Chapter 139 Please Have a Little Dream

Charlotte is located in the subtropics, with four distinct seasons, and now is the coldest time of the year. It's not as cold as Minnesota, but it can still be so cold in the morning that people can shrink their legs.

However, compared with the winter in Li Shengli’s hometown...

There are no high-end products such as air conditioners and heaters in my hometown. It is a bit exaggerated to say that heating is basically based on shaking, but it is almost the same. The better-off families can rely on the stove that burns briquettes to keep a fire, and the poorer ones even burn briquettes. I can't afford it. As for sleeping at night... put a hospital water bottle used for intravenous drip under the quilt, fill it with hot water and cover your feet. This is considered a standard for every household on winter nights.

At this time, Li Shengli wrapped his clothes tightly, lay on the passenger side and blew the warm air, sighing that it was good to have money... while Curry reluctantly pulled Li Shengli to the team in front of his coolie driver. I ran, feeling very frustrated.

This has become the norm.

Since Li Shengli came to the Hornets, he has been picked up and dropped off by Curry every day. Even though Li Shengli has an LM002 given by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it is still the same. Who told him that he has never even touched a tractor...

"Li, can you please stop staring at me if something happens in the future? This guy Boggs has no trouble. Why do you have to let me work as a coolie? You can get a driver's license yourself or hire a driver!" Curry smoked He sniffed, and although he complained, he still concentrated on driving.

"You deserve it! Ask Boggs, he didn't just leave me two naughty children at every turn. You tricked me into raising your son, and I let you be the driver. How fair, isn't it?" Li Shengli stretched his arms. He was a lazy man, and when he thought about how his family was turned upside down by two naughty children, and they caught Curry as a coolie, he felt no guilt at all, but felt a sense of satisfaction that a great revenge had been avenged.

"Okay, just cheat me! You won't be with the Hornets for long anyway. I really hope you get out of here soon!" Curry rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean, why can't I stay longer?" Li Shengli asked with some confusion.

"What else do you mean, you bastard, don't you care about our team's trends at all?" Curry glanced and focused on driving again, "Trade, bastard, do you know about the trade? Because Gil is injured, and the management wants to sell you or Johnson and replace him, do you understand?"

Curry is an old man of the Hornets, and his relationship with the team's management is even closer than that of the new head coach Alan, but Li Shengli is different. He has only met with the management a few times so far, and he can talk about it. It was all boring polite nonsense, and when he heard Curry talk about the transaction, he frowned immediately.

trade?

How can it be?

Currently in the Hornets, except for Johnson who is a little sick, no matter how the team's record is, he is still very happy.

In fact, after the draft and before joining the Hornets, he felt a little uncomfortable facing an unfamiliar environment. But in the following time... Curry, Bogues, and Gilgeous got along very happily with him, and even Even the head coach Alan also takes good care of him, which makes him find the sense of belonging he had when he played in the NCAA East Carolina. This sense of belonging does not belong to the Hornets, but to the friendship between him and his teammates.

But now...the news he heard from Curry was really not very happy.

"To be honest, no matter if you are traded, you will definitely be able to get along with other teams with your ability. But if Johnson is traded, that would be even better. We can continue to play together for several more seasons!" Curry thought. He said with both regret and joy.

"How is that possible?" Li Shengli felt a little cold, tightly wrapped his clothes tightly again, and said angrily: "My current data cannot be compared to Johnson. Unless the management is blind, I will definitely not be traded!"

"It sounds like you don't want to leave yet?" Curry raised his voice.

"I definitely don't want to leave. You've fought well, why should you let me go?!" Li Shengli felt the coldness on his face. He had money and friends, and his beautiful life had just begun. Why should it come to an abrupt end? end?

"Fart, why are you staying in the Hornets? Do you want to eat dirt with us? I promise...if you stay in the Hornets, you will never win a championship in your life." Curry said with a dark face: "I beg you , Can you have a little dream? You are different from us. To be honest, I really hope you get out of here early and go to another team to become a champion. I get upset when I see you!"

"Go, go, go, drive your car well!" Li Shengli was a little irritated, but he didn't want to show it on his face. As for the current messy and clueless things, he felt that he should communicate with Alan.

After saying that, Li Shengli closed his eyes and stopped talking, thinking about Curry, Bogues, Gil and Alan. He felt that the winter in Charlotte was not that cold, and Curry went straight to the team's training ground at full speed. And go.

…

It was a cold early morning. Except for the staff at the training ground, the other players were probably still sleeping. However, Li Shengli and Curry were undoubtedly the first to arrive every day.

Now Ma Qiangdong received Thompson's recall order. Li Shengli was the only one in the rented house. It was deserted and lonely. He couldn't just stare at him when he got up early in the morning, so he was more willing to devote all his time to it. When it comes to training, find something to do for yourself to enrich your boring and lonely life.

"Curry, you're here, why don't you practice for a while first?"

"Go away, who is as boring as you? I want to sleep, don't disturb me!"

After getting frustrated, Li Shengli was helpless. He put on training clothes and warmed up for a while, while Curry huddled next to him, taking a nap while cursing the unscrupulous Li Shengli in his heart.

…

It has to be said that Li Shengli is currently training quite hard. Just as Thompson taught him, for a player, talent is the basis for determining the lower limit, and hard work is the way to raise the upper limit. He is also convinced of this.

He has talent, and even every player in the NBA has it, but if he wants to stand out from the crowd and get more salary than others, he must train harder and maintain good physical condition.

After all, training is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Otherwise, the NBA would not have preseason games after the offseason, just to help players recover.

As for training being hard?

To be honest, Li Shengli didn't feel that training was not hard at all compared to when he was working at a construction site with an hourly salary of US$3 and thinking about whether he could have enough to eat every day.

Although what he eats every day is nutritious meals prepared by nutritionists that are tasteless and expensive, but they are delicious and full. Li Shengli, a veteran and poor man, prefers the latter, and in the words of his biological father... ...No matter how hard you work when you are young, you will choose your own path after all. If you don’t work in the morning, the poisonous sun at noon will not beep at you.
