Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 984 A turbulent summer

Because of Zuo Li's absence and concerns about Zuo Li's health, the Knicks did not celebrate as much as they did last year after winning the championship this year. The team simply booked a nightclub and ordered food from a five-star hotel. That's it.

Celebrated all night.

It can be said to be quite simple.

You may say: Is this simple!? Then how can you let other teams survive?

There is no way, although the Knicks' celebration is still above the NBA average, neither the scale nor the participants can compare with last season's championship. All major stars and celebrities did not attend. Although the atmosphere was warm, it was because there were no

Because of the key figures, everyone was not able to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

In comparison, the entrance of a private hospital in New York was very lively. From 11pm to 2am, there was an endless stream of people, including big-name celebrities and well-known athletes.

The reason why it is an athlete rather than a player is because it is not limited to basketball. Football star Eli Manning, tennis players Roddick, Sharapova, swimming star Phelps and other sports stars have appeared here. I don’t know.

I thought the Lawrence Awards were announced in advance.

Of course, compared with those big-name celebrities, they still get relatively less attention. After all, even DiCaprio is here.

But this is not surprising, because the person hospitalized is Zuo Li, the biggest player in New York at this moment.

Unfortunately, most of them were not able to see Zuo Li, because in order for Zuo Li to recover as soon as possible, the hospital refused to visit after 12 o'clock.

So Zuo Li knew almost nothing about the grand scene outside the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, Zuo Li underwent examinations without stopping, and then of course came rehabilitation treatment.

At 2:30 in the morning, Zuo Li fell asleep in the company of O Mei. The tired Zuo Li slept very soundly.

Rest, rest, you have to rest. It’s already hard to miss the celebration. He doesn’t want to miss the championship celebration in a few days!

…

On June 12, the whole of New York once again ushered in a grand scene that attracted worldwide attention.

When Zuo Li appeared on the bus holding two trophies, the fans who came from all over the world to attend the Knicks championship celebrations were excited.

After three days of recovery, Zuo Li finally fully recovered from the severe cold, and he also participated in the last major NBA event of the season as scheduled.

The entire championship celebration was just like last season. Dolan generously paid US$3 million to pay for this championship celebration. You can imagine what a grand scene it was.

From 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., millions of fans from more than 100 countries around the world participated in the championship parade.

When the entire Knicks team appeared in the New York Mets, the championship parade once again set multiple records.

"Let's see you next season, Dynasty, just one step away!"

In Zuo Li's last familiar farewell words, which aroused endless reveries and expectations, the championship parade also came to an end.

This announced that the curtain of this NBA season has completely come to an end, and people are looking forward to the start of the new season in four months.

If it can start smoothly.

…

"Phew, it's finally over."

In the early morning of the 12th, Zuo Li and O Mei returned home.

When O'Mei walked in, she kicked off her high heels and jumped directly into the soft and waxy sofa. After rubbing it twice, she found a comfortable position and stopped moving.

She is too tired.

She started putting on makeup in the morning, participated in the championship parade throughout, and finally attended the dinner after the parade. Omei felt that she was hollowed out.

Zuo Li watched dotingly as Aomei buried herself in the mat. During this period, he saw Aomei's efforts. Sometimes he had to sigh that he was lucky.

A journey through time travel not only gave him a chance to make up for his past regrets, but also allowed him to meet such a woman.

It's just that... Zuo Li didn't forget Omei's promise about new tricks...

So Zuo Li stepped forward, put his arms through Aomei's plump legs, and hugged her up.

"Ah~!"

Aomei buried her face in Zuo Li's chest.

"Now I know I'm shy...it's too late!"

As we trotted along, the moonlight could hardly cover up the pure color.

…

Early the next morning, Zuo Li showed up at his player agency in New York with a cheerful look on his face.

Zuo Li didn't have to be so diligent, because summer had just begun, and people who had worked hard all season and successfully reached the top would never choose to work at this time.

If capitalists all over the world saw Zuo Li being so diligent, they would probably be surprised.

But the real situation is that Zuo Li is not doing it because of his diligence, but because this summer is already full of undercurrents, and Zuo Li must make some arrangements in advance.

"Boss, you mean, the NBA will be suspended this season?!" Rich Paul exclaimed.

Originally, he thought he came today to discuss summer arrangements. After all, during the playoffs, many activities, invitations, and endorsements had already filled his mailbox.

Not only that, Zuo Li also needs to inspect the business of various companies under his name during the offseason. For example, Sister Ka has already released records, and their player agency also needs to continue to expand. AND1 also sent people to discuss the ZL2 generation next month.

Post a question.

All in all, Zuo Li's offseason is visibly busy.

It's just that Rich Paul never imagined that Zuo Lilai's first words would shock him.

The NBA is shutting down!

If this is released, it will definitely be big news that shocks the world!

"Although I really want it to be fake, as long as you keep paying attention, it's already obvious." Zuo Li spread his hands.

In fact, there were already signs of the league's shutdown as early as May 27 this year. On that day, the NBA Players Union had officially submitted a lawsuit to the U.S. Labor Arbitration Agency, accusing the NBA of using intimidation and threats in the new labor negotiations.

Force the players union to sign a new collective bargaining agreement that is unfavorable to the players.

Earlier, in order to save money, in January this year, NBA bosses began to plan to reduce the salaries of players. During the All-Star Game, negotiations between the two parties failed. At that time, many media and players,

The boss has already started making preparations for the shutdown.

As for the players, the union rejected the hard salary cap of $62 million proposed by the employer, while the employer hopes to reach a 10-year new labor agreement with the players on the basis of this salary cap. In these two aspects,

The players union has always stood firm. They rejected this salary cap limit and also rejected such long-term contracts. If the players did not make compromises, the league began to cry for poverty. In late March, the league announced that 30 teams

Most of them don't make money.

Hunter, the player union representative, said, "We believe that only a few teams are losing money and they just want to make more money."

So the wrangling basically followed the entire second half of the season.

Now that the game is over, the conflict between labor and management has become the main conflict. Zuo Li knows very well that it will not be long before the conflict between the two parties will be completely brought to the table, because July 1st is the expiration of the previous labor agreement.
