Chapter 13 Signing the Grizzly Bear

"Allian, your team wants you to go over and train in advance?"

"Yes, I just received the notice yesterday."

"You will definitely play better than me in the new season. You are the No. 6 pick." Li Tian did not forget to encourage Yi Jianlian, and he also sincerely hoped that Yi Jianlian could play.

"Haha, it must be possible, and I plan to compete for the best rookie." Yi Jianlian was very confident at this time.

"Haha, come on, I also hope you can become the best rookie, you are the first best rookie in the Celestial Empire."

"come on."

After Yi Jianlian left Los Angeles, Li Tian trained alone for a week and also ended the summer training.

The Grizzlies' training camp started on October 1, and Li Tian received a notice from Memphis to let him go early.

"Taylor, are you still in New York now?" Taylor called. He was in Los Angeles for so long, but he still had to say hello to Taylor after leaving.

"No, I've left New York and held a concert in another country." Taylor's voice was a little weak.

"Why are you so tired? Are you too tired?" Li Tian heard Taylor's fatigue.

"Yes, the recent continuous concerts have prevented me from having enough rest, so I will be more tired. You, I was going to ask if you are used to where I live, but I'm too busy recently." Taylor brought him with me.

Said apologetically.

"No, Taylor, I should express my gratitude to you. I have lived there for so long and am going to leave in the past two days. I wanted to ask where you are now and then invite you to a meal."

Li Tian was a little repulsive to Taylor at the beginning (because of his injury), and later he gradually began to accept Taylor, but he always couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

"Yes, that's a pity. I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you too." Taylor's tired body was instantly filled with energy and no longer tired when he heard Li Tian ask him to have a meal.

"But it doesn't matter. I'll invite you next time I meet."

"Okay, next time I have time, I will contact you in advance."

After chatting for a while, Li Tian asked Taylor to rest early.

Just got off the plane, Li Tian was still a little uncomfortable when he saw Memphis like this and had never been in Memphis.

Memphis is located in the beautiful state of Tennessee, next to the Mississippi River. It has a beautiful environment, but due to historical reasons, it is very messy.

The Grizzlies have always had the fact that they could exchange guns for tickets. In order to change direction, the local government uses this method to collect guns.

In recent years, public security in Memphis has gradually improved.

Searching for these memories about the Grizzlies from memory, I only remember that the Grizzlies have a poor record this season and they must have not entered the playoffs.

During the season, the team's boss Paul Gasol was traded to the Lakers. Gasol's joining brought the Purple Gold Battleship back to sail, entering the finals for three consecutive years, winning two championships.

Kobe was allowed to catch up with Michael Jordan and became the number one player in the league at that time.

The Grizzlies have replaced the new coach this year, and the team leader is still there at this time.

I looked at the team's main lineup. People who can appear in my memory include Gasol, Conley, Lowry, Miller, Guy, and Milicic.

Guy is his main competitor.

During the summer league, Li Tian, ​​Conley and Milicic had a good relationship, only Guy, and he had never said a word to him.

"Hi, Lee, the trainer said you were training all summer." Bill Duffy flew to Memphis with Li Tian for Li Tian's contract.

"Yes, I attended Brother Yao's wedding in the middle and have been training since then. Thank you very much for the trainer you introduced to me. It has helped me a lot. I'm just a pity that he only stayed there for a week." Li Tianluo

With regret.

"Yes, but there is still a chance in the future. How will the harvest be in the summer?" Bill asked Li Tian.

"I have gained a lot and hopefully become an important rotation for the team. You also know that my knee injury has caused me to lose a lot, and I need to start over."

Bill comforted, "It's okay, it's better to have a chance to start over than not."

The two of them talked all the way to get off the plane, and Bill gave Li Tian a lot of advice.

Looking out the window, Li Tian was stunned, "He's, this is the legendary big city. Yes, except for big ones, it doesn't look like a city at all, and it's not as good as an ordinary city in the Celestial Empire."

Forget it, complaining is meaningless. I have come here and I won’t stay here for too long.

I looked at the flights here and didn’t even have an international flight. My God, are you sure this is a big city?

It's simply a rural area, but the environment is really good.

I went to the stadium to report directly.

"Hi, welcome you Lee and Bill." Mark Jaffaroni saw Li Tian and Bill arrive and took the lead in saying hello.

"Congratulations, you have become Mark the Grizzlies' head coach. Let's talk about Lee's contract first." Bill went straight to the point.

"Okay, let's go to the office first, Mike Haysley is already waiting for us."

The three of them came to the conference room together.

Bill and the Grizzlies management communicated for a while and then the contract was negotiated. The contract for the second round rookie is very simple, and they are clearly marked and there will be no too many differences.

"Li, no problem, you can sign it."

Li Tian signed his first NBA contract.

The contract with the Grizzlies is a two-year rookie contract, and the second year is the team option, with a total of $1 million in two-year contracts.

As expected, the next two years will likely be spent in the Grizzlies.

The NBA journey begins here.

"Welcome to the Grizzlies, Lee." Mike Haysley welcomed Li Tian's joining.

"I am also very happy that the Grizzlies were able to choose me and it was my honor to be a member of the Grizzlies." Li Tian's official answer.

"Li, I wonder what number of jersey you are going to choose?" Jaffaroni asked Li Tian.

"I'll choose No. 0, I don't know if anyone uses the Grizzlies."

"No one uses it, Li, why did he choose No. 0?"

"Hope starts at 0."

"Okay, Lee, our team's training camp will officially start in two days. I hope you will participate on time."

"No problem, I will participate in the team's training on time."

After leaving the arena, considering that I would not stay in the Grizzlies for too long, I did not choose to buy a house in Memphis and only chose to rent a house.

The two of them had been busy for a day and rented the house. Li Tian bought some daily necessities he needed.

The rented house is not far from the Grizzlies Arena. Li Tian can run to the stadium, which is very convenient.

"Li, I'm going to leave Memphis tomorrow. If you have anything, you can contact me in advance." Bill couldn't stay in Memphis forever and helped Li Tian arrange his things, so he was ready to leave.

"Okay, Bill, I have no problem here. If you have any questions, I will contact you."

Li Tian sent Bill away.

Li Tian and Taylor contacted each other and chatted for a few simple words.

He also asked Yi Jianlian how he lived in Milwaukee. Yi Jianlian complained about Bogut, and everything else was pretty good.

After today, two updates per day
