"Miraculous Reproduction, Bruce Lee Brings the Gospel of Christmas!" 》
"The strongest Lakers rookie since the new century, he is already the future of the Purple and Gold!" 》
"Efficiency far surpasses rookie Kidd, who would dare to say that Bruce is not the best rookie? 》
"10 points and 8 assists in 13 minutes on the court, see the lore again!" 》
"The heroic Lakers prince destroys the dream of the defending champion, and Shackle O'Neal's wild words are reduced to waste paper!" 》
《……》
Jerebus sat in his office, with a stack of state-regional newspapers in front of him. Including the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Chronicle, the California Observatory... and a series of authoritative media. The media, without exception, were all singing the praises of their dear little fox's miraculous victory on the South Coast.
The Los Angeles media's affection for Li Zhen reached such an unparalleled level that they even grabbed the title 'crown prince' from Chinese, meaning that Li Zhen had obtained the status of the rightful heir to the throne.
Such arguments are now commonplace in Los Angeles, and Andrew Bynum is no longer seen as a direct competitor to Mr. Lee. Even radical Lakers fans will laugh at Clippers fans for using Sean Livingston to suppress Bruce Lee's remarks.
And that's why California's regional KTLA TV, which has always been known for being conservative, is slamming Clippers forward Kerry Maggetty at this time.
“… Bruce is a mirror that reflects the ugly faces of an arrogant NBA player. All those who came forward to attack Bruce at this time were based on envy and jealousy, and Bruce Lee's appeal among women made them ashamed of themselves.......
"They don't think Bruce has been like them, where he was a kid to dominate the side, or who has a street background, who came out of the slums. They can't stand the worldly success of a player who is very different from them. That's discrimination, that's arrogance. ”
"Bruce Lee has exposed their hypocrisy, and it is impossible for them to accept that a yellow-skinned player from a wealthy background, with excellent knowledge, talent, and even a very handsome appearance, will earn much more money and attention than they do. Because they believe that they are the source of basketball, and they have the final interpretation of basketball......"
LATV is firing on all cylinders.
It's hard to imagine that the anchor who pronounced this sentence was actually a white man.
Jerebas, in front of the TV, raised an eyebrow.
Bruce Lee's commercial worth doesn't need to be proven, and although he turned down a lot of advertising, the popularity of sneakers skyrocketed his brand value again. On top of that, he tackled something that all basketball players, including Jordan, didn't: make girls consumers of sneakers.
In fact, the proportion of female spectators at Staples Arena has been increasing recently, and it is still some school girls or young women who have just entered society.
These girls used to be only fascinated by young boy idols or guitarists of a budding boy band.
However, Li Zhen brought them into the court and made them pay a very high price for sneakers.
So, Bruce is really a very promising athlete.
Moreover, his game is also improving rapidly, and most Lakers fans, including Jerry Buss, are optimistic about his future.
However, there are also many people who say that he can't cross the two major hurdles of 'shooting' and 'physical confrontation', and it is very likely that he is at the peak of his rookie and has spent his entire career hovering on the edge of elite players.
That's what worries Jerichbus, who has been at the helm of the Lakers for almost half a century, knows how fatal these two shortcomings can be. He's seen too many players who can't go to the next level because of their physical gifts, and too many players who have never been able to solve shooting problems for life.
But the thing that relieved Jerebus was... Bruce is very hardworking, and his diligence even surpasses that of Kobe Bryant. He's been training his shots every day lately, just... The way he practiced was a bit strange, he practiced his pull-and-go jumpers when he was rushing with the ball.
This kind of shooting practice that requires the ball worries the coaching staff, including Jerry Bas, because the team already has a shooting guard who is the best at shooting with the ball in the league.
In fact, the issue of Kobe's compatibility with Bruce has also been a point of contention in recent high-level meetings.
While Jeanie Bass is adamant that Phil Jackson can solve this problem, Jim Bass and Kupchak are unequivocal that the problem will never be alleviated anytime soon, and that Bryant has never been a man to share the ball. As Bruce continues to improve, they're sure to fall out.
They also said: We don't want to spend five years or more rebuilding. We, the Los Angeles Lakers, must always remain competitive for the championship.
Jeanie Bass denounced Kupchak's idea as dangerous and stupid. Didn't you see the immediate change that Bruce brings? We're in the top four teams in the West, and this is Bruce's first season. Are you still planning to give Bruce away?
When Jeanie Bass asked the rhetorical question, the room fell silent.
Both shareholders and executives felt that Jeanie Buss was absolutely right, so how could they think of trading Bruce?
The improvement he has brought to the team's record is really good. Moreover, he also brought attention from across the ocean: although the Lakers have never lacked exposure, who would refuse more influence? Although Chinese companies have not yet been able to come up with enough money to advertise in Stamps. But who can guarantee that in the future they won't. They are the fastest growing economy in the world, and the Olympics are less than two years away.
From Stern's knocking on CCTV's door with a videotape, to Yao Shu's joining the NBA, to Bruce's current brilliance, everyone knows that it is about to become the NBA's most promising overseas market.
This is like Bruce Lee's future, although there are many doubts from the top, but they are reluctant to give up on him.
This is also the reason why Jim Buss, as the helmsman of the giant ship of the Lakers, plans to talk to Li Zhen in person.
After Li Zhen practiced 500 shots in the training hall, he tried his best to figure out the scene when his body controlled Jordan's moments, so that his shooting memory was more tangile.
But today's training didn't work very well, because the brain was more disturbed by the concussion.
This made Li Zhen a little puzzled: My brain is shocked like this, and the positive energy can still sleep so peacefully? Vegetative?
