After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 106 Two Phone Calls
"Why, whose call is it?" Li Chengming asked after his father finished answering the phone.

Father Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Lan Xie's call..."

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment before he realized it, then he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why, now you know that you are here to ask for help?"

Seeing his sudden embarrassment, Father Li laughed a little and said, "It's not that they have given in, but now they agree to let you join the national team, and we need a little cooperation from our side."

With what?
To put it bluntly, it was just to save face. At the beginning, he ignored Li Chengming's side, but now Li Chengming's performance is so good, not only is it too easy, even Dayao's side is temporarily suppressed by him.

Because of Li Chengming's performance, fans of the domestic Magic team can even briefly compete with fans of Texas Xiaoqiang on game days.

Li Chengming is still just a rookie, but how could Dayao perform so well in his first year?

What's more, Li Chengming is only 19 years old now, and he still has half a year to officially cross the 20th mark. At that time, Da Yao's entry into the league was already a finished product, but he just needed to adapt to the NBA. In fact, there is not much room for growth.

That is to say, Li Chengming may still grow in the next two years, and it is not just talking about surpassing Dayao by then.

In this case, facing a player who may become the number one star in the country, if they don't say anything, they will really be scolded to death.

If it's just the opinion of the fans, it's really not worth mentioning, but the problem is that this matter must have been heard by Datian.

Li Chengming is not in Xibee, but in the NBA, which they can't control, and he doesn't have much explicit or covert connection with the blue shoes, so they can't control him.

In this case, the more famous Li Chengming is, the more glaring the fact that he is not a member of the national team.

Of course, from another point of view, if Li Chengming can really be recruited into the national team, when the game is played well, the results can be counted as their political achievements, which is a good thing for them, isn't it?

However, Li Chengming is not Dayao.

First of all, he is not like Big Zhi and Dayao. He was in the "system" from the very beginning, and he was cultivated by them, so it seems that now Yao is making a lot of money in the NBA. In addition to his personal salary, some business They also get a share of the contract.

And it was like when Da Zhi went to the NBA privately without his consent, he didn't go back in time, and he was banned directly as a result.

This kind of situation is impossible for Li Chengming. Li Chengming is completely out of control, and this is naturally unbearable for some people.

What they want is obedient players, not necessarily the strongest players.

Li Chengming is not coerced and has no interests to divide. Of course, they don't want Li Chengming to easily divide the "cake" of the national team.

If it was in normal times, maybe they would really bite the bullet and continue to carry on like this. Anyway, it is not the fans who can decide the black hat.

But this is not the Olympic Games in 08. As the Olympic men's basketball competition that even the basketball hegemony of the United States pays attention to, the blue shoes also want to achieve a good result.

At this time, if we can have more strength like Li Chengming, we can also have more protection.

Otherwise, something went wrong, and the fans blamed them for not recruiting Li Chengming. When Li Chengming became famous, they would have to be dumb and eat coptis.

"Then do I agree or disagree?"

In fact, there is nothing to consider. If you have this opportunity, you must agree.

If Li Chengming has not stated his intention to join the national team, it will become a big problem.

Father Li sighed, and said, "For the time being, we just need to make a statement and go out. Someone over there will contact us later, and we have to talk to them about some things first."

For example, restrictions on participating in national team competitions.

Except for important competitions like the Olympics and the World Championships, during the period before and after NBA games, Li's father would definitely not want Li Chengming to go back to participate in the competition.

After all, with Li Chengming's weight, participating in too many competitions consumed him too much. Li's father even suspected that the reason why he caught a cold inexplicably before was that the root cause was that the continuous competition was too exhausting, which overloaded his body and made him immune. The system is about to go on strike.

In addition to the Olympics and World Championships, if you insist on pulling Li Chengming back in some Asian-level competitions, wouldn't that be insulting him?
Father Li also felt sorry for his son. After all, even if he has lost 30 catties now, he is still a "big fat boy" at [-]. Not to mention the competition, he can't stand running back and forth.

Li Chengming frowned, but hesitantly said, "Will they agree?"

In fact, he also suddenly considered a problem. Although his "weight loss system" is the mission of the NBA, but it is also basketball. Will there be missions in international competitions?
Now because of my own strength, the tasks in the NBA are getting more and more difficult, and the rewards are getting harder and harder to get. Maybe opening up another track is a good choice?

What's more, in this way, after the NBA game is over, he can still maintain his state during the offseason, so as not to become a "pork belly".

If this is the case, then he really hopes that the national team will play more games.

Of course, even if there is no task, he is very happy to join the national team and play for the country to win glory.

Although many domestic fans say that Dayao's performance in the NBA was affected by the national team's competition, if Dayao really gave up the national team's competition to protect himself, then there must be absolutely indispensable scolding.

Even the current Dayao is indispensable in China, and probably only players with Dayao's character and Jordan's strength can satisfy them.

Father Li smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a negotiation, we now take the initiative."

He felt that his request was also very reasonable, not to mention that although the other party still maintained a certain degree of reserve, since they had already taken the initiative, it meant that many conditions were negotiable.

What's more, now, apart from Dayao, no one is indispensable to the national team.

Just as I was thinking, the phone rang again.

Both father and son were stunned for a moment, then Father Li went over to answer the phone, and soon looked at Li Chengming again.

Li Chengming realized something, and immediately asked, "Whose phone is it?"

"From Houston, what do you say?"

Li Chengming was taken aback, and of course he immediately thought of someone, "Dayao?"

Father Li had already handed over the phone, but after Li Chengming took it, he still hesitated before asking, "How are you?"

Dayao never took the initiative to contact him before, in fact, after discussing with his father, he felt that it was waiting for them to contact him.

After all, Dayao is now a big boss of the national team, and a "self-employed" like him logically needs to "worship the dock".

But in the end, they decided to deal with it coldly. Before the attitude of the blue shoes was still undecided, they continued to maintain such a nonchalant attitude, and it was enough to keep in touch with the UAE.

I believe that Dayao will not miss him because of this incident...

However, Dayao did not directly talk about this topic on the phone at this time. Instead, he talked about his experience of integrating into the NBA and American society from the perspective of a senior and someone who has experienced it.

In fact, these words could have been said before, and should have been said at that time, but the meaning of saying these things is different now, it is more like a statement, a kind of recognition of Li Chengming.

Obviously, not only he was waiting for Lan Xie's statement, but also Dayao's side.

In particular, as the current benchmark figure of the national team, he still has to try to maintain the same "official" attitude as possible, and he can't just give Li Chengming or the outside world any signals.

This is not necessarily what he thinks in his heart. As a single person, Dayao probably wishes for a few more fellow villagers, so that he can speak in normal games.

Of course, this is obviously impossible.

Li Chengming also understands why Dayao was able to gain a foothold in the NBA in the more difficult environment at the beginning.

First of all, in terms of being a human being, I don't know how much better than him and Ah Lian.

Li Chengming thinks that he has a lot of spirit as a young man, but in terms of dealing with people, without his father always reminding him, he may really make some small mistakes now.

The result of this conversation was naturally very pleasant. Dayao obviously got the news from the Blue Shoes, so he took the initiative to show his favor to Li Chengming at this time, which can be regarded as making up for the part of the face that the Blue Shoes did not want to let go.

In addition, it also made Li Chengming feel sincere.

Li Chengming finally found out that Dayao didn't take the initiative to contact him at the beginning, and there were also factors related to the blue shoes.

After all, as the leader of the national team, if he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Li Chengming at that time, it would not mean slapping Blue Shoes in the face.

Of course, he still wanted to contact Li Chengming through Ah Lian, but unfortunately, the boy didn't know if he didn't understand the meaning, and the message was not in place, and the result has been delayed until now.

Now that Blue Shoes has finally leaked the word, Dayao naturally has no scruples, and can communicate with juniors like Li Chengming normally, and his initiative is to help Blue Shoes find a way to go down.

Li Chengming didn't understand these things related to politics, but Li's father could tell. When he hung up the phone to discuss with him, after hearing his explanation, Li Chengming could only scratch his head and said, "If you say it like this, why does Dayao It feels the same to them."

Father Li shook his head and said, "He just has more contact with them and knows the rules of those people."

"Well, then will he also work in it in the future, such as being a leader or something?"

Father Li said with a smile: "That's a good thing, it may be a good thing, at least it's an expert guiding an expert. Of course, it's not sure, what didn't happen..."

Although it has been negotiated, it is still very early before the Olympic Games, even the Olympic training camp.

Moreover, Li Chengming still has games to play. If he can even reach the finals this season, he will not be able to join the national team until July next year.

Of course, if that is the case, then he may really be able to become the "No. 1" of the national team in a certain sense. After all, although there was a Mongolian man who won the championship with the Spurs before, the domestic players who participated in the finals as the main force did not. hasn't shown up yet.

Domestic fans certainly hope that Dayao can win the championship, but judging from the current situation in Houston, I am afraid it is still not optimistic.

"By the way, what did he tell you just now?"

"He said," Li Chengming said with a strange face, "Welcome to the NBA..."

　The last sentence is a well-known trash talk. It is put here as a joke, and it also indicates that Li Chengming will be taught a "lesson" in the next game.
