The NBA trade market officially opened on July 1st, US time.

On the first day the trade market opened, several trades that were finalized on the day of the draft were also completed.

Byron Davidson and Eric Gordon traveled to Minnesota together, where they were personally greeted at the airport by Timberwolves general manager and head coach Saunders.

The arrival of these two players also indicates that the Timberwolves will return to the playoffs!

They also stated publicly at the team's press conference: "We will prove with our actions just how big a mistake the Los Angeles Clippers management made!"

Meanwhile, Thabeet, who was drafted sixth overall by the Timberwolves, also took over the number 34 jersey from head coach Sanders.

Blake Griffin, who joined the Memphis Grizzlies as the second overall pick, has become the Grizzlies' new hope.

Besides

James Harden has become the darling of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard from Arizona State University quickly gained popularity among fans because of his brotherhood with Russell Westbrook.

Of course, the world's attention was still focused on Los Angeles!

The plaza outside Staples Center

Nearly 5,000 Clippers fans had been waiting outside the arena for a long time.

Not only the fans, but also the Clippers' management, led by owner Isaiah Thomas, were quietly waiting outside the arena.

"They're coming!"

Before long, the fans outside the stadium began to stir spontaneously.

The appearance of Ye Chu and Stephen Curry instantly set the entire Staples Center ablaze.

After a simple welcoming ceremony, Ye Chu and Curry attended the team's press conference, accompanied by the team owner.

"The team's goal for the season is to make the playoffs!"

As soon as they sat down, Tom, the team's general manager at the time, spoke first: "But you all know that we are still very young, and even if we miss the playoffs this year, the future is bright!"

“Mr. Tom, many people believe that you should have chosen to keep Byron Davidson and Eric Gordon this offseason.”

A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily Times asked, "But you ultimately chose to bring the Davidson Academy duo to the team through a trade."

Will you regret this move?

"If the team fails to make the playoffs for several consecutive years, do you think the team made a mistake in this year's draft?"

The Los Angeles Daily Times' questions are part of a series.

In particular, the Los Angeles Clippers' move to trade their backcourt duo for the fifth overall pick and Kevin Love was riddled with flaws, making their problem even more straightforward and crude.

"We never regret any of our choices!"

Clippers general manager Tom was already used to it: "I believe the ones who should regret this trade are not us, but the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

At this point, Tom jokingly looked at the many reporters below the stage: "Guys, you guys don't know the power of the Davidson College Twins, do you?"

"I advise you to open your eyes properly. In less than two years, they will make the league tremble!"

The Los Angeles Daily Times asked a very pointed question.

But the Los Angeles Clippers management is extremely confident.

Will they regret trading away the backcourt duo of Baron Davis and Eric Gordon and keeping the Davidson Academy stars plus Kevin Love?

Do not make jokes!

"Ye, the first number one draft pick in Los Angeles Clippers history..."

Having gained nothing from General Manager Tom, the media reporters at the scene began to turn their attention to Ye Chu.

"Since the team traded Byron Davidson and Eric Gordon when they traded Stephen Curry, both of them said earlier that they would destroy you when they meet you next season. Does that scare you?"

One sharp question after another.

Fortunately, Tom had already given Ye Chu a heads-up.

In Los Angeles, a city that devours people without hesitation, if you want to achieve greatness, you have to face this kind of environment.

only......

They seem to have forgotten just how fierce Ye Chu's words can be!

"fear?"

Facing the camera, Ye Chu looked somewhat bewildered: "It's a pity that this word has never appeared in my life!"

"If there is any fear, it is others who fear me, not me who fears others!"

"Besides, I don't think this trade was that bad. If you don't know Stephen's abilities, then you'd better keep your eyes peeled next season!"

Ye Chu's interview silenced the media present.

On the one hand, this newcomer from China has already made his point clear.

He has never been afraid of the word in his life, so what else is there to say?

Furthermore, if they are questioning the strength of Davidson College's star duo, they can simply wait until the new season begins.

Good guy!

Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets was very humble when interviewed by reporters, but you, Ye Chu, are so confident, aren't you?

"Ye, your words are getting sharper and sharper!"

After Ye Chu finished her interview, Stephen Curry leaned over and whispered, "Look at the expressions on the faces of those reporters down there. They were completely stunned by you!"

"Keep it down!"

Ye Chu simply shrugged and said, "I was just telling the truth!"

be honest?

Curry looked up at Ye Chu beside him, and after a moment of thought, he instantly understood.

You're showing off again, kid!

"Stephen, some people say you'll become a three-point shooter like your father, while others say you'll become Steve Kerr."

Some even say you'll become the next Reggie Miller.

"So, who do you think you'll be next?"

The reporters at today's press conference were clearly well-prepared.

The questions kept coming, and Curry was really exasperated.

"I will not become the next Reggie Miller, nor will I become Steve Kerr!"

Recalling Ye Chu's earlier words, Curry instantly had an inspiration: "I am Stephen Curry, the one and only Stephen Curry in the entire history of the NBA!"

The first interview given by the Davidson College duo in Los Angeles led many media outlets to create the same persona for them!

Arrogant! Unruly!

They haven't experienced the harsh realities of life!

To put it nicely: neither of these two are people to be trifled with!

After the interview

Ye Chu and Curry each received their jerseys from team owner Thomas.

Number 3 and Number 30!

The image of the two holding their jerseys was successfully captured by the media at the scene.

After the press conference, the two players signed their rookie contracts with the Los Angeles Clippers.

"We will prepare super-salary contracts for you in advance."

After the two signed the papers, Thomas concluded by saying, "You will be the future of the Los Angeles Clippers!"
