Chapter 376: The Fastest Player (Daily Chapter)

On April 1, 2005, the New York Post broke the news that Mayor Bloomberg had won the "battle" to build West Side Stadium.

Ever since the Jets were intending to build the stadium, MSG has been against it.

Charles Sr. and eldest James Dolan spent more than $20 million to lobby the Public Authority Control Committee, and the Dolan family would never allow the Knicks, who are currently making a lot of money, to be threatened.

The Public Authority Control Council is a three-vote body controlled by Governor Pataky, House Speaker Sheldon Silver, and Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.

It was particularly tricky to get the agency to veto the proposal, and the governor's influence waned because of Spitzer.

In order to show his power, Governor Pataki will certainly not compromise, and Blomburg can easily control the right to vote.

The stadium was crucial to hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, and the Dolan family's determination to oppose the city hall this time has sparked a huge amount of buzz.

The Jets want to be closer to New York, and if the stadium is eventually built, the project will also accelerate the development of the surrounding area and help raise funds to pay for the extension of Metro 7.

The two sides have been torn apart for half a year, and lobbying firms and law firms are laughing at it, and as long as the Dolan family insists on appealing, they can still get a large profit.

A number of donkey mayoral candidates have been torn apart, and Anthony Weiner, the candidate, has publicly shouted to the media:

"MAT's offer will only take them to court and they will be sued!"

"The other side can only keep explaining in court, months, years, I don't know, I just know that a lower bid will get them into trouble."

Another mayoral candidate, City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, put it simply and crudely:

"I swear I'll stop the stadium project!"

At the public comment session that was voted on the other day, some donkey party figures began to warn board members that they would not rest on their laurels.

Bloomberg took the lead, and the New York Post media outlets went crazy and used media reports to incite public opinion, both hoping to get more public support to achieve their goals.

The Jet players are also encouraging the fans, playing the emotional card, and complaining to the media:

"We just want to be closer to New York, we're all kids who want to go home!"

"The new stadium will give Manhattan residents a better experience, and we want to do our part back home."

In a few months, the IOC will decide on the venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

The stadium does carry the expectations of some, but for MSG, the other side will break their own monopoly on sports.

In this regard, Li You has been annoyed recently, and more and more media reporters want to see him express his position, which almost made him "Yuan Fang" during this time.

On Saturday, April 9, Lee Woo took Milinda and Kim Yi to an invitation from former Mayor Giuliani to dine at an Italian restaurant on Thompson Street.

This flamboyant, retro-style Italian restaurant is well-known in New York and is a frequent spot for many celebrities.

Also invited were colleagues and friends of Mr. Giuliani's former law firm, the former mayor who is still active in politics and in better health than ever, and his ability to make money eventually triumph over his illness.

This Italian restaurant is famous for its spicy macaroni and parmesan cheese, but Li You prefers veal.

The people present were all lawyers, and there was no communication barrier when gossiping, and Giuliani kept communicating with everyone during the meal, and when he came to Li You's side, the former mayor joked with a smile:

"Lee, congratulations on completing the acquisition of Manchester United, if MSG hadn't been in the headlines, everyone would have paid more attention to this news at this time."

At the end of March, the British media were the first to break the news that Red Football Capital appeared to have reached a deal with Manchester United's major shareholders Meunier and McManus.

The news of Manchester United's imminent change of ownership has swept across the UK, and neither Bobby nor the executive director has denied this, only Manchester United fans are still protesting

Through borrowing, Li You, who has sufficient funds, has always been confident in the acquisition, and although the Glazer family has frequently spoken out to the outside world, the other party's borrowing at JPMorgan Chase has been hindered.

With a big financial gap between the two sides, and the support of the Ziff brothers and Ken Grimmer behind Li You, the acquisition is only a cumbersome process.

"It's just my personal hobby, and the acquisition is naturally not worth paying attention to compared to hosting the Summer Olympics."

Li You said it lightly, and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Giuliani, who was sitting here, and talked about the difficulties encountered in the acquisition by the way.

Milinda and Kim returned to the dining room, Li You had already eliminated the veal, and Giuliani looked up and saw the two of them whose appearance had not changed, and said again:

"Congratulations to Miss Wechsler, Director of the Violent Crime Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District, you should have been offered such a position a long time ago."

King got a promotion at the beginning of the year and paid a raise, and his prosecution of gangs and crime syndicates in the Bronx paid off.

"Thank you for your trust, if it weren't for your care, maybe I would still be an assistant prosecutor now."

Dressed in baggy trousers and a blue gown, Kim smiled and thanked the former mayor, and Giuliani laughed as his investment would pay off sooner or later.

Looking at Milinda, who had long hair, Giuliani also raised her glass and quipped:

"Miss Ramis, do you want to consider coming to my law firm, you will become a partner directly, I think Li will definitely agree."

Milinda, who was also dressed, pressed Jin next to Li You, shook her head after sitting down, and said:

"Thank you very much for the invitation, but I have to take care of the baby in my belly, and that's the most important thing right now."

Milinda said as she buried her head in Kim's arms, which made the latter's face slightly red, and when Giuliani reacted, he laughed again:

"It's a good thing to do, Miss Wechsler, I know a few good medical facilities, remember to take care of your health."

"Li, it looks like your big house will be full soon!"

Li You is also very happy, when he reaches the right age, increasing the population has always been his expectation:

"In the future, we plan to create a football team, the Lee football team"

Only halfway through the words, Li You was stepped on by the thin-skinned Jin, and soon the former mayor shared his educational experience, and the dinner was happily held.

At 21 o'clock, everyone said goodbye at the door of the restaurant, and immediately reporters came forward to watch and take pictures.

Old Mike drove to pick up a few people, and after getting in the car, Li You breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to be "Yuan Fang".

Jin Wo, who was sitting in the back seat, was in Li You's arms, and Milinda, who was in the co-pilot seat, counted the time with her fingers:

"The baby in October is just the right time, and Tina Fey's due date seems to be in this month, maybe I should also prepare in advance."

Milinda said that she didn't care, and Jin in the rear turned even redder, and she had unlocked too much knowledge in the past half a year without doing security measures.

Li You lowered his head and kissed Jin in his arms, and suddenly complained helplessly:

"You have to help me come up with an excuse, I don't want to offend Blomberg, there are even fans in the stadium protesting these days."

"But I really don't like sharing the market with the jets, and I'm on Dolan's side for that."

Kim, who was too lazy to think, just adjusted to a more comfortable position, and Milinda rolled her eyes and proposed from the perspective of a lawyer:

"If you make an excuse from the environment of the West End, there must be a part of the community that will not agree!"

Seeing Li You nodding, Milinda suddenly giggled again, and then said with a wicked smile:

"Our little cutie has been fond of eating sour stuff lately!"

Old Mike, who had been driving in silence, suddenly turned his head and asked in a low voice:

"How old is Scarlett? If I'm not mistaken, she's not old enough to drink. ”

Thinking that the enthusiastic girl was extremely involved in this matter and had long since rejected the safety measures, Li You could only laugh dryly:

"Maybe she's just eating too much dessert!"

On Sunday, April 10, the Knicks sit in first place in the league with seven games left in the regular season, three wins ahead, and they can relax a little for now.

For a playoff spot this year, the Eastern and Western Leagues have rolled up greatly!

The Lakers are currently 34-43 and are basically out of the playoffs.

The Timberwolves are still working hard, and as long as they suppress the Lakers, they have a good chance of getting the last train ticket.

It's just that the Timberwolves are still some way away from the Nuggets if they want to get rid of the No. 8 spot.

If nothing else, after facing the Spurs in the first round, Garnett has a good chance of being in the first round.

The Nets are in the same trouble, with the No. 8 position meaning a run against the Knicks.

Kidd didn't want to run into Lee Woo again, and since the end of March, he has been calling on Nets fans to support the team, and Carter has followed suit.

Both wanted to struggle a bit in the final stages to try to get out of the situation.

The Cavaliers and Bulls are also currently battling, with both teams having no hope of finishing in the top three, but neither wants to give up a spot in the top half.

For a rookie team, one more home game has a great chance of breaking through the first round and sprinting at the end, and no one will give up such an advantage!

In the fourth match, O'Neal led the Heat to another win over the Knicks at home, and the regular season met with the two sides tied 2-2.

The media frantically hyped O'Neal to win the award, and this period of time continued to arch the fire, which made the Heat team also sprint for the record in the final stage, as long as there is a slight possibility, the Sharks also want to win the MVP.

The new Wade has also been being shouted at by Big Brother recently, O'Neal admitted that the Heat is his team, and Wade naturally has to carry the sedan chair:

"Shaq is the most dominant big man in history, he's so good!"

"In the dressing room, he taught me how to play for the championship and he came to me on a bigger stage, for which I can only be thankful."

"We're not going to relax, we're going to give it our all in the last few games, and we all want to help Shaq win the MVP."

The Heat are still firmly in second place in the East, and the sports media in Miami have long been boiling, and they have been lending crazy during this time:

"The most dominant duo in NBA history!"

"The true genius of the class of '03 - Flash!"

O'Neal recently boasted about his partner Wade, frantically belittled Kobe, and by the way, he also gave Meng Xin a nickname:

"The Flash!"

Naturally, the New York media scoffed at this title, and the reason was very simple:

"Lee is the fastest player in the league!"

The two sides quarreled non-stop, and the ball critics also joined in the fun, and finally came to the conclusion:

"Li You in his rookie period is not as fast as Wade!"

As for which of the two is faster this season, different commentators have different opinions.

Li You's fast attack is as fierce as a tiger, and in positional warfare, he relies on speed to force the opponent's rounds than relies on rhythm to complete the attack.

Wade's fast break is just as fast, and in positional battles, the projection is a little flawed, so he relies more on breakouts, while also maintaining a good tempo change.

Looking at the highlights alone, Wade is indeed similar to Li You, the attitude of changing the direction of the ball and squeezing the ball around the bag after blocking and dismantling is almost exactly the same.

However, in terms of figure, Li You is stronger, and the new Wade is still a little thin.

Reminiscent of previous scouting reports, it is indeed very apt to refer to Wade as "Little Li You".

That night, the Knicks lost at home to a desperate Pacers.

The Pacers, who are still struggling for a playoff spot, just lost to the Knicks at home a few days ago and are about to be caught up by the Nets, so it is natural to give it their all in this game.

At 108:100, the Knicks' record came to 58-18 after the loss.

Gasol, who has recently returned from injury, is still finding his form, shooting 6-of-14 from the field and 4-of-7 from the free-throw line tonight, recording 16 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

The shooting percentage did not exceed 5% in several consecutive games, and there was also a problem with the finishing of the basket, and the New York fans at the scene did not leave the game after the game, but shouted Gasol's name to send encouragement.

In his post-match interview, Gasol was not frustrated, but took the initiative to promise the fans:

"I'm going to get back into shape before the playoffs, my left foot doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm grateful to my teammates for their trust."

Sports reporters in New York were in a good mood, the Knicks lost, and the Heat also lost at home to the Pistons.

Aside from the question of results, at present, everyone wants to gossip about topics outside the game:

"Pau, you should know Lee and Wade better than sports media like us."

"From a player's point of view, which of the two do you think is faster?"

Gasol smiled, pretended to be serious, and then replied affirmatively:

"Lee, of course! In competitions, Lee rarely goes all out to make moves, he prefers to be in full control of his body! ”

"Everyone on the Knicks knows this, whether it's a jumper or a breakaway, Lee gives people a relaxed feeling."

"Wade seems to lack game experience, he relies more on his explosiveness, and of course, he is also very fast, and every time he blocks and pick-and-rolls, Raga secretly complains to everyone."

The sports reporters around nodded their heads, such comments are more convincing, Li You is the fastest player in the league!

On April 20, the Knicks ushered in the last game of the regular season.

In the past two weeks, after a relatively dense schedule at the end of the season, the Knicks have been steady and have not given the Heat and Spurs any more opportunities.

Due to Tim Duncan's absence from the MVP Conversation last month, the New York media has even called the selfless leader a "coward".

The Spurs faced the Timberwolves in their final game, and Popovich once again rotated heavily.

The same was true for McHale, who pulled out of the main team early that night when the Lakers were completely out of the playoff race and the Nuggets were four wins ahead of them.

In the end, 101-95, the Spurs defeated their opponents, and their record came to 60-22, firmly ranking first in the West.

Duncan did not give an interview after the game, and the players were in the tunnel early.

Tony Parker, who attended the press conference, said a few good words for the boss:

'We all know the sacrifices Thiem has made for the team, he hasn't been in good shape this year and has only played 66 games.

'He's been battling injuries and we've won 60 games under him and Thiem is the MVP in my heart!'

That night, the Knicks also rotated heavily and lost to the Wizards, who were struggling for a playoff standings.

At the end of the game, Arenas, who was interviewed on the sidelines, was also asked about the MVP.

The famous second-round show was not polite, and Arenas even had a surprised expression on his face:

"Why is there such a problem? The answer is obvious! ”

"35 points per game! There should be 10 more assists per game, God! If you don't get the MVP, I'll just question the award. ”

There were still many Wizards fans in the audience shouting Lee's name, and Arenas pointed to the audience and continued:

"Look at the reaction of the fans, Tim Duncan is here, no one is going to cheer him on, that's the difference between him and Lee!"

Losing and hugging one by one, Li You is in a good mood, and after feeding so many games in a row, Gasol's form has rebounded, which will be of great help to the team.

With the win, the Wizards' record moved to 43 wins and they sit in sixth place in the East.

After Li You and Jamison bumped fists, they immediately sent their blessings:

"Well done, Bro! Looking forward to seeing each other in the Eastern Conference Finals! ”

Jamison, who led the team to the playoffs, was already smiling at this time and hugged Li You hard:

"Thanks! Bro, No. 6 is not bad, and honestly, I don't want to face Shaq in the first round. ”

"MVP must be you, we all support you!"

Waving to the fans, Li You slowly walked to the players' tunnel.

With 63 wins and 19 losses, the Knicks won the Atlantic Division championship again.

Although the award was locked early, it wasn't until after the regular season that the talent panel responded.

Before walking into the locker room, Li You's mind moved, and he quickly got the information in his mind:

[Dwyan-Wade's extraordinary explosiveness]

With a smile on his face, thinking that his speed attribute had been stagnant, Li You felt that this talent should be able to change the current situation.

Hill, who was dressed in a formal suit, bumped fists with his teammates one by one at the door of the locker room, looked at Li You's figure, and immediately greeted with a smile:

"We played against the Nets in the first round, and everybody loved it!"
