Chapter 574 I’m Going to Poison Your Nutritious Meal...!

The Lakers arrived in Portland, the City of Roses, on May 3.

The team rented a training ground to prepare for the game that day, and the next day, May 4th, was the game day. Facing what may be the weakest opponent in this playoffs, the Lakers were fully prepared, especially the profiteers in the team. .

What made the small group headed by Li Shengli become a profiteer group?

Is it poverty?

No, it’s very poor, so poor that it’s beyond style and beyond the horizon!

The loss of Li Shengli's suspension was too great, and so was Crotty's. Kobe only had only half a million after taxes, and Ben had to support his family. His mother and a dozen brothers and sisters all pointed to him to make a fortune in the NBA.

How can you support your family if you don’t make extra money?

If you insist on killing the goose to lay eggs, it will affect your own data, but that's not the case.

Because the profiteers are all well-connected, they only accept orders for a single game and not for an average game. For a long season, a slight decrease in the data for a single game has little impact, but making extra money is enough for the profiteers to squander. .

Although the current price is not expensive, raising prices is a special skill of profiteers.

…

In the Lakers locker room before the game.

The atmosphere of the meeting was quite harmonious, and everyone was cheerful. Li Shengli, Crotty and Ben sat together, quietly discussing tonight's game, and providing meticulous customer service for tonight's reservations.

As for the preparation meeting before the game.

Although the Jazz used a starting lineup of Li Shengli, Kobe, Ben, Crotty, and Horry in the last round that was both offensive and defensive, considering that the Trail Blazers are not that strong, Harris decided to start the point guard this time. Became Nick and Crotty became the backup.

There is nothing to say about this. How to start the game is the head coach’s own consideration.

On the contrary, this starter is very impressive. At least he doesn't have to say much. Nick is perfect as the starting point guard. As his first client, Li Shengli plans to let him experience... the feeling of flying.

Until Harris finished setting up and the team was about to take the field, Nick ran to Li Shengli excitedly. Li Shengli told Nick not to be excited and to trust the organization, but Nick was really excited.

…

Waited for a while.

Both sides of the game came on stage and warmed up. The Rose Garden Arena, home of the Trail Blazers, would be bustling with people. Little did they know that the Lakers, who were tumbling in the Great Salt Lake of Salt Lake City, would be preparing to play in Portland, the City of Roses. , come and destroy the flower with a ruthless hand.

As for the Blazers' starting lineup.

Center Arvydas Sabonis, a senior center from Lithuania, is known as the roof of the world.

Power forward Rasheed Wallace, a young genius with technical fouls, is a master of calling.

Small forward Clifford Robinson, the founder of the league's "Headband Gang", also has three-point ability.

As for the rest, the point guard is Kenny Anderson and the shooting guard is our old friend Isiah Leder.

…

Standing at midfield waiting for the jump ball.

Li Shengli and Sabonis looked at each other, and Li Shengli also admired this elderly center who had passed his peak. After all, he was the big brother who beat Spurs general Robinson to tears in the 1988 Olympics.

It's just embarrassing...the starting point for the roof of the world to log into the NBA is the Trail Blazers.

Here, good people can treat your disability, not to mention that Sabonis's peak period was not in the NBA. Although he is still a "newcomer" in the NBA and just entered the league last season, he is actually already in a state of injury.

Although he is not popular with Americans, Sabonis is still welcomed by a small number of fans here in Portland. Seeing Sabonis' confrontation with Li Shengli in the midfield, the Rose Garden Arena became lively in an instant.

"Sabonis, can you do it? That's Li on the other side."

"Who knows, Sabonis missed several games with the Mavericks last season and was unable to play against Lee."

"It's the same this season. He himself has missed nearly 20 games, and Li has been suspended again. Tonight is the first time they face each other."

"Don't be afraid, Sabonis' experience and skills are still there."

"Yes, he just missed the peak, otherwise Li may not be able to compete with him!"

"Come on, Sabonis, kill Li Shengli and we will win!"

"Go ahead, pioneer!"

…

The fans started shouting before the game started, and the harsh sound made the two centers dumbfounded. After nodding, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, and the game officially started.

Jump ball stage.

Sabonis did have an advantage in height at 2.21cm, but Achilles tendon and knee injuries made him a little unable to do what he expected. Li Shengli accurately dialed the ball to Nick in the air, and the first round officially began.

Nick needs a triple-double!

This was something that had been decided before, and in the first round... Li Shengli screened from a high position and pulled to the left side of the penalty area. Nick handed the ball over to him. If he tried to push it flat, the assist opportunity would be gone. So Li Shengli immediately jumped after receiving the ball and hit a mid-range shot from outside the penalty area.

Uh-huh!

The first goal was scored and the Lakers scored.

But the Blazers fans suddenly became excited at this moment, because this catch-and-shoot style of play was not common in the past, unless they encountered a tough first-line center.

…

"How did this happen?"

"Damn, something's wrong, he doesn't usually hit like this!"

"That's right, if you don't torture the opposing center until he vomits diarrhea on the spot, is he still Li Shengli?"

"He is scared, he must be scared. He is only so stable when facing a super center!"

Trail Blazers fans felt the 'confrontation fear' from Li Shengli.

But Sabonis, as a person involved, had of course studied Li Shengli before the game. He was surprised at this moment. The fans didn't know it was the fans' problem, but Sabonis himself knew it and felt the "counterpoint respect" from Li Shengli.

"Li, I'm not old yet, fight normally, don't underestimate me!"

"Huh?" Li Shengli gave Nick an assist. He was quite happy, but he was stunned when he heard Sabonis speak.

"Okay, stop pretending, let's go straight to your confrontation. This is not your usual fierce fighting style."

"Okay, let's start?"

"Okay, thank you for your respect!"

…

Li Shengli knew that Sabonis had misunderstood, but he did not explain anything.

After all, catching the ball from Nick and not taking a shot would be a waste of opportunity. However, if you want Nick's data to quickly take shape, he doesn't have to take a shot. Horry and Kobe can do it, and it's not impossible to get out of the frontcourt. Get ready for Nick.

So the game continued.

Back to the Blazers' offense, the perimeter is being organized. Sabonis was asking Li Shengli to play seriously just now, but he suddenly regretted it, because Li Shengli's detour at this time was simply bug-level, and he might still be able to stand on the top of the world for a while. battle, but now...Sabonis found that it was difficult for him to smoothly receive passes from his teammates.

In the end, it was Leder who took action.

When Ryder was beaten violently by the entire league, the more he looked at Li Shengli, the more he hated him, but he didn't dare to let him rush into the penalty area. He was really not sure whether Li Shengli, the most evil person in the league, would destroy him.

So he cooperated with his teammates and ended the offense with a breakthrough jump shot. Although the action was consistent, the shot was really weak.

A rebound?

Here comes the business!

Li Shengli and Da Ben were very excited. After all, it was their first time to place an order.

The two brothers joined forces to block the backboard position, and Nick got in through the gap, easily got the rebound, and started the Lakers' counterattack.

…

Nothing can be seen from the opening attack and defense.

But as they were playing, the Trail Blazers found that they had exploded inexplicably. Although the first ball was scored by Leder, but the efficiency after that was stabilized, and it was not weaker than in previous games, but even so... The Trail Blazers Still lagging behind, and looking at the Lakers' play is extremely weird.

In the preparation meeting before the game, the Blazers team focused on the Lakers' twin stars.

But after the opening moment, Li Shengli and Kobe didn't have anything to do with each other. On the contrary... Nick Van Exel suddenly emerged, fighting and killing all the way, and enjoyed supreme treatment.

…

"Hold the grass, Eddie, did Nick buy the supreme luxury package?" Poor Fisher was shocked.

"What, you want to try too?" Eddie glanced at Fisher.

"I think about it, why don't I want to, but they won't let me get credit and even beat me up, ah~~ I'm so miserable!"

"Ahem, credit?" Eddie was also shocked, "Damn it, we all have to pay the boss first, and you still want to take credit, why don't you get a loan?"

"Loan? That makes sense. The boss won't give me credit, so I can ask the team to advance my salary."

"Don't think about it, the boss doesn't like it at all..."

The two had just said a few words when Harris heard the noise and turned to them and asked: "Watch the game carefully, what the hell are you talking about, what boss?"

Damn it? !

Got discovered by the coach?

No, Eddie was afraid that it would affect his treatment for a while, so he immediately said: "It's Fisher, he's telling me that... his mother's boss deducted his mother's salary, yes, that's right, that's it, and then His mother forced him to go to his mother’s boss to ask for salary.”

Damn it, Eddie, you are such a beast!

Before Fisher could curse, Harris scratched his head and asked, "What's this nonsense? How can you get paid for this game? Your mother forced you to do this?"

"Yeah, that's right, his mother forced him to do it," Eddie yelled.

"Shut up, I didn't ask you, Fisher, let me ask you, did your mother force you?" Harris asked again.

Hurry!

Eddie who drafts uncle!

I'm going to poison your nutritious meal and poison you to death, you bastard!

Fisher was furious and gritted his teeth and said to Harris: "Coach, play, watch the game."

Harris sighed and said, "It doesn't matter. If you have any questions, come to me. I am the coach after all. If there is a problem, I may have a few lawyer friends who can help. Don't let your mother force you."

"Thank you...I thank you!"
