Chapter 229 New people and old people

A brand new Cadillac parked in the parking lot of the Kings training facility, and then a tall figure walked out of it. A loose T-shirt could not block his muscles that were about to explode.

After touching the new car he just bought, the man smiled with satisfaction, then picked up a sports bag from the back seat and prepared to walk towards the arena.

Just then, another car drove into the parking lot.

My $80,000 car pales in comparison to the opponent's sports car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Just as he was still guessing which star on the team was coming, a familiar white face walked out of the car.

"Hi Seth!"

"Robert, you arrived quite early!"

The two are named Seth Curry and Robert Covington. Both were undrafted this year and both represented the Kings in this year's summer league.

The two of them met in the summer league.

The Kings have a lot of rookies this year, so most of them are participating in the summer league.

Covington and Seth fist bumped.

"Let's go in!"

"good!"

The two acquaintances walked into the arena together. However, after walking in, they found that someone was already training on the court!

I saw a player wearing jersey No. 22, making an extremely smooth change-of-direction jump shot, but was slapped away by the person in front of him.

The person who sent this hot pot was none other than the current boss of the Kings team, Lip.

"Jimmy, you still didn't change the direction of the ball well! It's not big enough!"

"Just wait, I will definitely beat you with the next ball!" The person who got Li Pu's hot pot was naturally Li Pu's successor, Jimmy Butler.

Since Cousins ​​was the No. 5 pick and Lip was the No. 18 pick, their salaries were different.

Cousins' salary this season is 4.92 million, while Lip's salary is only 2.63 million.

According to the NBA's trading rules, the player salaries of both parties are basically equal, ranging from 0 to 9.8 million. The upper limit of the player's salary obtained = the player's salary sent * 150% + 100,000.

Therefore, although the amount of this transaction is not large, it still needs to be added.

At first, Presti was unwilling to send Butler out. After all, Sefolosha was almost 30 years old, and the Thunder needed someone to support the Thunder's perimeter defense. In this regard, Presti was optimistic about Butler.

of.

But Li Pu asked Anjali to kill Butler. After a heated argument and considering that there were still so many draft picks, Presti finally agreed.

When he comes to an unfamiliar team, Li Pu needs to have a confidant, and this person should preferably be an outsider who can pass the ball to him, which will make things more convenient.

What's more, Butler is the most underestimated player today. Only Li Pu knows how strong he is, so Li Pu is very optimistic that he can become one of his right-hand men!

"Hahaha, then I've been waiting for a long time... Hey, are you here?"

At this time, Lip saw Seth and Covington who had just walked in.

"Hello, I'm Robert Covington!"

Covington stood upright like a penalty stand.

"Hi, Prince!"

"Long time no see! Seth!"

Now it was Covington's turn to be dumbfounded. They were all newcomers, so why do you still know the boss?

Li Pu must have noticed Covington's doubts, so he patiently explained: "His brother Stephen and I are good friends and we met at a party before!"

Covington nodded, understanding suddenly in his heart.

In Ugly Country, all industries have their own circles. I joined through the draft, and I have just stepped into this circle, unlike Seth, who relied on his brother and easily stepped into it.

"Okay, you guys go change clothes quickly!"

After the two went to the locker room, Butler said, "Are they really good?"

Butler has watched this year's summer league, and the Kings' performance was poor, so Butler has no confidence in them at all.

"When you went to the Thunder, do you know what I thought of you?" Li Pu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"You say I look like Jordan?" Butler's mouth twitched.

"Hahaha, when I said you look like Jordan, it's not just about appearance!" Li Pu patted Butler's arm, "Now, I'm equally optimistic about them!"

"Hello...hello?"

Just then, someone else walked in at the door.

Butler looked over and saw a man even thinner than Li Pu. He was 211cm tall and weighed just over 80 kilograms.

"You're the one... Antetokounmpo..." Butler recognized the other person, the No. 7 pick selected by the Kings this year. His performance in the summer league was very poor, but this guy's name was too convoluted.

"Antetokounmpo!"

Li Pu felt happy when he saw the person coming.

If Butler is his left arm, then Antetokounmpo is his right arm.

Although in the original time and space, Antetokounmpo's reputation was not good, especially his stepping incident, which became the black mark of countless people's lives.

But one thing is for sure, his strength is definitely at the MVP level.

His physical fitness is superb, his breakthrough ability is at the top level in history, his defensive potential is also very good, and he has won the best defensive player.

What's more, as long as you turn him into a teammate, you will have one less person to step on your feet.

It's a win-win!

Well, that means I win twice by myself!

"Welcome, how did you get here?"

Li Pu stepped forward and fist bumped with Antetokounmpo.

"P...Prince? I came here by taxi!"

Seeing Lip, Antetokounmpo felt amazing. He still remembered watching his game on TV, but he didn't expect to be on the same team as Lip.

"Take a taxi? Come to my house later in the evening and I'll lend you one!" Li Pu wrote lightly.

"Ah? No...that's not good, right?" Antetokounmpo was very surprised. How could anyone give him a car when they first meet him?

"What's wrong?"

"I don't have a driver's license yet!"

"Uh... let's wait until you finish taking the driver's license test!"

At this moment, someone else came in and shouted to Li Pu: "Hey, you are so rich? Why don't you lend me a car?"

This voice belongs to the old Onmyoji.

Li Pu looked up and saw, isn't this his old acquaintance Bledsoe?

Speaking of the relationship with Bledsoe, it can be traced back to the joint trial.

It can be said that when Li Pu just traveled through time, the first people he saw were Bledsoe.

During the Thunder's trial training, Bledsoe suffered a lot at the hands of Lip. Later, in official games, he also suffered from Lip's hat.

Even though Bledsoe was arrogant towards Li Pu, in fact, he had been convinced by Li Pu a long time ago. He didn't even know it, but his heart had unknowingly changed into the shape of Li Pu.

"Hahaha, okay, you can drive the car in my garage as you like! As long as you get my crotch stretched out on the battlefield!"

"Pull your hips? Who are you looking down on?"
