Chapter 428 Garnett diss Li Lei
In two consecutive games, Li Lei scored a total of 107 points, averaging 53.5 points per game, leading the team to reverse the two strong players in the East.

For a while, Li Lei was in the limelight.In the latest league record list, the Grizzlies also reached the top with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses.

No.2, Orlando Magic, 8 wins and 1 loss.

No.3, Philadelphia 76ers, 7 wins and 1 losses.

No.4, San Antonio Spurs, 7 wins and 2 losses.

Los Angeles Lakers, 7 wins and 2 losses.

No.6, Utah Jazz, 6 wins and 3 losses.

Dallas Mavericks, 6 wins and 3 losses.

Detroit Pistons, 6 wins and 3 losses.

Boston Celtics, 6 wins and 3 losses.

No.10, Denver Nuggets, 6 wins and 4 losses.

This is basically within the expectations of the fans.

Surprisingly, the Suns have struggled, with 4 wins and 4 losses so far.

The Heat have 4 wins and 5 losses.

From this point of view, the deal between O'Neill and Marion in the summer was a lose-lose.

Of course, the season has just started, and every team still has a long time to get in touch. Who dares to guarantee what will happen in the future?
Historically, this deal happened in February 2008. After most of the season, O'Neal failed to integrate into the Suns.

But now, the deal is 7 months ahead of schedule, and the Suns have more time to adjust.

Maybe in this life, the Suns might be able to play.

Compared with O'Neal and the Suns' incompatibility, another team made fans excited.

Los Angeles Lakers!

In the summer, under the influence of Li Lei, Kobe teamed up with Garnett to form the "Animal League" that shocked the league, the combination of wolves and snakes.

The NBA's active shooting guard + top two power forward.

Kobe and Garnett seem to need no adjustment at all. They played a dominant level of combat effectiveness at the beginning of the season, starting the game with 7 wins and 2 losses.

This also aroused heated discussions among fans.

"Kobe + Garnett, isn't it Yao Ming + Iverson last year?"

"I feel that Kobe and Garnett are better than Yao Ming and Iverson. Yao Ming is very strong, but he is not at the same level as Garnett. Kobe is now at his peak, and Iverson has begun to decline. Kobe In the past few years, I feel that I have surpassed Iverson."

"So it's the rhythm of winning the championship again in a year?"

"It's very possible! It's just that the role players of the Lakers are not as good as the 76ers, which is a lot worse."

"It's not a problem. You didn't see that Garnett and Kobe had just announced their cooperation, and Phil Jackson returned to the Lakers."

"Phil Jackson: Not the favorite team to win the championship, I don't take it."

"There is also Fisher Fisher, who was clamoring to return to the Lakers before, but the Jazz finally let it go. The reason for Fisher is to go back to Los Angeles to take care of sick children. It sounds nice. But what is the actual purpose, everyone Understand it yourself."

"It's all fucking speculators."

"But this is normal. Look at it, this is just the beginning. With the achievements of Kobe and Garnett, a group of veterans who want to receive a championship ring will go to Los Angeles and line up for the Lakers to pick."

"No way, Los Angeles! There is hope to win the championship again. I would also like to go instead."

"It won't be long before the Lakers can continue to strengthen the lineup, surpassing the 76ers is no problem."

"It seems that the Lakers are unstoppable in winning the championship."

"Not necessarily. The Lakers look strong on the surface, but what if Kobe and Garnett have conflicts? Have you forgotten the super battleship Lakers F4 back then? Such a terrifying lineup, but because of injuries and internal conflicts, it failed in the end. Win the championship."

"So the Lakers have the right time, the right place, and the right people this year. Back then, Payton was 36, Malone was 40, and Malone lost a leg in the playoffs. Kobe was young and frivolous, and wanted to be the boss. And After O'Neal's three consecutive championships, his desire to win the championship has greatly diminished, and he is no longer serious about playing. There are many problems!"

"But this year, Kobe and Garnett happened to be playing in their prime. Their strength has reached their peak and their mentality has matured. After watching the game, you should know that the common goal of the two is to win the championship. They don't care about the ball and statistics. The sacrifice of the team. In one sentence, as long as you are like-minded, no problem will be a problem!"

"So, the Lakers championship?"

"The Lakers Championship!"

"There is another thing worth mentioning. Since the league announced the super luxury tax rules, the league should not be able to form a Big Three lineup. The Big Two is the standard for winning the championship. Like Yao Ming, Iverson, or Kobe, Garnett does."

"Is the super luxury tax really that terrible?"

"Of course, think about the Big Three of the Heat back then. The Low combination was invincible. They made the entire league desperate. As long as they don't break up, they will establish a dynasty. But the Heat let Li Lei go in the end."

"The owner of the Heat, Mitch Arison, is the big owner of Carnival Cruise Lines and one of the wealthiest owners in the league. He is not willing to pay the super luxury tax. You can imagine it."

"So there will never be a superteam in the league again."

"No! It's possible. The super luxury tax rule is that you have to pay more than the luxury tax line for three consecutive years. If a team breaks the boat and forms a Big Three, how about betting on winning the championship in those two years? This summer, the Celtics I just wanted to form the Big Three of Garnett + Pierce + Ray Allen, but they were cut off by the Lakers."

……

Amidst the fans' heated discussions, the Grizzlies returned to the West and continued their road trip.

Their next opponent is the favorite among fans: the Los Angeles Lakers.

Through Kobe's relationship, Li Lei easily got two front row tickets and invited Li's father and Li's mother to the scene.

As for Avril Lavigne, she has a fixed seat at the Staples Center.

The night before, Kobe invited Li Lei out for a big meal.

Through a summer of eating and living together, the two established a pretty good friendship.

They are the same training freaks, believe that hard work is more important than talent, and are the same pure basketball players.

"Thank you for taking care of me in summer, those delicacies make me unforgettable! No matter what you want to eat tonight, I will pay without hesitation!"

Kobe patted his chest grandly and said.

"Eat whatever you want!"

Li Lei was just about to pat his chest to speak when his cell phone rang, it was a news from FOX.

""Wolf King" Garnett diss Supernova Stone! "

As a superstar, it's a strange feeling to often see your name in the news.

Li Lei has long been used to it.

He and Garnett have never been harmonious.

The first time he played against the Timberwolves, Garnett annoyed Li Lei with his vulgar, disgusting, bottomless trash talk.

At that time, the Heat were an absolute team with 0 wins and 5 losses at the beginning of the regular season.

Garnett actually regarded the game against the Heat as training, and even claimed that the Heat's defense is like a street girl, whoever wants to get in and get out.

Later, at the All-Star Weekend in 04, Li Lei was selected as an All-Star for the first time.

Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson of the Nets attacked Li Lei because he took Kenyon Martin's position, saying that Li Lei played softly and was not worthy of being an All-Star.

At that time, many stars responded to Kidd, and Garnett was one of them.

Then in the summer of 06, the Heat let Li Lei go, and the other 29 teams in the league were pursuing Li Lei.

Garnett's Timberwolves are also one of them.

Garnett took the initiative to call to recruit Li Lei.

But after thinking about it, Li Lei rejected Garnett.

Because of this, Garnett "turned from love to hate" and held back for a full season. He retaliated against Li Lei in the final game of the regular season of the 06-07 season.

At that time, it happened to be the critical moment when Li Lei and Kobe competed for the scoring title.

Regardless of the head coach's arrangement, Garnett privately asked his teammates to pinch Li Lei and limit Li Lei's scoring, so that Li Lei would miss the scoring title.

But it is a pity that the Grizzlies at that time far surpassed the Timberwolves.

Garnett was humiliating himself. In the end, he not only failed to prevent Li Lei from taking the scoring title, but was also beaten by Li Lei with 58 points in the final battle.

Since then, Garnett has been dubbed 58 by fans.

This is the whole process of the feud between Li Lei and Garnett.

Garnett was able to bear it, and he didn't say anything bad about Li Lei after that game.

until tonight!

Li Lei sneered: Maybe this guy thinks that by teaming up with Kobe, he finally has a chance to take revenge on him.

Li Lei clicked on the news and watched it carefully.

Garnett is really smart, he didn't belittle Li Lei directly, but praised Li Lei lavishly.

"That guy is really good. He is the hottest supernova in the league right now. He just miraculously beat the Magic and scored 62 points to comeback the defending champion. He is Wonder Boy, a super killer, the new god of basketball !"

Garnett really praised Li Lei to the sky.

If someone else said that, the reporter would not suspect that it was a compliment to Li Lei.

The point is... these words came from Garnett.

The feud between Garnett and Li Lei has always been a topic that fans talk about.

If Garnett could sincerely praise Li Lei, that would be hell.

Then the reason why Garnett said this is very simple.

Kill it!

He lifted Li Lei high, and then fell heavily.

The higher the praise, the harder Li Lei fell.

"I can't wait to play against Stone, I don't know if he is ready."

Garnett said something at the end of the interview.

It seems that there is no problem, but combined with the grudge between Garnett and Li Lei, you will know that Garnett is provoking Li Lei.

Of course, what everyone thinks is everyone's business.

There is nothing wrong with what Garnett himself said.

It's just that I happened to meet FOX, who is afraid of chaos in the world. They like to make things out of nothing and turn small things into big things.

Garnett's ordinary words became diss in their mouths.

When Li Lei browsed the news, Kobe also watched it.

It's not that Kobe learned from James and saved traffic, but that Kobe was really curious about what happened.

After reading it, Kobe was somewhat embarrassed.

Garnett didn't know, but Kobe himself knew it all.

If it weren't for Li Lei's guidance, Kobe would not take the initiative to contact Garnett, and the two would miss it because of the outdated phone number provided by Tyronn Lue.

But now, Garnett actually took the initiative to provoke Li Lei by joining forces with Kobe.

This is really...

It's a bit like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

Kobe said embarrassingly: "Kevin probably didn't mean that. You know, FOX likes to make things up! This should be written by them."

Li Lei said straightforwardly, "I believe in you!"

Kobe: "..."

He originally wanted Li Lei to believe him, but Li Lei really agreed so readily, but he couldn't believe it.

Unknowingly, the two came to a high-end western food restaurant.

Kobe introduced: "This restaurant cooks a lot of meat, and you can see many things that you can't eat here. Just order whatever you want, don't worry, his house has everything."

After a while, the waiter came up, wearing an elegant tuxedo.

The young waiter obviously recognized Kobe and Li Lei, and seemed a little excited.

However, as expected of a high-end western food, the waiter still maintained a very good professionalism, and asked politely: "Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"

Li Lei spoke first: "A serving of wolf meat!"

Kobe: "..."

Waiter: "..."

If he hadn't recognized Li Lei, the waiter would have thought Li Lei was here to make trouble.

However, his professionalism is indeed very good, he just froze for a while, and immediately recovered his skilled professional smile: "I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell wolf meat here."

Li Lei glanced at Kobe with contempt in his eyes: Is this what you said?
Kobe: I fucking...

Li Lei curled his lips: "Then let's have a Kobe!"

The waiter froze for a moment, then glanced at Kobe.

Li Lei became impatient: "Why, without wolf meat, you don't even have an ordinary Kobe steak?"

Kobe's full name: kobebeanbryant.

Kobe is the name of a Kobe steak.

Bean means beans.

The literal translation of the name is Kobe Steak Beans Bryant.

"Sir, of course we have Kobe steak, so I'll prepare it for you as soon as possible."

The waiter asked Kobe's opinion again, then turned to give instructions to the kitchen.

But just as he turned around, Li Lei threw out another sentence: "In addition to Kobe steak, give me another order of beans!"

Waiter: "..."

Kobe: "..."

Li Lei looked at Kobe's appearance and smiled: "Don't think too much, I'm just telling you, I've got you and Garnett for me!"

Li Lei spoke the most domineering words in the most casual tone.

Kobe's expression changed: "Then you can try it!"

Kobe is a guy with a strong desire to win, so he can talk about other things, but once competition is involved, he will not give in the slightest.

……

On the league side, the game is also vigorously promoted.

Los Angeles is one of the largest ball markets in the NBA, second only to New York.

The Lakers have been sinking for several years and suddenly rose this year. The league will naturally not miss this opportunity.

This season, the number of live broadcasts of the Lakers across the United States has directly increased by more than a dozen games compared to last season.

You must know that for some unpopular teams, the total number of live broadcasts in the United States in a season is only a dozen.

The league's preference for the Lakers is too obvious.

Especially this strong dialogue has attracted countless fans.
