"Godfather, goodbye!"

At Pudong Airport, Xie Siqi waved her little hand vigorously, her eyes full of tears.

Li Wei felt a little sad when he thought that the girl couldn't go to the United States with him after all. He also waved his hand and said loudly: "Siqi, learn English hard, godfather will come back to see you soon!" ”

"I will, my aunt is learning English!" Xie Siqi shouted.

Wang Qiang didn't come to see him off, he just asked Xie Jianguo to bring a message, saying that Da Yao's matter was already clear, and the Dongfang team had an eighty percent probability of releasing him.

Li Wei didn't think things would be so simple, but Wang Qiang said this, which still made him feel a little more at ease.

Da Yao's family also came to see Li Wei off, and Yao's mother bought him a lot of fruits. Li Wei also told Da Yao to learn English hard, and then turned around and left.

New York, USA.

As soon as Li Wei got off the plane, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters. Among them are financial journalists, but also sports journalists.

A tall and thin male reporter asked, "Mr. Lee, I heard that the New York Knicks traded Cells plus McCarty for the Cavaliers...... That Eastern European, is it your deal? Why would you suddenly make such a deal with a pat on the head? ”

Li Wei smiled lightly, this reporter obviously didn't remember the name of "Big Z", so he had to replace it with an Eastern European.

Big Z's full name is "Zajunas Ilgoskas", and most Americans can't remember it because the name is too long and weird. After he became an All-Star center in his previous life, fans called him by the initials of his name, which was simplified to "Big Z"!

Of course, the current big Z is not an All-Star in the future, let alone the guy who broke a number of records in Cavaliers history and asked the team to retire his jersey, he is just a newcomer.

Newcomers enter the NBA through a draft, and NBA teams also select their favorite players in order at the draft every year.

In last summer's draft, the New York Knicks had the 18th, 19th, and 21st picks. With the No. 18 pick, they chose John Wallace, the talented forward who led Syracuse University to the NCAA (National Collegiate League) finals. No. 19, they chose Walter McCarty, a strong interior player who helped the University of Kentucky win the NCAA championship!

The Cavaliers have the No. 20 draft pick, and they're also very fond of the University of Kentucky's champion inside Miccarty, who has been looking at him and drooling. However, the Knicks snatched love with the No. 19 pick, and they had to cry silently with only the No. 20 pick.

After careful consideration, the Cavaliers selected a white center from Eastern Europe who was not sure if he could adapt to the NBA, and he was Big Z.

A year on, No. 19 rookie McCarty is playing diligently with the Knicks, and although it is not amazing, it is also mid-range. But the No. 20 rookie Big Z just came to the Cavaliers to report, and before the ball was played for a day, a bad news broke out: a comminuted fracture of the right foot!

Big Z has been recuperating from his injuries for a whole year, and the Cavaliers see the Eastern Europeans who are lying in bed and not working, but want to receive a salary, and they regret and hate in their hearts!

Originally, everyone doubted that this foreigner would be able to adapt to the NBA game, but now it's good, his foot injury is so miserable, even if he is good, he has to have sequelae, and he can't adapt to it!

If you had chosen Makati in the first place, how could you be so heartwarming?

But it's no wonder that the Cavaliers, who let the Knicks pick McCarty in front? People are the ones who led the team to win the NCAA championship, who doesn't know to grab it first?

Knicks fans are also glad that their team was so discerning that they drafted McCarty instead of a big Z like the Cavaliers. They also ridiculed the Cavaliers for being wronged, not to mention giving people salaries for nothing, and having to take care of the sick number.

White, slow and soft, the Eastern European, who had never played American basketball for a day, broke his foot on the first day of the league, and there was no one else in this bad luck!

But this summer, a hot news suddenly came out: the New York Knicks actually exchanged the Eastern European sick number!

If New York were to trade McCarty for Big Z, one for one, the fans would not have much reaction. Although McCarty's rank is higher than that of Big Z, and his ability is stronger than that of Big Z, one for one belongs to the management brain-dead, but who doesn't have a lack of heart?

This kind of fringe rookie will be changed when it is changed, and the fans can tolerate this kind of brain damage.

But they never expected that the chips of the New York team for the big Z were actually Childs plus McCarty!

Who is Childs?

Childes is the team's main point guard, and the hero who helped the team achieve a great record last year is far from comparable to the value of a fringe rookie like McCarty who only played for one year!

Even if you don't look at the data, you can see their value from the length of time the three have played.

The main point guard, Childes, who plays an average of 32 minutes per game, is an indispensable part of the super team in New York.

McCarty, a potential newcomer in the first year, couldn't play half of the games, and the games that he could play were also after the main team was tired, and he went up for three or five minutes.

As for the fractured big Z, he has no chance to play at all, and it is unknown whether he can even play in this league!

McCarty, who can play, changed to Big Z, who can't play, one for one, New York fans feel a loss, and suddenly put the main point guard Childes in, who doesn't jump when he listens to this?

scolding Li Wei for being brain-dead, it is all a compliment to him. Such a stupid deal can't be done even if it's brain-dead!

Li Wei certainly understands the mood of New York fans, and he also hopes to exchange a smaller price for Big Z. It's a pity that this year is not last year, and the management of the Cavaliers is not so easy to fool. Everyone has raised Big Z for a year, and they are finally recovering, how can they trade blindly without looking at the specific situation?

You must know that the big Z in the wheelchair still has accurate shooting, what if this thing can really be played?

When the Knicks wanted to trade Big Z, the other party immediately opened his mouth. They are not afraid to delay a little longer, so that they can wait for Big Z to recover and see the specific situation. You must know that Da Z's injured leg is about to be removed from the cast, and the team doctors agree that the recovery effect is not bad.

Li Wei didn't dare to drag the time to talk slowly with the knight. If the negotiations drag on for another two days, Big Z gets up from his wheelchair and can play off the court, and the main center of the Cavaliers will have to be beaten by him, and it will be strange if people are willing to change. So he decisively chose the combination of Childs + McCarty among several unequal treaties.

The Cavaliers saw that the Knicks had actually agreed to such an unequal treaty, and they didn't delay it anymore. After all, on paper, they really make a lot of money, and what if it drags on for two more days, what if the Knicks regret it?

As a result, the deal between the two sides was reached, the media was in an uproar, and the fans beat their chests!

But how will the media and fans know that this year is the last peak of Childs, and he can only play as a substitute in New York in the future. As for McCarty, he will develop into a reliable rotation player, but it will stop there. With two rotation players, a future All-Star, and a figure worthy of the Cavaliers retiring his jersey, the Knicks have actually made a lot of money!

That is, in this era, Americans look down on international players, Big Z has a foot injury again, and he is looked down on by everyone, so Li Wei can quietly pick up this big bargain. In a few years, even if the general manager of the knight is killed, it is impossible for people to agree to such a deal!

Glancing at the tall and thin reporter in front of him, Li Wei said: "You are very unqualified in this question, why did I make this deal?" Of course I think it's good for the team! ”

The reporter widened his eyes and said: "With our main point guard, plus a rookie with unlimited potential, to change a sick center who hasn't played a day and injured his foot, do you think it will help the Knicks?" How can this help? Can this center forward still play the main role in our team? ”

Li Wei blinked: "Why can't you fight the main force?" ”

The reporter laughed angrily: "Mr. Li, our main center is Ewing!" ”

"Oh." Li Wei nodded, and then said lightly: "Who is Ewing?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the reporters who were asking questions, all the sports reporters fainted, and even half of the financial reporters fainted!

In this era, there is no one who doesn't know Ewing!

Shark Dumb Emperor is one of the four superstars at the beginning of the 21st century, and now Kobe Bryant and Deng Dumb have just entered the league, and Zhan Huang is still in school, and their era has not yet begun.

In the 90s, the person who covered the sky in the league was Jordan, and under Jordan, there were four centers!

Big Dream Olajuwon, Gorilla Ewing, Admiral David Robinson, and Big Shark O'Neal!

Since the first year of entering the NBA, Ewing has been the head of the New York Knicks, almost all of the Knicks' team history records have been created by Ewing, he is the flag of New York, and he is the pride of New York!

Chinese fans also know a lot about Ewing, because he is the prototype of Akagi Goken in the famous comic "Slam Dunk"!

Li Wei not only knew who Ewing was, but he also knew that Ewing was already a sunset.

In his previous life, this New York flag was the next 97-98 season with a broken wrist, and he could only watch from the sidelines for most of the season, and even after returning from injury, he couldn't get back the feeling he had back then. When the Knicks traded him, the entire New York crowd cheered, completely forgetting all the credit he had made for the team over the years.

In his second season after Ewing left, the Knicks slipped into the abyss of hell. In the first two decades of the entire 21st century, the Knicks were the team with the worst record in the NBA, and Chinese fans jokingly called it the big mud!

The rotten mud is completely different from the rotten methods of other teams.

The average team is bad, because the owner is reluctant to spend money and can't keep the stars. And James Dolan, the boss of the big mud, is definitely the most willing boss in the league to spend money. Spend the most money, sign the most expensive players, pay the most expensive luxury tax, but lose the most balls, be bullied by all teams, and make countless fans scold!

This is the Knicks of the 21st century, the weirdest rotten in the entire sports world!
