Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 16: Flying Portland
Li Qi became the No. [-] pick, which disappointed all the teams behind except the Clippers. The Clippers held the sixth pick this year. Baylor felt that even if Li Qi fell to the bottom, he would not pick it, because there are no international guards who have played well in the NBA.Yield is too low.

Naturally, Li Qi didn't understand the other party's thoughts. He and his family left Madison Square Garden soon, and then went to Portland accompanied by the Blazers staff.

Going to Portland is not by car, but by a special plane. In addition to the Li Qi family, there are two rookies on the plane, one is Milicic who I knew before, and the other is Steve Blake.

Blake was selected by the Blazers with their own draft picks, while Milicic was acquired by John Nash in the draft trade. The specific operation is as follows: the Blazers sent Little Flying Mouse, plus last year's rookie Quintel Woods to the Knicks in exchange for Madman and a first-round pick in the next three years.

The Blazers have always been keen on international players. The earliest Spanish sports all-rounder, Fernando Martin, was proficient in swimming, table tennis, handball and judo. Unfortunately, he left the NBA after only playing 24 games in the Blazers. He left the world in a car accident in 90. After him, there was Sabonis, the roof of the world, and Mozart Petrovic, the basketball player. Then there was Schramff from Germany, and now Li Qi and Milicic. One of the teams of international players can be removed.

But Li Qi really can't calm down anymore. Now the Blazers are gone and shouting at Tianzun and Little Flying Squirrel, but here comes the Madman plus Zach Randolph, Kobe Terminator Ruben Patterson, damn it is even scarier than the Portland Prison in the previous life.

"You three, don't be afraid. Portland is one of the safest cities in the United States. Especially the Rose District where your apartment is located is extremely safe. The team has already made arrangements for the three of you. Just move in when you arrive in Portland."

This staff member is John Nash's assistant, Neil Orsi. The other party is currently the director of the personnel department of the Blazers. He is responsible for things like arranging the player's residence. Of course, he can also send an assistant, but Orsi still feels that it is more ceremonial to come in person.He feels that Li Qi will become the strongest player in the history of the Trail Blazers.

Of course, there is another reason why he has a good impression of Li Qi, that is, he is from Queens, New York, and has an inexplicable affection for this rookie who is also from New York State.

As for Milicic and Blake, it was completely incidental.

After flying for several hours, I finally came to the Rose District of Portland, which is also one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the United States. In 08, it was named the ninth most expensive neighborhood in the United States by Forbes magazine.

At present, only the three of them live in the apartment arranged by the team, because the other players of the Blazers are basically able to buy a house in Portland.

The parents saw that Li Qi had settled down, and they waited for Li Qi to sign the contract before leaving, because the other party was not yet 18 years old, and he would be able to sign independently next year, but seeing his son's 4-year, 1700 million dollar contract, Li Guodong was still a little sour. It is too easy for this basketball player to make money.No wonder being stared at by so many flesh and blood.Milicic's contract is also 4 years but the amount is not as big as Li Qi, but the latter is very satisfied. This kid has no idea that the 4-year 1700 million contract belonged to him in his previous life.

Li Qi and the three of them got acquainted very quickly. Blake, the oldest of the three, was already 23 years old this year. According to the false age in China, this guy was a 24-year-old rookie. Milicic and Li Qi were the same age, but the former was born a month earlier than Li Qi, and Li Qi was the youngest of the three.

Except for Li Qi, the three of them are all single. Steve Blake is 24 years old and doesn't have a girlfriend yet. It's really pitiful, but he doesn't know if the other party is still a chick.

Helene Cohen was a little unhappy that Li Qi came to the Trail Blazers. In her opinion, Tear City was completely unworthy of her man, and her man should go to the Knicks or the Lakers.

But the woman Miranda Kerr didn't leave. Li Qi didn't know what the Australian model was up to. Anyway, he wouldn't look for the former because the other party's double quotient was too high.

"Heileen, you're thinking too simply. Rich's career has just started at the moment. He's useless to go to those wealthy teams other than playing as a striker. If he has time, he might as well lay a foundation in a civilian team like the Trail Blazers."

The Blazers are a civilian team?Do you have a little misunderstanding of the word civilian, girl, have you seen which civilian team ranks seventh in salary in the league, Li Qi really wants to throw this list on the opponent's face.

Milicic and Milicic know Miranda Kerr. Both of them have seen Maybelline advertisements, but the former is not very good at striking up conversations because of his introverted personality, while the latter is a 24-year-old man and an Australian model.

After the Blazers got rid of the big contract of Roaring Tianzun, they are still in the top ten in the current salary rankings, and it is thanks to Paul Allen that they are replaced by the Spurs owner or Mosaic.

After the Lakers recruited Malone and Payton, the total salary was only 6400 million, ranking behind the Blazers, which is very painful. The City of Angels is the favorite to win the championship next season, and the Blazers are the biggest favorites for the No. [-] pick next season.

Many experts and basketball columnists are not optimistic about the prospects of the Trail Blazers. In order to select Li Qi and Milicic, they actually traded the two cores of the team. Although they got a madman and a bunch of role players, can these standards be compared with Damon Stoudemire and Rasheed Wallace?
"The best score for the Trail Blazers next season is only tenth in the Western Conference. If they are in the Eastern Conference, they may be able to improve their record, but in the Western Conference, these young rookies must pay for their youth." Adrian Wonovsky, known as the god of war, wrote such words in his column.

These remarks aroused the discussion of many people, and countless celebrities stood up to catch the heat.For example, Pi Er Er, who just left the Blazers.

"To choose a 17-year-old kid as the No. [-] pick, John Nash is really out of his mind. High school basketball and the NBA are basically two levels of existence. Look, he will become the biggest parallel importer, and the Portlanders will pay for their stupidity."
