Chapter 708: :【The Twilight Club of the Gods working around】


  When your team has a group of veterans, and it is a super big man who was once the best, the atmosphere inside the team is hard not to get up.
The group of people caught by the Clippers can be said to have opened up the golden age of the NBA. They played an indispensable role in the expansion of the NBA’s influence on the whole world, and each of them has a legend. Have a unique personal label.
  The media also cares about the daily lives of these retired superstars.
  At first, everyone was thinking about making two big news, preferably like Li Zhen and Blake Griffin in Las Vegas.
  The result is good.
  This group of veterans who have made great achievements in the history of nightclubs across the United States went to participate in the cultural exchange meeting of Eastern Buddhism under the leadership of Assistant Marbury.
When    came out, they all said that they had benefited a lot, and their eyes were calm like a butcher who just put down his butcher knife, full of Buddha nature. Update the fastest computer terminal::/
  Ron Artest said on the spot that he would change his name, and he would change the charity world peace, which was changed in the previous two years, to the boundless power of Dharma.
  Atay’s designation is on top.
Although the return of Stephen Marbury did not cause much response in the media, Li Zhen took a reassurance.
  Lao Ma has done a great job in China over the years, learned advanced concepts, and helped a team win two championships there, and also placed his statue outside the stadium.
  If it's not for Li Zhen, call him: Lao Ma, come and help brother.
  He really wants to spend his old age in his motherland.
   However, returning to the Clippers can be regarded as a curve to save the country.
  Currently, in the basketball public opinion circle of the motherland, the Clippers are already a Chinese team. Although it is revealed that most of the shares of this team are held by a group of female stars, the Chinese are very open-minded and have ancient wisdom as the theoretical basis. It will be Li Zhen sooner or later whether you marry a chicken and follow a chicken, or any girl who turns her elbow out.
  There are even nonchalant commentators from the motherland who blatantly claimed: These are just the means of our old Li’s to comfort the backyard.
  It’s accurate!
After Marbury returned to Los Angeles to take up his post, he first socialized with the retired superstars. He brought the advanced Chinese tea culture to the Clippers. While making tea, he chatted with the old guys, talked about everyone's feelings over the years, and talked about some spiritual belonging... The old horse is getting more and more troublesome.
  After drinking this tea, the minds of the veterans gathered a lot.
  Especially this Pu'er, the more you drink, the more delicious it is.
  It may be that the age is up, and whiskey, red wine... etc. can no longer bring them new excitement. On the contrary, Lao Ma, a combination of oriental culture, has fought down, and people in middle age are soaked by this metaphysical culture.
  After in-depth exchanges with the old comrades, Lao Ma met with the young players again with the assistance of Secretary Eddie.
  Lao Ma first criticized some players for not paying attention to the problem of life style, and named Blake Griffin.
Then, he explained to everyone the practical significance and the necessary path of how to condense into a great team. He told the young people: only to use one place, twist the willpower into a rope, and hand over the back selflessly. Teammates can become a team that has left a name in history.
  Young people seem to understand but do not understand, and they think it is a mystery.
  After all, when newcomers are new, Lao Ma still has to say some stereotypes.
  But the days are still long, Marbury has full confidence to let young people grow a sense of teamwork, core consciousness and establish a correct outlook on life, values, and worldview.
  ……
  The vigorous suspension finally ended at the end of November.
   ended with a comprehensive compromise from the management.
  At this time, the training camps of each team finally started, and the deployment of the preseason was also supported.
  Basketball fans finally ushered in the beginning of the new season.
  This long offseason may be anxious for other teams, but it is full of opportunities for the two Los Angeles teams.
  Their center Yao Xuan finally got an unprecedented training vacation. Their head coach Mike Brown confidently declared: We will come to a 360-degree turn.
  This cold joke made the media laugh for a long time, so that Jason Kidd jumped out: McBrown needs to pay me a little intellectual copyright fee.
  This classic term is the rhetoric when Jason Kidd joined the Nets.
  History proves that Jason Kidd did change the Nets and led the team to the Finals twice, but they did not win the championship.
  Will the Lakers repeat their mistakes?
   Kobe Bryant doesn’t care what McBrown rushes to say on TV. With his high school diploma, it’s hard for him to understand the difference between three hundred and sixty degrees and one hundred and eighty degrees.
  Three days after the start of the Lakers training camp, Kobe told reporters with a look of excitement: "I feel that the strength of the Lakers has far exceeded the OK combination of the year. You never know how strong the chemical reaction between me, Chris Paul and Yao Huang is."
   "I can tell the competitors very frankly: If you want to guard us, unless you figure out the Pythagorean theorem within 3 seconds."
   Kobe's very confident face appeared on TV.
  At that time, Yao Huang was having dinner with Li Zhen in the Li's mansion, and the two Chinese looked at each other in confusion.
   Is the Pythagorean Theorem difficult?
  Hook three strands, four strings and five ah!
Does    take three seconds?
  Ahem.
  Yao Xuan coughed to express his embarrassment:
To be honest, we shouldn’t be too harsh on the mathematics of black people.

   "Yes." Li Zhen nodded: "After all, Kobe is just a high school student and a sports student."
  The two Chinese nodded ingeniously.
  In the subsequent chat with Yao Huang, Li Zhen confirmed that the chemistry of Yao Huang, Kobe, and Paul is indeed very, very good. Yao Huang also said that this is the smoothest basketball he has ever played.
  Yao Huang will not lie.
  Yao Xuan kindly reminded Li Zhen: "You have to be careful, we are really aggressive this time, I feel that no team can stop us."
  Also, he asked Li Zhen: "How is your team preparing now? Is the integration with those senior superstars going well?"
  Um.......
  Li is really a little bit ashamed to speak up.
  The seniors are busy taking care of their bodies. Stephen Nash dug up Nash's medical team.
  The doctor named Nelson is so strict, and he has developed a recovery plan for all the veterans.
   and told Li Zhen very annoyingly:
The priority now is to let the old players gradually recover, and the tactics will slowly come to the regular season. The regular season does not matter.

   Is this fair?
  Like!
  Team assistant coach Stephen Marbury, head coach Jamie Lin, two consultants Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown all firmly agreed.
  What can Li Zhen do?
  But... his bosses hope the team's box office revenue this season will increase by 20% over last year?
  How can I fix this?
  It’s impossible to get a high box office if you keep losing.
  I can only work as hard as possible.
  It is worthy of the 29 games that will be the best in the league in the new season...Because of the suspension, only 66 games will be played in the new season.
  It is worth mentioning that the Clippers’ sideline billboards this season sold to the highest price ever.
  On the one hand, Li Zhen is very hot.
  One part is because the Clippers are the defending champion.
  On the other hand, more or less because the Clippers assembled a group of superstars from the beginning of the new century. In Charles Barkley’s words: Half of the twilight of the gods was spilled on the floor of Staples.
Before the arrival of the preseason, the Clippers announced the official list of players for the new season: Dakomili Sic, Jermaine O’Neal, Eddie Griffin, Blake Griffin, Vince Carter, Ron Artest Stewart, Gordon Hayward, Li Zhen, Stephen Nash, Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson and this year's draft pick Jimmy Butler.
  Because the Clippers' record last season was not bad, they only got the 22nd draft pick in the first round. At that time, Li Zhen told Isiah Thomas to see if he could go to Bo-Bo Kawhi Leonard. As a result, Leonard was traded up by the Spurs, allowing the Pacers to be robbed directly in the form of a lottery, and the substitution was achieved that night.
  Isaiah Thomas was very angry, but fortunately he chose a second plan.
   Jimmy Butler.
  A tough steel guy and senior rookie who is ill-fated and ugly enough to be abandoned by his parents.
  This guy is really shocked.
On the first day in the training camp, he got into the bar with Ron Artest. Artest wanted to play a few head-to-head confrontations with him, but he did well. Two confrontations came up and hit Artest’s ribs. broken.
  Now, it is not certain whether Artest can come back before February next year. After all, Artest is getting old and has been hurt for a hundred days.
  However, instead of blaming the steel rookie, Artest valued him very much. After receiving the bones from the hospital and returning to the arena, he almost regarded Jimmy Butler as a successor to him. These years of defensive experience and offensive skills were taught.
  Because of Artest's cover, and the heroic and dry big brother Allen Iverson appointed this guy as a bodyguard, so... Jimmy Butler had a good life in the Clippers.
  So that when Tracy McGrady came to try out, Li Zhen directly arranged Jimmy Butler to fight Tracy McGrady.
   Tracy McGrady has always felt that he has the ability to return to the NBA. After learning that the Clippers had formed the Ragnarok Presbyterian House, his thoughts were moved. With a lot of support, I came to try out.
  However, Li Zhen thinks that Tracy is not ready yet, whether it is psychological or physical, his whole person is bloated. He came here just to maintain the exposure rate and extend the Adidas sponsorship contract.
  So, Li Zhen told him Tracy: If you can hit 4 goals under this rookie's defense in 11 rounds, we will sign you.
  At the same time, he also told Jimmy Butler: If you let Tracy hit 4 goals on your head, I will let Ron Artest and Allen Iverson take you to the beach in the middle of the night to wear a women’s bikini and drag tires to exercise.
   Jimmy Butler, as a straight steel man, how can he wear a bikini?
  Although he felt a surge in his heart when he heard the women’s bikini.
  But he still executed the boss’s command very desperately.
  Poor Tracy was sniped.
  Anyway, after the heads-up, Tracy McGrady left, rubbing his chest and wailing, without even saying hello.
  He changed hands and went to the next door.
  Kobe is really righteous, knowing that Tracy is already a waste, but the Lakers still prepared 1 year-end salary for Tracy.
   also don’t know if they want to save the reputation they lost during Stephen Nash’s trading hours through this move. Anyway...Anyone knows that signing Tracy McGrady is a human being.
  In his current competitive state...not to mention it.
  Beat dogs sometimes use meat buns, right?
  ……
  The pre-season is coming soon. Because it is a suspended season, this year’s pre-season will also take a form. The Clippers have two indicators. And it's going to the casino to revitalize tourism.
  In the two games, Li Zhen did not play.
  The Twilight Elderly House of the Gods has given full play. Except for Artest and Xiao Ao, who are recovering from injuries, other players have given full play.
  Li Zhen even gave the old players KPIs.
   "AI, you have to get at least one player in this game."
   "Vince, you need at least a big windmill for this game."
   "Jason, you have to miss at least ten shots tonight..."
   "Stephen, you will take more free throws and lick your hands more!"
  "……"
   Isn’t it all to miss the youth of the past? Can you put the bench down and speak well? Political Commissar Ma, come and do some ideological work?
  Li Zhen soon said that he was just joking and everyone was free to play tonight.
   Playing around is playing around.
  On the court, these old guys really worked hard.
Iverson, who has been off the court for almost two years, heard the cheers of the audience. He was very happy. Although the speed is not as explosive as before, he really dares to rossover. The Chicago Bulls point guard Kirk Sinrich was He didn't make this or that.
  In the end, he could only obey the public opinion and deliberately stumbled.
  A burst of cheers from the audience.
  Li Zhen gave his opponent a thumbs up: Good job. Good acting! !
  After all, it was the preseason.
  No one can really defend.
   Vince Carter’s dunk was taken for granted. He not only dunked a big windmill, but also a small one.
  After all, they are all defensive eyes. Don't the young people in Chicago want to be VIP audiences?
   Stephen Nash also took a free throw and licked his hand.
  The three guards filled their feelings.
  It’s Jason Kidd who doesn’t live up to it. He wants to hit the iron, but if it fails, you say you’re wronged.
   Back then, Ji did not attack or defend Ai, but now Ai started to pass, and Na also learned to defend. Kidd... changed his face. He has never been able to shoot and turned into an outside shooter.
  You say irritating but not irritating.
When   Kid was off the court, he slapped his thigh: "Bruce, you are too embarrassed. It is too difficult to strike ten times!"
  This is Versailles whole.
  I don’t know, I thought it was in the content of Kobe Bryant.
  Li Zhen nodded his head with a wry smile. He said to Jason Kidd: "You finally become the person you hate the most."
Ok?
  Kid did not want to understand.
  But, it doesn’t matter anymore.
  98: 118.
  The first game of the preseason, the Clippers ended in a landmark massacre.
  After the game, Li Zhen praised the old generation of players for their high spirits and good competitive state. I hope everyone will continue to work hard, continue to improve, and move forward, and they will definitely win a better tomorrow!
