"I really didn't save Phil Jackson's life, and I'm sure I'm a man of his right kind with him."

Coming out of the Lakers training gym, Li Zhen repeatedly assured Bill Duffy.

"Actually, I didn't score a single point in the tryout, so I didn't do very well. But what I have to say is that the NBA players are really too strong, and as long as they have an open spot, you pass the basketball and they score. Unlike my college alumni. ”

Isn't this nonsense?

Bill Duffy gave Li Zhen a roll of the eye: "None of the Stamford Crimson team can enter the NBA except for you." And which of the Lakers' players was not the overlord of the sweeping side in college? ”

"Neither Kobe nor Bynum went to college." Li Zhen corrected a common sense to Bill Duffy.

Bill Duffy rolled his eyes helplessly: "Is this important?" The point is on the first half of the sentence... None of your teammates can make it to the NBA! ”

"No, Scott has also announced his participation in the draft." Li Zhen said to Bill Duffy.

"That teammate of yours won't be chosen."

Bill Duffy muttered angrily, then opened the car door for Li Zhen, and Li Zhen stepped up.

When he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, Bill Duffy asked again: "Are you sure you didn't score 1 point?" ”

Now, it was Li Zhen's turn to roll his eyes at him.

About 20 hours later, Bill Duffy got confirmation on Time Warner TV. In an interview, Smash Parker voluntarily revealed that a famous Stanford guard came to the Lakers for a tryout, and he told it as a joke: "That kid got a full stat of 0 points and 2 downs in the trial... This is a testament to the great gap between the NCAA and the NBA. The lads who are delusional about coming to the NBA with NCAA accolades in exchange for a big contract should wake up. ”

Smash Parker's words quickly became controversial.

Because... He's firing too this map. Almost all of the players who have made a name for themselves in the NBA have won honors in the NCAA.

Soon someone fought back against him.

Carmelo Anthony, an All-Star forward from the Colorado Plateau, led Syracuse to an unprecedented miracle, and as one of the greatest freshmen in NCAA history, he won nearly every college honor, including the MOP, of course.

"Basketball is ridiculous if a player with a base salary can judge the NCAA MOP. I don't know what happened to Bruce Lee in the tryout, but the miracle that Bruce Lee did in the NCAA was impossible for Smash Parker to accomplish in his lifetime. ”

Carmelo Anthony is known for his true temperament and outspokenness.

He doesn't know how to play any 'yin and yang weird' hiding head and tail, just call his name.

This makes Smash Parker quite passive, because it is not only Carmelo Anthony who is slamming him, other players such as Chris Paul, Tim Duncan and others also think that Smash Parker's remarks are inappropriate.

If the NBA doesn't bring in NCAA honor-winning players, the NBA will simply shut down.

Although Smash Parker received a lot of attacks because of his remarks.

However, Li Zhen's draft market still fell in response to the heated discussion of public opinion, and it was still on the edge of the lotto, and now it has fallen to about 20th in the first round of the major prediction rankings.

Even, the Los Angeles Clippers called Bill Duffy to cancel a separate tryout for Bruce Lee.

The reason is... We've been preparing for the playoffs lately.

When Bill Duffy heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh.

He had been thinking about refusing the Los Angeles Clippers' tryout for a long time. After all, they have already received Phil Jackson's draft promises, so why go to the Clippers for a tryout?

The home of the Clippers is also Staples Arena, but technically... They're not even a Los Angeles team. Because there aren't many Angelenos supporting them at all, in the minds of Los Angeles basketball fans, the Clippers club is probably ranked in the Lakers, UCLA, USC, WNBA Sparks... Alma Mater High School Varsity Team ...... of the back.

"Phil Jackson should be happy right now."

Bill Duffy told Bruce on a beautiful morning, "Now everybody's starting to wonder if you're not going to make the first-round pick." It's incredible, think about how two weeks ago you were making headlines in all the basketball media! ”

"Oh, no. Now you too. ”

Bill Duffy pulled out the Los Angeles Times and flipped to the entertainment section. "NCAA Super MOP Night Party Double Olson, Bruce Lee Talks and Laughs and Captures Sister Flower." 》

To be honest, this report made Li Zhen feel particularly depressed.

He had seen a more detailed picture in the MTV News report five minutes earlier, and he never dreamed that he would be secretly photographed running to have a cup of coffee with Elizabeth? I'm not Britney Spears with a shaved head, I'm not so dazzling.

But... Reporters in Los Angeles not only secretly filmed the encounter between the two. Subsequently, the whole process of them having dinner together with their sister Mary Olsen was also filmed.

"We're not a legendary couple at all, and we're not going to meet our parents." "I just went to get my camera back, and then I praised the photos she took, and then to thank her, I decided to invite her to dinner, and then I happened to run into her sister there," Li Zhen emphasized. ”

Bruce Lee tried very hard to find someone who accepted the truth.

But.

"Who cares?" Bill Duffy shrugged: "It doesn't matter what you're doing. Do you think those journalists don't know that you don't have any intimacy? But readers don't want to see news about two innocent men and women discussing photographic techniques, they want to hear some lace stories. And it's not bad for you, it's not for Sister Olson. ”

"Your visibility has increased. The Olsen sisters also had no losses. After all, compared with a scandal with a playboy in the entertainment industry, it is more positive for one's image to associate with an excellent five-good teenager with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. ”

Forehead....

Li Zhen is really powerless to complain.

He now realizes that Los Angeles really is a scary place, with paparazzi everywhere.

What made him even more depressed was that the website in which he invested and served as the second largest shareholder actually focused on the news.

And also changed the title in a hurry: Facebook founder dating the Olson sisters ......!

Oh yes!

Li Zhen was depressed at the time, and he hurriedly called Dustin. Dustin, the fourth shareholder and one of the founders, said helplessly: "The website is growing rapidly, and we are about to start a new round of financing recently. We need more news, and we can't hype up the story of Zuckerberg and his girlfriend. You know his image...... For a higher valuation, hard work. ”

Moral kidnapping again.

Forehead... And financing again?

Li Zhen thought about it, in that dream, after the company went public, it was a super giant.

At that time, he said, "I'm going to vote a little more." ”

"We're at a high valuation this time, are you sure you're going to invest? And now if you invest, you can only get Class B equity. And you now have the same non-dilutable A shares as Zuckerberg. In fact, Eduardo was arguing with Zuckerberg over the incident, and he felt that he had been framed. ”

Dustin talked about what's going on inside the company's top management lately. Eduardo, like Li Zhen, is also an angel investor in the website. But the guy obviously doesn't have the shrewd mind of Bruce, who was known for showing off his money when he was in school. And Bruce Lee comes from a shrewd scientist family, and every day his parents quarrel with all kinds of difficult digital models, can he not know the value of equity?

He asked for an undilutable stake at the time of signing the share deed, and for this purpose, he gave all the voting rights to Zuckerberg, and he did not participate in any decision-making.

That's why the clever and cunning Zuckerberg agreed.

And now, as the site goes from strength to strength, a slew of Wall Street firms are waiting for venture capital. Naturally, Eduardo suffered the result of gradual dilution....

Li Zhen has no intention of judging the rights and wrongs of this matter, and in the commercial society, the legal text is the most important guarantee. If you don't do it well beforehand, and then you get diluted, it's no wonder that others. After all, benefits are eternal.

"I can accept Class B equity." Li Zhen said calmly. He believed more and more in that dream scenario, and he was very convinced of what his mother had said: equity was more important than cash.

While Li Zhen was thinking about how to make money, Bill Duffy turned around and told him, "This weekend, let's go to New York." It's a rich place, God knows... Why do the New York Knicks insist on inviting you to try out in this situation, and is Isaiah Thomas going to give you a garbage contract? ”

Forehead....

After saying that, Bill Duffy realized that he had scolded his own players in order to complain about Isaiah Thomas.

Fortunately, Bruce didn't seem to react.

At this point, Bruce's mind was: New York is indeed a good place! Growing up there, it was still the center of the world, and if you go back to Madison to play, you don't have to rent another house. And, the whole community is going to be happy for me, right?
