You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 122

When the draft was in full swing, the Lakers called the Portland Trail Blazers early.

They succinctly stated that they wanted to get the sixth pick in the first round from the Blazers.

Having said that, the Blazers are not doing charity, and there is no personal relationship between the two teams, and even if there is, they are mutual hostility.At the beginning of the century, the Blazers formed a lineup of [-] million yuan and were violently demolished by the peak OK Lakers. It is still a headache for Portlanders.

The Lakers are extremely generous, and they sent a potential star Caron Butler as soon as they came.

Butler averaged 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game with the Lakers last season. According to normal development, it is no problem to reach the level of an All-Star or a quasi-All-Star.Since the Lakers have enough sincerity, the Blazers are naturally willing to accept it. After all, it is still hard to say whether the high school student Maltai Webster they locked will be able to play at the level of Butler last season.

Their deal was about to be finalized, and the New York Knicks made a move.

They proposed to use the eighth pick in the first round plus next year's draft pick in exchange for the sixth pick in the first round in the hands of the Blazers.

With the Knicks' record, the Blazers don't believe they can return to the playoffs next year unless Isiah Thomas is killed.Therefore, it is worthwhile to exchange a sixth overall pick for two lottery picks.

It was completely unexpected that the Warriors also stretched their feet in.

Their offer was equally sincere: Jason Richardson.

In terms of ability, Richardson is above Butler and more sincere than the Knicks' two picks.The big problem is that all three teams look good in their chips, with no clearly better side.

The Blazers have not forgotten their old score with the Lakers.

Now it’s time to ask the Lakers to raise the price with another offer. Seeing that it’s the Trail Blazers’ turn in the draft ahead, if the Lakers don’t make a decision immediately, the sixth pick will definitely fly.

If they calm down and negotiate a deal with the Raptors, perhaps the subsequent history will be changed.

The Lakers' draft war room made a decisive decision. Mitch Kupchak stuffed an unprotected first round next year and an unprotected second round the following year on the basis of sending Butler.

The Blazers, who made the Lakers bleed, agreed to the Lakers' additional offer with satisfaction.

Then, Kupchak said: "As long as you pick Wish, we can make a deal."

The bargaining between the draft war room was the 10 minutes that Wei Xia and his family were anxiously waiting for.

Fortunately, the result was good. He went from a prison team rookie who was about to go to Portland to jail to become the Lakers player with the highest draft pick in the past 23 years. There were countless reporters who came to take pictures.

Wei Xia also met the other three Lakers rookies on the spot.

With him in the lottery, Andrew Bynum is the youngest player in this draft.

The first time Weisha saw Bynum, he was shocked by his amazing figure. He is wide and strong, with arms as long as his knees. If he needs a friend who can sit in the back seat and open the door with both hands at the same time, Bynum is definitely the best choice.

There is also Ronnie Turiaf, who was selected by the Lakers with the seventh pick in the second round. From the appearance of this person, he looks like those blue-collar workers who love to do hard work.

His style is indeed the case. The Lakers rookie who greeted Weixia first was also Turiaf.

"Dude, is everything okay?"

Turiaf maintained his apparent eagerness.

"It can't be better." God sees it, this is Wei Xia's heartfelt voice.

Another Lakers rookie, Vaughan Weaver from Florida State University, also came over to say hello.

He simply waved his hand in goodwill.

Only Bynum, who was also a lottery pick with Wei Xia, was extremely cautious. He shrank his head like a turtle and watched the other three Lakers rookies get together. He instinctively wanted to come over and say a few words, but he was the only minor (born on October 1987, 10, strictly speaking, under 27) at the scene.

"Andrew, we won't eat you again, come closer."

As the four Lakers rookies posed for a group photo, Vershay used his sense of humor to put Bynum at ease.

Bynum looked at his low-intelligence and sensitive face and carefully showed a tough expression: "You can't eat me, you are too short."

"Then you should get closer, aren't you shy?" Wei Xia made Turiaf and Weaver laugh.

Bynum was so angry that he almost fell on Wei Xia, "Is this close enough?"

"If you try harder, I will be squeezed out of the camera," Wei Xia learned about Bynum's age from the Lakers' on-site reporter. Good guy, he came to the draft at only 17 years and 8 months old.What was he doing when he was 17?Oh, and he was in 17th grade when he was 11, and the draft was a fantasy.

Bynum is young, and when dealing with unfamiliar new things, he will start his defense mechanism.

Wei Xia believes that if he wants to play in a team like the Lakers, he cannot be isolated and helpless. Therefore, it is appropriate to have a good relationship with the rookies of the same class.

Bynum was ridiculed by Wei Xia to be crowded, and it was not true, so he could only stand next to Wei Xia and try not to use his strength.

The reporters thus took a precious group photo.

Then there was a media interview from Los Angeles. Wei Xia and three other teammates exchanged contact information, and then went with Bynum to take a group photo of the lottery pick in the 2005 draft.

Then came the bombarding questions from the Los Angeles media.

It takes three hours to complete the whole process.

Wei Xia was exhausted, and he never felt fatigued during the game.

And now his first reaction when he returned to the hotel was to sleep.

In order to witness Wei Xia's draft, his family came to New York together and stayed in the same hotel. When Wei Xia returned, they had more or less rested.

Wei Xia and his brother live in the same room.

When he entered without warning, his brother was wondering if there was any special service in the hotel.

"What special service do you want?" Wei Xia asked lazily.

Wei Qiu said with great interest: "It's the kind of service that needs to be made comfortable with the help of the opposite sex."

Wei Xia dragged the clothes and put them neatly, "I don't know, call me one if you have one."

"Okay, sure enough, people who are broken in love can let go!" Wei Qiu ruthlessly exposed Wei Xia's scars.

Wei Xia's lovelorn affair is no secret at home, the whole family knows it.

The reason is simple, Lara Darby wants to help him manage his wallet, and Wei Xia thinks that she doesn't even have a decent certificate, and she hasn't even graduated from college, so she is not suitable for such a complicated job.

Darby thinks Wei Xia doesn't trust him, or rather, doesn't treat her as a family member.

That's the weirdest part of the whole thing.

In Wei Xia's view, Darby is his very close friend, but not really family.

So he said bluntly: "We are not really family yet."

So it's all Wei Xia's fault, he ignited the explosives again.He doesn't like to refer to good friends as family, that's very pretentious, just like he doesn't regard Dick Long and Li Zhongxian as his family, even if they are good friends who talk about everything.

In this regard, Wei Xia also inherited Wei Mingliang and Mei Chen's way of doing things.

Darby didn't understand, nor could she accept that they had been so intimately in love for a year, and she wasn't even considered a family member in Wei Xia's heart?
She couldn't understand Wei Xia, and Wei Xia couldn't convince her. A matter that wasn't so important at first turned into a difference in three views between the two. The couple who were able to go to Wushan Yunyu together last week broke up, and there was no chance of redemption.

Wei Xia's second love affair ended in failure again.

Compared with the first failure, he thought he did nothing wrong, he just couldn't agree with Darby in some places.

Even if there were some disagreements, he thought he was right and shouldn't break up.

In Darby's view, it was an event like the end of the world. She had to use practical actions to let Wei Xia understand how bad the situation was, and breaking up seemed to be the only way.

Darby punished Wecha, but it didn't work out very well.

The man he punished didn't think there was anything wrong with him. After a busy day, Wei Xia took a hot bath in a five-star hotel, put on clean water and walked out.

I saw his brother Wei Qiu smiling like a thief who specializes in molesting young girls, "Come on, just wait and enjoy!"

Wei Xiapi smiled and said, "I just hope you didn't miss me."

"No, I understand it really well, don't worry, I won't make you sad, I will make you forget that lesbian tonight!" Wei Qiu's words became more and more evil, and Wei Xia felt uneasy.

About 10 minutes later, Wei Xia received a call from the front desk, saying that two strange women wanted to find them.

"Strange woman?" Wei Xia asked, "How strange?"

Is it the kind of strange that heavy makeup is not serious at first glance?

In last year's draft, Dwight Howard became famous because he gave his first night to find a wrong girl. Wei Xia also ruthlessly mocked this promising center in the newspaper. Could it be that he wants to follow in the opponent's footsteps?

"Hurry up and let people in, you won't be able to explain clearly if you are seen!" Wei Qiu seemed to have more face than him.

"Let them come up." Wei Xia said.

If the situation is not right, he will refuse to be served. Wei Xia still has self-control.

The two brothers waited for a long time, and found that the woman who came was actually a Vietnamese aunt who couldn't even speak English well.They don't sell themselves, they know one thing: massage.

"This" Wei Xia hesitated, "What is this?"

Wei Qiu turned over as if he was waiting to die: "You really think I'm a fool? How could I find that kind of woman to serve? I'm shameless, are you still shameless? You really want to stop at the bar, and you'd better wear that peaked cap. I promise, there are big murderers, big farts, sexy curves, blonde babes, whatever style you want, and they will all take the initiative to throw themselves into your arms!"

"How can I bear such a strong offensive?" Wei Xia found out that it was just a massage, and he was unsuspecting. He turned over and said to his brother, "How about I give you that hat, and you guard them for me?"

"Just say that oh oh oh oh oo~~~~ It's fixed!!!"
