Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Chapter 44 The Conversation between Yang Li and Dayao

Of course, before the free market opens, there is one more important thing.

That is the NBA's annual draft conference!

As early as May 5th, the drawing of lots had already been held.

The order of the picks is pretty much the same as in the previous life, the only difference is that the Clippers have left the lottery.

So the Clippers were originally the 8th pick in the first round, but now they are the 24th pick in the first round.

This is something that can't be helped, it can't be just for a lottery for a year.

Cultivating players is not something that can be cultivated by losing all the time. Losing all the time will affect the players' self-confidence.

If the Clippers keep losing in their rookie season, I believe Curry Harden and others will never grow to this level.

Since the draft picks that Yang Li hoarded are all after next year, Yang Li has to find a way to operate this year.

While waiting for the opening of the draft, Yang Li did another big thing.

He secretly went back to China and came to a sports brand company located in Hujian.

This is Yang Li's own sports brand, called "Qingli", and it still mainly produces basketball-related equipment.

Two years ago, he sent people to study in Hujian Kamata for more than half a year, and finally acquired a shoe factory with the largest scale and the most mature technology.

Then based on the shoe factory, a series of basketball peripheral products such as jerseys and protective gear were derived.

The purpose of Yang Li's return to China this time is to see how the Curry and Harden generations are doing.

The reason why Yang Li dares to start his own sports brand is not because he can "know the pearl".

Which stars can be expected in the future, I will find them to sign the contract.

When they all grow up, they will naturally bring their own brands to life.

Just like Curry in the previous life, one person brought Under Armor to heights that it shouldn't have.

If you hook those big companies, you will only find those future stars who are visible to the naked eye to sign.

For example, John Wall this summer, and thick eyebrows next summer.

But Yang Li, he can definitely pick up the loopholes.

What about Antetokounmpo, asking teachers, etc., when they hit the hook and want to sign with them.

I have already cut off my beard!

Curry, Harden, Ibaka Jordan and others all signed brand contracts with Qingli early.

After walking around in his company, Yang Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The creativity of Chinese people really cannot be underestimated.

In just over a year, the research and development department has mastered air cushion technology to a level that does not belong to foreign big brands.

Money can really turn ghosts around.

The hook engineer who spent a lot of money to dig, coupled with the establishment of a domestic technical team, the effect is full!

Yang Li definitely dare not say that running a sports brand is better than hooks and other international brands, but it is definitely no problem to be the number one in China!

Dare to spend money, pay attention to research and development, and sign a good star.

On these three points, there is no domestic brand that can play too lightly.

After a few years, when the contract between Adi and the NBA expires, Yang Li will directly offer a contract that is better than the hook and cooperate with the NBA!

Where does the money come from?

Naturally, Bitcoin is fried!

Now Yang Li not only opened a small mine at home, but also created many different accounts to collect bitcoins.

This not only improves the liquidity of Bitcoin, but also prevents the bankers who use Bitcoin to see that there is another big player who they don't know is collecting coins.

Otherwise, if they find out, they will probably give up Bitcoin.

After inspecting his company, while still in China, Yang Li flew directly to Yangcheng to meet an old friend.

That's right, it is the pride of the Chinese people, Dayao!

Last season, whenever the Clippers and Rockets played games, Yang Li would ask Dayao to have a meal alone.

His respect and love for Dayao is extraordinary.

The current Chinese people don't have this awareness yet, but Yang Li, a person from the Rebirth Kingdom, must understand:

Dayao is a treasure for domestic basketball.

After Dayao retired, there has never been a player like Dayao in China.

Even, there are no more players like the United Arab Emirates.

In the end, players of Qiqi's level became the only hope for domestic basketball.

It is true that there are no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua is the vanguard.

Today's dinner is arranged not far from the national team training base.

The national team training camp is for the World Championships two months later.

Although Dayao did not play in this year's World Championships because of a knee injury.

But as long as Dayao is there, the backbone of this national team will be there.

So no matter whether Dayao can play or not, he must be there!

Because Ye Li is in confinement in Houston, only Dayao returned to China for this training camp.

"Brother Yao, no matter what we talked about today, you have to go back and talk to your sister-in-law. After all, you also have a child now, and you should discuss some things with your sister-in-law."

As soon as Yang Li started, he said to Dayao very sincerely.

"Well, for sure." Dayao smiled and nodded.

Seeing the expression on Dayao's face, Yang Li knew that today's matter had a high probability of success.

"Today you asked me to discuss something important, so let's talk about it." Dayao glanced at his watch and said.

He can't come out for too long, after all, the national team training camp is not a vacation.

"Two things, one is on the field and the other is off the field." Yang Li stretched out two fingers and said.

"The thing on the court is that you want me to go to the Clippers?" Dayao smiled, then glanced at his ankle, "I don't know if I can play next season."

"You will definitely not be able to play next season." Yang Li said firmly, "At least you have to train for 11 years."

"You think so too?" Dayao asked curiously, "That's why my doctor advised me not to participate in this World Championship."

"Not only your doctor, I'm afraid the team doctor of the national team will not allow it." Yang Li said, "Otherwise this year will be the last year of your career."

Yang Like really wasn't scaring Dayao, the former Dayao came back in the 10-11 season.

As a result, after only five games, he suffered another ankle stress fracture and was reimbursed for the season.

After that, Dayao never played even 1 minute of the game.

Finally, on July 2011, 7, Dayao announced his retirement.

This is bad news for both the NBA and the fans of the national men's basketball team.

And Yang Li, he wants to change all this!

Not only does he want to continue Dayao's career, he also wants to let Dayao get the nba championship ring!

"What is your suggestion?" Dayao was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and asked.

"I hope that next season you can continue to cultivate until your body is completely ready to play before you come back." Yang Li said and stretched out a finger.

"But most importantly, you have to lose weight!"
