Before the 2008 draft.

In fact, Phil Jackson and Kupchak also visited Lee Forest and invited Lee Forest to participate in the Lakers' tryout.

But Li Linlin's performance in the trial was really poor.

I don't see any potential at all, so even though they have a second-round pick higher than the Thunder, they didn't choose to sign Li Linlin.

As for the Chinese market.

They already have a mascot, Sun Dasheng, and there is no need for another one.

Wasting the team's precious 15th place.

Phil Jackson has never been a head coach willing to develop rookies, and he has no accomplishments when it comes to developing rookies.

He's better at hugging superstar thighs, he used to hug Jordan, O'Neal, and now he's holding Kobe, he's good at putting a bunch of superstars together.

Moreover, Lee Forest's performance in the pre-draft tryout is unlikely to have a place in his triangular offensive system.

After an in-depth conversation with Kupchak, they decided to choose another rookie.

The distribution of power in Lakers management is actually quite strange.

Although Kupchak is the general manager, Phil Jackson has more power when it comes to player scheduling.

After all, this head coach has coached Jordan and won three consecutive championships with the Lakers.

In addition, the boss Bass also came over from time to time to guide Kupchak's work.

Plus Kobe Bryant, the current No. 1 man in the league, who also prefers to interfere in the work of management.

Therefore, when he is a general manager, he has to ask these three people for instructions separately.

On the surface, Kupchak is very beautiful, and the general manager of the Haoqiang Lakers is Oh, but in fact, he is also very hard.

If it weren't for the fact that Gasol had been put in operation before.

He's probably going to be killed by his boss.

Kobe Bryant's forcing the palace is not so simple.

There's no way the boss will let Kobe Bryant go.

If you don't let Kobe Bryant go, it's no problem to let Kupchak go.

After all, Kobe Bryant only needs one, but the two-legged general manager has a lot.

...........

After Li Linlin's regular training.

I went back to the locker room and changed into a casual suit brought by the designer.

The clothes are very sassy and light yellow.

Li Linlin's customized 5 sets of clothes cost a full 60,000 US dollars.

For him, it is a very luxurious consumption.

However, the high price is naturally matched with good quality.

Li Forest felt that it was worth it.

When Li Linlin appeared on the court in this casual suit that was very fitting and slim.

It instantly attracted the attention of all the media.

A supermodel-like figure, with near-perfect body proportions, and a handsome appearance.

The reporters at the scene instantly seemed to have discovered a new continent, and instructed the photographers to use long guns and short cannons to scare them over.

NBA players are already tall, with that suit, to be honest, as long as it's really not ugly, it's just a stunner among men...

For example, Wade, Wei Shao, Kobe, and Paul are all handsome guys after wearing suits.

Women regardless of nationality, skin color, or age will inevitably commit in the face of such a handsome man.

And the players of the Thunder and Lakers are wearing training uniforms to warm up on the court, so the man in the suit must be more handsome.

Therefore, Li Linlin appeared on the court in a sassy manner.

"Click!"

The flash kept blaring.

And as far away as China, the fans who saw this scene were already screaming.

Originally, they were still struggling with whether to watch this game.

Li Linlin didn't even play the ball game, so there was nothing to see. I didn't expect to warm up before the game and see such a handsome idol pretending to kill.

Okay, let's watch the game, there's not much to do anyway.

Now there can be new posters to collect, and it's time to change the mobile desktop.

……

"Li, yes, yes, it's OK to design a new hairstyle next, this time you go out to take care of your sister and you're absolutely invincible." Ha ha. ”

Westbrick, who was wearing a training uniform, saw this scene and quickly came over to praise Li Linlin's new clothes.

"Russell, get me a set too. Look at the way those female reporters look at Li, they are all a little squinting, and I want it too. Hey"

Collison also came over to join in the fun.

"Okay, I'll give you the designer's phone later."

Westbrook is eager to bring the idea of fashion to all his teammates.

In this way, the temperament of the whole team will be different.

Ohlahoma model team, not bad, not bad.

This is one of Wei Shao's good wishes.

He is very satisfied with Li Linlin's appearance, Li Linlin's model is very good, with good looks and a good figure, of course, the most important thing is that his temperament is OK.

The Turtle has a high opinion of Li Linlin.

Wei Shao also saw KD who wanted to come over and join in the fun.

KD's look of being a little embarrassed to think about it is really a little unbearable.

Li Forest doesn't care about the flash, he is handsome and natural, and his temperament is natural.

Ha ha.

The onlookers of his teammates and the attention of the media to shoot him, he didn't care at all.

Li Linlin's eyes were looking at the Lakers who were warming up in the other half at this time.

Kobe Bryant is practicing his trademark back-to-back footwork.

Li Forest watched Kobe's training and didn't dare to blink his eyes.

If you don't steal at this time, when will you steal from school.

............

The reason why Li Forest wore a suit into the court was also because of the restrictions of the NBA dress code.

In the offseason after the end of the 2004-2005 season, NBA commissioner Stern introduced a dress code that is still controversial to this day.

In October 2005, the NBA enacted a clothing ban: no sleeveless shirts, no T-shirts, no shorts, no hair accessories, no necklaces......

In an interview with ESPN Sports, Stern said, "The dress code isn't a soap opera, it's a life."

Those on the team who do not play are required to wear formal attire.

In Stern's view, a dress code is a proven way to build a good image of the league.

Most of the people who go to the NBA games in person belong to the middle-class and above income groups in the United States, and most of them are well-educated and have an aversion to some of the so-called fancy dresses.

In order to get more rich people to watch the game, and to get more dollars for these people and even their children, every member of the league must meet their small needs in any way.

The players, on the other hand, feel that they are free to choose their own lifestyle and their own style of clothing outside of the game.

BLACK PLAYERS, IN PARTICULAR, WHO ARE MOSTLY FROM THE STREETS, HIP-HOP CULTURE HAS BEEN INGRAINED IN THEIR BLOOD, FAT CLOTHES, SHINY PLATINUM CHAINS AND CADILLAC SPORTS CARS ARE A PART OF THEIR LIVES, AND IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO LEAVE ANY OF THEM BEHIND.

As soon as the dress code was issued, players such as Iverson, Stephen Jackson and even Tim Duncan stood up against it, feeling that the new rules were racist and really restricted the personal freedom of players (and sure enough, there was a strong sense of human rights), but Stern was indifferent, so the dress code was implemented in a noisy manner.

Li Forest has nothing to say about this, he is not black.

Anyway, you can't play, just wear a suit, the Russian city in winter is a little cold, the suit can keep warm, it's good.

After watching Kobe Bryant train for more than ten minutes, Li Forest found that it was useless to look at it like this.

It's no different from a normal training video.

It seems that I still have to ask him for advice in person.
