Chapter 312 We are here for revenge
January 1 is the first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar, and most countries in the world regard this day as the New Year.
In China, it is also called New Year's Day because it marks the beginning of the year.
Yi Jianlian introduced to Li Lai: "There are four traditional festivals in China, namely the Spring Festival, Ching Ming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Among them, the Spring Festival is the most important festival."
"Because of the NBA schedule, I haven't celebrated the Spring Festival for 4 years."
Speaking of this, Yi Jianlian looked at his parents who were busy making glutinous rice balls and rice cakes, with a look of guilt on his face.
The Spring Festival pays attention to returning the fallen leaves to their roots. At that time, all the people living in other places will return to their hometowns.
Because Yi Jianlian couldn't go home on that day anyway, his eager parents chose to come to the United States to spend New Year's Day with him.
Du Feng was also invited by Yi Jianlian. Originally Dayao was also invited, but because he also had a game against the Lone Ranger tonight, he couldn't come.
Du Feng snorted and ate the glutinous rice balls and said: "Although the coach is a native American, he knows Chinese culture very well, and he can even be regarded as a China hand."
"You know, when the Hornets were playing the Spurs, the coach said something to me in Chinese."
"Du Feng, lagging behind is nothing!"
Yi Jianlian laughed out loud after hearing this. He knew Li Lai's standard authentic Chinese dialect earlier than Du Feng, and it was said that it was taught by an unreliable Chinese teacher.
Yi Jianlian said: "Coach, you must come to China if you have the opportunity. This country is very friendly."
Li Lai nodded. As a Chinese in his previous life, his understanding of the motherland was no worse than the two of them.
At this time, Du Feng talked with Yi Jianlian about the upcoming Olympic Games.
In the previous Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team failed to create miracles. Both Chinese fans and men's basketball players felt extremely regretful.
Because they have a double NBA All-Star combination like Yi Jianlian + Yao Ming, and they are also the most terrifying inside players in the international arena.
Such a combination failed to create history, which really makes people feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, Yao Ming is 32 years old. Considering the extremely short career of big center players, if the Chinese men's basketball team cannot achieve record-setting results in this Olympic Games, they may lose this possibility forever.
So the upcoming London Olympics is the last chance for the entire Chinese men's basketball team.
"Coach Bob Deng Huade still has a contract with the Basketball Association, but both the Chinese fans and the Basketball Association have doubts about his continued coaching of the Chinese men's basketball team."
"Coach Deng Huade likes to play fast and is good at coaching defensive counterattacks, but his ability in positional warfare is not outstanding, and the strongest point we have is precisely the twin tower combination of you and Dayao."
"So the Basketball Association is also considering whether to replace Guo Shiqiang as the coach of the men's basketball team. At the same time, it is also investigating a foreign coach named Panagiotis Yannakis."
Before Du Feng came to the Hornets, the Basketball Association was already actively preparing for this matter, so he was very clear about the details of these matters.
Yi Jianlian also heard these rumors when he was in China, but he didn't take it to heart. He knew that Dayao was very concerned about this matter.
"Dayao is also very clear that this may be his last Olympic Games, and his time to win glory for the country is running out."
Of course, in Yi Jianlian's view, whether it is his friend Guo Shiqiang or the foreign coach Panagiotis Janna, it is difficult to guarantee that the Chinese men's basketball team will be brought to a new height.
Because neither of them has proven that they are very good at coaching the Twin Towers lineup.
Yi Jianlian and Du Feng did not avoid Li Lai when discussing this matter, they both knew that the other party was a trustworthy person.
Although Li Lai was curious about this, he didn't talk too much. After all, he was just an outsider at this time.
Then Li Lai asked about something he was extremely concerned about, which was the conflict in the Bucks locker room that was hotly discussed by the major media after the end of last season.
Hearing this, Yi Jianlian instantly suppressed all his smiles and looked serious.
He remembered the night when Cousins beat Westbrook angrily. Curry and Westbrook sparked a quarrel in the locker room. Even Artest failed to quell the matter.
All the players are on Curry's side, including Yi Jianlian, and they are unwilling to play for a team without Li Lai.
Westbrook was completely isolated.
Westbrook, who took over the leadership of the team in the Eastern Conference finals last season, was questioned by everyone after the playoffs.
"The last is a letter."
"Because of its emergence, all of us have the same goal and vowed to bring the Bucks to a three-peat championship dynasty."
"That's why we got back together."
Li Lai remembered that after the finals, Maroli Edens also gave him a letter, which contained the bank card he had given to Holloway.
Inside the card is all of Li Lai's savings, and the little girl who loves money doesn't seem to love money.
"It was Mary Edens who gave the letter to you?" Li Lai guessed.
Yi Jianlian nodded, recalling that the little girl's name was indeed that, and I heard that she was the daughter of the current owner of the Bucks.
Li looked at Yi Jianlian and asked.
Yi Jianlian and Li Lai already had a very tacit understanding, knowing what the other party's eyes were trying to ask at this time, he said without hiding it.
"Inside the letter is a picture of you working in the office at Bradley Arena late at night. The desk and surrounding walls are full of our tactics and the opponent's tactics."
"When you signed the contract for me, I knew that you always wanted to make the Bucks a dynasty team, so you controlled the team's salary space very reasonably."
"Russell, Stephen, DeMarcus... We all know that three consecutive championships is your dream as a coach. Coach Tyronn Lue and Marshall also confirmed this matter."
"That's why we let go of all prejudices and help the Bucks achieve this final glory."
"For coaching you, and for us."
Milwaukee Bridge.
Li Lai stood in a familiar place overlooking Lake Michigan below, and the words Yi Jianlian said still echoed in his mind.
Li Lai smiled lightly, and those bastards did not disappoint him.
Of course, Westbrook may have suffered a lot of grievances here, but this is the boss of the team.
On the one hand, while enjoying the treatment that the boss is different from other players, on the other hand, he also has to bear the pain that other players have not endured.
Garcia walked up from the bottom of the bridge with a cigarette in his mouth, and his figure gradually appeared in Li Lai's vision.
"Smoking is harmful to your health, smoke less." Li Lai took the cigarette out of the other party's mouth and threw it on the ground.
Garcia let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "When I walked on the bridge, I kept thinking, the first thing you said when you saw me was to ask the Bucks or your little secretary."
"Now it seems that I was a little wrong."
Li Lai was still in the mood to joke, "Both of these things are indeed more important than you."
Garcia took a deep breath. Compared to the meeting between the two after the end of last season, only half a year later, Garcia suddenly looked much older.
He said, "Which thing do you want to hear first?"
Li Lai said: "I will listen to what you say first."
Garcia lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head and said seriously: "Your little secretary has gone to China."
"I have checked her travel records. After the last game between the Bucks and the Mavericks, she boarded the flight."
Li Lai was extremely surprised when he heard this answer. He had no idea what that little girl was doing in China, and he had never heard of any connection between her and China.
Garcia saw the puzzled expression on Li Lai's face, and he smiled and said, "I've already called the embassy, and the reason she wrote in her visa to go abroad is to see a doctor."
Li Lai remembered the perverted old man in the Milwaukee hospital who molested many nurses every day. He knew that the other party's time was running out, so he was sure when he heard the answer.
Holloway did go to China.
The purpose is also to find a doctor for her grandfather.
"It's just that what I don't understand at all is, is there any place in the world where doctors are more powerful than the United States?"
"It doesn't make any sense for her to go to China."
Garcia shrugged, his face full of disdain.
Li Lai felt that he needed to expand the blind spot of knowledge for the other party, and said: "If there is a place in this world where you can live in a daze, then it must be China."
"Do you know about cupping?"
"Wade has used it, James has used it, Gasol has used it, and Gasol has used it. You don't know the principle of cupping, and you can't tell whether cupping has a principle."
"However, it's okay to use it."
Garcia still had an expression of disbelief on his face. What kind of bullshit is cupping? He just took a mask and lit it on fire, without any scientific basis at all.
However, he has already fulfilled Li Lai's request, and in the future, only Li Lai will handle matters concerning that little girl.
Garcia still did not forget to remind Li Rai: "China is a very powerful country, and I have no way to help you anymore."
"You're looking for a needle in a haystack in a place where you've never been and someone who has no idea where it is."
"I also suggest that you don't even think about finding that little girl to settle accounts with. Just treat it like a bad person. If you lose the Bucks, you will lose it."
"Now you don't have a Hornets team."
Li Lai frowned and looked at Garcia and said, "You think I've worked so hard to find her to settle accounts?"
Garcia opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be that you still want to pick her up?"
"Don't think I don't know about all the stupid things you do, who in Milwaukee doesn't know about your dick?"
"Is there a big star named Jordan Carver in Los Angeles who is still having an affair with you? Taylor Swift's new top single, why does it have your name on the lyrics?"
Li Lai hurriedly signaled the other party to stop, but he saw that when Garcia said this, his face was obviously full of envy.
Li said another thing, "How about the Bucks?"
Garcia showed a sad face at this moment, and the Bucks are also the main reason for his recent weight loss.
"Three years later, that organization started laundering money again in Milwaukee, still with the Bucks."
1 month 3 day.
The Hornets host the Heat.
Interview before the game.
"LeBron, the Heat currently rank first in the league, and you also defeated last season's defending champion Bucks in the previous regular season."
"The teams in the league seem to have no opponents for you. This season, the Heat's championship is very good."
In the face of the reporter's compliment, James still maintained a neither humble nor overbearing mood.
Years of playoff journeys have made him very clear that all records and victories are meaningless until he wins the championship.
For the Heat's coaching staff, the battle with the Bucks may provide them with a lot of tactical value and advantages and disadvantages of the game.
But that doesn't mean you've won the championship.
James is almost 28 years old this season. He still remembers the lofty goal he set when he entered the NBA, which is to become the No.1 in NBA history.
For this goal, he has been extremely self-disciplined and scientifically trained to keep his body in top condition.
For such a long time in his career, James has never eaten red meat, and he never touches junk food. The main meals are basically chicken or beef, supplemented by salads.
How many calories and how many carbohydrates are taken in every day are strictly controlled to the extreme.
Once during a team training, James was really hungry. His teammates told him that there was pizza in the locker room, but after seeing the sausage made of pork on the pizza, James was so hungry that he didn't eat it.
"I know what I have done, and I know how hard I have worked to win the championship. I can't guarantee that the Heat will win the championship this season."
"But whether it's me or the team, we've become our best selves."
Wade on the side heaved a sigh of relief watching James' vow.
He was originally the well-deserved leader of the Heat, but because James is his good brother, he willingly handed over the leader of the team and the team's first offensive choice to him, preferring to be a green leaf.
In addition to the awareness of sacrificing everything for the championship, Wade has one more thing that he didn't tell James.
The magician Pakleli took the initiative to talk to Wade after losing in the Eastern Conference finals last season. If the Heat don't win this season, the Big Three lineup will be dismantled.
Bosh bears the brunt.
By that time, the Big Three of the Heat will be a complete league joke.
So for the glory of the team and himself, Wade is willing to give up everything, including the status of the team leader.
"Tonight, the Hornets also defeated the defending champion Bucks in the last game. Their strength seems to be underestimated by everyone."
"This team also has your good brothers, All-Star Chris Paul, and Vince Carter."
"How are you going to fight them tonight?"
James, who heard this sentence, immediately corrected the reporter who asked the question: "Not only Chris Paul and Vince Carter, this team also has an all-star coach, Li Lai."
"He got me in a lot of trouble in my career, and if it wasn't for him, I would have gotten that damn championship."
"Tonight we will go all out and never give the Hornets any respite."
Wade also echoed from the side: "The Bucks stopped us in the Eastern Conference finals last season. If the Heat can reach the finals, the Mavericks will not be our opponents."
"Li Lai and the Bucks are our enemies, they destroyed our championship."
"This season, we are here for revenge!"
The Heat's pregame interview was quickly broadcast to major news outlets.
It was originally a focus competition, because the deliberate rendering of these media has become more attention-grabbing.
