Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

Chapter 117: Let the world focus on Orlando

In the fourth quarter of the All-Star final, Li Wan went up to cooperate with Kobe again, and played two alleys. The Lakers reporters on the scene kept pressing the shutter, and their expressions of joy were undisguised. It can be seen from their appearance: Kobe and his "Pippen".

At the end of the game, Li Wan played only 16.5 minutes as the starter. In the starter, only Yao Ming had less time than him. Yao Ming only 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, took away the victory.

This "banana boat" is overturned.

When the beep sounded, Chris Paul rushed up and was a "gun punch warning", and LeBron James jokingly avoided. This is the second time he has entered the All-Star Weekend and won the MVP...

What is "The Chosen Son"!

but…

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

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

Li Wan was in a very uneasy mood, not because the reporter asked how the two developed, but because he was afraid that the news of his being traded would be exposed at this time.

Then tonight, he won't want to sleep.

Fortunately, the interviews on the All-Star Weekend are also time-limited. Once the stipulated time is up, the reporters have to leave if they want to.

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

This is probably the only quiet place now.

With a large number of reports, Li Wan and Taylor's love affair also spread all over the United States overnight, and it also exploded in the United States.

Odom immediately called Li Wan: "Man, is Taylor's mysterious boyfriend really you?"

Kim Kardashian was eating steak and singing, and she was stunned when she suddenly saw Li Wan and Swift open their relationship on the All-Star Weekend.

Because of the conflict of the show, Kardashian's "Five Golden Flowers" did not go to the lights of New Orleans this All-Star weekend.

I didn't expect it...

Li Wan let Swift be robbed like this!

Two days ago, this girl made a confession on the spot in Grammy, and she also saw the news, but she never thought that this girl confessed to Li Wan!

She's taking over all the heat right now...

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

She looked up at the other side of the long table, where Jenna was sitting. Seeing how she kept her head down and was cutting steak with a knife and fork, she should have known about it.

Jenna has been a little crazy lately. The day before yesterday, she deliberately stayed in front of the TV and watched the Rookie Challenge, but she didn't expect it to end before it even started.

In addition, in a high-end office building in Los Angeles, Yin Wanka, wearing a professional attire, watched the working coffee machine spinning and stirring. After thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Wan, with a short word: Congratulations!

While these women were digesting Li Wan's love affair, there was a heavy news inside the league late at night: the Lakers, Magic and Nets reached a three-way deal.

The Lakers sent Li Wan, the 2008 first-round pick and the signing rights of Aaron McGee, Marcus Williams, Karl and Marc Gasol, and got Paul Gasol, Ariza, JJ Ray Dick, Nelson Jr.;

The Grizzlies sent Paul Gasol and a second-round pick to the Lakers in 2008, the Magic in 2008, and the first-round pick in 2010. These Lakers players, as well as the signing rights of Marc Gasol ;

The Magic sent Ariza, Jj-Redick, and Jr. Nelson to get Li Wan and the Grizzlies' second-round draft picks;

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

Li Wan just finished doing business with Swift, and took a look at his phone. Tyron called him several times, but he muted it. He didn't want to suddenly call when he was about to do something.

These missed calls showed that his decision was correct.

Glancing at Swift, who was still in a daze, Li Wan returned the call. Just after the call, Tyron said the most important thing: "The transaction has been reported!"

Li Wan nodded and said nothing.

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

"I'll be there around 8 o'clock..."

"Row!"

After speaking briefly, when Li Wan turned around, Taylor had already sat up, the quilt was wrapped around him, but most of his snow-white skin was leaking out.

Surrounded by loneliness.

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

"Let's go, take a shower..."

Before she could say anything, Li Wan reached out and picked her up. With a thud, when Tyler came to his senses, his head was already in Li Wan's arms.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult for Taylor Swift, who is 1.80 meters, to give people the feeling of a small woman, even if her skeleton is not big for a woman of 180cm, she can be here.

But at this moment, Taylor Swift with a blush on her face, leaning in Li Wan's arms, looked somewhat delicate.

After the war, the two fell asleep.

The battle between the two of them was over, but the outside world gradually became more and more noisy.

Time goes back to 2:45 am.

At the same time when Li Wan learned that his deal was officially reached, the editor-in-chief of The New York Times, Abby Rosenthal, looked at a freshly released copy of The New York Times, carefully turned over a few pages, and felt the quality After passing the customs, let the assistant take it down and prepare it for printing. In the next 3 hours, this approved newspaper will be printed in countless copies and sent to various states in the United States, so that people from all walks of life can get information, One of the ways to pass the time.

It's just that the assistant just went out with the newspaper when the phone at the corner of the desk rang.

He frowned instinctively, but without any hesitation, he reached for the microphone.

There will be no phone calls at this point in the past.

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

Something happened!

"Sure?"

This time, without exception, Rosenthal, who was confirmed, quickly retrieved his assistant.

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

After speaking, he walked to the coffee machine and skillfully brewed a cup of espresso bitter coffee.

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

A battle for him begins...

There are many more editors like him!

Fortunately, this kind of thing is nothing new for this industry. After working overtime, they finally got their newspapers delivered to various newsstands and some newspaper sales agencies before dawn. .

"Shocked, this season's free market buzzer-beater trade, the Lakers sent Li Wan! 》

"Li Wan was sent away just to win the championship? The Lakers are fighting! 》

"Send away the phenomenal rookie, Kobe and the Lakers, and finally chose now! 》

With the reports of these media, on January 15th, the first day after the All-Star Game, the whole nation was fried!

In previous years, when the All-Star Weekend ended and the free trade market ended, there would always be some amazing big deals coming out, and NBA fans were also ready to "eat melons".

Unexpectedly...

This melon is too big!

The rookie selected by the Lakers with the 19th overall pick in the first round of last year's draft has scored double-digit points in a single quarter many times, and can score 52 points in a single game. The second youngest "Mr. 50 Points" in history has just entered the Rookie Challenge. After winning the MVP trophy, Li Wan, a phenomenal super rookie who entered the All-Star start in Los Angeles' first rookie season in more than a decade...

Traded to Orlando!

Who would have thought?

No one can think of it!

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

— Kobe and "Pippen"!

The tweet had thousands of comments in just an hour.

Almost all Lakers fans...

As a result, when I woke up, the photos were still there, Kobe was still there, and "Pippen" was lost...

Management…

I *you ancestors!

An overseas Chinese with Sichuan blood on his body stood in front of the Toyota Arena early in the morning, holding a signboard with this classic hometown dialect.

This also represents the minds of most Lakers fans.

They didn't see what the Lakers got, they only saw this sentence: Li Wan was traded to Orlando...

Such a newcomer, are you willing to trade?

Nima!

Kupchak won't be a Magic legend, right?

Countless Lakers fans quickly gathered at Toyota Arena, forming a large-scale protest group.

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

Can't you trade other people?

Bynum's talent has been hailed as a "little shark" by the outside world. Can't you trade him?

Kupchak in the general manager's office quickly learned about this matter. His mindless eyes had obvious dark circles. After the transaction was submitted yesterday, he didn't sleep all night.

He knew that there would definitely be a big commotion.

But so soon there would be fans running to the gate of the arena to make trouble. He really didn't expect it.

He had expected 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, the major media in Los Angeles also began to ask Kupchak to give an explanation.

Most opinions: The Lakers are not without other chips, why must they use Li Wan to trade...

Can't Odom?

Can't Bynum?

Kupchak would like to say something; as long as you are smart, you are the only one who thought of it!

I didn't think about it?

I don't know if Odom and Bynum can also be used to trade?

Can…

No one else!

Others will look for Li Wan, and if they don't take Li Wan out, they will not talk about it!

What can he do?

He is also very desperate!

The huge public opinion made Kupchak feel "a lot of pressure". At this moment, he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a throat... But at this time, he couldn't call the boss.

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

What does the boss pay for?

So he called Kobe Bryant...

At the same time that Los Angeles is rioting, Memphis is also rioting.

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 fans fell under his trading ability.

result…

"Is there something wrong with Chris Wallace's mind? Don't want a rookie with 52 points in a single game, want 3 first-round picks from Nima? Are you a rookie not enough, or do you think you have a vicious vision, can you get another Li Wan? "

Overseas Chinese in Memphis: "You really are an old lady who went under the quilt and laughed at him! Can Li Wan not want it?"

"Memphis has this idiot, and it will never rise. I said this, God bless this idiot to die quickly!"

A scold!

Chris Wallace is trying to find some "sober and sane" fans in the scolding.

It's a pity that it failed. There are thousands of comments under the relevant news, but he didn't find one that praised him...

You know a ball!

He is also angry!

Li Wan's style of play, that is, there is Kobe to contain him, without Kobe, who knows what he can be like?

Aren't the picks good?

That's three first-round picks!

Coupled with the more than 10 million salary space vacated by Paul Gasol's departure.

If you can't get it right this summer, you can get a big fish in the net, plus "future Jordan" OJ-Mayo...

Grizzlies championship!

When Chris Horace thinks of a bright future, and then looks at the abuse, he suddenly loses his anger.

Memphis idiots, get ready to line up and apologize to me!

As for Orlando…

The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are blaring!

The weather in Orlando has always been sunny, but when I woke up this morning and saw the Magic fans who reported, I feel that today is brighter than ever before!

Otis Smith is out!

Can actually steal someone from the Lakers!

This is their evaluation of Otis' operation...

When the "Shark" traveled west to Los Angeles, it broke the hearts of many Magic fans.

Although there are also factors of management brain damage.

But aside from the brain-damaged Magic management, don't the Lakers have a little responsibility?

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

Who can resist the temptation from the big city?

really...

Chilling!

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

They feel that the Lakers have robbed the "dynasty" that should belong to Orlando!

finally…

finally!

Finally, there is such a day, we also snatched their baby over!

Li Wan…

As long as the fans of the NBA are concerned about this season, it is impossible not to know the super nova!

Otis brought him to Orlando!

"Orlando Sentinel" said: "This trade alone is enough to put Otis Smith at the top of the Magic's general manager list!"

It's a really big deal!

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

They are all leftover players.

Sending it out won't have any effect on the Magic's main lineup either.

Not even chips.

Among the players sent out, there is only one person who really has an impact on the Magic's current lineup: Jameer 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 No. 1 position. Since he is here, there is no place for Nelson in the team...

So still no effect!

As for the two first-round picks, they are even less interested. With the current Magic team's lineup, the arrival of Li Wan will definitely make up for their last shortcoming. This lineup will last for 3 years, and there is no problem at all. These two The first-round pick may end up being the 25th pick in the first round or even lower. This rookie might as well be blocked with a second-round pick...

Otis, the Magic management team's forever NO.1!

In addition to these three, there is also a state that has made a big noise because of this deal.

New York state!

Early in the morning, I saw the news that Li Wan was traded to the Magic. At that time, the New York fans gave up and ran to the periphery of Madison Square and shouted:

"Donnie Walsh, you bastard, what the **** have you been doing for so long?"

"fxxkyou, the New York Knicks don't need mediocrity!"

"Why didn't Li Wan participate in the transaction, Downey is the next Thomas!"

Walsh…

I'm so confused!

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

I've only been in office for a month, and the "mess" left by my previous office has not been sorted out. How can I rebuild it?

I just shuffled the cards in my hand, and I haven't sorted them out yet. You ask me why I don't throw "bombs"?

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

Blow off cannons?

When New Yorkers dig their earwax, they dig out a bit of their brains!

Walsh, who was in high spirits and prepared to make a big fight in the Knicks, fully realized how difficult it is to sit as the president of the New York Knicks in his first month in office.

Domestically, it exploded at the same time!

"I'm going, Li Wan is going to Orlando?"

"It's normal. Kobe wants to go crazy if he wants to win the championship. Bynum is not very useful. What can we do? The Lakers are probably in trouble right now."

"My playful combination in Los Angeles! Yesterday, I posted a photo of Lakers reporter Kobe Bryant and Li Wan working together on the field. I didn't expect it to become history so quickly!"

"I feel like the Magic is going to take off! Howard can touch anyone except Dayao, and Turkoglu is fine. With Li Wan joining, this team won't directly become a championship?"

"Ten years of magic fans, come uninvited!"

"Old magic fans said that the brain-dead management will eventually screw everything up, don't believe it, just wait and see!"

"Open a post and analyze Li Wan's transfer prospects rationally!"

The domestic fans were also shocked, especially the fans of Li Wan and Kobe, who were even more distressed. During the All-Star Weekend, due to the continuous marketing of the Los Angeles media, Li Wan and Kobe have become famous in China: Jordan and Pi in Los Angeles. Pong.

There are good people directly based on the homophony, giving them various combination names, such as "Nifty (Jopi) combination", "Can (Kori) combination", "Sheni "Snake Li" combination"...

Can't think of it!

Not a single shot was fired, the group disbanded...

This is really...

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

"Wow, it's almost all about you in the newspapers!"

Taylor and Li Wan also woke up at this time, and notified the waiter that breakfast and newspapers had been brought.

Because of the transaction, Li Wan occupies a more ruthless page!

The popularity is so high that it actually makes Swift feel like she is in love with a big star...

"Well... just right, if you miss me, read more newspapers..."

After breakfast, Swift has to go back to Los Angeles to prepare for the concert, and her tour of the three major American cities will officially begin in two days.

Following Li Wan's words, she looked away from the newspaper and looked at Li Wan. The two smiled at each other, and Taylor made a "chichi" sound with laughter.

After Li Wan confirmed the relationship, the number of times she teased her increased significantly...

The number of her heartbeats is more frequent than before the relationship was established...

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

Li Wan had met several times before, but he never said hello to this fat woman. This time, it's a formal acquaintance.

"You two are really exhausting me!"

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

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

With a suggestive expression and a slightly complaining tone, the agent made Taylor embarrassed to hide behind Li Wan. Seeing her subconsciously relying on Li Wan, the agent had a complicated feeling of marrying her daughter.

Tyler turned his head to say goodbye to Li Wan. Not long after, Tyron also came. Li Wan asked him to get something before, and he had to send it over, and it was the first time he went to Orlando. That's right.

Li Wan's cell phone gradually began to "crack".

First, the three of them called Conley and wanted to comfort Li Wan. In their opinion, Li Wan must be very sad that the transaction happened suddenly.

"Dude, just change Pau Gasol in your rookie season. When can you change Marc Gasol?"

Marc Gasol's signing rights, commonly known as "take the lead"...

Li Wan's words dispelled their concerns, and successfully sent them a gesture of friendship.

Odom, who had just called last night, called again. Compared with the surprise last night, his tone was not only surprised, but also somewhat reluctant.

"Dude, work hard, this alliance belongs to you on a big stage!"

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

Although Odom himself thought that Li Wan was his younger brother, the "big brother" was really good to him. At that time, he had a conflict with Artest, and Odom also mediated for him.

He was the best teammate the Lakers had against him early on.

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

The Lakers originally planned to trade him, but since he became tough, these thoughts have gradually diminished. This time, 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 2001, Kwame Brown has not been very smooth. If he was asked to choose a nobleman in his career, he would choose Li Wan.

He never imagined that after an All-Star weekend, the noble became a former teammate.

"Work hard, Kwame, remember, you're actually very strong, much stronger than you think!"

After Li Wan said this, Kwame Brown was about to cry, and hung up the phone with a sob.

Where should he go to find a "good brother" who cares so much about him?

He really...

So gentle!

I'm crying!

Then Vujacic and others also sent text messages or made phone calls...

Li Wan can 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..."

Dan Dan responded.

Li Wan did not believe that Fisher would really feel sorry.

If the Lakers pick a guy who hears he's been traded, the first reaction is to smile...

Li Wan will definitely choose Fisher.

And he certainly wasn't wrong.

Fisher, who hung up the phone, couldn't hold back his smile again.

It's a deal!

Li Wan was actually traded!

Hahahahaha!

Although he still has to compete with Nelson, Fisher flipped through the video of this guy's game. He felt that this kind of "reckless person" really doesn't necessarily understand what "triangle tactics" is!

Fisher is not very afraid, he is going to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!

At 9:00 in the morning, Li Wan, who had packed up, followed Tyron on the plane to Orlando.

Meanwhile, Toyota Arena in Los Angeles.

A temporary press conference was officially opened, and there were only two people sitting above answering questions, one was Kupchak and the other was Kobe.

After the hustle and bustle caused by the huge shock, the Los Angeles media got to their senses and began to analyze Kupchak's deal.

I have to say, you can get an A+!

Not to mention Pau Gasol. Although he has spent 6 years proving that he is not suitable for the position of the big boss, he has also shown his all-round skills. He is one of the best power forwards in the league at present, except for If you can't be the boss, there are no other problems.

More importantly...

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

There are really not many in this league that are suitable for Kobe on and off the court.

In addition, several newcomers from the Magic team are also really good, especially suitable for the current Lakers.

Ariza can protect the Lakers' flanks very well. His physical quality on the flanks and the ability to assist in defense are currently not available to the Lakers; Nelson's momentum at No. 1 can just make up for Li Wan's departure, resulting in No. 1. A lack of firepower; plus jj Redick, a significantly more reliable pitcher than Vujacic.

This is a big boost without a doubt!

It is worth mentioning that, since this transaction happened, 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 making money!

Of course, here in Memphis, the attitude of the fans is diametrically opposed to the attitude of the media and the Grizzlies management.

The fans on the Lakers side can't deny that the experts' analysis is very reasonable. The Lakers have indeed ushered in a big strengthening...

But…

The issue is…

Why can't you be happy?

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

Kobe didn't have too many opinions on this transaction, 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. , any other ending is a failure!"

Fight against the backwater and sink the boat!

This is what most of the media guessed from Kobe's words.

It's not an exaggeration.

Since the Lakers acquired Kobe Bryant in the draft in 1996, they have not selected any impressive rookie. Li Wan is the first in 11 years.

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

He is far better than Kobe!

Sending him away is equivalent to giving up the future. This is not a last-ditch battle, so what other options are there? A last-ditch battle?

"The plane will land at Orlando International Airport in 10 minutes. The crew is collecting carpets and earphones, please help. Today's temperature is 21.3 degrees. It's cloudy..."

"Sit down, crew, we're going to land now..."

"Please fasten your seat belt until the lights go out, please sit in your seat until the plane comes to a complete stop, please don't open the cabin overhead, thank you!"

After a series of briefings from the stewardess aunt, Li Wan turned his head and looked out the window. The plane had stopped taxiing and put down the pedals.

Orlando…

arrive!

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

This is what he asked Tai Lun to prepare a few days ago: the entire design, including the words, was designed by Li Wan, who bought out the copyright of the hat.

It cost about $3,000.

You get what you pay for, so the design is actually not that good...

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

This was the day when Yin Wanka asked him to buy a house in Los Angeles, he suddenly remembered a sleazy operation her father had done later.

A hat printed with "Make XX Great Again", at its peak, let "Knowing King" earn more than 500,000 dollars a day, and can earn about 200 million yuan a year!

Although it is impossible for Li Wan to have that kind of influence in the United States, it is also impossible to have that kind of ability to attract money.

but…

If the goal is just to make a few tens of millions of dollars...

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

This 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 at a cost of $30 and sold them for $100. If he sold them all, he could earn about 690,000 after removing the cost of the hats and the design copyright. !

That's the profit around...

And this kind of thing doesn't require him to spend any effort at all.

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

Um…

Others are still considering whether the deal will be a blessing or a curse for him.

He's already thinking about making money off this deal!

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

Li Wan is also prepared...

Just waiting for him to see the team coming to pick up the plane...

He was still stunned for a moment.

Not because of the sound of taking pictures everywhere, but because the pick-up port is full of Magic fans holding posters and banners, as well as cheering sticks. If you look at it roughly, there are at least three or four hundred.

The black-pressed head filled the port.

They were all Magic fans who spontaneously came to pick up Li Wan after learning that Li Wan had already boarded the plane and came to Orlando...

The arrival of Li Wan excited the media in the whole city, and it also excited them!

They can't wait to meet Li Wan, the hottest super rookie after the summer of 2007!

When they meet now, they instantly feel...

Well-deserved reputation!

Most fans were attracted by Li Wan's handsome and sunny appearance at the first time, and then they were attracted by the English written on his hat...

Let the world focus on Orlando!

Some words, on some occasions, will make your scalp tingle and goosebumps all over your body as soon as you say them or see them.

Later, "Knowing the King" gained huge influence by relying on the sentence "Make **** great again".

Now…

Li Wan is the same.

All the reporters were waiting to ask him what it was like to leave the Lakers, what to expect from the Magic, and what worries there would be.

Now…

No need to ask, Li Wan gave the answer!

I'm here...to bring the world to Orlando!

In fact, although he hasn't done anything yet, he has done...

NBA fans around the world are waiting for news of his arrival in Orlando.

The reporters kept taking pictures. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they were reporters. Instead, it was like they had awakened the "blood of the photographer". They shot Li Wan in various angles and poses.

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

Otis' eyes glowed.

He would never look at a man with such eyes, he was afraid of being misunderstood by others.

But at this moment, no matter whether others will misunderstand or whether Li Wan will misunderstand, the enthusiasm in his eyes is undisguised!

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

"Welcome to Orlando, Lee, the city has been waiting for you for a long time!"

When the hands of the two people were held together, the fans who came to pick up the plane couldn't hold back their mood any longer and gave a huge cheer.

"Trash boy"!

The second youngest "Mr. 50" in history!

Squeeze out Allen Iverson to become the Western Conference starter this year!

This phenomenal rookie is finally here...

With the slogan "Let the world focus on Orlando"!

At this moment, not to mention other Orlando fans, but only to the 300 fans who came to pick up the plane. They believe that the Magic will be great!

The press conference announcing the official joining will be held in the afternoon.

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

This is also an old arena for some years. It was originally called the TD Waterhouse Center. Since last year, Amway has become the new title business of this arena with 4 years and 1.5 million US dollars.

The arena was renamed Amway Arena.

From this naming right, it can also be seen that it is difficult for a small city team to make a living!

With less than 400,000 sponsorships per 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...

In the same situation, Milwaukee, the Chinese market behind Yi Jianlian, has hardly any help for the Bucks to pull in sponsorships. The place is too small, and the sponsors cannot be as straightforward as paying for the Rockets.

The main Yi Jianlian's current performance also makes people sweat for him.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't play well, Yao Ming didn't perform very well at the beginning of his first year, the key point...he's not impatient!

Who knows when the Bucks will give up...

When the turn was almost over, Otis took him to the training hall for a turn. The Magic team was currently training within the team. The fat face of "Coach Anxi" who was yelling on the sidelines was sweating profusely. The morning training was not satisfactory.

But when he saw Li Wan, he still showed a warm smile: "Welcome to the Magic, Li..."

Li Wan also responded with a smile and looked at his new teammates on the court.

His arrival stopped the training sound.

Howard, who grinned like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old baby, waved to 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 found out on the way after getting off the plane, and replied "thank you" to him. It is estimated that he was already training at that time. did not see.

Turkoglu's expression is not so good-looking.

No wonder, there has been so little friction on the field, it is impossible to see him come and show a smile.

But after coming out of the Lakers, Li Wan didn't care about Turkoglu's thorns. Kobe, Bynum, including "Kamen Rider" Fisher, how can it be more difficult than him?

take it easy…

He loves being friends with Thorn too much!

"Mr. Billion Dollar" Lewis and the others all had normal expressions, with some vigilant eyes, Li Wan knew without guessing that they were all players who competed with him for the same position.

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

His position, like Howard and Lewis, is the position closest to the door, with a lot of space. This also represents Otis' recognition of Li Wan in his heart.

"Shirt number or 91?"

"Well..." Li Wan thought for a while, "Change to No. 23!"

The Magic may also benefit from this. The team has never retired any stars, so Li Wan can choose the number at will.

Otis looked slightly startled, a little dazed.

First, he got off the plane with the hat of "Let the world focus on Orlando", and then changed his number to 23. Li Wan's mind, that is Kevin Durant's mind-everyone knows it!

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

He didn't say much, and said that people should be prepared immediately.

At noon, Li Wan had lunch accompanied by Otis, and rested for a while. When Li Wan took out his mobile phone, he saw the message Taylor sent him. She had already returned to Los Angeles and took a photo, feeling drowsy. Sleeping little expression, and the hair stylist doing various operations on her head.

Post a photo of your hair done?

Um…

Fortunately, I am a PG million...

Fighting poison with poison, belongs to yes!

At 2 pm, the Magic team officially held a press conference to announce the joining of Li Wan.

Li Wan put on the "Let the world focus on Orlando" hat again, and added the Magic No. 23 jersey he showed in his hand.

The reporters on the side of the field immediately became excited, and everyone was like Dong Yong who saw the Seven Fairies taking a bath...

Then he answered various questions as usual. When asked about his thoughts on the Lakers trading himself, Li Wandan said: "As a person, I have always just looked forward, this is a new beginning, and it is meaningless to discuss the past. It's gone!"

When asked if the hat on his head was changed from No. 91 to No. 23, what he wanted to express, Li Wan smiled at the reporter: "If you don't even know what it means..."

He glanced at the reporter's work card: "All I can say is, ESPN's selection criteria are really bad!"

This made the reporter sit down awkwardly, and another reporter stood up excitedly, he was a local Orlando reporter: "The whole city of Orlando is excited about this deal, Lee, do you think you can do it for this team? Bring what?"

"Ariza, Nelson, jj-Redick..." Li Wan read out the names of the players the Magic sent in the deal, and then said, "What they can't bring to this team is what I can do for the team. What this team brings..."

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

The atmosphere at the scene was still depressing.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Popovich did not say to the media, "This is a naked robbery." Even he knew very well what the Lakers sent to get these people.

This trade is really profitable, and the Lakers are also losing money on this trade...

Kobe, who was training, glanced at the time and knew that a press conference was being held outside. His dribble suddenly accelerated, and then he made a signature mid-range fallback jumper and threw the ball in.

The ball hits the basket and enters the net…

His eyes became more and more solemn...

win the championship…

Must win this season!

He hasn't sent any text messages to Li Wan yet, at least before he won the championship, he didn't have the courage to send text messages to Li Wan.

The Lakers' press conference ended quickly. When the "blond man" appeared in the arena, Kobe looked at his figure, and his eyes flashed a little bit of heat.

Even if this man was exchanged for Li Wan...

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

Pau Gasol…

"Welcome to the Lakers!"

Kobe reached out and gave him a high five.

"Clap" sound.

The Lakers have officially entered a new era!

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

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

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 maximum salary, and 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...

Anything that normal management can do, they don't do it!

But for anything that normal management can't do, they will never fail!

And the later fight with Howard...

This team is a real "superstar killer"!

Li Wan never thought that he would play for this team one day. In view of the past and the future he knew, it was really difficult for him to be loyal to this team anyway.

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

It's not a big city...

In the same sentence, if Orlando is replaced by New York, Li Wan feels that he can earn at least six or seven million! And here, Li Wan feels that he can sell 10,000 pieces, sell another 10,000 pieces, and earn 1.5 million, which is a good situation...

This is the urban gap!

If you make less money, and your life is not going your way, you will be sick if you stay here.

It's like being a woman. It doesn't matter if she's not beautiful, she still likes to be a woman. Which man can stand it?

Of course, this is all for another day. He hasn't played his first game on behalf of the Magic yet. He still has good expectations for his life in this team.

At the end of the Magic practice game, Stan Van Gundy asked the staff to come to him for a setup meeting for tomorrow's home game.

Although he did not train with the team today, he will still play tomorrow night at home against the San Antonio Spurs. Originally, Otis agreed with him to rest for two days, but Li Wan refused, it was unnecessary. Besides, there must be many Orlando fans who are looking forward to seeing him at home tomorrow!

So many people came to pick up the plane today, he was very moved, and for the sake of these lovely fans, he has to play tomorrow night!

When he arrived, the others had just finished training, and in twos and threes, they gathered around Stan Van Gundy and the assistant.

The assistant coach around Stan Van Gundy is also a celebrity, Ewing, the "best background board for Jordan" in the 1990s!

In order to train Howard, he came...

They were stunned when they saw Li Wan, who was wearing the No. 23 jersey, appearing on the training ground. —Yes, Li Wan put on his jersey after thinking about it. It's a respect for everyone...

It's just that what he saw more was everyone's surprise to him.

Ewing shook as if electrocuted.

23rd…

This is a number that he can't even look at right now when he sees it.

other people…

It was more of a surprise that Li Wan wore this jersey.

Stan Van Gundy is worthy of being the head coach. He reacted first, clapped the tactical board on his hand, and let everyone focus on him, and then he began to arrange the arrangements for tomorrow's game.

Stan Van Gundy didn't falter. Although he hadn't trained yet, he still put Li Wan in the starting No. 1 position.

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

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that the Magic's second position is a shortcoming.

The original Magic team also deliberately introduced Michael Pietrus this summer to replace Bogans.

Um?

If the deal still happens this summer...

Doesn't it mean that Li Wan will be in the same team as his draft template?

Interesting ha!

After the explanation was over, Stan Van Gundy disbanded the crowd. Li Wan went back and changed his clothes and left. Turkoglu looked at his back with disdain in his eyes.

I've always looked at the guy and it's not pleasing to the eye, but it's still such a big name today. At least that's how he sees it!

He decided to have a full Li Wan tomorrow!

Come to the 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 gave him a weird look, neither agreeing nor refusing, but let him go first. Check out Li Wan's locker.

Turkoglu looked puzzled and went to the locker room, and Li Wan's locker cabinet was easy to recognize...

There was a poster of him punching Artest crookedly, and a pair of red boxing gloves was hung there...

Turkoglu: …

What does this rookie mean?

Are you good at boxing?

Have you heard of Turkish xeno-fighting?

"Are you still fixing him?" Lewis asked.

Lewis immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, I suddenly don't find it interesting..."

It's not that I dare not, UU reading www.uukanshu. com just doesn't make any sense...

Li Wan soon arrived home.

Tyron chose a residential area for him that was only a 15-minute drive from the arena. Of course, this is considered a wealthy area in Orlando, so the price is not low, 3,000 2 per month...

The rent is really low!

But the house is much bigger than the one he rented in Los Angeles, with two living rooms and four rooms...

When Tyron checked the facilities and equipment of each room for him, Li Wan read the news from the outside world. His hat and the number he changed all caused a huge disturbance in the outside world.

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

It happens that the Orlando Magic will host the Spurs tomorrow, and many people are waiting for Li Wan to "reveal the truth"...
