NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 16 Excel Out of Lead
The main campus of the University of Connecticut is located in Storrs, Mansfield, while the law school is located in Hartford, the state capital.

This old prestigious school, founded in 1881, received funding from the state government in 1995, and it is expected that $10 billion will be used for the comprehensive construction of the campus.

Some parts of the main campus have already started construction. Li You has not been here many times in the past two years, because he spent most of his time in the law school.

Connecticut is very close to New York, which makes the local financial and insurance industries flourish, and most of the insurance companies in the United States are here.

Unlike the black players who went all the way to the black, Li You also left a way out for himself, and planned to choose the insurance method in the future.

The insurance law major of the University of Connecticut Law School ranks first in the United States. Even if Li You fails to play basketball, he can continue his studies and get out of the bottom society by earning a living in an insurance company.
On the afternoon of April 4, after participating in the championship celebration at the main campus, Li You, who returned to the law school, complained secretly:
"Evil capitalism! Even if you win the championship, you still have to pay back the loan!"

The apartment dormitory of the law school is also very distinctive. It was originally the seat of Hartford Theological Seminary, and the Gothic architecture is very popular.

The impoverished Li You saved the accommodation fee by relying on some scholarships and friends. The environment of the double room is not bad, with complete furniture and guaranteed privacy.

Roommate Alvin Mason is from New York, his parents are both engaged in the financial industry, and they come from a middle-class family.

The students of the law school were all a bit arrogant. When they saw Li You enter the door, they immediately joked loudly:

"I finally believe that you can enter the NBA, Li, and make a lot of money in the future, don't forget me!"

In Li You's view, Ai Wen with a cropped cut fits perfectly in the image of a school bully in American dramas.

This guy also likes baseball uniforms, is good at rugby, and is basically exactly the same as the school bully in the American drama, except he doesn't have a convertible.
Li You sat down on the sofa, took the coffee handed by his roommate, and said helplessly:
"If you are selected at the bottom, the salary is not as much as expected, 20 annual salary? After deducting the messy taxes, maybe you haven't earned as much as working!"

Ai Wen and Li You have been together for two years, and he also knows his future plans, but he is not optimistic about Li You's development in the NBA. The biggest problem is his skin color:

"At worst, we will retire after playing for a few years. With our talents, we will definitely be able to find a job with a good salary!"

"Believe me, the future belongs to finance and insurance, and we are standing at the inflection point of the times!"

Seeing Ai Wen who stood up and gave an impassioned speech, Li You took a sip of coffee and said unmoved:

"It's impossible to go to work, I don't want to work again in this life!"

Ivan shrugged his shoulders and stopped mentioning these topics. After a hey smile, he immediately encouraged and said:

"A few chicks from Columbia University are here tonight. It's rare for the men's basketball team to win the championship. I must have a good time tonight!"

There was a silver party every so often, and Li You felt that this roommate would be depressed after turning [-].

Last year, the Connecticut women's basketball team won the NCAA championship. This year, the men's basketball team also won the first championship in team history.

Celebrations are held in several campuses in turn. For such a group party, young people who love to be lively will not miss it.

It lasted for nearly a week before the upsurge brought by the championship barely subsided. Li You planned to take insurance law and insurance litigation as electives, and he was rushing to make up for the courses these days.

On Friday, April 4th, Li You finally made up the planned courses, while Ray Allen, a junior, was particularly relaxed. He just had to wait for the draft with peace of mind.

At this time, the NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the Bulls led by Michael Jordan have gone crazy!

Li You can basically hear discussions about the Bulls' record every day. Even fans who don't watch the NBA, in order to have something to talk about, they will watch a few regular season games, and finally follow suit and sigh:
"Michael Jordan is really good"

Ray Allen almost turned into a brain-dead fan at this time. During lunch, he did not forget to praise the mighty Bulls:
"67 wins and 9 losses, the Bulls won too easily, this is the most dominant team I have ever seen!"

The hapless Nets had no resistance against the Bulls. Michael Jordan only played 26 minutes and scored 17 points to win the game.
Li You also followed suit and watched last night's game. In his opinion, the strongest part of this Bulls team is defense. Once the old guys are strong, no team can withstand it:

"In the remaining few games, perhaps only the Pacers can win, 72 wins, just as I guessed!"

The agent who treated the guests, Mark Bartelstein, was in a good mood, watching the two young men discuss last night's game with a smile.

Ray Allen has a high probability of being selected by the Celtics. Li You's statistics have also gone up after entering the championship, and the situation of losing the selection will basically not happen.

Although the finals lowered the shooting percentage, compared with other point guards, the data is still crushed:

场均出场21分钟，拿到13.4分3.1篮板5.1助攻0.7抢断1.0失误；

He averaged 9.0 shots per game, shooting 59.7% from the field, 3.6 shots from beyond the three-point line, 46.7% from three-pointers, 1.4 free throws per game, and 100% from free throws.

After the finals of the Big East League, the data that Li You handed over led all No. 1 positions out of gear!

Mark Bartelstein feels better every time he sees this statistic.

The only thing that is debatable is that Li You didn't meet any really talented star players during the tournament
"Li, there is no need to wait until the joint trial training in mid-May. I have already received invitations to try out from many teams in the past few days."

"I plan to go to the nearest Knicks and Nets first. You have a fan base here, and New York is a big city!"

The draft market was better than he expected, Mark Bartelstein raised his eyebrows proudly, wanting to know about Li You's intentions.

Hearing the invitation from the Knicks, Li You was not surprised. He was close to the water, and he was prepared when he chose Connecticut:

"You are professional, I follow the arrangement and hope to get a big contract!"

Li You made such a straightforward statement, and Mark Bartelstein nodded in relief. The interests of the two parties are the same, and other issues will be discussed after the big contract is obtained.

Ray Allen also knew that his friend's draft price had risen a lot, and the data can directly reflect the player's strength. He held up the juice, smiled and blessed:
"I hope we can all get big contracts and play for our favorite teams!"

Li You raised his glass immediately, showing a look of anticipation:

"We're going to make a lot of money!"

The two cash cows are thriving. Mark Bartelstein is already smiling and thinking about the bright future. He heard Li You say again:
"Mark, maybe I need a professional nutritionist or trainer, and I need to readjust my body after entering the league."

Mark Bartelstein didn't care about these small requests at all, and immediately agreed.

While eating the vegetable salad, Li You complained helplessly in his heart:
"If you want to fully realize your newly acquired talents, you won't have to practice for another two and a half years."
