Chris Webber, who is synonymous with the Kings' trade, was interpreted by many experts as "Allen Iverson puts pressure on the team in order to achieve better results in the new season."

After all, after Larry Brown led the Pistons to win the championship, there were many very unfavorable remarks for Allen Iverson, which would definitely make Allen Iverson pay close attention to the team's performance next season, and it would become a normal phenomenon to force the palace.

But this statement was quickly rejected.

If Allen Iverson really put pressure on the team, the Sixers would not just choose a player like Chris Webber who was already in the middle and late stages of his career and had minimally invasive surgery last season as a reinforcement to fool Allen Iverson.

The impact of minimally invasive surgery on a player is not to be described in too many words. Just look at Hardaway, you will know how minimally invasive surgery captured his spirituality on the court at the peak of his time.

A player who is at the peak of his career cannot escape from minimally invasive surgery, let alone an inside player who has slowly declined from his peak.

So after this deal attracted a lot of attention from the league, no one soon discussed it. Many experts and even fans put a big question mark on Chris Webber's performance in the new season.

...

A few days after the end of the deal, Li Yuan also signed the first contract of his career with Babu Koba, accompanied by Leon Ross, 14.78 million in four years, which is a little higher than Li Yuan's own expectations. However, this deduction of Leon Ross' commission and taxes is actually no different from not having a high price.

Li Yuan has been busy with personal training during this period. Although he has not been training for a week, he has not had a long rest after the trial training, so his entire state recovers very quickly. If nothing unexpected happens, according to the current progress, he can adjust his state to his best state before the start of the summer league.

Due to the proper protection of Leon Rose these days, he was not affected by the media because of the news that Vince Carter was traded, but he himself knew very well that he could never face the media. The purity of this period was only a more violent rebound afterwards. He dared to bet that at the beginning of the summer league, he would be locked firmly by Toronto, including the entire league media, as if bitten by the hunting dogs. They would use the camera as a microscope to observe him, and they might even want to slice him for research. There is no way, he is definitely the most popular newcomer now and the most mysterious newcomer so far.

After all, so far, no media knows why Babu Koba gave up Vince Carter for him, and why he bet on him for the fate of the new season!

Li Yuan is actually a little nervous. Such high exposure will be nervous as long as he is a normal person. Li Yuan is of course a normal person, so he is a little nervous, but he also knows that all he can do is to try his best to adjust his condition and then show all these in the summer league. As for whether what he shows can meet the expectations of these media, how will these media evaluate him at that time? This is not something he can control!

However, even if these media don’t have a high opinion of him at that time, as long as he tries his best on the court, he won’t care about those evaluations.

In addition to personal training these days, Li Yuan also did something, which was to send Vince Carter a text message after the Raptors and Wizards issued statements one after another. The content was very simple, expressing the regret of not being a teammate with him, and also wishing him to continue to have a strong performance in the new team.

Vince Carter is a very special existence to Li Yuan.

Although as Li Yuan said, they failed to become teammates, after Li Yuan joined the Raptors, he came to defeat Vince Carter in a one-on-one challenge, which inspired his fighting spirit. In addition, after he was selected, Vince Carter also called to congratulate him at the first time, and what Vince Carter said at that time: This is a good city, and there are also a group of great fans. I hope you can play your own performance here and lead the team back to the top. I hope you can do it... After these things happened, Li Yuan reminisces about this passage, which made him feel a little responsibility, just like the feeling of a senior who handed over the baton to the junior.

It is also these special emotions that make Li Yuan feel that he wants to send this message in terms of emotion and reason.

However, Vince Carter did not reply to the news. Li Yuan was a little surprised. When he told Leon Rose to listen, the latter was not surprised at all: "He is a very arrogant person. When you are placed in his opposite direction by the media, there is only one way to talk to you, that is, the competition on the court!"

"But..." Leon Rose's expression was a little more joking, as if there was a good show to start in the near future. "You should be happy to treat Vince Carter with this attitude. This shows that he recognizes your strength and wants to defeat you on the court... Haha, I'm a little looking forward to your first meeting in the new season!"

Li Yuan looked at Leon Ross, who was not afraid of trouble when watching the fun, and couldn't help rolling his eyes at him.

This old and inappropriate thing!

...

In the next week, there were constant trades of all sizes in the league, and only when it comes to influence, it did not exceed the current Raptors' trade in Vince Carter.

However, the media and fans of the entire league continue to maintain a high concentration, and learn about the latest updates about NBA teams through various channels anytime, anywhere. They all believe that this summer's free market will not simply end.

And while the waiting of these media and fans, the summer league day has arrived.

Li Yuan finished his personal training one day in advance and took a good rest for a day. The next morning, he appeared in the stadium ten minutes before the specified time, and met with other teammates of the Raptors who participated in the summer league.

The head coach of the Raptors' summer league this year is Phil Handy, who is a member of Sam Mitchell's assistant coaching team and chief assistant coach. Mitchell wants to quickly get to know these rookies in the closed training camp before the new season, and he will be responsible for the most important intelligence transmission work.

"Ding, new mission: The summer league has been added to the mission list, please check it out by yourself!"

While the Raptors' summer league team officially gathered, Li Yuan also received a new system task:

"New Mission: Summer League."

"Task description: 1. If you can't perform well among a group of rookies, how can you gain a foothold in the NBA regular season with higher levels? The host should work hard to improve his data."

"Task rewards: Average 35 points or average 25 assists or average 25 rebounds or average 15 steals or average 15 blocks per game, get a chance to draw a level S skill card once; average 30 points or average 20 assists or average 20 rebounds or average 10 steals or average 10 blocks per game, get a chance to draw a level A skill card once; average 25 points per game... a chance to draw a level B skill card once; average ..."

"Task description: 2. If you cannot lead the team to win against a group of rookies or league marginal players, how can you gain a foothold in the NBA regular season with a higher level? The host should work hard to lead the team to win."
