You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 115 The Last Stop: Los Angeles

When Weixia returned to the hotel, Lara Darby kept asking about the results of the trial training.

"Not very good." In front of close people, Wei Xia would not hide it.

"Not so good?" Darby understood that Wei Xia's trial training was not going well, "Is your condition not good today?"

Wei Xia shook his head and denied, "No, I don't feel very good about the Knicks."

"Are they making things difficult for you? Or are they just looking at whether you can make three-pointers?" She really knows Wei Xia's on and off court sensitivities like the back of her hand.

Wei Xia felt that what he said next would affect Darby's mood.

It's really strange, obviously the matter is not conclusive, and the control is not in Wei Xia's hands, he can fool Darby just like fooling that little girl.

Even if he says he's had a good workout, it'll get Darby's smile, but nothing else.

Trial training and the draft, although working hard to promote common results, players can only control the trial training and which team they go to, not what they can control.

Wei Xia didn't want to lie to Darby, that's all.

"No, Isiah Thomas likes me a lot. Larry Brown doesn't seem to like me because he's from North Carolina and I'm late today. It's normal for him to have a bad impression of me, but my workout performance should satisfy him."

"In this case, why do you feel bad about the Knicks?"

Wei Xia didn't want to complicate things, the Knicks gave him a bad feeling, he didn't like the Knicks, it was as simple as that.

"I don't like the Knicks." Wei Xia said bluntly.

Darby was silent for a while, and said, "Do you know that even though their record ranks at the bottom of the league, they are still the most profitable team in the league?"

Wei Xia smiled lightly: "I know, and I also know that the money they make will not go into the players' pockets."

"However, if you can make achievements there, you will be more popular than Patrick Ewing, your commercial value will be unparalleled, and you will be held in the palm of the mean New York media and cared for like a newborn baby."

Is it really me that Darby keeps talking about?Wei Xia thought funny.

He doesn't like dealing with the media. He has been like this since he was a child, and it will not change in the future. He doesn't think he will be liked by the New York media.

"Then, what if I don't make any achievements? Have you thought about it?" Wei Xia said lightly, "The Ewing you mentioned is also the reason why I am bored with this team. They ignored Patrick's contribution and sent him to Seattle when he was old. I don't want to play for such a team."

Darby has a spirit of debate, and insists on fighting Wei Xia to the end, asking whether there is any problem with the Knicks.

"That was the Knicks before. The management that gave up Ewing is completely different from the current management, otherwise they wouldn't have given Alan Houston such a big contract!"

Darby's understanding of the Knicks is far beyond Wei Xia's imagination.

Suddenly, he understood.

If he remembers correctly, Darby is from New York.
The debate was fruitless, and few people were able to convince Wei Xia who had established a stereotype.Wei Xia has a bad feeling for the Knicks, and today's trial training made his impression of this team drop to the lowest point. Compared with the Warriors, it is really not a good place.

He didn't convince Darby, and Darby didn't convince him. This was the second time they had a disagreement, and it was bigger than the last time. It was so big that Wei Xia didn't produce any pheromones when he saw Darby walking around in underwear.

Wei Xia's trial training terminal is Los Angeles.

A while ago, the Clippers proposed to give them a half-day trial training, but Dan Fagan didn't think it was necessary.Wei Xia has tried out enough teams, the Clippers really want him, and they have all the information they should get, so there is no need to try out.

Fagan didn't even think it was necessary to give the Lakers a tryout. They only had the tenth pick in the first round.

It is impossible to choose Wei Xia for this lottery.

Wei Xia still decided to go to the Lakers for trial training.

Today is June 6. Not long ago, the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons fought hand-to-hand for seven games in the finals, successfully reducing the ratings of the finals to the lowest in history.

It's a head-to-head confrontation with real guns and live ammunition, and the more ruthless side will have the last laugh.

The Spurs hold the trophy.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Phil Jackson, who left in 2004, would return to the coach of the Lakers.

Since Jim Buss was in charge of the year, the Lakers not only did not achieve much, but also ushered in the first failed season after 1996 that did not make the playoffs. His authority was weakened.

It just so happened that when Wei Xia came to Los Angeles from New York, Zen Master had already started to preside over the affairs of the Lakers.

At Los Angeles International Airport, when Wei Xia walked out with his luggage, only two people recognized him.

On the left is a strong white guy, and on the right is a small-eyed Asian.

It was his buddies Dick Long and Lee Chung Hyun who were studying in California.Since graduating from high school, Wei Xia only had the opportunity to get together with them during the holidays. Today he came to Los Angeles for a trial training, and they took the initiative to pick him up.

"You said you came when you came, and what gifts do you bring?" Dalong said while helping Wei Xia put his luggage into the trunk.

Wei Xia tried out all the way, and the gift he got the most was the legendary signed jerseys of each team.

He specifically picked out signed jerseys from Michael Jordan and Chris Mullin for them.Although it is just a jersey, it is worth a lot of money because it has been handed by Wei Xia and the players' autographs.

Oh, and he also had an Isiah Thomas jersey on hand that he decided to keep for himself.

Reason [-], if you can’t give it away, it’s worthless, especially the operation of the smiling assassin who turned his hands into black clouds and turned his hands into acid rain in the Knicks. He has become a contemporary villain.

The second reason is that his father Wei Mingliang "wants" this jersey for some reason.

Dalong was driving, and Wei Xia chatted with them about his recent situation.

From this, they learned about the draft commitments of the Warriors and Knicks to Wesha.

"Excellent, Xiba! So you are guaranteed the eighth pick now?" Li Zhongxian exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Xia laughed dryly, it's hard to say anything, he can't say that the last thing he wants to see is to be picked by the Knicks with the eighth pick, right?
They went to eat at a nearby Chinese restaurant.

Although there is no delicious food in the Chinese restaurant, there is one good thing: most of them are buffets.

Wei Xia eats whatever he sees, he is not restrained at all, and he does not look like he is going to be an NBA player at all.

He was indifferent to the trial training in the afternoon, and talked about interesting stories in high school with Dalong and Li Zhongxian.

Things that used to be considered glorious now look as embarrassing as non-mainstream talk in Qzone.

Wei Xia asked about their recent situation.

Lee Chung-hsien has no plans at the moment, he just plays day-to-day, while Dalong is playing for the college football team.Their school is the weakest of the weakest teams, and he is the drinking fountain of the weakest of the weakest.

It is basically impossible to play a career in the future, so you have to plan for graduation early.

Wei Xia came up with some bad ideas for them.

He thinks that Li Zhongxian has a big voice and can sing tenor in the future.

He also thinks that Dalong's muscles are too developed, and he might be able to become a fitness instructor.

His suggestion was ruthlessly dismissed.

In fact, the vast majority of college students are the same as Li Zhongxian and Dalong.Either they don’t have a goal, they eat and wait for death, and when the time of death is approaching, they bite the bullet and find a job that they didn’t even care about a few years ago and continue to dawdle; some, like Dalong, misuse their persistence and enthusiasm, even if it is impossible to support themselves with the things they are working hard in the future, they will have to go all the way to the dark.
