Chapter 48
11 month 29 day.

Li Lei went out of the country and met Battelle, and he and his teammates smashed Battelle's Raptors team.

Carter was injured and out of shape, and the Raptors became the Raptors.

Bosh Jr. couldn't take advantage of any advantages in the duel with Odom and was blown up.

Li Lei clocked in three quarters again and scored 18 points.

As a team reporter, Su Qun watched anxiously.

The personal record of 20 points is only one goal away, so there is no chance.

The opponent is always too weak and disarms in three quarters.

Su Qun still remembers one thing. Morey told reporters during the summer league: Li Lei, who can only shoot three-pointers, will never be able to score 20 points like James and Wade.

Su Qun was still waiting to slap Morey in the face.

A day later, the November race was all over.

The Heat were 0 wins and 6 losses first, and then played an impressive record of 9 wins and 2 losses.

With a total record of 9 wins and 8 losses, the Heat entered the top eight as they wished.

The best player of the month in the East and West will also be released.

James and Anthony won the best rookie of the month in the East and West respectively.

……

In the first game in December, the Heat went to the "Motor City" Detroit to play against the Pistons.

This is the second collision between the two teams this season.

Last time, the Heat lost without any suspense.

The Pistons are still strong this season, currently 13 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Pacers and Hornets.

After arriving in Detroit, Li Lei took the initiative to meet with Dakomilicic.

Otherwise, if this guy asks me out, I'm afraid the flowers will all wither.

The two were walking on the streets of downtown Detroit. At this time, Detroit had already shown signs of decline.

With the rise of Japanese car companies, the competitiveness of Detroit's three major auto giants, Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, has decreased, causing the city to fall into a huge predicament.

The population has been lost in large numbers, many streets are empty, and the houses are also dilapidated and uninhabited for a long time.

"Stone!"

Milicic actually took the initiative to speak.

"Larry Brown won't let me play, even if it's garbage time, he won't give me a chance, what should I do?"

He looks distressed.

Li Lei didn't know what to say.

Larry Brown, the whole league knows he doesn't like rookies.

What's more, the Pistons already have a complete system. Big Ben, Prince, Billups, and Hamilton occupy an important tactical position, and it is impossible for newcomers to squeeze them out.

But the garbage time is not allowed to appear, this is too much.

Li Lei asked, "Have you tried to communicate with him?"

"Ah."

Milicic nodded.

Let Milicic, a boring gourd, take the initiative to find someone to communicate with, which shows how depressed he is.

Li Lei asked, "What did he say?"

Milicic said: "He said I was too young to play in the NBA."

Milicic is really small, he is the youngest rookie of the 03 generation, half a year younger than James.

But even so, it doesn't mean that the garbage time is not given.

You just let him watch from the sidelines, and he can grow?

Li Lei couldn't understand Larry Brown's brain circuit, so he put the No. [-] pick in the draft year to the bench, and didn't give garbage time.

"you……"

Li Lei didn't even know how to comfort Milicic.

Because even if Li Lei encountered such a situation, there was nothing he could do.

"No matter what, you have to keep training and keep growing. As long as you are good enough, there will always be a bright future."

Li Lei bit the bullet and explained.

Milicic nodded, and then fell silent for a long time.

8 pm.

Palace of Auburn Hills.

The two sides started the field.

Heat: Cato, Odom, Butler, Jones, Wade.

Pistons:
Center: Mehmet Okur.

Power Forward: "Big Ben" Ben Wallace.

Small Forward: "Little Prince" Tayshaun Prince.

Shooting guard: "The Mask" Richard Hamilton.

Point guard: "Big Heart" Chauncey Billups.

Because the meat shield center Eldon Campbell was injured and missed, Okur topped the starting center.

Coupled with the recent impressive record of the Heat, coach Da Fan is full of confidence and is ready to steal a victory from Detroit.

jump ball.

Cato pressed Big Ben and turned the ball back to his own half.

Wade accelerated with the ball, trying to catch the Pistons by surprise.

Billups immediately tangled up.

After some entanglement, the Pistons have retreated into place, set up their positions, and invite you to enter the urn.

Wade's attempt failed and he could only advance slowly.

In the frontcourt, Wade intends to break through, but he can't get rid of Billups' marking.

Billups not only has both offense and defense, but also has no obvious weaknesses on the defensive end.

Body, strength, speed, skills, experience... 191cm, 92kg Billups is not lacking.

Seeing this, Odom brought it up to Wade to pick and roll.

Wade took the opportunity to get rid of Billups and accelerate the breakthrough.

But he had just started, and Big Ben was already standing in front of him.

Wade was caught off guard and slammed into it, like a stone wall.

He defended the ball awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Billups chased him from behind, stretched out his hand, and made a steal.

Billups made a fast break himself, and Wade chased desperately, trying to make up for it.

Billups took his time, looked around and listened in all directions during the fast break, stuck Wade with a solid back, and then passed the ball to the side.

Prince, who followed, caught the ball and dunked.

boom!
2: 0.

In one round, Wade was abused by Billups, and he had all his strength but couldn't use it.

And Billups didn't care, just high-fived Prince, and then calmly returned to defense.

Li Lei watched silently, and had to applaud Billups for his kindness.

Of course it's not natural.

As a third pick in 97, Billups started very high.But he got off to a bad start, changed four teams in five years, was regarded as a problem player by the entire league, had cancer in the locker room, and had almost no ball to play for a time.

It is this kind of ups and downs that makes Billups's heart sublimated, and the big heart comes from this.

Later, Joe Dumas saw Billups as the next smiling assassin and tried his best to cultivate him.

This has the newborn Billups.

The Heat attack again.

Wade still couldn't get rid of Billups and passed the ball to Butler.

Butler used his physical advantage to force Hamilton.

But Big Ben's defense was quick, and Butler was forced to make a hasty shot.

Bang!

Miss the ball, grab a rebound.

Okur and Kato were entangled in the basket. Okur was a circle smaller than Kato, but he was not afraid of confrontation at all. The two elbows were thrown into a ball, and no one benefited.

This is the big man produced by the Pistons, known for his tough defense.

Odom took advantage of the game, grabbed an offensive rebound, and made a second shot.

Snapped!
It's Big Ben again.

Big Ben rushed over and slapped the ball away like playing volleyball.

"Hoohoho!"

The Palace of Auburn Hills boiled directly.

Ben Wallace, the spiritual leader of the Pistons.

If the Pistons are an iron-blooded army, Daben is the iron-blooded team.

An undrafted pick, he counterattacked and became the second team, the first defense, the best defensive player, the All-Star starting center, the block leader, and the rebound leader.

Greatest undrafted pick in history.
