Chapter 14 An important day

"Wow!"

The hotel curtains were opened by Li Li, and the sun shone through the glass into the room, giving a panoramic view of the New York street scene.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the streets of New York were already busy with traffic.

Ten days have passed since the Thunder's training camp. The reason why Lip appeared in New York is precisely because the annual NBA draft will be held tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York.

After experiencing the "yellow-green war", the most intense finals in the past ten years, before the fans can take a breath, they will usher in another draft in a big year.

Yes, at this time, both the media and team management believe that after the "small year of the draft" in 2009, this year will definitely be a big year for the draft.

In this year's regular season, there were a total of 9 teams with less than 30 wins. You know, last year's regular season, there were only 7 teams.

There's no way around it, this year's rookies are so eye-catching.

Whether it’s Kentucky’s talented guard John Wall, or all-around warrior Evan Turner, or talented inside lineman DeMarcus Cousins, in addition to Wesley Johnson and Derrick Favors,

Gordon Hayward, Paul George and other geniuses.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is that this is also a cursed generation.

From No. 1 pick John Wall to undrafted Lin Shuhao, from lottery picks to second-round picks, every player who can play has suffered serious injuries. Nearly half of the top ten picks have suffered season reimbursement.

, it can be said to be extremely miserable.

If Li Pu didn't have Chamberlain's durability, he would definitely not dare to participate in this year's draft.

Although compared with these famous geniuses, Li Pu is not that famous, and he was not even invited to participate in the conference.

However, Li Pu was very satisfied because in the interview session after the training camp that day, Presti had promised him that he would be selected with a first-round pick.

In the training match that day, under the leadership of Li Pu, the team completed a reversal. Not only did it successfully win the game, Li Pu himself also scored 8 points, 18 rebounds and 8 blocks.

It can be seen that although Lip still struggles on the offensive end, he has endless potential on the defensive end.

This not only impressed Presti, but also made Brooks no longer have any objections and acquiesced in Presti's choice.

Li Pu is naturally very satisfied with this. Although he cannot be a lottery pick, being able to join a team with great potential makes Li Pu full of hope for the future.

"Ding dong!" At this time, the doorbell rang at the door.

Li Pu opened the door without looking at who was outside. He turned around and went back to the room. Immediately afterwards, someone pushed the door open and entered. Naturally, it was Lin Shuhao.

Li Pu still felt a little guilty about Lin Shuhao.

During the interview at that time, Li Pu also recommended Lin Shuhao to Presti, telling him: "Lin Shuhao's abilities are not ordinary, but he is looked down upon because of his skin color. All he lacks is an opportunity. I hope Presti

Mr. Stee can consider it!”

But Presti just said, "I'll think about it!"

Lin Shuhao also performed very well that day. His interference with Bledsoe at critical moments and his super-fast breakthrough speed made him a full presence on the court.

But even so, Presti still didn't let go.

"Are you up? Then quickly change your clothes and follow me!" Lin Shuhao said eagerly with his usual expression.

"Where to go?"

"It's too late to explain, I told you on the way! Now hurry up and change clothes!"

Just like that, early in the morning, Li Pu, who was confused, left the hotel at the urging of Lin Shuhao.

Half an hour later, Li Pu looked at the barber shop called "Hair Mode" in front of him and couldn't help complaining: "Is this why you called me out so early in the morning?"

“Do you know how hard it is to get a date at this store?”

"so what?"

"Today is such an important day. If you want to show yourself in front of the whole world, of course you need a handsome hairstyle!"

"I……"

No wonder you changed your hairstyle in weird shapes every day, but it shows now!

"Let's go, let's go!" After saying that, Lin Shuhao pulled Li Pu into the barber shop.

It has to be said that this "Great Neck" store can be opened on Fifth Avenue, where land is at a premium. Needless to say, the decoration is not luxurious, but it also reveals a simple and fashionable temperament.

Of course, the billboard hanging on the wall: 15% off for new customers on hair dyeing from Monday to Thursday, $45 for men and $65 for women, still shows why this store can stand here. It is so expensive. This

But it’s a beautiful knife!

"Hi, Jeremy!" Lin Shuhao and Li Pu saw a young Chinese man walking towards them.

"Hi, Michael, why are you here in person?" Lin Shuhao greeted him.

"Today is your important day, can I not come? You are the pride of us Chinese people!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's not certain whether I can be selected! Let me introduce you to Michael Dong, a famous hairstylist and the founder of this brand. Dong Weiqing, this is the person who will be with me this year.

My good friend who participated in the draft, Prince Lee! He is much better than me, and I will definitely be selected tonight!"

"Wow, that's amazing. You're so tall, you're just like a giant!" Dong Weiqing took the initiative to greet Li Pu.

"Thanks!"

Li Pu has seen this way of greeting so many times this month. Even when walking on the road, there are people who want to take photos with Li Pu.

"After getting your hair cut in a while, can we take a photo together?"

Sure enough, look at it!

"Of course it's no problem!" Before Li Pu could answer, Jeremy Lin on the side took the initiative to reply, "But let's get a haircut first!"

In this way, about two hours later, Li Pu and Lin Shuhao walked out of the barber shop with new hairstyles.

Looking at Lin Shuhao's hair style which had hardly changed from his own, Li Pu once suspected that Lin Shuhao had been deceived.

Unlike others, Lin Shuhao's haircut cost hundreds of dollars.

This kind of fraud can make more money than playing in the NBA.

That's right, in Li Pu's opinion, this is fraud!

Unexpectedly, even after being reborn, I still fell into the wrong profession!

After getting their hair cut and having lunch, the two took another nap in the hotel until four o'clock in the afternoon when the agent and stylist arrived at the hotel with two sets of customized suits.

Lin Shuhao's agent is Roger Montgomery, a rookie agent who is not very young. He only has one player, Lin Shuhao, and now he has a second one.

That's right, since Li Pu now has no agent, Lin Shuhao introduced his agent to Li Pu.

Although Li Pu didn't trust Roger, he believed in Lin Shuhao, so he agreed.

Putting on a custom-made dark blue suit, the two inner pockets of the suit were sewn with the national flags of China and Rwanda respectively.

He can't let Mudiay have this kind of personality that never forgets his roots!

"Yes, very handsome! I have already called the car to Madison Garden and am waiting at the door of the hotel. If everything is ready, let's set off!" Roger praised Li Pu and said to him.

Unlike those players who were invited into the draft green room, Li Pu and Lin Shuhao could only ride to their destinations by themselves.

"Is Jeremy okay too?"

"Of course! After changing clothes, he talked to his family on the phone for nearly half an hour!"

"Okay, let's go!"

When Li Pu and Lin Shuhao walked down from the hotel together and saw Roger's rented luxury car, Li Pu suddenly became nervous.

Is it finally coming?

For a time, Li Pu was so arrogant that he had endless fantasies about the future.

"Prince, come on!"

"Jeremy, come on!"

The two smiled at each other and got into the luxury car together.
Chapter completed!
