The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 89 The first day of the weekend
February 2011, 2, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Li Pu and his group have already arrived at the Staples Center, preparing to participate in the All-Star Weekend Media Day event this morning.

"Hi, James!"

Photographed by media reporters, several people were walking in when they suddenly heard someone calling Harden not far away.

"Hi DeMar!"

When Harden saw that it was DeRozan, he hurried forward and hugged him tightly.

When it comes to DeRozan, many people can think of Kyle Lowry, one of his "garbage brothers" combination, but in fact, DeRozan's best brother has to be Harden.

Both were born in Compton, a well-known chaotic neighborhood in Los Angeles, and they were born in the same year and the same month (August 1989), and the two families are very close to each other, so they knew each other well when they played in the community court when they were young.

"It's great, we can fight side by side again this time!"

DeRozan is very excited, because the two have been opponents on the court since they were young, and they have little experience as teammates.

"Hahaha, that's right, this time we will kill the first-year team!"

"Hey, hey, can you two hide from me? I heard it all!" Li Pu expressed his dissatisfaction at the side.

"Hey, I don't think it's a problem, anyway, you're the only first-year student here!" Ibaka also added to the side.

"Cut, wait, you three go together! This time, let's see how I deal with your second-year team!" Li Pu said domineeringly.

"We're afraid you won't succeed?" Li Pu was very good at spreading hatred, and immediately made the three opponents excited about him.

When the players came to the Staples Center so early, they first had to take photos of the rookie lineup.

Players put on the jerseys prepared in advance for the rookie game and posed in front of the camera, so awkward.

After taking pictures, they will be interviewed by reporters from different media.

When Li Pu sat on the press booth, his body was covered with microphones. Compared with the beginning of the season, this treatment was completely different.

"You and Griffin are the two most watched rookies in this All-Star Weekend. What do you think of Griffin?"

"There is no doubt that he is a very talented player. He deserves to be the No. [-] pick last year. I am really honored to be on the team with him this time!" Li Pu played steadily in front of the camera as always.

"Then you don't think about participating in tomorrow's dunk contest with Griffin?"

"Hahaha, our team has already sent Ibaka. Russell and I are both convinced by his dunk, so I don't need to play, right? I have already played two games in the All-Star Weekend, or let him Let me rest!"

"Last year, the first-year team defeated the second-year team, ending the seven-game winning streak of the second-year team. Can your first-year team win this year?"

"Of course, although I admit that the second-year team is very strong, but this year our team has two champions last year and this year, and me, of course we can win!!"

Don't think that Li Pu is very arrogant. In fact, he said this to provide materials for these reporters. If it is all official formulas, no one will listen to it.

Sure enough, for Li Pu's declaration of war, the reporters felt like a treasure. After interviewing Li Pu, one by one, they ran to find other players and asked their opinions on Li Pu's statement.

The first-year team naturally agreed, and the second-year team was against it.

For a while, before the night's rookie game started, the emotions of the two teams were first aroused by Li Pu.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, players from both sides began to come to their respective locker rooms one after another.

When Li Pu walked into the locker room, it was obvious that everyone was looking at him.

At this time, there were still many people in the locker room.

Griffin was eating a hamburger, Wall was stretching with the help of the team doctor, Favors was talking to Cousins, and everyone stopped what they were doing after seeing Lip.

To be honest, Li Pu is more familiar with the players of the second-year team than the players of the first-year team, and he has had problems with several of them, such as Cousins, Griffin, and...

"Hai brother……"

Just as he was talking, Bledsoe came in from the locker room, but when he saw Li Pu, he was embarrassed.

He will never forget what Li Pu did to him during the thunder team trial training, so he bowed his head and said hello to the others silently.

To be honest, most of the people present have participated in the joint trial training in Chicago, and have seen Li Pu make a fool of himself.

However, in the blink of an eye, he has become the starting center of the All-Star, regardless of how he did it, he already is anyway.

Such an achievement, for most of them, may not be possible in this lifetime.

Why?Just rely on his ID card?

It really is!
Therefore, few people here are convinced by Li Pu.

Fortunately, at this time, someone stepped forward to resolve the embarrassment in the locker room.

"Hi, Prince! I'm Fields, Jeremy's friend!"

Hearing this, Li Pu suddenly realized that he was Lin Shuhao's friend, no wonder he would take the initiative to greet him.

The man in front of him is about 2 meters tall and has a slightly fair complexion. His name is Landry Fields. He is the 39th overall pick in this year's second round.

With his outstanding performance in the summer league and preseason, he successfully secured the position of starting shooting guard in the Knicks.

To be honest, his strength is actually not much different from Lin Shuhao, but how can the Knicks compete as much as the Thunder?
Even if Lin Shuhao is exhausted, he will never get the starting point guard position from Westbrook.

And Fields is much luckier than Lin Shuhao, and the two have a lot of similarities.

Both of them were born in California, both came from prestigious schools, and both were not drafted high. The reason why the situation of the two of them is very different now is naturally because Fields has one more chance than Lin Shuhao.

"Hello, Landry!"

"Congratulations on being selected as an All-Star!"

"Thank you!"

Just as the two were exchanging greetings, a piercing voice came from not far away.

"Hehe, who doesn't know how his All-Star got in!" The person who said this was Cousins!
As soon as this remark came out, the entire locker room was as silent as a pin being dropped, and everyone wanted to see how Li Pu would respond.

Li Pu came to Cousins ​​and said, "Really? Are you envious, defeated?"

"Who is envious?" Cousins ​​asked anxiously.

"So you admit that you are my subordinate?"

"Who admitted it?"

"You!"

"I didn't admit it!"

"Then why do you acquiesce?"

"Who acquiesced?"

Seeing the distraught Cousins ​​and the cat-like Li Pu, the others in the locker room were ashamed to continue watching. It was so pitiful for Cousins ​​to meet Li Pu.
