Chapter 623: : [Grande's courage]


The season's assists king, regular season MVP, best team first team, finals MVP.
For Li Zhen, the 2008-2009 season was an undisputedly successful season.
Although at the beginning of the season, he and the team were experiencing extremely struggling running-in and were under great pressure from public opinion.
However, the true and false Athena on New Year's Eve allowed him to complete a qualitative leap. He became famous in the dunk contest and became the best dunk player in today's basketball. Michael Jordan encouraged him to become the next ruler of the league in front of the world, and he was on an equal footing with LeBron James.
Immediately after the second half of the season, with Li Zhenli's diligence, the team's integration speed increased significantly. The rookie players grew rapidly with positive encouragement, and the Knicks record all the way.
Although in the process, a management scandal broke out.
Isaiah Thomas regrets leaving, losing love and career.
However, the Knicks were undiminished in the storm, and a strong recovery went straight to second place in the east.
In the playoffs, the Chicago Bulls won the Chicago Bulls without blood. Then Cleveland will re-stage the blindfold of the 07-08 season and shoot down the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
When they finally went to Los Angeles, the two Lakers lost and won the championship.
Becoming the only team ever to win the championship with a complete victory, even crazier than the OK combination of the year!
Although there are many people discussing, the opponents the Knicks encountered in the East are far from the opponents the Lakers encountered back then.
However, the numbers are here. 16:0 is more dazzling than 16:1.
Kobe made a classic speech at the post-match press conference in Madison Garden: "...The second place is the biggest loser."
Although he graciously blessed Li Zhen to win the championship and MVP trophy, it can be seen that he is still unwilling to leave the championship stage like this. He said that the Lakers will make a comeback next season and will take back what they have lost personally!
However, after 3 minutes after his ambition.
Phil Jackson, who sat next to him, first praised the Knicks' response in the beginning of the third quarter, and praised Li Zhen for using the triangle offense properly.
Later, he said: "Frankly speaking, I am a little tired. My steps should have stopped. Basketball is no longer attractive and challenging for me. I want to return to the countryside, taking advantage of my age. It’s too big to be able to ride my Harley motorcycle and run in the sunset."
These remarks also shocked the media and Kobe.
Hei Mamba didn't expect that the Zen Master would say this suddenly, without warning.
He had never said that he was going to retire before, and now... he actually made a public statement.
Kobe stared at Zen Master with wide eyes.
The Zen master no longer explained anything.
It just means accepting this failure. Although there are unexpected factors, the Knicks are not in their peak state. They don't even have a coach.
These remarks won him a good reputation in New York, and the New York media praised him as a man of demeanor.
Because recently, there have been too many yin and yang sounds there. Said the Knicks this year's championship was too light, the two biggest opponents in the East, the Celtics and Orlando Magic were killed midway, the finals opponent Lakers lost their core center and important wings.
Phil Jackson’s remarks are undoubtedly the most powerful counterattack. As an opponent, he can honestly tell the world that the Knicks can achieve such an achievement without a head coach. It does not mean that the Knicks have no one. Is it cheap?
Moreover, who doesn't know that the current Knicks lineup was created by Isaiah Thomas? He is not there. Can you say that the Knicks' combat effectiveness has not been affected?
The New York media is becoming more and more assertive.
...
however.
Isaiah sat in front of the TV with a guilty conscience. He even felt that he could not bear the more and more turbulent, more and more surging praise.
He has never worshipped so much in his life.
The media has hailed him as the best business in NBA history.
Also, other teams are waving astronomical numbers to ask him to join.
Can he not be moved?
However, the reputation is already so good.
He really doesn't want to be discredited, caring for feathers is a psychological fluctuation that everyone will have.
Isaiah Thomas is quite strong now.
Because he knows that the Knicks championship has nothing to do with him, and his head coach also does logistics on the team. Regarding the establishment of the team, the selection of rookies, the layout of the trade... he is even more confused.
Looking back recently, it was all Bruce's handwriting and had nothing to do with him.
So, he really didn't dare to accept the sky-high checks from those bosses.
If you go by yourself and your eyes are blackened, won't you turn into a rat crossing the street again?
Isaiah never wanted to taste the taste of everyone shouting and beating.
He is not short of money now, and the severance pay given by the Knicks is very humane, and he bought out his salary for the next four years in full.
In this matter, Dolan's wife is very angry.
After all, this can be regarded as a great mandarin duck. Just like the original characters in the movie: how much money do you need to leave my man.
Although the smiling assassin did not offer a price, the thief was particular about it.
"Isaiah has contributed."
The TV finals MVP of the new section began to praise Thomas again.
Li is really a wonderful person.
Isaiah Thomas admires him very, very very much, and will never lose out with Li Zhen. In the later period of the two working together, although Isaiah was said to be the nominal general manager and vice president, in fact, he was more like a report to Li Zhen from a subordinate to a superior, and strictly implemented Li Zhen's orders.
Only then has the reputation nowadays.
Everyone carries the sedan chair.
After Li Zhen finished the praise, acting head coach Jamie Lin continued to praise.
Although the Smiling Assassin never taught him anything, he still said with a face at the press conference: "Thomas left us with precious tactical ideas. Although he left, his tactics have been leading the team forward. Therefore, this championship trophy must have his share!"
Thomas was flushed in front of the TV.
Chinese people are all good people!
Isaiah once again praised the mysterious Dongtu to heaven, that is really her own blessed land; I am an ignorant who can have the reputation today and praise China! Long live the motherland!
Thomas began to believe in reincarnation, he felt that he must have been a Chinese in his previous life.
He even feels that he now has a Chinese heart.
Li Zhen not only praised Thomas at the press conference, he also praised all the players on the team, everyone was perfect in his mouth.
The atmosphere in the team is extremely good.
This convinced the New York media that this is by no means the end. It's the beginning of the dynasty! !
...
"I need seven championship rings."
Li Zhen told Jerry West: "I mean exactly the same. I can add money for the other six rings."
Jerry West was a little stunned.
He has no tacit understanding with Li Zhen.
If Thomas was here, he would definitely understand, compare an OK, and leave a smirk.
"Is it for the family? Should I engrave my own name?" Jerry West wanted to do things well, he was very considerate.
But there is a generation gap.
Li Zhen could only continue to tell him: "I said exactly the same ring. Don't engrave anyone else's name, just write my name."
In order to prevent Jerry West from making any disturbances, he deliberately explained: "Don't let anyone know about this matter."
Although West felt strange, he nodded.
The season is over and his work has just begun.
He needs to prepare for the upcoming draft, he needs to further strengthen the team, and he has to choose a head coach for the team... his work is very heavy.
Moreover, West wants to do things better, he doesn't want to give people a feeling of lying on Isaiah Thomas's credit. He wants to keep improving, at least the kind of manager who stands on the shoulders of giants and takes his performance to the next level.
Li Zhen didn't know West's thoughts.
He just wants to get a good night's sleep...a ​​clean nap.
For him, the end of the season is just a transition from one work mode to another.
And, the thing that makes him headache. When playing in the playoffs, the blues girls were very eager but to bother him. Now that the season is over, teams seeking public rations are in an endless stream.
Although this is not a physical test for Li Zhen, the psychological burden is still heavy.
After all, Li Zhen is a conservative person.
...
When Li Zhen returned to the Li Mansion, he was asleep, and was about to sleep for three days and three nights.
The Knicks champion players started their carnival.
On the night of the championship, the prodigal son Zach Randolph finally indulged him. He contracted the most prestigious bar in New York and invited many celebrities and models together.
This night, I was drunk with gold fans.
For the first time in his life, Uah has seen the decay of capitalism... Although his hometown, Donggang, is very technical, he still has to look at the East Coast if he is wild.
Little Gasol and Little Jordan also completed their baptism this night.
As city heroes, they received unprecedented treatment.
Moreover, in the news the next day, the New York media did not criticize this behavior of Jiuchi Roulin at all.
All the players of the Knicks became basketball heroes because of the long-lost championship. Everyone became famous. They received valuable advertisements, appeared on famous TV shows, and... The focal point at the party.
Many New York ladies are hunting these guys, and being able to dance with them will become part of the sense of superiority.
Li Zhen has no interest in these things.
Although, he is the person with the most commercial return in this championship.
But for party invitations and TV show invitations, he rejected them all.
He went to Los Angeles on the third day after winning the championship, he was going to guest star in a new film invested by the company. By the way, he had to give Ashley Olsen a long-lost hug.
And Mary is also in Hollywood.
"You should really buy a house in Los Angeles," Ashley suggested to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen has many careers and investments on the West Coast. Most of his wealth has been invested in Silicon Valley, and most of his blues ladies stay in Los Angeles.
If Li Zhen had not established a brilliant basketball career on the East Coast, he should have played in Los Angeles...Although he was once a Lakers player.
But now, no matter how much the Lakers fans regret, they can't go back to the past.
Donald Sterling is a very imaginative businessman, although he has a lot of bad rumors. For example, stingy, stingy, racial discrimination, discrimination... But he has an unparalleled enthusiasm for Li Zhen.
When he ran into Li Zhen at the Nokia Theatre in Hollywood, he said without blocking: "If you join the Clippers, I will sell you 30% of the equity!"
He is always challenging the rules of the league.
I have to admit that this is a very tempting offer.
But Li Zhen told him seriously: "I have no plans to leave New York."
This made Sterling quite injured.
He felt...this was the most generous time in his life.
But he maintained his demeanor: "If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."
Li Zhen just smiled.
But that night, Li Zhen's father found Sterling.
The Clippers have this year's No. 1 pick.
And Mr. Jack Lee has made great gains in the NCAA this year. He has three popular rookies in his hands, including Blake Griffin, who was identified by the media as the top pick.
Griffin is black, but he looks like white.
This is in line with Sterling's skin tone aesthetic.
However, Griffin recently broke some unfavorable draft market. Basketball experts are questioning whether his defense and height can adapt to the NBA, and whether he will become the next Swift.
The reputation of the African prodigy Thabeet is increasing day by day, and the Clippers have recently tried out him. Dunleavy is very satisfied with him.
Therefore, Jack Lee had to take this trip himself.
He hoped Sterling would give Griffin a draft promise.
But Sterling said unfailingly: "As long as you can bring your son to Los Angeles, I will choose whoever you let me choose."
Old Li was stunned.
Is it too straightforward?
Besides, I can't be the lord of Li Zhen.
"As far as I know, Bruce has only one year left in the contract with the Knicks. He has not reached an early renewal with the Knicks." Sterling continued: "We can completely manipulate this."
Jack Lee couldn't bear such a naked conspiracy.
He can only tell Sterling that if you want Bruce, you'd better choose Griffin. Because Bruce has liked people with Griffin in his name since he was a child, look, Eddie Griffin of the Knicks! !
Jack Lee said this is a threat.
But the old man Sterling became a kind of suggestion: I also blamed Lao Li, he just talked, had to do so many inner dramas, and his expression management was very unsuccessful.
"Does this imply that I started from someone close to Bruce?"
Sterling asked himself, and then his mind became active.
He hurried to get people to contact Isaiah Thomas.
In any case, get Isaiah Thomas first! !
Then, see if I can get Eddie Griffin over.
Since Bruce likes Griffin, it's okay to replace the whole team with Griffin! !
Sterling, this Grande is rare to be so bold!
