Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

NBA Draft.

The venue is set at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, and the time is set for June 22, which is the day after tomorrow.

According to the itinerary, Li Shengli will arrive in New York one day in advance, and this time Thompson and Kareem will accompany them, and their royal cook Ma Qiangdong will also be in the accompanying team.

...

The night before leaving.

"Oh God, what are they... doing?"

"It seems... It's an ancient special ceremony in China, right?!"

Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at the altar set up in the yard and Ma Qiangdong, who was busy with his work, both were stunned, and even Li Shengli was a little embarrassed.

"Old Ma, you... are you a bit superstitious?" Li Shengli covered his head, feeling a little bit pained.

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, I just inquired about it. The talent show you participated in in ancient times is equivalent to a big imperial examination. We have to pay homage to all the gods!" Ma Qiangdong fiddled with himself. Put on the altar.

Speaking of it, Ma Qiangdong, who is a white cook, is still very superstitious. He doesn't care about gods, as long as they have names and surnames, he believes in them. As he was recently promoted to the housekeeper of the villa, he has a lot more autonomy in his actions. After setting up a confession table, the brothers Thompson didn't say much.

"Old Ma, Uncle Ma, this is in the United States! Our domestic gods haven't done international business yet!" Li Shengli couldn't laugh or cry.

"Bah, what are you talking about!" Ma Qiangdong glanced at Li Shengli, very dissatisfied with his attitude, "Brother Shengli, you have to pay attention to what you say. There are gods who hold your head three feet high. Although we are in the United States, there are also managers here. Gods, angels, gods, they should all be big gods who can speak well!"

After tinkering for a long time, Ma Qiangdong's preparations were finally finished.

There were five or six dinner plates on the altar, and it seemed that many local immortals were worshiped, but looking at the things on the dinner plates, Li Shengli was in a bad mood.

Steak and wine? !

This is really doing as the Romans do!

I have to say that Ma Qiangdong still combines local characteristics. He is very particular about the medium-rare steak. As for the red wine, he also divided them into goblets. too many.

What is this?

With red wine in your throat, everything is safe? !

Steak sacrifice to the heavens, with boundless magic power? !

Li Shengli couldn't laugh or cry about this, while Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were stunned and felt a mysterious oriental atmosphere.

After fiddling for a while, worshiping all kinds of gods, Ma Qiangdong was not finished, took out a few coins and insisted on telling Li Shengli a fortune teller... Li Shengli finally canceled the plan of the magic stick Ma Qiangdong.

...

Toss all night.

The next day, the four of them finally arrived at the New York airport.

The three of Thompson and Li Shengli parted ways, saying that they were visiting old friends, while Joan Barry and Li Shengli, who picked them up, went to the hotel they had booked long ago, waiting for the draft starting tomorrow.

June 22nd.

The NBA's annual draft... has finally kicked off.

Li Shengli and Joan Barry showed their identity certificates and successfully entered the venue. They originally wanted to sit with Joan Barry, so they could be regarded as acquaintances, but... things backfired, and he was arranged by the official staff to enter the small green room.

Little green house?

To be honest, Li Shengli really didn't know what the little green house was, but Joan Barry, who was so envious and sour, explained it to him.

In each draft, players who receive an official invitation to enter the small green room of the draft are expected to be selected as popular players in the lottery, and are generally selected through voting by the general managers of NBA teams.

Although entering the small green room does not mean that you will definitely be selected by a lottery team. It is possible to be selected at the end of the first round or even the second round, but that is only a small probability event, and it will not happen in general. Apparently... Joan Barry wasn't eligible for the Green Room yet.

...

"Hey, Lee, you're finally here!"

As soon as he entered the small green room, Leitner, a good old man sitting in the first row, greeted Li Shengli, and Li Shengli walked over, only to find after he walked... Mourning was also sitting in the first row, and there was an empty space between him and Leitner. Location.

The small green room is not small, and players who enter the small green room are usually accompanied by relatives and friends, but obviously Mourning and Laettner came alone.

On the left is the good old Leitner, and on the right is the pure man Mourning. They are all acquaintances. Li Shengli happily sat in the middle.

"Hey, Laettner, you came early!" After Li Shengli sat down, he greeted Mourning on his right: "Hey, Mourning, how are you doing recently?"

Leitner smiled slightly, while Mourning's face was livid.

How is my life?

When you didn't show up, I've been living a good life!

In the top 32, I beat me up, and now I come back and ask me how I am doing?

"Li, you are such an annoying guy!" The pure man Mourning said very coldly.

"Oh, my God, buddy, I think so too." The good old Leitner, who was also beaten by Li Shengli, nodded in agreement.

"You two are really cheapskates!"

After touching his nose, Li Shengli felt a little bit pained, but the two were not malicious, and the three brothers fought each other for a while.

Laettner himself is a talkative person, talking freely, and although Mourning is cold-faced and unhappy, he did not refuse this nonsense.

"Li, how is it? Are you confident?" Mourning asked, obviously referring to the No. 1 pick in this selection.

"Oh, God, this kind of thing is not just a matter of confidence, don't forget that guy O'Neill!" Laettner said to Mourning.

Mention O'Neal, Laettner and Mourning are a little discouraged.

In the past, the two of them were definitely qualified to be the No. 1 pick, but now... Li Shengli, the pervert, has overwhelmed them, and O'Neal is the same. These two mountains make the two of them very aggrieved.

Fortunately, their psychological quality is very strong, if they can't be the flowers of the No. 1 pick, then they can be green leaves, or they can be fertilizers...

...

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the third brother didn't talk for a long time, and O'Neill made his finale.

To be honest, as the biggest competitor, Li Shengli naturally inquired about O'Neal.

In a relatively slow-paced game like the NCAA, O'Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.5 rebounds per game, which is indeed quite violent data, especially the 17 blocks in a single game in the 1990-91 season broke the NCAA single-game block record. Record.

I thought that O'Neill would be an arrogant master, but Li Shengli didn't expect... This guy greeted the three of them with a smile, and sat on Leitner's left.

...

With the appearance of O'Neal, the strongest four players in this year's draft reunite, and all the eyes of the audience are focused on the first row of seats.

Who is the flower, who is the green leaf, and who is the fertilizer, the answer will be revealed soon...
