Chapter 118 Jiang Dashan Lakers Press Conference
Zhao Jin booked a flight ticket for the next morning that night, hoping to arrive in Los Angeles as soon as possible.

By the time Zhao Jin arrived in Los Angeles after a 10-hour flight, it was just early morning here.Zhao Jin and a few colleagues got off the plane and called Jiang Dashan at the exit of the airport, "Old Zhao, you are not kind! Didn't I disturb your sleep yesterday, and now you are bothering me!"

"Hey, each other. We've arrived."

"Lakers press center, 7 o'clock in the evening. Find a hotel early!" Jiang Dashan hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Zhao Jin put away his mobile phone, turned around and said to the subordinates who came over, "Well, Jiang Dashan just said, the Lakers press center, at 7 o'clock tonight, let's go to the hotel to rest now!"

Just after finishing speaking, Zhao Jin and several subordinates were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison, "The Lakers!" Then, they looked at each other and laughed.

Passengers passing by all walked around them in disgust, hehe, they definitely regarded them as crazy.

The first time Zhao Jin checked into the hotel, he called his big boss, "Boss, Jiang Dashan signed with the Lakers tonight. The time is around 7:[-] a.m. BJ's time. Shall we arrange a live broadcast?"

"Old Zhao, you are such a big man, and you have been traveling abroad for so long. I don't know the time difference! It's time for work now. Where can I arrange it for you? Grass, what!?" The big head couldn't help but swear.

Zhao Jin put down the phone, and all his subordinates surrounded him, "How is it, what did the big boss say?"

"Live! The whole process is live!" After speaking, everyone cheered.

At the same time, Xie Fengfeng's Weibo ignited domestic circles of friends: I am Xie Fengfeng in Yushu Linfeng, and I learned from the No. 1 Jiang Dashan in Chinese basketball.Therefore, if Brother Shan has any news, he must notify me as soon as possible.It's definitely not gossip. Brother Shan called me today and told me that he has signed with the Lakers.

Countless fans and media reporters joined the discussion, "Xie Fengfeng, get out, if you have any news, you must give Lina the first time. Fake news, I Jiang and Lina's Weibo, there is no news!" . .

After attacking Xie Fengfeng's Weibo, fans turned to Lina and Jiang Dashan's Weibo, bombarded with countless questions.However, neither Lina nor Jiang Dashan responded, which made fans even more confused about the authenticity of the news.

In addition, many media began to release gossip, "According to an ESPN reporter, Jiang Dashan is currently living in O'Neal's house in Los Angeles, doing nothing! No one cares about it!" "According to a certain American reporter, Jiang Dashan is about to join the Rockets with a basic salary." "Jiang Dashan has joined the Nets! Yi Jianlian is going to the Nets soon! The Nets form a Chinese trio!". . .

Wuyou, who has always been against Jiang Dashan, posted on Weibo: Hehe, is it eye-catching?

Teacher Shanshan also asked an angry answer: I am QNMLGB.If you want to join the Lakers, I will eat S immediately!

However, while everyone was arguing, the China Sports Daily released the first-hand news on the website, "Our first-hand news, Jiang Dashan will hold a press conference at 7:30 tomorrow morning, which is 7:7 p.m. Los Angeles time. Jiang Dashan will become the third Chinese player to join the Lakers after Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian (Yi Jianlian is basically a Lakers player who has gone through the motions). CCTV reporter Zhao Jin has already rushed to Los Angeles. At 30:[-] tomorrow morning, the sports channel will live broadcast Jiang Dashan's signing with the Lakers Press conference! Congratulations to Jiang Dashan! At the same time, I also wish him a good performance in the new season!"

As soon as the news came out, the Internet exploded instantly. "Teacher Shanshan, I like to see you eating S." "Slap in the face instantly! 666, I am Jiang Weiwu!". . .

The press conference was held as scheduled, and countless Chinese fans stood in front of the TV, watching Jiang Dashan's press conference.

Los Angeles, the venue, Magic Johnson and head coach Walton took Jiang Dashan, and the three attended the press conference.

Johnson spoke first, expressing welcome and thanks to Jiang Dashan for joining on behalf of the Lakers. During the period, Jiang Dashan and Johnson hugged and shook hands in front of the stage, and then showed Jiang Dashan's new season jersey.Originally, the Lakers wanted Jiang Dashan to wear No. 13 or No. 11, but No. 13 has been retired; J is 11 in poker, but Lopez is now No. 11.It is finally determined that Jiang Dashan will wear the No. 1 jersey! J looks a lot like the number 1.Moreover, No. 1 was originally worn by another Lakers core Russell, which also shows from the side that the Lakers attach great importance to Jiang Dashan.

Jiang Dashan held the No. 1 jersey and smiled at the camera. This scene made countless Chinese fans excited. Finally, another Chinese player joined the NBA!
Then, Wharton spoke, in addition to expressing his appreciation for Jiang Dashan, he also expressed his hope for Jiang Dashan and the team for the new season.

In the final session, Jiang Dashan and Wharton accepted questions from the media.

"I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. I would like to ask Coach Walton. The Lakers are young now. We suddenly recruit a player who has only played 7 games in the NBA and is only 1 meters. What do you think he can bring us? Is it worse defense? Or is it a joke? Or is Jim so poor that he can only rely on him to attract Chinese funds?" Obviously, this reporter is not optimistic about Jiang Dashan.

"When Thomas Jr. joined the NBA, everyone was laughing at his height, but he managed to become an All-Star and lead the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals. From what I can see, J's ability is not inferior to Thomas Jr.'s. Moreover, J has never suffered from injuries. He is faster, stronger, and his outside shots are more accurate! On the defensive side, I think he can definitely make up for it with more points like Thomas Jr.." Walton's face was a little sullen.

Jiang Dashan smiled slightly, and added, "Do you want to see a 1-meter short man cover a 75-meter big man on the NBA court? Such a scene has not appeared in the NBA for a long time."

The reporters thought for a while before asking, "Of course we want to see it. Where can we find it? The 1 meter bug Boggs blocked the legendary center Ewing, absolutely incomparable!"

"That's great," Jiang Dashan looked at all the reporters with a confident smile, "come and watch the Lakers game! I'm the short guy with a 1 meter block!"

"Paralyzed foreigners, look down on people! I'm good!" The Chinese fans shared the same hatred. "Support me Jiang!" "Shame those who look down on you with data!". . . . . .

After the person in charge waited for domestic reporters to ask questions, he saw a Chinese reporter in the group of reporters and quickly asked him to ask questions. After all, Jiang Dashan and Jiang Dashan are from the same country, so face must be given.

Zhao Jin was very excited at this time. He asked Jiang Dashan in standard English, "I am very happy, Jiang Dashan. You have come to the NBA again and signed a big contract. As a Chinese, how do you feel now?" Zhao Jin did not ask questions about basketball.

"I'm very excited! As a Chinese, I landed in the NBA! I dare not say that Chinese basketball has risen, but Chinese basketball has been improving! Now, we may not be able to prevent American basketball from dominating the world, but in the world arena, we will let you suffer! No one can underestimate us, because we have dreams, and we have worked harder than you! The early bird catches the worm; and those birds who like to send cynicism can only follow us forever, envy, envy, hate!"

The press conference ended quickly.Jiang Dashan returned to O'Neill's house, waiting for news from O'Neill.From the next day, Jiang Dashan needs to start training with other Lakers players.

As soon as the press conference was over, the Lakers immediately updated their website. The headline was "Welcome Jiang Dashan" and attached a picture of Jiang Dashan wearing the No. 1 jersey.In addition, the Lakers finally gave a list of 15 players, namely:

Jiang Dashan SG
Jordan Clarkson SG
Julius Randall PF
Brook Lopez C
Corey Brewer PF
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope SG
Loel Deng PF
Lonzo Ball PG
Brandon Ingram SF/SG/F
Kyle Kuzma PF
Josh Hart SG
Larry Nance Jr. PF
Ivica Zubac C
Teryn Ness PG
Van der Bloom PG
It can be seen from the lineup that the configuration of the Lakers in the new season is still very reasonable. There are many combinations of outsiders and insiders, and there are enough manpower in each position. There is no situation of outsiders getting together and not enough insiders.
