Chapter 663: Junior Brother Yao, I Didn’t Lie to You, It’s Such a Perfect Start!

Greenville was bustling for several days this time.

However, driven by the assists of geniuses such as Ewing and Anderson, a good hand was instantly played to pieces, which indirectly led to the official announcement of a shutdown. Even the power of the media and fans' public opinion was tilted, and there was no impact on both labor and management. Any sympathy.

I cried. Li Shengli actually cried.

Why, the president of the Players Association is elected with his feet?

Let’s not talk about Ewing’s status in the league or his dominance on the court. Let’s just talk about Tianxiu’s speech this time... he pushed everyone into a pit and buried them alive, and after it affected the regular season, it brought everyone The losses that came were even more deadly.

At least that's how Li Shengli is, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't make money for a day.

Of course, the situation has not deteriorated to the worst degree, because there are still about three months until the start of next season, and there may be a turn for the better, but Li Shengli has finally figured it out...

Now that the stalemate has reached this point, both labor and management are waiting for the other side to make concessions. The matter will not be over until both sides are bleeding. The difference depends on who can't hold on first, but bloodletting is basically determined.

…

Go back home! !

Li Shengli was really too lazy to think about it, and this time he returned to China...

Old Turner, the butler whose role has exceeded that of the broker himself, must follow him. After all, there are Li Shengli's investment properties in China that he needs to check and find out. During the lockout, his only income will be from these investments.

But it is different from returning to China before.

This time Thompson did not come, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was brought here by Li Shengli. The reason is very simple...their first stop will be to Shanghai to visit Dayao.

Hmm... Even though he is young, he is big and his name is Dayao.

This can be regarded as Jabbar accepting a student, and Li Shengli has many junior brothers.

As for whether Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is willing...all joking aside, he is definitely willing.

Because he was once the league's super center, and after retiring, he single-handedly coached Li Shengli, who dominated the league. This means that this kind of inheritance has made him never and will never leave the league in his life.

Even strictly speaking, O'Neal and Mourning can be regarded as his students. After all, the two brothers often played with Li Shengli during the offseason, and then they were caught by him and practiced wildly.

A family of super centers? !

The most productive center in the league? !

And if we add another arrogant student, even if he has a somewhat withdrawn personality, he still dares to pat his chest and say...

If the old guy didn't accept it, he would drag the students out to do it.

If the little guy doesn't accept it, he will directly fight with Li Shengli and others.

Peak fifty? !

I'm the biggest, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, okay? !

…

After staying in Greenville for a week and completing the immigration procedures, the young and old set off back home.

The first stop was Shanghai, but unlike the previous officially organized activities, this time it was Li Shengli’s personal action.

Because I had saved the number of Shanghai team coach Li Qiuping before, I called Li Qiuping as soon as I entered Shanghai and said it. Li Qiuping was not calm from the moment he received the call...

Am I crazy?

Have you invited Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

Li Qiuping said he didn’t know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was lying. After all, the NBA represents the highest level of basketball competition in the world. If you want to improve domestic competitiveness, the CBA must align itself with a higher level, and Li Qiuping knows it all too well... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Respecting the Buddha is one of the era labels of the NBA league's fifty years of development.

As a result, the Shanghai team's training for the day was suspended.

It's not about worshiping foreigners, but respect for the seniors in the basketball world. The entire training ground of the Shanghai team became lively. All the young players who were used by Li Qiuping came to watch the fun, including of course Yao Ming.

"Damn it, Dayao, you've gotten rich, and Lao Li is here to find you again." Liu Wei was sore now.

"Let's go on your way. The NBA game has just finished and Lao Li won the championship. Maybe he just came back to have a look. Do you know that he is here to find me?"

"Nonsense, did you think we were all blind last time we played in a friendly match?" Liu Wei scolded: "There are so many NBA superstars practicing with you. I don't believe it if Lao Li didn't ask them for help."

"It's really... Dayao, if Lao Li hadn't come to see you, I would have taken off his head to practice shooting for you."

"I can pick it too. Do you know who Lao Li invited? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the super center in the NBA."

At this moment, several teammates nearby also made some noises, and Yao Ming felt that it was so dreamy... Lao Li is the super center in the NBA, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the boss of the previous generation. How much dignity does this have? ?

…

Didn't have to wait long.

Li Qiuping picked up people from the airport in his car and went directly to the team's camp without even going to the hotel. Li Shengli suspected that Li Qiuping's Poussin had turned into a supercar. He sat in the car and rode around without talking. The leak made Li Shengli feel that life for his domestic colleagues was not easy.

"Brother, there is no speed limit in Shanghai?"

"The speed limit is ridiculous. Even if I pay the fine today, I have to send you away quickly. Who knows how many days you will stay here."

"Damn it, then you should slow down. I was not beaten to death in the United States, but I got into a car accident and got fart in China. Isn't this nonsense? Slow down, slow down. The NBA has suspended its season. I won't leave for the time being. ah."

"Sit tight, I'm going to speed up!"

"Damn it, you haven't stepped on the accelerator yet?"

Li Qiuping was selectively deaf. Li Shengli was so scared that he almost peed. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Old Turner didn't calm down and shouted "So crazy" and drove for more than half an hour... Finally they arrived at the station, which made Li Shengli feel that Li Qiuping was the one to pick him up. What a mistake.

Get off the car and go straight to the training ground.

Li Shengli found that all the members of the Shanghai team were here. When he saw Li Shengli and his team walking into the training ground, the players immediately applauded and welcomed him warmly. Li Shengli also knew several players before and said hello. The relationship was very harmonious. Of course, the key point is Still Yao Ming.

Different from the last time we met.

During the conversation with Li Qiuping, Li Shengli knew that Yao Ming had become the team's main center. Although Yao Ming was still a little reserved, Li Shengli didn't notice it at all and pulled him to the sidelines. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Old Turner were watching from the sidelines. With.

"How's it going, Dayao? I heard from your coach that you're playing well recently?"

"Not really. Last time I played a friendly match, I found that I was still a lot worse. I think..."

"What else are you thinking about? I'm waiting for you to join me now, and I've helped you find a big brother over there to ensure that you get off to a perfect start once you get there." Li Shengli pulled Dayao to the sidelines. He continued: "Don't think I'm in a hurry. Time waits for no one. Our prime time for basketball is only a few years. Don't waste your time. Let's... introduce someone to you."

"This is……"

"Well, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, my teacher, he and Thompson taught me how to play."

"But Thompson plays in the backcourt, so I just helped you find an inside trainer this time."

"Oh, by the way, the fat black guy O'Neal who came last time and Mourning who didn't come here have all practiced with him. Come, shake hands, you will be my little junior brother from now on."

…

Little, little junior brother? !

I'm so excited about riding a horse!

Dayao thought to himself... The teacher is a super center, and so is his senior brother Li Shengli. After all, O'Neal and Mourning, the two new generation of great centers, must also be counted?

Isn't this a lie?

What kind of perfect start is this?

This horse-riding game is obviously... a diamond-encrusted gold start.

…

At this moment, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shook hands with Yao Ming expressionlessly, and Yao Ming was shocked.

But Li Shengli knows... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a withdrawn temperament. He usually doesn't smile with people he doesn't know well. He just wants to be around each other. Of course, the best way for players to get along is on the court. This is also the purpose of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar coming here. .

"Is our teacher..."

"He is very nice, you will know later."

Yao Ming felt a little panicked. After all, unlike his elder brother Li Shengli, they got to know each other quickly because they were both Chinese and their ages were not much different, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was completely different...

"Li, are you sure this guy is the genius player you mentioned?"

"You'll know after you try it for a while. Turner, please work hard and help translate."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at Yao Ming's body shape and felt that he would suffer in the NBA. After all, the 18-year-old Yao Ming was incomparable to the muscles of NBA insiders, and other players' qualities can only be seen in training.

As for letting old Turner, a dabbler, be the translator instead of Li Shengli himself, that was because Li Shengli wanted to talk to Li Qiuping about the situation.

…

To be honest, it's still early for next season in the NBA anyway, and there's no news about the suspension.

I have plenty of time to stay in China, so I am not in a hurry to supplement Yao Ming's training and learn Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skills. It's better to let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar get a feel for it first. After all... having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

The experienced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is more suitable to teach Yao Ming.
