Chapter 116: The Last Stop: Los Angeles
Wei Xia returned to the hotel, and Lala Darby kept asking about the results of the trial.
"Not very good." Wei Xia would not hide it in front of the people close to him.
"Not very good?" Dabi understood that Wei Xia's trial was not going well, "I'm not in good condition today?"
Wei Xia shook her 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 was really aware of Wei Xia's sensitivity on and off the court.
Wei Xia felt that what he said next would affect Dabi's mood.
It's really strange. Even though things are not decided, the control is not in Wei Xia's hands. He can fool Dabi like he fooled that little girl.
Even if he said he had a good trial, he would not only get Darby's smile without any other impact.
Although trial training and drafting work hard to promote common results, the only thing players can control is trial training. Which team they can go to is not something they can control.
Wei Xia was unwilling to lie to Dabi, that's all.
"No, Isaiah Thomas likes me very much, and Larry Brown doesn't seem to like me because he is North Carolina and I'm late today. It's normal for him to have a bad impression of me, but my trial performance should satisfy him."
"Since that's the case, why don't you feel good about the Knicks?"
Wei Xia was unwilling to complicate things. The Knicks gave him a bad feeling. He didn't like the Knicks, it was that simple.
"I don't like the Knicks." Wei Xia said directly.
Darby was silent for a while and said, "Do you know that even if their record ranks at the bottom of the league, they are still the most profitable team in the league?"
Wei Xia smiled lightly and said, "I know, and I also know that the money they make will not go into the players' pockets."
"But if you can do your grades there, you will be more popular than Patrick Ewing, your business value will be unparalleled, and you will be held in the palm of the mean New York media like a newborn baby..."
Is the person Dabi always said is really me? Wei Xia thought funnyly.
He doesn't like to deal with the media. He has been like this since he was a child and will not change in the future. He doesn't think he will be liked by the media in New York.
"What if I didn't achieve anything? Have you ever thought about it?" Wei Xia said lightly, "What you said about Ewing is also the reason why I am tired of this team. They ignored Patrick's contribution and sent him to Seattle when others were old and old. I don't want to play for such a team."
Darby is quite debating and insists on fighting with Wei Xia to the end, just to say whether there is any problem with the Knicks.
"That was the Knicks in the past. The management who gave up Ewing was completely different from the management today. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given Alan Houston a contract as big as that!"
Dabi's understanding of the Knicks is far beyond Wei Xia's imagination.
Suddenly, he understood.
If he remembers correctly, Darby is a New Yorker...
The argument was fruitless. Few people could convince Wei Xia, who had established a stereotype. Wei Xia had a bad sense of the Knicks. Today's trial made his impression of this team fall to the lowest point. Compared with the Warriors, it is really not a good place.
He didn't convince Dabi, and Dabi didn't convince him. This was the second time they had a disagreement, even bigger than the last time, so big that Wei Xia saw Dabi walking around in her underwear without giving birth to any pheromone.
Wei Xia's trial end is Los Angeles.
A while ago, the Clippers proposed to give them half a day to try out, but Dan Feigan thought it was unnecessary. Wei Xia had tried enough teams. The Clippers really wanted him, and they had all the information they should get, so there was no need to try out.
Feigan even felt that there was no need to try out for the Lakers, they only had the tenth pick in the first round.
It is impossible to choose Wei Xia for this signing position.
Wei Xia still decided to go to the Lakers for a trial.
Today is June 18. Not long ago, the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons fought for seven games in the finals, successfully reducing the Finals' ratings to an all-time lowest.
Real guns and live ammunition to fight head-on, from the more ruthless side to the end.
The Spurs hold the cup.
At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Phil Jackson, who resigned in 2004, would regain the Lakers' coaching point.
As 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 to fail to make the playoffs. His authority was weakened, and the Zen master's return was very respectful, and his authority was greater than in the past.
Just so happened that when Wei Xia came to Los Angeles from New York, the Zen Master had already started to take charge of all the affairs of the Lakers.
At Los Angeles International Airport, when Wei Xia walked out with her luggage, only two people recognized him.
On the left is a strong white man, on the right is a small Asian.
It was his best friends Dick Long and Lee Zhongxian who were studying in California. Since graduating from high school, Wei Xia has only the opportunity to get together with them during holidays. Today he came to Los Angeles for a trial training, and they took the initiative to pick them up and drop them off.
"You said you'll come here, why are you bringing gifts?" Dalong said while helping Wei Xia put his luggage into the trunk.
Wei Xia received the most gifts along the way, and the legendary signature jerseys of each team.
He specially selected the signature jerseys of Michael Jordan and Chris Mullin for them. Although it was just a jersey, it was valuable because it was handed by Wei Xia and the players' autographs.
Oh, he had a jersey from Isaiah Thomas on hand, and he decided to keep it himself.
Reason 1: If you can't give it, it's worthless, especially the Smiling Assassin's operation of the Knicks' dark clouds and turning his hands into a sour rain has become a contemporary villain. Nothing related to him has the value of anything that has not decreased.
Reason 2: His father Wei Mingliang "want" this jersey for some reason.
Dalong drove the car, and Wei Xia talked about his recent situation with them.
From this they learned about the Warriors and the Knicks’ draft commitment to Wei Xia.
"Awesome Nishiba! So, you are guaranteed the eighth pick now?" Li Zhongxian shouted in surprise.
Wei Xia laughed dryly, it was hard to say anything. He couldn't say that the last thing he wanted to see was the Knicks who chose the eighth pick, right?
They went to a nearby Chinese restaurant to eat.
Although there is no delicious food in the Chinese restaurant, it is one thing that is good: mostly for buffets.
Wei Xia ate whatever she saw, not being restrained at all, and she didn't look like she was about to become an NBA player.
He was indifferent to the afternoon trial and talked about interesting stories about high school with Dalong and Li Zhongxian.
Things that once thought they were glamorous now look as embarrassing as non-mainstream talks in QQ space.
Wei Xia asked about their current situation.
Li Zhongxian has no plans at the moment, so he is a day of hard work, while Dalong plays in the university American football team. Their school is the weak team among the weak team, and he is the water dispenser among the weak team.
It is basically impossible to play a career in the future, so you have to plan for graduation early.
Wei Xia came up with a few bad ideas for them.
He thought that Li Zhongxian had a loud voice and could sing tenors in the future.
He also believes that Dalong's muscles are overdeveloped and may be able to be a fitness coach.
His suggestion was ruthlessly refuted.
