After Li Yan called the "seven aunts and eight aunts" of the Nuggets, he dialed Kobe's number.
On the other end of the phone.
Kobe was silent for a long time when he learned that Li Yan had chosen the Knicks. Li Yan even thought his phone was broken.
After a long period of silence, Kobe finally spoke:
"Li, you are the second Chinese player to reject me. Chinese fans love me so much. Why are you doing this?"
"Yao was like that then, and you are like that now." Kobe laughed at himself: "Would you rather go to a bad team like the Knicks than come to the Lakers to play with me?"
"Yao was doing it for personal reasons. Can you please tell me who from the Knicks you have a relationship with?"
It can be heard that Kobe is still quite angry about Li Yan's choice. He doesn't know where he lost.
"Um, Kobe." Li Yan said, "I don't mean anything else. You are the number one player in the league in my heart now. I feel like there is no challenge at all if I go to find you."
"I wanted to challenge myself, and New York is the most difficult, so I chose it." Li Yan explained.
"Huh? Want to challenge yourself?" Kobe said viciously: "Boy, wait until you are beaten by me!"
"In the end, you will come to me yourself, Kobe, and take me to win the championship together!" Kobe said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will think about it carefully."
"Hahaha." Li Yan was amused by Kobe. He didn't expect Kobe to be quite humorous.
However, Li Yan never lost when he boasted. Li Yan teased: "Kobe, even if I lose, I will not surrender to the enemy."
"Besides, I already have FMVP!"
"roll!!!"
Kobe roared angrily, and the phone turned into a blind tone.
Um, I'm quite angry, I really can't take a joke. Li Yan complained.
Later, Li Yan also had a phone call with Nowitzki.
Nowitzki personally came to recruit Li Yan, but Li Yan still wanted to give King Nuo Tian this face.
Compared to Kobe, Nowitzki is much calmer.
Mainly, the Mavericks' probability of success was low, and Kobe thought he had a chance to win.
Indeed, the Lakers are Li Yan's best choice from any angle. It can only be said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
…………
After the finals, both Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue had a phone call with Li Yan.
There is not much age difference between the three of them, and their communication is relatively smooth.
In addition to congratulations, both of them have the idea of learning from Li Yan. After all, Li Yan is the most successful rookie in history.
From "second round pick" to "FMVP", Li Yan's miracles are even better than "Magic" Johnson.
Li Yan has no secrets. He naturally hopes that the Chinese players will be as strong as possible, so that everyone will not be so tired.
When playing in an Asian competition, you can arrange a class and take turns; when it comes to international competitions, there will also be people to share the pressure.
Sun Yue's predicted ranking is 20 to the end of the first round, so the pressure on him is not too great.
Yi Jianlian was invited into the "little green room" and attracted the attention of people across the country.
Previously, in order to keep his draft pick, Yi Jianlian selectively participated in trial training at the suggestion of his agent Fagan.
This avoids exposing your shortcomings.
Li Yan told Yi Jianlian his opinion: a team that suits him is more important than a high draft pick.
Li Yan also told Yi Jianlian without hesitation: "Ah Lian, I have decided to join the New York Knicks."
"The New York Knicks' No. 8 pick is reserved for you. This is one of the conditions for me to join the Knicks."
"You don't have to worry about your ranking falling too much. To be honest, is there a big difference between the No. 3 pick and the No. 8 pick?" Li Yan enlightened:
"Besides, I, a second-round pick, will get 16 million next season, while our top pick will only get less than 5 million."
"In the Knicks, I will pass the ball to you. If your English is not good, you can learn it slowly. I will be your translator."
Yi Jianlian was obviously moved. He asked: "What if the team in front chooses me?"
"Haha, this is easy." Li Yan suggested:
"Go to the trial training. Haven't Milwaukee always wanted you to go to the trial training? Go, show your shortcomings, they will give up."
"Well, isn't this a bad idea?" Yi Jianlian said hesitantly, "My team's previous strategy was not like this."
"It's okay, you can think about it yourself." Li Yan just wanted to help Yi Jianlian, and he had no intention of becoming a nanny.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. It's you who make the decision."
Two hours later, Yi Jianlian called: "Brother Yan, according to what you said, the Knicks will choose me, right?"
Li Yan smiled: "A-Lian, my next contract will be signed after the draft. Do you think they will choose it?"
"Then I'll be relieved." Yi Jianlian breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Li Yan and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian's personality is somewhat introverted, and his ability to adapt to the environment is not that strong.
Now, with Li Yan's help, Yi Jianlian has more confidence in his future in the NBA.
…………
After finishing his business, Li Yan finally started his vacation.
Li Yan has not forgotten the fact that he agreed to attend the "Taylor Swift" concert.
Although "Taylor Swift" debuted only a short time ago, she has accumulated a lot of popularity with the sales of two consecutive albums.
Her concert in New York's Madison Square was sold out.
"Taylor Swift" stood in the center of the stage wearing a white glittering dress, and her whole body was "glittering".
The fans in the audience shouted like crazy.
Li Yan felt a shaking like the earth was shaking backstage in the dressing room.
These fans were much crazier than most fans, shouting at the top of their lungs.
The concert went on for a while.
"Taylor Swift" stood on the stage and said: "Everyone, I will invite tonight's mysterious guest."
“This is his first time on stage, so everyone here is witnessing history.
However, in another field he is an absolute SUperStar! "
"I believe many people know him well, so let's invite him to the stage with cheers!"
As Swift's words fell, fans cheered and loud music filled the scene.
Then Li Yan slowly rose from the lifting platform with his back on his back.
With his tall back, even a tall girl like Swift looks like a "little bird" next to him.
Many people have already guessed the identity of this mysterious guest.
As the music changed, Li Yan turned around, and a close-up was immediately shown on the large central screen.
The fans at the scene were shouting crazily, and the atmosphere of the concert reached its climax.
Although the scene was huge, Li Yan was already used to the feeling of being the center of attention.
He took the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, I am NBA player Li Yan. I am very happy to come to New York."
The fans at the scene burst into joy. Li Yan is also quite famous in New York.
I don’t know, but someone shouted from the audience: “Lee, come to the Knicks!”
This resonated with everyone, and tens of thousands of people in the audience cheered for the Knicks.
Good guy, the Knicks have never shouted so loudly during a game.
"It seems that everyone likes Li very much." Swift smiled and said, "I have a hunch that you will see him here often in the future."
"WOW!" "WOW!" "WOW!"
The whole Madison Garden was erupting.
Everyone knows that "Taylor Swift" has a close relationship with Li Yan, and "Taylor Swift"'s words are definitely not groundless.
Li Yan and "Taylor Swift" sang a love song from the new album.
The atmosphere at the scene continued to climax.
At the end of the stage, "Taylor Swift" directly hooked her arms around Li Yan's neck and gave her a passionate kiss.
Li Yan didn't expect "Taylor Swift" to be so bold and was a little surprised.
"Taylor Swift" smiled proudly. Li Yan turned off the mic, leaned into "Tiffany Swift"'s ear and said:
"Dare to tease me and see how I deal with you at night..."
