Lian Dao walked out of the bathroom, but then the champagne poured out.
Damn, this bath was in vain.
This is something that will happen in the semifinals. Both teams will have celebratory champagne in the locker rooms, but only the winner will be in the mood to use it.
As long as the semifinals are won, the next step is the NCAA finals.
And for the team that can stand in the finals, there are no losers.
Because as long as they stand on the stage of the finals, no matter which team they are, they will get the maximum exposure and benefits!
As long as the school can stand on the stage of the finals, it will basically make a lot of money.
For players and teams, no one wants to be the backdrop for the other.
The pure point of the NCAA is that college players fight for honor.
If USC can win tonight, all the players know that the biggest contributor is Lian Dao.
The lipstick on Lian Dao's face and the gossip in the man's heart just made him forget the most important thing.
If you slow down now, you will definitely get worse in the future.
This guy is so good on the field, yet he still has such a good rapport with women, it’s unreasonable!
Therefore, all the champagne is aimed at Lian Dao.
Lian Dao dodged at first, but found that even if he dodged again, the clothes he had just changed were wetted by the spray.
Simply, instead of dodging, he picked up the champagne and sprayed it with everyone.
For a moment, the whole locker room seemed to be raining champagne.
In the end, everyone was sitting on the floor, looking at the messy locker room, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
They didn't expect to go so far this season, even though Lian Dao was a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of winning the semi-finals.
But he didn't have enough confidence at that time.
At this moment, Tim carefully pushed open the door of the locker room. He first pushed open a crack in the door, then looked inside. When he saw that the battle was over, he boldly opened the door completely.
He was such a thief. Because he was wearing a neat suit, he didn't go back to the locker room after the game just to avoid being irritated by all the players' champagne.
Seeing the scene in the locker room, he was very happy for his choice, and then signaled Lian Dao that someone was looking for him.
After hearing this, Lian Dao got up, wiped himself with a towel, and followed Tim out of the locker room.
It turned out to be NBA scouts, except for the Grizzlies scouts that Lian Dao had met before.
A few others are the New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Sacramento Kings, Timberwolves and Warriors.
Judging from these teams, they are all teams that have a chance to win the lottery or the top three picks.
There is no way, judging from the current situation, Lian Dao cannot fall out of the lottery, even if he does not play a minute in the finals.
So these teams also came to explore Lian Dao's wishes and team trial arrangements.
The Grizzlies have been in contact with Lian Dao for a long time, and they are also the team that knows the most about his progress. Therefore, the Grizzlies management also tipped the scales in Lian Dao's favor in this game.
They are considering using lottery tickets to pick cheap money.
The same goes for the Oklahoma City Thunder. They are also full of interest in Lian Dao. Of course, in addition, they are also full of interest in James Harden.
The Thunder is a young guard. It must be said that youth is the label of the Thunder. The coach also dares to use new players. It can be said that the Thunder has fertile soil for the growth of new players.
Moreover, the Thunder's record in the past two years is for training and rebuilding with Durant and Westbrook as the core.
They moved from Seattle to Oklahoma last season and changed their name, which shows the team's determination to rebuild.
The New York Knicks also changed their general manager and head coach this season. D'Antoni is the most coveted for Lian Dao. He believes that Lian Dao will become the engine of his run-and-gun tactics.
General manager Donnie Walsh is also very optimistic about Lian Dao.
Moreover, owner James Dolan has always wanted to acquire James. If Lian Dao performs well in his rookie season, it is possible for the Knicks to keep him or trade him for more chips.
In addition to the above three teams, the Sacramento Kings, Timberwolves and Warriors are also very interested in Lian Dao, especially the Warriors. Nelson likes Lian Dao very much.
To be honest, this mad scientist likes Chinese players very much, from Wang Zhizhi before to Lian Dao now.
Moreover, Lian Dao's precise three-point shooting and excellent physical fitness have made mad scientists salivate over him.
These teams have all extended trial invitations to Lian Dao.
After chatting with the scouts, Lian Dao returned to the locker room and found that DeMar and Gibson were also talking about the draft.
These two will definitely participate in the draft this year, and their prospects this year are very good.
The impact of Lian Dao's rebirth has begun to take shape.
Let's not talk about whether there will be any changes in this year's draft lottery. Let's talk about the people in Southern California. Gibson's draft pick prediction has already reached the lottery zone. In his previous life, he was almost at the end of the first round.
Speaking of DeMar, his current predicted draft pick has also changed.
Then there is Vucevic. If his draft prediction hadn't been too low this season, he would have participated in the draft with Lian Dao and others.
However, Vucevic also said that he will participate in the draft next season.
You must know that the accurate time in history when Vucevic participated in the draft was 2011.
Moreover, Dwight Lewis also wants to test the waters and participate in the draft this year.
Historically, Dwight did not participate in the draft.
And based on the record of USC this year, it is not impossible for Dwight to be selected in the second round.
While they were discussing, Tim pushed open the locker room door again.
They are going to a press conference.
Following Tim, Lian Dao suddenly realized that if Dwight also participated in the draft this year, the old man would only have Vucevic and Daniel left next year.
And maybe Daniel will try the water too.
Good guy, Vucevic will be the only one left next season. When this old man finds out, I don’t know if he will cry!
…
After the press conference ended, the group of them returned to the hotel where they settled in, and DeMar followed Gibson to the party.
Lian Dao didn't go, mainly because he received a call from China.
Yeah, mom’s phone number.
"You brat, did you let yourself go when you went to college? You didn't know how to call home for so long. Did you forget that you still have a mother..."
Familiar voice, familiar opening remarks.
Hearing this voice again made Lian Dao feel warm.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" She said so much, but found that her rebellious son didn't even refute, which made Zhao Ruoyun feel that something was wrong.
"Ah, it's okay. I just haven't heard my mother's voice for a long time. I was panicking for a while. I just wanted to listen for a while." Lian Dao calmed down and said in a flattering way.
"Bah, you just know how to tease your mother. Why don't you call me if you miss me?"
"Hey, isn't this your son entering the NCAA and playing in the competition?" Lian Dao saw that his mother was trying to get to the bottom of it, so he quickly found an excuse and said.
"Son, your dad and I saw your game. It was awesome. We didn't even think you had the skills to play basketball! When the old man saw it, he said you were bringing glory to the country!" Sure enough, all the parents in the world have done it. His children are proud of him.
Even Zhao Ruoyun, who dominates shopping malls, does not make exceptions.
"How is grandpa's health?" Lian Dao was shocked when he heard "old man".
One of Lian Dao's biggest regrets in his previous life was that he didn't have time to see the old man for the last time.
Because of the epidemic, he returned to China as soon as possible. This is also the thing that worries Lian Dao the most.
Fortunately, I made up for it in this life.
"Old man, your health is not bad. You often play chess with your old comrades in the nursing home."
Lian Dao and his mother, Zhao Ruoyun, chatted cordially about family matters. At the end of the conversation, Zhao Ruoyun originally wanted Lian Dao's father, Lian Guochang, to say a few words to his son.
But the stubborn old man read his newspaper seriously and completely ignored Zhao Ruoyun's urging. However, from the ears that kept pricking up from time to time, it could be seen that he also missed his son very much.
But once the image of a strict father is established, it is difficult to take it off.
I saw a clear title on the newspaper in my hand: "Lian Dao's Top Three NBA Draft Predictions"!
