I just play ball

Chapter 99 New Missions
Seeing the basketball hit the net, Li Yueyang clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and waved it fiercely to vent.

"Okay, very good, very good!" O'Neal suppressed his excitement, "The Lakers are one step closer to winning the second half of the championship in NBA history. They will continue to create miracles. Li Yue has thoroughly proved himself."

"From the perspective of statistics, he averaged 34.6 points and 12.1 assists per game in this round of the series, comparable to Allen Iverson in the 04-05 season. He also officially entered the ranks of super giants with this round of the series." Kenny said , "He has the opportunity to compete for the MVP in the new season, but fast-improving players may not be able to get it."

"Thanks to the Spurs for the wonderful performance," Ernie said, "Congratulations to the Los Angeles fans, let's celebrate wildly."

"Don't get too excited." Barkley smirked. "The game between the Thunder and the Clippers is underway. There may be a derby. It will take a lot of physical strength."

inside the field.

After celebrating with his teammates, Li Yue pushed through the crowd and walked towards the Spurs' half court, where he was the first to meet Leonard.

He smiled and raised his hand, "Your tight defense makes me very uncomfortable. I will work hard to improve my strength and confrontation in the off-season. I look forward to playing against you again. At that time, I will force my back."

Leonard hesitated for a while and stretched out his hand, "Your simple offense makes me uncomfortable. I will work hard to improve in the off-season. I look forward to playing against you again, and then I will beat you."

"Then what are you going to practice?" Li Yue thought that Leonard might say some flattering superficial words like 'Congratulations', but when he heard such a funny answer, he couldn't help but want to find out.

"Secret!" Leonard strode away.

Li Yue spread his hands, turned and continued to move forward, and he met Duncan just two steps away.

Two people bumped shoulders to pay tribute, Duncan patted his head, "Young man, you played very well, in the future..."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Li Yue rushed to respond, happy that he got the same evaluation as LeBron.

Duncan showed doubts on his face, and then said: "I will take revenge in the future, and I look forward to fighting you again."

Hearing this, Li Yue realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately laughed out loud to resolve the embarrassment, and raised his hands and clapped his hands in greeting.

Duncan walked away in a daze, Li Yue saw that Popovich was free, and ran up to greet him.

"Boy, I admire you very much. Are you interested in coming to San Antonio to develop? As long as you come, you will be the boss of the team, and we will all follow your command." Popovich smiled, "Seat the No.1 position in team history."

This was obviously a joke. Li Yue thought for a while and snapped his fingers, "It's totally OK. I'll go there when I help the Lakers win ten championships. I will definitely do what I say. I like the grilled fish at Bliss Restaurant very much."

"Then I'll wait for you!" Popovich pretended to be serious, and the two embraced.

Li Yue shook hands with Parker, Ginobili, Bonner and other players one by one, and also specially shook hands with Budenholzer, Brett Brown and other assistant coaches. After all the Spurs related personnel left the field, he walked through the crowd to Kobe's side Raise your right hand high.

"Congratulations on scoring 30 points and achieving a perfect comeback."

"Congratulations on scoring 33 points and leading the team to advance."

"You're too humble."

"Don't be humble."

After two years of acquaintance, they smiled, raised their hands and clapped their shoulders, and patted each other on the back.Seven or eight photographers gave various close-ups, the DJ turned off the dynamic reverberation music, and the picture was played on the central big screen, and the audience cheered and shouted.

Public relations president Blake came up and informed the two to be interviewed together, followed by TNT reporter Maggio.

"The Lakers have gone through 6 fierce battles and finally successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Congratulations. How do you feel now?"

"Shuang!" Li Yue yelled in Chinese, his voice spread throughout the arena, and the audience imitated in unison.

"I think it's very dreamy. The Spurs' record in the regular season is second in the Western Conference. We also suffered from various injuries. It all depends on Li Yue to lead the team to resist the pressure. The whole process is like an inspirational movie." Kobe said, "I believe the Lakers Fans feel the same way."

Maggio nodded, "You fell behind by 10 points at the beginning, and then quickly recovered. What happened in the middle?"

Kobe scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I played poorly at that time. Fortunately, Li Yue discovered the loopholes in the Spurs' defense and proposed a solution in time. I also got time to slowly adapt to the rhythm of the game and gradually regain my form."

Maggio nodded, "In the last 5 minutes of the game, you were 11 points behind. What were you thinking?"

Li Yue curled his lips proudly, "We firmly believe that we can tie, and none of us feel panicked."

Maggio raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so confident?"

"Because he's back." Li Yue's wrist is Kobe Bryant's shoulder, "and he's still a Spurs killer."

After the words fell, the audience shouted Kobe's name in unison, and Kobe raised his right hand and waved his thanks.

Maggio had an expression of 'You really know how to flatter', "What did you think when you made the final kill?"

Kobe pointed to the big screen in the center, "I'm ready to celebrate, and I know it's a hit when I see him take the ball."

The large screen in the center immediately switched to the lore shot. The screen showed that while Li Yue was holding the ball, Kobe raised his hands and walked back, as if he knew in advance that he would hit, and there was no nervous expression in his eyes.

Li Yue knew that this meant that Kobe believed in himself [-]%, and was so touched that he clapped his hands again.

"What were you thinking?" Maggio pressed.

Li Yue shrugged, "I was driven by instinct to shoot, and I didn't think much about it. I have shot this kind of ball too many times."

Maggio was stunned when he heard the words, with an expression of 'you are pretending too much', but then he thought of something, and then showed an expression of 'it is true that you are cruel', "OK, thank you for accepting the interview, congratulations to the Lakers again Western Conference Finals."

Cheers sounded again in the arena. Li Yue and Kobe came to the sidelines, took other Lakers together, and thanked the audience. The atmosphere in the Staples Center seemed to return to the period of the second consecutive championship.

After giving thanks, everyone returned to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.

Li Yue got it done as soon as possible, crossed his legs and waited for the reporter to conduct a post-match interview. Just as he was about to pull out his mobile phone to check Twitter, assistant coach Phil Webber rushed in, went straight to the TV, picked up the remote control and adjusted to the ESPN channel.

Li Yue looked down and found that the Thunder was preparing to execute the final attack and was currently 3 points behind the Clippers.

"Do you think you can tie?" Phil asked.

As soon as the words fell, Kevin Martin made a mistake in catching the ball, and the basketball flew to the backcourt.

The Thunder team watched the time run out, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-1.

"That's okay?" Phil was surprised.

Li Yue got up and clapped his hands, "The new mission has arrived, let's study how to beat the Clippers."
