Chapter 119 The draft is over
Elgin Baylor was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that a young man who had such affection for the Clippers would be traded by him. What was he feeling? Hey, Elgin Baylor was extremely melancholy. Chandler was excited.
After coming off the draft table, his agent pulled him over.
"Tyson, let me tell you something. Before the draft, the No. 4 pick belonged to the Bulls. That means you are not a Clippers player, but a Bulls player."
Bulls player? Chandler was stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality because he thought of that three-on-three game in Golden State, where he was ravaged by Eddy Curry, that guy
It was only thanks to Li Lei's passing that we scored so many points.
"Well, they gave away Marcus Fizer in order to draft you, so next season you go to the Bulls and 90% of the time you will be the starter. Work hard. Can I continue to get more draws in the future?"
It's up to you." Chandler's agent is not a big-name agent. He has only a few players like Perry Rogers.
Chandler was even more happy when he heard this. They soon had a round with Li Lei backstage. At this time, Li Lei was surrounded by a bunch of reporters. Ninety percent of these reporters were from China.
. Leinsdorf's eyes only gleamed when he saw it.
"Jerry, maybe we can't win the championship by choosing Bruce, but we can still get enough economic benefits. We are definitely the most profitable in this draft."
Jerry Krause chuckled. The fat man was a little complacent. Li Lei and Chandler were selected in the draft, and there were not many candidates left. Plus Artest and Elton Brand were on the team.
, the overall framework of the team is very complete. Basically, as long as Li Lei plays 70% of the NCAA's level, the Bulls will never stay in the lottery zone again, and compared with Jordan back then, Li Lei led
There are many more topics to talk about than the other party.
"Li Lei, you won't be the last Chinese to stand on this stage. Are you serious?"
Li Lei took off his hat and felt extremely uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people. "Of course it's true, why would you tell a lie."
The reporter stopped beeping, and the reporter below asked another question.
"I heard that you have joined the basketball roster of Ludong Province for this National Games. What are your expectations for the National Games?"
Zhan Zhan? What is that? I'm just doing it for competition, okay? "Well, no, I just think I've never participated in the National Games. It should be interesting."
Phew, the National Games was very interesting. This reporter didn't know what to say at all. Li Lei was just a joke in front of them, and there was no room for exaggeration. This was the most uncomfortable thing.
Because Li Lei was interviewed by so many people, Chandler was more or less taken care of. The other party vowed that he and Li Lei would beat all the other rookies in the new season. The boxing champion wanted to
Hugging Li Lei's thighs, he really didn't hide it at all.
The NBA draft is over. No one who entered the lottery this time fell out. This made Rashard Lewis a little disappointed after watching it in front of the TV for a long time. Damn it, why did he fall from the first round to the lottery when he was drafted?
In the second round, why don’t these idiots get this treatment? It’s like we have different fates.
The Bulls quickly signed a four-year contract worth 15.4 million yuan, of which the last two years are team options. Chandler's salary is 12.4 million U.S. dollars, making an average of 750,000 U.S. dollars less than Li Lei per year.
After Li Lei was selected, he started looking for a house in Chicago. Li Lei rented a house near Garfield Park, not far from the United Center. It was a 251-square-meter house, which was larger than the one Li Lei had in Los Angeles before.
Xiaowoju is so much nicer. The house was rented with the scholarship. So we can only make do. Now that we have money, why should we make do?
In addition to Li Lei, several other Bulls players are here in this community. Artest, Brand, and Crawford all bought houses here, and Brad Miller and Li Lei
The same rental, but compared to the previous three, Brad Miller has a one-year contract. Last season he averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game, and his contract is 4 million. As for whether he will renew his contract next season,
From the current point of view, the chance is not high. Jerry Krause brought Chandler here just to let Brad Miller go. This actually does no harm to Li Lei. There is one less person in the team who can handle the ball.
, it is definitely a very gratifying thing for those ball rights fanatics.
Chandler also found a house here, and he was next to Li Lei. After this guy was told that he was traded to the Bulls during the draft, he had the consciousness to be Li Lei's little brother.
"Bruce, you just came back from the arena. Do you want to go to a nightclub? Elton and the others have already gone. I haven't gone because I was waiting for you."
As soon as Li Lei arrived at the apartment, Chandler came up. As a Californian, this guy had a natural affinity for Li Lei, who also graduated from UCL. Of course, Li Lei also understood the other person's thoughts, which was to pass more passes for him in the new season.
A few goals, after all, he is a defensive gate, and his offensive ability is too average.
"Okay, let's walk." Li Lei finished taking a shower, patted Chandler on the shoulder, and drove towards the nightclub in Chandler's newly bought Porsche.
This is not the first time Li Lei has come to this nightclub. Not long after he signed the contract with Chandler, Brand and other senior members of the team invited him and the two of them to the nightclub to get together. Nowadays, basically everyone in the Chicago Bulls
They are young people, and the oldest one is Hoiberg, a rookie in 1995.
For Chandler and Li Lei, most of the Bulls welcome them, except for a few people, such as Ron Moser and AJ Guyton. The former Li Lei only knows that the other party is from the Kentucky Wildcats and has a basketball IQ.
Not high, he was played by Kaizi for a few years and was immediately ruined. He became a stepping stone for Pierce to rise to the top. He has been a wandering existence all these years. As for AJ Guyton, Li Lei didn't think about it for a long time.
Find out who the other party is.
He was last year's second-round pick from Indiana University, and he was also a No. 1 pick, so it is understandable that he is hostile to himself, but the data from the All-Seeing Eye shows that he is a scumbag. As a second-round pick last season
He averaged 19 minutes per game, but only delivered less than 1.8 assists. Crawford, a rookie in the same year as him, played 17 minutes and delivered 2.3 assists. Crawford is not the No. 1 position, but he is the real deal.
