Before Eddie Griffin and Radmanovic were suspended by the team, Li Zhen spoke with Kobe Bryant on the phone.

When he learned... Griffin was about to beat Kobe Bryant at the time, and he didn't know how to say the words of mediation in his stomach.

Eddie Griffin's temper Lee really knows, his behavior is also very weird, the people he agrees with, he desperately defends, he doesn't agree, you just drag it to the sky, he will also swing his fist.

So, within the Lakers. He obeyed Li Zhen's command. Although Kobe Bryant is the leader of the team, he never buys it.

In the past, when Li Zhen was still in the locker room, everyone was fine.

However, the Orlando game exposed Kobe Bryant's incompatibility with his style of play. The Black Mamba has always been the kind of personality that goes heads-up on his own, and even if he packs the ball, he may not pass the ball. And Griffin is used to playing with Li Zhen, and as long as he actively runs out of the open space, the basketball will pass to him.

But when it comes to Kobe, no matter how positive he is, he can't get the ball.

So, he was already very emotional and stormed off the spot.

Especially when Bryant passed the ball to him in a powerless way, and also criticized why he didn't shoot the basketball. His emotions collapsed, and he didn't cooperate a lot on the court, he grabbed rebounds and even pushed himself through the backcourt halfcourt, and the ball was not passed to Kobe. On the defensive end, he didn't wipe the black mamba's ass, which made Kobe very uncomfortable.

And in the locker room, when Kobe Bryant pointed the finger at Griffin.

Griffin went berserk, picked up the folding chair and smashed it at Kobe. Fortunately, he was blocked by assistant coach Brian Shaw, and then he rushed up to beat the black mamba, and of course the players blocked it. But in the process of blocking, Radmanovic actually secretly kicked and gave Black Mamba a kick in the waist.

But he didn't die and was caught red-handed by Kobe.

As a result, both Radmanovic and Eddie Griffin were suspended.

Li Zhen listened to the ins and outs of this locker room battle, and he didn't have anything to say.

No team would tolerate that.

Fortunately, this matter is properly blocked, and if it gets out, public opinion will be a hundred times greater than it is now... Maybe Kobe Bryant didn't want to spread the news that he was beaten by his teammates.

"I'm not going to get angry with you as I say in the news. This matter has nothing to do with you, and it will not affect our friendship. Kobe Bryant told Li Zhen very seriously: "However, these two people must be punished." ”

Li Zhen had nothing to say.

These two are so impulsive that they can't beat anyone no matter what, let alone Kobe.

Alas!

Li Zhen could only hang up the phone and sigh.

The day after the Lakers announced the in-team suspensions of the two forwards, Eddie Griffin returned to Los Angeles with his bag. He told Li Zhen: "Kwamei also did it, but he was not caught." ”

It sounded like he was a little smug.

This made Li Zhenhao speechless for a while.

Then, he began to criticize Eddie Griffin, who he hoped would give Kobe an apology. Because no matter what, it's the wrong choice to do it.

Eddie Griffin didn't refute it, and said he could apologize.

If Kobe Bryant knew about Griffin's performance in front of Li Zhen, he would definitely be even more sad. Because at that time, he just said in the locker room: You can't even shoot this kind of ball, why do you still want to play in the NBA? As a result, Eddie Griffin went berserk at him. Immediately afterwards, some people took advantage of the chaos to kick themselves.

Eddie Griffin apologized to Kobe Bryant through Li Zhen's mobile phone in the afternoon.

Kobe Bryant, though still emotional, finally didn't say anything.

However, the accident happened the next evening.

At the time, Eddie Griffin was accompanying Li Zhen to rehearsals at the Nokia Theater, and Griffin would also appear at the weekend's performances: this was the opportunity he repeatedly asked Li Zhen to get, and even mixed in with a certain condition of apologizing to Kobe.

Just as they had finished their rehearsals and were ready to proceed to the restaurant they had booked for dinner.

Eddie Griffin receives a call from his agent, and Griffin tells Li Zhen in frustration: "I've been traded." ”

What the??

Li Zhen was also stunned at that time.

He believes that this matter has come to an end, after all, Griffin has sincerely apologized to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant has also said that he will not pursue it again. Even Li Zhen said that he would set up a table of 'and head wine' after Kobe Bryant returned to Los Angeles.

Why do you trade all of a sudden?

And, in the follow-up news, it was also learned that Eddie Griffin was traded to Memphis. It was actually a second-round rookie named Lawrence Roberts, plus a trade exception and a second-round pick next year.

Isn't this a robbery?

Eddie Griffin!! The best contract of the year.

The Lakers' most important man on the bench, he supports the defense and athleticism of the second team. Actually changed a bunch of air??

Crazy??

Li Zhen was very depressed.

He quickly called Phil Jackson, but Phil Jackson told him there, "It's not a deal I agreed to, and I'm in shock right now." ”

Then, Li Zhen contacted Kobe Bryant again.

Kobe Bryant told Lee that two days ago, I did say I was going to trade these two bastards. However, I later told Kupchak not to hurt your feelings. I retracted those words.

The Black Mamba is not a good liar.

So, this matter must be led by Kupchak.

……

The Los Angeles media soon picked up on the deal, and they dismissed the deal as a naked robbery! Even the rest of the league claims it's a ridiculous deal, and the Lakers traded the best players on their bench for a bunch of air, which must have been a conspiracy!!

However, the wood is already in the boat.

Eddie Griffin had to get on a plane to Tennessee before New Year's Day, and he would soon be wearing a Memphis jersey to represent another city.

Li Zhen is very sad about this, he lost the first best friend he made in the NBA.

And, as a result, he knew his own powerlessness. He frantically called Kupchak and Jeanie Bass yesterday in the hope of ending the deal. However, Kupchak's answer was cold: it was not a game, there was no chance of a restart.

And Jeanie Bass said she would try. But her efforts didn't pay off.

"Even Tracy Maddy couldn't stop her close friend from being traded." Bill Duffy then comforted Li Zhen. He was telling the story of McMiller being traded to Memphis by Orlando.

But it is clear that Li Zhen is not interested in this story at all. "So, players can never decide whether their teammates go or stay?"

"Not really. But at least you have to be the leader of a certain team and let the team build around you. That way, you can have a say in the lineup. ”

Bill Duffy's answer was objective.
