Chapter 117 Let the world focus on Orlando(1/6)
In the final fourth quarter of the All-Star Game, Li Wan went up to cooperate with Kobe Bryant and played two alley-oops. The Lakers reporters at the scene kept pressing the shutter, with undisguised expressions of joy. In the post-game reports, even though it had not yet happened
You can see it from their appearance: Kobe and his "Pippen".
At the end of the game, Li Wan only played 16.5 minutes as a starter. Among the starters, only Yao Ming played less time than him, and 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 about to overturn.
When the buzzer sounded, Chris Paul rushed up and gave a "punch warning", but LeBron James dodged it happily. This was his second time entering the All-Star Weekend and he won the MVP...
What does "Chosen Son" mean?
but……
After the game, reporters all ran to interview Li Wan.
The sudden exposure of his love affair made him the biggest focus tonight.
Li Wan felt very uneasy, not because the reporter asked how the two people developed, but because he was afraid that the news of his being traded would be exposed at this time.
Then tonight, he won't be able to sleep.
Fortunately, interviews during All-Star Weekend are also time-limited. Once the stipulated time is up, reporters have to leave whether they want to or not.
When Li Wan returned to the locker room, the small room that was still bustling in the morning was now empty and quiet.
This is probably the only quiet place now.
With a large number of reports, Li Wan and Taylor's romance spread across the United States overnight and exploded across the United States.
Odom immediately opened the phone to Li Wan: "Man, is Taylor's mysterious boyfriend really you?"
Kim Kardashian was eating steak and singing when she suddenly saw Lee Wan and Swift announcing their relationship during the All-Star Weekend. She was stunned.
Due to program conflicts, the "Five Golden Flowers" of the Kardashians did not go to the lights of New Orleans during this All-Star Weekend.
I didn't expect that...
Li Wan just let Swift get robbed!
Two days ago, this girl confessed her love at the Grammys. She also saw the news, but she never expected that it was Li Wan who confessed her love!
She had all the heat right now...
The days without Swift are the best days for the Kardashian family!
She looked up at the other side of the long table, where Jenna was sitting. Seeing how she kept her head down and said nothing, holding a knife and fork and clenching her teeth to cut the steak, she should have known about this.
Jenna has been a bit crazy lately. The day before yesterday, she stayed in front of the TV and watched the Rookie Challenge. Unexpectedly...it ended before it even started.
In addition, in a high-end office building in Los Angeles, Ivanka, dressed in professional attire, watched the coffee machine rotating and stirring at work. After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Wan. In one short word: Congratulations!
While these women were digesting Li Wan's love affair, a piece of bombshell news came out in the league late at night: the Lakers, Magic and Grizzlies reached a three-way deal.
The Lakers sent Li Wan, the 2008 first-round pick and the signing rights of Aaron McGee, Radmanovic, Marcus Williams, Chris Mihm, Karl and Marc Gasol to get
Pau Gasol, Ariza, Redick, Nelson;
The Grizzlies sent Pau Gasol and a second-round pick to get the Lakers' 2008 first-round picks, the Magic's 2008 and 2010 first-round picks, these Lakers players, and the signing rights to Marc Gasol
;
The Magic sent Ariza, Redick, and Nelson, and received Lee Wan and the Grizzlies' second-round draft pick;
…
The transaction was reported at 2:45 am.
Li Wan had just finished doing something with Swift and took a look at his cell phone. He saw that Tai Lun had called him several times, but he had muted them. He didn't want to get a sudden call when he was about to ask for something.
These missed calls show that his decision was correct.
After glancing at Swift, who was still calming down, Li Wan called back. As soon as the call was connected, Tai Lun 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. Li Wan felt very calm at the moment: "About what time will you arrive tomorrow?"
"We'll be there around 8 o'clock..."
"OK!"
After briefly speaking, when Li Wan turned around, Taylor had already sat up with the quilt wrapped around him.
But... I was surrounded by loneliness.
She looked at Li Wan with stars in her eyes.
"Let's go and take a shower..."
Before she could say anything, Li Wan reached out to pick her up.
There was a soft cry, and when Taylor reacted, his head was already leaning on Li Wan's arms.
Frankly speaking, Taylor Swift, who is 1.80 meters tall, can hardly give people the impression of a small woman. Even though her frame is not too big for a 180cm woman, her figure is here.
She seems a bit delicate at the moment.
The battle between the two of them was over, but there was gradually more noise from the outside world.
The time goes back to 2:45 in the morning.
When Li Wan learned that his deal was officially concluded, Abby Rosenthal, the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, looked at the fresh copy of the New York Times in front of him, carefully flipped through 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 three hours, this newspaper that has passed the review will be printed into countless copies and sent to various states in the United States. It will become a way for people from all walks of life to get information when they get up early in the morning.
One of the ways to pass the time.
But just as the assistant went out with the newspaper, the phone on the corner of the table rang.
He could frown, but without hesitation, he reached for the microphone.
In the past, there would be no phone calls at this time.
The reason for the call, more than 80% of the reasons, is only one...
Something big happened!
"Sure?"
This time, there was no exception. After receiving the confirmation, Rosenthal quickly found his assistant.
"Quickly, notify the editors in the sports department. Within half an hour, I will see a sufficiently detailed report about Li Wan being traded!"
After saying that, he walked to the coffee machine and skillfully brewed a cup of extra strong bitter coffee.
He knew very well that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!
A big war begins for him...
There are many editors like him!
Fortunately, this kind of thing is nothing new to this industry. After working overtime, they finally managed to get their newspapers to various newsstands and some newspaper selling agencies before dawn as usual.
.
"Shocking, this season's free market buzzer-beater deal, the Lakers sent Li Wan!"
"Li Wan was sent away just to win the championship? The Lakers fought hard!"
"Send away the phenomenal newcomers, Kobe and the Lakers, and finally chose now!"
…
Following these media reports, on January 15th, the first day after the All-Star Game, the United States went into a frenzy!
In previous years, when the All-Star Weekend ended and the free trade market ended, there would always be some amazing deals announced, and NBA fans were ready to "eat the melon".
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 won the Rookie Challenge.
Winning the MVP trophy, phenomenal super rookie Li Wan became an All-Star starter in Los Angeles’ first rookie season in more than a decade...
Got traded to Orlando!
Who would have thought?
No one would have thought!
You know, before the All-Star Weekend ended last night, the Lakers team reporter had just uploaded a photo of Li Wan and Kobe Bryant cooperating on the court on his personal Twitter.
——Kobe and "Pippen"!
In just one hour, this tweet had thousands of comments.
