189:New Bad Boys Legion(2/2)
But Babcock feels the opposite is true. The No. 1 pick is not something you can just get if you want to.
The Nuggets, Clippers, Cavaliers, and the Raptors themselves, the competition for the bad circle next season has become a mess, which is called a fierce competition.
No matter what the Grizzlies say, there is still Pau Gasol holding them back.
As for the other teams, they really don't have any good stars. On this road of failure, they are bound to go further than the Grizzlies.
Therefore, Babcock thinks the Grizzlies may be the No. 1 pick.
Besides, there is nothing but cotton fields in the Memphis area. Stern would be crazy to throw the No. 1 pick to that big rural area.
He decided to take a gamble. As long as the Grizzlies didn't win the No. 1 pick, the Grizzlies' draft pick would at least be in the top six.
Coupled with the Raptors' own draft picks, the Raptors will have two lottery picks in the summer of 2003!
This is crazy...
Not more fragrant than Li Ang?
After thinking about it all night, Babcock decided to take a gamble.
He bet that the Grizzlies wouldn't get the No. 1 pick, and that Dumars wouldn't be able to get a bullet out of the draft.
Just like that, the transaction happened.
The Pistons used the Grizzlies' protected first-round draft pick Clifford Robinson in 2003 to acquire last season's second-team forward Li Ang from the Toronto Raptors!
Billups, Hamilton, Lyon, Ben, and Joe Dupins have built a team without superstars, but when combined together, it can burst out with great power.
Moreover, these people are not easy to mess with. They are simply the bad boy army of the 21st century.
On the day the deal was concluded, Leon went to Detroit.
The first was to meet Dumas, and the second was to look for a house in advance.
I have to say that after I got used to living in Toronto and then came to Detroit, I really felt that the area was a bit rundown.
As soon as Li Ang walked out of the airport, he saw an off-road vehicle parked outside.
Taking a closer look, it was the tough guy with the afro who was driving.
"Li Hahahaha! Welcome to the car city!" Da Ben got out of the car and hugged Li Ang with his thick arms.
Li Ang never expected that after being teammates with Oakley, he would become teammates with Ben again.
The three of us, master and apprentice, are really destined.
"Elbow, get in the car!" Daben hugged Li Ang enthusiastically. He was in a great mood.
Yesterday, I heard that Li Ang was traded to the Pistons. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
"Where are you going? You won't take me to the training ground, will you? Can you let me rest for a while?"
"How can I take you to the training ground? I'll take you to meet the wind and wash the dust. Take the wind and wash the dust. The main thing is the word 'wash'. Come with me!"
After getting in the car, Ben introduced the city of Detroit to Li Ang.
Li Ang didn't hear anything, he only saw abandoned houses on the street.
Really, even small counties in China are not this bad.
Of course, after entering the city center, the city's environment is much better, and it looks a bit like a car city.
Downstairs of a building, Daben parked his car and handed the keys to the parking attendant: "Let's go, junior brother, everything has been arranged."
Li Ang thought that Ben had arranged a room for him, but after entering the elevator, Ben directly pressed the button to the top floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, Li Ang was dumbfounded.
With the exciting music filling his ears, Ben took Li Ang to the roof of the hotel.
There is a large open-air swimming pool on the roof, and at this time, the swimming pool and the shore are full of bikini beauties!
There are some with big balls, some with big butts, and some with both.
The girls greeted Li Ang enthusiastically, and some even winked at Li Ang.
"This...it's really just a matter of catching the wind and washing away the dust."
"Hahahaha, how is it? Is my arrangement okay?"
I am my brother, I never say anything rude, but I arrange things in the most practical way.
It’s not like Fu Lao Er, who agreed to take his cousin out to play, but ended up bringing his black cousin.
Fu Lao Er: It’s better than some people treating me to a fruit plate and making me diarrhea!
Seeing that Li Ang was a little embarrassed, Ben patted Li Ang on the back.
"Relax, I heard. You broke up with your Hollywood girl earlier this year, right? No one is looking after you now, so have fun."
Li Ang smiled, but Que, he has been single for a long time.
At the beginning of this year, Ang was busy fighting for the playoffs, and Theron was busy working on her revolutionary work "The Devil Wears Prada". The two were so busy that they didn't even have time to talk on the phone.
Maybe everyone realized that they now put their careers first and had no intention of falling in love, so they broke up peacefully.
"Hey, senior brother, you are so attentive and considerate of helping brothers."
"Hahahaha, are you moved or not?"
"Don't dare to move, don't dare to move. Young people can just swim together. I'm not the kind of person who likes to communicate casually and deeply."
"Go to hell!"
Daben kicked Li Ang directly into the water, and the girls immediately surrounded him, as if they wanted to eat Li Ang alive.
When Li Ang got up the next day, he was still alone on the bed.
Yesterday, several girls almost pushed Li Ang away, but as always, Li Ang refused to take action against such a woman of unknown origin.
Fortunately, there was no misfire yesterday, because today, Li Ang still had to go to see Du Pang Si in high spirits.
Fatty Du did not meet with Li Ang in the office, but chose to meet at home to appear more cordial.
When Li Ang arrived, Fatty Du prepared tea and snacks, which could be said to be very attentive.
"Li, I'm glad that Detroit can have high-end talents like you." Du Pang was beaming. Li Ang was his unexpected gain this summer.
Although there were rumors last season that Li Ang was not getting along with the team, Dupins really didn't expect that the Raptors would directly put Li Ang on the shelf.
This wave of robbery was taken advantage of by him.
Li Ang also smiled politely and couldn't help but wonder, does Dumas think I am a talent for playing basketball or a talent for fighting?
"Don't worry, when you get to Detroit, you'll be home. I know that your reputation outside is not very good. People say you are a butcher who takes the ball during fights. People also say you are a cancer in the locker room."
Li Ang smiled awkwardly. It can't be said that the rumors from the outside world are all false.
Bringing a ball during a fight is indeed my fault.
"However, we in Detroit like players with your personality. I also believe that you are not a real thorn. You have a good relationship with Ben, and he is the leader of this team.
With him here, you won't have any problems in the locker room."
This is the reason why Fatty Du dared to take over Li Ang. He believed that he could suppress Li Ang.
But in fact, Li Ang doesn't need to press at all.
If Li Ang writes an autobiography after retiring, his autobiography will probably be titled "I'm Really Not a Thorn".
I just like fighting. What's wrong with me!?
By the way, when it comes to the piston, wouldn't it be enough to just pull the offset frame...
Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but chuckle.
Don't tell me, the Pistons seem to be a good fit for me.
After the two parties talked for about twenty minutes, someone rang the doorbell of Fatty Du's house.
Dumas opened the door and brought in a guy whom Li Ang was extremely familiar with.
"Hi Lee, welcome to Detroit!"
The visitor waved to Li Ang in a friendly manner, and Li Ang also stood up and shook hands politely.
"Hello, Jim Carrey...Coach Carlisle!"
That's right, Carlisle is still coaching the current Pistons!
If he plays well next season, he might be able to stop Brown from picking the cake!
Carlisle didn't just come to Du Pousse's house to eat and drink with nothing to do, although he did this a lot.
But the main purpose of his coming today is to meet Li Ang and tell him:
“The Pistons are a team-based team, but no matter how team-based the team is, it must have an offensive core and a clear offensive direction.
Li, are you ready to take on core responsibilities!?"
"core?"
Li Ang felt that he had really come to the right place this time. If you like to add one, I don’t know how to call. Please add it to your collection: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Add one, I don’t know how to call. Sodu Novel Network Update Speed All Networks
