The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 202 The End of the NBA CBA
In a French restaurant in San Antonio, Duncan and Popovich sat in front of Li Xun.

Originally, Li Xun wanted to ask Yao Ming to come with him, but Yao Ming didn't want to join in the fun.

"Li, what did you think at that time?"

"How could you only sign with the Pistons management for three years?"

"Could it be that there is something the Pistons did that dissatisfied you?"

Popovich tapped on the side and began to ask.

Li Xun shook his head, "This is a commercial secret and cannot be leaked."

"But I have no issues with the Pistons management."

After finishing speaking, Li Xun drank the red wine in the glass in front of him in one gulp.

Then I poured myself another full glass, and felt bored again.

I have to say that Popovich's collection of red wine is really good.

How could Li Xun know about red wine? He only knew that the red wine was delicious, like drinking tap water.

The corners of Popovich's mouth twitched, which meant that he didn't understand Chinese, otherwise he would definitely say something like "Niu Chew Peony".

This is a $1000 bottle of wine, and Li Xun drank half of the bottle, just like drinking Gatorade.

Duncan was still looking for opportunities, trying to persuade Li Xun to let Lagabel go, but Li Xun didn't talk to him at all, and just drank on his own.

After the game ended, Popovich's face turned green.

Li Xun drank five bottles of wine by himself. Is this the reincarnation of the Jiuxian?
The key lies in his unfinished appearance, as if he can continue to drink.

Popovich felt very distressed, and swore in his heart that he would never be at the same wine table with Li Xun again.

After drinking a lot, Li Xun finally vented his frustration at losing, and took a taxi back to the hotel.

Tang Shuai also knew that Li Xun had gone out to drink, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

They have back-to-back games against the Kings tomorrow night.

If other rookie players do this kind of thing, even if Tang Shuai has a good temper, he will definitely not tolerate it, and he must be banned from the team.

But Li Xun is different. Regardless of which team, players of Li Xun's level must be given some special treatment.

Besides, Tang Shuai also knew that Li Xun was usually very self-disciplined, but this time it was just an accident.

The most important thing is, is it possible to lose against the Kings?Even if Li Xun is not there, with the current lineup of the Pistons, the chances of losing to the Kings are very small.

Take a closer look at the Pistons' lineup, even if Li Xun is removed, it's actually no worse than the Rockets with a well-organized lineup in previous seasons.

If Li Xun is added, the Pistons' dominance of terror will be even more astonishing.

At noon the next day, everyone boarded the plane and headed to Saramento.

Li Xun, who was hungover, covered his forehead, feeling very uncomfortable.

"You guys can't drink less, don't spoil your body."

"Don't look at how young you are now, when you get older, you will know how important your health is."

"Be careful not to get addicted to alcohol, I have seen many players completely disabled by alcohol."

Yao Ming started nagging like an old mother again.

"Brother Yao, it's a pity that you don't become a coach after you retire."

"By the way, don't forget what happened tonight."

Li Xun couldn't help reminding Yao Ming.

When the matter came to an end, Yao Ming felt a bit backed down, after all, it had been a long time ago.

Now that he is suddenly attacking Little Mason, doesn't he seem a bit petty?

"I don't forget, but do you really want to beat them up during warm-up?"

"I'm afraid of making a big mess out of it."

Yao Ming said with a wry smile.

He felt that he was going to be ruined by Li Xun, and now he even started discussing the matter of beating people during the warm-up session.

I really didn't dare to think about it before.

"It's just during the warm-up session that we won't make a big mess out of it."

"Believe it or not, Stern will help us suppress this matter."

"Maybe not even a suspension."

Li Xun said confidently.

As long as it wasn't an incident that happened in public, Stern would definitely turn a blind eye to a giant like Li Xun.

Especially with Yao Ming involved.

The commercial value of Yao Ming and Li Xun is astonishing.

It is not too much to say that Yao Ming is the Jordan of Chinese basketball.

It's not that Yao Ming is stronger than Li Xun now, but that Yao Ming's contribution to the development of the Chinese basketball market is comparable to Jordan saving the entire NBA by himself.

Fans of later generations always like to compare this or that player with Jordan, which is actually ridiculous.

Without Jordan, the NBA would not have that much influence, and these people still make a lot of money.

Even Stern might have ordered the king not to let it get out.

Beating up Lagabel in the warm-up session is at least more cost-effective than fighting on the court and then being suspended for more than a dozen games.

"Okay, then I'll act accordingly."

"Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed to start."

"Also, I feel that if there is a real fight, I really don't necessarily have to be that guy's opponent."

Yao Ming smiled awkwardly.

Little Mason was also a representative of the Beast players back then, otherwise it would have been impossible to throw down the terrifying Yao Ming.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

"A little Mason, I can clean him up with a single slap."

Li Xun didn't care at all.

Regardless of whether you are a big Mason or a little Mason, if you dare not be honest tonight, everything will be cleaned up for you.

After getting off the plane, Li Xun received another call from Sun Yue.

Sun Yue has played against the Kings once this season, but he didn't face Lagabel for a long time in that game.

He is not familiar with the Rockets now, and he certainly won't fight Lagabel on the court.

So I can only pin my hope of revenge on Li Xun.

The Pistons, who were number one in the Eastern Conference, won't arouse the interest of fans at all, playing against the Kings of the Western Conference.

Because this is definitely a one-sided massacre.

But because of the grievances between Lagabel and Li Xun last season, and Li Xun's words that he would never let him go, this game directly became the focus of attention in the United States.

Not many people even paid attention to the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers tonight. They were all stretching their necks and waiting for the Pistons to play the Kings.

When the Pistons play the Kings, they may be playing games, or they may be playing players.

To be reasonable, compared to a mediocre game, fans definitely want to see this kind of grievance.

For example, at the beginning of the season, Kobe announced that he would fight James of the Cavaliers tonight. It is estimated that many fans will firmly remember this day.

As for the fight between Li Xun and Lagabel, it was already foretelling that there would be a fight.

In this way, it is of course impossible for fans to miss it.

Anyway, since the rise of Li Xun, the league's ratings have been soaring, and everyone in the circle is happy.

Even the king took advantage of it.

Originally, their ticket price was actually very low, but for tonight's game, their ticket price was directly sold to the level of the Lakers.

Li Xun is now wondering whether the Indian boss, Boss King, has thought of this.

That's why Lagabel and Stackhouse were deliberately signed into the team.

The purpose is to earn a wave of blood tonight.

The Indians really have a way of speculating.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the fans have not yet entered the stadium.

There were only a few fans who entered the stadium early.

Players from both sides began to warm up.

Li Xun led a group of giants onto the court, and after a while, the home team's Kings players appeared in front of Li Xun.

Just like he hasn't paid attention to the Clippers, Li Xun doesn't know much about the King's lineup.

I only heard that they introduced Lagabel and Stackhouse, and Mason Jr. is their player.

I took a look at the King's lineup, rookies Tyreke Evans, Kevin Martin, Nocioni, and Jason Thompson, an older lottery rookie who entered the league in the same year as Li Xun.

Thompson participated in the draft after graduating from college, so he is not young.

If he wasn't too old, he could have moved up with the 12th overall pick.

Later, after he couldn't get along in the NBA, he ran to the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and won the honor of the rebounding champion in the CBA.

It is true to say that the end of the NBA is the CBA. Many current players will play in the CBA in the future.
