Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

"What? I'm buying houses everywhere. Am I going to get into real estate?"

"No, you have to buy a real estate and stay in Los Angeles from now on. You want us all to crowd into your shabby rented apartment. How do you feel about so many people?"

"Why are you embarrassed? As long as it doesn't cost me anything, I can do anything. What you said is no, I have no money!"

"Damn it, you're going to have no money, where's your money going?"

"I'll give it...don't worry about it. Anyway, I don't have money or my life right now. I don't have money to buy a house, and the house prices in this damn place are too expensive!"

"No, it doesn't matter what you say. I have to let Turner collect all your year-end dividends and make a mortgage for you. I don't want to stay in this shabby place. It's too shameful."

"House loan? Am I crazy for taking a horse and taking a loan to buy a house? I insist on falling into the trap of capitalists?"

…

Li Shengli’s Los Angeles home.

Thompson gritted his teeth because he wanted Li Shengli to buy a big house, because including Thompson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Julie, it was really not a good idea to have several families crowded together for the holidays. It was not too shabby, but it was also a shame for their boss. Identity.

but……

Although Li Shengli always said that he had no money, today, when he was outnumbered and outnumbered, he was still coerced by a group of people, and finally signed a humiliating real estate contract and promised to buy a house in Beverly Hills. The base camp is in Los Angeles.

"Okay, perfect!" Thompson felt that he was done when he saw Li Shengli give in. "Don't worry, you won't lose money on real estate here in Los Angeles, especially in Beverly Hills!"

"What the hell is this horse riding place?"

"You've been in Los Angeles for so long, don't you know? It's a gathering place for American celebrities and a wealthy area. It's very prestigious to live there."

"Damn, how can a person not even ask for money just for the sake of face?"

"Yes, tell me, why do you make money?"

"I look happy, I just like saving money, you have nothing to do with it!"

"This, this, this... your hobby, horse riding, is really weird."

…

This year’s Christmas went by in such a blur. Americans may be particularly concerned about it, but for Li Shengli, there is nothing special about it. And the third day after the holiday... because the 26th the previous day was a holiday for the entire team, and the 27th was a holiday for the entire team. No. 1 is truly returning to the lane of the regular season.

As for the recent mission to capture Big Ben.

Li Shengli has already talked to West, and West also said that there is no problem. After all, a small and insignificant role like Ben has little effect on bullets. When the inside players are crowded, it is better to use an outside player.

So after the Lakers put this matter on the agenda, the Bullets responded very positively. In addition, the salary involved in this transaction was pitifully small, and few people in the league cared about this small transfer.

Then there is Li Shengli...

Because wages were only paid at the beginning and middle of the month, the impoverished Li Shengli began to borrow money to live off his life again, and the first stop of his fight against the wealthy was the hard-working O'Neal.

…

"Shaq, happy holidays!" Li Shengli dialed O'Neal's number.

"Damn, it's been several days, and you just remembered to say hello to me?"

"Didn't you, the one who stepped on the horse, not look for me?"

"Me? Can I be the same, ah~~ I'm living too hard now!" O'Neal cried and said: "You don't know, this old guy Auerbach actually wants to ruin the team, saying that he is waiting for Next year's No. 1 pick. I can agree with that, I rejected him directly."

"Then what?"

"Then? Ah~~This old guy actually found old Barry and forced me to practice free throws. He said it was fine if I didn't mess up, but I had to practice my free throws well. He threatened me, how dare he threaten me? Mom Yes, I have such a bad temper, how can I endure this? I just... agreed to him at that time!"

A... Did you promise him?

Where's the promised little grump?

Damn, you're so soft, so fast!

Li Shengli rolled his eyes. Although O'Neal couldn't see it, but think about it carefully... It would be a lot of fun if O'Neal practiced free throws.

Take last season as an example.

This guy averaged 4.5 of 9.4 free throws per game, a field goal percentage of 48.4%, and an average of 26.2 points per game. If the field goal percentage was raised to 70%, it would be 6.65 of 9.4. The average points per game would be directly increased by 2.15, reaching 28.3. More.

A shark who can shoot free throws?

Damn, this is too lethal!

"Tell me, have you made any progress in free throw shooting?" Li Shengli was happy to hear this.

"Well, there's something wrong with that. When I practiced by myself, I was obviously terrible, but old Barry came to teach me, and it actually improved. Now my hit rate is 70% guaranteed, which is quite stable."

Damn it!

Something serious?

Li Shengli suddenly felt the pressure, because if O'Neal really knows how to throw free throws, and he is currently gaining weight with the Celtics according to the plan, although the time is reduced, this guy is simply unstoppable in the penalty area, and he can dominate things with himself. department.

"But... I still think it's ugly and doesn't fit my image. Let's wait until the playoffs."

"Shaq, you are really picky. If there is nothing more practical than scoring, just use it if you can."

"Damn, you're useless, why should I?" O'Neal immediately refused, "If this old guy Auerbach hadn't forced me, I wouldn't want to talk to him. What the hell is he the 97th No. 1 pick? But, although now, We, the Celtics, have retreated, but if you look at the other teams, they are all getting on with it and starting to feel shameless.”

"Those who can lose will never win, and those who can win must lose with all their strength. If two bad teams meet, you won't know how they will perform. I am really convinced."

"Is it Duncan?" Li Shengli also heard about this matter.

It's true that the Celtics withdrew, but Iverson was at odds with his teammates because of the ball rights, and the 76ers were in trouble; the Western Nuggets were more direct and openly in trouble; the new teams, the Grizzlies and Raptors, also joined in the fun. ;The most damning thing is the Spurs...

Last season, they were second in the Western Conference in the regular season. This season, they dropped directly to second to last. The span is astonishing. There are even rumors that the Spurs management asked David Robinson to recuperate and stop playing games. An injury, I don’t know if it’s true or not.

"That's right, it's this monster. Damn it, he has caused so many things before he even entered the alliance."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When next year's draft is over, we will go meet this monster." Li Shengli finally got to the point, "Shaq, what about... can you lend me some money? I will pay my salary in a few days." I give you back!"

"What?"

"Borrow money!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Is the signal bad? Hey..."

"Stop pretending, hurry up."

"Damn, am I pretending? Li, you promised to give me a sports car last time but you haven't given it yet. Don't even think about borrowing money!"

"A sports car, can a person as big as you fit in it?"

"Then don't worry about it, can't I collect it?" O'Neal snorted coldly, "Also, are you so poor that you are crazy and won't ask your teammates to borrow it?"

"Uh, I'm so embarrassed about this..." Li Shengli was really embarrassed, especially if Crotty knew about it, wouldn't it be tantamount to being exposed by pretending to be a rich person, and then there would be no need to lose face?

What do you think you think?

If you have to show off, now you are a pauper!

…

"Sorry? Damn it, are you embarrassed to ask me? To be honest, what do you want the money for?"

"Buy a house!" Li Shengli's face darkened, "Oh, I'm not having a good time either. You have an Auerbach there, and I have more old men here. They insist on forcing me to buy a house in Beverly Hills. , I can’t help it!”

"Fuck, Beverly Hills?"

"Do you know this damn place?"

"Go away! Li, you can do it. You can trick me into buying a mansion to show off. I, Shaq, can't lend it to you. Just give up, because... I want to buy a house there too!"

"Damn it, you bastard, you're stingy!"

"Go away, don't you see who you are, we... are each other!"

…

Inside the Lakers training facility at this time.

Li Shengli was so angry with O'Neal that he had a headache, while Kobe, who never slacked off in training, eavesdropped...Beverly Hills? Damn it, I have to work hard, I have to buy a house, I have to join the upper class and the rich area!

"Hey, Kobe, what's wrong with your expression?"

"It's nothing, I...I'm tired from training."

"Are you tired? An animal like you will be tired too?" Li Shengli glanced around and found that Crotty was not there, so he whispered, "How about... you lend me some money? Don't talk to Ke Rorty said."

"Wow, are you still a human? How can I have spare money to lend you!" Kobe glanced at Li Shengli with disgust, and immediately changed the subject for fear of being robbed, "By the way, Li, West will give you a reply Is it done? Did Ben...catch it?"

"It shouldn't be possible to escape. The person that West went to fish for himself. When he comes, I'll be nice to him. I have to practice with him first. Well... it should be in the past few days!"

"But is this guy really useful?"

"Yes, there must be. Let him play as a backup center first, and then play as the main power forward when necessary. The Spurs no longer need to worry about it. When the time comes, Barkley of the Rockets and Malone of the Jazz, I will let them enjoy the game, hahaha , let them... be surprised!"
