Li Zhen has been in frequent contact with the third uncle recently.

The third uncle is probably the only person Li Zhen knows, and he has the ability to deal with huge family relationships. His father was a well-known wealthy man in South China before the liberation, and he grew up in a wealthy family and knew some intricate ways to get along with his aunt and wife.

"You don't need to worry, and don't get involved. As a man, you just have to grasp some general directions. If you go to the children every day, you will have endless troubles. ”

"My advice to you is to build a big house, preferably a Chinese-style mansion, referring to the Qiao family compound. Divide the big house into small courtyards... Under the same roof, but not wanting not to interfere. ”

The third uncle is a good teacher who preaches and teaches.

Li Zhen quickly jumped into action, and before the start of the regular season, Li Zhen made a special trip to Los Angeles.

He bought a piece of land of more than 50,000 square meters in the coastal city of Malibu near Los Angeles, and then he quickly reached an agreement with the construction company, and then hired the famous designer Mr. Pei, first to go to China to investigate, and then rush to produce the design plan, and strive to complete the project in three years, which cost more than tens of millions of dollars.

This may be the biggest expense Li Zhen has ever spent in his life.

After all, the Chinese will not be able to escape food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Especially after starting a family, how can you do without a house?

Li Zhen's current situation, how can he not build a super mansion?

In the past, Li Zhen still felt that those NBA stars were wasteful, but now think about it... It's that I'm too naïve.

Thankfully, his financial situation has become very, very healthy. Moreover, he is about to say goodbye to his rookie contract, and he can sign a fixed contract under the NBA, when his annual salary will start at $16 million, which is a good cash income.

The New York Knicks couldn't wait to send an early contract extension application to Li Zhen.

However, since Jack Lee has been busy with other players' affairs, it was not signed.

And... Everyone thinks that this is a sure thing.

Li Zhen didn't have any reason to leave New York.

Even if he bought a super lot of land in Los Angeles and planned to build a luxury Chinese estate, the news was everywhere in the major media outlets.

"Almost all of the superstars have properties in Los Angeles, and that's nothing. And, as far as I know, it's a good investment, Bruce got almost the best plot of land and it will definitely appreciate significantly in the future! ”

Jerry West responded with a smile on his face when the reporter asked this question.

He wasn't worried about what was going to happen.

More of a headache for him than Bruce's purchase of real estate in Los Angeles was the performance of the defending champions in the preseason.

Because Bruce went to Los Angeles, coupled with Phil Jackson's impatient triangular offensive tactics, it led to a strong lack of adaptation.

The original Concord's close-knit lineup was split into several areas.

Marc Gasol even told the media: I don't know how to play at all.

"I'm not Paul, I don't have as many technical skills as him, and I can't run from the back to the front with the ball." Gasol Jr. told reporters in distress: "But Phil has been giving me mental hypnosis, and he thinks I will be better than Paul." ”

Phil Jackson is still very attached to his 'psychotherapy'.

He thinks his own set can still work, just like when he submitted Dennis Rodman and got Shackle and Kobe.

However, there is an essential problem herein.

The Knicks were a championship team before he arrived, and they beat him last season.

What's more, this group of players was carefully brainwashed by Stephen Marbury, and Jackson's mental counseling seemed too pediatric and naïve.

That's why Phil Jackson's call for Knicks players to do their first group meditation was met with a collective protest. Eddie Griffin even bluntly scolded him and had nothing to say: "Meditation can't solve the problem, there is no immortal emperor in this world, only we can save ourselves, we must believe in materialism." We need to face every problem head-on and use collective wisdom to solve it. Instead of looking for something to belong to, our spirits are healthy! ”

Forehead....

The Zen master encountered Waterloo for the first time.

He found that no one bought the chicken soup for the soul he cooked.

The Knicks, on their side, are a group of realists, and they're spirited and in a league of their own.

It's very different from the other teams he's been to.

These people are smart, cunning, and there are few things that can tempt them.

In the locker room, they talk about the international situation, the price of crude oil, and the NASDAQ index.

Although there will be some comments on Miss Universe interspersed in the middle, as well as the positive distribution of women's hair degree and luck index.

However, everyone on the Zen Master team understood: these guys were very different from any team before them.

They don't even look like blacks anymore, how can blacks be so sober.

When Eddie Griffin was able to discuss the differences between Eastern and Western social systems while playing the saxophone, and when Zach Randolph talked about the difference between belief in truth and historical nothingness instead of jumping skills...... Phil Jackson clearly felt that he was not a scholar.

Jackson's challenge, meanwhile, comes from the court.

The Knicks are strong, with a lineup and talent that are at the forefront of the league.

However, this is not a traditional powerhouse.

At the 23 position, they don't even have a player who can carry the ball alone, with Matt Barnes, Francisco Garcia, Gallinari and even Jeffries all being authentic goalscorers or defenders.

This is a world away from the triangular offense advocated by Phil Jackson.

In the box, Zach Randolph has the ability to play alone, but he doesn't stick to the ball now, and he prefers to solve problems with efficient attacks...... Last season, he quit even brushing the habit of rebounding in the frontcourt.

Efficient collaboration is the Knicks' key to maintaining a winning rate.

The core of the tactics is Li Zhen alone, and he starts the offensive, and the other players combine to form a firepower network that crowns the league.

So, when Phil Jackson forced a triangle offense in the preseason, and Lee Jin was not there.

Lost all 7 games.

And all of them were lost by more than double digits.

Every game was pressed and beaten by the opponent, and the Knicks had no way to fight back.

This made the media dumbfounded, and everyone couldn't believe it.

All of a sudden, doubts arose.

"In a way, chemistry is more important than tactics."

When Li Zhen returned to the team, he answered this when answering reporters' questions.

That's the voice at the Knicks' regular press conference on October 13, 2009.

This has made many media interpret the meaning intriguing.

Some media began to hype up the Knicks' discord with the coach, as well as the use of the topic to play, rumors that the triangle offense was not suitable for the Knicks, and even concocted the news that many Knicks players were dissatisfied with the new coaching team.

The news was even more pervasive after the opener loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

At the same time, Jemilin terminated his contract with the team, giving up more than $2 million a year and moving to Pittsburgh, where he will get a job as a head coach, albeit at half the salary of the Knicks. Zero Zero Book House

It was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Li Zhen still kept him the night before he left.

But Jamilin said: "I feel like I can't learn anything new from the team. Although this decision will cost me my immediate benefits, I believe that my talent will become more valuable after full training. And, I think... We will definitely meet again in the future. When the time comes, I will be the sole manager. ”

Although Jamilin showed a gesture of a peaceful breakup, he was generous in media interviews and gave the Jackson team face.

But leaving is itself a silent protest.

Although Jamilin enjoys the team's high salary, his position in the locker room is becoming more and more marginal, and he can't even decide on a small block on his own.

Then, it is also a natural thing to leave.

Eddie Griffin, who went to Jery West's office after Jamilin left, reminded the president that the Knicks' previous system should not be completely repudiated.

Jerry West gave him a warm reception, but there was no follow-up.

However, in the following November, Phil Jackson made some changes, and he tried to let Li Zhen play freely.

The results improved quickly.

Li Zhen certainly doesn't quite adapt to the triangle offensive system, although he can, and can be described as proficient.

However, his scoring skills and shooting percentage are still inferior to Kobe Bryant and Jordan, who can leave their names in history.

His score can only be said to be adequate, or slightly richer than enough.

Let him pull away from the singles like Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and form a tactical advantage.

Isn't that?

Li Zhen's biggest strength lies in his co-ordination ability and his breakthrough ball.

But the triangle offense is too undemanding for a point guard...... This is a system of dividing the regions and then playing their own singles.

It wasn't created for the pursuit of a '1-on-0' offensive state, it was designed to be the best '1-on-1' mode to make it easy for attackers to get out of the pinch.

After a sluggish month in October, the Knicks made a big stride, gradually stabilizing the top four positions in the East.

However, for the Knicks' regular season results, other teams in the East have long since lost the slightest sense of superiority.

Especially the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have suffered so much, their media dare not tease.

The Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic are even more honest.

Atlanta, on the other hand, is deeply immersed in the deep resentment of being cheated by Swift.

After the start of the season, Atlanta fans were horrified to see a big-shouldered and round-waisted Swift. The turtle who has just signed a long-term contract with an annual salary of 10 million has a showdown...... He felt that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

So, unable to keep his mouth shut, he swelled into another rain man, Kemp.

Although he was still able to jump and jump, his reaction was finally half a beat slower, and his performance on the court immediately deteriorated.

The whole city began to sigh: Evil! Why did we give him such a long contract in the first place, or full protection, and why??

Swift was calm.

This summer, he learned from Jack Lee a wise quote that made him feel very calm: "As much as you have been blessed, you have to bear as much slander as you have."

So, all I earn is scolded money.

When Swift figured it out, he was at ease.

…

Jack Lee made a name for himself because of the signing.

The worse Swift was scolded, the more Jack Lee's ability was recognized: Agents who can get basketball clubs to sign unequal treaties are good agents.

Atlanta's general manager has resigned because of the signing.

He simply hated Jack Lee.

But in Chicago, it's a very different story.

Derrick Rose broke out in full force this season, and after introducing Thibodeau as the head coach, the Bulls quietly completed the upgrade, attacking the city with the inside and outside dual-core play style composed of Derrick Rose and Joaquin Noah, and now it has rushed to the second place in the East.

This new force is very ferocious, and before the halfway point of the season, it has already beaten the Cavaliers led by LeBron James at home and away.

Adidas took advantage of the trend to make a publicity, saying that the new king of the East is already single, and the future East Coast will be the isolation of Rose and Li Zhen, the two super guards.

James was so angry.

He was disappointed in Cleveland, watching the young people behind him surpass him one by one, and the aura of glory of his chosen son was gradually decreasing.

He couldn't stand it happening one after another.

At the end of November, there were even important people who did not want to be named to reveal that LeBron James was seeking to be traded.

All of a sudden, the alliance shook.

LeBron James is still the undisputed number one strength in the league today, and although he often loses against Li Zhen and Rose, no team will refuse his arrival.

Including the New York Knicks.

Jerry West even publicly stated that if LeBron is willing to come, it will certainly be the best thing.

But after he said it at the end of November, he never mentioned it in public.

Because, he was under great pressure from the inside.

How could the Knicks' locker room possibly accommodate James?

James is here, where should Bruce Lee be?

Although the whole world knows that James came to New York and joined hands with Li Zhen, the Knicks could create a world of foundations.

But at the same time, all New York fans know. There's no way Bruce can be with James.

So, no matter how tempting James is. Moreover, his team even took the initiative to throw an olive branch: for example, to set up a new company in New York.

However, no one in the entire New York media has shown any sign of acceptance.

Then, with James' righteous declaration in December that he would not leave his hometown, it was dismissed as a farce.

When the time enters December.

Anne Hathaway's stomach couldn't be hidden.

When she attended the film promotion in November, she was already suspected of being pregnant with loose flats and loose clothing.

And when her December medical report was released by unscrupulous media, it immediately caused an uproar.

The American entertainment industry immediately set off a frenzy of public opinion of 'finding where is Dad'.
