The main campus of the University of Connecticut is located in the Storrs district of Mansfield Township, while the law school is located in the state capital of Hartford.
This old and prestigious school, founded in 1881, received funding from the state government in 1995, and it is expected that US$1 billion will be used for comprehensive construction of the campus.
Construction has begun on some parts of the main campus. Li You has not been here much in the past two years because he spends most of his time in the law school.
Connecticut's proximity to New York has allowed the local financial and insurance industries to flourish, with most of the nation's insurance companies located here.
Unlike black players who go all the way to the dark side, Li You has also left himself a way out and plans to choose the insurance method in the future.
The insurance law major of the University of Connecticut School of Law is ranked first in the United States. Even if Li You fails in basketball, he can continue his studies and work in an insurance company to make a living in the lower class society...
On the afternoon of April 2, after attending the championship celebration on the main campus, Li You, who returned to the law school, secretly complained:
"Absolutely evil capitalism! Even if you win the championship, you still have to pay back the loan!"
The law school's apartment dormitories are also very unique. It was originally the site of Hartford Theological Seminary and its Gothic architecture is very popular.
The poor Li You saved accommodation fees with partial scholarships and friends. The double room was in a good environment with complete furniture and guaranteed privacy.
Roommate Alvin Mason is from New York, his parents are engaged in the financial industry, and he comes from a middle-class family.
The law students were all a bit arrogant. As soon as they saw Li You entering the door, they immediately joked loudly:
"I finally believe you can enter the NBA, Li. If you make a lot of money in the future, don't forget me!"
In Li You's opinion, Alvin, who has a short haircut, perfectly fits the image of a school bully in an American TV series.
This guy also likes baseball uniforms and is good at rugby. Except that he doesn't have a convertible, he is basically the same as the school bully in the bloody American TV series...
Li You sat down on the sofa, took the coffee from his roommate, and said helplessly:
"If you are selected at the bottom, your salary will not be as high as expected. An annual salary of 200,000? After deducting all the messy taxes, it may not be as much as what you earn at work!"
Ivan has been with Li You for two years and knows his future plans, but he is not optimistic about Li You's development in the NBA. Skin color is the biggest problem:
"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. We are standing at the turning point of the times!"
Looking at Ivan who stood up and gave an impassioned speech, Li You took a sip of coffee and said unmoved:
"It's impossible to work part-time. I don't want to work any more in this life!"
Ivan shrugged his shoulders and stopped mentioning these topics. After hey hey, he immediately encouraged and said:
"There are some girls from Columbia University coming over tonight. It's rare for the men's basketball team to win the championship. It's going to be a blast tonight!"
There is a bank party every now and then, and Li You feels that this roommate will become sluggish after he reaches thirty.
...
Last year, the Connecticut women's basketball team won the NCAA championship. This year, the men's basketball team also strived to win the first championship in team history.
Celebrations are held on several campuses in turn. Young people who love fun will not miss such a group party.
It lasted for nearly a week, and the excitement brought by the championship barely subsided. Li You planned to take insurance company law and insurance litigation as electives, and was busy catching up on courses these days.
On Friday, April 12, Li You finally made up for the planned lessons, while junior Ray Allen was particularly relaxed. He only had to wait for the draft.
At this time, the NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the Bulls led by Michael Jordan are going crazy!
Li You hears discussions about the Bulls' record basically every day. Even fans who don't watch the NBA will watch a few regular season games in order to have something to talk about, and finally follow suit and sigh:
"Michael Jordan is really awesome..."
Ray Allen almost turned into a crazy fan at this time. During lunch, he did not forget to praise the powerful Bulls:
"With 67 wins and 9 losses, the Bulls won so easily. This is the most dominant team I have ever seen!"
The unlucky Nets had no resistance against the Bulls. Michael Jordan only played 26 minutes and won the game with 17 points...
Li You also followed suit and watched last night's game. In his opinion, the strongest point of this Bulls team is defense. When the old guys turn up the intensity, no team can withstand it:
"In the remaining games, maybe only the Pacers can win. 72 wins, just like I guessed!"
The agent who was treating the guests, Mark Bartelstein, was in a happy mood and watched the two young men discussing 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 skyrocketed after entering the championship, and losing the selection will basically not happen.
Although the shooting percentage was lowered in the finals, compared with other point guards, the statistics are still crushing:
Averaged 21 minutes per game, 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.0 turnovers;
He averaged 9.0 shots per game, shooting 59.7% from the field, 3.6 shots from outside the three-point line, 46.7% from three-point range, 1.4 free throws per game, and 100% free throw shooting.
After the Big East Conference finals, the data that Li You handed over led all No. 1 positions!
Mark Bartelstein feels good every time he sees this data.
The only thing worth debating is that during the tournament, Li You didn't meet any truly talented star players...
"Li, you don't have to wait for the joint trial in mid-May. I have received trial invitations 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 football market!"
The draft situation was better than he expected. Mark Bartelstein raised his eyebrows proudly, wanting to know Li You's intentions.
Li You was not surprised when he heard the invitation from the Knicks. First come first, first come first. He had been prepared when he chose Connecticut:
"You are a professional, I will follow the arrangements and hope to get a big contract!"
Li You made such a straightforward statement, and Mark Bartelstein nodded happily. The interests of both parties were consistent. We can discuss other issues after the big contract is obtained.
Ray Allen also knew that his friend's draft price had increased a lot, and the data could directly reflect the player's strength. He raised his juice, smiled and blessed:
"I hope we can all get big contracts and play for our favorite teams!"
Li You immediately raised his glass and showed a look of anticipation:
"We're going to make a lot of money!"
The two money trees were growing vigorously. Mark Bartelstein was already smiling and thinking about a bright future. He heard Li You say again:
"Mark, maybe I need a professional nutritionist or trainer. I need to readjust my physical condition after entering the league."
Mark Bartelstein didn't care about these small requests at all and agreed immediately.
As he ate the vegetable salad, Li You complained helplessly:
"If you want to fully realize your newly acquired talent, you won't have to practice for another two and a half years..."
