The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 213, the battleships are assembled.

Thunder General Manager Office.

Sitting in front of Presti were Li Senlin, Brooks, and a scout.

"Haha, good news, Lee, the Hornets responded to me, and Chandler has something to play."

After Li Senlin heard these words, his heart was pounding, and he asked, "What price do they want?"

There is a principle in the transaction. When the two teams trade players, the salary of one player must not be higher than the salary of the other player by 125% + 10 US dollars.

There are not many players in the Thunder that can match Chandler's $1100 million salary. It must be a one-for-man combination. If you want to move the Thunder's core lineup, Li Senlin would rather give up.

"They want Russell + first round + Joe Smith."

The reason why Presti brought Li Senlin over was because he recognized Li Senlin's professionalism and was ready to listen to his opinion, but if what Li Senlin said was obviously not objective enough, Presti would not accept it.

"Russell must not be let go. He is an all-round fighter. His passion can drive everyone. Neither I nor KD can do this. In addition, you are also very clear about his potential. Forget it, can you change it? One?"

What Li Senlin said this time is more decisive than ever before, Westbrook leaving the Thunder?

This is not a joke. Even if Li Senlin leaves, KD leaves, Ibaka leaves, Westbrook will not leave.

One person, one city, a lone hero.

For the Thunder, the only person they can trust the most is Westbrook. Although Li Senlin and the Turtle will conflict with each other, Li Senlin has never considered forcing Westbrook to leave the Thunder.

The current NBA is still a duel between swordsmen, but the future NBA is like a political vortex, and only by joining the group camp can we win.

If Westbrook leaves the Thunder, it will be because of the lack of fighting spirit. Li Senlin doesn't want that kind of picture to appear in the NBA where he is fighting.

However, the Thunder’s management doesn’t know that the management often makes some surprises when it comes to transactions. Although they value Westbrook’s talent, they often deny themselves, because the existence of Li Senlin may have grown up under Westbrook. traded him.

In the eyes of the Thunder management, Li Senlin's core status is only lower than Durant's and higher than Westbrook's.

Li Senlin is also very thankful that he has won the attention with his strength. Today he is qualified to sit here and discuss the formation of the lineup with them. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. He can prevent this kind of thing from happening now.

Presti didn't expect Li Senlin's reaction to be so big, and after listening to Li Senlin's statement, he also expressed his approval.

Durant is the core of the Thunder, Li Senlin is the spiritual leader, and Westbrook is the rusher, all of which are indispensable.

Presti hesitated, then continued: "Then replace Russell with Jeff Green."

"Okay, Jeff's upper limit won't be very high."

"Well, then I'll ask."

Brooks didn't say much to the scouts, just watching the two discussing, Li Senlin had already finished what Brooks wanted to say.

………………

"Li, it's done. After the trading market opens, we can trade, but Tyson Chandler has a potential injury..."

After a while, Presti finished talking on the phone and came back to say.

"It's okay, as long as this guy can play a role in the playoffs, it's fine for us to keep him in the regular season."

Li Senlin said with certainty.

The unquestionable attitude when he speaks makes people unconsciously choose to go along with him.

Chandler was originally considered when the Thunder strengthened in February last season, but unfortunately he was injured at the time, and Li Senlin was in good condition, so the two sides did not reach a deal.

The price tag at the time was that the Hornets sent Tyson Chandler back for the signing rights of Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and 2008 second-round pick Dewan Harding.

So when Li Senlin talked about Chandler, Presti wanted to restart the deal.

But now that Chandler is healed from his injury and the price has increased... the Thunder can only get this A+ center by sending Jeff Green.

Although Chandler is healed from his injury now, there are still hidden dangers and he may fall at any time. Li Senlin thinks it is worth it. You must know that in the year when the Mavericks defeated the Big Three, Chandler was healthy and he guarded the basket. The defense is absolutely top-notch in the league.

"Okay! We can take a gamble."

"OK, then we'll wait for the draft."

…………

The team's team building policy has been set. If it goes well, the lineup formed by the Thunder can definitely challenge the Lakers' supremacy.

Li Senlin has been very busy this summer.

Pelinka found him more than a dozen endorsements, including cars, fashion clothes, watches, jewelry, mobile phones, computers, condoms...

Li Senlin's handsome appearance and aggressive performance on the court have won him the favor of many fashion brands.

What is more interesting is that Li Senlin signed a contract with the famous clothing company Express, becoming the first male spokesperson in the brand's 20-year history.

Li Senlin endorses a wide range of Express products, from jeans, sweatshirts, suits to accessories and more.

This endorsement surprised Dewey Er Shao very much.

Especially Westbrook, he is very unwilling.

The tortoise, who claims to be a fashionista, has not many fashion brands wanting to endorse him, especially Li Senlin's fashion concept was learned from him, which made him a little embarrassed...

Compared with Li Senlin, he is taller and goes to participate in fashion shows of various brands every day.

Durant endorsed hamburger fried chicken...

Li Senlin can see Durant gnawing on a big hamburger every day on American TV and on the outdoor screens on the streets of Thunder.

Most of Li Senlin's brands from Asia, or global brands who want to open up the market in Asia.

Finally one day, Li Senlin received a consultation call from Durant.

"Li, how did you find these endorsements? There have been fewer and fewer endorsements from me recently."

Durant humbly asked Li Senlin for advice on the other end of the phone. He wanted to make money.

The Thunder is a small market team after all, and Du Shaowei is not an All-Star player.

Li Senlin's off-court income made Westbrook and Durant envious. They thought they were no worse than Li Senlin, and they thought they should be able to receive as many endorsements as Li Senlin.

Their dreams are sexy, but their reality is skinny.

Du Shao had no choice but to put down his airs and ask Li Senlin for help and advice.

"They came to look for me by themselves. I'm not sure. Could it be the manager's problem..."

Li Senlin really didn't know the specific reasons for those endorsements. Those fashion brands were Pelinka they found by themselves.

Pelinka was also surprised at first that so many high-end brands came to him all at once.

After careful consideration, he decided that Li Senlin's image endorsements should all take the high-end route, so he let Li Senlin take over all of them.

Durant was not surprised to hear Li Senlin's words, and he was similar. He was very busy and busy training, and the process was not clear.

"Well, maybe I'm not good enough as an agent. Let me see if I want to fire him. Li, if you have many endorsements that don't suit your image positioning, you can introduce them to me."

"Well, okay, but KD, why don't you rush to fire the agent, you should look in the mirror first..."

"Forehead……"

Although Li Senlin doesn't know the specific reason, he knows roughly that Durant and Westbrook want to accept fashion endorsements?

This is a face-to-face world.

Those brand owners are not fools.

Li Senlin really wants Durant to know that God opened a window for him to play super talent in basketball, and he will definitely close another window for him...

Sometimes people really have to face reality.

Natural looks!unless you go to korea
But obviously Durant has not been able to accept the window that God has closed for him. He is still struggling, trying to prove that he also has an advantage in this regard.

As soon as Li Senlin hung up the phone, he sent the endorsement information about "Kang Shuaifu Instant Noodles" to Durant.

This "Shuai Kang" has been looking for him, but Li Senlin and Pelinka feel that it is not suitable for Li Senlin's current image, and they are ready to push it!

But now "buddy" needs it, so I give it to him.

Should be a good fit!

…………

During the fishing period, Li Senlin's business team was formally formed. Li Senlin hired Tom, a brand image consultant, and Jerry, an investment manager.

With Pelinka, the prototype of his business team was established.

Li Senlin talked about a dozen endorsements.

Li Senlin asked them to pay 30% to 50% of the advance payment, and probably collected more than 1500 million US dollars.

In addition to the 2000 million that Nike gave before, Li Senlin directly invested 115 million US dollars into Apple when the stock price was 3000 US dollars per share.
Then he asked Jerry to set up an investment company, and sent him directly back to China to find projects.

Li Senlin gave him a list of companies in his memory, and also prepared 500 million US dollars for him, and there will be more in the future.

Let him pay attention to see if he has the opportunity to invest in these companies in the early stage of the angel round or the first round. He only holds shares and does not participate in management. Li Senlin can endorse the shares...

So even though Li Senlin signed a lot of endorsements and shot a lot of commercials this summer, he is still a "poor man".

The most extravagant thing in Li Senlin's life is to rent a luxury apartment.

The car is still the Bumblebee.

Li Senlin's series of magical operations surprised Pelinka.

Pelinka constantly advised Li Senlin to pay attention to investment risks and not to buy stocks and investment companies.

We need to save some money for retirement, if we lose money, we will lose all the money to support our wife.

But Li Senlin persuaded him in turn, asking him to also buy Apple stocks to pick up money.
Pelinka has nothing to do with Li Senlin's stubbornness. He only hopes that his employer will not suffer too much. .

.......
On June 2009, 6, Li Senlin witnessed the Lakers win the championship at the Amway Arena.

This championship allowed Kobe to realize his dream. Kobe finally led the Los Angeles Lakers without O'Neal to win the championship. This is the 15th championship in the history of the Lakers.

Mature Branch and his teammates did not waste the chance of championship points. Mature Branch scored 30 points in the fifth game of the finals, Odom and Gasol both got double-doubles.

The Lakers relied on the attack wave in the second quarter to establish a lead. The Lakers beat the Orlando Magic 99-86 away.

The Lakers defeated the Magic 4-1 to win the championship. This is the second time the Lakers have won the championship trophy since 2002. This is also the 10th championship in Jackson's coaching career.

2009 6 Month 25 Day.

The 2009 NBA Draft was held in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.

The draft will be broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV station in the United States.

A total of 2009 people signed up for the 103 draft, including 74 players from the United States and 29 players from other countries and regions. In the end, 55 players felt that the draft market was not good after the trial training, and they withdrew from the draft on June 6.

Li Senlin pulled the fake crocodile Yun to appear at the gate of Madison Square Garden. Li Senlin and Presti came to participate in the draft on behalf of the Thunder. .

SM Company knew that Li Senlin was going to represent the Thunder in the draft and would appear in New York.

They felt that Crocodile Yun had a chance to appear on the global live broadcast stage, so they readily approved Crocodile Yun's one-week vacation application.
The draft will wait until the meeting begins.

"Shh!" "Shh!" "Hush!"

Li Senlin pulled the crocodile Yunyi and appeared at the entrance of the theater. He was greeted by bursts of "boo" from New York fans!

Crocodile Yun saw overwhelming boos for the first time, she didn't know what was going on, she was a little scared, and held Li Senlin tightly.

Today she is not dressed formally, black woolen casual clothes, dark denim miniskirt, and a pure white T-shirt.

He asked Li Senlin softly, "Why are they doing this?"

Li Senlin knew that the New York fans were taking revenge on him!

"I beat the New York Knicks last season. We played very fiercely. They couldn't afford to lose."

"Well, Oppa, you are awesome."

Crocodile Yun patted her chest, she thought the fans didn't welcome her to rub the camera.

The fans of the New York Knicks were very hurt last season. Li Senlin, who was first modeled as Kobe, completed his career debut!

After the game, Li Senlin imitated Reggie Miller and jumped on the technical stage to provoke fans, which made the New York media and fans even more angry. Everyone criticized Li Senlin, but Li Senlin was helpless. The two teams played too few times. This time After finally catching the opportunity, he booed frantically.

Then they were scored 61 points by the real Kobe Bryant.
The Thunder were very frustrated last season, and New York was really miserable last season.

Thunder has a future, but they don't. They can only hope that the little emperor will come to Apple City next summer and come out to turn the tide and save New York.

Li Senlin didn't get serious with the fans, and directly dragged the crocodile Yun into the theater.

There is an agreement in his endorsement that he can't conflict with the fans, and he can't deliberately fight on and off the court, otherwise he will be fined, and if the image is seriously affected, the cooperation will be cancelled.

In order to make money, Li Senlin must endure! ! !
You are all a group of monkeys calling, I can't hear you, I can't hear you!
The two found Lei Ting's private room and sat down.

Li Senlin saw Curry, Harden, Griffin and others in the small green house!

After Li Senlin sat down, he introduced the rules of the draft to the curious baby Crocodile Yun and some feelings about his participation in the draft conference last year.

Last year's Li Senlin is also here waiting for Stern's voice.

It was the most tense moment of his life.

Players are selected here, which means that the door of basketball dreams is opened.

Since the lottery ended, NBA commissioner David Stern has raised questions about the fairness of the lottery wherever he appears.

No, as soon as the draft started, he made his debut.

The fans at the scene gave him deafening boos, which were more enthusiastic than the boos Li Senlin encountered at the gate.

In the face of these boos, the old fritter Stern was extremely calm and calm. Stern was not unhappy because of this, but cooperated very well with the action of listening to the boos.

Soon.

David Stern received the first envelope from the staff.

Opened his mouth and said: "The first pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers chose Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma!"

"The second pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Hashem Thabeet from Tanzania!"

After hearing the result from David Stern, Li Senlin finally let go of Crocodile Yun's grip.

Harden of Little Green House also looked at Stern very nervously.

Li Senlin directly knocked him out in the Thunder's trial match. Harden is now not sure where he will be. It would be embarrassing if he is not in the top 6. .

Everything is going smooth.

"The third pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Ohlahoma City Thunder selected James Harden from Arizona State University!"

Li Senlin saw that the plots of the first few picks were the same as before the time travel, and he was not so nervous anymore. .

Everything is going according to plan!
Welcome to Thunder, Brother Deng!

"The No.2009 fifth pick in the first round of the 20 NBA Draft, the Ohlahoma City Thunder selected Taj Gibson from the University of Southern California"

After Stern's voice fell, the Bulls' private room was in a hurry.

The Thunder cut off the beard, and they hurriedly handed over the alternative plan to Stern.

The draft came to a successful conclusion, and the Thunder's first goal was achieved.

Although he missed Curry, Li Senlin didn't feel too frustrated or reconciled. Harden's Thunder is enough.

In addition, the management is unwilling to add another PG, and he has minimized the biggest impact of joining the Thunder.

If everything is done according to their own ideas, the Thunder will directly dominate the alliance.

In the future, I must buy a team that I can call the shots to play. . .

Harden and Gibson came to the Thunder box, and Presti will arrange the next thing.

"James, welcome to the Thunder!"

Li Senlin smiled and said to the young rookie Deng.

"Well, Lee, thank you!"

Although Harden's beard is thick, it has not yet reached the exaggerated level of later generations.

His dark face was a little red, and he was a little nervous in the face of Li Senlin's active communication.

Li Senlin is the core. Harden is a rookie after joining the Thunder, and his status varies widely.

"Thank me for what, I'm the one who blows you up."

"Haha, it was you who made me realize my many shortcomings. I want revenge after joining the team."

"Well, your challenge is always welcome."

After a while, Harden and Gibson were arranged by Presti to display the jerseys at the press conference.

With the lineup completed, Li Senlin is looking forward to the start of the new season!

The two of Dewey should have completed their transformation during this holiday.

Li Senlin has to work hard so that he can keep up with them!
Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
