Chapter 42 Let's stuff a pretty girl into the coach's room.
NBA reporters are shrewd; they know how to ask questions to maximize viewership.
Especially considering the presence of a "problem player" like Li He, the Lakers' F4 debut, and the past grievances between the two teams, this victory for the Trail Blazers seems all the more hard-won.
An ESPN reporter asked, "Hansen, your matchup against Kobe Bryant in the game was outstanding. How did you manage to limit him so well? What's your secret?"
Kobe scored 26 points in this game, which is only average for a player who averaged 30 points per game last season.
Throughout the game, Li He performed well against Kobe. Whether it was physical contact, limiting his strength, or trash-talking, he was able to break down the defense of this three-time All-NBA First Team player with three championship rings.
Especially that elbow strike, which knocked Kobe down, became a classic moment in his debut.
Li He placed his ten fingers interlaced on the table, appearing quite frank:
"You know, our team's Ruben Patterson is known as the 'Kobe Terminator.' On my first day with the team, I had a friendly sparring session with Ruben and learned a lot of skills from him."
reporter:……
Didn't you and Ruben have a boxing match? Did you knock him out? How come you're so clean-shaven now? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were best buddies.
Coach Maurice Cheeks took a deep breath. That was a pretty brilliant answer, wasn't it?
The CBS reporter then asked:
"Hansen, what's your take on Kobe's Eagle County incident?"
Coach Maurice Cheeks was nervous and tugged at Li He's clothes under the table, signaling him to speak more calmly.
The Eagle County incident is far too big to ignore; the whole of America is watching. If Hansen Lee says anything wrong, he'll definitely get himself into serious trouble.
Li He smiled slightly, revealing his signature outstretched hand:
"The truth of the Eagle County incident is still under investigation, isn't it?"
"But in my opinion, saying 'Shaq did it too' is something only an idiot would say!"
As is widely known, this classic basketball quote was inexplicably brought up after Kobe Bryant was taken to the police station following the Eagle County incident, implying that Shaquille O'Neal had also spent a lot of money to settle things with some women.
The problem is that they were teammates for many years, winning three consecutive championships together, and there is no concrete evidence that O'Neal did the same thing.
To reiterate, if I haven't been caught, why should I be considered a criminal suspect?
Kobe Bryant did indeed end up in jail...
Saying "Shaq did it too" is pure backstabbing.
Even if they weren't teammates, let alone teammates who have been working together for several years, it wouldn't warrant saying something like that.
Wow.
Splash.
These words caused an uproar among the reporters present.
Hansen Lee is quite the news headline, right? He directly berated Kobe in front of the media.
"So, what would you do if you encountered this situation?" a Los Angeles Times reporter asked with a smile.
This question carries a strong sense of hostility, directly comparing the "pure and innocent" Li He with Kobe Bryant, who experienced the "Eagle County incident."
This greatly displeased Li He.
I didn't even attack anyone, and you're just accusing me of something without my knowledge!
Li He showed no leniency towards the reporter:
"If something like this happens, with whom? With your sister or your mother?"
"You should go home and ask about that."
Laughter erupted from the scene, leaving the reporter extremely embarrassed, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.
The post-match interview ended quickly, and Li He's sharp answers were destined to cause another wave of public opinion after the match.
Inside the hotel.
Zach Randolph was still basking in the joy of defeating the Lakers.
He scored 11 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 3 assists in this game, a respectable performance.
"Hansen! We actually beat the Lakers with their 'Big Four' at Staples Center, this is incredible!"
Li He smiled slightly: "This is indeed something to celebrate. Why don't we invite a few girls to liven things up?"
Zach Randolph: "That's perfect! I've already asked my friends! They have connections!"
"My treat!"
"Absolutely! Who told you to make nine three-pointers tonight! Such a perfect debut!"
Zach Randolph went to make a phone call, while Li He silently watched the system messages.
[The progress of the one-on-one duel has increased from 67% to 99%.]
After this period of time, Li He discovered a feature of the [Respect for the Elderly and Love for the Young King System].
That means the progress of getting a one-on-one opportunity each time will be slower than the previous one.
For example, in the first instance, an NCAA final could increase it by nearly 50%.
And now, such a perfect NBA debut only added 32%.
Fortunately, 1% progress is easily achieved no matter what.
Li He should start thinking about who to ask for the next template.
His current situation is obvious: he can shoot accurately, but he only knows how to shoot.
This "rookie bonus period" can only last for 5 to 7 games at most. Especially if he makes a perfect debut at Staples Center, coaches from other teams in the league will definitely take notice of him.
In future games against the Trail Blazers, they will definitely target Li He.
Therefore, Li He needed to enrich his arsenal and improve his control and transportation skills.
Then the answer is obvious.
However, the NBA regular season schedule is very busy, so I can only wait until I fly to that person's city to find an opportunity to play one-on-one and get a role model for him.
A short while later, Zach Randolph returned excitedly.
"Hansen! It's done!"
"We ordered four in total, is that too much to ask?"
Li He frowned: "Zack, are you sure you only want one?"
Randolph paused for a moment, then said, "I freaking mean two for each person!"
Li He shook his head: "Then order two more."
"Why?" Randolph asked, puzzled. "You mean, you want four younger sisters?"
Zach Randolph entered the draft in 2001. He is a few years older than Li He and was a troublemaker since childhood, which fits the "Portland Jail Team" mentality.
Unexpectedly, some people actually started comparing themselves to each other in this kind of thing.
Li He explained, "Zack, you're such a pig-brain."
"We won at Staples Center today, are we the only two celebrating?"
"Doesn't Coach Maurice Cheeks, who has dedicated himself so wholeheartedly to the Trail Blazers, need to relax a bit?"
Randolph suddenly realized that Hansen Lee meant to stuff a beautiful woman into Coach Maurice Cheeks' room.
...This is truly the first time I've ever seen something like this.
Hansen Lee has such high emotional intelligence!
But then Randolph immediately understood what was going on.
If the two of them invite a few beautiful women and have too much fun, they would be clearly violating the "25 Guarantees" set by the team at the beginning of the season.
But if even coaches do this...
They're in the same boat.
Does the management intend to punish coach Maurice Cheeks as well?
With such a powerful protector, the matter will definitely not leak out and will be handled internally.
high!
Hansen Lee is not only a great player with high emotional intelligence, but his IQ is also frighteningly high!
Having sorted out his thoughts, Zach Randolph looked at his Chinese roommate and was immediately filled with admiration.
