Chapter 273 The new season is about to start
The next day, a blockbuster trade between the Raptors and Mavericks hit the front pages of newspapers in both places.
Toronto fans were polarized, with some cheering the deal and others not.
Even the "half-human, half-god" Carter can't lead the Toronto Raptors. Could it be that the new FMVP Li Xuan can make the Raptors rise? !
Some fans in Toronto questioned this, and then expressed their views on the Internet.
"The Raptors management is an idiot. The players in that system want to lead us to rise. I remain skeptical."
"Carter has paid enough in Toronto. I wish him all the best. Regarding the arrival of Lee, I am very much looking forward to him being able to lead the Raptors to rise."
"We should give Lee a chance to perform. If the expected effect cannot be achieved, we will boycott and ask the team to trade."
"..."
If Raptors fans have mixed feelings about the deal, Dallas fans are jubilant.
"Thank you Lee for bringing us Vince and wish him all the best in Toronto."
"Lee was a hero to Dallas and we will always remember his dedication to the city."
"If Lee returns to Dallas to play in the future, we will still support him."
"..."
While the fans were arguing on the Internet, Li Xuan had followed Bill Duffy to Toronto.
"Li, nice to meet you, welcome to Toronto, the city of ice and snow!"
Colangelo quickly stepped forward and shook Li Xuan's hand very warmly.
"Hello, sir." Li Xuan replied in a friendly manner.
"Lee, don't be so nervous, Toronto is your second home, you can treat us as family.
By the way, this is Massai next to me, and my assistant is also the deputy general manager of the team. "
Colangelo hurriedly introduced Ujiri beside him.
"Lee, welcome to the Raptors. I believe that under your leadership, the Raptors will definitely skyrocket."
Masai Ujiri also shook hands with Li Xuan enthusiastically.
"Hi Vice President, I will contribute my part to the team." Li Xuan replied humbly.
After getting in the car, Colangelo introduced the cultural landscape of Toronto to Li Xuan.
"Li, you haven't found a good house yet. You don't have to worry about this. We've found a few alternative places for you. You can just pack your bags and move in after you've chosen. The cost is not a problem."
Li Xuan nodded, not rejecting Colangelo's kindness, he really needed a place to live.
From these small details, he can already feel the sincerity of the Raptors.
Not long after, Li Xuan and his party came to a mansion in the suburbs of Toronto.
Here, Li Xuan officially met with Raptors owner Timothy Levick.
"Lee, welcome to Toronto, here we will meet all your requirements."
Timothy Lewick hugged Li Xuan warmly and made his promise.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone came to the living room in the villa and sat down one after another, drank the drinks they had prepared, and started talking.
Li Xuan is not used to drinking coffee, so he brought a cup of fresh tea.
Colangelo moves quickly on the subject, making a commitment.
"Li, don't worry, you will be the absolute core, there is no doubt about it, and we have already started to build a lineup structure around you, I believe you will not let us down."
In order to show his sense of existence, Masai Ujiri also expressed his thoughts.
There are not many opportunities to perform in front of the big boss, and he cherishes it very much.
"Li, the candidate for the head coach, I have already contacted Carlisle, he is very interested in you and hopes to cooperate with him.
As for Coach Carlisle's coaching ability, you don't have to worry. He has proven himself in the Pistons and Pacers, but he was not lucky enough to be picked by others.
And his coaching style is very suitable for your play. "
At the same time, big boss Timothy - Levick also expressed his position.
"I don't know much about basketball, and I won't get involved in team affairs. All the work will be handed over to Jello. I just need to see the final result.
Lee, as long as you can win a championship for Toronto, we will fully cooperate with you in everything you need. "
The subtext of Timothy Levick's words: "I will not dictate team affairs like Cuban's fat paper, and I will also give you a generous salary."
Li Xuan looked at Duffy, who was doing nothing, and wanted to hear his opinion.
Seeing Li Xuan's gaze, Duffy nodded.
This treatment is so generous that he doesn't even need to waste his time talking.
Seeing this, Li Xuan felt a lot more at ease, and felt that playing in Toronto was pretty good.
It's not that the other party gave too much, but that this place can give Li Xuan the opportunity to realize his dream.
If he really plays well, Li Xuan may have the right to speak in the management, then he can express his opinions on the draft and signings.
Especially in the draft, Li Xuan is a time traveler after all, if he can have the right to speak in the draft, there will be many places where he can operate.
It is not impossible to form a dynasty team.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meeting, and both parties got the results they wanted.
The next day, Li Xuan was picked up by a special car and came to the Canadian Airline Center Arena to report.
Since the position of head coach has not yet been confirmed, Li Xuan, under the leadership of assistant coach Sam Mitchell, completed a series of procedures for joining the team, and then conducted a physical examination.
An hour or two later, Sam Mitchell looked at the physical test watch in his hand and was shocked.
The Raptors found a treasure this time, and Li Xuan's strength far exceeded his expectations.
Afterwards, Li Xuan followed Sam Mitchell to the training ground and got to know each other with the Raptors players.
Everyone showed goodwill towards Li Xuan and welcomed him very much to join the Raptors.
Unfriendly can't do it!This is the boss of the team appointed by the management.
And Li Xuan's force value is too high, they can't afford it.
Seeing that his teammates are so cute, Li Xuan should express it as the boss of the team.
Therefore, Li Xuan planned to hold a party in his new home to enhance the relationship between his teammates.
The party was very successful, which made Li Xuan and the players of the Raptors a little bit reluctant to leave.
The main reason is that the boss, Timothy Lewick, learned that Li Xuan was going to hold a party, so he specially sent a few cars of female stars and supermodels from his entertainment company to give Li Xuan the place and let him have a good time.
Under the catalysis of alcohol, Li Xuan was exhausted from playing, and his waist was attacked countless times.
He didn't know how crazy last night was until he woke up the next day and saw seven or eight beauties lying beside him.
"Hey! It's a mistake to drink. I don't want my illegitimate child to come to me and ask for child support."
After Li Xuan finished teasing, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room. After breakfast, he took a special car to the arena for training.
In the next few days, Li Xuan came to the gym on time every day for physical recovery training, and adjusted his physical condition to the best.
In the past few days, the post of head coach of the team has also been implemented.
Faced with a high salary and various preferential treatment, Carlisle couldn't refuse at all, and became the head coach of the Raptors gloriously.
At this point, all the Raptors are here, and the NBA pre-season training camp has officially started!
