Isaiah Thomas has been idle lately and has nothing to do.

None of the players he wanted to sign were signed, and he had planned to give Rashad Lewis a contract to add a tall shooter to the team to match Li Zhen. Who knew that the Orlando Magic team was crazy, first renewing Dwight Howard in advance for 5 years and 85 million, and then turned around and auctioned Rashad Lewis for a sky-high price of $110 million for 6 years.

It made Thomas's scalp tingle. He originally planned to offer Lewis a five-year, 70 million contract...... This is no small anymore, you must know that Billups signed a five-year, $60 million contract with the Pistons only two days ago.

It's all price gouging.

After turning his head on Lewis, Thomas focused on Luke Wharton again, who knew that Luke Wharton ignored him for half a day, and turned around to renew his contract with the Lakers for 5 years and 30 million.

There are no big fish in the market, and the smiling assassin can only give up and take one step at a time.

And just when he was idle and had nothing to do, the verbal fight between Census Reid and Li Zhen caught his attention.

He fought back then: "If the Portland Trail Blazers want war, they can come to the door at any time." ”

"Their youth army just looks good."

"Greg Oden hasn't proven himself in the NBA yet, so he's blowing now, aren't you afraid that the bubble will burst and drench yourself in water?"

"I don't like to say curses, but my only piece of advice to Greg is: don't trust the medical team in Portland, they never proved themselves."

"In the end, Kevin Durant is the best rookie of the tournament."

Isaiah Thomas punched down in front of the media in a combo and was refreshed.

He's been so suffocating lately that if it weren't for James Dolan's daily pestering him to play golf and inspect the women's basketball team, he would have wanted to go straight to Las Vegas to join in the fun.

Lately, he's been too idle.

……

The Chinese team only finished 19th out of 24 teams due to only 1 win and 2 losses in the regular season, and according to the rules, they will play a single-elimination match against the 14th-ranked Dallas Mavericks, and if they win, they will have a second round showdown with the top eight seeds with a bye in the first round.

If Li Zhen is not in the Chinese team, the Chinese team will definitely be drawn.

But now, Li Zhendu has beaten the champion who has high hopes from the outside world to go for tonsil surgery, how can the Mavericks still be happy.

The Mavericks have had bad luck in the past two years, and last season, they were overturned by the Heat with a 2-0 lead in the Finals and became Dwyane Wade's legendary MVP. Last season, they managed to finish first in the regular season, but in the first round, they met the Warriors led by Nowitzki's mentor Nelson Sr., and immediately staged a rare black eight in history.

And now, as soon as the prelude to the new season sounded, they met the Chinese team with Bruce Lee.

This luck... It's a shame not to buy the big lotto.

But fortunately, Li Zhen did not go all out in this game as much as in the last game. Most of the time, he runs the team in a very 'laid-back' rhythm, allowing his teammates to find the feeling of the game and find the tacit understanding of cooperation.

Under his guidance, the quality of the Chinese team's attack has improved slightly, and it has shown some dynamic thinking. No longer hand the ball to the leading scorer and then everyone else stands to equal the ball.

"You have to move to find your chance. Talent can be inferior to others, but consciousness must be ahead of others. ”

Li Zhen has always emphasized this point.

In fact, Younas has repeatedly emphasized it, but he is only on paper after all.

It is not as practical as Li Zhen personally leading the troops to practice, Li Zhen leads the Chinese team to a more dynamic style of play with his amazing thinking ability and wonderful assists.

These things have imperceptibly brought extremely important nourishment to many players.

is like Yi Jianlian, before, his brain was as if it was formatted, and wherever the tactical board asked him to stand to catch the ball, he would never move his nest. Now, under the guidance of Li Zhen, he gradually learns to observe the overall dynamics of the half, and will independently assess the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and then take corresponding actions, that is... He is more integrated into the game than ever before and no longer sees himself as a pawn on the tactical board.

This will help him a lot in his upcoming NBA journey. Because in the NBA, competition for positions is fierce, and it's one of the best jobs in the world, and everyone wants to get more performance in a limited amount of time to squeeze out their competitors and earn playing time and earn high-paying contracts.

In a sense, the NBA is a highly market-based league with too many talented players competing for the top. And Yi Jianlian is in China, in that league that is almost a planned economy, after he shows his talent, he is treated as an absolute core training, he doesn't need to fight for the ball at all, someone will automatically hand him the ball and let him play comfortably.

But in the NBA, as a pitcher, being too honest can't make the climate.

Li Zhen sincerely hopes that Yi Jianlian can understand this truth.

The Chinese team entered the fourth quarter and trailed the Mavericks by 11 points.

But this point difference quickly tied as Li Zhen entered singles mode, and no one in the Mavericks could defend Li Zhen's breakthrough.

This kind of abuse is not challenging for Li Zhen, if it is not for the training of his teammates in the national team, Li Zhen really doesn't want to compete with these low-level opponents, it is too boring.

When the final whistle blows.

122：111。

The Chinese team won the game bloodlessly under the leadership of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen, who scored 25 points, 15 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, dominated the whole game.

The domestic media shouted long live, this is already the best result that the Chinese team has achieved in the summer league. Now they have reached the round of 16.

Next, the Chinese team will face the fifth seed in the Rational Tournament, which is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although the Bobcats can't play official games, they are good players in preseason. Because their players themselves are made up of a large number of rookie and NBDL players...... To use an internet buzzword, they're extremely good at pulling their opponents to NBDL level and then beating them with a lot of experience.

……

"Can you not play tomorrow afternoon?"

When Michael Jordan saw Li Zhen at the party, he couldn't help but complain to Li Zhen. The basketball god has gained weight recently, and it can be seen from his misty eyes that he has been living in Las Vegas very well these days. That is, Li Zhen has not irrigated his talent space recently, otherwise he would have to suck Jordan dry.

And the reason why Li Zhen appeared at this party was because of Kevin Durant's strong invitation.

The NBA's rising star and future superstar, who has opened the biggest sponsorship contract since LeBron James, waited at the door of Li Zhen's room with great enthusiasm after Li Zhen finished playing the Mavericks. The appearance of waiting for the return of the lover with affection made Li Zhen's heart furious.

Durant also twisted and pinched, and talked around for a while before explaining his intentions.

It turned out that Nike executives had a big party here in Las Vegas, inviting many big names in the cultural and sports circles and socialites: this is a social event often held by American high society.

Kevin Durant was also invited, but... He is another dead hanger, a person who has passed and is cowardly.

So, I came to call Li Zhen...... It was the only one he knew who had seen the world.

And most importantly, "My Goddess will be here tonight too, so... You must help me introduce me when the time comes. ”

Li Zhen was stunned.

Do you want me to introduce you? Who is she? Do I know each other? How do I refer you?

"With your prestige in Hollywood, the goddess will definitely be willing to talk to you more, I'll just stand by and listen."

What a humble request.

Li Zhen raised his head and looked at him helplessly, thinking: Can you look like a billionaire? With your current status, you can play matchmaking matches with Hollywood A-list female stars, why do you act like a lewd sling hiding behind a computer.

Li Zhen couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't until he got into Durant's car and Durant said that earth-shattering words that he realized that he had overestimated Durant.

This guy is not only a sling, but also a sling of slings.

He actually said, "To tell you the truth, I'm even willing to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water." She's so sexy that I can't help but shudder at the thought of her appearance. ”

… There is no help.

Look at his cowardice, even if Scarlett was lying on his bed, he didn't dare to turn over and get on the horse, most likely took out the long-cherished tissue from his school bag, and... Fix it yourself.

Michael Jordan talked to Li Zhen for a while, and then went over to Tiger Woods with his wine glass.

Michael's greatest pleasure now is playing golf, but it is said that he is not playing as well as Barkley.

Li Zhen also planned to go over to chat with Tiger Woods, on the one hand, because he had watched Tiger Woods' games since he was a child, and on the other hand, Woods was his alumnus. And, when Li Zhen first joined the NBA and was ridiculed, he spoke for Li Zhen in the media.

But... When the celebrities at the party found Li Zhen, he was immediately surrounded by water.

These celebrities in high society can't get rid of their admiration for handsome guys, and they are even crazier, rubbing all kinds of oil, rubbing Li Zhen intentionally or unintentionally with their fingers or other parts of their bodies. There are also those who took the initiative to stuff small notes and small business cards into Li Zhen's suit pockets, which made Li Zhen quite embarrassed.

"Look, I'm just going to say I shouldn't be in this kind of place."

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic overtures of fifteen or sixteen ladies, Li Zhen and Kevin Durant found a corner to sit down, and he told Durant helplessly: "Those women are actually hungry for my body, and their love for handsome guys is really creepy." ”

Forehead....

Durant was speechless, he originally wanted to ask Li Zhen a little bit of skills on how to talk to girls.

Now it seems that he will definitely not be able to learn the real talent from Li Zhen.

This guy didn't have to talk to him, he was standing there, and the women pounced on him like bees.

What kind of pick-up skills do you use, just say 'Who wants to open a room with me', and the woman in the back can be lined up to the toilet.

Alas!

Durant was a little sad.

At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Bruce, at nine o'clock, look, my goddess is here, the one in the black gold dress." Hurry up and help me make an appointment with her, I'll go to the toilet and wash my face, quick! Fast! Fast! ”

After Durant said this, he hurriedly ran away.

Leaving Li Zhen messy in the wind.

What's going on?

Do you want a wife and a child?
