By the time Bruce Lee left Stamp Arena, the Lakers' home court had already begun their grand awards ceremony.

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant holding his hand tightly and having to tell him a long list of words of encouragement, he would have been in the locker room by now.

Probably, this is the case for older men.

Black Mamba praised Li Zhen for his outstanding performance: "...... I am proud of you, you have a bright future, and this is by no means the end for you. Come on, I look forward to seeing you again next year......"

Bryant's chatter even led to applause from the home court. The fans were moved by this sympathy.

Damn it.

However, Li Zhenzai doesn't like this kind of sensational drama.

On the night of his defeat, he refused to accept any setting that would be glorious despite defeat.

He patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder: "Cherish the night that belongs to you, this is the last time you will win the Finals MVP in your career." ”

"Goodbye."

Then, he turned away.

Li Zhen's trash talk made the black mamba stunned for a while. But in the end, a smile appeared: this is Bruce Lee.

There was no media criticism of Li Zhen's performance in this game, and the 41 points in the game had broken his finals scoring record.

Kenny Smith even said emotionally at the end: "No matter what, Bruce has already started the beginning of the legend." Michael Jordan is still playing in North Carolina at the age of 21, and Bruce is already playing against the best basketball players in the world at the top of the world. ”

Charles Barkley then reminded him that the best arena in the world should be the Olympics.

The Dream Ten team formed by the American team can be called a fantastic luxury, and some people even pointed out that the luxury lineup is comparable to the dream team formed by the two MJs back then.

Because, this time, the American team is going to regain lost ground.

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the most powerful faces in the NBA league. They appeared on the same team at the same time, along with Wade, Anthony, Howard...... and other league's top 10 superstars, looking at the world, no one can really compete with it.

……

Isaiah Thomas comforted the players in the locker room with the new president, Mr. Carman.

At the same time, they all said in a very passionate voice: this is a successful season, this is an incredible miracle journey.

Even a month ago, no one would have thought that the Knicks would make it to the Finals.

With what the Knicks have accomplished this season, even the most discerning critic can't describe it as a failure.

And, everyone has to admit that the Knicks have a bright future.

Kenny has already made a big deal of advice on TV: "As long as the Knicks maintain their main roster this offseason and bring in one or two All-Star caliber centers and wings, the chances of them beating the Lakers next year are not low at all." ”

Smith's remarks got a lot of insiders on the go.

When a young team shows what it takes to win a championship, there will be a lot of veterans who are eager to win the championship. What's more, the Knicks are rich and rich, and New York is still the world's largest city.

So, Cleveland will have problems, and the Knicks won't hit any of them. Stars will only flock to the Knicks, after all, no one has ever complained about following Bruce. On the contrary, what everyone saw was a model of the prodigal son's return to the better.

Guys like Zach Randolph, who are already notorious in Portland, can rush into the All-Star, endorse fat shorts on TV, and fight all kinds of female models... Fame and fortune.

This is the best 'admissions' advertisement.

Eddie Griffin's case is seen as a lifesaver by some agents, who really want their thorns to go to the Knicks for a makeover.

Even a guy like Griffin, who is notorious enough to return the league, can play as a quasi-All-Star, and there has never been an off-court scandal again... Better than the efficacy of the Internet Addiction Withdrawal Center.

Who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Isaiah Thomas's assistant has already received a lot of such calls, what Bunch Wells, Wilk Couss, Ron Artest... of the brokerage team are connected.

Even Coleman's agent back then said that he could still save it.

Isn't that?

Knicks general manager has been called the easiest job in the league.

However, Isaiah Thomas had no interest in these olive branches.

His mind is very chaotic now, and in the field of work, he only thinks about how to sell goods.

When it comes to the draft, he is waiting for Li Zhen's inspiration.

Lee Jin left the locker room after completing the final rallying slogan with the players, and before leaving, he told Isaiah Thomas that he would be in touch with Thomas on draft night.

The Smiling Assassin was overjoyed.

……

The Chinese team training center in Las Vegas soon became a hub for North American journalists from major Chinese sports media.

When Li Zhen announced that he would join the national training team immediately after the finals, the focus of Chinese basketball media people fell on this matter.

"This is the most luxurious lineup ever made by the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Shu and Li Zhen, a powerful combination of two NBA superstars. This is the Chinese version of the OK combo ......"

Outside the training team, hundreds of reporters reported on their cameras.

In the training hall, Li Zhen and Yao Shu have started team training.

Since the Stamford Crimson team, Li Zhen has never partnered with a top interior lineman. His teammates in the number 5 position are really weak.

But Yao Shu... He is definitely the number one center forward in the FIBA system.

Moreover, there is no dispute.

His huge body is simply covering the sky with one hand in the forbidden area where there is no three-second limit, not to mention that he also has extremely solid basic skills and extremely delicate shooting touch.

Although it is said that because of the weight gain, his ability to run and jump has decreased.

However, with Li Zhen. Defensive counterattacks are no longer a problem that plagues the Chinese team.

What's more, the Chinese team no longer has to worry about being afraid of the opponent's full-court pressing.

The biggest good news is that Yao Shu can focus on the cultivation of the penalty area, he no longer needs to deliberately run out to cover for the outside players, Li Zhen can launch a breakthrough in any place and solve the problem of ball possession.

Although the FIBA system is not so friendly to breakouts.

As strong as Iverson, his performance at the 2004 Athens Olympics was not so impressive, although he was the leading scorer for the Dream Six. But at the same time, the U.S. team only finished third that year.

It is worth mentioning that Iverson's agent has recently opened fire on the Dream Team preparation team. He felt that Iverson had been humiliated, and Iverson decided to put on his shirt and go to Athens in 2004 when everyone was reluctant to participate in the Olympics. But this year, Iverson took the initiative to apply in April, and has not received a response so far.

However, the truth is often so cruel. Iverson's diminutive stature has been particularly inadequate in the tough face of the Olympics, and his athleticism has fallen far short of his peak. In the pursuit of extreme victory, it is difficult for the U.S. team to open the door to Iverson again, no matter how brilliant and sincere he has been in the past.

Younas's only concern was completely dispelled after Li Zhen completed his first half-time drill.

The European Caesar, who has maintained a sour and scornful attitude towards the NBA throughout his career, has produced unparalleled recognition for Lee Jin. He even felt that Li Zhen had the soul of a European genius in his head, he was so smart, selfless, and good at teamwork. It's not at all the barbaric set of personal heroism of the American team.

Li Zhen only took half a tactical class to become the only tactical core of the national team.

When Younas announced this, Yao Shu had no objection.

The rest of the players were all convinced.

Because Li Zhen not only makes Yao Shu more comfortable and comfortable, but other players also benefit a lot: when your team has a perfect commander and an ultimate scoring killer with absolute domain, you will easily get the opportunity to shoot easily.

The atmosphere of the entire national team has also been improved.

And two days later, in the warm-up match against Angola, he made a big splash.

Li Zhen, who was frustrated in the finals, was so successful in FIBA that everyone was not at all right that he didn't look like he was playing international basketball for the first time, and he was as experienced as a super point guard who had dominated Europe for many years.

Younas has pointed out more than once: "Spanoulis is the best point guard in Europe, but right now, Bruce Lee is the best point guard in the world." ”

Moreover, he also unceremoniously pointed out that Spain's talented point guard Riqui Rubio is not at all comparable to Bruce.

Such saliva from the mouth of the Caesar of Europe is simply incredible.

However, Li Zhen's triple-double of 18 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in the first warm-up game was enough to silence any discerning international basketball expert.

Everyone knows how hard it is to get a triple-double by FIBA standards.

Any stats are much cheaper than the NBA.

You must know that Iverson became the team's leading scorer at the Athens Olympics, averaging only 13.8 points per game.

However, the first warm-up game of the Chinese team played a super score of 117:65.

It can't be helped, it's just going smoothly.

Angola is already one of Africa's powerhouses.

In the past, I often played warm-up matches with the Chinese team, and I won and lost each other, which was a very good sparring partner.

However, now, when the Chinese team gathers Li Zhen and Yao Shu, their strength is very insufficient.

Li Zhen is like a sharp dagger that cuts out the loopholes from Angola's body, Yao Shu is like a world-class thunder hammer, smashing Angola's brain stem in one fell swoop, and other players keep stabbing knives in the loopholes under the command and guidance of Li Zhen.

Angola didn't even hold out until the start of the third quarter.

They want to play only 20 minutes a game...... The money of the Chinese is too hard to earn.

It is worth mentioning that Li Zhen and Yao Shu showed amazing defensive cooperation in this game.

When Yao Shu carried the opponent like a mountain, Li Zhen was extremely agile and sharp into the penalty area, and the backcourt rebound was swept away at that time, and then launched a counterattack like a bamboo... Isaiah Thomas watched dumbfounded in front of the TV.

He knew that Li Zhen had a strong backcourt rebounding ability, but he didn't expect it to be so strong...... His judgment of where the basketball lands and his control over his bounce rate reminded him more than once of his former monster teammate Dennis Rodman.

This gave him a shocking surprise.

He began to think... How to get a big center in the offseason.

At the same time, James Dolan, who was lying next to him, whimsically: "Let's just trade Yao Shu to the Knicks." ”

Thomas rolled his eyes at the time, thinking to himself, do you think money can solve everything, Yao Shu can trade if he wants to? The Houstonians treated him like a baby bump and pointed at him to shake money, and they wouldn't even look at the trading chips unless they exchanged Li Zhen for it.

"You're teaching me to do things?"

The assassin raised an eyebrow.

At that time, the boss was suppressed.

……

The Chinese team played three warm-up games in Las Vegas.

The first match against Angola was a historic crushing victory.

Argentina, which lacked Ginobili and Scola in the second matchup, still won 99:71.

Li Zhen only played 21 minutes.

The third match is against Puerto Rico.

101:70。

Or easy to solve.

The three wild victories have made Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean ecstatic, and they are extremely convinced... The spring of Chinese basketball is coming. Moreover, they believe that the devil grouping in which the Chinese team is located is no longer the devil, because the national team has become the devil image they once hated the most.

Next, it should be Angola, Spain, Germany, and France to be afraid. Because, in addition to the American team, the strongest is the Chinese team, although... The Spaniards, Germans and even the French all thought they should be second in the group of death.

"Maybe we can be more bold and we should go for a medal."

Yao Shu, who is cautious and modest by nature, finally showed a memetic smile after three warm-up games, and he was very happy: "If I can stand on the podium in basketball, it must be the greatest thing of my career." ”

When Yao Shu said such things, the other players were even more confident.

Even many players have the confidence of the French players: the United States is first, I am the second.

But Li Zhen has been staying away from the media recently.

Of course, he also had to stay away from the media.

Any man who is photographed dining in the same restaurant and location with three female celebrities within a week will keep his distance from the media because he has already made all the entertainment headlines.

Even Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Taylor Swift made headlines.

An abrupt name appears in this.

Taylor Swift.

This is the most recent American singer who was born in Tennessee but developed in New York.

So, the entertainment media included her in the East Coast blues girl sequence across the board.

This made Li Zhen feel depressed.

If the first two still make him feel that he 'deserves it'.

Then Taylor Swift is purely wronged to open the door...... The wrongs have arrived at home.

I'm just talking about work.

And what's wrong with the same hotel?

What's wrong with the same table?

Isn't it convenient to figure it?
