Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 13 Signing with the Grizzlies
"UA, is your team going to let you go for training early?"

"Yes, I just received the notice yesterday."

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

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

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

"come on."

After Yi Jianlian left Los Angeles, Li Tian also ended his summer training after training alone for a week.

The Grizzlies' training camp started on October 10, and Li Tian was notified by Memphis to let him go there earlier.

"Taylor, are you still in New York?" After calling Taylor, he had been in Los Angeles for so long, and he still wanted to say hello to Taylor when he left.

"No, I have already 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 tiredness.

"Yes, the recent consecutive concerts have prevented me from getting enough rest, so I will be more tired. You, I was going to ask you if you are used to living where I am, but I have been too busy recently." Taylor took Sorry to say.

"No, Taylor, it's me who should be thanking you. I've lived in your place for so long, and I'm going to leave in these two days. I wanted to ask where you are now, and treat you to a meal."

From the very beginning, Li Tian was a little repulsive to Taylor (because of his injury), and then slowly 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." When Taylor heard Li Tian about eating by himself, his tired body was instantly filled with energy, and he was no longer tired.

"But it's okay, I will invite you next time we meet."

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

The two chatted for a while, and Li Tian asked Taylor to rest early.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Tian was still a little uncomfortable seeing Memphis like this. He had never stayed in Memphis before.

Memphis is located in the beautiful state of Tennessee, next to the Mississippi River. The environment is beautiful, but due to historical reasons, it is a mess.

The Grizzlies have always had the thing that guns can be exchanged for tickets. In order to change the direction of prohibiting the flow of guns, the local government uses this method to collect guns.

In recent years, the law and order in Memphis has gradually improved.

Searching for this memory about the Grizzlies from my memory, I only remember that the Grizzlies have a dismal record this season, and they definitely didn't make it to the playoffs.

During the season, the team boss Paul Gasol was traded to the Lakers. Gasol's joining made the Zijin battleship set sail again, entered the finals for three consecutive years, and won two championships.

Let Kobe go straight to Michael Jordan and become No.1 in the league at the time.

The Grizzlies changed their coach this year, and the team leader was still there.

After looking at the team's main lineup, the people who can appear in my memory include Gasol, Conley, Lowry, Miller, Gay, and Milicic.

Guy is his own arch rival.

During the summer league, Li Tian had a good relationship with Conley and Milicic, but Gay didn't say a word to him.

"Hi, Li, the trainer said you have been 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 I have been training since then. Thank you very much for the trainer you introduced to me. It helped me a lot. It's 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 about the harvest in summer?" Bill asked Li Tian.

"The harvest is good, and I hope to become an important rotation of the team. You also know that my previous knee injury caused me to lose a lot, and I need to start all over again."

Bill comforted, "It's okay. It's better to have a chance to start all over again than no chance."

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

Looking out of the window, Li Tian was stunned, "Fuck, this is the legendary big city. Yes, it doesn't look like a city at all except it's big. It's not as good as an ordinary city in China."

Forget it, there's no point in complaining, I'm here, and I won't stay here for too long.

I looked at the flights here, there is not even an international flight, my God, are you sure this is a big city?
It's just a rural area, but the environment is really good.

Go directly to the arena to report.

"Hi, welcome, Li, and Bill." Mark Jaffroni greeted Li Tian and Bill first when he saw Li Tian and Bill coming.

"Congratulations, you have become the head coach of the Grizzlies, Mark. Let's talk about Lee's contract first." Bill cut to the chase.

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

The three of them came to the meeting room together.

Bill communicated with the Grizzlies management for a while, and the contract was finalized. The contract for the second-round rookie is very simple, and the price is clearly marked, and there will not be too many discrepancies.

"Li, no problem, you can sign."

Li Tian signed his first NBA contract.

The contract with the Grizzlies is a two-year rookie contract, the second year is a team option, and the two-year contract totals $100 million.

Not surprisingly, there is a high probability that the next two years will be spent in the Grizzlies.

This is how the NBA journey begins.

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

"I am also very happy that the Grizzlies can choose me. It is my honor to be a member of the Grizzlies." Li Tian's official answer.

"Li, I don't know what number jersey you are going to choose?" Jafaroni asked Li Tian.

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

"No one uses it, Li, why did you choose number 0?"

"I hope to start from 0."

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

"No problem, I will be on time for the team's training."

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

After a busy day, the two rented the house, and Li Tian bought some daily necessities he needed.

The rented house is not far from the Grizzlies arena, and Li Tian can usually run to the arena, which is very convenient.

"Li, I'm going to leave Memphis tomorrow. If you have anything, you can contact me in advance." It is impossible for Bill to stay in Memphis all the time, help Li Tian arrange things, and prepare to leave.

"Okay, Bill, there's nothing wrong with me. If there's anything else, I'll take the initiative to contact you."

Li Tian sent Bill away.

Li Tian contacted Taylor for a brief chat.

I also asked how Yi Jianlian was doing in Milwaukee. Yi Jianlian complained about Bogut, but everything else was fine.
