Chapter 679 2008 NBA Draft
"Dawei, did you forget that I asked you to put the hot water on for me~?!"

Lan Shengli, who returned from a business trip in Chicago, returned to Dawei's house and asked.

"I will definitely work hard to complete the work assigned by the senior consultant from the Los Angeles Clippers~!"

Dawei said jokingly.

"Now my back is sore and my body is weak, I just want to soak in the bathtub~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"You have kidney deficiency, taking a hot bath is useless~!! You have to see a doctor, preferably Chinese medicine, haha~!"

Dawei continued to tease.

"You guy, haven't you learned to be so glib in a few days~?!"

Lan Shengli said angrily.

Although Dawei put hot water in the bathtub early, Lan Shengli didn't seem to be blessed to enjoy it.

Because Xiaojing came suddenly.

And he came to say goodbye to Lan Shengli.

"Shengli, if I leave California this time, I may not come back, so,,, I have something to ask you~!!"

In Lan Shengli's car, Xiao Jing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was talking.

"A few days ago, I also told my family about my breakup with you, but I concealed the fact that I left my job at Berkeley, and I didn't tell them about Zach's existence, because only in this way can I continue to stay in the United States and continue to be with Zach. Stay together, so I hope you can help me hide these things, just like I helped you hide those things from you before~!!"

Xiao Jing explained.

"Xiao Jing, I should have told you too, I have already told my parents about those things, and according to my experience of hiding them for so long, even if you can hide them for a while, you can't hide them for a lifetime~!! And you hide them These things are also a kind of harm to your parents~!! Your parents are the same as my parents, they are not young, I hope you can face them sincerely~!! Don't lie~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a sincere tone.

"That's not what you said when you asked me to help you hide it~!!"

Xiao Jing said with a tangled expression.

"I'm afraid I can't help you now and then, but then again, why do you think your parents can't accept Zach~?!"

Lan Shengli continued to ask.

"Because they still think about you, the son-in-law they are most satisfied with and most looking forward to is you~!!!"

Xiao Jing said, excited emotions welled up in her heart, and tears filled her eyes again.

"Hey~~"

Lan Shengli closed his eyes and sighed.

"Please, Victory, help me hide it for a while, just for a while~!! As long as I can stabilize my position in Miami, I can settle down with Zach, and I can buy a house there, I will tell my parents, When the time comes, they will definitely agree~!!"

Xiao Jing said in a pleading tone.

"Hey~, how about this, I won't take the initiative to tell your parents what to say, and I won't help you deliberately hide it, it's just a state of not knowing anything, and then the next thing is up to you~!!"

As Lan Shengli said, he agreed.

"Okay, if you help me get here, I'm already very satisfied~!! Thank you, victory~!!!"

Xiao Jing smiled and said.

"Stop dawdling around and ruining yourself. If Zach can help you, you'll be fine. If you can't help you, you can go back to California. You have such good violin skills, and you still have some contacts here. Definitely I will find a good job, or, let’s go back to my country~!!”

Lan Shengli said.

"No, Zach and I have already discussed it. We will make a comeback on the south coast of the United States. You don't have to worry about me. Go and pursue your dreams, basketball coach—Lan Shengli~!!"

Xiao Jing also spoke in a blessing tone.

"Good~!"

Lan Shengli responded, returned the seat to its original position, and unlocked the car.

"I hope we will meet again in the future~!"

Xiao Jing said, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Goodbye~"

Lan Shengli stared at the steering wheel in a daze, and said.

At this moment, Lan Shengli, who had mixed feelings in his heart, didn't know what to say.

Xiaojing went to Miami, and for Lan Shengli, it was considered one less concern around him.

"Hey, why did you take a hot bath~?!"

When Lan Shengli returned home, he found Dawei already lying in the steaming bathtub, talking angrily.

"Who knows when you will come back, if the water gets cold, it will be a waste~!"

"You guys,,, really convinced,,,"

Lan Shengli sighed.

After bidding farewell to Xiaojing and finishing those trivial matters, Lan Shengli returned to the intense work.

There is still a month to go before the draft. As the director of player performance and the senior consultant of the basketball affairs department, Lan Shengli has a lot of things to do.

"Gallinari has no contract for international players, Ibaka,"

"This player had a major surgery on his knee in his third year of high school, and the potential for injury is quite serious~!!"

"Gordon's outside shooting percentage was very high during the joint trial training,,,"

Lan Shengli followed the chief scout and others to analyze again.

The draft is getting closer and closer, and the team must work out a whole set of options.

A month passes quickly~

"After serious and careful consideration by our management, we have decided to adopt Victory Blue's application plan, and we will participate in the draft meeting according to this plan tomorrow~!!"

The day before the draft, the general manager announced.

It seems that Lan Shengli's previous selection plan and reconstruction plan have been approved by the management.

This is also the management's recognition of Lan Shengli's ability.

"Hey, how can a university administrator understand the NBA? It seems that the rebuilding of the Clippers will be extended indefinitely again,,,"

Listening to the exclamation of the chief scout, you can tell that he is not convinced by the management's decision.

But after all, in terms of position, Lan Shengli is higher than the chief scout, so the latter can only complain about his depression.

After making final preparations, the Clippers team, headed by the general manager and including Lan Shengli, officially departed from Los Angeles, flew to New York, flew to Madison Square Garden, and flew to the 2008 NBA Draft .

"The talent show, I'm here~!! I hope everything goes well~!!"

Lan Shengli sat in the plane and prayed.

"Welcome to New York, everyone, to Madison Square Garden, where we will be holding the 2008 NBA Draft today, and tonight there will be another 60 young players joining the NBA family, precisely because of these Fresh blood, let our alliance become more and more vigorous, stronger and more exciting~!! Regardless of whether you are selected tonight, you have already taken an important step in your life, towards a higher level Step forward to the stage, work hard towards a better self, and work hard towards better results~!!!”

The opening remarks came from the commissioner of the NBA, David Stern.
