Start without the ball

Chapter 18 Gentlemen's Agreement
When the red light came on and the game was over, the Thunder players rushed to George and surrounded him in the center.

George remained motionless, letting his teammates hug and push him, staring at the camera in front of him, his cold eyes revealing the temperament of a killer.

In the first game of the new season, George surrendered a perfect data of 36 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, and this lore also declared the Thunder's strong return after being eliminated in the first round of last season.

Westbrook was injured, and George did carry the team.

However, Li Haoyu also contributed a lot to winning this game. He started the frenzy of chasing points at the end of the third quarter by himself. At the critical moment, when George was in a hard fight, he threw away Thompson through his exquisite running position and made a hit. A crucial three-pointer.

In this campaign, Li Haoyu played 14 minutes and made 11 of 8 shots, including 7 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal very efficiently.

On the other hand, Li Haoyu's opponent, Klay Thompson, only made 17 of 5 shots and 8 of 1 three-pointers, scoring only 13 points.

He didn't perform well, and the team lost. Thompson was about to walk back to the player tunnel with a depressed face, but was caught by the reporter and stayed for an interview.

Although he was very reluctant, Thompson has always been very professional, and accepting interviews is also part of his work. After adjusting his state, he started the interview.

Reporter: "Talk about George's killer shot."

Thompson: "The game is like this. Sometimes you have the last chance to attack, and George just hit it, but the situation will definitely be different next time. We will beat them."

Reporter: "You had a lead of as much as 15 points in this game, why didn't you maintain the point difference?"

Thompson: "We played too badly in the transitional period at the end of the third quarter. We didn't suppress the offense of Thunder No. 7. He is like a fox, very cunning, and can always bite you when you are not paying attention."

Reporter: "Do you know his name?"

Thompson: "It seems to be Li? I remember him, and next time I won't let him score like today."

Reporter: "You only scored 13 points today. Is it because you are not in good shape at the beginning of the new season?"

Thompson: "I don't know why, when I'm running without the ball, Lee can always guess my running position. When I receive the ball, the defense is also in place. It's very uncomfortable."

Reporter: "Okay, thank you for accepting the interview, I hope your upcoming games will go well."

On the other side, when Li Haoyu was about to go back to the locker room, someone behind him patted his shoulder, and when he looked back, it was a barbecue.

Barbecue dyed his brown hair back, dressed in formal attire, and asked with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, please stop by, can I interview you?"

Li Haoyu: "Aren't you going to find George? This guy is a lore today."

The barbeque food guide pointed at Li Haoyu's chest: "This product has recovered 15 points."

Barbecue continued with his hands on his hips, "If you don't want to listen, I'll interview you."

Ah, it's getting arrogant.

Li Haoyu shook his head with a smile: "Don't be too tricky."

Barbecue: "I'll take care of Mengxin, just don't be nervous."

After a short wait, the director signaled that the interview could begin.

Barbecue: "First of all, congratulations on winning the game and dedicating a wonderful game to us. At the end of the third quarter, you led the Thunder to start a wave of chasing points. How did you do it?"

Li Haoyu: "emmm, we started with defense first. You can see that I stole a pass after I came on the court. Grant's dunk shocked our morale, and then our offense opened up."

With this steal, Li Haoyu can indeed say that starting from defense, he must first give the fans the impression that he is defensive.

However, Li Haoyu would not discuss such things as being unable to prevent Livingston from back-hitting, and being pulled out by Brother Zaozi at a critical moment.

Well, don't even think about it.

Barbecue: "You scored 20 points today, are you satisfied with your debut?"

Li Haoyu: "Very satisfied. Winning is the most important thing. I am very happy to help the team. If I score 20 points but lose the game, the loss outweighs the gain. Fortunately, we are very lucky today."

Barbecue: "Your air cuts and off-the-ball moves are very exciting today. Can you tell us what is the trick?"

Li Haoyu did not expect that the barbecue sister would ask about the running position. In terms of running position, I, Li Never Hold the Ball, Haoyu is not targeting anyone.

"Train hard and pay attention to every detail when running. I also recommend every friend who plays to practice running, because as long as you get a chance to make a move through running, no matter how many shots you make, your teammates will not feel that you are smart.
Well, everyone thinks your shot is reasonable."

Barbecue: "Okay, thanks Li Haoyu for accepting this interview, let's go back to the studio."

The interview was over, and the barbecue sister let out a sigh of relief, took the bag from the cameraman, took out the Thunder jersey and said to Li Haoyu:
"Hey, No. 7, I'm wearing this to watch the game. I was so excited when you made that three-pointer at the end. The Warriors fans next to me looked at me like a duo."

Li Haoyu: "Why would you think of wearing my jersey? This is the home of the Warriors."

"Ah, this... I like blue, and number 7 is my lucky number, so... I'll wear it."

Li Haoyu: "Do you have a pen?"

Of course Barbecue knew what Li Haoyu was going to do, so he quickly took out a marker pen from his bag.

Li Haoyu took the marker pen, turned the barbecue on his back, stuck the jersey on his back, and wrote on the jersey with a smirk.

Picking up the barbecue in anticipation, it turned out that it was written on the jersey

Stupid ha.

The barbecue was a little angry, stomping his feet and shouting loudly:

"Li Hao Yu!"

Li Haoyu quickly explained: "You are a famous reporter. Wearing the away team's jersey at home is not stupid, what is it? Do you still want to have a meal?"

Barbecue also knew that he was being abrupt, but he was unwilling to have his little expectations ruined by this stinky man.

He muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if he wasn't photographed again."

Li Haoyu: "Okay, don't be so stupid next time, I'm leaving."

After speaking, Li Haoyu went straight to the players' tunnel, leaving behind the barbecue.

Barbecue watched Li Haoyu's back disappear from sight, picked up the jersey and looked at it.

"what"

She found that Li Haoyu had drawn a little grimace with his tongue sticking out next to Stupid Ha.

Most of the anger was gone after seeing the little grimace barbecue.

"The painting is quite beautiful, forget it, my sister forgives you."

Holding the jersey in his arms, he left the arena happily.

As soon as Li Haoyu arrived in the locker room, Grant came over and patted Li Haoyu on the shoulder and said:

"You owe me two servings now, ah no, it's three servings of fried rice."

? ? ? ?
Li Haoyu is not happy anymore. Grant has a big appetite, so he can't be spoiled.

During the offseason, I should be more restrained, knowing that I will go to eat once every three or four days, why is it so blatant at the beginning of the regular season.

Li Haoyu: "Why are there only three servings? I'm not your nutritionist."

Grant: "It's counted as a make-up defense, and it's counted once to get back your hard-hitting rebounds. You scored 20 points today. I only scored 2 points in my first game as a rookie that year. I was not happy, so it counts as one."

Shameless!This is already a trick to trick Li Haoyu into making fried rice for him.

Li Haoyu: "You just signed a big contract, is it difficult to find a nutritionist who can cook fried rice?"

Grant: "I don't care, I just want to eat your fried rice."

Li Haoyu suddenly thought of something, pulled Grant aside and whispered:

"You have signed a big contract. Some statistics are not so important this year. According to the coach, we should both play at the same time. Can you let me have 1 or 2 backcourt rebounds?"

Grant thought for a while, pointed to Adams secretly and said:
"You mean get stuck in position like him, you come and take the rebound?"

Li Haoyu: "Yes, that's what it means. It doesn't need to be too much, just give 1 or 2 per game."

Grant: "Why do you need rebounds as a guard?"

It's time to show the self-cultivation of the dramatist.

Li Haoyu Kazilan's big eyes were full of tears, and said with a helpless and pitiful look:
"As soon as I lose the draft, I have a basic salary contract that can be sacked as soon as I say it. Can I do it without some data?"

Grant couldn't stop drooling at the thought of fried rice, and then thought about his three-year contract of 2700 million yuan. The position is very stable, and it doesn't matter if there are fewer backcourt rebounds. Then he said:
"At most one per game. If I want to eat fried rice in the future, you have to make it for me."

Li Haoyu: "You can't come here every day."

Grant: "Deal!"

The two made a high-fiving alliance, and this gentleman (P) son (Y) agreement (transaction) transaction was concluded in this way.

Grant handed over one in every game, and he was lucky enough to pick up one. Wouldn't that be 150 rebounds beckoning not far away?
I was very excited just thinking about it, Li Haoyu hummed a ditty and went to take a bath.
