Chapter 289: The Raptors of Chaos
Chapter 289: Mixed 1 Raptor
"Oh, Mr. Jiang Yang, you really don't make people worry!" Looking at Jiang Yang, who was wearing pajamas and sitting in the back seat, a white guy driving in front of him joked with a smile, and after listening to this guy's words, Jiang Yang just pouted.
"I don't like ...... here" Hearing Jiang Yang's muttering, the white young man shook his head slightly.
"Actually, I didn't like it here when I first came, people here are always too serious, and they always like to put things on the line, which seems to me, they are all used to it! Haha, but after a long time, you'll love the city! Listening to Jiang Yang's words, the young man in front couldn't help but laugh, it was already the second day of Jiang Yang's arrival in Toronto.
Originally, they ordered Jiang Yang to report to the team today, but something like this happened last night, which made Jiang Yang's mood extremely bad, and in the morning, the team's bigwigs sent someone to take Jiang Yang out of the police station.
In fact, it's just something like making noise, and it will come out with a casual warning, plus Jiang Yang is a public figure, so generally no one likes to be evil with Jiang Yang, so as long as someone comes to pick up Jiang Yang, he can leave at any time, but unfortunately, Jiang Yang has no acquaintances in Canada, and he remembered his team's phone number after thinking about it for a long time, and someone came to pick him up in the morning! I didn't sleep well in the police station last night, but I was scheduled to go to the team today, so Jiang Yang didn't have time to go back to rest, so he could only go back and change his clothes, and then followed the kid who came to pick him up to the stadium.
The big i8 specially produced by BMW for Jiang Yang is on the way to be transported, and it is estimated that it will arrive in two more days.
But now Jiang Yang's problem is that he doesn't seem to have a driver's license yet~ China's driver's license is not easy to use here.
After changing his clothes, Jiang Yang followed the people who came to pick him up and walked towards the stadium of the Air Canada Center, the home of the Toronto Raptors.
Nowadays, there is a boom in domestic immigration, and it is estimated that many people know about Canada, and Jiang Yang also knows that although he has only been here a few times before because of the competition, he knows this city, because there are often some money worshippers around him who say that so-and-so family has money and went abroad, immigrating to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the like.
At the beginning of the immigration boom, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada were the key cities that people chose to immigrate.
For Jiang Yang, these things were just to hear at the beginning, but now Jiang Yang is quite good, it can be said that he can move wherever he wants, of course Jiang Yang will not do this, he still loves his country very much.
Toronto, one of the world's most famous cities suitable for human habitation, one of the southernmost cities in Canada, is located on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario, is the fifth largest city in North America, and is also an important port city in the Lake Leihu District of Canada.
Canada, a country that basically maintains a position of lip service in the current world, can be said to be the backyard of the United States.
The whole of Canada covers an area of the second largest country, but their population is only 350,000, and China throws out a province that is larger than the population of their entire country, and among these 350,000, later immigrants account for nearly 5o% of the total population, so the whole Canada can no longer be described as vast and sparsely populated.
The price of land in Canada is as cheap as cabbage, and some people like the United States or Europe want to come and immigrate, and even have protection policies and the like, of course, Chinese immigrants, which country in the world is not very cold.
Because there are too many Chinese, some countries with relatively small populations, but larger places, such as Russia, Canada, and Australia, have formulated immigration regulations specifically for China, and no more than how many people immigrate each year.
But even so, there are nearly 400,000 Chinese people in the whole of Toronto, accounting for one percent of the entire country's population, and you must know that the entire city of Toronto has a total population of only 250,000, which shows how scarce the population of this country is! How little.
It's almost to the extent that you enclose a lot of land in the wilderness and build a villa, and no one comes to care about you! Jiang Yang sat in the car, and also quietly observed the city that he has to serve at least two, Toronto is the economic center of Canada, and it is also a global xing city, Toronto has a proud urban landscape, in the case of the white guy deliberately going around half a circle, Jiang Yang also saw a lot of unique scenery of Toronto in the car, like the second tallest building in the world, the CN Tower, one of the modern wonders, and the beautiful Lake Ontario in autumn. Miles of lakefront corridors and the legacy of many world-renowned architects...... And on the street, unlike in the United States, what you see is basically white or black, although there are many Asians, but not too many! In Toronto, except for the whites, the rest are immigrants! 49% of the residents are immigrants from more than 100 nationalities around the world, and more than 14o languages are composing beautiful and harmonious music in this North American metropolis, because the people here are very fond of Shanggang.
Call the police at every turn, and there are still places that are too big and have fewer contradictions...... Therefore, the crime rate of the whole city is extremely low, the pleasant environment and the high quality of life, Toronto is considered one of the most suitable cities for human habitation in the world, but at the same time, Toronto's consumption is also the most expensive in Canada, which is rain for Jiang Yang! Jiang Yang has money!
Although the whole city is located in the north, the climate is very good, the coldest January night is only about minus 10 degrees, and the maximum temperature during the day is above minus 2 degrees, and because it is next to Lake Ontario.
So the summer is not too hot, the hottest July temperature is only about 27 degrees, now it is the middle of September, the degree is about 21 degrees, people live here very comfortable! Especially Jiang Yang, who is accustomed to more than 20 or 30 degrees below zero in winter, doesn't even need to wear cotton clothes to survive the winter when he stays here in winter! Of course, this is just a thought.
The white guy in front not only took Jiang Yang around the city, but also introduced the current situation in the team to Jiang Yang, listening to the introduction of the young man named John in front, Jiang Yang couldn't help grinning his mouth.
He originally thought that the Philadelphia 76ers were enough for 1, but compared to the current Raptors, Philadelphia is still light.
Toronto is not without bulls, from the 99-o2 season, three consecutive years into the playoffs, only to lose in the second round, can be described as quite powerful, but with Carter's departure, the whole team is also lying on the back again.
It wasn't until the O6-O7 season that he rushed into the playoffs again under the leadership of Bosh, but unfortunately the round was eliminated, and the next year he entered the playoffs again, but he was still eliminated in the round, and then O8-O9, O9-1O two seasons, or missed the playoffs, and it is precisely because of this that the core of the team, big forward Chris Bosh, also left the team directly and ran to Miami to be the younger brother of James and Wade! formed the Miami Triumvirate, which everyone in the league now knows.
Originally, there was Bosh pressing, although the team was more mixed and not very united, but basically there was no wind 1.
But as soon as Bosh is gone, this will let these guys herd the sheep! Now there are a lot of people in the whole team who are in gangs!
Much more gangs than in Philadelphia! Now Jiang Yang finally understands why he wants to let himself fight the task of being a thousand.
Because if you don't do this, it is estimated that you will be spit out by these guys when you enter the team, and there will be no bones left.
There are currently seventeen players in the team, and the list of players is as follows! On the inside, Bosh deserves to be the core after leaving, the O6 NBA champion, Andrea Banjani, an Italian big man with a three-point shot of 213 cm accurate to the layup, in addition to him, there are also rookies in the second round of this year, Solomon Arabi, and David Anderson.
These three people make up the current Raptors' interior No. 5 position! And in the No. 4 position, the most famous should be Reggie Evans, who is also Amir Johnson, Joey Dorsey and this year's rookie Ed Davis.
The biggest reputation for small forwards should be Linas Creza, in addition to him, there are Julian Wright and Ronald Duprey, these people are actually some unknown people, Jiang Yang can't remember their faces when he looks at their names.
In terms of scoring guards, there is Jiang Yang who entered the first round of the NBA last year, and the ninth rookie, Lamar DeRozan.
His replacement is Tuojing Weems! In addition to Jiang Yang, the Raptors' No. 1 position is still known as Jose Calderon, Marcus Banks, who can rank in the top five in the league in passing, and Leandro Barbossa, who has just transferred from the Suns because he secretly cuckolded the team's boss Nash, and Jarrett Jack. In this position, if nothing else, if Jiang Yang preempts it, then at least two people will be squeezed out!
Because Barbossa has always appeared as a sixth man before, plus he is a two-way guard, this guy is safer! According to this white man, the current camp in the team is divided into four parts, the American Gang, the European Gang, the Coach Gang and the Foreign Gang, and the American Gang is dominated by Reggie Evans and others, who are mainly Americans who came to Canada from the United States.
And the European gang, I can understand it, basically they are all from Europe, such as Italy's Bangnani, Lithuania's Linas Creza, Spain's José Calderón, and the newcomer Leandro Barbossa.
And then there's the Coach Gang, which is now the head coach, Jay Tria, for a bunch of guys fighting for a spot, like Rookie, Solomon Arabi, Ed Davis, Jarrett Jack......
The last one to come out of the gang is only one person! There is no need for the other party to say that Jiang Yang knows who he is talking about...... Himself!
It's not that the Raptors can't pass the river, Jiang Yang's arrival is to be the boss directly and make up for the vacancy left by the boss after Bosh leaves.
However, in the team, Jiang Yangyi has no qualifications, and second, he has not played results, and only has a championship and finals MVP during the Boston period, which is very unconvincing, especially those guys who were waiting for Bosh to leave and can be the boss themselves.
It's basically going to be the European gang, Banjani and Jose Calderón, in the eyes of the discerning people, they are now the team's proper figures, although De Rod is a newcomer to the team, but he is only a sophomore, and his road has to be slow.
Originally, everyone thought that Bargnani and Calderón would be the bosses, but suddenly the team found a father for them to come back, Jiang Yang landed in Toronto for five years for $58.58 million, in fact, these two guys were the most unhappy in their hearts.
After all, the position that had already been obtained was snatched away by others, and Jiang Yang also played point guard, so Calderon couldn't even protect his position, so in order to make Jiang Yang better adapt to the current environment, the team sent this white guy named John to come over and talk to Jiang Yang about the current situation, so that Jiang Yang could see the current situation clearly and be mentally prepared, and the internal disharmony of the team is not the biggest problem of the team, everyone knows it, The team's biggest problem actually comes from the outside of the stadium! The emotions of the ball mi will become the biggest problem for the team, Toronto's ball mi is the most disgusting group of ball mi in the league, they will boo you if you play well, because you are new here, they just like to bully new men.
If you don't play well, they'll even beat you, just look at what happened to Hido-Tekoglu and everyone will understand.
Toronto isn't a great place to be! That exposure ...... Not to mention cities like Los Angeles and New York that would be reported when a player farts, but also to places like San Antonio or Detroit.
It's also far from it, but fortunately, Jiang Yang doesn't need this kind of exposure, basically Jiang Yang goes wherever he goes, and the money follows!
Jiang Yang is still relatively confident in this point, and what Maple Leaf values is that in addition to Jiang Yang's strength, it is the Chinese market behind him.
"It's really troublesome, but I accept such a challenge!" Jiang Yang was wearing the team's training uniform, looking at the Canadian Aviation Center Gymnasium that had gradually been imprinted in his eyes, and said with a smile, looking at Jiang Yang's confident smile, the young man named John couldn't help but understand a little, where did Jiang Yang get his confidence? He knew that Jiang Yangke had never experienced this.
Although in the Celtics, the ball is basically cut off by the Big Three, but the whole team is still relatively harmonious.
In his mind, Jiang Yang should not have experienced this, but now Jiang Yang's confident appearance is really completely different from the appearance of Jiang Yang in his mind, and Jiang Yang's self-confidence also makes him feel a little incredible.
Jiang Yang saw the puzzlement in the other party's eyes, but he could only smile mysteriously, he couldn't tell this young man named John that he had already played with Larry Brown and Alan Iverson J in the copy! That's impossible.
That small diamond piece is Jiang Yang's talisman, a life-saving prop, and Jiang Yang is going to bring it directly into the coffin.
In this arena, the BMW X5, which was rented for Jiang Yang's tallness, slowly stopped in front of the main entrance of the arena.
"It's time to get there...... River! Tell me quietly, is there any way you can be the boss of this team? Looking at John, who was very knowledge-seeking in front of him, Jiang Yang smiled mysteriously, then leaned his head over and whispered to John.
"They weren't convinced...... I'll fight them until they serve! At the moment when John was stunned, Jiang Yang had already gotten out of the car, and there were already a lot of media waiting for Jiang Yang, seeing that the car arrived, a few security guards immediately ran out of it, separated the media, and then escorted Jiang Yang, who got off the car, and walked towards the stadium, Jiang Yang did not answer a word about the questions of the media next to him.
And these guys are not angry, they just keep shining a flash on Jiang Yang and them, although Jiang Yang is still not very good at dealing with the media, but at least he is not very interested in the flash thing! I walked into the arena.
"Look at that guy's arrogance!" At this time, Jiang Yang did not appear, on the second floor of the stadium, three guys wearing team training uniforms were looking at Jiang Yang below, a white man about 19o cm tall, with a disdainful look on his face! Said to a very tall, thin young handsome guy next to him, this tall handsome guy just smiled after listening to the white man's words, and then stood there with his hands in his hands, but there was also a chill in his eyes.
"He won't be able to jump for a few days! I'm here to see, how many catties and taels are there for this level rookie! The tall handsome guy stared at Jiang Yang, who had entered the stadium, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left the second floor directly, and walked towards the training hall on the first floor.
And after they left, a bald black man also looked at Jiang Yang below and smiled, and then turned around and left.
These three guys are none other than the three cores of the European gang that now dominate the Raptors, the white man at the beginning is José Calderón, the tall man just now is the Italian champion, Banyani, and the last black man, which is Barbossa!
