"Hello? LeBron? Which LeBron? I don't know LeBron?"

"Hahahaha... Just kidding, don't be angry. I know you are LeBron James. Didn't you go to a meeting with Stern?"

"What? Want to join my team? You know...my team is not short of people...so..."

"Ahem, if you can bring Anthony and Wade together, then we can meet in Los Angeles."

"Hey? Deron, didn't you go to Turkey? What? Can you come back? No, no, no, you play well. Next time, make an appointment next time."

"What? Who do you think you are? Harris? I don't know you!"

"call……"

"I can finally be clean for a while..."

Zuo Li put down the bombed phone, pressed mute, and then threw himself heavily into the sofa and buried himself.

Isn't it annoying? Ever since he returned to the hotel after playing the game, the phone has been ringing like clockwork.

Today is September 5th, and two months have passed this summer. Since Zuo Li became famous in the "Zoko Tour" on the 5th last month, Zuo Li and Kobe have played 8 games in this month.

Starting from New York, to Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, and then to Dallas and Houston in the West... They have traveled to seven cities in one month, basically playing one game in three days, and the intensity is almost the same as in the regular season.

And the effect is...

It can be seen from the frequency of Zuoli's phone calls that it is quite good, even a little ridiculously good.

If we talk about the first and second games in New York, it was still a carnival for a few people, but after the fermentation of the two games, by the time they went to Boston for the third game, they had already reached an unprecedented level of popularity and crowds.

Zuo Li didn't know how to describe his feelings when he walked out of the airport. In short, this was probably the first and only time in his life that he didn't receive any abuse in Boston.

All the fans were cheering and shouting his name. At that moment, he was even a little moved.

The same was true for the other players who came with Zuo Li. Nash said afterwards that he knew he had come to the right place from the moment he got off the plane.

The atmosphere outside the court is already like this, and of course it is even more terrifying inside. Although it is still not a well-known arena like North Shore Garden, the arena that can accommodate 10,000 fans is still full of seats early because there are too many fans who want to watch the game, and

No tickets were sold, so this time it was still a first-come, first-served basis. Even 24 hours before the game started, people were already queuing up at the entrance of the arena with stools and even tents.

The fans who finally entered the stadium said that this was the best game they had ever seen. Many of them were still unsatisfied and even wanted to buy tickets and follow Zuo Li and the others to the next stop.

Naturally, this situation once again ignited the basketball circle through media reports, and the "Zoko Tour" became more and more famous.

So starting from the fourth game, Zuo Li's phone calls were inundated. Many familiar and unfamiliar players contacted Zuo Li and wanted to join the team. Many even said that they could go at their own expense, as long as they were allowed to play.

Forced by desperation, Zuo Li and Kobe discussed and increased the number of players on each team by 2, from 10 on one side to 12 on the other.

Of course, four spots are still not enough for them to grab, but this is the limit. After all, in addition to showing the best basketball to the fans, Zuo Li and the others also want to communicate and train.

In a place where fans can't see them, they train and communicate together in the arena every morning. This is equivalent to a basketball training camp, and they are all at the All-Star level.

So you know how valuable this training is. This is why Zuo Li wants to control the number of people. Too many people will definitely reduce the effectiveness of communication.

However, Zuo Li still underestimated their influence. Even though he had announced the limit on the number of players, there was still an endless stream of players coming to inquire. Even the Heat giants who had become mortal enemies with the Knicks came, and LeBron James even played in person.

Phone call, trying to catch the last bus.

Zuo Li naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, Lao Zhan and the others still had great influence, and the last battle was in Los Angeles. He also wanted to end the tour with the strongest lineup.

"Fans have been waiting for a long time. Let's see you there on September 8th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles."

After regaining his energy, Zuo Li posted an Instagram post, which instantly attracted more than 200,000 comments.

Because the list announced by Zuo Li is really terrifying.

Zuo Li team: Zuo Li, Curry, David Lee, Randolph, Anthony, Durant, Harden, Bosh, Roy, Ade, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith.

Team Kobe: Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Bynum, James, Wade, Westbrook, Paul, Nash, Stoudemire, Lopez, Gasol.

O!M!G!

"Isn't this just a pure all-star lineup?!"

And he is also a very interesting all-star.

There's Kobe and James on the same team, there's the Thunder's three young men fighting against each other, there's the Gasol brothers working together, there's even the Suns' golden partners Stoudemire and Nash rejoining forces.

"This is a matchup not to be missed." ESPN reported.

Indeed, the lineup for the final battle was indeed strong, but Zuo Li reluctantly rejected many All-Star requests. There was no way, there were too many people, and Zuo Li could only follow the first-come-first-served principle.

What?

Why do the Lakers and Knicks have the most people?

Take a look at what question you are asking, and go back and retake the course "Emotional Intelligence" as soon as possible!

Do we still need to ask this question?

Moreover, Artest and David Lee have all been selected to the All-Stars, so there is no problem at all here.

Of course Zuo Li will not pay attention to these arguments. He just wants to play the last game well now.

Currently, the Zuoli team is leading 4-3 in the first 7 games. Although the victory or defeat does not matter, Zuoli certainly wants to end this tour with a victory!

So Zuo Li worked extra hard in training and didn't participate in any interviews or anything like that.

"We want to win! Give the fans the best game!" Zuo Li said to his teammates.

This may also be the most important thing Zuo Li can do in the current situation.

But what Zuo Li didn't know was that his tour had an unexpected effect.

"Mr. President, there is chaos outside."

Bald Silver entered Stern's office and placed a pile of news reports on the table, with the contents of Zoko's tour clearly written on them.

"Now people outside are saying that we should just organize an alliance ourselves. They say that we are capitalists who only care about profit," Xiao Hua said.

Putting down the newspaper, Stern was helpless. He didn't know the situation outside, but what could he do? He could neither represent the team nor the players, and as the president of the league, he also had interests that he must represent.

, many things are out of your control.

But he knew that it couldn't go on like this. Originally, the fans' emotions could still be stable, but Zuo Li's wave was a catalyst. If the league couldn't react quickly, bad things might happen.

"Contact both parties, we can't continue the stalemate."
