The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 130 The draft is approaching, the undercurrent is raging

Zuo Li didn't care about the unfamiliar number. Telecom fraud in the United States is also very rampant these days, so he just hung up.

As a result, he persistently made this call three times, and at the fourth time, Zuo Li finally took the trouble and pressed the speakerphone directly.

"Hey, don't buy land, don't rent shops, don't want special services, don't sell medicine."

"Hmm..." There was a sudden silence on the phone, and Zuo Li could feel the heavy breathing of the person on the other side, as if trying to suppress his emotions.

Just when Zuo Li thought that the other party was about to let go, the other party finally spoke, but this sentence was more confusing than renting a shop for Zuo Li.

"Hi, I'm James Dolan."

As soon as this remark came out, Zuo Li and Rich Paul looked at each other, pressed the speakerphone back, and asked Rich Paul who was also confused.

Zuo Li: "Who? Who did he say he was?"

Rich Paul "James...Dolan?"

Zuo Li: "The one from American Cable TV? The owner of the Knicks?"

Rich Paul: "Probably...maybe, yeah, no guarantees, maybe a liar."

Zuo Li scratched his head, indeed, after coming to the United States for so many years, he just felt that there are really too many fucking people named James.

What if it's a new type of fraud, such as 'I'm James Dolan, my company is in debt crisis and urgently needs $5000 in turnover, invest now, and fly with you in the future' and the like.

However, the chances of this thing having the same name should not be high.

No matter what, Zuo Li wanted to see what this guy was up to, "Hey, I'm Zuo Li, what's the matter?"

"Well, I just want to ask, are you interested in playing for the Knicks?"

"???"

Zuo Li was a bit square, he even forgot to ask him how he knew his phone number.

The Knicks, to be honest, they haven’t really been in contact with the Knicks for so long. The main reason is that the Knicks’ No. 6 pick is simply impossible to pick Zuo Li. Moreover, the Knicks team, how should I put it, I understand I understand.

Apart from being a metropolis and earning a lot of money, there is nothing else. Although Zuo Li has been growing up in New York this life, after all, he came from a time-travel, and he doesn't have a deep affection for the Knicks.

Maybe because Zuo Li was hesitant, the person opposite immediately said that he wanted to have an interview with Zuo Li, and the time was set at noon tomorrow.

Zuo Li naturally agreed.

So the conversation between Zuo Li and Rich Paul was temporarily suspended, and everything depends on the situation the next day.

At noon the next day, at a private coffee shop in Manhattan, Zuo Li and Rich Paul went to an appointment with synesthesia, and it was Dolan himself who received them!

This point undoubtedly won Zuo Li's goodwill, allowing Dolan to come out to receive him in person, at least there is nothing wrong with his attitude.

And Dolan's attitude is also very low. He directly stated that if Zuo Li agrees to join the Knicks, they will give Zuo Li the best treatment, even a house and a car.

When Zuo Li heard it, it really smelled like the familiar Knicks. Others might not work. It was really refreshing when spending money, but other teams had promised Zuo Li these things. After all, Zuo Li was the hottest player this year. Players, so Zuo Li still asked.

"Well, Mr. Dolan, you seem to have only the No. 6 pick."

"Well, yes, the person who drew the lottery has been fired by me, and our luck is not good."

Zuo Li: "???"

Good guy, he will be fired if he disagrees with him. He is indeed one of the few capitalists in New York. As expected, no one named James is easy to get along with.

"But you don't have to worry, as long as you are willing to come, we will do our best to handle all this!" Dolan said sincerely.

To be honest, although it is very unreasonable to expel the person who drew the lottery, if you know Dolan's mental journey, you will feel that it is probably just being pissed off.

It all started 4 years ago.

As the only basketball team in New York, the Knicks are definitely a special existence. As the team with the highest market value in the league, they have never been able to match their results. Instead, they have become comedians unknowingly...

The best comedian in the league is none other than the Knicks!

The New York Knicks are now most famous not for their performance and court performance, but for their various operations during each offseason, which is confusing.

For example, if you have such a good football market, you can't always sign a star who can play your own role. The rookies you choose either cannot be cultivated, or they give up halfway through the training.

You never know what their next plan is, let alone any long-term plans.

In fact, since the last time the millennium touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks have been obsessed with the endless cycle of "the stink of playing, go to the lottery", and it is difficult to extricate themselves.

It's kind of puzzling when you think about it, the Knicks are sitting in New York, a city that's more powerful than Los Angeles.

The GDP here is the highest in the United States, which means that there are rich fathers everywhere—after all, more than one-tenth of the world's top [-] companies are headquartered in New York.

The entertainment industry is also very developed, from the Metropolitan Museum to Broadway, and then to the Marvel headquarters.

Don't forget, New York's alias is Gotham, and some heroes who fly to the sky and escape from the earth are here to fight for justice.

Among other things, there are countless stars in New York. There are young people playing basketball everywhere in the streets and alleys. Countless people come here to chase their basketball dreams.

However the Knicks...

Not to mention.

And since Dolan took over the management of the Knicks in the late 90s, the team can only be described as going from bad to worse, so the Knicks supporters of course pointed all their fingers at Dolan, thinking that he is the culprit.

Dolan is wearing the hat of the family dude.

This made Dolan very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, grades are everything, and anything he said now would only be ridiculed even more. So he worked very hard in the player market, securing big contracts one after another.

Well, as a result, everyone has seen that the Knicks have been the favorite for the No. [-] pick for several consecutive seasons.

Under such circumstances, Zuo Li came into their sight.

This is thanks to Marbury. When Marbury satirized Zuo Li in the media, he was still a member of the Knicks. Thanks to Marbury, Zuo Li was discovered by the Knicks scouts.

So no matter on the street or in Stuyvesant or Davidson, there are Knicks scouts in the corner. In the Knicks office, Zuo Li's profile is half the height of a person.

The Knicks were overjoyed when they learned that Zuo Li was participating in the draft. In the end, they missed it. Last season, they were second to last and got the sixth pick. They didn’t even have a top three pick. It can only be said—absolutely !

Very much in line with the Knicks' personality.

Dolan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He had personally followed the project for so many years, so he was going to be so dirty. Can you stop worrying, so the poor guy became the blame man.

And just when the Knicks were about to give up on Zuo Li, the physical test report in the morning was released. This time, the scout said: "This is the future of the Knicks!"

So Dolan came in person.

The undercurrent of the draft is finally about to surface!
