In the evening.

A buffet was held in the main hall of the cruise ship.

That's actually the subject.

Here, businessmen, dignitaries, and celebrities can socialize, develop interpersonal relationships, and talk about cooperation.

Relying on his identity as a Chinese, Li Lei has met many Chinese Americans.

The richest man in Los Angeles, Chinese Huang Xinxiang, is engaged in the pharmaceutical industry.

There are also Sun David, Wang Heng, Cheng Zhengchang, etc., all celebrities in the Chinese circle in North America.

Because of their natural origins, several people get together.

Huang Xinxiang also asked: "Stone, do you want to play in Los Angeles?" I'm going to buy some of the Lakers or Clippers, what do you think? ”

Li Lei: "That's at least something that will be considered next summer." As for business, I really don't know much about it. But I think there's David? Stern is at the helm of the league and investing in NBA teams is a sure bet. ”

Everyone nodded: "Stern is indeed a character. ”

"In recent years, the rapid economic development, the continuous improvement of people's living conditions, and the increasing number of people who pay attention to sports, investing in the NBA is indeed a good direction."

Li Lei: "In domestic terms, if the material conditions are improved, the spiritual civilization will also be improved." Anyway, Chinese fans have grown a lot in the past two years! ”

"That's true!"

The crowd nodded.

"It's not easy for everyone to come to North America to break through, but you have to twist it into a rope and keep in touch more in the future."

Huang Xinxiang said again.

Everyone is friendly and exchanges contact information separately.

That's the essence of the buffet, developing relationships.

After that, Avril took the stage to sing.

Avril at night is different from daytime.

She changed into a dress and painted a thick smoky makeup, and the temperament of "" came spontaneously.

A series of cabaret performances, followed by ballroom dancing.

O'Neal, Wade, and Mourning all invited their dance partners to dance.

Even Li's father and Li's mother joined in.

Leave one Li Lei alone to eat dog food in place.

Wade also specially ridiculed Li Lei: "You were single last year, and this year again." ”

He touched his cheeks again, and it seemed to be getting bigger this year: "Alas, there is no way, the temperament of a beautiful man can't be covered at all." ”

Looking at the narcissistic Wade, Li Lei gave a big gift: Foshan has no shadow feet!

Suddenly, a white and tender jade hand appeared in front of Li Lei.

"Stone, would you like to invite me to a dance?"

"I can't ask for it!"

Girls have taken the initiative, and if they don't make a move, they are still a man?

Li Lei led Avril Lavigne onto the dance floor.

Wade: "......"

"That's Avril? Damn, this kid is amazing! ”

Looking at his dance partner again, Wade suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

That's Avril!

And he took the initiative to invite Li Lei, what kind of world is this?

Is it really not good-looking to have big cheeks?

Wade immediately began to doubt life.

……

Three days later, the luxury cruise ship returns to port.

Li Lei and Avril exchanged contact information with each other, and went their separate ways.

Avril is going back to Los Angeles to prepare a new album.

And Li Lei also has to be evaluated by a professional team.

Li Lei first did a detailed physical test.

The data at rest is:

Name: Lei Li.

Age: 20 years old.

Date of birth: July 27, 1984.

Bare height: 205cm.

Arm span: 220cm.

Weight: 100 kg.

Palm length: 24cm.

Palm width: 25cm.

This year, Li Lei grew 2cm taller.

In the subsequent dynamic test, Li Lei's running and jumping have improved a lot compared with the last offseason.

The evaluation team was stunned.

"I've never seen a guy improve so much in a season."

Li Lei just smiled.

He actually knows his panel data.

Strength 79, Speed 70, Stamina 68, Reaction Speed 65, Explosiveness 70, Balance 52.

Average 69.

Skill Proficiency:

Bloody Cap (Intermediate).

Precision steals (intermediate).

Kraft Candy Defense (Intermediate).

100 steps through the poplar (intermediate).

Rebounding sense of smell (intermediate).

……

This season, Li Lei's fastest improvement is explosiveness.

With strong explosiveness, Li Lei's speed and bounce will be greatly improved.

This is also the reason why in the previous playoffs, Li Lei's rebounds and dunks increased.

According to Li Lei's physical test, the team determined the focus of Li Lei's training next season.

Breakthrough!

Now Li Lei is already a super shooter, and his passing skills are also quite good.

If the breakthrough can be further improved, Li Lei can play the triple threat.

And the players who can make three threats are the most difficult to defend.

Because the defender never knows what you're going to do next.

After deciding on the direction, Bill? Duffy brought in a professional trainer, Tim? Graver.

This man is amazing.

Historically, his three most famous apprentices are: Jordan, Kobe, and Wade.

The three major quarterbacks in history.

Duffy also found a lot of connections before contacting Graver, with a weekly salary of $50,000.

Graffer exclaimed on the phone: "I thought Kobe Bryant was the craziest, he just won the championship, so he went to learn from Big Dream." But you're crazier than him, take the FMVP, and don't rest for a day. ”

Li Lei smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't it already a week off?" ”

Graver: "......"

It was also Li Lei who invited Graffer in advance, and in a few weeks, people who wanted to invite Graffer lined up in a long line, but they couldn't invite them.

Graffer is also very professional, and before he came, he asked Duffy for Li Lei's physical test data and game video, and conducted some research.

After coming to Miami, Graffer directly pointed out Li Lei's problem: "Your explosiveness is very good, but it is still not enough, and the absolute speed of the first step is not enough for you to pass the defender directly." ”

"But your height is here, and your stride is big enough. With just one step, you can step past the defender. ”

"Also, you're very nimble and very agile on your feet. So I think the first training of your triple threat should be a tentative step. ”

"The second item is a change of direction, a super-large change of direction. Even if you can't get past the defender in the first step, a super large change of direction in the second step is a defender's nightmare. ”

Li Lei kept nodding.

Graffer really hit the nail on the head and got straight to the point.

In the next few weeks, Li Lei trained with Graffer.

Graffer's rule is to practice four days a week, and it's not just about honing your skills.

He also has to develop some physical training plans according to the physical condition of the client.

The body is paired with technology, which is the most incomprehensible.

……

In the past few weeks, something else has happened.

Nike contacts also came to Miami.

They plan to design other colors for Li Lei's first-generation signature sneaker, "Red Eye".

In addition to this, the second generation of signature shoes also has an idea.

The name of this generation is "All-Win", and it came out on the Heat's 16-0 playoff run.

And again, it's an expedited project.

Nike's design director asked the team to reduce the usual 9 months to 2 months, so that Li Lei could "win" at this year's Asian Games.

……

Then at the end of June.

Li Lei accepted the invitation of TNT Radio as a special guest, and Charles? Buckley, Kenny? Smith talks about the draft together.

In fact, this time, TNT invited O'Neill first.

It's just that O'Neal was busier in the offseason than in the middle of the season, recording new songs, acting in movies, and playing a police cosplay on the streets of Miami.

O'Neill's two uncles were both police officers, and his stepfather, who brought him up, also came from the army.

So before O'Neal entered the league, he always wanted to be a police officer.

Some fans ridiculed: O'Neal is a policeman who was delayed by basketball.

So, O'Neill simply didn't have time to be a special guest.

He recommended his little brother Li Lei to TNT.

On June 28, Li Lei came to Madison Square Garden.

The second time he came to the draft, Li Lei's mood was completely different.

For the first time, he was also a rookie to be selected, nervous, worried, and excited......

And now, it's looking at the other newcomers condescendingly.

Li Lei first went to the backstage of the live broadcast room and rounded with Barkley and Smith.

"Hey, Charles! Hey, Kenny! ”

As soon as Li Lei met, he greeted each other first and fought with the two.

"Hey, Stone!"

Seeing Li Lei's enthusiasm, Barkley and Smith were not upright.

Barkley then joked, "I'm going to make a comeback, go to your team and get a ring, otherwise that Shaq guy will always use it on me: championship warning!" ”

Li Lei: "Then come on, our team will leave a lot of people in the summer, and there is really a shortage of people." ”

Barkley: "You're not kidding? I took it seriously. ”

Li Lei: "You joked first!" ”

Barkley: "......"

Smith laughed.

Li Lei is really a good person, which is more hateful than the "championship warning".

Li Lei then laughed: "But you should ask Riley about this, he is in the draft office on the second floor, I can help you contact him first." ”

"Forget it."

Barkley himself gave up first, after all, he was 43 years old.

And what's the point of the mixed championship, that Shaq guy will definitely look down on him even more.

Barkley, as a former superstar, is also dignified.

However, after some temptation, they found that Li Lei was quite talkative and funny, and he was qualified as a special guest.

The live stream is about to start.

Barkley and Smith advanced to the live broadcast room.

"First of all, welcome to our special guests."

"2 All-Star starts, 1 vote king, 1 All-Star MVP, 2 three-point contest winners, 1 All-Star Team, 2 All-Defensive Team, 1 steal king, 1 championship, 1 FMVP ......"

Smith was about to say his name.

Barkley suddenly interjected: "Oh, I haven't noticed, this guy's honor is already so much. Who the hell is this guy? ”

Li lei!

In fact, fans have already guessed it.

There is only one young player who has been in the limelight in the league in recent years.

Yao Ming, Xiao Si, and Kaba in the class of '02, James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh in the class of '03, Howard and Okafor in the class of '04......

Compared with this person, it is a big difference.

What's more, this person just won the Finals MVP not long ago, and the fans are deeply impressed.

"Let's welcome Stone!"

Following Smith's voice, Li Lei ran into the live broadcast room.

"Hello everyone, your rookie No. 44 is here!"

Li Lei greeted the camera, and then sat between Barkley and Smith.

2005 wasn't a big year for the draft, but there were some favorites.

Andrew? Bogut.

The Australian center, who was ravaged by Yao Ming at last summer's Athens Olympics, has questioned Bogut's prowess by scouts from NBA teams.

However, this season, he averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds (second in the league), 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per game in the NCAA, shooting 62% from the field (eighth in the league).

He was voted No. 1 in the Associated Press All-American Team poll, was named Associated Press and ESPN Player of the Year and Naismith College Player of the Year, and won the John Wooden Award.

Marvin? Williams.

Jordan's North Carolina junior, a swingman at the front.

His stats are average, averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

However, he only played 22 minutes per game, and his efficiency was not bad.

Marvin Williams, along with Raymond Felton, Sean May, and Rashad McCantz, led North Carolina to the championship title. In the final match between North Carolina and the University of Illinois, Marvin hit a rebound with 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the game, breaking the deadlock of 70 on the court and helping North Carolina finally win.

"NCAA Champion", "Jordan Junior", "Savior at Critical Moments", "Offensive and Defensive", relying on these four points, Marvin has become a top favorite.

Chris? Paul.

Paul's performance in the NCAA is also very good, and many media outlets unanimously believe that if Paul runs, he will definitely be guaranteed a high pick.

And rumor has it that the Hawks have negotiated with Paul and will draft Paul with the second pick.

Barkley asked, "Stone, who do you think will be the top pick?" ”

Li Lei thought for a while and replied: "Charles, if I had this ability, I wouldn't have been selected with the 44th pick." ”

Li Lei's self-deprecation made Barkley and Smith laugh directly.

"Still."

Li Lei continued: "The Bucks who got the top pick, their guard line has TJ Ford and Reed, and the front line has Mason and Joe? Smith, what is most needed is a center. So I think Bogut is the most likely to be the champion. ”

Smith nodded: "This inference is quite reasonable. After all, Bogut has the nickname of Duncan in Australia, and his strength is not bad. ”

"Australian Duncan?"

Barkley exclaimed, "Kenny, I think you're insulting Tim." ”

"I agree!"

Li Lei immediately responded to Barkley: "There will not be a second Duncan in this world." I just said that Bogut could be the champion, not that he could be the next Duncan. Thank you that this year is a draft year. ”

Smith was stunned, but he didn't expect Barkley and Li Lei to have the same opinion.

Barkley hugged Li Lei: "In the words of your hometown, the hero sees the same thing." ”

"What about the list? Do you think it could be Paul? After all, the rumors of Paul and the Hawks are very lively. ”

Smith asked.

Li Lei blurted out: "The thunder is loud, and the rain is small." ”

"I took a look at the Hawks' lineup, they have Tyronn at the point guard position? Lu, but the third position is the weakest, so it is most likely Marven? Williams. ”
