On Saturday, July 8, 2000, something that New York fans loved finally happened!

The New York Times broke the news that Grant Hill was planning to attend Lee's first party after he moved.

"Jordan's successor" Anfernee Hardaway is indeed out of style, but Grant Hill still has a lot of popularity.

Although the Detroit media sometimes complains that Grant Hill's style of play is "too soft", most fans still like Hill's performance on and off the court.

Most fans also paid tribute to Grant Hill, who played with an injury last season, and couldn't ask for too much, and the "Jordan successor" really did his best.

Pistons fans are extremely angry about these news, if you change teams, maybe everyone will not have such a big reaction, but the Knicks can't!

Thinking of the Detroit double stars gathering in New York that year, many local media also complained again:

"Big Ball City is destroying the NBA, and they're taking everything with American knives!"

While there is no truth to these comments, after all, the Pistons can also offer Grant Hill a contract with a maximum salary, the article has struck a chord with a lot of small ball markets.

The 1999~2000 season was hailed as the victory of the "American knife", and the fans of the small ball city could not see hope, and many team owners have reported to the league that the "sprinkling money" behavior of the big ball market should be restricted!

The New York Post's news was inaccurate, and the Saturday night party, which had no sports entertainment stars, was mostly New York and Connecticut business politicians.

Of course, Li You's influence is not so great, but Bloomberg, who plans to run for mayor, began to shake people up after getting the news.

The new house on 82nd Street was of good use this time, and its location close to the Metropolitan Museum was just right, so there was plenty of room for the party, even if there were many people coming.

On the night of the 8th, Li You's new home was brightly lit, and most of the people who came to the party were dressed in formal attire.

At the beginning of the year, Giuliani announced his candidacy for the Senate and also intended to run for governor of New York.

However, at the end of May, the hard-line mayor had no choice but to withdraw from the race, citing health problems.

In mid-June, Giuliani announced that he was separating from his wife and planning to divorce.

It seems to be in a low state of life, but when I attended the party, I couldn't see it at all, and a young and beautiful blonde white girl appeared next to her

The second floor has become more lively after a few days of decoration, the newly purchased grand piano also came in handy, and the melodious music played by the pianist of the party company also made everyone who visited feel comfortable.

Most of the ladies are concentrated in the large south-facing living room, and some stroll upstairs to enjoy the night view.

Most of the men were around Cheney, Lieberman, and Giuliani.

Mr. Bloomberg smiled awkwardly at Mr. Lee, a former minister, a Connecticut senator and the first Jewish candidate for deputy command.

The two are now rivals, and New York is currently the Elephant Party, and Bloomberg intends to break away from the Donkey Party, and the behavior of having a milk is obviously very dissatisfied with some people.

"It's not working time, and I want to thank Lee for at least making people like the Knicks again since he came to New York."

"It's definitely exciting to have multiple teams in one city!"

Giuliani raised his glass in the direction of Li You, signaling that there was no problem, and soon Lieberman also straightened his back and quipped:

"I agree with the fact that I used to focus only on the Yankees, after all, we all like winners."

"It's great to see Lee continue his education in Connecticut, law school is a great choice!"

Because of his height, Li You could only smile and raise his glass in the rear, he always felt that this old guy was mocking Cheney's origin on the other side.

One is from Yale Law School, and the other left Yale because of grades

Cheney didn't care about the other party's hidden taunts, but said seriously:

"I love to win too! Lee is a smart lad, maybe we will have a chance to work together in the future! ”

Seeing the former minister raise a glass, everyone followed for another drink.

The bigwigs no longer fought-for-tat, and soon everyone talked about the national convention at the end of July, and many people began to make a short time.

Bloomberg let out a sigh of relief, and Li You, who was dressed in a decent black suit, could tell that the other party was startled by Lieberman's appearance.

"Lee, next year, remember to attend my election campaign, and I plan to put a lot of Internet ads at that time!"

"The old-school way of campaigning is outdated, and young people prefer opinion leaders."

The billionaire chose to burn money to canvass votes, and Li You was not surprised by this:

"No problem, just raise your hands, wait a moment for me, I still need to talk to our mayor for a while!"

After whispering a "wait a minute", Li You beckoned to Jin in a dark blue suit on the other side, and then put his arm around the other party and came to Giuliani's side.

Old Roots was also chatting with the mayor about his parents, and when he noticed Li You's appearance, he immediately joked and complained twice:

"Lee should have met my son's girlfriend, and seriously, I don't like his choice, psychiatrist? I want him to find a lawyer. ”

After saying this, old Roots also winked at Jin next to Li You, and Giuliani saw the two appearing, and also said with a smile:

"The work of the Federal Prosecutor's Office in the Southern District is not easy at all, and the salary is not high, so you must be mentally prepared."

Jin glanced at Li You, and then replied seriously:

"I'm ready, I prefer to work for the good of the public."

Saturday parties are quiet and decent, and by Sunday night, it's time for real fun.

It is true that a big house can entertain more friends, and after a round walk around with a wink of wide eyes, Christen-Rit realizes that she is working hard and probably can't afford to buy such a house.

The little follower has become a lot more beautiful again, and after being busy with New York Fashion Week in February, he flew around and made a lot of money in half a year.

Hunter Johnson was gossiping around Lee You, and the New York newspaper reported on last night's party, mentioning the two bigwigs, Hunter yearned to say:

"I want to run in the future, how about Mr. Lieberman, I love his speech!"

On the second floor, Britney Spears and the latest popular songs were played, and Li You was watching the night view on the rooftop, and when he heard Hunter's inquiry, he patted the other party on the shoulder, and joked with a smile:

"Remember to study hard, if you have the opportunity, let your sister take care of you, it is more suitable for you to be a powerful actor!"

"Didn't you notice that the girls downstairs like you?"

Hunter glanced around, didn't find Scarlett's figure, and then hurriedly complained:

"She took on a boring comedy, and I knew that the box office would definitely hit without filming it!"

As soon as the words fell, Scarlett who came to the roof was heard, although he was a lot shorter, Hunter didn't dare to fight back after being punched twice, and could only look at his sister depressedly.

"Lee, can we stay here for the night tonight?"

Scarlett raised her head and asked expectantly, and when Hunter heard his sister's words, he immediately complained a few more times:

"Grandma told us to come home early!"

"This is the Upper East Side, it's very safe, we're already adults!"

Facing the younger brother who demolished the stage, Scarlett, who felt that she had lost face, went over and twisted it twice.

When Li You smelled the champagne, he knew that the girl in front of him had probably drunk too much, so he casually agreed, and immediately made the other party cheer.

When the little attendant appeared on the roof of the building, he was also drunk and blinded, hugged Li You and didn't let go, and said in a greasy voice:

"Li, I like the bedroom on the 5th floor, those blue pools want to climb into bed, let's go play some fun things first!"

“.”

On July 10, the New York Times broke the news that Grant Hill had reached a verbal agreement with the Knicks, and he would officially join after the freeze period ended!

"Jordan's successor" came to New York, and fans were overjoyed when they saw the news.

It's just that after this news was announced, the Knicks directly fried the pot, and everyone knew that if they wanted to eat Grant Hill's max salary contract, they would have to make some trades.

Considering that Grant Hill is in the No. 3 position, Larry Johnson, who rushed back to New York, is furious.

In an interview with the New York Post in the morning, Larry Johnson couldn't help but complain a lot, which can be summed up as follows:

"I've worked for the Knicks! I've contributed to the team's three consecutive championships! ”

After winning three consecutive championships, cleaning up the veterans is very unseemly.

Although General Manager Grenfield has not yet been interviewed, as long as this start, the veterans are likely to leave the team, and only Ewing may remain in New York.

Interestingly, when the New York media wanted to interview Lee You, the only one they saw was his agent, Mark Battlestein:

"Lee has recently flown to Los Angeles and he's going to attend some sponsor events."

"He's got a lot of work to do in the offseason, and he's just seen the news about the Knicks."

Mark Battlestein faced an interview with a New York media reporter with a calm and eloquent expression.

Li Youcai got the news, and the one who wants to make a deal must be the general manager Grunfield!

Larry Johnson thought the New York fans would be outraged, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and everyone seemed to welcome Grant Hill more

"It's not that you're not good, it's that Grant Hill is just too good!"

Even though the trade hasn't happened yet, most sports media are predicting that "Big Mom" and Oakley will most likely leave, and the Knicks will have to clean up the slumping players.

Ewing, who was still preparing for a retirement tour, immediately accepted an interview with the New York Post after receiving the news, and then unceremoniously bombarded general manager Grenfield:

"We've just won three straight championships for the team, and what awaits everyone is not a big contract reward, but a trade?"

"I don't know what he's going to do, but we work together and we're still a title contender next season."

"Breaking up the team is definitely the wrong choice! The veterans can also contribute in the dressing room. ”

“.”

Ewing's interview in the afternoon quickly swept the major sports media, and the people who eat melons liked it, and in the evening TNT program, they also began to follow the gossip:

"I can understand Grant Hill's choice, and I can understand Larry Johnson's situation."

"Glenfield didn't do anything wrong, he just chose to upgrade the roster, and seriously, if a trade does happen, the Knicks will be a big boost next season."

Mike Flatello smiled and gave his opinion, obviously this person is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and continues to arch the fire.

Kenny Smith upset Larry Johnson from a player perspective:

"Larry still has oil, and although he has been plagued by a back injury this season, he has contributed on both ends of the floor in the playoffs."

"I don't think it's a good option, you know, Grant Hill doesn't fit into the Knicks' system."

The two debated with each other, and both made sense, and soon host Ernnie Johnson reminded with a smile:

"Why didn't anyone interview Lee? I think everyone wants to hear his opinion at this time! ”

Kenny Smith shrugged and didn't say much, just a simple reminder:

"That's the privilege of a superstar!"
