Li Liangren arrived at Washington's Capital Airport in the evening.

As soon as I got off the plane and turned on my phone, I received several messages.

One was sent by Calipari informing Li Liang of the address of the hotel.

One was sent by Wei Dazhi, reminding Li Liang to take a few photos at the White House and send them to him, and he wanted to post news on the Internet.

Another one was sent by Zhu Shu, who said that Ryan West contacted her in the afternoon and informed her that the tryout was scheduled for May 24.

She will arrive in Los Angeles before that to learn how to handle player affairs.

It seems that Zhu Shu and Wei Dazhi entered the role quite quickly, and Li Liang's heart was a lot more stable.

What happens next will depend on his performance on the 24th trial, and he will have to give his all.

According to the address of Kaliparifa, Li Liang took a taxi to the hotel where he was staying.

The hotel is not far from the White House, and the rest of the teammates have already arrived to visit the White House tomorrow morning and meet with the president.

After Li Liang arrived, the Kentucky Wildcats arrived, and this would be the last collective activity of the Wildcats.

In the lobby of the hotel, the whole team took a photo as a souvenir.

At present, six players on the team have been declared to participate in the 2012 NBA Draft, and the lottery will be drawn in 10 days.

Calipari is still very confident in his own disciples, and needless to say, Davis and McGee have hopes of reaching the first round.

As for Li Liang... A senior like Li Liang, whether you announce it or not, is automatically on the NBA shortlist.

You're a guy who hasn't played before, and when you're old, you can be on the shortlist by filling out the form on the NBA website.

It's just that no one will choose you.

In Calipari's view, Li Liang is the kind of guy who automatically enters the shortlist, but there will be no candidates.

He heard Max say yesterday that Li Liang, a kid, quit the training camp after only one morning.

Perhaps he realized the gap between himself and the real NBA contenders.

It's good to give up early, looking at this kid's expression today, he has been frowning and preoccupied.

After taking the photo, Kali Pari took Li Liang to the hotel bar, and he asked Li Liang to have a drink and comfort him.

Li Liang felt a little strange, why did Kalipari invite him to drink?

Had he forgotten that he had been at a country club, drank too much and ran to the stage to dance a striptease with a pole?

Li Liang followed Calipari to the bar, Calipari ordered two beers, and the two had a drink first.

After drinking, Lao Ka's face flushed slightly.

It's been more than a month since the championship, but the afterglow of the NCAA championship hasn't faded yet.

As long as the new season does not start, all kinds of honors, speeches, and events will come one after another.

He was now at the pinnacle of his life, and wanted to lean down and comfort the hardest-working but worst of the students he had ever led.

He wanted to tell Li Liang that life is bigger than basketball, and he has a lot to do besides basketball.

It's just that he hasn't figured out how to speak yet.

And Li Liang was holding the [Ball Blind Detector] to his coach and was happily shining there, which was quite a long evaluation.

[Ball blindness index 15.321%, a basketball master with absolutely rich tactical knowledge and the ability to tap the potential of players, if he is called ball blind, then everyone in this world is ball blind. However, just as no matter how good gold is, there are impurities, no matter how good a basketball master is, it will expose the essence of ball blindness. His treatment of the psychology of the players, especially the complex psychology, sometimes looks like that of a blind man. A person who doesn't control people's hearts can't understand the core essence of basketball in its deepest part because it's a team sport. 】

Li Liang felt that this ball blind detector was really interesting, although it was only for entertainment, but it was really bloody.

Calipari coached in the NBA but didn't do much because he couldn't control the pros.

When he arrived at college, the student baby was much more controllable, and soon he would be able to play to his heart's content and bring out good players one after another.

Seeing Li Liang smiling, Calipari wondered if this kid wanted to open up, so he said, "Hey, how about it, drink some wine, get together with your teammates, are you in a better mood?" ”

Li Liang said: "Huh? Oh yes, the mood feels so much more relaxed. ”

Along the way, Li Liang was thinking about how to complete the task of [catching up with the impact of Artest].

After thinking about it for a long time, he already had a little idea and was ready to try it tonight.

Now that old Kara was drinking with him, he was too embarrassed to bring it back to bed.

It looks like Lao Ka wants to talk to himself, could it be that he is still worried about that video?

Since understanding Kalipari's good intentions, Li Liang decided that he would never leak that video, and only keep it as a memory of his youth.

Calipari said: "Lee, there are many things you have to look forward, and some things in the past have passed. Everyone has a time when they are drunk, they will choose the wrong way, and it is always good to turn back in time. ”

Li Liang nodded and said, "You are right, but the past must always leave a little memory, and when I look back on the past, I can detect the traces left by time." ”

The two of them drank wine and inexplicably entered the literary mode, and the preface did not match the afterword, and neither of them knew what the other party was talking about.

Calipari is a sportsman after all, and he can't help it.

He finished the wine in his cup, patted Li Liang on the shoulder, and said, "If you need to work in basketball, you can find me." The University of Memphis basketball team has been hiring assistant video editors lately, and I think you should be watching a lot of games......"

Calipari's words almost didn't make Li Liang squirt out a mouthful of wine.

Okay, you're an old card, what do you mean by "I think you should watch a lot of games"?

Haven't I just been on the bench for four years? Did I sit because I wanted to watch the ball? Isn't it because you don't let me play, you have to watch the game?

You bad old man, very bad!

Li Liang swallowed the beer and said, "Coach, I think you must have some misunderstanding about me, I don't need to be a video editor." ”

"Oh, I remember, your family is rich. What can you go to sell... Is it right to sell tractors? ”

Li Liang was furious, how come even Kalipari knew that my family sells tractors?

Li Liang understood, and Calipari must have known that he had quit training camp because he had stage fright and given up his NBA dream.

That's why I came to comfort myself and introduce myself to work.

Li Liang explained: "Coach, I will not give up on the NBA dream, and I am already on the road to realizing my dream. I'm going to tell you only one person, and you're not allowed to tell anyone else...... I've already gotten a tryout for the Lakers. ”

Calipari looked at Li Liang, patted him on the shoulder again, and said, "Dreams are not dreams, Bruce..."

Li Liang was about to explode, and he almost decided to post the striptease video of Calipari on Facebook, and reason held him back.

After explaining for a while, and talking about the conversation and conditions between him and Ryan West, Calipari believed that one of the worst students he had ever brought with his water cooler had actually gotten a tryout for an NBA team.

You know, at this time, the first round of lotto lottery has not come out, and many super newcomers have not been notified of the trial.

Li Liang has a water dispenser, what kind of talent does it take for the Lakers scouts to take a fancy to him in half a day?

Calipari began to doubt his own vision, could it be that after three years, a piece of jade was put in a corner by himself and wasted?

This time it was Li Liang's turn to pat Kalipari on the shoulder and said, "There is always a time in life when you look away, how can you always be on the right path?" It doesn't matter if you take a detour, just correct it in time. ”

Calipari shook his head, and the kid kicked his nose in the face.

However, Li Liang has always been this character, and he is neither big nor small compared to familiar people.

After more than three years of getting along, he and Lao Ka have a deep relationship.

People like Anthony Davis, albeit an absolute genius, have also helped Calipari to top honors.

But people just go to the NCAA to gild.

If the plating is successful, it is the best, and if it is not successful, people will not stay longer, and jump directly into the NBA.

Only sit on the water dispenser next to the coach every day, accompany him at all times, and bring him tea and water from time to time.

This companion is three years, and Li Liang has completed his studies this year, and Kalipari will not be used to it in the future.

Thinking of this, Caliparilo felt sad.

But if you think about it, if Li Liang can enter the NBA, it will be a miracle.

He poured a glass of wine, toasted Li Liang, and wished him a successful trial.

After drinking, Li Liang went back to his room, and he still slept with Terrence Jones tonight.

Jones is a sophomore this year, but he doesn't need to take classes anymore after announcing his participation in the draft.

Jones signed agent Thaddeus Forcher after announcing his participation in the draft with teammates such as Davis and Lamb.

With an agent, he doesn't have to worry about anything now, just waiting for the trial notice with peace of mind.

Although not a hot rookie, Jones' strength combined with Kentucky's bonus makes it highly likely that he will be selected in the first round.

Several teams are already optimistic about him, and he has frequently appeared on various basketball magazines and websites.

Therefore, now he doesn't have to worry about being rejected by a woman, and he is heading towards the climax of his life.

Seeing Li Liang, Jones expressed cordial greetings and sincere condolences to Li Liang with a sense of superiority that was about to enter the basketball palace.

Li Liang knew that Jones had no malicious intentions, so he didn't bother with him.

He lay down early and fell asleep, and went to Artest in his dreams.
