The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 11, Contract Signing
Since the two bosses are both sullen, Li Senlin can only take the initiative.

Li Senlin picked up a ball from the basketball moving box next to him, and said to Westbrook who was practicing his steps: "Russell, I can't beat you one-on-one, but let's compete for three points, how about it?", Li Senlin The current long-range shooting ability is not covered, it is completely appropriate to abuse Westbrook.

Westbrook looked at Li Senlin's grinning appearance, and also remembered the scene where he hit consecutive three-pointers in the game, and suddenly became competitive.

Westbrook's character is not to admit defeat. Facing opponents, if you refuse to accept, you will be convinced, and you will be convinced if you refuse. He has never admitted that he is cowardly.

So no matter how strong you are, Westbrook will never back down. Although Westbrook knows that he is not good at three-pointers and his shooting rate is not stable, as long as he hears that he can compete with Li Senlin, he still can't help but jump into this game. pit.

Sure enough, Westbrook is Westbrook, one-sided...

"How do you compare?" Westbrook also took the ball and asked from outside the three-point line.

"Shoot 10 three-pointers and see who makes the most shots." Li Senlin said calmly.

"Okay," Westbrook replied.

The two did not agree on a bet or anything, this can only be regarded as a "friendly" exchange between the two parties.

Li Senlin held the ball very calmly, feeling like there was a long-range shooting bonus in the game. Now the long-range shooting attribute has 75 points, and the shooting percentage of open shots will be around [-]%.

Standing outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side, he took two shots and found a sense of finding the ball.

It feels almost, uh,

Stand still, lean back and pull up, palms support the ball

The wrist is strong, the shooting posture is very standard, the touch is soft, and the arc is very high.

After Li Senlin threw the ball, he felt very good. .

"Frame", strike the iron with a sound.

Well, well, I haven't gotten used to it yet.

Westbrook didn't speak, picked up the ball, threw it to Li Senlin, and came again.

This time there is no miss, the same position, the same posture, shot, the ball scored!
As soon as I got the feel, I made a series of 3 in a row, changed positions and continued. Soon, 10 three-pointers were shot. In general, the feel was good, 10 of 8 shots.

Westbrook wiped the sweat from his brow, this rookie is too fierce.

Although the basic pitchers hit more than [-]% of their shots during training, they were pitchers, and he couldn't do it. Now he believed what Li Senlin said just now that he was a pitcher.

So, how did he get those super one-on-one abilities against the Lakers?

Westbrook tried to shoot, and he made 10 of 5 shots, which felt average.

"Well, I believe you're the pitcher."

"Haha, pass the ball to me more from now on, and give you more assists."

"If you don't make the shot, I'll kick your ass hard."

"If you don't make the open spot, it's mine. If you don't make the pass in the open spot, it's yours."

"Well, Li, I think Coach Brooks values ​​you very much, and you should be in the rotation next."

"It depends on the coach's arrangement."

"Haha, as long as you can play like the Lakers every game, then there is no problem." Westbrook said.

"Russell, how is this possible? If I can do this every game, I will be the No. [-] pick in this year's draft."

Li Senlin replied, now that he doesn't have a Harden card, it's better not to let them expect too much.

After all, Li Senlin is just a substitute among the substitutes. It can be said that he is the 14th or 15th person. Although he is ready to sign a contract, if he does not play well in the future, he still has the risk of being cut. Li Senlin does not want to be in the NBA. passerby.

At this time, Li Senlin looked at Durant who was alone in training, thought for a while, and shouted at him, "KD, KD, come here." Both of them are sullen characters, so I should take the initiative to communicate with them Slightly.

Durant looked at the two of them and hesitated for a moment, but he still came over. Now Durant is still relatively shy when dealing with people, a bit introverted.After all, he is not too old, and he is still the innocent boy who has fantasies about the black widow. .

"KD, we're playing three-pointers, do you want to come? Let's see how your shooting is doing?"

Li Senlin said that he would like to see what level Durant has reached now.

"OK." Durant did not refuse, and now he is still a good man.

Looking at Durant who is familiarizing himself with the ball, Li Senlin thought, this KD doesn't know what level he is now.

"System, can I check other people's evaluations and attributes?"

"Evaluation is fine, attributes are not. You just need to tell me who you need to investigate, and I will find out the results for you." The system cooperated very well this time, and took the initiative to tell Li Senlin.

"Forehead!"

Li Senlin didn't expect the system to cooperate so well this time, and was a little surprised.

"Investigate Durant." No matter what, Li Senlin didn't worry about the attitude of the system anymore.

"S-Class"

"I wipe, it's so high."

"Kevin Durant, as the No. [-] pick in the NBA, has a high starting point. When he entered the NBA, his comprehensive evaluation has reached the A+ level. After the tempering of the last season, he gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA and was promoted to the S level."

"This shit, I'm only C, there really is a gap in talent." Li Senlin really envied Durant's talent.

Durant has also started to shoot three-pointers, "shua", "shua", "shua", 3 in a row, and the 4th missed.

Changing positions, "唰", "唰" and "唰." Another three hits in a row.

In a different position, he missed a shot, and then hit 3 consecutive hits.A total of 10 of 8 shots.

"KD, you are really good, not worse than Lee, Lee told me he is a shooter." Westbrook praised.

Li Senlin was also taken aback. Kevin Durant's touch is really not a cover. I didn't feel much watching TV before. It was really shocking to be on the training ground. You know, Li Senlin who just upgraded his long-range shot He also made 10 of 8 shots just now.

"Thank you, Lee, your scoring ability is also good. I can't score 25 points in a single quarter against the Lakers." Durant said modestly.

It's over, now the two big shots think that Li Senlin's scoring ability is very strong.

Li Senlin had to vaccinate them first, lest they expect too much of him then.

"Haha, KD, I'm a shooter, and I'm better at running out of space and shooting."

Li Senlin said a little embarrassedly, after all, he did not show the potential of a shooter at all in the previous 20 days.

But what can I do, Li Senlin wants to say, what can I do, I am also very desperate.

Without the Harden card, according to the previous style of play, it is estimated that I will be waived again. If I can play that kind of game every day, I still have to worry about losing my job?

"Li, you really know how to joke."

Obviously, Durant didn't believe that Li Senlin was a shooter. The singles ability that Li Senlin showed that day was definitely not worse than his own.

The side effects of using Dengoka came out, and it was difficult for Li Senlin to explain to others the reason for his sudden weakening.

Later, I have to communicate with the coach and change the position. Otherwise, when the coach arranges singles tactics for him, the scene will be too beautiful.

The three competed again.This time Westbrook is still at the bottom, and Durant is tied with Li Senlin again.

Then Durant went back to his shooting drills, and Westbrook continued to work on his footwork.

"System, what exclusive skills does Durant have?"

"This can't be detected, it needs to be known when Durant uses his exclusive skills."

"They also use skills?"

"They don't have skills. Exclusive skills are just the system's summary of when they are in a certain state."

The system really became patient. Li Senlin asked several questions, but the system did not reveal a trace of impatience.

"Then check Westbrook's current level." Westbrook should not be much better than himself now, Li Senlin thought.

"A+, promote to S rank at any time." The system replied coldly.

"I wipe."

Li Senlin decided to check the ratings of these future MVP-level figures less in the future, it's too fucking hurtful.

Even the substitute Westbrook is already so vigorous. Li Senlin is older than both of them, but his level is N levels lower. Li Senlin thinks that he should start from the bottom honestly and stop looking around randomly. .

At this time, Thunder players and staff came over one after another.

"Li, come to my office."

Thunder general manager Sam Presti called out to Li Senlin with a smile.

Hearing this voice, Li Senlin's heart was touched, and finally, the contract was about to be signed.

Sam Presti arrived in Seattle in the summer of 2007, took the position of general manager of the Supersonics, and then started his own team reform:
The team's core players Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis were sent away, and the cornerstone of the future team-Kevin Durant was picked in the draft.

The role of the general manager for the team is very critical. For example, look at the negative side. The current general manager of the league team Isiah Thomas, his inaction in the "Big Apple City" has made New York use the championship every year. Level lineup salary to grab the No. [-] pick.

On the positive side, Spurs RC-Barford has brought 10 championships to the team in the past 4 years, 3 of which were won during his tenure as general manager.

The general manager of the Thunder, Presti, is Buford's disciple. In June 2007, he took office and won the trust of Thunder owner Clay Bennett, becoming the 6th general manager in team history. .

At this time, his voice was undoubtedly the voice of nature to Li Senlin, more magnetic than the voice of any sexy girl.

Because Li Senlin does not have an agent, his player contracts need to be negotiated with him.
