Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The meeting with the magician ended abruptly.

Li Shengli didn't take any 'advantage', nor did he get any hint, because from the beginning to the end, Magic never mentioned the contract amount that the Lakers wanted to give Li Shengli or had already offered to O'Neal. He just kept describing the future of the Mavericks to Li Shengli. Bad prospects.

It can't be said that he was playing hard to get. The appearance of the magician seemed to be a step ahead to lay the groundwork and prepare for the future. However, the bad prospects for the Mavericks he said were too exaggerated. Li Shengli did not take this scare seriously, and the only value was The news is about O'Neal...

It’s hard to say whether the source of the news is true or not.

But at the level of a magician, it's not enough to just open your mouth and tell lies.

If something comes out of nowhere, there must be a reason.

The most likely scenario at the moment is... the Magic management does have a plan in this regard, and the Lakers know it, but O'Neal doesn't know yet. The reason is probably because the season is not over yet, and they don't want to affect O'Neal's mood, so the news is still blocked. state.

As for why the Lakers knew about it and which other team knew about it, Li Shengli didn't know. After saying goodbye to Magic... he went directly back to the hotel and went to O'Neal's room without stopping.

…

"Open the door!"

"Who is it?" O'Neal opened the door and saw Li Shengli, and his face darkened, "Did you come here because of the smell? I just ordered takeout. Forget it, come in and eat my fried chicken together."

Eat eat eat, you know how to eat.

Look at what you are eating, you are really raising yourself like a pig, Li Shengli complained in his heart. When he walked into the room, he found that Hardaway was also indulging himself, chewing out a bunch of chicken bones, and in the magician's news... The Magic So to drive O'Neal away, they value Hardaway, the Magic's second master, more.

"Hardaway, look at what time it is? Children go to bed early and get up early. It's your bedtime now!" Li Shengli looked at the time and said, but Hardaway almost choked to death on the chicken bones in his mouth...

"You...Li, are you...having something wrong with your brain?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here, Shaq and I have something to talk about."

"Isn't it? You two alone... wouldn't think... Wow, it's so exciting. Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone about this."

Hardaway was very naughty, but Li Shengli didn't have the time to make such a joke, "What a stinky poor guy, get out of here!"

"Damn it, Shaq just bullies me every day. I thought you were different from him, but I didn't expect..." Hardaway muttered a few words. When he saw Li Shengli raised his casserole-sized fist, his face immediately changed, "You... ...Hmph, just get out, what’s the big deal.”

Hardaway cursed and walked away with the remaining fried chicken, and finally ran away. O'Neal, who had just taken a shower, lifted the towel around his butt, touched his chest hair, and felt horrified, "Damn it, Lee, you I can understand what you want to do and have physical needs, but I, Shaq, am not the kind of person you think."

I have physical needs, why on earth would I come to you?

You can't find anyone even if you take off all your clothes and turn off the lights. You can say that I'm gay, but can you insult my aesthetics? No way.

Li Shengli rolled his eyes at O'Neal, his disdain for this vulgar joke evident, "Stop pretending to be innocent, tell me...has Earvin Johnson been looking for you recently?"

magician?

Did he also find Li Shengli?

Yes, this bastard's contract has also expired. O'Neal's little calculation rang in his heart, "What about Ervin? I don't know."

Pretending to be a grandson, right? Li Shengli said angrily: "Be honest with me? Tell me, how much is the contract amount the Lakers quoted you?"

"What kind of contract, I don't know!"

"Have your Magic management talked to you?"

"What the Magic management is, I don't know!"

O'Neal didn't understand what he was asking, and Li Shengli almost suffered from brain congestion, "You... please don't mess with me, let's talk about things seriously."

"Why are you so serious? You can't even make a joke?" O'Neal curled his lips and said sincerely: "Okay, I remember what I told you before, the Lakers did find me, that's all. They offered a seven-year contract worth more than 100 million to poach me, but Mourning signed a contract worth 110 million for the same period of time, so I was too lazy to talk to them."

"Too lazy to talk to them? Well...then you should hurry up and talk to them."

"Are you kidding? You can do this kind of contract magic for me. I have no reason to give up my current results to save the Lakers, right? Their lineup... you are in the Western Conference. You don't know that it is difficult to reach the Western Conference Finals. How can I win the championship? Wouldn’t that mean I have to be suppressed by you all the time?”

What a simple child!

Li Shengli was moved by O'Neal's simplicity, "Okay, apart from the contract, Johnson didn't tell you anything else?"

"What other things?" O'Neal searched for a long time and couldn't find the fried chicken that Hardaway took away. He was a little angry. "That's what I thought... The opportunity to win the championship is too rare. I must hold on in the Magic, even if the contract is small. It’s okay at all, I can sign a short-term contract to play. Li, don’t say you’re not like this, you bastard must think so too.”

O'Neal hit the nail on the head. Li Shengli really thought so, but the problem now is not him. There is no way the Mavericks can be like the Magic... so what? "It's okay if the contract is smaller? What if it's small?"

"How small?" O'Neill was stunned for a moment.

"So small!" Li Shengli gestured with half of his little finger.

"Get out, get out." Looking at Li Shengli's fingertips, O'Neal was so angry that he wanted to hit him, "I knew you were up to no good from the moment you walked in. Now, I'm gone. Why the hell are you still mocking me?" , is it interesting?"

"Hey, are you really angry?"

"Nonsense, you just said I was young, this is a matter of principle!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, remember to find a buyer as soon as possible. It doesn't have to be the Lakers. Let your agent talk more about the contract before the Magic... Anyway, talk more, don't get lowered because of the Magic."

"What do you mean, it doesn't have to be the Lakers?" O'Neal was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up, "Damn, I get it, you want to go to the Lakers, you come here to test me first, are you afraid of competing with me?"

Crazy, Li Shengli was driven crazy by O'Neal, "Brother, you have such a big head, so it stands to reason that your brain capacity is not low. Is there a moth in your head that affects your IQ?"

"Go away, are your moths growing in your head?"

"Your attitude... OK, I've reminded you anyway, I don't have anything to do with the rest. Don't think blindly, eat and drink when you should, and face life optimistically!"

After speaking, Li Shengli retreated, but O'Neill suddenly became stupid.

Damn it?

Do I have some terminal illness?

I should be eating, drinking, and why should I face life optimistically? But I haven't felt any physical discomfort recently, and I haven't been in contact with... holy shit... a magician?

…

After all, Li Shengli still didn't tell the news he got from the magician. After all, the contract is still a bit sensitive. Just remind him. There is no need to chase O'Neal.

Because under unconfirmed circumstances, if there is an own goal and the Magic does not mean it, it is all smoke and mirrors made up by Magic Johnson. After all, O'Neal was abducted by the Lakers and stayed in Los Angeles for several seasons waiting for the lineup. After setting up, running in, and missing out on the Magic's championship, I guess O'Neal would have hated himself, so it goes without saying that it's just that O'Neal was frightened by Li Shengli and his brain was completely short-circuited.

However, what O'Neal said is correct. The Magic have strong combat power. It's okay to renew the contract at a lower price. The worst is a short-term contract, and the same goes for the Mavericks... The situations of Li Shengli and O'Neal are surprisingly similar. The only difference is that the Mavericks The management has not released any words yet.
