Chapter 291 Roll it up

"Da da da..."

The sound of high-heeled shoes hitting a man's heart passed by in the aisle, causing the men in the surrounding offices to raise their heads.

Well, head in the narrow sense.

Even though Li Pugui is a superstar and a new MVP, what really makes the team staff envious is his girlfriend!

He is rich, beautiful and capable. I really don’t know what good things Li Pu did in his previous life to have such a perfect girlfriend. Could it be that he saved the galaxy?

After knocking on the door of the general manager's office, Divac's frowning face was revealed behind the desk.

To be honest, Divac is in the spotlight now and just defeated Spurs general manager R.C. Buford this year to win the NBA's Best General Manager Award.

After all, during the offseason last year, the Kings went through a major overhaul. Not only did they trade for Li Pu, the new MVP, but they also traded for a number of young and promising players, helping the team achieve third place in the Western Conference and reach the Western Conference Finals.

There really is both the present and the future.

However, although all this fell on Divac's head, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just a puppet. The only person who can really speak for the Kings is this little girl in front of him.

"Why are you here? Anjali?" Seeing Anjali, Divac stood up to greet her.

Although Anjali is Divac's assistant in name, she still has the status of the boss's daughter. If Divac wants to keep his job with more money and less work, he has to be polite to Anjali.

With the success of the Kings this season, Divac has resigned himself to his fate. In addition to having no power in his hands, this position can bring him honor, money, and status.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with lying flat in this position!

"I have some new ideas about the upcoming draft, and I want you to take a look!"

With that said, Anjali handed a document she was holding in her arms to Divac.

"Oh? Has there been another change?"

Divac put the document in Anjali's hand with a slightly surprised expression.

What do you think? Who doesn’t know what that guy Li Pu thinks?

Divac is very disdainful of others saying that he is a puppet. Am I a puppet? Isn't Anjali a rare person?

Although Anjali says the same thing, she still has to listen to her man?

Women, they just have soft ears!

"Eh? Isn't this our country's Nicolas?" When Divac opened the folder, he saw a familiar little fat man.

This little fat guy is none other than a young player from their country, Nikola Jokic.

As Serbia's most well-known basketball star, Divac has also provided great help to the development of Serbia's domestic basketball career.

Therefore, I also have a general understanding of the domestic basketball scene.

The Jokic that Anjiali is following is 21 years old, born in Sombor, Serbia, and the third oldest in the family.

Jokic played basketball with his two older brothers since he was a child. At the age of 15, he entered the youth team of the Serbian League Mega Leks and was promoted to the adult team at the age of 17.

This season he averaged 11.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in the league. Although he is a genius, he is definitely not a particularly outstanding talent. In this rare draft year of this decade, let alone the first player.

If you are drafted, you may not be selected even in the second round.

"The team wants to draft him?"

To be honest, Divac is not optimistic about Jokic's development in the NBA.

Jokic's league statistics in Serbia are not very impressive, and his physical talent is average, with poor explosive power, slow lateral movement, insufficient jumping ability, slow speed, poor physical fitness, and weak willpower.

It can be said that he is neither a potential stock nor an immediate fighting force. What use does the team have for him?

"Although this Nicholas is my compatriot, as the general manager of the King, I still want to ask, why is it Nicholas?"

Speaking of this, Anjiali also sighed, "Have you seen the results of the Western Conference Finals?"

"Yes, there is still a gap between us and the Spurs after all!"

More than just a gap, the gap is simply huge!

Originally, the fans and management of the Kings had hope to participate in the championship competition after discovering that the team defeated the defending champion Thunder. After all, there are only 4 teams left!

However, in the Western Conference Finals, facing the experienced Spurs, the Kings actually lost two games in a row and were beaten by the Spurs.

Although the Kings won two games with Lip's superb performance, in the end the team lost to the Spurs with a score of 4:2 and stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

"The gap between us and the Spurs is all-round, especially in offense. Our offense relies too much on Prince. Now Coach Brown is preparing to establish the Princeton system, so we need some players who can play this system!"

"I understand, but there is still a problem!"

After listening to Anjali's story, Divac had a general understanding and understood Anjali's intentions.

However, he still raised an objection.

"What's the problem?"

"That guy Nikola doesn't want to play in the NBA!"

"ah?"

Now it was Anjali's turn to be dumbfounded!

After the playoffs, Li Pu, who had gone home to fish, was really fishing at this time.

On a yacht sailing on the west coast of the ugly country, surprisingly, there was not a single beautiful woman in a bikini, but all men.

It's really amazing that this kind of Arhat situation can occur.

There is no way, this time it is Li Pu's treat. Everyone in the team knows An Jiali's identity. Who dares to bring the woman in front of Li Pu?

Therefore, at this time, Li Pu was lying on a plywood recliner, holding a fishing rod in his hand and making a satellite phone call.

"Oh, that's it!"

"What do you mean it's just like this? Then won't all the plans we made before be scrapped and we have to start making adjustments again?"

Anjali's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's okay, just proceed as planned. I must eat this piece of pork belly!"

"Hey, okay! I can't tell you anything!"

"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow, thank you for your hard work..."

After a brief exchange of words, Li Pu hung up the phone.

"What pork belly?" It wasn't until Li Pu hung up the phone that Giannis asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just a player!"

Giannis understood immediately. The draft had not yet taken place, so Lip naturally wanted to keep it a secret.

"By the way, where are Jimmy and Chris? I called them and sent them messages, but no response at all. It feels like they have disappeared from the world!"

Giannis had long discovered that this time Li Pu invited all the players to come out to play, but he never saw Butler and no one could contact him.

"Oh, you're talking about the two of them? That guy Jimmy has always been worried about Durant's buzzer-beating shot, so the two of them and a few other friends rented a rough house in Houston without a mobile phone or Internet.

, prepare for ascetic training!"

Although Lip said this matter in a calm tone, it caused huge waves in Giannis's heart.

Today's Butler is much better than himself, but even so, the other party can work so hard, and what about him? He actually still has time to have fun here?

No, I have to work harder!

Looking at Giannis's expression, which was like an electric shock, Li Pu knew that this guy would probably not be able to sleep at night.

Very good, just roll it up like this!

You green fruits must ripen quickly!

I can't wait!
