Jerebus received Li Zhen very ceremoniously.

Although he looked very weak and in extremely poor physical condition, when Li Zhen walked into his office, he walked over quickly and gave the rising star a big hug.

He exerted himself very hard, which was an outward manifestation of his inner heat.

"Bruce, you gave me a huge surprise. When I chose you this summer, I had some doubts. But now... You've left me in a state of surprise. That's why I can't wait to meet you. ”

Jerebus showed his affection as soon as he came up.

He is indeed a very charismatic boss who brings a feeling of spring breeze.

The conversation between the two did not start with basketball, but with the Internet. The veteran businessman turned out to have some knowledge of the Internet, and then he also said that he also owned some Apple stock. It's just not as much as Li Zhen. Then he talked about the story of how he once went to Stanford University to donate.

The relationship between each other is closer at a speed visible to the naked eye in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Then, in the midst of the laughter, the elder Bass suddenly threw out a question: "In the team management, are you closer to Jim, or Jenny?" ”

"I sometimes talk to Jenny about basketball, but I don't have that with Jim." Li Zhen replied very objectively.

Old Bass bowed slightly.

Then, he asked, "How many years do you think our current squad will be able to challenge for a championship?" ”

Li Zhen thought about this question very seriously, and the answer in his heart was...... If I can play a few more times against a team like Spurs, maybe there will be hope for those two seasons.

But he was still very conservative and replied very decisively: "In five years, we will definitely get a championship ring!" ”

Old Bas smiled when he heard this.

He didn't notice Li Zhen's affirmative sentences, or rather, he was tired of listening to other people's conclusive affirmative sentences, so he was numb. The heaviest word that fell into his eardrum was 'five years'.

Five years!!

Old Bass raised his head slightly, it was really a long time. He was even worried about whether his current physical condition would make it to that point.

This is the gap between the speech of Easterners and Westerners.

Westerners are very self-confident and they often say things that are 'arrogant'. Orientals, on the other hand, are usually conservative and are able to accomplish their goals in three years, and they will leave plenty of buffer time, which translates into five years.

"I heard you're in for this year's American Music Awards, and this year's ceremony is at Staples Arena, what will you perform?" Old Bass naturally changed the subject.

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "I haven't discussed it with the Olsen sisters yet, they are responsible for taking care of my affairs in the entertainment industry." My attention was all on the pitch. ”

"Sister Olsen, very nice girls. So, you guy, who's your girlfriend? I'm really tired of journalists calling me for verification. ”

"Hahahaha, next time you can transfer the call directly to me. That's right. Sizz, what's your cell phone number? ”

Li Zhen naturally shifted the topic, they are all masters of tai chi.

It was a lot of fun to chat.

It's just that when Li Zhen left, he couldn't remember what the point of this chat was. It's like a tea party between the boss and the employee?

Lee shrugged his shoulders and decided to call Ashley Olsen and ask her about the American Music Awards.

Ashley received the call and said complainingly: Hey. You kid, do you still know how to call me? I thought you had been kidnapped by Hillary Duff or Lindsay Lohan to some uninhabited island and ravaged until you died.

Subsequently, Ashley begins to care about the injuries left by Lee Jin on Christmas Eve.

and told him to pay attention to recuperation, and then began to talk about the American Music Awards.

Ashley is optimistic about the ceremony, believing that Lee will be the biggest winner, as no other inductee can match him, at least in the Ashley sisters' minds.

……

On the night of the phone call between Li Zhen and Ashley, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a crushing defeat in Orlando. Although in this game, Kobe Bryant stormed into the box and dunked over Dwight Howard's head was the top five of the night's top five goals. But the score of 125:101 cruelly highlights the Lakers' dilemma in this game.

After losing Li Zhen. The Lakers' second lineup of chasing points was scrapped directly. Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin and Vujacic were the three goalscorers who were directly slagmed, and Kwame Brown even played the butter hands.

What makes Los Angeles fans even more frustrated is that Eddie Griffin, the thorn who has been cultivating himself this season, has been revealed. In his post-game interview, he faced a reporter in Orlando who directly refused to buy Kobe Bryant's account: "I can't play this kind of ball. I was heavily squeezed on the defensive end. I'm always on the offensive end with the ball in the last few seconds, how do I make sure I'm shooting? ”

He was 1-of-8 shooting in the game, and he was angry.

And according to irresponsible grapevine, in the Lakers locker room, Eddie Griffin even publicly choked Kobe Bryant, saying that he would not pass the ball at all.

What's even more terrifying is that Eddie Griffin isn't fighting alone.

With the added fuel and vinegar of those reporters who are good at dancing and writing, it turned into a locker room coup.

And Li Zhen, who was recuperating from his injuries in Los Angeles, was actually considered by them to be a mirror collector, and it was he who remotely commanded the second team to publicly overhead Kobe Bryant.

When Li Zhen saw these reports, his already concussive head was directly stunned: Why am I sitting at home, and the pot is coming from the sky?

Even more bizarre news came the next day, when the Miami Herald unexpectedly exposed the Heat's medium-term recruitment plan: Pat Riley actually planned to trade Shackel O'Neal for Kwame Brown, Eddie Griffin, Rademanovic and Bruce Lee.

It sounds like an April Fool's Day spoof news.

How is it possible to engage in such a transaction?

Unless both the Lakers and the Heat are crazy.

Even the Sharks couldn't help but jump out laughing: "This is the most ridiculous trade rumor I've ever heard, and I'd rather believe that the team traded me to New York for Eddie Curry than believe this ridiculous rumor." ”

However, when the news broke that the Lakers were suspended for the Boston Celtics and Eddie Griffin and Radmanovic at the same time, rumors of a trade became more and more popular, and the rumors of a feud between the Purple and Gold became even more popular.

Some teams that coveted Lee genuinely began to test the Lakers.

It seems that a storm is coming!!
