Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

In fact, Li Shengli actually returned to China.

On the one hand, he wanted to see Dayao's situation and make up for the investment promised to Dongzi and the others. On the other hand, he had already received news about this year's draft. There were indeed domestic players participating in the draft.

No kidding.

Thanks to the management and construction in recent years, the Greenville base camp is no longer as simple as Li Shengli and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar expected. It has also taken on the role of an unofficial gathering of information during the offseason and a post-draft rookie meeting. Functional venues, Stern didn’t say anything about this…

Therefore, the depth and breadth of the information collected by the base camp is amazing. As the host, Li Shengli always has the widest network of contacts and information sources. Of course, he also knows some general things about the draft.

Players participating in the election must be announced every year, so there is no need to ask about this.

But the problem is that participating in the draft does not mean that you can be selected. Each team's eyes are locked on a small number of outstanding players, and the news Li Shengli received is...the Mavericks, whom he once played for, have already prepared for this project a long time ago. To work, general manager Toby and head coach Nelson have personally gone to China to lobby the parties and teams involved, but the lobbying effect is not good.

Li Shengli didn't know this news before.

After hearing the news after the finals, he immediately connected with Shanghai team coach Li Qiuping, who was most familiar in domestic basketball circles, and asked about the situation. However, Li Qiuping was very secretive about the matter, so Li Shengli went directly to Shanghai.

…

Lao Li, how is Dayao doing lately?

What else can we do? He has already entered the national team. He is a good prospect for us!

Arriving all the way in Shanghai, he made an appointment with Li Qiuping to meet at a restaurant. Li Shengli didn't show any politeness and asked straight to the point: What about the NBA draft? Do you not know about it or don't you want to tell me?

Well, if you weren't the most familiar with me in this circle in China, otherwise I wouldn't even bother to talk about you! Li Qiuping rolled his eyes and continued: You said you...really, I don't understand why you are so keen on these things. , Is it really true that he can help the world by doing great things, why don’t we see that our domestic players have buried their talents?”

I... let's go. I don't have such noble sentiments.

What about your foundation? After spending so much money, what are you trying to do? I haven't seen the name of the picture in your promotion. It's trying to make money... well, let's not talk about making money. It's basically nothing. To be honest, if I have so much money like you, I won’t bother to deal with the mess here. This is not a problem that money can solve. Regardless of how well you play, there are some things that you don’t understand as well as I do.”

The two chatted for a while, and the topic officially turned to the focus player this time, Bayi Wang Zhizhi.

Let's not talk about personal abilities, and let's not talk about whether it is hype. The fact that the general manager of the Mavericks and Nelson came to invite people in person is a side proof of their strength. After all, Toby and Nelson are not idle people. , it is rare for the two of them to leave the field in person, hoping to strengthen a stable inside line for the team.

Is it suitable?

The Mavericks management doesn’t know, but looking at the current situation... Wang Zhizhi’s weight in the domestic basketball world is very important and exaggerated. He led the team to two consecutive championships in August 11, and won the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, Finals MVP, and even a slam dunk contest. He wants every championship.

The top insider in the country, a super giant in the basketball world, and his dominance is amazing!

The season average of 26 points + 11 rebounds + 2.1 blocks per game is very strong. Even if the league model is a replica of the NBA, the size of the CBA cannot be compared with the NBA. It is not on the same level, but the problem is... Commander of the Mongolian Navy , that is also at the level of commander. Who can think of a commander as a cadre?

Of course, CBA is not that good.

…

To be honest with you, it's not that simple for him to leave.

Bayi has won two consecutive championships now and is waiting for the third championship. It is similar to the situation you have in the United States, so it is basically impossible to let the Bayi team release players. And there are blue shoes... There are a lot of international competitions now. , No one wants to leave the national team unused because of lack of time. After all, we are not in the NBA here. We can catch a lot of players, and his personal interests will not be considered by both parties.

Then there's no chance? Li Shengli asked.

I guess not. This kind of thing depends on the person himself. Why are you so anxious?

Do you think I'm in a hurry? Lao Li, let me tell you the truth. As for Wang Zhizhi, I hope he can play in the NBA. But after all, we don't know each other well and have never even met. I don't plan to be a good guy yet. Of course, if he has something to ask me for help, then I will definitely help him. Li Shengli glanced at Li Qiuping and continued: Mainly... my Yao, when I hear what you said, it still reminds me of Yao Yao. Do you mean you are in a bad situation?

What do you think?

Fuck, your Shanghai team won't do this, right?

Then let me tell you the truth. First of all, I have nothing to do with you! Li Qiuping knocked on the table and said slowly: Dayao has great potential and is very important to us. If he wants to play NBA, the people above me have already spoken out and mentioned three 'suits': the right team, the right time and the right conditions!

The little temple demon is so powerful? It's so official...

Hey, we shouldn't say anything, but don't say it!

Li Qiuping shook his head in embarrassment and could only explain the details of the conditions to Li Shengli... The first is that the NBA team must use players of the same level to exchange for Yao Ming. The final step is that the NBA team must invest a senior coach in the Shanghai team. Provide guidance.

What is exaggerated is that the NBA team is also required to help Shanghai build a youth basketball training school and bear the cost of building a modern stadium in Shanghai.

What if the Bayi team also requested this?

What a slap on Wang Zhizhi's side. Unless the Mavericks' management has no brains, they won't stick to this cold butt, especially Toby, a budget-conscious general manager who was very picky about increasing Li Shengli's contract in the first place.

Who made the request?

Don't you want to eat shit?

…

Oh my god, this... is simply unbelievable, Lao Li!

Damn it, just listen to it. This is just what the boss wants. If Dayao doesn't give up, the boss will ask him to pay a 'training fee'. Calculate it based on your annual salary at that time. Your contract will be signed next year. How much is it? In U.S. dollars.”

Are you crazy about money? Li Shengli thought for a while. According to his contract, it would be one thousand eighty-nine by then. This means that he would have to compensate others even if he didn't even play Yao ball. Ten million US dollars is an exaggeration if you discount it in half.

Fuck, I can't understand, it's just a robbery!

Okay, why are you excited! Li Qiuping said with an ugly face: We haven't reached that point yet. You are the only one who can save Dayao now. By the way, you can also save the kid Wang Zhizhi.

Me? Lao Li, we are our own family. Don't trick me when you are so old! Li Shengli slammed the table and cursed: It's no problem to save Dayao, I agree, but the question is... is it difficult for me to get it? I'll give you the money to build a basketball school, build a gymnasium after that, and then use more than 10 million U.S. dollars to redeem Yao's life. You really think I'm being taken advantage of. The boss of your team... I've seen him be so shameless. I’ve never seen a horse riding before.”

Ahem, the lion's open mouth proves that there is still talk! Li Qiuping said calmly: Isn't your foundation already on the way? It is also your idea to build a basketball school. If our superiors want it, then let's jointly build it. It doesn’t violate your original intention.”

I feel unlucky!

Well, as for building a modern sports venue, it's just a threshold that was deliberately raised.

This...this is so disgusting!

There's also Dayao's training fee, which shouldn't escape. Don't look at me. I know this is nonsense, but if Dayao really wants to beat you like this, it's not just...well, me Didn’t say anything.”

You also know this is nonsense?

There's no way, that's it! Li Qiuping took a deep breath and continued: But there are some things that no one can mess with. Now you can do the most.

Tell me about it!

Well, the team can do it. Have you thought about the blue shoes? Our situation is quite special. In fact, as long as we get the blue shoes, the team is secondary. Just...next year's Olympics, victory!
