Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The championship parade is over, and for Li Shengli, this season is completely over.

The offseason is a time for players to relax, and Li Shengli still has several advertising endorsements to shoot before returning to China. Without exception, this is all due to his agent Old Turner.

Old Turner has been in this industry for a long time. Although powerful agents can sign many stars, compared with them, Old Turner is more like a self-employed person. Thompson introduced him to Li Shengli for convenience in this regard. .

The target of the old era is matched with the gun of the new era, Li Shengli!

Old Turner didn't say how great his agent's job was, but he was worthy of his commission, and the endorsement ads he signed for Li Shengli were all serious ads. One was for the food industry, and the other was for electronic products. Endorsement.

It is worth mentioning that these were contracts finalized during the season, not after winning the championship. Although the endorsement fee seemed appropriate at the beginning, it was far from Li Shengli’s current worth, and several manufacturers picked it up. Saved a lot of money.

However, the old Turner was also getting better with age, and the contracts finalized were not long-term. In the past few days, the filming of two commercials was finally completed, and Li Shengli finally had time to go to Greenville to visit Thompson.

…

Thompson's villa has now become a senior activity center.

Not only Thompson, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Turner Lao, there are also some old friends of several people, and even Bird, the pretentious king who sneaked into the team this season, often meets here, and Lao Ma and Ma Qiangdong are naturally still big friends. Steward and cook.

Speaking of which, Li Shengli won the championship. Apart from himself and his Jazz teammates and coaches, Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were the happiest. At first, they thought that Li Shengli might have to grind for several seasons before he could succeed, but the two did not expect that this process would be intensified. To such an extent, not only did he win the championship, he also won an FMVP in his rookie season?

Who dares to believe this horse riding?

Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar really feel a bit dreamy.

So far, only Magic Johnson has won the FMVP in his rookie season. At that time, because the original Lakers leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured, point guard Magic was appointed as the starting center.

Rookie point guard playing starting center?

This may sound strange, but the magician actually did it, and he did it brilliantly.

In addition, Li Shengli was the second player to achieve this honor. Although he was one defense, Li Shengli was not selected due to the issue of the direction of the Rookie of the Year award. The same was true for O'Neal, who was squeezed out by Olajuwon. , but Olajuwon is also feeling bitter...

In the playoffs, Li Shengli was knocked down in both the rebounding and blocked shot rankings, especially the rebounding list. What's even more damning is... Li Shengli actually tied for the top spot with Jordan in the scoring list, becoming the third leader among the five.

Olajuwon's humiliation of one goal and one defense this season!

O'Neal's Rookie of the Year award is even more ugly!

It can be said that this season, Li Shengli was in trouble. In the first half of the Eastern Conference, the Hornets and the Pistons were very prosperous, and they were almost disabled. In the second half, the Jazz in the Western Conference did not stop, and they were in a state of chaos. Jump, directly swept the opponents in two rounds of the playoffs, and also defeated the Eastern Bulls and won the championship.

Therefore, the center position has truly ushered in an era of hellish melee and the rise of gods.

…

As for the original Jazz, it was indeed a strong team, but it was only a strong team. Since Li Shengli joined, there has been a qualitative leap, and the entire team has become a universal card.

When it comes to tactics, the Jazz do not have distinctive tactical characteristics, but they can defeat anyone with one force!

Just look at the level of the Olympic Dream Team. Under the overwhelming strength, the coach who leads the team really gets the honor for nothing, and the Jazz's Limas is definitely at the level of the Dream Team.

With these three aces together, even if the Jazz are sent to face the first Dream Team, they will not necessarily lose. Li Shengli seems to be born with his own system, and he can perfectly integrate into the established tactics and fully implement the deployment of his old man Sloan.

Easy to use, practical, hit wherever you point, and explode wherever you hit. This is Sloan's evaluation of Li Shengli!

As far as the team is concerned, if one place is strong, it will be strong everywhere.

The Jazz's inside line has become the strongest benchmark in the entire league. Not to mention that their own inside line is strong, they are like a mule or a horse. You will know it after practicing with the Jazz's Li Dajou and Ma Dajou. However, there is a terrifying Sir outside the Jazz. Crotch picking, this is the most irritating thing.

Born to be king!

This is the current impression the Jazz have on the United States, and no one dares to underestimate such a team in the competition next season.

…

"Li, when you get the ring, don't forget to give it to me to see!"

In the living room, Thompson, who was full of wine and food, was lying comfortably on the sofa. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Old Turner were serious, while Ma Qiangdong on the side took a rest and was picking his teeth.

"Stop being embarrassed here, you want to see the ring I have!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at Thompson with disdain, then turned to Li Shengli and said: "Li, how long do you plan to go back? You know, it is very important to maintain a good physical condition. Yes, even in the offseason, your training cannot stop, I will arrange specific training for you based on your performance this season!"

Although Li Shengli has been training very seriously, who wouldn't want to be lazy? And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's words made him embarrassed to say... He actually planned to come back before the preseason.

"Should be soon."

"Oh, by the way, Li, how much money do you have now?!" Old Turner asked suddenly, which made Li Shengli stunned for a moment.

How much money do I have?

Don't you, the agent, know? !

In fact, Old Turner really doesn’t know. After all, no one knows how much everyone has to spend. They know how much you earn, but no one knows how much you spend.

"Why are you asking this?" Li Shengli replied.

His contract annual salary is 2.4 million, excluding miscellaneous taxes and various fees, it is about 110. When he was with the Hornets, there were suspensions and fines. When he arrived with the Jazz, he paid a top-matching ticket to his younger brother Crotty. Including the remittances back to the country and daily expenses, I still have seventy or eighty left on hand.

"I think you need to buy a property here!" Old Turner said, and Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar next to him also nodded in agreement, and Old Turner continued: "Although the dollar value has always been stable, the real estate has also been stable. It can increase the value of your wealth to a certain extent, so this will be a good investment choice for you. And..."

"And what?"

"And, you can put the property next to mine!" Thompson continued: "This is the No. 1 villa in this area. You can take the No. 2, so that we can be neighbors."

"Moreover, you can turn No. 2 into a private club, just like Thompson's." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then responded.

"Moreover, you can invite your friends to join this club. It is no exaggeration to say that ordinary players do not have this qualification. Only active stars can join. You can probably understand it as...the active version of the Hall of Fame!" Turner said the final 'and'.

The current version of the Hall of Fame? !

Isn't this Ta Ma a clique and poaching Stern? !

At the end of the day, Li Shengli asked himself that he did not have the ability to attract all the current stars. Another point is that this kind of private club does not seem to make much sense. After all, everyone is a player. Usually, no one obeys anyone. Why did joining Li Shengli's private club make Li Shengli the leader? Instead of getting one yourself and standing on your own mountain?

Perhaps seeing Li Shengli's confusion, the three uncles took turns and did it again.

"Don't worry, it's just preparations now. Although this process will be long, it will weave a super network of relationships for you. Don't underestimate these, it will create a lot of value for you." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"You can refer to me for the model. In fact, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and I have already arranged it in advance." Thompson.

"Don't worry about the rest. Rules and laws will not restrict us, not even Stern. In fact, what we do is only provide a free membership-based place for communication, relaxation and entertainment among players. Current players can also The old guys on Thompson's side learn from their experience and have a 'cordial and in-depth meeting'. No one should be able to refuse this opportunity, right?" Old Turner then said: "Although I don't understand basketball, I understand human nature. When you When the number of places in a private club is limited and precious, and a lot of value is attached, there will definitely be people who want to get on the bus.”

"The most important thing is that the number of places should not be too high. Don't lower the threshold. Of course... players who have been hostile to you and are slightly malicious will definitely not be allowed to join, such as Larry Johnson and Isaiah Thomas. , even if he has a chance to join the Hall of Fame, he has no chance to join this private club."

Li Shengli was a little confused after hearing this.

"So?! What is the purpose of doing this?" There is no profit and we can't start early. How can a project with no visible benefits be convincing?

"Do you know why Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were invited by TNT to commentate on this playoffs?" Old Turner asked back, and then said: "This is because the people who were originally invited refused due to personal reasons and are using this to make money. The opportunity was given to them, and unfortunately the people who rejected TNT...are our people!"

"Even if you retire, every superstar in the past is valuable. If you join a team, you will always get more cakes than if you work alone. The same goes for you. Think about whether you can continue to be active in this circle after you retire. You have a certain voice, you can make money, you have status, is this something you can refuse?"

"Although it will be difficult to start this project, you can think of it as a long-term investment, and the rewards of successful investment will be endless."

…

What is this?

What kind of operation is this?

Li Shengli probably understood what the old Turner meant, but if he thought carefully about the pie that the three uncles had drawn for him, what would the future be like?

Thompson's side is an activity center for middle-aged and elderly people, and all the people here are retired bosses and celebrities, and he has built a current version of the Hall of Fame, which only attracts current players. After these people retire... they will be transferred directly from Club No. 2. To Senior Activity Center No. 1? !

Is this a one-stop service?

Isn’t this plan going to contract everyone for the rest of their lives? A package to meet God?

And who can he attract?

You don’t have to think about Jordan’s NBA status. After all, you have to be more practical. Jordan’s unruly personality is there. Two rings and his current league status are definitely a success.

As for Malone and Stockton, there is no problem, and O'Neal, a big joke, can also be brought over, but if you think about it carefully, the initial lineup of the club is really a bit fucked.

You know, in the iron-blooded era of the NBA in the 1990s, the four recognized villains were the old Oakley, who was Jordan's bodyguard, the ax-wielding villain Laimbeer who was knocked out by Li Shengli, and the remaining two...just step on The horses are Malone and Stockton!

The horse has big elbows and is digging its crotch!

Even if Li Shengli doesn't want to admit it, it is an indisputable fact. Even if the fans in Salt Lake City respect Shuang Sha's achievements, others don't think so.

Plus Li Shengli and O'Neal.

Although the two brothers are definitely the top rookies, they smashed several basketball hoops in an extremely violent manner, and Li Shengli's original battle at the Auburn Hills Palace, where a group of people were beaten, was even more vicious.

What is this horse riding?

The ultimate dark force? !

Li Shengli wanted to cry, but fortunately, he also planned to chat with Mourning, who was also playing well in the same class.

Mourning?

Yes, Mourning is a good person!

Li Shengli likes this tough guy very much, and the lines to invite him to join are ready... Join us, if anyone dares to hit you in the future, our ultimate dark force will stand up for you!

…

Li Shengli didn't have many ideas, but the three uncles were obviously paving the way for him. The current super giants probably would not lower their worth, and they suggested that Li Shengli recruit people from rookies to strengthen the organization... After all, he just entered the league. It's best to catch Qing.

Based on this, every draft in the future will be a focus.

Regardless of whether the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 pick, the No. 3 pick, or the first-round pick, catch all those who can be picked, and play all those who can’t be caught, so as to ensure the quality and quantity of the newcomers, and the No. 1 pick in the next draft... the big favorite is Chris Webber. .

As the leader of the NCAA's top five Michigan teams, East Carolina, where Li Shengli once played, played against the University of Michigan. Weber's personal strength is definitely strong, it just depends on which team he will fall into.

Going forward, the 1994 draft, the 1995 draft, and the 1996 draft are all in vain, so I’m not too anxious. After all, the NBA has a steady stream of fresh blood.

The ultimate dark force created from scratch will not be short of people to play with!
