The four major North American sports leagues are commercial competitions, which means that developed cities will have richer sports industries.
Just like the New York Metropolitan Club looks down on people from New Mexico, this place is indeed incomparable to New York.
There is no sports industry, no popular Internet companies, and the carnival of Wall Street does not affect here.
The superstar Lee only excited the fans here for less than a week.
Lee, who was preparing to leave New Mexico completely, was completely relaxed.
After finishing the activities on the 24th, he began to prepare for moving.
Manuel Varga is indeed an upright and good person.
Knowing that a big poisonous drug dealer came to the community, he decided to move.
Who wants to beg for food on the edge of danger when they can have a better life?
Albuquerque's Central Avenue passes through different areas from west to east, and the HHM Law Firm is located in the center.
Old Varga thinks that lawyers are all upper-class people and is also influenced by this law firm.
When this law firm was first established in 1980, it was still HM, and the founder's son had not yet joined.
HM is the predecessor of this law firm.
No matter HM or HHM, after they have established themselves here, everyone knows that they have made a lot of money!
When Lee was a child, he never refuted the old Varga's concept, because lawyers do make money, but there are also interns in the law firm who are suffering.
Those who look after the mail room may still owe a loan to the law firm.
If they want to redeem themselves, they have to join the law firm after graduation.
At noon on the 26th, Lee came to HHM Law Firm in a light gray formal suit.
It was just before lunch break, and the pretty girl in charge of the front desk registration was bored and slacking off reading a magazine.
She noticed Lee's tall figure and quickly cheered up.
Seeing the receptionist in a daze, Lee smiled and said,
"Please help me find Wexler. She should not be in the mailroom. Just say that an old friend came to visit her!"
Recently, I can see news about Lee in the Albuquerque Daily.
The pretty girl at the front desk confirmed it again, and then quickly smiled back,
"Kim should still be working. I'll go and greet her for you. Lee, do you need coffee?"
Lee smiled and nodded, and was soon invited to the side.
While drinking coffee, he was secretly looking at this well-known law firm in Albuquerque.
Kim Wexler, who just got rid of her job in the mailroom this year, has been busy recently.
(A/N: Images)
She didn't care when she heard someone looking for her, untit she went downstairs and saw Lee leisurely drinking coffee and chatting with his colleagues, then he exclaimed,
"OMG!"
Kim, who had a golden ponytail and wore a dark blue professional suit, was no different from the past.
She exclaimed and walked quickly to his side, pulling Lee to leave.
After walking two steps, she realized that her colleagues were all looking at her.
Kim subconsciously wanted to explain.
Lee put his arm around her shoulders and waved to everyone with a smile:
"Remember to ask for leave for Kim. Just say that she has a big client to talk to. Mr. Hamlin will understand!"
Ignoring the whispers of her colleagues, Kim hurriedly pulled Lee out of the door.
It was not until the two of them got into the car that she completely regained her composure.
"When did you return to Albuquerque?"
Kim, who was holding the steering wheel, subconsciously widened her eyes.
Lee smiled at his friend who had transformed gorgeously and joked:
"I thought you would still work in the mailroom. It seems that your efforts have paid off!"
In 1994, Kim had just arrived in Albuquerque to study at the University of New Mexico School of Law.
However, as a girl from a small place and a poor family, she encountered some troubles when she came to Albuquerque.
At that time, Lee still fantasized about going to college at home and had not completely left this place.
After helping Kim solve some harassment, the two of them knew each other.
After learning that Kim was a law school student and seeing that she was also a poor girl, Lee had a bad idea.
Perhaps because she likes an exciting life, Kim gave Nacho a lot of advice when she was in law school.
There were some omissions in the early stage, but as they did more and more bad things, the two sides gradually trusted each other, and the rewards they received gradually became richer.
The rapidly growing Kim also slowly transformed.
Maybe in front of her colleagues, Kim is a good girl who works hard, but Lee knows that the other party is destined not to be a good lawyer, and her bottom line is particularly flexible.
Nob Hill District is one of the fashionable areas in Albuquerque.
After Kim drove to a quiet cafe here, she was completely relieved.
The two sat in a corner and talked about what happened around them in the past few years.
Thinking of some past reports, Kim, who was stirring his coffee, suddenly whispered:
"Compared with your wonderful life, I seem to be trapped here!"
Although he had a sum of money, Kim was very cautious and did not pay off the loan immediately, but joined HHM Law Firm step by step.
Lee knew that the other party had not passed the lawyer's license exam yet, so he said meaningfully:
"How about living in a different city? I remember that you specialized in banking law, so you should be familiar with corporate law. We have new plans!"
Seeing the other party's hesitant look, Lee also knew what Kim was worried about, and continued to add:
"Nothing illegal, but sometimes you need to be flexible. Life in Albuquerque is indeed a bit boring. This is my formal invitation."
Kim laughed softly, realizing that she had been looking forward to leaving here for a long time, and nodded in agreement.
Lee held his chin, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have been longing for an exciting life.
He didn't expect that the other party agreed so readily.
When NBA stars become successful, they usually take care of their relatives and friends.
Lee plans to take care of his good neighbor who has taken care of him since he was a child.
This is not news at all in the eyes of the New York media.
As for Albuquerque, in the eyes of many New York fans, it is just a rural place and not worth paying attention to.
On August 1, Lee just returned to New York, and the free market officially started.
The Knicks also announced the first signing of the new season at the first time:
The Knicks sent away the team's best sixth man Sprewell and exchanged Ron Artest, Toni Kukoc, the 2000 protected first-round draft pick and some cash from the Bulls.
As soon as the deal was announced, New York fans gave a thumbs up to General Manager Grunfeld!
Ron Artest, who was born in Queens, is a real local.
Playing for his hometown team will definitely give him extra motivation.
Although Artest has some minor personality issues and a lot of family troubles, New York fans don't care about these.
To sum it up:
"The Knicks welcome boxers!"
Joining his hometown championship team as he wished, Artest almost grinned from head to back of his head during an interview, happily expressing his excitement:
"I grew up in Queens, and the Knicks are the team I most want to play for. Now my dream has come true, I'm so happy!"
"I like playing with Lee, he is a true genius, I watched the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals no less than 20 times! That was my favorite series!"
Toni Kukoc, who joined the Knicks, had mixed feelings.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to join without winning.
He was considered a core player of the Bulls last season and was a starter throughout the season.
After joining the Knicks, he will definitely become a substitute again.
Toni Kukoc had no words to express his bitterness.
Considering his current situation, he could only say polite words:
"The Knicks are a championship team. I am very happy to play for the team. I will contribute my strength."
For professional basketball critics, Artest and Kukoc did not attract everyone's attention.
On the contrary, the first-round draft pick obtained by the Knicks has caused widespread discussion.
In the past two years, the Knicks' record has remained high, and they have been 29th every year.
Most of the players selected are atmosphere groups.
After considering Ewing's status, many people are concerned about the renewal of the Knicks' inside line.
The sports media in Los Angeles have been praising O'Neal every day recently, saying that he will blow up all the inside lines in the league.
The media in New York are not convinced and continue to praise Ewing.
Throughout July, the gorilla spent most of his time in Atlanta, practicing basketball with three or five friends.
Such a life is absolutely wonderful!
Ewing, who returned to New York at the end of July, also frequently appeared on some TV shows.
Unlike Lee who was affected by the incident in early May, the gorilla did not have so many concerns.
Although Ewing has gained some weight, the New York media is confident at this time:
"In order to fight against O'Neal, Pat took a huge risk of injury and finally chose to gain muscle. This is the desire of top stars for the championship!"
"."
On the morning of the 2nd, Lee almost sprayed out the milk in his mouth after seeing this report in his Manhattan apartment.
The New York media has reached the pinnacle of lying with open eyes, and they still praise the body shape!
Krysten Ritter, who was sitting across the table, quickly handed the tissue to Lee, and then whispered:
"Don't read the newspaper while eating breakfast!"
In a few months, she will be 18 years old.
Although the little follower has not changed a lot, her figure has become much plumper.
After graduating from high school, Krysten Ritter plans to focus on her modeling career.
Lee feels a little sorry when he sees the little follower who has become much more sensible.
Influenced by him, Krysten Ritter has never made friends in the past two years of high school life.
In school, she is isolated.
There are more black girls in public schools, and Krysten Ritter's skin color and appearance have become targets of attack.
Although the little follower never complained to him about these things, the little succubus Scarlett often shared some campus gossip with him.
As one of the most popular beautiful girls in the school, Scarlett was naturally envied by many people, but that budding succubus was very scheming.
She attracted a group of little sisters who liked luxurious life and held parties whenever she had time.
Lee didn't care about the budding succubus' little things, but he could help the little follower's career a little:
"Come to Madison Square Garden to watch the game when you have time in the future. Believe me, it won't be long before those who exclude you will shut up!"
Krysten Ritter smiled immediately when she heard Lee's words, rolled her eyes, and suddenly said coquettishly:
"Can you take me to the party in the middle of the month?"
Lee returned to New York in advance to prepare for the private birthday party of the White House.
"When you turn 18, I'll take you to a party like this!"
Krysten Ritter thought of her age and felt a little depressed.
Although youth is an asset, sometimes it can also be a problem.
When breakfast was about to end, the little follower realized that Lee's excuses were all excuses.
For a moment, she was angry and secretly complained:
"I hope that blonde cow will get fat as a ball soon!"
