Chapter 7: Grizzlies

A few people were humble.

"Brother Yao, will you leave New York in the next few days?"

"I'm ready to leave. I still have things to do." Yao Ming married Ye Li in August 2007. Yao Ming must have wanted to go back as soon as possible.

"Where are you?" Li Tian looked at Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.

"We have nothing to do. We can go back a few days later." Yi Jianlian said.

"Brother Yao, what can happen to you? You are probably getting married, but you can't get married secretly without telling us."

Bill Duffy became interested after talking about it. Gossip is human nature. Men also gossip, but the gossip topics are different.

Yao Ming was hit by Li Tian and became a big blush.

Just when several people were questioning Yao Ming.

Bill Duffy's phone rang.

"Bill, this is Mark Jafaroni (the new head coach of the Grizzlies). I'm glad to be able to contact you. We couldn't find Lee's phone number, so we can only contact you."

"Hello, Mark Jaffaroni, who are you calling?"

"Oh oh oh, I'm so happy. I forgot to explain my purpose. The Grizzlies just made a deal with the Trail Blazers and got Lee."

Mark Jafaroni has just become the head coach, and of course he hopes to build the team according to his own ideas. He feels that Li Tian should be qualified.

"Lee, you were traded to the Grizzlies." Bill hung up the phone.

"Well, the Grizzlies seem to be stronger than the Trail Blazers, and there is hope for the playoffs."

"Haha, Li Tian, ​​we will meet four times a season." The Grizzlies and Mosaics are in the same division and will meet four times a season.

"Yes, Brother Yao, aren't you a little overweight? You can't even see your eyes when you smile. If you are only a master of magic in terms of disappearing eyes, I really worry about whether you will be able to get married in the future."

Yi Jianlian, who was drinking a drink, sprayed Sun Yue in the face.

Let the laughter stay a little longer.

Li Tian has a cheerful personality and is easy to get along with others. Yao Ming thought of when he first entered the NBA.

Some are worried about Yi Jianlian and whether his character can integrate into the NBA.

"Brother Yao, please lose weight. You are too easy to get injured at this weight." Li Tian did not forget to remind Yao Ming.

"This is the coach's arrangement, I can't refuse." Yao Ming has always maintained his sincerity.

"Bill, I think you should talk to Mosaic's management. If this continues, it will be difficult for Brother Yao's career to last too long. His feet cannot support his body."

Yao Ming's personality is not suitable for being the boss of a team. He is the second in command of a very good team and rarely fights for himself.

"Brother Yao, I don't want you to be injured after we have grown up. The national team still needs you to carry it in 2008. Who made you bigger?"

Injuries have been plaguing Yao Ming. He is quiet off the court, but will go all out on the court. His excessive weight continues to destroy Yao Ming's feet.

"Yes, I think what Li said is right, you have to lose weight and reduce playing time." For his own benefit, Bill did not want Yao Ming to get injured again. He didn't know that if he got injured again, he would fall down directly.

"Yao, I will contact the team to put pressure. You just need to cooperate."

Yao Ming also wanted to say something.

"Brother Yao, do you still remember my knee injury?"

With this reminder, Yao Ming acquiesced to Bill's approach.

"Li Tian, ​​where are you going to train this summer?"

"Let's go to Los Angeles. The environment may be better there."

"Are you training alone?" Among the teammates at the University of Florida during the draft, only Horford and Green came to congratulate Li Tian, ​​knowing that he might train alone in the summer.

"Yes, you also know that my knee injury in college made me..."

"Li Tian, ​​shall we train with you? I am also preparing to train after the summer league." Yi Jianlian also felt that Yao Ming valued Li Tian and had the idea of ​​​​competing.

"Yes, Li Tian, ​​you can ask Yi Jianlian to train with you. You have a lot of training to do alone, right?"

Yao Ming also hopes that Yi Jianlian can train with Li Tian so that Yi Jianlian's personality can be changed and he can better integrate into the NBA.

"I have no objection, but my training is boring and tiring. Can you persist?"

Li Tian is willing to train with someone, but he definitely doesn’t want an uncle to train with him.

"No problem, I can persist." Yi Jianlian also did not want to be looked down upon.

"Okay, then you contact me after the summer league ends and we will train together then."

Yao Ming glanced at Sun Yue, who was eating fat meat, and showed a hint of disappointment.

The dinner ended quickly, and Yao Ming declined Li Tian's invitation to go to Taylor's concert the next day.

Sun Yue readily agreed, and Yi Jianlian was dragged away by Li Tian.

The next day, Li Tian went to Taylor's concert with them wearing a hat.

The concert ended and the two left.

"Taylor, congratulations, your concert was so successful, tens of thousands of people shouted Taylor."

"You are here, which is the greatest success."

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian left early, otherwise he wouldn't have had to eat dinner and would have enough dog food.

Taylor felt that although Li Tian was not very enthusiastic towards him, he was not as repulsive as before.

"Taylor, I plan to go to Los Angeles for training after the summer league. I have asked Bill to start contacting him." Li Tian still told Taylor that he was going to Los Angeles for training.

"Really? I have a villa there. Please take care of it for me. Don't refuse. I won't pay you for the care."

Li Tian did not refuse, "Okay, I will contact you then, but Yi Jianlian may also live there by then. I hope you don't mind."

Yi Jianlian is actually very rich and can afford the training expenses by himself. Li Tian is worried that Yi Jianlian's training will be affected if he lives outside.

"You don't mind, but if I don't agree, I guess you won't live there." Taylor knows Li Tian and Liu Lu, and she understands in her heart.

"It's okay, I don't mind, but he can't enter some of my private spaces." In order to be able to record songs every time he goes to Los Angeles, Taylor specially bought some professional recording equipment there.

"Okay, no problem. But your concert was really successful. Can you give me a few of your autographed albums? You also know that they know that I know you, and they all begged me to get your autographed albums." .”

"They want it, don't you want it?" Taylor was a little angry.

"No, no, I want a bit too much. I'm afraid you won't agree, so I'm too embarrassed to ask."

"It doesn't matter, you have whatever you want." Taylor didn't care that Li Tian wanted a lot, he only cared that he didn't want anything.

"I want your songs from your debut to now. You also know that some of them are not that easy to find. I have been looking for them for a long time and still can't find them all." There was regret on his face.

"Okay, I don't have everything here now. When you get to Los Angeles, I will give you everything."

Li Tian left first, and Taylor's concert still needed to be finished.

...

A week later, Li Tian came to Las Vegas to prepare for the summer league.

This year's summer league has more teams participating, especially the Chinese national team also participated in this summer league.

Neither Yi Jianlian nor Sun Yue participated in the team that selected them. They are both in the national team training for the 2008 Olympics.

Li Tian finished training with the Grizzlies and came to the training hall of the national team's summer league.

Most of them are players for next year's Olympic Games: Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Liu Xiaoyu, Wang Shipeng, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Mo Ke, Li Nan, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui, Zhang Songtao, Wang Zhongguang, Wang Lei, Chen Jianghua, Du Feng.

Only Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Li Tian have seen them.

"How are you? How do you feel about these players in the national team this year?" Yao Ming asked Li Tian.

Li Tian looked around and looked at the players who were training.

"Brother Yao, are you sure this is their daily training? It feels like the intensity is a little stronger than when I recovered from my knee injury."

Yao Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Tian said. He invited Li Tian over just to give them a blow.

Wang Zhizhi, who has participated in the NBA, nodded.

How could young Wang Lei and Chen Jianghua couldn't help it?

"Who I thought was that, turned out to be a man with a broken knee. Why do you say that to us?"

Others gathered around, and Yi Jianlian also wanted to see Li Tian's strength.

Li Tian didn't say anything. He looked at Yao Ming and thought to himself, "Brother Yao, you asked me to cause trouble."

Yao Ming nodded. Wang Zhizhi, who was not far away, saw it and understood what Yao Ming meant. As the big brother of the team, he did not stop the young players.

Chen Jianghua looked at Wang Zhizhi without any reaction, thinking that he hoped that he could regain his face by himself.

"How about it? Do you want to compete?" Chen Jianghua was a little provocative.

"Okay." Li Tian replied simply. If you want to slap him in the face, it will hurt.

Started to warm up.

"What do you want to compete with? Strength, speed or bullfighting?"

Chen Jianghua was a defender and his strength was definitely not as good as Li Tian's, so he chose bullfighting.

"Bullfighting."

"no problem."

Li Tian threw the ball to Chen Jianghua, "You attack first."

Direct gold level death coil.

Chen Jianghua wanted to use his speed to pass Li Tian.

He suddenly accelerated, throwing Li Tian a little distance away, and made a three-step layup.

The moment the basketball left his hand, a big hand flew over from behind and slammed the ball onto the backboard.

Nailboard hat.

Others exclaimed.

Li Tian held the ball and hit a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line and into the net.

"Is this how you defend?" Li Tian glanced at Chen Jianghua, who was stunned.

Chen Jianghua directly gave up his defense on Li Tian outside the three-point line.

This... everyone else was stunned. If you don't hit the inside at such a high level, you will directly lose three points.

"This is the end of the second round. The rookies are so strong. Who can we count?" the young players couldn't help but ask themselves.

Yao Ming was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

The bullfight continues.

Chen Jianghua's shots either missed or were blocked, and one or two were intercepted directly.

Li Tianze hit consecutive three-pointers.

After the bullfight was over, Li Tian didn't say anything. He went straight to the weight room, did 20 bench presses, and left.

You must know that Durant can't even do one at this time.

After finishing, Li Tian called Yao Ming and went out together, and everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Li Tian, ​​you are cruel enough this time, isn't it a bit too much?"

"It's passed, but it's nothing. Just look at them. They are really capable. They all have average abilities. Others can't say that."

The biggest gap between domestic and foreign athletes is the issue of self-discipline. Successful foreign athletes are very self-disciplined, but when you look at China, you still don’t watch them.
