On July 28, 2002, the Bucks' palace fight drama came to an end.

After failing to make the playoffs, management ultimately opted to trade Glenn Robinson, who was unruly and didn't like training.

The Hawks seem to have picked up a bargain, sending Tony Kukoc, Leon Smith and a 2003 first-round pick to get the All-Star forward.

Before the critic could make a statement, he had already returned to Milwaukee's Ray Allen Metz for an interview, and by the way, he turned into an upright boy:

"I promise Milwaukee fans that the new Bucks will make it to the Finals."

"I can't wait to train with my new teammates, I'll be throwing myself in the gym this offseason and next season the team will be back on track!"

Coach George Carr couldn't be in a good mood for the deal, having always disliked Ray Allen's big mouth and adamantly believing that internal team matters should be resolved in the locker room.

Sadly, when the management made their choice, the hard-working Ray Allen ended up being the future of the team.

Coach George Karl was also quick to say that the tough guy coach didn't forget to PUA Ray Allen again:

"I don't want to discuss the deal, but what I do know is that if the Bucks want to break out of the Eastern Conference, our core players have to step up defensively."

'The leader has to lead by example, he needs to give his best every game, not just on the offensive end but also on the defensive end.

"Barbie can't achieve anything in the league!"

This remark naturally annoyed Ray Allen again, and in private, George Karl simply called Ray Allen "Barbie" within the team this season because he didn't like Ray Allen's "elegant" style of play.

The sports media didn't know about it, but after this public shouting, everyone knew Ray Allen's new nickname.

Soon the two used the media to shout in the air to start a new round of tearing war, and now everyone knows the contradiction between the core players and the head coach.

Some teams are naturally ready to move, and Ray Allen may not be for sale!

At the end of July, the Bucks' trade was a complete blow to the free agency market.

Young fans can also eat melons on the Internet, the online news is updated quickly, and the authenticity of these news is not discussed, as long as it is interesting!

And for the melon-eating masses in New York, the FBI captured a female lawyer with Lynn Stewart, accusing her of having links to extremist groups and spreading terrorist messages.

As soon as this news was reported, it immediately startled sensitive New Yorkers.

A large number of financial institutions quickly moved to Midtown Manhattan, and many residents chose to leave Manhattan.

This news proves that there is still insecurity in the city, and it can be expected that the vacancy rate of residential homes in Lower Manhattan will continue to rise!

This weekend, Li You took Milinda and Kim to entertain the partners.

Departing from Chelsea Pier in the morning, the yacht sails down the Hudson River with views of the New York skyline and landmarks.

Through the services of Amex, Li You and Bobby rented a large luxury yacht.

The standard is similar to that of Bernard Ebers, the owner of World Communications, but it is also equipped with a helipad and other facilities.

Naturally, everyone brought their families with them at the weekend party, and Milinda and Kim, both wearing white dresses, were chatting with the "wife circle" at this time.

The Citadel hedge fund was created by Ken Greenfin, a Harvard-graduate billionaire who, despite his youth, is definitely the best of the best.

In a few years, personal assets exceeded 500 million US dollars, and it is not easy to achieve this achievement at the age of 34.

Ken Griffin's wife, Anne Dias, is a 30-year-old blonde French beauty.

After graduating magna laude from Georgetown University, he worked as an analyst in the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs in New York.

After receiving an MBA from Harvard Business School, he joined Soros Fund Management as an analyst and later rose to the position of portfolio manager.

Last year, Anne Dias just started her own fund in New York, and Julian Robertson, the founder of the Tiger Fund, provided her with start-up capital.

The combination of the two can be said to be a strong alliance, and Li You was able to get acquainted with these two, mainly relying on the introduction of the elephant party boss.

Both have funded the Elephant Party, with Ken Griffin leaning more conservative.

Ken Grimmer was wearing only a casual suit, and by this time he had already taken off his coat and leaned back on the sofa to talk and laugh casually.

Anne Dias, on the other hand, wore a red dress with a striking color and seemed to prefer to make herself the center of attention.

These two are considered elites, and the three brothers on the other side are representatives of "relying on their father with all their might".

The three brothers Dick, Robert, and Daniel of Ziff Brothers Investments are there, and their girlfriends are also chatting in the "wife circle".

The three brothers are also talking about the recent movements of the White House, and they follow the X.

The three were the sons of American publishing tycoon William Bernard Zieff.

In '94, the billionaire dad officially retired after selling most of the family business to Forstmann Little for $1.4 billion.

The main reason why they sold the business to a private equity firm instead of letting their sons inherit it was that the three brothers were not interested in the publishing industry.

The three then set up an investment company and were ready to go big and prove their talents by the way.

The three brothers are now similarly inclined to the Elephant Party, and regularly attend Bloomberg's meetings.

The family members brought with them are all smart girls, all from Cornell University Law School.

Although she is not as beautiful as the French strong woman on the other side, she is still a beauty.

Just last week, the mayor gave a public speech commenting on the report of the investigation into the incident released by the Joint Congressional Committee, and then called on business leaders to give some financial support.

Ken Greenfin responded to the call, and the two of them supported it, but they were not very satisfied with New York's behavior of only shouting slogans, so he sighed in a low voice:

"The influence of the rich in politics is too small, look at how many times this month, Mr. Mayor, has appealed."

Former Mayor Giuliani rose all the way up from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District, so this iron-fisted man has received widespread support for his efforts to sort out law and order in New York.

Bloomberg burned tens of millions of US dollars, and although he got the position of mayor, he encountered more constraints, and at present, it gives people a feeling of being burned.

Ken Griffin, despite his kind face and attentive eyes, is actually just like some hard-line conservatives.

On the other side, the faces of the three brothers were somewhat similar, and Dick stroked his short gray hair casually, and joked with a smile:

"Are you going to run for election in the future? I think the current market is very good, there are opportunities everywhere, and it is more suitable for us to make a big difference. ”

"In four years, I plan to make the company public and make more money, no matter what party it is, they will raise their hands and welcome it."

From the publishing industry to the financial circle, although the span is not small, the three brothers are extremely confident, because they have "internal people", and many transactions are guaranteed to make money!

Daniel is the youngest of the three brothers, only 5 years older than Li You, and when he saw Li You returning here, he immediately asked with a smile:

"Lee, why not choose the NFL, seriously, although Manchester United's financial statements are good, will English football continue to grow rapidly?"

"That's our question, money is not really a problem, people just don't know much about investment in the sports industry, although we can buy back shares, but we don't want to run the club ourselves."

"I even doubt that the other side can deal with us by doing the same as the Hollywood guys!"

Li You sat next to Bobby, took the beer handed by Ken Greenfin, took a sip and said casually:

"There is a real risk in this area, but we can make money through financial means, and I don't bother to take care of the internal affairs of the club, anyway, the debt is their business."

"Even if the interest income is a gift for everyone's help, follow-up dividends, consulting fees, refinancing, re-IPO, and share sales are all ways to make money."

"Stretch it out and I'm sure it's a win-win investment!"

Bobby also raised the beer in his hand and added simply:

'We actually looked at the market and spent a month in the UK, where the fans were extremely loyal and the club's results were very consistent.

"And the English football league is likely not to have large negative fluctuations in the short term, so even if you really can't pay off the debt, it is extremely cost-effective for everyone to buy Manchester United at a 7% discount."

"The security of the loan is very high, we can all get the benefits, and of course, if you are interested, you can go to Europe to watch the football, which is also a good holiday option."

Robert, who had obviously had an in-depth understanding of this investment, and among the three brothers, seemed extremely stable, at this time he smiled and raised the beer in his hand, and said in agreement:

"I agree with the plan, toast to win!"

All three brothers have short gray hair, deep facial features, jeans and dark gray short-sleeved T-shirts, showing off their well-trained figures.

When everyone raised their glasses, they laughed again, and as for the small troubles encountered in the acquisition, several people didn't pay attention to it, and it was a big deal to "rely on their father" again.

Bobby's Axes Capital is already on par with Citadel's hedge funds, outperforming the industry's gains and attracting more investors.

Everyone chatted amiably on the surface, but in fact, they were all potential opponents.

The "technical routes" taken by the two sides are both the same and different, but the several people present are worth more than 300 million US dollars, and they naturally maintain respect for each other and respect for American knives.

The 6 people stopped talking about investment, and after making sure that everyone made money together, they began to brag and fart again.

The three brothers invited everyone to go skiing in Colorado in the winter, and Ken Greenfin wanted them to participate in an art auction in Chicago.

Annie Díaz swayed back into Ken Griffin's arms and quipped:

"Lee, how about I help you get the funds from Goldman Sachs and make me the director of football? When I learned about this position, I liked it a lot. ”

Noticing the blonde girl's somewhat serious eyes, Li You shrugged his shoulders:

"Spare me! Ken Ke can't bear a big beauty like you! The weather in the UK is terrible! ”

"Oh!"

As the girls returned, several people shouted and shouted, and then stopped discussing the topic, and Li You would get the other part of the funds through Morgan Stanley.

Although he himself has money, the elephant party boss has introduced so many people, the purpose is to divide the meat, Li You doesn't care, for him, the scene he wants to see more is:

After the acquisition, when I went to Europe and Manchester, when I heard about the red football capital, the eyes of the people were "full of awe".

It was already 21 o'clock after seeing off the partners in the evening, and when you returned to the cruise ship, you could enjoy the bustling night view of Manhattan.

The head chef on board prepared a supper, grilled meat in addition to seafood.

Milinda had already changed into a wide white T-shirt at this time, and while eating barbecue, she complained about the French beauty:

"I knew that I would also prepare a red dress today, obviously the university is a diplomatic college, and it has not been a few years since I entered the financial circle, so I don't believe that Julian Robertson is optimistic about her!"

Jin Yemei was eating the old barbecue, and at this time her hair was scattered, and her high heels were kicked aside, and she complained wickedly:

"Falling in love with her husband is the same as falling in love with her, anyway, Griffin will definitely invest in his wife, and the two share resources."

"One is headquartered in Chicago and the other is in New York, so it's like a branch, I don't know if they signed a prenuptial agreement!"

"Hah!"

Milinda rolled around on the couch laughing, she really didn't like the French beauty with a sense of superiority.

Lauren next to Bobby was in a low mood, most of the "wives circle" were from law school, so she naturally couldn't talk together.

The whole person looked a little lonely, Li You saw the other party's emotions, patted Milinda, who was still laughing, and then said out loud:

"We should be confident, there is no need to envy each other, now everyone has only money, but in the end, this money will eventually become wealth."

"The old money will also be down, or we are still young now, and the opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!"

Bobby hugged his girlfriend and whispered as he nibbled on a sandwich:

"Li is right, in less than two years, I will be able to surpass them, we will live better, this kind of cruise ship, there is no need to rent it in the future!"

Lauren smiled at a few people, and finally kicked off his high heels, and said with a smile:

"It's rare to see such a beautiful night view, let's go to bed later tonight!"

The three girls brought their cameras and were about to take pictures, Li You had almost eaten at this time, and suddenly reminded in a loud voice:

"Notice the anomaly in Silicon Valley's housing prices? After the dot-com bubble, housing prices rose instead of falling, which can be problematic. ”

"Old Mike and Nacho are collecting some information on the ground, and if you have time, you can also pay attention to the mortgage information, in short, maybe the opportunity to make a lot of money has come again."

Housing prices in Silicon Valley have also been in the news, and Bobby has also noticed it, seems to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and said:

"Looks like we need a partner too! I'll keep an eye on that. ”

On August 1, White House signed the Corporate and Financial Crimes Liability Act, a bill that is also designed to combat financial fraud by U.S. companies in hopes of restoring investor confidence.

Although the media are following the stinky feet, people in the industry know that this thing can't control the bigwigs, and there is a high probability that it will be reduced to a face-saving project in the end.

The Los Angeles Times recently reported on O'Neal's concert, and to the delight of the melon-eating public, most of the Lakers players were there to support, but Kobe Bryant was nowhere to be seen.

More and more people are beginning to believe ESPN's report, believing that after winning the championship, the conflict between the two is becoming irreconcilable.

Phil Jackson didn't want to answer this question, but he was blocked by the Los Angeles Times at the beginning of the month, and in the end he could only talk to the mud:

"Every team has conflicts, every player has different demands."

"Actually, I'd love to see that it shows that the two sides are competing, and this kind of competition for victory will make the Lakers more dominant!"

"It's just that the two guys have a little bit of a different basketball philosophy, and I'm sure Shaq and Kobe Bryant will handle that."

Originally, he was in Los Angeles and general manager Kupchak to study how to bring in reinforcements, but after Phil Jackson said this, he was quickly slapped in the face by Kobe.

Trainer Tim Grover's guidance made Kobe Bryant understand how to prove himself!

In Los Angeles at 4 a.m., Kobe Bryant has been squeezing his body lately, and women will only affect their shooting, and Vanessa has also been thrown aside.

On the second day of Phil Jackson's statement, the Los Angeles sports media blocked Kobe Bryant early.

When asked why he didn't appear at O'Neal's concert, Kobe Bryant asked rhetorically:

"I don't understand why he chose this boring way of celebrating."

"We only won one championship and now we look back at the three home games in the finals and we were very lucky to win!"

'If Shaq had missed a few more goals, maybe the result would have been completely different.'

"I don't believe in his free throws, so I'm going to throw myself in the gym and continue to hone my basketball skills, and I'm going to make up for Shaq's free throws through my own efforts."

"Whatever you say, I'll lead the team to defend the title next season!"

These words made people feel reasonable, and for a while, the grass on the wall changed their mouths and began to spray lazy O'Neill again.

The Lakers held back for a long time in the offseason, and so far they have only given up on Brian Shaw and added some members of the atmosphere group, and there are no heavyweights at all.

There are limited big fish this offseason, but the sports media still wants to eat the big melon.

On August 2, the sports media didn't wait for news from the Lakers, but the 76ers sent away their All-Star center.

The Nets sent Todd McCloche and Keith Vanhorn to the 76ers in exchange for DiCambe Mutombo, who is an unknown age.

The deal is not favorable, and most sports media outlets are not convinced that Mutombo's form can continue.

Although he was selected for the All-Star Game last season, it was largely because there really weren't any good big men in the Eastern Conference.

The Nets signed Mutombo, apparently to be able to break out of the Eastern Conference, and Van Horn was locked up by Artest in the Eastern Conference Finals, a situation that management would not allow to happen again.

Kidd seemed happy with the trade and, in an interview, was quick to express his welcome to his new teammate:

"What the Nets are missing at the moment is an experienced veteran, Mutombo is a big player, he's been through the Eastern Conference Finals, and I'm sure he can help the team!"

“.”

With the addition of Mutombo, it is still unknown whether the Nets can break out of the Eastern Conference.

Iverson, who has not been interviewed recently, also suddenly stated at this time:

"I just hope that the management can add talent to me as the core, we have made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I hope the team can be patient!"

"Reaching the Eastern Conference Finals" and "scoring title" have become Iverson's excuses, and in the face of more doubts, the small man who leads the rebellious trend is becoming more and more unpopular.

76ers fans who like to believe in the process are no longer as brainless as they used to be, and everyone knows that with Iverson as the core, it will be difficult to break out of the East.

The Knicks also made a move, but to the disappointment of New York fans, the team only added an atmosphere group.

After a strained summer league performance and Matt Barnes was waived by the Cavaliers, he struggled to find a job in the market.

After tossing for more than half a month, the Knicks finally opened their arms to him and signed a temporary contract.

The team was waived after receiving wages in the atmosphere group last year, and now it is starting to replenish it.

New York fans would like to see a "big deal", but sadly, there is some bit of a sigh of relief from the teams.

From Cleveland to New York, Matt Barnes will have to continue to struggle, otherwise the Knicks will most likely give up on him in October.

The national team training camp has begun, and the selected players have started to report one after another.

Li You, who has achieved the phased goal, happened to attend the premiere of the movie "Tianzhao" in New York at this time.

After the media reporter at the Siegfield Theater in New York saw Li You with a familiar blonde girl and said hello, some New York media shouted:

"Why blonde again? Lee, is this your new friend again? ”

Li You, who was wearing a black suit, waved his hand, and Catherine, who was wearing a white dress next to her, quietly twisted it twice, this girl had a strong hand, and couldn't help but let Li You respond quickly:

"I'm here to see movies, and science fiction movies have always been my favorite!"

Catherine, who was holding Li You's arm, smiled sweetly at the media in the audience, and then returned to her "royal sister" face, and twisted Li You twice by the way

Most of the people who came to the premiere tonight were dragged by their families, and some even showed up at the scene with a family of three.

The content of the movie is about crop circles, and children love to watch it!

The lead actors, Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix, were both dressed in formal suits, and the two pulled the little Bryslin to greet the crowd.

Li You showed a nostalgic look when he saw the movie poster, the crop circle, the unsolved mystery of the world, this thing used to be his favorite.

Even if a lot of the content was made up, he watched it with relish back then

Mel Gibson really didn't expect Li You to like crop circles, and when he pulled Xiao Bu to this side, he didn't forget to joke twice:

"I'll pack the ticket, you're going to love this movie, and by the way, I'll tell you the news, there are really alien elements in the plot!"

"Hey! No spoilers! I'm looking forward to it! ”

Li You hugged each other and greeted each other, while complaining two sentences, after so many years of media reports, everyone knows that Li You hates "spoilers".

Felix also stepped forward to hug him, and by the way, he introduced the plot with a smile:

"In order to make this movie, the main creators have also studied relevant materials, you can talk to them when you have time!"

"I'm looking forward to it even more! Hello, little princess! ”

Li You complimented, and then he touched his head to kill the little ones who came up.

Catherine noticed that Li You really liked this theme, and was a little surprised, in her impression, Li You did not have such a childish side.

After the movie started to be screened, Li You knew the end after watching the beginning, but the old-fashioned plot and good soundtrack still made him watch it with relish.

Catherine had also looked at it seriously, but it wasn't until Li You whispered in her ear that her face turned red and twisted him again.

The story is a bit old-fashioned, but it is undeniable that with the gimmick of crop circles, the box office results should be good!

When she returns to Catherine's apartment in the evening, the white dress becomes a prop.

After a fierce fight, the time had come to midnight, and the two of them who had taken a bath went back to bed and drank a little sweet wine.

Leaning on Li You, Catherine, whose face was still very red, suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Do you remember your dreams when you were a kid? Do you like aliens? ”

"No, I like pretty girls, my dream has not changed, I want to make a lot of money!"

Li You hugged this blonde girl with super physical fitness, noticed that the other party's eyes were a little confused, and kissed the other party hard.

Gently pushing Li You away, Catherine straddled Li You and asked in a low voice:

"You're already rich, aren't you? Why not relax? ”

Although Li You relies on his "passive talent" to increase the ball, he will find time to exercise seriously every day, and at the same time, his diet is also controlled, and he will only indulge on weekends.

These habits were naturally noticed by Catherine, and looking at the blonde girl's curious gaze, Li You said frankly:

"Money is not wealth, and I like to be a salaried person rather than watching people wave a check at me."

"As for the body, that's the foundation of everything, and I don't want to be crushed under you!"

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Catherine still pushed Li You down again, and then leaned into her ear, pretended to have a vicious expression, and whispered:

"I'll let you tell me the truth tonight!"

The sound of laughter appeared in the room again, the two of them were about the same strength, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

On Sunday, Aug. 4, Lee attended a street basketball event hosted by Hooks in Washington Square Park.

The event has been promoted for more than half a month, and in the 3-on-3 competition, the final winning team will receive a prize of $100,000 and a golden basketball hoop commemorative props.

With the blessing of Meidao and Li You's popularity, the atmosphere is naturally extremely warm, or the scene is already violent, and the event site is full of people, all of them are "fully armed", and they are all equipped with dogs at a glance.

At the beginning, Li You took two players to play a game, which was regarded as a warm-up for the event.

Every three-pointer hit, every dunk will make the onlookers scream.

When Li You suddenly pretended to break through after dribbling under his crotch continuously, pulled back with a large cross-step, and suddenly shook the defender to sit in place, the screaming couldn't stop.

The moment he shot and hit the three-pointer, the streetball players who ate melons all rushed to the court and shouted around Li You:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Xiuhuahuo, Artest is really not good, but Li You is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow, not to mention that such a game also allows individual rounds to "serve dishes".

After the official start of the event, the atmosphere of the scene exploded, the 3v3 was already intense, coupled with the excitement of the bonus, the game almost became a "bloody basketball".

Li You was wearing sports pants and a black T-shirt with a hook on his upper body, moving his body slightly, and he suddenly felt a lot better.

Chris Paul was still depressed when he arrived with his father, who had a huge impact on him after the unexpected death of his grandfather.

After Li You met the fans' demand for a group photo, Paul also came to the front with the ball and said seriously:

"I'm going to play at Wake Forest University in the future, Lee, thank you, I've learned a lot in your training camp."

The atmosphere at the event was still lively, Li You patted Paul, who had grown a lot taller, and sent his blessings:

"The NCAA is just the beginning, you're going to be a big star!"
