The System of Basketball Becomes a God

Chapter 103 The Lakers Meeting

(Sorry, the No. 13 pick belongs to the Suns. It was traded to the Kings, please correct it.)
Now that Li Qian has been selected, of course he doesn't need to stay at the scene of the draft, and go to meet Li's team.

Of course, Li Qian needs to rush to the Los Angeles Lakers as soon as possible to sign a contract and invite a press conference.

Before leaving, Li Qian specially pushed Hilde out, and the two of them had a good get-together.

"Hey, man, I'm also a lottery pick!" Li Qian raised his glass excitedly and said to Hilde: "Do you know what questions the reporter asked me?"

Hilde smiled happily, shook his head and said he didn't know what question the reporter asked.

"She said it would be better for us to appear together in white suits, haha." After speaking, Li Qian laughed even louder, raised his glass and clinked it with Hilde to drink again.

Hilde also laughed and drank it down.

"I'm going to play in Los Angeles, and you're going to play in New Orleans too. In the future, my friend, don't be merciful!" Li Qian looked at Hilde, as if thinking of the semi-final match that was still fresh in his memory, and the two raced wildly 40+, really time flies too fast.

"Try your best!" Hilde said.

…………

The plane taken by Li Qian and his team soon arrived at Sputnik, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because Walton lost the finals with the Warriors, he rushed back to Los Angeles the day after the finals. It is conceivable how much Walton likes the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the Lakers have some strong team history, but The record in recent years has been unsatisfactory, and he has been swept away by the Clippers next door many times, and his face has been swept away.

They also said that the new owner of Los Angeles should be the Clippers!

The 2016 NBA ended more than a week before the start of the draft. The Cavaliers brought Cleveland a championship trophy that had never been seen in 52 years, and the Warriors failed to defend their title.

Some recent transactions are also very shocking. During the game, Ross was traded to the Knicks and teamed up with Anthony. The Red Bulls seem to be selling Butler.

Li Qian didn't know what it was like, because the two of them had fought against him before, and now they were almost bought by Red Bull.

Soon, Li Qian met with the Los Angeles Lakers. Luke Wharton was the first to shake hands with Li Qian. Randall seemed not very interested in Li Qian and did not take the initiative to shake hands with him.

Li Qian felt that this was bad. Randall didn't seem to like him very much, so he shook hands with Russell without thinking too much. Clarkson didn't appear in the Lakers lineup.

"Where's Clarkson?" Li Qian asked Russell secretly.

Russell looked at Randall and said to Li Qian, "The Lakers traded you with the No. 32 pick and Clarkson!"

Li Qian was stunned. It turned out that Kubchak traded Clarkson and the No. 32 pick to trade him. Randall was a little unhappy, which was normal.

"Man, I don't think you're better than Clarkson." Randall said with a straight face and malicious intent.

Because in terms of friendship alone, Clarkson and Randall are not bad, and he certainly doesn't want to see a rookie he doesn't like come to fill his position.

"Hey, don't be like this, we will fight side by side in the future, and I will be very sad if Clarkson is traded." Li Qian said embarrassedly, because he had no idea that the Lakers would choose him, so he didn't know what the Lakers' bargaining chip was. .

Wharton wanted to see that Randall didn't want to see Li Qian, so he had to go over to relieve the tense atmosphere.

"We are all our own family. We need to trust each other, play hard together, and hold a press conference for Li Qian."

Randall quietly walked aside, and Russell stood beside Li Qian, and said with some doubts: "I seem to have seen it before! You broke into our locker room!"

"Haha, that's true, and I told you something." Li Qian also remembered that when he was watching the Wizards game, he broke into the Lakers locker room and asked for Kobe's autograph, but it was all for Ake. West.

Li Qian patted Russell on the shoulder, gave him a look, and left with the people who came to ask him to attend the press conference.

After sitting down, Li Qian faced reporters and was a little at a loss because he had no idea that such a thing would happen on the day of the draft, so he came to the Lakers in a strange way. If reporters asked him, it would be difficult to answer.

Kubchak and Luke Walton accompanied Li Qian to the press conference.

"May I ask Mr. Kubchak, why did you choose Li Qian? He has returned from injury, and he is not sure how his strength will recover." The first question the reporter asked was Li Qian's injury, and Li Qian sat on the sidelines as if on pins and needles.

"That's right, we think he has unlimited potential. Like Ingram, they will inject a lot of energy into us, that's for sure."

"Then I would like to ask, at Ingram's press conference, why did you say that he is the only future for the Lakers." A female reporter asked not to be outdone.

"I never said that, maybe you heard it wrong, what I said is, they are the future of the Lakers." Kubchak hates this kind of trouble, because he didn't say those words at all, and he Not stupid enough to say those things.

Soon the focus was on Li Qian.

"May I ask how you feel after being traded to the Lakers?"

Li Qian said calmly: "At that time, I thought I would go to the Suns, because the Suns had already chosen me, but then President Library came to me and said, you were traded to the Lakers. I was a little confused at the time, but now I am eager to give it a try. Yes, I want to play for the Lakers."

Suddenly a reporter seemed anxious. She stood up suddenly. The other reporters were a little frightened. Even Kubchak and Walton who were sitting were frightened. Only Li Qian had surprise in his eyes!

"Please, Mr. Li, do you think you can become a superstar?" Taylor asked, looking at Li Qian playfully.

Li Qian was dumbfounded now, who would ask such a question?I'm afraid only Taylor dared to ask such a question in public, and since he asked, he had to answer it.

"Um, I haven't thought about this. It will take time to prove it. I don't know yet. I also hope that I can become a superstar. The journey is very far away, haha." Li Qian smiled awkwardly, and gave Taylor a blank look. The others were taken aback.

After a series of answers, the press conference was finally over. Taylor estimated that he asked five or six questions, and Li Qian was almost exhausted answering them.

Kubchak and Wharton didn't have many questions, just a few words and a few words, and Li Qian was rounded up by all the reporters.

After Li Qian returned to the arena, he saw Ingram coming, and went to say hello to him: "Hey, buddy, please take care of me in the future."

"Ahaha, the same thing, let's work together." Ingram was a little funny, and answered Li Qian's words with a smile.
