Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 434

Pick-up gate at JFK Airport.

A large wave of New York Knicks fans are holding up banners, waiting for the new owner of the city to appear. Just yesterday, the official website of the New York Knicks officially announced the news of Yi Jianlian's joining, which made the Knicks fans feel the last breath The uneasiness disappeared, and he was completely relieved, and organized this welcome ceremony spontaneously. Finally, after waiting for a long time, Yi Jianlian, wearing a peaked cap and wearing casual clothes, was escorted from the airport by his manager Dan Feigen and a group of bodyguards. Mouth came out.

"Welcome, Yi!"

"Emperor Yi, welcome to the Big Apple City!"

"Please lead the Big Apple City to regain its former glory!"

The waiting Knicks team became restless in an instant, with all kinds of shouts one after another. Yi Jianlian didn't understand Dan Fagent's behavior of hiring bodyguards at first, but after seeing such a large group of fans who came to pick him up, he was glad Dan Feigen thought of this aspect for him. If it weren't for the group of bodyguards around him, he might not be able to leave the airport until evening.

"This is Yi's influence!"

In order to show the importance he attaches to Yi Jianlian, Donny Walsh personally came to pick him up at the airport today. Facing such enthusiastic New York fans, he couldn't help sighing.

New York City has not seen such an influential basketball player for a long time!

Well, now they finally have it!

"Everyone, we met at Madison Square Garden!"

Yi Jianlian met Downey smoothly, and before getting into the car, he waved to the New York fans who spontaneously came to pick him up from the plane. This action naturally caused a burst of exclamation.

***
Donnie Walsh did not take Yi Jianlian directly to the arena, but sent him to a hotel not far from the arena. This was a hotel he had booked for two months, because he heard Dan Fagan mentioned that Yi didn't have a place to live in New York yet, and it would take a while to find a house, so he booked an extra month.

Yi Jianlian was quite satisfied with the arrangement of Donny Walsh's first meeting, at least he showed his sincerity.

Speaking of which, Donny Walsh has done really well in the past two years. Not only have the poisonous contracts signed by Thomas been almost resolved, but he also acquired Amare Stoudemire from the Suns this summer. Paul helped the Knicks return to the top eight in the Eastern Conference after 5 years. If it wasn't for forcing the Big Three to replace Carmelo Anthony with more than half of the team, the Knicks would not fall back into the top eight. In the abyss swamp, look at the bargaining chips given to Anthony later!Wilson Chandler, Felton, Gallinari and Mozkov, plus two first-round picks and a second-round pick, and 300 million in cash.

The draft picks in this transaction are all secondary, the four players sent out are the key. These four players are all capable players in their prime, but only one Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey are replaced. Lupus, the Nuggets also sent three role players, but these three players were sent to other teams, which means that the Knicks sent so many things to get an Anthony plus a Billups, Judging from the situation of these two later, the Knicks lost money to his grandma's house. During the past few years in New York, Anthony only did things on the court to collect points and fight for the ball. The disease caused a decline in the state, and the Knicks lost both the future and the present.

Especially after Stoudemire was also reimbursed due to injury, the Knicks sank again.

It can be said that if Donnie Walsh hadn't traded for Anthony, the Knicks would have been on the right path, far from being as bad as it was later.

Now, the arrival of Yi Jianlian has saved Donnie Walsh, because the bargaining chips that Downey used to trade Anthony were no longer available. Wilson Chandler and Gallinari have been sent to the Bucks. Among the remaining players, there are no four capable young players who are in their prime. More importantly, New York already has Yi Jianlian, so they will definitely not pursue Anthony, who is also a small forward!
The arrival of Yi Jianlian has eliminated a big hidden danger for the future of the Knicks.

Yi Jianlian rested in the hotel for a day, and attended the press conference of the New York Knicks in the evening. At the scene of the conference, he officially put on his Knicks jersey, still number 9.

This number originally belonged to Jalis Jeffries, but this kid is still very shrewd. At the same time as the New York Knicks made an official announcement, he immediately stated on Twitter that he would give up the No. 9 jersey and wear other Number.

Yi Jianlian originally wanted to change his number and start over, but Jeffries was so enthusiastic that he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he liked his tweet and agreed.

It is worth mentioning that Jeffries’ tweet has more than 100 million likes. This is a result that he has never achieved in so many tweets. The closest number of likes is 10. , Not even a fraction of the number of likes on this tweet.

"Yi, how does it feel to come to New York? Do you think there is any difference between Milwaukee and Milwaukee? Maybe you will say bustling, I want to hear something else!" But not every New Yorker expressed his opinion about Yi Jianlian's arrival. Welcome, for example, the reporter who is asking questions in the audience, you can tell from the arrogant look that he is a local reporter in New York, and only reporters here will ask questions in this tone to show their aggressiveness .

"Is it different?" Yi Jianlian looked at him and frowned slightly. If it was a reporter from Milwaukee, he would know that Yi Jianlian was a little upset. Next, he would fight back with unimaginable meanness, but the New York City in front of him The reporter didn't realize this, and thought that Yi Jianlian was frightened by his sharp question.

Knew it!Guys from small cities are all like this, trying their best to justify it, in order not to offend both sides, hum!such a pity!I still have questions waiting for you!

"I think the only difference is that this city hasn't won a championship in 38 years! And the Bucks just won their second championship in team history last year. I thought about it, and it seems to have tied the Knicks. !"

"Anyway, the Knicks have been terrible for the past five years, and as a reporter, you should be more concerned about how I can help this team than what is the difference between Milwaukee and New York. I am a Basketball player, if you haven't figured out this question by now, then you shouldn't get up and ask!"

"..."

The reporter who asked the question sat down in bewilderment. He wanted to show off Yi Jianlian, but in the end he was knocked down by Yi Jianlian.
