Chapter 59

After the deal was done.

Su Pan looked a little awkward in the crowd, holding the Timberwolves cap.

Su Pan could also feel that there was something wrong with the way everyone looked at him.

It looked like they were pitying him, but more people were envious.

As the No. 1 pick who had just been selected by the Timberwolves, he was traded by the other side right after a while. This is a painful thing for any player who can enter the NBA.

For example, Wiggins last year, it was normal to play against any team, but when he met the Cavaliers, he turned into Maple Leaf Jordan, killing everyone and no one could stop him.

But for Su Pan, he came to play basketball, not to pick models. It

's actually the same for any team, as long as the teammates are not too bad.

"We are really on the same team in the NBA, Su, that's great, I can give you assists again."

At this moment, Russell, wearing a Lakers hat, rushed out from the side and shouted excitedly to Su Pan:"Brother, you don't know how much I miss you."

Su Pan pushed away Russell who tried to jump on him and grab him, complaining in an unhappy tone.

"Damn it, why am I on the same team with you again? I'm so unlucky."

Russell didn't get angry when he heard Su Pan's complaint. Instead, he smiled and poked Su Pan twice with his elbow.

"Brother, stop saying one thing and thinking another"

"You don't know how sad and heartbroken I was when I heard you were going to Minnesota."

Su Pan looked at Russell pretending to be heartbroken and raised his eyebrows coldly.

"You're so sad that you can hardly hold back your laughter, right?"

"Sue, you are so dirty. Am I that kind of person? There is no such thing!"

"Get out! When you go to LA, you have to practice passing the ball well, don't challenge my physical limit."

The two talked and laughed. I have to say that being able to renew my relationship with Russell in the NBA is really destined.

【Ding……】

【It is detected that the host has been selected by an NBA team and is about to start his NBA career, triggering a system task】

【Main quest: Win the NBA Player of the Month award within the first full month after entering the NBA】

【Complete the task and the host will be rewarded with stepping onto the second level of the system!】

【The system's second-level reward is: Golden Finger!】

【Surpassing Kyrie Irving, Allen Iverson, and Stephen Curry's ball handling, the host's ball handling ability and extraordinary skills have been upgraded to the highest level in history. 】

At this moment, Su Pan's mind finally heard the long-lost task of the system.

" NBA Player of the Month for the first month of the season……"

Su Pan's mouth curled slightly.

As a rookie player, he won the Player of the Month award in the first month of his career.

To be honest, this task is not easy.

Even Shaquille O'Neal only won the Player of the Week award in his first week in the NBA.

But he is still a long way from the Player of the Month!

If he accomplishes this feat, it will be unprecedented in history.

However,

Su Pan wants excitement!

"It seems like I need to do something in the first month after entering the NBA."

Su Pan thought to himself

Turn your thoughts back from the system to the scene.

The draft has ended.

Su Pan is also quite satisfied with the result of this trade.

First of all, the head coach of the Timberwolves, Saunders, is rather old-fashioned.

He prefers outside players to inside players.

Wiggins was trained by him to be in the direction of Jordan and Kobe.

If I go there, I’m not sure what the situation will be.

And if history is correct, this year is a crossroads in Wiggins’ career.

After the death of his mentor, Saunders, he gave up training Wiggins and focused more on pursuing the playoffs.

As a result, Wiggins was not reused by the team in the first five years of his career, and even became a corner player in the team.

Instead of joining a team that is about to fall into chaos, the Los Angeles Lakers are obviously a better choice.

Los Angeles is a big city with a history of giants.

Playing here will have a high exposure and higher commercial value.

And Kobe is about to retire.

If I come to the Lakers, I will definitely be a future star and a future boss.

It is really good to take over Kobe’s torch.

After the meeting, the normal procedure is to meet with team management and go through the motions.

However, what surprised Su Pan was that almost all members of the Lakers management team came to the scene.

Including General Manager Kupchak, Deputy General Manager Pelinka, Special Advisor Magic Johnson, Head Coach Byron Scott, and Lakers logo Kobe.

So many bigwigs gathered together!

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Su Pan was slightly stunned.

Russell next to him was even more shocked.

He had never seen such a scene.

As soon as the door of the room was opened, several people came to Russell and Su Pan very enthusiastically.

"Good evening, welcome to you on behalf of the Lakers fans"

"Hello, Su Pan"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Everyone came forward and shook hands with Su Pan.

Seeing this, Russell was also very excited.

Standing next to Su Pan, he also stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands with the big guys.

As a result... the same thing happened as last time.

Kobe only had Su Pan in his eyes at this moment, and he didn't even look at Russell's hand.

He didn't even give Russell a side glance

""Ahhh!"

Russell felt bitter.

Twice, twice!

Kobe, don't even think about getting assists from Ben La in the new season!!!

In the end, Magic Johnson had a higher EQ and found that Russell's smile was frozen and he was stunned.

He came back awkwardly and shook hands with him.

Russell's nose was sour.

He began to regret playing in the same team with Su Pan.

Su Pan has gravity, it's not a lie.

He can absorb���The light of the team!

On the other side, the room gradually became lively as everyone greeted them.

Kobe looked at Su Pan with love in his eyes and said,"I'm looking forward to working with you in the new season."

Byron Scott also said excitedly,"Like Kobe, I'm also looking forward to the feeling of coaching a super genius.""

"Su Pan!"

Kupchak saw the two people expressing their attitudes to Su Pan, and he quickly said:"I told the team a long time ago that you are our first choice this summer!"

The magician who just walked over also took the initiative to shake hands with Su Pan, and then laughed and teased

"My position as the best point guard in the league may be lost."

When these words came out, Su Pan was stunned.

I am a center, and you are a point guard. We are not related at all.

At this time, the magician smiled and pulled Russell to his side and began to explain.

"With you around, D'Angelo Russell's assists per game may never be less than 12 in his lifetime, and he will become the assists king in NBA history!"

"And, you will bring several championships to the Lakers!"

"My historical status may be surpassed by D'Angelo Russell."

Wow!

Such emotional intelligence!

Magic's language skills are amazing.

While Su Pan was communicating with these big guys, a voice interrupted their conversation.

""Me! And me!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

When they turned around, they saw Montrezl Harrell running over excitedly, waving to everyone.

Russell, who usually didn't deal with Harrell, frowned at this moment.

Su Pan was also a little surprised.

Why is Harrell here?

Kupchak also saw that Su Pan was very confused, so he lowered his voice to explain to Su Pan.

It turned out that the Lakers chose Harrell with the 27th pick in the first round.

Logically, the player the Lakers chose with this pick should be Larry Nance Jr.

Even Looney and Josh Richardson are among the Lakers' alternatives.

However, Harrell and Su Pan performed well in the semifinals of March Madness, especially the spirit of perseverance, which left a deep impression on the Lakers management, so they chose Harrell.

At the same time, they also used the 3rd pick in the second round. Norman Powell was also selected with the 4th pick.

When Su Pan saw these two people joining the team, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Originally, the Lakers almost bet the entire lineup in exchange for him.

Now there is no one who can be used, and the addition of these two combat forces can be said to be a timely help.

Don’t look at the level of these two people predicted to be second-round picks.

Harrell is a high-quality blue-collar center who can continuously add vitality to the court and can take on all the dirty work in the team.

After sending away the three inside players of Randle, Boozer and Hibbert, Harrell can really come off the bench to play a power forward position.

And Norman Powell, needless to say, is a classic example of a few second-round picks in the league who have turned around.

In his prime, he was a top 3D in the league, and in the future he will have good singles ability and can contribute to the team with an average of 25 minutes of playing time per game.���With an average of 21 points per game, he is considered the best sixth player.

So far, the Lakers' draft members this year have gathered together.

Norman Powell, Montrezl Harrell, Danilo Russell.

And the real protagonist...

Su Pan!

Su Pan looked at his three draft teammates and suddenly felt that his name did not contain"Er", which made him look out of place with them...

Under the leadership of General Manager Kupchak, everyone was interviewed.

"Su, you have entered the NBA's historical giant, the Los Angeles Lakers. This is an exciting result, so what do you want to say about this?"

All the reporters looked at Su Pan with bright eyes, looking forward to his answer.

"The championship banners in Los Angeles are already covered in dust."

In front of the camera, Su Pan held the microphone and spoke lightly.

"My arrival is to raise a new flag for Staples!"
