On Wednesday, July 12, 2000, Lee was invited to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

Since its opening in 1998, the hotel has been well received, and the Bellagio fountain in front of the hotel has become a symbol of luxury.

At night, 4,000 neon lights and high-pressure sprinklers form a graceful fountain dance group, which is accompanied by appropriate music, forming a special landscape.

Attract tourists with beautiful scenery, the machines and gaming tables inside are the real business of the hotel, and those who come here to play will spend at least a few thousand dollars.

Every year Las Vegas also hosts the World Series of Poker, and of course Lee Woo will not participate in such professional tournaments to find abuse, and Michael Jordan, who is addicted to food, is confidently competing this year.

As a result, Mai Buckle was eliminated on the first day of the tournament on July 6.

The gambling addiction has come up, and for a few days in a row, Mai Buckle has settled down at the large gambling table of the Bellagio Hotel, and calling friends is gambling!

Mark Battlestein helped Lee Woo set off a smoke bomb, and no media has found out about his movements in the past two days.

After coming here, Li You found that there were only some old acquaintances left on the gambling table, and it was obvious that Mai Buckle had lost a lot again, and the others had slipped away after making a fortune.

There is no need to worry about privacy at the large gambling table for the entertainment of the rich, except for a beautiful white girl dealer in the private room, there are few service staff.

"Our big star is finally here, I heard that you bought a $30 million villa in Manhattan?"

"This is the difference between you and those nuns, he only knows how to shout slogans, and as a result, he makes money except to play with women flying leaves is to buy luxury goods."

"If you can't do it, you still want a high salary, mom mess with Farke, sooner or later, one day I'm going to send away all the garbage that can't even play basketball!"

After drinking a little too much, Mai Buckle began to output like crazy after spitting out a cigar, and when he lost too much, he remembered the Wizards, and last season's results broke his heart.

David Falke, who was on the side, subconsciously covered his forehead as soon as he heard this, if the media broke the news, the team would definitely fry the pot.

Looking at the scolding and scolding, Li You just gave David Falke a look that I understand.

Mark Parker of the hook is also there, and Richard McWilliams, co-founder and CEO of Upper Deck, is smiling and tilting his head at Lee.

Steve Wayne is now on a surge in value after selling the Dream Resort to MGM in mid-June for $6.6 billion.

As the owner of the Bellagio Hotel, Steve Wayne personally opened the bet, which has already shown that Mai De has almost lost.

"Lee, you're going to have to take your friends to Las Vegas for a visit, trust me, you're going to love it, look at Mycus, he's been here for almost a week!"

"I don't charge him for anything, and I can do anything to help my super VIP clients have fun."

It's not important to win, the important thing is to enjoy the process of defeating the opponent, and Steve Wayne, who also drank a lot, looked at Mai Buckle who was still scolding and laughed, obviously winning hemp

There is no size on the table, there is no age gap, Li You sat down and found that it was 6 people Texas Hold'em, and he also joked for a while:

"Did you lose to a six-player game? You're not going to lose all of Jordan Sports' dividends this year, are you? ”

"Shet! I can't even spend all my money! I'll win it back! ”

drank the liquor at hand in one go, and Maikou, who lost the red eye, immediately greeted the opening of the card, which caused several people at the scene to laugh again.

The long night starts with Texas Hold'em.

On July 16th, the World Series of Poker has ended, but Las Vegas is still lively, and the face-loving Mai Buckle has stayed here until the end of the tournament before officially ending.

Although he was eliminated on the first day, he enjoyed the same schedule as the champions.

In the luxurious suite of the "Lake View Room", near noon, I felt Li You on his side get up, and Ivana stuck up from behind.

"Wouldn't it be nice to get a little more sleep?"

In the past few days in Las Vegas, Ivana has let herself go again, followed a gamble, and lost a lot of money.

Fortunately, Li You won a lot from Maikou, and he didn't feel distressed when he lost, but took the opportunity to unlock more knowledge, and by the way, he also exercised his rope method.

"We need to fly to Saint-Tropez early, we can't keep our friends waiting too long!"

Ivana, whose body was weak, thought of the itinerary, and then came to her senses, and then whispered:

"I forgot to visit Uncle Phil, I forgot about it completely."

At the party in New York last Saturday, a New York real estate developer also attended with his new model girlfriend.

Knowing that her daughter wanted to go to France to play for a few days, she didn't stop it but generously agreed, maybe this LSP has long wanted to play some tricks with her new girlfriend, and the light bulb may not be able to be turned off at home

Phil Ruffin also has hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, but this one is also an LSP.

Lee woo notices that the local newspaper gossip that the billionaire intends to divorce because he is again in love with a younger Ukrainian lady.

Hearing Ivana's gossip about the relationship between this and his father, Li You secretly wrote down some information in his heart, patted the blonde white rabbit, carefully felt the other party's waist, and then said with satisfaction:

"There is still time in the afternoon, it still has an effect, and it seems to have lost some weight in the past few days!"

“.”

In the afternoon, Michael Jordan, who lost money to satisfaction, had regained his composure when he saw Li You, and the two drank afternoon wine and chatted casually:

"How much money does the Upper Deck exclusive contract give you, and McTWilliams isn't as good at talking as he seems."

Hearing Mai Kou's inquiry, Li You didn't hide it, took a sip of wine casually, and said with a smile:

"5 years 2000W American knife, exclusive autograph card and souvenir production rights."

"I know that McTWilliams cleaned up the founders of the company, but I don't care about that, I do things according to the contract, and the highest bidder wins, and they offer the highest."

Michael Jordan shook his head with a smile when he heard the offer:

"The thing I regret the most is signing a 10-year contract with them, Lee, you should ask for more!"

"The cost of the cards is too low, in other words, they're using our fame to monetize, so I don't like McTWilliams, he's more greedy than I thought."

Li You also knows the other party's plans, and the NBA's unique skin color makes him very popular in Asia.

Although it has been harmonized in China, in places like Japan and South Korea, where the spending power is not bad, these star cards will definitely not be sold.

"That's what they're capable of, I like to win, and the star card can also increase my popularity!"

The other party's various methods of cutting leeks are indeed worth learning, Li You is telling the truth, but Mai Kou continued to quip:

"The hook is a little dissatisfied with your request, they think the contract is too big, but I didn't promise to be a lobbyist, let your agent continue to talk, and there will be results at the end of the month."

"Old Oak is coming to my side next season, and he will play for another year at most, and he plans to retire, you are such a ruthless little bastard!"

After saying this, Mai Buckle drank and laughed, and most of the sports media blamed Glenfield, but he knew that the superstar must have nodded in agreement.

Li You doesn't care, Oakley can't get a big contract in New York, and his starting position is not guaranteed, so it's a good choice to leave the team to make money:

"Each other, old bastard, continue to look for me next time you want to lose money!"

On July 18th, Li You flew directly to Saint-Tropez with his friends Aven, Milinda and the girls, and Bobby Ax and his team had been waiting for a long time.

If the two sides want to start in-depth cooperation, they naturally need to know each other better.

The New York media finally discovered Li You's whereabouts, and soon reported the news that the two were crazy about throwing money.

Although Ai Wen is a down-and-out third generation, as long as the American knife opens the way, relying on the network accumulated in his family, he still climbs to the upper echelons in Connecticut, and Axes Capital is almost dug up.

But Li You is still not at ease, he still has his own methods.

The two sides had a good exchange on this vacation, and they can be called partners in the future.

On July 20, the New York Post broke the news that Oakley had verbally agreed to join the Wizards, and New York fans began to angrily spray general manager Grunfield again.

The three-time champion general manager is not good, and James Doranty didn't mention the buyout of Ewing, but only emphasized the Knicks' goals for next season:

"Overall Champion!"

No one likes to trade with the defending champions, and the Bulls are in the same predicament as the Knicks.

When Kraus wanted to trade Pippen for a new one, Glenfield has replaced the declining Larry Johnson with Grant Hill in his playing years.

On July 21, the New York Post broke the news again that for 13 million in 3 years, the Knicks renewed Rashard Lewis's contract!

After this news broke, the people who eat melons were also happy:

"Is there a lot of money and nowhere to spend it? No data, no body, only a second-round show with passable shooting can get such a contract? ”

Also on this day, at the Tarry Town Training Center, general manager Grunfield gave his first interview to the New York media after entering the offseason:

"We've seen the talent of Rashad and Coach Van Gundy has endorsed the signing, and he'll be the No.4 with Kort for the next season."

"There's no shortage of talent on the Knicks, and we're still in contention for a championship next season."

Many media only noticed at this time that Kurt Thomas also had a 3-year 13 million contract extension, and the big man who did not have a strong presence in the team also got the contract.

In front of the media, although Jeff Van Gundy was smiling, he was also a little dissatisfied.

James Dolan doesn't seem to like his basketball philosophy, a two-year, 10 million, max salary contract, but it's a far cry from a big five-year contract.

"Defense wins the championship, we will continue to make reasonable reinforcements to match Lee with the most suitable lineup for him!"

After Jeff Van Gundy expressed his opinion, some New York media also realized that the situation was not right, and the owner and manager seemed to be at odds.

Lee Yow was not seen in New York throughout late July, and more eyes were on Tim Duncan.

David Robinson and Popovich almost hugged their thighs and dragged Duncan back, and the San Antonio media clamored every day for Duncan to renew Popovich's contract.

Interestingly, after a walk around the Magic at the beginning of the month, Duncan didn't say anything, and at the end of the month, the local media in San Antonio finally got the news:

"Tim Duncan is not leaving, he will fulfill his promise!"

Spurs fans, just like Christmas, saw the news and continued to call for Popovich to step down

"Let's get ready to win!"

Duncan, who had just joined the Spurs, boasted in front of fans and owners, and after a walk, Duncan chose to stay, which also relieved all the teams in the league:

"Just don't join the Knicks!"

On July 30, Hook announced that he would re-sign Li You for 5 years and 75 million US dollars!

It was also announced that the new sneakers will be unveiled on the 1st, and the training camp will also be held in New York.

Sports Illustrated also followed the preview of Li You's latest interview, and major sports media also broke the news that Li You will appear on his own show.

MSG has announced that the Knicks' latest documentary will be released early next month, and "The Last Dance" will reveal the hidden side of the team's three-game winning streak.

On the 31st, Li You just appeared at New York International Airport, and was blocked by the sports media, and soon the Yahoo Sports reporter asked the first question:

"Lee, what do you think of the fact that all your old teammates have left the team?"

Li You took off his sunglasses, looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"I respect the work of General Manager Glenfield because he shares our goal and is all for the championship."

Seeing that everyone wanted to continue to ask questions, the old man in white beside Li You said in a deep voice:

"Alright, guys! Back in Manhattan, we had plenty of time for interviews, and now we had to get out of the way. ”

Li You put his arm around the shoulders of his good brother Nacho and smiled and waved at everyone:

"Don't be nervous, Mike, the media in New York are all my friends, you can come to your new home, don't forget to make an appointment in advance!"
