Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The bad situation in the hometown lasted until very late, and it remained like this for the next half month, with people coming and going every day, making it the number one event for all players in this offseason.

It stands to reason... Who has nothing to do during the offseason? It makes no sense to have to go to Li Shengli's hometown. But in fact, the meaning of social gatherings has never been simple, especially when you look up here, you can see that he has retired for a long time. Seniors, surrounded by current superstars and popular rookies, can always find some timely news, grasp some first-hand information circulated in a small area, and even the future trends and personnel adjustments of other teams.

The latest news here is... Mourning has broken up with the Timberwolves' management. If nothing happens next season, he will be sent away by the Timberwolves and transferred to a new club.

Mourning leaves the Timberwolves?

To be honest, Mourning suffered the loss because Li Shengli and O'Neal in the same class were too abnormal. Otherwise, with his average of 21+10 per game in three seasons, it would be no problem to join the super center echelon, and his The trend has really made all parties agitated. Although it is not as big as the noise caused by Li Shengli, the news is still fermenting quite quickly.

It was not until the end of October that Mourning's ownership was finally determined. The new club was the Miami Heat. At this time, the entire league became enthusiastic because the regular season of the 95-96 new season was about to begin, and the Dallas Mavericks were one month ahead of schedule. A player training camp was launched on October 5th to prepare for the new season in advance. On the one hand, it is to restore the competitive status of the players, and on the other hand, it is also to run into the team's new lineup through several preseason games.

…

Early morning on October 5th.

The Mavericks players were all in place, and Li Shengli didn’t have the bad habit of acting like a big name. He arrived neither too early nor too late, but Curry and Kidd arrived at the training facility early and waited to take pictures of the Mavericks. A season of family photos.

"Lee, you're finally here. I thought you didn't even participate in the training camp!" Curry joked.

"Are you kidding? It's not too late for me to come, right?" Li Shengli responded.

"Who cares whether it's early or late? Even if you don't come, no one will dare to say anything to you. Who makes you the boss of our place now!"

"Go ahead, I'm not that big yet."

Li Shengli laughed and cursed, but MacLeod on the side said to Li Shengli with a not very good expression, "Li, you are not that big, but our rookie little brother is still nowhere to be seen, let's not talk about it for now. We, a newcomer... came later than the eldest brother, and I really can’t understand what this little brother is thinking."

As soon as McLeod spoke, Li Shengli realized that the team's rookie Kevin Garnett really wasn't here.

It's just that it doesn't matter. After all, there is still half an hour before the required training time. It doesn't matter if you are not late. However, McLeod's reaction was a bit excessive. It felt a bit like relying on his old age and a bit of a provocation. After all, Kevin and His position conflicts. If Kevin wants to take over, he has to withdraw from the starting spot that he finally got.

"Okay, stop saying this. He is just a high school student. Do you still want him to be as comprehensive as an old fritter?" Li Shengli nodded at McLeod and told him to calm down and don't start the new season before. He was playing a trick of ostracizing newcomers right under his nose, but Macleod also sensed this and agreed a few times and walked aside.

"Lee, it seems you have a favorable impression of this Kevin?" Seeing McLeod walk away, Curry smiled, "It's not McLeod's fault. To be honest, it doesn't matter which team he is on. A common rule is that newcomers must respect the elderly, but our little brother seems to have no idea about this."

"I already told you that he is young. You are over 30 now. There is no need to be so serious with a child."

"What you said is wrong. Where does the fifth pick come from such a big pomp? I was the second pick last year, but have you forgotten what I looked like at that time? On the first day of training, I was the first to arrive on the horse. Yes, this is a rule, it has nothing to do with age, and no one on the field cares about his age." Kidd also expressed his opinion.

But surprisingly, most people, not just Kidd and Curry, had objections to Kevin's "lateness".

"What do you mean?"

"What else does it mean? Let Coach Gordon arrange an intra-team game and put him opposite you. You must teach him a lesson today and tell him that he is too young in the NBA." Curry .

"Yes, it is better to be bullied by us than to be bullied by others in the regular season, and we are doing this for his own good, so that he can realize in time that this is the NBA and not his high school court." Kidd.

Bully the new guy?

Li Shengli never expected that Kidd and Curry would have such a hobby. Apart from these two brothers, everyone else's opinions seemed to be surprisingly consistent. They had made plans to attack the newcomers before Kevin Garnett arrived. .

"Are you guys free?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes at the two of them, "Kevin is not late, and even if he is late, you can't think that he is late on purpose. Maybe he was stuck in traffic or got lost in the morning? "

"What's Kevin? He's calling you so affectionate. Are you familiar with him? No matter if he's late today or not, you'll have to teach him a lesson later."

"That's right, no matter what, this is the training that newcomers must undergo, and it is also our first welcome ceremony!"

…

Li Shengli scratched his head helplessly.

To be honest, he hasn't met Kevin Garnett in person, and he can't be familiar with it, but it's right to treat his new teammate with a friendly attitude, but others don't seem to have the same idea, which makes Li Shengli feel that his new teammate It was quite innocent, but except for himself, almost everyone pointed the finger at the poor little brother he had never met.

…

9 o'clock is the meeting time set by the team. Before this, all the Mavericks were already in place, except Kevin Garnett... who was late when he stepped on the spot. And Li Shengli was the first one. Seeing this new teammate once.

Just like his age, his face is a bit immature, but Li Shengli didn't look at his physical test data when he joined the team. Just by visual inspection... His height is adequate for the fourth power forward, and even He has no problem playing the fifth position, but his body shape is a bit awkward. To put it bluntly, he is relatively thin and suffers in positional battles.

…

Not late?

This guy was not late.

Seeing the belated arrival of Kevin Garnett, Kidd and Curry were a little disappointed, but they still maintained their initial attitude...

newcomer?

Hit, hit me!
