For New York fans.

The night of the championship was a misty rainy night.

The joy of defending the title cannot dilute the sorrow of the departed.

The moment Bruce Lee turned and walked into the players' tunnel, many people had tears in their eyes, and some people let out tearing cries.

Everybody knows that.

Bruce Lee won't be coming back!

Madison Garden Arena loses their king.

On this night, Zach Randolph publicly declared in the media that he would not renew his contract and that he was seeking a deal.

That night, Marc Gasol said he had lost his reason to stay in the city and fight.

That night, Francisco thought his Knicks journey should be over.

That night, Matt Barnes said he would follow in Bruce's footsteps and that I was completely free.

On this night, the formidable New York Knicks collapsed on the eve of the start of the dynasty.

Jerry West and Phil Jackson, including the New York executives, endured the city's insults on this night, and the basketball world laughed at them.

And the momentum shown by the New York players is the reckless righteousness of this commercial league that has disappeared!

In three and a half years, Li Zhen ended in the most brilliant and tragic way.

From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby.

……

The next day's newspapers were full of reports of the collapse of the New York dynasty, and the whole city was devastated by the championship.

Many New York consortia have even said they want to buy the Knicks, with the aim of keeping Bruce Lee and his brothers in New York.

The New York dynasty cannot be interrupted!

But, it's too late!

The rest of the league has been sending emails, phone calls, and text messages to Jack Lee, and they're reaching him in every way they can.

No one doesn't want to get Bruce Lee.

Although it is widely recognized in basketball circles, LeBron James's individual strength is stronger than Li Zhen.

However, if Bruce Lee and James were in low-hanging fruition at the same time, more than eighty percent of general managers would choose Lee: the past record has long proven that Lee is the winner.

Jack Lee did not reply to any messages, and he announced that Lee would return to his family. The injuries he suffered in New York made it very likely that he would not pursue a career in basketball.

These words once again pushed the New York management to the forefront.

The reputation that Jerry West and Phil Jackson had accumulated for half a lifetime was all exchanged for insults and attacks in just two days.

"Push Bruce Lee away and tear up the New York dynasty. This is the rope that hangs them from the pillar of shame, and they will never want to break free from it in their lives! ”

The New York Times unceremoniously gave the most brutal assessment.

In fact, the fans of other teams, the general managers and owners of other teams are cursing these two as enemies.

Overnight, they became Qin Hui in the NBA.

Everyone knows what Lee Jin means to basketball, he is Michael Jordan's appointed successor, and is already on his way to dominating the league. Outcome... These two self-righteous kings and turtle grandsons actually forced him out of the alliance.

How much attention the alliance has lost as a result, and how much money has it lost!

West and Jackson never dreamed that they would become infamous for it.

At the same time, they received a stern warning from James Dolan.

After James Dolan arrived in New York, he immediately asked Li Zhen to meet.

But Li Zhen didn't agree, just chatted on the phone.

James Dolan made a huge concession, and he even said that he could sell 10 percent of the shares to the Lee family.

Too late.

Li Zhen refused.

The New York Knicks have a much higher market capitalization than the Los Angeles Clippers, with ten percent of the shares worth more than twenty-five percent of the Clippers.

However, he said it too late.

Li Zhen's heart was already broken.

It's no use crying over spilt milk..

I can only say: cherish!!

James Dolan hung up the phone very helplessly, and he continued to call Isaiah Thomas. He hoped that Isaiah Thomas would help persuade him, but his black-faced confidante also said that he couldn't help: It's too late!

Their rhetoric is the same.

"I thought you were going to call me when the team traded Eddie Griffin. But you don't. ”

Isaiah Thomas said on the other end of the phone: "You used to be obedient to me. You shouldn't give up on yourself and let a woman run the team, which could cost you more than a billion dollars. ”

James Dolan's parent company plunged in the Dow Jones.

But this may be just the beginning.

"What you're going to do now is not begging me to turn back, but to keep Jerry West and Phil Jackson in charge. They are all capable careerists, and they are all infamous for making unexpected moves. Perhaps, it can be restored. If you fire them, the anger of the fans will come straight at you. Let them be shields, let them do things. ”

Isaiah finally gave his former confidante an idea.

This was his last tenderness.

James Dolan followed his advice.

So far, it is difficult to recover from the water. Only those two careerists can bear the infamy and carry out the operation.

……

Lee Zhen missed the Knicks' championship float parade, and Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol were both absent.

This made the Knicks' championship the most deserted scene ever.

There was not even any laughter to be seen.

Most Knicks players are planning their new journey.

At the same time, Phil Jackson and Jerry West are also starting their new jobs amid a lot of scolding, and they are both holding their breath to prove themselves.

proves that without Li Zhen, the dynasty can still be started.

The first big battle they made was ...... Chris Bosh.

Bosh fell out with the Raptors back in 2009, and actually went back in time to when they were swept in the first round by the Knicks in 2007.

Bosh is tired of the Toronto weather, and the boredom of being away from home.

He can't wait to get back to the United States.

Originally, the Miami Heat were also chasing him frantically, and Pat Riley even went to Toronto in person.

However, the fame of God Operator is obviously not as loud as Phil Jackson and Jerry West, and the connections of these two in the NBA are too amazing.

Chris Bosh was quickly convinced.

And, he started putting pressure on the team.

He wants to reach a sign-and-trade deal with the Raptors. It's not for the sake of the old club, but for the sake of yourself. Because if it is signed first and then exchanged, he can get a contract extension of up to 6 years and 125 million US dollars.

If you sign with the Knicks directly as a free agent, you can only get a maximum of $96 million for five years.

The Raptors don't really want to be Chris Bosh.

The two sides are arguing.

Interestingly, the Knicks are very supportive of whether Bosh is a sign-and-trade or a direct sign.

Because, Zach Randolph has already indicated that he is leaving.

With Randolph's friendship with Li Zhen, forcibly keeping him behind will lead to strife in the locker room.

After all, before he came to New York, he was known for his prickly head.

In addition to eye-to-eyeing with Chris Bosh and getting his initial intention to join. Phil Jackson and Jerry West have not been disconnected from LeBron James.

They are very hot.

But James is clearly a master of playing with people's hearts.

He waited for the price to sell.

Not as loose-mouthed as Bosh did.

He kept asking New York: "In addition to getting Bosh, you're going to have to bring in an All-Star." At the same time, I have to leave one of Gallinari or Francisco, and I can't do it without a shooter. Dragic has to stay, too, he's a good point guard. ”

"It's better for Marc Gasol to stay, we can't do without players who grab rebounds. But if he insists on leaving Bruce, trade for a full-size center who can grab rebounds. ”

James's request, Phil Jackson and Jerry West agreed.

But when Jerry West asked him if he would like to make a verbal statement, he backed off and said that he would make a decision to go live on TV.

That's in keeping with his identity.

Forehead....

The two veterans were toyed with by James and applauded.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Anyway, he is also playing hot with the Nets, Heat, and Bulls, and these three teams have their own merits.

At this time, Jerry West suddenly made a surprising decision.

"If we steal Pat Riley's hometown, James will definitely join!!"

Phil Jackson clapped his palms, wonderful!

Truth be told, these two old careerists only see Pat Riley as an opponent. Although they are now ahead of Chris Posh, in case... Pat Riley got Stoudemire and locked up Wade at the same time, and with James' character of seeking stability, it is still possible for him to go to the Heat.

Although, the Bulls are also very competitive.

But James still has a little face, he was just killed by a young man in the playoffs, and he turned around and went to defect, he can't get over his face. Moreover, it is impossible for Nike to allow its own company's top team to play for Adi's top team.

It's a clear sneaker political rule.

So, before the draft, the media captured Dwyane Wade and Jerry West drinking coffee in New York.

Wade actually didn't want to leave the Heat that much, but the bustle of New York was what he longed for.

The most important thing is that New York is a big wrongdoer.

They're rich.

"If you can convince Pat Riley to sign and then trade and guarantee LeBron to join, I'll sign you. I don't want to be saddled with infamy. ”

Wade's bottom line is clear.

But his words immediately made it difficult for the Knicks.

If Chris Bosh completes the sign-and-trade, he will be offered a six-year, $125 million contract. Wade is also a sign-and-trade, and he is also $125 million for 6 years.

What about LeBron James?

He couldn't be less than these two.

As a result, New York's salary space is completely locked up.

It turned out that Isaiah Thomas's carefully crafted health finances went bankrupt in an instant, and it became even more difficult to bring in reinforcements in the future.

And, to the taste of Pat Riley. If you really want to sign first and then exchange, then you can't hollow out the Knicks' current high-quality assets.

The two old foxes are in a predicament.

They can only go and do ideological work for the two players one by one, what to say... Brotherly basketball, winning championships together and so on. It's better not to sign first and then change.

But, Chris Bosh wants money.

Dwyanwade doesn't want to be scolded,

LeBron James also has to take care of his benevolent reputation in front of the people of his hometown.

So......

The two old careerists were full of coptis in front of them.

……

Lee Jin returned to Los Angeles at the end of the season, and he stayed behind closed doors, guarding his two sons every day.

The share swap was completed on Friday after Mr. Lee's arrival in Los Angeles.

Jack Lee bought a 26% stake in Donald Sterling for $170 million.

The contract also clearly stipulates that if Sterling wants to sell his shares in the future, he can only sell them to Jack Lee.

And, interestingly.

Since the Li family father and son only took out $70 million in cash, the remaining $100 million was lent to Jack Lee by Donald Sterling at low interest.

It's like playing out the story of Sterling lending money to Buss to buy the Lakers.

Sterling couldn't help but feel familiar.

With the determination of equity.

The board immediately called a new meeting, and then the team fired Pelinka and Dunleavy Sr., and everything was in vain.

With the draft just around the corner, so does the trade window.

Li Zhen gave instructions very clearly at home.

"It's a draft year. However, we still have to be rookies. ”

"Byron Davis can be traded out for draft picks."

"We're going to pick Paul George with the eighth pick this year."

"If you can get a better pick, you can pick Hayward. The signing rights of the second round can choose this... Whiteside. ”

Li Zhen explained to the team's deputy general manager.

The deputy general manager is strange.

However, the boss's instructions were to completely follow Li Zhen's orders.

Right now... The Clippers have already understood that Lee Jin will join. That also explains why the Clippers are making no move in the draft market and not chasing the big names at all.

It's just that...... Can a few rookies make an immediate difference with existing players alone? I've heard that several teams are preparing to form a Super League.

Deputy General Manager Thomson was puzzled.

At this time, the Clippers were about the same as poor and white.

Their only valuable players are last year's No. 1 pick Blake Griffin, as well as Jordan Jr. and Griffin, who were traded from New York.

Others, like Chris Kaman, have been put on the trading agenda. Byron Davis is already in the process of being traded, and has locked up his next home.

The rest of the players, it doesn't matter if they are all fired. It's all some short-term contracts, with a bunch of cats and dogs.

Salary space for a healthy batch.

Even the poor have to be taxed.

……

Just before the draft convention was approaching, David Stern suddenly announced that he was going to change a rule.

In addition, we will start to hold a meeting of all the bosses before the draft meeting to ask for the opinions of the bosses.

This news left everyone unclear.

But within three hours, a person who did not want to be named revealed. At this meeting, the regulations to be amended are about the right of first refusal after the end of the rookie contract.

David Stern wants to change it to the following: Any player who wins two Finals MVPs or more on his rookie contract will not be restricted from the contract and can jump out of the contract to become a fully restricted player. And to be able to sign a top-notch contract.

As soon as the news came out, the New York management collectively scolded the mother.

Jerry West and Phil Jackson already have a numb scalp, and they also plan to use Li Zhen's priority to get the Big Three contracts.

Unexpectedly, David Stern, the referee, directly stole their back door.

Of course, they protested, and James Dolan took the lead in appealing to the league.

However, he only has one vote!!

The other 29 bosses are not fools.

Doesn't it make it clear that two Finals MVPs are on a rookie contract?

Who wouldn't have this adult beauty?

And, what if Bruce chooses to join his own team?

People still have to have dreams.

Therefore, this clause is directly cleared with a super high support rate of 29:1.

The New York media wailed.

It's over!

Bruce's New York era is completely over!

There will be no more miracles, no more change of mind.

David Stern has acquiesced to the fact that Bruce can join any team at will.

This shows how unpopular New York's previous actions were.
