Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The preseason has only been played for about half a month, and the teams are actively adjusting their lineups, winning and losing each other.

Although the record is not counted in the preseason, winning or losing does not matter, but in this half-month preseason, the Charlotte Hornets are undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Game 1 against the Atlanta Hawks.

The newly promoted center Li Shengli scored a quasi-quadruple-double data that shocked everyone, which not only proved the competitiveness of the Hornets this season, but also attracted the attention of the entire league, allowing Hornets fans to see the hope of their own team. For this reason, the entire Hornets fans The group size exploded.

Speaking of it, the NBA is essentially a commercial league, and for the teams in the league, the fan base and attention from all walks of life are the basis for their survival.

Obviously, the Hornets have done a very good job at this point. With Li Shengli, the second place in this year's list, as the protagonist, he has caught the attention of all parties on the stage of the preseason game that has not been paid attention to.

So I learned from others... Several teams that captured this year's popular rookies also played tricks and frantically swiped.

Shaq O'Neal of the Orlando Magic also posted a triple-double. Although he did not meet the quasi-four standard, it also made people see his potential.

The same is true for Alonzo Mourning of the Minnesota Timberwolves. With the concerted efforts of his teammates, he also scored a triple-double.

If Li Shengli and O'Neal are the two flowers in this draft, and Mourning is the green leaf, then...Christian Laettner has really become the fertilizer of the other three.

Although the Dallas Mavericks also scored a large double-double in a preseason game, it is still a lot worse than the previous three mountains.

In this regard... the league officials are happy to see the results, and they cooperated unexpectedly. They did not arrange for these teams to meet in advance of the preseason. Instead, they used the TV media to create momentum for several rookies and create suspense for the upcoming regular season.

Rookie first game.

The quasi-quadruple-double, triple-double, and double-double data have been generated?

What the hell... are all newbies this fierce?

For a while, all the fans were looking forward to the collision of these people in the regular season, and classified the 1992 draft as the highest quality draft in all NBA drafts except for the 84 diamond generation.

If...the pick doesn't represent strength, then who will be the strongest rookie in this draft?

...

the end of October.

The much-anticipated regular season finally kicked off, and the Hornets hadn’t played in the opening game of the first week, so after the opening game... In the first week of November, the Hornets ushered in their first opponent in the regular season this season. Away game against the Washington Bullets.

One day in advance, the Hornets coaching staff and players arrived in Washington. Although it is an away game, it is the first game of the season after all, rather than consecutive back-to-back games, so there is no need to worry about being overwhelmed.

...

After staying in the hotel, Bishop Alan did not restrict the movement of the players. Li Shengli shared a room with Curry, and the uninvited guest Jill brought Boggs over to visit.

"Li, are there any activities tonight? Do you want to go to see the prosperity of Washington with the great Jill?" Boggs knew too well what Jill said about the prosperity, and his eyes couldn't help but glow.

"Come on, get out, I'm still a child, you can't lead me down!" Li Shengli scolded while lying on the field with a smile.

The prosperity of Washington?

Are you going to take him to a nightclub?

You can experience the prosperity without spending money, but the expressions of Jill and Boggs make Li Shengli feel... This must be another sugar-coated shell fired by capitalism at him.

"Oh, my God, a child who is 2.18 meters? Do you think anyone will believe you are a child? Boggs, what do you think?" Jill asked Boggs with a downcast face.

"Oh shit, I'm a kid compared to you, okay?" Boggs said, covering his face.

As soon as he lay on Li Shengli's bed, Li Shengli pushed him away, and he climbed onto Curry's bed with a bitter face. There is no doubt... Curry kicked him away, which made him very depressed .

When... the little pistachio Boggs, whom everyone loves about the Hornets, turned into a little rascal who everyone beats up?

"You two bastards!" Boggs cursed, "Li, last time you said that you would treat guests to a big meal, how about it, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, come with us, you... pay the bill !"

...

I'll pay?

Li Shengli scratched his head and thought... I just paid my salary, you wicked people are ready to kill yourself?

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the regular season, the team will pay the players the salary agreed in the contract in batches at the beginning and middle of each month. Generally speaking, there are a total of 24 times in a year...

Li Shengli received his first salary in his life a few days ago.

However...he is different from others. For commercial activities such as endorsement and advertising, there is no news from agent Sven Turner. His only source is the salary paid by the team.

But the taxes in the United States are very heavy. After deducting taxes, brokers' share, and trainer fees, the money in hand is less than $50,000.

Fifty thousand dollars?

That sounds like a lot, but...money depreciates and people grow old.

The young and experienced poor Li Shengli had no choice but to plan ahead and start planning for the retirement of himself and his parents. Although... Sven Turner introduced him to several good investment projects, he was not satisfied, and his favorite was Return to China to invest.

What can you invest in?

Li Shengli was at a loss.

After all, he is still a poor student who has never seen the big world, and the only thing he can think of is to convert the money he just got into more than a dozen Dongfanghong walking tractors...

If you pay your salary twice a month, you can save 30 tractors, and you can save more than 300 tractors a year, and you can build a fleet of tractors.

When the farming is busy, go to the field to work?

But there is not so much farm work in the village of my hometown, and more than 300 tractors are needed.

When you are not busy, do a wedding team?

This is a good idea, but... there are not so many people getting married in ten miles and eight towns, and there is a fleet of 300 tractors in a whole, I am afraid that it will be on the rhythm of the news broadcast.

Farming tycoon?

Wedding expert?

These ideas were all given up by Li Shengli, and he could only think about saving all the money and think about it later.

...

"A treat for a big meal? All right, let's go!"

You can't be too stingy, Li Shengli feels that he should be more generous to these big brothers, at least he still understands the principle of treating guests to dinner.

So...he took his excited brothers, and a group of four stepped out of the hotel gate, and arrived at the destination after turning a corner.

"Oh shit, what the hell are you going to treat in this bloody place?"

"Li, are you kidding us, bastard?"

"You liar, liar!"

Ken... KFC?

Seeing the brightly lit KFC fast food restaurant offering discounted events, the three brothers were stunned and wanted to hit someone so angry that they hung on Li Shengli's body, tore and pinched, and Li Shengli carried the three brothers all the way into KFC.

"Don't worry, just eat. If you're full, you'll play tomorrow. Brother, I...have money!"
