Chapter 241 Take a look at the daughter-in-law
Before Duffy could answer, the speech was over.

All the players, coaching staff, staff and family members of the Heat boarded the luxury carnival ship of the boss company.

Li's father and Li's mother are also among them.

Duffy didn't have a chance to answer for a while, because there were so many people.

It's best not to let other people hear it.

Li Lei followed the team to climb the cruise ship.

This cruise ship is much bigger than the one last summer.

It seems that the Heat won the championship, and Mickey Arison was also very happy, and he spared no expense to reward everyone.

This cruise ship is horribly big, a real big thing.

And the facilities are complete, chess and card room, basketball court, dance hall, swimming pool, cinema, game room... only what you can't think of, nothing it doesn't have.

Moreover, Li Lei discovered that there were not only Heat players on the cruise ship, but also many businessmen, politicians, celebrities...

As for some unknown stars, young third-tier models...there are countless of them.

Moreover, these beauties are dressed in extremely cool clothes, which are extraordinarily alluring, making people dazzled.

As soon as O'Neill and Damon come up, their eyes are straight, and they are LSPs in real life.

Summer in Miami is so beautiful!

But Li Lei was still not used to it, so he took Duffy to change into his training clothes, and went to the indoor basketball court on the ship together.

This may be the most deserted place on the whole cruise ship.

"Boss, are you still not used to it? This is the life of a rich man! And you are also a rich man."

Duffy sneered.

Li Lei faced Duffy, turned around, and dunked directly on the head of the former NCAA scoring leader.

boom!
"Of course I know!"

Li Lei hugged the basketball and said calmly: "I also know that these are brought to me by basketball."

After the words fell, Li Lei directly bukkake in front of Duffy.

Swish!
Duffy's skills are quite good, otherwise it would not be possible to become the scoring leader of the NCAA team.

But now that he is old and fat, how can he beat Li Lei.

"Boss, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you really love basketball."

"However, basketball is not everything. Life needs other things, like love."

Duffy sneered.

boom!
Li Lei dunks on Duffy again.

Afterwards, the two chatted about the previous topic while fighting the bull.

"According to my calculations, Riley will send old Jones away this offseason."

"The old Jones' contract is big, but his performance is not good enough for the contract. The price/performance ratio is too low, and he is no longer suitable for the current Heat team."

Li Lei nodded.

Ah!
The current Heat team needs players with high cost performance.

Just a little reluctant.

In the past two years, Old Jones gave Li Lei a lot of help.

For example, when he lost to the Pistons for the first time, Old Jones told Li Lei how to accept the defeat and work hard to win back.

However, emotion is no match for reality after all.

"As for the boss, you, O'Neal, and Wade will stay. After all, the three of you are the cornerstone of the team. No championship team will voluntarily give up the cornerstone. What's more, you and Wade will still be rookies next year. contract."

"As for the role players, I don't know how many Riley can keep. But it doesn't matter, with the three of you here, there will be a large number of people willing to come to the Heat to be gilded."

"The next offseason is the key!"

In the next offseason, Li Lei's contract will expire.

The Heat will face a brutal choice.

"First of all, we need to clarify one thing."

Duffy said: "O'Neal won't go, you and Wade must go!"

Li Lei: "..."

He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Emotionally, he doesn't want any of his teammates to be sent away.

But with rational judgment, he felt that O'Neill should be sent away the most.

In the next offseason, O'Neal will be 35 years old, with a salary of 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the price/performance ratio should be the lowest.

This season, O'Neal has actually experienced a significant decline in his state, but he can barely maintain his state by relying on Riley's devil training and fat control.

By the next offseason, O'Neal's state was even worse.

One is the problem of age, one is Riley's devil training.

The devil trains this thing, just like a man who eats "Viagra", it just drains a player's future state in a short period of time.

O'Neal was squeezed out for one or two seasons, and he would definitely not be able to hold on after that.

Duffy shook his head: "It is precisely because of the low cost performance that no one wants O'Neill. Who would be willing to be a fool to take over the pot? Yes, of course I want the best. I want you or Wade."

"In addition, to take O'Neal away, you have to send a bunch of chips. With you and Wade, it is another strong team that can win the championship. Even if someone takes advantage of it, the league will not agree."

Li Lei nodded.

Duffy still has experience and hits the nail on the head.

Taking advantage of Li Lei's thinking, Duffy suddenly steals the ball from Li Lei's hand, then goes to the basket and scores a layup.

However, at this moment, a big hand took the basketball away from behind Duffy.

Grab the hat!

Duffy: "..."

It's a pity that he can't scold shit, otherwise he would scold him three times in a row.

"Boss, you are too perverted! I feel that you have grown taller this season."

Li Lei nodded: "I'm only 20 years old, I'll grow a little bit. I haven't measured it recently, but it's already taller than Udonis (Haslem, 203cm)."

Duffy took a few breaths and went back to the topic.

"We just made one thing clear. If the Heat can't send O'Neal away, they can only send one of you and Wade away."

"Then who do you think Riley will send away?"

Li Lei didn't say a word, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and signaled Duffy to continue.

In terms of trading, Duffy is more experienced.

Duffy: "Based on what I know of Riley, this guy is the last one who likes to lose money. No matter what the deal is, he likes to take advantage of it."

"Then from this perspective, you must be the one who left."

Li Lei frowned: "Continue!"

Duffy: "The Heat have two options next summer. A is to renew your contract directly, and B is to sign first and then trade you away."

"According to plan A, I will renew your contract next summer. When Wade's contract expires in the summer of the following year, the Heat will have no salary space. Then, the Heat can only watch Wade leave in vain."

"According to plan B, next summer, the Heat will sign with you first and then trade. You can exchange a bunch of first-round picks and a bunch of first-round trading rights. Then in the summer of the following year, the Heat can keep Wade."

After saying this, Duffy closed his mouth and let Li Lei think for himself.

In fact, the two options are clear at a glance.

Plan A, the Heat are at a disadvantage.

Plan B is to maximize the benefits of the Heat.

How the "magic operator" Pat Riley will choose, in fact, there is no suspense.

call!
Li Lei let out a long breath.

Unexpectedly, next season will be his last year in Miami!

Although I have known for a long time that the NBA is a commercial league and players are commodities, but when it is my turn, I am still a little sad.

But Li Lei was very fortunate, Duffy told him this, at least he was mentally prepared.

Li Lei showed a helpless smile.

Ultimately, it's about accepting reality.

Seeing Li Lei smile, Duffy knew that Li Lei wanted to understand.

"Boss, no matter what, you have to play well next season. For players, strength is everything. The performance of the next season determines where you can go next season and what you can do in other teams." What kind of status."

Li Lei nodded.

He knew this when he first entered the league, strength is the most important thing.

"Don't worry, I won't be depressed. Next season, I will be a stat brush!"

Hahaha!
The two laughed.

"there's one more thing."

Li Lei suddenly thought: "Bill, two days ago, Yi Jianlian called me and wanted to participate in the next draft. That guy is very shy and doesn't understand anything. You need to work harder."

Duffy nodded.

With the relationship between Yao Ming and Li Lei, Chinese players will basically be willing to sign with Bill Duffy.

"Don't worry, Yi is a very talented player, and I will help him get a good draft pick."

Li Lei nodded: "The pick is second, the key is the opportunity to play."

Just like Li Lei, the 15th pick in the second round and the 44th overall pick, this is a very poor pick.

But at that time, the Heat's starting small forward Caron Butler was injured, and Li Lei got the chance to start from the beginning.

Such a golden start is very important for players.

Let's talk about Dakomilicic, he is second in the list, the pick is good, but he has no chance to play at all.

"Okay, boss!"

Duffy nodded.

Afterwards, the two started a bullfight again, having a great time.

……

A few minutes later, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the indoor basketball hall.

Li Lei and Duffy looked over together.

Li Lei frowned: Who will come here at this time?

A petite woman appeared in Li Lei's vision.

Caucasian, less than 1.6 meters tall, looks particularly petite.

A head of colorful hair, but now tied up, it looks capable.

Look toned in comfortable tracksuits with a headband.

Avril Lavigne!

Li Lei recognized it.

The first time I went to the Staples Center to play, Odom introduced it.

That lsp, even the date of someone's birthday is clear.

Li Lei remembered it clearly because their birthdays were so close.

Li Lei was born on July 1984, 7.

Avril Lavigne was born on September 1984, 9.

Only two months away.

And Avril Lavigne is not the kind of low-level starlet, she became famous when she was young. In 2003-2004, he was nominated for Grammy 9 times in two years.

To be honest, Avril Lavigne is more famous than Li Lei.

Plus, Avril Lavigne loves to watch the games, and she has a permanent seat at the Staples Center.

This is all Li Lei knows.

Seeing Li Lei and Duffy, Avril's eyes were also washed.

"Hello, Stone."

"Avril, you're good too. Do you recognize me?"

Avril Lavigne showed a sweet smile: "I like basketball games. You are the best player this year, FMVP. How could I not know you? No wonder you have improved so fast. You just won the championship and everyone is celebrating. You started practicing again gone."

Li Lei nodded: "You are also the best singer in recent years. I like the songs in your two albums "Let Go" and "Under My Skin" very much."

"is it?"

Avril laughed even more happily: "However, let's stop flattering each other and play ball together!"

Hahaha!
Li Lei: "Okay! To be honest, I don't want to say these polite words."

Avril Lavigne: "That's good. But you have to teach me, I'm not good at playing."

"It's ok."

Li Lei nodded.

No matter how well you fight, you are useless in front of me. Is there a difference?
Li Lei complained in his heart.

Then, the two started playing ball.

After playing a few rounds, Li Lei found that Avril Lavigne was better than he imagined. At least she was proficient in dribbling, three-step layups, and shooting. It looked like she had been practiced.

So Li Lei took it a little more seriously, and took advantage of the opportunity to play a dunk.

Avril looked envious, but she looked at her body: "In my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to dunk."

Li Lei shook his head, it's actually very simple, I can help you.

"really?"

Avril was surprised.

Li Lei nodded: "I'll hug you..."

Having said that, Li Lei suddenly shut up.

I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say such things when we meet for the first time.

Seeing Li Lei's shy look, Avril put her hands on her hips and laughed.

"I've heard that you Orientals are shy, and it's true. I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

"Of course I'm not afraid!"

In front of a woman, how could Li Lei admit cowardice.

So, he raised Avril Lavigne who was holding the ball high.

Avril touched Li Lei's biceps: "You athletes are really strong!"

"You are too light."

Li Lei returned.

After the words fell, Li Lei walked to the basket.

Avril Lavigne raised the basketball high and smashed it into the basket with ease.

After landing, Avril screamed and jumped happily: "I dunked! I dunked! Hahaha! Do it again! Do it again!"

While the two were enjoying themselves, the door of the indoor basketball court opened again.

A head poked out from behind the door.

Li Lei was hugging Avril, when he saw the person coming, he was shocked: "Mom!?"

Mother Li couldn't stop laughing: "Leave me alone! I just heard Bill say: You are here to practice, so I brought you some water."

Mother Li put the sports drink on the ground at the door, and kept waving her hands: "Go ahead, leave me alone, just pretend I haven't been here, hahahaha."

Send me some water, why are you smiling so ambiguously?

There must be a misunderstanding.

Li Lei walked over and was about to explain.

Mother Li slammed the door shut.

As if she was afraid that Li Lei would come out, Mother Li pulled the door a few more times, closing the door tightly.

Li Lei shook his head helplessly, and picked up the two bottles of drinks on the ground.

Why are there only two bottles?

He, Avril Lavigne, and Duffy are three people.

But Li Lei looked back: Duffy is gone?
"When did Bill leave?"

Li Lei handed Avril a bottle of drink.

Avril shook her head: "I don't know, maybe we had too much fun playing ball."

Li Lei nodded and suddenly realized that there were only the two of them left in the room.

A man and a woman, in the same room.

a little nervous.

Outside the door, Father Li wanted to open the door: "Have you seen it? I want to take a look at my daughter-in-law too."

Mother Li: "What are you looking at? Don't disturb my son!"

Father Li: "..."

Can you be reasonable?

You can see it, but I see it as an interruption?
