After arriving at Los Angeles, Chen Xi saw Westbrook who came to pick him up.
"WC? PG?!"
Surprisingly, there is actually a PG.
"I asked why they suddenly called me fishing... Oh, I remembered, these two brothers are both from California. I don't know how they met."
Chen Xi looked at the two people dressed casually and walked over with a smile.
After some pleasantries, a few people got into George's car and went straight to West Coast.
Naturally, Chen Xi has been coveting the beach at Los Angeles for a long time.
The three of them took a car and arrived at the port of Los Angeles - Los Angeles Port.
"I've already been there once. The boat experience on Paul was pretty good. I was a little moved when I saw it." The three of them got off the car and chatted while walking.
"I've never fished before."
"It's easy, Chris. I'll take you to apply for a fishing license first. I'll teach you step by step on the boat." George smiled and led the two of them towards an office area.
"Permit?"
"Yes, you need to apply for a fishing license when fishing here. Of course, it doesn't cost much. You can just apply for a ten-day one." (One day, ten days, or one year over there)
"Oh, everything is fine." Chen seemed to understand.
After simply applying for (buying) the so-called fishing license, a few people came to the pier and, led by George, walked towards his yacht.
Aramco's yacht industry is relatively developed and its requirements are relatively low. Some small yachts can be driven without a driver's license.
"Fishing rod Bait and so on, most of them are on my boat. Just get on when you're ready." George seemed very enthusiastic. He was very happy to introduce his favorite sport to his two new friends.
The West Coast and Suns were very big in the morning. The sun shone on the sea, making the waves sparkling. The sea breeze caressed the cheeks, bringing a bit of coolness.
A group of people got on the yacht PG and sailed towards the vast ocean.
George is an experienced sea fishing enthusiast. He prepares fishing gear skillfully and his eyes are shining with excitement.
When the boat stopped, several people put the bait on the hook, threw the fishing line into the sea, and stood beside the boat, waiting for SpongeBob and Patrick Star to take the bait.
George patiently taught Chen Xi what newbies need to pay attention to.
Westbrook on the other side started his second sea fishing experience with ease.
This is definitely a novel enough experience for Chen.
The boat is swaying, the sea breeze is soothing and gentle, and the sea and sky are endless as far as the eye can see.
You can even occasionally see large marine creatures, such as dolphins.
"Damn!! I have to sigh at this situation! Zuo... the sea! You are all fucking water!"
If you can't enjoy yourself when you have money, then what's the use of making money?
That night, Chen Xi was a guest of George's friend at Los Angeles's property, and he showed off a seafood feast.
Chen Xi also shared his day's experience on his social media, which attracted a lot of speculation from netizens.
"PG? Chris? PG is leaving Indiana?"
"Westbrook is also here! I think it's very possible!!"
"Impossible, Chris just signed a big contract, how can Thunder still have the money to exchange for George."
"Indeed, with JB, Thunder does not lack Small forward at all, but Power forward."
"Actually, it's not like PG's height can't match Power forward, right?"
"How about exchanging JB for PG?"
"What's the point? JB's chemistry with Thunder is very good, and his relationship with Chris is also very good. I don't think the management will choose to trade him for an unknown quantity."
"Chen Xi, Westbrook, JB: so? I'm isolated?"
"Laughing to death, shocked! Chen Xi Westbrook is dissatisfied with Butler and wants new reinforcements. Los Angeles secretly meets with Paul·George, intending to force the management to trade Butler!"
"Report to UC tomorrow."
There are many different opinions on the topic of trading, and people are always very interested in this aspect.
Presti, who was far away from Oklahoma City, wiped his sweat silently.
Are these guys putting pressure on me?
Time passes day by day, and Chen Xi's July vacation is coming to an end. The arrangement for August is a private training camp organized with Odie Little Sabonis Grant and others. They will spend the next time soaking in Training facility and continue to improve themselves.
It has to be said that Chen Xi relied on his outstanding performance over the past year to raise his status to a high enough level that he no longer needs to participate in Summer League. Even if he wants to, he can even participate in Pre-season or not participate at all.
But things were different for Grant and others just now. They just finished Summer League in July. They didn't have a two-day break and they had to go straight to Chen's training camp non-stop.
First, a week of high-intensity physical training to regain physical condition, then special training guided by a hired trainer, and then Training games in mid-August.
With the names Chen Xi and Odie, it is easy to attract a large number of Basketball practitioners to voluntarily sign up to participate in the training competition.
One is the new core Thunder, and the other is the new boss Bulls. Not to mention the exposure, just by being liked by any one of them, if you mention it to the team, you might be able to get a contract, which makes a large number of NBA fringe players flock to them.
Of course, the idea is very good, but Chen Xi's current team status may not interfere with the management, otherwise he would have contacted Presti before Draft.
As for Odie, it is said that he is the new Leader, but after all, he is just a newcomer with growing potential.
The long August passed slowly amid the fiery training.
During this period, League also had many transactions and signings.
The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly Rockets and Cavaliers.
Clippers traded the team's core point guard, Chris·Paul, to Rockets. From Rockets, they received Patrick·Beverley, Louis Williams, Sam·Dirk, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Welzer, DeAndre Liggins, Darren Hilliard, a 2018 First-round pick (top 3 pick protected) and $661,000 in cash.
After Second Round collided with Cosmic Warriors this year, Rockets realized the inability of Harden's single-core team leadership and was unwilling to waste its peak management. They seized the opportunity and exchanged potential newcomers for the former League First point guard. They formed Backcourt duo and pointed at NBA Championship.
Cavaliers is the problem that makes Fans unhappy. Kyrie·Irving is no longer willing to continue playing in the shadow of James. Irving, who is still young, wants to change a team and become Leader. Of course, there are rumors that Cavaliers sought a deal from Pacers, wanting Paul·George, Pacers wanted Irving, and Cavaliers agreed.
For some reason, the transaction ended up being nothing, but Irving, who was deeply involved in Trade rumors, was dissatisfied.
The final result was that Irving forced the management to apply for a transaction.
