At this time, Li Lei had returned to Los Angeles.

Dad Li, Mom Li, and Avril were all with him.

Li Lei was feeling complicated when he read the fans' messages.

Some people call him ungrateful, some call him a fool, and some say he is stupid...

These words made him feel uncomfortable.

Mother Li asked worriedly: "Shitou, are you okay?"

Li Lei smiled and said, "Actually, I want to stay in Miami the most!"

Dad Li patted Li Lei on the shoulder: "Stop laughing, it's so ugly. If you want to cry, you will cry, no one will look down on you."

This sentence hit Li Lei's heart.

Li Lei's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't cry after all: "It's good that way. I might be able to play in Los Angeles, so I'll take care of you in this way."

"Ivy, we can meet often."

...

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

The next day, a basketball expert smelled the scent based on the rules and the Heat. Li Lei's actions and then thought about the rough idea.

It’s not that the Heat are stupid, nor is it that Li Lei wants to leave.

It is because the alliance doesn't want to see both parties renew their contracts.

The super luxury tax rules are used by NBA executives to drive Li Lei away.

Why does the league do this? Because the Heat are too strong.

Especially the Heat, which has Li Lei, has scared the league.

When the news spread, Miami fans and Chinese fans joined forces to accuse the NBA senior executives of various insults.

"I feel sorry for Shi Tou, it turns out that he is the biggest victim."

"Do you regret those who scold him?"

"I knew Stone was not an ungrateful villain."

But none of these changes what has happened.

More importantly, except for Miami fans and Chinese fans, other fans expressed their support.

A saying began to circulate among the fans:

Li Lei left, it was dawn!

After two years of rule over the NBA, the other 29 teams were scared. The fearful Heat team dispersed like a dark cloud.

...

Now, it's time for Li Lei to find a new team.

As a complete free agent, Li Lei is qualified to choose a team.

In addition to the Heat, 25 other teams have contacted Li Lei.

After the Heat said goodbye, the other four teams also came to Li Lei.

The big-name stars of NBA are also contacting Li Lei crazily.

Garnett, James, Anthony, Kobe, Pierce, Duncan, Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Iverson...

Without exception.

However, before the finals, Li Lei had already set his goal.

The first goal: The Heat.

The second goal: the team in Los Angeles.

Later, Mr. Jerry West also convinced Li Lei, who also added the Grizzlies to the second goal.

Excluding the Heat, Li Lei has only three main goals to consider.

Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies.

Li Lei needs to conduct a slow investigation before making a decision.

Because of all kinds of things, Li Lei felt a little tired.

Bill Duffy advised Li Lei to rest and go out for vacation.

However, Li Lei still invited Tim Graver.

The weekly salary is still 50,000 US dollars.

Who knew that after Graver came, he also advised Li Lei to rest.

In the past three years, Li Lei has played twice to the finals and once to the Eastern Conference Finals, with a much larger number of games than ordinary players.

Graver felt that it was easy to get hurt.

But Li Lei was very stubborn and insisted on training.

...
