NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

Originally, Jiang Shan looked at Li Kaiming with expectation, thinking that the latter would talk about some unannounced secret weapon, or that Director Liang, who had never seen the dragon before it came to an end, had any other promises. When she heard Li Kaiming say his After relying on her love for basketball, the smile on her face became fixed.

Without Jiang Shan speaking, Li Kaiming only needed to look at the expression on her face to know what she was thinking, so he went on to explain: "I am a basketball player, and I only know basketball, so this investment choice I chose this investment location entirely from a basketball perspective."

Looking at the puzzled expression on Jiang Shan's face, Li Kaiming continued, "In my eyes, if you want the basketball league to form a good and healthy capital cycle, the most important thing is not who invests, how much, or where. But the love for basketball!

If people in a place don't love basketball and don't even have basic respect for basketball, no matter how much money you invest, you won't be able to achieve the desired results, because in their eyes, basketball is just a way to make a living. Tools, they choose basketball not because they love this sport, but because they can get money!

Funds are of course very important in the operation of the league, but if all the people in a league participate in the game for money rather than because of their love for basketball, this league is basically not far away from Liangliang...

On the contrary, if the people here have respect and love for basketball, as long as we help them in the beginning and let the basketball league be established, a positive cycle will be formed spontaneously.

I saw the love and respect I was looking for in the villagers in Panshui County, so I seemed to be desperate to help them. This was not because I was brainless, but the light in their eyes made me confident in them. God helps those who help themselves! "

Listening to Li Kaiming's explanation, Jiang Shan gradually became clear in her heart. Although she was still doubtful about the love and respect Li Kaiming said, it could at least be explained that Li Kaiming's choice of Panshui County was not something he thought of immediately. Well thought out.

In fact, Jiang Shan still underestimated Li Kaiming. Before going to Guizhou Province, he specifically consulted experts and companies from Emerica on many related issues, so his preparation was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. .

When it comes to the commercialization of basketball, America is definitely the best country on the planet. That’s why Li Kaiming must learn from their advanced experience and cultivate the next generation of Chinese basketball. This is to learn from foreigners and learn from others. Control the barbarians.

After revealing his confidence, Li Kaiming put his arm around Jiang Shan's shoulders and said, "Shanshan, there is one more thing."

"What's going on?" Jiang Shan asked confused.

"Why did our investment in Guizhou Province spread so quickly within Hongxinerke? Is it possible that your employees here are all clairvoyant? Also, why do everyone have such a strange attitude towards this matter? Consistent? This is not consistent with probability at all..."

As a senior leader of a large factory, Jiang Shan naturally knew a little bit about some intrigues, so she reacted quickly after Li Kaiming pointed it out.

"You mean, someone is behind the scenes? Deliberately spreading bad news about you?" Jiang Shan covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

Li Kaiming nodded confidently, "When things go wrong, there must be a monster. How can there be such a coincidence? I have experienced more than one smear campaign on America's side, and I am very familiar with this kind of trick..."

Jiang Shan's little face quickly turned cold!

"Hmph! Whoever dares to do something behind my back and let me find out who it is, he will definitely not have to stay here!"

Jiang Shan exuded the decisive and decisive aura from the vice president...

Everything about the construction of the village ba league has been arranged. After that, Li Kaiming also communicated with Liang Zhen on the phone. The main task now is to finalize the contract first, and then Li Kaiming and Hongxin Erke will pay for it. Repair the village ba league venue in Panshui County.

Because the funds are not enough to directly build a large gymnasium, and the local basketball culture is very strong, there will be many participating teams, so this time we chose to build an outdoor basketball court. In subsequent games, Hongxin Erke will also become the village ba As the league's sole equipment provider, as for other business cooperation, those brands need to discuss with the Li Kaiming Foundation, Hongxin Erke and the local person in charge of Panshui County to form an event operation organization, but that will happen later.

The top priority is to ensure that the hardware for the event is ready first, and the rest can be improved slowly.

For this rare investment, the Guizhou Provincial Government also made great efforts to publicize it through official channels, but in the end it had little effect.

Except for the enthusiastic response from local villagers in Guizhou Province, especially Panshui County, there was no response from other places. It was like a pebble thrown into the sea and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. …

Although Li Kaiming also wanted to prove that his choice was correct, because the infrastructure has not been built yet, and the next major event in Panshui County will not be until June next year, the final effect can only be seen next year. The Guizhou Province attaches great importance to their hard-won investment. The Provincial Sports Bureau has a deputy director responsible for the entire process, so Li Kaiming can relax and prepare to return to America.

On September 2012, 9, a day was specially chosen to represent the beginning. Li Kaiming, Jiang Shan and their entourage took a plane from Huadu City and went straight to Washington on the other side of the ocean. Li Kaiming finally left this land. After two full months, I finally came back.

Before Li Kaiming led the Chinese team to the Olympics, the NBA's new summer league had already finished after the draft.

This time the Wizards still chose to participate in the Summer League held in the casino city of Las Vegas. There were 5 games in total. The Wizards won all the games under the leadership of facial paralysis Kawhi Leonard and Buddha Klay Thompson. , eventually winning the Las Vegas Summer League championship.

Last year's two rookies made significant progress. Kawhi Leonard averaged 24 minutes per game in the summer league, scoring 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He can be called a forward matchup machine, and every one of them is with the Wizards. Anyone who has played in a team game must enjoy the feeling of being haunted by a robot's death.

Klay Thompson's performance was very unsatisfactory. I don't know what he did this offseason. He played more than 20 minutes. As a result, he only averaged over 12 points per game and his three-point shooting percentage was even lower. As low as 24%!

The average points scored in this game are almost on par with Thompson's rookie season. If the shooting percentage is included in the factor, his performance is even worse than his rookie season!

In the end, Leonard relied on his outstanding performance in the Summer League and the team's undefeated record to narrowly defeat Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard in the final Las Vegas Summer League MVP voting and win the 2012- In the 2013 season, the MVP of the Casino Summer League and the top scorer award of the Orlando Summer League were won by Lance Stephenson, a second-round pick from the Indiana Pacers.

According to NBA official arrangements, the preseason of the new season will officially start on the 5th of next month. In addition to being held in America, this preseason will also be held in six other countries around the world. Overseas competitions are held in eight cities.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally that the Wizards have two preseason games in China, one against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Huadu MasterCard Center on October 10, and one against the Nets at the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Center on October 11. However, after last season, the Nets owner seemed to realize that New Jersey was not a suitable place for the lottery, so his family moved the Nets from New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York, officially ending the Nets' 10-year history in New Jersey.

After returning to Washington, Jiang Shan is going to Hongxinerke's headquarters in America. After all, as the vice president in charge of overseas affairs, she must have a lot of backlog to deal with after being away for several months.

Li Kaiming drove to the familiar MCI Center immediately. The security guard at the arena was stunned when he saw him for the first time. Li Kaiming took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

Before he arrived at the training ground, Li Kaiming could hear shouts and screams coming from the stadium in the distance. He wondered if these guys had trained well in his absence. With this thought in his mind, he raised his legs and stepped forward. to the training ground.

In the stadium, teammates are practicing layup techniques and handwork under the guidance of the team's trainer. Coach Sanders himself is not here.

Li Kaiming walked over and put his bag on the ground. His voice was quickly noticed by the trainers and other staff standing on the sidelines. There were also sharp-eyed players on the court who shouted after seeing Li Kaiming!

"Li! It's Li! Li is back!"

Li Kaiming is back! This voice instantly sounded in the hearts of all the Wizards players, and then they turned their heads and looked towards the sidelines. After seeing that familiar smile, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

This is Li Kaiming's status in the Wizards. No matter what happens, as long as he stands on the sidelines, the Wizards players will feel very at ease, because Li Kaiming is the core and backbone of this team!

Li Kaiming laughed and hugged his teammates one by one. When it was Thompson's turn, he had a straight face, "I heard that your kid didn't train well in the offseason? Did you have a big problem in the summer league?"

Thompson's face trembled, and he looked in the other direction guiltily, "It's not there, it just feels a little bit bad..."

Li Kaiming's momentum continued unabated, pressing forward step by step, "Then tell me, what did you do in the offseason?"

Thompson swallowed, not daring to look into Li Kaiming's eyes, "I'm... training..."

At this time, an emotionless robotic voice came from the side, "This guy trains to control the ball with both hands in nightclubs every day during the offseason. At most, he can control 6 balls by himself..."

Li Kaiming turned to look at Leonard, and saw that the latter exposed Thompson's lies mercilessly, "He also sent me photos and invited me to come with him..."

If looks could kill, Thompson would be able to crush this hateful face into thousands of pieces right now!

After listening to Leonard's words, Li Kaiming was stunned. Are all young people today so good at playing? This kid Thompson looked at such a talented person, but he didn’t expect to be so fancy? Controlling 6 balls at the same time? Why the hell do you work so hard on the training field and you can still dribble the ball to your knees in a fast break 1-on-0?

Really speechless!
