Chapter 633: Joining the Los Angeles Lakers!
Mirana Bass and Mikena Bass are two young girls whose beauty has caught up with their aunt Jeanie Buss, and I believe that in the next ten years, when it comes to the daughters of NBA owners, these two will be the most eye-catching couple.
The two little girls didn't dare to disturb the conversation between their aunt and their father, but as soon as they heard Xie Chen's name, the two couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Auntie, what did you just say?" You say you can get Chris Shea to come to the Lakers? Did I hear me right? β
It can be seen from the excited looks of the two girls how much they like Xie Chen, Xie Chen's current fan base is also their age, both of them are very Xie Chen, Xie Chen came to play in Staples last time, and they were excited all night.
Jim Bass was also shocked: "What did you say? You're kidding, right? How could Phil Jackson, that guy, be willing to let Chris Shea go? Xie also had no reason to leave New York. β
Jeanie Buss touched the faces of the two girls affectionately, then looked at Jim Buss and said, "I'm not kidding, I'm serious, if it's you, of course I can't handle this, but if it's up to me to do it, I promise you that Xie will definitely join the Lakers." β
Jim Bass, knowing that Jenny had been with Phil Jackson in New York, rushed back to Los Angeles and told him about it, plus Jenny hadn't joked with him in years......
"Is it true?" Jim Bass said to himself.
"Daddy, Daddy, we're going to Chris Thanks!"
"We want Chris Shet!"
The two daughters kept shaking Jim Bass's arms.
After a long time, Jim Buss said to Jenny under the shaking of his two daughters: "Our father won 8 championships for this team in 26 years, before leaving, I promised him that he would continue his glory, make the Lakers the best team in the league again, and win the championship trophy again, Jenny, if you can really sign Xie here, I am willing to hand over the rights to you a year in advance." β
β¦β¦
Soon it was July.
This season's offseason seems a bit long for Xie Chen, during this time, Xie Chen and his family have been staying in Los Angeles, Xie Chen has to exercise every day this offseason, and his "special ability" has not been relaxed, and occasionally he will go to LeBron James to train together.
And during this time, the Lakers and the Knicks also communicated almost every day from morning to night, the Knicks obviously didn't want to let go of Xie Chen like this, and the Lakers had nothing to give the Knicks, if it weren't for the fact that the president of the Lakers was the fiancΓ©e of the Knicks president for many years, the deal would not have been successful at all.
Somehow, the league soon spread the news that Xie Chen was interested in leaving the Knicks!
As soon as the news came out, all the teams in the league couldn't sit still, and almost all teams called Xie Chen to inquire and recruit, originally Durant and James were the biggest free agents this summer, but now in an instant, all the hot spots were snatched away by Xie Chen.
After LeBron James learned the news, he couldn't help but come to Xie Chen's training hall to verify this matter as soon as possible, after all, Xie Chen's stay is related to the honor of his future career!
James knew where Xie Chen's personal training was going, and this was the first time he had come.
"Thank you, the news that you intend to leave has spread very well in the past two days, I believe you must have a headache, right? These people are too good at making up, you have a good partnership with Cameron, and you just won a championship, how can you leave? James smiled and asked tentatively.
Xie Chen didn't intend to hide James, if the transaction was successful, soon everyone would know about it, Xie Chen said: "It's true, I want to leave." β
James looked horrified: "This ...... Xie, you've always been the one who stands out from the crowd, and while I don't know why you did it, I respect your decision and will support you in every way, who says superstars can't change teams? We have the right to choose, you should chase your heart, right, if you were to leave, where would you go? β
"West, maybe the Lakers." Xie Chen said.
As soon as James heard that Xie Chen was going to leave the east and switch to the west, his heart suddenly felt a lot easier, in the past two years, James stopped in the Eastern Conference finals twice in a row, lost to Xie Chen's team twice in a row, and had no chance to compete for the championship, if it weren't for Xie Chen, James would definitely enter the finals for two consecutive years, and he could win at least one championship!
Many people are saying that with Xie Chen in the East, James will never have a chance to be on the stage of the Finals again. Of course, James is not convinced, but instead of going head-to-head with him, it is better to send this opponent to the west, the west is the real Longtan tiger's den, no matter how strong Xie Chen is, it is difficult to break through in the west, and after Xie Chen leaves the east, James in the east has no opponents, he will steadily advance to the finals to compete for the championship!
This is absolutely good news for James!
Of course, James didn't show this joy on his face, and after losing to Xie Chen for two years, he was really unwilling and wanted to take revenge, and now he has no chance.
James said: "So you want to prove yourself in the West, you are indeed a competitive guy...... Anyway, bless you......"
"Thanks!" As the two were talking, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the arena, and the two turned their heads to look and found that it was the King's daughter, Agalia.
Ajiali also just heard that Xie Chen was training here, and when she saw Xie Chen and James, she hurriedly walked up, and Ajiali was still so charming: "Xie, are you leaving?" Do you want to prove yourself by winning a championship in the West? Come to our Sacramento Kings, we're weak too! β
Ajiali heard that Xie Chen wanted to win the championship in the west to respond to doubts, and to pick the weak team, Ajiali has always liked Xie Chen and wanted Xie Chen to join her team, I thought that the king would not be attractive to Xie Chen, but I didn't expect Xie Chen to pursue it weakly, which made Ajiali excited!
Seeing this, James left first, and shook his head as he left, it was the first time he had seen a team use their weakness as a bargaining chip to attract stars.
"Uh......" Xie Chen was a little at a loss, he wanted to choose a weak team in the west, and the king did meet it, Xie Chen said: "But the team owner's daughter is so beautiful, I'm afraid my wife will be unhappy." β
Agali knew that he liked the Lakers, so she asked: "Xie, it is rumored that your dream is to win the championship on a different team, and you have to change teams every year, and our Kings also have a chance, right?" β
Xie Chen hasn't watched the news recently, I don't know that it has been so powerful outside, there are 30 teams in the league, if Xie Chen wants every team to win the championship once, it will take at least 30 years, which is not impossible for Xie Chen, after all, his ability is still undiminished at the age of 50.
"Yes." Xie Chen nodded.
After hearing this, Ajiali excitedly stepped forward and kissed Xie Chen on the cheek: "I'll wait for you for many years." Even if you reach the age of forty and can only catch and shoot like Ray Allen, I will definitely sign you! β
On July 14, an NBA news shocked the entire sports circle: Xie Chen was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers!
"No, that's not true! How could Xie possibly leave? "New York fans can't believe that their top star is leaving, if the last time he went from the Heat to the Knicks, it was Pat Riley's idea, then this time from the Knicks, it was completely Xie Chen's idea.
Some emotional Knicks fans have threatened to burn Xie Chen's jersey, but there are also voices saying that Xie Chen just went to the West to win a championship to prove himself, and after winning the championship in the West, he will still come back, after all, New York is his home!
Xie Chen also apologized to the fans in New York on Twitter for the first time, and said that he would work hard to come back!
When everyone learned that Xie Chen was just going to the west to prove himself and did not think about completely abandoning New York, the emotions of the fans were relieved, and some even generously sent their blessings and said that they would wait for Xie Chen to return.
Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers started the Christmas-like carnival in advance, and Xie Chen, the first person in the league, actually came to the Lakers! They had just lost one of their superstars, Kobe, and they didn't expect to be greeted with another superstar right after!
Kobe Bryant also tweeted for the first time to congratulate Xie Chen on becoming a member of the Lakers, and many people encouraged Kobe to come back and win another championship with Xie Chen.
TN. The old guys of T also discussed the big news that shocked the alliance for the first time.
The host said: "When I saw Xie being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, I was stunned, why did Phil Jackson let Xie go? Did Jenny Bass give him some kind of ecstasy? Or is there some secret agreement between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers? At least judging from the transaction on the surface, we don't see any benefit from the New York Knicks, and everyone has been saying that Xie took advantage of the East to win two championships in a row, if he can't even advance to the Finals in the West, then now, he has really become a player in the West, in this situation, can he break through in the West? β
Charles Barkley said with a serious face: "Frankly speaking, I still can't believe it's true, but the first thing to say is that this deal can be reached, and the New York Knicks have given Xie more respect than ordinary people, we all know that this is Xie's idea, not Phil and Dolan's, yes, there must be a secret agreement between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, and I think Xie must have promised the New York Knicks some things in the future, but now that things have happened, there is no point in discussing these, What we should be discussing is, can Xie really win the championship when he comes to the west? Guys, the Los Angeles Lakers he went to are the worst team in the West, but their opponents in the West, the Spurs, the Clippers, and the Warriors are not something they can deal with, and I don't even think they can win against the Houston Rockets. β
O'Neal said: "I don't agree with you, we have fully learned Xie Chao's individual ability in the past two seasons, since he is confident in choosing the Lakers, he is confident to win the championship here, and who said that Jeanie Buss and Jim Bass will not sign another star to help Xie?" Even if he doesn't, with his ability alone, I think he can beat the Rockets and Clippers, but the Warriors and Spurs, let's not mention the Thunder for the time being, because the whereabouts of KD are still unclear, and the teams at the level of the Warriors and Spurs are indeed not something that Xie can beat alone, unless he still has hidden ability. β
Kenny Smith was the most excited one: "Xie 100% still has the ability to hide!" Look, he'll be able to do anything next season! He can average 50 points per game! His three-pointers will surpass Curry's 402! He's going to break a lot of records that have been in the dust for years, and I can't wait to see his crazy solo performance next season! β
β¦β¦
After the Lakers got Xie Chen, they immediately became the focus of attention across the league, they were the bottom of the West last season, and Kobe Bryant, the signature player for many years, also retired, the Staples Center no longer seems to be able to attract everyone to spend money on tickets, but after Xie Chen came to the Lakers, the team's season tickets sold out quickly, and Xie Chen will become the city's new darling, there is no doubt about it.
But in this case, the Lakers still did not give up the pursuit of Kevin Durant, but became more eager and more confident, Jim Buss had confidence in Durant before, but Durant thought the Lakers lineup was too bad, but now it is different, the Lakers have Xie Chen, and they haven't spent any money yet, they can chase Durant again.
Another reason is that the Bass family also sees that Xie Chen may not stay with the Lakers like Kobe, Xie Chen has changed two teams in the past two seasons, and it is difficult to guarantee that Xie Chen will not change teams next season, if that, without Xie Chen, they will at least have Durant.
It's a pity that they don't know how much Durant hates Xie Chen, in the first season, Durant's goddess Scarlett Johansson was snatched away by Xie Chen, and now Kate Upton, who he is pursuing, also likes Xie Chen, Xie Chen is Durant's rival in love, how can he want to be teammates with Xie Chen?
However, Upton has been persuading Durant to go to the Lakers, and Durant has to think about the benefits of partnering with Xie Chen, he already has an MVP, and now the difference is the championship, if he partners with Xie Chen, he believes that the power of the two is definitely not weaker than Xie Chen and Anthony, and they will definitely be able to win the championship when the time comes!
Durant has decided to go to the Rio Olympics and will make a decision before leaving the United States.
One day, a message on Twitter caught people's attention: "Kevin Durant came to Los Angeles to meet with Tse!" β
The whole league is watching this with high tension, the Cavaliers, the Warriors, the Clippers, the Spurs...... These strong teams all feel threatened, and they know that once Durant and Xie Chen are combined together, and the two unsolvable MVPs are united, the Lakers will instantly become the most competitive team for the championship!
