NBA basketball rhythm monster

As part of the team's public relations, maintaining the image of the players is also something the team should do.

The popularity of Li Luo's report was obviously too high. In this case, general manager Danny Ainge has begun to ask friends in the media to help understand the truth of the matter. Mr. Auerbach, who returned to Boston, also told the local media to unify

Don't put too much pressure on Luo Li. He doesn't want to repeat what happened in Orlando and force Luo Li away abruptly.

Even if Li Luo doesn't know what the management is doing outside the basketball court, he is not deaf or blind. Although the overwhelming doubts in the newspapers have not affected Li Luo's training status, a group of flies are buzzing around you all day long.

Flying is ultimately unpleasant.

The best way to break doubts is to win the next game. As the old saying goes, no one celebrates when they lose, just like no one reflects on when they win.

Just when Li Luo finished the afternoon group training and was preparing to relax before the game for the evening game, the phone rang.

"Hey, Li Luo, I knew you would definitely make a big difference in the NBA."

The familiar voice sounded again, bringing Luo Li back to that exciting March Madness.

"Coach Barnes?" Li Luo was very surprised.

"You haven't forgotten me, have you? Haha." The voice on the other end of the phone was very happy: "Several of your old teammates are here, see you if you have nothing to do?"

When Li Luo heard this, he quickly took a shower and left the training hall.

This time the Longhorns team came out in full force, including several of Li Luo's teammates, Cooper and Wilson. There were also several first-year players who were new to the team and looked at Li Luo with stars in their eyes.

Except for Coach Barnes, Cooper was the happiest person in the group. He gave Li Luo a big hug as soon as they met. But now Cooper has gained nearly 30 pounds after not seeing each other for a year...

He was already overweight and almost turned into a ball. Li Luo didn't even recognize it was Cooper at first.

"Cooper, you haven't played anymore?" Li Luo asked nonsense, but Coach Barnes said with slight disgust:

"At the beginning of the new season, this kid gained more than ten pounds during a holiday. Even basic running is a problem."

"Haha, I think life is going pretty well. I already have a championship, so what do I expect? Now Coach Barnes has arranged for me to become the assistant coach of the Longhorns. I quite like this job."

This is the final destination of most basketball players. There are only about 400 players in the 30 NBA teams, and 60 people have to be selected every year to add fresh blood. In terms of the size of American college students, all NBA players can be called

In one sentence, people are like dragons and phoenixes.

And Cooper's future is pretty good. He is not very talented, and he joined the basketball team purely because he is tall. Now he is gradually getting familiar with the work of the team's coaching staff while he is in school, and he will not be able to do it after graduation.

Worry has nowhere to go.

What's more, Cooper, who has already tasted victory, has nothing to complain about in his playing career.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Coach Barnes took the initiative to ask Li Luo how his recent training status was.

Obviously, he has seen many reports in the media.

"It's not bad. I just haven't had a good rest today after playing in Dallas yesterday. This is a damn back-to-back."

"That's good. Now everyone is saying that you have hit the rookie wall. Is it really okay?"

"Coach, you still don't believe me? It's not like you don't know my character. The rookie wall? It doesn't exist."

Li Luo's confidence reassured Coach Barnes a lot, but he still warned Li Luo carefully:

"Needless to say, the strength of the defending champion, especially the person you have to deal with... Anyway, I wish you good luck, we will watch you from the stands." As he said, Coach Barnes

Pointing to a certain area in the stands, it was a good seat near the front row. It seemed that Coach Barnes still had a good relationship with the Spurs and could get tickets.

Li Luo doesn't know how difficult the Spurs are to beat, especially the dominance of the Spurs' undisputed leader Tim Duncan in the game makes him quite afraid.

However, there are rumors from the media outside and there are friends inside watching the game. I have to win this game no matter what.

During the warm-up time before the game, the Celtics and Spurs had a face-to-face meeting.

Unexpectedly, Duncan still remembered his little-known self last season. Although Li Luo only spent a few minutes in the Spurs' substitute training when he was in college last year, Tim Duncan was deeply impressed by this young man who is from the same hometown as Battelle.

It seems like...this guy has more hair now than he did then?

Watching his idol become his rival was an amazing experience for Luo Li.

Li Luo looked at the legendary No. 4 position in front of him and secretly suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart. Then he turned around and ran to the locker room, waiting for the game to start.

"Hey, boys, as you know, the team's situation is not very optimistic now. After two consecutive losses, our record has reached 6 wins and 4 losses. We have slipped from second place in the Eastern Conference to fourth place. If we lose again,

It will fall to sixth place in the Eastern Conference." In the locker room, coach O'Brien was analyzing the team's ranking situation with the soldiers.

"It's not optimistic. Boys, you don't want to wake up and see a different person as the head coach, right?"

O'Brien's words made everyone smile, who had their heads down in the face of a strong opponent. Although this coach did not have very good on-the-spot reaction ability during the game, his diligent work before the game still won everyone's respect. In addition,

It's not too pretentious and the staff is pretty nice.

Seeing that everyone was smiling, O'Brien doubled down and promised the team members:

"Right now, the Spurs are a bit difficult to beat, but we are not easy to mess with either. We have to win a game at the end of our trip to Texas, right?"

"I declare that if I win this game, I will give everyone two days off before playing the next game in Washington, and I will treat you to a meal."

Now everyone was even happier. When they heard that there was a holiday and a big meal, everyone's morale was shaken.

"Go, let's have a good time in San Antonio...gogogogo!!!"

Li Luo was also eagerly looking forward to the game. He jumped up from the bench in the locker room and prepared to fight.

"Pierce, hurry up...what are you waiting for?"

The players in the locker room were almost gone, and several staff members began to collect towels and water bottles. Seeing Pierce still wandering on the bench, Li Luo urged him to come on quickly.

"Hey, you go first. I'll come right after I put on my shoes."

"It's strange. What did Pierce, who is usually the first to play, do today? Is he hungry?" Li Luo inexplicably remembered some jokes from his previous life.

"Then hurry up, it will be embarrassing if you wait until the time for the home players to enter."

Pierce nodded in agreement. After Li Luo disappeared into the locker room for a while, Pierce said to coach O'Brien who was still writing on the tactical board:

"Coach, let's plan more of Li Luo's tactics this time and make his statistics better. If we lose... I will take responsibility."
