When he woke up, on the last day of June, Li Liang rubbed his eyes and turned on his phone.

There were many messages in one night, several of which were sent by his father, Gan Guoqing.

Gan Guoqing is not very good at typing, he sends voice.

Because of the time difference, Li Liang fell asleep and didn't pay attention.

Gan Guoqing first congratulated Li Liang on his successful selection in the NBA, saying that he was going to give him a gift, which was a new BMW car.

But think about it, Li Liang already has a job, so he has to support himself.

So he took back the gift for himself, and from today on, he will no longer give Li Liang living expenses.

Li Liang is very disdainful of his father's behavior, you want to buy a car yourself, you have to say a gift for me.

I'm in the United States, and you buy me a new BMW in China?

Li Liang sighed, his father's mouth is that he can play and sell the tractor as a BMW.

From this point of view, Li Liang has inherited a little talent from his father.

There are also a few messages sent by her mother Li Qing.

Compared with his father's pretentious posture, Li Qing is a lot more real.

said that in order to congratulate Li Liang on his successful entry into the NBA, he sent some money to his account.

He also told Li to work well, play well in the team, listen to the words of leaders and coaches, and learn more from his seniors.

How did Li Liang feel awkward when he heard this, and how did he feel like the Los Angeles Lakers were a state-owned enterprise.

In addition to the blessings of my parents, there is also a message sent by my sister Gan Liyou.

My sister's message was very brief: Congratulations, take the time to give me a call.

Li Liang's sister Li You works in finance in London, is in charge of asset management, and is unmarried.

She is the most shrewd, ruthless, stingy, calmest, coldest, most terrifying, most terrifying, and most elusive woman Li Liang has ever seen in his life.

Thinking of calling her, Li Liang sat on the toilet and closed himself for a while.

After doing a good job of psychological construction, Li Liang looked at the time, eight o'clock in the morning in New York and twelve o'clock in the afternoon in London.

At lunchtime, she should be available and can give her a call.

Li Liang made a voice call, and while waiting for answers, he was thinking about what he should say.

Three seconds later, the voice was on.

"Hey, sister, are you eating?"

Li Liang took the lead in greeting with his gentlest tone and the most respectful words.

"Have you been speaking ill of me in front of your mom lately?"

Li You's soft voice came from the other side, her voice was actually very gentle, but the content of her words could freeze Li Liang to death.

Li Liang remembered that at the graduation ceremony, he caused trouble and brought the topic to his sister.

Later, Li Qing called several times to urge Li Liang to find a girlfriend, and Li Liang used Li You as a shield.

Could it be that my mother said that she leaked her mouth? It's impossible, if you say that the mouth has leaked early, you don't have to wait until this time.

"I... I didn't, why should I speak ill of you, what do you think. ”

Li Liang immediately denied it, he didn't want to be scolded by his sister.

"You paused, so you're lying. Okay, I won't worry about you about this, the money my mother sent you, she asked me to help remit the money from me. Since you say bad things about me, I'll save it for you first. Also, if you take the contract and make money in the future, if you want to increase your value, please be sure to consider cooperating with me, my commission may be a bit high. Okay, that's it, I'm still busy, hang up. ”

"Eh, sister..."

Li You said it, and without waiting for Li Liang to react, he cut off the call.

Li Liang looked at the interrupted call, stunned for a few seconds, and could only shout "Damn!" ”

Because it is inconvenient to send money from China to the United States, her mother Li Qing will often ask Li You to send money to Li Liang.

Then, according to the exchange rate, the RMB will be added to Li You.

Li You must have collected the RMB this time, and then found a reason not to remit money to Li Liang!

Li Liang didn't care about the money, anyway, after signing the contract in July, he would have at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But being put on a show by his sister like this made him very unhappy.

This guy always bullied him as an older sister, and he has been like this since he was a child.

"You still want me to take care of the money for you, I'm afraid it's not... Hey, it seems that my sister is one of the best asset managers in London. Well, maybe you can consider it. ”

Li Liang thought about it, from the perspective of financial professionalism, Li You is really very good.

It's a pity that she refuses to inherit her father's property, she has to go abroad to break through by herself, and she refuses to get married.

Maybe this is their family's tradition, otherwise how could Gan Guoqing grit his teeth and resign and go to the sea to make a career?

Through the news with his family, although Li Liang didn't get anything, the car was collected, and the money was intercepted, he felt quite comfortable in his heart.

After all, his family has expressed understanding and support for his entry into the NBA, which may be more important than cars and money.

In addition to the news from his family, there was also a message on his mobile phone, which made Li Liang feel a little surprised.

It turned out to be Kobe Bryant who sent it to him, and the content was to congratulate him on being selected by the Lakers.

Li Liang didn't know if this was a spoof or if it was really Kobe's mobile phone number.

He sent a message to Ryan West to confirm that it was really Kobe.

Li Liang replied and thanked Kobe, and then there was no news.

After washing up and walking out of the room, in the spacious kitchen of Aunt Bai Xiaoting's house with a view of the vineyard, Zhu Shu prepared breakfast.

Bai Xiaoting had already gone out to work, and Li Liang had eaten the egg burger and onion pasta made by Zhu Shu, and was full of praise.

It rained outside yesterday, the sun is shining just right today, and the vineyards outside are lush and verdant, these are the American five-finger grapes.

With such good sunshine this summer, there is sure to be a good harvest in September.

Li Liang scratched his head, how could he remember the grape harvest coming, today he is going to Los Angeles to report.

After making breakfast, Zhu Shu walked to the yard, picked up scissors, and pruned the branches and leaves of the grapevines in the yard.

She prunes carefully, cutting off the excess branches and leaves from each vine so that the grapes can grow better.

Li Liang looked at Zhu Shu while eating noodles

She wears a straw hat with an apron and sleeves, and looks like an industrious bee in the early morning sun.

Li Liang suddenly thought that it would be great if he could buy such a house and own a vineyard in the future.

Of course, it would be better to have a hard-working gardener like Zhu Shu......

Li Liang scratched his head again, why did Zhu Shu become a gardener again.

While thinking wildly in his head, Wei Dazhi yawned and came down from the upstairs, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and shouted: "Today's weather is really good!" ”

Li Liang sighed, if there was no Wei Dazhi, it would be better and better.

……

In the afternoon, Li Liang, Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu left Bai Xiaoting's aunt's house and boarded a plane from New York to Los Angeles.

New York to Los Angeles, from the northeast to the southwest of the United States, a diagonal, it takes more than six hours to fly.

Li Liang didn't want to waste time, so he put on a blindfold and asked Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu not to disturb him.

Soon fell asleep and entered the [Almighty King] system, since this system, the sleep is very sufficient.

Li Liang looked at the newly added achievement system, and he couldn't complete the above tasks for the time being.

Wait until you get to Los Angeles to find a way, because in the summer, Los Angeles will gather almost all the basketball stars in the United States.

Li Liang refocused his attention on the six-dimensional ability, and he was busy with the draft in the past two days, and he didn't have the energy to hone himself.

In terms of [Basic Outside Defensive Ability], [Lateral Movement], [Follow Defense/Stick Defense] and [Defensive Positioning and Prediction], Li Liang has basically reached the NBA standard level.

Now there is only [Steal] left, and the ability value is still stuck at 30 points.

Li Liang decided to focus on the training of his steal ability during this time, and it was just in time to use it when he completed the task of the achievement system.

Enter the [Steal] Ability Mission:

[Mission: Play like Havlicek, Date: December 15, 1962, Location: Boston Garden Field, USA, vs.: Boston Celtics vs. Cincinnati Royals, Mission: Replace Havlicek's position, limit Oscar Robertson with your defense, make at least three steals against him, and help the team win the game.] Rewards: Steal Ability +5, Outside Basic Defensive Ability +3, Difficulty: Rookie. 】

Li Liang looked at it and saw a slightly tricky task.
