The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 229 New and old
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 couldn't stop his bulging muscles that were about to explode.

After touching the new car he just bought, the man showed a satisfied smile, 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.

His $8 sedan pales in comparison to the opponent's sports car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

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

"Hi, Seth!"

"Robert, you arrived quite early!"

The two are called Seth Curry and Robert Covington, both of whom were undrafted this year, and both represented the Kings in this year's summer league.

The two of them met at the summer league.

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

Covington punched Seth.

"Come on, let's go in!"

"it is good!"

The two people who were acquainted walked into the arena together, but after walking in, they found that someone had already started training on the court at this time!

I saw a player wearing the No. 22 jersey, with an extremely silky change-of-direction jumper, but was slapped away by the person in front of him.

It was Li Pu, the boss of the current Kings team, who sent out this hot pot.

"Jimmy, you still haven't done a good job of changing the direction of the ball! The range is not big enough!"

"Wait, I'll beat you with the next ball!" The person who got caught by Li Pu was naturally Li Pu's addition, Jimmy Butler.

Since Cousins ​​was the No. 5 pick and Li Pu was the No. 18 pick, the salaries of the two are different.

Cousins' salary this season is 492 million, while Li Pu only has 263 million.

According to the trading rules of the NBA, the basic principle of reciprocity in the salaries of players on both sides is between 0 and 980 million, and the upper limit of player salaries = sent player salaries * 150% + 10.

So don't look at the small amount of this transaction, but it also needs to be added.

At first, Presti was reluctant to send Butler away. After all, Sefolosha is almost 30 years old, and the Thunder needs someone to support the Thunder's perimeter defense. In this regard, Presti is optimistic about Butler. of.

But Li Pu had to ask Butler to kill An Jiali. After a verbal battle, and considering that there were still so many draft picks, Presti finally agreed.

Coming to an unfamiliar team, Li Pu needs to have a confidant, and it is best for this person to be an outsider who can pass the ball to himself. It will be more convenient to do so.

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 have something to wait for... Hey, are you here?"

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

"You... hello, I'm Robert Covington!"

Covington stood upright like a punishment.

"Hi Prince!"

"Long time no see! Seth!"

Now it's Covington's turn to be dumbfounded. They are all newcomers, so why do you still know the boss?
Li Pu should have seen Covington's doubts, so he patiently explained: "I am good friends with his brother Stephen, we met at the party before!"

Covington nodded, and suddenly understood in his heart.

In Ugly Country, there are circles in all industries. I joined through the draft, and I just stepped into this circle. Unlike Seth, relying on his brother, he stepped into it easily.

"Okay, go and change your clothes!"

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

Butler has seen this year's summer league, and the Kings' performance is poor, so this makes Butler have no confidence in them at all.

"When you went to Thunder, do you know what I thought of you?" Li Pu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

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

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

"You... hello?"

At this moment, another person walked in at the door.

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

"You are the...Adeto..." Butler recognized the opponent. The No. 7 pick selected by the Kings this year, he performed very badly in the summer league, but this guy's name is too convoluted.

"Antetokounmpo!"

Seeing the visitor, Li Pu was overjoyed.

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

Although in the original time and space, Brother Antetokounmpo's reputation was not good, especially his stepping incident, which became a black spot for countless people.

But one thing to say, his strength is definitely at the MVP level.

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

What's more, as long as he turns him into a teammate, there will be one less person who can step on his feet.

It's literally a win-win!
Well, that means I won twice by myself!
"Welcome, how did you come here?"

Li Pu stepped forward and shook hands with Antetokounmpo.

"P...Prince? I took a taxi!"

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

"Take a taxi? Come to my house later at night, and I'll lend you one!" Li Pu wrote lightly.

"Ah? No...isn't it good?" Antetokounmpo was very surprised. No one would give a car as soon as they met for the first time.

"What's wrong?"

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

"Uh...then wait until you finish your driver's license test!"

At this moment, another person came in and said loudly to Li Pu, "Hey, you are so rich? Why don't you lend me a car too?"

This voice sounds like an old onmyoji.

Li Pu looked up, isn't this the old acquaintance Bledsoe?

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

It can be said that Bledsoe was the first person Li Pu saw when he crossed over.

During the thunder trial training, Bledsoe even suffered a loss from Li Pu, and later in the official game, he also suffered from Li Pu's cap.

Don't look at Bledsoe being angry at Li Pu, but in fact he has been convinced by Li Pu a long time ago. He doesn't know it, and his heart has unconsciously changed into Li Pu's shape.

"Hahaha, okay, you can drive the car in my garage as you like! As long as you are pulled by my hips on the battlefield!"

"Crotch pulling? Who do you look down on?"
