Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 117: Let the World Focus on Orlando

In the final fourth quarter of the All-Star, Li Wan went up again to cooperate with Kobe, played two empty connections, the Lakers reporters on the scene, constantly pressed the shutter, the happy expression was not disguised, the post-game report, even if it is not out, can already be seen from their appearance: Kobe and his “Pippen”.

At the end of the game, Li Wan, as a starter, only played 16.5 minutes, in the starter, only Yao Ming had less time than him, and Yao Ming played 12.3 minutes.

In the end, Li Wan ended his first All-Star weekend trip with 8 points, 6 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal.

The All-Star MVP belongs to LeBron James.

27 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds.

In front of Chris Paul, take away the victory.

This “banana boat” is flipped.

When the beep sounded, Chris Paul rushed up to give a “cannon fist warning”, and LeBron James giggled to dodge. This is his second All-Star weekend and he won the MVP…

What is the “chosen son”!

But……

After the game, the reporters ran to interview Li Wan one by one.

The sudden exposure of the relationship made him the biggest focus of tonight.

Li Wan was very apprehensive, not because the reporter asked how the two people developed, but because he was afraid that the news of his transaction would be exposed at this time.

Then tonight, he won’t want to sleep.

Fortunately, the All-Star Weekend interview is also time-limited, and when the time comes, the reporters have to leave if they want to.

When Li Wan returned to the dressing room, the small room that was still lively in the morning was now empty and quiet.

This is probably the only quiet place right now.

With a large number of reports, Li Wan’s relationship with Taylor also spread throughout the United States overnight, and also exploded in the United States.

Odom immediately opened the phone to Li Wan: “Man, Taylor’s mysterious boyfriend is really you?” ”

Kim Kardashian was eating steak and singing, and suddenly saw Li Wan and Swift publicly dating on the All-Star Weekend, and the whole person was stunned.

Because of the show conflict, this All-Star weekend, Kardashian’s “Five Golden Flower” did not rub the lights of New Orleans.

I didn’t expect it…

Li Wan just let Swift rob him!

Two days ago, this girl confessed on the spot at the Grammy, and she also saw the news, but she never expected that this girl confessed to Li Wan!

At the moment, such a big heat has all allowed her to occupy alone…

A day without Swift is a good day for the Kardashians!

She looked up at the other side of the long table, where Jenna sat down, and saw that she had been looking down and chopping steak with a knife and fork, and she should have known this.

Jenna has been a bit of a nerd recently, and the day before yesterday she deliberately stayed in front of the TV and watched the Rookie Challenge, but she didn’t expect it… It’s over before it starts.

In addition, in a high-end office building in Los Angeles, Ivanka, wearing professional clothes, looked at the working coffee machine spinning and stirring, thought about it, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Wan, Just one word: Congratulations!

While these women digested Li Wan’s romance, a blockbuster news came out of the league late at night: the Lakers, Magic and Grizzlies reached a three-way deal.

The Lakers sent Li Wan, the ’08 first-round pick and the signing rights of Aaron McGee, Radmanovic, Marcus Williams, Chris Meim, Karl and Marc Gasol, and got Paul Gasol, Ariza, Redick, Nelson Jr.;

The Grizzlies sent Paul Gasol, a second-round pick, a first-round pick from the Lakers ’08, the Magic ’08 and ’10 first-round picks, these players from the Lakers, and Mark Gasol’s signing rights;

The Magic sent Ariza, Redick, and Nelson Jr. to get a second-round draft pick from Li Wan and the Grizzlies;

……

The deal came out at 2:45 a.m.

Li Wan had just finished his business with Swift, took a look at his mobile phone, and Taryn called him several times, but he muted it, and he didn’t want to suddenly make a call when he was about to do something.

These missed calls show that his decision was the right one.

Glancing at Swift, who was still slowing down, Li Wan returned the phone, and as soon as he connected, Taryn said the most important thing: “The transaction has been reported!” ”

Li Wan nodded and did not say anything.

I don’t know if I already knew that I was going to be traded before, Li Wan’s heart was very calm at the moment: “What time will you arrive tomorrow?” ”

“It’ll be around 8 o’clock…”

“Okay! ”

After briefly speaking, when Li Wan turned around, Taylor had already sat up and wrapped the quilt around his body.

But…… Surrounded by loneliness.

She looked at Li Wan with a star-like light in her eyes.

“Let’s go, take a bath…”

Before she could say anything, Li Wan reached out and picked her up.

With a soft sigh, when Taylor reacted, his head was already leaning on Li Wan’s arms.

Frankly speaking, 1.80 meters Taylor Swift is difficult to give people the feeling of a small woman, even if her skeleton is not too big for a 180cm woman, but her body is here.

At the moment, it seems somewhat delicate.

The battle between the two of them was over, but there was gradually more noise outside.

The time went back to 2:45 a.m.

When Li Wan learned that his deal was officially concluded, Rosenthal Abby Rosenthal, the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, looked at a freshly baked New York Times in front of him, carefully turned a few pages, felt that the quality was passed, and asked the assistant to take it down to prepare for printing, and in the next 3 hours, the newspaper that passed the review will be printed into countless copies and sent to various states in the United States, becoming one of the ways for people from all walks of life to get information and pass the time in the morning.

It’s just that the assistant has just gone out with the newspaper when the phone in the corner of the table rang.

He instinctively frowned, but his hand did not hesitate at all and reached for the microphone.

There will be no more phone calls at this point in time.

The reason for the call, more than 80% of the reasons, there is only one…

Something big happened!

“Are you sure? ”

This time, there were no exceptions, and Rosenthal, who was confirmed, quickly retrieved the assistant.

“Hurry, inform the editors of the sports department, within half an hour, I want to see a report on Li Wan’s transaction, detailed enough!” ”

After that, he walked to the coffee machine and expertly brewed a cup of extra strong bitter coffee.

He knew very well that he probably didn’t have to sleep tonight!

A big war for him began…

Editor-in-chief like him, and many more!

Fortunately, such things are nothing new for the industry, and they worked overtime to get their newspapers delivered to various newsstands and some newspaper selling agencies before dawn.

“Shock, this season’s free market whistle big deal, the Lakers sent Li Wan! 》

“Li Wan was sent away, just to win the championship? The Lakers fought hard! 》

“Send away the phenomenal newcomer, Kobe and the Lakers, finally chose now!” 》

……

With these media reports, on January 15, the first day after the All-Star Game, the American fryer was over!

In previous years, after the All-Star weekend ended and the free trade market closed, there would always be some amazing big deals, and NBA fans were ready to “eat melons”.

But I didn’t expect it…

This melon is too big!

The Lakers selected the rookie with the 19th pick in the first round of last year’s draft, scored double-digit points in a single quarter many times, and could score 52 points in a single game, the second-youngest “Mr. 50” in history, just won the MVP trophy in the rookie challenge, and the phenomenal super rookie Li Wan who entered the All-Star start in his first rookie season in Los Angeles in more than a decade…

Was traded to Orlando!

Who would have thought?

No one could have imagined!

You know, before last night’s All-Star weekend ended, the Lakers’ team reporter just uploaded a photo of Li Wan and Kobe on the court on his personal Twitter.

– Kobe and “Pippen”!

In just one hour, the tweet had thousands of comments.

Almost all Lakers fans…

As a result, when I woke up, the photo was still there, Kobe was still there, and “Pippen” was lost…

Management…

I*you first!

An overseas Chinese compatriot with Sichuan blood on his body stood at the door of the Toyota Arena early in the morning, holding a signboard, and on the signboard, it was this classic hometown saying.

This also represents the minds of most Lakers fans.

They didn’t see what the Lakers gained, they only saw this sentence: Li Wan was traded to Orlando…

Such a newcomer, you are also willing to trade?

Nima!

Kupchek wouldn’t be a Magic famous, would he?

Countless Lakers fans quickly rallied at the Toyota Arena and formed a sizeable protest group.

They asked Kupchak to give an explanation immediately, why trade Li Wan?

Can’t you trade other people?

Bynum’s talent, the outside world has blown into a “little shark”, can’t you trade him?

Kupchek in the general manager’s office soon learned about it, his godless eyes with obvious dark circles, and he didn’t sleep all night after the deal was handed in yesterday.

He knew that there would definitely be a big disturbance.

But so soon there were fans running to the door of the stadium to make trouble, he really, really didn’t expect it.

He had anticipated the seriousness of the matter, but now it seems that Li Wan’s weight in the hearts of Lakers fans is much higher than he thought… A lot!

Soon, major media in Los Angeles also began to demand Kupchek’s explanation.

Most of the opinion: The Lakers are not without other chips, why must they trade with Li Wan…

Doesn’t Odom work?

Doesn’t Bynum work?

Kupchak was tempted to say something; As far as you are smart, you think of it!

Haven’t I thought about it?

I wonder if Odom and Bynum can also be traded?

Can……

Others don’t want it!

Others will recognize Li Wan, and if they don’t take Li Wan out, then there is no need to talk!

What can he do?

He was desperate!

The huge public opinion made Kupchek feel “under pressure”, and at this moment he was like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, like a cattle in the throat… But at this time, he can’t call the boss either.

Only incompetent subordinates will trouble the boss to stand up and solve the problem at this time.

What does the boss give money for?

So he called Kobe Bryant…

While Los Angeles is making trouble, Memphis is also making trouble.

Chris Wallace felt that he had made a lot of money, and specifically asked the media to disclose more details, so that the entire Memphis fan fell under his trading ability.

Outcome……

“Does Chris Wallace have a brain problem? Newcomers with 52 points per game don’t want Nima’s 3 first-round picks? Are you not enough newcomers, or do you feel that your vision is vicious, and you can fish another Li Wan? ”

Memphis Overseas Chinese: “You are really an old lady who went into the bed and gave the grandfather a whole smile!” Can Li Wan not want? ”

“Memphis has this stupid fork, it will never rise, I said this, God bless this stupid fork to die!” ”

A scolding!

Chris Wallace tried to find some fans in the scolding who were “as sober and intelligent as he was”.

It’s a pity that it failed, under the relevant news, thousands of comments, he was stunned and didn’t find a single one to praise him…

You know a ball!

He was still angry!

Li Wan’s playing style, that is with Kobe for containment, without Kobe, who knows what he can play?

Aren’t draft picks fragrant?

That’s three first-round picks!

Add to that the more than $10 million in salary space vacated by Pau Gasol’s departure.

If you don’t get it right this summer, you can catch a big fish, plus “Future Jordan” OJ Mayo…

Grizzly Championship!

Chris Hules thought of a bright future, and looked at these invectives, and suddenly he was not angry.

Fools of Memphis, get ready to line up to apologize to me!

As for Orlando…

Gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are sounding!

Orlando’s weather is always bright, but waking up this morning and seeing the reported Magic fans felt brighter today than ever!

Otis Smith is here!

I was able to snatch people from the Lakers!

This is their assessment of Otis’s wave of operations…

The “Shark” westward trip to Los Angeles that year broke the hearts of many Magic fans.

Although there is also a factor of management brain damage.

But leaving aside the brain-dead Magic management, doesn’t the Lakers have a little bit of responsibility?

In the big city, do whatever you want, all kinds of temptations!

Who can resist the temptation of the big city?

Is……

Chill the air!

Especially after Shaq successfully established a dynasty with the Lakers, they were even more envious and jealous, and then hate!

They feel that the Lakers robbed the “dynasty” that should have belonged to Orlando!

Finally……

Finally!

Finally, one day, we also snatched their treasure!

Li Wan…

As long as you follow the NBA fans this season, it is impossible not to know the supernova!

Otis brought him to Orlando!

The Orlando Sentinel said: “This one deal alone is enough to put Otis Smith at the top of the Magic general manager list!” ”

This deal really made a lot of money!

Ariza is averaging 11.3 minutes per game with the Magic this season, and Redick is about the same as him, averaging 13.2 minutes per game…

It’s all leftovers.

Sending it out won’t have any effect on the Magic’s main roster.

Not even a chip.

Of the players sent out, there’s only one person who really has an impact on the Magic’ current roster: Jamil Nelson, the Magic’s starting No. 1 this season, averaging nearly 30 minutes of playing time per game.

However, Li Wan himself is also the number one position, since he came, there was no place for Nelson in the team…

So it still doesn’t matter!

As for the two first-round picks, they are even less desirable, with the current Magic roster, Li Wan’s arrival will definitely make up for their last shortcoming, this lineup lasts for 3 years, there is no problem at all, these two first-round picks, in the end, may also be the first round 25 pick or even lower, this rookie, it is better to block it with a second-round pick…

Otis, the Magic management forever No.1!

In addition to these three, one state has also made a big move because of the deal.

New york!

Early in the morning, seeing the news that Li Wan was traded to the Magic, the New York fans stopped doing it at that time, and ran to the perimeter of Madison Square one by one and shouted:

“Donnie Walsh, you’re a ****, what the hell are you doing after so long? ”

“Fxxk You, the New York Knicks don’t need people who do nothing! ”

“Li Wan’s deal, why not involved, Downey is the next Thomas!” ”

……

Walsh……

What a fool!

No, is there something wrong with the New York fans?

I have only been in office for a month, and the “mess” left to me by the previous term has not yet been sorted out, how can I rebuild it?

I just shuffled the cards in my hand, and I haven’t sorted them out yet, and you actually asked me why I didn’t throw a “bomb”?

Well, I have to know I have a bomb first!

Empty cannons?

When New Yorkers dig their ears, they more or less dig out their brains!

Walsh, who was ready to play hard for the Knicks, fully realized how difficult it was to sit in the position of president of the New York Knicks in his first month in office.

Domestically, at the same time it also exploded!

“I’m going, Li Wan went to Orlando? ”

“Normal, Kobe wants to win the championship is crazy, Bynum is not used, what can I do? The Lakers are estimated to be suffering now. ”

“My LA playful combo! Yesterday, I also transferred the photo of Lakers reporter Kobe Bryant and Li Wan cooperating on the court, but I didn’t expect it to become history so soon! ”

“I feel like the Magic are taking off! Howard can’t play except Dayao, anyone can touch it, Tekoglu is okay with everything, Li Wan’s joining, this team will not directly become a championship? ”

“Ten years of magic fans, uninvited! ”

“The old magic fan said that the brain-dead management will eventually screw up everything, don’t believe it, walk and see! ”

“Open post, rationally analyze Li Wan’s wave of transfer prospects! ”

……

Domestic fans are also shocked, especially Li Wan and Kobe fans, even more distressed, during the All-Star Weekend, because of the continuous marketing of the Los Angeles media, Li Wan and Kobe Bryant have an additional name in China: Jordan and Pippen in Los Angeles.

There are good deeds directly based on the homophony, give them a variety of combination names, such as “playful (jopi) combination”, “can (corey) combination”, snake lee “combination”…

I didn’t expect it!

Not a shot was fired, the group disbanded …

This is really…

I thought of Kobe giving birth to Li Wan, no, it was Kobe and Li Wan who won the championship!

“Wow, it’s almost all about you in the papers! ”

Taylor and Li Wan also woke up at this time, and informed the waiter that breakfast and newspaper had been delivered, Taylor flipped through it, and the headlines were almost occupied by the two of them.

Li Wan occupies a more ruthless page because of the transaction!

The popularity is so high that Swift actually feels like she is in love with a big star…

“Hmm… Exactly, if you miss me, read more newspapers…”

After breakfast, Swift had to go back to Los Angeles to prepare for the concert, and her tour of the three major cities in the United States officially began in two days.

Her gaze followed Li Wan’s words, moved away from the newspaper, looked at Li Wan, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Taylor laughed and made a “whoosh” sound.

After Li Wan confirmed the relationship, the number of times he teased her became significantly more…

The number of times her heart is beating is more frequent than before the relationship was established…

After breakfast, Taylor’s agent came to pick her up.

Li Wan had seen it a few times before, but he had never greeted this fat woman. This time it can be regarded as a formal acquaintance.

“You two, it’s really exhausting me! ”

Looking at the agent’s haggard face, it was obvious that he was much busier than Taylor yesterday.

“Girl, say goodbye to your little boyfriend, go back this time, you can work with peace of mind, right? ”

With a meaningful expression, coupled with a slightly complaining tone, the agent’s words made Taylor a little embarrassed to hide behind Li Wan’s back. Seeing her subconsciously relying on Li Wan, the agent had a complicated feeling of marrying her daughter.

Taylor turned around and said goodbye to Li Wan three times in one step, and soon Taryn also came, Li Wan asked him to get something before, he had to send it, and the first time he went to Orlando, he had to accompany him as an agent.

Li Wan’s mobile phone gradually began to “crackle”.

First, Conley and the three of them called one after another, wanting to comfort Li Wan, in their opinion, this transaction happened suddenly, Li Wan must be very sad.

“Dude, in his rookie season, when can you change Marc Gasol? ”

Marc Gasol’s signing rights, commonly known as “tie-heads”…

Li Wan’s words dispelled their concerns and successfully made them send a gesture symbolizing friendship.

Odom, who had just called last night, called again, and compared to last night with surprise, his tone was not only surprised, but also a little reluctant.

“Man, do a good job, this alliance belongs to your stage is big! ”

Li Wan thanked him for taking care of him during this time.

Although Odom himself thinks that Li Wan is his younger brother, this “big brother” is indeed very good to him, when he had a conflict with Artest, and Odom also mediated.

He is the best teammate the Lakers have ever had for him in the early days.

Then there’s Kwame Brown, whose tone is a little more complicated.

The Lakers originally had the idea of trading him, but since he became tough, these ideas have gradually diminished, and this such a big deal did not send him away, but chose to stay.

These changes all happened with the help of Li Wan.

Since entering the league in ’01, Kwame Brown has not had much trouble, and if asked to choose a nobleman in his career, he would choose Li Wan.

He never imagined that after an All-Star weekend, the nobles would become former teammates.

“Go for it, Kwame, remember, you’re actually strong, much stronger than you think! ”

After Li Wan said this, Kwame Brown was on the verge of crying, choked and hung up the phone.

Where can he go to find a “good brother” who cares about him so much?

He really…

So gentle!

I cried to death!

Then Vujasić and others also sent text messages or phone calls…

Li Wan could only sigh; Look at our popularity!

What he didn’t expect was that Fisher actually called: “Man, I’m sorry to hear such news, bless you…”

Answered lightly.

Li Wan didn’t believe that Fisher would really feel sorry.

If the Lakers choose someone who hears that he was being traded, the first reaction will be to smile…

Li Wan will definitely choose Fisher.

And he really didn’t guess wrong.

Fisher, who hung up the phone, couldn’t contain his smile again.

Dealed!

Li Wan was actually traded!

Hahahahaha!

Although he still has to compete with Nelson, but this guy’s game video, Fisher flipped through, he felt that this kind of “reckless people”, really do not necessarily understand what is called “triangle tactics”!

Fisher is not very jealous, he is ready to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!

At 9 o’clock in the morning, Li Wan, who had packed up, followed Taryn and officially embarked on the plane to Orlando.

Meanwhile, Toyota Arena in Los Angeles.

An impromptu press conference officially opened, and only two people sat above to answer questions, one Kupchak and the other Kobe.

After the uproar caused by the huge shock, the Los Angeles media gradually came to their senses and began to analyze the deal made by Kupchek.

I have to say, you can play A+!

Needless to say, Pau Gasol has proven in 6 years that he is not suitable for the big boss position, but he has also shown his versatility, he is currently one of the best power forwards in the league, except that he can’t be the boss, there is nothing else.

A more important point…

He has a good temper and can coordinate the atmosphere within the team.

This kind of partner who suits Kobe Bryant from the court to the court, this league really can’t find a few.

In addition, a few newcomers from the Magic are really good, especially suitable for the current Lakers.

Ariza can protect the Lakers’ flanks well, and his physical qualities and defensive ability on the wings are not currently available to the Lakers; Nelson’s momentum in the No. 1 position just made up for the lack of firepower caused by Li Wan’s departure; Add to that Redick, a decidedly more reliable pitcher than Vujasić.

This is a wave of undoubtedly big reinforcements!

It is worth saying that this transaction has happened until now, and the three-way media city where the Lakers, Magic and Grizzlies are located all believe that only from the transaction level, their own team is earned!

Of course, on the Memphis side, the attitude of the fans is diametrically opposed to that of the media and the Grizzlies management.

Fans on the Lakers’ side cannot deny that the experts have analyzed very reasonably, and the Lakers have indeed ushered in a big strengthening…

But……

The question is…

Why can’t you be happy?

Including, the scene of the press conference, the atmosphere is also slightly depressed.

Bryant didn’t have much opinion on the deal, nor did he comment too much on Li Wan’s departure, he only said one sentence: “From now on, for me and the Lakers… The championship is the only result, and any other ending is a failure! ”

Fight a battle in the back, break the cauldron and sink the boat!

This is what most media figures out from Kobe’s words.

That’s not an exaggeration.

The Lakers have not selected any impressive rookies since they acquired Kobe Bryant in the draft in ’96 by trade, and Li Wan is the first in 11 years.

And, just talking about the performance of the rookie season…

He is far ahead of Kobe!

Sending him away is tantamount to giving up the future, this is not a battle against the water, so what kind of choice is there to fight behind the water?

“The plane will land at Orlando International Airport in 10 minutes. The crew is collecting carpets and headphones, please help collect them. Today’s temperature is 21.3 degrees. The weather is cloudy…”

“Crew please sit, we’re going to land now…”

“Please fasten your seatbelt until the signal lights go out, please sit in your seat until the plane comes to a complete stop, please do not open the cabin above your head, thank you!” ”

After a series of briefings from the flight attendant’s aunt, Li Wan turned his head to look out the window, the plane had stopped taxiing and lowered the pedal.

Orlando……

It’s arrived!

Li Wan took out a blue baseball cap from his backpack, which read: Let the world focus on Orlando!

This is what he asked Tyron to prepare a few days ago: the entire design, including the lettering, was designed by Li Wan and bought out the copyright of this hat.

It cost about $3,000.

You get what you pay for, so the design is actually not very good …

But all Li Wan wanted was a hat with the words “Let the world focus on Orlando.”

If the goal is just to earn tens of millions of knives…

Li Wan believes that Orlando can definitely provide him with such a market.

It was also the first money-making plan he thought of, using his fame to sell peripherals.

This transaction is a small experiment for him, he made about 10,000 hats, the cost of 30 knives, sell 100 knives, if you sell them all, remove the cost of hats and design copyrights, he can probably earn 690,000!

That’s the profit of the periphery…

And this kind of thing doesn’t require him to work hard at all.

If the hat sells well this time, he will continue to launch new peripherals.

Well……

Others are still wondering whether the deal is a blessing or a curse for him.

He is already thinking about making money on this deal!

After getting off the plane and passing through the passenger tunnel, before Taryn got on the plane, he learned through his connections that many reporters were already waiting at the door of the passenger tunnel.

Li Wan was also prepared…

Just when he saw the line coming to pick up the airport…

He was still stunned for a moment.

Not because of the sound of photos ringing around, but because the pick-up gate is full of Magic fans holding posters and banners, and there are at least three or four hundred at the pick-up gate.

The black pressed human head blocked the pick-up port full.

They are all Magic fans who spontaneously ran to pick up the plane after learning that Li Wan had come to Orlando on a plane…

Li Wan’s arrival excited the media throughout the city, and also excited them!

They can’t wait to meet Li Wan, the hottest super newcomer after the summer of ’07!

Now as soon as they met, they instantly felt…

Well deserved!

Most fans were immediately attracted by Li Wan’s handsome and sunny appearance, and then attracted by the English written on his hat…

Focus the world on Orlando!

Some words, on some occasions, as soon as they are said or seen, will make people feel numb scalp and goosebumps.

Right now……

Li Wan is the same.

All the reporters were waiting to ask him what it was like to leave the Lakers, what expectations the Magic had, and what worries he had.

Right now……

No need to ask, Li Wan gave an answer!

My arrival… It’s to focus the world on Orlando!

In fact, although he hasn’t done anything yet, he does…

NBA fans around the world were waiting for news about his arrival in Orlando.

These reporters kept taking pictures, and at this moment they seemed to forget that they were reporters, but instead like awakening the “blood of photographers”, they shot wildly at Li Wan’s various angles and postures.

I don’t know, I thought which international superstar was shooting the poster here!

Otis’s eyes were glowing.

He would never look at a man with such eyes, he was afraid that others would misunderstand.

But at this moment, regardless of whether others will misunderstand or not, whether Li Wan will misunderstand or not, the fanaticism in his eyes is undisguised!

He stepped forward and shook hands with Li Wan solemnly and enthusiastically.

“Welcome to Orlando, Lee, this city has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

When the hands of the two people clasped together, the fans who came to pick up the airport could no longer contain their mood and let out a huge cheer.

“Trash Talk”!

The second youngest “Mr. 50” in history!

Squeeze out Allen Iverson to become this year’s Western starter!

This phenomenal newcomer, he finally came…

With the slogan “Let the world focus on Orlando”!

At this moment, not to mention other Orlando fans, only these three hundred fans who came to pick up the airport, they believe that the Magic team will be great!

The press conference announcing the official joining was held in the afternoon.

In the morning, Otis enthusiastically took Li Wan to familiarize himself with the environment at the Amway Arena.

This is also an old arena, originally called TD Waterhouse Center, starting last year, Amway has become the new title of the stadium for four years and $1.5 million.

The stadium was renamed Amway Arena.

From this naming right, you can also see how difficult it is for small city teams to make a living!

With less than 400,000 sponsorships a year, you can have naming rights, which is simply impossible in a big city.

But in Orlando, it is extremely difficult to get such sponsorship…

The same situation is Milwaukee, the Chinese market behind Yi Jianlian, which has hardly helped the Bucks to pull sponsorship, which is too small for sponsors to be as happy as paying the Rockets.

The current performance of the main Yi Jianlian also makes people sweat for him.

Even if you don’t play well, Yao Ming didn’t perform very well at the beginning of the first year, the key … He is not impatient*!

Who knows when the Bucks will give up…

Almost turned, Otis took him to the training gym for a circle, the Magic team is now in the team training, the fat face of the yelling “Coach Anzai” on the sidelines is sweaty, and he seems not satisfied with this morning’s training.

However, when he saw Li Wan, he still showed a warm smile: “Welcome to the Magic Team, Li…”

Li Wan also responded with a smile on his face, and by the way, he glanced at his new teammates on the court.

His arrival brought the training to a sudden halt.

Howard, who grinned like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old doll, waved at him for the first time, and he also smiled and nodded in response.

When he was still on the plane in the morning, Howard sent him a welcome text message, but Li Wan got off the plane and found it on the way to him, and gave him a “thank you”, it is estimated that he was already training at that time and did not see it.

Tekoglu’s expression was not so good-looking.

No wonder, there was such a little friction on the field, it was impossible to see him smile when he came.

But coming out of the Lakers, Li Wan didn’t care about Tkogru’s level of. Kobe, Bynum including “Kamen Rider” Fisher, where is it not harder than him?

Take your time…

He loves being friends with!

“Mr. Billion” Lewis and the others had quite normal expressions, some vigilant eyes, Li Wan knew without guessing, they were all players who competed for the same position as him.

After staying here for a while, Otis took him to the locker room again and personally pointed him to his place, not the original Nelson one, but the one next to Howard.

His position, like Howard and Lewis, is the most doorway position, and there is a lot of space. This also represents Otis’s recognition of Li Wan in his heart.

“Shirt number or 91 number? ”

“Hmm…” Li Wan thought for a moment, “Let’s change the number 23!” ”

The Magic may also have this benefit, the team history has not retired any stars, so Li Wan can choose the number at will.

Otis’s gaze was slightly startled, a little stunned.

First got off the plane with the hat of “Let the world focus on Orlando”, and then changed his number to the number 23, Li Wan’s thoughts, that is the heart of Kevin Durant – everyone knows!

There are not many newcomers who have such personality and ambition and dare to show it…

He didn’t say anything more, indicating that he was ready immediately.

At noon, Li Wan had lunch accompanied by Otis and rested for a while, and when Li Wan took out his mobile phone, he saw the message Taylor sent him, she had returned to Los Angeles, and also took a photo, a sleepy little expression, and a hairstylist who was performing various operations above her head.

Send a picture of your hair?

Well……

Fortunately, Lao Tzu is PG Wan…

Fight poison with poison, belong to yes!

At 2 p.m., the Magic officially held a press conference to announce Li Wan’s joining.

Li Wan put on the hat that “put the world in focus on Orlando” again, plus the Magic No. 23 jersey he displayed in his hand.

The reporters here in the field immediately became excited, and each of them was like Dong Yong who saw the seven fairies bathing…

Then he answered various questions as usual, and when asked what he thought about the Lakers trading himself, Li Wan said lightly: “I’m a person who has always just looked forward, this is a new beginning, and there is no point in discussing the past!” ”

When asked what he wanted to express when he changed the hat on his head from No. 91 to No. 23, Li Wan smiled at the reporter: “If you don’t even know what this means…”

He glanced at the reporter’s work card: “All I can say is that ESPN’s selection criteria really suck!” ”

The reporter sat down awkwardly, and another reporter stood up with an excited expression, he was a local Orlando reporter: “The whole city of Orlando is excited about this deal, Lee, what do you think you can bring to this team?” ”

“Ariza, Nelson, Redick…” Li Wan read out the names of the players that the Magic gave away in the deal, and then said, “What they can’t bring to this team, is what I can bring to this team…”

……

At the same time as the press conference began, the Lakers were also holding a press conference to introduce the four new players who joined the team after the All-Star Break.

The atmosphere at the scene is still very depressing.

It is worth saying that this time, Popovich did not say to the media that “this is a naked robbery”, and even he clearly knows what the Lakers are sending in order to get this gang.

The deal is really profitable, and at the same time the Lakers are losing money in this deal…

Bryant, who was training, glanced at the time and knew there was a press conference outside, his dribbling sharply accelerated, and then a signature mid-range backward jumper threw the ball in.

The ball goes into the net…

Instead, his gaze became more solemn…

Win……

This season must be won!

He hasn’t sent any text messages to Li Wan so far, at least until he won the championship, he didn’t have the courage to text Li Wan.

The Lakers’ press conference ended quickly, and when the “blonde” appeared in the arena, Kobe Bryant looked at his figure, and a little fire flashed in his eyes.

Even this man who was exchanged for Li Wan…

He also has to admit that this is a guy worth changing!

Paulo Gasol…

“Welcome to the Lakers! ”

Bryant reached out and gave him a high five.

“Snap”.

The Lakers are officially here for a new era!

When Kobe Bryant’s “Sichuan Opera” changed his mind, Li Wan also ended the press conference and hung the Magic No. 23 jersey in front of the cabinet door, and he stared at it for a long time.

The Magic team was not established for a long time, it was officially established only in 1989, and so far … It’s only been 19 years.

But in the past 19 years, they have done a lot of brain-dead things!

The two most classic things, refusing to give Shaq O’Neal a top salary, and also sending out a vote among fans to ask “whether Shaq is worth 20 million a year”; Refusing to let Tim Duncan take his family on a plane…

But what normal management can do, they don’t do!

But whatever normal management can’t do, they don’t fall behind!

And later with Howard’s tearing…

This team is truly a “superstar killer”!

Li Wan never thought that he would play for this team one day, given the past, and the future he knows, anyway, it is really difficult for him to be loyal to this team.

He had already thought that if something went wrong, he would definitely be the first to run away with a bucket.

And not a big city…

In the same sentence, if Orlando is changed to New York, Li Wan feels that he can make at least six or seven million! And here, Li Wan feels that it is a good situation to sell 10,000 tops, sell another 10,000 tops, and earn 1.5 million…

This is the city gap!

Less money earned, and the life was not good, staying here is sick.

This is like a woman, even if she is not beautiful, she also likes to do it, which man can stand this?

Of course, this is all an afterthought, the first game for the Magic has not yet been played, and he is still looking forward to his life on this team.

At the end of the Magic practice game, Stan Van Gundy asked the staff to come to him for a set-up meeting for tomorrow’s home game.

Although he did not train with the team today, he still has to play tomorrow night’s home game against the San Antonio Spurs. Originally, Otis agreed to let him rest for two days, but Li Wan refused, there was no need. And there are certainly plenty of Orlando fans looking forward to seeing him at home tomorrow!

He was very touched by so many people coming to pick up today, and for the sake of these lovely fans, he had to play tomorrow night!

When he arrived, the others had just finished training and were walking in pairs around Stan Van Gundy and the assistant coach.

Stan Van Gundy’s teaching assistant is also a celebrity, the “Jordan Best Background Board” Ewing in the 90s!

To tease Howard, he came…

They were stunned when they saw Li Wan, wearing the No. 23 shirt, appear at the training ground. ——Yes, Li Wan thought about it and changed his shirt. It’s respect for everyone…

It’s just that he sees more, and it’s everyone’s surprise at him.

Ewing was even more like an electric shock, shaking a little.

Number 23rd…

This is the number he sees now and can’t look directly at with a normal heart.

Others…

It was more because Li Wan was surprised that he wore this jersey.

Stan Van Gundy deserves to be the head coach, first reacted, slapped the tactical board on his hand to focus on him, and then he began to arrange the schedule for tomorrow’s game.

Stan Van Gundy didn’t twist, and despite not yet training, he put Lee Wan in the starting No. 1 position.

The other four, center Howard, No. 4 Lewis, No. 3 Techoglu, No. 2 Keith Bogans…

Just by listening to the name, the number two position of the Magic team is a short board.

The original Magic also brought in Michael Pitrus this summer to replace Bogans.

Well?

If this deal happens again this summer…

Doesn’t that mean that Li Wan will be on the same team as his draft template?

Interesting ha!

After the explanation, Stan Van Gundy dismissed everyone, Li Wan went back to change his clothes and left directly, and Tekoglu looked at his back with disdain in his eyes.

Originally, it was not pleasing to the eyes of the guy, and today it is still such a big name. At least in his eyes!

He decided to make a whole Li Wan tomorrow!

Let’s have an NBA welcome ceremony…

Is this guy still a rookie?

He told Howard about the plan, Howard lacked interest, he didn’t want to be so rude to his new teammates, he went to Lewis again, Lewis looked at him strangely, did not agree or refuse, but asked him to see Li Wan’s locker cabinet first.

Tekcoglu looked puzzled and went to the dressing room, Li Wan’s locker cabinet was also easy to recognize…

There was a poster of him punching Artest crookedly, along with a pair of red boxing gloves…

Tekcoglu: …

What does this rookie mean?

Can boxing be amazing?

Have you heard of Turkish xenomarty?

“Still fix him? Lewis asked.

Techcoglu immediately waved his hand: “Forget it, I suddenly feel that it is not interesting…”

It’s not that you don’t dare, it’s just not interesting…

Li Wan soon arrived home.

Taryn chose a residential area for him that only takes 15 minutes by car from the stadium, of course, this is also a rich area in Orlando, so the price is not low, 3,000 a month…

The rent is really not low!

But the house is much bigger than what he rented in Los Angeles before, two living rooms and four rooms…

When Tyren checked the facilities and equipment of each room for him, Li Wan looked at the news from the outside world, his hat and the number he changed, all of which caused a huge movement in the outside world.

At the same time, such a high profile has made the outside world have a lot of doubts.

It just so happens that tomorrow the Orlando Magic host the Spurs, and many people are waiting for Li Wan’s “original form”…

10,000 2.
