I'm not really a role player

Chapter 94 The talent show begins (4.2K fifth update)
December 6, US time.

Li Ke set off from Los Angeles, besides Lu Ning and David Falk, there was also a group of socialist uncrowned kings carrying long guns and short cannons.

A group of people, valiant and high-spirited, went straight to the Big Apple City.

"Li Ke, can you spoil your draft?"

On the plane, Su Qun sat next to Li Ke.

Li Ke shook his head: "Mr. Su, there is really nothing to spoil, and I don't know who will choose me."

"Just talk about who promised you the draft. Are there any Rockets? They say that the Rockets will trade Tracy McGrady for you. Is there such a thing?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Su, there are only three teams promised in the draft."

When the Rockets were mentioned again, Li Ke quickly refuted the rumors, and then told the truth: "The Bobcats, Hornets and Lakers."

"Bobcats? Hornets? Lakers!" Su Qun frowned first, and when he counted the Lakers, he smiled happily: "Go to the Lakers, the Lakers are good, Los Angeles, a big city, and partner with Kobe."

"Stop Kobe, haven't you paid attention to the NBA during this period? Kobe is leaving soon!"

It was Yang Yi who intervened. He used honorific words like yours while speaking, but there was no trace of respect in his tone.

"Can I not pay attention? Isn't Li Ke gone? If Li Ke has gone, can Kobe still go?"

Listening to the argument between the two, Li Ke put on the blindfold and earplugs, and suddenly felt that it was not a wise move for this group of media to follow.

But both David Falk and Lu Ning said that with this group of media reporters, domestic business development will be unfavorable.

Well, for those red banknotes, Li Ke can only sacrifice himself.

Arrived in New York, got off the plane, Li Ke immediately got into the big labor called by David Falk, the car started, and headed to the hotel.

Li Ke's parents also came to New York, as well as his cousin who is a Chinese agent. After all, this is the draft, which is equivalent to a major event in life to be named on the gold list.

In the hotel, father and son, mother and son meet each other.

"Xiao Ke has lost weight..."

"What look in your eyes, this is obviously strong!"

His mother said he was thin, and his father said he was strong, but Li Ke was mixed with embarrassment and emotion in his heart, and suddenly had an urge to cry, and tears rolled down his handsome cheeks.

"Why are you still crying, man!"

"Why are you so fierce? Xiao Ke just looks like he misses his mother. Mom hugs..."

Embracing his parents in this life, Li Ke had mixed feelings.

I can't go back, but it's good to keep it, at least, he is happy now.

He has his own goals and can touch his own dreams.

And the button to open this dream is just ten kilometers away at the Madison Square Garden Theater, waiting for his arrival...

……

"Hey, Kevin."

In the hotel, Li Ke also ran into Xiao Du. Xiao Du, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, really surprised him.

emmm... Mainly because of the drastic change in his attire. He saw the thick gold chain hanging around Xiao Du's neck. He also saw the big gold watch on Xiao Du's hand, as well as the ordinary T-shirt and jeans, which were replaced by a casual Balenciaga.

Nouveau riche, this is it!
"Sheldon, what's up..."

Xiao Du turned around like a catwalk.

What I got was Li Ke shaking his head: "The temperament of a dick is still the same, and, you can't wear it at tomorrow's talent show, right?"

Now the NBA has a dress code, and big gold watches and big gold chains are not allowed.

Xiao Du smiled: "I'm just wearing it for fun, and I'll change into a THOM BROWNE suit tomorrow."

"I have money."

"Of course, didn't you read it? I just signed the second largest rookie sneaker contract in NBA history!"

Xiao Du was bragging about himself like this, Li Ke's smile became very strange, he interrupted Xiao Du: "Kevin, how long have you not watched the news?"

"Three hours..."

Xiao Du was stunned for a moment.

"Find a computer and have a look."

The computer was quickly found. On the homepage of ESPN, the red headline read: Sheldon Lee signed with Air Jordan for $7 million in 7000 years, surpassing KD and becoming the second player in rookie history!
Hey!
Xiao Du swears, and turns to look at Li Ke in disbelief.

Li Ke showed a smile: "Sorry, Kevin, your dick is mine..."

After staying in Los Angeles for so many days, Li Ke was not idle. He waited for Lu Ning to register the shell company in the Cayman Islands.

Then he officially signed with Air Jordan and Coca-Cola, and the press release was not officially issued until he arrived in New York.

Before that, the first endorsement fee had already been paid to his account.

Perhaps, he didn't get more money than Xiao Du, but in the news, the one who squeezed Xiao Du to the third place was my brother Li from the society!
Moreover, Li Ke has not told Xiao Du that if he chooses Li Ning, he will lose even LeBron James's chrysanthemum (Lebron, who just lost the finals, tightened his belt).

……

On the day of the draft, Li Ke also had a suit. It was a custom-made Armani that he bought for $3 before coming to New York.

After getting up, he took a look in the mirror, and even Li Ke himself secretly praised: Handsome!
After leaving the fitting room, David Falk looked at Li Ke and said silently: "It seems that I can help you find a suit endorsement. There should be many big names flocking to it."

In the eyes of Li Ke's parents, their son is of course the most handsome.

Li's mother asked: "You are so handsome, I heard that there will be many female celebrities at the talent show today?"

"Maybe?"

"That's right, make them handsome, hook some back, and give birth to grandchildren for your mother and me!"

Li Ke: ￣□￣｜｜
After setting off, Da Lao replaced it with a longer Lincoln that can hold more people.

Today's draft, Li Ke was invited to enter the small green room, and he planned to bring his parents, cousin, and Lu Ning in.

Of course, David Falk will also go in, but Jeff Green is also a member of the Little Green Room. At that time, he can sit with Jeff Green or Li Ke.

When Li Ke's family set off from the hotel, Yang Wu's broadcast had already started.

Sitting in front of the camera were still the familiar Director Zhang and Yu Jia. After some shouting from CCTV, the two officially cut into the topic.

"This year's draft will be the most rewarding draft in the history of Chinese basketball!"

"That's right, although the draft hasn't started yet, we can already see from the pre-election predictions that Yi Jianlian and Li Ke are lottery favorites, and Sun Yue has also entered the second round. It is very likely that we will welcome three NBA players from China at once!"

Extended Lincoln arrived at the Madison Square Garden Theater. The driver got out of the car and opened the side door. Li Ke got out first with his head down.

Click, click, the spotlight flashed.

David Falk walked to Li Ke: "This is the NBA Draft. It is not only the beginning of many people's dreams, but also a huge show."

Is it a show?

Indeed, Li Ke thought of Los Angeles a few days ago. When he was out dining, he met a blonde girl who claimed to be some kind of Hollywood actor.

Even those from MTFK couldn't get rid of them, so they clamored to go to the draft with Li Ke.

Fortunately, Li Ke ran fast...

Now, at the entrance of the theater, facing the siege of reporters, Li Ke escorted his parents and left very quickly.

After entering the theater, under the leadership of the staff, the family went straight to the area where the small green house was located, and quickly found their seats.

There is a very front seat with three or five stools, and a table with some food and a few baseball caps with the team logo on it.

There were already quite a few people in the theater, and Li Ke saw Greg Orden and his family on one side, and... Hey, he was actually a compatriot on the other side!

"A Lian, hello..."

"Thunder monkey..."

After saying hello, but really unable to think of what to say, Li Ke scratched his head.

Ah Lian said on his own: "I got draft commitments from the Warriors and Clippers, how about you?"

"Lynx."

"The eighth pick in the first round? It's so high..."

"Ha ha."

"Charlotte is a small city, business development may be poor, my advice is don't go..."

Hearing Ah Lian's suggestion, Li Ke realized that in his previous life, Ah Lian seemed to have refused to go to Milwaukee after the Bucks selected him.

At that time, the domestic media said it was Dan Fagan's idea.

Li Ke glanced at Dan Feigen not far away: "Then I will give you a suggestion, find a chance to fire Dan Feigen, he is not a good manager..."

The camera scanned the area, and director Zhang in the live broadcast room shouted: "Hey, is that Li Ke and Ah Lian?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"The two of them are chatting, and they don't know what they are talking about..."

The chat was awkward, but fortunately Xiao Du arrived in time and rescued him.

"Kevin, are you ready?"

"of course."

"Supersonic?"

"how do you know?"

"Guess..."

After the chat in Chicago, Li Ke already guessed that Xiao Du should accept the Supersonics' solicitation. After all, if he is selected with the second overall pick, the only rookie in the same class that Xiao Du needs to surpass is Greg Oden.

There's nothing wrong with being the second child!
……

In China, Guo Ailun, who has already left the provincial youth team, returned home. His old uncle used his connections to help him find a high school in Chicago. In a few days, he will leave for the United States.

Today is the draft, and Guo Ailun is also standing in front of the TV.

The main reason is Li Ke. He started to pay attention to Li Ke from the NCAA semifinals, and even went back to understand Li Ke's career.

Naturally, there must be a beginning and an end. He wants to watch Li Ke put on a certain team's baseball cap in this draft and officially enter the NBA.

Then follow the footsteps of the predecessors and embark on their own path.

"The 2007 NBA Draft is about to start, and NBA Commissioner David Stern has already stood on the main stage."

Guo Ailun took a deep breath, guessing the draft pick of Li Ge in the society.

……

Back at the scene, the Madison Square Garden theater boos.

Li Ke is not surprised, New York fans are like this, bitter and bitter, they will boo twice when they see anyone, it is no wonder that David Stern and even Xiao Hua after that don't want to see them.

Even the Bulls, Pelicans, and Cavaliers can win the No. [-] pick in secret, but the Knicks, who are getting worse every year, can't do it. Who will make your fans disobedient and lose face?

"2007 NBA Draft, first round, first pick, Portland Trail Blazers pick-"

David Stern drew a long note, and the boos in the theater grew louder.

Until he pronounced Greg Oden's name: "Greg from Ohio State! Oden!"

There was no suspense, even Xiao Du, who was not far away, clapped his hands expressionlessly.

Greg Oden stood up amid applause, hugged the family around him, then put on a Blazers baseball cap, and walked to the stage with long legs.

He shook hands with the diminutive David Stern before standing together for a photo.

In the audience, Xiao Du who was not far away was already ready.

"2007 NBA Draft, first round, second pick, the Seattle SuperSonics selected-"

"Kevin Durant from UT Austin!"

God is sorry to see you, when Li Ke heard about the University of Texas at Austin, his heart skipped a beat.

Although he knew it was impossible, at that moment, he still thought about it, whether he also had a chance to snatch Xiao Du's second child in the draft?

Well, the results came out, impossible, Sam Presti is not a fool.

Xiao Du got up, also hugged his mother and grandmother beside him, and high-fived his agent Rob Pelinka, then put on a supersonic green hat, walked to the center of the stage with long legs.

With the third pick in the first round, the Eagles had hoped that the Supersonics would be stupid, but they didn't. They could only choose Al Horford, the best remaining player.

With the fourth pick in the first round, the Grizzlies selected Mike Conley.

With the fifth pick in the first round, a deal happened...

Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with Li Ke. The protagonist of the trade is Du’s new team, the Supersonics. They completed a two-for-three deal with the Celtics——

"The Supersonics and the Celtics completed a deal. Wallis Zebiak and Delonty West went to the Supersonics. In addition, there was the fifth pick of the Celtics. The Celtics got Ray Allen and the 35th overall pick in the second round..."

"My God! Ray Allen went to the Celtics?"

"This deal is enough to steal!"

Hearing the deal, everyone in the theater felt different.

Like Mitch Kupchak, he frowned.

Before the draft, he approached Danny Ainge and offered to trade Kobe for Pierce of the Celtics plus the No. 5 pick, but was rejected.

Now, he understood why Angie rejected him.

"Ray Allen is just the beginning, and then the Celtics will make a big move, a shockingly big move..."

Yellow and green have been sworn enemies since ancient times. Thinking of this, Kupchak felt restless for no reason.

He asked the assistant around him to make a call: "Ronnie, call the Timberwolves and let them choose Sheldon with the seventh overall pick in the first round... Oh yes, let's call Kobe first..."

Kupchak also heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that the deal he advocated was about to be completed.

The bastard who called himself an idiot is going to get out, and he will also get the assets to rebuild the team from this deal, and a new Lakers will set sail in his hands!
ESPN TV station, Skip Bayless, who was later nicknamed "American Yu Jia" by domestic fans, is sharing the gossip he got from the Lakers: "The Lakers are about to complete the deal, a three-way deal with the Timberwolves and the Bulls. From this deal, they will get Luol Deng, Ben Wallace, a player who cannot be named for the time being, and the No. 7 pick of the Timberwolves. They will use this No. 7 pick to select Sheldon Lee..."

"The Timberwolves can get the Bulls' No. 9 pick and Andre Nocioni from this deal, the Bulls? What do you think, of course they got Kobe Bryant!"

Seeing the beauty pretending to beep, Mei Yang Yang's face was darkened, why didn't he hear about this deal from Kobe?

　Ask for a monthly pass!
