Chapter 82

The two came to Yao restaurant and met Li Jinshen, deputy director of the basketball management center, and Adijiang, a member of the national team coaching staff. After Dayao introduced the two, they exchanged pleasantries.

"Sure enough, such long arms and such big hands!" Adijiang said with bright eyes.

"Director Li, Coach Adijiang, let's talk straight." Li Ba didn't want to waste time, and he didn't dislike playing for the country.

"Yes, let's talk about it." Li Jinshen and Adijiang looked at each other and nodded. The former said, "That's right, Li Ba, you must have guessed the reason for our visit, right?"

After seeing Li Ba nodding, he went on to say: "You should know something about the major events of last year, and you may have some ideas...but don't have any worries. The country is opening up, and some ideas are changing, including Our sports world. Specifically..."

An hour later, Li Ba left Yao's restaurant. He didn't have dinner here because he had an appointment with Gao Yuanyuan and needed to meet his manager.

It has been discussed just now that he joins the national team and is obliged to participate in the national team's important international competitions after the season.

Specifically, it is the World Championships and the Olympic Games.

In terms of Asian competitions, such as the Asian Championships that Dayao just participated in, and the champion directly has the qualifications for the Olympic Games, he also needs to participate.

But if there is an injury, you can communicate with the national team, and you cannot force him to participate.

In terms of income, the Basketball Association will not interfere.

This condition was much better than that of Dayao, and he was so envious that he kept silent.

After Li Ba left, Dayao and Li Ah started chatting and eating dinner.

"I think Li Ba has a bad temper, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to communicate with him. I didn't expect it at all." Adijiang sighed after eating a few mouthfuls.

"Yeah. Come, have a drink and celebrate." Li Jinshen nodded repeatedly and raised his glass.

"Li Ba's situation is different from Dazhi's. The Dazhi has not stood firm. Judging by the situation, Li Ba is going to fight for the boss."

Dayao shook his head and sighed.

"What, he wants to be the leader of the Suns?" Adijiang said in surprise.

Li Jinshen was also very surprised, stopped drinking and looked at Dayao.

"No, no, that's what I said." Dayao quickly explained.

"That's good, that's good. He just entered the NBA, so he must not do this, he can't do it!" Adi Jiang said with a sigh of relief.

"Does every NBA team have a boss?" Li Jinshen asked.

"Well, how should I put it, I have been here for a year, and according to my observations, the competition is fierce. If it is not handled well, it will cause internal strife in the team, just like the current Lakers." Dayao said.

"Is there any benefit?" Li Jinshen asked.

"Having the right to speak and the ball, signing a big contract, generally speaking, can directly bring huge benefits." Dayao laughed.

That night, at the NBA headquarters on Fifth Avenue in New York, a meeting hosted by Stern and attended by the referee committee was held overnight.

"I want to see the most fair game. I don't want that rookie to be unfairly punished and whistled. This will make our NBA related to racial discrimination. I don't want to hear him say' I can't breathe in the NBA, do you understand?"

Stern's words are firm and unquestionable.

At 7 pm on the 14th, Li Ba took the team to the Toyota Center. The game started at 8:30, and there were already many people outside the arena.

Dayao waited for Li Ba in the corridor, said hello to the others, and nodded to Stoudemire before being pulled aside by Li Ba.

"Where's the ticket?" Li Ba asked.

"What's the rush?" Dayao handed over a ticket and asked again, "Friend?"

"First row?" Li Ba took the ticket and looked at it.

"It's right next to our bench, with my parents." Dayao said.

Nodding his head, Li Ba said: "This is my girlfriend, explain it clearly to your parents, don't get me wrong."

"Virtue! Do you think I don't have a girlfriend?" Dayao said disdainfully.

"hey-hey!"

At this time, Li Ba's cell phone rang, and it was Gao Yuanyuan calling.

"I'm coming."

Li Ba answered the phone and dragged Dayao to the entrance of the venue.

"You boy, it's no wonder you're so nervous, you're pretty and temperamental." After seeing Gao Yuanyuan, Dayao joked.

"hey-hey……"

Li Ba introduced each other, chatted for a few words, and then separated.

"Friends from the audience, this is the NBA live broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel. I am the host Yu Jia, and this is Teacher Zhang Lili."

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhang Lili, and I'm going to explain this game for you now. This game is a game that everyone is very concerned about. The Mosaic team belonging to the Chinese player Dayao will play against the Suns team belonging to Li Ba at home."

At 8 o'clock, after the substitute players came on the field, CCTV's live broadcast also began.

At the same time, the live webcast between a certain wave and a certain search also started.

Opposite them was TNT's live broadcast seat, with Barkley and Smith sitting behind them.

"Hey, Charles, how are you going to punish that kid?" Smith asked.

"Kenny, he's a terrible undrafted rookie, I won't give him any shots." Facing the camera, Barkley said fiercely.

"Let him kiss your ass, I think that's a good idea, don't you?" Smith suggested with a grin.

"Oh, why don't you kiss me?" Barkley yelled, clutching his big buttocks.

"Because you're big, he won't kiss the wrong place." Smith laughed.

"Damn it, I won't let him succeed." Buckley yelled strangely.

It's time for the starters to step in.

"Brother, are you still the first?" Li Ba asked in the passage.

"Yes, brother, do you want to be the first?" Marbury smiled angrily.

What the hell, I'm already the second child, you still want to fight? Don't you want to fight for the boss, then let's play the finale.

Li Ba smiled, looked at Marion, and said to him, "Sean, are you second?"

"OK!!"

Nodding, Marion came over and stood next to Marbury.

Marbury was surprised, why is this? Why did Marion listen to Hammer so much?

Frank stood on the sidelines, admiring a moth on the wall.

As for D'Antoni, he had a bad feeling in his heart, feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird.

"Then, who is the third?" Li Ba asked again.

"Isn't it you?" Stoudemire finally couldn't help it and said.

"Me? No, no, it's either Joe or you." Li Ba said coldly.

"What did you say?"

Stoudemire was startled at first, then instantly angry.

"Sophomore rookie, didn't you understand?" Li Ba said coldly.

"What qualifications do you have to do this?" Xiaosi said angrily.

"Qualification? Didn't I say that, I never pay attention to that." Li Ba laughed and said, "Look, I'm just suggesting, anyone who wants to listen can listen. If you don't want to, I have no problem. Sean, what do you say? ?"

"Of course." Marion nodded with a wry smile.

"Sean, you can't do this. You can't listen to him, it's not good for you." Stoudemire was a little dumbfounded, and angrily yelled at Marion.

"Hey, Amare, you are just a rookie in front of me, don't threaten me, you are not qualified." Marion said impatiently.

"..." Xiao Si was dumbfounded.

"Brother, what about you?" Li Ba looked at Marbury.

"You bastard, you didn't notify me when you grabbed the seat?" Marbury cursed dissatisfiedly, but then said: "What good do I have?"

"You are my brother, so you will no longer be the wolf who ran away alone. We are together, a team. I can't carry everything for you now, but I will carry it with you. When I met the Timberwolves, I Help you get rid of Garnett, no matter how iron-blooded he is." Li Ba laughed.

Marbury was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed, then nodded.

Seeing Li Ba handle Marbury, Stoudemire was completely dumbfounded.
