Chapter 494 The Eve of the Greenville Summit
After the draft, the focus of the entire league was on Sha Sheng, and what was even more coincidental was that the Lakers and Celtics officially announced the results of their offseason pursuits on the same day. Super centers and super contracts all detonated the nation in an instant. According to public opinion, after Jordan's incredible contract, the Sharks and Victors duo once again joined forces to bombard the sports headlines these days, and as the Greenville Summit progresses, the popularity continues to rise.
"West and Johnson are back!" Will the Lakers era begin? The God of Victory is coming to Los Angeles! 》
"Auerbach is back!" Boston, your emperor is back, and the Green Shark Emperor is about to take his place! 》
"A Cent?" The Shark King's contract is one cent higher than the Victory God of War, a contemporary replica of the battle between Russell and Chamberlain. 》
"Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks may become the biggest losers of the offseason!" 》
"The selection of the league's top 50 superstars has begun, but this happened before the final results?" 》
"The good news for the 96-level rookie, the headquarters of the God of Victory actually does this..."
The Greenville Daily Post stated that this city may become the hottest location in the NBA in the near future. 》
"Victory God of War Base Camp, the largest unofficial gathering." A few days ago, the Lakers have arrived in advance and arranged the venue, and the Celtics are also preparing to log in. All the top 50 superstars may be here! 》
…
During this period of time, there was really too much news from all aspects, which made fans eat all at once. Although the new season of 1996-97 started in early November, the news that spanned 50 years of the league in October The unofficial and peak gathering is still too eye-catching, and the summit has already been planned in mid-September, with different reactions from all parties.
Let’s talk about the two camps of yellow and green first.
The Lakers promoted Li Shengli to the front of the big screen because Li Shengli is the biggest player currently playing for the Lakers and has inherited the Lakers' center legacy. In turn... Auerbach, the old emperor of the Celtics, has always been unwilling to be followed by others and has dominated the league. Over the years, he has accumulated a terrifying amount of connections. He can sweep up the league at the top and penetrate the NCAA at the bottom. He can be said to have disciples all over the place, both at the top and bottom, so O'Neal enjoys a lot of resources.
Want to hit the top 50?
To be honest, Li Shengli and O'Neal are actually the least qualified, but I have to say that Thompson's operation was just right, and the yellow and green camps were willing to put more effort into it, so the current situation was created and Shark won. The two make up the two most beautiful guys this offseason.
…
After talking about the yellow and green, we are left with the two biggest losers of the offseason.
First it was Orlando. O'Neal asked the Magic for a 110 million contract, and was criticized by Orlando fans as a Muggle. But when he turned to the Celtics, they offered him 120 million. This was really a slap in the face of the Magic. , but the Magic front office felt it was not a loss, because all their hopes were placed on Hardaway, O'Neal's former younger brother, and Hardaway was able to take over and be promoted to the head of the Magic.
Then there is the Dallas Mavericks.
If you hesitate, you will lose. Mavericks general manager Toby’s fault was that Li Shengli’s contract was delayed for too long, but the subsequent tricks were really amazing. With head coach Gordon, and five different sizes Li Shengli was willing to let the negotiations break down before returning to Dallas, but he kept silent about this matter.
It would be wrong to mention it. Toby is a person involved and is not suitable to talk about this matter.
Not to mention, Tobey also has a way. On the eve of the Lakers' official announcement of signing Li Shengli, fans in Dallas received the news... The former Dallas God of War turned to the wealthy for a big contract and betrayed his old club.
As a result, public opinion continued to change direction.
The die-hard Mavericks fans are scolding Li Shengli. They are in a similar situation to O'Neal who left Orlando. But to be honest, the foundation of the Lakers and Celtics is still there. The die-hard fans are superior in quality and quantity, and Huang The green army immediately gathered together and opened fire. The firepower was so fierce that it was outrageous, and the war of words gave them an overwhelming advantage.
Los Angeles...the God of War guarantees my victory with words!
Boston...Saliva protect me, the Green Army Shark King!
In fact, the quarrels between fans will never affect the outcome of anything. After this scene, Orlando was happy, and Toby in Dallas became the victim who endured the humiliation, but... Kigaku knew the truth. General Kesi vomited and found a time and a bar to gather together.
…
"Damn, this Toby is really disgusting." Kidd was so angry that he was fuming, "You all tell me, Li has left, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Keep playing." Curry ordered a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"I only signed for one year, I can leave, go to the Lakers!" As soon as Crotty spoke, Kidd, Curry, and Garnett all had headaches.
"Damn, you want to be a traitor?" Garnett's face turned dark. "Li is gone, Crotty, and if you are not here, we will have no one here to help fight in the future."
"Okay Kevin, stop joking." Kidd turned to Curry and asked, "Brother, can we go to Greenville? I heard that this time is very big. The recent news has simply put Lee and Shah. The hype is booming, these two have become more popular than Jordan recently."
"Go, why not go. Toby is Toby, but we and Li are brothers. There is no reason not to go and support him."
"Are you sure you want to support us? Damn it, the four of us don't seem to be very qualified yet. You don't want to think about all the people who went there. I guess if you look up, you will see the management of each company. You can just step on it. Step out a few hall of fame..."
"What's there to think about? You forgot whose territory it is over there."
"It's Li's base camp. Don't we go there often?"
"Isn't that the end?" Curry raised his head fiercely, "Damn, if we can't bully those old guys, how can we bully this year's rookies? Listen to me, when the time comes... be arrogant!"
"Be more arrogant? Brother, you have to understand that this party requires invitations. With the current popularity, damn, it will be more exposed than the All-Star Game. You don't know, there are people holding them now The anonymous invitations are up for auction, and everyone wants to show their face, so it won’t be our turn to be arrogant at that time.”
"No way, is it so big?"
"What do you think? I heard that the league officials were involved behind the scenes. It happened to be the 50th anniversary of the league. Anyway, it was all about building momentum for the league. Stern is not an idiot, so... on Lee's territory , it is destined to be crowded and exploded by then.”
Kidd didn't know where the news came from. Anyway, Garnett and Crotty were stunned for a while, while Curry seemed a little excited, "Damn, that's even more important. But it seems like Lee You didn’t give us an invitation, did you?”
"We want an invitation from Mao. Li said we can get in if we give our names." Kidd rolled his eyes at Curry.
"Are you so arrogant? No, what if someone pretends to be us and gets in early?" Curry was surprised.
"Just kidding, you and I are so handsome, who can pretend to be us?" Kidd pointed to his handsome face, and Curry was convinced.
"It makes sense. I think so too. I have to say that you, Kidd, are very discerning. But... where are Crotty and Kevin?" Curry asked.
"Hey, Crotty? Look at how cruel he is. There are few in the league who can compare with him. As for Kevin...Kevin...well, that's settled."
"Holy crap, why did you decide it right here?" Garnett was dumbfounded and thought to himself...Kidd, please praise me, praise me, but Kidd didn't pay attention to him, Curry and K. Rody didn't say anything either.
Kevin, Kevin!
You are already a mature Garnett!
After one season, you will scold all three to four hundred active players in the league!
With your name, no one is willing to impersonate it, okay? Are you really afraid of being beaten if you let people in?
