Chapter 57: Late Night Coffee Shop

Barbossa was a little intimidated at first.

But soon, his eyes showed excitement.

If he defeats Li Lei on this occasion and completes his revenge, he will become famous in the first battle.

"Brazilian lightning cut through the dark night of the NBA!"

He, Barbosa, will become the starter, hit sky-defying statistics, sign a maximum salary contract, marry Black Pearl, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Thinking of this, Li Lei in Barbosa's eyes has become a stepping stone.

Just after halftime, he started to pick up speed.

Li Lei concentrated his attention and stood in front of Barbossa.

With less than one step away, Barbosa changed directions continuously, and all kinds of dribbles through the crotch were too beautiful to behold.

However to no avail.

Li Lei just slid sideways, always blocking in front of Barbosa.

Getting closer, Li Lei took the initiative to make physical contact, and stuck to Barbosa's body to fight.

Barbosa felt that he had hit a wall, and his speed dropped instantly. He was forced to stop outside the three-point line by Li Lei, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

What a tough defense!
"Rookie, is this all you can do?"

Relying on his height, Li Lei looked down at Barbosa and asked contemptuously.

Barbosa was furious, hugged the ball and hit Li Lei hard, but Li Lei didn't move at all.

Don't forget, Li Lei is a striker who can fight James hand-to-hand. How can a small guard like Barbosa be able to shake him?
The Miami fans laughed.

"Look, how ridiculous that Brazilian kid is. He stands in front of Stone like a child, and he has nothing to do with Stone's defense."

"Rookie, now you know how powerful Miami is."

"Miami! Miami! Miami... Stone! Stone! Stone!"

……

At this time, Marion shouted from one side: "This way!"

Barbosa subconsciously wants to pass the ball.

Li Lei sneered: "Rookie, that's it?"

How can a hot-blooded youth in his early twenties stand up to such a challenge?
Barbosa instantly became angry again, his teammates were gone, only Li Lei's hateful face.

"what!"

Holding the ball with one hand, Barbosa roared and hit Li Lei so hard that his face was hideous and his eyes were red.

But Li Lei just didn't move at all.

He was like a stone wall, keeping Barbossa out.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Lei made a sudden shot and made a precise steal.

The ball is gone again in Barbosa's hands.

Li Lei squeezed past Barbosa, grabbed the ball and passed it to Wade.

Wade got off quickly, and Li Lei followed behind.

The whole of Miami is like hot water about to boil, and the excitement of the fans is about to reach its peak.

Wade is a fine individual. He rushed to the frontcourt and didn't make a shot himself, but threw the ball to the backboard.

Li Lei rose from the ground, caught the bounced basketball, and dunked it with one hand.

boom!
89: 69.

The Heat once again led by 20 points.

"Roar!"

The American Airlines Center is seething.

Miami fans climax!

"Stone! Stone! Stone..."

Countless fans roared.

Seeing this situation, Wade couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, always feeling that he was replaced by Li Lei.

Just then, an arm wrapped around Wade.

It was Li Lei.

Li Lei hugged Wade and greeted the Miami fans: Roar!
"Stone! Dwyane! Stone! Dwyane..."

Miami fans are also responding to Li Lei.

As for the loser Barbosa, no one cares that he is still standing in the backcourt in a daze.

Drip!

Frank Johnson called a timeout, replaced Marion and Barbosa, and gave up the game.

Marion glanced at Barbosa, ignored him, and went back to the bench.

It's not that he didn't remind Barbosa, but Barbosa didn't listen, and he couldn't help it.

Coach Da Fan also replaced Li Lei and Wade, making the game completely enter garbage time.

In the end, 98:82, the Heat once again defended a home victory.

The total record is 11 wins and 10 losses.

After the game, the players went home.

Wang Zhizhi has already rented a house and will not live with Li Lei and Haslem.

Li Lei was about to drive home when he received another call from Zhang Weiping.

"Stone, you did a good job tonight. Although it's late, can I spare you a little time and come out to chat?"

Zhang Weiping said on the other end of the phone.

Meeting so late, it seems that there is something important.

Li Lei agreed, and made an appointment with a 24-hour coffee shop. Li Lei drove there slowly, and Haslem accompanied him.

……

When Li Lei arrived at the coffee shop, Zhang Weiping was already waiting at the door, with a middle-aged man beside him.

Zhang Weiping walked up first, hugged Li Lei, and then greeted Haslem: "Udonis, the fans in our country like you very much."

"is it?"

Haslem was a little surprised.

Later, Zhang Weiping introduced the man around him.

Kuang Lubin, former Chinese men's basketball player and Bayi team coach, is now the Minister of State Administration.

"Stone, hello!"

Kuang Lubin took the initiative to shake hands with Li Lei.

Li Lei responded with a smile: "Coach Kuang, hello."

Then the four of them entered the coffee shop.

Zhang Weiping has already ordered a lot of food.

Haslem moved his index finger, and after Zhang Weiping said "please", he immediately began to eat.

The guy had his mouth full and mumbled "thank you" in Chinese.

After staying with Li Lei for a long time, Haslem has learned some simple Chinese vocabulary, but it still smells like a foreign language.

Zhang Weiping and Kuang Lubin laughed out loud.

"Stone, I am here this time mainly for two things."

Kuang Lubin started talking about business.

Li Lei listened carefully and expressed enough respect.

"The first thing is that on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team, I invite you to join the national team and participate in the Athens Olympics next year. What do you think?"

Kuang Lubin asked.

Li Lei hardly thought: "I agree!"

Kuang Lubin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Good!"

Zhang Weiping also smiled like a blooming old chrysanthemum: "Look, I said Stone would agree."

Next, Kuang Lubin started to talk about the second matter, his voice was a little lower: "I want to persuade Da Zhi to return to the national team, and I hope you can help."

Zhang Weiping explained at the side: "When Da Zhi just refused to return to China, Lao Kuang and Ah Di Jiang came to the United States to find Da Zhi, but Da Zhi said on the phone: You are a member of the Basketball Association, and I will not talk to you now. You talk! Lao Kuang cried at that time. You don’t know, Da Zhi was brought out by Lao Kuang, starting from 14, that child is too heartless!”

Kuang Lubin pulled Zhang Weiping: "Don't blame Da Zhi. He joined the team at the age of 14, so he lacks his own opinions. It is his manager and wife who make decisions for Da Zhi. Da Zhi is not that kind of person. Stone, you Now I am teammates with Dazhi, can you help me? It depends on my painstaking efforts as a master!"

Li Lei was a little moved.

He could see that Kuang Lubin loved Da Zhi deeply, and he still defended Da Zhi because Da Zhi hurt his heart so much.

But Li Lei didn't agree hastily, but thought seriously.

"Coach Kuang, is Brother Wang particularly resistant to you now?"

Li Lei asked.

Kuang Lubin nodded painfully.

Li Lei said: "Since that's the case, I think you should not contact Brother Wang rashly to make him resist you even more. As for me, although we are teammates, we have only been together for a few days, and he won't listen to me."

Kuang Lubin nodded. What Li Lei said made sense, because he had simplified things.

Ugh!
He gave a wry smile and sighed again and again.

At this moment, Li Lei said: "But I have an idea, you can also help me refer to it, is it feasible?"

Kuang Lubin was overjoyed: "Say it quickly!"
