When checking out, the waiter told Wang Lifan that Ke Yan had already paid the bill.

Wang Lifan frowned and looked at Ke Yan: "Didn't you agree that I'll invite you this time?"

Ke Yan patted his head and said, "When I go out for dinner with people, I don't like to fight with others for the sake of paying the bill. I always pay in advance. I forgot that this time I promised you invited it..."

Wang Lifan looked at him and said, "How much is it, I'll give you the money!"

Ke Yan said, "No need, I'll treat you this meal. You owe me two meals. Wouldn't it be enough to invite me back in the future?"

Wang Lifan kept staring at him and didn't say anything.

Ke Yan smiled and looked outside and said, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Wang Lifan stomped his feet and walked straight out.

This reaction disappointed Ke Yan a little. Could it be that "she likes me" one of the three major illusions in life?

But it is not like it! On the one hand, the communication between the two people was sparked and lightning, and they were both humans for two lives. Ke Yan can basically confirm this. On the other hand, Wang Lifan was not a fan before he met Ke Yan. She even only heard of Kobe and didn't know him. Such a girl would go to Staples to watch the football and would propose to go to the Hawks to watch the football at home on New Year's Eve. Isn't this a show of kindness?

Gene mutation, suddenly fell in love with basketball?

After sending Wang Lifan back to his residence, Ke Yan asked, "I've agreed to see you on New Year's Eve?"

Wang Lifan nodded: "Yes."

Ke Yan waved his hand and drove away.

Wang Lifan watched Ke Yan's car disappear from his sight, and then took out his cell phone.

There are several missed calls shown above, all from Hebe.

She dialed back, and Hebe's relieved voice came from over there, "What have you done? I don't answer the phone after calling?"

Wang Lifan hesitated for a while before saying, "It's not convenient to answer the phone in the library."

"In the library at night..." Hebe muttered and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have a New Year's Day holiday. Then I'll go to Atlanta to find you."

“…”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Lifan looked at his cell phone and was slightly distracted.

The next day, when Ke Yan came to the stadium, Kupchek and Tomjanovic were already waiting in his office. As soon as he entered the door, Ke Yan greeted Kupchek and Tomjanovic and immediately got to the point.

"Kimi, I have contacted the Kings with the last player trade list you proposed." Kupchek took out a document and said: "The Kings proposed to want Divac to return, and if we want, the trade can be done. But in this way, our inside line is too weak."

The Kings promoted Brad Miller to be the main center this season and partnered with Chris Weber. The performance was pretty good, but the team lacked a substitute inside line. With Chris Weber increasing injuries, no one could stand up. Divac is a former player of the Kings. He cooperated well with Brad Miller in the Kings last season. The Kings wanted him back as a spare tire, and it was also good to use it. After all, the price was just a Barnes who was completely useless.

"I think the team still needs Vlad to provide some inside protection." Tomjanovic expressed his own opinion.

Although Anderson's main center is an unexpected surprise for the Lakers, the team's inside line is still weak, and Grant has obviously deteriorated and is useless. Apart from Divac, the team only has Mim, a substitute inside line.

"The team's overall offensive and defensive pace in the new season is still relatively fast. Veterans like Divac and Grant are really hard to perform well in the team. And if some defensive resources are really needed, there are more people who are suitable than him. "Ke Yan thought for a little while and issued a name, "If you really just act as a meat shield, Dessa Gena Diop of the Cavaliers will be very suitable for carrying people."

This guy has ordinary abilities, but the inside top defense big center is the top in the league. In his previous life, he relied on the attributes of the flesh shield and took turns to fight O'Neal in the finals, which made the Shark very uncomfortable. He won 20 in none of the 6 games. It was because he fought hard to withstand O'Neal's performance in the finals that Diop later got a big contract from Cuban.

If Divac is "upgraded" to Diop, if he encounters the Spurs in the playoffs, he should not have been able to perform at the God of War level like Duncan in the first regular season duel.

Of course, if you expect him to be able to limit the top insiders, you will think too much, and his positioning is the meat shield.

What Ke Yan said was not without reason. Although the way he expressed his opinions was a bit strong, even said he was aggressive, and he felt like he wanted to seize power, Tomjanovic was quite generous and didn't care.

"Then I'll talk to Gund~" While talking, Kupchek had already obtained Diop's first-hand information, and his resume was even worse than Anderson!

"As for Steve Blake and Boris Dior, the price of each other is too high, we can't accept it." Kuppchek said with his hands spreading out.

In response to the Lakers' asking Dior for the price, the Hawks proposed to ask the Lakers' Luke Walton. If Ke Yan knew about this deal, he would definitely agree without saying a word, but Kupchek felt that the Eagles' Lions spoke up.

What did Boris Dior perform last season? He made 76 appearances in rookie season, including 37 games, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, scoring 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists, averaging 4.1 shots, 1.8 shots, a shooting percentage of 44.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 23.1%, a total of 26 shots, and 6 shots. The free throw shooting percentage was 60.2%, and 56 shots were also bad.

Just such a guy, I have the nerve to call him "French Magician". The French have met a magician, do you know who the magician is?

As for Blake, the Wizards asked Chris Meim to strengthen the inside and the substitute guard replaced the substitute center. The Wizards felt it was very authentic, but Kupchek still hung up the phone.

These days, centers of the same level are much more valuable than guards!

As an assistant coach, Ke Yan is not convenient to understand too much of the content of the transaction negotiations. It is already very good that he can propose and promote Barnes's franchise!

Kupchek contacted the Kings and the Cavaliers to express his intention to trade. After only twenty minutes, both sides gave feedback and were willing to reach a deal. The Lakers sent Devin George away, exchanged Diop from the Cavaliers, sent out Divac, and obtained Barnes and a second round pick from the Kings. (Injured players can trade as long as the injury is not hidden and the recipient recognizes it)

Except for Divac, the two transactions involved players at the bottom of the league, and there was no storm. Perhaps only the Kings fans would think the team made a profit.

The grudge between Kobe and O'Neal is the focus of fans' attention. The league directly put the showdown between these two people in the Christmas battle, which also attracted a lot of attention.

During the period before the Christmas game, the Lakers' schedule was relatively easy. They achieved 3 wins and 1 loss in the consecutive games against the Clippers, Suns, Grizzlies and Wizards, improving the team's performance to 18-10. They also took this opportunity to surpass the mosaic team led by Yao and Mac, and came to the fifth place in the West. Kobe also won the Player of the Week for the second time in the season with averaging 31.4 points and 6.7 rebounds. He continued to chase Iverson in the scoring list, and surpassed Duncan and Iverson in the MVP rankings, and came to the third place.

The second-ranked person is exactly the fat man Kobe hates the most! This Christmas battle does not require mobilization for Kobe!
