei, they are almost always blown away.

Lin Lei averaged nearly 40 points per game, and only you can make him score 30 points, which is already a very good result.

Lin Lei also said that the future of the league belongs to you, and you will become his most powerful competitor on the road to winning the championship!"

Duncan told the truth in the previous words, but here he still changed a little, and didn't say Lin Lei, Jiang Leonard couldn't resist his words at all.

On the court, when dealing with fledgling young people, sometimes it still needs a little white lie...

At least in moments like this, it's extremely important to Leonard.

Sure enough, after hearing what Tim Duncan said, the nervousness on Leonard's face seemed to be relieved a lot. In his heart, Lin Lei had already become an insurmountable peak.

Leonard is naturally a little happy to get Lin Lei's affirmation. The two returned to the locker room together. At least for the current Spurs, they also need to adjust their state.

And that burden falls to Tim Duncan and Popovich.

The league and the Spurs issued a statement shortly after.

In this statement, the reason for Popovich's departure was also stated, and it was precisely because his wife was unwell that he left suddenly.

For this kind of rhetoric, fans also expressed acceptance. After all, Popovich's contribution to the Spurs is too great, and he has rarely taken care of his family for so many years.

The fans were still very warm, and they went to the Spurs' official Twitter and Popovich's Twitter to leave messages and pray for his wife.

As for the Lakers, after winning the Spurs, the next schedule is relatively simple.

This big win with the Spurs is also very important for the entire Lakers.

In itself, when Dayao joined the Lakers, it seemed that the Lakers had nothing to lose in this trade.

But everyone is also skeptical about Dayao's state, and various media have generally analyzed before the game that Dayao is far from his peak.

Some people even joked that Dayao's joining the Lakers is useless, and the only thing waiting for him is to retire.

But who would have thought that Dayao was not in a hurry, he played to the level he should have, and even improved his level from the peak period, which also made a group of self-media misfire and shut their mouths.

This Lakers team has received unprecedented reinforcements, and everyone is very happy in the locker room.

Phil Jackson even offered to pay for it out of his own pocket after returning to Los Angeles this evening. Please have a good time.

As a coach, being able to invite players out to play, and still in the regular season, is simply unimaginable in the past.

Especially a champion coach like Phil Jackson, he treats his players very seriously on weekdays, and a player like Rodman who loves to play is not less bound by him. Who would have thought that at such a moment, Jackson would He actually took the initiative to invite everyone out to play.

So the atmosphere in the locker room of the entire Lakers team also reached its peak, and everyone was discussing where to go. Today, we must have a good meal with Phil Jackson.

Just as everyone was discussing, as the focus and meritorious character of this game, Lin Lei directly shook his head and said.

"..I'm really sorry, everyone, go out and play, I won't accompany you today!"

Los Angeles itself is a place where people are intoxicated, and these players usually go to play after the game.

Top players like Lin Lei are the focus wherever they go, so there are countless capitals, hoping to have a relationship with Lin Lei, and naturally, these players hope to be able to match up on weekdays.

But in the face of the demands of his teammates, Lin Lei chose to refuse almost every time, and it is precisely because he is strict with himself that he can reach today's heights.

But this time the situation is unusual. It's not simply going out to play, but coach Phil Jackson has issued an invitation.

Even the head coach said it himself, if Lin Lei chooses not to go, he will inevitably lose face.

So everyone's eyes are focused on Lin Lei, hoping that he can give a more reasonable answer.

Even Phil Jackson looked at Lin Lei. As the head coach, he opened his mouth. He never thought that Lin Lei would refuse.

Aware of everyone's earnest gazes, Lin Lei smiled and replied.

"Because I'm going to an awards ceremony tomorrow!"
