Isaiah Thomas had already decided.

Never trade Zach Randolph.

He bluntly stated his thoughts at a meeting of the club's top management: "I decided to keep Zachrandorf, who is for and who is against?" ”

The team's president, Donny Walsh, had prepared a 1,000-word speech to explain the significance and wonderful prospects for the Knicks once Stoudemire was brought in.

However, his words have not yet reached his lips.

Dolan, the boss who was sitting in the chairman's seat, looked at Isaiah Thomas with 'admiration': "I listen to you." ”

The boss was poured ** soup, and he said a fart.

What's more, Isaiah Thomas also took out evidence of the tacit cooperation between Bruce Lee and Zach Randolph, coupled with the carefully collected team data, which proves that the current Knicks' efficiency in playing the halfcourt is much higher than that of running and shooting. If you want to build D'Antoni's ideal lineup, at least the team needs to be purged by more than 80%, which is extremely difficult. And even if the exchange is successful, it may not be able to achieve much high, because the Phoenix Suns have already given up running and shooting. Can the Knicks still put together a stronger run-and-gun lineup than they did in '04-07?

Isaiah Thomas speaks with reason and is becoming more and more charismatic.

James Dolan nodded throughout the meeting.

With the issue of not trading Zachrandolph decided, the question of D'Antoni's stay has become the focus of discussions.

Isaiah Thomas wants to fire D'Antoni outright.

However, Donnie Walsh is in the mud. He said that over the years, the Knicks have changed players, from Wilkins, the thousand-win coach to the top coach Larry Brown... drove away so many coaches, but the team is in a mess, if D'Antoni, who has just been in office for less than half a year, is driven away, who will dare to come in the future?

What's more, D'Antoni still took the initiative to run over, didn't you chill his heart by abandoning him like this?

It also chilled the heart of the future head coach.

The team must have the right employment culture, and the head coach cannot be dismissed easily.

In all fairness, Donnie Walsh has a point.

In fact, the NBA is also a place that talks about resources and people, especially the management behind the scenes. Jerry West, for example, has resources that no other general manager can match, he can get first-hand information about many players from the NCAA, and many coaches and general managers are willing to exchange information with him. Another example is Vicky and his Spurs uniform team, which is actually the Whampoa Military Academy of the NBA, where many coaches and general managers go out.

If the Knicks chill D'Antoni's heart in this matter, it will indeed take a lot of effort to hire a big-name head coach in the future, and it is not a matter of money being able to settle it.

And.

'Who is going to be the manager after we sack D'Antoni? Do you want that assistant head coach to be put in the position? I can guarantee that once D'Antoni leaves, the entire team of assistants he brought with him from the Suns will follow suit. Donnie Walsh advised: "We should now communicate and talk to De'Antoni and Zach Randolph to calm down." ”

Walsh is a master of ancestral and dilute mud.

Isaiah Thomas was a bit at a loss.

At this time, James Dolan looked at him with 'adoring' eyes again.

This forced him to straighten his chest and say aloud: "I don't like to procrastinate, manly and neat." If you look ahead, don't be a general manager. ”

"I'm just going to give him a maximum of a week if D'Antoni can't figure it out on his own. Then let me solve the problem of the person who can't solve the problem. ”

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

After saying these righteous words, James Dolan really applauded, he still looked very admired.

This made Donnie Walsh very helpless.

What's going on, why is it the team's turn to talk to the vice president, is I, the president, just an ornament?

Watching James Dolan and Isaiah Thomas both leave, talking and laughing.

Donnie Walsh fell silent.

He had a strange thought in his heart: that is, I am old now, and if I am forty years younger and strong, what is Isaiah Thomas.

Forehead... He must have thought crookedly.

……

The game against the Lakers took place as scheduled in Stamps, and it was Lee's fourth day in Los Angeles and the fourth day that Scarlett Johansson appeared in Stamps.

Sadly, Kevin Durant is gone. He left the City of Angels overnight after scoring 42 points in the game against the Clippers last night, but he was not sad, and even sighed a little: Alas, when I see the goddess in the future, I will call my sister-in-law.

After these four days of intensive coexistence, Xiao Adu has a further understanding of Li Zhen's charm, and he pessimistically realizes that he may not have this ability to let the goddess take the initiative to lick it in his life.

Scarlett Johansson wore a tights and skinny jeans tonight, showing off her round and elastic devilish figure, and her ponytail style was even more eye-catching.

even took Jessica Albarbia, who was wearing a long skirt next to him.

Jessica Alba also gave an interview to the media before entering the arena, and she finally responded to the reason why she wanted to protect Li Zhen after the Auckland pub brawl.

"It's as if a Picasso heirloom is in front of you, and when chaos comes, you protect it with your body. If Picasso is the treasure of all mankind, Bruce Lee is the work of art of all women, and he cannot be damaged in the slightest. I'm sure any woman would do that in that situation, including Scarlett Johansson, who slammed Bruce before. ”

"It's an instinctive, noble motive that comes from the depths of the soul."

Jessica Alba is the former world's first beauty, and it is really surprising to say such a thing: it turns out that the goddess has no bottom line.

This kind of flattery is much more embarrassing than the awkward chatter of straight men.

"However, Bruce also showed a super-male charm, and when Stephen Jackson pounced like a devil, he took the initiative to protect me behind him. You know that feeling? It was as if Eve was being held in Adam's arms for the first time, oh my! It was a sense of security from the Garden of Eden, exciting and caring! ”

Jessica talks about how she felt at the time.

The reporter was dumbfounded...... This can also be done?

Bruce Lee is amazing, isn't it?

Probably except for Scarlett Johansson, who is not interesting to him, the other women will be captured.

The reporters couldn't help but sigh like this.

Honestly, Jessica thought so too, so when she sat next to Scarlett, it didn't take long for her to start chatting mode...... They had met several times before.

But this is the first time Jessica has been so enthusiastic.

Maybe it's because she doesn't see Scarlett as a competitor.

This left Scarlett with a black line.

She had wanted to find out her crush on Bruce.

However, on second thought, it seems more exciting to be so sneaky.

Women.

……

D'Antoni threw Zach Randolph on the daily watch list.

Even against an opponent like the Lakers, he has to prove how strong he is and how fluid his run-and-gun tactics are.

Moreover, he was convinced that Isaiah Marbury would eventually follow his advice.

He even felt he could shake Isaiah Thomas' status at the club. In his heart, Thomas just gained some fame by trading Bruce, his strength is very poor, and compared to himself, he is simply a weak chicken. As long as the boss is not blind, he will definitely choose himself. Perhaps, after this meeting in New York, I can make a generous statement that can move the boss to tears, and then hand over the authority of the general manager to myself.

It's not like the NBA doesn't have a head coach who wears two hats.

However, tonight's game was a struggle.

He sent Lee Zhen, Richardson, Jeffries, David Lee, and Swift to start.

There is no problem with the speed of this lineup.

There are also shooters, mid-range boys, and dunk masters, who don't look much different from the Phoenix Suns.

However, even the genuine Suns can't leapfrog the Lakers, let alone the Knicks, whose playing style is completely inferior to the Suns.

Lee really doesn't have Stephen Nash's long-range shots, although Derrick Fisher can't defend Lee Zhen at all, he is like a scarecrow with muscles outside the three-point line, and sometimes he will slap his palms hard to show his defensive will.

But every time it was a change of direction, he was clean and slippery, and he couldn't see Li Zhen at all.

After Li Zhen went deep into the restricted area, he immediately felt how terrifying the Lakers' three-high lineup was, and it was simply spinning in the muscle jungle.

Fortunately, Li Zhen's talents have improved recently, otherwise this kind of confrontation alone would have made him have no return.

He hit a couple of pull-up throws in quick succession.

But it's a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve the team's encirclement.

Swift's three-high lineup with the Lakers exposed his flaw in not scoring other than the aerial relay. Although David Lee's jumper from the free-throw line was accurate, Pau Gasol could always be his interference.

When Quentin Richardson faced Kobe, he had a headache.

Jeffries is slightly better because Lamar Odom is a bit distracted. But he's not a top-level ball-handling attacker, and if he doesn't get an assist, he's dead.

So, the Knicks deserved not to run and bombard.

After all, the Lakers are probably the team that knows how to keep the Suns at bay the most, and they play the Suns five times a season in the Pacific Division, and they always run into them in the playoffs.

The Knicks' most struggling performance is actually defense.

Swift and David Lee's defensive ability is not good enough, especially David Lee, although he works hard, but it is often his hard work and his positivity that make him lose his position invisibly.

The first quarter was down.

Li Zhen sweated profusely, cutting down 10 points and 3 assists. The team only scored 21 points.

The Lakers relied on their championship-level offensive strength to score 32 points.

"If Zachrandolph is still on the pitch, he can at least hold off Bynum and form a separate point of attack in the box."

The Lakers' commentators couldn't resist making such remarks on Time Warner TV.

But, as we all know... Randolph is unlikely to play again. Lately, rumours about the Randolph deal have flooded the gossip board.

Believe, after this game. Randolph's trade value will get higher and higher...... Because after the Knicks left him, they didn't have the momentum of the previous winning streak at all.

Although it has a relationship with the team that is the best team in the league against the defending champions, but... The gap is too big.

D'Antoni used Eddie Griffin in the second quarter and paired Crawford with him.

As a result, the Knicks' defensive intensity has increased dramatically, and their offensive points have also increased.

However, Crawford is not naturally suited to running and shooting.

When he receives the ball, he doesn't shoot immediately, but looks for his own attacking rhythm.

It's very classical for a shooting guard.

As a result, Lee Jin automatically lowered the tempo, and he no longer carried out the tactics on D'Antoni's tactical board.

On the contrary, it was this slowdown that relieved the Knicks. When playing against the Lakers' rotation lineup, he recovered 5 points.

But with Kobe Bryant returning to the stage, the Lakers replaced the three highs.

Immediately stop cooking.

Although the league is getting more and more tempo-tempo, it has to be admitted that positional offense is still the mainstream of the league and the best way to go further in the playoffs.

That's why a lot of people say, 'Run to win the regular season, defense wins the playoffs.'"

"It's actually pretty obvious."

At half-time, Isaiah Thomas told James Dolan next to him.

James Dolan listened.

……

The game in the second half still didn't change much, even though Li Zhen tried very hard and was very active to lead the offense, he even forced a collision with Bynum in a layup, and threw the basketball into the basket to make it 2+1.

Interestingly, after Li Zhen scored the ball, he didn't fall to the ground.

This surprised Bynum.

He never dreamed that Li Zhen would one day be able to complete two plus one on himself.

"You've made so much progress, do you want to play a violent buckle on my head next time?"

When Li Zhen walked to the free throw line, he complained to Li Zhen angrily.

The relationship between the two was relatively stiff when Li Zhen first entered the Lakers, but after he recognized the reality, it was much better. Before Li Zhen was traded, he even thought about uniting Li Zhen to form a new OK combination to snatch power from Kobe. This shows how naïve he is. Fortunately, he didn't play politics, otherwise he would have to give money to the number of people if he was played to death.

This scene also left a deep impression on Phil Jackson's heart.

He saw how terrifying Li Zhen's progress was, and at the same time, he also understood... The deal was a loss after all.

Even though the Lakers have won the championship, but... The Knicks may not have a chance to win a championship.

Zen Master is a coach who is very good at capturing championship potential, which is why he has been able to win 10 championships to build three dynasties and is marching towards a fourth.

At this time, he even began to think about a long-term philosophical question.

If the Knicks do show the potential to win a championship with the naked eye, my next stop is to go to New York.

Phil Jackson is now very, very hungry for absolute control of a team, and he wants a dynasty with no distractions and no one to share the credit. In the two dynasties of the Bulls, general manager Klaus always boasted that it was his own credit, and Jordan's agent David Frank also boasted about himself.

To the Lakers, OK Dynasty. There are still many people who think that Jerry West is a great credit, and if it weren't for his overwhelming selection of Kobe Bryant in the draft and the signing of O'Neal from Orlando, where would the magic come from. Even many people say... Phil Jackson just picked peaches, and he always met top players.

Now, even if the Lakers are on the rise and have won a championship. But people will still say that Kupchak completed an epic robbery trade, and without Pau Gasol, the Lakers would still be fine. In addition, some people say that it was because Li Zhen played the Pistons in the East, so the Lakers' sweep championship came so easily.

These remarks made Phil Jackson quite mind.

Of course, the most important reason is ...... The Lakers didn't want to give him anything more. They were only willing to give up tens of millions of annual salaries and Jeanie Buss's body, and they didn't give him management rights at all, let alone shares like magicians.

He felt like an outsider, and the kind of outsider he was a son-in-law.

Therefore, there is a subtle idea in the heart of the Zen master that is taking root, and he wants to run a dynasty alone.

Now, Li Zhen appeared in front of him so strongly, he couldn't help but have an idea.

Soon, though, he shook his head and focused on the game.

Uh..., what's going on?

Bruce actually saved the ball to the bench, hey, who is that? Scarlett Johansson.

Wow!!

By the time Phil Jackson uttered a whoow, Staples was already boiling.

Everyone likes to watch this kind of drama.

The big screen overhead was showing the whole process just now: Eddie Griffin suddenly stole O'Neal on the sideline and slapped the basketball out of bounds, at this time, Li Zhen actually jumped out and fished the basketball out fiercely.

And just as he flew out, Scarlett Johansson in the audience didn't dodge, she actually opened her arms.

So, Li Zhen's entire upper body threw himself into his arms.

Through slow-motion reality, his face and mouth buried deep into Scarlett's plump chest.

This detail immediately made the scene even more agitated, and some men began to howl wolf.

More women are holding their heads and screaming: NO!!

They think Scarlett Johansson has taken advantage of it.

At the same time, Li Zhen had already quickly stood up, and his handsome face was flushed.

Obviously, he also felt that he was hitting the wrong place.

But Scarlett Johansson was very calm, she calmly straightened her neckline, and then sat down.

Forehead....

This action made the scene scream again.

The commentator also questioned on TV: So, is Scarlett's reaction really interesting to Li Zhen, or is it not interesting?

Everyone is puzzled.

And the director has done a quick edit on Time Warner TV, stitching together the picture of Shackle O'Neal rushing to the sideline to save the ball the night before, and all his teammates brushing out of the way with Li Zhen flying out to save the ball and Scarlett opening her arms to greet her.

The contrast is just too strong.

The audience in front of the TV burst into laughter, believing that this will become another wave on the Internet.
