Chapter 407 Have You Ever Seen Dallas at 4 AM?

Speaking of which, the NBA finished playing the finals in mid-June, and there is basically nothing left for Li Shengli. In fact, there are still many major events in the NBA this year.

First of all, the NBA’s plan to expand Canada has taken the first step. In the new season, it is confirmed that there will be two new teams joining the league, namely the Toronto Raptors and the Vancouver Grizzlies. They are also the only two non-American teams in the NBA. team.

It is a good thing to have a new army join, whether it is for the league officials or for the unsatisfactory players, but Li Shengli is really not interested, because it is not good, just like when the Hornets, Magic, Heat, and Timberwolves joined the four armies Like the league, the previous few seasons did not pose a decent threat to the East and West playoffs.

As for the calf...

Li Shengli wants to win the championship!

His biggest thought in the new season must be to lead the team to win the championship.

The first season was considered to be a running-in lineup. It took a long time for a whole season, but there is no way, and the new season... with luck, the Dallas Mavericks can really look forward to a wave, and almost all hope In this draft conference.

In fact, in the draft lottery after the finals, the Mavericks had already confirmed that they had the No. 11 and No. 15 picks. On the one hand... The Warriors won the No. 76 pick, the Clippers No. [-], the [-]th pick, the Bullets' fourth pick, and the Timberwolves' fifth pick.

The higher the lottery, the greater the choice. Everyone is targeting the popular players in the draft this time, and the Dallas Mavericks' management has held an emergency meeting long before the draft and after the lottery.

There is no doubt that the current Mavericks have already obtained the cornerstone of the team first. As long as the staffing is done around Li Shengli and there are no obvious shortcomings in each position, then the Dallas Chariot is full of gas and ready to start. The big question is... how should Dallas choose, who to choose, and how to operate.

To be honest, the Mavericks are currently looking at two candidates. The first is Rasheed Wallace from North Carolina, the cradle of superstars, and the second is Kevin Garnett, a high school draft player. The former is more advantageous, because...Kevin Garnett is a high school student.

Although the result of the joint trial training everyone has seen how good Garnett is, but there are great uncertainties in terms of both physical and psychological aspects. Let him play the NCAA No. 20 pick for a few years, and he will definitely not be left behind. To participate in the draft as a player, every team has to consider the risks involved, and to put it bluntly... Garnett is a young boy under [-] who has not yet completed his development.

To be reasonable, if Garnett really wants to join the NBA, he will break a record for the youngest player in the league, but at such a young age... In the NBA, which represents the highest level of basketball competition, who knows what his future will be? what kind.

Unsteady mentality and poor performance when playing?

Not tough enough, afraid of old gangsters who have been around for a long time?

Without high-intensity confrontation experience, you get injured or broken when you come up?

Everything is possible, so high school students participating in the draft must not have a high pick, but a low pick and good potential are the reasons why the Mavericks are targeting Kevin Garnett.

……

Mentally unstable?

To be honest, the Mavericks are really not afraid of this, because the stability and dominance of Li Shengli's leadership is enough to make all teammates feel at ease!

Not tough enough, afraid of old hooligans?

The Mavericks are not afraid of this, because everyone except Li Shengli himself thinks that Li Shengli is the biggest hooligan newly promoted. After one season, under the influence of Li Shengli, the speed of transformation of the Mavericks team's style of play is astonishing, not as good as usual. Iron-blooded jazz, but he is also a tough guy who has a headache for everyone... As for Li Shengli bringing the young and highly malleable Kevin Garnett, it seems that he is not tough at all, right?

Based on this, the current goal of the Mavericks is fairly clear.

If something goes wrong, Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett enter the top three picks, then give up the chase directly, and if the two fall to fifth or later, then they must pack Two draws, add head up trade to catch up with one hand.

The stable Rasheed Wallace has a higher priority, while the potential stock Kevin Garnett has a lower priority. Even if the price of such pursuit is relatively high, it is far better not to pursue it, but in fact... Li Shengli Dallas has come to "go to the countryside to help the poor". Dallas has no reason to suffer from Li Shengli, and let him fight alone in the interior.

……

6 month 28 number.

The 1995 NBA Draft was held as scheduled in Toronto, the home of the Raptors, one of the rookies in the NBA. Li Shengli was still in his hometown in China and had no way to get the news immediately. The source of the news was Curry’s international long-distance calls, and Curry was more caring. Considering the time difference between China and the United States, he called Li Shengli at 4:[-] a.m. to wake up and pee.

"Curry, are you sick? Do you know that it's only 4 a.m. on my side, and it's still dark, brother."

"Shit, why are you so lazy?" Curry on the other end of the phone said disgustedly: "What's wrong with it at 4 in the morning? Have you ever seen Dallas at 4 in the morning? I got up and started training."

Dallas at 4am?

I also believe others, but you Curry... No one believes you when you add 4 to your horse. I have never seen you, a bastard, participate in training before 8 o'clock.

Li Shengli was convinced by Curry, rubbed his eyes and asked: "I have something to say, I'm going to sleep if I have nothing to do!"

"Of course there is something, or do you think I'm boring?" Curry was afraid that Li Shengli would hang up the phone, and hurriedly said: "Draft, you won't forget such an important thing, right? You don't even know how disgusting this time is." , there are too many things, I..."

"The draft? Big brother, I still have to sleep. Can you be more direct and tell me the key point, who did we choose?"

"Well, what we got was... the fifth overall pick, Kevin Garnett. Do you remember, this kid is the high school student I told you before, the youngest player in the history of the league, Of course, he is also the youngest active player."

Kevin Garnett?

The fifth pick in high school?

Li Shengli rubbed his head and suddenly became excited, "You won't lie to me, right? How did we handle the fifth pick? The 11th and 15th picks are not so big, right?"

"Nonsense, the management also included Doug Smith, this time we..."

"Wait a minute, what about the Rasheed Wallace you told me about earlier?"

"This kid was picked by the Washington Bullets with the fourth pick, and only Kevin Garnett is the most suitable fifth pick. Believe me, the result is perfect. Next season we..."

"Damn it, wait a little longer!" Li Shengli suddenly thought of another thing, "The fifth pick seems to belong to the Timberwolves, right?"

"That's right! Oh, by the way, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me about it. When are you coming back?"

"Why, I've only been home for half a month."

"Don't be silly, come back quickly if you have nothing to do, our side is about to explode."

……

When he said this, Curry seemed more irritable, and this slight change in tone made Li Shengli frowned and had a bad feeling, "What happened?"

"Damn it, it's all messed up."

"Let's talk about things, big brother, let's talk about the key points!"

"Hey...didn't the rest of us go to your base camp in Greenville to play all the time during the offseason, but these few days are really evil. You have group fights every now and then, and I'm convinced."

fight?

Still riding horses and fighting in groups?

Not to mention Curry, Li Shengli was also convinced, "Fuck, which psycho is fighting in my house? Who and who?"

"You can't control it after talking about it. Anyway, you will know when you come back to see it. Also, remember to comfort Mourning. We accepted Kevin Garnett. This kid... Hey, he is going crazy."
