Li Liang doesn't know what's wrong with this system, achievement system?

And what kind of unlucky task is this, to brag in front of the whole world, to win the NBA championship, and to have enough mouths?

Li Liang is not an arrogant person, most of the time he is quite low-key.

If it's not for completing system tasks, or accumulating some anger points, his cheap mouth is usually only shown in front of acquaintances.

In front of strangers, he was rather dull and dull.

Only the closest friends, like Wei Dazhi, know that this kid has thick skin.

So as soon as the system released the task in front of his eyes, Li Liang hesitated and decided to complete it.

Isn't it just bragging? Isn't it just amplifying words? Isn't it just shooting guns with your mouth?

You asked me to dunk at the free throw line, I can't do it, but you can tell me to give me a good mouth, can I still do it?

As a result, Li Liang, who was answering questions in a regular manner at the beginning, suddenly changed his style of painting and talked a lot.

He also said that he did not enter the NBA for money, and that it is better to go home and inherit the family business for money.

To be honest, even if Li Liang can't make it to the NBA, he doesn't want to go home and do sales.

He will listen to Calipari's advice and go to the University of Memphis to start as a grassroots trainer and continue his basketball path.

Since a person has chosen a path, how can he give up easily.

After the interview, a second-round pick like him is not eligible to be invited to the interview booth for an exclusive interview, so he went directly to the exit.

At the exit, Ryan West was waiting for him.

West beckoned to Li Liang, holding another hat in his hand—a Lakers hat.

He asked Li Liang to take off the Lone Ranger hat and put him on a Lakers cap, saying: "Congratulations, we changed from the Lone Ranger to the No. 55 pick. Fortunately, the Nets did not take you at the 54th pick. Otherwise we'll be in trouble."

It turns out that the Nets have the 54th and 57th picks, both of which can win Li Liang.

However, according to the Lakers' intelligence, the Nets are more inclined to win the Georgian at No. 54. They have been investigating this player for a long time.

And now the Nets need an inside player more than a small forward, so Shengelia has a higher priority.

The Lakers seized this opportunity, switched to the No. 55 pick from the Mavericks, and successfully picked Li Liang.

Ryan West finally breathed a sigh of relief, taking this guy is really not an easy task.

Just now, in the Lakers draft conference room, the management was still hesitant about whether to pick Li Liang.

Because Li Liang was unwilling to participate in the Lakers' group trial training, the management and scouts did not have a good impression of him.

In addition, his experience and background are a bit too much for the blank board, which still cannot make people dispel doubts.

In the end, the sick old Buss called and made a deal, asking for a trade to win Bruce Lee.

Old Buss was no longer involved in the team's draft affairs management due to physical reasons, but Kobe's phone call convinced him.

He believed in Kobe's feelings, so he called Kupchak and asked to choose Li Liang instead of Johnson-Odom.

In short, the process was full of twists and turns, but Li Liang didn't know it at all, and his expression was a little strange.

Neither particularly excited nor particularly nervous, but an indescribable sense of restlessness.

"This kid, what's going on in your head every day?" West felt a little confused about Li Liang.

In fact, Li Liang wanted to find a place to sleep quickly and enter the system to see what the achievement mode was.

"Let's go Bruce, follow me to the back, to take pictures, measure the clothes, and then go to see the management."

With a face full of reluctance, Li Liang followed West to the place where the promotional photo was taken.

The room where the photo was taken was equipped with a temporary small studio, lighting boards, tripods, and lighting, which filled the room to the brim.

As soon as Li Liang entered the door, the photographer pulled Li Liang over and asked him to stand in the studio to take promotional photos for him first.

Li Liang took a basketball with the Lakers logo in his hand, and the photographer asked him to pose a few simple poses.

"Your outfit is good, it is the best tonight." The photographer praised Li Liang's outfit, which is not bad.

After all, many fledgling young men can't hide their excitement and wear some eye-catching clothes.

As for the dressing taste of some NBA stars, it is really hard to describe.

The lighting of the studio made Li Liang sweat profusely on his forehead, but the shooting was not over yet.

The photographer was not particularly satisfied with the lighting, so he asked the makeup artist to add some powder to Li Liang's face to make his face look more three-dimensional.

After finally taking the photo, West called a Lakers staff member to measure Li Liang's size so that he can order the jersey.

"After returning to Los Angeles, there will be a signing ceremony, and the clothes will be made for you as soon as possible. Do you have a favorite number?" asked the measuring staff.

"Uh... No. 28, isn't this number retired?" Li Liang said, he had been wearing No. 28 in college.

This is an obscure number that few people use to avoid crashes.

"Of course not. We are not the Celtics. We will retire with any number." Sure enough, it was a Laker. At this time, I did not forget to ridicule the Celtics.

After measuring the size, Li Liang followed West inside again.

There are more than 60 rooms distributed around Madison Square Garden, and each team will be allocated a room as a draft war room.

The draft is drawing to a close, but the work in the war room isn't over.

Li Liang entered the somewhat messy war room, the inner door was still closed, and the management staff were inside.

The Lakers' draft is not over yet. They hold the 60th pick and must hold on until the last moment.

At this time, there was a burst of applause, and it seemed that the draft was officially over.

The door opened, and management personnel filed out.

There are Lakers general manager Kupchak, executive vice president Jim Buss, vice president Magic Johnson, assistant managers Rod Jackson, Glenn Carraro, scouting director Jess Buss, and seven others. Seven or eight people.

Among them, only scouting director Jess Bass and Magic Johnson stepped forward to shake Li Liang's hand. The others just greeted Li Liang with their eyes and then dispersed.

Jess Buss is about the same age as Ryan West, and he is the youngest son of Buss Sr.

"Hello, congratulations on becoming a member of the Lakers." Jess Buss has a round face and a beard, and he looks very friendly.

While shaking hands with him, Li Liang mobilized the [Ball Blind Detector]:

[Ball blindness index 35%, a member of the senior ball blind family, his love for money and beautiful women has affected his in-depth and persistent understanding of basketball, but benefited from his family's talent, he has a unique feeling for basketball. There is no magical inspiration, but he is a well-behaved senior basketball player and a qualified advanced ball blind. 】

Li Liang saw that the ball blindness index was not bad, on par with Ryan West.

"Hello, thank you for your trust, I will try my best to show it." Li Liang replied.

According to West, Jess is still positive about choosing Li Liang.

He also believes that the Lakers need to keep up with the trend and make a difference at the forward position, but his brother Jim Buss disagrees.

Jim Buss has always believed that the team needs an insider to serve as the insurance of the team lineup.

So, at No. 60, they took Robert Thackeray.

The second person who shook hands with Li Liang was the famous magician Johnson.

Since retiring early due to AIDS, Johnson has been active in the NBA circle.

After failing to serve as the team's head coach in the 1993-1994 season, Johnson served as the vice president of the Lakers.

He is about the same height as Li Liang, but his body is three circles fatter than when he was young.

Still wearing his trademark smile, Magic is notoriously approachable among superstars.

Wei Dazhi, who was waiting at the side, saw the two shaking hands and quickly proposed to take a group photo. The magician nodded in agreement.

Li Liang also put on a smiling face, because he really wanted to laugh.

[Ball Blind Detector] gave the magician such an evaluation:

[Ball blindness index 50%, another form of 50-50 open ball blindness, basketball actual combat skills have reached the point where you can do whatever you want without exceeding the rules, and you can go high and high with ease. His next move, not to mention others, even he himself can't guess. But when it came to the theoretical and logical level, he fell into a dilemma where he was pointing out what was not working, and his head was full of question marks. It was easy for people to not understand at all. The serious conflict between his skills and theory, the self-contradictory phenomenon of logic and behavior, is also known as "the uncertainty principle of ball blindness". 】

The magician's passing on the court is indeed unpredictable, but he is really not very good as a coach. I wonder if he will have any magical operations when he becomes the general manager in the future?

Li Liang didn't dare to think that if he was the boss, seeing this evaluation, he would have to think carefully about the magician as the general manager.

Magician Johnson was very kind, exchanged a few words with Li Liang, and signed Wei Dazhi.

Li Liang thought to himself, when will he meet a magician in the mission system?

After all these things were done, Ryan West patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "Now, you can go back and celebrate with your family and friends. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, fly to Los Angeles by yourself, go to the headquarters Report. Airfare and hotel expenses can be reimbursed, and you have to settle the accommodation yourself. Afterwards, I will tell you when I arrive in Los Angeles, and by the way, bring your agent.”

Li Liang nodded, and the draft was over.

It turns out that's the case. In fact, if it's not a rookie in the lottery, it's hard to get any attention.

Although there was a small upsurge on the Internet, it depended on Li Liang's transparency and his identity as a Chinese.

In the league, in the Lakers, he is just a second-round pick, still the 55th pick.

In fact, most of the second-round picks, like Thackeray, didn't show up.

The war room was in a mess, with waste paper and debris all over the floor.

The whiteboard is covered with crooked words, and it can be seen that winning Li Liang in the 55th trade has gone through a lot of games.

Perhaps, the Lakers wanted to get other better picks and players, but they didn't succeed.

From this point of view, Li Liang's fate is still in the hands of others.

But now that he's in the NBA, it's different.

Li Liang let out a long breath, feeling that everything had come to an end and a new journey was about to begin.

At this time, only Wei Dazhi and Li Liang were left in the war room, and Wei Dazhi finally had the opportunity to interview Li Liang alone.

"Hey, Li Liang, come on, accept my exclusive interview!"

"Come back tomorrow, I'm going back to sleep." Li Liang said, he still hasn't forgotten about the system.

"Sleep? Is there something wrong with you? You went to sleep as soon as you were selected, so you can't celebrate?"

"Celebrate a yarn, sleep is the best celebration, slip away."
