Chapter 148: New Signings Launch
Because the Wizards' No. 34 jersey was worn by McGee, and Li Kaiming was a newcomer, and McGee couldn't let the number out, so he could only choose another one.
In fact, Li Kaiming himself likes No. 34 very much, because many famous inside players in history are No. 34 jerseys, such as Big Dream Olajuwon and Big Shark O'Neal.
Both men are candidates for the All-Time Center Striker.
The No. 34 I want to choose the most is gone, so I can only make up for one.
Because after Arenas came back this season, his jersey number was changed to No. 9, so the current No. 0 is empty, so Li Kaiming inherited Arenas's number.
Number 0 means starting anew.
And his NBA career also started from scratch.
Sun Yue chose No. 8, Yi Jianlian chose No. 31, Trevobuk chose No. 35, and second-round pick Hamadi chose No. 55.
Li Kaiming and the rest of the people, holding the jersey with their surname and number printed on it in both hands, smiled at the camera lens at the scene!
The reporters clicked and clicked to take a group photo of the players who came to the Wizards this summer!
At the press conference, there was naturally a necessary question-and-answer session for reporters.
Li Kaiming has been familiar with this since the NCAA, and it is very easy to deal with it.
A local white reporter in Washington asked, "Lee, you were drafted by the Wizards with the No. 1 pick, what is your personal goal this season?" ”
Li Kaiming did not hesitate at all, "The championship, the championship will always be my first goal!" ”
The reporter retorted, "The championship should be your team's goal, shouldn't your goal be the best rookie or something?" ”
Li Kaiming sat up slightly straighter, then looked into the reporter's eyes and said, "My goal is also the championship, as for any other awards, they are just accessories on the road to chasing the championship!" With a champion, everything else just falls into place! ”
The reporters at the scene nodded secretly, Li Kaiming had a lot of experience in dealing with the interview and was very well prepared.
Another reporter raised his hand and asked, "Lee, what are your expectations for the team's regular season results?" Is it to make the playoffs? ”
Li Kaiming smiled, "I'm here for three things, winning, winning, or winning!" I don't lower my expectations, whenever I have the opportunity, my expectations come first! ”
The reporters at the scene were a little surprised, and one reporter couldn't wait to ask the question that most people wanted to ask.
"Lee, the Miami Heat formed the Big Three of James, Wade and Bosh in the offseason, you know about that?"
Li Kaiming nodded, "I've heard it!" ”
The corners of the reporter's mouth raised slightly at an angle, and if nothing else, this answer would be big news.
"After the Miami Heat formed an unprecedented Big Three, do you still have confidence that the Wizards will compete for the first place in the regular season?"
Li Kaiming gave the reporter the same smile back, "I have great respect for the strength of the Miami Heat, their lineup is very strong, but before the fight, I won't have my own team inferior to the opposite, that's not my style!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the reporters in the audience began to take pictures with clicks!
What a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
After the Heat Big Three broke out, most of the bosses in the league began to protest to the league, and this lineup made the NBA lose its fairness!
It can be seen that in the eyes of the owners of each team, the Heat's chances of winning the championship at this time have become the first far ahead!
And now, a rookie who has never played a game in the NBA actually said wildly at the press conference that his team may not necessarily lose against the Heat, in the eyes of others, this is how thick and unbelievable!
Before this sentence came out, Li Kaiming knew that today's interview would definitely be used by the media to make a big fuss!
In addition to being a sports competition, the NBA is also a show!
And the performance needs gimmicks, grievances and hatred!
Therefore, the NBA has been exaggerating grievances since ancient times, the most typical is the grudge between the Celtics and the Lake, the battle between black and white......
With these foundations, the NBA will attract more and more viewers.
Now, Li Kaiming's words have successfully caused a new grievance.
Even if the Heat triumvirate did not express its position on this, the media will spontaneously make Li Kaiming and the Heat triumvirate enemies.
Li Kaiming knew all this, but he still said these words without reluctance, which made Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian on the side stunned!
In their eyes, Li Kaiming has always been a relatively calm and down-to-earth person, and rarely makes such seemingly brainless behaviors.
But Li Kaiming has his own ideas, in addition to his own disdain for the behavior of the Big Three of the Heat, he is more concerned about wanting to build his own character in the NBA.
The more distinctive the player, the easier it is to get more fans, and naturally the more money he can make.
He has a system in his body, and in the face of a group of bare-handed mortal mortals, is it possible to pretend to be modest?
When it's time to be crazy, go crazy!
After that, the reporters at the scene asked Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian a few questions, and the two Rao answers were very official, and they were prepared at first glance, and it was difficult to speak as surprisingly as Li Kaiming.
After the press conference, the Wizards also held a welcome party for several new signings, and the audience was full of Wizards fans.
Looking at the excited eyes of those fans, Li Kaiming directly said Duncan's famous words to the microphone on stage.
"Not much nonsense, next, let's start winning big!"
Li Kaiming's words brought the atmosphere of the whole welcome party to a climax!
Fans looked at the "Duncan II" on the stage with hope, and were full of expectations for the future of the team for a while!
Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian on the side looked at Li Kaiming, who was completely carnival, and shook their heads after glancing at each other!
Their personalities still belong to the traditional Hua Guorao, who is modest and introverted, and it is difficult to let go like Li Kaiming!
It seems that there are still many benefits to staying in Emerica for a long time.
Second, after the press conference, Jiang Shan, who had not appeared for a long time, contacted Li Kaiming again, and her arrival this time also brought Li Kaiming good news!
A sample of Li Kaiming's signature shoe "Kaiming Generation" has been made!
And Jiang Shan came over this time and brought a pair!
Li Kaiming held a sneaker in both hands and looked at it carefully in the sun.
The sneakers as a whole are low-top shoes, this is because of Li Kaiming's requirements, if he wears a high-top, it will have a greater impact on his speed.
The sole is moderately soft and hard, and the upper is half of leather and the other half is mesh, which is breathable and firm.
The color of the shoes is mainly bright yellow and white, with several streamlined designs, which look domineering and exposed!
Jiang Shan looked at Li Kaiming's loving appearance, pursed her lips and smiled, "This color scheme is called the champion color matching, which refers to the inspiration of the champion of the ancient imperial examination in China, and then matches the bright yellow color used by the ancient royal family, how about it, the design is not bad, right?" ”
Li Kaiming nodded, "Could it be that there are other colors?" ”
Jiang Shan glanced at him, "Of course, in addition to this champion color, there is also the wizard color that selected you, and the theme color of this color is borrowed from the theme color of the wizard." There is also a Tigers championship colorway, designed to commemorate you leading the Memphis Tigers to win the first championship in school history, the overall color scheme is based on the blue and white theme color of the Tigers, and a pattern of the NCAA championship trophy is added on it......"
Even for a person like Li Kaiming, who is relatively calm, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerates after seeing his signature shoes.
This is a signature shoe, something that many people dream of, he didn't even play an official game, and he already had his own signature shoe.
This is one of the few in the entire history of the NBA.
