Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Once the summit is over, it is time for the entire league to prepare for the new season.

The Lakers' training camp also began, and when Li Shengli returned to Los Angeles... the entire Lakers had undergone tremendous changes. It would be an understatement to say it was a drastic change.

First, the Lakers' home court has been moved.

It moved from the original Great Western Forum to this year's new home stadium, Staples Arena, and shares it with the Clippers.

Of course, the shared home court is shared home court, and the training facilities are still separate, so it does not affect it. Even if the Lakers and Clippers are playing games... the Clippers are more embarrassed, because when they meet the Lakers, the Clippers may not have a home court.

Then there’s the team’s head coach.

Poor Harris was fired 'without incident'.

Although it is logical that the coach who won the championship cannot be killed, the problem is that in the finals some time ago, the Lakers fell into a desperate situation of 0:3. Harris took the blame, and when it comes to the replacement of the coach... he has recently become involved in management work. Jeanie Buss once again made great achievements, and cooperated with the management to find former Bulls coach Phil Jackson.

What makes Li Shengli feel fucked is...

Obviously from the second half of last year to the first half of this year, Jenny and Rodman were having a heated fight, and Rodman was bragging to everyone every day, saying that he could go to Jenny's old boudoir whenever he wanted.

But in this season, Jenny and Rodman haven't ended long ago. Phil Jackson is also discussing divorce with his 27-year-old second wife. When the two met, they looked at each other and confirmed that she wanted it. People.

Although there has been no official announcement yet, major Los Angeles reporters have reported on this incident. It is something that has not been made public but is indeed a fact, which is an eye-opener for Li Shengli.

…

It doesn't matter if we change to a new home court. We will play the same game wherever we go. This is something the management considers.

As for a new coach, it doesn't matter, because for Li Shengli... Phil Jackson is the top coach among many coaches in the league, which is good for the results in the new season.

Although he felt very sorry for Harris, who secretly shared Jenny Buss's photo album with him in the past and seemed serious on the surface, there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was to say goodbye to Harris with everyone and bid farewell to this period of time together.

In addition to these, what really involves the fundamentals is the adjustment of the player lineup.

In the salary list for the new season, Kobe's contract has increased significantly, with an annual salary of 9 million, which is the same level as Allen Iverson, the No. 1 pick in the 1996 grade. Crotty, who has always been hardworking and uncomplaining, also received a salary increase. He entered the league in the same class as Li Shengli. The first-year salary is $140,000.

Although it had risen during the period, it was not as big as this time, breaking through the 2 million mark in one fell swoop.

The annual salary of 200 yuan is not much, but it is definitely a lot. West is courageous enough to fulfill his promise to Li Shengli.

These two items, plus the increase in Li Shengli's contract, have indeed made the team's salary space a lot tighter, so brothers Eddie and Nick, who are waiting for a salary increase, really can't hold it...

The increase in Nick's new contract is not small. After the Lakers contract ended, he went to the Nuggets with a starting salary of 8.35 million, which the Lakers could never afford. Although Eddie's contract still has one year left, the expected increase is not small, so he was put on the shelf; However, the contract of Big Ben couldn't keep it down, so he left for Los Angeles after the game. As expected, he joined the 76ers, partnered with Iverson, and went to the Eastern Conference to stir up trouble.

…

Of course, some come and go, and the NBA never lacks this type of breakup.

Therefore, the first day of the training camp was a meeting between these "newcomers" and the team's seniors. Li Shengli rushed to the training hall early in the morning and felt empty when looking at the not-so-busy morning.

Ben, who used to like playing with him the most, has already started a new business. Eddie and Nick, who liked to have sex in the locker room all morning, have also left. Barkley has retired honorably, and Rodman, who usually slacked off in training, is gone. Mavericks said he was going to help Li Shengli take care of Dazhi.

But now, apart from Kobe's classmate who often helps to tell him about his presence in the early morning, there is only Crotty who is by his side from beginning to end, following him step by step to inspect the training hall early in the morning.

"Why, why are you looking at me like this?" Crotty scratched his head.

"It's okay, it's just this coming and going. I didn't expect you to be with me in the end!" Li Shengli sighed with emotion.

"Don't be like this, I have a girlfriend." Crotty made a rare joke.

"Get lost!" Li Shengli rolled his eyes, feeling that Crotty hadn't learned the lesson well either. When he saw Fisher not far away, he waved him over and said, "Fisher, where are the Kobe people?"

"I don't know, I just got here too."

"Then why don't any of the new teammates reported today come?"

"Damn, boss, it's not time yet. Don't be in a hurry to lecture your new teammates. As long as you support me, I will help you manage them well. Don't be too big or too small!" Fisher said recently. It's high-spirited, because the team's backcourt players are finally no longer so crowded, and the playing time in the new season should be increased a lot, so they have a natural sense of superiority as the team's "old man" towards the new teammates.

"Here comes one."

"Boss, Green is here, do you see it?"

Fisher pointed at the person coming in at the entrance of the training hall and said, and Li Shengli nodded. He either knew him or felt familiar. After all, there were so many players in the league and he himself had mild prosopagnosia. So even if you know about the teammates the Lakers have added for the new season, many of their names and faces don't match up.

"Green, he played with the Lakers in his rookie season, then went to other places, and now he is brought back by Earvin Johnson. Oh, by the way, he has worked with Johnson, and now he should play our main four position." Fisher raised his eyebrows and continued: "This man...I won't say how good this brother is, but he is definitely a ruthless person. Really, can you believe that he is still a virgin?"

This is really not Fisher's nonsense. Li Shengli has also heard about Iron Man Green's deeds.

Not to mention the alarmingly high attendance rate, the self-discipline alone has been through the sky. After all, the 37-year-old virgin and religious maniac is the only rare species in the league, and the back of the wardrobe in away games and in the locker room will always be there. There is no shortage of photos of beauties with numbers attached, and it only takes a minute for this guy to break the ban.

Johnson knows this best... because when they were teammates, Johnson sent a half-dressed girl to Green's room. Green was so angry that he ran to the hotel lobby and slept all night, and this Self-discipline is indeed quite scary.

Just put aside these messy things, the iron man Green is also old. It is estimated that West and Johnson can't find a suitable one, so they can only find the iron man brother who averaged 20 minutes per game in recent seasons and has 5+5 statistics. one time.

As for Fisher's teasing tone, Li Shengli could only glare at him and remind him: "Just shut up and learn this self-discipline. Don't just flirt with your teammate's girlfriend when you have nothing to do. Be careful of being blocked." On the bed, I beat you so hard that you can’t even lift your pants up.”

"Fuck, I didn't!"

"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not, you'd better not do such a shameless thing!" Li Shengli interrupted the topic, and after listening to Fisher's sophistry for a while, everyone else was almost there, and the coaching staff came to call for someone. After gathering, Li Shengli walked to the training ground with Crotty and Fisher.
