NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

Feel O'Neill's burning eyes!

Then look at the curious eyes of others.

Qin Feng stood there dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

Why did I suddenly become the focus of this banquet?

The "Magician" Johnson standing next to him also didn't know why, and stepped aside very quickly after reacting.

He knew that everyone was paying attention to Qin Feng, so he didn't stand by Qin Feng's side to be an eyesore.

Thinking of this, Johnson couldn't help but feel a little sad. Once upon a time, he was like Qin Feng, and he was the focus of attention wherever he went.

Although he is still a well-known figure now, he is far less brilliant than when he was still playing.

"Qin, thank you very much for giving me the face to attend today's dinner."

O'Neill said affectionately.

There was applause immediately.

Qin Feng smiled politely at O'Neill, somewhat embarrassed.

Not because of O'Neill's words, but because of everyone's applause.

Does this deserve applause?

"As you can see, the Lakers are a very warm family!"

"Now that I have retired, I am not afraid of the league's punishment. I sincerely hope that you can join the Lakers after becoming a free agent and continue the glory of the Zijin Dynasty!"

O'Neill continued, looking very serious.

Immediately.

The whole hall fell into silence.

It can be said that a needle can be heard.

What did O'Neal just say?Actually helping the Lakers recruit Qin Feng?

This is really incredible!

It seems that the Lakers' operation was really fierce, and it completely took O'Neal's heart away, and he was still thinking about the Lakers after he retired.

Just like "Magic" Johnson.

The key is that O'Neill's blatant and undisguised recruitment is really amazing.

This makes the Thunder's management feel embarrassed.

After all, they have no ability to keep Qin Feng.

Where does this put the rules of the NBA league?

After all, the league clearly stipulates that other teams cannot openly recruit players during the time a player contracts to play for the team.

Such an operation is illegal.

The NBA league charter clearly states that owners, general managers, coaches, players or scouts cannot recruit players who are still under contract with other teams.

The potential penalty for illegal recruitment is also serious. The offending team may be deprived of draft rights and sent to the victim team, and even the signing of free agents can be declared invalid.

And team executives found responsible could be fined up to $500 million.

Players recruited in violation of the rules may be suspended.

Even with such severe penalties, illegal recruitment is still not uncommon.

But such a blatant recruitment like O'Neal's is really rare.

This also reflects from the side how much Qin Feng's becoming a free agent has affected the league!

All the teams that have the salary space to sign Qin Feng are gearing up, thinking of various ways to win over Qin Feng and give Qin Feng a good impression.

It's just that I don't know if O'Neal, as a retired player, will be punished by the league, and what kind of punishment will be given. This is unknown.

Banquet hall.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lakers general manager Kupchak again.

If the league really wants to punish, I am afraid it will punish the Lakers management!

After all, anyone can see that the reason why O'Neal made such a move must be the instruction of the Lakers management.

This Kupchak is really shrewd!

Everyone guessed.

Kupchak smiled awkwardly but politely.

This time everyone misunderstood him.

Kupchak himself didn't know about O'Neill's behavior!

After all, when he signed Dayao during the offseason last year, Kupchak already knew that Qin Feng had a high probability of joining the Lakers.

So there is no need to do this at all!

When O'Neill finished speaking, Kupchak became nervous, for fear that Qin Feng would be angry.

the other side.

The expression of "Magician" Johnson also lit up, looking at Qin Feng with anticipation in his eyes.

This fat man O'Neill is really good at it!

Recruiting Qin Feng on this occasion really gave Qin Feng enough face. After all, those present were either rich or expensive, and Qin Feng became the absolute focus.

"Hey man, thanks for the kindness! I'll think about it!"

Qin Feng said with a smile, he didn't use the same set of words to deal with reporters to deal with O'Neill.

After all, O'Neill is so generous.

Of course, his operation also made Qin Feng a little embarrassed, but he believed that O'Neill certainly didn't take this into consideration when he came up with this idea.

So don't blame O'Neill.

O'Neill nodded heavily, and winked at Kupchak for a while.

After saying a few more words, the dinner began directly.

Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, chatting while drinking the 82-year-old Lafite and eating top-notch dishes.

Johnson was originally with Qin Feng, but there were too many acquaintances at the dinner party, so he went to say hello one by one.

So Qin Feng stood alone in the corner, tasting the delicious food.

Oh no!

There is also a bunny girl standing beside her, staring at Qin Feng affectionately.

Kupchak saw the opportunity and walked towards Qin Feng quickly.

"Qin, I'm very glad to meet you here. I want to say that O'Neill's recruitment of you just now was indeed beyond my expectation."

Kupchak smiled easily, but his eyes were cautious.

The bunny girl next to her was stunned when she saw that the general manager of the Lakers team was being polite to a player.

Then she couldn't help but her mind fluttered, and the eyes she looked at Qin Feng became more blurred.

This is the top superstar in the NBA!

Even those team owners are still polite to Qin Feng!

"I know! O'Neill must have come up with a hotheaded idea."

Qin Feng said lightly.

Kupchak nodded and fell silent.

After all, Qin Feng will lead the Thunder to play against the Lakers tomorrow. At this time, it would be a little inappropriate if he got into a hot chat with the opponent's star as the general manager.

a long time.

After a few simple greetings, Kupchak turned and left.

Afterwards, O'Neill found Qin Feng again, chatted briefly, and went to greet other guests.

Qin Feng was bored, so he took his bunny girl and left...

"Honey, wait a minute, this bunny girl's look is really in the way."

"It doesn't matter, I just like this look!"

.......

the next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Qin Feng opened his eyes, feeling the bright sunshine on the west coast, and couldn't help but feel comfortable.

Stretch.

Qin Feng got up and ran towards the training hall after breakfast.

Come to the training hall.

When the Thunder players saw Qin Feng, their eyes were all strange.

"Kevin, what's the situation? I always feel that everyone looks at me a little weirdly?"
