Chapter 548: Champion Sign
Li Liang's excitement is really useless.
Spent a night in a house with Bai Xiaoting, and nothing happened.
When Li Liang got up the next day, he found that Bai Xiaoting had already left.
Li Liang glanced at his phone, Bai Xiaoting only left a message, and said, "Let's go, you slept very hard last night." “
Li Liang thought to himself, how do you know that I slept very hard?
Ah, yes, I sleep very dead, and everyone on earth knows it.
After Li Liang got up, he rushed downstairs to the living room and kitchen to take a look, but found nothing.
Bai Xiaoting didn't make breakfast for herself.
Li Liang sighed, it seemed that only Zhu Shu would leave breakfast for himself when he left in the morning.
It was another boring day, and Li Liang dedicated his time to basketball.
At this time, several other series were still in full swing.
Among them, the Miami Heat has easily eliminated the Wizards and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, and like the Clippers, they are waiting for the Finals.
The other set of matchups was a big surprise, the Indiana Pacers won a tough first round, and met the veteran-led Nets in the second round, and the first four games were tied 2-2 by the Nets.
As a result, in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, the Pacers collapsed at home, 70:101, a 31-point disadvantage.
Since the trade deadline, the Pacers' form has been in a downward spiral, and it has fallen off a cliff.
Turner's arrival not only did not improve the strength of the Pacers, but made the Pacers want to be drained of their souls and become the walking dead.
Their center Hibbert has been in an unbelievably bad form, with scores hanging 0 in more than one game in the regular season and playoffs.
This earned him the nickname "Gao Yuanyuan" at basketball forums in China.
The Pacers' unexpectedly bad form makes people wonder what's going on inside this team.
For the time being, no one is completely clear, Li Liang asked Granger in private, and Granger said that it was because Hibbert and Paul George had a conflict in private, but Granger was not very clear about what the contradiction was.
Anyway, Larry Bird was smart and was mistaken by smart, a deal that was touted by many people and turned out to be a huge mistake.
And the consequence of this mistake is that in the sixth game between the Nets and the Pacers, the Nets narrowly defeated the Pacers 91-90 at home, with a one-point advantage, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Nets' almost bankrupt old five "Big Five" reached the Eastern Conference Finals, which at least didn't disgrace Billy King.
Of course, the Pacers' inexplicable self-detonation is even more incomprehensible, a team with fierce momentum at the beginning of the season, so it is quite embarrassing to end the 2013-2014 season, waiting for them I don't know what kind of tomorrow is.
On the other side of the West, the series between the Spurs and the Warriors was also divided.
The Spurs are still a step ahead, and in the case of a draw in the first four games, they easily took down Tianwang Mountain.
Then in the sixth game of the Oracle Arena, the old spurs suppressed the Warriors all over the court, 98:82, and sent the Warriors home to fish in Oakland without any suspense.
The Spurs have once again reached the Western Conference Finals, and the battle between the Clippers and the Spurs is on the verge of breaking out.
……
By May 2014, the playoffs had reached the division finals.
Other teams should be fishing, they should be trimming, in short, their season has ended early, and they are starting to prepare for the next season.
On May 19, the draw for the NBA Draft was held in New York.
Until 12 years, the NBA's lottery was held in Cox, New Jersey, before it was shut down and moved to New York.
Zhu Shu came to New York again to watch the lottery ceremony.
Now that she's not Li Liang's exclusive agent, she needs to do more work for the Kentucky forward's future after signing Julius Randle.
The draft pick is crucial, and Zhu Shu believes that Randle's pick should be at 5-10.
Although some predictions believe that Randall has the ability to break into the top five, Zhu Shu predicts through ESPN's data experts that Randall should still be around 5-10, and the simulation prediction is in sixth place.
The team with the highest odds this year is the Bucks, followed by the 76ers, and the Lakers have a 6.3% chance of getting the top pick.
To be honest, Zhu Shu still doesn't want the Lakers to be high, because she wants Randle to go to Los Angeles.
After all, Zhu Shu has been in Los Angeles for two years, and Li Liang has played in the Lakers again, so Zhu Shu and the Lakers are still quite familiar.
As a result, I never expected that in the draw of the draft, the Lakers won the top pick!
Representing the Lakers in the lottery was none other than their former champion James Worthy.
Worthy was drafted by the Lakers in 1982 with the overall pick, and the Lakers were the 1982 champions.
Now, after winning the 2013 championship, the Lakers have fallen for a year and got another No. 1 pick!
And in this draft, the hottest Andrew Wiggins is very similar to Worthy in terms of playing style.
After this result came out, the media across the United States were in an uproar, accusing the league of shady and letting the Lakers sign the champion again?
The Bucks, who have the highest probability, received the second pick, followed by the 76ers, Magic, Jazz, Celtics, Kings, Hornets, and Cavaliers.
Zhu Shu glanced at the teams ranked fifth to ninth, the Jazz, Celtics, Kings, Hornets, Cavaliers, and the team of Randle in Italy is likely to be among them.
Except for the Celtics, there is no big team, and the Celtics are far away in Boston, and Los Angeles is inseparable.
It seems that Randle wants to go to a big city team of his choice, and it is not so simple.
After the draft, the Los Angeles media was jubilant.
The Clippers entered the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers got the top pick, and it feels like the present and future of the NBA are in the hands of the Los Angeles people!
Li Liang received a call from Zhu Shu at home and learned the news that the Lakers had won the top pick.
"Damn, the Lakers are lucky, it must be the good luck I brought to them. You see, I'm with the Lakers, and the Lakers win the championship. I left the Lakers, helped the Lakers mess up, and got the No. 1 pick, and the Lakers can't say that the Lakers don't give me a retired jersey. ”
Li Liang was not ashamed, but Zhu Shu asked: "Okay, don't be poor, by the way, where did Xiaoting live after she sent you home that day?" ”
"Uh......"
Li Liang didn't expect Zhu Shu to ask this question suddenly, and thought about how to answer it for a while.
After struggling for 1 second, Li Liang felt that it was better to confess.
"I invited Xiaoting to drink some wine that day, but she was inconvenient to drive, so I let her sleep in your room...... I slept in my own room! ”
Li Liang also specially added, there are simply no three hundred taels of silver here.
Zhu Shu didn't seem to care, just hummed, saying that he would fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning, so that Li Hao could prepare for tomorrow's game.
Li Liang asked if he wanted to pick her up, and Zhu Shu said no, let Li Hao rest.
Hung up the phone Li Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought, Lao Tzu didn't do anything, what is there to worry about?
Then he went to the system training with confidence.
