Chapter 628: : [You and Phil Jackson screwed up everything]

"I have no obligation to tell you who the child's father is. This is my personal business!"
Anne Hathaway finally stood up and gave a tough response despite the growing public opinion.
But her hard-line response drew more and more criticism and criticism for her.
People seem to naturally believe that public figures should give everyone an explanation in every detail.
In addition, various rumors began to spread.
Said Anne Hathaway was the illegitimate son of an Internet company boss, or some Arab oil tycoon.
It has everything.
what is interesting is.
Ashley jumped out to support Anne Hathaway at this time. She uttered on social networks:
It’s a matter of you being pregnant if you want to announce it.
"If I am pregnant, I will still not inform the world!"
Olsen's support seemed a little trivial in the face of crazy public opinion.
However, Li Zhen was taken aback.
Fortunately, things did not evolve further.
Thanks Kim Kardashian.
The woman who used to madly pursue Li Zhen finally married herself to the forward of the Nets in a dramatic way.
However, soon, he divorced him in a more dramatic way.
Moreover, now she seems to be connected with Kanye West again.
I have to say that she can really toss.
This kind of tossing also caused public opinion to shift to them.
Anyway, the Kardashian family likes the most eye-catching feeling. Several of their little sisters make various shows on TV and consume all kinds of things.
Li Zhen clapped his hands and applauded.
Interestingly, another member of the Kardashian family actually got involved with Lamar Odom of the Lakers.
Odom was thinner visible to the naked eye.
Really worried for Kanye.
...
Time advances unparalleled to 2010.
In December, the Knicks resumed their triangle offensive style, and Phil Jackson even used his best mental cues in the media. He kept emphasizing; Bruce is the second best shooting guard on the planet, he has a full set of attacking skills, he is more spiritual than Kobe, Jordan. He just didn't find the touch now.
In addition to making some extreme fans happy with such remarks, everyone basically treats him as nonsense.
All over the world, who doesn't know that Li is really a point guard?
Forcibly transforming him into a shooting guard is ridiculous.
Zen Master is now living a high degree of tension every day. If he fails to win the championship this season, his reputation in this life will be ruined.
Therefore, he began to actively operate transaction planning.
In his view, the team lineup can be better and more in line with the triangle offensive system.
He needs a scorer and a defender who is capable of singles.
In this matter, he and Jerry West reached an amazing understanding.
The only resistance they received was from James Dolan. Although Dolan was not very concerned about the operation of the Knicks club because of his love... , And then become a heartache.
"I hope you don't make Bruce sad, you must fully respect his opinion."
James Dolan's words did not let the two of them fully listen.
These two are both deliberate careerists, and they both have brilliant resumes. Frankly speaking, they can't completely subdue to one player. They all feel that they are the grand marshals who are strategizing. Even without Li Zhen, they all think they can succeed. In fact, they have also achieved success.
What's more, their plans are perfect.
Moreover, they concluded... As the championships arrive one after another, Li Zhen will accept it like Michael Jordan.
"When Bruce becomes the new basketball god, he will thank us. We do this for the team to go further!!"
"Yes, that's right. No one wants the team to be upgraded more than we do!"
Jerry West and Phil Jackson convinced each other.
Then, after obtaining the approval of the team's board of directors (James Dolan's wife), they officially started to act.
The trading window is about to close before the All-Star Game, and they don't want to miss this important opportunity.
...
Sterling Donald is a very weird boss in the NBA. In the media, his image is known for being stingy.
However, he lent money to Buss to buy the Lakers.
Then, he himself established a team in Los Angeles.
And for decades, one group was suppressed and was not recognized.
His biggest dream in this life is to kill the Lakers so that the Clippers can also become Los Angeles' championship team.
However, there has been no chance.
Many professional managers persuaded him to gamble on LeBron James and other 2003 stars in the summer of 2010. In this way, it is possible to subvert the existing pattern of Los Angeles.
However, he didn't know what to do, and he was determined to engage in Li Zhen.
Because he doesn't like black people in his bones.
This person is very persistent, stubborn and determined in his bones.
He always remembered what Jack Lee said to him, so he was waiting for a chance to get the people around Li Zhen.
When Stevens left the Knicks, he threw an olive branch to Stevens.
But Stevens didn't pick up. He doesn't want to be an assistant coach anymore. He wants to go to NCAA to be alone.
When Jemilin left, he also threw an olive branch, and even offered a very creative contract, one-year internship, two-year regularization, and three-year long-term contract.
But at that time Jamilin had promised Pittsburgh.
In fact, the Clippers are still contacting Isaiah Thomas, and Sterling really hopes to get Thomas' help. Even if many people say that Isaiah Thomas may be exaggerated, as long as he can attract Li Zhen, he is willing to do anything.
No, even if Blake Griffin is reimbursed for the season, he will still provide extra help, find him the best medical team, and invite him the best rehabilitation team...
Although no one can say whether this is effective or not, he just insisted stupidly.
This is how his wealth has been accumulated, and he feels that the management of the NBA can be well protected.
So, when he learned that the Knicks were actively selling Eddie Griffin, he jumped up.
He issued a deadly order to the management team: Eddie Griffin must be dealt with, and any offer can be agreed.
This sentence is really capricious.
Although Eddie Griffin's prodigal son is back, the market is not very good.
Because the depravity of Kwame Brown and Swift after leaving Li Zhen reminds all GMs in the league: The eye-catching players around Li Zhen may not be able to perform well in other teams. Only Bruce has a manual for parallel imports.
However, the Clippers are still actively making offers.
Originally, Phil Jackson and Jerry West only tentatively proposed to get Eric Gordon and Russell Butler.
As a result, the Clippers agreed.
However, they proposed a matching contract, requiring the Knicks to send Eddie Griffin while adding a player.
Jerry West and Phil Jackson thought for a long time.
They wandered between DeAndre Jordan and Yi Jianlian.
In the end, they make a decision. Send little Jordan.
"Because, sending Eddie Griffin away will definitely hurt Bruce's heart. As we all know, Griffin is Bruce's confidant. If he sends away his national teammate, his compatriot Yi Jianlian, he will definitely run away."
"We must use Yi Jianlian to keep his heart."
The two hit it off.
As a result, the trade of Eddie Griffin and Jordan for Eric Gordon and Russell Butler was quickly negotiated.
Jerry West didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He even thought at the time: We might be able to knock the Clippers idiots one or two picks.
They must think Eddie Griffin is the next Garnett, and Jordan is the next Russell, haha.
Jerry West was in a good mood and even opened a bottle of champagne that night.
Phil Jackson was also very happy.
Although Eric Gordon is a small man.
But he is a very good attacker, so far this season he averaged 16.8 points, 3.2 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. He is only in the second grade and is very likely to become an All-Star in the future. If he joins the team and forms an outside partner with Li Zhen, he will inevitably bring the characteristics of the triangle offense to the extreme.
And Russell Butler.
Although he is too old, he is also a swingman with a good scoring ability and has played well with Wade. The gun head used for the rotation lineup couldn't be better.
The more Zen master thinks, the more beautiful it becomes.
The Knicks officially took off!
He thought to himself that through this deal, the Knicks have since been icing on the cake and embarked on the pinnacle of life.
From the perspective of the two GMs, this transaction is indeed very cost-effective. What could be more cost-effective than trading the excess internal resources and trading in high-quality and lacking external scorers. The Knicks' book strength has greatly increased! !
However, they did not consider one thing at all.
That's Li Zhen's mood.
Although Phil Jackson practiced Eastern Zen all his life, he still did not understand the Eastern definition of belonging. Just as he couldn't figure out why Yao Huang would stay in Houston and reject Los Angeles. Because no matter from which point of view, Los Angeles is a better choice.
The word loyalty.
It is not in Western thinking.
...
The Knicks officially announced the deal on January 15.
At that time, Li Zhen was still canvassing votes for Zachrandorf, Eddie Griffin, and Marc Gasol on TV. He hoped that these three finalists would follow him to the All-Star and strive to turn the All-Star starting into Own people.
Due to the selection of Gasol this year, Eddie Griffin and Randolph were assigned to the forward positions.
Griffin's votes are some distance from Randolph, and even further from James.
Randolph was still joking with Griffin there: Or I will give up and let you go again this year.
Griffin rolled his eyes and murmured: It doesn't matter if I go or not. But if I come back I hear that LeBron James offends Bruce, I will clean up you!
Randolph quickly used his head to assure that no one would ever bully Bruce in the All-Stars.
However, at this time.
Suddenly, Marc Gasol raised his head diagonally, and he looked at Griffin incredulously. Then Eddie Griffin received a mobile phone text message.
Both of them are dumbfounded!
Li Zhen noticed something wrong.
Just when he was about to ask what happened.
He received a call from Jerry West and West told him that the transaction had happened. Eddie Griffin and Jordan were sent to Los Angeles... Then he reminded Bruce to calm down.
Li Zhen was not polite with him, and directly ranted on the phone: Cancel the deal quickly.
Jerry West said on the phone that the deal had been concluded and it was impossible to cancel, and then he reminded Li Zhen to calm down again.
Calm you down!
Li Zhen smashed his phone on the spot, and then he rushed to the club office.
He needs an explanation from Jerry West.
...
At the same time, public opinion was stunned.
Knicks fans never dreamed that Bruce's bodyguard would be traded in this way, and there was no prior news.
Although, Eric Gordon and Russell Butler will resolve the tensions outside the Knicks.
But everyone feels weird.
They are not used to the guy who calls himself Sauron wearing the jerseys of other teams, as well as the little Jordan, he said on TV the genius before: I will never leave New York in this life!
Griffin also said to help the team defend the title!
why?
The entire New York media was puzzled.
Li Zhen directly missed the game that night, and Zach Randolph did not participate in the press conference after the game.
When something happens, and nothing can be changed.
Li was really heartbroken.
He realized that he had no right to decide at all.
He couldn't even protect his best brother, so he could only watch him being sold as goods.
He originally thought the Knicks were his family.
However, since Isaiah left, his family members have left one by one.
Until now, it has even been sold away.
That night, Li Zhen continued to canvass for Griffin on his personal homepage: Anyway, I hope to see Griffin again in the All-Star Game.
This sentence made Eddie Griffin's vote soar, almost instantly surpassing Duncan and Anthony to start the Western Conference All-Stars.
However, it is the West after all.
"I will never forgive you, no matter how high-sounding your reasons."
Li Zhen told Jerry West on the phone. "I told you long ago not to touch Eddie. But you never respected my opinion."
"I'm not Michael Jordan, and Eddie is not Oakley."
Li Zhen was very angry.
He decided not to say a word to Jerry West.
Moreover, he shredded the renewal contract that Jerry West sent over last week and mailed it.
When Jerry West saw the table full of debris, he finally panicked.
He finally realized that Li Zhen hadn't joked with him.
He quickly called Isiah Thomas, and he hoped that Isiah Thomas would be able to adjust.
Thomas laughed at him on the other end of the phone: "Jerry, the biggest difference between you and me is that you are a shrewd calculator, and you know how to make a super strong team. But I am different. I am quite ordinary in these aspects. . However, there is only one place where I am better than you. I have a real feeling for the players and I change my heart."
"You and Phil Jackson messed up everything smartly."
"No matter what you do, it is impossible to save the deal for Eddie Griffin."
