0266: [It's rich]
Bruce is the only man in the world today who can make the basketball god so out of shape.
But then again, this kind of thing... Even if the Bobcat management heard the news, they didn't dare to let Jordan know.
Although Ridge Joe has admitted that his actions in the draft may not be so correct, if he had previously reported the clues of the Lakers' intention to trade Li Zhen to Jordan. Jordan will definitely measure the material resources of the whole team to make the Lakers happy, what Okafor, what Wallace, what Morrison, there is no one he dare not send.
As for draft picks, he would definitely dare to do something more 'skew-spilling' than Isaiah Thomas.
I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Li Zhen poured into Jordan, which made him so fascinated.
But in any case, no matter what the grudge is based on, Isaiah Thomas will never trade Bruce Lee to Charlotte again. Therefore, the god of basketball can only be particularly troubled.
……
New York City is located in the southeast of New York on the Atlantic coast, is the largest city and the largest port in the United States, the New York metropolitan area is the largest urban circle in the world, but also the world's financial center, the entertainment industry is also very vigorous development, the media is an old empire. There are also the famous Yankees, Jets and Giants in sports.
However, in terms of basketball, since the Knicks entered the new century, they have no bright spots, and even become the laughing stock of the world.
Once upon a time, Madison Garden was known as the basketball Mecca, and it was here that all the draft players began their basketball dreams. But now that it's a touring stage for the visiting superstars, disheartened fans are used to applauding Kobe, Wade, Garnett, James and more.
The news surrounding the New York Knicks has long been about victory, but about the strife, the discord between the generals, or the high pay and the lack of competence and the stuff of contracts.
No fans have long had high hopes for this group of players.
Due to Isaiah Thomas's many suffocating operations, the Knicks now have no salary space to make big-name reinforcements. The only thing the Knicks can expect is to pick a cornerstone player from the draft.
But now, the Smiling Assassin has once again punctured the illusions of New York fans by trading an unprotected first-round pick from the summer of 2007 for Bruce Lee.
Although everyone knows that Bruce Lee has played well this season, he is also a point guard who was born and raised in New York.
However, the controversy about his 'fame and power' has been flooding the media.
The New York media are eager to give the upcoming newcomer some applause and encouragement in the hope that he can lead the team to a revival. But the New York Times couldn't help but worry about the comment: we still have to be conservative in the face of this half-scratched ticket. After all, what we're paying for is a ticket that could be selected as the cornerstone of the next 10 years.
When the New York Times was neutral, the media watched on the sidelines.
This is the opposite of the scene when Stephen Marbury returned home, and when Marbury returned to New York, it was absolutely a roar of gongs and drums and firecrackers. The name of "Son of New York" is so loud that the New York Times even personally endorses the title of "the world's No. 1 point guard". However, now, Marbury has become a cancer that everyone can get rid of, and he has three seasons left on the big contract of 100 million yuan, also known as the garbage contract of the garbage contract, which cannot be traded, and no team wants to take over. Moreover, Marbury did not agree to the buyout, he just wanted the contract to flow a penny into his bank account.
And that's why the Knicks pay such a high luxury tax.
……
Lee arrived at JFK Airport alone, but to the surprise of the New York media, Isaiah Thomas, Donnie Walsh, and owner James Dolan were all waiting at the airport.
This is a great encouragement for the fans: it is a great start.
But what happened that night was that the New York Knicks were brutally beaten by 39 points when they faced the New Jersey Nets at home. Jason Kidd led the troika through Madison Garden, and they got what they wanted.
It was Stephen Marbury who was taken out and attacked wildly in this game.
Marbury forced 41 minutes into the game: When Isaiah Thomas ran to pick up Bruce, there was nothing the assistant coach could do to stop his dictatorship.
He seemed to smell the sense of crisis of the arrival of new signings, after all, Eddie Curry had already sung the song Long Live the Little Fox in the locker room... The little shark has never forgotten Li Zhen's life-saving grace on the court. He is the player in all of New York who wants Bruce to come to Madison Garden.
19 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 6 turnovers on 7-of-29 shooting.
That's Marbury's answer in this game.
He didn't live up to his title of cancer at all, the fans were disheartened by him, and even after the game, some people were reluctant to leave for a long time, chanting there: We-Need-Bruce!!
We need Bruce Lee!
There is no doubt that Marbury used his actions to make the best assist of his life, and he succeeded in sparking the fans' hopes for Lee Jin.
He originally wanted to prove his strength through this match, but found that he had completely broken with the rest of the team and his trust was gone. Although he was generous, he often bought cars for rookie players or gave away hundreds of pairs of jeans.
But it is undeniable that when he controls the basketball, the survival space of other players is greatly reduced.
"You need Bruce Lee."
After the game, Jason Kidd faced an interview with the New York media and said bluntly.
This sentence was put on the sports page of the New York Times on the sports page the next day.
Interestingly, the headlines of the entertainment version are similar.
After the media photographed Elizabeth Olsen, the youngest sister of the Olsen family and the tallest, appearing at the airport to pick up the plane. Anne Hathaway also stressed in an interview as a Knicks fan: "We need Bruce Lee. ”
And then there's the excited Paris Hilton, a famous socialite in New York who can't wait to tell the world: the old lady needs Bruce Lee.
She had handed Li Zhen a note on the sidelines of the court a long time ago, and was even exposed to the news of clubbing after the game. But since then there has been no follow-up, which is not... Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Li Zhen actually joined the Knicks.
What a huge impact this had on Hillary Duff, who was filming in Los Angeles.
All right.
Even if Bruce hasn't officially worn the Knicks' jersey yet, and the multiple scandals about him are already in full swing, the New York media has finally found their talking point maker.
"He's a born star, see? There are now more than 180,000 guesses about what number of jerseys he will wear next. ”
Isaiah Thomas triumphantly told James Dolan and Donnie Walsh: "Trust me, his jerseys are going to sell like crazy." We're going to make a huge profit this year. ”
Forehead....
James Dolan raised his eyebrows helplessly, what he thought to himself was: What year did we not make a profit? Even if we have a bad record and pay a high luxury tax every year, we are still the most profitable team in the league, can we stand it?
"Let's talk about the next court session. Marbury will be present as a witness, can you handle him? James Dolan started talking about business again.
Recently, the court will hold a new round of hearings on Isaiah Thomas's molestation of a black aunt, and Marbury has been called as a witness.
"Is he going to betray me?" Thomas didn't care.
At this time, he received a text message from Li Zhen, who finally confirmed his jersey number.
Although New York legend Fraser agreed to give up his No. 10 jersey, due to regulations, Lee Zhen has not been able to wear it at least this season.
So, Li Zhen retreated and informed Thomas of his new choice: "I choose the eight. ”
And also explained in detail to bring new colleagues closer together: "The reason I chose No. 10 is because in Chinese it stands for perfection and perfection. Since No. 10 has retired, and there are inevitably shortcomings in life, then I choose No. 8, which means getting rich! ”
Yes, if you can't be perfect, then get promoted and get rich.
This is the most simple aspiration of the vast number of working people in China.
Thomas was so moved that he texted back: "Are you in Elizabeth's arms now?" Tomorrow you have to train, you save energy. ”
Forehead....
At this moment, Li Zhen finally realized: the times are different.
In Los Angeles, the Zen master will never say this kind of meat joke, he will only tell you in a serious way to have peace of mind and practice Zen and enlightenment, as if you have just graduated from Shaolin Temple after three years of cultivation. And Isaiah Thomas's style of coaching... Could it be that Marbury got into a fight because he grabbed a woman from him?
He turned his head sideways, looked at Elizabeth, and said seriously, "My coach told me to take it easy." ”
No!!
Elizabeth is resolute, she represents the glory of the Olsen family, face the wind!
She pounced.
Go on!
……
Li Zhen finally realized that his physical fitness was abnormal, and he found that he was not affected by anything, and he was still walking like a fly and full of energy. Faintly, I still feel that I am more fierce, although the value has not loosened, but the blood is called a vigorous ah!
Sure enough, the power of love is great.
By the time he showed up at the Knicks training gym, New York reporters couldn't contain their excitement as they galloped to their topic traffic ATMs like wild horses.
Although Bruce is the one who has seen a big scene in the largest city on the West Coast, he is still a bit empty in the face of the battle on the East Coast.
Fortunately, the Knicks' security guards were well-informed, and they quickly rushed up and pulled the reporters away.
They're very experienced with this kind of thing, because whenever something happens to the team, there are always crazy reporters running over and besieging them. They've all taken several courses on crisis management.
The Knicks, the cancer family, the security guard, take it to death.
Li Zhen entered the stadium under the protection of An, and then conducted a routine physical examination, and after confirming that there were no injuries, he kept preparing for the on-site press conference.
Make the row very grand.
On the one hand, it is to express the importance of Li Zhen.
On the other hand, there is money.
