Chapter 525: Inhumanity

Is this year’s Christmas Eve a little weird?

This kind of boss actually invited me to grab the ring?

Watching Li Shengli walk away, Ben was confused in the wind of Los Angeles, as if he was dreaming, but as Li Shengli said, he had no choice and did not need to choose. Is it true that as Li Shengli said, he only needs to wait a few days? I knew it, so I shook my head and boarded the bus back to the hotel.

But unlike his teammates.

Ben can only spend Christmas alone in a hotel this year, because with 11 brothers, sisters, and his mother, the air tickets from Alabama to Los Angeles are a lot of money, which is a bit overwhelming!

He could only call back to say happy holidays, and then... the call was dialed to his former guide, Old Oakley.

…

"Hey, Mr. Oakley, um, happy holidays. It's like this. We were playing a game in Los Angeles today, and Li came to me and said he wanted... to let me play for the Lakers."

"Li, looking for you? Are you sure it's Li himself? He's looking for you to go to the Lakers?" Oakley was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to confirm with Ben again.

"He's right. I was beaten to zero data by him for 6 minutes today, and I still can't admit my mistake."

"Damn, so... he discovered your potential?" Oakley suddenly became excited, and for the first time he and Li Shengli reached a consensus on training new people.

Although Ben was not selected and did not get the important prize, Oakley still believed that Ben could succeed, but it was just a matter of luck. But now...the luck came, and Li Shengli made a move to recruit someone, who was thousands of times better than him.

…

"Good, what a great opportunity, Ben!"

"But your relationship with him, combined with his previous style, and the fact that he hit me so hard today, I feel that he... is always bullying others."

"Ben, you're stupid!" Oakley was impressed by Ben's stubbornness and immediately asked: "What do you think is bullying? If you hit one out of ten, that's bullying. If you hit one out of a hundred, it's bullying." One person is also a bully, but what if 10,000 people beat one person, my child, then the one who rides on the horse is called...justice!"

"Clam?"

"Ben, listen to me, really! I regret that I didn't find a suitable opportunity for you in the league and buried your potential. Even if you can come to the Knicks, I can't give you more opportunities."

"But... but the one who is looking for you now is Li. Can you understand who Li is?"

"Ahem, although I have always looked down on him, his status in the Lakers is completely different from what I can compare with in the Knicks. And his network of contacts is so terrifying that you can't imagine how big it is. Believe it or not... he will run away one day. Whenever I defecate under a small tree, a large group of people with a much higher status than me will stand up and claim that they are doing it to fatten the small tree?"

"Your metaphor is really..."

"But that's the truth! Listen, as long as he says you have a chance, you definitely have it, do you understand?" Oakley paused, "I can't explain too much to you, but look at the bull, kid. Jordan can play whoever he wants. If you look at the Lakers, it's the same with Lee. The Lakers' situation will even be more serious than that of the Bulls, because all their hopes are on this person."

…

I never thought that Oakley, who has always been recognized by the entire league as Li Shengli's nemesis, would be able to say something like this today, but thinking about it carefully...it seems that his only hope lies in Li Shengli.

"Ben, don't talk yet!"

"I'll say it for the last time. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you more, but the energy of this bastard Li is beyond your imagination. Believe me, you can't even imagine the benefits of following him. And now too many people want to go to the Lakers. Yes, it’s all that bastard Li’s face.”

"Also, we have actually talked about it in private. No one can imagine how much this bastard Lee can protect his shortcomings. Look at Garnett from the Mavericks. Damn, he scolded half of the players in the league last season. He scolded him. He will be as vicious as he is, but just because he is next to Li, others are afraid that Li will take notice of him, because if he is beaten like Ryder, it will be too tragic."

"What you have to do now is to follow him... Whoever touches him, you will beat him to death. It will definitely not be a loss. That's what crazy Crotty does. He doesn't even have a damn talent, but Li still With him, no matter which team he goes to, he will have a chance. So... you have to be crazier than Crotty, not only off the court, but also on the court."

After saying a few words in a hurry, Oakley hung up the phone, and Ben suddenly discovered... This year's Christmas is really his lucky day. Although he was tortured miserably by Li Shengli, he also got Li Shengli's "favor" for good or bad. .

Li Shengli, Li Shengli!

If you can really give me a chance, you will be my big brother!

Great joy from heaven!

Ben's excitement and joy were beyond the understanding of ordinary people, so he excitedly told his family the good news.

The whole family was very happy when they heard that Ben was going to the Lakers and would be teammates with Li Shengli, because if Ben really started his career with the Lakers, he would have a bright future.

However...at this time, another family from Los Angeles had already felt the money.

…

"This is...oh my God, am I reading that right? Above this are...a few zeros on the horse? One hundred thousand dollars?"

"Tom, yours is also one hundred thousand?"

"Holy shit, how much does this cost?"

"Fuck, John, this...is this the Christmas gift that friend gave you?"

At this time, Crotty had gathered with his family to celebrate the festival. John was Crotty's name, and Li Shengli's red envelopes had been distributed by him to his parents and brothers, but...opened this so-called red envelope, and the whole family I'm all confused.

Is this Li Shengli?

It's simply inhumane, isn't it? !

"John, open it quickly and take a look. How much is in that envelope of yours?"

"Oh my God, there are probably more than us. John is Lee's best friend!"

"Okay, stop talking!" Crotty was also panicking now. He tremblingly took out his own red envelope, but he didn't open it. Crotty's parents also looked at each other with a look in their eyes. It shines with an incomprehensible, unbelievable light.

"John, don't tear it apart." Mother was gentler.

"That's right, shut up the rest of you!" The father was much stricter. He collected all the envelopes in his son's hands one by one and patted Crotty. "John, put them away. Tomorrow Just give these back to your friends, I guess the total should be close to one million, right? This is too much, I guess I will never be able to make so much money in my lifetime."

"Son, your father is right. Remember to tell your friends tomorrow that our family had a very happy Christmas. We were really happy. We are also very lucky that you have such a friend!"

"Happy? Not happy!"

"That's right, this is one million? Mom!"

"We can't send it back. This is a gift from John's friends. You can't do this!"

"Shut up, you bastards!" Crotty's father's face turned red with anger at his useless sons, but Crotty seemed to be a little gentler, "John, send it back before I can Regret. Friendship between friends should not be measured by money, but... Well, to be honest, with so much money, I am really afraid that I will not be able to stick to my principles. You should put it all away quickly. After all, your friend earns It’s not easy to have so much money, we…shouldn’t have reached out!”

"Ah~~~Dad, you can't do this!"

"Mom, please persuade Dad, this is one million!"

"No, I won't refund it. This is my money, someone gave it to me."

"Damn, I love this weird red envelope. It's so good. I hope I can get it every year!"

"Shut up, shut up, you guys, you are a bunch of worthless bastards!" Crotty's father was troubled so much that he could only turn around and wait for Crotty to give them the answer, "John, you..."

"Oh, that's it. I won't retreat, and he won't take it back." Crotty sighed.

"Are you sure? To be honest, we have nothing to repay him. Oh, by the way, he is not an American and has no relatives here. How about you invite him to celebrate the festival with us?"

"unnecessary!"

"Why?"

"Because today is Christmas, this person doesn't like birthdays, and he...is afraid of spending money!"
