Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

NCAA March Madness.

The Dongka game is finally over. Although the next game has nothing to do with them, Li Shengli still pays attention to the final semi-finals.

Been fighting for days.

The Michigan Fab Five, which eliminated East Carolina, broke through and joined the NCAA giants Duke University in the finals.

However, the background of Duke University is not comparable to that of East Carolina. The head player Christian Laettner's performance is quite eye-catching. Although the University of Michigan has the inside twin towers composed of Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, they are all first-year freshmen after all. In terms of competition experience, they are far inferior to Duke University led by Leitner, who is already a senior.

In the end, the score of the two sides was 51:71, the Michigan Five Tigers lost, and Duke University won the season championship again and reached the top of the NCAA.

...

At this point, the NCAA tournament is all over.

Li Shengli entered a relatively free time. Not long after the game, under the urging of Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he submitted an application for participating in the NBA draft. After that, NCAA players announced their participation in the draft one after another. There are many of them. An acquaintance of Li Shengli.

The first one, of course, is Shaq O'Neal who has never met before.

Although the two had never met face to face, the unscrupulous media set up a showdown between God and Satan, which aroused great attention from the outside world.

The second is the tough guy Alonzo Mourning.

Although Mourning's Georgetown University stopped in the top 32, his performance throughout the season was perfect, of course...if he didn't meet Li Shengli.

The third is Christian Laettner of Duke University. Although Li Shengli has never met him, he is the player who led the team to the top of the NCAA after all. His personal ability and leadership ability are absolutely beyond doubt.

In addition to the three popular inside players, Li Shengli's old acquaintance, Barry's son Joan Barry also signed up for the draft, but there are too many super insiders who signed up for this draft, so... With Joan Barry's performance The predicted draft pick will not be too high.

...

Time passed quickly, and it was May 1992 in the blink of an eye.

Although Dongka lost the 8-to-4 match more than a month ago, Li Shengli still did not relax his training plan. In fact... even if he wanted to be lazy, the always strict Thompson and Kareem would not let him do so.

Apart from the tedious training, Li Shengli was happiest when he received the long-awaited full scholarship, and this huge sum of money was a tax-free personal consumption bonus. And he planned it long ago... Gritting his teeth, he took out five thousand dollars and handed it to Thompson.

Poor to poor, picky to picky, Li Shengli felt that he could not lose his integrity.

During the past few months, his board and lodging have all been paid by Thompson, so the money is for accommodation and food on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as tuition fees for Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Five thousand dollars in tuition and fees?

Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were a little dumbfounded, lamenting their "cheapness". Although they didn't like this small amount of money, they liked to see Li Shengli's distressed appearance bleeding, so they gladly accepted the tuition and miscellaneous fees.

As for the rest of the money.

He chose to save most of them, and was looking for an opportunity to remit them back to his hometown, leaving only a small part of consumption... He took off the three-piece suit that he had spent some time with, changed into decent clothes, and ordered a decent suit , Of course, the biggest expenditure is to buy a mobile phone, which is commonly known as a mobile phone.

...

Speaking of it, Li Shengli has an almost paranoid love for Big Brother. After all, this thing is a symbol of the status of the rich in China...

"Hello...Hello...Excuse me, is this Coach Eddie?" Li Shengli was holding a small book with a few private numbers on it.

"Li, what's the matter?"

"Cough...it's okay, I'm just trying to see if the phone is broken."

"Oh God, are you crazy? That's what you said yesterday, please stop harassing me, bye!"

Beep beep!

Eddie hung up the phone angrily, and Li Shengli swiped at the small book several times...

"Hello, is this Mr. Thompson?"

"Hello, is Mr. Kareem here?"

Brother Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were also tortured to the point of crying. They received such boring calls every half an hour...

If you ask him what's wrong, he will tell you to try to see if the phone is broken.

You ask him why he does it every half an hour, and he will tell you that the phone was fine half an hour ago, but half an hour later...he can't be sure.

Who can resist this?

The two brothers really wanted to smash the phone in Li Shengli's hand.

...

Until dinner time.

Although Thompson was harassed tirelessly, he still reminded him: "Lee, it will be the NBA draft joint trial soon, are you ready to participate?"

The combine is the first step in the NBA draft.

Players who announce their participation in the draft will basically receive an official joint trial training invitation before the lottery meeting. The trial training is scheduled at the Madison Garden Arena in New York...

"Joint training? Oh, God, this is really a boring thing. If you have this time, you might as well use it for training yourself. I don't think...Lee doesn't need to participate at all!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a little disdainful.

In fact, many of the hottest rookies in each season don't bother to participate in the joint trial training, because their performance has determined that they will be selected in the top picks, and the so-called joint trial training center is dispensable for them.

Those who are strong do not need to use joint trial training to show themselves.

But... players who are weak and rarely receive attention are in great need, and even desperately show themselves to qualify for the first round of the show and to be selected by a certain team.

Judging from the current situation, Li Shengli's performance is definitely one of the biggest favorites in this draft, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar naturally does not want Li Shengli to lose his worth and participate in a joint trial training with a bunch of weak chickens.

"Actually, I think so too." Thompson nodded, looked at Li Shengli and said, "It's up to you to go or not to this joint trial training."

Li Shengli doesn't know much about the joint trial training, but when he thinks about it... everything is on the safe side. Although the current performance is not bad, since he has decided to participate in the draft, he must try to do his best. After all, Thompson As I said, the salaries of high picks are much higher than those of low picks.

"I'm going! However, it seems that I haven't received the invitation yet?"

"Okay, you can go as long as you want. The official invitation doesn't matter. I think... there should be news in the next few days. You just need to be prepared."

"All right."

Participating in the joint trial training has been finalized, and Li Shengli has finally taken his first step towards the NBA!

Thanks to Wanyue_Shun and Tututu for their rewards! !
