Chapter 104: Silly X!
"Hi, good morning, guys!"
"Hey, buddy, long time no see, oh, your belly looks like it's getting meat."
"Wow, my teammates, you're all early enough."
At the Sacramento Sleep Train Arena, on the first day of Kings training camp, greetings rang out one after another, and the Kings players finally gathered again after a summer vacation.
Li Tian and Robinson came to Sacramento to train in advance, so they didn't show such excitement at this time, except for McClymer and Gobert, who had just joined, who were slightly excited to greet every King player who came in, Li Tian was more normal.
Of course, Li Tian is not surprised by this, and when he met his teammates for the first time this time last year, he was also excited, because it meant that a rookie was really starting to enter the NBA circle.
"Hi, Lee! We meet again. Li Tian was chatting with Hayes, and Evans, who had not been in the stadium for a long time, suddenly walked over.
Seeing Evans take the initiative to step forward, Li Tian immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Tyrek, I'm glad you didn't say that you missed me or anything like that, you must know that I don't like to be missed by a man so much." ”
Later last season, Li Tian and Evans often partnered on the court, and they cooperated very well, which made the relationship between the two quickly closer.
"Ha, don't worry, I don't think about a man." Evans said with a smile, and then suddenly changed his words and said, "Lee, are you ready for a new beginning?" ”
"Of course!" After hearing Evans' words, Li Tian immediately nodded, he has been training hard this summer, isn't it just to welcome the new season?
After a slight pause, Li Tian continued: "I think you are the same." ”
Li Tian knew that Evans had also spent a lot of time training this summer, but he wasn't in Sacramento. In fact, many NBA players don't train in their own cities in the summer, but rather in big cities like Los Angeles.
After hearing Li Tian's words, Evans shook his head, approached Li Tian with a little mystery and said, "Man, I'm not talking about the start of the new season, but ...... Are you ready for some unexpected surprises? ”
"An unexpected surprise?" Li Tian was slightly stunned, what unexpected surprise could Evans bring to himself?
"Man, don't expect me to tell you the answer, but you'll find out soon." Evans smiled, and then walked away, leaving Li Tian in confusion.
Just as Li Tian was about to ponder, Thomas Robinson's voice came over on the side: "Lee, Andre Iguodala is here." ”
Li Tian turned his head sideways and found that it was indeed the new signing Iguodala appeared, and this excellent striker swingman was walking into the stadium with a smile on his face at this time.
After Iguodala appeared, Evans, who was the core of the team, greeted him, and of course, there was another reason why Evans had already met with Iguodala.
Because the press conference on the contracts of Evans, Li Tian, and Iguodala was held together, not only Evans, but Li Tian and Iguodala have also been in contact.
After welcoming Iguodala, Evans took Iguodala to introduce the rest of the Kings players, although they all played in the same league and most of them had heard of each other, but it was obviously necessary to get to know each other formally, after all, they would be players on the same team in the future.
Evans introduced Iguodala one by one, and when he came to Li Tian, Iguodala smiled first and said, "Li, we've already met." ”
"Yes, Andrey."
Subsequently, Cousins, Thorton, etc. also arrived one after another, and of course, there was also Isaiah Thomas, Li Tian's old enemy in the team.
Because of the discord with Thomas, Li Tian automatically ignored Isaiah Thomas when greeting other teammates, Li Tian's temper off the court is not bad, but he is not so willing to do things like hot faces and cold butts.
However, to Li Tian's surprise, Isaiah Thomas took the initiative to find him.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around Li Tian but Robinson, Isaiah Thomas came to Li Tian.
What is this guy here for? Li Tian would not think that Isiah Thomas approached him to discuss the issue of reconciliation, if the two could have reconciled, it would have been resolved last season.
At the same time that Li Tian was pondering Isaiah Thomas's intentions, Thomas had already spoken: "Boy, it feels good to sign a contract with the team, right?" ”
When he said this, Thomas still had a sour tone in the mockery, for Li Tian's contract, he wanted to say that it was fake if he didn't envy it, after all, his salary this season was only more than 800,000, and Li Tian could get more than 5 million, and Li Tian's salary would reach more than 14 million in two years.
When he learned the news, Thomas's first reaction was to directly scold the king's management, in his opinion, the king's management was completely kicked in the brain by a donkey to make such a decision.
Of course, Li Tian also heard the sourness in Thomas's tone, pretended not to hear the ridicule in the other party's words, and said with a happy smile: "Of course, it feels great, 25 million in 3 years!" ”
Li Tian said the amount of money heavily, which made Isiah Thomas deeply stimulated again, and almost wanted to turn around and leave directly, but at this time he remembered his intentions, and suddenly sneered and said: "Boy, do you think that after having a new head coach, you can still get the same opportunity as last season?" ”
Thomas's tone was full of sarcasm and schadenfreude, if the Kings were happiest to choose Adelman as head coach, Thomas was definitely one of them, but he was happy not that Adelman was the head coach, but that Jim Ain was finally no longer the head coach.
After Keith Smart, who liked him, got out of class, Thomas began to feel depressed, because Jim Ain valued Li Tian far more than him, and now, Aine is finally not the head coach, Thomas is naturally extremely happy.
In Thomas's view, as long as Jim Ain is not the head coach, Li Tian will not have so many opportunities to play, and his status in the team can also be overwhelmed by Li Tian, and the next year is his contract year, which is a great opportunity to break out.
"Do you really think it's great to sign a contract with the team? Waiting to be sold by the team, it's just that I don't know if any team is willing to want it. Isaiah Thomas continued with a sneer.
Hearing Thomas's disparaging words, Li Tian not only didn't get angry but laughed, he really didn't know if Thomas didn't understand the situation or was really stupid, the king signed himself to say that there was no Adelman's consent, is it possible? After all, with Divac's relationship with Adelman, Divac will definitely ask Adelman for advice in the player's signing deal.
Thomas is still thinking that he might be left out in the cold after changing the head coach? And in a situation where you can be absolutely sure that you will continue to improve? Li Tian wanted to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help it.
"Silly *X!" scolded softly, Li Tian immediately turned around and left directly, he didn't even have the heart to argue with Thomas.
Looking at Li Tian's back, Thomas was almost furious, although he didn't know what Li Tian was scolding, but he could guess that it was not a good word.
Resisting the urge to rush up and scold Li Tian, Thomas snorted coldly: "Hmph, I want to see how long you can be arrogant when you can't play." ”
