Chapter 390 Regulating State

In the first year of the "To Love" group, they led the team to the finals, and swept the opponents strongly, which reminded the fans of the once invincible team, the Miami Heat.

But now, the 76ers sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, comfortably blowing on the air conditioner, eating ice cream, and watching the fierce battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

The fifth battle of the Western Conference Finals is also the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Popovich continued to adopt the wheel-to-wheel defensive strategy against Li Lei and achieved success again.

李磊全场27投12中，三分球7中2，罚球7中6，得到32分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽。

The data is not bad, but the efficiency continues to decline.

The Grizzlies also lost the Tianwangshan battle 87:101.

Big score 2:3!

The Grizzlies were pushed to the brink.

Because the Grizzlies lost two consecutive games, there were also some discordant voices on social platforms.

"See now? Stone doesn't deserve to be compared with Jordan at all."

"Without Wade and O'Neal, Li Lei is nothing."

"Big data brush!"

"Young! Too young! Stone is still too young!"

……

Lori and Guy, who are keen to read the news, read these comments for the first time. They were worried that Li Lei would feel uncomfortable when they saw it, and wanted to comfort Li Lei.

As a result, a group of veterans Tyronn Lue and Old Jones all laughed.

Hahahaha!

Guy and Lori were a little confused, but it was Zhu Fangyu who was stupid and boldly asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Old Jones shook his head and said with a smile, "You silly kids, if you were being compared to Jordan at the age of 22, what would you think?"

Guy, Lowry, and Zhu Fangyu really brought themselves into it. If it were me, I would be compared to the god of basketball at the age of 22...

The hearts of the three newcomers were beating violently, their brains were congested, their faces were flushed, and they were trembling with excitement.

That's not a criticism, it's an honor.

It is an honor to be compared with Jordan!
Guy, Lori, and Zhu Fangyu were all too excited.

Old Jones and Tyronn Lue laughed even more happily when they saw this scene.

These little guys are so young, they dare to think about anything.

For them, they know a lot, but they dare not even think about it.

But when Old Jones turned his head, he found that Li Lei, the protagonist of this incident, was silent and thoughtful.

Players leave the locker room one by one.

Old Jones deliberately stayed and stayed with Li Lei.

"Stone, what are you thinking?"

After everyone had left, Old Jones touched Li Lei with his arm and asked.

Li Lei woke up from his contemplation, and he was relieved when he saw that only he and old Jones were left in the locker room.

There were too many people talking just now, and Li Lei had some difficult words to say.

But now that only old Jones is left, Li Lei doesn't have so many scruples.

The two have been teammates for many years since the Heat, and they have a close relationship.Moreover, Li Lei knew old Jones well, knew that he was not a big mouther, and his character was guaranteed.

Li Lei then asked: "Eddie, do you think that if it was Jordan, he could lead the Grizzlies better than me?"

Old Jones: "..."

With just this one question, old Jones understood Li Lei's thoughts.

Li Lei is humble on the surface, and respects and awes Jordan very much in front of the media.

But in private, Li Lei is not afraid of Jordan. He regards Jordan as his goal and wants to surpass him.

Good guy!I'm direct good guy!

How dare you dare to compete with the god of basketball!

Old Jones looked at Li Lei in surprise.

Li Lei immediately understood what Old Jones was thinking, and said calmly, "Eddie, do you always think that we Chinese are humble and polite, peace-loving and dislike competition?"

Old Jones nodded decisively.

However, Li Lei shook his head: "Then you may have to get to know me again today. There is a great man in my hometown. He said: I want to compete with the God of Heaven!"

"God, how dare you compare! Jordan, what is it?"

"Jordan is also a human being, with two eyes and one mouth. Why should I be afraid of him?"

"Everyone says I'm not as good as him, so I have to compare myself to him!"

……

Old Jones was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Napoleon said: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"

"Although the momentum of these words is not as good as that great man in your hometown, the thoughts are probably the same."

"What else can I say? Come on, I will always support you."

……

Two days later, the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals began. According to the 22111 format, the sixth game was played in Memphis.

Li Lei applied to the team to conduct closed training before the sixth game and did not accept any interviews.

Li Lei has to prepare for the game with all his heart.

Even CCTV reporters, Li Lei's acquaintances Zhang Weiping and Su Qun, were only allowed to follow up and interview, but were not allowed to ask questions or interfere with Li Lei's daily life.

The Grizzlies will naturally not refuse.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were also afraid of disturbing Li Lei, so they obediently agreed, but quietly recorded Li Lei's daily life before G6 with the camera.

In the past two days, Li Lei reduced his training time to only three hours a day.

An hour of three-point shooting, an hour of defensive footwork, and an hour of team work.

Li Lei spent more time on the bed.

Li Lei sleeps more than 10 hours a day, and falls asleep as soon as he touches the bed, quickly entering a deep sleep.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun cautiously exited the room, closed the door softly, and discussed in low voices: "Stone is so tired, it hurts when he touches the bed."

"Yeah, there is at least Iverson in Dayao, who can share the pressure on Yao Ming. Gasol's level on Stone's side is much worse. After Stone is off the court, Gasol is obviously not good at leading the team, so he can only be forced to Let the stone play more."

"In the first round of the playoffs, the Grizzlies played the Jazz, and Stone averaged 42 minutes per game.

In the second round against the Warriors, Stone took it easy, averaging 36 minutes per game.

But in this round against the Spurs, Stone averaged more than 44 minutes per game, which is too much playing time. "

"It's also fortunate that Shitou has been insisting on physical training, otherwise he might not be able to persist."

……

When the sun was shining brightly the next day, Li Lei got up from the bed and stretched contentedly.

Sleeping until you wake up naturally is one of the great joys in life.

He remembered what his high school classmates said: getting up early ruins the day, getting up late makes the day better.

Sure enough, Li Lei was rested very well at this moment, and his mental state and physical state were adjusted to the best.

After getting up leisurely, taking a shower, having a simple breakfast, Li Lei changed into his running shoes and ran to the FedEx center.

This habit has started since his rookie season, and Li Lei has never stopped it.

The difference is that the apartment in Memphis is farther away from the FedEx center. It takes Li Lei half an hour to run the 11-kilometer road.
